The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Terrorist

Simo looked at the question with disdain. "Are you royalty? You think the imperial examination system is something you can buy and sell? You think it's a business just because you see the word 'sell'?"

"What? You don't know? You actually don't know?" Although Ximo didn't answer, and although Ximo's disdainful expression already said a lot, Koro-sensei still pretended to be stupid.

Koro-sensei's behavior was very flamboyant, which made Shimo very unhappy, especially when he found that the students around him were looking at him with eyes that said, "So you didn't know either."

This made Simo even more annoyed. In his anger, Simo spoke up: "That 'sell' doesn't mean selling things! 'Autumn Examination not selling' means..."

Just as Ximo was about to explain in detail, Koro-sensei suddenly interrupted, "It seems you really don't know what you're selling. It's okay, I won't laugh at you for that. It's about educating people."

Koro-sensei wouldn't let Shimo explain it out loud; he wanted Shimo to suffer in silence like this: "So, the next question is, why is the Chinese phrase '慎勿声' in the fifth sentence written like that?"

"Hey, octopus! That line is of course..."

Just as Shimo, who knew the answer, was about to answer Koro-sensei's question, he suddenly stopped, because the question was just too profound.

"Be careful not to make a sound"—these three words are easy to understand in context, but why would Koro-sensei suddenly ask himself this question in Chinese?

Could it be that he discovered the clue in the notes just now? Simo began to have doubts.

In the original story: because there was a hanged ghost harming people, the boatman advised the scholar not to make a sound, fearing that the ghost would find out and come to harm people.

Did Koro-sensei deliberately choose this ancient text to remind me? If I am the scholar and Koro-sensei is the boatman, then who is the "ghost" spying on them?

Is it the Japanese government or the United Nations constantly monitoring this place?

No, these are already known. I heard it when Karasuma broadcast from the monitoring room, so there's no need for Koro-sensei to go to such lengths to remind me.

“When a hanged ghost seeks a replacement, it often behaves in this manner; I have seen it many times. There must be someone in this family who is about to hang themselves. Be careful not to make a sound, lest the ghost be discovered by people and shift the blame onto them.”

The hanged ghost must have been not far away, otherwise the scholar and the boatman would not have been able to "see" the ghost's haunting, and would have been worried that "the ghost would be noticed by people."

So who exactly is it?

Wait! Something's not right!

As Simo was deep in thought, a problem suddenly occurred to him that could not be ignored and could very well affect his deductions.

You should know that Koro-sensei wrote on the blackboard first, then ran to your side to pick up his own notes, and only then did he ask the question with the phrase "Be careful not to make a sound."

22. The mouth is a tool for communication, whether you use a mouth or a tongue.

The title of this chapter is a sarcastic comment: Learning from Her Majesty Xu'er

What impressed Simo the most over the past month?

The answer is two words: "cause and effect".

Without cause and effect, he could not see Louise; without cause and effect, he could not return to Tristain.

Therefore, Simo truly began to value the importance of cause and effect.

Everything has a cause and effect.

If we consider this line of reasoning, Koro-sensei's series of actions become increasingly perplexing.

If Koro-sensei sees his own notes first, then writes on the blackboard because he saw the notes, and then reminds himself that there is a "demon" watching him by asking questions.

Such a causal order is normal, conforming to sequence and logic.

However, the current situation is that Koro-sensei first wrote on the blackboard, then saw the contents of his own notes, and then used the contents of the blackboard to ask himself questions.

Did Koro-sensei already know the contents of his notes when he was writing on the blackboard?

Coincidence?

Or is it that Koro-sensei's eyesight is truly far better than he imagined?

Simo didn't doubt Koro-sensei's eyesight, but she knew that from the podium, even if Koro-sensei could see the words on the notebook, they would be upside down.

If you turn the square Chinese characters upside down, it's still possible for someone to understand them.

But try reading Latin letters and English letters backwards? Not to mention Simo, which has distorted and encrypted magical script!

Could it be that Koro-sensei can predict the future?

So for a moment, Ximo really couldn't figure it out. Was that question a hint from Koro-sensei, or was it just a coincidence?

If it's a hint, how should I respond? If it's a coincidence, how should I answer?

If this is an implication, it means that people from the magical world are currently monitoring me. So how can I communicate with Koro-sensei while being monitored?

If it's a coincidence, it means Koro-sensei doesn't know he's from the magical world. In that case, how can I probe further without revealing myself?

Time passed by, minute by minute. In the eyes of the students, poor Ximo had completely become a typical student who did not pay attention in class and could not answer questions when called on by the teacher.

By the time Simo realized something was wrong and that he had been thinking for too long, it was already too late.

If I were really being monitored, such a long period of thinking would surely arouse suspicion!

Whether it's a coincidence or not, let's answer first! That's what Simo thought.

"Hmm..."

Unfortunately, this time, Simo was unable to speak again!

Because Koro-sensei suddenly sealed his mouth with a tentacle.

One more thing, it was very casual that he used a single tentacle to press it onto Ximo's lips. Those who have dirty thoughts, please go stand in the corner and reflect on your actions.

As for how flirtatious Koro-sensei's actions were, imagine the body language of your virtuous girlfriend who wants to teach you to change a bad habit, but doesn't allow you to interrupt.

"No, Ximo, there's a time limit for your answers. You don't have that much time to think during the exam," Koro-sensei said with a smug, gentle, pleased, and charming expression.

If Louise did this to him, said this to him, Simo would be very happy, because that's called adding fragrance to a woman's life, because that's called romance.

However, what he never expected was that not only was the thing doing this to him not a girl, but it was also a tentacle! A wet and sticky tentacle!

And that despicable Koro-sensei, not finding it disgusting at all, continued his offensive against Shimo: "Oh, I'm sorry, Shimo, you got it wrong again. I didn't expect you didn't know the answer! It's okay, that's what teaching is all about. Teaching is about imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts!"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! You dead octopus! You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Feeling that his mouth had been defiled, Ximo wiped and spat again and again, but he still felt that there was a sticky foreign object stuck to his lips.

However, before he could continue questioning, that hateful tentacle reached out again!

"Sorry, Simosang, it's my turn to ask you questions, not the other way around. I won't let you ask questions, and you can't interrupt to ask questions. That's the rule of class. See, I've taught you the rules today. Are you happy? Are you pleased?"

Simo:

"Simo, why aren't you saying anything? Are you speechless because you're moved by my teaching methods?"

"Waaaaah! Take your filthy hands off me!"

At this moment, Simo's freedom of speech was ruled by Koro-sensei's dictatorship. At this moment, the children in the class once again recalled the fear of being terrified by the demonic laughter and the humiliation of being whipped by the evil tentacles.

"Huh? Ximo, what are you saying? I can't hear you..."

"Waaaah! Ugh! You bastard, how am I supposed to speak with my mouth sealed shut?"

Koro-sensei's behavior of getting the benefit and then acting innocent aroused great indignation from Shimo. However, before he could explode, the next second, Shimo's angry eyes turned into fear!

That wretched octopus actually pried open his mouth with another tentacle! And it even stretched, stretched, stretched inside!!!

"Hey! Koro-sensei, stop right now!"

Teacher Karasuma couldn't bear to watch any longer, but it was too late. The soft flesh had already filled Simo's mouth and was constantly wriggling. Its grotesque appearance was filthy even to outsiders.

Such a harmonious and beautiful scene is seriously stimulating to the eyes of those around it!

The girls screamed!

The boys screamed too!

Although the reasons for the screams were the same, and the meanings of the screams were different, Mr. Simon, as the person involved, didn't have the time to distinguish the specific differences between the two.

Struggling to maintain an angry expression, Mr. Seamus seemed to be opening his bright eyes as wide as possible, but at the same time, he was secretly trying to sense Koro-sensei's tentacles.

It's disgusting! I really feel like throwing up! The scene is harmonious!

But who could have imagined that this was a hard-won opportunity for intelligence exchange!

Although it was only a few strokes and a few seconds, Ximo felt it: Koro-sensei used his tentacles to write words on the wall of his mouth!

A horizontal line, a vertical line, a horizontal line, a vertical line with two curves, a lift and a press, a lift and a press—a special kind of mucus adhered to Ximo's mouth without being visible to outsiders.

Koro-sensei blinked slightly, and Shimo, who understood what was going on, pretended to bite down fiercely.

Amidst Koro-sensei's eerie scream, the yellow tentacles quickly withdrew.

"You little rascal, were you born in the Year of the Dog?"

"Hmph, you really are an octopus, ugh."

"Hey! You two! This is a school! Don't you dare mess around here!!!"

Amidst the chaos and commotion, no one noticed that the intelligence had been exchanged silently.

Sorry for the late update, I've been quite busy lately.

23. Ximo successfully won a round from the sidelines.

What exactly did Koro-sensei write in Saimo's mouth? Only Saimo himself knows the answer.

Although the process was filthy, and although Simo tried to comfort himself by saying, "It's just eating a raw octopus tentacle."

Then, while saying no, their actions are very honest; that's exactly the situation they're talking about.

No matter how much Simo tried to comfort or convince himself, the thought of the unforgivable crimes Koro-sensei had committed against him triggered a stress response in Simo's body.

The so-called stress rejection reaction is formally known in the medical field as nervous vomiting, also called psychogenic vomiting or functional vomiting.

In medical terminology, nervous vomiting refers to a group of mental disorders characterized by recurrent vomiting, either spontaneously or intentionally induced, with the vomitus consisting of recently ingested food. This condition is not accompanied by other obvious symptoms, has no underlying organic disease, and most patients do not have a fear of gaining weight or a desire to lose weight. A few patients may have a fear of gaining weight and a desire to lose weight, but their weight does not decrease significantly. This condition is more common in women than men and typically occurs in early to mid-adulthood.

Well, there are more women than men. Considering Simo's clothing and appearance at this moment, this is a highlight, not the main point, because it is not the main point.

What's the point?

The key point is that Mr. Seamus skipped class on his very first day of the new class!

No, saying he skipped class might be a bit of an exaggeration, because Simo's reason was perfectly legitimate and reasonable. After all, it would be inhumane for a patient who was seriously unwell to have to attend class.

So, amidst the regretful gazes of some classmates, the envious gazes of others, and the knowing looks of still others...

Ximo, carrying a shoulder bag and wearing the jacket given to him by Karasuma-sensei, went home looking pale.

For some reason, the students in the class felt a sense of shared sorrow, and they didn't pay much attention to Ms. Elena's English class. Some of them would often glance out the window.
