Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"Captain, are you okay?"

Hearing the girl's question, Nero chuckled nonchalantly.

"Why are you still worried about me? You should be able to see it through the sniper's scope, right?"

Hearing this, the girl shook her head.

"Qian called me over not long after the captain and the teacher started fighting. Also, although my position was convenient for observing the battlefield, it was not convenient for sniping. She was worried that she would not be able to provide timely support, so I rushed over."

After answering this, the girl looked Nero up and down, then asked with a little confusion.

"Captain, what's the result?"

"Ah, I lost, it's that simple."

In response to his teammates' questions, Nero admitted his defeat very straightforwardly.

"Although the teacher's strength is indeed overwhelmingly inferior to mine, I am still inferior to him in terms of technique and adaptability. So, you should not underestimate the teacher just because he has no aura."

"what!"

Hearing Nero's answer, the girl couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes.

Then she turned to Lynn, who was also observing her, and bowed slightly.

"You are the teacher, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Kadotate Karin. I hope you can teach me in the future. Since the teacher has been recognized by the captain, I will never be disrespectful to the teacher in the future."

Although Lin En had already learned the information of everyone present from the information provided by Riju, he still pretended to have just learned it and nodded and answered.

"My name is Lin En. As you all know, I am Xia Lai's teacher. Please take care of me in the future. But..."

As Lin En said this, he pulled the Phantom Thief costume on himself towards everyone and said with a chuckle.

"In the final analysis, the reason I was able to win this duel was thanks to my students. Just as students cannot live without their teachers, teachers cannot live without their students."

"Yeah, that's right! Maybe you will need our help in the future, teacher!"

With a voice full of energy, Asuna came to Lynn's side and handed him the cane, answering with a smile on her face.

"It's Asuna. It looks like you guys are getting better now."

Looking at Akane who came to him with Asuna and greeted him with a smile, Lin En nodded.

"Oh? It seems that you have almost recovered. But... there is still a troublesome guy now."

After hearing what Nero said, Lin En couldn't help but look at Yuuka, who was still standing there with a distressed look on her face.

Chapter 44 "That means everyone is welcome!"

In response to Nero's words, Akane gave a wry smile.

"That person still seems to be confused and unbelievable that the teacher actually beat the minister."

Having said that, Akane asked Nero as if she had thought of something.

"Come to think of it... Isn't the Minister worried about his reputation being damaged because of this?"

However, in response to Qian's question, Nero grinned slightly. Although he was smiling, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

"Heh...if their strength is as strong as their mouth, then just come and beat me into submission."

Hearing this, Lynn stood up again and patted Alice on the head and shrugged.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. No one except us and some of the senior executives of Millennium Science Academy will know what happened tonight."

However, Nero showed an indifferent look to Lin En's comfort.

"Whatever. Compared to those guys who have a headache because of worrying about this and that, I only care about the people in front of me."

But after hearing what Nero said, Asuna seemed to understand something and showed an interested look.

"I understand, I understand! Buchou, you care about this too, right? About the teacher!"

"What?! Stupid... No! No... No... But that's not it!"

After hearing Asuna's ambiguous words, Nero blushed and immediately loudly refuted Asuna in a way that didn't sound like a rebuttal at all.

"Haha, I can understand the Minister's feelings. However, I am still a little worried."

As if she understood something from the conversation between the two, Qian looked at the game club gathered around Lin En while saying this.

"Judging from the figures of these children, Teacher Lin En probably likes..."

Although Qian didn't finish what she was saying, under the current circumstances, it made no difference whether she had finished or not.

"Hmm? Oh...I see."

Since Hua Lin had been observing through a scope on a distant building, she could not hear the conversation on the spot and did not fully understand what had happened in the Millennium Tower before.

But after listening to what the two said, Hua Lin, who obviously misunderstood but not completely, nodded in agreement.

"At least for the minister, it's not bad news."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll throw you out of here!"

Nero stomped his feet hard, creating countless cracks on the floor, and then shouted angrily at his members.

However, facing this seemingly humorous atmosphere, Lin En coughed lightly and spoke seriously.

“No… Regarding this point, I still need to correct some things. In fact, no matter what your body shape is, you are all my students. So to me, you are all equally important…”

But before Lynn could finish his "speech", Asuna showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"So, the teacher is the type who accepts everyone who comes?"

Asuna said this, she rushed towards Lynn just like Alice just now, and after clamping the other's arms with her plump breasts, she said with a smile.

"If that's the case, I think everyone shouldn't have anything to worry about!"

"Hey! Asuna! What are you doing?!"

Hearing Nero's slightly annoyed words, Asuna blinked, then replied with a nonchalant smile.

"Hmm? Of course it's because I like the teacher very much. And the teacher doesn't hate this, right?"

Unexpectedly, besides Nero, the first person to react to Asuna's words and actions was Alice. She was standing next to Lin En, and she jumped lightly, hugged Lin En's other arm, and hung in the air like a pendant.

"Mmm... Alice likes the teacher just as much! And, Alice will never lose to you!"

Facing Alice who was staring at her seriously and "declaring war", Asuna couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Hahaha, because I will respond to my master's expectations of me no matter what, so I will definitely not lose to you!"

"Why has my title changed from teacher to...well, I think I know."

When Lin En sighed helplessly, he felt the corner of his clothes being tugged and turned to look at Lu who was standing behind him.

"Teacher, let's retreat quickly. We still have to send the [Mirror] to the Ministry of Truth to unlock the G.Bible."

"Yeah... that's true..."

As Lin En muttered to himself, Asuna, who had also heard the conversation, smiled and let go of her hand.

"Teacher, please come to C&C to see us more often in the future!"

"Well, it will definitely happen."

When Lin En answered Asuna with a smile, Alice also let go of her hand, fell to the ground, picked up the sword of light that was placed not far away, and returned to Lin En's side.

However, just as Lynn and the others were preparing to say goodbye to Nero and the others and leave, a person who was almost forgotten by them suddenly spoke.

"Teacher Lin En, wait a moment!"

"Uwaa ...

After grabbing Taoi who was about to pull his arm to escape, Lin En looked at Yuuka who was walking towards them.

"Yuuka, do you have any questions?"

"Hmm..."

After looking around, Yuka spoke to Lin En with a hint of helplessness.

"But... but no matter what, we can't just let it go about the game development department attacking the student union, right?"

Hearing Yuka's words, Lin En smiled, stretched out his hand, and touched her head amidst her brief exclamation.

"Of course they didn't attack the student council. They just wanted to help me get the [Mirror]. After all, this thing was originally meant for me. And I encountered some obstacles when retrieving it, so I asked them for help."

Hearing this, Yuka slightly widened her eyes in disbelief.

"So... that [Mirror] is for the teacher? When did this happen?"

After seeing Yuka's expression, Lin En withdrew his hand and shrugged helplessly.

"I'm not really sure about this, but that's what Himari told me. Of course, if you don't believe me, just ask her in person. After all, Himari can't lie, right?"

Hearing this, Yuka hesitated for a moment, then picked up the communicator used exclusively by seminar cadres.

Chapter 45: Things that cannot be mentioned?

After completing the inquiry through the communicator, Yuka looked at Lin En with a slightly incredulous expression. In response, Lin En just smiled silently and spread his hands.

Seeing this, Yuka pondered for a moment before asking Lynn.

"But... the battle did happen, right? Fighting against C&C, an organization representing the academy, and destroying public facilities, that should also be punished!"

However, in response to Yuuka's question, Lynn answered without hesitation, as if he had anticipated it.

"It couldn't be simpler, because this is not just a battle, but a duel. In other words, it's just a competition. Moreover, after this battle, everyone has grown at this moment... Am I right, everyone in C&C?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Nero blinked, then smiled knowingly.

"Well, that's not wrong."

After seeing the reaction of her own minister, Qian also understood something and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I thought it was a trivial challenge at first, but later I did find out my own shortcomings."

As she said this, Akane touched her belly under the cover of her shield, then sighed secretly.

Although she let go of Lin En's arm at this time, Asuna, who was still sticking to him, replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I'm really happy about this fight!"

Asuna said this, she reached out and poked Lynn's cheek, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"After all, it is really a pleasure to see the teacher's heroic figure..."

In response, Lin En just smiled and tapped her forehead gently. In response, Asuna also cooperated and covered her forehead with a painful expression.

After listening to the words of her captain and the other two members, Hua Lin blinked slightly in confusion at first, but then showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. Is this actually a training confrontation for defensive warfare? I agree with that."

Just as Lin En nodded at Karin's answer, Asuna, who also heard her answer, smiled bitterly.

"Ah...it seems like Karin-chan misunderstood again..."

Seeing the C&C people suddenly turn their "guns" around, Yuka couldn't help but reveal a slightly surprised look.

"But... you clearly accepted the commission..."

"Commission?"

In response to Yuuka's words, Nero spoke with a hint of doubt.

"On my way back, I received a message saying that the commission had been withdrawn. In other words, there is no business for us C&C here now. And the reason I came here was only because Asuna said that she found a good seedling who could be absorbed into C&C, so I made a special detour to take a look. But I didn't expect to meet the teacher."

"We can be considered as not knowing each other until we fight, right?"

Hearing Lynn's teasing, Nero grinned and replied.

"No fight, no friendship? Yes, that's true. After all, even if you look at the entire Kivotos, you are probably the first person who can make me admit defeat sincerely like this. So..."
