Qin Siyang returned to school with Li Tianming.
It was already nighttime, and the school was deserted.
The school gates were locked, too.
That was no obstacle to two Sequence Ability Users.
With a few leaps, they vaulted over the gates and entered the campus.
"Principal Li, do you think the teacher checking the surveillance footage tomorrow will get a fright when he sees us?"
"I'm the principal. What could he say? You, though, covered in blood like that-you really do look frightening."
Qin Siyang looked down at his Cold-Proof Suit. The bloodstains had already dried.

It looked like a camouflage uniform with its colors shifted.

"...Just how much did you look at?"
"Not much. But you're always so refined, Principal, and your clothes are always spotless. You're a clean freak. So there should be somewhere to shower in your office, right?"
"...Fine. Behind the bookcase in my office. I had someone put in a bathroom."
"Mm, I knew it. Thanks, Principal."
"You certainly don't stand on ceremony. Remember to clean up afterward."

After giving him a couple more reminders, Li Tianming left with the folder
