Chapter 41: Strange Energy

Highschool of the Dead.

It was a very popular zombie anime, known as the Resident Evil of the anime world.

At first, it started because a zombie accidentally wandered into Fujimi Academy, which acted like a fuse that caused the entire Fujimi Academy to completely fall into Hell.

As the events progressed with Komuro Takashi and others, they discovered that what happened was not limited to Fujimi Academy; the entire world had completely fallen into a paradise for the dead.

Wei Ziqing rubbed his head. He was not very familiar with Highschool of the Dead, but he knew that the protagonists were Komuro Takashi, Miyamoto Rei, and Busujima Saeko. As for the other details, he had forgotten most of them.

“I remember that in the story’s background, the zombie outbreak happened around the spring of 2010. Looking at it now, the plot has not started yet. It seems I need to investigate so I can better deal with the coming human Hell!”

Although he was already at the Half-Step Innate realm, he still could not relax when facing endless zombies without knowing their strength.

Success belonged to those who were prepared. If he accidentally died here, he would not only let down Little Dragon Maiden’s waiting but also waste his foresight.

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing hesitated no longer. He turned around to gather information. After all, this was a society close to the modern era, and large amounts of information could be easily obtained anywhere.

Soon, Wei Ziqing learned the current time. It was six months before the plot began, which meant it was currently the autumn of 2009!

“Six more months?” Wei Ziqing whispered to himself, a bitter smile appearing on his face. The virus had not broken out yet, which meant he had to spend six months in a peaceful era.

But right now, he didn’t have a single penny on him. This…

“It seems I still need to find a job to live properly for half a year!” With a bitter laugh, Wei Ziqing felt that he was probably the first person in history to travel through worlds and worry about making a living.

However, perhaps today was his lucky day. He soon heard that Fujimi Academy was actually recruiting a PE Teacher. More importantly, the school provided free meals and housing!

Hearing this, Wei Ziqing’s face lit up. The plot developed at Fujimi Academy, so being there was definitely the best choice. Moreover, with his cultivation in the Postnatal Realm, being a simple PE Teacher should not be very difficult.

…

“You want to come to our school as a PE Teacher?” In Fujimi Academy, a somewhat plump Dean of Students looked at Wei Ziqing with hesitation.

“Why? Is it not possible?”

Wei Ziqing frowned. Was it really that hard to find a job?

“It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just your build…” The Dean looked at Wei Ziqing conflictedly. Although his build was decent, he was different from other PE Teachers who were tall and burly; he looked more like a frail scholar.

“Forget it, let’s do this. You can come, since we can’t find anyone anyway. However, there is only the lowest base salary. If you want the job, starting tomorrow, you will teach Class 3-A!”

Class 3-A? Wasn’t that Busujima Saeko’s class?

Busujima Saeko was the daughter of the famous Busujima kendo family. Her sword skills were outstanding, and she had won the national competition in her second year of high school.

Currently, she was the captain of the kendo club in the third year at Fujimi Academy.

However, in the later zombie outbreak, while acting together with Komuro Takashi and others, she gradually developed feelings for Komuro Takashi and competed with Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya for him.

Wei Ziqing recalled the information about Busujima Saeko, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

“In the original story, Busujima Saeko’s sword skills were quite good. I wonder what her actual strength is. It seems I will find out soon!”

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing handled some matters with the Dean and was led to his room by a helpful teacher at the school.

…

“Is this where I will live for half a year?” Wei Ziqing looked at the room and walked straight to the window. Because this place was high up, he could see the entire vast Fujimi Academy.

Looking at the group of carefree, laughing students and the prosperous city scenery, who could imagine that in half a year, it would be a playground for demons?

In the previous world, he went to the Divine Condor world and changed most of the plot. This time he came to this Apocalypse; what would this Apocalypse become?

Would zombies really be as easy to deal with as they seemed in the original story?

In the Divine Condor world, he had obtained martial arts such as the Innate Skill and Nine Swords of Dugu. What about here? What could he obtain?

Would he wait for three years only to return with nothing at all?

That night, Wei Ziqing had a thousand thoughts and could not sleep for a long time.

…

“Did you hear? A new teacher came to our school!”

“Yeah, he’s teaching our PE class. He’s Chinese, and I heard he’s very handsome!”

“Really? That’s great. As long as he’s not like that huge guy from last time who was an eyesore, anything is fine!”

On the playground of Fujimi Academy, a group of students from Class 3-A were discussing the news they received yesterday. Especially the female students, the fire of gossip was burning brightly in their eyes.

Under a cherry blossom tree to the side, a girl with purple hair and a cold expression leaned there holding a wooden sword, appearing quiet.

Compared to this group of close yet innocent students, she seemed quite out of place!

Suddenly, the girl’s expression changed, and she abruptly looked up toward the entrance of the playground.

There, a young man with a gentle and refined look and a faint smile on his face was slowly approaching.

The young man clearly noticed the girl’s gaze. He looked toward her with a smile, then greeted the group of students: “Hello everyone, I am your new teacher, Wei Ziqing. Please take care of me in the future!”

“This is…” Busujima Saeko’s face showed an unprecedented seriousness. Her hands gripped the wooden sword tightly, and a drop of cold sweat flowed from her forehead!

She was a kendo Grandmaster. Although she was young, she was also a national kendo champion, and her sword technique had reached the level of a Grandmaster!

But the man before her…

He was strong!

Terrifyingly strong!

A tremble coming from her soul gave her a deep sense of helplessness!

While Busujima Saeko watched Wei Ziqing vigilantly, he, who was smilingly dealing with the group of students, also glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

Although he had never met Busujima Saeko, her purple hair and the wooden sword that never left her side allowed him to recognize her instantly.

However, as Wei Ziqing looked at her closely, his brow furrowed: “There is no fluctuation of Inner Energy, but that kind of power feels no weaker than the power of a Second-Rate Expert. What kind of power is this?”
