I was very tired, and my brain wanted to explode. My entire body was aching, and I even wanted to dry-vomit.
I finally understood keenly that being dashed about on a superwoman’s shoulder at 210 kilometers per hour at midnight was utter bullsh*t; what was more bullsh*t was that after tiring myself out the whole night, I still had to crawl out of bed to head to class. This made me have a very frightening thought: could my hidden masochism finally have been triggered?
… A shiver trickled down my spine!
After morning revision, the classroom was as chaotic as an alleyway when the city inspector came to raid any illicit activities. Noisy chatter broke out as students full of energy were running about. From America selling missiles to Taiwan to what was cooking in the school canteen for lunch today—from how the indigenous people of tens of thousands of years ago thought of cooking their food to the shooting incident yesterday, it seemed as if all possible topics under the sun were being debated and talked about in this small classroom. This huge amount of information was disseminated and suddenly transformed into different ideas and thought patterns; if no subtitles were present, not many would be able to understand everything that was being discussed.
Amidst the chatter and banter, I just wanted to take a good nap.
Of course, the best would be to lay down flat and sleep.
In a daze, I saw a black figure coming towards me, bringing with him the soft sounds of a breeze.
Without even taking a closer look, I knew who this person was. This black figure was called Zhao Hang. He was the first friend that I had made after coming to this school. While I had transferred to this school during Senior High, Zhao Hang had been studying in this school since Junior High and knew way more about the school than I did. When classes had first started, he had helped me in many ways.
Besides him being a little noisy and fussy, he was actually a rather nice person. His unique aspect was his heavy build and his agility that did not match his body size. It was said that his weight had reached 190 kg, and he was on his way to breaking through 200 kg. Using the class monitor’s words, at that weight, if it was a pig slaughtered and sold; it could fetch a price that could pay the entire class’s school fees for two years.
“Chen Jun! Wake up! Why are you like this early in the morning? You had a late night?”
I raised my head as my bloodshot eyes made the fatty in front of me jump with shock.
“Ah, Chen Jun, what’s up with you? You really pulled an all-nighter? With your sister around, you still managed to sneak out and access the internet?”
“If I said I linked up with terrorists last night, would you believe it?”
“I won’t.” Zhao Hang shook his head adamantly as the additional blubber on his face rippled.
“Then, we have nothing in common to talk about…” I continued as my eyelids closed once again, and my voice became groggy.
“Hey, wake up! Don’t go and sleep again. I have some big news to share; do you want to hear it?”
“Is there a special sale on buns during lunchtime today?”
“Nope.”
“Bye, I won’t send you off…”
Seeing my eyelids close once again, Zhao Hang was helpless.
However, although I wasn’t at all interested in the news this fellow had, that didn’t mean others weren’t. Soon, a voice rescued Zhao Hang’s fragile soul that had been damaged by my abruptness.
Qianqian—who always loved to hear all sorts of news and information—called over and asked curiously, “Fatty, what news do you have?”
“Something happened in our menopausal form teacher’s family, and she has resigned!”
The entire class grew quiet for a few seconds. After that, a commotion broke out. Everyone’s attention had been captivated by this news, and everyone surged forward to find out more. There was no way I could continue sleeping now.
“Alright, alright!” Zhao Hang waved a hand aggressively as he happily looked at the curious and expectant looks on his fellow students’ faces. He then said slowly, “The crux is this: do you all want to know who the new form teacher is?”
Everyone paused for two seconds, and they all grabbed their stools intending to hit Zhao Hang if he kept them in suspense longer.
“Wait, wait. I’ll say, I’ll say!” Between vanity and his life, Zhao Hang wisely chose the latter. “It’s a beauty!”
“Ah—” Everyone said in unison as they continued, “Based on your judgment?”
Zhao Hang’s judgment of beauty had always been a topic of interest for everyone. In this person’s eyes, almost everyone was considered a beauty; even more rumors spread that as long as the person was a woman, Zhao Hang would be interested in her. Most recently, someone had said that as long as the person was not a man, Zhao Hang would find that person beautiful.
As such, this so-called form teacher that was a ‘beauty’ to Zhao Hang, everyone else did not have high hopes.
Seeing everyone’s cold reaction, Fatty was a little anxious as he said loudly, “What is this reaction? I am speaking the truth! It is a long-haired beautiful lady! Not only I think so, but two other passers-by had said the same as well!”
Zhao Hang seemed to know that his measurement for beauty was rather low; at the very least, he had found an ordinary man to confirm his standards. Of course, no one could rule out the possibility that others had Zhao Hang’s unique standards of beauty.
Seeing everyone still looking slightly skeptical, Zhao Hang tugged on his sleeve as he said, “In any case, you all will find out soon enough. The new form teacher’s class is during the first period. I’ll see what you guys think then! Hmph, she is definitely a long-haired beautiful lady!”
Seeing Zhao Hang acting this way, everyone started to have a little more faith in Zhao Hang and had a sliver of expectation for this legendary ‘long-haired beautiful form teacher’.
As for me… why did I have a bad feeling about this when Zhao Hang mentioned ‘long-haired beautiful lady’?
At this moment, the bell for the first period rang.
Everyone returned to their seats at a lightning pace as they sat quietly and waited for the rumored beautiful form teacher to arrive.
Rhythmic footsteps rang outside as a lady—with long hair that reached her waist, had a very nice figure, and looked no more than mid-twenties—walked in.
“Wa—” All the males chimed.
“Ah—” All the females exclaimed.
I slipped and fell on the ground.
I knew this lady! It was that long-haired sister last night that almost wanted to become the American President.
“Hello, students. I am your new form teacher. I will be responsible for your language classes. My name is Pan Lingling, and I hope that in the coming half a year, we will all be able to get along well together…” the long-haired lady smiled on the teaching platform as she occasionally looked over at me.
I had thought her first words would have been ‘Ignorant earthlings, you have been conquered! Lay down your weapons speedily and submit to the Xyrin Empire!’ or the sorts.
I had no idea how I survived this class. The unknown variable standing on the speaking platform was affecting me so badly, and I was in an extremely uncomfortable situation. Fortunately, all the males in this classroom had been completely mesmerized by this alien terrorist; and no one thought that anything was amiss with my discomfort.
After class ended, I immediately headed to the junior high section of the school to ask Pandora what was going on.
I had just run down the steps of the teaching block when a huge, burly man collided with me heavily.
“Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” I hurriedly said as I turned and intended to leave.
Three seconds later, I turned once more.
That tall and burly man that I had knocked into stood upright on the spot. Seeing me turn, he respectfully gave a Xyrin Empire salute.
“How many counterfeit bills did you guys make last night?” I asked darkly.
“Reporting to Emperor! We have printed enough cash to sustain all Commanders’ lives in this world for four to five months”. This man in front of me was precisely half of the duo that was part of the counterfeiting team last night. “We guarantee that this would not cause too big an economic impact on this world. Within these few months, we should be able to become self-sustainable—oh yes, as per your orders—using peaceful means.”
“And what are you doing here now?”
“Reporting to Emperor, I have successfully become a teacher in this school!”
As expected…
“What are you teaching?” I asked very curiously. I wondered what this counterfeiting expert could teach.
“Political Theory and Fundamental Law!” the counterfeit expert answered proudly.
I felt that the next generation of students was about to experience a planned disaster!
In the junior high section’s teaching block, Pandora took my questioning leisurely in her stride.
“According to your orders, they have all found suitable work. After taking into consideration your safety, I have arranged for them to work in and within the school.”
“…alright. I do not doubt they would be able to manage their jobs. I have another question: how did they all find employment? Not even half a day had passed; how could they all have found jobs? They had only reached this world last night!”
“Big Brother, do you still remember the Commander that had teleported into the tree?”
I thought for a moment and remembered that unlucky fellow.
“Is he well already?” I was rather concerned with my subordinate’s well-being.
“More or less; the remaining can be digested safely,” Pandora answered, not seemingly caring. “That fellow is the Commander of the Mind-Assault Team; he is most adept at group mind interference.”
… Does this mean I could assume that these aliens had brainwashed humans?
Although I still felt a little uneasy, I could only grudgingly accept this result. After all, I did not have any brilliant ideas at placing these three hundred people.
As such, without anyone noticing anything, an alien invasion had somehow rather successfully happened.
