The morning run finished,

Luo Di's laps were increased to match the Squad Leader, Lebeite, at an even four hundred, due to his improved physical condition.

It seemed like he also went through a secret training session last night because he not only arrived at school first this morning but also ran so fast he almost surpassed the Squad Leader.

Of course,

The freshmen experiencing the morning run for the first time were lucky, especially Yu Lu, who had never physically trained and usually relied on hanging to move, had trouble even with basic walking.

Mr. Question Mark assigned her just one lap, which she barely completed by crawling and walking.

It turned out to be effective afterward; Yu Lu even tried walking back to the classroom and decided to slowly adapt to walking from now on.

Today's class was Teacher Guo's language lesson.

The new students initially thought someone as mysterious as this teacher, also the founder of a special organization, would impart some truly useful monstrous knowledge or even teach the mysteries about the Vortex.

However,

Teacher Guo simply walked in with a pile of novels, each one different, and then handed them out.

Luo Di received a thin literary work called "Outsider."

Lebeite got the thickest book, named "Global History."

"These are books I selected based on your performance in the freshman assessment.

You are expected to finish reading them within a week, write a reading reflection, and then individually visit my office at any time, submit your reflection, and discuss the content with me.

For the rest of the class time, you can read on your own.

For shorter works, I recommend reading them multiple times. If I find your understanding of the book's content remains shallow, your treatment at the school may be adjusted.

Additionally, there is another matter.

The school cafeteria has started a trial operation today. After you finish reading, you can go have lunch there.

Dinner can also be arranged at the cafeteria. I've tried the food myself, it's likely better than what you can make at home, and it's nutritious, beneficial for your growth."

Frank, who came to class with a pumpkin head, quickly added,

"Mr. Hunter has been busy with the cafeteria work since the freshman assessment ended. He was still preparing when I went back last night.

That's why the trial operation started so quickly. I hope you all give it a try, it's really delicious."

Luo Di wasn't paying attention to the external conversation; he was already engrossed in the book.

Ever since getting involved with Hell and beginning the path of a "Murderer," he hadn't sat down to read a book like this in a long time.

After finishing the entire reading, his emotions reached their peak, and he quickly wrote down a reflection.

After Luo Di finished a two-thousand-word reflection, he noticed that only he and Lebeite were left in the classroom, and his stomach had long been growling with hunger.

When he checked the time, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon; he hadn't realized he spent eight hours reading in one go.

The other students had likely left the school after eight in the morning.

Lebeite was still engrossed in it; "Global History" documented the entire history of human development, and he read it very thoroughly, making copious notes on almost every page and raising questions to discuss with Teacher Guo later.

Not wanting to disturb Lebeite's focused demeanor, Luo Di headed to the teacher's office alone to submit his assignment.

After reading Luo Di's reflection, Teacher Guo, showing the same smile as he did at Fourth Middle School, was very satisfied.

"This reflection is sufficient to prove that now you can calm down and do your current tasks well, instead of aiming high due to your improved physical condition and worrying about the so-called world's survival.

Additionally, you already know about [Joker], right?"

"Mr. Question Mark talked to me last night, he asked me to study diligently for a month, and then he will provide me with the intel."

"Then go and rest."

"Yes."

"You too, Teacher Guo."

As Luo Di turned to leave the office, his tongue gently clicked, not as a warning but as a kind of resonance.

Turning his head,

He saw a recliner at the back of the office where Gust was sleeping; he had just woken up and was greeting with his tongue extended from his mouth.

"Hey Luo Di! What a coincidence, let's go together... I can sense that you're hungry, so why not go to the cafeteria and have something to eat?

I want to see what kind of food that guy can make, and if it can pass my tongue's test.

If it's not good enough, or if they try any tricks, I'll just eat their tongue."

Before Luo Di could respond, the previously distant tongue was already draped over his other shoulder, ushering him out of the office.

They walked towards the school cafeteria together.

"What are you doing here, senior?"

"Tomorrow is biology class~ I also need to prepare the course materials carefully. If it's a class, I naturally have to teach something useful. After all, unlike you, others don't have the opportunity to seek extra lessons from me at night.

By the way,

Come home with me tonight! Your Hell Shell has a lot more room for improvement, and we can thoroughly perfect your tongue later.

Wait..."

Gust's tongue seemed to have tasted something as it licked Luo Di's body.

"Why does your body have the Question Mark smell, did that guy contact you last night?"

"Yes, Mr. Question Mark also tutored me last night."

Upon hearing this, Gust immediately changed his expression, "What does that guy want? You're my designated student, and he's trying to snatch you away, right..."

But in the middle of his sentence, the anger dissipated, turning into a sleazy expression, "That's fine, that's fine~ It's just tutoring, nothing serious. Maybe we can even tutor you together, Luo Di."

At the same time,

Lying in a bathtub full of ice cubes, with a face mask on and his mind filled with teaching plans, Mr. Question Mark shivered involuntarily.

Chatting along the way, they reached the school cafeteria.

Perhaps having already smelled their scent, Hunter was waiting at the door in advance.

His appearance no longer showed any information associated with the "Carnivorous Family" name,

He had a lean body, aged appearance, and a standard chef's outfit.

Only the slicked-back hairstyle remained, styled with oil.

Facing this once extreme monster, who cooperated with the Joker, aiming to ambush and hunt him, Luo Di surprisingly found it hard to muster Hate.

Luo Di's smell couldn't detect any foul stench, the one named [Evil], seemed to have been completely consumed by Hunter himself.

"Welcome to the school cafeteria, both of you please follow me."

Following Hunter into the cafeteria, stepping on the mat felt like being swallowed inside.

Instead of the expected public dining area, they directly arrived at a private room.

"I've spatially modified the place, so students coming together can directly reach a room matching their specification.

If one comes alone, they can choose to dine alone or share a table with others.

Since this is your first time here, I'll prepare a personalized meal based on your physical condition, which will be served in about five minutes. Please wait a moment."

Quickly, Hunter brought in the dishes.

For Luo Di, it was a "Spicy Dragon Beef Noodle Soup" paired with his homemade chili oil, and chilled mung bean soup simmered with lotus seeds, white fungus, and dandelion.

It catered to Luo Di's favorite noodle requirement and helped to cool and soothe the heat.

The food for Gust was served on a heated iron plate,

Upon lifting the lid,

A whole, medium-rare tongue was presented, with bite marks along its edges.

It was accompanied by various seasonal vegetables and a glass of sour plum lemon tea, to stimulate appetite and aid digestion.

This tongue was actually Hunter's own tongue.

"Oh, full of sincerity!"

Seeing the tongue, most of Gust's prejudice faded away.

Luo Di also tried his favorite noodles,

As the noodles entered his mouth,

his thoughts drifted to the back kitchen, seemingly witnessing Hunter's vigorous noodle-making.

The fiery heat from the chili oil activated Hell, provoking Luo Di's urge to start exercising, but the chilled mung bean soup quickly dispelled that heat, achieving a perfect balance.

"Delicious!"

As Luo Di instinctively praised,

Hunter handed over something else, not a dish but a notebook, seeming to have something tucked inside.

"I collaborated with the Joke twice targeting you, Luo Di. Although we were both part of the Eight Evil People, we are not very familiar with each other.

However, I did keep an eye out.

This is what I can give you, concerning personal intel on Joke.

There's also a piece of his residual skin inside. It's skin tissue I bit off his face during his second invitation.

I don't really want to explain why I collaborated with him because this is ultimately my issue."
