The female teacher didn’t notice a thing.
She tucked away the seal, looking extremely satisfied.
“Mister, I won’t ask you to do anything dangerous. I just need you to stand on the street every day, be sweet to some young girls, and then lead them into the sect.”
Lin Lue thought, ‘So she really wants me to sell myself.’
“Now, mister, I will give you a blessing. Go bring your sister over. I permit her to join us as well!”
The female teacher stood with her back to Lin Lue, looking out the window at the bright sunlight. She looked quite imposing.
Lin Lue spoke up.
“Teacher…”
“Don’t call me teacher. From now on, just call me by my code name.”
“My name is: Rich Lady.”
She closed her eyes and turned around, feeling that she had established enough authority.
She slowly opened her eyes.
A brick occupied her field of vision, growing larger as it swung with a whistling wind, slamming ruthlessly into her face.
Bang!!!
The teacher’s face collapsed on the spot, and blood sprayed from her nose.
She staggered back, looking at Lin Lue in disbelief.
“You… you dare to sneak attack me… pfft-gah!”
Lin Lue didn’t pause.
He closed the distance with a cold gaze, the brick in his hand imbued with Space Power.
He showed no mercy, striking again and again!
With just a few blows, he beat her until she collapsed softly to the ground.
The female teacher’s face was covered in blood, her expression a mix of rage, distortion, and a hint of confusion.
She was likely wondering why a common brick could break through her defenses.
Broken teeth mixed with blood in her mouth.
“You… you’re doing this…”
Lin Lue threw the brick one last time, printing it squarely onto her face and successfully putting her to sleep.
“What kind of person do you think you are, daring to target my sister?”
Lin Lue spat on the ground and clapped his hands.
He turned to look at the little girl who had just hopped down from his chest.
She was currently standing in a corner, her head nodding as she drifted off to sleep.
She had good intuition.
Lin Lue liked that. It made the long time he had spent acting as her “bed” worth it.
Lin Lue walked over and crouched down.
Just as he was about to reach out and pat her little head, the girl suddenly raised her tiny hand and pointed behind him.
Lin Lue froze for a second and looked back.
He saw the fallen teacher’s body expanding rapidly.
Her skin was cracking, emitting an ominous scarlet light.
The Magic Power inside her was surging out of control.
‘Self-detonation?!’
Lin Lue was shocked.
Without a word, he leaned down to scoop up the little girl and lunged out the window.
A violent explosion roared!
The entire office was engulfed in scorching flames.
The building collapsed with a thunderous crash, and a column of dust shot into the sky.
A fierce wind sent rubble flying everywhere.
Lin Lue crawled up from the grass, looking disheveled.
His first priority was to check on the girl he had protected beneath him.
Aside from her hair being a bit messy, she was uninjured.
He stood up and looked back at the burning ruins, unable to help but click his tongue.
As expected of a cultist.
Such a massive commotion would definitely alert the school’s higher-ups—maybe even the Principal.
Lin Lue thought about it but decided not to leave.
Given his speed, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape anyway.
Sure enough, after only a few moments, a large group of teachers rushed to the scene.
Their auras were powerful and oppressive.
Every single one of them was a Witch.
The weakest among them was a Third-Order Witch.
Lin Lue felt like he could hardly move.
In the face of high-level Witches, his strength as a First-Order Witch was simply not worth mentioning.
Lin Lue reached out, preparing to take out the recording stone he carried with him to prove his innocence.
He was always in the habit of keeping a backup plan.
But before he could speak, all the teachers in front of him suddenly bowed in unison.
Their postures were respectful to the extreme.
Lin Lue was completely bewildered.
Could it be that they already knew he was the one who dealt with the cultist teacher hidden on campus? Were they thanking him?
Just as he was about to break into a smile, he heard them shout in unison, “Lord Principal!”
Lin Lue was stunned.
‘Principal? Who is the Principal?’
Lin Lue looked behind him, but there was no one there.
He felt a tug on his sleeve.
Lin Lue looked down at his side.
The silver-haired little girl raised a fair, petite palm.
Her long silver hair shimmered like a flowing river of stars under the sunlight.
She tilted her head slightly, her purple eyes misty and weary.
Her voice was soft and sweet.
“Standing… is so tiring. Now, are you willing to carry me of your own accord?”
Lin Lue thought for zero point one seconds.
He straightened his back, dropped to one knee with a solemn expression, and declared on the spot, “Through fire and water, Lord Principal!”
[High-quality capture target detected: Tang Xinxin]
[Target recorded!]
[Temporary route initiated!]
[Weakness identified, detecting desires…]
[Mission triggered: Hold her and let her sleep peacefully in your arms.]
[Mission Reward: Magic Power Points +10]
As Lin Lue pulled her into his arms and watched the [Magic Power Points +10] drop, he felt that this System update was quite wonderful.
However, this temporary route…
Lin Lue felt it was likely similar to the “branches” in the dating sims he used to play.
The surrounding female teachers’ gazes were dangerously sharp, as if they wanted to cut him with their eyes.
“Sob, sob, sob! Why is the Principal clinging to him?!”
“Damn it! I want to hold the soft and squishy Principal too!”
“The Principal’s little feet, hehehehe— “
“One sniff of the Principal brings peace of mind. One taste would surely allow for an instant breakthrough!”
Lin Lue glanced at the youthful sleeping face in his arms.
Her little mouth was slightly open, and she was drooling a bit.
Never mind, those few teachers should be sent straight to the electric chair!
“Why is your worldview so small? I want to hold the Principal, and I want this handsome man too! I want to hold both! I want everything!”
Lin Lue was speechless.
He began to feel worried about the education his sister was receiving.
He had a feeling these female teachers weren’t very reliable.
***
Climbing over the wall, Lin Lue hadn’t expected to land on a soft, cute, silver-haired, purple-eyed loli who was less than 1.4 meters tall.
Even less did he expect that this tiny thing with misty eyes—who looked like she needed protection—would actually be the Principal of the Witch Academy!
Lin Lue was beyond shocked!
The thought that his sister might be given a hard time or targeted because of this made him feel like the world was ending.
However, there was a way.
He was someone with a System.
He could generate missions based on the deepest desires of his capture targets.
As long as he completed the missions, he could gradually increase his Affection Level with the target.
If he could raise this little Principal’s Affection Level high enough, forget being targeted—he might even be able to secure some protection and privileges for his sister.
Therefore…
[Mission ‘Feed Milk’ completed!]
[System Reward: Magic Power Points +10]
Inside the understated yet luxurious office, Tang Xinxin lay on the sofa.
Her small head was tilted slightly, her eyes closed, and warm milk left a faint trace on the corner of her pink lips.
She could no longer hold the half-empty glass, and it slipped from her soft little hand.
A crisp shattering sound echoed in the quiet room.
The glass smashed against the polished wooden floor, breaking into several pieces as milk splashed everywhere.
Some splashed into her small shoes, making them sticky.
Even more splashed onto her legs, soaking her white stockings.
Her silver eyelashes were long, fluttering like butterfly wings.
Her sleeping face was adorable. It seemed that having wet feet didn’t bother her in the slightest.
Lin Lue looked at the shards and the milk on the floor.
His inner neat freak couldn’t take it.
He knelt down and moved quickly to pick up the shards one by one, tossing them into the trash can.
Then, he began to clean up the spilled milk from the floor.
