This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Wanrenzhan slammed his hand against the desk and stood up almost immediately, demanding,

“You impersonated a training teacher?!”

Other than impersonation, they couldn’t think of any better explanation.

Annie’s face darkened.

“In this kind of competition, disguises are meaningless.”

Rather than a warning, it sounded more like they hoped He Yu would deny what they were seeing.

The others also stared at He Yu with widened eyes, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

He Yu himself remained perfectly calm.

He raised a hand and pushed up his glasses, blinked innocently, and spread his hands helplessly.

“Students, I’m not impersonating a training teacher.”

“I am your training teacher.”

Wanrenzhan: “......”

For some unknown reason, seeing that expression on He Yu’s face made his hands itch terribly.

Wanrenzhan clenched his fists, then loosened them again. Veins bulged across his forehead, and his cheek twitched slightly.

No matter what, he refused to believe that another contestant could suddenly transform into a teacher.

If daytime rules hadn’t forbidden killing, he might have impulsively attacked already just to test it.

“Teacher He, I brought your staff badge.”

A middle-aged man’s voice came from the doorway.

Everyone subconsciously turned to look.

The newcomer appeared around fifty years old, bald, slightly overweight, with a badge hanging on his chest that read—

Principal.

This was the current principal of <Dawn Training School>.

He had personally delivered He Yu’s staff badge.

Which confirmed—

He Yu had really become a teacher.

He Yu accepted it.

“Thank you, Principal.”

Then he calmly attached the badge to himself.

The barrage inside Wanrenzhan and the others’ livestreams exploded—

“???”

“How did he become a teacher??”

“He’s also supposed to be a transfer student!”

“How can a contestant become an NPC?! That’s impossible!”

“Is he cheating?”

......

Tang Ke voiced the audience’s confusion.

“This violates the rules. Why are you allowed to become a training teacher?”

They turned toward the principal.

“Principal, he’s also a transfer student.”

The principal looked completely calm.

“He possesses the qualifications necessary to become a teacher. Our school values talent regardless of convention, so naturally we can hire him as the fifth training teacher.”

Wanrenzhan gritted his teeth.

“So, Principal, you’re seriously letting him teach us <Fundamentals of Combat Power Development Principles>?”

A book they had all studied before.

The most basic foundational text.

Practically the enlightenment textbook for Federation citizens.

Wanrenzhan refused to believe this instance world hadn’t studied it too.

Normally, instance worlds were based on the Federation.

If <Fundamentals of Combat Power Development Principles> was the Federation’s enlightenment textbook, then naturally it would also be one here.

So He Yu becoming a teacher—

And teaching an introductory textbook—

Definitely meant something was wrong.

This instance specifically stated that training teachers could not be killed.

Which meant training teachers were “good people.”

And also the only trustworthy NPCs when contestants needed to report murderers.

The existence of training teachers was extremely important.

He Yu was a player.

Yet he had somehow become one of these critically important “good NPCs.”

What the fuck kind of nonsense was this?

This was practically a bug.

And on top of that, him becoming a training teacher brought another terrible consequence for Wanrenzhan and the others...

After putting on the badge, He Yu glanced at the words “Training Teacher He Yu” and curved his lips slightly.

Then he looked calmly at Wanrenzhan.

“Student, please don’t underestimate this course.”

The principal nodded deeply in agreement.

Everyone: “......” Even if we don’t underestimate it, it’s still just an introductory textbook!!

From the moment He Yu became a teacher, the barrage had practically exploded—

“Production team! There’s a bug! He Yu became a teacher!!”

“What exactly is contestant 2333’s identity? He definitely isn’t some ordinary garbage-planet contestant, otherwise why does the production team keep giving him cheat abilities?”

“I can’t believe this. How did he even become a teacher??”

“And he’s teaching an introductory textbook too! If I remember correctly, he only got that book during the preliminary stage! I know it better than he does!”

“Production team, stop giving He Yu cheats!”

......

Amid all the shocked comments, a few suddenly appeared—

“People from He Yu’s livestream are here. Go watch the replay before talking.”

“Same. Go watch the replay.”

“After watching it... I’m kind of dazed right now.”

“Me too......”

......

The other viewers: “?”

After freezing briefly, they immediately switched into He Yu’s livestream and opened the replay.

In an instant, He Yu’s livestream rose to the very center of the featured viewing area.

The cover images of all the other elite contestants’ livestreams instantly became mere background decoration.

—

Time rewound to two hours earlier.

He Yu removed his school uniform jacket, flipped it inside out, tied it around his waist, then knocked on the principal’s office door.

Because of the recent incidents at school, the principal was present at this hour.

So he opened the door.

Then frowned.

“You are...?”

He Yu wasn’t particularly tall.

At 180 centimeters, he would be considered very tall on Blue Star.

But within the Federation universe, he appeared somewhat short.

So he subtly stepped back half a pace, pushed up his glasses, and revealed a bright, confident smile.

“Hello, Principal. My name is He Yu. I’m here to apply for a position as a training teacher.”

With the uniform flipped and tied around his waist, his school pants hidden from view, plus the confidence and composure he naturally exuded—

The principal failed to associate He Yu with being a student.

But even without thinking of him as a student, the principal still impatiently shook his head.

“No need. We already have enough training teachers. We aren’t hiring.”

Clearly, the endless troubles at school had left him with no energy to deal with applicants.

After speaking, he moved to shut the door.

He Yu raised a hand and pressed it against the door, stopping it from closing.

Then he smiled helplessly.

“Principal, I heard Dawn Training School was the most promising academy on this planet. I also heard that you were famous for being unconventional and exceptionally wise.”

“But it seems... reality doesn’t quite match the rumors.”

The principal’s face darkened.

“You—”

He Yu interrupted him.

“Otherwise, why would you push away your chance to become a legendary grandmaster?”

The principal froze.

Then his gaze became mocking.

He looked at He Yu as though staring at a lunatic spewing nonsense.

“Do you even know what you’re saying? A legendary grandmaster? Ridiculous.”

His voice dripped with ridicule.

Yet He Yu remained calm and composed.

He was a hall-of-fame-level actor.

He knew exactly how to project the demeanor of an “expert.”

And more importantly, how to make people believe him.

“Of course I know.”

“And I can accomplish it.”

He pushed up his glasses, eyes steady and confident.

“Principal, if Dawn Training School produced countless experts under your leadership...”

“If it pioneered an entirely new method of combat power development...”

“If Dawn Training School became the most desired academy in the entire universe...”

“As principal, as the originator of all this, wouldn’t you become a legendary grandmaster remembered throughout history?”

The principal stared at him, suspicion still filling his eyes.

“However, it seems the principal isn’t even willing to give me a chance to demonstrate.”

He Yu shook his head.

As he turned around, he sighed softly.

“I thought the principal truly was as the rumors claimed. Someone worthy of cooperation.”

“Looks like I was mistaken...”

And then he left without the slightest hesitation.

That decisiveness instead caused the principal to hesitate.

So he subconsciously blurted out—

“Wait!”

He Yu stopped and turned back.

“Half an hour. If you aren’t willing to spend even half an hour listening to my ideas, then there’s no need for cooperation.”

After speaking, he lifted his foot and continued walking, completely without hesitation.

The principal hurriedly called out—

“Fine!”

—It was only half an hour.

—What harm was there in listening?

If the guy turned out to be talking nonsense, he could always have security throw him out afterward.

So the principal let He Yu inside.

The two sat across from each other.

The principal even politely poured him a cup of tea.

He Yu accepted it and smiled.

“My apologies, Principal. I take back what I said earlier.”

“You truly deserve your reputation. Cultured, broad-minded, and unconventional.”

Before entering the office, He Yu had displayed disappointment and disdain toward the principal.

The principal had been furious.

The only reason he agreed to hear He Yu out for half an hour was because of that irritation lingering in his chest.

—What do you mean “not as good as the rumors”?

—If you’re messing with me, I’ll deal with you properly afterward!

That mentality was why the principal kept He Yu around.

But now, hearing He Yu suddenly praise him—

He subconsciously straightened his posture while holding the teacup. His chin lifted slightly, and his expression relaxed.

Even the way he crossed his legs changed.

After coughing lightly, he said,

“Speak. Don’t try fooling me. I may be broad-minded, but I don’t have a good temper.”

He Yu smiled and nodded.

“Understood.”

—He had already succeeded halfway.

“Our family is extremely powerful. We have countless members whose personal combat power has reached A-rank — above 200 points. And when combined with equipment, several have even surpassed S-rank, over 500 points.”

He Yu spoke calmly and naturally, without the slightest trace of bragging.

Barrage comments: “?”

Barrage comments: “THE FUCK? You have eight combat power and came from a garbage planet! What family?!”

Combat power rankings ranged from F to SSS.

Within the competition, people usually referred to precise point values for greater detail.

The principal nodded without finding anything strange.

“The He family truly is impressive.”

Barrage comments—

“???”

“I don’t understand anymore!”

“Holy shit, wait a second! Contestant 2333 and Wanrenzhan’s group are all transfer students. Usually, anyone capable of freely transferring into a senior-year school has powerful backing. The instance must’ve filled in additional settings! ‘He’ must be a major clan surname in this world!”

“When he introduced himself as ‘He,’ that was probably one reason the principal let him inside!”

“You can do that??”

......

He Yu continued talking—

“My father used to be an S-rank expert. He was only one step away from SS-rank — 1000 points. But because of special circumstances, he lost the ability to use equipment and became a crippled disgrace within the family.”

“And me? My combat power also wasn’t high enough.”

“So my father’s equipment, and all the equipment I once possessed, were taken away.”

The principal listened attentively.

—Gossip involving major families was always attractive.

An S-rank expert becoming crippled was completely normal in this world.

And once someone became useless, having their equipment confiscated was practically inevitable.

He Yu seemed to sink into memory as his voice softened.

“My father refused to accept it. He and my mother spent their entire lives researching how to restore combat power. How to use abilities without equipment.”

The principal immediately rejected the idea.

“Impossible. Equipment is the manifestation of combat power. Without equipment, how could anyone fight? How could abilities be used?”

He Yu nodded in agreement.

“Exactly. Equipment is important. Equipment enhances combat power and allows combat power to manifest.”

He took out a firestone.

The principal’s eyes widened.

“What are you doing?!”

The instant he spoke, a weapon appeared in his hand. His gaze became guarded.

Firestones were extremely dangerous.

Like waterstones and other equipment, they didn’t increase combat power themselves, but their destructive force was terrifying.

If ignited here, the entire office could be destroyed.

He Yu smiled and lit it.

The principal cursed loudly.

“You lunatic!”

Just as he prepared to flee—

The fire went out.

The principal froze and turned around blankly.

In He Yu’s hand, the firestone had already turned into ash.

At some point, He Yu had also produced a waterstone.

It too had crumbled into ash.

【???】

【What the hell is He Yu doing?!】

【Even though he looted plenty of equipment during the preliminaries, these two were among the most useful! He just destroyed them??】

The livestream audience was already dumbfounded.

The principal: “!!!”

His eyes widened in horror, pain flashing deep within them.

Two pieces of equipment had just been destroyed so casually!

And without even serving any practical purpose!

This man was too wasteful!!

If the situation weren’t inappropriate, he would’ve clutched his chest in heartbreak.

—Were members of major families really this extravagant even after being cast aside??

Meanwhile, He Yu remained utterly calm, as though none of it mattered.

“You see? This is equipment. A fire-attributed stone. By injecting combat power into it, the firestone ignites.”

“The same applies to waterstones.”

“If you don’t use firestones and waterstones, then how can you create fire or water?”

The principal: “......”

He sat back down and stared at He Yu in confusion.

“What exactly are you trying to say? Everyone already knows this. It’s written in <Fundamentals of Combat Power Development Principles>.”

Did this universally known concept really require sacrificing two pieces of equipment to demonstrate?!

—The principal’s heart hurt again.

He Yu also sat down.

“Yes. <Fundamentals of Combat Power Development Principles> shaped our deepest assumptions.”

“I believed it too. I thought my parents’ research was wrong.”

Suddenly, He Yu lifted his head.

His gaze was complex and sorrowful.

“But... they may have succeeded.”

The principal froze before instinctively refuting—

“Impossible!”

—Without equipment, how could abilities be used?

He Yu’s eyes reddened, and his voice became choked with emotion.

“My parents died.”

“They died in a fire.”

“A fire ignited by my father’s combat power.”

The principal parted his lips.

“But didn’t your father lose the ability to use equipment?”

He Yu suddenly looked up and stared at him intensely.

“Exactly.”

“He couldn’t use equipment. He was crippled.”

“But he ignited flames using combat power alone.”

“He burned himself and my mother to death.”

“He burned down an entire estate belonging to our family!”

The principal’s eyes widened.

By now, He Yu had completely guided his thoughts.

Like listening to a story, the principal’s emotions had begun moving together with the narrative.

He Yu continued,

“From my father’s surviving notes, I learned something.”

“He believed equipment was merely a medium. Just like the firestone and waterstone in the demonstration. Combat power only manifests through a medium.”

He Yu’s gaze gradually became almost mad.

“So then...”

“Why must the medium only be equipment?”

“Why can’t humans themselves become the medium?”

“Why can’t the human body itself become the equipment?”

The principal blurted out—

“Impossible!”

He Yu sneered.

“Is it really impossible?”

“Then what about my father’s death?”

“What about his self-igniting combat power?”

—Words alone were difficult to trust.

—But what about a “real example”?

—Especially one the other party had already partially accepted.

The principal opened his mouth but found himself unable to refute it.

He Yu slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened them again, the madness had receded somewhat, though enough remained for the other man to notice.

“Principal...”

“You understand the kind of impact my father’s path would have if it truly succeeded, don’t you?”

After a long silence, the principal nodded.

—It would overturn the worldview of the entire universe.

—Redefine combat power itself.

He Yu regained his composure and looked at the principal expressionlessly.

“Dawn Training School is currently facing crisis.”

“The murderer still hasn’t been found.”

“Many students have already transferred away.”

“The school’s reputation is collapsing.”

“Even if the killer is eventually caught, the reputation damage cannot be reversed.”

“So...”

“Are you willing to cooperate with me?”

“Are you willing to let me teach the foundational course and test my father’s theory?”

—Nobody believed in pie falling from the sky.

—But what if obtaining that pie required taking a gamble?

“I refuse! I absolutely won’t let you experiment on students!”

The principal shot to his feet in fury.

“If students die because of this, who takes responsibility?!”

He Yu tilted his head to look at him.

He knew—

This man was tempted.

“I’ll take responsibility.”

“And I guarantee no students will die.”

“I only need half a year.”

“No... one month.”

“One month later, you may dismiss me at any time.”

His voice became deeply seductive.

“Principal, you lose nothing.”

“You’re simply hiring me for one month.”

“If it succeeds, all the credit belongs to you.”

“Dawn Training School will instantly become the number one academy in the universe.”

“You will become the universe’s number one principal.”

“A legendary grandmaster.”

“Everyone will dream of entering Dawn Training School...”

“As for the murder case?”

“It won’t matter at all anymore.”

—When a windfall required gambling, opportunists were often willing to take the risk.

—Especially gamblers cornered into desperation.

From this principal, He Yu had sensed no concern for students.

Only anxiety over the school’s worsening situation.

Which meant—

He would agree.

Sure enough, after a very long silence, the principal asked,

“One month?”

He Yu nodded calmly.

“Yes. One month. I already have a direction. I only need experimentation.”

The principal unconsciously tapped his fingers against the desk, brows tightly furrowed.

—Agree?

—Or refuse?

If He Yu’s theory was real and succeeded, every single problem facing him would disappear overnight.

If the theory was false, or the experiment ultimately failed and caused consequences...

The worst possible outcome would merely be a student dying.

And compared to the school’s current situation...

That honestly didn’t seem much worse.

Finally, the principal gritted his teeth.

“Fine.”

“One month.”

“You are now Dawn Training School’s fifth training teacher.”

He Yu slowly rose to his feet and extended a hand.

“Principal, happy cooperation.”

The principal glanced at him before extending his own hand as well.

Their hands clasped together.

And just like that—

He Yu became a training teacher at the school.

Barrage comments—

“???”

“I fucking surrender!!”

“If I didn’t already know He Yu’s background, I would’ve believed every word of that bullshit!!”

“Holy shit, why does everything he says sound so real??”

“I actually got completely dragged along by his story just now! If the barrage hadn’t reminded me, I would’ve forgotten he came from a garbage planet and knows nothing about combat power!!”

“What the hell is wrong with this guy?!”

“Production team! What’s wrong with this NPC?! How did he actually hire He Yu as a training teacher?!”

“He Yu’s control over human psychology is terrifying.”

......

The barrage exploded with discussion.

He Yu accepted the appointment letter handed over by the principal and casually said,

“Oh, right, Principal. I’m technically a transfer student in Class 1 of the third year. Please change my transfer-student status into training-teacher status.”

The principal: “???”

He froze and stared blankly at He Yu.

Things had been so chaotic recently that he hadn’t personally handled transfer students.

Which meant he never realized—

There was another transfer student named He Yu.

He Yu shot him a meaningful glance.

“It couldn’t be helped, Principal.”

“If I didn’t enter as a transfer student, I wouldn’t even have gotten through the school gates.”

“And I never would’ve met you.”

The principal’s suspicion faded away.

Becoming a transfer student had merely been a method to enter the school and see him.

If He Yu weren’t completely confident, he wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble.

Otherwise, how could his actions possibly be explained?

—Surely it couldn’t all have been just to become a school teacher?

Besides...

It was only one month.

The principal shook his head.

“Don’t create too much commotion. Otherwise even I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Go collect your uniform. I’ll deliver your badge later.”

He Yu nodded and left with the appointment letter.

As though suddenly remembering something, the principal asked,

“What exactly is your combat power development theory called?”

“You know... the strange theory about using yourself as the equipment instead of relying on equipment.”

He Yu stopped walking.

Then slowly turned around.

His glasses rested against the bridge of his nose, reflecting a faint cold gleam.

His hoarse voice sounded out—

“In my hometown...”

“This would probably be called—”

“No middlemen skimming off the profits.”
