Heroes Return

"Hey hey! Teacher, I'm all ready!" Akarin skipped over to Lin Jie's side. "But what kind of training method are you planning to give me, Teacher?"

“Your abilities are truly difficult to train,” Lin Jie said, looking at Akarin. “So I’ve decided to have you strengthen your physical training.”

As he spoke, Lin Jie tossed a booklet to Akarin: "This is what I got from Dong Xue'er. It contains her training methods from when she was a child and some common martial arts techniques from the Dong family. From now on, you will practice according to the contents of this booklet. Of course, I will check on you every day."

"Understood, Master!" Akarin said, "But do I really need to practice these physical techniques?"

“Although your abilities are interesting, you currently have absolutely no offensive capabilities. That’s why I want you to improve your physical skills,” Lin Jie said to Akarin. “Also, your little tricks are useless against true martial arts grandmasters. They can easily catch you just by looking at your faint aura or your slightest killing intent.”

“I understand, Teacher Lin Jie,” Akarin said.

“Actually, I know a friend named Thirteen. He’s quite good at hiding. I was originally planning to bring him over to teach you, but in the end I gave up,” Lin Jie said to Akarin.

"Hey! Teacher, who is this Thirteen you're talking about?" Akarin asked curiously.

"Just an unlucky kid."

After saying that, he looked at Justin, who was standing there looking lost, and said, "I will personally train you this morning! Are you ready?"

"Um, teacher, could we... not drink..." Before Justin could finish speaking, he saw Lin Jie pull out a large bag of liquor from somewhere.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly," Lin Jie said to Justin.

"It's nothing..." Justin said weakly.

“Your training this morning was practical combat training,” Lin Jie said to Justin. “Nothing can train a person’s courage better than practical combat. Now you can attack me as much as you like.”

“But teacher, I dare not!” Justin said. “Teacher… my abilities…”

"Are you afraid of hurting me?" Lin Jie's figure suddenly appeared next to Justin: "With your current strength, you're still ten years away from it!"

As he spoke, Lin Jie kicked Justin away.

“Use the breathing technique I taught you! Attack me.” Lin Jie said as he walked towards Justin.

"But teacher, I..." Justin was already crying at this point, his body trembling as he watched Lin Jie approach.

"What a piece of trash! You clearly have such strong abilities!" Lin Jie said unhappily, "Are you a [beep]? You [beep]."

“Teacher…” Justin still didn’t move. He just watched as Lin Jie approached him, then kicked him away.

"You [beep--]" Lin Jie said, throwing a bottle of liquor at Justin: "Drink this right now!"

"Okay...okay." Justin immediately finished the bottle of wine.

"How does it feel now, [beep--]?" Lin Jie looked at Justin: "So, [beep--] are you willing to fight back now?"

Justin's face was slightly flushed from drinking, but he still didn't move.

"One more bottle!" Lin Jie said, tossing Justin another bottle of beer...

"Okay...okay." Justin said, drinking another bottle: "Teacher, I...uh...I'm finished!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jie kicked Justin flying again: "You [beep---] Do you dare to make a move now?"

"I...I."

"Looks like you're not only [beep---] but the person who gave birth to you is also [beep--], what a coward!!"

“Teacher, you can scold me, but you can’t scold my family.” Justin said, struggling to his feet.

"Really? [beep--] In my opinion, your whole family is [beep---]," Lin Jie said arrogantly to Justin.

"You're the one who's [beep--]!!" Justin was completely enraged by Lin Jie's words and, regardless of whether he was scared or not, rushed up and threw a hard punch at Lin Jie.

But the next moment he did the opposite of what he had done. However, Lin Jie had already disappeared before his eyes, along with the seawater that stretched out into the distance in front of his fist and the air above the seawater.

Justin's punch created a brief vacuum.

Just as he was staring in astonishment at the scene he had created, Lin Jie's voice rang out from behind him.

"Can't you just attack people?"

"Teacher, I..." Justin wanted to say something, but the next moment he was punched away.

"Stop dawdling. Since you dared to throw a punch, let's continue!" Lin Jie said to Justin, "If you [beep---] want to prove that your family isn't [beep---], then your training today must satisfy me! Otherwise, you'll definitely have a hard time today."

“My family members aren’t [beep---]!” Justin said, and ran towards Lin Jie again.

"Have you forgotten the breathing technique I taught you? You [beep---]" Lin Jie's figure appeared in front of Justin even faster, and he punched Justin's chin hard. Justin was completely unprepared for this punch.

Then, for the entire morning, Lin Jie's cursing and yelling could be heard coming from here.

Chapter 25

Under Lin Jie's arrangement, the morning passed by just like that.

Before long, it was lunchtime, and the students of Class S gathered at the dormitory dining table once again. However, this time, there was a noticeable change in the people sitting at the table.

"Huh? Are you alright?" The fire-fighting soldiers, covered in dirt, asked Justin, whose face was practically covered in bruises. They would usually teach Justin a lesson, but never to this extent.

"I...I actually survived." Justin's voice was barely audible. After managing to utter one sentence, Justin collapsed under the table, clutching his head and trembling as if he had been attacked by hundreds of burly men: "The battle was so terrifying...so terrifying..."

Just as everyone was staring in shock at Justin's miserable state, Ye Daoshen, Miyamoto Spicy Strips, and Qige walked in at the same time.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the appearance of the three people.

"Hey you three, are you really fighting now?" Obsession was the first to jump out, pointing at the three of them and saying, "Why don't you three just fight to the death and die together!"

"Shut up, you fish-smelling bastard," Ye Daoshen said to Zhinian, dressed only in strips of cloth.

"Do you want to die?" Obsession said, pulling out his chainsaw.

"This man! He's my prey!" With swollen eyes, Miyamoto Spicy Strips stood before Ye Daoshen and declared, "This afternoon! I'm going to chop you down!"

"How could I possibly let you hit me! If you do, I'll kneel down!!" Ye Daoshen said to Miyamoto and Qige, whose face was also covered in bruises, "And could you two please switch to practice weapons?!"

"You are a formidable opponent in my life! I will take you very seriously, Daoshin-kun!" Miyamoto Spicy Strips said to Ye Daoshin, "Our life-or-death duel has only just begun! I will show you what a real spicy strip is all about!"

"Hey, hey, hey!!! Have you been watching too many samurai movies?! What kind of life-or-death duel is this?!" Ye Daoshen was completely speechless at this samurai who took every fight seriously. "Qig! Say something! This guy is clearly treating training like a death match!!!"

"Hmph!" Qige sneered. "Don't think you can talk so arrogantly just because you had the upper hand this morning! Although my eyes can't see your fist, I'll show you even greater power this afternoon!"

"Hey!! Why are you getting serious now?" Ye Daoshen couldn't help but say.

"I've been getting slapped in the face by you all morning, and I haven't even managed to land a single blow. No wonder they're acting like this," Lin Jie said calmly from his seat.

"Teacher, did you see that?"

"While I was dealing with Justin, I also took a look over there," Lin Jie said to Ye Daoshen. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had this much fun beating someone up."

“Teacher, you…” Justin struggled to climb back into his seat.

"Alright, stop arguing! I can't wait to eat the lunch that Felicia Carbon made!" Tifa put down her laptop and said, "I even abandoned important research for this."

"Me too! Everyone else does too!" Akarin exclaimed excitedly.

"Um, I've made lunch..." Felicia said weakly from the other side, and then everyone saw plate after plate of unidentified substances float in front of them under Felicia's mental control.

In the very center was a large bowl of fish soup, and right in the middle of the soup was a salted fish head looking up at everyone present, its mouth opening and closing as if cursing them.

Looking at these bizarre dishes that resembled a cult ritual, everyone's initial anticipation turned into regret.

"Um, did you really do this, Felicia?" Tiffa asked, her voice trembling as she looked at Felicia.

"Um... I tried my best..." Felicia looked timidly at her classmates in Class S, her eyes already glistening with tears: "Um... maybe we shouldn't eat it."

Felicia's appearance instantly charmed all the students in Class S, and they couldn't bring themselves to refuse her.

"Mmm... I'll eat it! I'll definitely eat all the delicious food Felicia makes with charcoal," Tifa said to Felicia, sweating profusely.

"Really? You're really willing to eat what I make?" Felicia looked at Tifa with some excitement.

“Not only am I willing to eat it, they all are willing to eat it! Really.” Tifa said, looking at the members of Class S.

"Hey! You can talk all you want! But don't..." Just as Zhi Nian was about to say something to Tifa, he was struck by a wrench and fell to the ground.

"Alright, enough talk, we can eat now." Lin Jie said to the students of Class S, "Eat more, you have a tough training session waiting for you this afternoon."

"This is clearly already training!" everyone thought to themselves.

At the same time, Lin Jie made a small gesture in front of everyone, saying that he would cut off anyone who didn't finish their food.

“Then I’ll try a bite first.” Akarin said, taking a bite of the food Tifa had prepared. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, she chewed a few times and swallowed. Everyone then saw Akarin continue eating with a smile: “It doesn’t look very appetizing, but it tastes delicious!”

"Is it really that delicious?" Tifa couldn't help but look at Akarin.

"It's really delicious!" Akarin said, and started eating.

“I knew it! How could Felicia Charcoal possibly make such terrible food!” Tifa said, picking up a bite of food and putting it in her mouth. “I would definitely eat anything Felicia Charcoal makes…”

Before Tifa could finish speaking, her pupils rolled upwards, and she froze in front of everyone.

Harry, whose body was covered in magic circles, immediately began shaking Tifa frantically: "Hey, hey, hey!! Are you alright? Why did you suddenly stop responding?"

"Cough cough cough!!!" Accompanied by a few coughs, Tifa's eyes returned to normal: "Cough cough cough!! It was so...so delicious that it almost sent me to heaven...cough cough. I think I just saw my grandfather waving at me."

"..."

"Really? Is it really so delicious that it will take you to heaven?" Felicia asked Tifa excitedly.

"Yes." Tifa nodded, but to everyone else, her expression looked like she had just eaten dozens of kilograms of excrement.

"Great! If it's delicious, I'll make sure everyone eats this delicious food every day from now on!" Felicia clenched her little fist and excitedly told her classmates in Class S about something extremely terrifying: "At first, I was really scared, because my mom always said that I'm not suited to cooking."

"Felicea's food is really delicious!" Akarin said to Felicia while eating his own food. "It looks a bit strange, but it's really tasty."

At this point, everyone realized one thing: the elusive Akarin was actually a taste freak.

"Alright, you guys hurry up and eat!" Lin Jie said to the students in Class S, "Don't forget, you have to finish everything, and absolutely no picky eating!"

“Then I’ll start eating!” Felicia said, about to sit down to eat, but Lin Jie stopped her: “The food you made is so delicious, I don’t think it will be enough for them, so let’s give them our two portions. You and I will go out to eat later.”

"Oh? In that case, let them have it," Felicia said to Lin Jie.

"Teacher, you're so despicable!" Ye Daoshen couldn't help but stand up and say.

“These days, it’s hard to find someone as friendly and modest as your teacher,” Lin Jie said, taking out his iron rod and waving it around. “You should learn more from my spirit of modesty and love.”

When they saw the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand, everyone shut their mouths at the same time, and then collectively cursed Lin Jie's shamelessness in their hearts.

At this moment, everyone realized one thing: the training tasks assigned by Lin Jie were just the beginning; the real test was during mealtime.

After enduring the grueling training session around lunchtime, everyone resumed the training arranged by Lin Jie.

"Teacher...do we still want to fight?" Justin asked Lin Jie timidly.
