Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"This...I..."

Seeing that Xiaochun still seemed a little bit unconvinced, Lin En could only show her the page in the roster in his hand that contained Xiaochun's name.

"Goooo... Hard, unbelievable..."

Seeing Xiaochun's dejected look, Lin En shook his head helplessly, then looked at Lian Jian.

"Then I'll take them away."

"Well, thank you for your help, teacher."

Unexpectedly, when Hanako, who was smiling, Koharu, who looked disappointed, and Hifumi, who was smiling bitterly, followed Lin En and left, Mashiro and Hasumi had no time to say anything. Shirasu Azusa, who was wearing a gas mask, followed them silently.

"That's strange... Was she ever so... obedient before?"

As Mashiro muttered to herself with a look of surprise on her face, Hasumi finally remembered something and raised her hand to look at the handkerchief that should belong to Lin En.

Just as she was about to call out to Lin En, she stopped.

"As for the handkerchief...it's better to wash it before returning it, right, Vice Minister?"

Listening to Mashiro's words, who seemed to have understood his intention, Hasumi smiled and nodded.

"Well, you're right."

Nan Yu has not been feeling well these days, so I have to ask all the readers for a two to three-day leave, and I also have to take a leave from work to go to the hospital. I hope you can understand qaq...

Perfect attendance... My perfect attendance... is gone again...

Chapter 12 is finally on track... maybe?

"In this way, we have finally gathered all the members of the cram school..."

Listening to the sigh of Hifumi who was sitting diagonally in front of him, Lin En nodded helplessly, then looked at Koharu who seemed a little at a loss because of nervousness, then looked at Hanako who had changed her swimsuit back into the Trinity uniform and was looking at him with a smile, and finally looked at Shirasu Azusa who still had the gas mask on her face.

"Um... Mr. Baizhouzi, I have a question to ask..."

"Teacher, please ask."

Before Lin En finished speaking, Bai Zhouzi, who had taken off the gas mask on his face, answered first.

And I don’t know if it was Lin En’s illusion, but although the girl had a blank expression on her face, there was a sense of eager anticipation in her tone.

I...shouldn't I have met her before?

After calming down, Lin En chuckled and continued to speak to the other party.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask why you are wearing a gas mask in class."

"……I see."

Hearing Lin En's answer, Bai Zhouzi nodded slightly.

In fact, perhaps no one present knew that for her, this scene should have been a tearful reunion.

However, she now had to bury everything deep in her heart, not only unable to express it, but even unable to show it.

From the moment he accepted that task, Bai Zhouzi is no longer the same Bai Zhouzi as before.

Thinking of this, the girl's eyes were slightly lost. But then, she felt a hand pressing on her hair.

Seeing Lin En touching his head, Bai Zhouzi took a while to react and raised his head to look at him.

"Teacher...what's wrong?"

"I just feel that... Mr. Baizhouzi seems a little different now."

Lin En looked at Bai Zhouzi with a smile and blinked slightly.

"When I heard about your 'glorious deeds' from Hasumi-san and 'bailed' you out from her hands, I was actually a little worried that you might be a very difficult person to get along with."

"...Maybe I am such a person."

Facing the girl who spoke with a calm expression as if it had nothing to do with her, Lin En gently shook his head.

"You are just still hesitating and haven't found 'yourself' yet."

"..."

However, in response to Lin En's words, Bai Zhouzi just lowered his head slightly and did not say anything.

Seeing this, Lin En did not say anything more. Then, under the different looks from the other three people, he withdrew his hand that was gently pressing on the girl's head and returned to the podium.

"Well, since everyone knows each other, it will save a lot of effort. As for me... although you all seem to know me from some strange places, I will still introduce myself again. I am Lin En, a teacher from Xialai."

After writing his name on the whiteboard with a marker, Lynn turned around and looked at the four students who were staring at him.

"From now on, in order to prevent you from being expelled and for your future, I will do my best to help you improve your grades. Therefore, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, and I will do my best to explain it to you in detail."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhouzi, who was sitting by the window, nodded seriously.

"Instructions received!"

In response to Lin En's words, Hifumi smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I really hope that everyone can get through this together..."

However, unlike the other two, Hanako showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Although I've heard that the teacher is very capable in combat and command, but I've never heard of his teaching ability?"

Hearing this, Lin En shrugged helplessly.

"To be honest, although I am everyone's teacher, it is my first time to teach in such a spacious and bright classroom without being disturbed."

"……oh?"

Hearing what Lin En said, Hanako raised her eyebrows slightly as if she had caught some message from it.

In response, Lynn continued to speak with a smile, as if he hadn't noticed at all.

"However, I am still very confident in my teaching ability. After all, I am a teacher."

“Hmm… I see…”

Hearing this, Hanako, who had been talking to herself, showed a thoughtful expression on her face.

But before they could say anything else, a very serious and even solemn voice rang out.

"I understand. I will seriously follow the teacher's instructions."

Lin En looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Shirasu Azusa who was sitting upright in his seat and speaking in a serious tone.

"Uh... Shirasu Azusa-san, I actually don't like the word 'obey'."

After trying several times and failing to find the right gesture, Lin En had no choice but to put his hands on the podium.

"Although I am your teacher, I am not your ruler. What I am doing now is just to do my best to remove some obstacles for your future, rather than asking you to obey me. Your future should be created by you, not arranged by me."

"Our...future..."

In response to Lin En's words, Bai Zhouzi lowered his head slightly.

"Yes, your bright future."

Looking at Baizhou Zi's appearance, Lin En couldn't help but think of several girls in his mind.

“Perhaps you will feel lost, scared, or even empty because of the unknown future… But I hope you will not forget, Dum spiro, spero, as long as you are alive, there is hope.”

"As long as you are alive...there is hope..."

While Shirasu Azusa was chewing on Lin En's words, Hanako asked again in surprise.

"Eh? So the teacher actually knows ancient characters?"

"Well, I learned a little bit before for some reason."

After Lin En answered Hanako, Shirasu Azusa seemed to finally come back to his senses and nodded at him seriously.

"Although what you said has yet to be verified, but... I am very grateful, Teacher Lin En."

Just then, a somewhat abrupt voice sounded.

"Things... let's talk about it in advance!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Xiaochun with slightly red cheeks.

"The reason I came back here is only because I passed the grade-skipping exam! If it weren't for the teacher, I wouldn't want to stay with you guys! I'm sure I can leave after taking the make-up exam once!"

"But... it won't work if only one person passes..."

But facing Hifumi's explanation, Koharu spoke out with some impatience and embarrassment.

“Well… that kind of thing doesn’t matter! As an elite member of the Justice Committee, there is no way I can stay here forever!”

However, looking at Koharu like this, Hanako seemed to remember something and whispered in her ear.

"But if I leave here, I won't be able to get up with the teacher every day, okay?"

"this--"

Although Lin En couldn't hear clearly what Hanako said to Koharu, judging from the way Koharu seemed to be hesitant to speak, this makeshift cram school should finally be able to get on the right track... right?

"Ah...it really is a very, very troublesome matter..."

Chapter 13 It is indeed a very troublesome matter

"Hanako, how do you solve this problem?"

As Baizhou Zi was speaking, the rustling sound of the pen writing on the paper suddenly stopped.

"Hmm... let me see..."

Hanako said this as she moved closer to Shirasu Azusa's desk and looked carefully at the question she was pointing to.

"Ah, this problem has to do with factoring. It can be solved quickly by using common factors or the matching method."

"Is that so... But it still seems a little hard to understand..."

Seeing that Baizhou Zi was still frowning slightly, Lin En smiled and came over to the two of them.

"If the problem is a factor that looks a bit complicated but has a certain pattern, you can be a little lazy and use the substitution method to quickly solve it."

As he said this, Lin En pulled out the pen he carried with him and began to calculate on the draft paper.

Seeing this, Hanako returned to her seat. But then she noticed Koharu looking over here.

Hanako, who saw something in Koharu's eyes, chuckled, leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Haru-chan, if you keep being so dishonest, you might not be able to get the teacher's kind guidance until the end, okay?"

“Woo… guuuu…”

Although Koharu was startled by Hanako's sudden voice, she reacted quickly and looked conflicted.

But even so, Koharu still spoke to Hanako stubbornly.

“Nah…Nah! That kind of thing will never happen!”

Although the voices of Hanako and Koharu talking were not particularly loud, Lin En would definitely be able to hear it if it were a normal person.

But unfortunately, Lin En's attention was now drawn away by something else——

"Um... Shirasu Azusa-san?"

After stopping writing for the third time, Lin En, who was sitting next to the girl, looked at her helplessly.

At the beginning, the girl was indeed listening to his explanation very carefully - at least it seemed so. However, before Lin En finished explaining the solution, he could feel the girl's eyes moving away from his pen.

The reason why he was able to perceive this was not because of his sharp senses, but because...
