Abnormal Moon

"Speaking of which, Moth Master hasn't told me which grade I'll be teaching yet..."

Under Zenjima Maki's questioning, Roy suddenly discovered a blind spot.

He has now joined a vocational college and become a teacher there, that's true.

But it seems that Masamichi Nobi never told him which grade he should teach.

There are five insights in the first grade.

There was someone in second grade, and there should be someone in third grade too.

Which grade does he teach?

Why did we call him here?

"Maki-kun, tell me about the current structure of vocational colleges, and show me around. I've been here for a few days and I don't even know what a school looks like."

After thinking for a while, Roy made a request to Zenin Maki, finally getting the idea to learn about the school where he would be working in the future.

In Japan, calling someone by their first name is generally something only close friends or family members do.

Roy doesn't like such formalities, so he usually prefers to call people by their first names.

Zenin Maki didn't care at all.

She nodded happily.

"Okay, consider this a return gift for our sparring session earlier. I feel there's room for improvement."

She also doesn't like people calling her Zen Temple.

Calling her by her name would be more in line with her wishes.

Under the guidance of Zenin Maki, Roy gained a preliminary understanding of the staff and facilities of the high school.

The vocational college is currently in the process of changing its grade level.

The system here is different from that of schools in Japan. Here, the semester ends in April, followed by a two-month break, and then the new school year begins in June.

The reason for this system is related to the seasonal activities of cursed spirits. Cursed spirits gradually enter a period of frequent activity in early spring, which requires a large number of people to exorcise them. Even students have to be busy and have no time to attend classes.

The fourth graders from the previous year have already graduated.

The third-year students from the previous year have mostly left school and entered their internships, so there's no need to introduce them.

The previous second grade had only two students.

One is named Kinji, and the other is named Kirara Hoshi.

The two are currently on indefinite leave of absence from school because they argued with and even beat up high-ranking officials during a previous mission. It is unknown when they will be able to return to school, so they are not included in this discussion.

After eliminating these categories, only first-year students are worth introducing.

The previous year's first-year students—who will become second-year students in two months—plus one transfer student, make a total of four students.

They are Zenin Maki, Inu-maki Toshi, Panda, and Otsuku Yuta.

That's right.

The entire Tokyo campus of the vocational high school only has a handful of students, totaling about ten people. Maki's class is considered to have a relatively large number of students.

Among them, Yuta Ekiku is the transfer student.

She is also one of the four remaining top-tier sorcerers in Japan.

Although he is about the same age as Maki, he joined the world of sorcery as a special-grade sorcerer from the beginning.

At the end of last year, he lost his special-grade rating and fell to the level of a fourth-grade mage. But then, he only took three months, just last month, to return to the special-grade level. His current strength is far from its peak. He is a real potential stock, a genius that may not appear once in a hundred million people.

However, he is currently on a mission. As a top-level officer with immense strength, he is like a firefighter, running all over the country.

The other two students, Dog-Spinning Thorn and Panda, are respectively a near-Level 1 Sorcerer and a near-Level 2 Sorcerer, and are also currently on a mission.

Maki had just returned from a mission, but she didn't expect to encounter such a distressing situation as soon as she got back.

Also.

The teacher in charge of the first grade is Gojo Satoru, the pinnacle of the jutsu world, known to everyone.

The second-year teacher is Atsuya Kusakabe, who, although he does not possess any magic techniques, is recognized as the strongest first-level magic user.

The third-grade teacher was a passerby who wished to remain anonymous.

However, all three are currently on a mission.

Especially Gojo Satoru, who frequently travels overseas and is always busy.

"The rest are this year's freshmen."

As Zenin Maki finished speaking, she suddenly turned a corner and headed towards the dormitory area.

"That guy has already checked in, so let's go see him!"

Roy had no objection and followed.

There weren't many people in the vocational college, so you could just find a place to stay in the dorms. They were all very spacious single rooms, complete with beds, wardrobes, and even laptops. After all, it was a demanding job, so the benefits were quite generous.

"Hui, open the door! It's so late, are you still sleeping?"

On the second floor of a dormitory building, in a corner room, Maki arrived and knocked on the tightly closed door without any hesitation, seemingly unconcerned about waking the person inside.

A short while later, the door opened.

"...You're so energetic so early in the morning, Maki-senpai."

A boy dressed in black pajamas appeared at the door, scratching his head and looking grumpy. He glared at Zenin Maki with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"You're just too lazy. If you have time to sleep in, why don't you exercise with me in the morning?"

Zenji Maki said dismissively, glancing at him as she spoke.

Immediately afterwards, she took a half step to the left, making way for Roy behind her.

The black-haired boy was slightly taken aback.

White hair, handsome.

He was tall and wore glasses.

At first glance, without looking closely, he thought Gojo had returned from his mission.

"Let me introduce you. This is Teacher Roy. He just joined the college and is a top-level mage."

Zenin Maki emphasized the words "Special Grade Mage".

She then introduced the dark-haired boy to Roy.

"Teacher, this is Fushiguro Megumi, a first-year student who will be enrolling this year."

Roy quickly sized up the black-haired boy.

She was rather slender, with a head of black hair that spread out like a sea urchin. Perhaps because she had just woken up, she seemed listless, with eyes like a salted fish. However, she had a very handsome face and the potential to be a gigolo.

Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment, then came to her senses and bowed slightly to Roy.

"Hello teacher."

I gave a very ordinary greeting.

"Hello, Fushiguro-kun."

Roy responded with a smile.

There are only two first-grade students this year: one is Fushiguro Megumi, and the other is Kugizaki Nobara. They will not be able to come until the start of school in June.

After getting to know each other, Maki, with Roy on her shoulders and under Fushiguro Megumi's stern expression that seemed to say, "What are you doing here?", left the dormitory area.

before leaving.

Roy reached behind him with one hand and pulled out a small familiar, cast an invisibility rune on it, and placed it discreetly into Fushiguro Megumi's room.

The familiar lingered there for a moment, found a few strands of hair on the pillow, and took them out with its mouth.

"Thank you for showing me around the college, Maki-san."

"nothing."

Zenji Maki said nonchalantly.

She paused, then pondered before speaking.

"Professor Roy, will you be staying at the vocational college a lot lately?"

"Hmm? I think so."

Do you exercise every morning?

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will happen."

Roy nodded naturally.

"In martial arts, if you don't advance, you fall behind; you have to be constantly on edge."

He had promised Fan Xinglu that he would train hard even without her supervision, so that he could satisfy her thirst for battle in the future.

If he doesn't improve at all when he goes back next time, or even if his martial arts skills have regressed, he'll definitely be beaten to death by Fan Xinglu, right?

"Yes."
