Extra: Cautious Teacher

「Lista. It seems that a new teacher is coming today. 」

In the morning. Aria sat next to me and whispered in my ear. I knew that a replacement teacher would come because our teacher, Nemesil, was in poor physical condition.

「What kind of teacher is he? 」

「I heard he is Japanese. 」

「Ehh. 」

Then, I heard a loud voice from behind.

「Damn! I don’t like Japanese people! 」

I looked back and saw Celseus, the loser of our class, with his feet on the desk. I secretly spoke to Aria.

「He…He is kinda scary. 」

「Yes. I feel that something is about to happen… 」

This place, the State Isister Academy, had a mixture of honor students like Aria and deficiencies like Celseus. To put it bluntly, it was not a very disciplined school. Six months had passed since I entered the school, and I was keenly aware of that fact. Aria and I were worried that there might be a quarrel between the new teacher and Celseus. While thinking about that, the door of the classroom suddenly opened.

…He was finally here!

Not only me. The whole class looked attentively at the door. However…The one who came into our classroom was not the new teacher.

Five police officers in uniforms rushed inside with great momentum!

「Wha…What is going on!? 」

I looked at the police officers in amazement. However, they passed by me and headed toward Celseus’ seat. They immediately surrounded the sitting Celseus.

「Are you Celseus? 」

「Ah, yeah. What the heck do you want with me… 」

「Secure! Secure him! 」

When one of the police officers shouted, the other four officers jumped at Celseus. I saw that Celseus became violent and tried to escape, but the officers seized him successfully, and eventually this disturbance subsided.

「…Thank you for your hard work. 」

Suddenly, I heard an icy voice, and I looked back at the front of our classroom. A tall man stood there. He looked fixedly at Celseus, whom the police officers handcuffed.

「I heard a rumor about rotten oranges in this class. So I made a report in advance.」

I shuddered in fear. Then…Then, this teacher called the police in advance because he anticipated Celseus’ future misbehavior…That’s way too crazy!!

Celseus, who couldn’t move freely, glared intensively at the man who stood at the front of the classroom.

「Don’t you dare joke with me, you fucking bastard!! I haven’t done anything yet!!」

「“Yet”, it means that you were actually going to do something in the end. Police officers, he confessed to the crime.」

「Roger! 」

The police officers saluted the man. Then, they pulled Celseus’ arm and said, “Come on, let’s go”.

「Se…Seriously…Am I being arrested…!? 」

At that time, Celseus’ strong face disappeared without a trace left.

「This is a tyrannyyyyyyyyyy…!! Somebody help meeeeeeeeeee!! 」

Celseus cried aloud. I thought he had such a corrupt personality, but unexpectedly, he had a heart made of glass. I mean, I would cry too if I were arrested for not doing anything!

After Celseus was taken away, the tall man clapped in the panicked classroom.

「Okay. Nice to meet you. My name is Ryuguuin Seiya and I am in charge of this class starting today.」

…!? No way!! He started to introduce himself as if nothing ever happened!! How could he even say, “Nice to meet you”!?

However, when I looked at him again, I noticed that he had very tall physique and a good-looking face. My heart began beating fast.

He was so cool even though he was Japanese!! His good-looks were so captivating that I forgot about Celseus’ arrest!!

「I will verify your attendance now. First, Adenela…Adenela. 」

However, no matter how much the teacher called her name, there was no reply.

「She isn’t here, I see. Maybe she is late. 」

Aria, the class representative, raised her hand.

「Teacher. Adenela has been absent since the first semester. 」

That’s right. The only time I saw Adenela was at the entrance ceremony. Then, she continued to miss school. I remembered that she was a little dark back then. On this very moment, I heard the sound of someone running through the hallway. And…

「I…I…I am sorry for…being late. 」

「Ehhhhhhhh!? 」

I yelled reflexively! The one who jumped into the classroom was Adenela who was supposed to be absent from school! Aria seemed to be surprised as well and asked her the following question.

「Adenela! Why did you come to school today? 」

「The…The teacher came to see…see me yesterday. I…I’ve been watching…watching anime without…stopping…but I think the…the reality may not be bad either. *laughs weirdly*」

I felt uncomfortable upon hearing Adenela’s laugh. Then, I noticed that she looked at Teacher Ryuguuin with a fascinating look. However, the teacher bluntly said, “Get to your seat quickly,” and he resumed his classroom attendance call.

This…This teacher was amazing! He dealt with Celseus’ case and Adenela’s absence in advance! He was a great and fearsome teacher at the same time!

After finishing the attendance call, the teacher spoke with a serious expression.

「The elimination of the defect and the improvement of a student’s life who did not attend school have been completed successfully. However, I heard about Mithis who engages in impure heterosexual exchanges, and Valkyrie, the female bully who is in conflict with the Ephedra High School…This class has many problems.」

He even knew about Valkyrie and Mithis! He has done a lot of research! By the way, neither of them came to school today! When I felt impressed, I noticed that the teacher was staring at me. Eh! Wha…What were those eyes? Do…Don’t tell me that this teacher also had complaints about me…?

「And Listarte…You have the worst grades in this class.」

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! He even knew about meeeeeeeee!!

Aria rescued me while the teacher glared at me coldly.

「Teacher! Lista is always studying seriously! She is not a bad girl!」

Ahh, Aria! Thank you! As expected of my dear friend!

「Are you the class representative, Ariadoa? Then, Listarte takes classes every day, takes notes well, and still has the worst grades in the class…Is that what you’re saying?」

「Yes! That’s right! 」

…!? Ugh!! That was kind of embarrassing!! I was no fool!! If I skipped class then it would explain my poor grades, but I never did that!! So I had no way of defending myself!!

「Hmm. If that is true, then you have a problem with the way you study. Listarte, I will speak with you after school.」

Then, the teacher left the classroom.

「Lista. Are you okay? 」

「Ye…Yes. I’m fine. 」

Aria looked at me with an anxious look…A…A meeting after school with the teacher…Ju…Just the two of us…!? I felt excited in a different way.

—

After school. Time went by quickly.

Everybody went home and I waited nervously in the classroom.  After a moment, the door opened and the teacher Ryuguuin came in.

「Ehh!! 」

I was shocked. The teacher arrived with a pile of reference books. And then, he put the pile on my desk.

「Teacher! Wha…What is the meaning of this…? 」

「From now on, you will copy all the sentences written in these reference books into your notebook. You can’t leave school until you’re over.」

「No way!! I’m going to die!! 」

「Hmm. Are you going to die? I feel like you are immortal somehow.」

「There’s no way that I’m an immortal high school girl!!」

「Thinking about it now, that’s certainly true. I thought you were one for some reason.」

「This…This method is useless. I won’t get it right no matter how much I study.」

Correct. I tried to improve my grades many times. I went to a cram school, and I studied alone at home on holidays from morning till night. Still, I did not improve.

「Do you want to repeat a year? 」

「Of course not… 」

「Listarte…No, Lista. You mustn’t say, “I can’t study”.」

「Teacher…? 」

「Did you do it for 10 times, or even 100 times? If that doesn’t work for you, then you must try for 1000 times, 10,000 times, 10 billion times. You can only say, “I can’t study” after trying.」

「No, if I did it 10 billion times, wouldn’t I repeat a year as a result!?」

I felt apprehensive, but the teacher looked closely at my eyes and said the following words.

「Anyway. I will help you out as far as I can. Lista. You are my student after all.」

…Te…Teacher…!

Elementary school, junior high school, and cram school…I met many teachers over the years. However, I thought all the teachers gave up on me.

…But…But, this teacher was different! He spoke unrealistically at times, but he did not abandon me!

I felt a very hot feeling inside and I could not control myself. I leaned against the teacher.

「Teacher Ryuguuin! I…I…I…for you…!! 」

On this very moment. The door of the classroom opened forcefully, and five police officers rushed inside like an avalanche!

「Secure! Secure her!」

「Wha…Wha…What on earth is going onnnnnnn!?」

I screamed just like the time when the police officers arrested Celseus this morning. The teacher looked at me with cold eyes.

「I noticed the way you looked at me sometimes. As you are aware, love is prohibited between students and teachers. So I called the police officers in advance.」

I was appalled by this sudden occurrence. The teacher stood up and began to prepare his stuff for tomorrow’s lecture.

「Do your homework properly while you are in custody. That’s all. 」

「…!? What the hell do you mean by “that’s all”!! Don’t screw with me, heyyyyyyyyyy!! 」

The police officers took me away as I screamed like a lunatic.
