Chapter 50: Chapter 50 The main story begins
On Wednesday morning, Shi Chen and Nangong Nayue went to the private Cai Hai Academy together.
Although the private Saikai Academy does not have dormitories, it provides breakfast, but the teachers do not have breakfast, so students naturally do not have it.
Shi Chen didn't want to get up early in the morning to make breakfast, and Nangong Nayue didn't know how to do it, and she didn't want to go out to pack early in the morning, so the two of them went to the school cafeteria early to have breakfast.
We have to come to school anyway, and the school cafeteria has a wide variety of food and the food is not bad.
Although Nangong Nayue doesn't need to eat breakfast, she can experience the feeling of eating, the feeling of being full, and the deliciousness of food... otherwise she wouldn't like to drink black tea.
Having to go to work early in the morning is a painful experience, but it's different when you have someone to accompany you.
Along the way, Shichen and Nangong Nayue walked side by side, smiling all the time.
Nangong Nayue also noticed his appearance, but she did not teleport directly to school out of disgust. Instead, she ignored him and walked on her own.
When they arrived at school, they went to the cafeteria and got their meals separately.
It was not the first time for the two of them to come to the cafeteria for breakfast. They were quite familiar with the breakfast in the cafeteria, so they naturally chose food that suited their taste.
After Shichen finished his meal, he originally wanted to look for Nangong Nayue, but his attention was attracted by the wave of Sasaki Misaki who was already eating.
"Toki-kun!" Misaki Sasaki was still wearing a cheongsam. She sat on a double seat and waved with a smile on her face.
Shi Chen glanced at Nangong Nayue who was still picking food, and walked towards Cape Sasaki.
"Shi-kun, what a coincidence, you're here for breakfast too?"
"Teacher Sasa...this is not the first time we meet." Shi Chen curled the corner of his mouth.
"Oh~ I almost forgot, do you want to sit with me then?"
Shi Chen shook his head: "No, Sister Yue came with me."
"It's okay, let's sit here." Misaki Sasaki said, carrying her own plate and moving to the four-person seat next to her.
Shi Chen did not refuse this time and sat down opposite her.
Then Nangong Nayue came over and sat down next to Shichen.
"Why is this stupid dog here too?"
"Then Yue-chan, why don't you allow me to appear in the cafeteria?" Misaki Sasaki pouted and retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Why don't you eat at home? I remember you can cook, right?"
"It's no fun to eat alone, it's better to come to school to save trouble, and I can also have breakfast with Toki-kun."
"You are really hopeless."
"What? You won't allow me to express my feelings? Is it necessary to be so possessive?"
"Shut up! Eat your breakfast."
"Hmph~Are you angry out of shame?"
"I don't want to bother with you."
"..." Shichen was eating silently on the side.
He had no interest in getting involved in their quarrel. It wasn't the first time. In fact, they had a good relationship.
After breakfast, Shichen separated from Nangong Nayue and went to the office building of the middle school with Sasaki Misaki. However, before they left, he was warned not to have too much contact with Sasaki Misaki.
Really, does he look like such a casual man?
The morning passed quickly. Shichen was in the office, chatting with Sasaki Misaki, and then it was time for his class.
Physical education teachers have an easy job, and there are basically no physical education classes in the morning.
When the last get out of class was over, Shichen arrived at the playground first, but when the class was about to start, the students came over leisurely.
He wanted to ask what happened to Xiao Gucheng, but after looking around, he didn't find him.
"Yase, where is Xiao?" Toki asked Yase Motoki.
"Report to the teacher, Gu Cheng has asked for leave." Motoki Yase replied.
"Ask for leave?"
"Well, he said he was worried about his sister being alone and wanted to accompany her to leave Genkami Island. That guy must be a sister complex!"
"We've left Genkami Island..." Tokishi ignored Yaze Motoki's complaints and frowned.
Is it time yet?
If he remembered correctly, it was during this incident that the Fourth True Ancestor was about to awaken.
Then the Flame Feast will begin.
It's a pity that he can't be involved in such an important matter, but there is no other way. For him now, he can only risk his life.
Can I really only be a bystander?
It doesn't seem to be the case!
As Shichen pondered what was going to happen in the future, he suddenly thought of the possibility that would allow him to gain magical powers.
I don't know if the saint-like girl is here at this time.
...
"Teacher Shi, won't you play with us?"
"No, I don't want to sweat today."
"Oh well."
When he rejected Motoki Yazase's invitation, he was sitting by the basketball court with Asagi Aoi. Of course, there were many other little girls around him.
Today's Aoi Asagi was different from the previous physical education classes. She wore black-framed glasses, covering up her better features.
"Aren't you going to play?" Shi Chen asked the other girls.
"We don't want to sweat either."
"Yeah, it's getting hotter."
Although everyone said so, they surrounded Shichen and were almost leaning against him.
You are still a little girl, why is your mind full of such things?
"You have to sweat a lot, because I'm going to teach tennis in the next class." Shi Chen said with a smile.
"It's okay. It's okay to sweat once in a while."
"That's right. I'll sweat if I just walk a few steps."
"It's not like I don't need to take a shower."
"You guys..." Shi Chen shook his head, speechless.
The physical education class passed quickly, and Shichen and the girls kept watching Motoki Yase and others play basketball at the basketball court.
But he was basically the only one watching, and the girls' attention was on him.
The moments under the sun seemed to be radiant, with beautiful features, special temperament, and a smile on her face, which made them fall in love with her.
At a young age, when hormones are secreted and youth is ignorant, it is the time when people are fascinated by handsome men.
Moreover, Shichen is a physical education teacher, and this is Genshin Island, where humans and demons coexist. They have been knowledgeable since childhood, which makes their minds more open.
In other words, this world mainly worships power, otherwise these little girls would easily meet bad men.
Lan Yu Asagi stood next to the girls throughout the class and couldn't get close to Shi Chen to chat with him. After all, her personality in the class was that of a taciturn and cold girl.
The main reason was that she had been worried about her mother's condition.
But even if she broke her own personality, it was useless because she couldn't squeeze in.
After the physical education class, Lan Yu Asagi reluctantly followed everyone back, while Shi Chen went back to the office alone.
Misaki Sasaki had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Toki-kun, do you want to go to lunch together?"
"Okay." Shi Chen nodded in agreement.
"Great, let's go."
"OK."
Shi Chen followed Sasaki Misaki to the cafeteria. On the way, he sent a message to Nangong Nayue, asking her to come have lunch together.
But she had something to do and was no longer in school.
At this time, the Fourth True Ancestor had not made any movement, so Shichen was not worried about her.
And it just so happened that he could go somewhere after lunch. Anyway, it was his working hours now, so it wasn't like he was running around.
After having lunch with Sasaki Misaki, Tokito refused her suggestion to walk around the campus together, and left the school alone, heading to the back mountain of the school.
There is a small hill behind the private Saikai Academy, and there is a small park on it. It is rarely visited but surrounded by green trees.
When Shichen reached the foot of the hill, his extraordinary hearing detected the subtle but loud sound of a cat's meow.
The cat's meow is very soft, and you can tell it's not very old, maybe just a few months old. And in a place like this, it's probably a wild cat.
Shichen suppressed his expectations and walked up the hill little by little.
On the top of the hill, a small park surrounded by green trees came into view. Through the park, Shichen saw a gray building that had become a ruin.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
The cat's meowing became more obvious.
Shichen walked through the small park and came to the ruined building, where he was attracted by the metal relief on the roof of the building.
It was a symbol formed by two snakes entwined together—the Herald's Staff.
This place was obviously originally a church.
"Um...you are...?"
At this moment, Shi Chen was attracted by a gentle questioning voice and couldn't help but look over.
The head of silver hair as white as snow filled his eyes.
