56. Shocked Haruno.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, you came in without knocking," Yukinoshita Yukino said, opening her beautiful eyes and looking slightly helpless. Her gaze fell on Yukinoshita Haruno, and she was momentarily startled. 

"Sister? Why are you here?"

Noticing the shocked expression on Yukinoshita Haruno's pretty face, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly came to her senses and released the shadow clone. The clone sitting beside her reading a book disappeared with a bang, turning into a wisp of white smoke. This shocked Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana even more.

"Senior Haruno, one of your twin sisters disappeared with a bang," Uzuki Hana exclaimed in disbelief, her beautiful eyes widening.

Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned for a moment. After taking a few deep breaths, she barely regained her composure.

"I only have one sister..." Yukinoshita Haruno murmured to herself. She was about to ask Yukino how she did it when she noticed Shizuka Hiratsuka looking at her with a smirk.

"Shizuka, do you know what's going on?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled. "Haruno, you should know that all middle schools have launched martial arts courses this semester."

"I have heard about it...." Yukinoshita Haruno nodded. Not only middle schools, but universities all over the country were actively trying to recruit teachers for this new course due to the government's martial arts policy. The progress was a bit slower compared to high schools, though.

"But isn't the martial arts class just about learning some boxing techniques, self-defense, and the like?" Uzuki Hana asked, confused.

"Normally, that would be the case," Hiratsuka Shizuka replied. 

"Shizuka, what do you mean..." Yukinoshita Haruno asked.

"That's right, Yukinoshita's martial arts teacher is not an ordinary person," Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a hint of pride. "Just now, your sister used a ninjutsu called Shadow Clone Jutsu."

"Shadow Clone Jutsu? Ninjutsu?" Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana both echoed, surprise flashing in their eyes.

"By the way, the me you are talking to now is also a clone," Hiratsuka Shizuka added. In the shocked eyes of the two women, she turned into smoke and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the life guidance room, the real Hiratsuka Shizuka looked a little tired as she listened to a girl's worries.

"That guy Haruno..." Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head. The girl sitting opposite her was slightly stunned and asked cautiously.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, is there something wrong?"

"No problem, keep talking," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, cheering up and putting a gentle smile on her pretty face again. There had been too much work lately. She had initially wanted to use the shadow clone to be lazy, but now she was using it for work.

Double the work, double the fatigue!

In the Service Club, Uzuki Hana was shocked for a long time before she recovered, murmuring enviously to herself, "As expected of Shuchi'in, an aristocratic school, the students are actually learning such incredible abilities..."

Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at her, feeling a little irritated. She was also a student of Shuchi'in before.

"Yukino, it seems you have met a very good teacher," Yukinoshita Haruno said softly to her sister.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at her sister, and the figure of Shirakawa appeared in her mind. Her glossy pink lips formed a smile involuntarily.

"You are right, sister."

Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned. She looked at the smile on Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face with some surprise. This was the first time she saw her sister, who had an awkward personality, smile this sincerely because of someone else. Suddenly, Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to see how charming her sister's teacher was.

Yukinoshita Haruno walked to the window and looked at the familiar campus. Her memory seemed to go back a few years ago when she was still in high school.

"Shuchi'in has not changed much in the past few years..." Yukinoshita Haruno's words stopped abruptly. She looked at a forest diagonally opposite, feeling a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, it should have been an old dormitory over there. It had only been two years since she entered university. Why had it turned into a forest?

"Yukino, when was that forest planted?"

"Today."

"Today... what? Today?" Yukinoshita Haruno almost thought she heard wrongly and looked at her sister with surprise on her pretty face.

In Yukinoshita Yukino's memory, Haruno was always so calm, sharp, and intelligent, and she almost never lost her composure in front of other people. Today was the first time she saw Haruno genuinely surprised. This softened the image of the perfect and indifferent sister in her mind.

Uzuki Hana was even more surprised when she opened the window and stuck her head out to look at the woods.

"Such a large forest was formed today? How is it possible?!"

"It's true. All the teachers and students of Shuchi'in witnessed this scene with their own eyes," Yukinoshita Yukino said softly, with a bit of emotion in her tone. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it either.

"Senior Haruno, let's go over and take a look. A forest that large suddenly appearing in one day is a huge discovery," Uzuki Hana said impatiently to Yukinoshita Haruno.

Yukinoshita Haruno felt a little moved in her heart. It had been a long time since she had chatted with Yukino. She turned to look at her sister and tilted her head.

"Yukino, let's go explore the forest with us."

"All right." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and closed the book in her hand.

Shuchi'in's ninjutsu training ground had become the most mysterious place in the eyes of all Shuchi'in students. After all, they all watched the trees here grow crazily within a few seconds. In just one day, various rumors began to spread. Some said a forest spirit was born here, some said scientific research experiments were being conducted, and some said a tree monster was hidden here. Some even believed this place was a miracle created by the gods, bringing incense burners to worship the forest god for good fortune.

Of course, some teachers and students who knew the inside story explained that this was a martial arts training ground built for their class by Shirakawa-sensei, the head teacher of Class C in the second year of high school. But few believed it. Who has seen a training ground built like this? Those who knew some students of Class C in the second year of high school and sought the truth asked them about it, but the girls just laughed and said nothing, never explaining anything directly.

Although the girls really wanted others to know how powerful Shirakawa-sensei was, they were not stupid. If they told the truth, wouldn't that create more competitors? They knew very well that with Shirakawa-sensei's ability, one day he would no longer belong exclusively to them but would most likely become a martial arts teacher for other classes too. But before that, the girls just wanted to enjoy more time with Shirakawa-sensei.

In the principal's office, Director Nakajima apologized to the figure in front of him.

"Principal, I didn't expect that Shirakawa-sensei's technique would be so exaggerated... If I had known earlier, I would have asked him to pick a time when the students were not around to carry out the transformation!"

The principal of Shuchi'in, Naoko Shino, a mature woman over forty with long fiery red hair, looked extremely youthful. From her appearance, she seemed more like a mature young woman who had just graduated from college.

"Director Nakajima is exaggerating. Shirakawa-sensei is our teacher at Shuchi'in, and he is not a problem. There is no reason to hide him," Shino Naoko said calmly. Director Nakajima was slightly startled when he heard this.

"But... if it is too high-profile, it will arouse the interest of other schools and family consortiums in Shirakawa-sensei."

Naoko Shino glanced up at him and said slowly, "Director Nakajima, don't you have any confidence in Shuchi'in?"

"Of course not."

"But you also know, principal, that in addition to our Shuchi'in, several other aristocratic schools are waving money and poaching martial arts teachers everywhere..."

Naoko Shino looked at Director Nakajima with a smile. "Does Director Nakajima think that Mr. Shirakawa chose to teach at Shuchi'in because of welfare benefits?"

Director Nakajima was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the main reason?

Shino Naoko stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the woods not far away, speaking in a cryptic tone. "If Mr. Shirakawa were doing it for welfare benefits, wouldn't you be the first to find out? At the beginning of joining the school, he would have negotiated terms with us, just like those heroes..."

"Besides, if Mr. Shirakawa really wants to leave, can we keep him here?"

Director Nakajima thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

"Well, we can't guess the thoughts of such a strong man."

Naoko Shino turned back to look at Director Nakajima, lightly opened her red lips, and spoke slowly.

"Director Nakajima, you need to understand one thing."

"It's not that Shuchi'in chose Mr. Shirakawa, but Mr. Shirakawa chose Shuchi'in!"

"We don't need to worry about the reasons; we just need to provide a comfortable working environment for Mr. Shirakawa."

Director Nakajima took a deep breath after hearing this. What Naoko Shino said made it very clear. What they could do was ensure they gave way to Teacher Shirakawa's teaching.

"I understand. Then about Shirakawa-sensei and the training ground..."

"Since Mr. Shirakawa has no special instructions, just let nature take its course," Shino Naoko said softly. As a policy that had just been launched and implemented, most people were not optimistic about martial arts classes, thinking that they would only become useless courses in the end. This group of people included the former Naoko Shino. One of the most important reasons she thought this was true was the teachers. In this world, where most powerful people belong to wealthy families or become wealthy themselves, how many strong people would use their abilities to be a high school teacher?

It was even difficult for Shuchi'in to obtain excellent teachers. How many schools can meet the requirements of these powerful people? But the appearance of Shirakawa gave Shino Naoko, as an educator, hope.

Under the leadership of Yukinoshita Yukino, Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana came to the ninjutsu training ground.

"Yukino, I heard that a dragon-level monster appeared in Shuchi'in today. You weren't frightened when it appeared, were you?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her sister and asked. This was one of the main reasons she came to Shuchi'in.

"Scared?" After Yukinoshita Yukino heard her sister's words, a strange expression appeared on her pretty face. The figure of Matatabi appeared in her mind. At first, she was indeed a little shocked, but after getting along with her for a lesson, Matatabi's kind-hearted character almost won the love of all the girls in the class. Not to mention Yukinoshita Yukino, who was already a cat lover.

"It was quite cute..." An uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth, and she whispered to herself. The subtle sound fell on Yukinoshita Haruno's ears. She looked at her sister in disbelief. The big blue flaming cat that was extremely impressive appeared in her mind. At that time, she definitely felt the breath of death. Such a terrifying existence, how did Yukino think it was cute?

"Looking at Yukino's appearance, it's not like she was frightened..." Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at her sister complicatedly. For some reason, she felt like she couldn't see through the current Yukino.

"Hey, it seems like entry is prohibited here..." The outer perimeter of the training ground woods was surrounded by a no-entry warning tape. Just as Uzuki Hana finished speaking curiously, Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly, "It's okay, this is just to prevent other students from breaking in." Saying that, Yukinoshita Yukino directly lifted the warning tape and walked in. The two women followed curiously.

"However, this warning tape can't stop the students' curiosity, right?" Uzuki Hana said puzzledly.

"The warning tape can't stop it, but this forest is different... Ordinary students will definitely not be able to walk inside!" Yukinoshita Yukino said while leading the two women along a specific route. This made Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana even more curious.

"Then why... Yukino, can you go in?"

"Because this forest was created by our class teacher, Shirakawa-sensei." The girl's slightly yearning words fell on the ears of the two women, and they were suddenly shocked.

"Is Shirakawa-sensei the one who taught you the clone jutsu, the so-called ninjutsu?"

"So the fact that this forest can appear in one day is also the result of ninjutsu?"

After seeing Yukinoshita Yukino nodding, Haruno and Uzuki Hana looked at each other.

At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from deep in the woods. The three women were all stunned. A glimmer of light flashed in Yukinoshita Yukino's beautiful eyes.

"Someone is still training here..." Yukinoshita Yukino sped up, gradually feeling that her brain was becoming more awake and active.

"This is... Shirakawa-sensei is inside!"

The next moment, Yukinoshita Yukino finally brought Haruno and Uzuki Hana to the innermost part. Here, there was an open space the size of more than half a football field, surrounded by woods.

Before Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana had time to marvel, their beautiful eyes fell on a big cat fighting with several girls in the center of the field. Although it was only over three meters tall, they recognized it at a glance. It was none other than the dragon-level monster who appeared at their national university, Matatabi.

"Why would the dragon-level monster appear here?" Yukinoshita Haruno murmured in shock. She subconsciously wanted to pull Yukino away, but she heard Yukino staring at a figure and speaking lightly.

"Because Shirakawa-sensei brought her back from the National University just to be our sparring partner."

When the two women heard this, they froze on the spot. Brought back from National University. Yukinoshita Haruno keenly noticed the key point of Yukino's words.

She subconsciously followed Yukino's gaze. A slender and familiar figure came into her beautiful eyes, and her pupils suddenly shrank. An incredible and wonderful emotion rose from the bottom of her heart.

"He is the one..."
