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

[Could it be... the last heir of an ancient assassin family, weary of the bloodshed, who chose to retire to the city?!]

Perhaps he came to Zongwu High School not to teach, but to hide his identity and escape the pursuit of some powerful organization?!

[That Kasugano-kun...could he be an important target he was protecting on his mission? Or perhaps the orphan of one of his fallen comrades?!]

This is the most likely possibility!

This explains why he has such a profound insight into human nature!

This also explains why he has such superhuman skills!

This further explains why her older sister, Haruno, developed such a strong, almost predatory interest in him!

Because my sister must have sensed something too!

Yukino Yukinoshita felt her blood boiling with excitement because of this bold guess!

She found it!

She has finally found the most crucial key to unlocking the enormous mystery of "Lynn"!

Lynn... teacher...

No.

Lynn.

She looked at the man who had already returned to his lazy posture, and was urging Hayama Hayato and the others to continue their activities with an expression that said, "This is so troublesome, let's finish class soon."

For the first time, a light, more intense and brighter than ever before, ignited in those eyes that were as clear as a cold pool.

You man...

No matter who you were in the past.

From today on.

Your secret will be revealed by me, Yukino Yukinoshita!

"..."

On the other side of the playground.

Under the shade.

Lynn yawned and rubbed his eyes.

I moved around a little just now, and now I'm even sleepier.

Really.

Why pass it for so long?

Play a good short passing game, have fun for the next 45 minutes, and then run away as soon as the bell rings – that's the true essence of PE class!

Why make it so dramatic?

His gaze swept over Yukino Yukinoshita, who was looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a "rare treasure" not far away, and he pursed his lips helplessly.

See it.

This has created another big problem.

He was even less aware of it.

In the quietest corner of the playground, on that patch of green grass.

Kasugano Sora 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.

That warm, unique light that belonged only to her.

It seems that others also want to touch it.

Chapter 24: My Butterfly, go and prove that you will not let this expectation down.

Tokyo, Minato.

Inside an elegant private reception room overlooking the entire city at night.

Yukino Yukino, with her bare, white feet, lazily curled up on an expensive leather sofa, elegantly swirling a glass of beautiful Burgundy red wine between her slender fingers.

She wore a well-tailored silk dress that perfectly accentuated her mature, alluring, and breathtaking curves.

That stunningly beautiful face, which bore a seven or eight-point resemblance to Yukino but with added allure and aggression, always wore a playful smile that seemed to see right through people.

"Miss, here are the documents you requested."

A middle-aged man in a black suit, with a capable demeanor, respectfully placed a sealed brown paper bag on the coffee table in front of her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Tanaka."

Yang Nai's voice was soft and alluring, as if it had a hook.

She put down her wine glass, slowly opened the document bag, and pulled out a few thin sheets of paper.

Lynn, male, 20 years old.

[Background: Origin unknown, parents unknown. Personal background: Unknown; joined Zongwu High School a month ago as a Mandarin teacher.]

Social relationships: Unknown.

[Assets: Owns only one ordinary apartment near Sobu High School, with no mortgage. A three-year-old used Toyota. Savings amount... consistent with his salary level.]

The information on paper is that simple.

It's so simple, like a blank sheet of paper.

It was so clean it was almost absurd.

Yukino's gaze slowly swept over those lines of text, her smile growing ever more intense and dangerous.

Those long, narrow, fox-like eyes gleamed with the excited yet cruel light that only a hunter would show when he discovers the trail of his prey.

Blank paper?

The most suspicious thing in the world is a perfectly blank sheet of paper.

A man who can save Yukino in an instant with a reaction speed that surpasses the limits of human ability.

A man who could make his own proud and arrogant younger sister, who looked down on everyone else, show a mixture of shock, confusion, and excitement.

A man who suddenly appears and "coincidentally" adopts a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl with a mysterious past.

His resume would be a blank sheet of paper with no special features.

This is simply the funniest joke of the century.

This in itself is the biggest flaw.

"Hehe... Interesting, very interesting..."

Yang Nai let out a soft, bell-like laugh. She casually tossed the document onto the table, picked up her wine glass again, and took a small sip.

She was 100% certain.

This man named Lynn is definitely from the "underworld".

Moreover, they are the most elite monsters, the ones most skilled at disguise and stealth.

His arrival at Zongwu High School is definitely for some ulterior motive, a huge scheme!

Perhaps it was for the Yukinoshita family's wealth?

Or perhaps... for some deeper secret that even she hasn't yet touched?

Yang Nai took out her phone and skillfully dialed her sister's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Yukino Yukinoshita's voice, as always, was cool and aloof.

"Sister? Is something the matter?"

"Oh, Yukino, why are you so cold? I really miss you."

Yang said in a coquettish, sickeningly sweet tone.

"If you're just going to spout this nonsense, then I'm hanging up."

Yukino's tone revealed a hint of impatience.

"No, please, please."

Yang then changed the subject, asking seemingly casually.

"I heard that your school's new teacher, Lynn, put on a heroic rescue during PE class today, didn't she?"

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

Yang Nai could even imagine that her younger sister's icy face must have already shown signs of wavering and embarrassment.

"Sister, are you spying on me again?"

Yukino's voice carried a hint of obvious anger.

"How can you call this surveillance? Your sister is just concerned about you."

Yang chuckled lightly, but his tone suddenly became serious.

"Yukino, listen to your older sister's advice."

"That man is dangerous."

"His level of danger may far exceed your imagination."

“I used my family’s connections to investigate his background, and it’s as clean as a fake document. This kind of person is either a desperate criminal or… someone with very big ambitions.”

“So…” Yang Nai’s voice carried an undeniable air of command.

"Continue to observe him, and don't alert him."

"Try... to find a breakthrough from his new 'sister'."

"This man is more unfathomable than we imagined."

"Remember, never let yourself get caught up in it."

After hanging up the phone, Yukinoshita Haruno downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, a sickly flush appearing on her fair cheeks.

She licked her luscious red lips, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Lynn...

very nice.

She couldn't wait to tear away his perfect disguise and see what kind of interesting beast was hidden beneath.

……

Meanwhile, the Universal Psychological Safety House.

At this moment, in the pure white materialization training field.

Shinobu Kocho stood with her eyes closed, and the aura emanating from her had undergone a complete transformation compared to when she first arrived.

If she was a knife before, awkward and out of place because she forcibly imitated her sister.

So now she is a truly forged, poison-soaked, peerless deadly blade!

Although she still had that petite figure and wore that slightly ill-fitting purple lace nightgown, she exuded a chilling and malevolent aura simply by standing there quietly.

"good."

Lynn's voice roused her from her meditation.

Shinobu Kocho suddenly opened her eyes. All the coldness and sharpness in her amethyst-like eyes melted away the moment she saw Lynn, transforming into the purest, almost fanatical, worship and trust.

"teacher!"
