The classroom fell silent.Everyone sat properly, but the air felt strange.
Shi continued smiling and was about to speak-When a male student interrupted her lazily.
He looked averagely handsome, with dark red hair and brown eyes. He wore a white jacket instead of the proper uniform, with a loosely tied necktie as if it were decoration.His name was Nakahara Ren.A normal human.
"Haaaa~~~~ Again a male teacher? That sucks."
The boy sitting beside him was prettier and handsome. Dark brown hair, a mole beside his lip Kenma Rei A Red User.
"Looks like we'll never see a female teacher in our entire student life."
From the back, another voice spoke.
Blonde hair. Black eyes. Earrings. A delinquent aura Kimura Riku Also a normal human.
"We're suffering from a female
drought."
Shi blinked.She hadn't expected that.
Then she cleared her throat.
"For your kind information... I'm a woman."
Silence.
The entire class stared at her collar.She was wearing a slightly loose shirt with a dark redtie Realization hit Shi immediately covered her chest with the papers in her hand.
"Students! Where are you looking?! That's sexual harassment!"
Ren pointed lazily.
"But there's nothing there."
This time, Shi got flustered.
"T-This is totally-"
THUD!
The classroom door slammed open.
Shi turned sharply-And froze for a moment.A girl stood at the doorway Long white hair reaching her knees Pale skin Two beauty marks under her right eye.She was shorter than ShiHer name was Sahashi SoraA White User She was panting.
"S-sorry teacher! I was late because I was conducting an urgent interview with a rare butterfly species for my school project. It only shares its migration patterns in haiku form, so I had to wait for it to finish its poetic narrative..."
The class was silent.Ren leaned toward Kenma and whispered,
"Didn't she use that excuse at least ten times with ten different teachers?"
"Yeah. And they all believed her."
Shi stared at Sora calmly.
"Interesting story... but there's a plot hole."
Sora stiffened.
"The species you're referring to is extinct in this region. I also checked the ecology department. There is no such project. And most importantly... your hands are clean. No dirt. No equipment marks."
She stepped closer slightly.
"And why are you collecting butterflies in the morning before school?"
The classroom froze Sora blinked.
Then smiled sarcastically.
"Oops. I got busted.( ╹▽╹ )"
Shi's face turned cold.
"It's my first day. So I'll let it go. But don't lie to me again."
The temperature in the room seemed to drop.
"I don't like liars."
Sora felt a chill.
Then Shi suddenly smiled again.
"Though... I do enjoy knowing when someone is lying. Sit down."
The class felt emotional whiplash.Roll Call
"Hanazawa Rin."
Silence.
"Absent?"
Sora pointed.
"She answered. Look under the desk."
Shi looked.a girl was practically melting into the floor.
"Sorrysorrysorrysorry teacher..."
Hanazawa Rin.
Brown shoulder-length hair tied in aside ponytail.Light brown eyes.Red User Extremely shy.
"You don't have to be that scared. I won't eat you for now"
"...F-for now?!(╬⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾ Д ⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾)"
"Wait-no. I mean I won't eat you forever. I'm not a monster. Why are we even talking about eating?"
The entire class thought the same thing:
You're the one who brought it up.
"Shirosaki Haruka."
No response.Kenma answered calmly.
"He hasn't come for three days. I heard
he's sick."
A boy at the back looked worried.Shi noticed.But said nothing she completed the roll call and said
"Open your English books."
No one moved.Shi tilted her head.
"What happened?"
Ren crossed his arms.
"We don't want to take your class."
"And why?"
"Teachers change every two months. Ten teachers already. They don't teach properly. They act strange. Then they disappear."
Shi smiled softly.
"I won't run away."
"That's what they all say," Kimura muttered.
Shi paused.
"Umm... I have a money complex.( ╹▽╹ )"
After saying this shi saw the situation got worse The class stared at her like she was an insect and was maybe asking her "so what"
"I'm being paid double. No one else will pay me this much. If I run away, I'll starve. And if I do run away, I'll give you my address. You can drag me back."
Silence.
"By the way... do you know who I am?"
"Our teacher?" Sora replied.
Shi paused Ah So her reputation hadn't spread here.This was the government city.Information was controlled.In her old city-a criminal city-everyone knew who she was.Here?
She was just another teacher For now.
"Fine,"
she clapped lightly. "Let's open the English book."
She suddenly paused and thought
Wait... did I bring the book?
"...Oh."She didn't.She looked up stiffly.
"Ahem. Since it's the first day, let's just introduce ourselves. That's enough. Bye."
She began walking toward the door.
"Shi," Sora called sweetly.
"Did you forget your English book?"
Shi froze.Turned slowly.
"Hahaha. Why would a teacher forget her book? I planned introductions today."
The entire class thought:
"Just admit it will ya?(- . -)"
They had hoped this year would be peaceful.After seeing their new teacher-They realized peace was not an option.
Break Time Shi walked down the corridor, planning to explore the school.
Suddenly-She felt someone behind her She turned.A boy stood there, smiling mischievously.
"Want me to give you a tour of the
school?"
....
