Chapter 10 Villainous Witch
Senior Three Teaching Building
Working life is always painful.
Bai Yuze lay on the table, drawing circles on the calendar with the tip of his pen.
"I'm so tired," he sighed.
"Why haven't we started our holiday yet...?"
Bai Yuze's lazy voice echoed in the office, and Hoshino Seri next door looked up at him several times.
When she saw that half an hour had passed and not a single test paper on the table had been corrected, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Senior Xiaobai...stop slacking off!"
"ah!?"
"Your class is next period, and you still haven't graded a single one of your test papers..."
Hoshino Seri's tone was very gentle.
But Bai Yuze inexplicably felt like a teacher criticizing a student for not doing their homework properly.
"Can I rest for another ten minutes... I'm so tired!" Bai Yuze said weakly, his head drooping.
"No, you have to go to class in half an hour." Hoshino Seri looked up at the time, then looked at her senior, Shiro, who looked like a salted fish, and sighed.
"Good times always fly by. By the way, Hoshino-sensei, is it time for get out of class to end now?"
"Yes, but that applies to students, not seniors..."
Before Hoshino Seri could finish speaking, Bai Yuze had already walked out of the office.
A few minutes later,
He brought along four excellent students... or more accurately, four free laborers.
In just half an hour, a whole stack of Lao Gao's Chinese test papers were graded.
Aside from the essay, he'll have to read it himself at his own pace.
Before leaving, Bai Yuze didn't forget to hand each of them a bottle of nutritional drink and some snacks.
As the four students left the office, their faces beamed with excitement.
Sitting opposite her, Hoshino Seri hesitated, but ultimately said nothing. Shiro-senpai was completely beyond saving...
When the school bell rang, Bai Yuze stood up, holding a glass in one hand.
He picked up the textbook on his desk and leisurely left the office.
Watching Bai Yuze leave the office, Hoshino Seri's gaze returned to her phone.
She went home yesterday afternoon and requested to be friends with the other person, but they didn't accept the request until the evening.
Having heard Xiaobai's account, she subconsciously assumed that the other person was a little girl who was having a fight with her brother and would be extremely indifferent to her, her brother's unfamiliar colleague.
She is also prepared for a protracted battle.
However, she was wrong. After she sent the message, "Hello, I am your brother's colleague, Teacher Xingye," the other person completely fell into a frenzy of learning.
From functions in the first year of high school to analytic geometry and derivatives in the second year, and then to differential equations in the third year...
She asked about all the top universities in the country, including which one she attended; what majors are suitable for girls, including her major; what beautiful scenery is on campus, including her favorite types of scenery; and even how good the food in the university cafeteria was, including her favorite vegetables and snacks...
This doesn't look like a rebellious teenage girl at all; it's more like a machine that solves a million "why" questions.
High school teaching building department
The girl who was so imposing and domineering in class just now...
The way she's crying now is so heart-wrenching, it's like she's about to cry her heart out.
The delicate young girl wiped away her tears, her eyes red and swollen, a pitiful sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
Chen Yuyi sat in her office chair. She had a very elegant demeanor, with jade-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.
He was leisurely drinking pure milk, smiling inexplicably, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned—a smile that suggested he had seen through everything.
As she cried, the girl's voice began to soften and her sobs lessened, because she realized that the captain and teacher who were supposed to cooperate with her in the performance were turning a blind eye and watching coldly.
How could she possibly write a 10,000-word self-criticism in one night? With an eight-hour workday and a word every 2.88 seconds, how could she possibly manage that?
The emergence of magical girls begins with the Black Tide Crisis.
The government also noticed that most of the magical girls were actually very young, or rather, they were just a group of students. Undoubtedly, these children lacked judgment, self-control, and discernment, and were extremely prone to going astray. Therefore, the government introduced a policy to assign most of the more educated magical girls to teach in every school in the city.
On the one hand, it allows underage magical girls to conceal their identities under the guidance and protection of their seniors, so as to balance training and learning as much as possible. On the other hand, it also allows older magical girls to better discover, cultivate, and train these promising magical girls.
According to the description by the magical elf Xiao Ai, Bai Youqing has an affinity of S for holy power and is naturally able to restrain and repel the abyss's energy, making her a rare and promising talent.
Overall, the future looks promising.
However, the future is the future; if we can't even grasp the present, how can we talk about the future?
"Have you cried enough?"
"I've cried enough."
"I'll give you a week to write the self-criticism. Your Green Ivy Star will be temporarily kept by me. Your main task during this time is to review your lessons. I'll take care of everything else with you over the summer."
Chen Yuyi swirled the milk in her glass, which shimmered with a pure white light.
Hearing that the deadline for the self-criticism had finally been extended, Bai Youqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When she handed the emerald green gemstone ring to Chen Yuyi, her eyes were filled with reluctance; she hadn't even had a chance to properly touch the Green Ivy Star yet.
The moment it was handed over,
She felt that she would have nightmares after returning home, and the scenes in her dreams would all be about handing in the Green Ivy Star today.
That's terrifying...
The good news is that Chen Yuyi won't be disciplining her in the next two months; the bad news is that she'll probably miss out on summer vacation.
Unconsciously, Bai Youqing's gaze toward Chen Yuyi carried a hint of resentment.
A glance from above instantly dispelled the resentment below; this was not just the pressure from a teacher to a student, but also the double pressure from a senior to a junior.
Faced with the new team member who had just joined, Chen Yuyi immediately understood the other party's little scheme.
Taking the Green Ivy Star back was also for the other party's good. Given the speed at which the other party gathers magic power, it's unknown when they will be able to repair the previously depleted Green Ivy Star.
Getting a magical spirit to have enough holy power to explain the reason is even more difficult.
"Alright, go back to your study room now. Don't daydream. Study hard and try to focus on your studies this semester."
"Why?"
Chen Yuyi coldly picked up a ballpoint pen and tapped Bai Youqing on the head.
"You're just a kid, why ask so many questions? Go back."
As the other person was about to leave the office, he solemnly instructed, "Yeqiu City has been a bit unsettled lately. You and your brother should try not to go out at night."
Bai Youqing paused, then nodded seriously.
Watching Bai Youqing leave, Chen Yuyi removed the textbooks from the table, revealing the appointment and transfer notice and the arbitrator's appointment and transfer notification that had been hidden underneath.
The fact that Yeqiu No. 1 Middle School made such a big fuss this time clearly shows that the higher-ups value Bai Youqing very much.
The name on the appointment letter was Ye Qiu, from No. 1 Middle School in the city. She was originally a teacher at Changya High School next door, but was later specially transferred here.
In addition, Ye Qiushi's deputy captain, who had been without a job for a long time, finally made a move.
The good news is that a vice-captain finally came to help.
The bad news is that, according to rumors, this deputy captain seems to be here to retire.
ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh.
He had originally wanted Xia Qing to take over the position to share his workload and pressure, but now things are different.
The pressure has increased instead of decreased.
Looking out at the azure sky, Chen Yuyi fell into deep thought.
Since the end of the Third Black Tide Crisis, Yeqiu City, as the frontline, has not experienced a single attack from a calamity beast for a long time.
This time, not only did they appear, but two calamity beasts appeared together, one of the [Meteorite] level and the other of the [Sunfall] level. What's worse, a powerful mysterious person also appeared. If it were a magical girl from another jurisdiction, that would be fine, but it's feared that she might be a witch from another evil force.
For example, the famous witch organization in Yeqiu City, the Villainess Witches.
These witches are not from the abyss, but rather magical girls who have gone astray due to a lack of proper guidance. Most of them have been consumed by power. The signing of magical contracts has granted these girls, who were originally just ordinary people, immense power. They enjoy the fame, power, and wealth that power brings. Every magical girl also knows that she must summon a magical artifact before the age of eighteen, or she will become an ordinary person. How can they, who have enjoyed 'extraordinary power', accept this?
They tried every possible method, and eventually they actually found a crooked and unorthodox way.
That is to hunt down former magical girls who were once allies, extract the Seed of Sorrow from their magical cores, and use the Seed of Sorrow to slightly increase the holy power in one's own magical core.
Through the accumulation of quantity, a qualitative change is promoted, thereby summoning the magic guide.
The side effects are also very obvious. Often, these magical girls will be tainted with the aura of the Seed of Sorrow. People around them will subconsciously hate them, and they are more likely to be corrupted by the abyss and fall into the form of inferior demon tamers, also known as "demon hunters".
During the Third Black Tide, the Abyss Beasts that actually caused damage to the magical girls were far less numerous than those of the Demon Hunters.
However, in recent years, with the country's swift, accurate, and ruthless crackdown and the introduction of relevant educational policies, many of these evil forces have been eliminated. Furthermore, under the country's propaganda, the Villainess Association has become like a rat crossing the street, falling into a state of being hated by everyone.
At the same time, their power shifted from the open to the shadows, and they generally did not easily expose themselves to the world.
Now, after hiding for half a year, these people have begun to show signs of activity in some public places again. Last night, a major murder case occurred on Nan Street in Guancheng District, Yeqiu City. Three idle people were dismembered with a huge weapon, and their deaths were extremely tragic.
This group of lunatics is a truly terrifying and repulsive existence; every time they appear, it's sure to be accompanied by an unknown conspiracy.
If the mysterious person who helped Xiaoqing is the former, that's fine; but if it's the latter, then things will be complicated!
Ugh, so frustrating!
Sitting in the chair, Chen Yuyi pressed her temples with two fingers, making circles, until finally it turned into a deep sigh.
