Volume 1 Chapter 2: Unreliable Teacher
There wasn’t much time left for the students to interact.
Before long, Ichinose’s voice rang out, “It’s about time, everyone. Let’s leave a good impression on the teacher together.”
The students from Class B responded by returning to their seats.
At this moment, Hachiman had the chance to observe the people around him.
In front of him sat a sharp-eyed boy with the name Kanzaki Ryūji on his nameplate. Hachiman only glanced at him before looking away.
Really rude!
Behind him was a girl with short white ear-length hair, giving off a delicate impression. Her name was Shiranami Chihiro.
Similarly, there was no communication between them. They accidentally made eye contact, and she quickly looked away.
Even more rude!
Although his middle school experiences had prepared him mentally, it was still a bit disheartening. If he weren’t emotionally strong, he might have felt foolish by now.
Before long, with the sound of footsteps, a girl in a pink T-shirt entered the classroom.
Although she was very attractive, Hachiman wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to such things; his youth had just ended.
Being unable to join any group at the beginning of the school year would make things even more difficult later on.
Well, he didn’t really want to fit in with these people anyway.
“Everyone, back to your seats, or sensei won’t be happy.”
The female teacher walked to the podium, hands on hips, pretending to be angry.
Although she said not to be polite, there was a hint of playfulness in her tone, making her seem like an easygoing teacher.
Hachiman couldn’t help but straighten his back.
After all, on the first day of school, leaving a good impression on the teacher was always a good idea, and it would make it easier to take leave in the future.
The female teacher picked up a piece of chalk, nodded with one foot raised slightly, and skillfully wrote down her name—Hoshinomiya Chie.
Although the action was cute, it somehow seemed unreliable.
“Hoshinomiya Chie, that’s my name. Everyone, remember it well. If you forget, sensei will be sad.”
“Um…”
A moment of bewilderment ensued.
It was confirmed that this teacher was indeed a bit unreliable.
“Don’t worry sensei. How could we forget such a beautiful teacher?”
“That’s very well said! What’s your name, young man?”
“Ah, I’m Shibata Sō.”
“Very good. This is the first time sensei has seen such a cute student, but there’s something a bit off. It should be cute, right? Sensei prefers it when others say I’m cute.”
“Oh– I see…”
Hey.
Is this for real?
They’re already having such a conversation.
Hachiman was a bit speechless.
Wasn’t she supposed to explain the rules or something?
Since there are rules, just follow them properly, you jerk!
But he didn’t dare say much.
He straightened his back and bowed slightly. Since they liked chatting, let them chat. He would just listen slowly.
Hoshinomiya Chie quickly became friends with Ichinose and others, showing no signs of stopping.
After a while, someone couldn’t help but speak up.
“Sensei!”
Kanzaki Ryūji from the front row stood up and said in a deep voice, “The school guide seems to state that the class guide is responsible for explaining the rules. Although the school fees are fully covered, there’s nothing in the school guide about food and daily life. How will the school handle that?”
Well done!
Directly posing a specific question, not giving this unreliable teacher a chance to change the topic. Truly a hero!
Hachiman silently vowed to call him Hero Ryūji from now on!
However, he seemed to underestimate this teacher a bit.
“You can’t be like this, Kanzaki-san!”
Hoshinomiya Chie put one hand on her hip, swaying her jade finger and said,
“Impatience is a big taboo for popular men. If you want to get a girlfriend, you must be mature and stable. At least, Sensei prefers men that are both mature and stable. Understand?”
No.
Don’t understand.
Who the heck wants to know your criteria for choosing a partner? Hurry up and tell us the rules.
Hachiman and Ryūji from the front row both twitched their mouths, not knowing how to deal with such a teacher.
“Hoshinomiya-sensei.”
At this moment, Ichinose stood up, turned around, and smiled. “The entrance ceremony is in an hour. At this rate, we probably won’t finish chatting in a short time. How about next time if we have the chance?”
“Oh, really, I can’t control you guys.”
Hoshinomiya Chie put her hands on her hips, looking a bit helpless. “Sensei understands your anxious feelings, but just wants to chat with everyone. Since you’re so eager to know, I’ll tell you now.”
It sounded like she was being bullied. Hachiman was truly speechless.
“Distribute these.”
At this point, Hoshinomiya Chie handed out a box-like device, similar to a phone, passing them from the front to the back.
Hachiman also received three of them and handed two to the girl behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her passing one to the person behind her.
During middle school, when passing textbooks backward,
A girl behind him cried out in public, “Hachiman touched it, I don’t want it,” and at that moment, he almost wanted to die.
Luckily, Chihiro didn’t say anything like that, or he might have really wanted to embarrass himself.
“The school has a special rule called the S-System.”
“The terminal in the form of a student card just distributed is similar to a phone but is only for internal communication within the school. It can only browse information on the external network.”
“It also has a payment function similar to a credit card, but instead of money, it consumes points.”
“There are now 100,000 points inside, and each point is equal to one Yen.”
“In addition, points are deposited into the account on the first day of each month. With points, you can buy anything!”
Hoshinomiya Chie explained succinctly, proudly swaying her chin with her hands on her hips.
“That’s it?”
Someone murmured.
This is too short. If you’re a teacher, enlighten the students properly, you jerk.
Feeling a few glances, Hachiman realized that he was the one who spoke, and he awkwardly lowered his head.
“Hachiman, right?”
Hoshinomiya Chie, with one hand on her hip, swayed her jade finger and said enticingly, “You know, work is the enemy of women. Of course, if you can avoid working, avoid it. The teacher prefers gossip and shopping over work. Hachiman can come find me anytime. The teacher welcomes you.”
Staying up late is the enemy of women, isn’t it?
This guy actually wanted to reject work in a grand manner.
Perhaps she had the same dream as him; she might be an excellent teacher.
Yeah, right.
Hachiman forced a dry laugh, once again marveling at the unreliability of this teacher.
An unreliable teacher in a class full of enemies (normal people).
What will become of my youth?
