Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Dream Fulfillment Master Homeroom Teacher, Who Else Has a Dream?

Silence!

At the homeroom teacher’s words, the entire classroom fell deathly silent.

The students of Class 2 looked as if they had just seen God!

Their faces were a mixture of shock, suspicion, and utter confusion.

’What... What is going on?’

’Did this ghoulish teacher take the wrong medicine or something?’

Not only did he not punish her, he even gave her a band-aid!

If this weren’t their first encounter with the ghoulish homeroom teacher, they might have mistaken him for some model educator!

"Has he lost his mind?"

"He’s probably just faking it. A much harsher punishment is definitely coming later."

"I think so too. It’s like he’s a completely different ghoul."

"..."

Faint whispers filled the classroom.

The ghoulish homeroom teacher heard them, and the smile on his face grew even more rigid. But things had already come to this; he had to keep up the act!

The Chairwoman was still watching, after all!

She might be easygoing, but her friend, Loo Huan, was not someone to be trifled with.

He knew Loo Huan well. He knew she loved to find fault. If he continued his old ways, who knew if she’d humiliate him mercilessly? And he could forget about his salary.

So, the ghoulish homeroom teacher decided to reverse the negative impression he had on the students of Class 2!

"Good child, just take out your homework notebook. If you finish it now and give it to me, everything will be fine," the ghoulish homeroom teacher soothed gently.

But just then,

the dazed female ghoul, who had returned to her seat, began to tremble. In a terrified voice, she said, "Teacher... I can’t find my homework notebook."

Hearing this, a vein twitched on the ghoulish homeroom teacher’s forehead.

’If this were before, I would’ve whipped her until she spun like a top!’

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Just take out your textbook for now. We’re about to start class."

The ghoulish homeroom teacher suppressed his rising fury and said through gritted teeth. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

’How can this kid be so scatterbrained? Is she trying to force me to punish her?’

The female ghoul trembled all over as she frantically searched for her book.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she desperately rummaged through her desk but couldn’t find her history book for the life of her.

She looked up, on the verge of tears, and whimpered, "Teacher... I think I lost my book too."

"..."

The ghoulish homeroom teacher’s mouth twitched, his smile on the verge of collapsing.

’You can lose your book, too?’

’Why don’t you just lose yourself while you’re at it?’

He really wanted to fly into a rage, but he had to force himself to hold it in.

He was just about to try and soothe her again.

But at that moment, the female ghoul’s hand slipped, and she accidentally jostled her desk!

CLATTER~

The next second,

everything hidden inside the desk came tumbling out.

There were knitting needles and yarn, forbidden snacks, earrings, and even a plump little hamster...

All of it was contraband!

Items that would have earned her a severe punishment on any other day!

And it had all spilled out in plain sight onto the floor.

All of it landing right in the sight of the ghoulish homeroom teacher, whose face was turning red with rage.

’Where did this four-dimensional desk come from?!’

’Could this get any more ridiculous?’

’At this point, I’d believe it if you told me she was hiding a person in there!’

’With this much stuff, you’d be breaking the rules at any other school, even a human one!’

"Teacher... why don’t you just hit me? Hit me with the ruler..."

the female ghoul pleaded, trembling from head to toe.

In her eyes, the teacher’s bizarre behavior was even more terrifying than his usual self.

Seeing this, the students of Class 2 were dumbfounded.

’Hiding that much contraband is a bit much, even for her.’

’He has to punish her now, right?’

"Sigh~"

The ghoulish homeroom teacher took a deep breath, his composure completely shattering.

’Is this unlucky kid torturing me on purpose?’

Shaking his head, the ghoulish homeroom teacher decided he didn’t have the energy to deal with her anymore.

He might as well drop part of the act.

After all, he was determined to suck up to the Chairwoman no matter what!

He returned to the lectern.

He said, in a pained and heartbroken tone, "Kids these days... they’ll do anything for the sake of their studies."

"Look at her! Your teacher hopes she can be a role model for all of you!"

"For the sake of her studies, she secretly brought her homework and books back to her dorm. She must have studied so late that she forgot to bring them back!"

"Your teacher knows you’re all addicted to studying, but you mustn’t exhaust yourselves like this!"

A deathly silence.

The students of Class 2 were stunned speechless by his words.

’How could such a bullshit reason come out of the homeroom teacher’s mouth?’

The female ghoul, also dumbfounded, mumbled, "Teacher... I really didn’t take them back to the dorm."

Hearing this, the ghoulish homeroom teacher held up a hand to stop her. "Good child, you don’t have to say another word. Your teacher understands."

"How about this? I will apply to the school right now for a special fund, just for you to develop your hobbies."

"Aren’t we all about well-rounded development in morality, intelligence, physical education, arts, and labor? Knitting definitely counts as labor education. Your teacher hopes you will continue to develop your unique skills!"

"And if you don’t mind, your teacher will also apply to the school to offer more arts and crafts courses."

After that whole speech,

both Yun Zhenyue and Loo Huan couldn’t hold back their reactions.

"Has he really had a change of heart?" Yun Zhenyue asked, perplexed.

"Isn’t it all thanks to you, Miss Yun?" Loo Huan chuckled and shrugged. "He’s definitely scared of you. That’s why he’s acting like this."

"...This is a little too exaggerated."

Yun Zhenyue said, lightly pressing her lips together.

But it wasn’t over yet.

The ghoulish homeroom teacher noticed Yun Zhenyue and Loo Huan whispering to each other.

He cleared his throat twice and asked the stunned students of Class 2, "If you have any suggestions for the school, or any feedback for me, your teacher, you can bring it all up now."

"If I have faults, I will correct them; if not, I’ll take your words as encouragement to do better. The more feedback you give, the better our school can become!"

"Or if any of you have a dream, speak up boldly, and your teacher will help you achieve it!"

As soon as he said that!

The students of Class 2 couldn’t stay in their seats any longer.

’Never mind whether the homeroom teacher is high on something.’

’Since he said it, we might as well not hold back.’

The ghoul who was always flicking his eyeballs was the first to raise his hand excitedly. "Teacher, I have a dream!"

"I want to pluck out all the students’ eyeballs so we can all play marbles together!"

Hiss~

Upon hearing this, the other students all sucked in a sharp breath.

’Plucking out eyeballs? That’s brutal!’

’The homeroom teacher has to shut this down, right?!’

But to everyone’s utter astonishment!

After hearing this, the ghoulish homeroom teacher slammed his hand on the desk!

"Excellent! I will help you realize this dream!"

"Playing marbles counts as a sport, so the school must give it its full support! However, plucking out your classmates’ eyeballs is not a good idea. I, your teacher, will help you apply to buy a bunch of eyeballs from outside."

"In the future, we’ll establish a marbles class, and you can be the class representative for it!"

"Really? Thank you, Teacher!" the ghoul said, trembling with excitement.

’Even that’s okay?’

The students of Class 2 were completely dumbstruck.

Then they heard the ghoulish homeroom teacher raise his arm and call out, "—Who else has a dream?"

At this, the students could no longer remain seated and began to boldly raise their hands.

The female ghoul who was always weeping tears of blood said, "Teacher, I can’t find my boyfriend. Can you help me find a new one?"

"Ahem, your teacher doesn’t support dating at such a young age, but... this could count as intellectual development. I hear being in love activates the brain’s creativity and makes people smarter. I, your teacher, will help you ask around."

The ghoulish homeroom teacher agreed without hesitation.

The dim-witted male ghoul also raised both hands and said, "Teacher, Teacher! Me want get good grades. Can you help me?"

The ghoulish homeroom teacher hesitated.

"This... Fine!"

"From now on, I’ll have all the students from Class 1 tutor you!"

"I can tell you’re smart, a natural-born student! If the students from Class 1 can’t teach you, then they must be useless. If that happens, your teacher will give you private lessons!"

"..."

By the end of the class,

aside from Yun Zhenyue and Loo Huan,

almost every student had told the homeroom teacher their opinions and dreams!

With the exception of a few that were truly impossible to fulfill,

like the ghoul who wanted to grow a pair of wings, the ghoulish homeroom teacher agreed to all of them.

DING-A-LING~

The moment class was dismissed,

Yun Zhenyue was swarmed by her classmates.

They crowded around her, endlessly grateful.
