Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"Shirasu Azusa, is there something on my face?"

"...No, the teacher's face is in perfect condition."

Seeing Bai Zhouzi retract his gaze and look at the paper in front of them again, Lin En couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

Although Lin En had anticipated that there might be a situation where students he didn't know would pay strange attention to him, when he actually encountered this situation, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After all, I can't just ask the other person directly, right?

"Baizhou Zitong..."

"Just call me Azusa."

Just when Lin En was considering how to start his speech, he was interrupted by Bai Zhouzi's somewhat abrupt words.

"...?"

Facing Lin En's slightly puzzled look, Bai Zhouzi's face turned slightly red, but he still looked at him very seriously and repeated what he had just said.

"Just call me Azusa."

"Uh... okay, I understand, Bai... ahem, Zi."

Hearing that Lin En had changed the way he addressed him, Bai Zhouzi nodded slightly and continued to look at the questions on the paper.

"Teacher, could you please tell me again how to solve this kind of problem?"

Hearing this, although Lin En didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he still explained to her the method and ideas of solving the problem from the beginning.

But this time, Baizhou Zi did not look at his face as before, but listened to his narration carefully.

"I see... I now completely understand."

Seeing Bai Zhouzi start to solve the other questions at the end, Lin En put away his pen.

It was only then that he noticed Hifumi who was also looking at him.

However, compared to Shirasu Azusa's eager gaze, Hifumi's gaze should be more accurately described as "observation."

"What's wrong, Hifumi?"

Looking at Lin En who came to her table, Hifumi showed a slightly relieved expression.

"I was just thinking... Hanako-chan looks experienced, and Azusa-chan seems enthusiastic, and Koharu-chan seems confident... It looks like maybe we only need one exam to get everyone passing!"

Having said that, Hifumi first glanced at the other three people calmly, and after realizing that their attention was not here, she lowered her voice and continued to speak to Lin En.

"In fact, Lord Nagisa has issued an order. If there are students who fail in our first exam, we will have to do remedial training from the next exam... In other words, we won't be able to go out freely like we did in school..."

Hearing this, Lin En immediately understood something and nodded.

"Well... that is indeed a very serious matter... especially for you, Hifumi."

"Yes... I might miss out on the limited edition merchandise from Master Pelolo..."

After saying this, Hifumi sighed, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she muttered to herself with a hint of confusion.

"But... from the conversation between Hanako-chan and Azusa-chan just now, she should be a very knowledgeable person who is also willing to help other students. But such a person... why would she fail to meet the requirements?"

Hearing Hifumi's words, Lin En couldn't help but frown slightly as something quickly flashed through his mind.

But soon, his expression returned to his normal state, and he said to Hifumi with a smile.

"…Maybe it's because something unexpected happened, just like you, Hifumi."

"Ah... that time was really just an accident!"

Seeing Hifumi looking a little angry because she was not convinced, Lin En smiled and rubbed her head.

"Okay, Hifumi, is there anything you don't understand? I can help you with that, too."

"Well... Can you explain this to me, teacher?"

"No problem at all."

After explaining the questions to Hifumi, the bell rang, indicating the end of today's tutoring.

Although today was the first day of tutoring for these students, Lin En was quite satisfied with the results and the atmosphere. At least from their performance, they should all be thinking about passing the exam.

"goodbye teacher."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After waving goodbye to the people from the cram school, Lin En stretched and prepared to go back to Xialai first.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Hoohoo... Looks like the teacher and I are the only ones left here..."

The girl's warm breath blew gently against his ears, causing Lin En to stand there in a daze for a moment.

Seeing this, Hanako, who was standing behind Lin En, couldn't help but chuckle.

But just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly felt a hand gently on her shoulder.

"Could it be... Hanako-san is expecting something?"

At the same time, what came to Jihanako's earlobe was not only the whispering voice, but also the hot breath of a man.

Faced with this sudden attack, Hanako couldn't help but blush.

"Kufufu... I just wanted to play a joke on the teacher."

After turning around lightly and escaping from the palm, Hanako looked at Lin En with a slightly red face, who still had his arm around her shoulder.

Although her face showed the shyness of a woman, she was actually somewhat incredibly surprised inside.

Because she almost didn't notice that Lin En, who was standing in front of her just now, came behind her and even put his hand on her shoulder.

"I don't mind... but it's getting late. Isn't it time for Hanako-san to go home and rest?"

Seeing Hanako's reaction, Lynn just chuckled and said so.

"Yeah...that's true. Well then, Teacher Lin, see you tomorrow."

After bowing slightly to Lin En, Hanako turned and left.

"……Ugh."

Looking at the girl's receding back, Lin En sighed helplessly and uttered words that he had repeated for who knows how many times.

"It really is a very, very troublesome matter..."

Chapter 14 Angel Number 1 of the Holy Trinity

"What a peaceful day."

Lin En sighed as he came out of Xialai, and stretched lazily towards the bright sun.

After working overtime last night to handle work matters, Lin En remembered something and asked Alona to help him look up some things. Although the final results confirmed his guess, the price was that the time for sleeping and rest was gone.

Although there were no other plans during the day until the tutoring session began, after seeing the bright sun shining outside, Lin En temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going back to his room to catch up on his sleep and decided to go out for a walk.

Although he came out for a walk, when he came to his senses, he had subconsciously stepped into the Holy Trinity.

"…Forget it, let's just treat it as sightseeing in Trinity."

Lynn yawned again and said this to himself.

"And maybe we can find a good place here to catch up on some sleep."

After making up his mind, Lynn came to the park in the autonomous region of Trinity College.

There are many lush trees planted on both sides of the road in the park. The perfect breeze and fresh air blowing on Lin En's face made him feel refreshed, and his depressed mood after staying up all night also eased.

However, the somewhat dry air also made his throat feel a little dry.

"...Go buy a drink."

Just as Lynn was looking around for a vending machine, a strange voice sounded from behind him.

"Ah, Teacher Lin En! Good morning! I didn't expect to see you here."

When Lin En looked in the direction of the voice, he discovered that the other person was a student he had never met before.

"Is Teacher Lin En out here to relax? But the morning air does make people feel more cheerful."

The girl, who was wearing a white uniform and a nurse's cap with a cross on it, smiled and nodded at Lin En. Then, as if she had finally realized something, she quickly bowed slightly to him.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Washimi Qinna from the Holy Trinity Academy Rescue Knights. You can just call me Qinna."

After hearing the girl's words, Lin En was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

“I feel like I don’t even need to introduce myself.”

"Well, a teacher is a teacher after all."

Faced with Qinna's matter-of-fact look, Lin En was a little amused and helpless for a moment.

After all, he didn't know what image he played in the game made by a certain game department at that time, and he still couldn't figure out how he became so famous.

"But... it's probably not time for work or class yet, right? What is Serina doing here?"

"Are you asking me what I'm doing here? Ah, I'm just..."

Before Serena could finish her answer, several children came up to her.

"Thank you, big sister!"

After responding to the children's thanks one by one, Serena looked at Lynn and smiled shyly.

"Ahaha... It's not a big deal. I just saw that these kids seemed to be in trouble, so I helped them..."

Before Qinna could finish her words, one of the children came up to Lin En and spoke to him seriously.

"Big sister helped me find the balloon hanging on the tree!"

Then, another child who came close to him took over the conversation as if unwilling to be outdone.

"I was accidentally injured while playing football just now, and my sister helped me treat it!"

Afterwards, the other children also narrated their experiences to Lin En. Although their experiences were different, they all had one thing in common, that is, they all received help from Qinna.

"Hmm... I feel a little embarrassed to be pointed out to my face like this, but it's really no big deal..."

Facing the gaze from Lin En who had just finished listening to her story, Qinna's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Anyone else would do the same thing. Besides, I'm also a member of the Knights of Rescue. Besides..."

After hesitating for a moment, Serena continued speaking a little embarrassedly.

“When I see people who are having difficulties smile happily, my mood also becomes better!”

Looking at the cute girl who smiled at him, perhaps because his mind was affected by staying up all night, Lin En subconsciously came to her, reached out his hand with a look of relief, and gently touched the other's head.

"what……"

Qinna was stunned at first by Lin En's abrupt behavior, but she did not resist or raise any objections. Instead, she looked a little shy, like a sister who finally got close to her brother and couldn't help but feel happy.

After gently touching Qina's pink hair, which felt very nice, for a while, Lin En finally realized what he had done and quickly withdrew his hand with an embarrassed smile.

"Um... sorry?"

In response to Lin En's apology, Qinna did not show any disgust, but smiled and shook her head as if she didn't care.

But the next moment, she looked at Lin En with a serious expression.

"Teacher, I always feel that you look very tired. Could it be that you didn't get enough rest last night?"

Lin En was speechless for a moment as he had never expected that Qinna would suddenly ask him such a question. But he soon came to his senses, waved his hand and smiled at the girl.

"It's okay. I'm used to it. It's no big deal."

"No big deal?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Lin En said, Qinna, who originally looked a little weak, suddenly revealed a sense of inexplicable oppression.

"That's not okay! It's absolutely not okay!"

As she said this, Sena declared to Lin with a serious look on her face.

"I know very well that the teacher often works until very late at Xialai. Although she is a good cook, she can only eat instant noodles because of time constraints, and she also adds an egg to it to maintain a balanced nutrition..."

If Lin En didn't notice anything wrong with the previous words, then the following words made him sweat profusely.
