I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

"Then why don't you try your best this time?"

"Maybe it's because the skill hasn't finished cooling down."

I realized my slip of the tongue only after I said it casually.

"Huh?" She didn't seem to understand.

He is indeed a teacher in the traditional sense. If it were Brother Nan, he would probably understand.

"No, I mean, by then the potential will probably be unleashed."

"You can't rely on luck, especially since you're a boy. You can't be too low on yourself." She said as she took the list back from my hand, because the bell for the end of get out of class had already rung and it was time to eat.

"Then let me see your progress in the next class."

She said this and left immediately.

And I'm still debating whether or not to put that statement behind me.

.......................

"So this is why the teacher called me..."

"Yeah, that's right."

It feels like the club I haven't visited for a long time has not changed at all. It's just that after I exhausted my energy at noon today, I didn't want to do anything meaningful, so I just played games with Lingcan.

Maybe because I forgot about it after the PE class, Ayasan's usual twintails were replaced with a single ponytail that's more comfortable for exercise. It gives me a different feeling.

Although they were chatting calmly at this time, the battle on the screen was extremely fierce.

"Oh... your skills seem to be getting better."

I can actually use frame breaks to perform combos, which is a huge improvement in combat. And I also rarely get the focus I normally have on playing games.

"Of course. What do you think I do when I have nothing to do... Watch out! Aya-style running kill!"

The character, whose rage increased its damage, quickly ran towards me, stretched out its arms and grabbed the character I was controlling. However, based on my judgment, it should not be able to catch me at that distance.

"...Wow, this is a strange judgment..."

With the combo that comes with the skill, my health bar, which was already low, suddenly dropped to the bottom.

"...Ah, no way."

I was actually knocked out by Lingcan.

"Oh, this is my first victory against a real opponent since I joined the club!"

This result is too tragic no matter how you look at it.

"...So? Are you going to practice?"

At this time, Rinquanchuan, who had been silent all the time, had put down his book, picked up the brewed tea and walked towards me, and I also took out my own special teacup.

It still has my name on it.

"Practice what? Games?"

"Oh, of course running." As she said this, she straightened the tilted teapot, and the amount of tea in the cup was just right. She then turned to Ling Shen beside her to add more tea for her.

"Hmm... there's no need to practice that kind of thing." I responded while taking a sip.

"Oh, really..." She didn't seem to have a clear opinion, "But Mr. Zheng is very strict."

"...is our PE teacher's surname Zheng?"

"I'm not sure, but everyone calls her Sister Zheng~" Lingcan answered first, "And it's said that her popularity is no less than our Brother Nan's."

“…” Quite speechless.

Are even teachers starting to become idols these days?

"Um..."

Linquanchuan didn't seem interested, so he remained silent and sat back down. Lingcan quickly finished his not-so-hot tea and eagerly picked up the controller. "Hurry up and finish it. Let's do it again. My ten-game winning streak will start with you."

“…” I didn’t want to refute anything.

"Come to think of it, don't you think we don't see her very often? Or am I the only one who thinks so?" I asked my question completely unconsciously. "And it doesn't seem like her class is occupied, because Nan Ge will come to cover after explaining it. Generally speaking, occupied classes are directly replaced by other classes."

"Oh, now that you put it that way it seems to be true." Ling Can seemed to realize this only after I reminded him.

"It feels a bit strange...but it's none of my business." After convincing myself in this way, I began to savor the tea in the cup seriously.

"I always feel... a little curious." Lingcan seemed to be still struggling with this topic.

"...Stop being so curious!"

Is this imitating some curious young lady? But I'm not one to be easily influenced, and besides, how could there be hidden crimes in normal life?

So just don't say anything.

"Don't meddle in other people's affairs, or you might regret it later."

And the best example is myself.

"Oh, now that you've said that, I can't just pretend I didn't hear it."

It seemed that an inappropriate topic was brought up inadvertently, and Rinquanchuan, who usually did not respond to our conversation, actually stood up and spoke.

"How about doing some club activities occasionally?"

"..."

"Ohhh! Go investigate!"

...Isn't what I'm doing a club activity?

Holding the teacup, I began to feel sad about the sign at the door that read "Tea Ceremony Society".

Well, let me feel sad for a while.

Unexpected super expansion

During the second period, Lin Quanchuan and Ling Can came over to me. After driving away the annoying Liu Yan, Ling Can took his place, and Lin Quanchuan sat in his own seat.

"What are you...doing?"

I'm a little confused about the current situation.

"Let's discuss the club activities decided yesterday." Ling Can took the initiative to explain to me.

"No..."

I thought they were just talking yesterday, but now it seems they're serious about investigating... I feel like this club is heading in a strange direction. From the previous club leader personally attending a concert to now playing games in the club room, now they're even going so far as to investigate their own teacher.

This club should just be renamed "Tea Ceremony Game Detective Agency"... Or "S0S Group" would be fine too, since it's not really about the main job anyway. It's just that the leader's abilities are a little different.

Ah, I almost forgot that our club still doesn't have enough real members. That would make it even simpler... just call it an "attribute enthusiast club."

"You're daydreaming again!"

As I was speaking, I was hit on the head by Lingcan's little fist.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, who said that just now?" he asked, rubbing his head symbolically.

"Oh, it seems like it's because of the topic of stalking that this guy's delusional nature has been triggered? He really is a pervert. I thought he had overcome it after not having an attack for a while, but I didn't expect his nature to be hard to change."

"...I was thinking about the battle plan...yes, the battle plan."

"Oh, really?" She looked at me with distrust. "Then tell me what you've come up with."

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Tsk." She showed a look of disdain and picked up a piece of paper from the table. "Then I'll say it again, you little bastard, listen carefully."

"Yes, it sounds nice." As I said that, I felt my head being rubbed. It was Lingcan who stood up and put his hand on my head. "Otherwise, I will shatter your fantasy!"

You actually said such a line... Be careful or misfortune will befall you.

"This is a class schedule, but it's for faculty members only. It records Mr. Zheng's regular class schedule," Lin Quanchuan explained seriously. "And I just saw that she has one last class this afternoon. We can investigate her whereabouts after school."

"Oh, I agree!" Lingcan responded excitedly without a word. ...I think there are very few things she would object to.

"I have an opinion. We are not respecting other people's privacy." Besides, it is completely meaningless and will waste time and energy. The most important thing is that I can't go home with Ye Hui.

"Are you stupid? It would be bad if you were discovered." Lin Quanchuan looked at me with disgust.

I think you are the one who is most likely to be exposed.

"Let's put that aside for now. I'm just curious where you got that schedule?"

"Oh... ahem, that's none of your business." Rinquanchuan, with a wandering look, changed the conversation.

I always feel it's a bit suspicious. Was it obtained through some dishonorable means?

"So, after the vote..." she began her final summary...why was that the summary.

And there was no vote at all.

"We'll gather this afternoon."

"Oh~"

"..."

Hope everything goes well.

Chapter 19: Unexpected Super Development

"Ding~dong~clang~dong~"

The bell for the end of get out of class has already rung, and Lingcan is the first to stand up. He shouts "School is over!" and jumps directly from his seat.

"Lingsan-san, did I say get out of class is over?"

The math teacher, who was already middle-aged and had a dangerously receding hairline, tapped the blackboard with the ruler in his hand with an annoyed look on his face, and looked at Ling Shen who raised his hands high in cheers.

"Ah... no?" She slowly lowered her raised hands. I don't know if it was unconscious, but she looked at me with eyes full of grievance.

Although I sympathize, there's nothing I can do.

So I looked out the window.

"Hurry up and sit down."

"...Oh, okay." She sat quietly in her seat, with bursts of laughter around her.

"Okay, let's look at this question... If anyone dares to laugh, I'll extend the time by ten minutes."

Under the teacher's suppression and everyone's expectation of going home, there was no loud laughter in the class, which alleviated some of the embarrassment to a certain extent.

...Being too positive isn't a good thing.

........................

"Damn it! This is so embarrassing! How could this happen... My reputation is ruined just like that!"

After school, Lingcan complained immediately.

"Okay, okay, no one will care. Maybe someone will even think you're cute because of this." I hurriedly tried to comfort her.

The attribute of a reckless girl is not very popular.

"No time to chat, let's go." Lin Quanchuan picked up his schoolbag and ran out the door, which was rare. After a moment of hesitation, Lingcan and I quickly followed him.

"Hey, Loser Knight, do you have any magic spells that can cause amnesia?"

"Don't call me that, and I don't know magic."

"What? You're useless, so you're useless."

"It's not your turn to say that!"

After a few words, we followed the Rinquan River. We had already reached the bottom of the building, and Ye Hui's figure appeared in my sight.

"It's been delayed for so long, let's just give up. The teacher might have already left."

Although she was talking to Linquanchuan, her eyes were full of Yehui. She seemed a little confused as to why we came out together so early, so she didn't approach rashly.

"Oh, what a coincidence." As I said that, my face was forcibly turned to the side, facing the direction of the door.
