Chapter 386: Kuoh High School (2)
—
"Kuoh High is a prodigious school, one of the best in the entire country. Male teachers are scarce, as are male students since it was an all-girls High School until recently. Now we are mixed, and for that reason only we are hiring more male teachers. Yet you are late on your first day of teaching? It is not a good look."
To begin with, Neji was curious why the hell the Student Council President cared so much about the new teachers. She should be contained within ruling over the students.
…Then again, she and Rias Gremory held all the power in this place, surely more than whomever the Principal was.
"I apologize,"
Seeing her about to open her mouth again, Neji apologized.
"I was helping a lost person find her path."
Shona Shitori, or Sona Sitri which was her real name, frowned at that. She shut her lips and stared at him. Shaking her head, she turned around and walked off.
"Follow me, I'll show you your class."
Neji walked behind her without any words and listened to her explain some stuff. What he will be teaching, plus the simple rules in the school; additionally, a gentle warning to not do anything weird with the students.
As Neji watched, his head shifted to the side as his blue eyes locked to a pair of red eyes in the far. In the far, in an old building, which was the previous school building, a smiling girl stood beside a window, with her red hair fluttering in the air.
'Rias…? She's cute.'
* * *
Sona explained basically everything that he needed to know; there was no need to meet anybody else from the school authority. However, he did go meet with the Principal, which lasted around a minute.
The principal was a middle-aged man, who was older than he looked. Neji sensed that he had made a pact with a devil, as one could expect from the principal of a devil-infested school.
Oh, Sisty and Asia were right there in the same room, talking to the principal about Asia's admission. When Neji and Sona left, he saw through Sisty's eyes as she used a Genjutsu to go through the process easily, and thankfully Sona wasn't sharp enough to notice the use of mana.
There was nothing else worth noting about the situation. Neji was then led to a class full of students, where Sona said he was to teach English.
It was an easy enough subject for someone like him with 100% System Proficiency in that language. In fact, he could even explain why the blue curtains were used to represent sadness by the writer.
"I hope you can handle things from here on out," said Sona Sitri, and walked away.
Neji stared at her walking away for a few seconds and turned to face the door in front of him. Surprisingly, he hesitated. His hands shook a little as he grabbed the door handle and opened it.
A classic Japanese classroom greeted him. Neji suddenly knew why he had hesitated. This reminded him of his school life… back in his Hero Academia. But he was a teacher now, which in turn reminded him of his cute Sensei, Midnight.
"How time flies, eh."
Chuckling to himself, Neji stepped in as all the students who were a gossiping mess, having fun due to the teacher being late, froze. Even with his CHA very low, and his looks very nerdy, everyone paused.
For these second-year students, seventeen of age, this massive man wasn't someone whom any of them wanted to mess with.
"Everyone,"
Neji spoke clear English, just like how he had been conversing with Asia all the time. He walked to the podium, put the book and marker he carried on it, and looked at all the students.
"I am your new English teacher; no, don't say anything yet. Keep your lips shut and go back to your seats. Pray that Shakespeare be merciful with you all because I won't be."
As he was bored and not in a very good mood, must he bully some children….?
Okay, no, he was just going to be a little bit strict, that's not bullying.
The kids scattered and took their seats, as Neji's teaching career, which would end shortly, began.
* * *
Aika Kiryuu was blessed with a strange ability; to calculate a man's manhood with just a look.
She did not hate this ability, in fact, she had created it herself over time. Even as a girl, her perverted personality could match the most powerful of male degenerates. So she came to possess such an ability.
In her seventeen years of life, she had seen a lot of guys, and so had calculated a lot of private parts. Her [Size Scouter] had given her mixed results over the years, and there had been a few that surprised her. For either being too small, or too big.
Today, it was one of those days. She was silently sitting at the end of the classroom, as people didn't interact with her on their own; she was a little unhappy about why the new teacher was late. She liked classes because then sitting in her own seat was natural, but when everyone was scattered in the room, with their friends, it made it painfully clear how lonely she truly was.
Yet, when the teacher finally arrived, relief wasn't the emotion she felt. Aika felt numb. Her mind went blank.
'No way…'
Was her calculation wrong?
To be fair, the new teacher was tall. She could see signs of Japanese heritage on his face, but she wouldn't be surprised if he was mixed. So that size…
'No fucking way, no. It's flaccid, even. This can't be true.'
Aika kept staring, her mouth agape, as she realized the world was bigger than what she thought it was. For once, her hunched back straightened, as she focused all her attention on the supernatural in front of her.
….
"Hey, you, yes you. Stand up and introduce yourself. Then tell me how your day was to this moment, all in English."
"Errm…"
The unlucky student whom Neji had pointed his finger at looked around. He really hoped it was not actually him whom the finger was pointing at, but when Neji called again, he couldn't help but sigh and stood up.
"My nameu…. isu…"
He began to speak, causing some to give him pitied looks while a few broke out laughing, without intending to. The latter party met a worse fate, as they were called to stand up.
Neji was a little amused at this. He could feel that he would get bored of it soon, but for now, it was fun messing with these kids.
On that note, Issei Hyuudo was attending this exact class. He and his two perverted friends were currently standing, with their hands grabbing their ears, as they stood punished.
[Issei Hyuudo – Devil – Tier 1]
It was a bit weird seeing a main character this weak. Even Fujimaru was Tier 3, yet this guy was just Tier 1. More so, Issei was already a devil, yet he was not stronger than a teen. It was kind of disappointing.
He moved on from the subject and instead picked on some more students. Soon, Neji was looking into the golden eyes of one particular student who had been staring at him most attentively since the start.
[Aika Kiryuu – Tier 1]
His [Observe] didn't add any race, so she must be a normal human. He could ignore her low Tier, in that case. It still bothered him a little how naked he felt to her eyes. Not that he being seen naked bothered him, but how it happened did.
She wasn't using any spells. There was no trace of magic, and he was somewhat sure she wasn't some extraterritorial entity who could just avoid his senses. So she was just a normal high school girl, just one who was so perverted that her normal eyes could scan his entire body naked.
She reminded him of one person.
"Kimi?"
Neji called outright, staring at her. The girl was broken out of her focus, blinking just like everyone else in the room.
Neji ignored them and expanded the girl's status screen.
[Name: Aika Kiryuu
Age: 17-year-old
Race: Human
MP: 12690/12690]
Neji was immediately disappointed. Other than her more than decent mana points for an untrained human, she had nothing he was looking for. Certainly no signs of her being Kimi, either.
"Um, Sensei, it's Aika Kiryuu."
The girl stood up and said, a little nervous. She must be confused why he called her a different name, making Neji sigh.
"You just reminded me of someone, my bad. Of course, you're not her…"
If anything, she looked more like that girl from that cursed six digits.
The girl just nodded, and Neji decided to not ask her anything. Since he did make a small blunder, he could let her off.
"Take your seat. You, in front of her, stand up."
Aika blinked, a bit confused, but she took her seat still. Not long after, she regained her focus and stared at him.
A few minutes later, a knock fell on the door. Neji stopped his endeavor, telling everyone to sit down, as the door opened.
Once again, all students were speechless. Everyone stared at the blonde girl, clear of her foreign heritage, who was with the stylish white-haired woman wearing round black shades, looking as if she was related to their new Sensei.
Both of them wore the school's outfit, and that made Neji frown. What was his spiritual half doing? She was supposed to be Asia's guardian, not another student.
Asia was waving her hand frantically in his direction, while he was busy staring at Sisty, and talking to her telepathically.
'Eager to play student, are you?'
[Learned from the best.]
With a sigh, Neji gestured them inside as the class continued.
* * *
Later, when class ended, Neji left for the teacher's office. He promptly noticed that Issei Hyuudo was following him, and no matter how many turns and twists he took in the hallways, the kid followed suit.
"Hm?"
Pausing for a moment, he turned around and gave him a dry look. Issue flinched.
"Ah, Sensei, I am heading to the office too. I need to see another Sensei there…"
"I see."
That made sense. Neji turned around and continued walking. Finding the door of the office soon, he opened it and looked inside. To his surprise, no other teacher was there yet, except one. It was a woman who…
Neji paused.
"There she is, Yuhei Sensei. I bumped into her this morning, she fell and hit her head. I am here to check if she's all right or not."
Issei explained, not fully seeing the person who was sleeping in a chair inside the room.
Neji had already turned to face him by then. With a brief flash of his eyes, using a simple Genjutsu.
"Leave."
Issei didn't even hesitate and turned around to walk away.
Neji closed the door behind him, throwing his books and markers away, as he quickly approached the sleeping girl.
The blonde woman was wearing a pencil skirt, with a white shirt tucked within it. Her two cat ears wiggled on her head, as a cat tail was slipping out of the chair.
That woman…
Neji didn't even need to use [Observe] to know who it was.
