Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The scene unfolding in front of the front row students sent shivers down their spines!

Tina appeared to be about their age, yet they couldn’t help wanting to steer clear of her.

She proceeded with her knife on the snake, slicing open its outer layer of skin and flesh. As she rummaged inside, she spoke, “Whose snake is this? Bring more next time.”

Lifting her gaze, she cheerfully said, “Snakes are valuable, and considering I’m your Lead Teacher, I’ll enlighten you for free. The gall, fat, organs, tongue, skin, blood, eggs, and shed skin of snakes all have medicinal properties. There’s nothing wasted!”

Tina extracted the snake’s organs, took a small bag from her satchel, and packed them away. Following that, she calmly wiped the blood off her hands with a tissue.

Looking up at the students, who were frozen in place, she pulled out a small ceramic bottle from her bag. Casting a glance at the mice scurrying around the classroom, she mentioned indifferently, “Mice carry too many bacteria and have little medicinal value. Those folk remedies that soak mice in liquor are unreliable and lack medical evidence.”

Opening the ceramic bottle, she poured its powder contents on the floor, and swiftly, all the mice died.

She stowed the bottle away, wiped her hands again with a moist tissue, and walked to the center of the classroom. In a calm tone, she said, “Is your welcome ceremony over? If not, carry on.”

Her statement was met with silence.

The students were dumbstruck.

Who would have thought the new Lead Teacher could be so daunting?Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Not only was she unfazed by the paint at the door, but snakes and mice couldn’t scare her either.

Instead of being scared, she conducted a dissection on the spot!

Was she even human?

Or perhaps a ghost?

“Is it over?” Tina asked, receiving no response.

Silence persisted.

“If the welcome ceremony is done, I’ll state my rules…”

Before Tina could finish, Albert scoffed coldly, “Think you can teach us? You’ll need to prove your worth. The reputation of the 22D demons isn’t for nothing. That was just an appetizer. Prove you can beat us, then you’ll have some credibility.”

“Little boy, there’s no need for violence,” Tina replied at ease.

“You’re the little kid!” retorted Albert, infuriated. She was about their age, and yet she called him a little kid!

He hated being treated like a child. Anger surged within him, and he grabbed a stick, aiming it at Tina!

Tina simply stood there, not even shifting her stance.

As Albert charged at her, she slightly lifted her eyelids. Then, with a ‘bang,’ Albert collapsed to the ground, completely limp.

Stunned, Albert exclaimed, “What the heck? Why can’t I move?”

Tina towered over him, looking down, “In the face of an enemy, it’s not about being able to fight. True skill is leaving your opponent powerless to retaliate.”

Albert looked up fiercely, “Did you do this? What did you do to me?”

This was too strange!

He hadn’t even seen her make a move, and he was already down.

The other students were equally baffled.

They were accustomed to swaggering behind Albert, believing themselves to be invincible.

Moreover, Albert wasn’t like them; he had actually spent time training.

Who could have guessed that Albert wouldn’t even get the chance to strike before falling to the ground?

Seeing this, the students instinctively stepped back from their seats.

For some reason, they felt that this new Lead Teacher might actually hit them.

If she did, they might end up missing limbs, right?

Best to stay far away.

“I’ve administered a dose of Bendwright’s Blend to you.”

“What’s Bendwright’s Blend?” asked Albert, puzzled.

“Bendwright’s Blend…” Tina’s voice lifted slightly, “can render anyone completely weak, limp, like a pile of mud in an instant. Without the antidote, they’ll stay that way for life.”

Albert’s eyes narrowed, a glint of understanding passing through them.

Tina looked down, “Are you thinking, ‘How foolish of this woman to tell me this? Once I’m free, I’ll get Bendwright’s Blend and use it on her?'”

Albert remained silent.

Could she read minds?

How did she know everything he was thinking?

Tina smirked, “For the past decade, I’ve been learning many interesting medical techniques. Unfortunately for you, I can counter many poisons and chronic drugs. Bendwright’s Blend is useless against me.”

Albert’s mouth twitched.

The new Lead Teacher sure could boast!

She was so young, yet she claimed to have studied medicine for ten years?

She must have started at nine, then”Victory by any means is not honorable!” Albert always held his head high with pride, but within a mere fifteen minutes, Tina had shocked him into temperance.

He was a little resentful and couldn’t accept defeat.

To concede after only two rounds would be too embarrassing.

Tina glanced at him and tossed him a pill, “I’m a civilized person and prefer to solve problems civilly. Don’t try to overpower me with force; it won’t work.”

She paused, then added, “Actually, no method you try will conquer me. Yes, I’m that formidable!”

The entire class of 22D was speechless.

How shameless!

Albert looked at the pill, picked it up, and swallowed it.

Soon after, he felt his strength returning.

He stood up but didn’t rush at her again, knowing that it wasn’t a matter of being unable to fight her; it was that he wouldn’t even have the chance to strike before being taken down!

The thought was frustrating.

He glared at Tina, “Don’t think that by doing this we’ll acknowledge you as our Lead Teacher. We didn’t come here to learn; we just want to graduate. Our families are rich; after graduation, we just take over the family business!”

Tina smiled faintly, “Albert Sitwell, the fifth son of William Sitwell! Your family’s main business is in jade and precious stones, with assets exceeding hundreds of millions, comparable to the Lehman family’s status!”

Albert was startled, “You know this too?”

“I know a lot more,” she continued, “like how you broke your father’s antique vase last month and blamed the nanny, or how you and your friends staged your own kidnapping two weeks ago to extort ten million dollars from your father. Or even, how you like to sleep naked at home…”

“Damn it!” Albert jumped, exclaiming, “Stop, stop, stop!”

This was too much!

She must be a devil!

He’d have to find a ghost catcher after school to take her down.

It was all too eerie!

Those were things he had done in secret, unknown to anyone.

And the fact that she even knew about his preference for sleeping naked at home was just way too much.
