A new day.
Beize woke up very early, because the first class was the Will of Fire, which he taught.
From another perspective, this also showed Sarutobi Hiruzen's high regard.
'That damn old geezer is really bad, he's a peeping tom.'
Beize was certain that Sarutobi Hiruzen would absolutely use his crystal ball to observe his class.
Of course, it wasn't because of him, but because of Uzumaki Naruto and the others.
Beize arrived at the Class 1-A classroom and found only five students had arrived.
He scanned the room, and his gaze landed on a little girl sitting in the middle row.
She was wearing modest, long clothing, and had short, bluish-black hair.
But the most eye-catching thing was her pair of pure white eyes.
This was the Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan.
The Hyuuga clan's unique Byakugan, possessing the abilities of x-ray vision and insight.
[Current Mission: Help your deskmate Hyuuga Hinata get her scarf back.]
[Mission Reward: Konoha Whirlwind.]
[Accept?]
Beize looked at the three lines of text that suddenly appeared before him, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
'How am I supposed to become Hyuuga Hinata's deskmate?'
Beize thought for a few seconds and came up with an idea to fool the system.
He slowly walked forward and sat down next to her.
"...?"
Hyuuga Hinata was puzzled.
But her shy personality prevented her from daring to ask.
She lowered her head, nervously poking her two index fingers together.
"I'm Beize, the teacher for Class 1-A."
Beize turned his head to look at her. Her skin was snow-white, like an exquisite doll.
"T-Teacher, hello!"
Hyuuga Hinata greeted him, a bit flustered.
The Hyuuga clan was considered aristocracy among ninja, placing great importance on rules and etiquette.
"No need to be so polite."
Beize smiled gently and asked, "Can I be your deskmate?"
He didn't directly mention the scarf, as that would be too rash.
"You can."
Hyuuga Hinata answered subconsciously, but then tilted her head to look at him, her face filled with confusion.
"I haven't finished my lesson prep, and there's no seat at the podium, so I can only be your deskmate temporarily."
Beize opened the materials in his hand and spouted nonsense.
'This is a lie.'
But Hyuuga Hinata didn't overthink it and believed him.
Just then, three more lines of text appeared before Beize's eyes.
[Current Mission: Become the first classmate in class to attract the attention of Principal Sarutobi Hiruzen.]
[Mission Reward: Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.]
[Accept?]
'There's such a good deal?'
'This system isn't as stupid as I thought.'
Beize immediately chose to accept. After all, it was something he could do easily.
He had originally planned to leave a deep impression on Sarutobi Hiruzen during the first class anyway.
'This is called worldly wisdom, the main focus is loyalty.'
Hyuuga Hinata stared blankly at this good-looking teacher.
'He's so familiar.'
But at the same time, she felt envious.
If she had this kind of personality, perhaps she wouldn't have disappointed her father, Hyuuga Hiashi, time and time again.
"What are you looking at?"
Beize, having thought of a way, turned back and noticed Hyuuga Hinata was spacing out, her bright, watery eyes looking a bit dazed.
"N-Nothing."
Hyuuga Hinata met his gaze, and her face instantly turned red.
"By the way, you still haven't told me your name, Miss Hyuuga."
Beize asked with a smile.
"Eh?"
Hyuuga Hinata quickly stood up and said, very embarrassed, "H-How rude of me. My name is Hyuuga Hinata!"
"Look at you, being so polite again."
Beize reached out, patted her head, and said, "We're deskmates now, not teacher and student."
"S-Sorry."
Hyuuga Hinata stiffened and lowered her head again.
"Sit down, let's talk."
Beize retracted his hand and said.
Hyuuga Hinata obediently sat down, her knees together, her small hands resting on her lap.
She suddenly thought of something and raised her head.
"Um... how did you know my surname is Hyuuga?"
Hyuuga Hinata asked curiously.
"Your Byakugan, of course."
Beize said, studying her eyes.
"D-Don't look."
Hyuuga Hinata turned her head away. "They're not nice to look at."
"I think they're very pretty."
An idea struck Beize, and he asked, "Why do you think they're not nice to look at?"
"I..."
Hyuuga Hinata hesitated, looking conflicted.
"We're friends now, right?"
Beize said with a smile.
"They said it."
Hyuuga Hinata's cute little face paled slightly. "They said the Byakugan is ugly."
'Just as I thought.'
'This is what those three brats said when they bullied Hinata in the original story.'
'And the scarf mentioned in the mission was also snatched by them.'
"Something like that happened? Then I must discipline them."
Beize's expression became serious.
"Ah?"
Hyuuga Hinata was completely stunned, not expecting him to say that.
"Do you still remember them?"
Beize said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I'm a teacher. I won't do anything to them."
"I remember."
Hyuuga Hinata nodded, then said with difficulty, "But I don't know their names."
"That's okay."
Beize said casually, "Just tell me their main characteristics."
"They were three boys, about my age... That's about it."
Hyuuga Hinata said while trying to recall.
"That's enough. I've already narrowed down a few candidates. I'll go confirm after class."
Beize smiled and said.
'Every class has a few brats, more or less.'
'And since Hinata already described them, it won't be hard to find.'
"Th-That's amazing!"
Hyuuga Hinata blurted out.
In her mind, Beize had already become a very reliable adult.
"It's a small matter."
Beize waved his hand. "I'll let you know when I have results."
"Thank you, Teacher Beize."
Hyuuga Hinata said with a grateful expression.
Just as Beize was about to speak, he heard a conversation from the doorway.
"Sakura, do you think our teacher is a handsome guy?"
"It doesn't matter if the teacher is handsome. What's important is having lots of handsome classmates!"
Two little girls walked into the classroom.
One had pink hair tied with a ribbon, revealing a fair forehead.
One had a blonde ponytail, with bangs falling to cover her right eye.
Beize glanced at them and recognized them as Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino.
The former was one of the original story's female protagonists, who saved the ninja world together with the two male protagonists, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
'Of course, she wasn't the MVP. At best, she was just carried to victory.'
The latter was the 'Ino' in Konoha's new generation of 'Ino-Shika-Chō', mainly responsible for control and sensing.
She and Haruno Sakura both liked Uchiha Sasuke, but because she lacked the protagonist's halo, she ultimately became the 'blonde loser'.
"So handsome!"
Yamanaka Ino noticed Beize, her eyes widening.
"Is this our teacher?"
Haruno Sakura's spirits lifted as she asked.
