The Rage Angel seemed to still be struggling on the ground, constantly emitting a deep sound. Lin Yi noticed it looking at him, but it was quickly suppressed again by the Physical Education Teacher.
At this moment, the voice of the Physical Education Teacher came from inside the office: "Lin Yi, the Rage Angel has been temporarily repelled by me, but since it has targeted you, it won’t easily give up in a short time. Stay here, wait until the following physical education class is over before you leave."
Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
"The Rage Angel has been repelled? Isn’t... what is that thing the Physical Education Teacher is dragging?"
Lin Yi didn’t have time to think too much, and he knew clearly that now was not the time to ask the Physical Education Teacher questions. He quickly lowered his head to acknowledge with a response, then slowly exited the Sports Office, carefully closing the door behind him.
Not until he had firmly closed the door of the Sports Office and gently pushed on it again to make sure it was securely shut did Lin Yi dare to let go of the doorknob.
He felt a coolness in the palm of his hand and instinctively looked down to see that his palm was already filled with sweat.
He took a long breath and finally understood what was meant by "the inside of the Gymnasium is the safest place on campus." Even if it was the Angel Sculpture that even Mu Daxian tried to avoid at all costs, the Physical Education Teacher could handle it with ease.
If this wasn’t considered safe, then what would be?
He also made it clear to himself that the Gymnasium was safe, mostly because "the Physical Education Teacher was inside the Gymnasium."
After letting go of the doorknob, he turned around intending to go back to find Wei Liang, and his gaze naturally followed the movement of his feet. But when he saw the marks on the floor, he couldn’t help but pause.
The floor by his feet was already damaged, like a flattened bamboo pole under the weight of something heavy, flattened in the middle but surrounded by a multitude of irregular burrs. It was obviously the trail left by the Rage Angel as it struggled while the Physical Education Teacher was dragging it.
Lin Yi was shocked. These marks had just appeared, but he hadn’t felt anything unusual at all. By the time he saw them, everything was already over.
It was as if a building had collapsed and by the time you realized it, you found yourself unharmed, standing in the ruins.
And he grew even more puzzled, because all signs suggested the Physical Education Teacher had taken the Rage Angel into his office, yet he said it had already been repelled...
"Could there have been two? One captured and one repelled? No, that’s not right! There was clearly only one!"
Lin Yi was somewhat confused.
Just then, Wei Liang came running over from not far away: "Old Lin, what happened to you? You ran off the moment you came in!"
Lin Yi then spoke up: "Liangzi, to be honest, I just encountered the ’Angel Sculpture’ mentioned in the ’Gymnasium Rules’!"
"Ah? How come I didn’t see anything?" Wei Liang looked around in surprise. "Where is it? Where is it?"
Lin Yi thought to himself, didn’t you see the Rage Angel squatting in the bushes and then ran off like greased lightning?
But whether Wei Liang was pretending to be confused or not, he reacted naturally: "No, Liangzi, aren’t you afraid of the Angel Sculpture?"
Wei Liang casually thumbed towards the Sports Office as if signaling a six: "I’ve already made it to the office door, what’s there to be afraid of? By the way, where is that Angel Sculpture?"
Lin Yi said: "It must have been handled by the Physical Education Teacher, just look at this floor..."
He suddenly fell silent, quickly crouched down, and touched the floor beneath him.
"What’s going on? The floor... has it been restored to its original state?!"
His eyes widened in disbelief at the floor.
Wei Liang silently helped him up from the floor: "What’s the matter with you, suddenly giving me such a big honor?"
"Never mind, never mind..." Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively, not in the mood to pay attention to Wei Liang’s sudden advantage-taking, but the look of confusion in his eyes deepened.
Wei Liang asked: "Old Lin, physical education class isn’t due to start yet, what did Teacher Lin want you to do here in the Gymnasium? If there’s nothing else, shall we go to the Swimming Hall for a shower? Wash off the dampness from the rain and warm up!"
Lin Yi nodded: "That’s right... let’s go take a shower, oh no, Teacher Lin said to me, ’Upon reaching the Gymnasium, immediately explain the situation to the Sports Students, they have a way to help...’, uh, a way to help me."
He didn’t mention removing the mark, so as not to remind Wei Liang of things he shouldn’t be reminded of and break his state of mind. Some things can be mentioned because he saw that Wei Liang had already come into contact with them, but it’s better not to mention other uncertainties.
He actually wanted to go to the Swimming Hall for a shower right away, but maybe the Homeroom teacher had other ideas, so he decided to go find a Sports Student and report the situation first.
"Then I’ll go take a shower first." Wei Liang said.
Lin Yi nodded; the security in the Gymnasium was still very reliable. The last time they were there, they had split up directly.
"Then I’ll go find a Sports Student to report first." Lin Yi also said.
"Okay... eh?!" Wei Liang was about to nod when he looked up and saw the figures in front of the huge windows of the Gymnastics Hall on the second floor, his face suddenly lit up with joy, "Isn’t that Boss and Li Huiyuan? Old Lin, since you have to find a Sports Student anyway, why let strangers benefit? Just go directly to Boss and Li Huiyuan!"
