Tokyoites don't have martial virtue

People like Teacher Jiangniao can be considered a scourge to this school and even the entire education sector.

Teacher Jiang Niao struggled to pick up the water cup, took a sip, and then dropped it on the ground with a tremor.

"oops..."

Hearing Ms. Etori's soft moan and the dull thud of the water glass falling to the ground, Kyushu Makoto turned back to help her put the water glass away.

Teacher Jiangniao seemed to be completely exhausted, lying motionless on the bed, occasionally muttering a few words softly.

"I'm leaving. Get some rest," Kyushu Makoto casually instructed as he opened the door.

Suddenly, he heard Teacher Jiang Niao shouting loudly, seemingly out of his mind:

"It hurts! It hurts so much! Why do I have to suffer like this!"

Teacher Jiangniao's wounds from being beaten by extortionists a few days ago hadn't healed yet, and as expected, the wounds started to flare up again after drinking.

"Drinking while injured, no wonder it hurts~" Kyushu Makoto snorted and ignored her.

"It's all Kyushu Makoto's fault! He's a demon! A demon!" Teacher Jiangiao continued to shout like a drunkard:

"You are all demons! You minors are all demons! Scum! I hate you the most! You all should die!"

Kyushu Makoto, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly stopped and his expression became serious.

He decisively took out his phone, turned on the record button, and quietly stood at the door.

"Waaaaah... Why?! You're all underage scum... You deserve my revenge! I can't take it anymore! Just seeing you makes me want to vomit! Waaaaah... Why did you do this to her?! You all deserve to die!"

Teacher Jiangniao seemed to be thinking about something painful, and was still acting drunk in a half-asleep, half-awake state.

After struggling a few more times, she finally collapsed onto the bed and lay motionless, seemingly fast asleep.

Kyushu Makoto stared blankly for a while before closing the door and silently leaving his teacher's house.

"I initially thought you were just a snob teacher, but is that really what you think?"

On his way home, Kyushu Makoto played back the recording on his phone, his gaze gradually becoming deep:

"You are more dangerous than I thought. I can no longer have any expectations of you."

75. You should resign!

Monday morning, the second-year faculty office at Xiujin Academy

"Teacher Jiangniao, that's great! You're really alright! Why did you suddenly disappear on Saturday night?!"

The female teacher rushed over anxiously to find Teacher Jiangniao, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that she was safe and sound.

"Thank goodness you answered my call yesterday, otherwise I would have called the police!"

"Oh, I'm really sorry." Teacher Jiangniao also looked bewildered.

She seemed to have blacked out on Saturday night, and couldn't remember anything that happened. She only vaguely remembered that someone took her home and thoughtfully poured her water and covered her with a blanket.

Thinking about it this way, a sense of panic welled up in her heart.

"Did another teacher take me home?" Teacher Jiangniao was eager to know the answer.

After school, Kyushu Makoto took the initiative to come to the office and find Etori-sensei.

"Kyushu-kun?" Ms. Jiangiao asked somewhat timidly, "Is there something you need?"

Seeing that there were no other teachers in the office, Kyushu Makoto casually sat down on the desk and calmly said:

"I took you home that night. I couldn't bear to see you so drunk."

"Eh?!" Teacher Jiangniao leaned back in surprise: "Um, it was Kyushu who took me home?"

But then I thought about it again. Kyushu Makoto lives in Shinjuku, and the izakaya where the teachers gathered is only a few blocks away from Kamurocho's red-light district, so it's not impossible for the two of them to meet.

"Well... thank you so much, Kyushu-kun." Teacher Jiangiao could only nod slightly and thank him reluctantly.

At least this reduced the panic in Teacher Jiangniao's heart considerably.

"Wait a minute, Edogori Shigenori." Kyushu Makoto sighed, took out his phone, and played a recording: "Does this sentence sound familiar?"

[All minors are demons! Scum! I will take revenge on you!]

Upon hearing her own voice coming from the phone, Teacher Jiangniao's eyes gradually changed from calm to fear.

"These are the drunken words you uttered after I took you home yesterday." Kyushu Makoto put away his phone after playing the recording.

"Alcohol is a neurodepressant that can significantly reduce a person's self-control, so it is very difficult for a person to hide their inner thoughts when they are drunk."

"This, this is..." Teacher Jiangniao huddled in the chair, inexplicably starting to tremble.

"You're not allowed to argue with me?" Kyushu Makoto looked calmly at Etori-sensei, but a wolf-like madness gleamed in his dark eyes:

"Aren't you even willing to offer a single defense for yourself, you unethical teacher?"

"..." Teacher Jiangniao was clearly frightened. She covered her face without saying a word and curled up in the chair.

After a long pause, she pleaded, her voice trembling like a candle in the wind, "Please... don't tell anyone... please..."

"Do you think begging for mercy will do me any good?" Kyushu Makoto said coldly.

"I initially thought you were just a snobbish teacher, so I wanted to reform you and make you repent..."

"But since you hold such terrible views, I can no longer allow you to be a teacher!"

"Um..." Teacher Jiangniao was startled by his words and asked tremblingly, "You... what do you want?"

Kyushu Makoto took a deep breath and stared at her as he said:

“I don’t believe I have the ability to make an adult who has already formed a complete set of values ​​repent and reform. So for adults like you who have committed unforgivable crimes, prison is the place you should go.”

"Kyushu-kun...you're going to send me to prison?" Jiangniao-sensei panicked completely, her eyes lifeless. "No...please..."

"With so much evidence in my hands, even if I can't send you to prison, I can still ruin your reputation and make you live a life of contempt for others!" Kyushu Makoto sneered, threateningly.

"But doing this would be a bit of a loss. You've hurt me so badly before, I should at least get some interest back."

"For the next two years, you must obey my orders completely and dedicate your life to serving students. When I graduate, you must resign and never set foot in the education industry again!"

Kyushu Makoto's words left Etori-sensei feeling utterly hopeless. For a moment, she couldn't even tell whether she was the teacher or the student being reprimanded.

Seeing this, Kyushu Sei added fuel to the fire, his voice booming like a bell, shaking the very soul:

"If you can't do it, I'll expose all the evidence I have and instantly turn you into a social outcast! Come on, you choose one!"

"Waaah..." Teacher Jiangniao covered her head in fright, shrinking back like an ostrich to avoid the danger.

"Please...please, don't tell anyone about this...please, anything is fine..."

"So you chose the first one then?" Kyushu Makoto snorted coldly and gently patted her cheek.

"So for the next two years, you'd better behave like a dog and then resign, understand?"

"I understand..." Teacher Jiangniao felt as if she had fallen into a cold cave, and she trembled with fear.

The atmosphere in the office was slightly quiet for a moment. After Ms. Jiangiao's emotions had calmed down a bit, Kyushu Makoto asked again:

"I heard you used to be a very enthusiastic teacher... This is the second teacher I've heard say that about you."

"...Hehe...Everyone likes to say that, let them do whatever they want..." Teacher Jiangniao just stood there in her seat, her eyes so vacant they looked completely broken, like a salted fish who had given up on life.

"I heard that during your first year teaching at Xiujin Academy, a student dropped out, and you were very sad about it," Kyushu Makoto asked again.

"So what exactly happened? Was that student also killed because of you?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Jiangniao reflexively shook her head, revealing an expression of pain that seemed to be on the verge of tears.

"No! It wasn't me! I wanted to protect her! It's all because of you...you're the ones who hurt her..."

"What do you mean?" Kyushu Makoto immediately became suspicious: "Explain yourself more clearly."

“…No…that…it’s just this…I don’t want to talk about it…” Teacher Jiangniao seemed to hate this topic, and just bit her lip and said it softly.

"Hmph, I don't care~" Kyushu Makoto snorted and patted her shoulder:

"No matter what your reasons are, I will not forgive you, nor will I change the fact that you are a 'moral teacher.' For the next two years, live each day in fear!"

After giving his instructions, Kyushu Makoto turned and left the office, casually making a phone call to Karasukawa-senpai:

"Senior, when you worked in the journalism department, did you hear about what happened in previous years?"

“...Yes, the class three years ago, the year before you enrolled, was taught by Teacher Jiangniao. One student voluntarily dropped out.”

"Hey, you've heard of it? Oh, that's great! Could you come over tomorrow at noon and we can talk?"

76. The Mysteriously Vanished Child

The next day at noon, Makoto Kyushu and his senior, Karasukawa, met in an empty classroom.

"The student you're looking for is called 'Ozawa Fuyu,' she's a year ahead of me." Karasu Saki opened a file and pointed to a photo of a slightly chubby girl in Class 2 of the third year.

"She dropped out of school in the middle of her senior year fall semester...ostensibly it was a voluntary withdrawal," Karasuka Sakifumi said in one breath.

"Her family is fairly well-off; they seem to be nouveau riche, having made a small fortune a few years ago. Her academic performance is below average; she belongs to the brass band but is only a backup. She doesn't have any disciplinary records and has her own social circle. She's a decent, unremarkable student."

"Who told you all this information?" Kyushu Makoto asked.

“Of course it’s the former club president, Adachi-senpai…” Karasukawa Sakifumi started to say, then suddenly hesitated and changed her words, “No… although I used to respect him a lot, someone like him really shouldn’t be called ‘senpai’…”
