A New Teacher
“When these people design popular games, they always have a lot of mental capacity left over and can’t use up their creative energy. So, they’ll make some mini-games and put them on their exclusive sharing forum for Aurora’s fans, to relieve their boredom.
“This game that your brother shared with you was created by Aurora’s famous wizard developer, Z.
“Other than some die-hard fans, no one else knows about Aurora’s forum.”
Lu Ning asked, “Is information on it not allowed to spread?”
“Not really, it’s just that these games had been created by their revered wizards; if the fans themselves can’t get enough of them how could they bear to share them with outsiders?”
Lu Ning nodded.
Lin Ci looked at her. “That’s why I’m curious; your brother isn’t in primary school yet, so how does he know about Aurora? And not just Aurora, but he also knows about the forum?”
Lu Ning’s face stiffened for a moment and her mind raced. “Maybe… Big Brother gave it to him to keep him entertained. Jingzhi has ADHD and often can’t quite settle down, so in order to pacify him Big Brother would get him some very difficult games to play. He has a strong desire to win, so if he can’t get past a stage he’ll keep on playing, and eventually quieten down…”
Lu Ning did not have much confidence in this yarn she spun.
However, Lin Ci believed her.
“Then it looks like your brother is a die-hard fan of Aurora. I’ve got to chat with him some day.”
Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief.
“I haven’t played this in a long time. Let’s give it a shot.”
Just as she was about to start the game, the school bell suddenly rang.
“…”
She silently returned the phone to Lu Ning.
The classroom slowly quietened down amidst the groans.
The other classes also quietened down; the entire school was quiet. Only the footsteps of teachers on their way to class could be heard.
However, even after the teacher next door had finished speaking and prepared to start his lecture, the homeroom teacher of Class 9 did not appear.
“Before the holidays, I heard that Teacher Han might be quitting.”
“Right, did Teacher Han really quit or is it fake?”
“I don’t know, but Teacher Han has never been late. Maybe it’s a new teacher who’s late because he’s still not used to the class schedule.”
“What are you talking about? The bell’s already rung, how could the teacher not hear it?”
“Hey, hey. If we get a new teacher, will we not have to hand in our holiday homework?”
“What are you thinking? A new teacher will definitely make sure to collect all our winter holiday homework. You’d better prepare to do make-up homework!”
“…”
There was a lot of chattering all around them, and Class 9 gradually became lively again.
About ten minutes later, still no teacher had arrived. However, the teacher from the next class over rushed in, fuming.
“What’s wrong with your class? Where’s the teacher?! Even with no teacher around, can’t you study quietly on your own? Do you know that you’re disturbing the other students, making so much noise?! I’ve never seen such a lazy class! If it were up to me, I’ll see if you dare make so much ruckus within one week!”
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads. The entire classroom fell silent.
The teacher was still incensed and wanted to say something. Just as she was rolling up his sleeves, she turned around and saw the principal walking towards Class 9.
“Teacher Zheng, what are you doing here?”
Teacher Zheng, who was called over, hurriedly flashed a smile. “These kids were a little noisy. I saw there was no homeroom teacher, so I managed them a bit. Since you’re here, Principal, I’ll head back to my class.”
She walked back as she spoke, but she could not help but keep looking at the tall man beside the principal. Inexplicably, her face turned red.
The principal walked straight into Class 9.
“Teacher Han, who’s in charge of your class, is resting at home as she’s expecting soon, so we’ll temporarily arrange a new homeroom teacher for everyone this semester.”
He raised his hand and pointed outside the door. Everyone turned their heads in unison to look outside…
