Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

"Hey, Jiangye, I heard a new teacher is coming today!"

Volume 1: Chapter 480. Nishimiya Shoko: Takeshi Yagami, the teacher, has come to my side.

480. Nishimiya Shoko: Takeshi Yagami, the teacher of Yagami, has come to my side.

An ordinary world, ordinary neon lights, an ordinary primary school.

In this ordinary place, the days are always ordinary and mundane, but recently there have been some ups and downs that have given the students in the school, especially those in a certain class, a sense of novelty and imagination.

"Hey, did you hear? Shoya, a new teacher is transferring here today? And it seems like she'll be assigned to our class. I wonder what kind of person she is?"

Poke.

Early in the morning, before the first class even started, students in their own small groups had already gathered together, chatting noisily in twos and threes.

"A new teacher?" Ishida Shoya curled his lip in boredom, clearly not very interested. "What's so interesting about that? It's not as interesting as the meteorite and comet incident a while ago."

"You mean the matter of the two meteorites?"

Naoka Ueno, a young sixth-grader who was watching Ishida Shoya closely, approached him with great interest.

"The news says they still haven't found the meteorite from that time, right? That's so strange. Could it be that the comet that fell was actually ice that has melted away?"

As soon as this was mentioned, other students nearby gathered around, none of them wanting to be left out.

Because this is really interesting. Although we've discussed it many times before, we've never come to any conclusion.

These kinds of "strange events" are more interesting to children than any toy.

"Impossible!" a chubby boy shouted. "If it were ice, the impact area wouldn't be that big. Besides, the news report said that no water was found after measurement. They checked that very night. Even if it melted, the water wouldn't dry completely so quickly."

Another girl suggested, "Could it be that an alien spaceship crashed on Earth, and the authorities have actually recovered the aliens and the spaceship, but they're not going to announce it?"

"No way, I heard my dad say that if that were true, there would definitely be a war by now, because everyone wants aliens and spaceships, but there hasn't been a war at all."

"But it's very unusual, isn't it?"

"Hmm, this doesn't look unusual at all. What could it be?"

"Is it possible that it was actually the Predator and the Xenomorph? Look, although they fell in different places, the ground was smashed through them, and nothing was found, but those two meteorites fell at the same time. If it was the Predator and the Xenomorph, those arch-enemies, then there would be no problem, right?"

"You've watched too many horror movies, you idiot."

"Then what do you say it is?"

"I do not know."

A group of children were chattering away, excitedly discussing the hottest topic in the world recently, completely engrossed in it.

Nishimiya Shoko, standing to the side, stared eagerly at them, then scribbled something in her notebook on the table, expressing her conjecture. She held it up to show everyone, wanting to join in the fun.

But no one paid any attention to her, and no one looked at what was written in her notebook.

Nishimiya Shoko's arm ached from holding the notebook up, and she had to put it down, feeling a little dejected.

The children couldn't reach a conclusion after arguing about the meteorite, and eventually returned to the topic of the new teacher.

"Do you think the new teacher won't assign homework, and the test questions will be easy? That way we can play more, and maybe we can even get a perfect score. When we show it to our parents, they'll definitely buy us a cake!"

“You’re dreaming,” Naoka Ueno said, looking at Shoya Ishida. “Where’s Shoya?”

"As for me... well, as long as the new teacher's voice isn't some kind of weird scream like 'woo-wa-ga-la-ah-woo-ao', that's fine~"

As Ishida Shoya spoke, he made a funny face and deliberately moved closer to Nishimiya Shoko, who sat at the table in front of him, making gibberish noises that made all the students burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Almost everyone was laughing.

Nishimiya Shoko also heard and saw these commotions, and her expression became even more strained, but she still managed to give Ishida Shoya a somewhat forced, kind look, like a kind little deer.

"Tch, boring."

Ishida clicked his tongue. He didn't want this reaction. He had no idea what this guy was pretending to be.

"Ring ring—"

Just as he was thinking about his next prank, the school bell rang. The students, who were still quite afraid of their teachers at that age, all consciously returned to their seats and waited for the teacher to start class.

Inside and outside the now quiet classroom, two sets of footsteps began to slowly approach.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet."

The first person to enter was a teacher whose footsteps were very lazy, and whose entire demeanor was indeed lazy, appearing indifferent and uncaring about everything. This teacher was also the homeroom teacher of the class.

Ms. Takeuchi walked to the podium looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and gestured for everyone to look at the door: "Many of you have probably already heard that a new teacher will be transferring to our school today, and today's first class will also be the new teacher's class."

A new teacher?

Everyone instinctively looked towards the door, even Ishida Shoya, who had initially claimed not to care at all.

"Alright, Mr. Yato Takeshi, come in. The rest is up to you."

Throughout the entire process, Takeuchi, the homeroom teacher, appeared relaxed, lazy, and unwilling to do anything. After finishing her speech, she left the classroom directly, leaving Yato Takeshi, who was standing outside the door, wanting to say something but holding back.

However, considering that adults should be role models for children and should avoid any potential conflicts in front of them, Yashiro didn't say anything for the time being. Instead, he entered the classroom with a very energetic stride and took over the position standing on the podium.

He turned around, picked up the chalk, and wrote a line on the blackboard neatly and efficiently.

"I am Takeshi Ya, who is in charge of science. The previous teacher went home to prepare for pregnancy, so from today onwards, I will be your new teacher. Please take good care of me."

Yashiro turned around, looked at the energetic children below, smiled, and showed his most spirited side. Of course, he was really full of energy right now.

"I'm a new teacher, and you are my first batch of students. So, there might be things I don't do well enough. If there's anything I haven't done well, please point it out. I will definitely try my best to correct it and become an excellent teacher that everyone likes!"

Huh?!

The students were all astonished.

"Please give me your guidance" can be considered a classic polite phrase, but how could someone actually say something like the following?

This is the first time they've seen a teacher like this. Are these words really true?

"Teacher!" Naoka Ueno was the first to ask, "Teacher, are you telling the truth? You're not just lying to a child?"

“Yes, of course,” Yato Takeshi nodded very seriously. “If even adults can’t stand by what they say, how can they teach students well? Don’t be so polite!”

"So, teacher, what did you write on the blackboard?"

"This? Ah, this is my motto."

Yato Takeshi smiled brightly, pointed to the words "Life's Dedication" he had written on the blackboard, and began to explain in detail, "I believe that everyone should have a dream that they dedicate their entire life to achieving."

"But when people are on their way to their dreams, they always go through a long and bumpy road. There are no shortcuts."

"To achieve this great goal and realize this great dream, this person must start from where he is now and what he is doing now, and devote his greatest efforts to the direction he loves."

"A person with dreams will find every day meaningful and colorful. Even if they fail, they will always leave behind beautiful memories, which will become treasures that support them throughout their lives."

"So I hope that every student can find their own dreams and goals, but there's no need to rush. Of course, this isn't homework; it's just my wish as a teacher, so there's no need for anyone to feel pressured."

Yato Takeshi knew that these words might be difficult for sixth-grade students to grasp in a tangible way.

However, isn't it the duty and expectation of a teacher to plant a small seed and hope that it will one day take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree?

"what!"

Ishida Shoya suddenly let out a strange cry.

Yagami looked at him and asked patiently, "What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"

“No, no, no,” Ishida Shouya shook his head.

He frowned as soon as he saw the new teacher, because he felt a sense of déjà vu. As the new teacher talked more and more, his sense of déjà vu became stronger and stronger.

Until now, he finally suddenly realized something and understood.

"Teacher, your name and your appearance are just like the teacher in Ultraman Ace! They're practically identical!"

"Eh?"

"Now that you mention it, it really is..."

"That explains why I also found it a bit strange!"

"The teacher's motto must have been copied from Edison's teacher!"

When Ishida Shouya yelled, several other students immediately made the connection and started talking all at once, catching Yato Takeshi off guard.

He arrived in this world after being swept away by an explosion and ambushed by Dark Sparks, a peaceful and ordinary planet without aliens or monsters, after drifting for a while.

Although his powers have been sealed by the Dark Spark, leaving him unable to use even a tiny bit of Ultra Telekinesis and possessing no strength whatsoever, and his physical attributes are now just those of an ordinary person with a bit more strength, he is already quite satisfied.

He had prepared himself to be turned into a spark doll, but he was very lucky to still be able to move freely.

With his last bit of strength, he created an identity document. Coincidentally, just a few days after landing, Japan was holding its teacher qualification exam. He managed to pass the exam while working and renting a place, and was successfully hired by the elementary school.

Because he was quite busy, he hadn't checked if there were any Ultraman-related tokusatsu shows around here, but now it seems there probably are.

If I had known this would happen, perhaps it would have been better to change my appearance and name, but now it's too late to change it.

I can only tell a little white lie now.

"Well... because I grew up watching 'Eddie' when I was little, and I've always admired teachers like that, so I changed my name. As for my appearance, this is what I've always looked like, okay?"

"After all, think about it, there are actors who look like this, so it's normal for there to be a second person who looks similar, right?"

The arrow, which had almost been exposed at the start, chuckled and scratched the back of his head, offering this explanation somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hey~" Ishida Shouya chuckled, "Teacher, you're so old and you still like Ultraman? How lame, how childish!"

"That's it!"

"The teacher is so childish!"

The other students who had just revealed Meng's identity chimed in, afraid that if they didn't say something, they would be seen as childish.

I can't give others the impression that I'm still watching Ultraman at my age, or I'll be laughed at to death.

Yagami Takeshi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the students had accepted his explanation. But that made sense; in this peaceful world where no strange beings had ever appeared, the students couldn't possibly take him for the real Yagami Takeshi.

This is a good thing.

However, he could not agree with the rest.

“There’s nothing wrong with being childish, right?” Yagami rejected the students’ chorus of voices trying to distance themselves from the issue. “I think that if something is meant to guide people toward goodness, then even if you grow up and think it’s childish, it’s still a good thing.”
