Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 6: team of four
In the Phantom Academy, besides the Genjing Guangyao Building which is used as a dormitory for boys and the Duijing Rouli Building which is used as a dormitory for girls, there are naturally teachers' dormitories as well.
However, most of the teachers live off-campus, and the teachers' dormitory located in the west corner of the college seems relatively empty.
Further to the west, beyond the high wall, is a large desolate place called "Wood Shade". In fact, in the past, its name was not "Muyin" but "Tomb Yin". After the establishment of the college, it was renamed "Muyin" in order not to cause psychological shadow to the students. After that, it has been used as a place for students to practice actual combat escapism for a long time. However, in the school rules, students are not allowed to enter without the guidance of teachers, and some places in the deeper areas are designated by the college. Forbidden area, even teachers are not allowed to enter.
The golden light of the setting sun shines from the sky over the wood shade land, over the high wall to the teachers' dormitory. Compared with the Genjing Guangyao Building and Duijing Rouli Building in the distance, the teachers' dormitory is relatively old. Bathed in a soft glow.
On the other side of the square, many students are running around. On the first day of school, they have just moved into the dormitory. Of course, there will be a lot of things to pack. Team members, go out of school together to buy the necessities of life needed in the new semester.
In the room on the right side of the second floor of the teacher's dormitory, there was a sound of rattling, and clusters of leaves were swaying in the room, wrapped in dust that had not been cleaned for a long time, and flew out of the window. Inside the house, it was completely new.
"Awesome!" Yang Xiaohan and the twin sisters clapped their hands at the door.
The girl named Nie Chengyan turned her back to them, bent slightly, and clenched her fists hard... Even if you praise me for using the escape method in such a place, I won't be happy.
Next, Yang Xiaohan started running in and out, moving in his things that were not too many. The twin sisters were using water and a rag to wipe the corners that Nie Chengyan's escape method could not clean. During the process, Mercury Xiaohan raised her hand: "Teacher, why did you just move in today when other teachers already moved in?"
The next moment, they saw their Teacher Xiaohan with his back to them holding the corner of the wall with his hands, looking like "the past is too bad to look back on".
Although they had arrived more than ten days earlier, a certain young man always thought that teachers and students would report before the first day of school. In his previous cognition, the so-called teacher is a job that usually takes two or three classes a day, has summer vacation and winter vacation like students, and can't be more relaxed. All kinds of learning and various cultural exchanges are actually more tiring than when the normal school starts.
I always thought that there would only be people in the school after the start of the term. Although I arrived early, I have been waiting outside for the start of the school day. As a result, the things in the big city are still very expensive, and the little money given by the master is spent in a few minutes. He was so full that he almost died of starvation in front of a certain store. Fortunately, the kind proprietress took him in and provided him with food and shelter, but he was asked to work without paying him wages.
"Teacher Xiaohan?" Mercury Xiaohan and Mercury Xiaowei poked their heads behind him.
Yang Xiaohan handed a piece of paper back.
The three girls looked at it together and saw that it was an appointment letter. Mercury Xiaowei read softly in a timid voice: "Specially hired Yang Xiaohan as the new teacher of this college, before the start of school - come and report!"
Is it really "before school starts—come to report"? Even you guys think it's "before school starts—come to report"?
Is it really my fault to regard it as "school starts—come to report"?

Neon lights flicker on both sides of the street.
The car powered by black oil mixed with sparkling stone powder shuttles on the street. On the roads on both sides of the motorway, there were more students coming and going together than usual, talking and laughing as they passed by. On the other side of the street, a couple is arguing. A few tens of meters away, several strangely dressed young men with dyed hair whistled at the girls passing by in front of them, and finally angered a heroine full of justice. A gust of wind spurted from the ground and sent them to It went up to the sky, and then slammed into a flowerbed about two meters wide, causing two little girls passing by to scream.
On this side, there are rows of open and bright shops, making various mixed sounds. A slightly older girl, two petite and identical girls, and a boy passed in front of these shops.
The girl and the twin sisters were all wearing the school uniform of the Phantom Academy, while the boy looked a little smaller than them, dressed more casually, but looked very energetic.
On the road paved with square bricks, every five or six meters, there will be a round glass lamp inlaid there, emitting fluorescent lights of different colors. One of the twin sisters would step on it every time she passed, as if missing one would make her uncomfortable. This kind of childlike behavior inevitably made other people passing by look at her from time to time.
The other of the twin sisters probably felt that her sister's behavior was a bit embarrassing, so she complained quietly, but obviously it didn't work.
"Xiaohan..." said the older girl.
The boy and the girl who stepped on the round fluorescent lamp raised their hands at the same time: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Xiaohan, I'm not calling you!" Nie Chengyan said hastily... Speaking of it, it's really hard to distinguish Xiaohan from Xiaohan.
"Oh!" Yang Xiaohan put away his hands.
Nie Chengyan asked: "There is a shopping mall in front, do you and Xiaowei have anything to buy, I will accompany you to take a look?"
Phantom Academy is considered a full boarding system, but not all students live on campus. The college will provide students with dormitories, of course the kind where several people live together. However, if students are willing to spend their own money, they can also rent an apartment off-campus, but the location must be designated by the school and located in a few apartments around the college. In this way, only students are allowed to rent apartments. There are also dormitory supervisors arranged by the school, and they must Like other students, the purpose of participating in evening self-study in the college is of course for unified management.
Nie Chengyan's family background is considered very good among the students. He lives in the Yunhua Garden in the south of the college. There is a special dormitory for girls, and the rent is very high. The people who live there are all rich families from the surrounding schools. But among these girls, Mercury Xiaohan and Mercury Xiaowei are two exceptions.
Shuixing Xiaohan and Mercury Xiaowei, two "genius girls" who skipped a grade and entered high school with poor grades, have never returned home since entering the academy. During the holiday period, because the girls' dormitory on campus was temporarily closed, the college let them live in Yunhua Garden. However, as soon as school started today, the school informed them that they had to move back to the girls' dormitory on campus, even if they were willing to spend their own money. , it is not allowed to live in Yunhua Garden.
The reason given by the school is that compared to other students, the two of them are still too young, and living outside the school is too free, which is not conducive to their growth, especially the older sister who always likes to cause trouble. Of course, this reason is completely understandable. For the junior high school and elementary school affiliated to the Phantom Academy, the high-level school implements a completely closed paternalistic management. All students must live in the school, and they are only allowed to play outside the school during the daytime on rest days. By the way In other words, basically, all school holidays are set on the first and fifteenth day of each month, only two days a month.
Only after entering high school, such management will be relaxed a lot, and off-campus boarding is also allowed, although it must be in the zone designated by the college.
It's just that, although Sister Mercury is a high school student now, she is actually still at the age of junior high school. And now, their guardianship seems to be completely assigned to the academy, even when everyone is on vacation, they are still under the care of the academy.
Although the guardianship of the twin sisters is in the college, it is impossible for the college to do a perfect job in the details. As the class monitor, Nie Chengyan naturally needs to take care of them more. This time, when she returned to Yunhuayuan from home ahead of schedule, she found that the house of the sisters was in a mess. There was nothing a girl should have, but there were a lot of messy things.
From the college's point of view, it is better to put twin sisters in the dormitory on campus than outside, but Nie Chengyan does know that the dormitory on campus is actually more lax in management than the dormitory for girls outside. It's just that this is the college's decision, and she naturally has nothing to do.
They continued to walk towards the shopping mall ahead, and Mercury Xiaohan jumped on the round fluorescent lights set on the ground again. A man came over and accidentally bumped into her as he passed by. Mercury Xiaohan turned around and glared at the man with his hands on his hips. The man was in a hurry, turned his head and said "sorry", and left in a hurry.
Hunting, Mercury Xiaohan turned around and continued to jump forward.
Behind her, Yang Xiaohan looked at her bumped shoulder, turned around abruptly, and looked at the back of the man who disappeared into the crowd...
