There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Li Nian scratched his hair awkwardly, but soon decided not to care about it. After all, there was still a long time to live and there would be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tapping his back gently. He turned around and saw a petite and cute girl who looked like a little animal looking at him timidly.

"Are you really classmate Li Nian?"

It seemed that his conversation with Sato was overheard.

Li Nian thought to himself that he couldn't fail again this time and smiled warmly.

"Well, maybe you've changed a lot. I can't recognize you anymore. Is it the same for Totsuka-san?"

"Indeed, I can hardly recognize you...By the way, Li Nian, you actually remember my name? I'm so happy!"

It seemed that it was a very happy thing for Li Nian to call her name. The girl smiled sweetly, which immediately made Li Nian have the illusion of seeing flowers blooming.

Although she said that Li Nian actually remembered her name, as if she thought of herself as an insignificant person, in fact, it was not the case at all. The full name of this girl was Totsuka Ayaka. She was petite and cute with a gentle personality. She could chat with anyone and was very popular in the class. She belonged to a very conspicuous class.

She didn't seem to have any prejudice against her predecessor, which made Li Nian feel good about her. She smiled and said, "That's not the case. How could I not even remember her name after being in the same class for a year and a half?"

——"I clearly didn't remember his name..."

Sato muttered something, which was caught by Li Nian's sharp hearing. His eyebrows twitched on his smiling face. However, he decided to ignore it for the time being.

Totsuka tapped his chin, thinking about something, and said softly as if recalling something: "How should I put it? Because classmate Li Nian doesn't seem to like getting close to others. I never had a chance to talk to you before, and I thought you were the type who wouldn't care about others."

"I'm really sorry for any offense I've caused before. I only recently realized that was not a good idea, so I tried to make some changes during the summer vacation."

"Is that so... Indeed, you have changed a lot! You look much more energetic and seem to have become stronger. Have you worked out hard during the summer vacation?"

As soon as this topic was brought up, Totsuka stared at Li Nian with flickering eyes, and his expression seemed to be a little... envious?

It seems that Totsuka thinks that the changes in Li Nian's body are due to the exercise she had during the summer vacation... Li Nian understood that this was the logic of a normal person, and she had no intention of explaining the truth to anyone, so she nodded and she let out a small exclamation, and raised her eyes slightly to look at Li Nian as if she was looking up at a huge existence, and seemed to have imagined more, and continued with a tone of admiration.

"To become like this in just two months, you must have gone through some very hard training, right?"

"……well enough."

"It seems to be really effective. I'm curious about your exercise method, Li Nian. Can you tell me? I'd like to refer to it."

She seemed to really want to ask about this, with an expectant expression. Li Nian felt a little scared by being looked at like that. He really couldn't come up with such an effective training method, so he could only say a few vague words.

"Nothing else, just control your diet and exercise more... Girls are also interested in exercise?"

Totsuka was stunned and suddenly showed a sad expression.

"...I, but as a boy...do I look so weak?"

Li Nian's actions and thoughts stopped for a moment, and he suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Totsuka looked at his expression and smiled bitterly.

"That's why I want to become stronger."

Li Nian was silent for a while, and looked up and down at the person in front of him in disbelief, only to find that although the child was wearing the same uniform sportswear for both boys and girls, and was petite and cute, and looked like a girl, she did have an Adam's apple and her chest was flat.

He suddenly entered a state of clairvoyance and saw the strong "yang energy" on Totsuka's body. Only then did he confirm with difficulty that the person in front of him was really a cute boy.

This made Li Nian very embarrassed and speechless for a moment. He had just emphasized the fact that they had been in the same class for a long time and pretended that he had a deep impression of Totsuka, but he even got the other person's gender wrong.

"It's okay. I'm used to it."

Totsuka seemed to see Li Nian's embarrassment, and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care about it. He blinked his eyes and said, "Anyway, now Li Nian knows who I am. Please give me more advice in the future?"

Totsuka said as he held out his hand.

Li Nian understood and shook hands with him.

"Please give me more advice."

The conversation with Totsuka was a good start. It was the first person Li Nian got to know in the class besides Aki. She thought it was a good start.

The conversation taking place in this corner seemed to have been noticed by someone and spread among whispers. The whole class was gradually realizing who this strange guy was.

"Is this true? He is Li Nian?"

"You said you trained during the summer vacation? What kind of hell training did you do?"

"Actually, you went for plastic surgery, right?"

Yuigahama and Hikigaya also heard these words, but they found it difficult to connect this person with the inconspicuous Li Nian in the class in the past.

After that, people came into the classroom in twos and threes until the last seat was filled. When everyone was present, Mr. Hiratsuka coughed and began to talk.

It is the first day of school after the summer vacation. There is not much to do. Today the school mainly arranges a routine opening ceremony for the students, and then a school-wide cleaning. After that, they can go home. Classes will officially start tomorrow.

All the teachers and students in the school gathered in the gymnasium and received a speech from the principal, which was basically the same old stuff asking students to correct their study attitude after the holidays. Li Nian was somewhat interested at first, but soon got bored with the meaningless long-winded speech and simply closed his eyes to rest.

After enduring the opening ceremony, the classes returned to the classroom and started cleaning.

An Yi took this opportunity to move closer.

"Have you read that book these days? Were you moved to tears?"

He started by excitedly asking Li Nian about her thoughts on "Love Metronome".

"It's a masterpiece. I'm sold on your recommendation."

"Yeah! I knew I would understand you if you said that."

Hearing Li Nian's high praise for the work he recommended, An Yi immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'll return the book to you later."

"Didn't I tell you? If you like it, I'll give it to you. Compared to getting like-minded companions, spending a few thousand dollars is nothing."

"Then no need."

"Well, just take it. It's originally a set for missionary use. I bought it with the intention of giving it away."

Li Nian shook his head and did not give in on this matter.

"No, I will buy you a new set later. I will accept these books. I just think this is the support I need to give to the works I like. You don't need to say anything more."

For Li Nian, this is a matter of personal principle, which he believes is the most basic respect for the author's labor results.

An Yi was deeply moved by his reaction.

"You... aren't you more reasonable than I thought?! Okay, I won't say any more."

An Yi suddenly lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice with a serious expression.

"For you like this, I decided to tell you a good news."

"what?"

"There will be a autograph session for Kasumi Shiko-sensei this weekend. Are you interested?"

Li Nian was actually interested.

For the parents who like the work, the opportunity to see its true appearance is of course very interesting.

An Yi brought up this topic just to ask him if he wanted to go. After Li Nian asked him about the specific time of the autograph session, he found that it did not conflict with his part-time job that day, so he readily agreed.

"That's a deal!"

After sending An Yi back, Li Nian was about to continue mopping the floor when a nervous voice rang out as if seizing this opportunity.

"Is it... Li Nian?"

He looked up and saw Yuigahama walking up to him. She clenched the rag in her hand nervously, looked at him nervously, and called out his name to confirm.

"…I'm Li Nian, nice to see you again, Yuigahama."

"U-Um, thank you very much for what happened this morning."

I knew she was here to talk about what happened this morning.

Li Nian noticed that he was coming from Hikigaya and had obviously thanked him before, so she smiled at her politely.

"Don't keep talking about such trivial matters... Excuse me, I need to go wash the mop."

Li Nian walked past her holding a mop, making it clear that she didn't want to talk about this matter anymore.

Chapter 27: First Encounter with a Monster

After completing the cleaning of the classroom, the school had no more arrangements for the students. Mr. Hiratsuka briefly emphasized that students were not allowed to be late for class tomorrow and then dismissed the class.

Li Nian packed up her things, refused An Yi's request to go with her, and left the school.

After he left the school gate, he walked towards Takasago Bookstore, ready to go to work, but after walking for a distance, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and felt a cold chill.

It was the "heart's eyes" that reacted, sensing some undisguised malice directed against itself.

Li Nian immediately stopped and looked around with a frown on his face. He saw some ruffian young men in groups of three or five not far away, slowly walking towards this side from several directions.

Everyone's eyes were looking at him with malicious and mocking smiles on their faces. While blocking the roads in several directions, they gathered around him, Li Nian.

Li Nian saw three familiar faces in one of the groups and his eyes narrowed slightly. His mind raced and he figured out the whole thing in an instant. A sneer appeared on his lips, and he knew that the current situation was caused by some old acquaintances from the third grade who came to visit him again.

It seems that even though they were beaten so badly, they still couldn't learn their lesson, and they gathered a group of accomplices to cause trouble for him. Don't mention it, looking at the number of people, the momentum is quite huge.

“…It’s also a fixed plot.”

Li Nian felt very troubled and sighed softly, but he picked up his schoolbag calmly and walked towards one of the small groups in front of him, which consisted of three old acquaintances and another strange tall man.

When the distance was shortened to two meters, both sides stopped at the same time and confronted each other.

Only a few days had passed, and the three men's injuries had not yet fully recovered. The injured parts of their fingers and faces were wrapped in bandages and plasters, and they looked very miserable.

They glared at the instigator of all this fiercely. Seeing that Li Nian understood the situation and walked up to them fearlessly, still with that calm and fearless look, the red-haired man's eyes became even gloomier and he said coldly.

"You are still so arrogant now, you will cry later. Let's see where you will run this time!"

Li Nian found it funny and glanced at him.

"I didn't run away last time. Didn't I just quietly let you three surround me?"

This retort obviously hit the nail on the head, reminding Red Hair of the painful experience of the three of them being beaten by him alone. His face turned pale and blue, and he was about to shout twice more, but he heard the tall man standing in front of them coldly say, "Shut up."

The red-haired man shut up in response, with an unconvinced expression on his face, but he still didn't say anything. Li Nian then looked thoughtfully at the tall man standing in front of the three people.

The three third-year students standing obediently behind him like good little brothers made him realize that this guy should be the leader.

The tall man was looking at the boy who was walking towards him without dodging or avoiding with great interest.

The boy, carrying a schoolbag and wearing a neat school uniform, had a straight back and was tall and big, but he looked quite gentle. He did not look like the brutal man his subordinates had described as someone who could fight three people at once and beat them to a pulp.

"But you look pretty good..."

"Are you the leader of this group of guys?"

Li Nian interrupted him and asked him directly for confirmation.

"...Yes, I am." The man frowned unhappily: "Boy, you know how to interrupt others--"

Before he could finish his words, Li Nian suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked him without saying a word.

The movement was too fast and it happened too suddenly. The big man had no time to react and was kicked hard in the stomach. It was as if he was hit by a car. His body was immediately bent into a "》" shape. The huge force sent him flying backwards like a cannonball, and also knocked away the red-haired man behind him.

This incident happened so suddenly that the remaining two people were stunned with fear.

Li Nian put down his right foot and said coldly.

"Then there's no need to keep talking and wasting everyone's time."

Yes, he was in a hurry to work and had no time to waste with these guys. From the beginning, he had made up his mind to deal with them quickly, so when he heard the man admit that he was the leader, he kicked him directly, following the principle of killing the boss first and kicking him away.

But what he didn't expect was that the man was kicked so hard by him that he flew more than ten meters away, and the red-haired man who was knocked away fell to the ground unconscious. He himself fell heavily to the ground and rolled twice, and actually struggled to get up.

This surprised Li Nian slightly.

"How can it be……"

He didn't want to put in too much effort, so the kick just now stimulated the spiritual power in his body a little, and entered a state of physical strengthening. He was confident that he could kick anyone's consciousness away. He planned to defeat the enemy with one move, and ordinary people would not be able to take it.

But the man did catch it. Although he didn't seem to be uninjured and was holding his stomach in pain, he did climb up and was conscious.

After receiving this solid kick, the man looked at Li Nian again, whose face was already filled with fear, and he uttered a puzzled voice with difficulty.

"Are you... an exorcist?"

Li Nian was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt some unusual aura emanating from this man. He frowned suddenly, his mind moved slightly, and he immediately entered the state of clairvoyance. When he looked at the man again, he was immediately shocked by the real appearance of this guy.

"It's a monster?!"

Yes, with his spiritual vision, what Li Nian saw was the face of a rat!
