United High, Class 1-C.
"Hey, hey, hey, is that Lin-san? Am I the only one who thinks he's become so much more handsome?"
"You're not alone."
"Damn it, he was already super handsome before, and now he's even more handsome. How are us guys supposed to live?"
"Exactly! How am I supposed to find a girlfriend now?"
"Uh, is there a possibility that your inability to find a girlfriend actually has nothing to do with whether Lin is handsome or not?"
"Wait, why does he look so much better? Does being sick have a beautifying effect?"
"How could it? Last time I was sick, I looked completely haggard, nothing like his radiant appearance."
...
Everyone in the class looked at Lin, one by one filled with astonishment, unable to resist whispering among themselves.
Some girls, who already had a crush on Lin due to his looks and other factors, even had stars in their eyes.
Today's Lin had completely captured their hearts.
Even though Lin's face didn't seem to have changed much, they somehow couldn't take their eyes off him.
The protagonist of the discussion, however, paid no attention to his classmates' chatter, taking out a textbook from his bag.
He summoned the Codex of All Things.
Lin looked at the new entries that had just been recorded.
Sairenji Haruna.
Kotegawa Yui.
Yuigahama Yui.
Miura Yumiko.
Hayasaka Ai.
Katō Megumi.
Futaba Rio.
...
"Oh..."
Surprise flashed in Lin's eyes.
Among the newly recorded entries, some had automatically lit up.
Most were within his expectations.
But there were also some unexpected ones.
For example, Sairenji Haruna's entry.
Nickname: Sairenji Haruna
Grade: White
Description: Someone's idealized first love
Acquired: Tennis Mastery
...
In Lin's impression, he hadn't had any particularly special contact with Sairenji Haruna.
He had only come to know her after enrolling in United High and becoming classmates.
So why did it light up automatically?
Lin couldn't help but look towards Sairenji Haruna's seat.
And she seemed to be looking at him too, their gazes meeting.
Sairenji Haruna seemed to blush slightly and averted her gaze.
Seeing this, Lin's eyes moved subtly.
He withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the Codex of All Things.
Besides Sairenji Haruna's entry lighting up automatically, two other entries also lit up automatically.
Nickname: Yuigahama Yui
Grade: White
Description: Dumpling, can't win the 'dumpling'
Acquired: Japanese Cuisine Mastery
...
Nickname: Miura Yumiko
Grade: White
Description: Queen of Flames
Acquired: Singing Mastery
...
All entries were White grade.
The rewards obtained were also everyday skills.
In contrast, the evil spirit entries of the same White grade all granted energy, to varying degrees.
It seems that different types of entries yield different rewards.
After reviewing the entries, Lin, with a thought, claimed the three rewards.
A vast amount of knowledge regarding tennis, Japanese cuisine, and singing surged into his brain, becoming like instinct.
His throat tingled slightly.
His hand muscles gently twitched.
In less than ten seconds, the three everyday skills were fused.
It didn't attract anyone's attention.
Putting away the Codex of All Things, Lin looked at everyone in the class, smiling at those he recognized as a greeting.
For example, Yuigahama Yui and Miura Yumiko.
Approximately two minutes later, at eight-twenty, the familiar school bell began to resound throughout the campus.
As the bell slowly faded.
Kirisu Mafuyu, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-C, walked into the classroom.
Her smooth, cherry-pink long hair fell to her waist, with straight bangs, and her sideburns styled into braids.
She had clear, ice-blue eyes.
Dressed in a dark business suit, paired with black sheer stockings and black high heels.
Her figure was tall and slender, with legs that appeared straight and long.
With a full bust and shapely rear, her curves were elegant.
Her well-proportioned and outstanding figure, combined with her exquisite face, undoubtedly made her a top-tier beauty.
Especially her expressionless, slightly cold and serious demeanor, which gave her the aura of an ice queen.
Adding a unique charm.
The moment Kirisu Mafuyu appeared in Lin's line of sight, the Codex of All Things also completed her entry record.
Arriving at the podium, Kirisu Mafuyu placed her teaching materials on the lecturer's desk, her gaze sweeping across the class.
Checking for any absent students.
When she saw Lin, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Next was homeroom time.
The first class began at eight-thirty.
The ten minutes before class on Mondays were used for homeroom meetings.
On the other four days, if there were no issues, it was students' self-study time, for preparing for the first class.
The subject of the first class on Monday morning was World History.
It happened to be Kirisu Mafuyu's class.
Therefore, after the homeroom meeting, she could directly begin teaching.
Soon, the first class began.
During class, Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Lin and asked:
"Lin-san, please answer this question."
"Yes." Lin stood up.
Kirisu Mafuyu: "Who is hailed as the last poet of the old era and the first of the new era?"
Lin, without hesitation: "Dante Alighieri."
"Correct answer."
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded, then asked again:
"What was the first Germanic kingdom in European history?"
Lin: "The Visigothic Kingdom."
"Correct answer."
Kirisu Mafuyu still didn't let Lin sit down, asking once more:
"Who was the founder of the Stoic school during the Hellenistic period?"
Lin: "Zeno, the ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher."
"Good, you may sit down."
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes; she nodded slightly, finally allowing Lin to sit.
She then continued with her lesson.
Looking at Kirisu Mafuyu on the podium, Lin was deep in thought.
Usually, there was only one question asked.
However, Kirisu Mafuyu had asked him three questions in a row.
It was clearly intentional.
As for why she did this, Lin had some conjectures.
Time flowed quietly during class.
The dismissal bell rang, rising and falling.
At the call of the class president, Sairenji Haruna, everyone stood up to thank Kirisu Mafuyu.
Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Lin:
"Lin-san, please come with me."
"Understood."
Lin replied, stood up, and followed her out of the classroom.
Watching Lin being called away by Kirisu Mafuyu, Miura Yumiko, who had originally wanted to talk to him, could only give up.
Lin followed Kirisu Mafuyu to the meeting room on the second floor.
"Have a seat."
Sitting face-to-face, Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Lin and inquired:
"Lin-san, your health should be fine now, shouldn't it?"
Previously, when Lin had requested leave from her, his voice was very weak.
Although he now appeared to be in excellent condition, as a homeroom teacher, she needed to confirm the situation.
Lin smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Kirisu. I'm fine now, completely recovered."
"That's good."
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded slightly, then took out five A4 papers from the teaching materials she was holding and said:
"These are some key points from classes you missed while on leave. Take them back, make notes, and don't fall behind."
"Thank you, Teacher Kirisu."
Lin took them upon hearing this.
He looked through them, a little surprised.
They were notes from five subjects: Japanese Language, Mathematics, English, World History, and Biology.
The handwriting appeared to be manual.
Indicating that these must have been written by Kirisu Mafuyu herself.
