No matter how many times he went over it in his head, Shi Ji never could’ve imagined that the little girl beside him was an instructor here. This was just too ridiculous. She was so short, so tiny—this made no sense.
Shi Ji was speechless. Then he looked at the male instructor.
“Wait, what did you just say? This little girl is an instructor here?!”
The male instructor heard him and immediately flew into a rage. He stepped up to Shi Ji, grabbed him by the collar, and yanked him up with some force.
“Watch your mouth, brat! Instructor Jing Xin is the most esteemed instructor at our academy. Keep running your mouth, and I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The male instructor was worked up, like he’d completely lost his temper.
His expression, his actions, the way he spoke—there was no doubt he wasn’t joking.
Shi Ji looked at the young girl and was completely baffled. She was this young and already an instructor? What the hell?
Jing Xin turned her face away, lips pursed, looking thoroughly displeased.
Shi Ji could only take so much. Even after the male instructor had said it himself, he was still deeply confused. His expression changed, and he immediately turned to the instructor with a big smile. In a very quiet voice, he said, “Instructor, could you step outside with me for a moment? I’m new here and don’t know the rules. There are a few things I’d like to ask you about.”
After hearing Shi Ji out, the male instructor thought he had a point. Still, he glanced at Jing Xin first. Her status here was very high, so he had to get her opinion.
Jing Xin didn’t say anything. She simply gave a small nod.
Then Shi Ji and the male instructor went outside the office.
Before asking anything, Shi Ji made sure the little girl in the office wasn’t eavesdropping.
“What are you looking at, brat? Hurry up and ask!” the male instructor said sternly.
……
The two were just outside the door. Jing Xin couldn’t make out much of what Shi Ji was saying, but the male instructor’s louder replies gave her a pretty good idea of the strange questions he was asking.
……
“Instructor Jing Xin was specially assigned to our academy by General Star Hero Academy a year ago as a senior instructor.”
……
“Twenty-four.”
“What?! Twenty-four?! That little girl is actually twenty-four? You’re not joking, are you, Instructor?”
“Watch your mouth, brat! She’s not a little girl—she’s Instructor Jing Xin! Keep calling her that and I won’t just teach you a lesson, I’ll dock your credits too!”
……
“What? What do you mean, Instructor Jing Xin is wearing black today? How do you know that? When did you notice…?”
……
Jing Xin. Female. Twenty-four years old. Petite and delicate, a bona fide little loli. A senior instructor at Silver Frost Academy, assigned there by General Star Hero Academy. Her age and stature were two of her biggest regrets, especially her flat, practically nonexistent chest. She liked being called “big sister” and hated being called things like “brat,” “little girl,” or “kid sister.”
Jing Xin had sat down by then, listening closely to the conversation outside. The worse her expression got, the clearer it became that Shi Ji’s questions had hit nearly every one of her sore spots.
She was in a terrible mood, but even so, she stayed right where she was and made no move to interrupt them. She wanted to hear just how much further Shi Ji would dare to go.
After a long while, the two finally finished talking and came back inside.
The male instructor came in with a smile on his face. He and Shi Ji were clearly on much better terms than before.
The moment they stepped through the door, his cheerful expression turned stern. The male instructor had nearly forgotten that Jing Xin was sitting in the office.
He hurried over to Jing Xin.
“Instructor Jing Xin, we’re done talking. Is there anything else you’d like to instruct me to do?”
Jing Xin stood up and looked straight at Shi Ji. A cold smile flickered across her delicate face. It almost looked like a flash of murderous intent.
“General Star Hero Academy should’ve already sent you his file. Just follow the usual procedure for the paperwork. Go tell Instructor Feng that I, Jing Xin, want this student. And get someone to replace the camera that broke earlier.”
