Early summer.
The sun shines longer than usual, heralding the long-awaited arrival of early summer. A flawless blue sky stretches over the city, occasionally adorned with white clouds drifting slowly like lost boats on a sea of wind. The air begins to warm, and the scent of freshly cut grass mingles with the fragrance of blooming flowers along the footpath.
Ohananomitsu High School, Class 2-B, Second Year.
Standing at the podium is a woman in her mid-20s, her long, light red hair resembling cherry blossoms, her emerald-green eyes sparkling beautifully, and her figure in a suit with black stockings is undeniably alluring.
Unfortunately, she exudes a cold aura, and her sharp gaze keeps her single despite her beauty.
Her name is Kirisu Mafuyu, one of the five most popular female teachers at Ohananomitsu High School.
"Nakano-sensei is taking maternity leave. So, I will be taking over the history lessons."
Mafuyu's words dropped like an atomic bomb, causing a commotion in the previously quiet classroom.
"WHAT?! Nakano-sensei is pregnant? Damn, which scumbag did it! As a leader of the FFF, I never received any intel that Nakano-sensei was in a romantic relationship with a man!"
"Damn! I'm so jealous! Who would have thought Nakano-sensei, the dedicated teacher, would have a scandal."
"Geez, could the man who got Nakano-sensei pregnant be a male student at Ohananomitsu High?"
"Nonsense! There's no way Nakano-sensei would do such a thing! Don't slander her!"
"Don't let me find out who did it! Otherwise, I'll... ask for advice on how to win the heart of an adult woman."
The male students in the class lamented the fact that their favorite teacher, Nakano Itsuki, was pregnant out of wedlock. Though not uncommon in modern times, it was still a scandal.
On the other hand, the female students had even wilder imaginations than the male students.
"Oh my, who would have thought Nakano-sensei, who always dazzled in front of her students, would be pregnant out of wedlock."
"Since Nakano-sensei is pregnant, it means she'll be getting married soon. I wonder if she'll continue her career or become a housewife."
"Hmph. We can't judge others just by their appearance. Nakano-sensei, who seemed so virtuous, is actually a loose woman."
"Miura-san, don't badmouth Nakano-sensei. No one is without faults, and Nakano-sensei is no exception. Besides, getting pregnant out of wedlock is quite common these days."
"Your words are too harsh, Miura-san. Nakano-sensei has always been kind to you; how can you speak ill of her behind her back?"
Although Nakano Itsuki was very popular among the students, it didn't mean everyone liked her. Especially a girl named Miura Yumiko, who was jealous of Nakano's natural beauty.
Meanwhile, in the back row near the window facing outside, also known as the protagonist's seat, a young man sat with a faint smile.
He was a handsome young man with brown eyes and short, light brown hair with bangs covering his forehead and the space between his eyes.
'Wow, their reaction is more intense than I expected. If they knew that the one who got Itsuki pregnant was her student, I'm afraid the school would be in an uproar.'
A romantic relationship between a teacher and a student is highly taboo in Japan. If discovered, social death is a certainty for the teacher involved. That's why teachers usually reject any advances from students.
To avoid the worst-case scenario, the young man named Rokuhara Ren suppressed his desire to boast about his achievement of impregnating the homeroom teacher of Class 2-B, Nakano Itsuki.
'Although I'm a scumbag, I'm not an irresponsible trash. This world isn't as peaceful as it seems on the surface; I need to find magical items to protect my women from dangers that could arise at any moment.' Ren thought to himself.
In fact, he was a transmigrant from another world.
Five years ago, he arrived in this world and obtained a new identity.
The original owner of this identity was a native of this world and an orphan after his parents died of heart attacks due to overwork.
This wasn't a rare case. On the contrary, every year many workers exploited by black companies die from overwork. Ren's parents were just one of many among them.
Perhaps anticipating this situation, his parents had purchased an expensive life insurance policy. As a result, Ren was able to fund his education without even needing a part-time job.
'Money used to be just numbers to me. Now, I can feel what people from the lower class experience. Life is full of surprises.'
Thinking of the wealth that wouldn't run out even after seven generations, Ren smiled bitterly.
In his previous life, Ren's background was extreme compared to his current life.
Unlike the original owner of the body he now possessed, he wasn't from a middle-class family. Instead, he was born into one of the Nine Dragons families and grew up as a spoiled young master.
In Indonesia, the term Nine Dragons often refers to a group of tycoons or large conglomerates with significant influence over the country's economy and politics. This term isn't an official name but a popular one referring to a handful of businessmen who control various strategic economic sectors, such as banking, real estate, industry, and media.
In public, the president is the highest authority in Indonesia. But behind the scenes, the Nine Dragons are the true rulers of Indonesia. They are immune to the law and can do whatever they want.
Selling sand to Singapore, fencing off the sea as private property, seizing land from the people, controlling public opinion and news media, opening online gambling businesses, treating the police as nothing more than lackeys, and so on. In short, there's nothing the Nine Dragons can't do in Indonesia!
The people might think Indonesia is a democratic country, but in fact, democracy has long been replaced by an oligarchy of the Nine Dragons.
Back to the main topic. Theoretically, being born into such a family should have made Ren a spoiled, incompetent playboy, spending his time having fun and relying on his family background to oppress others. In essence, he would be the typical antagonist in most urban novels.
However, he was different from his siblings, who had dark and deviant personalities.
Ren was born with a photographic memory. He always scored the highest in exams, meaning he was academically competent and intelligent enough that he didn't need to study.
Holding the principle: "True wisdom isn't just recognizing the dangers of corruption but also knowing when to walk away and when to fight it." Ren didn't completely fall into depravity like the rest of his family. At most, he enjoyed one-night stands with famous celebrities.
Compared to his womanizing ways, which didn't harm anyone, his siblings' actions, which often ruined others' lives as easily as crushing ants, were like comparing the sky to the earth.
Ren had witnessed dirty events that should only happen in TV dramas or novels, occurring in his own life.
Gradually, he became numb and accustomed to it.
Aside from his womanizing hobby, Ren was obsessed with seeking various thrills.
Rock climbing, parkour, bungee jumping, surfing, extreme off-roading, extreme water skiing, extreme rollerblading, skydiving, hang gliding, and so on. He sought more and more stimulation.
His death was also caused by seeking thrills. During one skydiving session, his parachute didn't open, causing him to fall to the ground without a parachute and die on the spot.
When he woke up, Ren found himself in the body of a middle school student. What was even more astonishing was that this wasn't an ordinary world but a combination of everyday anime!
"Rokuhara-kun, are you listening? Don't daydream, or you'll get scolded by Kirisu-sensei later."
A gentle woman's voice snapped Ren out of his daze.
