I, Iron Pilot, work as a teacher in Azure Files

"...However, it is said that before the desertification, Abydos was a fairly large school, but I don't have such memories and real impressions at all, uncle."

"In my mind, the school was a mess from the very beginning, nothing decent."

"Uncle, the main school in Abydos when I entered school is now buried in the desert, and all the seniors at that time are gone."

"Where we are now is the result of relocating several times to avoid desertification. It is essentially just a branch school."

Against the gradually dimming sunlight, the girl standing in front of Luo Lin lowered her eyebrows and whispered about her past memories. The expression on her face was as blurred as the windows covered in dust in the corridor.

"But it's also because of coming here that I was able to meet Xiao Baizi, Onomiya, Xiao Ayane, and Xiao Qinxiang..."

"Ugh……"

She let out a long sigh, then raised her head suddenly, and turned her face to look at the sunset, there was a glimmer of light reflected in the pupils of different colors, but her whole person became clear in an instant.

"Sure enough, I still like it."

Chapter 84 Thank you, teacher

Hoshino's final frank admission silenced Luo Lin, and the two stood quietly in the corridor of Abydos High School, just looking at each other, neither of them took the initiative to speak.

The setting sun gradually slanted, sliding down from the edge of the dark red clouds, hanging far away at the end of the horizon, looking precarious, as if it might be completely swallowed up at any time.

A large shadow covered Hoshino's beautiful face, hiding most of the girl's face in the haze, and even the golden pupil that was supposed to be bright also dimmed.

She sighed imperceptibly, and after a while, she slowly opened her mouth:

"...Teacher, let me tell the truth."

"Two years ago, I received proposals from those strange guys from the Caesars Group."

"It started so early."

Luo Lin nodded slightly, not showing any surprise at all, but stretched out his hand to touch his chin with a calm expression, and said speculatively:

"Let me guess, Caesars is poaching you, right?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the teacher... Is this an adult? It's really scary."

Hoshino smiled wryly and spread his hands.

"It's okay to say that it's poaching. Anyway, since I entered Abydos, they have looked for me many times."

"And now that I think about it, I also contacted me a few days ago."

Luo Lin clasped his hands in front of his chest, regardless of whether the corridor wall was dirty or not, he leaned directly against it, leaning against the wall, and said in a tone that seemed questionable but actually stated:

"On the day of the confrontation with the Disciplinary Committee."

"Yes."

Hoshino nodded, raised his eyes slightly, and said while recalling:

"The other party's argument is that I should drop out of Abydos High School and join their company."

"If you agree to this condition, half of the debt that Abydos is currently carrying can be borne by him."

The girl's voice paused for a moment, and her body also relaxed. Following Luo Lin's movements, she also leaned against the wall before continuing:

"I think this is an exceptional condition no matter who looks at it, but if I had left at that time, Abydos High School and the Countermeasures Committee might have completely collapsed, so I have always chosen to refuse..."

"Well... the situation is not far from what I expected."

Luo Lin sighed, looked into Hoshino's eyes, and suddenly said:

"However, isn't that expression a bit strange?"

"How to express it?"

Hoshino was taken aback for a moment, a little unresponsive to Luo Lin's sudden words, "You mean...?"

"It's the proposal to help Abydos bear the arrears."

Luo Lin shrugged his shoulders, and his fingers moved alternately on his arms, making a rhythmic dull sound.

"Half of all the debts of Abydos are borne by him... How can you make it seem that the so-called 'he' is not a member of the Caesars Group?"

Hoshino was startled, blinking his eyes quickly, and suddenly didn't know how to answer Luo Lin's speculation.

Express affirmation, it feels a bit too literal;

Express negative, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not completely unreasonable.

So the girl who hesitated for a while could only scratch her hair, and chose the most honest and common way of responding:

"I can only be sure that those guys should be talents that can be used in summoning the PMC company, but the real identity of the guy who contacted me may be someone from another faction in the Caesars Group. I don't know exactly how. very clear."

"But... I keep calling him 'Black Suit'."

"Black clothes?"

Luo Lin narrowed his eyes, couldn't help accentuating the pronunciation of the words, and repeated the new name he heard from Hoshino for the first time.

"Yes, that's a guy who makes people shudder from the bottom of their hearts."

Hoshino nodded his head up and down frankly, making no effort to hide his vigilance and defense against the black clothes in his expression.

"Although Kivatos is very big, I have never seen anyone like that type."

"But that's what I said, but in fact, even though I have been trying to observe him, I haven't been able to find any problems with him."

At this point, the expression on the girl's face turned into a trace of helplessness, and she smiled at Luo Lin as if mocking herself.

"The conditions he proposed are all clearly and plainly written in the contract he wants to sign with me. If I withdraw from Abydos, then those conditions can be fulfilled."

"But I don't know why, although the director of the Caesars Group is very strong in front of the black suit, but I always feel that he is stern, in fact, he should be quite afraid of the black suit."

"Maybe...the relationship between the two is a relationship between a boss and a subordinate who is directly responsible for talents in the Caesars Group? Or is it the most powerful person on the board of directors?"

Hearing Hoshino's self-comforting speculation, Luo Lin just smiled noncommittally, and didn't say anything following this line of thought, but pointed to the letter of resignation she held in her hand.

"So this letter, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"……Ugh."

Hearing that Luo Lin had returned to the topic, Hoshino's expression froze for a moment, and then he laughed helplessly.

"After all, people are always talking about the conditions. The more difficult the school is facing is actually happening. It must be a lie to say that I have never had any troubles. I can only say that sometimes I am confused for a while."

"Well, but it can be thrown away now."

She sighed, but her eyebrows and eyes were curved, like two new moons just rising, her warm breath was accompanied by the evening wind that was no longer hot, swirling little by little, and brushed past Luo Lin's side.

"Thorn-"

There was the crisp sound of paper being torn, and the letter of resignation, which had been carefully packaged, turned into flying snowflakes and fell in the corridor one after another.

"Ha, I'm finally refreshed now."

Hoshino stood up straight, stretched his arms above his head, then walked lightly, walked up to Luo Lin, raised his head and looked at him.

"Teacher, I'm really sorry for causing unnecessary misunderstanding about this letter."

"I always feel that if I tell everyone about this, it will only cause people to worry for no reason. Generally speaking, there will be no harm but no benefit."

"However, it's really not good to hide it from the lovely juniors like this. I will find an opportunity to make it clear to everyone tomorrow."

"Although it may cause them more trouble after hearing it, it's not a good way to deal with it if you keep it secret, right?"

The pink-haired girl spoke flatly, without blinking her eyes as she looked at Luo Lin.

"In reality, however, right now I can't think of any other way to deal with the problems the school is facing other than to accept that proposal."

"If it's true, as the teacher said, there will be miracles—"

The moment these words came out of his lips, Hoshino himself was stunned before he finished speaking.

As if she suddenly realized the familiarity of this situation, she savored the words she just said over and over again.

"A miracle...?"

"What should I say about this matter...Hoshino, in fact, there are no real miracles in the world of adults."

Looking at Hoshino's appearance, Luo Lin rubbed the center of his brows, as if guessing her confusion, he said lightly:

"Or to put it another way, the so-called miracle itself is made up of various coincidences."

"And this kind of coincidence, in essence, is not purely based on luck, but someone secretly planned and promoted it in a place we can't see, and finally combined it together to form a miracle that can reverse the situation."

"So whether it's a miracle, or a victory, or whatever else we desire, in a sense it's completely the same."

Luo Lin smiled, raised his hand and tapped Hoshino's little head a few times, his tone became more serious:

"It's all about human effort, Hoshino, it's all about human effort."

Facing Luo Lin's actions, Hoshino did not hide, but endured it with a smile, and even tilted his head very cooperatively.

"Well, it's rare to hear the teacher explain the truth once."

After a while, she took a few steps back, opened the distance between Luo Lin and stroked her messy hair, let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled for the last time.

"Let's end the topic here. After chatting with the teacher, I always feel a lot more relaxed."

"Then teacher, goodbye."

Seeing the back of the girl turning away, Luo Lin, whose body was mostly submerged in the darkness, shook his head.

Having said so much, didn't you still not listen at all?

A child's first lesson must always be handed over to reality so that he can remember it clearly enough.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, stood up straight and shouted:

"Hoshino."

"Ok?"

The girl's footsteps stopped, and she turned around suspiciously, but before she could see Luo Lin's figure clearly, she was attracted by something flying from mid-air.

She instinctively raised her hand to pick it up, and the moment she took it, she suddenly realized that it was undoubtedly the touch of the hard scabbard.

Taking advantage of the last light of the setting sun, Hoshino put down his hand and took a closer look, only to be sure that it was the knife that Luo Lin often used, which was similar in shape to Kunai.

"The material of this thing is quite special. According to the metal detection technology that Caesars Group has access to, the probability of finding it is infinitely close to zero."

Luo Lin's chuckling voice reached Hoshino's ears far away, and just a few words made the girl stay where she was.

"Let me borrow it from you to play with me for a few days, remember to return it to me later, don't lose it."

"Hey, do I look so depressed? And I lost something... Are you talking about people or knives?"

Hoshino bit his lip, muttered softly, and looked up at Luo Lin's blurred body outline in the shadows.

Even from a distance, the girl could still find that this teacher, who usually appeared to be approachable but actually seemed to have a very mysterious past, was waving at her at the moment.

"……thank you teacher."

Chapter 85 Please destroy my halo

The next morning, Ayane almost stepped on the tail of the early morning sunrise and arrived at the school early.

Because she was not only thinking about the school's debt problem, which suddenly became serious, but also the countermeasures that might be used in today's tactical exercise, she hardly slept well all night.

Rubbing her eyes with obvious dark circles, the girl yawned, stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the countermeasures committee meeting room, and walked in without looking.

"Haha... everyone has worked hard."

However, after saying this, there was no response from the conference room for a long time, Ayane was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was the one who arrived at the school first.

"Ah, am I actually the first..."

She reached out and rubbed her forehead, trying to concentrate more, walked to the side where she usually sat and put down her schoolbag, but when she looked up, she suddenly noticed that there was something under the pile of documents on the table, which seemed to be pressing something that was not there yesterday.

"what?"

The girl blinked her eyes vigorously, and even rubbed her eyes a few more times. Finally, she was sure that this was not a hallucination caused by her distraction. Then she stretched out her hand and carefully lifted the document on top, and pulled the new extra sheet of paper from the bottom layer. out.

The thin paper moved with her strength, but perhaps because the document above was not lifted high enough, under the action of friction, a light pink envelope slid out along with it.

"To everyone in the Abydos Countermeasures Committee... an invitation, an invitation letter? Or something else?"
