The week of the professional experience was neither long nor short. Setsuna only felt that all kinds of things were happening one after another. When she came back to her senses, it was already the end of the day.

With a stomach full of new skills that had not been fully digested, she said goodbye to Hong, who moved out of the staff dormitory on the same day. Then, she carried her luggage and left this place that was exceptionally wonderful for her.

Fortunately, Sunyoung was not too cruel. After the end of the internship, there was a weekend immediately after, which could be considered as giving the students some time to adjust themselves.

Setsuna, who was rarely free, buried her head and slept for the whole morning. After relaxing her tense mind, she reconnected her phone to the power source and scrolled through the messages that she had missed out on in boredom.

[Tenya Iida: Is everyone home?]

[Shangming Electric: We're here. It's finally over. I feel like all the electricity in my body is leaking out. I don't want to move at all.]

[Setsuke Fanta: Where did you go wwww]

[Hyōka Erlang: I went to be a power bank.]

[Shangming Electric: I'm not a power bank!!

… Although I did charge it a few times.]

[Frogs Blow Plum Rain: Speaking of which, without the Ascending Ringing, it's very inconvenient when there's suddenly no electricity these few days.]

[Ashito Sana: I know, I know!

After knowing the Ascending Ringing, there are indeed times where I feel like 'Ah, if only that guy was here'!]

[Eight Million: The Electric Department is really a very practical personality in modern society.]

[Shangming Electric: I say, you guys are completely using me as a mobile power source …]

[Hyōka Erlang: Isn't it good? It's rare to be praised by all the girls. Ascending Ringing wwww]

[Shangming Electric: I don't need this kind of praise!!!]

[Tenya Iida: Please be quiet!!

We're now confirming whether everyone has safely finished the workplace experience. If you want to chat, please do so later!]

[Tenya Iida: I'll ask again, everyone, are you home safely?]

When Setsuna saw seven or eight words of "Yes" appear on the screen in unison, she held back her laughter and blended in with the same formation. Although the ridicule hidden under the order was probably incomprehensible to the overly rigid class leader, it did not stop the entire class from enjoying this activity.

After teasing the class leader and relaxing, Setsuna tidied herself up and prepared to go back to work. When she was at the door, she was asked to bring dinner at home........................

...........

"— — I knew I would meet you … Guys, where are you?"

Setsuna looked at the group in front of her with some surprise. Yes, they were all from Sunyoung High School. Yes, they were all experienced cat lovers, and it was certain that they all knew this shop like the back of their hands. However, she had never seriously compared these two people in the same frame. Worry Messenger and Kota Aizawa looked cold and indifferent, but they felt like a spiritual recovery station and a reliable guardian.

"Ah, you're already back?" The spiritual recovery station raised her eyebrows and looked at her with some surprise. "I thought it would be next week."

"The professional experience isn't just a week."

Setsuna replied. She looked at one person and then the other, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How did Mr. Aizawa and Xin Cao Kun get together?"

Don't tell me they are really attracted to each other and come here to stroke cats?

She continued to look between the two people, hoping to find a suitable answer. However, the two people in front of her didn't look at each other, and their eyes were all on her.

(…?)

She subconsciously trembled. She was no stranger to this feeling. Every time before feeding a cat, she faced an overweight cat that had to go on a diet plan because of the customer's feeding, she felt like she was being stared at.

"… Mr. Aizawa …" Worry Messenger said.

"… Ah." Aizawa said.

"… It's very suitable, right?" Worry Messenger said.

"Or rather, it's too suitable," Aizawa said.

"Please stop for a second. Is this some kind of new spiritual communication method?" Setsuna couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted.

However, it was impossible for her not to feel uncomfortable when she came back and found that she was excluded by her friends who were stroking cats. She walked behind the counter and spun the pen in her hand. She looked at the two regulars who were communicating with each other through strange waves with an expression that said, "If you don't make it clear, don't even think about getting points."

The two regulars looked at each other and tried to persuade each other. In the end, Worry Messenger spoke.

"Setsuna, you know that I have always wanted to enter the hero stream, right?"

She did know, and they even had a fight because of it. Setsuna nodded.

Worry Messenger's eyes unconsciously floated higher, "After the sports festival, maybe they felt that it was not easy for a normal student to make it to the top 16, so the school arranged an instructor for me …"

"… In other words …" Setsuna had a faint premonition in her heart. She glanced at Aizawa, who was standing on the side, and asked, "Mr. Aizawa …?"

Noticing the timing of his appearance, Aizawa, who had been acting as a backdrop for a long time, coughed softly, "It just so happens that you are all out for the professional experience. If I don't have to deal with your affairs every day, I will be more free."

This was a disguised admission.

Setsuna's face suddenly became very good. It was a mixture of confusion, relief, joy, and even a little shock. Worry Messenger's overly complicated expression made her unable to help but ask, "Are you okay?"

"… I'm probably okay."

She replied with a sci-fi expression. Then she felt that her reaction was too cold, so she hurriedly added, "I, I am happy for Xin Cao Kun.

Really, it's that … "

After thinking carefully for a long time, she added the second half of the sentence in a weak voice.

"… Mr. Aizawa has always been the head teacher of Class A, and he is very gentle. However, he has never taught us one-on-one like this, so he is a little … jealous … right?"

Then, he was met with a merciless karate chop head-on.

She squatted down with tears in her eyes. Kota Aizawa's cold voice sounded above her head, "Gentle?

Hmm?

I don't remember being the kind of person who indulges students. "

"I was wrong, Mr. Aizawa."

She changed the way she addressed him in a second and corrected her attitude, "In fact, I just feel a little unreconciled about being excluded …"

"You are not excluded."

Aizawa said indifferently. He looked at her confused eyes and repeated it again. This time, he had a little bit of a wicked smile that was unique to teachers like Kota Aizawa.

"You are not excluded."

He said with that kind of smile.

If the previous sense of crisis was only the sense of being stared at by a hungry cat, the current level of alarm was probably equivalent to being stared at by a leopard before it preyed on its prey. After the incident, Setsuna had reflected on why she didn't listen to her body's first instinct and immediately rushed out after seeing that smile. Maybe she wouldn't have been struck by lightning and become delirious.

"Let me confirm it."

She said, trying to clear her thoughts with her delirious brain, "Xin Cao Kun's personality is that of a support type who can't fight directly."

"Yes," Xin Zhou said.

"Mr. Aizawa's personality is also that of a support type who can't cause direct damage."

"That's right," Aizawa said.

"So the school thinks that, like Mr. Aizawa, the arrest weapon is very suitable for Xin Cao Kun because it doesn't directly attack the enemy.

But in the process of practice, the two of you encountered some small problems. The arrest weapon practice requires opponents, and in the case of Xin Cao Kun hitting nine out of ten stationary objects, ordinary practice targets can no longer satisfy him. "

"Generally speaking, that's the case." Xin Zhou nodded in agreement.

"And at this time, I, who has the personality of teleportation and excellent mobility, appeared."

"That's why I said it was too suitable." Aizawa nodded in agreement.

"So."

She took a deep breath and tried not to make it too obvious that she was about to collapse.

"Your teaching plan is for both sides to keep tying me up with arrest weapons for fun?"

An … silence.

An eerie silence.
