Chapter 138 New Teacher
School day, inside the classroom.
"Ms. Arai is on maternity leave. I wonder what the new teacher will be like."
"I hope the new teacher can be kinder and not too strict."
A group of female students who were waiting for the new teacher to arrive were chattering non-stop. Their original head teacher was on maternity leave, and now the school has assigned a new head teacher.
"Jianzi, what kind of person do you think the new teacher will be?" Yurikawa Hana, who was sitting at the next table to Jianzi, asked her friend curiously.
"…The new teacher is fine."
Yotsuya Jianzi lay listlessly on the desk and responded weakly that she was so tired in the past few days that she could no longer muster any energy.
Ever since getting the Buddhist beads bracelet full of spiritual energy, Xia Yu has given her new training.
Just two days ago, they went to an abandoned tunnel. They heard that it was a famous mass grave and people nearby avoided it for fear of encountering ghosts.
Then they encountered a lot of ghosts, and there was no doubt that those ghosts were all hers.
After she killed most of the ordinary evil spirits, just like the inevitable BOSS encounter in a game, a very powerful evil spirit appeared.
It was an evil spirit that looked like it had been dismembered and then poured into the Tokyo Bay with mud. It had four or five twisted hands, and a bunch of iron chains were hanging under the bucket.
As soon as this evil spirit appeared, it directly swallowed up all the remaining ordinary evil spirits and activated the second stage on the spot before the fight even started. It had no martial ethics at all.
In the second stage of the oil barrel evil spirit, the upper part of the entire oil barrel cracks like a corolla, and the dead head inside is the pistil.
This scene frightened Jianzi so much that she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, she had been exorcising a lot of ghosts recently, and the durability of her tear glands had increased a lot. She would no longer be scared to tears by evil spirits of this degree.
Although the evil spirit was finally dealt with, she felt that her energy was almost exhausted.
Even now, when she thought back to what happened at that time, her body felt weak and achy again.
Mr. Xia also said that this is just the beginning. If you want to become a real psychic, you have to study hard.
When she thought about how much more studying she had to do, she wanted to cry. It was so difficult.
…
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing that her friend was listless, Yurikawa Hua worriedly touched Jianzi's forehead and asked with concern.
"No, I'm fine, it's just..."
Jianzi raised her eyelids, not knowing what to say. She couldn't say that she was so tired from exorcising ghosts that she looked so weak.
In order not to worry her friends, she was about to make up a lie when the girls' discussion suddenly stopped.
"Is this the new teacher?"
"Wow, that looks pretty refreshing."
Hearing the increasingly noisy discussion, Jianzi subconsciously turned her head to look, but after seeing clearly, her eyes were full of shock and a little panic.
"Since Ms. Arai is on maternity leave, I will be the homeroom teacher for this class starting today. My name is Yoshiyuki Tono, and I hope you will give me your guidance."
The new teacher walked in, wrote his name on the blackboard, and then introduced himself gently and kindly.
Seeing the new teacher's not bad appearance, the girls below also became excited and discussed the new teacher in a low voice. The discussion was full of excited "I can, I can..."
But in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, the new teacher was surrounded by the dark shadows of many cats. Those cats looked like evil spirits, with shadows of knives stuck in their bodies.
These shadows seemed to haunt the new teacher, constantly making silent roars in his ears.
Not good...
“That’s not good.”
Xia Yu's voice suddenly sounded beside Jianzi. The sudden voice made Jianzi tremble, but after realizing it was Xia Yu, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Xia, why are you walking without making any sound?"
“…”
As if realizing that she had asked a stupid question, Jianzi's face turned red.
Looking at this new teacher, Xia Yu, who had just returned from exterminating evil spirits , sighed: "It's incredible that he is possessed by so many animal spirits."
"So he is really a cat abuser?" Hearing this, Jianzi quietly covered his mouth with his hands and asked in a low voice to the person next to him.
"That's not the case."
After Xia Yu replied casually, he stepped forward and stroked the hybrid heads of the cat shadows with his tentacles. According to his aesthetic taste, these cats could still be classified as cute.
The black cat shadows were stroked by the tentacles, and they roared, it was unclear whether it was out of happiness or fear.
"Tsk, it really doesn't feel as comfortable as a real cat."
After stroking for a while, Xia Yu withdrew his tentacles in disappointment. After becoming an evil spirit, he couldn't even pet the cat. He felt really unhappy.
"Some ghosts will follow people out of sympathy. This teacher must have often encountered dead animals and felt sympathy for them, which is why he was possessed by the ghosts of these animals."
"He's just a possessed person, not an animal abuser."
After hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Jianzi looked at the group of cat shadows in disbelief. Are they possessed out of sympathy?
So, this teacher is actually a good person? Mr. Xia would not lie to him, so he was judging people by their appearance?
Jianzi felt a little uneasy. She thought she could judge the nature of some people based on the ghosts that possessed them, but now she was told that this judgment was not necessarily correct.
"So...did I blame the teacher wrongly?"
"Yotani-san? Yotani-san?"
"Eh?" Hearing someone calling him, Yotsuya Miko stood up suddenly, "I'm here!"
"Could you please read the text?" Yuanye Shanzhi asked, holding up the text.
“Okay…Okay.”
Although she answered like this, Jianzi was a little confused at the moment because she was distracted just now and didn't know which text to read.
"Oh, you should study hard first." Xia Yu stretched out his tentacle and pointed to the paragraph in the text.
…
After class, lunch time.
"Jianzi, why are you distracted in class?" Yurikawa Hua asked curiously while chewing bread on a lawn chair.
“Hehe…” Jianzi smiled awkwardly and did not answer.
"Because she was distracted in class." Xia Yu on the side answered quickly.
However, only Jianzi could hear his words from beginning to end, so no one answered him.
"It's nothing, Xiaohua, what kind of person do you think Mr. Tono is?" Jianzi asked.
"Hmm..." Yurikawaka chewed some bread and pointed at her chin with her index finger, as if in deep thought. "I feel like I've seen Mr. Tono somewhere before, but he seems like a good person."
“Huh~”
Hearing this, Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief. They had met Mr. Toono before, and he seemed to want to adopt an abandoned cat they found, but because of the cat's black shadow, she thought he was a bad person who abused cats, so she did not hand the abandoned cat over to him.
Fortunately, Xiaohua no longer remembers it, otherwise she would not know how to explain to Xiaohua why she was hostile to Teacher Toono.
