"I declare I will not kill myself."
"If I do end up dead, you needn't mourn for me."

He suddenly laughed again, looking around at everyone present, and spoke once more:
"The words I just said were on behalf of the Normal candidates, showing that I stand with you and I'm supporting you."
"As for myself, of course, it's a different story."

"If you can't take me down in such a fair and square setting, do you really think you'll have a chance in the exam room?"
His gaze landed on the young man in white, and he waved his hand dismissively:
"Someone saved you just now—when the real exam starts, who will save you then?"
