“This is Teacher Fang Zheng, starting today, he will be responsible for your learning alongside me. Let's welcome him with a round of applause.”
“Clap clap clap…”
Chie Rumiko's reputation in the Hinamizawa branch school was obviously quite high. Just as her voice fell, students in the classroom immediately started clapping enthusiastically, while curiously looking at Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng also smiled and nodded at everyone while swiftly scanning the classroom.
Just like in the anime, there was only one class here, and the students in the class ranged from elementary to high school. After all, the number of students was too sparse, and with only Chie Rumiko as the teacher, it was not possible to split classes, so all the children were divided into one classroom, then taught separately. For Fang Zheng, this was also a very fresh experience. After all, he had been a person in two lives, and this was also the first time participating in a “rural teaching” activity.
It didn't take much effort for Fang Zheng to quickly find the main characters of “When the Cicadas Cry” in the class.
The boy with short hair and wearing a white shirt was Maehara Keiichi.
And sitting opposite him, with long green hair tied up in a ponytail, looking very cheerful and straightforward, was Sonozaki Mion.
The girl with brown short hair and wearing a white dress was Rena Ryuuguu.
Next was the tsundere loli with blonde hair, Satoko Hojo, and the little loli with black straight hair, Furutega Rika.
Sonozaki Shion is not here… which means… the story is still in the early stages now?
“Fang Zheng is my junior and also a very outstanding teacher. He will be responsible for teaching you mathematics and English. Moreover, Teacher Fang Zheng has just returned from studying abroad in America. I can guarantee that his English level is very good indeed.”
“Ohhh!”
Upon hearing this, the children looked at Fang Zheng with eager and curious expressions. After all, the story of “When the Cicadas Cry” took place in the eighties. At that time, there wasn't much in the way of developed news media or technology, and in a small village like Hinamizawa, they barely saw people from the city. Now, suddenly, they were meeting someone who had come back from studying overseas, which indeed made them excited and thrilled.
“Hello, my name is Fang Zheng.”
Seeing that the atmosphere had already warmed up, Fang Zheng stepped forward and greeted the children.
“I will be in charge of teaching everyone mathematics and English here; please give me your guidance. Also, I will be the school doctor and Psychological Consultant. If anyone has any troubles, you can come and talk to me. I am always open to listen.”
“School doctor? Ah, why isn't the school doctor a pretty woman in a white coat!”
Hearing this, Maehara Keiichi couldn't help but cry out while holding his head, while Rena Ryuuguu curiously tilted her head, looking at Fang Zheng.
“Teacher, what is a Psychological Consultant? What is it?”
“Simply put, it's to help resolve some psychological stress and burdens.”
In response to Rena Ryuuguu's inquiry, Fang Zheng smiled and explained.
“If you are worried or uneasy about something, you can come to me, and you can talk to me about anything. I can guarantee that this is a secret between you and me, and I won't tell a third person. This is the professional integrity of a Psychological Consultant.”
“Ohh, isn't this the psychologist that often appears in movies?”
Upon hearing this, Keiichi, who had just been holding his head and shouting, excitedly raised his head to look at Fang Zheng as if seeing the FBI in reality.
“It must be very expensive!”
“Psychological Consultants and psychologists are similar but not the same, student. And, I don't charge any money.”
As for Maehara Keiichi's reaction, Fang Zheng didn't mind. After all, Maehara Keiichi was a very “lively” guy in the original work, and honestly, it didn't seem like he had any psychological issues. However, Fang Zheng wasn't surprised by this at all; after all, it's the quiet ones who are the most scary when they get angry. The less the problems show on the surface, the bigger the issues that can come up. Look at Rena Ryuuguu and Maehara Keiichi, that's how it was. Instead, it was Sonozaki Mion, who was always tense and seemed likely to snap, that never darkened from start to finish, and in the end, was only driven to collapse by her sister.
After a brief self-introduction, Chie Rumiko began today's lessons. Fang Zheng didn't jump straight into teaching but followed Chie Rumiko, silently observing her teaching progress. Since Fang Zheng was new to the place and not fully aware of the student's progress, he didn't immediately interrupt but observed from the side.
Chie Rumiko knew what Fang Zheng was thinking, so after teaching, she would have Fang Zheng help tutor those students who hadn't fully grasped the knowledge. This wasn't difficult for Fang Zheng, so he quickly nodded in agreement to take on the task.
At first, those children were somewhat guarded around Fang Zheng, but of course, that wasn't an obstacle for him. Having been in management for so many years, he naturally knew how to win people's favor, and now his charm was at a C++ level. Soon enough, the kids relaxed their wariness of Fang Zheng, starting to find this new teacher handsome and humorous, and also very kind and approachable. He didn't seem nearly as scary as they had initially thought, which led many of them to change their opinions about him.
Of course, this was just a first impression. Fang Zheng hadn't learned any Enchantment School spells, so he naturally couldn't influence the children too much. In this world, he could only rely on the power of his own physical attributes. The only consolation was– the system defaulted the spells he learned in the Main World as his own power.
But for Fang Zheng, that was enough.
“Ding-ding-ding–”
The brief day quickly passed, and as the school bell rang, the children left the school one after another. Fang Zheng also stretched and let out a long sigh of relief.
“How was it? Your first day at school? Are you getting used to it?”
At this time, Chie Rumiko also walked up to Fang Zheng, smiling as she looked at him and asked. Facing Chie Rumiko's question, Fang Zheng nodded.
“Not bad, to be honest. After being in the big city for so long, this rural life is quite refreshing for me.”
“Maybe for someone who's just come from the city, but you'll find it dull after a while. After all, this is a village where there's nothing.”
As she spoke, Chie Rumiko waved her hand at Fang Zheng.
“Well then, I should be off… Do you need any help with anything?”
“No need to trouble yourself too much on my account.”
Since Hinamizawa was just a small village, naturally there were no spare houses for Fang Zheng to live in, so he stayed at the school. This was a good thing for Fang Zheng.
“Then, I'll be off.”
After seeing Chie Rumiko off, Fang Zheng returned to the school. Just as he stepped into the corridor, he quickly heard the sounds of frolicking from one of the classrooms.
Is it just like the anime, after all?
With this thought, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and then walked up to the classroom door and opened it. Sure enough, he saw Sonozaki Mion, Rena Ryuuguu, Furutega Rika, and Satoko Hojo sitting at a table, giggling as they watched Maehara Keiichi, whose face was pale and who was clutching the playing cards as if he were cursed, trembling.
“Devils… you all are devils…”
“What's going on? Why haven't you gone home yet?”
“Ah, Teacher Fang Zheng!”
Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, everyone hurriedly looked up at him, and then Rena Ryuuguu waved at him.
“We're holding a club activity.”
“A club activity?”
“Yes!”
With her green ponytail, Sonozaki Mion also cheerfully posed at Fang Zheng.
“This is our club that we formed to deal with the complexities and dangers of society. Please don't underestimate it, Teacher Fang Zheng…”
At this point, Mion seemed to think of something. She rolled her eyes and then revealed a sly smile.
“By the way, why don't you join us too, teacher?”
“Eh?”
