Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next few days.

Beichen stared at Shizuka Hiratsuka's bright eyes without saying a word, just smiling and watching quietly.

Time passed, and the conference room was quiet.

There was only the slight crackling sound of the special cigarettes burning, and Shizuka Hiratsuka's increasingly rapid breathing.

"Okay, okay! I said it! Is it necessary to be so serious?"

"You annoying guy!"

Finally, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't stand being stared at by Beichen, and gave up.

She raised her hand and kept fanning it, trying to cover up the blush on her face.

Beichen couldn't help but grin when he saw her coquettish attitude.

Since the life span of extraordinary people is much longer than that of ordinary people, the mate selection view of many young extraordinary people has also changed greatly.

No longer racing for the day, but willing to spend more time looking for their other half.

The same is true for Shizuka Hiratsuka, a late-stage 5 extraordinary person.

Compared with the ordinary person Shizuka Hiratsuka who was eager to get married in the original book, she now lives freely all day long and has no worries about getting married.

In addition, the aging speed of extraordinary people is slow. If you put aside the mature dress and only look at the face, you may even think she is still a girl who has just entered college.

Therefore, when Jingkeai acts cute, it is still quite lethal.

Seeing Beichen smiling, Shizuka Hiratsuka rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

Then she picked up the folder and put it in front of Beichen, knocking on the table.

"Hey! Take a look!"

After saying that, without waiting for Beichen's response, she lay back on the boss chair angrily and smoked a cigarette.

Ignoring Shizuka Hiratsuka who was throwing a tantrum, Beichen pulled out a chair beside him and sat down, opening the folder.

The first thing that caught his eye was the ‘Student Exchange Program in Another World’.

“Oh! Is this going to start the school competition?”

Beichen raised his eyebrows after complaining in his heart, and continued to read patiently.

However, as he got to know the plan more deeply, Beichen realized that he had thought about it wrong.

This is not the ‘school competition’.

Basically, some students with strong abilities are selected from Donggao to form a new patrol team, and then they are sent to a magic empire in another world to have a week-long exchange with the noble students there.

Of course, it is not an exchange of abilities, but a cultural exchange.

What is more interesting is that there is no means of transportation on the way to the empire, and it all depends on two legs.

Moreover, safety issues are also solved by teamwork, and the instructors only take action in critical moments.

It feels like "leveling up by killing monsters in the wild"...

The document doesn't contain much content, and Beichen quickly read it all.

Because of his distrust of the island country, Beichen didn't believe what was said in the document.

He didn't believe that it was just a simple experience and cultural exchange. It would be strange to say that there was no trick here.

However, he didn't mean to ask.

Hiratsuka Shizuka is just a teacher. Even if she has the Hiratsuka Group behind her, she is just an insignificant role in the eyes of the top management.

Therefore, she definitely doesn't know the inside story.

If you want to know the truth of this operation, you have to ask Kaguya.

Thinking of this, Beichen closed the document and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"I know the plan, and then what? Which team do you want me to lead?"

Hearing Beichen's answer, Hiratsuka Shizuka was surprised.

"Have you decided to join?"

"Yes, I will only stay in the patrol team for a while anyway. But we agreed in advance that I will not participate in daily patrol tasks, and at most I will participate in the designated tasks of the school."

"Ah!"

"What? With my conditions, do I need to make this money?"

"Well, that's true!"

After thinking about it, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that Beichen was right.

Daily patrol tasks are really useless to him. These tasks are generally given to civilian students.

They get cash rewards and the right to purchase some resources by completing patrol tasks.

Generally, those with family backgrounds will not do it. They pay more attention to the designated tasks of the school.

Such tasks are often risky and well-paid.

Rewards include but are not limited to cultivation resources.

Occasionally, there will even be rewards such as 'becoming a registered disciple of a high-level extraordinary' and 'a place to audit a high-level exchange meeting'.

Beichen naturally looked down on these, but at least he had to seek some benefits for his future team members.

He didn't think that Shizuka Hiratsuka specifically called him here to make him a team member.

Based on Shizuka Hiratsuka's style of doing things

, it must be that she can't handle the students again, so Beichen needs to come out to calm the situation.

Although he was mentally prepared, when Beichen learned the members of his team from another list, he still couldn't help but frown.

Staring at Shizuka Hiratsuka who pretended to look around and deliberately avoided his sight, Beichen gnashed his teeth and said viciously:

"Is this how you trick me?"

"Why...what's wrong! Isn't it good for me to arrange a group of beautiful girls for you?"

Hearing Beichen's unfriendly tone, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her head and acted like "I'm doing this for your own good."

This shameless look immediately made Beichen laugh.

"Come on, come on, take a look at who you have arranged for me."

"Bushima Saeko, Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, Yukinoshita Yukino, May 7th Fennel, Kato Megumi."

"Who is Kato? Oh, I remember..."

"..."

Beichen was a little speechless as he side-glanced at Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was scratching her head in regret because she had forgotten Kato Megumi.

"Hehe, you also know, Kato... Kato..."

"Kato Megumi!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Kato Megumi, you should also know that her situation is special."

"Oh, you still have the nerve to say she is special? Just look at the people on the list, who is not special?"

Pointing to the list on the table, Beichen began to call out the names one by one.

[Bushima Saeko, a late-stage 4th-level transcendent, with the ability 'bloodthirsty and violent'. 】

"She specializes in swordplay. Once in battle, she will automatically enter berserk mode, doubling her combat power, and is close to level 6 transcendents."

"She is strong, but she is also really dangerous."

"Although there is no record of her hurting teammates, her emotions will affect those around her, making it easy for teammates to rush in with her without thinking."

"She must have scared all the senior high school students so no one dared to accept her, so she came to the second year of high school!"

【Shinomiya Kaguya, level 4 peak, wind-type ability. 】

"She specializes in archery. The arrows enhanced by wind-type skills are amazingly powerful. In terms of destructive power alone, they are close to level 6."

"But this girl always treats others as tools, and keeps strangers away. No one dares to be her team member at all."

【Hayasaka Ai, level 3 peak, light-type ability. 】

"Good at defense and healing, with a certain melee ability."

"I heard that this guy only casts healing spells on Shinomiya every time, and doesn't care about the lives of others."

[Yukinoshita Yukino, level 3 peak, ice-type supernatural power. 】

"Good at attack and control, also has melee ability."

"She has a lot of problems, because her serious personality has increased a lot of workload for her teammates, and they have changed 6 teams in a year."

"Plus, she always has a cold face, and few people are willing to team up with her in the whole second year of high school."

[May 7th Fennel, early level 3, supernatural power 'Nightmare'. 】

"This one is even more troublesome, he can't do anything, and he is the best at sleeping!"
