Chapter 9 Chapter 9 (Catching Bugs) First semester final grade...

After the final grades of the first semester were announced, the matter between Berend and Bertram came to a temporary end. Ren Xiaoyue learned the ending of the incident from both Manhua and Lu Ze - the two brothers parted ways, their past friendship and resentment were wiped out, and their relationship started from scratch.

This ending is exactly the same as the outline provided by the system.

During the subsequent holidays, the comic was updated with a transitional chapter, which tells about the experiences of the three protagonists during the holidays. Ren Xiaoyue thought about it, decided not to get involved, and gave herself a long vacation. Soon, the students' spring break was over and it was time to return to school. As a hard-working teacher, Ren Xiaoyue returned to school a week earlier than her students.

I don't understand why she, a health teacher, has to attend group meetings and be part of the atmosphere group. Ren Xiaoyue kept smiling and tidied up the things on her desk.

"Teacher Zhe, are you here again?" Ren Xiaoyue asked casually when she saw a man with medium-long hair and stubble on his chin walking towards her.

Zhe nodded to her as an answer.

"Why are you so late today?" I usually arrive at the meeting room ten minutes early.

Ren Xiaoyue laughed awkwardly: "I accidentally overslept..."

Actually, no, she just wanted to get more plot by Zhe's side.

"How rare." Zhe raised his eyebrows, took off his coat and put it on the chair. When Ren Xiaoyue walked towards the meeting room with a pen and notebook, he also walked towards the meeting room with empty hands.

When he walked to the door of the conference room and saw the people inside, Zhe frowned slightly. Ren Xiaoyue, who was walking behind him, saw him stop, so she stopped too.

"What's wrong?" Ren Xiaoyue stretched her head to look into the conference room. "Hey, did we go the wrong way? But the team leader and the others are here too."

In addition to people from their office, there were also people from other groups in the conference room. The man who was not part of their group sat with his legs crossed in the seat closest to the door. The familiar flashy jacket, the familiar hairspray, the familiar blonde and blue eyes. That man - Gretel saw Zhe and gave him a provocative smile.

Ren Xiaoyue's team leader was sitting inside and waved to them, making a gesture for them to come in.

"Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking." Zhe shrugged, ignored Gretel at the door, and went straight in.

Gretel's expression suddenly fell, her face turned blue, and she looked like she wanted to curse but couldn't because her leaders and colleagues were all there, so she couldn't do it directly.

Ren Xiaoyue didn't go in immediately. She looked at Gretel, who looked unhappy, and advised helplessly: "Teacher Gretel, you know Teacher Zhe's character. What's the point of you always provoking him? In the end, you will be the one who gets angry."

The man she called Gretel snorted, "I am a magnanimous man, so I won't bother with that tasteless guy."

Ren Xiaoyue smiled politely and didn't say anything else. She walked into the meeting room and found an empty seat and sat down.

Ren Xiaoyue didn't come early, but she wasn't the latest either. About three minutes later, the meeting time came and almost everyone had arrived, so the leader began to speak. All the meetings in the world are roughly similar and boring. The leader's empty talk and empty promises made Ren Xiaoyue feel a bit of homesickness that was completely unnecessary.

After listening to nonsense for more than an hour, the meeting finally reached the part that Ren Xiaoyue was looking forward to.

“You may be wondering why I’m holding this meeting instead of your group,” the senior leader said, “because there will be some personnel changes in our first-grade group today.”

Then he said that several people would be transferred to the practice group, and several people would retire due to health and other reasons and would no longer lead students in extracurricular practice. Among the replaced personnel, Zhe's name was prominently mentioned.

When the big boss mentioned Zhe, Gretel sat up straight and looked at Zhe with an expression that said, "I know the inside information." Unfortunately, he was just winking at a blind man. Zhe's head was facing the big boss, and his eyes were obviously dazed.

Gretel squeezed so hard that she almost crushed the pen in her hand. He came to the meeting for other purposes. Those who wanted to provoke him ignored him because his mind was no longer on the leader's speech. After waiting for a long time for the meeting to be over, he deliberately followed Zhe who was wandering slowly. When they were separated from the large group of teachers, he put one hand on Zhe's shoulder and stopped him.

"Do you want to know why you were transferred back?" Gretel asked casually, looking confident.

Zhe glanced at him and called out to Ren Xiaoyue who was passing by them: "Xiaoyue, come with us?"

Ren Xiaoyue, who seemed to be passing by innocently but actually came here specifically to interfere with the plot, blinked and looked at Gretel.

This plot is the beginning of the second half of the semester. Zhe, who used to work in the practice group, was transferred back to the practice group. Gretel, who had been unilaterally at odds with Zhe, came to make trouble and ended up being pissed off to death.

Gretel picked on Zhe, but his relationship with Zhe was different from that of the Berend brothers. He had no grudge against Zhe and he picked on him simply because he couldn't stand it.

Zhe entered this academy for people with special abilities as a specially recruited teacher, and he initially worked in the practice group. Gretel and Zhe were in the same group before.

Gretel is actually a young man who was forced into the family by his family, but as a young man who got in through the backdoor, he is not completely a useless playboy. In this world, psychics are divided into nine levels: levels 1 to 3 are low-level psychics, levels 4 to 6 are mid-level psychics, and levels 7 to 9 are high-level psychics.

This division is because the abilities within the three levels of low-level, mid-level, and high-level do not differ much. For example, as a level 1 psychic, if the time, place, and people are right, he can also defeat a level 3 psychic. But the gap between level 3 and 4 is like an insurmountable chasm. A level 3 mutant can never defeat a level 4 one.

If the difference between low-level psychics and ordinary people is not that big, then mid-level psychics have already begun to have barriers with humans. In the past, high-level psychics could be called gods. Even for the lowest level 7 psychics among the high-level ones, it was easy for them to destroy a city by themselves.

There are not many people with super powers in this world. The ratio to ordinary people is about 1000:1, and the number is about 500,000. Those who can become mid-level super powers are even rarer.

There are only about 40,000 registered mid-level psychics, and the number of high-level psychics is a secret to ordinary people. The only famous ones are those who like to show off.

As a level 6 psychic, Gretel can be considered a winner in life. His family couldn't stand him eating, drinking and having fun at home every day and doing nothing, so they threw him into this school just to let him find something serious to do.

At first, Gretel was not convinced. Most of the teachers in the practice group were level 4 or 5 psychics, and they were no match for him in any way. Later, during a mission, Gretel fell into danger due to carelessness and was rescued by Zhe. After being rescued, Gretel initially thought that if he had been more careful, nothing would have happened. Zhe was just lucky to have saved him, and he wanted to see what this man was capable of.

While constantly observing Zhe's every move, he discovered that Zhe was a very strong person, possibly even a high-level psychic. So, Gretel slowly became a fan of Zhe. While he was hesitating and didn't know how to improve his relationship with Zhe, Zhe applied for a transfer from the practice group and became a teacher who only taught classes and did not do field work.

Gretel looked at Zhe, who was even more inconspicuous than before, and felt puzzled and bewildered. He felt that since Zhe was so strong, he should be surrounded by young brothers from noble families like he was, with people coming up to him voluntarily and countless praises. Why did he have to hide his strength and become so inconspicuous?

All in all, Gretel was unilaterally disappointed with her child.

One of the main highlights of the second half of the Academy Arc is the interaction between Gretel and Zhe. Ren Xiaoyue felt that Gretel was like a fan watching her idol's downfall, which was quite interesting in a sense.

Since she was not the one being pestered, and she was coughing so hard when she first arrived, Gretel had a deep impression of her. Last semester, Gretel had never troubled her at all, and had helped her several times instead. So she could just watch from the sidelines and get some shots.

Gretel was too embarrassed to embarrass Ren Xiaoyue, so she glared at Zhe, squeezed next to him, and continued, "How is it? Are you disappointed to be transferred back to the practice group? I have inside information, do you want to know why..."

"Because some of the teachers in the practice group resigned, and my course results were not as good as those of other teachers, they wanted to transfer me back," Zhe interrupted Gretel. "Of course, the strong recommendations of some teachers may have played a small role as well."

Zhe opened his mouth and Gretel was shocked. How did you know that he blurted out. Zhe looked at him as if he was an idiot and said in a steady tone: "I also have inside information."

Ren Xiaoyue almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

She felt that Zhe was not as lazy as he seemed to be in not wanting to bother with Gretel. Wasn't he still trying to tease him?

While Gretel was in shock, wondering where Zhe got the inside information from, Zhe quickened his pace and ran away. Ren Xiaoyue also took a step forward and trotted to catch up with Zhe.

"Does Teacher Zhe really have inside information?" Ren Xiaoyue pretended to be curious and stood beside Zhe who was tidying up his workstation.

Zhe glanced at her, his eyes seemed to say "I didn't expect your IQ is on the same level as Gretel."

Ren Xiaoyue smiled indifferently: "I'm just curious..."

"Just think of me as having inside information." Zhe put the cup of water into the box nonchalantly, not planning to explain to Ren Xiaoyue.

Ren Xiaoyue, who had the script in her hand, did not need Zhe's explanation. She knew that Zhe had deduced this information on his own. He had just deceived Gretel, and Gretel's reaction just allowed Zhe to determine the cause and effect of the matter. Ren Xiaoyue asked this just because she wanted to start a conversation with Zhe, but Zhe obviously had a special skill in ending the topic.

"Oh, right." Ren Xiaoyue looked as if she had just remembered something. She returned to her workstation, opened the drawer of her desk, and took out a hardcover book.

She took the hardcover book, returned to Zhe's side, and handed it to Zhe: "A parting gift."

Zhe didn't answer.

"This is my dessert recipe. I saw that Teacher Zhe was quite interested in desserts, so I wrote them down." Ren Xiaoyue continued, and this time Zhe responded.

"You sound like I'm quitting," he said.

"Except for classes, I usually don't leave the office. To me, your absence from our group is almost the same as your resignation. I won't see you very often, so of course I have to prepare a parting gift." Ren Xiaoyue shook the notebook in her hand and explained clearly.

Zhe looked up and down at Ren Xiaoyue, who was acting very confidently, and took the notebook: "Who knows, maybe we'll run into each other again during dinner."

That's true. Ren Xiaoyue thought, and maybe the frequency of our meeting in the future will be higher than you think.

"Thanks." Zhe put the last item on his workstation into the carton and added in a voice that Ren Xiaoyue could just hear.
