Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

After the two smiled at each other, Lynn smiled and looked at them again.

"So... are you all willing to work with Azusa to protect that, although a little suspicious, but actually very cute in some ways, Nagisa-san, and... work with me to thwart Arius's plot?"

"Ahhhhh... So the teacher thinks Nagisa-san is cute?"

Looking at Hanako who was pretending to be surprised, Lynn couldn't help but chuckle.

"Although Nagisa may be a little suspicious, she is indeed very cute. And I also think that you, Hanako, Azusa, Hifumi, and Koharu are all very cute."

"Hmm... I see. Apparently, this is the harem route that has been successfully triggered after reaching the favorability condition."

"What are you talking about, Hanako! That kind of thing is definitely not allowed, right?!"

Amidst Xiaochun's usual accusations, Lin En looked at everyone in the cram school with a smile.

Looking at Lin En who was looking at them with a smile, Hanako opened her mouth slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything.

If Koharu and Hifumi were still a little confused about the situation, then she had completely understood or realized from the conversation between Lin En and Azusa Lin En's experience, which could be said to be something that could not be found in any documents.

Even though Arius was no different from a terrorist organization to the students of Trinity who now knew of their existence, Lynn would never let them "degenerate" like this.

Therefore, she also understood very well that Lin En's actions now, to a certain extent, would undoubtedly put him in opposition to the students he once wanted to "save".

But even so, he still took all the responsibility calmly.

Compared to him, I, who stopped moving forward just because of a little confusion, was really like a child.

Therefore, Hanako also understood that instead of comforting Lin En, what she should do now is to stand by his side.

"Ah... Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Zi suddenly remembered something, stood up, picked up the dress on the ground, and took out an inconspicuous-looking box from another secret pocket in her clothes.

"Sha...someone from Arius gave me this."

As Azusa said this, he opened the box amid everyone's puzzled gazes.

"... a feather?"

Looking at the feather placed in the center of the box like some kind of treasure, Hanako couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What a strange feather..."

Looking at the feather in the box, Hifumi tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"I don't know why... I feel like it's dangerous..."

Amid Xiaochun's muttering, Lin En took the box from Zi's hand and fell into deep thought.

Although this feather looks like an ordinary handicraft that can be found everywhere, to Lin En, it feels both familiar and unfamiliar, as if there is some kind of intuition that this feather is inextricably linked to him.

But what exactly was the relationship between them, Lin En didn't know and couldn't remember.

But even so, one thing he could be sure of was that this feather, like him, came from "outside the world."

Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but reach out to the feather, wanting to see what it was made of.

"Teacher! Wait——"

Seeing Lin En's actions, Zi's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly tried to speak out to stop her.

But perhaps it was because of the slowness caused by the recent emotional outburst, or because Lin En's actions were too impulsive, but Zi, whose reaction and speed were much higher than Lin En's, failed to stop him before he touched the feather.

"Oh!"

The moment Lynn's fingers touched it, a blazing red light suddenly poured out from the feather, shedding countless sacred lights, and the red gas visible to the naked eye instantly filled the entire room.

Along with the loud explosion, a violent shock wave hit the people in the cram school who were watching. The girls were completely unable to react to the unexpected things happening before their eyes and just stood there in a daze, letting the strong wind whistle past.

However, what was strange was that although many objects around them were blown to the ground or smashed against the wall by the sudden storm, their bodies did not move at all.

By the time they finally reacted, the red light that had just burst out had disappeared into the air along with the feather. At this moment, all that was left in front of them was the empty box that had fallen to the ground and Lin En who had fainted on the ground.

“Ugh!?”

"What...what is going on!?"

When Fumie and Koharu were still dumbfounded by what had just happened, Hanako was the first to react and quickly reached out to help Lin En who had fallen to the ground.

"There is no time to hesitate now! Send the teacher to the Knights Rescue!"

As Hanako finished her words, Azusa, who was the second to react, involuntarily took a step back.

"It's that thing's fault...it's my fault..."

Hearing Azusa's mumbling as she looked down at her palms and stepped back as if unable to control herself, Hifumi's thoughts were finally brought back to reality and she quickly reached out to support the staggering girl.

"Calm down, Azusa-chan! This definitely isn't Azusa-chan's fault! It definitely isn't!"

Unexpectedly, in this somewhat tense and panicked atmosphere, Koharu, who usually looked a little unreliable, reacted the same way as Hanako the first moment after she came to her senses.

"Now... now let's quickly send the teacher over to rescue the Knights! The teacher looks very bad!"

"Well! Everyone, don't think about anything else now! Let's quickly think of a way to help the teacher!"

Amid the hurried words of Koharu and Hanako, Azusa finally calmed down a little.

Everyone immediately called an ambulance and rushed to Trinity College Hospital with the collapsed Lynn.

--------

"...Where am I now?"

While everyone in the cram school was getting extremely worried because of Lin En's sudden collapse, Lin En, who was the center of their attention, was muttering to himself while looking around him.

At this moment, he was lying on a bed in an empty ward. Judging from the old facilities around it, it was obvious that this was a place that was almost abandoned, or had not been visited or used by anyone for a long, long time.

Fortunately, the sheets under his butt and the pillow under his head were well washed.

When Lin En, who was still a little dazed, looked at the incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling, a piece of music played by piano and violin that sounded from nowhere came into his ears.

It was somewhat incredible that when Lin En listened to the melodious music, his anxiety caused by the unknown and worries gradually began to subside.

"This place may be strange, but it looks familiar... Could it be my inner world or something like that?"

Apart from this possibility, Lin En couldn't think of any other possibility. After all, that feather shouldn't kill him if he touched it, right?

"I really want to know where Saori got this thing that she stuffed into Azusa..."

Lin En got up from the bed while talking to himself, sighed slightly, and walked to the door.

The iron door looked a bit heavy, and there was an iron fence on the visitor window. Combined with the simple facilities and the deserted corridor seen through the fence, Lin En always felt that this place was more like an empty prison than a hospital.

However, when Lin En saw the iron door, he realized that it was not locked.

"…So, what the hell is this place?"

After complaining once again, Lin En stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the heavy but useless iron door.

Chapter 69 Are you... Teacher Lin En?

"Squeak-"

After pushing open the iron door in front of him, Lin En first cautiously stuck his head out to take a look at the situation outside.

However, what disappointed him but was also expected was that outside the door was a slightly quaint and dim corridor.

Not only that, Lynn didn't see any doctors or nurses in the corridor. In this dark corridor, there was only a slightly glaring incandescent light above his head outside his ward.

When Lin En came to the corridor, what appeared in his sight were countless iron doors neatly arranged on both sides of the corridor.

Seeing this, Lin En's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

The doors in front of him gave him an extremely familiar feeling, as if there were extraordinary things hidden behind these doors.

It seems...hiding his past?

The colors and patterns of these doors are all different. The gray-black door closest to Lin En, which is directly opposite his ward, has a red exclamation mark painted on it, which makes Lin En a little confused, and there is a key in the keyhole.

After turning the key, Lynn opened the door and walked in.

As if there was some kind of induction, as soon as Lin En stepped into the room, a burst of passionate rock music suddenly rang out.

In an instant, Lin En, who was caught off guard, subconsciously clenched his hands and summoned [Murasame] who had not appeared for a long time.

However, he quickly realized that this music, which sounded like some kind of boss battle music in a game, was just some kind of background music in this room. But other than that, this music gave Lin En a strange sense of familiarity.

The space behind this door is a ward that makes Lynn even more moved and confused.

Because in addition to the bed and desk that were exactly the same as the one he was in when he woke up, there were also a lot of strange things on the desk and next to the bed.

There was a data hard disk on the desk, and next to the hard disk was an eye mask and a diamond-shaped shoulder badge. In addition to the dog head logo superimposed on the diamond pattern, there was also a line of words below the shoulder badge.

"... [Diamond Dogs]? What a strange name."

Lin En put the epaulettes back on the table and opened the drawer curiously while muttering to himself.

However, after opening the drawer, he found a strange-looking silenced pistol and...

"Is this... a prosthetic limb?"

After seeing the metallic-luster forearm prosthesis placed next to the pistol, Lin En felt a phantom pain for some reason, which made him clench his fists involuntarily.

After realizing that something seemed wrong with his condition, Lin En quickly closed the drawer and turned to look at the bed.

Surprisingly, the bed was very clean, and even the quilt on it was neatly folded into a tofu block.

However, at the head of the bed, there were several weapons that did not look very friendly.

Not to mention the strange long-pole weapon that seems to be connected by multiple tripod arms, the two straight knives next to it that look like they can be combined into a pair of scissors inexplicably give people a sense of invincibility.

But even so, these weapons that seemed to have nothing to do with him gave Lin En an extremely familiar feeling.

"So... what does this room represent? Was I once the leader of a mercenary group?"

After shaking his head in confusion, Lynn left the ward, shutting out the noisy rock music and the faint smell of blood floating in the room behind the door, and exited this world.

But what surprised Lin En was that as soon as he closed the door of the ward, the "Murasame" that he had been holding in his hand suddenly turned back into the golden card, and no matter how hard he concentrated, he could not call it out again.

"……No way?"

Lin En pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and came to another door next to him.

If the red exclamation mark on the door that he had just opened had confused Lin En, then the sign on this door was even more confusing to him.

It was an octagonal crystal.

But what disappointed Lin En was that there was no key on the door.

Not only that, when he turned around and looked at the door opposite the ward, which had a logo with the upper half shaped like the letter A and the lower half shaped like an eagle with spread wings, he found that there was no key on that door either.

Just as Lin En was struggling over whether or not to try to reach out and knock on the door, a gentle, warm breeze suddenly blew in from the depths of the somewhat dark corridor and gently caressed his face.

When he turned his head, he found that what appeared in his sight was the fiery red feather that brought him here.

However, just as Lin En subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, it spun in the air mischievously, brushed his cheek lightly, and floated towards the depths of the other end of the corridor.

Without any hesitation, Lynn immediately caught up with the other party.

After walking through a corridor of unknown length and turning several corners, the feather actually led Lin En to a place that looked like a reception hall from the furnishings.

Naturally, there were no doctors or nurses in the reception hall, let alone waiters.

Under Lin En's gaze, the feather floated towards the front desk and slowly landed on an open thick notebook.

When he walked forward curiously, he found that the thick book was actually just an ordinary-looking sign-in book that was very common even in Kivotos.

What surprised Lin En even more was that when he looked through the names left by people who had signed in before him, he found that the names they signed were all "Lynn" in various different handwritings!

"What is this? Lynn Universe?"

While complaining like this, Lin En picked up the pen placed aside. He was struggling over whether to "follow" the guidance of the feather and sign his name in the registration book. Suddenly, he looked up at the back of the front desk with a feeling in his heart.

At some point, a young girl appeared behind the front desk.

Although the girl's appearance seems to be very similar to Alona at first glance, and her clothing style and dress are also very similar, the style of this girl's clothing is completely opposite to Alona's.

Alona has short blue hair tied into a small pigtail, and she is wearing a blue and white sailor suit. Her bare legs are matched with white sneakers that perfectly match her energetic personality.
