Is This How You Treat a Teacher?
Yu Muqiu's memories flashed by, revealing the reasons behind their separation.
Then Yu Muqiu looked up at the blue sky outside the corridor and murmured to himself:
"I have a feeling... Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun are hiding something from me..."
As Xiao Qiu was reminiscing, she suddenly heard the voices of her classmates passing by in the distance.
They were two first-grade girls.
"... Hey... did you hear?" the girl on the left, still wearing her summer school uniform and short skirt, said to her companion.
"A new teacher came to the class next door."
The girl on the right, who had already changed into her autumn school uniform, with a long skirt covering her lower body, asked in surprise:
"A new teacher? What does that have to do with us?"
"I heard she's a substitute teacher for Federationese, so of course it's related to us... but that's not the point. The point is, I heard this new teacher is quite pretty."
Two girls walked past Yu Muqiu, talking quietly to each other.
Yu Muqiu bit the straw, drank the remaining milk, and blinked.
A new teacher for first grade? That doesn't seem to concern her.
Just as she was about to get up, she heard the two girls continue:
"... I heard the new teacher has silver hair, and doesn't look much older than us..."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Hmm? Silver hair?
Upon hearing this, Yu Muqiu couldn't help but turn to look at the two girls.
Suddenly, the two girls stopped and loudly greeted someone inside the teaching building:
Hello, teacher!
Hello, Teacher Yuan!
The figure was obscured by two girls, so Yu Muqiu couldn't see who it was, but the glimpse of silver hair made Yu Muqiu squint.
She slurped up the last of her milk, tilting her head to try and see the person who was being blocked by the two girls.
But then she heard a voice that was incredibly familiar to her:
"Hello."
A cool, clear voice greeted the two girls, and then the figure walked past them.
This also allowed Yu Muqiu to meet the new 'teacher'.
Her long silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, shimmering faintly in the sunlight streaming through the corridor.
Her jewel-like red eyes were hidden beneath a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, slightly detracting from the beauty of her face but adding a touch of intellectual charm.
In this close-up, Yu Muqiu saw the person's entire body, and at the same time, she finally couldn't hold back and sprayed the milk out of her mouth:
"Pfft--!! Xiao Bai!?"
Xiao Bai got splashed with milk on the corner of her clothes:
"..."
The scene fell silent, broken only by the chirping of birds.
The opening theme plays simultaneously.
(Hahaha! You scared Xiao Qiu!)
(This is hilarious! I've been looking forward to this since yesterday, and it didn't disappoint!)
(Looking at Xiao Bai's expression, although it seems like nothing has changed, her eyes are almost filled with disgust.)
(Take two more steps forward, and the milk won't just spray onto her clothes, but all over her body... However, Xiao Bai is covered in milk... Ouch!)
(Stop daydreaming!)
(But this could be published!)
(www. A yuri doujinshi? That's awesome! www)
"What utter nonsense! These people are really something! I didn't mean to spew that out!"
Upon seeing the comments in the sky, Yu Muqiu's face turned bright red, and she complained to the Sky Screen at the same time.
Hearing Yu Muqiu's complaints, Xiao Chun blushed slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
She had read some doujinshi before, though not intentionally. She only occasionally glanced at a few while managing the Magical Girl Website and reading people's comments.
Of course, those comments that posted links to the doujinshi had already been deleted and the users banned by Xiao Chun.
At the time, Xiao Chun considered doujinshi to be utterly shameless, especially those that depicted her and her companions, those Magical Girls doujinshi, which infuriated Xiao Chun even more.
What's even more infuriating is that some of the male protagonists in these stories are even Fang Ming, and a womanizing Fang Ming at that!
This Fang Ming is nothing like the real person!
That's what Xiao Chun was thinking at the time.
But now, Xiao Chun wants to find some fan comics related to 'Xiao Bai'.
Well... it's not that she wanted to see it; she was just a little curious.
Right.
I was just curious.
Chapter 101 Is this how you treat a teacher?
[OP ends.]
During break, Yu Muqiu, who had reunited with Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun, told her two classmates about seeing Xiao Bai.
The most surprised was Chen Xiaoxia:
"What?! She's a teacher?! She... she doesn't look that much older than us! How did she become a teacher?!"
Chen Xiaoxia certainly didn't look down on Xiao Bai; she just felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to bow down to Xiao Bai and respectfully say "Chen Xiaoxia, teacher" to her.
Even in her fantasy, she was kneeling on the ground, head bowed, her face full of resentment, while Xiao Bai stood beside her, holding a fan in one hand, laughing wildly with an arrogant expression.
"Stop daydreaming..." Xiao Chun swatted away Chen Xiaoxia's fantasy from her head and analyzed:
"Spring City High School is a top-tier high school, after all. Anyone who can teach here must be absolutely qualified in terms of teaching skills. Perhaps... Xiao Bai's real age is much older than ours."
"But why did Xiao Bai want to become a teacher at our school?" Yu Muqiu asked, puzzled.
Xiao Chun thought about it carefully and said:
"Perhaps it's because of the Pencil Monster incident."
"Does that guy already know who the mastermind is?!" Chen Xiaoxia asked in surprise.
Xiao Chun shook her head. "No, it's precisely because she doesn't know that she came to the school to investigate. Compared to being a student with many restrictions, being a teacher is undoubtedly more suitable and free, especially since she's a substitute teacher."
Xiao Chun's analysis is very accurate.
While students may fit the image of Xiao Bai, they often face limitations in school.
There are places they can't go, times they can't leave, and if any unexpected situation arises, they must ask their teachers for leave.
When the Demons appeared last semester, Yu Muqiu often used the excuse of "going to the toilet" to run away.
Their homeroom teacher was worried that Yu Muqiu might be unwell, and even went to see Uncle Yu and his family to ask them to take good care of her.
But when the hospital found out that Yu Muqiu was perfectly fine...
Well, I won't go into Yu Muqiu's tragic situation for now, but in short, it's certain that being a student is no freer than being a teacher.
Therefore, since Xiao Bai had the opportunity, it makes sense that she chose to enter the school as a teacher to conduct the investigation.
"But why go to Dongdong's class? Why not come to our class?"
Yu Muqiu raised the question again.
"It's probably because... Dongdong's homeroom teacher happened to be injured and hospitalized..."
Xiao Chun made a guess after some hesitation.
In the teachers' office, only Dongdong's homeroom teacher was injured, which is also a point of suspicion.
Since Xiao Bai came to the school to investigate, he naturally went wherever was suspicious.
Chen Xiaoxia complained, "It's a good thing she's not in our class, otherwise I wouldn't know how to address her after I saw her!"
The three of them wanted to continue their discussion, but they had to stop because the class bell rang and return to their seats.
The three of them initially thought that Xiao Bai's arrival at the school to teach was just a side story.
But unexpectedly--
"I have something to tell you all."
As soon as Xiao Qiu's homeroom teacher entered, she announced to the students in the class:
"Ms. Wang, who teaches Federationese to first graders, is currently in the hospital due to an accident. Therefore, the teaching plan has been adjusted. From now on, the Federationese classes for first and second graders will be taught by Ms. Yuan, the new first-grade teacher."
Just as the homeroom teacher, Ms. Wei, said this, Xiao Bai, carrying her lesson plan, walked in from outside. She nodded to Ms. Wei, who nodded back, and then turned to continue addressing the group:
"That's all I have to say. Ms. Yuan is a new teacher. Although she's young, her teaching skills are better than most of the older teachers. You'd better listen to her. If I find out any of you are disobedient..."
Teacher Wei, holding the chalk in her hand, laughed, "I wouldn't mind turning your so-called 'Finger-Flick Technique' into a real 'Finger-Flick Technique'."
"!"
Upon seeing the chalk stub that Teacher Wei had crushed, the students shuddered and immediately sat up straight, adopting a well-behaved posture.
After saying that, Teacher Wei turned to Xiao Bai and said, "Then it's up to you now, Teacher Yuan."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wei."
Xiao Bai smiled and said to Teacher Wei.
Chen Xiaoxia, who witnessed this scene, was utterly astonished.
So this guy... can actually laugh!
(Xiao Bai's smile... I'm all better!)
(Teacher Wei is quite responsible and takes good care of Xiao Bai.)
(wwwww This smile looks so formulaic, don't get too excited!)
(What's wrong with a formulaic smile! At least you're smiling!)
Xiao Bai, who rarely smiles and whose smiles are barely more than two pixels wide, still managed to generate a lot of buzz in the comments section, even with his formulaic fake smile.
After learning who the person was, Xiao Chun saw Xiao Bai's smile again, but with a hint of contemplation.
"I always feel like Xiao Bai doesn't dislike smiling, but rather she's not quite sure how to smile in this situation..."
Xiao Chun thought to herself.
Yu Muqiu, standing nearby, remarked with a sigh, "If Xiaoxia were here, she'd probably be complaining along with her reflection in the Sky Screen."
"By the way, Xiaoxia alright?"
"It's nothing. I heard she ate green peppers, which she hates, for two meals in a row last night and this morning. She's secretly having a special meal with her dad at home now... Hmm, that's what she said on the phone just now."
Hearing Yu Muqiu's explanation, Xiao Chun couldn't help but laugh:
"Pfft, how did we end up on the same side as Uncle Chen?"
"That's unclear."
Yu Muqiu shook his head.
However, it seems that, just like before, when Chen Xiaoxia and her father were having a physical altercation at home, she was punished by the true "head of the family," Chen Xiaoxia's mother.
That's probably why they were both punished together, and then secretly received extra treatment the next day.
First, Xiao Chun secretly left during school hours, and now it's Xiaoxia...
It seems that, apart from Yu Muqiu, none of these Magical Girls have ever seriously gone to school.
