Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

But soon, everything fell silent.

Not long after, another familiar voice came from the phone.

"Good morning, teacher. I'm sorry that I was delayed for a while because of Xiang. So, are you going to Millennium to pick up the things you ordered from the Engineering Department?"

Hearing Ge Yuan's calm voice, Lin En could only force himself not to care about the situation on the other side and nodded in response.

"Uh, yeah. Are you guys done with it yet?"

"Of course, this level of product is a piece of cake for our engineering department. But I have to say that the teacher's wonderful ideas really opened our eyes. We never thought that something that we can see in daily life can have such a wonderful use. I really hope that after the teacher comes to Millennium Science Academy, he can discuss this issue with us..."

Seeing that Ge Yuan's topic seemed to be getting out of control, Lin En quickly coughed lightly.

"Well... for some reason, I can't go to Millennium Science Academy for the time being. However, I remember that your engineering department should support door-to-door delivery, right?"

"Ah... yes. As long as the teacher sends the coordinates or location, we can deliver the things."

"That's good. Can you please send it over here now? Just send it to where my phone is right now."

After saying this, Lin En suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly.

"But I'm in Gehenna now, so there shouldn't be any problems, right? Will it cause any disputes or something?"

"Of course, no problem. The drones we use for delivery are all excellent transport drones that have been strictly selected and tested!"

After hearing Ge Yuan's confident voice, Lin En finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the girl's next words made his eyes widen in an instant.

"Therefore, we are fully confident that we can avoid Gehenna's aerial surveillance and interception, so please rest assured, Teacher Lin En!"

"Wait for me—"

Before Lin En could finish his words, a busy tone came from his phone, indicating that the call had been hung up.

"Um... Teacher Lin En, is there a problem with the negotiation?"

Hearing Julie's slightly worried and somehow familiar question, Lynn sighed helplessly.

But then, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Since Hina-chan has made me owe you a favor, then let me use this 'favor' to the fullest extent!"

Of course, at this time, neither Lin En nor the students in the engineering department had expected that this drone that transported goods for Lin En would not only cause a series of accidents, but would also serve as an opportunity to change the logistics system between the various university campuses.

But that’s all in the past.

Chapter 13 Strange Cardboard Box

At this time, in a somewhat messy open space in front of a small house deep in the Gehena jungle, a simple barbecue grill was placed.

On this grill, there were golden steaks. Not only that, the rich fat inside these tempting steaks would be forced out by the burning flames from time to time, dripping onto the bonfire below, making a sizzling sound.

"Although it's just a beast, we can't underestimate its will to survive... I didn't expect it would take so much effort to kill it."

Haruna, who was sitting next to Fengxiang who was grilling meat, took a look at the dissected wild boar carcass placed next to her and couldn't help but sigh.

"Um... Fengxiang-san, you're not done yet?"

However, unlike Haruna who had the leisure to sigh, after smelling the aroma of the barbecue, Akari, who was already feeling a little hungry, suddenly felt even hungrier.

"That's right, I think these barbecues smell delicious!"

Junko, squatting by the fire and watching the steaming meat on the grill, swallowed subconsciously.

As for Junko's words, Izumi, who was squatting on the other side of the fire, nodded vigorously.

“It feels like the smell alone is enough to whet your appetite!”

Listening to the four people around him talking, Fengxiang, who was turning the steak over and sprinkling salt on it, sighed.

"Forget it... I've given up the idea of ​​asking you for help. But where did you get these kitchen utensils and condiments?"

"Of course! We prepared these things in advance and placed them in that hut."

Hearing Haruna's answer, Fengxiang immediately gave a typical dead fish eye.

"...In other words, you have been planning today's kidnapping for a long time?"

"Oh, don't worry about these little problems at this time!"

In response to Fengxiang's words, Junko, who no longer had any intention of hiding her thoughts, waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Compared to this, the barbecue is not ready yet? We haven't had a good meal in a long time!"

"Junko-san is right."

Haruna nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Compared to those shops that claim to be high-end gourmet food but are not worthy of their reputation, Fengxiang's cooking skills are indeed better."

"If you really want to thank me, don't always ask me to cook for you in this way..."

Hearing this, Fengxiang couldn't help but say this helplessly.

However, at this moment, the grass not far from the crowd shook slightly unnaturally.

"Hmm? Could it be that there are other wild animals around here?"

Hearing Mingli's question, Haruna couldn't help but lower her head and think for a moment.

"That should be the case. After all, even I don't know how many wild animals there are in this forest."

"Then I'll go check out the situation. Maybe we can get some extra food."

Perhaps because the maple-flavored barbecue had whetted her appetite, Mingli licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue, glanced at the bushes, and picked up the gun next to her.

"But you have to come back soon, okay? Otherwise, Mingli's share might not be safe."

"Then no one of you is allowed to snatch the prey I bring back later from me!"

After Haruna protested, Akari took her gun and walked into the woods, heading in the direction of the sound.

However, after Mingli walked for a long distance into the forest, she did not find any wild animals or any traces of wild animals.

"Is it my imagination? Or is it just the wind blowing the grass?"

Just as Mingli was about to return the same way, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a yellowish-brown trace out of the corner of her eye.

But just as she subconsciously raised the gun in that direction and walked in front of it, she put down the gun with some confusion.

“Why is there a cardboard box here?”

On the ground in front of Mingli, there was a plain, yet somewhat strange cardboard box placed there for some reason.

After all, anyone would find it strange that in such a sparsely populated forest where even the owner, Haruna Kurodate, seldom comes, there is a cardboard box that looks so fresh.

"…Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Although it was a question he asked himself, the moment he said this, Mingli, whose actions were faster than his thoughts, had already put away her gun, bent down and reached out to open the lid of the cardboard box.

However, in the next moment, the cardboard box was suddenly opened from the bottom, and a figure suddenly jumped out from inside.

"boom!"

With a blast like a gunshot, a red samurai sword that seemed to have turned into lightning suddenly flew out from the cardboard box and appeared behind Mingli almost in an instant.

"Varied--"

Not to mention raising the gun at her side, poor Akari didn't even have time to scream before she was hit on the back of the neck by the back of the samurai sword and fell unconscious to the ground.

"...Did I use too much force?"

Looking at Mingli who had fainted on the ground for some reason with her back facing the sky and her index finger facing forward, Lin En couldn't help but turn her over with some concern and poked her face with his finger.

The halo disappeared, and it looked like he had really fainted. And judging from his breathing, he didn't seem to be in any serious condition.

"Although I used the back of a knife, the force was enough to split the load-bearing pillars of a building in half..."

After seeing the scene in front of him, Lynn recalled what had happened before and once again exclaimed at the students' superhuman physique. He picked up the scabbard, blew away the white smoke at the mouth of the scabbard, and then reinserted the blade into the scabbard.

This is one of the incarnations of his "card", Lin En temporarily calls it [Murasame].

What he used just now was the special skill of [Murasame] that was similar to the sword-drawing technique - the bullet sword-drawing technique.

To put it simply, after pulling the "trigger" on the scabbard, you can use the thrust generated by the bullet in the magazine on the scabbard and the ejection of the scabbard to perform a powerful sword-drawing slash, or directly eject the sword and use the handle to repel the enemy.

——Miri was knocked unconscious by Lin En using the former method.

Of course, in addition to performing sword-drawing techniques, this samurai sword also has the function of shooting using the bullets in the magazine.

It was thanks to this samurai sword that Lin En was able to hold his own in his first confrontation with Hina.

However, he almost lost an arm for it.

After confirming that Mingli would not wake up for a while, Lin En carried her to a slightly cleaner shade of a tree. Then he picked up the cardboard box next to him that he had overturned and used to hide.

Although this cardboard box looks very ordinary, it is the prop he ordered from the Engineering Department of Millennium Science Academy.

You know, in the technologically advanced Kivotos, cardboard boxes are also ubiquitous. But unlike ordinary cardboard boxes, this cardboard box not only has a one-way small gap for observing the surrounding situation, but also has certain bulletproof and explosion-proof functions.

Not only that, it also has optical camouflage and electronically rendered camouflage that makes it impossible for surveillance equipment to detect it.

Because he needed Mingli to focus on the cardboard box, he turned off the optical camouflage.

"Let's see who will be the unlucky one next."

While talking to himself, Lin En put the cardboard box on his head.

The next moment, the cardboard box and Lin En disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 14: Things Worse than Death

"Fengxiang-san...is the barbecue not ready yet?"

Faced with Quan's repeated urging, Fengxiang had no choice but to answer helplessly again.

"It'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon."

After saying that, Fengxiang sighed helplessly as he looked at the large pieces of grilled meat placed on the grill in front of him.

"It would be nice if Teacher Lin En was here too..."

"Hmm? Fengxiang-san, you mean... Teacher Lin En is also a good cook?"

Hearing Junko's slightly puzzled question, Fengxiang nodded.

"Yes. Although I haven't eaten the food cooked by Teacher Lin En yet, when he helps me in the cafeteria, he can always complete the tasks that need to be completed accurately and just right. So in my opinion, Teacher Lin En's cooking skills are definitely not bad."

"Then why don't we invite Teacher Lin En to come over next time?"

Junko couldn't help but twitch her lips at Izumi's thoughtless remarks.

"Izumi... Have you forgotten how terrifying that teacher is..."

"Eh……"

After this somewhat nonsensical conversation, the two men simultaneously became depressed.

"Strange...why hasn't Mingli come back yet?"

It was not until this moment that Haruna finally noticed something unusual and looked in the direction where Akari disappeared, frowning slightly.

"And the gunshot just now... didn't sound like Mingli's gun..."

But before Haruna could continue thinking, Fengxiang's words interrupted her thoughts.

"Okay, although this doesn't match my mood, now, please try the barbecue I made."
