Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Seeing that the atmosphere between the few people seemed a little strange, Lin En quickly coughed lightly.

"Ahem, I will definitely visit your academy later, but our top priority right now is to take back Xialai's office so that Kivotos can return to its previous stability, right?"

"Don't worry, teacher. I'm very sensible and will never get into an argument about something strange."

Hearing Yuuka's suggestive words, Renjian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right. As the acting tactical commander of the Justice Realization Committee, I will naturally not make any rash moves."

Seeing the tension between the two once again, Chinatsu and Reimi, who had hardly spoken to each other, sighed at the same time.

Seeing this, Lin En could only continue to persuade with a wry smile.

"Okay, we're almost at the Xialai Office Building, let's finish the task in one go, everyone!"

Seeing that Yuuka and Hasumi finally seemed to have given up arguing, Lin En felt a little relieved.

He was clearly no longer in Gehenna, so why did he feel like he was still there?

--------

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lin En not only has such amazing fighting ability, but also has excellent command and decision-making abilities."

After several battles, Yuuka couldn't help but sigh when she arrived in front of Xia Lai's office building.

"Yes, I never thought that one day I would be able to learn a new use of flash bombs from others."

In response to Yuuka's words, Morizuki Reimi also answered seriously.

"Before this, I never thought that I could use the elasticity of the flashbang to blind the enemy behind multiple bunkers."

Hearing Lingmei say this, Lin En scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly.

"…it's just simple geometry."

"Rin just sent a message saying that the Valkyrie Police School is now free to deal with the remaining bad students around Xia Lai's office building, and she will come as soon as possible."

Hearing what Chinatsu, who had been in contact with Shichika Rin, said, Lin En chuckled and nodded to the others.

"Everyone has worked hard. But before Rin-san arrives, I'll go in and check on the situation first."

Hearing this, Lian Jian pulled the bolt of the gun and answered Lin En seriously.

"Please rest assured that we will not let any unknown persons in."

Although the other three did not say anything, their actions had already told Lin En the answer.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Of course, if anything unexpected happens, I will shout for help."

Hearing Lin En's slightly teasing words, Yuka couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will rush to the teacher's side immediately."

"No, I must have been the one who got to the teacher faster."

Seeing that Yuuka and Renjian seemed to be fighting again for some reason, Lin En, who believed in "letting go of the complex of helping others and respecting the fate of others", quickly slipped into the Xialai office building.

After watching Lin En's back disappear into the building, Lingmei ignored the two people who were fighting and looked at Chinatsu.

"Chinatsu-san, Mr. Lin is really an interesting adult."

"Is it interesting...?"

After hearing Lingmei's words, Chinatsu seemed to remember something and sighed a little tiredly.

"Indeed, to some extent, Mr. Lin En is indeed a very interesting person. But... he is also an adult who is a little difficult to describe..."

"?"

--------

"I remember Rin mentioned the basement... Let me see..."

After confirming that the building had not yet restored its power supply, Lynn took a look at the floor plan posted next to the elevator and walked towards the stairs.

"It seems this is the basement she mentioned. Let's get rid of it quickly... eh?"

When Lin En arrived at the door of the basement and was about to push it open and go in to finish the job quickly, he found that the door seemed to be locked.

No, to be precise, it was stuck, or blocked.

"It's strange. The facilities in this building look so new, and no one has been here before. How could this happen?"

Lin En muttered to himself without giving it much thought. He simply pulled out Murasame, chopped open the basement door, and walked in.

However, at this moment, Lin En felt something and couldn't help but look in one direction in the basement.

In the direction he was looking, there stood a girl wearing a fox mask and a printed kimono.

At the same time, the girl also looked at him.

Chapter 26 Do I look scary?

"Um……"

When Lin En noticed that the girl in front of him with a fox mask was looking at him, he couldn't help but blink.

According to the photos Momoka sent to her and the description of Shichigami Rin, Xia Lai should be surrounded by bad students. Judging from the firepower of those bad students outside, it is almost impossible for a single person to break through head-on.

In other words, the student in front of him might have used some way or some means to bypass the blockade of those bad students outside and hid in this place.

It seems that the reason why the door to the basement was blocked from the inside was probably because she was worried that the bad students outside would come in and find her.

As for the possibility that the other party was the leader of those bad students, Lin En didn't even think in that direction.

You know, even someone as strong as Hina usually has subordinates accompanying him when he goes out. After all, how could a leader hide alone in such a dark and deserted place?

Thinking of this, Lynn put the samurai sword back into the sheath and adjusted his glasses, then greeted the other party with a smile.

"Yeah, hello."

“…Huh?”

After hearing Lynn's greeting, the girl made a puzzled sound from her throat and froze in place as if the pause button was pressed.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Lin En, who had misunderstood something, quickly took his hands off the samurai sword and spread his hands towards the other party.

"I'm the instructor of the supply department of Gehenna College. You can call me Lynn. May I ask if you are in any trouble? Could you tell me about your troubles? I will do my best to help you."

"lose……"

As if awakened by Lin En's words, the girl trembled slightly, and then subconsciously took a step back.

Finally, he shouted out loud under Lynn's shocked gaze.

“Excuse me…excuse me…excuse me!!!”

Leaving the dumbfounded Lin En behind, the girl who inexplicably apologized to him fled out of the room at an unusual speed.

"Wait a minute! It's... dangerous... outside..."

Although Yuka and others are defending outside Xia Lai now, there is no guarantee that they will treat this girl as an enemy.

Although Lin En wanted to remind her, judging from the speed at which she ran away, she probably didn't hear what he said at all.

"It seems like he is a student with a strong personality. It's a pity that I didn't get to talk to him for a while."

What puzzled Lin En even more was the reason why the girl ran away.

"... Could it be that I actually look very scary?"

Thinking of this, Lin En took out his mobile phone, turned on the front camera, and touched his face.

Although he knew that his face was not handsome, it was angular. Although he looked a little sloppy, the glasses on his nose covered it up well, making him look more like a "teacher".

However, no matter how he judged himself now, it could not change the fact that the girl ran away almost the moment she saw him.

"Ugh……"

When Lin En put away his phone and sighed helplessly, Lin appeared at the door of the basement.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

After Lin greeted Lin En, he seemed to see something from Lin En's expression and asked with a little curiosity:

"Teacher Lin En...what happened just now?"

Hearing Lin's question, Lin En hesitated for a moment and then looked at the other party.

"Rin-san..."

"Ok?"

"Do I...look scary?"

It seemed that she had never expected Lin En to ask such a question. Qi Shenlin was stunned for a moment. Although she wanted to say something else, after seeing Lin En's serious expression, she answered truthfully.

"I don't think your face is scary."

"I see... I feel relieved now that Rin said that..."

"……Yeah?"

Although he was somewhat puzzled by Lin En's appearance, Qi Shen Lin did not think much about it. After all, there were more important things to do now.

After searching through the nearby sundries for a while, Rin quickly found what she was looking for.

"Fortunately, this thing is not damaged at all."

As he said this, Qi Shenlin handed the thing in his hand to Lin En.

“Teacher Lin En, this is what the Federation Student Union President stored here.”

Although Qi Shenlin said so, Lin En still frowned slightly suspiciously after seeing the item in her hand that could be said to be found everywhere in Kivotos.

"Is this... a tablet terminal?"

"Yes, this is what the Federation Student Council President left behind, the [Shiting Box]."

When Lin heard this word coming out of Lin's mouth, he had a strange intuition -

He knows this thing.

No, to be more precise, he knew the essence of this thing.

However, he just couldn't think of such an extremely important thing.

Lin En sighed helplessly and stopped thinking about these things. He took the tablet from Lin's hand.

“Although it looks like an ordinary tablet, it is actually something unrecognizable. The manufacturing company, operating system, system structure, and operating mechanism are all completely unknown.”

Rin said this, adjusting his glasses and gave a wry smile.

"But the student council president once said that this Shiting Box belongs to the teacher. If that's the case, if it's the teacher, he should be able to use it to regain control of the Sacred Tower. After all, we can't even activate it."

Seeing Lin En frowning slightly and staring at the tablet in his hand, Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she still had some doubts about Lin En's identity, she now chose to believe him.

"Well, my duty is done. From now on, everything will be handed over to you, teacher. In order not to disturb you, I will go back to the Federation Student Union. If you encounter anything that needs help, you can contact me directly."

However, just when Qi Shenlin was about to leave, Lin En suddenly reached out and touched her head with a smile.

"...?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Rin. It must have been very hard for you while the student council president was away."

Although he didn't know much about the structure and details of the Federal Student Union, as long as he substituted it into the Gehenna Discipline Committee, he could roughly understand the situation that Lin was facing now.

If Hina suddenly disappeared, I'm afraid that Ako, Iori, and Chinatsu would all be overwhelmed by the countless tasks in an instant.

"Thanks a lot."

“…It’s just my duty.”

Faced with Lin En's heartfelt words, Lin's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Ah."

However, what puzzled Lin En as he watched Lin leave was that for some reason, Lin left the room as quickly as the girl he had just met, as if she was running away.
