Heroes Return

"You think you can beat me with your toys?" Harry sneered. "That's impossible!"

With that, the two men, sparks flying from their eyes, rushed toward the training ground.

"Boss, we're going back first..." The three henchmen brothers immediately went downstairs, along with Ye Daoshen and Miyamoto Spicy Strips.

"Darkness will eventually engulf our class," Qige said calmly as he passed Lin Jie. "Teacher, you'd better prepare yourself as soon as possible."

"Looks like I should go back and look up ways to prevent and treat chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)," Lin Jie said, rubbing his forehead.

"I told you I'm not a chuunibyou! I wasn't joking!!!"

"Alright, alright, your chuunibyou level has already reached its limit," Lin Jie said calmly.

"This isn't chuunibyou! This is just how I am!!"

"Your chuunibyou is like the wind, always by your side!" Lin Jie said to Qi Ge.

"You!!!" Qige didn't say anything more and immediately walked downstairs.

After Justin nervously said goodbye to Lin Jie, only Lin Jie and Felicia remained on the rooftop of the teaching building, staring at each other blankly.

"Aren't you planning to go back to your dorm?" Lin Jie asked. "If you're not planning to go back, I'll be leaving now."

"Teacher Lin Jie... I... I..." the girl said to Lin Jie somewhat timidly, "I dare not go back by myself."

"You've really been staying home too much, you've developed an aversion to the outdoors! You can't be a hero like this!" Lin Jie exclaimed. "By the way, don't you have Jill with you?"

“But Jill also hates being outside.” The girl said to Lin Jie, “Teacher, do you believe in Jill’s existence?”

"I don't believe it." Lin Jie expressed his opinion without hesitation.

"As expected, even the teacher doesn't believe it," the girl said.

“But it doesn’t matter to me whether Gil or not,” Lin Jie said to her. “As long as you come to class every day, I don’t care if Gil or Pierre is with you. I have no interest in treating your own mental illness. Just come to class like a normal student every day.”

“I’m not crazy!!” Felicia said to Lin Jie.

"Okay, okay, you're not crazy, I misspoke!" Lin Jie said to Felicia, "Since you're afraid to be out alone, I'll take you back."

"Is it alright, teacher?" Felicia asked somewhat nervously.

“Of course, let’s go.” Lin Jie said to Felicia.

"But... we won't have to be tied up when we go back, right?"

"Damn it, what kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of pervert who likes to tie people up and play bondage games when I'm bored?" Lin Jie said to Felicia unhappily.

Felicia nodded slightly.

"I had to kidnap you all because you refused to attend class, and you even took up an entire practical lesson!" Lin Jie said to Felicia. "Wait a minute, thinking about it, tying up beautiful girls is actually quite interesting..."

“No way, I think everyone received a practical lesson from the teacher today…” Felicia suddenly remembered the scene of Lin Jie rushing into her room and instantly subduing her and tying her up, and muttered to herself, “Teacher, you big pervert.”

"I'm just trying to teach you a lesson. Don't worry, I won't tie you up. Let's go," Lin Jie said to Felicia somewhat impatiently.

"Oh." Hearing Lin Jie's words, the girl felt relieved and followed behind him.

The two walked towards the girls' dormitory, attracting a lot of attention. Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh, "It really is a world that judges by appearance."

Despite attracting much attention, Felicia acted like a frightened rabbit, hiding behind Lin Jie and looking at the passing crowd with a somewhat terrified expression.

“Really…” Lin Jie looked at Felicia sitting behind him: “What exactly is the reason you became a student at the Hero Academy? In your current state, you can’t even go out normally, let alone fight bad guys.”

"Um... actually, I wanted to be a hero because I thought heroes were so cool," Felicia said weakly. "But I never expected it to turn out like this at the academy."

"So what made you decide to become a shut-in girl?" Lin Jie asked.

"..." But the girl beside him remained silent.

"As expected, I'm not the kind of teacher who can get students to open up..." Lin Jie couldn't help but say, "Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. Anyway, even if I knew, I couldn't help you."

"You don't act like a responsible teacher at all..." the girl said.

"I came here specifically to pick up girls," Lin Jie said.

"Huh??" Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, Felicia immediately took two steps back and then sat down on the ground with a thud.

"I mean, you don't need to react like that..." Lin Jie looked at the girl speechlessly: "I'm not looking for an underdeveloped little girl like you. I'm looking for a mature woman with a voluptuous figure."

"Oh." The girl breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up.

"..." For some reason, seeing the girl's reaction made Lin Jie, who was usually calm, feel very uncomfortable...

Chapter Fourteen

"Teacher..." The girl looked at Lin Jie with pleading eyes, "Teacher, can I not come to class tomorrow? I really don't like being around other people."

Under the girl's adorable gaze, Lin Jie almost nodded in agreement.

“Impossible. If you don’t come, I’ll come to your place to pick you up,” Lin Jie said decisively.

"Can't people even use mobile phones to attend classes?" the girl asked.

"No."

"Then Jill can go to class in my place, okay?"

"No way, I can't see Jill at all!" Lin Jie said to the girl in front of him, "No need to make any excuses. Now that I'm here to teach, your life as a couch potato is over."

"...He clearly said he came here to pick up girls, so why does he care so much?" the girl muttered in dissatisfaction.

"There's nothing I can do. The girl begged me to make sure you unlucky kids have to go back to school," Lin Jie said.

"Teacher, is that why you forcibly tied us up to the rooftop?" Hearing Lin Jie's answer, Felicia was a little unable to accept it for a moment.

"So what do you think is the reason? Is it out of professional ethics as a teacher?" Lin Jie said, buying a bag of beer from a vending machine on the roadside. "But speaking of which, the beer at this school is really good."

"Then I beg you, please don't drag me to class anymore..." Felicia said to Lin Jie, "It's a request from a beautiful girl as well."

"Request rejected." Lin Jie said, tossing a carton of milk to Felicia: "As a cute and beautiful girl, it's such a waste of resources for her to just hide in her room and not let anyone admire her."

“But I don’t like being seen by others…” Felicia said softly as she took the fresh milk from Lin Jie’s hand.

“You can talk to me normally, can’t you?” Lin Jie turned to Felicia and said, “Why can’t you talk to other people normally? If you want to become a hero, you must never be afraid of other people’s gaze. Even if there is an awkward silence as soon as you appear, even if you encounter the embarrassing situation of no reaction from the crowd after defeating the enemy, you must never be discouraged.”

"But I..."

"No buts. So, do you want to fight criminals? Do you hope to protect the peace and tranquility of human life?" Lin Jie asked.

“But I simply can’t do it right now,” Felicia said. “Even if you say that, teacher… I just can’t do it.”

"Who told you to do it?" Lin Jie said to Felicia.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"I was just expressing my own feelings," Lin Jie said to the girl. "Simply put, for the sake of my happiness in the future, I have no choice but to force you to go to class every day."

"Hey, hey, hey?" Felicia couldn't help but say, "Why does your happiness in the second half of your life always have to be built on my suffering? You're such a bad guy! A big idiot!"

"Who told you you couldn't fight back against me?" Lin Jie said. "If you really want to live the life you want, then become stronger. If you can defeat me, I definitely won't drag you to class anymore. But for now... you'd better go to class obediently."

"Teacher! Watch me, I'm going to beat you!" the girl said to Lin Jie, clenching her small fist.

"You? Don't even dream about it."

“I will, and I’ll make you apologize to me then,” Felicia said.

"Fine, I'll wait for the day you beat me to my knees and beg for mercy." Lin Jie didn't react much: "Speaking of which, you seem normal when you talk to me, so why don't you talk to others? Is it because my charm has reached the point where I can impress a young girl like you?"

"No way!" Felicia said, blushing. "I would never be swayed by a perverted old man like you who hits girls!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, although I am indeed approaching middle-aged, how do I look like a middle-aged man?" Lin Jie said with dissatisfaction, "And you haven't said why I don't communicate normally with others?"

“The teacher is different…” Felicia said to Lin Jie, “The teacher looks like an idiot, and what the teacher said wasn’t lying to me…”

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what," Lin Jie interrupted her. "Besides, what you're saying doesn't sound very pleasant."

And so, as they talked, they unknowingly returned to the entrance of the girls' dormitory. However, this time the female dormitory manager still looked at him with a wary gaze…

“That teacher…” Felicia didn’t immediately return to her dormitory, but instead said somewhat awkwardly to Lin Jie, “I’ll go to class tomorrow…”

"Really? So you've finally decided to accept your fate since you know you can't fight back?" Lin Jie asked.

"Teacher, what you're saying sounds just like something a big bad guy would say, even though he really is a big bad guy..." Felicia said to Lin Jie, her face flushed.

"Your slacker attitude doesn't seem like that of a prospective student for My Hero Academia," Lin Jie said to Felicia. "Now that I've taken you back to your dorm, I'll head back."

"Wait, teacher!!" Felicia exclaimed, "Could you come pick me up tomorrow, teacher...?"

"Oh?" Lin Jie looked at Felicia with interest.

"I didn't mean for you to tie me up and take me to class!" Felicia said, blushing. "I'll go to class with the teacher properly."

"Oh, okay, no problem," Lin Jie replied to her.

……

After seeing Felicia off, Lin Jie went to the school cafeteria.

"Lin Jie, I'm here." Dong Xue'er was looking around at the entrance of the cafeteria. When she saw Lin Jie, she immediately greeted him.

"Xue'er, did you wait for me here on purpose?" Lin Jie asked Dong Xue'er.

"Of course I'll be waiting for you here," Dong Xue'er said to Lin Jie. "Let's go inside and eat."

"Okay," Lin Jie replied.

The two found a relatively quiet place to sit down.

"Lin Jie, how was your first day of class?" Dong Xue'er asked Lin Jie. "You've become one of the most talked-about teachers at school today. You truly are the man I've chosen."

"It feels like we haven't done anything at all; we've basically been catching little devils everywhere," Lin Jie said to Dong Xue'er.

"Hehe, but you seem to be enjoying yourself." Dong Xue'er laughed: "Speaking of which, you are quite a tough man. I didn't expect you to tie those students up with ropes to come to class."

"Didn't you say you like tough guys?" Lin Jie said, taking a sip of beer. "But speaking of which, can those kids really become heroes? None of them seem to fit the current image of a hero in the Hero Association."

"That's why I'm asking you," Dong Xue'er said to Lin Jie. "Speaking of which, you don't really fit the public image of the Hero Association."

“That makes sense.” Lin Jie looked at Dong Xue’er with a lewd gaze: “By the way, didn’t you say that you would date me and let me get rid of my single status if I could get them to concentrate on their classes?”

“That’s right, after all, I don’t dislike men like you.” Dong Xue’er said to Lin Jie with a smile.

"I've successfully gotten them all to focus on their classes today," Lin Jie said. "Isn't it possible for something more intimate to happen between us now?"

"Sure," Dong Xue'er said with a smile.
