Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

"Wake up! I didn't get you all up so early to sleep!"

"The top high schools finish school 40 minutes later than you, which means you have 40 minutes less study time than students in top high schools..." After saying a lot, he successfully stirred up everyone's resentment towards the grade director. They were already sleep-deprived, and hearing these words made them even angrier.

A beautiful day begins and ends now.

Chen Xi was extremely dissatisfied. Was this grade head's mother out of her mind?

Who wouldn't be sleepy getting up this early? They come to our classroom every day around this time.

I really want to kill him.

It's fine for us to get up so early, but what about the older teachers? Are you trying to work them to death?

……

"Everyone, go to the playground for morning exercises!"

After finishing the morning exercises, we could eat. Everyone thought that, but unexpectedly, another director spoke on the podium, making everyone stand on the playground for 20 minutes. We were also frozen for 20 minutes. Who would have thought that there would be a cold wave in the middle of spring?

"Is Wang Xiaofei out of his mind?"

"That's all bullshit!"

"ill!"

I really want to go over there and beat him up!

……

People were just talking about it; they didn't dare to actually confront him.

After the class dispersed, Chen Xi dragged her friend to the classroom to get their meal cards, and then went to the cafeteria to eat. The two ate slowly, and after finishing the last mouthful of porridge, the senior students who were repeating their senior year of high school arrived.

This week it's Chen Xi's group's turn to be on duty, and if they're late, they'll get scolded by the homeroom teacher.

"I need to go clean up the mess over there where the badminton is, so I'm off now."

"Ah."

...There were only a few people on the badminton court, picking up trash on the ground. My blood pressure would spike every time this happened.

"Who's so heartless? I just picked them up, and after walking around, there are more on the ground!"

"Me too!"

"Screw him!"

"You guys stop picking them up and go back to the classroom. We'll have them come over later."

"Oh."

The school bell rang, its deafening sound hurting everyone's ears.

The teacher, who was waiting at the classroom door, walked up to the podium with the textbook, placed it on the table, and sorted out the large assignments collected by the class representative.

"Attend class."

"Stand up!" the squad leader shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Hello, teacher!" The voice was loud and clear, but the whole class was not in good spirits. No one had slept well, and their eyes were covered in dark circles.

Originally, it was fine to arrive at the classroom before 6:00 AM, but now the grade director has changed it to arrive before 5:50 AM.

This makes everyone's already short sleep time even shorter. If looks could kill, the grade director would probably be a pool of blood by now.

My prejudice against the school has increased even more.

"Hello, students, please sit down."

"Everyone, stand up! Wake up if you're sleeping!" The Chinese teacher rolled up her book and tapped it on the metal table a few times, waking up the sleeping students.

"Start reciting." The Chinese teacher spoke in a friendly tone, at least in a conversation with the students on an equal footing, without any sense of condescension.

……

"Ascending Yueyang Tower, [Tang Dynasty] Du Fu: I heard of Dongting Lake long ago, now I ascend Yueyang Tower. Wu and Chu are rent asunder in the southeast, heaven and earth float day and night. Not a word from relatives and friends, only an old and sick man in a lonely boat. War is raging north of the passes, leaning on the railing, tears stream down my face."

……

"...I've long heard of Dongting Lake, now I ascend Yueyang Tower. The southeast of Wu and Chu is rent asunder, heaven and earth float day and night..."

"...Warfare rages north of the mountains, leaning on the railing, tears stream down my face..."

...After reciting for a while, seeing the teacher taking pictures walk away, the sound of reading in the classroom instantly disappeared.

The student at the table behind him poked him with a pen and asked, "Has the teacher left?"

Chen Xi, who was sitting in a position where she couldn't see the situation at the large window on the right, replied, "I don't know."

The class representative glanced outside the door, then ran straight to the podium and shouted, "The teacher's here! The teacher's here! Hurry up and recite! What are you looking at!"

Chen Xi subconsciously looked towards the window: "Where?"

The student behind him: "Don't look out the window! Memorize it quickly!"

Chen Xi hurriedly picked up the book spine on the table: "Uh... Not a word from relatives and friends, only an old and sick man in a lonely boat..."

"Ascending Yueyang Tower, by Du Fu of the Song Dynasty..."

The homeroom teacher walked around the classroom and found someone sleeping in the most conspicuous spot in the middle. He took out his phone, opened the camera, took a picture, and then sent it to the WeChat class group.

Then he woke up the sleeping student: "Wake up, class is starting, you'll be standing all morning."

The student who was sleeping tried to fool the homeroom teacher: "Huh? Teacher, I didn't sleep, I just lay down for a bit."

The homeroom teacher produced evidence: "You closed your eyes. If you don't believe me, I took a picture. Look for yourself."

Seeing that the evidence was irrefutable, the student who had been sleeping realized that continuing to argue would likely result in another argument, so they could only resign themselves to their fate: "Yes, I was sleeping..."

Desk mate: "What time did you go to sleep last night?"

Chen Xi thought for a few seconds: "It seems to be 1 a.m...."

My deskmate: "Less than six hours? You're really something. Are you trying to die sooner than you thought?"

"..."

Chen Xi asked curiously what time her deskmate went to sleep, "What about you?"

My deskmate replied, "Just stay up all night."

Chen Xi gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

"I'll definitely burn more homework for you when you die."

My deskmate said earnestly, "I won't die."

Chen Xi: "Who knows when I'll die? Don't worry, I'll definitely burn more homework for you!"

My deskmate: "...Can we not talk about this? It just feels unlucky."

Chen Xi asked, puzzled, "What's so unlucky about it? Everyone has to die eventually, right?"

My deskmate thought for a few seconds and said, "Uh...that seems to make sense."

Chen Xi: "Do you think I'm sick?"

My deskmate: "Yes, he has delusional disorder. He always thinks he's amazing, but in reality he's nothing special. He's neither good at academics nor sciences."

……

The bell rang, and rows of students were slumped over their desks.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, next class is English!"

"Can't you sleep while speaking English?"

“That Zhang San is always loitering outside the window, and we have surveillance cameras above us, so we don’t dare to sleep at all.”

"So why did the teacher transfer me here?"

"do not know."

My deskmate stacked his books on top of his head and slept on them, because that would reduce the damage to his cervical spine.

Chen Xi was extremely sleepy during class, but as soon as get out of class ended, all sleepiness disappeared. Ten minutes was a very short time for Chen Xi; it was just a short while of daydreaming before class started again.

……

The loud school bell woke up the students from their sleep, and the homeroom teacher walked up to the podium.

"Your English teacher has something to do today, so the first two periods will be chemistry, and the last two periods will be Chinese."

"What a fucking bad luck!" one of the bolder students muttered.

The homeroom teacher heard it too, but didn't care at all.

Chen Xi didn't think much of it; she still couldn't understand science anyway. But since she was in the front row, she had to give the homeroom teacher some face, so she started to listen attentively.

"This is different from what you understand in physics. In physics, a battery is called a battery no matter where you put it, but in chemistry, this one is only called a battery if it's used..."

"If it increases oxygen loss and decreases oxygen gain, then what is its valence?"

do not know.

"This question is very simple... so..."

No, I really don't understand. I'm so sorry, teacher.

……

I finally endured a long, painful morning...
