Chapter 177: Teacher Li Boyong

Ding-dong-ding-dong~~~~~

The long, lingering school bell drifted across the campus. Class 2-4 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Jindai High School welcomed a new Chinese teacher.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Boyong. Starting today, I will be serving as your Chinese teacher. Since your original teacher for Modern Chinese has taken maternity leave, I will be responsible for this course from now on."

To mask the aura of slaughter upon him, Li Boyong, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, had deliberately put on gold-rimmed glasses to make himself appear more scholarly and weak. He smiled harmlessly from the podium, introducing himself under the gaze of the entire class. "I'm very happy to meet you all. Teaching Class 2-4 as my first class—I suppose this is a kind of fate."

As he spoke, Li Boyong's gaze swept over the students below, spotting quite a few familiar faces.

For instance, Chidori Kaname, who wore her hair in a "forgiven" green... no, wait, a dark green long ponytail. Despite her dignified, lady-like appearance, for some reason, he could always sense a hidden wildness within her.

And...

And...

Alright, Li Boyong admitted that while the remaining supporting characters looked familiar, he truly couldn't recall their names.

But that didn't matter. What was important was that he hadn't seen a certain short-haired Mithril mercenary yet, and the name Sagara Sousuke was not on the class roster.

Ah, he was really looking forward to seeing how this military demolition maniac would perform after enrolling.

He remembered that back in the day, that guy had provided the punchline for his entire summer vacation during his childhood.

Thinking of this, Li Boyong's smile became even more harmless.

"Teacher, do you have a girlfriend now?"

It seemed the school culture was quite open. No sooner had Li Boyong finished his introduction than a female student raised her hand to ask.

Vaguely, Li Boyong even heard whispers among the girls like "He's quite handsome" and "He's a hottie."

Honestly, for Li Boyong, who grew up in the Republic, he felt it was a bit inappropriate for students to ask a teacher such questions.

However, it didn't matter.

He wasn't exactly a serious teacher anyway.

"Ahem, I currently have a lovely girlfriend I'm seeing."

Li Boyong smiled.

"Aww~~, what kind of girl is she?"

A student pressed for more.

"That's a secret."

Li Boyong gave a mysterious smile, though he was thinking to himself that she should be arriving soon.

"Eeeh~~~~"

Sounds of protest came from several female students below.

The next moment, two knocks sounded at the classroom door, and then the door was pushed open.

"Excuse me, Teacher Li Boyong." The homeroom teacher for Class 2-4, Kagurazaka Eri, walked in slowly and smiled at Li Boyong. "Coincidentally, we have a transfer student today who happens to arrive at our Jindai High School on the same day as you, Teacher."

After a pause, Kagurazaka Eri waved toward the outside of the classroom. "Come on in."

Following her invitation, Shihe, wearing the Jindai High School female uniform, entered everyone's field of vision.

Li Boyong watched Shihe in the high school uniform with a smile, secretly making a "YES" gesture in his heart.

CG collection successful!

"Hello everyone, I am Shihe Haniwusu, transferring to Jindai High School starting today."

Shihe introduced herself to the students in a poised manner. Her outstanding Coordinator appearance, combined with her cold, elegant temperament as both a soldier and a researcher, made her look like an untouchable flower on a high peak.

The boys below immediately erupted, and many girls also showed expressions of amazement.

"So pretty."

"Ah, I've met my destined goddess today."

"Onee-sama!"

"I want to be trampled by her..."

Wait, it seemed some strange sounds had mixed in.

Li Boyong tried to identify the guy who said that nonsense from the noisy class, but failed.

Seriously, he even stole my lines... ahem... nothing, nothing at all.

Next, it seemed to be the "Q&A session" for the new student, as the rowdy students threw one question after another at Shihe.

"Shihe-san, what kind of snacks do you like?"

"Where did you go to school before?"

"Who is your favorite celebrity?"

Shihe patiently answered these questions one by one, some based on the forged past experiences in her file, others just made up on the spot.

"Sigh..."

Dealing with the students' overly enthusiastic questions, Shihe sighed quietly in her heart.

She secretly glanced at Li Boyong, who was watching with a smile from the podium, and gave him a slightly reproachful look.

Seriously, he just loves causing trouble, making her play a high school girl—to think this guy could come up with such an idea.

"Excuse me, Shihe-san, do you have a boyfriend?"

It was unclear which idiot had the guts to ask this out-of-bounds question. The classroom atmosphere froze, but the boys stared at Shihe nervously, waiting for her answer.

"I do, and it's a relationship with a promise for the future."

Shihe answered straightforwardly.

"Aww~~~"

The boys let out wails of despair.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, the homeroom teacher for Class 2-4, Kagurazaka Eri, began to control the situation. She clapped her hands and said, "Alright, alright, enthusiasm is a good thing, but don't scare the new student."

"Shihe-san." She turned her head to look at Shihe's height and said, "Your seat will temporarily be the empty one behind Chidori-san. She is our class representative; if you have any questions, you can ask her."

"Chidori-san, I'll leave the new student to you."

Facing the teacher's instruction, Chidori Kaname, as the class representative, stood up and answered seriously, "Yes, Teacher."

Shihe took the opportunity to walk to her seat and sit down.

"Well then, Teacher Li Boyong, I'll leave the first period to you. I'll take my leave now and won't disturb your teaching."

After arranging for the new student, Kagurazaka Eri gave Li Boyong a polite nod and left the classroom.

"Alright, let's begin the class now."

Li Boyong looked at the students below and picked up the chalk and textbook with a smile.

Ding-dong-ding-dong~~~

The dismissal bell rang. Li Boyong announced the end of class and returned to the teachers' office.

As a teacher for an elective course, the number of classes he had to teach wasn't limited to just the female lead's Class 2-4, but it wasn't many either, so his teaching workload wasn't heavy.

After tidying up his things and saying hello to his colleagues, Li Boyong tucked his briefcase under his arm and strolled toward his temporary residence in this country.

It was a seven-story apartment building, neither new nor old. His room was 506 on the fifth floor. Li Boyong passed by room 506, which had the surname "Li" on the doorplate, but had no intention of going in.

Instead, he entered room 507 next door, which had the surname "Hafunis" on the doorplate.

Although his registered residence was 506, it was occupied by the subordinates he had brought to Tokyo this time.

He didn't want to squeeze into a unit with a bunch of guys, so naturally, he chose to live with Shihe. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
