Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

However, because there was not enough light in the tunnel and Lin En was standing at a high place, she could only see Lin En's general outline and the "halo" above his head, but could not see his appearance at all.

But just as Saori was thinking about how to start the conversation, she found that the other party took a step forward.

"Can I ask...how did you find me?"

"One question per person."

Faced with the conditions proposed by Saori, Lin En was stunned at first, and then nodded slightly as if he understood something.

"can."

After hearing Lin En's answer, Saori also nodded.

Then, under Lynn's curious gaze, she pointed to the instrument in the hands of the student next to her.

"Although you hid very well, our thermal detectors still found your location. It's that simple."

"..."

Faced with Saori's answer, Lin En was a little amused and helpless for a moment.

Perhaps this is the power of high technology.

But then again, isn't what you're wearing enough to reflect that?

"…How about we ask Xiang and the others to see if they can find a way to solve this problem after we get back?"

Just as Lin En was complaining in his heart, Saori's voice once again reached his ears.

"Now it's my turn... How did you get in here without getting around the traps outside?"

"It's simple, because I avoided it when I came in, and... cut off the traps."

After Lin En deliberately answered with such a meaningful description, he saw Saori's movements pause visibly.

Because of the mask, Lin En could only see Saori's eyes. But even so, he could still read some doubt, confusion and subtle shock in her eyes.

Just at this moment, Lin En, who was about to ask the next question, finally seemed to remember something and knocked his head.

Then, under the slightly puzzled gazes of Saori, Makoto and others, Lin En smiled and made mouth shapes.

Although Lin En didn't say anything, they could still make out what he said by the dim light next to them.

"……three?"

Makoto repeated what Lynn wanted to say in confusion.

“…Is it possible?!”

Unlike Makoto, who was confused and hadn't reacted yet, Saori subconsciously raised her rifle towards Lin. At the same time, the students around her also raised their guns in unison.

"Are your reinforcements arriving soon?"

However, facing the guns of Saori and her subordinates, Lin En just smiled and made a second mouth shape.

"……two?"

Saori, repeating Lin's words in her mind, involuntarily put her index finger on the trigger, but then subconsciously released it.

She absolutely did not believe that the guy in front of her who had such a skill to sneak in here was the same idiot as the speaker next to her. Since the other party could be so calm in the face of her and others' guns, he must have prepared a corresponding back-up plan.

Even if you think of it in the worst possible way, this might actually be a trap!

Just as Saori was feeling conflicted, Lin En's countdown reached the last number.

"one……"

It was only at this moment that Saori finally understood something and her eyes widened involuntarily.

However, she was too late to react to it.

At the moment when the number "zero" was about to be reached, Lin En's body seemed to be suddenly pushed away by an invisible existence, and he fell to the side in a somewhat funny posture.

"boom!"

Almost at the moment when his body tilted aside, a deafening gunshot rang out from the darkness throughout the entire tunnel!

Under everyone's surprised gaze, this long-awaited sniper bullet was shot right at the position where Lin En had just stood, and was just avoided by Lin En who had made a strange posture in advance!

In an instant, not to mention Saori, even Makoto, who had the least intelligent IQ among the people present, couldn't help but change his expression.

The guy they are facing now... is he actually someone who can predict a sniper attack from the dark in advance?

Chapter 6 "Will It Be You?"

However, what Saori and Makoto didn't know was that Lin En was actually sweating profusely at this time.

It seems that using this method to create a sense of mystery for myself is a bit too forced.

Of course, Lin En was not really so predictable. The reason he was able to make such a "reaction" was largely because the sniper who just fired at him was an acquaintance of his.

"Fortunately, the sniper is still you...Hiyori."

Lin En muttered this to himself, and after he had stood firm, he adjusted his monocle with an attempt to remain calm.

In fact, when Saori asked him "one question per person", the thermal energy detector hidden in his top hat also told him through the lens that someone emerged silently from the darkness and was still hiding in the darkness.

Judging from the opponent's posture and movements, there is more than a 90% chance that he is a sniper.

Just when Lin En was thinking about whether to hide, he found that the other party's posture of holding up the sniper rifle was very familiar -

Because most snipers would choose to adapt to local conditions, that is, to find the best sniping position according to the terrain. But from the actions of this sniper, she put something on her back in front of her and used it as a support and cover.

If it was just a coincidence, Lin En would never take such a big risk. What really allowed him to confirm the identity of the sniper was the opponent's sniper rifle, which was taken out from the thing she had just placed in front of him.

After seeing this scene, Lin En was sure that the sniper was one of his former students, Tsuchinaga Rihe.

And the reason why he was able to predict the timing when Hiyori would fire at him was because the girl had a habit -

After she prepares to snipe and starts holding her breath, she will definitely open fire at the third second.

As for the reason, it was very simple, because this was what Lin En taught her. At that time, he once told Rihe that after holding his breath and aiming, it would usually take until the third second to reach the best state for the sniper, and that was also the best time to open fire.

Although he said so, Lin En did not expect that the little girl would actually take this advice as an iron rule.

Just as Lynn was thinking about what to do next, the sound of breaking wind reached his ears.

The moment he dodged the sniper bullet and stood still, Saori's figure suddenly disappeared and rushed in front of Lin En.

"Hey, isn't it a bit rude of you to not even say hello?"

As he complained like this, Saori's gloved straight fist was already coming straight towards his face.

However, although Saori's attack was swift, it posed no threat to Lin En.

He just moved his feet slightly on the ground, and then quickly dodged to the side, allowing the murderous fist to fall completely into empty space and brush past his cheek.

"laugh--"

Even though the attack missed, the sharp force of the fist still made Lynn's cheek feel hot.

But at the same time, his right hand had been raised up without anyone noticing, and it suddenly hit Saori's elbow.

Saori let out a light snort, and her tightly clenched fist instantly spread out beside Lin En's cheek.

However, Lin En did not relax at all. Instead, he took a few steps back and "just happened to" avoid Saori's knee attack that followed.

Ignoring Saori's slightly surprised expression, Lin En chose to take a step forward and then chopped the wrist of her fist that was swinging towards him with a knife.

Although Lin En is not as strong as Saori, he can still get around by using this trick.

With a muffled sound, Saori, whose attack was instantly broken, took two steps back, holding her wrist in pain.

She was becoming increasingly confused about who this person was who suddenly appeared in front of them.

No matter it was dodging the sudden strafing that she commanded at the beginning, or avoiding Hiyori's sniper, to the close combat now, she felt as if everything about her was seen through by the man in strange clothes in front of her.

This feeling is like...

"Tsk!"

After forcibly suppressing the memories that resurfaced in her mind, Saori reached out without any hesitation, picked up the automatic rifle hanging at her side, and pulled the trigger at Lynn.

"Oh, this is very dangerous."

Faced with Saori's completely expected action, Lin En had already rushed in front of her. He raised his hand to knock away the gun muzzle without panic, while his other hand clenched into a straight fist and rushed straight towards her face.

However, just as Lin En's fist was about to hit Saori's mask covering her nose and the lower half of her cheek, he hesitated for a moment and changed his fist into a palm, hitting her chest below her neck hard.

"Cough cough cough-"

After taking a few steps back and adjusting her breathing, Saori looked up at Lin En again. Although the hostility in her eyes had not diminished much, there was a bit more doubt and confusion.

Before Saori could ask anything, more students wearing gas masks rushed out from the passage behind the iron gate where she had just appeared. They were holding a variety of weapons, including automatic rifles and even grenade launchers.

Not only that, there were two girls among these students who were obviously unusual at first glance - one of them wore a mask and carried a rocket launcher on her shoulder; the other not only wore a mask, but also covered her face with a hood.

"Misaki... and Atsuko..."

When Lin En silently recited their names, they also saw Lin En.

However, when they looked at Lin En, they seemed to pause involuntarily because of his outfit. But after only a moment's hesitation, they raised their weapons and pointed them at him.

However, facing this situation of being "criticized by thousands of people", Lin En did not panic at all. Instead, he raised his index finger and said with a chuckle.

"I didn't expect that my impulsive action would lead me to accidentally fall into a shocking situation... Gehenna wants to join forces with Arius to destroy the Holy Trinity, right?"

Until this moment, Makoto seemed to have finally reacted and sneered.

"That's right...the guys from Holy Trinity should have disappeared from Kivotos long ago! And you are destined to die here!"

Completely ignoring Makoto who was throwing harsh words at him, Lynn looked at the three girls he was familiar with, and after glancing at Hiyori who was trembling because of his gaze, he chuckled and bowed to them.

“In scaena s alto (I will dance on this stage).”

When they looked shocked by this sentence, Lynn had already thrown several smoke bombs and grenades.

"Eh?"

While Makoto was stunned by Lin's completely unexpected behavior, Saori, who reacted the fastest, rushed back to Atsuko and protected her behind her.

"Oh no! Princess, be careful!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Under the cover of a series of explosions and the accompanying smoke, Lynn escaped from the place effortlessly.

And when the dust settled, Saori and the others naturally could no longer see Lin En at all.

"Damn it... Such an important thing was leaked! Hurry up and chase him! Maybe we can still catch up with that guy!"

Completely ignoring the stunned Makoto beside her, Saori frowned somewhat unhappily after giving orders to her subordinates.

Looking back now, from his unexpected appearance at the beginning to the words he left at the end, this man, whose dress, words and deeds were all very strange, not only gave her the same strange feeling, but also unexpectedly gave her an indescribable feeling.

It felt like... they seemed to have met somewhere before.

"...No, if I really encountered such a weird thing, I would definitely not forget it."

After muttering to herself in this tone, Saori looked at Atsuko behind her as if she sensed something.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"..."

Hearing Saori's slightly concerned question, Atsuko hesitated for a moment and then shook her head gently.

But what Saori didn't notice was that when she turned her head and looked around again, Atsuko was looking in the direction where Lin En left.

At the same time, a murmur that even she herself could hardly detect came from under her mask.

“…Could it be you?”

Chapter 7 Isn’t it enough to just be yourself?

"...So do you understand, teacher? Although Alona is very versatile, she is not omnipotent! If you fail to dodge that sniper bullet, Alona will disappear with you!"

Faced with Alona's scolding, Lin En, who returned to Xialai and changed his clothes, couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.
