Chapter 8: POINTS.
It had been four days since the system started, and the entire school was in utter chaos—especially the dormitories and the grand hall, where students from different sections clashed the most. The constant battles to make each other lose points turned those places into war zones.
Every classroom had a small digital screen that flickered on and off, displaying real-time updates of the students' points. Notifications popped up like relentless reminders of their ranks, fueling rivalries.
The only time Hua Rong ever found peace was between class hours, a brief window where the madness settled, if only for a moment. She wished those moments would last longer.
But honestly, some students were just stupid.
Blindly threw themselves at others, thinking that would guarantee victory, only to end up losing points instead. Unless the opponent fought back, the attacker was the one penalized. Some of them hadn't figured that out yet, which made watching their reckless fights almost entertaining.
Hua Rong had thought she would finally get through one class without disturbance—until an argument broke out in the middle of the break.
"How?! How did you lose so many points?!"
Zhou Yifan's voice rang across the classroom as he pinned Gong Yefeng against the wall, gripping his collar. His frustration was evident, eyes burning with disbelief.
Gong Yefeng scowled. "He was the one who attacked me first!"
"But you lost more points than him!"
Hua Rong sighed. That was the problem with this ridiculous system. Gong Yefeng had fought a student from Section B, Feng Moyan, and although Feng Moyan took more hits, Gong Yefeng was the one penalized the most. If he had just kept his temper in check and walked away, Feng Moyan would have been the only one at a disadvantage. But no—his pride got the better of him, and now their class was at a loss.
