When Lin En heard Hifumi say this, he was stunned at first, but then he showed a somewhat confused expression.

"Hifumi-san...did you recognize the wrong person? Look, I'm an adult, and I don't have a halo or anything like that. How could I be your classmate?"

"I will never mistake someone for someone else."

Unexpectedly, in the face of Lin En's words, Hifumi answered him decisively. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the phone that Lin En had placed on the table.

"Because, I gave that keychain to Joker myself. Besides... this old style is out of print now. It took me a long time to find it in the black market in Abydos. It is definitely not available in the black market of Holy Trinity."

Just as Lin En was thinking about what excuse to use to get away with it, Hifumi delivered the final blow.

"And... Teacher Lin En, have you forgotten that your hat was once knocked to the ground?"

"..."

After hearing what Hifumi said, Lin En instantly connected everything and could only smile bitterly with some helplessness.

"I didn't expect that although Lian Jian's shot didn't hit me, it actually exposed my identity."

"No, no matter what, I am very grateful to the teacher for helping me at that time!"

In response to the girl's grateful thanks, Lynn chuckled.

"This is not something to be thankful for. After all, helping students who are in trouble is what I should do as a teacher."

Just as Lin En answered this, Hifumi suddenly spoke.

"No, it's not just that."

Hifumi's tone began to become somewhat excited and yearning.

"Because... I also want to be like Teacher Lin En, who may look very ordinary, but is actually someone who can help others solve problems and resolve crises!"

…… "

After hearing Hifumi's evaluation of him, Lin En immediately covered his chest as if he had been shot by an arrow.

"I'm sorry that he's just an ordinary-looking adult."

"No... No, that's not what I meant!"

Hifumi waved her hands slightly, trying desperately to make such a gesture. It can be seen that this girl really has no ill intentions, otherwise she would not have done this.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking, don't be so nervous."

After reaching out and gently touching the girl's head to calm her down, Lin En said with a smile.

"Ah wu..."

Listening to Lin En's gentle words and looking at the other's smiling face so close to her, Hifumi was stunned on the spot.

In the girl's eyes at this moment, Lin En had completely overlapped with the figure who had carried her away from danger that night.

Lynn, who hadn't noticed the girl's expression at all, withdrew his hand and asked her with a little curiosity.

"But I'm actually quite curious, why do you have such an idea?"

After being brought back to reality by Lin En's words, Hifumi first laughed awkwardly, and then began to explain.

"Because... when I was in school, I always looked very easy-going and had no worries. So many friends were willing to confide their worries to me. But many times, facing these friends' confessions, I was powerless and had no way to help them solve their worries. I could only listen to what they said and agree with them..."

Hifumi sighed helplessly at first, then raised her head and looked at Lynn.

"If I were not such an ordinary person, but someone like the teacher who has the ability to help others solve problems and troubles, I think my friends and I would not be so miserable. What's more, even an adult like you who doesn't have the protection of a halo can still be so brave when encountering danger. So I think that if I can be as brave as you and have the ability to help others like you, maybe I won't be so distressed."

Hifumi said this while looking straight into her eyes seriously.

"So... Actually, I've been wandering around the black market in Abydos all this time, hoping to run into you again!"

Having said that, he seemed to realize something, lowered his head slightly, and revealed a slightly shy smile.

"Ahahaha... Come to think of it, I think I said something embarrassing..."

In response to the girl's words, Lin En chuckled and involuntarily reached out and touched her head.

"Old...teacher?"

Looking at Hifumi who looked surprised, Lynn said to her with a smile.

"Actually, I think you've done a great job, Hifumi?"

Chapter 73 A Trustworthy Person

"Eh?"

Hifumi raised her head and looked at Lin En with a bit of disbelief in her eyes, as if she didn't expect Lin En to say that.

"I... did great?"

Although Hifumi's mood was visibly lifted for a moment when she heard Lin En's words, her eyebrows drooped slightly afterwards and she spoke with some lack of confidence.

"But, I was just listening to my friend's talk... Although it's better than doing nothing, but... is this enough?"

"Since they are willing to talk to you, it means that Toumi Fumi is a friend they can trust."

Lynn said with a smile in front of Hifumi.

"In fact, in many cases, a person confides his or her troubles to others not because he or she really hopes to get some solution to the troubles or problems from the other person. What they often need is just a gentle word of comfort or even just a warm hug. And for them, this is better than a thousand other words."

At this point, Lynn ruffled Hifumi's hair gently and chuckled.

"Just like I am now."

Hearing this, Hifumi's eyes couldn't help but ripple slightly, and her gaze became firm.

"...Yes, I can't just be depressed now, even though my friends are relying on me and trusting me. I should at least cheer them up like I always do...right?"

Seeing the smile return to the girl's face, Lin En withdrew his hand, smiled and nodded.

"That's right, Hifumi looks cuter when she smiles like this, right?"

"Ah ha ha……"

Lin En's words made Hifumi blush and lower her head, but she immediately raised it and looked at Lin En.

"It seems that what Renjian-senpai said is absolutely right. You are indeed a very trustworthy and reliable teacher. And thanks to you, I also feel that my troubles have been alleviated a lot..."

Hearing Hifumi say this, Lin En seemed to remember something and smiled.

"Then can I understand that, Hifumi, you think I'm a trustworthy person?"

"um, yes."

Although Hifumi's pretty face was almost completely red, she still nodded slightly and replied.

But soon, she seemed to remember something and took out her cell phone from her schoolbag.

"Um... Teacher, can you exchange contact information with me?"

"That's not a problem..."

Lin En said this and picked up the phone he had placed on the table. But for some reason, when he picked up the phone, Hifumi smiled shyly as if she remembered something happy.

Although he was a little confused, Lynn added Hifumi's Momo as a friend without giving it much thought.

"Hehe... this way, I can contact the teacher at any time."

Looking at Hifumi's slightly excited expression, Lin En thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said to her.

"But... although it's not something that needs to be kept secret, I still hope that Hifumi won't tell anyone about my identity."

"Yes! I will keep it a secret for the teacher! But..."

After hesitating for a while, Hifumi asked as if she had finally made up her mind.

"If I still have troubles next time... Teacher, would you be willing to listen to me like this again?"

"Of course."

Faced with the girl's lovely request, Lynn answered without hesitation.

"If you feel you need anything, Hifumi, you can always contact me."

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing Lynn's words, Hifumi chuckled and nodded.

--------

After walking out of the dessert shop, Hifumi held her Peloro backpack and grumbled a little dissatisfiedly.

"I followed you secretly, but you ended up paying the bill for me..."

Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but touch the hair of the girl next to him with some amusement, while the latter narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing an expression like a little animal.

"How can a teacher in this world ask students to pay?"

After patting the girl's head, Lynn, who was riding a motorcycle, thought for a moment and asked with a little concern.

"You really don't need me to give you a ride?"

"No... no need! I can walk back by myself!"

Seeing Hifumi say this, Lin En shrugged slightly and did not insist any more.

But just as Lynn started the motorcycle, he suddenly remembered something, chuckled, and looked at Hifumi.

"But if you really want to be like me in the future, Hifumi, then just come to Xialai and find me."

"Ah...eh?"

When Hifumi looked stunned, Lin En smiled and waved his hand after saying this, then drove away on his motorcycle, and his back gradually disappeared from Hifumi's sight.

After staring blankly at the direction where Lin En disappeared for a long time, Hifumi finally reacted from her dazed state. She lowered her head, hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her schoolbag, and opened Momo friends.

It was not until she saw Lin En's name that the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief and held the phone tightly to her chest as if it were a treasure.

"Like a teacher..."

Subconsciously looking in the direction where Lin En disappeared, Hifumi couldn't help but murmur softly.

--------

"..."

Unlike Hifumi who was full of expectations and longings, Lin En, who was driving a motorcycle, suddenly felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

Although I just said those words to the other person very coolly, and also told him "If you want to be like me, then just come to Xialai to find me", but actually, if I think about it seriously, what can I teach the other person?

The glider and grappling hook on his Phantom Thief suit are indeed very cool, and the various hidden props and devices are also very cool, but for the students of Kivotos who are all supermen, these are just some tricks, right?!

You see, at that time, Lin En even took out a "gadget" that was powerful enough to blow up a building, but the student named He Cheng only suffered some injuries that didn't look too serious, and he couldn't even make the other person unconscious.

As for "Murasame"...

That thing is indeed effective for students, but the moment Joker took out the Murasame, his identity was exposed! Besides, this thing can't be taught at all, right? !

Just as Lin En was sighing for his "big talk", a strange feeling made him slowly brake the motorcycle. He frowned slightly, and then turned his head sharply to look at the building next to him.

Chapter 74 Black Clothes

When Lin En cast his eyes towards the building, he could also sense that someone on the building was also casting his eyes towards him - and at this moment, their eyes were already meeting.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to stop for a moment.

There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road, only some hot air blowing past and scratching Lin En's cheek.

But even in such an extremely quiet environment, Lin En felt that his body and limbs began to involuntarily accumulate strength.

Lynn was no stranger to this situation.
