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

Li Nian looked away at the scenery outside, pretending not to hear anything. He thought to himself that the female teacher's voice was soft and sounded very hypnotic. There were more people sleeping in her class than in other classes, so why was she only staring at him?

Then I heard Mr. Hiratsuka add one more sentence.

"I'm talking about you, Li Nian. Not only Teacher Xiaochun, but I heard that you sleep well in other classes as well?"

Li Nian was shocked. She didn't expect that she would be reported by multiple teachers at the same time.

Hiratsuka-sensei looked at him, worry evident in his gaze.

What actually happened was that when she came to the office this morning, she heard Koharu, who taught math, complaining to Chihiro.

"I'm telling you~~ That student named Li Nian in Xiaojing's class fell asleep as soon as my class started. It seems like he has no interest in me at all. I'm so disappointed. He suddenly turned into a handsome guy with temperament recently. I feel like I'm barely within my defense range..."

As soon as the issue of Li Nian sleeping in class was mentioned, it immediately resonated with other teachers.

"Is it that the guy in Hiratsuka-sensei's class who seems to have changed recently is also sleeping in Shirayama-sensei's class?"

"It's the same in my chemistry class. Although I didn't have much presence before, at least I seemed to be studying hard..."

"Me too, me too. What makes me most angry is that he was able to answer the questions even when I asked him to come to the stage. What on earth is going on with that student?"

Then Mr. Hiratsuka learned about Li Nian's recent class situation.

Li Nian is not the only problem student in this class. Sleeping in class is actually just a small problem, but considering his special situation, Mr. Hiratsuka can't help but have some bad associations.

So now, she said.

"Come to my office during lunch break. I want to ask you something."

Unable to pretend to be deaf and dumb any longer, Li Nian turned his head helplessly and nodded.

Hiratsuka nodded, said the class was over, and left the classroom.

"…It's just a matter of time." Kato looked at Li Nian with some emotion, thinking that he deserved it.

"Xiao Jing criticized you, so you should be more careful next time." Totsuka has also noticed Li Nian's recent performance and kindly gave him a reminder.

"There's nothing I can do. I should be more honest these days." Li Nian nodded and said, but he didn't really care and didn't have any remorse. He certainly knew that "sleeping" in class was a bit inappropriate, and it seemed like bad behavior and disrespect for the teacher, but for him, it was not really slacking off, but using the time to do another kind of learning, which was necessary. On the other hand, he did not neglect the progress of the course.

He thought to himself that this exam was an opportunity. If he could show a good result to Teacher Hiratsuka, she would probably stop interfering.

Li Nian was not worried at all whether he could achieve such a good result.

As for whether he should restrain himself recently... Anyway, his mental control has reached a subtle level, and he can still use skills like "sleeping" with his eyes open.

"Deserved it."

A gloating sneer came from the side, it was Gogen's gloating muttering.

Li Nian glanced sideways.

"What are you laughing at? You might be one of the people Hiratsuka-sensei is talking about."

Wu Geng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away guiltily.

Indeed, every morning these days, she looked sleep deprived, with obvious dark circles around her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't sleep well at night. She was also among those who took classes to make up for their sleep.

"Speaking of which, what do you do at night...I'm sorry for saying such nonsense."

Li Nian saw the black book on her desk and the pen she was still holding, and knew that she must have been busy revising the book these days, so she changed the question and asked, "You've worked hard? But it's only less than 200,000 words, how come you haven't finished revising it after so long?"

When Li Nian asked about the progress of the article revision, Wu Geng finally turned around and looked at him. A hint of pride appeared on his pale face, and he answered straightforwardly.

"It's almost done. Wait till you can take it back."

"Are you going to show it to me in the end?"

"... Humph, I will ask others to watch it. I believe that this time it will definitely receive good reviews from the public. By then, even the slightest voice of resistance will be nothing more than a wave on the sea."

It seems that Wu Geng has been brooding over his negative reviews, and the waves on the sea have been stirred up. Li Nian snorted with amusement.

"If you can really get good reviews from the public, how can I criticize you again? I hope that the quality can really be that good... But I am more curious, where did you find the "public"? Are you determined not to hide it and plan to post it online?"

Li Nian asked curiously. Originally, the only way to expose a novel after it was written was to publish it online, besides submitting it for publication. But Wu Geng didn't seem to do that before, so she had to come to him for his evaluation. She was scolded by him and acted as if it was the first time someone said that to her. Li Nian thought she was too shy to let others read it. Could it be that she had a change of heart now?

"...Not really." As if it was a little difficult to say, Wu Geng hesitated for a moment before speaking softly. "I was going to submit this manuscript to the recent collection of essays in the library, and I don't want to post it online."

"Want to submit an article?!"

Li Nian was a little surprised when he first heard it, but after thinking about it, he felt it was natural.

Unlike the domestic online literature industry he knew, the survival of Japanese light novels still mainly relies on the physical book market. Submission - acceptance - refined publication is the most normal path. Of course, there are corresponding novel submission websites on the Internet, and they are quite popular, but there is no payment system that can support the authors. It is just a platform to increase fame. In the end, they still have to wait for an editor's appreciation, and then use a wave of popularity to return to the right path of physical book publishing.

Wu Geng said that if she didn't write for fun, then submitting her writing to others was almost her inevitable choice. She was not ashamed to post online, but she gave up this path for this reason.

Realizing this, Li Nian's eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

This was an area he had never touched upon, but he knew that submitting an essay to an essay competition was like a thousand troops trying to cross a single-plank bridge, and it was even harder to stand out than writing for the Internet... He thought about it, but in the end did not say it out loud, and decided to avoid the topic and asked.

"By the way, if you're not going to post it online, where are you going to find the public to read your book?"

Wu Geng, however, looked as if he knew you would ask this, and puffed out his chest fearlessly.

"A friend of mine said that he could get a truly professional evaluation from a certain society." She added sarcastically, "It certainly sounds better than an amateur one."

"Why do I feel that it is unreliable in every sense..."

"Humph, you'll know when you get there."

"Then keep going, and tell me when you get good news."

Li Nian waved his hand. At worst, he would have to wait until that damn expert finished reviewing the manuscript before he could see the original manuscript after the five revisions. He had nothing to do during this period of time.

Wu Geng looked at him dissatisfiedly, but said.

"What nonsense! Of course you have to go with me."

Chapter 86: Incoming Call

"Ah, why do I have to go too?" Li Nian was puzzled.

Wu Xiao's face turned slightly red. She was too embarrassed to face those strangers alone - of course she would not say this reason. She avoided his gaze and snorted in a pretentious manner.

"...Humph, I want you to witness my ascension with your own eyes!"

...Why don’t you go to heaven?

The meaning of "sublimation" probably refers to the revision of the article. She really dared to use this adjective. Isn't this five updates too high? Li Nian really didn't believe that she could reach that level by revising the article.

"Don't let that 'expert' you mentioned criticize you and make you cry...Okay, if I'm free at that time, I can go with you."

Li Nian thought about it and nodded to agree to Wu Geng's request to go with him, because he was indeed a little curious about who the so-called expert Wu Geng was talking about was, and he wouldn't mind running over to take a look when the time comes.

"That's right." Wu Geng nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something and asked out of the blue, "By the way, what about you? Are you done?"

"What?" Li Nian was at a loss, not knowing what Wu Geng was asking.

"I'm asking about your progress." Wu Geng explained unhappily, and then continued, "Except for the first day, I haven't seen you writing anything? Are you really finishing your novel?"

Li Nian then realized that she was asking about the progress of his novel writing and was silent for a moment.

Wu Geng was right. Li Nian really hadn't been writing properly these days because of the Nurarihyon incident. The leisure time he had originally planned to write that day was also discarded. Because he was still brooding over the defeat, Li Nian finally went to practice. Once he put it down, he lost the opportunity to pick it up again. For several days, Li Nian didn't practice his original idea of ​​writing something.

Li Nian's momentary silence was caught, and Wu Geng keenly realized its meaning, frowning in dissatisfaction.

"Could it be that they gave up halfway?"

Li Nian sighed, scratched his chin, and looked a little troubled.

"Well...I'm a bit busy, too."

"That's a great excuse." Wu Geng didn't think that someone who slept in class all day could be that busy. He realized what he said and showed a sarcastic expression: "How dare you say you work harder than me?"

Li Nian once said meaningfully that she had worked harder, longer and had more experience than Wu Geng. Now that she is being criticized like this, it is really difficult for her to refute.

After thinking about it, he nodded and admitted it, smiling bitterly.

"...That's true. Okay, I'll write the beginning of this in the next two days."

Wu Geng thought this was okay, but he still said something unforgiving: "Can you really be responsible for the quality of the article you rushed out?"

Li Nian thought about it seriously before nodding and answering the question: "Yes."

If it were the old him, while being responsible for quality, he would consider every word and his efficiency would be very low. He couldn't say how much he could write in two days. But now, he is very confident in his concentration and efficiency. It is not impossible for him to write a prologue of about 20,000 words in two nights. Anyway, his ideas have already been sorted out.

"Hmph, so confident?" Wu Geng sneered, not believing it at all.

Li Nian suddenly had an idea and said maliciously, "That's just right. Why don't we show them to your group of experts and let you experience what it means that there is no harm without comparison?"

Wu Geng narrowed his eyes immediately.

This was undoubtedly a competing proposal, and Li Nian's provocative statement made her very unhappy, so she responded coldly.

"That's exactly what I want. This time you came to me on your own initiative, so just wait to be counterattacked and utterly destroyed!"

This silly kid took the bait after just a little teasing. He is as strong-willed as ever. Li Nian shook his head secretly in his heart.

It is indeed a good opportunity. At the beginning, Li Nian deliberately chose the same subject matter as Wu Geng, with the intention of "setting a correct example for her".

This may sound like a very arrogant idea at first, but Li Nian was sure that he could avoid some of the toxic flaws in girls' novels. At that time, he felt that he could write higher quality articles - what's more, now, Li Nian knows that his concentration is better than before and his writing skills have improved.

"Unfortunately, I will definitely be the winner then." Li Nian said with a smile.

"You dare to say that when you haven't written anything yet." Wu Geng rolled his eyes and looked at Li Nian with disdain: "I feel relieved to see you so arrogant."

Li Nian shrugged. In fact, she had no intention of competing with her.

On the one hand, this is a kind of confidence that she can win. On the other hand, he thinks that if Wu Geng can really realize her shortcomings and correct them in the revision, it will be fine. If not, she should take a blow and have her arrogance curbed. If she can get an objective evaluation in the comparison, she will probably realize her own problems more clearly.

But Wu Geng was right, the prerequisite was that he, Li Nian, had to write something... Li Nian thought, since he had made a promise here, he had to spend some time writing the manuscript in the next two days.

Wu Geng wants to say something.

——“Buzz——”

The silent phone vibrated in Li Nian's pocket. Suddenly, a call came in. Li Nian took out the phone and saw that it was an unknown call.

The first thing he thought of was a sales call, but Li Nian still answered it to confirm it first.

As soon as the phone was connected, a gentle yet stern female voice came from the other end.

"Hello. Is this Mr. Li Nian?"

"it's me?"

"I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly. You should still be in class, right?"

This sentence made Li Nian alert. How did this person know that I was a student? It seemed that he knew my detailed information? He immediately asked with caution and doubt: "Who are you?"

"It's time for me to introduce myself... I'm a member of the Onmyoji Bureau, a national first-class demon exorcist, Jinguji Ayame."

The visitor stated his identity in a calm voice and added another sentence.

"Maybe you can understand it better, Mr. Li. I am Isayama Yomi's boss. I was the one who approved your Exorcist Qualification Certificate."

Li Nian was suddenly startled.

Isayama's boss in the Onmyoji Bureau? Calling at this time?

Li Nian was already vaguely aware of the meaning of this phone call, and subconsciously looked up and looked around.

Only Wu Geng looked at him in confusion.

Knowing that the classroom was not a suitable place to talk about things, Li Nian said, "Wait a moment." He immediately left his seat and walked out of the classroom. After he went out, he looked around and found a secluded corner in the corridor. He walked over there and said, "Now I can talk, Miss Jinguji... Is that you? What can I do for you?"

"Let's get straight to the point. Although you may not be free right now, Mr. Li, this happened suddenly. I still want to ask you to overcome all difficulties and come to my place."

Chapter 87 Dealing with the First Spiritual Disaster

It is quite sudden. We are still in class here.

But things have their priorities. Miss Jinguji, who claims to be Huang Quan's boss, has said this to this extent, and it seems that she is going to entrust this is the first job here. Li Nian didn't weigh the pros and cons for long after listening, and replied decisively, "I understand."

The other party gave a place name. When Li Nian heard that they were going to another city and the drive would take two hours, he immediately smiled bitterly, but did not complain. He just said that he would get there as soon as possible.

"Please let me know before the train arrives and someone will pick you up. We'll discuss the details once we get here. Someone will be waiting for you there."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Li Nian put away his phone. At this time, the bell rang and the break was over. Li Nian looked at the students who returned to the classroom from outside the corridor and knew that he would not have to attend the class today because of this coming and going.

As Teacher Hiratsuka had instructed him to report to the office during lunch break, he definitely couldn't go. Thinking about the fact that he not only had to stand her up but also had to skip a day's class after having just been warned once, Li Nian could already imagine how angry that person would be and couldn't help but sigh.

But for now he decided to set off immediately.
