Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 1168 1168: The Man with the Sneer

"Someone is causing trouble in the capital?" Pierre muttered to himself.

Actually, Pierre didn't care much about the report coming from the communication magic stone. Saint Luo Mary was a multi-racial powder keg, so it would be stranger if a day went by without someone causing trouble.

However, the next sentence from the little maid made Pierre's brow furrow instantly.

"Those guys are bullying Lady Aya!! Head Maid, come help quickly!"

The atmosphere around Pierre shifted drastically.

Pierre, who hadn't even warmed his seat yet, stood up abruptly and looked solemnly at Kenzou.

"Teacher!!!"

With a voice thick with Shadow power, he shouted at Kenzou.

"Hmm?"

With a shaky movement, Kenzou turned his head away from the wall he had been banging it against. With a mix of confusion and annoyance, he asked, "What is it now?"

What was this kid trying to do this time?

Under Kenzou's suspicious stare, Pierre spoke with a straight face.

"Teacher, my stomach hurts. I'm taking a leave of absence!"

Before Kenzou could even react, Pierre was surrounded by purple-black lightning. With the force of a purple meteor, he smashed through the wall.

He vanished into the sky, leaving Kenzou standing there in shock. With a wildly twitching brow, Kenzou slammed his teaching pointer onto the desk in a rage.

"Dammit!!!!"

Going to the bathroom?! This was clearly skipping class!!

As a mentor, Kenzou felt his blood pressure spike.

On the other side of the room, Kalina looked at Pipi's empty seat and the giant hole in the wall. With her hands propping up her face, she let out a helpless sigh.

Sigh, brother really never learn.

Mother cared so much about the house, yet he went and punched a hole right through it. Was he looking for a spanking?

But remembering the unusual seriousness on Pierre's face when he left, Kalina frowned. A bad feeling bubbled up in her heart.

This stupid brother wouldn't go and do something foolish again, would he? If he messed around and made mother angry, things would get ugly.

Sigh, he really was a brother that caused nothing but worry.

With an anxious heart, Kalina stood up and looked at Kenzou with an apologetic expression.

"Brother Pierre forgot to bring toilet paper! I'll go bring him some!!"

With a stunned stare, Kenzou watched as Kalina turned into a streak of fire and chased after Pierre.

"Ehhh?!!!"

Seeing Kalina skip class so brazenly made Kenzou feel like he was having a stroke.

But Kenzou was clearly too naive, because what happened next was even worse.

Seeing their older brother and sister, especially Kalina, lead the way out of the classroom, the little ones who hated class to begin with felt their eyes light up. They stood up from their seats with excitement. They didn't dare skip class on their own, but it was different if their older siblings led the way. They had shields now!!

"I'll go with Sister Kalina! Teehee!"

"I'm going to bring brother some diapers!"

"I'll bring him some enemas!!"

With the smug comments of the little ones echoing in the room, three figures dashed out of the classroom while Kenzou watched in silence. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the large classroom held only Kenzou and a late-reacting wolf cub. After realizing her siblings were gone, Limo, who had been dragged here against her will, wasn't about to stay seated.

"Teacher!! I'm skipping class!!!"

With a look of total honesty, Limo reported to Kenzou on the podium.

Even though her intent was bad, her red eyes sparkled with innocence and sincerity.

"Is it okay?!! Is it okay?! Is it okay?!"

Kenzou felt like he had taken ten thousand points of damage. With a dead expression, he looked at Limo for a few seconds before rubbing his forehead and pointing at the hole in the wall.

"Since you're so honest, go ahead... It doesn't matter if you're in class anyway."

" ฅ^>⩊<^ ฅYay!!"

With her hands held high in a victory sign, Limo dashed out of the classroom.

Now, only the soul-weary Kenzou remained in the empty room.

"Fine, whatever. Let it all burn."

In this moment, Kenzou finally understood why Yumo handed the teaching duties to him. These little brats weren't meant to be taught by humans.

While feeling resentful, he also felt a bit curious. These kids were hard to teach, but based on recent classes, they were usually too scared of Yumo to skip. Kenzou couldn't understand why his seemingly soft-hearted sister could keep these brats in line.

But Pierre dared to skip today. Was he not afraid of Yumo, or was there really an emergency?

Calming down, Kenzou walked over to Pierre's desk.

"Come to think of it, he seemed to receive some kind of message."

Talking to himself, Kenzou noticed the communication magic stone Pierre dropped, along with a strange device. He picked up the device and looked at the screen with confusion.

"What is this? It looks just like a tablet from Earth. Hmm... wait, there's text... is this the common language of the Ancita continent?"

After becoming the manager of the trial space, Yumo didn't want to handle affairs, so she dragged Kenzou into it.

Ultimately, unable to resist his sister's threats and bribes, Kenzou compromised and agreed to help with some work. To do that, he started learning the common language. It wasn't easy to master a language from another world.

But strangely, he could understand almost everything on the screen.

"Is this... profanity?"

Like most people, the first things Kenzou learned were the insults. The screen was filled with aggressive, cursed words directed at someone.

"Hmm... a man? This word... red? A red-haired man who is... smiling?? Huh??"

While Kenzou was wondering, Mengxi was drawn by the noise and entered the room. With a look of frustration, the silver-haired girl looked at the mess and the two giant holes in the wall.

"Oh boy... Sister Yumo is going to lose it when she sees this..."

With a look of concern, Mengxi turned to Kenzou.

"What happened?"

"Pierre seemed to get some news and suddenly rushed west. The other kids followed their brother and started skipping class too."

"Hmm? He went west?"

With a puzzled tilt of her head, Mengxi asked, "What news did Pipi get?"

"I'm not sure. But looking at the messages on this tablet... it seems to be because of a red-haired man."

"A red-haired man?"

"Yeah, a red-haired man with a smile on his face..."

"A red-haired man with a smile?"

She took the tablet from Kenzou and frowned. With a strong sense of unease spreading through her like a virus, the silver-haired girl read the text.

Wait?! A red-haired man with a punchable smile?! Could it... really be him??
