Chapter 33

Sakura Junior High School, teachers' office.

Physical education teacher 【Aihara Kyoko】 was preparing to take a nap during the lunch break when, just as her consciousness was blurring, a series of clamors and screams suddenly came from outside.

So noisy... what happened?

Her sleep interrupted, Aihara Kyoko was extremely annoyed.

After a while, a large group of female teachers returned to the office and began to gossip excitedly.

"Is that the new teacher? So young, so handsome!"

"I always thought Westerners were the most handsome race, I didn't expect an Asian could be this handsome!"

"Too handsome! More handsome than any celebrity I've ever seen!"

Aihara Kyoko buried her head in her arms, eyes closed, trying to grasp that last shred of lingering sleepiness to force herself back to sleep, but the gossiping of the female teachers around her never ceased.

In their descriptions, this new male teacher was "only found in heaven"; the domestic Takuya Kimura lacked three parts of his handsomeness, and the foreign Leonardo DiCaprio lacked three parts of his charm.

"He's coming, he's coming, he's walking over!" The chattering voices became even more excited.

Unable to bear it any longer, Aihara Kyoko opened her eyes and stood up; she had to see who had disturbed her peaceful dream!

Through the office's glass window, she saw a man and a woman walking side by side in the corridor; the woman had an average appearance and a cold expression, while the man's clean, fair face revealed a sharp, cold edge...

The moment she saw him, Aihara Kyoko's full-blown anger instantly extinguished, and her gaze became dull.

The woman was Saeki Reika, and the man, of course, was Qi Ming.

He was being led by Saeki Reika to tour the school and, incidentally, make an appearance.

"Sakura Junior High from 'Ultraman 80', huh? Not only is the name the same, but the principal and the dean I just saw are also the 'original cast'."

"That teacher in front seems to be Kyoko-sensei, who teaches PE. In the original series, Yamato Takeshi seemed to like her very much, and the students also thought they should be a couple."

Thinking of this, Qi Ming smiled slightly at her and nodded in greeting; this moment of "ice melting" made the group of female teachers scream like fangirls.

Saeki Reika sighed slightly at this, but she could understand the reaction of these teachers.

"You come to teach a class tomorrow, and we'll just take a photo as proof." She handed Qi Ming a stack of certificates.

Qi Ming flipped through them briefly; there were teacher qualification certificates, employment proof... at the very bottom was a Japanese nationality certificate.

Seeing this, he picked up this nationality certificate and gave it a light toss.

The nationality certificate traced a parabola and landed steadily in a trash can twenty meters away.

Saeki Reika: "You..."

Qi Ming: "My hometown doesn't recognize dual citizenship."

Saeki Reika: "But your identity..."

Qi Ming's tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "You can give a green card, you can give permanent residency, but nationality... did you bestow this 'honor' upon MacArthur back then too?"

Qi Ming never considered himself here to be a puppet soldier.

He merely accepted Moroboshi Dan's plea to stay in this disaster-ridden country, to curb major disasters at the source within his capabilities, and to protect the humans of this world.

If one were to really look into it, his ecological niche should be comparable to the five-star Emperor MacArthur of that time.

Saeki Reika knew as soon as she heard that Qi Ming was an expert and knew that these little tricks were useless, so she did not persist.

After Qi Ming returned to the command room, everyone was greatly surprised after learning the ins and outs of the matter.

Moroboshi Dan, leaning on his cane: "Anything, as long as it is done, must be done seriously. Although it is only teaching one class, it must also be treated seriously."

Qi Ming, who was preparing his lesson, said casually: "I was a middle school student six years ago, I have experience."

Emi: "But listening to a lecture and giving a lecture are different, right? There are many children that even many experienced old teachers cannot handle."

Qi Ming spoke of his own understanding:

"The language of adults is extremely imprecise, filled with a large amount of 'basic common sense' that has already been constructed."

"Most adults communicate casually under default common sense. Many researchers I have seen are like this, even creating new terms at every turn without defining them."

"And children know almost nothing about the world, and they might be hearing so-called common sense for the first time; you need to help them define the world and describe the world."

"People find it difficult to understand things they don't know, and even more so, they won't explain things they are accustomed to; this is the barrier between teachers and students."

Nagi Saijo spoke up very rarely: "So you will be careful with your wording and use vocabulary that children can understand, is that right?"

It could be seen that she was not indifferent to everything and still cared somewhat about the next generation of children.

Qi Ming: "That's right."

But Moroboshi Dan was still uneasy and insisted on following him the next day, even while leaning on his cane.

Emi also wanted to go, but unfortunately, she was not Qi Ming, who "only follows acceptable rules"; she had to write mission reports.

………………………………

Regarding Qi Ming, this "substitute teacher," the children in the class showed great enthusiasm.

Qi Ming saw many familiar faces from "Ultraman 80" in this class.

For example, the 【Doctor】, who was small and wore glasses.

And that child who summoned the monster 【Hoh】 after a heartbreak.

After Qi Ming stepped onto the podium and began to teach algebra, Moroboshi Dan listened for a while and felt that the teaching was probably quite good.

Because no student was slacking off, all eyes were focused on Qi Ming.

But after Moroboshi Dan watched for a while, he discovered that one seat was empty, so he asked the dean in charge of recording in a low voice what was going on.

The dean: "That child, I guess he went to look for a UFO."

Moroboshi Dan immediately sat up straight: "UFO?"

The dean said that the empty seat originally belonged to a student named 【Akio】.

But he recently started saying that he was actually an Earthling born on an outer planet, and he didn't come to class anymore; his whole mind was set on riding a spaceship to "go home."

Moroboshi Dan: "Is this true?"

The dean, who had rich teaching experience, laughed:

"Of course not. You should have heard that some students lie about having a stomachache to avoid coming to school during exams, or say things like they did their homework but forgot it at home; they are all excuses."

"That child named Akio has worse grades compared to other students, is not good at sports, and is even less comparable to his two older brothers and sisters; he doesn't have any good friends at school either."

"So he started to escape from such a self and made up a story that he was from an outer planet, thinking that as long as he wasn't a human, he wouldn't have to work hard anymore."

Moroboshi Dan was thoughtful; during the break, he pulled Qi Ming out and told him about this matter.

In his view, the teaching profession is sacred, and although Qi Ming was only a substitute teacher, he should also take responsibility and persuade that child to return to school.

——————————

Next, there will be an unprecedented "fivefold attack," as well as the revelation of the reason for the formation of this world.

The story is exciting, and there are new highlights every day; everyone should be willing to offer their monthly tickets, hehehe.
