Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Misfit Recruitment Drive

The air in Huanfeng High buzzed with rumors that Lin Wei-min was assembling a study group—not just any study group, but a battalion of utter misfits. Wei-min believed that to conquer the monstrous exams ahead, he needed more than just brains; he needed chaos, unpredictability, and—most importantly—snacks.His first recruit was Li Juan, the self-proclaimed "Snack Queen," whose passion for crisps and biscuits was unmatched. She burst into the courtyard wielding a bag of mystery-flavored chips like a general brandishing a sword. "A study session without snacks is a crime against sacred academic law!" she declared, causing a group of nearby students to burst into laughter.Next came Jian Yong, infamous in school for his legendary pranks that always failed spectacularly. He cartwheeled into the scene, knocking over a recycle bin and narrowly missing a passing teacher. "I promise to keep the spirit high… and the distractions higher!" he vowed with a gleeful grin.Hu Wei was next, appearing just out of the shadows like a flickering flame. She spoke little but offered three mysterious envelopes, containing some "secret notes," which turned out to be doodles of ghosts and inside jokes about the weirdest teachers in the school.Finally, there was Li Jun, who tried to look tough but couldn't stop tripping over his own feet. He hauled a bag of gym clothes and six textbooks with equal clumsiness. "I might not be book-smart," he admitted shamefully, "but I'm strong enough to carry all the snacks!"Together, they formed what Wei-min proudly dubbed the "Chaotic Study Brigade." The first study session was scheduled for that night and, true to form, it quickly devolved into a whirlwind of spilled drinks, wasted flashcards, and a nervous showdown with the rival faction led by the ever-intense Bai Ying.When Li Juan accidentally triggered a food fight by flinging a chip at Jian Yong, chaos exploded. Books flew, snacks disappeared into mouths faster than lightning, and Hu Wei's invisible antics made her the perfect stealth saboteur.In the midst of the mayhem, Wei-min laughed and shouted, "This is exactly the kind of chaos we need if we're going to survive this war!"And so the "Chaotic Study Brigade" was born—not with perfect grades, but with perfect friendship, snack reserves, and a mission to turn the academic battlefield into their playground.
