Please stop persecuting your students!

"Hmm? Hiss——"

Byleth touched it subconsciously and accidentally touched the wound, gritted his teeth in pain. Saki smiled and shook his head, then looked behind him.

"Ni...zhen, help him."

"Okay~ Just order me around."

Nia waved her hand, and clear water rings fell on Byleth. Rich green light filled the young man's body, and the wound on the back of his neck healed quickly.

However, Nia couldn't help but frown, and a look of horror gradually appeared on her face.

What is going on?!

Volume 496 Class Starts! Tianshen Primary School: Chapter Chapter Teacher's Heartbeat

"That man, the one named Barrett Eisner, he..."

"What's up with him?"

"He has no heartbeat!"

"...?!"

Saki used a long shot to pick up the lunch box that had slipped out of his hand due to a momentary distraction, and looked at Nia in front of him again.

"What did you say?!"

"There is no heartbeat. Or rather, that person's heart is not beating at all."

Nia gestured at her flat left chest, and although she vaguely felt some malice, she continued to talk about her previous discovery.

The former leader of the Knights, who is also the son of Geralt, the current leader of the Knights after his return, has a heart that is like a piece of dead meat, with a pulse and heart rate of zero. In movies and TV series, the heart rate measuring device in the hospital can directly make a "beep~~~~~~" death announcement sound. If from the perspective of normal people, a stopped heartbeat means death, then this person is no different from a zombie.

It was just a normal treatment in the life of a Blade. Who could have thought that there would be such an "accident"?

Saki had never expected that the young man who was still active on the battlefield not long ago and could still chat and laugh with him about teaching experience afterwards would actually have such a secret. Fortunately, he had discovered the goddess and her followers before, so he was able to remain calm for the time being. He pretended to be calm, stroking his chin and asked:

"So he's a zombie or something? Have you tried treatment?"

"I don't know about zombies or anything, but the treatments aren't having any effect."

Nia shook her head and gestured at her chest.

"But his blood is flowing normally, and everything except his heartbeat is normal... and there is something very strange stuck in this position. I have no idea what is going on."

Saki listened silently and stuffed rice into his mouth.

Don't be fooled by the many chicken soup articles in the past, such as how a small heart can do so many things and then talk about some seemingly relevant but actually irrelevant truths. To put it bluntly, the heart is just a mass of muscle, a mass of muscle that provides the power for blood to circulate throughout the body, nothing more. For a healing blade, the difficulty of healing a damaged heart is not much more difficult than having a piece of meat bitten off from an arm by a beast.

Even with the troublesome rejection reaction, human technology in his time had developed several artificial hearts that could replace the functions of the original heart. After the world changed later, even the rejection reaction was about to be eliminated by biology.

After all... after being digitized, the data can be directly absorbed and rewritten. Once you master it, most people can reattach small things like a broken arm by themselves.

Therefore, Saki has reason to believe that in such a magical world, it might be possible to use magical means to replace a stopped heart and maintain the normal circulation of blood in the human body.

After all, even Irena could theoretically do the same thing, for example, by cutting open the chest and carving specific runes on the aorta, she could provide the blood with directional acceleration "power".

The drawback is that blood pressure will be very stable, extremely stable. In this case, it is hard to say what will happen during strenuous exercise, so the effects of the spells and runes need to be further adjusted... Byleth should be in a similar situation, right?

As long as they understood the principles of how the human body worked, these things would not be difficult for the people of Fordlan who had mastered some magical technology. Saki had no doubt that they could understand these things - after all, they had even created such a crazy nuclear bomb as the Gun of Light.

However, such a thing actually happened to Byleth, who is most likely the protagonist... Could it be that this is actually some kind of large-scale afterlife, and Byleth donated his heart to Surtis during his lifetime, so in the afterlife he has no heartbeat because his body is incomplete, but he also has a connection with Surtis because of this. The prototype of Fordola is not Fire Emblem but Teacher Beats... Well, Yuzuru Otonashi gave a thumbs up.

Enough of the joking.

A goddess that the family cannot see, a foreign object in the chest, a heart without a beating, a container, and a dark figure who knows where the goddess is... Is this a chess game or a suspense game?

Saki scratched his head, increasingly feeling that the situation in Fordlan was quite different from the stories happening in the kingdoms of White Night and Dark Night... But anyway, things were starting to get interesting.

After reading the script and opening the perspective, it is certainly safer and more confident to act. But it is also interesting to explore a world full of fog of war step by step like a blind man touching an elephant - of course, this is based on the premise that one's ability to survive has been greatly improved.

If it was before he succeeded in obtaining the amulet cross, Saki would never think that such a world full of foreshadowings could be called "interesting".

In a nutshell... bloating!

The next thing to do is to investigate these minor details while trying to find a way to kill those dark movers without getting yourself killed... But there is an easier way.

After finishing the meal, Saki silently took out two invitations and fell into thought. Nia took a look, her ears twitched, and asked:

"Should we give them that?"

"Not ready yet."

Because he didn't know them well, he just needed to find a way to bring them to Tenjin Elementary School, so that they could get to know each other better. But because he didn't know them well, and didn't know their true background, Saki couldn't just send out an invitation.

After all, Byleth is bound to the goddess, and there are too many variables in bringing a goddess to the school. Saki has not dared to help the students on the Astra because of an assassin + artificial wormhole, so he dare not let an unknown goddess into the school casually... Even if this invitation letter makes him excited every time he approaches the other party, S+'s scary name and ability to reverse time are enough to scare Saki away from any thoughts.

Before he finds out the secrets of Byleth, the truth about his followers and the goddess, don't even think about letting him send out this invitation letter personally - if you have the guts, just fly to Byleth and Surtis yourself!

As soon as this thought came to mind, a familiar spherical wormhole suddenly exploded on the two invitations, then shrank, leaving behind a smooth and flat marble table top. The invitations to Surtees and Byrett disappeared without a trace.

Nia was furious on the spot, and subconsciously looked at Saki, only to see the corner of his mouth slightly raised. She immediately understood, sat back in her seat, and said with a pout:

"teacher"

"Ok?"

"You are really despicable now!"

"Hahahaha~"

Saki began to laugh wildly.

Volume 497 Class Starts! Tianshen Primary School: Chapter Chapter Teacher's Knee Pillow

Handing the decision over to the principal was the choice that Saki made when faced with a difficult student substitute like Surtees.

Protecting students' safety was one of the few principles that the principal had emphasized to him before he took the job, and Saki has been doing so until now. He believed that the principal would not put the rest of the students in danger for the sake of one or two highly rated dangerous students.

The level of this student is too high and he has no confidence in being able to control him. If the principal has the confidence that he can control the other party, then just let him in - that's what he means.

Commonly known as passing the buck.

After all, this was the principal's school, and he was just a resident and worker. If the principal really wanted to recruit a certain student, he wouldn't have to care about the opinion of a person with the title of acting principal. The two times he met Byleth, Sutis became more and more excited about the invitation. Even if this hadn't happened, it would only be a matter of time before it broke through Saki's suppression and flew out.

...To put it bluntly, it's just passing the buck.

Nia naturally understood this, because Saki himself felt the same way, so she said that, but it was just a casual remark.

After all, Saki really couldn't take on this responsibility, and the title of Dragon God was too big. It couldn't be like in movies and TV shows, where a protagonist suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the face of a crisis and said, "I'm brave and I can do it," and then when other senior executives were still practicing Tai Chi, someone else suddenly appeared and said, "Okay, you do it, I'll take all the responsibility," and then put the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even billions of people on the fire.

To put it nicely, it means you have courage and are decisive. To put it bluntly...if you don't have the aura of a protagonist and end up failing, will you just bow or resign?

How about performing a caesarean section?

Don't take on a job if you don't have the skills. This principle is universal regardless of the era or background. Responsibility is not something that can be casually said in bed, pulled up your pants and then thrown aside.

...These should be enough reasons to pass the buck, right?

Saki sighed. Even if he threw it away, the weight of the pot still remained in his hand. It was impossible for him not to care... Sure enough, he should have been more decisive and torn up this invitation that would never be sent out from his hand in his lifetime, right?

Can this thing be torn off?

Saki suddenly wanted to do a test, so he tore open a super small space crack and reached in to touch it. His expression changed and he couldn't help but whistling.

"Good guy!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Seven invitations are missing!"

Saki opened the crack a little wider, bent down and looked, swept his eyes across his small warehouse, confirmed the number of invitations in several stacks, and said:

"The invitations to Little Fanny's classmates are missing."

Nia: "...Good boy!"

It goes without saying what happened. The principal took away some invitations that Saki had saved and had not sent out... However, the invitations to villains like Talese, Shin, and Mie, as well as students in the monastery like Thetis, Ceros, Flynn, and Claude did not disappear. He only took away the parts that Saki "still had reservations about even after some contact."

At this point, the student explosion was inevitable, and Saki looked up at the sky and simply gave up thinking. Nia, wearing a white winter outfit, sat quietly on the side, staring at the creatures flying in the flowers next to her that were gradually dyed with bright colors. She licked her lips instinctively, and was a little eager to move.

"instinct"

The teacher and the student had traveled nearly 100 kilometers back and forth, and had spent a whole day at school, so they couldn't even think of moving for half a day. They should have used their precious home visit time to start poaching students and teaching at the same time, but they just stayed in a corner of the monastery and even wanted to try the hot springs and saunas mentioned by Thetis.

After sitting there for a while, Saki glanced at Nia who was about to throw herself at the flowers. He flicked his fingers slightly, and a wisp of spiritual power grabbed the girl's collar and pulled her back. Nia immediately let out a low cry of surprise and fell headfirst.

Duang~!

"Ow~!"

so hard!

Saki: "...Huh?"

Emmmm...different from what you imagined?

While Nia was covering the back of her head and screaming, Saki took the opportunity to poke Nia's thigh.

Soft thighs. She is a beautiful girl after all. Her chest is a little flat, but in terms of legs, Nia is as good as Yan Guang.

Full score!

Then, Saki poked his own iron hoof again, looking at the skin that looked ordinary and had a slight dent even without being touched with a finger, and fell into deep thought.

After all, these are a pair of thighs that have been trained to the point where they can run 90 kilometers over mountains and across hills in a few minutes. Even if the spiritual power accounts for 99% of the credit, Saki's basic physical fitness has also risen to a level that she once dared not dream of. In terms of comfort, it can never be compared with the beautiful girl Blade, whose body will not change no matter how she trains.

It's sad. It's rare that he wants to give Nia some benefits and pet the cat at the same time.

While Saki was sighing with disappointment, Nia had already recovered. She covered the back of her head and stared at Saki for a while, pursed her lips, untied her two long braids, folded her silver hair slightly, and then fell on someone's lap.

"...Alas?"

"That'll be fine...right?"

The girl, holding up her fluffy long hair, turned her head to avoid Saki's sight and muttered softly:

"Besides, why would the teacher do this kind of thing..."

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

Saki chuckled, reached out his hand and skillfully began to play with Nia's furry ears, stroking the girl's head from time to time, with a hint of comfort in his voice.

"Don't look at me like this, I still like to take care of people~"

"It should be taking care of 'children', right?"

Nia said that she had long seen through the system installed by this teacher.

"A little thinner, a cute, obedient and sensible child."

Nia: "...Too realistic."

After saying that, she arched her head and adjusted the position of her head. Although the knee pillow was still unreasonably hard, she seemed to be able to lie down for a while longer... unexpectedly.

But later it is necessary to let someone know what a real knee pillow is!

In the spring breeze that for some reason gradually became a little warmer, Nia slowly closed her eyes. Saki also stopped teasing the ears and looked at the ball of blazing white light that was thrown in front of him, his eyes becoming increasingly dazed.

Sleepy...

"Once the light is back, go back to the alternate dimension and catch up on some sleep."

Saki thought so.

Volume 498 starts! Tianshen Primary School: Chapter Chapter Lex's Journey Qianliyan's Worry

“This world is too big!”

This is the normal feeling a normal creature from the netherworld would have after arriving in an equally normal other world.

How vast!

Running in a straight line for more than 90 kilometers in any direction, you can still see endless mountains and rivers within your sight. Even if you cross the mountains and rivers, you can only see plains that are vaster than the mountains.

Even if you stand on the top of the tallest building of this monastery located at the highest point on the continent and look into the distance, all you can see are the things mentioned above.

How vast!

Even if we spread out and add up the movable areas folded up inside Arus, including Invidialie, Losuria, and the island groups, it would probably be less than one-tenth of this continent, right?

Apart from anything else, the population living in the plains in the center of the mountain range where this large monastery is located alone exceeds the total population of the Netherworld.
