- Chapter 22 - The Importance of Education
Despite the fierce argument between teacher and student, Sun Du still had business to handle.
Waiting for a pause that never came, he finally spoke.
“If you two are going to argue, could you at least let me say a few words first?”
Neither of them reacted.
They continued bickering as though he didn’t exist.
Sun Du cautiously patted Ayramirong on the shoulder.
“Leave me alone!”
…That didn’t work.
He turned and patted Luluye instead.
Still no response.
“…”
He cleared his throat.
“If you’re going to keep arguing, can you at least wait until I’m finished?”
Nothing.
Not even a glance.
“My patience has limits,” Sun Du warned. “Don’t test it.”
The two women continued quarreling as if he were invisible.
Sun Du sighed.
“I…”
“No one,” Ayramirong declared proudly, “has the right to interrupt me.”
“Hah!”
Luluye crossed her arms.
“I’ve got nothing left to fear!”
“…”
Dong!
Dong!
Two crisp flicks landed squarely on their foreheads.
The teacher and student immediately fell silent, clutching their heads as they obediently knelt before Sun Du.
Sun Du nodded in satisfaction.
“See? Much quieter.”
“It seems the rehabilitation plan needs to begin immediately.”
“…Rehabilitation plan?”
Ayramirong’s expression stiffened.
Luluye remained calm.
After all, once they escaped, her teacher would beat her up anyway.
What difference did one more problem make?
“That’s right.”
Sun Du smiled.
“I’m going to teach you both how to become decent people.”
As if performing a magic trick, he pulled a tiny book from his pocket.
The cover read:
First Grade Picture Character Book
Ayramirong blinked several times.
If her hands had been free, she would have rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t hallucinating.
“…You’re serious?”
“Of course.”
Sun Du nodded earnestly.
“Compulsory education shouldn’t be neglected.”
“If we’re rebuilding your character…”
“We should rebuild everything from the foundation.”
“…Impossible!”
Ayramirong immediately refused.
“I absolutely will not study something meant for first graders!”
She was the infamous Witch of Darkness and Space.
How could someone like her possibly sit there learning characters from picture books?
She would rather die than suffer such humiliation.
“Don’t reject the idea so quickly.”
Sun Du turned toward Luluye.
“Perhaps…”
“…your student would be interested?”
Luluye paused.
Then, as if remembering something wonderful, her eyes lit up.
“I am!”
“I really want to learn!”
“I want to study together with Teacher and become a better person!”
“…What nonsense are you saying?”
Ayramirong stared at her student in disbelief.
“Have you gone insane?”
“…Wait.”
She noticed the mischievous smile spreading across Luluye’s face.
Instantly…
She understood.
“You little brat!”
“You’d rather drag your teacher down with you than suffer alone?!”
Luluye grinned brightly.
“Teacher really knows me best.”
“You…”
“I clearly haven’t disciplined you enough…”
“Alright, alright…”
Just as Sun Du was about to interrupt again—
Liu Nuanyu suddenly walked over while holding up her phone.
“Mr. Sun.”
“My teacher and the dean replied.”
“They want to confirm whether the captured witch really is the Ayramirong they know.”
“That’s easy.”
Sun Du nodded.
“Just let them see.”
“Are you planning to take pictures?”
“No.”
“They said to use this.”
Liu Nuanyu tapped a few buttons.
Her pink phone immediately began transforming.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Like a Rubik’s Cube rearranging itself, the device folded into a square projector with a glowing blue lens in its center.
She pointed it toward the wall.
A beam of light shot out.
A clear three-dimensional projection appeared.
Jiang Wuqiu.
Chang Wutong.
“Wow.”
Sun Du’s eyes lit up.
“Now that’s impressive.”
“Human technology really has advanced.”
“The image quality is excellent.”
“You can even see the scars on your faces.”
On the projected screen, Chang Wutong leaned closer.
“Quick, Xiao Qiu.”
“Look.”
“Doesn’t that resentful-looking woman over there look familiar?”
Jiang Wuqiu squinted.
“…It really is her!”
“Hahahaha!”
“She looks absolutely miserable!”
Both women burst into laughter.
Their elegant, graceful images vanished completely.
Watching from nearby, Lu Xiaoxiao and several soldiers were utterly dumbfounded.
Liu Nuanyu covered her face in embarrassment.
“Teacher…”
“Dean…”
“There are other people here.”
“Please… maintain your image.”
“Huh?!”
Chang Wutong froze.
“Why didn’t you tell us sooner?!”
“Oh no!”
“My dignified image…”
Everyone else:
“…”
After a brief panic, the two women simply gave up pretending.
Once Captain Li and the surrounding soldiers promised to keep today’s events secret—and wisely excused themselves—
Only Sun Du, Lu Xiaoxiao, Liu Nuanyu, the prisoners…
…and the projection remained.
The two magical girls were students, so it wasn’t appropriate for them to openly mock their elders.
As for Sun Du…
Well.
Everyone silently agreed it was best if he simply didn’t make things worse.
Chang Wutong rubbed her hands together excitedly.
“Little Nuanyu.”
“Bring the projector closer.”
“I’ve waited a long time for this conversation.”
“So have I.”
Liu Nuanyu obediently adjusted the projector toward the prison cell.
Meanwhile, Sun Du quietly stood nearby to ensure Ayramirong couldn’t secretly cast any spells.
Truthfully, although he had already fought three Seventh-Tier opponents over the past few days…
He still wasn’t entirely sure how powerful Seventh-Tier magical girls actually were.
The first two had been defeated with a single punch.
The third had relied on hostages instead of fighting directly.
There hadn’t been much opportunity to properly gauge their strength.
Once the projection zoomed in, Jiang Wuqiu and Chang Wutong immediately launched into merciless ridicule.
“Hahahaha!”
“So this is your ending!”
“You’ve acted lawlessly for years.”
“Now look at you!”
“Captured at last!”
“I have to take a screenshot!”
“No…”
“I should show this to your leader too!”
“Hehehe!”
“This is exactly what I’ve wanted to see!”
“Where’s your cold elegance now?”
“Where’s that aloof queenly attitude?”
“That miserable expression is priceless!”
Standing beside them, Sun Du quietly shook his head.
No wonder they were lifelong rivals.
Their personalities were astonishingly alike.
Both took immense pleasure in seeing the other suffer.
Did they really hate each other that much?
Perhaps.
Or perhaps…
Their relationship was much more complicated than simple hatred.
The mockery worked immediately.
Ayramirong slowly raised her crimson eyes.
She was just about to explode in anger…
When she noticed something.
Hospital beds.
Medical equipment.
Bandages.
Visible injuries.
She suddenly burst into laughter herself.
“Hah.”
“And you two still have the nerve to mock me?”
“So that’s why neither of you showed up.”
“You got yourselves beaten into the hospital too!”
“Hahahaha!”
The laughter on the projected screen stopped instantly.
Jiang Wuqiu and Chang Wutong stared at one another.
Their pupils visibly contracted.
After a long pause, both of them looked toward Liu Nuanyu at the same time.
“…Little girl.”
“You didn’t accidentally enable beauty filters…”
“…or background filters…”
“…did you?”
“Huh?”
Liu Nuanyu blinked.
“This thing has those functions?”
She looked down at the transformed phone in confusion.
“…I didn’t even know that.”
