"Whew-" Lin Yi let out a long breath, his mouth twisting into a grin like a Black boxer's, and sneered inwardly. You thought you could ambush me with that pathetic little trick?!
But just as he closed the door, he faintly heard one of the new students inside say...
"Look at that dumbass, sneaking in and out like some fucking thief..."
Lin Yi: "..."
Forget it, forget it. We're not even on the same layer. No point stooping to their level...
He slammed the door shut with a bang!, then fixed his eyes on the Teachers' Office sign, walked over, and knocked.

Creak-
Lin Yi's knuckles had barely struck the door once when a mechanical vibration traveled through the handle from inside. Immediately afterward, the door opened from within...
Wisps of icy air seeped through the crack...
Crackle...
Like vapor escaping from liquid nitrogen, a sheet of white frost quietly spread out from the doorway.
Lin Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively drew his foot back.
The door slowly swung open, and the icy air continued spreading. The cold current felt as though it had blown in from the Siberian ice fields, making Lin Yi instinctively shield the upper half of his face with his hand.

"Whew..." Seeing the normal acrylic name badge, Lin Yi relaxed a little.
The badge representing her identity as "Head Teacher" was still there, so things weren't too bad.
