Teacher Plank, the Degenerate

Once he regained his senses, Planck was immediately annoyed.

"So what? It's good that she's awake!" Shibao waved his hand, indicating to Planck not to worry about such details. "So you should think of a way to bring Teacher Liu back! Teacher Liu might already be bewitched by a bunch of vixens!"

"What vixen or not, five minutes isn't even enough time to get to a hotel room."

Planck reached for a tissue to wipe the coffee spilled on her. Fortunately, she wasn't an ordinary person, so she didn't get burned or anything.

"... By the way, do I have anything on me?"

Planck rubbed his chest and looked at Shibao with some confusion.

She seemed to sense strange gazes.

"... No, it's nothing."

Shibao tried hard to look away from Planck's enormous chest—was this guy also a vixen who seduced Teacher Liu?

Chapter 139 Planck, the Scoundrel of a Teacher

Damn it! Can this world ever get any better?

Why are there so many annoying vixens around Teacher Liu?!

Shibao turned his head away in a huff, as if in a fit of pique.

"?"

Planck, who had just made himself another cup of coffee, looked at the unfortunate boy whose attitude towards him had suddenly changed drastically, with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong with this child?

This is probably what they call a generation gap... Well, not an age gap, but a gap between normal people and idiots—she, a seventeen-year-old and ninety-four-month-old girl, would never admit to an age gap!

Uh... wait a minute.

Planck suddenly remembered the strange look in Shibao's eyes earlier.

Oh dear~~ Could it be...?

Realizing something, Planck looked at Shibao with a smile.

"If you consider anyone with a bigger chest than you as an enemy, then Fu Hua, you'll be facing enemies all over the world."

Planck lifted his chest as if by accident.

"Ah~ my arms are so tired..."

"... Planck, do you want to fight?" Although she was determined not to look at the two unsightly things on Planck's chest, the other party's actions were so obvious that Shibao could not completely ignore them.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Fu Hua." Planck gave a gentle smile—but to Shibao, that smile was utterly repulsive.

That's just showing off! Shameful showing off! Bastard!

What's the point of having such a big chest? That thing can't overcome Earth's gravity! Can't overcome Earth's gravity—!

Not at all! It's just a weak creature that can't even overcome Earth's gravity!

I, Fu Hua, can defy gravity, so breasts are just useless burdens, and I'm not envious at all!

I'm not envious!

Absolutely not envious!

"... Miss Fu Hua, why are you floating up like that?" Planck looked at Shibao had already floated to the ceiling, with a strange expression.

"... I won."

Faced with Planck's question, Shibao paused for a moment before answering.

"I have already won."

Planck: "???"

What's that unlucky kid thinking now?

At least I could guess the answer from the context a moment ago, but now you've inexplicably floated to the ceiling and are saying you won... Are you trying to outdo Earth's gravity?

As expected, I still couldn't keep up with this kid's thought process at all.

This kid's thought process is even more baffling than Liesel's.

"In short, this is mine, a resounding victory."

"... No, let's put winning or losing aside for now. Can you tell me in which aspect we won?"

Even though Planck had a feeling he was going to get a stupid answer, his curiosity as a researcher still led Planck to ask.

Sometimes, seeing just how stupid someone really is can be a way to broaden your horizons.

Maybe if I learn more about this, I'll be able to keep up with the other person's thought process in the future?

... But then again, I don't want to be assimilated into an idiot myself, do I?

I don't want to be a fool or a loser right now...

"Well, as long as it's not some kind of curse about shrinking breasts, please tell me."

"... If I could, I really wish there were a curse that could shrink the breasts of everyone in the world."

"I've already said that, but that might curse 99% of the world's population—including men." Planck looked helpless.

"..."

Shibao's eyelids twitched— Planck was such a detestable guy, there was nothing to say about him.

What do you mean by cursing 99% of people, including men?!

This is utter slander!

There must be some, right?

Shibao reached out and touched his chest.

That's right, there is a little bit, you see, there is a little bit!

"Don't crush it." Planck looked at Shibao, who was squeezing against his chest with concern. "Or tell me what you won."

"...gravitational."

"Ha?"

"Earth's gravity."

Shibao said with a gloomy face— Planck's words had left her with no room for even the last bit of stubbornness.

"No matter what, those two lumps can't overcome Earth's gravity! Wait another thirty years! When you're old and yours starts to sag—!"

Shibao said with a rather self-deprecating tone.

"Um... well, although that's what I say, I'm actually ninety-six years old this year... no one knows exactly how long the effects of the Abyss White Flower will last."

Planck scratched his face, his expression a mixture of embarrassment and oddness.

Although the effect comes from the Zero-Rated Power Welwitschia, the Welwitschia acting on them should actually be called a "limit break".

Well, not the kind that's booming, but a proper breakthrough—normal Welwitschia "can only" completely heal a person who is seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"Of course, according to the theories that are currently available, my, or rather our, physiological condition has been locked at that time—to put it more directly, as long as we are not killed, we are basically considered immortal."

"Tsk."

Shibao let out a sound of genuine displeasure.

"Does a guy who has lived for over 50,000 years have the right to make such a sound?" Planck smirked.

"It's just a feeling, isn't it? It's pretty much the same as the Hypermutation Surgery." Shibao pouted. "If it weren't for the fusion of Honkai Beast genes, I might be much, much bigger by now."

After becoming Fusion Warrior, Fu Hua's physiology was locked at 17 years old... well, along with a certain part of her body.

The same applies to other Fusion Warrior, but immortality is a unique ability of Fu Hua —just like Kevin's freezing ability.

"... This kind of assumption is really quite disheartening."

Will it be very big?

Planck expressed skepticism—there were plenty of women with small breasts around her.

Or rather, all of her students had small breasts.

"... Why don't you become my student?" Planck, thinking of his group of students, suddenly had a wicked sense of amusement.

"What are you doing? I won't let you poach me! My only teacher is Teacher Liu." Shibao looked at Planck warily.

"What are you thinking? I'm not talking about a teacher who is like a father for life, but just an ordinary teacher in the classroom."

Planck glanced at the Shibao.

You want to be my proper apprentice? I don't want that!

Putting aside everything else, her true disciples who carried on her legacy— Einstein, Tesla, Schrödinger —have all made their mark on history.

If she were to pass on her mantle to this unfortunate child, she might ruin her reputation in her later years!

"And to be fair, I think you're more suited to be in my class—after all, it would be really awkward for someone as plain as you to be mixed in with Liu Bai —well, that's probably the only 'awkward' thing about you."

While mocking Shibao, Planck's expression was also a bit strange. Aside from the kids Cocolia raised, it seemed like everyone she knew in Anti-Entropy with small breasts was her student...

"What kind of class is this? A curse that makes breasts shrink?"

"... First of all, you, who previously wanted to curse all of humanity to shrink their breasts, have no right to criticize me."

Planck took a sip of his coffee. "Secondly, even if it did, it wouldn't work on you... And of course, lastly, how could such a curse exist in my classroom?"

"I suspect those two lumps of yours were stolen from your students... you disgraceful teacher." When Shibao said this, he no longer hid the envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes.

"...Then I'm really cheap as a teacher scoundrel." Planck's lips twitched.

(... Could it be that he actually has his own problems?)

Planck was so impressed by the Shibao that he began to doubt whether he actually possessed some kind of mystical power.

(No, this might be the prelude to me being led astray by this girl.)

Planck tapped his forehead to clear his head—how could she possibly have such unreliable mystical elements?

This brat's ability to assimilate is really strong...

"So, when is Liu Bai coming back...?"

Taking care of this kid is truly exhausting; his thought process jumps around too quickly, and he's always bursting with energy.

Planck thought back to when he first arrived, Liu Bai said he had something urgent to attend to, but now it seems he just wanted to go out and keep watch!

I just don't know who to go keep watch for...

"So you actually know how to get anxious, huh?"

When Liu Bai was mentioned, Shibao immediately forgot about the previous topic—although it wasn't exactly an interesting topic for Shibao anyway.

"When it comes to being anxious, I'm more anxious than you, okay?"

Planck glanced at Shibao —if this were Fu Hua herself, she definitely wouldn't say that, but she's just a newly born Herrscher, why are you in such a hurry?

"What's the rush, you 96-year-old girl?" Shibao suddenly became old-fashioned again, trying to outdo Planck in this respect.

"..."

Planck smirked, too lazy to reply to this brat.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, that guy Liu Bai should have run off to that maid again... Tsk, if it weren't for the fact that the Schicksal's communicator was hard to access, she would have wanted to go and cause Rita some trouble right now.

I'm so anxious!

What's there to be anxious about, you're just a young girl who doesn't even have the crisis of being a "leftover woman"?

Currently, there are three people around Liu Bai who have a "leftover woman crisis" complex. If we categorize them by severity, they are: Mobius, Planck, and Mei.

Oh, by the way, Mei just got over the single woman crisis right after she crawled out of her hibernation pod.

After all, Rita had said things like "over 50,000 years old" to her face, and with more free time, coupled with having seen Mobius's "leftover woman crisis" before, Mei quickly developed a "leftover woman consciousness" as well.

... I really don't know whether to say Rita did a lot of harm or Mobius did a lot of harm.

No, you might have already lost the moment you even have this "leftover woman" mentality.

Planck slumped on the sofa in a relaxed, lounging manner.
