"Teacher Zhong Chen? You're back. Didn't you have something to take care of?"
Misaka Mikoto, seeing Zhong Chen suddenly appear, ran up to him with a hint of joy on her face and asked.
"It's done. Haruue, are you alright?"
"I... I'm fine."
Haruue Erii shook her head at Zhong Chen.
"Good. Ruiko was really scared when she heard you fainted."
"Saten-san? You contacted her?"
Misaka Mikoto quickly asked when she heard Zhong Chen mention Saten Ruiko.
They had been trying to contact Saten Ruiko, but couldn't reach her. They didn't expect Zhong Chen to have gotten in touch.
"Ruiko didn't ignore your calls on purpose; there was a reason. We'll talk about that later."
Saying this, Zhong Chen turned his gaze to Kiyama Haruue, who simply glanced at Zhong Chen.
"Sir, no, I mean, Teacher, what did you mean by that just now?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. I can help you escape all punishment, but I have one condition."
After hearing Zhong Chen's words, Kiyama Haruue wasn't surprised. Having a condition was normal; no one helps others for no reason.
Especially someone like her, a criminal who single-handedly challenged the entire Academy City.
"What condition?"
Although she didn't think he could help her, there was still a glimmer of hope.
"After this is over, you'll work for me. Don't worry, it's not dangerous work; you'll still be a teacher."
"That simple?"
Kiyama Haruue was stunned when she heard the condition Zhong Chen proposed.
Was this condition a bit too simple? Although working for him would be like selling herself to him,
compared to the goal she wanted to achieve, she could completely accept this price.
"What, do you want me to propose some more difficult conditions?"
"No, it's just... can you really change the decision of Academy City's higher-ups? And those children..."
Zhong Chen looked at Kiyama Haruue, who seemed a bit down when mentioning the children, a smile appeared on his lips, and he softly snapped his right fingers.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Chen, bowing with his right hand over his chest and saying:
"Lord Chen!"
Haruue Erii, seeing the super-large figure that appeared, pointed at him in surprise and shouted loudly:
"Eh!!! Isn't that the new security guard the school hired?"
There was no way around it; his nearly three-meter height was simply too eye-catching.
In fact, he had already used a secret technique to lower his height; otherwise, a five-meter height in Academy City would no longer be just eye-catching.
It would make people suspect he was some kind of humanoid monster that escaped from a laboratory.
At that time, all the students in the school, upon seeing him, couldn't help but feel a shiver.
"Katakuri, go bring all her students over. As for where they are, I think someone will tell you soon."
Zhong Chen glanced at the sky, then instructed Katakuri in front of him.
"Yes, Lord Chen!"
Katakuri nodded slightly after hearing Zhong Chen's command, then his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
"Um... Teacher Zhong Chen, is that guy your subordinate?"
Misaka Mikoto, thinking of the incredibly tall body just now, asked Zhong Chen with a shocked expression.
"That's right, he's my subordinate. How about it, isn't he quite intimidating!"
Misaka Mikoto and Haruue Erii both nodded in unison, agreeing.
"Kiyama Haruue, what's your answer?"
Hearing Zhong Chen's question, Kiyama Haruue looked at the surrounding ruins, then gave Zhong Chen a deep look, and nodded slightly, saying:
"If you can really save those children, you can take my life anytime."
"What would I want your life for? I want you."
Upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, Misaka Mikoto and Haruue Erii immediately turned bright red.
"Wow!!! So Teacher Zhong Chen likes this type..."
"How bold!"
Hearing the two little girls' whispers, Zhong Chen's face instantly darkened.
"What are you two little girls thinking? You're young, but you know a lot."
"Go, go, quickly go help Ruiko deal with that monster!"
After hearing Zhong Chen's words, the two little girls saluted Zhong Chen in unison, and mischievously shouted:
"Yes, we'll disappear immediately!"
Zhong Chen watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
Kiyama Haruue also watched them leave, a flicker of memory in her eyes, and she said softly:
"They're really good children... very much like those children..."
Zhong Chen didn't say anything more after hearing Kiyama Haruue's words.
Instead, he was thinking that bringing a good teacher back to the Chairwoman should make her slightly less angry.
At this moment, in the Chairwoman's office in Monster Country Federation Academy City.
Shizue, who always had a gentle expression, was looking grimly at the three trembling little ones in front of her.
"Your name is Doraemon, right..."
Doraemon, hearing Shizue's cold words, was startled and quickly bowed 90 degrees, shouting loudly:
"Yes!!! I... I... I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!!!"
Tom and Jerry, seeing this, also quickly bowed 90 degrees, cold sweat constantly flowing, not daring to say another word.
At this time, the office was not only occupied by Shizue and the three little ones, but also by more than a dozen Headmasters from various academies.
"I thought you were supposed to be a good child. Why are you hanging out with these two mischievous rascals?"
Hearing Shizue's question, Doraemon disloyally sold out his master.
"It was Zhong Chen who told me to play with them."
"What! It's Lord Chen again. Chairwoman, you really should keep Lord Chen in check."
"His pets have become the biggest source of disaster in the entire Academy City."
"That's right. They're blowing up schools today and destroying roads tomorrow. The government departments are starting to complain that we've monopolized all the construction teams."
Shizue looked at Ivankov, who was speaking, and the gloom on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile as she looked at everyone present and said:
"Haha, A Chen knew I'd be angry, so he's already run off to another world. Even Rimuru and the others have gone to the Eastern Empire to avoid me."
Hearing Shizue's words, Toreini, standing beside her, narrowed her eyes and also smiled, saying:
"Chairwoman, it seems your deterrent power is as terrifying as ever."
Shizue, hearing Toreini's words, gently shook her head and softly said:
"A Chen and the others are just humoring me; I don't have any deterrent power."
"But it's true that this matter needs to be properly handled. Letting you three little rascals cause trouble everywhere isn't good."
At this point, Shizue began to ponder how to deal with these three troublemakers.
Suddenly, she thought of a very good idea, then looked at the three little ones and said:
"Starting tomorrow, you three will go to school. I'll instruct Sakuya to keep an eye on you."
As soon as they heard they had to go to school, the three little ones immediately looked as if they had lost their parents.
And Shizue, seeing the three little ones like this, her eyes instantly sharpened. After glancing at them, she asked faintly:
"Do you three have any objections?"
The three little ones cautiously looked up at Shizue, only to see her looking at them with a half-smile, which instantly startled them, and they quickly shouted loudly:
"No! Sir!
