The next day - the end of class that day, to be exact - my life as a teacher began.
In the mornings, I mainly deliver messages in homeroom, and it's the same on the way home.
I told her that she could come to me with any questions she had, but as expected, no one would come to a kid like me for advice.
"Hey, where did you learn to use a sword, Sensei?
"In the east. Well, I had a good master.
You're too strong. If he's that strong, we'll never beat him.
Really, really! I can't believe a girl like you is my teacher, but ......
...... was not what I expected.
No, in fact, I'm not asking for advice, I'm just asking questions.
It's after school and the girls are gathering around asking me questions.
If it wasn't for advice, I would have gone back to the staff room as soon as possible, but they wouldn't let me.
The boys were also concerned about my movements, and I could feel their eyes on me.
Mostly jealousy. I would say, "Don't be jealous of younger people.
"Teacher, if you're free after school, let's hang out!
"No, you're a teacher. I have a job to do after school.
It's obvious that he's not treating me like a teacher anymore, and it's not how I expected him to treat me.
I thought that there would be some awe and respect after showing strength, but the students seemed to have the impression that he was just a great kid.
It seems that word is spreading fast, and people are already saying that I defeated the "Sword Saint Princess".
To be precise, I didn't defeat her, I just beat her by running out of time.
I glanced at Iris and saw that she was looking straight at me.
No, that's a lot of pressure.
It feels like she's about to slash at me.
I don't expect everyone to think well of me, but it's a sad story that the target of my guard is the most wary of me.
Let's see... Gentlemen, I've got work to do.
Wait a minute.
When I opened my mouth to end the conversation, my words were interrupted by Iris, who had been watching the situation.
