Of course. What bad intentions could children possibly have? At most, a single sentence from them was enough to expose all their secrets.

However, this only added to the handsome boy's frustration. My head is splitting! These little brats! How could they possibly understand the grand feat I'm about to undertake? And what do they do? They just bluntly stand in front of me and ask if it's fun? Fun, my ass!

Therefore, the handsome boy's face darkened as he said, "No! It's already risky enough for just a few of us to go. If you all follow, what will happen if the Teachers find out? Go back, go back quickly! We're really not going out to play…"

No matter how impulsive or naïve the handsome boy was, at least, to some extent, he was far more level-headed than these rascals. For instance, even though he was also just a kid, he clearly understood that once they stepped out of the school, they wouldn't be met with interesting experiences, but rather a series of crises.

Haven't you seen how the Teachers have surrounded the school, terrified that any student might sneak out? That isn't because the school itself is so safe. Rather, compared to the still relatively safe environment inside the school, all the adults know that while the outside world is wonderful, at this moment, it's also truly dangerous!

However, very soon, the handsome boy couldn't hold back anymore. These bastards had actually threatened him, saying that if he, their boss, didn't take them out, they would immediately recognize a big guy from Class Three as their new boss. The reason, in the words of adults, was that the big guy looked like he offered more security!

So, despite his extreme reluctance, the handsome boy could only grit his teeth and endure it. He quickly scanned his surroundings. He then noticed that the commotion in the classroom upstairs seemed to be escalating; it appeared the disheveled child had indeed lived up to expectations. The disheveled child had taken his small mud pellet and, for him, created a 'sky' that could obstruct any line of sight.

Therefore, the handsome boy immediately turned to everyone with a solemn expression and said, "We can go out! But you all must remember, no one is to leave the group. Anyone who does, don't tell anyone I was your boss anymore. If you're not willing, you can leave now… Did you hear me clearly?"

However, in the blink of an eye, a piercing shriek made the handsome boy jump.

"Crystal clear!"

It was an excited little brat who had shouted, his eyes shining, beside himself with excitement.

He probably really thinks the outside has turned into a playground!

The handsome boy immediately cursed, "Damn it, are you looking to die?! Run, before the Teachers get here!…"

As expected, he wasn't their boss for nothing. Because, just as the handsome boy hurriedly led his gang of underlings through a little-known dog hole and out of the school, the school's Teachers and administration quickly realized what had happened.

The Principal was almost scared out of his wits. He stared fixedly at the anxious Teacher before him and demanded, "What did you just say? Say it again, clearly!"

The Teacher hurriedly replied, "Something terrible has happened! Those brats from Class Five actually learned how to create a diversion! They had one group causing a disturbance in the classroom to draw our attention. Especially that kid with the shaggy hair, he's the most detestable… Meanwhile, they secretly led about twenty or thirty students from other classes to the old supply room! Who would have thought there was still a dog hole there… By the time a Teacher got there, those audacious brats who wanted to sneak out of school were all gone, except for the last three we managed to catch!…"

This was like a bolt from the blue. It struck the Principal's heart with such force that his movements began to tremble.

He quickly collected himself and urgently ordered, "Quick, quick, quick! Bring all those children's files to me! I want to see them now!"

The Teacher was stunned. The children have already escaped from school; what's the damn use of looking at their files now? Can looking at them bring the children back?

Little did he know, his hesitation sent the Principal, a dignified middle-aged man, into a towering rage.

BANG!

He slammed his palm heavily on the desk. This snapped the Teacher before him back to his senses, and the Principal roared, "What are you standing there dazed for?! Go and get them now!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Yes, yes, yes! I'll go get them, I'll go get them…"

「After a while.」

Once the Principal had confirmed the information about these children, he finally let out a thorough sigh of relief, his dignified expression returning. Afterward, he resumed his serious and unruffled demeanor, calmly instructing the Teacher, "So that's how it is… Alright, I understand! You can go down first, and then get that dog hole blocked up. Don't we have several Martial Arts Teachers in our school? Have them all come out and watch over the remaining brats. We absolutely cannot have any more mistakes! As for this group of children who have already escaped the school, they are now beyond our capabilities. So, I will call the State Government for assistance shortly. Let them take over and find them…"

In fact, when that Teacher left, he still felt utterly perplexed. He kept feeling as if he had overlooked something important! Therefore, after some serious pondering, he finally seemed to have an epiphany:

Right! It seems those children's families have no influential backgrounds. No wonder the Principal wasn't worried at all after reading their files. Yes, that must be it! As long as we look after those with connections, the children of ordinary people can cause whatever trouble they want, and it won't affect our school. Truly, old and cunning…

Moreover, because he thought he had seen through the Principal's true colors, he immediately became pensive and let out a heartfelt sigh, feeling an urge to give himself a good slap.

He's the Principal, and you're just a Teacher! No wonder you're so aggrieved. Why don't you use your brain a little? What's the damn rush?!

Shortly after he had this epiphany, just as a female Teacher, dressed simply yet exuding a captivating charm, was hurrying past him, he immediately, full of enthusiasm, stopped her and asked curiously, "Teacher Jin, where are you off to?"

The young and attractive female Teacher known as Teacher Jin was frowning slightly, a sight that would make anyone's heart ache with sympathy. Now, stopped by her colleague, she looked anxious and replied naturally, "It's because of those rascals from my class! They're teenagers, for goodness sake, yet they're still so fixated on playing. They ran off on their own! I was so startled, and I just remembered I need to quickly ask the Principal what should be done…"

The male Teacher immediately burst out laughing and said confidently, "You don't need to ask the Principal about this; I can tell you!"

"Ah!" Teacher Jin was taken aback by his words for a moment. Then, as if seeing a glimmer of hope right before her eyes, she naturally asked quickly, "Teacher, what should we do in this situation?"

Of course, she wasn't very familiar with this colleague; she had even forgotten his name. But now, it seemed he was a kind and capable person. At least, while she was still in a flustered panic, he had already found an appropriate solution. Not like me, still wanting to rush off to find the Principal for a solution! Therefore, at this moment, she was genuinely seeking advice and hoped this matter could be resolved properly.

As a result, this male Teacher immediately felt immensely satisfied and smug. The most beautiful flower in the school is now humbly asking me for advice, isn't she? What is a sense of accomplishment? This is it!

Thus, he immediately put on a smug air, yet cautiously glanced around. He appeared rather secretive. This immediately made Teacher Jin feel that this fellow was perhaps not very reliable.

Then, he lowered his voice and said cautiously, somewhat furtively, "Let me tell you! I saw everything just now. When the Principal found out those children dared to run outside the school on their own, he was furious! His face nearly turned green with fright!"

Teacher Jin felt a sense of shared understanding. Her initially somewhat negative impression of this Teacher also dissipated a little.

That's right, how could one not be scared to death! Although I'm not a Martial Artist, I am, after all, a legitimate graduate from a prestigious university. I have some knowledge about beasts. Those things are inherently very cruel. It requires Martial Artists to deal with them, to suppress or drive them away. And now? Those audacious, unruly children from my class dared to run out and play as they pleased when the city was under lockdown due to a Beast Tide, and with beasts still inside the city. This wasn't just playing with their own lives; it was practically rushing to offer themselves as food to the beasts!

Thinking about this, she even felt that the Federation's popularization of knowledge regarding the Beast Clan was far, far too lacking! It's necessary to take out some basic information about the Beast Clan and use it to scare those naughty, troublemaking children. Although she was a woman, she also understood the principle that jade cannot be shaped without carving, or that a doting mother often spoils her child.

Hence, this Teacher's words immediately earned him a bit more of Teacher Jin's approval.
