The next morning, Sobu High School, Class 2-F.
"Wow--" The back door of the classroom was lazily opened.
Lin Xiao walked into the classroom with a schoolbag on his back and a head of messy hair that had not been completely combed, yawning. At this time, the first class had already started for a full twenty minutes.
The boys in Class F who were still drowsy at first gasped when they saw Lin Xiao dare to come in at this time and Earth Flow came in so arrogantly, and their sleepy eyes all widened!
Because, the teacher in the first class today is none other than the older and passionate female teacher known throughout the school for her "Iron Fist Sanction" - Shizuka Hiratsuka!
"It's over, it's over, this guy Lin Xiao is dead..."
"He just missed school for a week and was hunted down by Teacher Hiratsuka. Today he actually dares to be twenty minutes late?!"
"Teacher Hiratsuka's "Iron Fist of Justice" is already charging up, right? Everyone, be prepared to lower your heads to avoid blood splattering on us later."
The boys were whispering among themselves, and some even silently crossed themselves for Lin Xiao on their chests.
On the podium. Shizuka Hiratsuka held half a piece of chalk in his hand, turned his head, and looked straight at Lin Xiao who had just entered the door.
"Lin Xiao..." Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice was deep.
The whole class held their breath for a moment, waiting for the familiar roar and the fist that broke through the air.
However. Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the slightly sleepy face of Lin Xiao, and the huge red figure that broke through the atmosphere and blasted thousands of meters of meteorites in space suddenly appeared in his mind.
"This kid... just saved Japan in space, and maybe even saved the earth. How dare he still come to class this morning?" Shizuka Hiratsuka took a deep breath in his heart, and an indescribable respect and guilt arose spontaneously.
Under the horrified gaze of the whole class, Shizuka Hiratsuka not only did not get angry, but instead put down the chalk in his hand, and a gentle and even slightly concerned smile appeared on his originally stern face.
"Classmate Lin Xiao." Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice was so soft that it could drip water. "Last night... were you dealing with that "big trouble" again? It's really hard on you."
"Huh?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. He actually just stayed up late last night watching a show in the group and arguing with Ai Haibara.
But Shizuka Hiratsuka had obviously finished everything in her mind automatically. She pointed to the door of the classroom considerately:
"I see that you look a little tired. In fact, you don't have to force yourself to come to class today, and the knowledge points in this class are not important to you. How about... you go to your [All-Heavens Rescue Club] activity room first and have a good rest?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Class 2-F air froze in an instant.
There were more than 40 people in the class, their mouths were open, and their jaws collectively hit the desk.
The boys' eyes almost popped out, as if they saw aliens invading the earth in broad daylight!
"Teacher, are you awake???"
No! What the hell is going on?! That tigress Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was punished by running ten laps of the playground every minute he was late, actually asked Lin Xiao, who was twenty minutes late, in a motherly and kind tone, "Do you want to take a rest?"?!
This is a treatment that even a biological son cannot enjoy!!!
"This... teacher, isn't it good?" Lin Xiao touched his nose. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by the whole class with such "looking at you" eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with it! Your health is the most important thing! Go and rest quickly. I will not allow anyone to disturb you before lunch break!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka waved his hand and directly granted him the privilege. Are you kidding me? If this giant Buddha gets sick due to fatigue, who will cover up a meteorite next time?!
"... Okay, thank you teacher."
Lin Xiao suppressed a smile, and turned around and walked out of the classroom gracefully in the eyes of the whole class who doubted their life. Is this the privilege of Light Giant? Don't tell me, it's really cool.
A few minutes later, [All-Heavens Rescue Club] activity room.
Lin Xiao opened the door and lay down comfortably on his own sofa.
"Oh? Here comes the perverted god who skipped class." On the other side of the sofa, Ai Haibara, who was holding a medical journal, looked over:
"Did you use your remaining power of saving the world to defraud an ordinary single female teacher for the privilege of absenteeism? Your bottom line is really flexible."
"Xiao Dou Ya, this is called reasonable use of welfare." Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "Besides, I am here to provide protection for you people."
Ai Haibara paused slightly while turning the book. Although she said she was disgusted, she had to admit that sitting within ten meters of this boy was indeed the most peaceful moment she had ever felt in her life.
The two of them bickered in the activity room until the bell rang.
Not long after, the door to the activity room was pushed open. Yukino and Eriri finished their morning classes and walked in together.
"I heard from people in Class F that a certain great minister openly enjoyed Teacher Hiratsuka's privileged treatment this morning, and was even directly invited to the activity room to rest?"
Yukino put down his school bag and picked up the teapot gracefully. There was a hint of teasing in his cold voice. "Lin Xiao, classmate, if you continue to degenerate like this, I'm worried that you will degenerate from Light Giant to "squatting in the house of light."
"That's right! Why can you come and take a rest if you are late? I was punished for standing up after being two minutes late this morning!" Eriri complained angrily and sat down next to him.
Just when Lin Xiao was about to open his mouth to retort, "Dong, dong, dong." Someone knocked politely on the ajar door of the activity room.
"Um... Excuse me, is Senior Lin Xiao here?"
Outside the door, a cute-looking junior high school girl with short shoulder-length hair walked in. She was the sister of the great teacher - Komachi Hikigaya.
And behind Komachi, there were two boys.
One is Hachiman Hikigaya with dead fish eyes. The other is Ken Kaneki with slightly messy hair and deep fear and gratitude in his eyes.
"Komachi? There is also classmate Kaneki?" Eriri and Yukino were both stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that they would come over after class today.
Seeing Lin Xiao sitting on the sofa, Komachi's eyes turned red and he walked in directly.
"Senior Lin Xiao! Thank you so much!" Komachi bowed deeply to Lin Xiao, his voice trembling. "If it weren't for you, last night would really..."
Ken Kaneki took a deep breath and bowed at the same 90-degree angle. "Lin Xiao classmate! No...Lin Xiao benefactor! Thank you very much for last night."
Recalling the terrifying scene last night in that remote construction site, Rize Kamishiro suddenly turned into a monster and wanted to eat him. If it weren't for Lin Xiao's punch that was like a god descending from the earth, beating the monster directly into a blood mist, his current end would be unimaginable!
"I really don't know how to thank you. You saved my life..." Ken Kaneki's voice was choked with sobs. As a literary young man who is gentle to the core, this life-saving grace is as heavy as a mountain to him.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly."
Lin Xiao waved his hand helplessly and used the sofa cushions on the side to cushion the back of his head. "It's just a little effort. If you really want to thank me, just treat Komachi to a few more big meals in the future. After all, it was her keen intuition that discovered something was wrong with that ghoul."
Hikigaya scratched his hair awkwardly, stepped forward, and said in his awkward but sincere way:
"I, Hachiman Hikigaya, owe you a huge favor. If you [All-Heavens Rescue Club] need any errands or dirty work in the future, you can always come to me."
Seeing that this "self-destructing truck" teacher actually offered to help with the work, Lin Xiao and Yukino looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"There's no need for favors." Lin Xiao pointed to a pile of unorganized club activity sheets on the table. "But there is indeed some errand work. Since you are so free, help us fill out the club activity reports for the past few months."
"..."
The great teacher rolled his eyes and resigned himself to sitting next to him and working as a free coolie.
