My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 64

As the echo of the class teacher's voice filled the classroom, seven or eight individuals from different positions began to stand up.

Shi Li was puzzled, [did someone speak?]

Everyone replied: Just stay quiet, it was you who talked.

The creases on the class teacher's forehead deepened. "Even after warning the class not to talk, there are still people who dare to defy," he thought. “Haven’t they taken me as their class teacher seriously?"

"And why did eight people suddenly stand up in the class? Are they being the Eight Immortals in mortal world shielding the person who was talking just now?

Or was this some kind of initiation to me for being new to the class?"

He pondered about numerous possibilities. He also remembered about his maths teacher’s phone call the day before, warning him that the class was haunted, and suggested him to take an amulet to protect himself.

The class teacher merely laughed off the maths teacher's suggestion.

A ghost? As far as he could see, it was human mischief, not paranormal activities.

He thought to himself, "These rascals have really gone too far. Not only do they mock other teachers, but they also play tricks on me, their class teacher.

I must teach them a good lesson."

Meanwhile, the other students were oblivious to the idea that the class teacher thought that the whole class had conspired against him.

“Eight Immortals in the mortal world” quickly stood up when the teacher asked who was speaking. They feared the worst, as per Murphy's law, that things were developing bad to worse as they didn't want to be disclosed.

At the moment when the teacher’s voice faded, the eight spontaneously stood up to divert the class teacher's attention.

As for what to do after standing up, they decided to take things as they come.

"Sir, I have something very important to discuss with you."

The class leader started. It wasn’t an easy job being the class leader.

At this time, the class teacher still didn't recognize who the student leaders were. Nevertheless, seeing the class leader’s courage and selflessness, he had no choice but to say, "Go on."

"Let's go outside and talk, sir."

Class teacher: Don’t cross the line! Are you aware of what’s this called? This is sheer audacity!

"Can't this matter be discussed in front of the whole class?"

Class leader: "Yes, there are some inconvenient words that I can only speak privately with you."

【Oh, so the class leader has a secret and doesn’t want us to know?】

Everyone else stared sympathetically at Shi Li, for they knew that the secrecy was meant only against him.

Before he could leave the classroom, the class teacher heard Shi Li's thoughts.

He thought, "These students are indeed rude, enjoying to play along in a conversation."

Even primary school students won’t do this, but a high school student is still doing it.

Shi Li: "Sir, am I wrong to murmur to myself?"

The class teacher didn't look back toward Shi Li because by this time he had already been pushed out of the room by the class leader.

Upon being led to an empty office near the classroom by the class leader, the teacher guarded himself. He sensed that this student might be planning something undesirable against him.

Even boys need to protect themselves when they are outside.

He thought so to himself.

"Well, sir, I have something important to share with you. This matter is very important. I hope you can keep calm and not be scared by what I am about to say."

The class teacher felt that the student was making a fuss out of nothing. So, with his hands on his chest he waited to see what this young man was up to.

He sat there with a look that seemed to say, "go on, entertain me."

The class president thought to himself, "You might act indifferent now, but you will understand the severity soon."

"Did you ask who was speaking because you heard a female voice interrupting you?"

"Yes, I did. Do you have something to say?"

"Was it a female voice you heard interrupting?"

The class president found it challenging to explain such an unscientific phenomenon.

"The one who was speaking was Shi Li from our class."

Having reviewed the class register and grade summaries, the Class Teacher had a rough idea about the class dynamics from Zheng and other subject teachers.

He had a striking impression of Shi Li, the remarkable student.

Seeing how the male student sat there, seemingly on edge, the Class Teacher's heart skipped a beat.

Could there be some unspoken secrets concerning Shi Li?

It made sense, considering the uncharacteristic interruption and the rather rude remarks that were made.

Could this be a sign of an unstable mentality?

Shi Li retaliated, "You're the one who's unstable, your entire family is unstable."

The best student in his class, his competition seed player...

The Class Teacher would rather be the one with issues than for it to be his treasured top student.

He thought to himself, everything made sense now in light of this fact.

He found it heartwarming to see the students support each other, even covering up for a mentally unstable friend.

Ever so secretive, the male student had requested a private meeting, probably to protect his classmate’s reputation from being exposed publicly.

Putting two and two together, the Class Teacher had completed his train of thought. However, what the class president was about to say next took him aback.

He said, "What you heard was not Shi Li's voice, but his inner voice."

The Class Teacher, full of questions, looked back at him. Was this young man mocking him?

Considering him gullible like a three-year-old, talking about 'inner voices'.

This wasn't some fantasy world, how could he possibly hear the inner voice of others?

Even the simplest Class Teacher fell for the science-inclined show - "Approaching Science."

Why was the strapping young man spitting blood frequently? Turns out it was gum bleeding.

Could the blue ice that fell from the sky elongate one's lifespan? In reality, it was the discharged waste from an airplane.

...

What's the theme of our class then?

Rumors of ghosts at Qianpu Middle School, with students claiming to hear their classmates' thoughts.

Considering the outlandish stories featured on "Approaching Science," the Class Teacher had every reason to believe that his students were pulling a prank on him together.

None of the other teachers had mentioned anything about this before.

However, Teacher Shu reported that the class had bad feng shui, as if the students were possessed.

The Class Teacher, a firm believer in science, didn't believe in such fantasies.

Raised by his grandpa watching "Approaching Science," he could recite every documentary by heart.

Every esoteric phenonium on "Approaching Science" always turned out to be a misunderstanding, all explainable by science.

In his view, it's not bad feng shui, rather the students united to pull one over their gullible teacher.

The class president had anticipated that the Class Teacher wouldn't believe his words. Indeed, without witnessing it firsthand, he wouldn't have believed it either.

So, the monitor asked the Class Teacher to start the video surveillance playback: Let's watch the VCR.
