Class Survival_ Im the Only Guy on the Bus - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Teacher Jiang’s Talent
​
Translation by: Weebsread👹
​
“You’re all going too far! They’re my students!”
​
Jiang Ningyue’s phoenix eyes locked onto her colleagues, her gaze brimming with disappointment.
​
“That’s right! That Gu Pingsheng from your class is now not just the top Bus Driver in Area 6, but number one in the world. That means your students have the strongest overall power anywhere! You must have loads of resources—so what’s wrong with sharing some with us?”
​
A heavyset woman in a grimy padded jacket jabbed a finger at Li Ruoyao and the other girls, her voice shrill above the crowd.
​
She was the college’s psychology instructor—everyone knew her class was a joke. The first half of every session, she’d have students present group PPTs while she lounged in the back, glued to her phone. The second half, she’d take the podium just to brag about her son living abroad; most of her class was just time wasted. She was notorious for obsessive attendance—three sign-ins per session, and if you missed even one, she’d threaten you with a fail. No one liked her.
​
“Gu Pingsheng is indeed my class president, but the Gu Pingsheng in Area 6 and the one driving the Safe Passage Bus could just be players with the same name,” Jiang Ningyue retorted quickly.
​
The fat teacher shot back, “Teacher Jiang, you’re being naive. ‘Gu Pingsheng’ isn’t exactly a common name, and both are in Area 6. What are the odds that’s just a coincidence?”
​
At this, the previously silent dean of the Education College, Hu Liming, finally spoke up, his tone slow and oily. “Teacher Jiang, since your students are doing so well, why not help your fellow teachers in this difficult time? As teachers, we devote ourselves to our students… Isn’t it only reasonable for them to support us now with some supplies?”
​
He patted his bulging belly, his eyes roaming over the group of female students with unconcealed lust.
​
So fresh, he thought to himself.
​
There were things he’d wanted to try even before the crossover—maybe now he’d finally have the chance.
​
Hu Liming was no stranger to exploiting female students—especially graduate students, threatening their academic records for favors.
​
But regular college girls were even less likely to resist…
​
If only he could get onto their Bus, maybe even become the Driver—how wonderful would that be?
​
A flash of anger flickered in Jiang Ningyue’s eyes.
​
Even if her students were number one, what did that have to do with these teachers?
​
To brazenly demand resources from students—did they have no shame at all?
​
Yang Jiaxin leapt to her feet, jabbing a finger at the dean’s nose and shouting, “You filthy old dog! We pay tuition—teaching us is your job! Now you’re begging? Did your mother die or something?”
​
Hu Liming’s face twisted with rage at the insult.
​
How dare she curse him like this!
​
At Yang Jiaxin’s outburst, many girls couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
​
Even Jiang Ningyue’s lovely face froze for a moment before she, too, couldn’t help but laugh along with her students.
​
…
​
“Dean, the students’ Bus has nothing to do with us teachers. We have no right to ask them for supplies. Besides, in a situation like this, it’s really not appropriate…” murmured a bespectacled male teacher beside Hu Liming.
​
This was Li Wei, the advanced mathematics teacher of the Education College.
​
“What’s it to you, Teacher Li? We’re teachers, and students already have it easy. My Marxism class costs over a thousand per session outside school… but here, it’s practically free for them…”
​
Li Wei’s expression darkened.
​
He thought the dean was an utter fool.
​
Did he really think the students would just hand over their supplies if he asked shamelessly? This was the Survival World—if the students refused, what could he do, try to rob them? And these were the world’s top-ranked Bus team…
​
More importantly, their counselor—Jiang Ningyue—was the core strength of their Bus!
​
Jiang Ningyue had started out with an A-Rank Talent: Telekinetic Control.
​
She could manipulate all kinds of monsters with her mind, fully dominating those with lower Constitution than her own. Against monsters with higher Constitution, the effect and duration would vary, but control was still possible.
​
The same was true for Players.
​
It was thanks to this powerful Talent that their Bus had survived until now.
​
During Blood Moon Night, when they’d faced powerful Silver Quality or mid-tier zombies, it was only because Jiang Ningyue had briefly controlled them with her psychic power that they’d managed to escape.
​
Their survival was largely due to Jiang Ningyue’s abilities!
​
If they provoked these students and Jiang Ningyue, and she decided to join them instead—what then?
​
“Teacher Li, the dean is right—this isn’t your business. Besides, the dean is the Driver. Why are you interfering?” sneered another sharp-tongued female teacher.
​
“Students should have the moral character to respect their teachers.”
​
…
​
“Of course, you students are welcome to join our Bus instead! If teachers and students join forces, we’ll be even stronger. With us teachers protecting you, you’ll be safer than ever,” Hu Liming finally revealed his true intentions.
​
If his Bus could absorb the world’s number one Bus, wouldn’t that make his Bus number one, too?
​
“What are you thinking, you fat, pig-faced idiot?”
​
Gu Pingsheng’s cold voice cut through the crowd from the restaurant entrance.
​
He, Lin Qiunan, and Zhang Keke strode up to the group of girls.
​
Li Ruoyao moved to Gu Pingsheng’s side, quickly explaining what had just happened.
​
“I already know. Don’t worry, there’s no way we’re giving them any supplies,” Gu Pingsheng said calmly.
​
Lin Qiunan quietly sized up the teachers, already judging who among them harbored ill intentions and who were genuinely good. She could see it all at a glance.
​
“Pingsheng, I’m sorry…” Jiang Ningyue looked at Gu Pingsheng, her eyes full of apology.
​
“It’s fine, Teacher Jiang. Leave this to me. In fact, I don’t think you need to go back—why not just join our Bus?” Gu Pingsheng suggested.
​
Jiang Ningyue was stunned for a moment, but then agreed without hesitation. “Alright.”
​
She had her reasons for agreeing so quickly.
​
First, ever since the crossover, she’d been constantly worried about her students’ safety. Now that she’d finally found them, of course she wanted to join their Bus and protect them personally.
​
Second, she was sick of the looks she got from the dean and some of the other male teachers.
​
The dean, as Driver, had even tried to use the Expulsion Function to threaten other female teachers…
​
If not for her own Talent, she might have fallen victim herself.
​
With no better choice, Jiang Ningyue had threatened the dean—if he dared try anything improper with the female teachers, she’d refuse to help the Bus ever again!
​
Because of her threat—and because the Bus needed her—Hu Liming had restrained himself somewhat.
​
But by now, she was utterly fed up with the environment on that Bus.
​
As for whether Gu Pingsheng and his group were truly the world’s number one Bus, it didn’t matter to her.
​
If they were, then they’d be even stronger together.
​
If not, she’d simply do her best to protect her students!
