Hikigaya said this, but his eyes were looking away evasively.

This expression of "I'll just pretend to know her first" appeared.

Li Nian guessed that this guy didn't even remember that there was a person named Yuigahama in his class.

Yuigahama obviously noticed this and had a shocked expression.

"I was in the same class as you for a semester, but you didn't even remember who I was..."

Li Nian shook his head and stopped watching the farce. He turned his head to look at the scene of the incident. A black car had stopped on the side of the road, and a... very eye-catching young woman got out.

Shiny black hair, delicate and transparent white skin, and a handsome face.

She was probably about 20 years old, wearing a soft dress with white as the base color and light lace trim. Although she was revealing a lot, she looked incredibly elegant overall.

"Yukino, wait for me a moment."

She smiled and greeted someone in the car, then suddenly put on a worried expression and came over here.

Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.

That’s right, a worried expression instantly appeared on his face. He was not mistaken.

"Oh? I'm so sorry! My driver was so careless! Are you guys not hurt? Did you get hit anywhere?"

He didn't seem to have any intention of blaming them. He took the blame on himself as soon as he opened his mouth. He seemed to care more about whether anyone here was injured than the trouble caused to him by the incident.

This made Yuigahama feel relieved, but she immediately bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Actually, it's all my fault that I didn't keep an eye on Sabre and let it run onto the road. It's all my fault! I caused trouble to the young lady and the two classmates!"

"It's okay, it's not important." The woman smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly, then looked at Hikigaya worriedly: "Are you really not hurt? It looks like you fell and it hurts a lot, eh?"

She seemed to want to take a closer look at the situation and reached out her hand to Hikigaya, but Hikigaya dodged her hand and shook his head like a rattle.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a slight fall. It will be fine in a moment. Don't worry, the car didn't even touch the corner of my clothes. It was all our fault for being stupid and violating traffic regulations and running into the middle of the street. You are not responsible at all."

"Really? At least no one gets hit."

He clarified the matter with a few words, causing the woman to look a little troubled, but she soon seemed to accept Hikigaya's statement and breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Li Nian with a smile.

"But you almost collided with him just now, didn't you? It was so scary to watch. Thanks to you for saving us, we didn't get into any big trouble. You were really fast just now. I didn't expect you could pull the man away. You're amazing."

"…It's just a small favor."

Li Nian's "heart" moved slightly, and he felt that the woman's smiling gaze was a little intimidating, as if there was something hidden deep inside, making him feel a little uncomfortable being stared at.

He frowned and looked around. The commotion here attracted the attention of people around him.

Li Nian felt it was even more troublesome and suddenly said.

"It seems that there is nothing for me to do now, right? Sorry, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. I'll leave first."

In short, the person was rescued and no accident occurred. It seemed that neither side wanted to pursue the matter. Li Nian felt that there was no need for him to stay any longer. He left these words, bowed his head to signal, then turned and left.

His reaction surprised the woman and Hikigaya.

"Please wait!" Yuigahama subconsciously asked to keep him.

It was nothing more than some irrelevant words of thanks, which were meaningless. Li Nian kept walking, didn't even turn his head, waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested in talking more, and left like that.

The woman narrowed her eyes and looked at his back, thinking about the shadow that flashed past the window at the critical moment she had just seen in the car, with a smile on her lips.

"He seems like a very unusual child..."

Yuigahama spoke to her from behind, looking at a loss, so the woman turned around, smiled, and waved goodbye to the two of them.

"I'm glad everything is alright. That's all. Please take good care of your pets next time."

"Yeah! Yes, yes! This will never happen again."

Yuigahama nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The woman returned to the car, started it, and drove away as Yuigahama and Hikigaya watched.

"Wang Wang!"

The dachshund barked twice and licked Hikigaya's face happily, causing him to come back to his senses. He called out to Yuigahama with a look of disgust: "Take this stupid dog away quickly."

“Ah…ah! Yes.”

Yuigahama took the dachshund, and Hikigaya didn't seem to want to continue to tangle with her.

"I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"what……"

Yuigahama wanted to say something, but without saying anything, he quickly walked back to the car, picked up the car, pushed it away, and left as if he was escaping.

The girl was left standing there blankly, holding the puppy.

Chapter 23 Encounter

Although a minor incident happened on the way, Li Nian quickly forgot about it.

He arrived at the school and stood outside the gate. He stopped for a moment to look at the tall plaque with the name of "Chiba City Sobu High School" inscribed on it. He took a deep breath and then walked into the school gate with mixed feelings.

I didn't rush to my class. Instead, I walked around slowly and looked at the school building, the playground, the atrium and other places.

In the memory of his previous life, all the scenery were strange and unpredictable, but Li Nian saw many feelings in it, not only because of its beauty, but more importantly, these scenery had a kind of "campus" atmosphere.

This atmosphere brought a sense of familiarity and nostalgia to Li Nian, but it was also very strange and novel.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been to a place like the school before this.

As he was strolling around, he unknowingly arrived at the school's dojo.

“Drink—drink—drink—!”

Before entering, I heard rhythmic and stern shouts, followed by the crisp sound of wooden boards being stepped on.

As far as he remembered, this was the place where clubs like the Kendo Club and the Judo Club held activities. Li Nian looked and saw that it was still early, but the door was open, and it seemed that some students had already arrived.

Is it still possible to do morning exercises on the first day of school?

Li Nian curiously went to the door and took a look inside.

In the vast and flat space with wooden floors, the only girl standing there stood out.

She was a pretty girl with long black hair tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a white Taoist robe and was practicing sword swinging seriously.

When he saw her profile, Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, then his eyes widened in surprise, his heart shocked.

He remembered this face. It was one of the visitors who came to the Yin-Yang Hall and had contact with his predecessor after the spiritual disaster!

I remember his name was Isayama...

The girl didn't notice anyone outside the door. She was just concentrating on swinging the sword, moving forward and backward, swinging the wooden sword with force, repeating this over and over again. This was the basic kendo exercise, Su Zhen.

It seemed that she had practiced for a long time before Li Nian came. It was obvious that she was exhausted. She was sweating, her cheeks were red, and her forehead was covered with messy hair. But her expression was serious, and she did not show any pain. Her body was still straight and upright. Her movements seemed unaffected. She swung the knife steadily and powerfully, keeping the rhythm. Each time, she swung it with great force and simplicity, and it was quite fast, accurate and ruthless.

As Li Nian watched, his mind raced, and many questions immediately popped up in his mind.

He first wondered if he had recognized the wrong person. How could a professional exorcist be attending the same high school as him?

However, although the Miss Isayama was wearing a black suit and looked mature and steady, she was indeed a very young girl...

He quickly calmed down and looked at the girl's profile carefully again. The more he looked, the more he felt that they resembled each other.

If it really is that Miss Isayama... I can ask her about the Onmyoji Agency and the Exorcists.

Li Nian was very concerned and wanted to ask in person, so he stopped at the door. It was not a good idea to disturb others under the current circumstances, so he just watched quietly, waiting for an opportunity to talk.

Jianshan continued to practice swinging the sword and did not notice Li Nian's presence until she had swung the sword forty-seven times while maintaining the refined movements. Then she suddenly changed her chopping posture and swung the sword horizontally. When the force of the sword was exhausted, she retracted her steps, stood up again, closed her eyes, and slowly sheathed the sword. She then held the wooden sword in her left hand, stood quietly and naturally, and exhaled a long breath.

Her practice seemed to have come to an end. Li Nian seized the opportunity, clapped his hands and gave her a compliment.

"pretty……"

No one hates being praised. Li Nian said this deliberately to start a conversation, but it was not a lie. Martial arts knowledge was ingrained in Li Nian's bones like an instinct. He could tell from the details of the simple sword-swinging action that this girl had some kendo skills, and he admired her from the bottom of his heart.

Li Nian's sudden voice echoed quietly in the room and reached the girl's ears. She was startled and turned around, only to see a boy standing at the door.

She was a little confused for a moment.

"You are……"

She didn't seem to know Li Nian, but Li Nian also knew that this could not be used as a basis for judging that she had never seen him. After all, he was completely transformed compared to his previous incarnation.

You have to ask for the name first.

Li Nian pretended that he had expressed his admiration inadvertently, but now he made a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Oh, sorry, I was just watching and couldn't help but speak... I'm sorry to disturb your practice."

This made the girl think that he had no intention of peeking and had no ulterior motive, so she breathed a sigh of relief and let down her guard a little. Then she thought that since it was unintentional, the compliment just now seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, so she couldn't help but smile slightly and cast an interested look at Li Nian.

"So what you mean is, classmate, you also know kendo?"

"No, I just think your movements are pretty beautiful."

Li Nian shook his head. He was telling the truth here. Although the knowledge related to Kendo already existed in his mind, he himself had no actual experience in practicing the actual content of Japanese Kendo, so he didn't pretend to be arrogant.

"Yeah……"

When the girl heard Li Nian say that he didn't know kendo, she looked a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Li Nian suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, I have always been interested in kendo. Senior sister, you are from the kendo club, right?"

Li Nian called her senior sister, and he didn't know what age the girl was, but it seemed that Li Nian guessed it right. When the girl heard the name, she looked at the ribbon on Li Nian's chest, and from the color of the ribbon she judged that he was a sophomore student. She gladly accepted it and nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, so, if you're interested, would you like to join in and give it a try?"

Just as Li Nian guessed, the girl naturally brought up the topic of persuading people to join the club.

Although he was not without interest, Li Nian also planned to use the afternoon club activity time to work, so naturally he had no intention of joining the club, but he smiled and nodded at this time.

"Really? That's great. I do want to join the Kendo Club. To be honest, I've been looking for a sport that can keep me fit, and I've become interested in Kendo. So, I came to the dojo on the first day of school. But as you can see, I'm a sophomore, and it's already the second semester. I wonder if I can still join the club?"

"It's okay. Our club's activities are not so strict. As long as you really want to learn the relevant knowledge of kendo, you can join at any time. There will be kind and amiable seniors to guide you, such as me."

The girl patted her flat chest and said with a smile.

This friendly smile became more and more similar to the face in his memory. Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and felt that the time was right, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"That's great. How about this, can I meet you, senior? My name is Li Nian."

The girl tried to read Li Nian's name in confusion, but she didn't understand how to pronounce it. However, she soon stopped worrying about it and gave her own name with a smile.

"I am Isayama Yomi."

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 24 Hiratsuka Shizuka

When Li Nian heard the name, the smile of the girl in front of him completely overlapped with the face of the visitor to the Yin Yang Hall he met in the past, and he knew that she was almost certainly Miss Isayama. He didn't expect that this exorcist was actually a high school student, and what a coincidence that she was studying at Sobu High School with him, and was his senior in the third year.

He knew that the breakthrough in becoming an exorcist might be here.

But at this time, Li Nian was not in a hurry to get closer to her or ask about the exorcist. She just secretly took note of the person named Jianshan Huangquan from the Kendo Club. After exchanging a few words with her, she said goodbye and left.

After leaving the dojo, Li Nian had visited every corner of the campus. It was an unexpected gain to know that Miss Isayama also studied in this campus, which made Li Nian very satisfied.

Next, he did not go directly to the classroom, but came to the faculty office.

He wanted to find Mr. Hiratsuka because he felt it necessary to meet with the class teacher first and also wanted to explain a few things about the spiritual disaster that had befallen him.

When he arrived at the office, the door was open and some teachers were already in place. Li Nian appeared at the door and was glanced at by several teachers who noticed him. They thought they had never seen this student before, but they didn't pay much attention to him.

Li Nian knocked on the door to attract attention and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Hiratsuka here?"

As he said this, he looked towards the nearest young female teacher, expressing his hope for some hints.

She was a cute woman with a baby face. She didn't seem to have slept well and had a drowsy and confused expression on her face. But she seemed to understand what Li Nian meant. She yawned with tearful eyes, raised her finger weakly and pointed in a certain direction, and shouted softly.

"Xiao Jing, there's a handsome guy looking for you."

Li Nian looked in the direction of her finger. There was a sofa in the corner of the office. A young female teacher was sitting there with her legs crossed. She seemed to be still sleepy. She was pressing her forehead with a painful expression on her face and closing her eyes to rest.

The long black hair spread out, revealing a beautiful woman with a proud chest and a good figure. She was dressed in a white shirt over a pair of trousers, and looked more handsome than beautiful.

This is the class teacher of Class 2 F, Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hmm... handsome guy? Looking for me? Who?"
