Heroes Return

"Can you understand me, Teacher Lin?"

"I completely understand you, but all I can say is that your family did a good job! It prevents scum like you from ruining several pretty girls! Brother Cheng is watching you from heaven! Although I understand you, for my own happiness, I can only ask you to make the sacrifice of coming to class every day." Lin Jie said to Ye Daoshen.

"Hmph! I'm not going to attend those boring classes!" Ye Daoshen said to Lin Jie.

"Are you sure?" Lin Jie said, his aura spreading out, the killing intent of a thousand troops instantly filling the entire park square.

"You...you...what are you going to do?" Ye Daoshen was so overwhelmed by the terrifying aura that he couldn't even lift his head. "You...aren't you the teacher? What are you planning to do to me?"

"As expected, I'm not the kind of teacher who can spout motivational platitudes or attract students' attention!" Lin Jie said calmly, glancing at Ye Daoshen. "But I do not want any of my students to skip class, and I mean, I want every single class to be free of truancy."

"You...you're threatening me!" Ye Daoshen said angrily.

"It's not a threat, you can try it if you don't believe me!" Lin Jie said, shaking the iron rod in his hand, which at the same time became several times thicker.

Upon seeing the thickened iron rod, Ye Daoshen couldn't help but swallow hard.

Suddenly, Lin Jie withdrew his imposing aura: "How about we make a bet?"

"What do you want to do?" Ye Daoshen looked at Lin Jie with some fear. Lin Jie had only glanced at him just now, but he had a feeling as if he were being stared at by an ancient behemoth. Only now did he realize that their mentor this time was much more terrifying than he had imagined.

"What exactly do you mean by this bet?" Ye Daoshen couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple," Lin Jie said, taking a sip of beer. "Simply put, if you can hold me for more than ten seconds, I can let you leave. Conversely, if you can't hold me for ten seconds a day, you have to attend every single one of your classes."

"Hold on for ten seconds?" Lin Jie's words annoyed Ye Daoshen: "Are you sure you'll help me leave this school if I fight you for more than ten seconds?"

“Of course, a gentleman’s word is as good as his bond,” Lin Jie said to Ye Daoshen.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'm going to try it now!" Ye Daoshen said as he rushed towards Lin Jie.

Nine seconds later, Ye Daoshen was lying face down on the ground.

"It's such a pity, you almost succeeded." Lin Jie said to Ye Daoshen, "Start attending classes obediently from tomorrow, and don't forget our promise."

"Damn, what a powerful guy!" Ye Daoshen stood up from the ground: "I'll come back to challenge you again after my power breaks through in a while!"

After saying that, Ye Daoshen ran out of the park.

……

Chapter Four

Watching Ye Daoshen disappear from his sight, Lin Jie sat alone on a park bench, looking at his own statue while drinking beer: "Alright, I've got one sorted out for now. Tomorrow I need to check how many students are in Class 12."

At the same time, in a secluded grove of trees in the park, a surveillance camera appeared, silently watching Lin Jie.

"It was definitely the right decision to have Zero teach Class S." Angela, dressed in alluring pajamas, looked at Lin Jie's image on the monitor and said, "Honestly, even though I gave him the keys, he still had the mood to drink in the park by himself."

After spending the night there, Lin Jie dressed neatly according to the work schedule provided by Angela and headed towards the office building. At the same time, Dong Xue'er and the chairman were waiting for him at the entrance of the office building.

"Let's go," Angela said to Lin Jie. Then, Angela led Lin Jie to an office, where several teachers were present.

"Let me introduce you all! This is our new combat instructor, Lin Jie." Angela said to the people in the room who were dressed as superheroes. "He will be in charge of the S-level combat course, and he will also be the new homeroom teacher of the S-class. I hope you can get along well in the future."

"Wait a minute, Chairperson Angela." A muscular man in a tight-fitting suit stood up from his seat. "Although Class S is indeed short of a homeroom teacher right now, Chairperson, you can't be fooled by this kind of young man."

"Oh? Why would Professor Michael say that?" Angela asked. "Are you questioning my judgment?"

“I’m not questioning your judgment,” Michael said. “What I’m really questioning is this man, Lin Jie. I seriously doubt whether a superhero with only a high school diploma and a C-level rank has the ability to manage that S-class, or more precisely, whether he can be competent as an S-class mentor.”

"Are you doubting Mr. Lin's abilities?" Angela asked Michael with a smile.

“Although he is the person you have chosen, I still find it hard to accept a C-rank hero becoming a mentor here. You know, there are plenty of kids above C-rank in this academy. With his resume, it’s really hard for him to be competent for this job,” Michael said. “If his resume and achievements are not as rich as the students’, then teaching the students practical combat will become a joke.”

“I knew you would say that.” Angela then took out a blue crystal: “This is what Mr. Lin Jie accomplished on his way here. He prevented a coup d’état among the sea tribes and also gained the friendship of the current sea tribe queen. Isn’t that enough?”

“That was just one battle, and it doesn’t represent his overall performance at all.” Michael said to Angela, “To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that he can do this job. After all, Class S is too special. If there isn’t enough strong evidence to prove his qualifications, I would object even if he was handpicked by you, Chairman.”

Upon hearing Michael's words, Angela snapped her fan shut and said to Michael, "In that case, let's see if Mr. Lin Jie has the ability to be a teacher. Since Mr. Michael has doubts about Mr. Lin Jie, then please have a match with him."

“Sure, this is a good opportunity for me to see the abilities of Mr. Lin Jie, whom Chairperson Angela has such high hopes for,” Michael said.

"What do you think, Mr. Lin Jie? Could you please demonstrate your qualifications?" Angela said to Lin Jie, "These five teachers are all A-level heroes. If you want to gain their approval, you'll probably have to show some of your strength."

Hearing Angela's words, Lin Jie nodded, after all, he had already heard what that teacher Michael had said.

"In that case, let's go to the practice field," Angela said to the group.

Outside the teaching building, a large combat arena was set up. Modified using World Federation technology, the entire training ground was protected by a field generated by protective devices. It could completely withstand full-force attacks below SS rank.

Lin Jie and the teachers then arrived outside the training field.

At the same time, many students leaned out of the windows of the teaching building. Many trainees who had been practicing in the square that morning also gathered around Lin Jie and his group.

The news that Mr. Michael was going to test the new teachers' abilities quickly spread throughout the school.

“Let’s go into the practice area,” Michael said to Lin Jie. “Let me judge whether you are qualified to be a teacher here.”

"Go for it, Lin Jie!" Dong Xue'er said to Lin Jie with a smile. They knew that Lin Jie, who could defeat Ouyang Zihao in a one-on-one fight, would definitely not lose to this A-level teacher, Michael.

At this moment, Angela simply smiled while holding her fan, without saying anything.

And so, Lin Jie and Michael entered the training field at the same time.

"Now I'm going to activate the safety devices on the training field," a teacher shouted to the two people on the field. "Are you two ready?"

“I’m ready.” Michael stretched his body.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Jie shouted to the people below the stage.

"Do you need your equipment? I remember you had an iron bar during the fight," Michael said to Lin Jie.

"No, what I meant was that I'm not fighting you!" Lin Jie said to Michael.

"What, are you scared? Don't forget that everyone here is about as strong as me." Michael said to Lin Jie, "If you want to fight Teacher Dong Xue'er, I will never agree. I heard that you are both superheroes of the same city, and you have even fought alongside her in the past. I find it hard to believe that she won't hold back in your fight."

“That’s not what I meant!” Lin Jie shook his head and said to Michael, “I have no intention of fighting Xue’er.”

"So who exactly are you planning to fight? Or are you not planning to fight us at all?" Michael asked.

"Actually, what I wanted to say was that all of you teachers in this office could come up and fight me together," Lin Jie said to the teachers watching from the sidelines. "I was actually planning to fight all of you by myself."

Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, the remaining four teachers—two men and two women—looked at him with surprise. They never expected that Lin Jie would have the courage to say such a thing.

The onlookers below were also agitated when they heard Lin Jie say those words. In the students' eyes, this new teacher was really too arrogant. He actually wanted to challenge five people by himself.

After a brief moment of surprise, Michael seemed to realize something and said to Lin Jie with a look of sudden enlightenment, "So that's how it is. I understand now. Are you planning to create the illusion that although you lost, you lost in a battle against five people, so that you lost with honor? You lost, but it's because you fought against five people that you created the illusion. This way, people can have a strong illusion about your true strength?"

Upon hearing Michael's words, the teachers below all wore expressions of "I see."

"I must say, you really have a wild imagination!" Lin Jie couldn't help but look at his mentor, Michael. "I never realized that even though you have a lot of muscles, it doesn't affect the development of your imagination at all."

"What did you say?" Michael said, somewhat displeased.

"Alright, let's put it this way: if I lose to all five of you by myself, then I'll leave this school." Lin Jie said calmly, looking at Michael in front of him. "In return, if I win, then I demand that you hand over all your courses in Class S to me. How about it? Are you up for the bet?"

"Are you kidding me? How could you possibly teach them six subjects all by yourself? You only have a high school diploma," Michael said to Lin Jie.

"So you think the five of you are bound to lose?" Lin Jie asked calmly. "Anyway, most of the students in Class S skip classes, right? In that case, why not give me those classes?"

“We could never lose to you!” Michael said. “I can only say you’re being a bit too arrogant!”

"So, do you dare to bet?" Lin Jie took out his iron rod and stood it in the middle of the field.

“Of course I’d bet, but the school doesn’t encourage students to gamble like that!” Michael said.

“Nothing’s impossible,” Angela said. “I think this bet is quite interesting! How about we make a bet? Don’t worry, if you lose, I’ll arrange for you to attend another Class A. If Lin Jie loses, I’ll immediately send him out of school. What do you think?”

Upon hearing Chairperson Angela's words, the people present exchanged glances.

“Since you, Chairman, have spoken, then we agree to this bet.” Michael turned to Lin Jie and said, “You said it yourself, so don’t blame us if you want to leave the school later!”

"Don't worry, I won't blame you!" Lin Jie said to Michael. "We can begin."

Following them, the other four A-level teachers also entered the training field. As Chairperson Angela activated the training field, protective energy instantly shielded it. A large number of students had already gathered in the stands due to the gambling incident.

In fact, these students were all surprised that Lin Jie not only did not back down when facing Class S, which all the teachers avoided, but instead made such a bet.

训练场的上空这时候也凭空出现了一个巨大的数字9，一阵机器音在这一刻响了起来：“在倒计时结束之后开始进行战斗，9、8、7。。3、2、1。”

As the sound of '0' rang out, Michael and the other five teachers immediately sprang into action.

chapter Five

As the starting signal sounded, the five teachers present assumed the formations they had practiced together over a long period of time.

But just as they maintained their formation and prepared to attack Lin Jie, Lin Jie's figure suddenly disappeared from their sight. Then, when Lin Jie reappeared, he was right in the middle of the five of them, stomping his foot hard on the floor! The five of them didn't even have a chance to react before being sent flying by Lin Jie's kick.

At the same time, Lin Jie began to sweep his iron rod around him, instantly delivering a blow to each of the five teachers who had been knocked away.

These five A-level instructors didn't even have a chance to react before they were swept away by the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand.

While the five people were still in mid-air, they were struck by a very heavy iron bar, giving them the illusion that they had been hit by the shuttle.

The five teachers simultaneously crashed into the energy shield in different directions. After being removed from the energy shield, they all lost consciousness.

Lin Jie walked up to Michael's mentor and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I've never had a good relationship with my teachers growing up. Although I'm a teacher now."

However, Michael had already lost consciousness, so Lin Jie could only look in Angela's direction: "Looks like I won!"

"Yes, you won." Angela smiled and said to Lin Jie, "From now on, you will be the only mentor of Class S."

"Alright, it's almost time for class, right? Tell me where Class S is?" Lin Jie asked Angela.

……

Following Angela's directions, Lin Jie headed towards the location she indicated, while Dong Xue'er followed him.

"Lin Jie, why did you take on all the courses for Class S by yourself?" Dong Xue'er asked, her head down. "Is it because I asked you to last night?"

"Of course, it's to fulfill the promise you made to me." Lin Jie said to Dong Xue'er, "In order to find a partner, I will do everything I can to transform Class S into an outstanding and exemplary class."

"But Lin Jie, I feel that you went a little too far with Professor Michael and the others today. It's normal for them to be worried about your resume, since your resume doesn't meet the school's requirements for hiring professors."

"If I had to say something, there's a reason it's because of what you said," Lin Jie said calmly. "I just can't stand how these teachers are so indifferent when students hate coming to class every day. I've heard that almost no one in Class S comes to class."

"Is that why you treated them so harshly?"

"Pretty much. After all, as a poor student, I didn't like being ignored by teachers in the past. And according to you, this S class is basically ignored by the entire school at the same time!"

"Perhaps this is why Chairperson Angela chose you to be the homeroom teacher of Class S?"

“No, it’s just a coincidence,” Lin Jie replied.
