"The assessment is over."
"How's the situation? Did you see anything?"
"I can't see anything."
"is that so……"
"However, let's just assume that he really has the ability to defeat the great monster and give him tasks to do."
"...I understand. I will inform them."
This man's words determined Li Nian's evaluation in the Yin-Yang Bureau's work system, causing him to receive a drastic upward update, which shortened the process of accumulating actual performance that he needed to go through as a new exorcist.
If Li Nian knew that the man was actually such a big shot, she would definitely not be so negligent.
However, exorcists are a group that values strength above all else, and the man made the consideration based on Li Nian's record of exorcising Kidomaru. As a result, he simply put Li Nian in the right position.
Li Nian hadn't realized yet that his future work had been profoundly affected by this sentence. He returned to the police officer's car and asked him to take him to the station, hurrying back to Chiba.
Sitting in the car, Li Nian took out her cell phone and looked at the display. There were so many missed calls from Teacher Hiratsuka that she was about to explode. She knew that she was very angry because of his standing her up and skipping classes for so long.
If you calculate the time, if you go back now, school will probably be over, and it will be a problem whether you can catch up with your part-time job.
Thinking that I might have to face this situation again in the future, and being called out of town by a phone call, skipping classes frequently might become an inevitable trend.
At this time, Li Nian began to envy Isayama, who could use the excuse that his mother was seriously ill to skip classes frequently. He couldn't use that excuse because Mr. Hiratsuka knew his situation inside out, and it was impossible for him to find such a convenient excuse to ask for leave.
"…Maybe I should tell Mr. Hiratsuka about my identity?"
Chapter 89: No Explanation
Li Nian still called back and was quickly connected. A voice filled with deep anger came from the other end.
"You still remembered to call me and tell me you were still alive..."
Wow, this person is really angry.
"I can kill an enemy of that level in one blow, so of course I can come back alive." Li Nian laughed and answered half-jokingly.
Mr. Hiratsuka was very tactful and continued the topic with a sneer.
"So what? Are you going to say that the reason you stood me up during lunch break and skipped four classes was because you went to fight some unknown monster?"
"You guessed it right." Li Nian said admiringly.
"Stop joking and get back to school right now. Do you really think there's no one to discipline you?!" Teacher Hiratsuka ordered angrily.
"I'm heading to Chiba now, but I think school will be over by the time I get to school."
"Still looking for a reason?"
Teacher Hiratsuka didn't believe it at all. She probably thought that Li Nian's innocent skipping of classes was purely self-indulgence, and she didn't believe that he had a reason for it. So even though what Li Nian said was almost true, she didn't even have the patience to explore it further.
Li Nian smiled indifferently, thinking that it was time to get straight to the point, he straightened his expression and spoke seriously.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, I'll tell you a secret."
"what?!"
"Actually, I recently became an exorcist."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Li Nian thought she was frightened by such explosive news, but she heard Mr. Hiratsuka lower his voice and say, "Why don't I tell you a secret too?"
"what?"
"Actually, I am the successor of the Beio Shenquan."
"..."
Hiratsuka-sensei grinned.
"So I'm telling you, your death star is shining in the sky, don't think you can escape my judgment! Come back early and I can keep your body intact!"
After saying that, the call was hung up without any explanation.
——“Dudu”
Li Nian looked at her phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, remembering that Mr. Hiratsuka was secretly a passionate anime fan.
But anyway, it's natural not to believe it. My situation is too outrageous in every sense.
Li Nian put away his phone. It was unlikely and meaningless for him to go back to school to catch up with the class today. He decided to go to her tomorrow to talk it out.
……
……
The next day, Li Nian arrived at school earlier than usual and went straight to the office. Standing outside, she saw that Mr. Hiratsuka had already arrived. He seemed to be sleep-deprived and was rubbing his nose with his eyes closed.
He whispered "Excuse me", and Teacher Xiaochun, who was at the door, heard it. She looked up and saw that it was Li Nian. She screamed exaggeratedly and pointed at her.
"The problem student in Xiaojing's class!"
When Mr. Hiratsuka heard it, he noticed the commotion at the door. He was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and looked towards the door. He found that it was indeed Li Nian. The dejection on his face was immediately swept away. His eyes became as ferocious as a beast that found its prey, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I thought you had completely let yourself go, but it turns out you came to me to turn yourself in..."
Hiratsuka-sensei folded his arms and sat up straight, crossing his legs, with an expression that said, "It depends on what you are going to say."
Li Nian walked over and laughed with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Mr. Hiratsuka. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Who do you think made you angry? Huh?"
"Why get angry over such a small matter? It will only add more wrinkles to your face."
Teacher Hiratsuka touched his cheek subconsciously, then realized that he had overreacted and glared at Li Nian unhappily.
"It's just a small matter. Don't joke with me with a smile on your face. Don't you realize that you have made a mistake?"
"Just skip class."
"You still have such an indifferent attitude..."
Mr. Hiratsuka started to get angry again, gritting his teeth and rubbing his hands together.
"It seems that using the [Strike of Condemnation] to punish you is not enough. Do I have to use the [Final Strike] to punish you?"
Li Nian didn’t quite understand what this was all about, but he could still tell that Mr. Hiratsuka really wanted to hit him.
Seeing Li Nian being scolded, Teacher Xiaochun cheered happily.
"Hmph! Xiao Jing must have scolded you. This is the punishment from heaven for sleeping during someone else's class."
Teacher Qianxun glanced at him and said, "You are looked down upon by students, that's why he fell asleep in class."
"That's too much~ Isn't Chihiro on my side?"
Xiaochun puffed her cheeks like a child. This action suited her very well, even though she was already thirty years old.
"You two stop making trouble. I'm here to educate my students." Teacher Hiratsuka said to them, then turned to Li Nian, raised his fist, and said in a cold voice: "Are you ready?"
Li Nian was helpless, but he felt that he was thick-skinned and didn't mind being beaten, so he simply opened his hands.
"As long as you're happy."
Seeing Li Nian letting go of his belly and waiting for her to hit him, Teacher Hiratsuka was slightly startled. He stared at Li Nian for a few seconds, but finally let out a helpless sigh, put down his fist, the anger on his face dissipated, and he shook his head with a tired expression.
"You are like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water... You are not in a good state now. Do you not want to study anymore?"
Li Nian was confused when he was suddenly told that he didn't want to study, but after thinking about it, he understood why Mr. Hiratsuka thought so.
Whether it's skipping classes or sleeping in class, it's really not a big deal. Ms. Hiratsuka has a carefree personality and doesn't seem to care. She would remind and point out the problem, and correct it. It is her inevitable duty as a class teacher. But she pays attention to Li Nian to this extent and makes a big fuss about it. It seems that she has given him some extra thought because his parents are both deceased.
As expected, Hiratsuka-sensei continued with a disappointed tone.
"I'm sorry about your parents' affairs, but I don't think this is a reason for you to give up on yourself. Think about what you told me in the beginning. You said you'd grow up and become strong. Is this how you became strong? By indulging yourself and falling into depravity? I'm telling you, if you think this is how you become an adult, your understanding is too superficial!"
When Li Nian heard this, he knew that as he thought, Mr. Hiratsuka's thinking was indeed wrong.
But this is probably the normal idea. If a student whose parents have both passed away suddenly starts sleeping, skipping classes and attending classes every day, people will inevitably think of this.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, you have a misunderstanding... Can I explain it to you?"
"You explain, I'm listening."
Li Nian looked around, making sure not to be heard by the teachers over there, and whispered to Mr. Hiratsuka.
"I told you before that I became an exorcist..."
"Okay, stop talking." Teacher Hiratsuka waved his hand impatiently, feeling that Li Nian's explanation was just a cover-up.
Li Nian was speechless, knowing that it was time to come up with some solid evidence.
"Then look at this."
He took out a small black notebook from his pocket and placed it in front of Mr. Hiratsuka. Mr. Hiratsuka looked down at the big words "Exorcist Qualification Certificate" on it and raised his eyebrows.
Li Nian thought she should believe it, but Mr. Hiratsuka sneered and threw it back without even looking at it carefully.
"You lied all the time, and you even went out of your way to get your ID? You're really just learning bad habits..."
"..."
Li Nian felt like a boy in a story. When he told so many lies, no one believed him when he told the truth.
"What can I say about you?"
Teacher Hiratsuka felt more and more tired. He took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. He wanted to take a puff to relieve the anger caused by the disobedient students, and fumbled around for a lighter.
Li Nian lowered his body and moved closer.
"Stop talking. I'll light a cigarette for the boss."
A spark popped and the cigarette was lit. The student's action was so outrageous that Mr. Hiratsuka subconsciously said "thank you..." Then he realized something was wrong. He thought this guy also smoked and brought a lighter. He became angry again and wanted to scold him for this.
But when she looked at it, the words were stuck on her lips, because Li Nian didn't take a lighter, but the flame was flicked by her fingertips, burning in the air without any support.
Chapter 90 Negotiations Established
Mr. Hiratsuka was stunned for a while, his thinking was interrupted for two seconds, but he quickly calmed down and forced himself to find an explanation from common sense.
"You even learned a magic trick to trick me? I really hope you can put this effort into studying."
Mr. Hiratsuka sneered. Li Nian frowned when he heard it. Then he saw Mr. Hiratsuka taking a deep puff of the lit cigarette and about to reach over and shake it into the ashtray, when he suddenly had an idea.
"I'll bring it to you."
The ashtray suddenly floated up.
Teacher Hiratsuka was startled, and the hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and the ash fell onto her pants. She reacted and subconsciously tried to dodge, but found that the falling ash was fixed in the air by an invisible force. She was stunned, and then she saw the ashtray slowly floating over there. The ashes fell at the right time and just fell into the ashtray, completing the task. The ashtray slowly floated back to its original position.
Mr. Hiratsuka witnessed all this and turned to look at Li Nian in disbelief. He put down his finger that was pointing at the ashtray and said lightly.
"Do you need me to perform any magic tricks for you? I can do anything, such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, telekinesis, and resurrection. Which one do you want to see?"
As he spoke, he put his palms together and various phenomena changed. Sometimes flames burned, sometimes ice crystals formed, sometimes lightning flashed, and sometimes a black hole appeared.
Seeing such a fantastic sight, Mr. Hiratsuka's eyes twitched. He had to believe it and exclaimed in surprise.
"You are really retreating...!"
"stop."
Li Nian shouted in desperation, and an inexplicable force blocked Mr. Hiratsuka's next words from coming back into his throat. He used the power of words.
Teacher Chihiro and Teacher Koharu over there looked at this side in confusion, thinking that Teacher Hiratsuka and Li Nian had some dispute and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Mmmmmmm..."
Teacher Hiratsuka was horrified to find that she couldn't speak, so she grabbed her throat. Li Nian said helplessly in a low voice: "Teacher Hiratsuka, you only need to know this, please don't tell anyone else, especially Teacher Xiaochun, okay?"
Teacher Chihiro, Teacher Koharu, and Teacher Hiratsuka are a famous single trio in this grade and they have a very close relationship. Li Nian is really afraid that Teacher Hiratsuka will tell others. Teacher Chihiro won't talk about it, but Teacher Koharu is definitely a big mouth. Li Nian is sure that if this secret of his gets out, by lunch break the whole school will know that he is an exorcist.
He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to his surroundings after such a commotion.
Maybe there are people in this world who like to be famous, but Li Nian is definitely not one of them. Just thinking about how noisy the surroundings will become after his identity is exposed makes his head ache, so he doesn't want to tell any secrets, including the death of his parents.
