Chapter 44
Hearing the system announcement, the monster teacher had only one thought:
What the—?!
How could the exam time actually be extended?
What was wrong with this instance’s boss?!
The teacher’s flickering form flickered even more erratically, his anger mixed with bewilderment.
This school instance was a large survival-type instance composed of various classrooms, a sports field, a library, and so on.
The monster teacher had infiltrated the school, simply hoping to take advantage of the readily available humans for a quick snack.
Despite his arrogance and swagger in front of humans, he was insignificant compared to the school instance’s boss.
If he remembered correctly, this school instance was controlled by an S-level boss.
To be replaced so easily?
How terrifying must the new boss be?!
Various expressions flickered across the monster teacher’s stiff face, but, not daring to defy the system, he gritted his teeth and relented.
“Fine, since the exam time has been extended, you get another half hour!”
He glared at Shen Baizhou, who was still struggling with the questions, and stomped back to the podium.
The students stared blankly at Shen Baizhou.
The PE representative let out a “Whoa!”, stunned.
“Dude, how did you do that?!”
The exam time had actually been changed!
Shen Baizhou, having finally solved the first question, carefully wrote down the answer and smiled confidently.
He looked up, noticing the other students staring at him, and frowned.
“What are you looking at?”
Then he realized: “Don’t tell me…you want to copy my answers?”
Even a poor student like him wouldn’t let others copy his hard work!
He frowned and, under the students’ speechless gazes, covered his answer with his hand.
“Who wants to copy your answers?! I’m already on question ten!”
“Shen Baizhou, you just talked back to the teacher like that?! And nothing happened?!”
As the other students watched with curiosity and bewilderment, Shen Baizhou carefully covered his answer and continued working on the test.
Someone was already on question ten!
And he had just finished the first one!
In the kindergarten trial class.
The monster teacher, standing on the podium, heard the system announcement and chuckled dismissively.
“Alright, children, let’s begin the lesson!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the children’s cries intensified, echoing through the classroom.
The teacher frowned, irritated.
The class hadn’t even started, and these little things were already crying non-stop!
The chubby boy next to Xing Nuo was particularly loud, his wails like a siren, momentarily drowning out the other children’s cries.
“I want Grandma! I want Mommy! Waaaaah!”
He rubbed his eyes, and, unable to leave his seat, stood up on the chair, his bottom still glued to the seat.
Xing Nuo’s eyes widened.
“Little Fatty, you’re so amazing!”
The chubby boy, hearing the compliment, but seeing that it was Xing Nuo, whom he disliked, snorted, his bottom still attached to the chair, and waddled towards the door.
The monster teacher, caught off guard, watched as the other children, mimicking Little Fatty, stood up on their chairs, their bottoms glued to the seats, and started running towards the door.
“What’s going on?! Stop right there!”
Xing Nuo, wanting to find Teacher Xiao Song and his dad, his small chair attached to his bottom like a turtle shell, shuffled towards the door.
The monster teacher hurried down from the podium, his anger turning into a chilling laughter.
“This damned instance! My power is suppressed in the human world, and now even these little things are escaping!”
If this were the horror world, these little things wouldn’t be able to run, or even stand!
The little ones were now running around the classroom, each with a small chair attached to their bottoms.
The monster teacher tried to grab them, but they slipped through his grasp like little eels, wriggling free even when caught!
Xing Nuo, seeing the monster teacher’s darkened face, shouted from the doorway:
“Bad teacher…catching children!”
Hearing this, the children ran even faster, their little chairs bumping against the doorframe as they tried to escape.
The monster teacher roared:
“Stop! Just wait until class is over!”
According to the instance rules, teachers couldn’t punish students before the end of the class.
But the class hadn’t even started yet, and he couldn’t even keep these little brats in the classroom, let alone punish them!
Xing Nuo and Little Fatty squeezed through the doorway.
Outside, the bright sunlight had vanished, replaced by a dark night sky.
The kindergarten’s cheerful, colorful corridor had transformed into a dilapidated hallway, the walls damp and peeling.
Little Fatty, his nose running, stared at the dark, eerie school outside with his mouth agape.
Xing Nuo looked around, only seeing the dimly lit, dilapidated teaching building across the way.
Every classroom was illuminated, and strangely dressed students were either scratching their heads in frustration or on the verge of a breakdown, facing various tests.
This entire school, from a single classroom to the entire building, was part of the instance.
Little Fatty, scared, instinctively took a step back.
“This…not our kindergarten!”
Xing Nuo also felt a surge of fear and sniffled.
The monster teacher’s cold voice echoed from behind:
“Little ones, it’s not safe out there. It’s better to come back to class and be eaten by me than be discovered by other monster teachers!”
He grinned, licking his lips, his voice dripping with anticipation.
“I’ve never eaten children like you before. You must be delicious!”
The monster teacher hadn’t expected this instance to involve a group of children!
Hearing this, Xing Nuo shrank his neck and took a step forward.
He wasn’t going to be caught by this bad teacher!
He was going to find his dad and brother and make them chase away this bad teacher!
While the monster teacher was busy catching the other children, Xing Nuo, his little chair still attached to his bottom, ran out of the classroom.
The monster teacher, startled, roared:
“Come back here!”
Xing Nuo didn’t listen.
If he was caught by the bad teacher, he would be eaten!
He ran down the left corridor, his small figure quickly swallowed by the darkness.
Although the classrooms on either side were lit, the corridor itself was pitch black, eerily so.
Little Fatty, watching Xing Nuo run away, his legs rooted to the spot, didn’t dare follow into the darkness.
He was too scared; he didn’t have Xing Nuo’s courage.
Xing Nuo, who seemed so weak and timid, was actually the bravest one in the class.
Little Fatty was easily caught and carried back to the classroom by the monster teacher.
The corridor wasn’t long, but Xing Nuo felt like he had been running for a long time before he reached the next classroom.
Wanting to find Teacher Xiao Song to deal with the bad teacher, he stood at the doorway, his little chair still attached, and peeked inside.
Inside the classroom.
Several players, surrounded by monster students, their foreheads sweating, stared intently at their test papers.
They had one hour to answer three questions correctly to clear the instance.
The players who had explored the disciplinary director’s office earlier, having exchanged information, could only answer two of the questions at most!
“Damn it! I remember now, the director’s introduction was hanging on the wall outside!”
But during the day, they had been focused on the office itself and hadn’t paid attention to the introduction hanging on the wall outside!
But now they were in the middle of the exam; they couldn’t leave the classroom!
“Ahhh, what do we do?! How many classes of monster students has this director taught?!”
As the players racked their brains, trying to remember the information they had seen, they looked up and saw a human child standing at the doorway.
“Whoa! Am I seeing things? Why is there a human child outside?”
Hearing this, the monster students all turned to stare at Xing Nuo.
Startled by their eerie gazes, Xing Nuo took a step back.
He looked inside, didn’t see his brother or Teacher Xiao Song, and turned to leave.
Just as he took a step, a voice called out from inside the classroom:
“Kid! Wait!”
Xing Nuo turned back, looking at the players, his voice soft:
“What?”
The player, trying to stay calm, swallowed nervously and took a deep breath.
“Kid, what are you doing here? Can you help us? Can you tell us what’s written on the director’s introduction in the blue frame outside?”
Then another player’s eyes lit up, only to dim again just as quickly.
“How old are you? Can you read?”
Xing Nuo shook his head, then nodded slightly.
He had been learning to read at kindergarten.
But he only knew a few characters, mostly numbers up to ten.
“Zaizai…can count…to ten!”
The players sighed, exchanging helpless glances.
A female player gritted her teeth, taking a gamble.
“Little one, while the monster teacher isn’t here, can you tell us all the numbers in the blue frame?”
The director’s introduction would definitely mention how many classes he had taught, using numbers!
They could only hope the number wasn’t too large, within the little one’s limited reading ability.
Xing Nuo tilted his head, glanced at the dark corridor outside, and shook his head.
“Too dark…Zaizai…can’t see…”
The female player took out a prop flashlight from her waist bag and tossed it to Xing Nuo.
“This flashlight is quite powerful; it should illuminate the hallway.”
Afraid Xing Nuo wouldn’t be willing to help, and also worried he might be a monster in disguise, she added an incentive.
“Tell us the numbers, and we’ll give you a prop in exchange!”
