Heroes Return

"Lin Jie, I didn't expect you to actually come." Dong Xue'er smiled at Lin Jie. In fact, when Dong Xiaoye told her on the phone that Lin Jie would come to be a teacher, Dong Xue'er thought it was a joke.

But when the chairman of the Hero Academy, the woman with the fan, told him about this yesterday, Dong Xue'er truly believed Dong Xiaoye's words.

"Are you alright, Xue'er?" Lin Jie asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, I've been doing very well lately; the academy's treatment of me is quite good."

His main goal was within reach, but at this moment, Lin Jie was at a loss for words.

"Lin Jie." Just as Lin Jie hesitated, a beautiful girl called out to him from behind.

Just as Lin Jie turned around, the girl gave him a hug.

"Kuhuhu, didn't you ask me to give you a hug?" the girl said to Lin Jie with a smile. "Kuhuhu, then see you later."

Then the girl pulled the little girl next to her into a car.

When Lin Jie turned to look at Dong Xue'er, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop.

"Come with me!" Dong Xue'er said coldly, then turned and walked outside.

"Wait, Xue'er, let me explain." Lin Jie quickly chased after her.

"Your business is none of my concern!"

Volume 5, The Teacher Without Inspirational Quotes

Chapter One

Off the coast of Zone M lies a massive, man-made island surrounded by diverse terrains. From frigid snow-capped mountains to scorching deserts and Gobi, even dense forests and wetlands are clearly visible. The island displays almost all four seasons simultaneously.

On the seabed surrounding the island, numerous unknown detection systems and defensive weapons are deployed underwater. The island's defense level is even higher than that of the world's former prison that held world-class criminals.

In the very center of the island stands a vast, modern college. A colossal statue of Zero also stands in the center of the campus park.

In the central square of the college stands a large clock tower, offering a panoramic view of the entire campus. Of course, this massive clock tower only chimes the time at 8:00 AM before class begins and at 2:00 PM after class ends.

Because the college's chairman of the board lived on the top floor of the clock tower, this youngest chairman in the history of the M District Advanced Academy was clearly in a very good mood today. He was humming a song and drinking coffee in his office on the second-to-last floor of the clock tower.

Ms. Angela, the youngest president of a higher education institution in history, even wore light makeup today to make herself look more mature.

The reason she was so happy today was that a man she had long admired was coming to the school to teach, and she and this man she admired also shared a secret.

Because this man's true identity is Zero, the greatest hero of mankind who disappeared five years ago.

While glancing at the digital clock on her desk, Angela calculated the time when Lin Jie would arrive.

Although she had heard he was involved in the events of the Fantasy Sea, since he was Mr. Zero, Angela didn't believe he was in any danger. After all, the corpse of the World Serpent lying in the Fantasy Sea was a product of Zero's creation. Although she didn't know the specifics of his battle with the World Serpent, there was no doubt that Zero had won.

In fact, according to the professors of occultism at the academy, Zero should be the only god-slayer in human history.

The thought of such a powerful man soon arriving before her filled Angela with excitement. Few young women could resist the allure of humanity's greatest hero.

After clearing her somewhat agitated thoughts, Angela couldn't help but think of the secret they shared, and her face flushed again.

Angela still didn't understand why Lin Jie insisted on concealing his identity. After all, if he were willing to reveal his identity, the entire World Government would be willing to offer him any terms he requested to win him over. Of course, Angela was also aware of the World Government's other opinions about Zero, but she understood very well that if Zero was willing to cooperate with the World Government, he could instantly obtain everything he wanted, whether it was fame, money, or women.

In fact, every year, countless people try to impersonate Zero by mimicking Zero's characteristics, though they are quickly exposed.

The World Government immediately cut off the live stream of Zero's appearance, but some people still had the right to watch the videos, including Angela, a young girl who had become the chairperson of the World Hero Academy.

At the same time, she also truly felt the pressure emanating from Zero, which made her feel sorry for those who lied about being Zero. He Qi was a typical example; facing the impact of Zero directly left this former SS-level powerhouse somewhat mentally disoriented to this day.

Time passed slowly, and just as Angela was getting a little impatient, a chilly aura emanated from the office elevator, followed by a beautiful silver-haired woman appearing inside.

Behind her followed a man with a fawning expression; this man was Lin Jie.

The moment Angela saw the two people come in, she couldn't help but wonder why he had to pursue girls in such a silly way when he could have all sorts of girls.

But this is even better; at least it shows that Zero isn't a casual man. Of course, this also further fuels Angela's interest in getting Lin Jie.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin Jie. From today onwards, you should be called Teacher Lin." Angela held her fan and smiled at Lin Jie. Her lightly made-up face exuded both youthful and alluring charm.

This left Lin Jie, a 24-year-old virgin who was used to hanging out with a bunch of gay guys, somewhat stunned. But the next moment, a chill ran down his spine. This made Lin Jie shiver, and then he snapped out of it.

"Hello, Chairperson Angela, I'm here to report for duty," Lin Jie said to Angela.

Seeing Dong Xue'er and Lin Jie's expressions, Angela couldn't help but smile slightly: "I'll take you to your dormitory today, and tomorrow I'll formally introduce you to the other teachers."

"Chairman, you don't need to get involved in this personally, do you?" Dong Xue'er said. "Just tell me where his dormitory is, and I'll take him there."

“Mr. Lin Jie is an outstanding talent that I finally found. Of course, I should personally show him around the school,” Angela said with a smile.

“But that would be too much trouble for you!” Dong Xue’er quickly said, “You already have a lot of work to do, and this might put an even greater burden on you.”

"Don't worry, I've finished my work for today," Angela said to Dongxue'er with a smile.

After saying that, she affectionately took Lin Jie's hand and walked towards the elevator. Dong Xue'er naturally followed.

Looking at all the girls dressed in special costumes along the way, Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Academies are so much better! There are beautiful girls everywhere."

"This is our main teaching building." Angela said to Lin Jie, standing in front of a building with a huge statue of Zero standing in front of the door. "The teachers' offices are all here, and Mr. Lin Jie will also be working here from now on."

"Oh?"

“And this statue can actually move,” Angela said to Lin Jie.

"Is this a mechanical statue?" Lin Jie asked excitedly.

"Of course it's a mechanical statue, and a very powerful weapon for protecting the academy."

"It's really amazing."

"The technology and equipment zone is not far ahead. We specialize in developing equipment here that can maximize the abilities of heroes," Angela said, leading Lin Jie toward another building.

There, many young people with superpowers are conducting experiments.

"Are all of these weapons?" Lin Jie asked.

“Not entirely. I already said it’s equipment that maximizes the hero’s superpowers.” Angela said, pointing to a person who was constantly adjusting a glove. “See that person? His ability is to create high-frequency vibration waves.”

"That's impressive!" Lin Jie said.

“Although it can generate vibration waves, it is indeed difficult to accurately control the frequency of the vibration,” Angela said. “His gloves are specifically designed to adjust the vibration frequency; if I remember correctly, they can adjust the vibration frequency to the single digit.”

"Is it necessary to adjust the frequency?" Lin Jie asked, somewhat puzzled. "Why not just blast the enemy directly?"

“Hehe, not everyone can be like you,” Angela said. “For example, what frequency can make someone unconscious, what frequency can lead to death, and so on. The different effects of different frequencies are difficult for the human brain to grasp and calculate. But with the equipment we developed, it can help him perform these complex calculations. With that glove, he can even use infrasound.”

"You mean using machines to help users make more accurate calculations?" Lin Jie asked.

“That’s how it is,” Angela said with a smile. “Many superpowers are difficult to control precisely, and the main goal here is to help these people make the best use of their superpowers. Of course, we’ll also develop weapons.”

With that, Lin Jie and the other two walked to the other side.

"This is the cafeteria. You can find all kinds of international cuisine here," Angela said to Lin Jie. "It's almost lunchtime. Since we're here, let's eat together today."

After speaking, Angela walked into the cafeteria amidst the astonished gazes of the students and teachers. It's worth noting that as the chairperson of the academy's board of directors, Angela's dinners were usually specially prepared high-class dishes, delivered directly to her room.

None of that is the key point. The key point is that Teacher Xue'er was also with them today. And there was a man with them, and judging from Angela's intimate attitude towards him, it made many people curious about Lin Jie.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three of them each ordered their favorite food and then found a place to sit down.

"Why do I feel so strange?" Lin Jie couldn't help but say after sitting down.

"It's normal to feel uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, right?" Dong Xue'er, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

"So that's how it is." Lin Jie glanced around and was surprised to find that almost everyone in the cafeteria was staring at him. "Is there something strange about me?"

“You’re sitting with two beautiful women,” Angela said to Lin Jie. “Never mind them, come and try the steak here, it’s pretty good.”

As Angela spoke, she picked up a piece of steak, stuck it in her mouth, and brought it towards Lin Jie's mouth.

"You saw it?"

"Hey! The chairman and he are so close!"

"Indeed, who exactly is this man?"

……

In an instant, all sorts of whispers and murmurs filled the restaurant. Although the voices were mixed and mostly hushed, given Lin Jie's physical abilities, it would be strange if he couldn't make out what they were saying.

At this moment, Lin Jie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"No need, I'll eat by myself," Lin Jie said to Angela.

He had always thought that showing affection in public was both exhilarating and agonizing, because he was often the one being tormented by it. But Angela's sudden display of affection made Lin Jie realize a shocking reality: engaging in intimate acts in front of everyone was such a shameful thing…

Chapter two

"What does it matter?" Angela asked Lin Jie.

"Hehe, it really doesn't matter. Why don't you try this dish too?" Dong Xue'er said to Lin Jie with a smile, but Lin Jie couldn't detect any emotional fluctuation in her smile.

"Xue'er, the things in your hands have frozen solid," Lin Jie said, looking at the ice on Dong Xue'er's fork.

"Ah! Sorry, it got frozen by accident." Dong Xue'er feigned surprise, and then many sharp spikes formed from ice appeared on the ice block: "Here, come on, ah..."

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Eating this will ruin your mouth..."

"Playing the field?" "Absolutely playing the field!" "What a scumbag!"... All sorts of comments rang out again from all around.

After finally managing to finish his dinner, Lin Jie, led by Angela and Dong Xue'er, arrived at his dormitory. It was an apartment building of about 100 square meters, fully equipped with all kinds of living facilities.

After an afternoon of experiencing it, Lin Jie finally understood why so many people yearn for campus life. This place was practically a rosy dream; he had only just arrived, and he was no longer surrounded by those boring gay guys. Instead, he was surrounded by two beautiful girls.

Although Dong Xue'er rolled her eyes at him quite a bit along the way, Lin Jie thought it was clearly jealousy. At the same time, Lin Jie didn't expect the girls in the M district to be so enthusiastic. Before parting ways with him, Angela even gave him one of her room cards and said that they could have a good 'chat' about things at the academy that night.

This almost caused Lin Jie, a virgin who already lacked self-control, to lose his composure. Unfortunately, Dong Xue'er snatched the room key after they parted ways...

Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh as he sensed that his rosy campus life had begun!

"This is awesome! There are no monsters, no gays, no perverts, and most importantly, no thirteens! All there are are beautiful girls who are jealous of me and student girls who will soon be jealous of me! My twenty years of life have finally transformed me from the protagonist of a bloody, gay-ridden story into the protagonist of a youthful, beautiful, and somewhat otaku-desirable campus harem story! Makoto! Please bless me from heaven!!"

Having left behind the plethora of gay men in H City, Lin Jie finally felt the dawn of his life upon arriving at the vibrant M District World Super Hero Academy.

After happily taking a shower in his new dorm, Lin Jie turned on the college computer and began frantically downloading all sorts of campus romance games online. While downloading tons of games, Lin Jie also made a decision: to gain experience for his future campus life, he decided to unlock the harem endings in every single one of these games!

In Lin Jie's words, "I want youth! I want a harem!"
