Tokyoites don't have martial virtue

"I never expected my situation after transmigrating to be so miserable. Fortunately, I'm more skilled," Kyushu Makoto sighed.

In fact, the real Makoto Kyushu committed suicide during Golden Week, and the current Makoto Kyushu is a time traveler who took his place.

His name is Chen Jiuzhou. He is a young martial artist who was born in the country of Yanhuang across the ocean. His hobbies are martial arts and studying law.

Chen Jiuzhou was abandoned on the streets by his parents when he was a child. Fortunately, a passing man took pity on him and kindly adopted him.

The man was a professional martial artist who claimed to have created a martial arts style called "Unrestricted Fighting Technique." Chen Jiuzhou learned martial arts from his adoptive father from a young age, and later traveled all over the country with his adoptive father, exchanging skills and techniques with various martial arts schools, learning many freestyle moves and miscellaneous styles.

"Unrestricted Fighting" is a modern street fighting style known for its simplicity and brutality. It lacks flashy techniques and profound traditions; its core philosophy can be summarized in just sixteen characters:

"Any means are acceptable, no matter what. All skills are acceptable, as long as they are legal."

As long as it can defeat the enemy, no matter how despicable the means, they must be used. However, under no circumstances should the bottom line of the law be crossed.

In addition, his adoptive father also warned him that their martial arts could only be used to punish evil and promote good, and to save lives and heal the wounded; they must never be used to be violent or to satisfy their own desires.

Thanks to his adoptive father's teachings, Chen Jiuzhou developed a strong sense of justice and a strong desire to do good from a young age. In his previous life, he died while doing something righteous, at the age of twenty-four.

Five days ago, he came to Tokyo alone for tourism and happened to be caught in a horrific shooting.

A thug was indiscriminately killing people in the street with a homemade shotgun, and the incident happened to occur in Akihabara's shopping district.

Akihabara, renowned as Tokyo's "pedestrian paradise," boasts consistently high foot traffic throughout the year. Besides local residents, hordes of foreign tourists flock there, their numbers sometimes even exceeding those of the locals. Just walking the streets, one can hear no fewer than a dozen languages.

Logically, shootings shouldn't occur in a gun-free country like Wano Country, so the people at the scene were completely terrified. Coupled with communication barriers caused by the large number of foreign tourists, the evacuation efforts were extremely poor. The police were also thrown into disarray and unable to provide timely assistance.

After rescuing a little girl whose face was grazed by shrapnel, Chen Jiuzhou watched helplessly as blood flowed like a river and cries of agony filled the commercial street. He recalled his adoptive father's admonition: "A martial artist should punish evildoers and save the world."

Taking advantage of the moment when the assailant was changing magazines, he pulled out a screwdriver he was carrying, rushed up and stabbed the assailant thirteen times, successfully subduing him and seizing his gun.

Just then, the police arrived in time, but mistook Chen Jiuzhou for the assailant. Without saying a word, they fired several shots at him, then rushed up and pressed his knee against his neck to arrest him.

But it wasn't until the officer handcuffed him that he realized the "suspect" beneath him had stopped breathing.

After that, Chen Jiuzhou transmigrated into the body of a Tokyo high school student who committed suicide on the same day.

Fortunately, he confirmed that he hadn't traveled to any parallel world. The Yellow Emperor was still the Yellow Emperor, and Wano Country was still Wano Country.

Even today, television stations continue to broadcast news about him. Eyewitnesses provided the media with video footage of the incident, proving that it was Chen Jiuzhou, a foreign tourist, who subdued the assailant and protected the crowd, but was ultimately shot and killed by the police.

This incident seems to have become an international topic. The media in Wano Country have been calling him the "Hero of the Solo Gun-Hunting Demon," praising his internationalist spirit, and taking the opportunity to angrily criticize the incompetence of the Tokyo police.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also held a press conference overnight, where a group of elderly officers stood in a row like hostesses at a club, bowing and apologizing, their conversation revolving around "red bean paste, private Marseille".

I heard that someone even erected a monument for Chen Jiuzhou in Akihabara, and several politicians went to pay their respects in a pretentious manner.

However, these farces have nothing to do with him now. He has changed bodies, and even if he suddenly jumped out and claimed to be the "reincarnation" of Chen Jiuzhou, he would most likely be regarded as a madman.

After digesting the original owner's memories, he learned that the boy's name was Kyushu Makoto, and that his background was extremely tragic.

Family misfortune, school violence, loneliness... His parents disappeared without leaving any inheritance, and no relatives were willing to help him, making his life increasingly difficult.

Makoto Kyushu was a second-year student whose dream was to get into a prestigious university like the University of Tokyo or the University of Tsukuba, escape poverty, and not become a useless person like his parents. But he ultimately couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide.

Despite the irony of his past life's ending and the fact that he had transmigrated into the body of such a pathetic kid, Chen Jiuzhou did not regret his decision.

He died saving lives, upholding his martial ethics. He defeated an armed assailant with his bare hands, proving his skill was superb and that he had not disgraced his school.

He felt honored about his fate, but also had many regrets.

He regretted dying too young, unable to repay his adoptive father, and unable to carry on his adoptive father's martial arts tradition. He also failed to use martial arts to help more people and become a great martial artist like his adoptive father.

Therefore, being reborn was an incredible opportunity for him.

Even if things have changed and he can't return to his hometown, he will continue the unfinished martial arts career and make his master's martial arts famous throughout the world.

"It seems like it's really hard to get into the universities in Wano Country. Besides, I already went to university in Yanhuang in my previous life. After graduating from Xiujin Academy, why don't I just open a martial arts school in Tokyo? Later, I can go back to my country as a martial arts master to find my master and help him live out his days in peace." This was the life goal he set for himself after transmigrating.

Of course, this path will likely be difficult. Until he comes up with a plan for the future, he should first enjoy high school life and adjust to his new routine.

"Jingle Bell--"

The school bell rang, and Kyushu Makoto left the restroom to prepare for class in the classroom.

He prides himself on not being a bad person and usually prefers to adopt a refined and approachable demeanor. However, when facing a bad person, he must become more ruthless than the bad person.

This was a set of ironclad rules for conduct that he had learned from his adoptive father in his previous life.

After Kyushu Makoto entered the classroom, the students lost their previous arrogance and turned their heads away, not daring to look at him.

The chubby Tang Ze walked up to him with a sly grin, like a messenger eunuch: "Brother Jiu... Jiuzhou, we've already relayed your message."

“Well done,” Kyushu Makoto lectured. “But just call me classmate. Don’t call me big brother, it makes it sound like I’m some kind of gangster.”

"I'm sorry, Kyushu-kun!" Tang Zegui bowed and scraped repeatedly.

Wano Country is a country with a strict social hierarchy, and the prevailing ideology is "might makes right" and "bullying the weak and fearing the strong." Most of those so-called "troublemakers" just deserve a beating.

Unfortunately, very few people actually dare to throw a punch.

Just as Kyushu Makoto was about to return to his seat, Karasawa Kishou leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Kyushu, I have something very important to tell you. Could we talk somewhere quiet at noon?"

"what's up?"

"Actually... Ms. Jiang Niao knew all along that we were bullying you, but she pretended not to know and even encouraged us to continue bullying you."

04. Teacher or supervisor, that is the question.

Ms. Etori's full name is "Etori Yukiko". She is the teacher in charge of Class 2-2, which is the homeroom teacher. However, many boys in puberty would prefer her to be a "supervisor" or "teaching assistant".

Although Xiujin Private Academy is only a low-end private school, it has begun sweeping reforms since the change of chairman two years ago, striving to transform it into a key high school for college entrance exams.

Makoto Kyushu was actually a special student admitted to the school with a full scholarship. The purpose was to use hardworking and ambitious students from poor families like him to improve the campus atmosphere and set an example for other students.

In this private school that was in dire need of rebuilding, Teacher Jiangniao happened to be a young teacher who was ambitious, proactive, and highly regarded by the entire school.

The class she managed was rated as "Super Class One" for two consecutive years, meaning that it ranked first in the grade in a series of evaluations, including exam scores, attendance, discipline ratings, and club participation.

It is said that she has already received special attention from the chairman of the board, and next year she is expected to break the traditional "seniority-based" workplace order and become the youngest teaching director in the school's history.

Moreover, she is very popular among students, and can be regarded as the perfect goddess in the eyes of boys and the role model admired by girls.

If someone were to say that such an excellent teacher would condone school bullying, everyone would surely think that this is just some unhappy person spreading rumors and slander.

"Please explain in detail, tell me the details!" During lunch break, Kyushu Makoto called the three rogues up to the rooftop to inquire about the matter.

Tang Zegui carefully scanned his surroundings, and only after confirming that there was no fifth person on the rooftop did he whisper:

"Actually, there was a time before when we asked you for a 'friendship fee,' and Teacher Jiangniao happened to find out."

Kyushu Makoto took a bite of rice, thought carefully for a moment, and remembered that it was indeed true.

"I almost forgot about it. You guys seem to have asked me for money a few times, and even made me run errands for you, like buying milk," Kyushu Makoto said pettily.

“You must return all the money to me tomorrow, not a single penny less.”

"Of course... we'll pay it back!" Suzuki Yuuji quickly put his grilled meat into Kyushu Makoto's bowl, afraid of upsetting him. "And we'll go buy you the whole set of criminal law books after school today!"

"Then please keep your word." Kyushu Makoto finished his grilled meat without ceremony and instructed, "Tang Ze, continue."

"Slurp~ And then that time, actually, Ms. Jiang Niao just happened to be passing by the classroom door and saw us." Tang Zegui slurped up a mouthful of udon noodles and mumbled:

"We were terrified and ran out to argue with the teacher... to explain! But Ms. Jiang Niao just smiled and told us that she would turn a blind eye."

Kyushu Makoto put down his lunchbox, glared at him, and asked, "Why? She's an excellent teacher. What good will this do her?"

"Hmph, because all she cares about is the class grade. As long as no one dies in the class, she doesn't care what happens." Takatsuki Genji couldn't stand it anymore and snorted coldly, saying in a gloomy tone:

"You guys were all completely fooled by that woman, thinking she was some kind of goddess teacher~"

“Brother Yuan didn’t lie.” Suzuki Yujin twirled his blond bangs and nodded in agreement: “Ms. Jiang Niao told us that as long as we attend classes on time every day, are officially enrolled in a club, and pass all subjects in the monthly exams, she won’t report us… because she’s worried that we problem students will lower the class’s overall score, so she’s using this to blackmail us.”

"So, in order to maintain the class's rating, the teacher is willing to use me as a scapegoat?" Kyushu Makoto glared, then roared angrily, "Damn it, how can there be such a teacher in the world?!"

"Jiuzhou, please calm down!" Tang Zegui was startled, his fat face jiggling. "We've told you everything! We'll never bully you again, please forgive us!"

Kyushu Makoto smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on them: "Of course~ as long as you swear to be good students and stop bullying people in the future, I will naturally forgive you."

Hearing Kyushu Makoto's promise, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had already experienced Kyushu Makoto's cruelty that morning, and their wounds were still throbbing. They had also witnessed Kyushu Makoto using a video to intimidate the entire class. Who would dare to provoke this ruthless devil again?

“But based solely on your side of the story, I cannot convict Ms. Jiangniao. I cannot retaliate against her without concrete evidence; that would be too arbitrary.” Kyushu Makoto stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"So I'm going to set a trap, and I need the three of you to cooperate. If Ms. Jiangniao is innocent, she won't fall for it, and I won't make things difficult for her. But if she does fall for it, then you'd better wash your necks and wait!"

"Hey, are you going to lay a hand on the teacher?" Even the most composed Genji Takatsuki was startled, frowning: "You really have a lot of nerve!"

Kyushu Makoto smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I've always respected my teachers and know my limits. The premise is that she's worthy of the title 'teacher'."

……

The school bell rang, and everyone returned to the classroom.

The first class in the afternoon was Ms. Jiangniao's Chinese class, and Kyushu Makoto finally met this "Goddess Teacher Xiujin".

Ms. Jiangniao was young and beautiful, with an oval face and a single braid styled into a side ponytail, which her students might jokingly call "the dangerous hairstyle of a lady." Her eyes were as gentle and clear as a spring in a snow-capped mountain, and her movements as she organized her lesson plans were swift, efficient, and skillful.

Ms. Jiangniao's class was the most popular in the whole class. Her voice was indifferent yet somewhat ethereal, and her teaching style was not rigid. Even Kyushu Makoto, a transmigrator who had graduated from university, admired her.

When class ended, Kyushu Makoto left his seat, intending to talk to Ms. Etori and test her.

But when Teacher Jiangniao saw him, she waved to him as if she had something to say.

"Hello, Kyushu-kun~" Teacher Jiangniao and Kyushu Makoto came to the classroom and said with a smile, "I was just about to talk to you."
