"Hello! Excuse me, senpai, could you please call Lin Feng-senpai for me?"
Despite her zealous hatred of evil due to her upbringing, Miko was very polite to ordinary people.
"Okay."
The male student she addressed initially thought he was in trouble. Upon hearing her request, he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
"Lin Feng-kun, a first-year Public Morals Committee member is asking for you outside."
The student approached Lin Feng, wondering what trouble the new transfer student had gotten into with the troublesome Miko.
Is it about dating? the student thought, seeing Ai clinging to Lin Feng.
Most committee members ignored hand-holding and dating, but Iino Miko felt the need to police everything. Not just school rules, but her own personal code as well. While she meant well, romance was a mutual agreement, not coercion.
"Thanks!"
Lin Feng had spotted Miko's fleeting figure the moment she arrived at the door. While the student was fetching him, she had been peeking around the doorframe like a frightened deer, blushing and ducking back whenever Lin Feng looked her way.
"Feng-kun, is it that committee member from yesterday again? Let me handle it!"
Hearing it was the Public Morals Committee, Ai immediately recalled the pint-sized girl who had arrogantly told them not to hold hands. She dares to come back today? It seems my reputation as Gyaru Hayasaka doesn't hold much weight here.
"Wait a moment. Let me go see what she wants."
Lin Feng stopped Ai, who was ready to march out. Miko's 140cm frame probably can't handle a beatdown from you.
"Fine! I'll head to the garden first. Don't make me wait too long."
Since Lin Feng stopped her, Ai dropped the matter. Grabbed both their bentos, she told him to hurry up and left the classroom.
Lin Feng walked to the front door where Miko was waiting.
"Is there something you need, Iino-san?"
When he used his spatial magic that day, he had noticed some disturbances in the surroundings, but due to the urgency, he hadn't investigated before teleporting away.
"Come with me to the cooking classroom."
Miko looked up at Lin Feng's tall figure, blushing slightly as she whispered.
If not for Lin Feng's heightened senses, he might not have heard her mosquito-like voice.
Without waiting for a reply, Miko turned and led the way.
They walked through the corridor connecting the buildings to the practical arts building, where the cooking classrooms were located.
Unsure where she got the key, Miko unlocked a cooking classroom door and walked in. Once Lin Feng entered, she closed the door but didn't lock it.
She stood a few steps away from him, head lowered, hands gripping her skirt tightly. Due to the height difference, he couldn't see her face to tell if she was blushing, but he sensed something was off about this little committee member.
Tap, tap, tap...
Quiet footsteps approached from outside. Although the person was trying to be stealthy, it was useless against Lin Feng's senses. Someone had followed them.
Miko, of course, was completely unaware.
"Just say what you need to say, Iino-san. Lunch break is short."
"Um..."
"Lin Feng-kun, you... do you know magic or sorcery?"
Miko kept her head down, her voice weak and lacking confidence.
"Don't be so quick to deny it. Yesterday, I saw you use some kind of magic to disappear from your spot instantly."
Lin Feng hadn't even formulated an answer to her first question before she answered it herself, claiming she saw it with her own eyes.
The footsteps outside stopped right in front of their classroom door.
The cooking classroom used sliding doors with windows, unlike the solid wooden doors of regular classrooms. One could easily see inside, and there were very few blind spots...
Lin Feng and Miko were standing right in the line of sight.
"...You noticed?"
It didn't matter if she found out; even if she told people, hardly anyone would believe her. Teleporting via magic? It was incomprehensible to the average person.
"Y-Yeah... um, can you accept me as your disciple?!"
Good grief. It turned out Miko's ultimate goal was to covet his spatial magic. Spatial abilities were indeed top-tier among all powers.
"No, I didn't mean that!"
"I just want to become stronger. That way, I can punish bad people like my father and mother do."
Miko grew up in a household where her father was a High Court judge and her mother worked for an international humanitarian aid organization. Influenced by this environment, her sense of justice was many times stronger than the average person's.
"Become stronger? That's possible, but you'll have to pay a price."
"Wh-What price? I'll do anything!"
Hearing this, Miko trembled slightly, but having thought about it all night, she had already made up her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sought him out today.
"It's not much of a price."
"It's just that you have to become my..."
"NO!!!"
Before Lin Feng could finish, the classroom door slid open with a bang, and a furious roar came from a girl wearing glasses.
"Ko... Kobachi! Why are you here?!"
Miko was shocked to see the figure outside. Didn't I tell her to wait in the committee office?
"Why do you think?! Did you not hear the condition this scoundrel proposed?"
Osaragi Kobachi looked at Lin Feng with utter disgust. To think she had defended him yesterday! She regretted speaking up for him now.
"I... I want to become stronger..."
Miko's single sentence left her best friend speechless for a moment.
