He was one of the kind-hearted people who volunteered to help these cursed children, and he was also the headmaster here. His name was Matsuzaki.
"Let's go, the classroom is over there, the students are already waiting... Oh, I almost missed it, this is my first time being a teacher." Rentaro apologized to the principal.
Led by the principal, the group arrived at the classroom... an open-air version.
Indeed, calling this a classroom is an understatement; it's more like a relatively flat ruin.
The surrounding area was very clean, with a long bench made of stones in the middle, and in front of it was a wall that had not collapsed, which was used as a blackboard.
A dozen or so dirty and very thin little girls were sitting on a stone bench, waiting for their teacher.
When Rentaro saw the children, his face darkened.
Li Xiang keenly noticed that something was wrong with Rentaro, so he quietly leaned over and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Rentaro shook his head helplessly: "Most of the children here... I don't know them..."
“I didn’t have time to visit these children for a while because of some things… and now, I don’t recognize any of these children in front of me…”
Li Xiang understood what it meant in an instant.
Rentaro used to come here often to take care of everyone, but due to some things, he hasn't been here for a long time.
Now that he's back, the children here are no longer the children Rentaro knew.
...It is obvious.
The harsh reality was suffocating the two of them.
Li Xiang took a deep breath and forced himself to stay alert.
"Alright, Rentaro, cheer up! As a teacher, you can't look so listless!"
With Li Xiang's encouragement, Rentaro also cheered up again.
"Um! Let's become teachers together! (Sound!)"
"Huh? Me?"
"Of course! Didn't you say you wanted to get to know these children? Then the best way is to become a teacher with me! Come on, come on!"
"No! I've never been a teacher before, I can't do it!"
Seeing this, Li Xiang quickly hid behind Xi Sha, letting Xi Sha's small body block the evil Ren Taro.
"Hibiki, did you come here just to watch? To see me embarrass myself as a teacher? Besides, this is my first time teaching too!"
Then, with a speed beyond human limits, even faster than Li Xiang could see, Rentaro grabbed Li Xiang and dragged him toward the podium.
"No way! You locals from another world are so rude!"
"Hehehe—feel the despair of this world, you alien!"
Tendo Kisara, looking disgusted, covered her face at the very back. She really couldn't bear to lose face like this; how old was she, still acting like a child.
"Sigh, men, they're just so boring."
Chapter 58 Horii Technology!
[The 39th Ward of Tokyo, the Third Provisional Elementary School]
A sign made of wood had these words written on it.
"From today onwards, I am your teacher!"
Rentaro was wearing a suit, standing ramrod straight with a serious expression; he certainly looked like a teacher.
"My name is Rentaro Satomi."
"My interests include... observing insects and collecting plants! I also like things related to microorganisms..."
Rentaro mumbled his hobbies and interests as a way of greeting his classmates.
Perhaps it was because it was my first time being a teacher, so I was quite nervous and not in good form.
"Basically... I also know some fighting skills."
Rentaro looked at the students and then noticed that Tina, who was sitting on the corner wall, was starting to doze off.
"Um...do you have any questions for me?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the students, like a flock of birds startled, all raised their hands, wanting to ask questions.
Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "What a group of positive and motivated kids!"
Rentaro, on the other hand, became even more nervous, stammering and unsure of what to do.
"Satomi-sensei, do your best!" the old principal encouraged from the side.
"What are you afraid of? This is a request from the teacher, and you're the one who's next!" Tendo asked from the side.
"I know!"
Then, Rentaro had no other choice but to randomly pick a classmate.
"Alright... that student!"
The student whose name was called immediately stood up and asked Rentaro with a curious tone, "Teacher, I heard that you and Akane are living together with marriage in mind. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Xiang, who was listening to the lecture, twitched his lips and then shouted at Rentaro, "Rentaro! Do you know that your birth is illegal?!"
Upon hearing this question, the students began to chatter and make a ruckus, creating quite a scene.
"That's not true at all! Yeonjoo is just staying at my house temporarily!"
Seeing Li Xiang clench his fists, ready to rush over and attack him, Rentaro quickly began to explain.
But Li Xiang's body had already shot out and couldn't stop at all.
Upon seeing this, Rentaro immediately turned and ran.
And while running, he shouted to his classmates, "Okay, now we're getting a different teacher!"
Rentaro slipped off the stage, while Li Xiang happened to come up to the stage.
Li Xiang originally wanted to slip away quickly, but looking at the children below the stage...
"teacher……?"
Well, the innocent gazes of these children made it impossible for Li Xiang to slip away.
Li Xiang took a deep breath and then composed himself.
"My name is Li Xiang. I will now become your teacher and your friend!"
"My hobby is piloting fighter jets and traveling through space. I'm skilled in aircraft piloting, dogfighting, and shooting!"
"So, do you all have any questions for me?"
Meanwhile, Tendo Kisara and Rentaro were dumbfounded.
"Is this guy... really a first-time teacher? He's much better than you, Satomi!"
"Sigh... Compared to that, I'm more curious about what he meant by saying he likes to travel the universe?"
The students, too, seemed to have their curiosity ignited by Li Xiang's confidence.
Many raised their hands to ask questions.
"Teacher, Shisa is yours..."
"It's my little sister!"
"Teacher, teacher, what is space?"
"The universe is the home of the stars!"
"Teacher, are you really an airplane pilot? Is your airplane big?"
"Of course, the teacher wouldn't lie to everyone, my airplane is very, very big!"
The old principal, watching Li Xiang chatting humorously with the students on the podium, nodded with satisfaction.
Most of the teachers who come here don't actually teach these children much knowledge, because these children can only live to... so the old headmaster would rather see these children's happy smiles.
"Teacher! I've never seen an airplane before. Can you fly a plane over our heads sometime? I want to see a big airplane with my own eyes!"
"That's it..."
Faced with this question, Li Xiang fell into deep thought.
But soon, he figured it out!
These children's lives are slipping away, and life here is incredibly difficult.
But their wish was so simple.
I just wanted to catch a glimpse of the plane from afar.
Li Xiang wants to fulfill this child's wish so that these children can truly fly freely in the future!
Instead of being trapped in a prison called "The Cursed Sons" like this...
"Of course! And the teacher can show everyone the big airplane right now!"
Li Xiang answered affirmatively.
"Is the teacher real? Can we see the airplane now?"
"Of course, teachers never lie! Doesn't anyone believe their teachers?"
"...I don't believe it. Although the teacher is very nice, how could the teacher possibly conjure up an airplane right now?"
Not only the children, but also Rentaro and his companion on the other side did not believe it.
They probably just thought Li Xiang was telling these kids a white lie to make them happy.
"Don't believe me? Why shouldn't I believe you? If that's the case, then the teacher will just conjure up an airplane!"
Li Xiang is now even more determined to let these children see a real airplane.
"Come on, everyone line up. Let's go to a more open area, after all, the plane is very big!"
So Li Xiang led the children in a line, with the eldest sister Yan Zhu walking at the front, followed by Xi Sha, who was being pulled along by Yan Zhu.
Rentaro and Kisara Tendo also went along.
