After learning the news and saying goodbye to brother, Shen returned to the black castle, hoping that System will explain him how the «Autumn parade of spirits» goes on. But...
[System knows nothing about this event too, since it wasn't described in the novel.]
Well, yeah, it makes sense, but Shen still felt upset.
On the next day he decided to discreetly find out details from another members of League RR. Flying on his sword to the Peak of Lurking Wind, Shen landed on the road away from the lectorium building and headed towards it, wondering who he could talk to. It's not like the villain had a normal relationship with at least someone, so that he could hope for an idle conversation! That villainous Shen!!
But as soon as he got out from the shade of the trees, shadow darted toward him and started hopping around, cooing with gentle girlish voice:
"Teacher! You're back!"
Keeping Shen's usual composure and pride, in his soul man was paralysed. That's beauty Yin! Beauty Yin, voluptuous dreams of young main character's heart! Get out, girl! You've always hated villainous Shen! There is no need to distort plot lines!
But almost immediately Yin was joined by another breaking teen voices:
"Teacher Shen!!"
Two other students ran up to him. Shen remembered that one of them was named Lir, and he'll need to know the name of the second one afterwards... Generally, they were the ones with whom he descended from the mountain to the Poplar Town and was captured by Underheaven.
And what, now they are, for some reason, in love with him?
What's happening seemed strange not only for Shen. Another disciples, who crowded in front of the lectorium building, looked at this image of fearsome Shen in a main role, looking more like composition «A mother hen and her babies», with eyes widened in shock. Swords and books fell from the student's weak fingers in such numbers, that the whole area was filled with sounds, as if someone decided to shake the apple orchard.
Shen passed in lectorium with Yin on a tow and her hand clinging to his arm and happy boys fluttering around, because he absolutely did not know how to react appropriately to such things.
«System, what's the hell going on??»
[In my humble opinion, they liked you.]
In the middle of a cool lectorium hall Shen slightly regained his consciousness and stopped, deciding to play a «good» teacher.
"I believe, not only have you missed your teacher, but also had a lot of training!"
The children in front of him start nodding vigorously.
"I haven't taught in a long time, so I can spare you some time later and test your skills."
The children's eyes lit up with joy.
"Teacher! Thank you, teacher!"
"Now, go train," he waved.
"Yes!" these three exclaimed and quickly ran away from his sight.
«May I consider this as a pedagogical victory?» Shen mused «Though I don't remember doing anything to win their hearts...» Shen paused, recalling details of the trip to the Poplar Town, and coughed embarrassed.
Initially, Shen went to the lectorium hoping to talk to some illustrious master, even a little tolerant of him, but now he remembered that there must be a library somewhere. Deciding that it would definitely be safer and more productive, Shen went to look for it.
