Heroes Return

"Hey classmate, wanna join some spicy strips?" Spicy Strip Guy asked the newly joined girl.

"No! Teacher, you're such a bad guy! Teacher, you're such an idiot!" Felicia shouted at Lin Jie, "Teacher, you're such a bad guy!"

"It's such a waste for cute girls to stay at home all day. Since they're cute, they should come out and be seen more often!" Lin Jie patted Felicia's head.

"No way! Jill, untie me!" the girl said, but then shouted at the air beside her.

“Your Jill can’t help you,” Lin Jie said calmly. “This is the Immortal Binding Rope. Not to mention you, even a stronger ability user couldn’t break it.”

“Teacher, you big idiot!” Felicia said to Lin Jie.

"See that idiot who just got knocked out?" Lin Jie pointed to Zhi Nian beside him. "That's because he kept cursing at me, so I got annoyed and had someone knock him out as soon as he woke up. If you're planning to do the same..."

Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, Felicia shut her mouth in fear.

"As expected of a teacher, still not polite to girls!" The three henchmen came over and flattered Lin Jie.

"Teacher, isn't it a bit much to keep a girl like this?" Justin said somewhat uneasily.

"Huh?" The three henchmen immediately looked at Justin simultaneously: "Huh? Do you have a problem with what the teacher said?"

Do you want to die?

"How dare you question a teacher? Do you believe I'll throw you into the sea?"

"No, no, no, no...no!" Justin shook his head repeatedly in fright. "I...I...I'm just worried..."

"Huh?" Just as the three henchmen were about to say something, Lin Jie spoke up, "You're right, dragging a pretty girl along like this is really too cruel. I might get condemned by a lot of people."

"It would be strange if someone like you wasn't condemned!" At this moment, most of the students had the same thought in their minds.

“Alright, since that’s the case, Justin, I’ll give you an opportunity that many boys dream of.” Lin Jie said to Justin, “You’re responsible for carrying her on your back.”

"Hey hey hey? I...I...was I carrying her on my back?"

"Or a princess carry would be fine too."

"Hey? A princess carry..." Justin's face turned red instantly.

"Boss...Teacher, since this kid doesn't want to, let us carry him!" The three henchmen walked over at this moment.

"Teacher, you can tell from the lecherous looks on their faces that they're not suitable for this role." Ye Daoshen walked over at this moment: "Leave the matter of gently holding the little princess to me!"

"You bastard who only wants to go back to his old school and build a harem, do you think I would entrust such a cute girl to someone like you who will eventually follow in Cheng Ge's footsteps?" Lin Jie said calmly to Ye Daoshen.

Who is Brother Cheng?

"Your senior."

After Lin Jie finally rejected their request, Justin somewhat embarrassedly picked up Felicia. Lin Jie had to admit that Felicia was a very beautiful girl, the kind who possessed both beauty and cuteness. If it weren't for her strange behavior, Lin Jie was sure she would be the type to be adored by many boys wherever she went. So why did she refuse to go to school?

Throughout the journey, Lin Jie could clearly see Felicia's resistance to her classmates... Of course, it was also quite normal for those students who clearly didn't seem like good people to be resisted.

The group once again successfully attracted the attention of many students and mentors. Rumors even circulated among the hero students that mentor Lin Jie and his students had formed a delinquent group to bully their classmates.

Of course, because Lin Jie himself was leading the team, many students with a strong sense of justice did not come up to cause trouble, after all, attacking a mentor is no joke.

Moreover, those tied up by Lin Jie were all his own students. However, this matter has already been closely monitored by the Disciplinary Committee and the Student Council.

Before long, led by the students, the group arrived at the school's most famous magic library.

"Is the fourth Calabash Brother here?" Lin Jie asked.

Just as Lin Jie spoke, an image of a student wearing a magic robe appeared in front of him.

"Go back, I'm not planning to go to class."

"You already knew I was coming?" Lin Jie asked the image. "Are you Harry?"

“My crystal ball has been monitoring your movements,” Harry replied. “Actually, there’s a reason I’m not going to class.”

"No matter the reason, it will never happen again," Lin Jie said.

“It’s different. In fact, I’ve already learned all the magic-related courses, so I won’t waste my precious research time on courses I’ve already mastered. As for me, scientific knowledge is completely useless. You know, the mysteries of magic are the foundation for exploring the true nature of reality.” Harry’s image said calmly, “So I don’t plan to give up my research to take your courses. If it really doesn’t work out, I will apply for leave from the council.”

"Are you a researcher?" Lin Jie asked.

"Yes."

Do you know where you are?

"World Heroes Academy"

"Then what are you doing in this place that trains violent professionals?" Lin Jie asked. "I don't care what kind of research you're doing, but you have to get out here right now."

After saying that, a stick appeared in Lin Jie's hand: "I've canceled all those courses that you said were useless to you. Now, Class S only has practical courses left. You'll become a hero after graduation, right? A hero without any practical combat skills will only die faster."

No sooner had Lin Jie finished speaking than a boy holding a crystal ball appeared in his line of sight. This boy was none other than Harry.

“Teacher, if my research is completed, my strength will be greatly improved without affecting my actual combat,” Harry said. “I am now creating my own magic.”

"Is your magic power level strong enough?" Lin Jie asked. "The information says you have a B-level magic power level, right?"

“Yes, but once this magic being researched is completed, I will be able to unleash A-level strength,” Harry said confidently to Lin Jie. “That’s why I don’t have time to go to class.”

“You’ve got it completely wrong, kid.” Lin Jie said to Harry, “If you spent your time improving your own strength, you wouldn’t need to study that kind of boring stuff at all. Your strength is too weak, so you’ve limited your goal to A-level.”

"But teacher..."

“Attack me with your strongest magic,” Lin Jie said to the Harry.

"What? Teacher, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Of course I'm not joking. You should come when I tell you to," Lin Jie said to him.

"Since you've said so, teacher, then I won't stand on ceremony." As he spoke, a dozen pale fireballs formed around Harry, and as the fireballs formed, the surrounding temperature immediately began to drop.

"Oh? Is it cold fire?" Lin Jie raised an eyebrow. "Very few people can master cold fire."

As Lin Jie spoke, ice began to cover the area around Harry.

Flames suddenly rose from the frozen fire soldier's body, and the other students all gathered around him.

chapter Ten

"Teacher, are you sure you want me to attack you?" Harry looked at Lin Jie, manipulating the several balls of cold fire around him.

"Come on," Lin Jie said with a yawn. "You've been posing for ages, the sprinklers on the grass over there are going to freeze in a minute."

"Alright then, be careful." Harry said, and several balls of cold fire flew toward Lin Jie.

Lin Jie simply made a movement, raising his staff and striking. Several balls of cold fire were extinguished with a single swing of his staff.

"How could this be?" Harry looked at Lin Jie with some surprise. He had expected Lin Jie to be able to block his cold fire. But Harry did not expect that Lin Jie would block his cold fire in such an easy way.

"Teacher, are you trying to tell me that your level is much higher than mine, so you don't need to use any tricks to beat me?" Harry asked. "But when you're evenly matched, you need skill, so your demonstration doesn't convince me."

"You're overthinking it. I just want to tell you that if you don't behave, the next thing I'll do is hit your true form with this stick." Lin Jie said to Harry, "Hurry up and come back to class with me. I promised the beautiful girl that I would transform you into outstanding students and future heroes."

After hearing Lin Jie's words, Harry paused for a moment, then his hand instantly pointed at Lin Jie. A strange energy suddenly shot towards Lin Jie.

The next second, Lin Jie, struck by the energy, turned into a rat in everyone's astonished gaze.

"Alright, I'm going back to my research." Having turned Lin Jie into a mouse, Harry turned and headed back towards the library. "Don't come looking for me again unless it's absolutely necessary. Did you really think that cold fire magic was my most powerful magic? Stupid..."

But before Harry could even utter the word "egg," he felt something tugging at his trouser leg. He tried to pull it off twice, but it wouldn't budge.

Harry turned his head and saw a mouse grabbing his trouser leg. Seeing Harry looking at him, the mouse suddenly swung its leg and kicked Harry hard in the face, sending him flying.

Before Ali even had a chance to cast an instant spell, the rat that Lin Jie had transformed into grabbed one of his fingers.

Then, everyone present witnessed a twelve-hit combo of over-the-shoulder throws, delivered by a rat. Dizzy and disoriented from the beatings, Harry, seeing the rat about to continue, struggled to say, "Wait! I'm sorry, teacher! I'll turn you back right now, and I'll go to class with you immediately!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Jie stopped what he was doing.

Harry recited the spell over Lin Jie again, but instead of turning Lin Jie back, he turned him into an ant...

"You dare hit me!" Harry said, taking a bottle from a roadside trash can and slamming it down on Lin Jie, who had transformed into an ant...

Then the bottle was broken, and everyone witnessed once again the ant-like version of the 24-hit over-the-shoulder throw.

The gentlemanly demeanor he once possessed as a mage had been completely shattered by Lin Jie's relentless attacks. Tortured by the ants Lin Jie had transformed into, he cried out with difficulty, "This time...this time I really will turn you back!"

Seeing that the ants had stopped, Harry silently cast a spell, and Lin Jie was transformed back to his original form.

"Remember, don't try to provoke anyone who's higher level than you," Lin Jie said to Harry. "We should go!"

“Wait. Since this is a practical lesson, I need to go get my wand,” Harry said to Lin Jie.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you here,” Lin Jie said to Harry.

Not long after, Lin Jie saw Harry come out carrying an ancient-looking box.

"Looks like this kid's up to something again." Lin Jie sighed and said, "He really is a fool who never learns from his mistakes."

At this moment, Harry opened the box in his hand to Lin Jie, and immediately a magic circle enveloped him and Lin Jie.

As he was enveloped, Lin Jie felt himself bound to the spot, and at the same time, he saw that Harry on the other side was also bound to the spot.

"What kind of trick are you up to now?" Lin Jie asked.

"This is a card magic barrier I specially made! Even people of S rank or higher will be bound by the magic," Harry said proudly. "However, this magic is two-way; only afterward can the cards around you attack your opponent."

"That's interesting. I used to be the neighborhood gaming king and queen of failure," Lin Jie said. "Knowing you can't beat me, you're planning to take revenge on me with this kind of dark game?"

"Hehe, if I win, don't bother me again," Harry said to Lin Jie.

Do you think I would accept this sudden, forced confrontation?

“Then you can lie here for the day.” With that, Harry drew six cards from the deck beside him: “Let me show you the terror of this card magic I’ve developed. I’m going to summon the most terrifying monster from Norse mythology, Fenrir the wolf!”

As he spoke, a giant demonic wolf appeared in front of Lin Jie.

“Now, activate this dark pact!” Harry said, picking up his second card: “Summon the contracted demon! Equip the Mask of Greed and the Axe of Envy. Due to the effect of the Axe of Envy, you will be unable to draw cards normally! And the effect of the Mask of Greed will randomly destroy one card in your hand.”

As he spoke, one of the five initial cards that Lin Jie had just picked up disappeared.

"I have a question. All my cards are blank," Lin Jie said.

“This deck of cards produces different cards based on the individual’s mental state!” Harry said. “Of course, you can’t control the effects yourself. Alright, my turn is over.”

Upon hearing Harry's words, Lin Jie carefully examined the four cards in his hand.

"I've got a pattern!" Lin Jie exclaimed in surprise. "This game is interesting. I'll activate this one then."

Immediately afterward, a magic card titled 'Give You a Smash' appeared in Lin Jie's hand. The next moment, a huge iron rod smashed Harry's monster wolf to death.
