I'm an Undercover Witch, Not a Bed-Warming Witch!

Chapter 84

84. The New Homeroom Teacher

"Did you hear? Yesterday..."

"You mean about the Great Witches attacking the Witch Academy? The level one alarm was triggered, how could I not hear about it..."

"And the Sky-Reaching Tower too. Someone took pictures last night, there were at least seven or eight Great Witches there!"

"Oh my god!"

"And at Huixing Harbor..."

"..."

Many major events happened last night, and the forum had gone completely crazy. When Meng Lian arrived at class the next day, she heard many people discussing what had occurred.

Since Meng Lian had been at Huixing Harbor last night and returned to her dorm in low spirits, she had no mood to browse the forum and knew nothing about other matters.

"Class Monitor, did you see that video last night? Why do I feel like that person looks so much like our homeroom teacher?"

Shen Ning leaned close to Meng Lian, played a short video for her, and spoke mysteriously.

Meng Lian was full of question marks. How did this have anything to do with Bai Wei?

Meng Lian looked at the short video. It was very blurry, seemingly filmed from very far away, but she could still see six or seven witches surrounding and attacking one witch. Meng Lian examined the witch being surrounded more closely. The more she looked, the more she felt it resembled Bai Wei.

"Right? I said it looked familiar too. Qingluan and the others kept saying I was seeing things."

Shen Ning looked at Meng Lian's expression and knew the other shared her thoughts.

"Hey, Class Monitor, do you think our homeroom teacher might be..."

Shen Ning was from the Witch House. Naturally, last night's huge commotion had sparked discussions among everyone there, and Shen Ning had heard some secret rumors.

A mysterious Great Witch, the Dean personally getting involved, the massive explosion at Huixing Harbor...

All these exciting things made Shen Ning catch a whiff of something called the truth.

But before Shen Ning could finish speaking, a new face pushed open the door and walked in.

"Quiet. My name is Yuan, and I am your new homeroom teacher."

Yuan appeared as a black-haired girl, roughly one point six meters tall, with long straight black hair. She didn't look like a teacher, but her aura of keeping strangers away added a touch of aloofness to her presence.

This girl calling herself Yuan stunned everyone in the class.

What was going on?

Meng Lian in particular suddenly thought of that short video from earlier. The witch who resembled Bai Wei, and now Bai Wei had disappeared, replaced by a new homeroom teacher. An extremely shocking guess suddenly popped into Meng Lian's mind.

Bai Wei, she...

It couldn't be...

"Teacher, where is our original homeroom teacher?"

Finally, someone asked. Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

"Don't know."

Unexpectedly, Yuan gave an answer no one had anticipated.

"How the hell should I know where that woman ran off to? Damn it, I'm already tired enough teaching alchemy, and now they want me to fill in as homeroom teacher too. I don't know what the academy is thinking."

Yuan acted like a temperamental young miss, leaving everyone below completely dumbfounded.

They seemed to sense a thick resentment of an overworked employee.

However, Yuan wasn't completely clueless. She had seen that short video too, and combined with how hot those events from last night were trending online, plus Bai Wei's disappearance today, and then recalling the list the Dean had given them not long ago, Yuan already had an answer in her heart.

But Yuan also knew this matter ran deep. After all, the academy's attitude toward it was extremely cautious, treating it like a hot potato to be resolved as quickly as possible.

Yuan thought back to early this morning when the Dean had gone crazy for some reason and suddenly called a meeting. When she entered the conference room, Yuan discovered that the Dean and seven other Great Witches had already arrived. But what puzzled Yuan was that these eight Great Witches stood throughout the entire meeting, as if performing some strange ritual.

The other teachers were also confused, but no one dared to ask. After all, these eight were the top figures in the academy. They knew better than to be blind to the situation.

Of course, there were exceptions. When Teacher Zi Yan from the Illusion Academy saw these eight people, she immediately laughed out loud and teased, "Dean, why don't you sit down? You all standing while we sit, isn't that awkward?"

The other teachers heard this and hurriedly stood up as well. They thought Zi Yan was calling them out. After all, sitting while the leaders stood was the same principle as turning the lazy Susan while the leader was reaching for food.

So, the rest of the meeting was conducted standing up, except for Zi Yan.

Yuan didn't know why, but she felt that the Dean and the others looked at Zi Yan with eyes that seemed ready to spit fire. Oh, one Great Witch actually did have fire coming from her eyes.

Yuan remembered she was from the Elemental Academy, the Flame Path Great Witch, Yan. Yan was powerful, straightforward, and had an excellent reputation, but for some reason she looked extremely resentful.

"Zi Yan, we didn't notify you to attend the meeting, so why are you here joining in?"

Yan looked at Zi Yan, the fire in her eyes about to reach the ceiling. Zi Yan acted completely indifferent, yawning. "I'm part of the academy too, why can't I come? Let's start quickly, I've been waiting forever."

And so, the meeting proceeded in this extremely bizarre atmosphere.

The content of the meeting was simple. It was about the undercover agents from before. Anmir said that all the undercover agents in the academy had been caught, and told the teachers to return to their normal teaching plans.

For some reason, Yuan had an illusion. She felt that Anmir kept glancing at Zi Yan, who sat there bored and admiring her own manicure. It was as if Zi Yan was the leader and Anmir was the subordinate, as if Anmir was reporting her work to Zi Yan.

Yuan keenly sensed that something fishy was definitely going on. Perhaps it had to do with last night's events at Huixing Harbor and the Sky-Reaching Tower. But these weren't her concerns.

Finally, the meeting ended. Anmir dismissed everyone but kept behind the teachers for Year 1 Class 3.

Yuan knew all the people who remained. Oula, Neil, Michael, Busuan... But strangely, Bai Wei, who was the homeroom teacher, wasn't there.

Even stranger, Zi Yan also stayed behind, but Anmir seemed to accept Zi Yan's actions as a matter of course and didn't find it strange.

"Teacher Bai Wei... has resigned due to certain matters, so the homeroom teacher position for Class 3 is vacant. Who would like to take it?"

Anmir glanced at Zi Yan, seemingly watching for her reaction.

Fortunately, Zi Yan had no reaction and continued admiring her manicure.

Resigned?

Who would believe that?

But if the Dean said she resigned, then she resigned.

Right, I don't know anything.

This was the shared thought of all the remaining Class 3 teachers. Resigning at this time, combined with the content of the meeting earlier, even thinking with their butts they knew something was wrong. But whatever the leaders said was what it was. As employees, they'd better put away their little thoughts.

"Alright, you then. Starting now, you are Class 3's homeroom teacher."

None of the Class 3 teachers spoke. They all felt that this homeroom teacher position was a trap.

But Anmir seemed eager to leave, so she randomly pointed and ended up pointing at the completely bewildered Yuan.

M, me?

Yuan pointed at herself in confusion. Seeing Anmir nod, she felt the world spinning.

No!

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

At that moment, applause came from behind. It was Zi Yan.

Zi Yan looked at Yuan, blinked, and smiled.

"Oh, right. Class 3's Class Monitor is my little disciple. Remember to take good care of her~"
