I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

Yukino Yukinoshita... will definitely be hit hard by this soccer ball that's big enough to give someone a concussion!

Finished!

This thought flashed through everyone's minds simultaneously.

Yukino Yukinoshita also sensed the danger.

She suddenly looked up, and the rapidly spinning, black and white soccer ball magnified rapidly in her clear pupils!

The sound of wind.

Screams.

Heartbeat...

The world seemed to be slowed down at that moment.

Her brain was racing, trying to calculate a dodge route, but her body froze in place due to the sudden shock.

Can't escape.

At this critical moment!

A figure moved.

The man who leaned against the tree, lazily yawning, seemingly indifferent to everything around him—Lynn.

Chapter 23: Qiongmei's possessiveness was ignited!

He had already raised his eyelids the instant the football flew out.

There was no surprise or panic in those eyes that always seemed a little tired.

There was only the stillness of an ancient well.

[Perfect Combat Intuition: Intermediate] - Activate!

In his perception, the entire world instantly entered bullet time.

The high-speed flying soccer ball seemed to have become a slowly moving target.

Its trajectory, speed, rotation angle, and final landing point were all perfectly analyzed by his brain within 0.01 seconds, and more than seventeen possible solutions were calculated.

Ultimately, he chose the least strenuous and most efficient method.

Before anyone could react.

Lynn's body moved with a fluidity that was incomprehensible to ordinary people, and could even be described as defying physics!

He didn't sprint.

He simply made a seemingly casual step.

He moved like a weightless phantom, instantly shifting several meters to appear beside Yukino Yukinoshita.

The entire movement was fluid and fast, yet incredibly quiet!

Not a speck of dust was stirred up.

Not a single extra footstep was made.

It was as if he wasn't moving, but rather... "flashing".

"Be careful."

A low, calm reminder rang in Yukino's ears.

The next second, a warm and strong hand grabbed her shoulder without saying a word and pulled her back sharply!

Yukino Yukinoshita felt an irresistible yet strangely gentle force coming towards her.

Her body fell backward uncontrollably, crashing directly into a firm and warm embrace.

A familiar, clean masculine scent, carrying a faint aroma of tea, instantly enveloped her gently.

Her nose even brushed lightly against his warm, soft tracksuit.

Her brain completely shut down in that instant.

"boom--!"

Until a dull, loud bang was heard.

The soccer ball, powerful enough to knock someone unconscious, slammed hard against the metal goal frame behind Yukinoshita with a tooth-grinding thud before bouncing away powerlessly.

Time seemed to return to its normal flow at this moment.

The entire playground fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at what was happening in front of the goal, their minds blank.

what happened?

How did Teacher Lynn pass away?

Isn't he... still under that tree over there?

Was that... teleportation?!

Yukino Yukinoshita remained frozen in the pose of being held in Lynn's arms.

She could clearly feel how steady the hand on her shoulder was.

She could also clearly feel the steady and powerful heartbeat coming from the chest behind her.

He... didn't even feel his heart rate increase.

It was as if everything that had just happened in the blink of an eye was nothing more than a trivial matter to him, as insignificant as brushing dust off his shoulder.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Lynn's voice pulled her back to reality from her shock.

He released his hand, as if the intimate contact just now was only for saving people, without any extra emotions involved.

"I, I'm fine..."

Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously took a step back, creating distance between them, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it.

An uncontrollable blush rose to her cheeks, spreading from her face all the way to her delicate, snow-white ears.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"Ye Shan!"

Lynn ignored her thanks and turned her head, looking calmly at the blond handsome man in the middle of the room who was already terrified.

"Next time you pass the ball, aim carefully."

His tone remained flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

But Hayato Hayama felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, jolting him back to his senses.

He scrambled over, his handsome face, which always wore a perfect smile, now as pale as a sheet of paper.

"I'm so sorry! Yukinoshita-san! Lynn-sensei! I'm really so sorry!"

He first bowed deeply to the snow, his voice filled with lingering fear and relief.

Then he turned to Lynn, his eyes filled with undisguised, deep awe and shock.

"Ms. Lin En... thank you so much... just now!"

He couldn't even find the right words to describe his feelings at that moment.

At this moment, the others finally recovered from their shock.

"Wow! So cool! Teacher Lynn's move just now was so cool!"

"My God! Teacher Lynn is like Superman!"

"Waaaaah, Teacher Lynn, I can do it!"

The screams of countless girls echoed continuously.

Yui Yuigahama didn't scream out loud.

But her bright and energetic face was filled with admiration and excitement, and her big eyes were sparkling with countless little pink stars.

That's not just ordinary handsome!

That's... the kind you only see in movies! Superhero-like cool!

Kasugano Sora, sitting on the grass, slowly lowered her hands from hugging her knees.

Her usually lifeless gray eyes were now fixed intently on the hand that Lynn had just put his arm around Yukino's shoulder.

Then, her gaze fell on the blushing, excessively beautiful face beneath the snow.

The air around her seemed to drop a few degrees because of her silent gaze.

She clutched the black rabbit doll in her arms even tighter in her little hands.

The knuckles, due to excessive force, turned a sickly bluish-white.

Goto stood alone in the corner, completely dumbfounded.

Her small mouth was slightly open, and her pink pupils trembled violently.

So, what is that?

Hallucination?

Teacher Lynn's figure... seemed to have disappeared just now, and then reappeared...

hero……

Sure enough, Mr. Lynn was here to save a loser like me... a true hero!

At this moment, the "myth of Teacher Lynn" in her heart was completely solidified, building an indestructible temple called "faith".

Hikigaya Hachiman silently pushed up his non-existent glasses, and for the first time, his dead fish eyes flashed with a light called "solemnity".

【Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?】

[That move just now...it's not something an ordinary human could do, is it?]

Is that guy really a teacher?

[Could he be a retired... special forces soldier? No, even if he were, it wouldn't be that far-fetched...]

[Damn it, are all the popular people these days so obsessed with being in a relationship? Even becoming a teacher requires such superhuman skills?]

This world, after all, should just be destroyed!

However, among all of them, the one whose heart was filled with the most terrifying turmoil was Yukino Yukinoshita.

She forcibly suppressed her heart, which was about to leap out of her throat. Her proud brain, comparable to a supercomputer, was working frantically at overload capacity!

survey!

At this moment, her investigation into Lynn yielded groundbreaking and most revolutionary "evidence"!

Previous speculations... such as "senior psychologist," "master of emotional manipulation"...

Looking back now, it was utterly childish and ridiculous!

Could a psychologist react this quickly?!

Could a psychologist possess such terrifying body control?!

That movement just now... it's beyond just being described as "fast"!

That's "efficiency"! That's "instinct"!

It is the purest instinct, born for "fighting," that can only be formed after thousands of life-and-death battles have been completely integrated into muscle memory!

The profile of Lynn's identity in her mind began to iterate and upgrade at an absurd speed!

[Former international mercenary?]

No, his demeanor doesn't match; he doesn't have that bloody smell.

[A top agent of a mysterious organization? Codenamed "Teacher"?]

It's possible! His languid demeanor could very well be a perfect disguise to conceal his true identity!
