Real teaching, but diary flow

"Of course...that's right!" Hoshinomiya Chie propped her head up with one hand and gripped her lesson plan in the other, shaking it back and forth. "Sae and I have been friends for ages, you could say we're the best, best, best of friends~"

"So, is there something you want to ask me about Kosae?"

"Do you want to know her measurements? Or whether she has a boyfriend, or what type of woman she likes?"

As she spoke with a smile, Hoshinomiya Chie suddenly realized that the first person to ask a question was not Asakusa Tetsu, but Shirahami Chihiro.

"Ah, but one thing is for sure, Kozae's sexual orientation is normal, you know?"

After all, there seems to be a strange trend of homosexuality circulating among students lately, and she has always felt that the way Shiranami Chihiro looks at Ichinose Honami is a bit off. After thinking about it, she felt that she should give her a slight reminder.

“...Nobody wants to ask that kind of question,” Kanzaki Ryuji said in a low voice.

One of the students quietly retorted, "I actually really want to know."

"It's that one, that one." As if a floodgate had been opened, the other students in the class immediately became lively: "I heard that Hoshinomiya-sensei and Chabashira-sensei were both students at this school."

"Teacher, is this true?"

Chapter 87 Please Set a Good Example as a Teacher

"..."

Hoshinomiya's smile froze slightly, and she subconsciously narrowed her eyes, but she quickly realized that she was under the gaze of forty classmates, and every detail of her expression would be noticed.

Then, she slowly relaxed her brows and revealed her usual expression again.

Setting down her lesson plan, she instead twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers. After a brief pause, she spoke again:

"...Hey, that's a strange question. Everyone, where did you all hear this news from?"

All she ever mentioned was that she and Chabashira Sae were high school classmates and best friends, but she never revealed anything about being a student at Advanced Education.

Similarly, she didn't think at all that Chabashira Sae was the kind of person who would proactively talk to students about such things.

Apart from the two women involved, other teachers who knew the situation would be even less likely to share such gossip with their students.

Hoshinomiya's tone was nonchalant, and the students below the stage, completely unaware, raised their hands high:

"The message board! It's been all over the school's message board lately!"

"They say that Hoshinomiya-sensei and Chabashira-sensei were both students in Class D of this school, and they almost made it into Class A!"

As if trying to show off their gossip knowledge to Hoshinomiya Chie, the students straightened their backs and loudly shouted out the source of their information.

The school's message board.

"Hmm...that's quite interesting." Hoshinomiya Chie's smile returned. She leaned over the podium, resting her chest on the sill, and looked down at Shiranami Chihiro, who was closest to her. Then, she smiled and extended her hand:

"Chihiro, may I borrow your classmate's message board for a moment to look at what everyone's talking about?"

Her figure, though not voluptuous, possessed a mature and graceful charm. The curves of her body were clearly defined by the platform, and most of the students in the class couldn't help but focus on her neckline, which seemed ready to fall down at any moment.

The male students instinctively cast their gazes, while the female students admired this maturity and tried to compare themselves.

...But Ichinose's is definitely bigger, isn't it?

"Teacher, don't you have your own personal terminal too..." Despite complaining like this, seeing the hand already extended in front of her, Shiraha Chihiro obediently took out her personal terminal, opened the school's message board, and then handed it to the outstretched hand.

Anyway, she didn't post anything random on the message board, so there was no need to worry that her posting history would reveal anything.

"Hehehe, you don't know this, teachers aren't allowed to take out their personal terminals during class, you know?" Holding Shiraha Chihiro's terminal, Hoshinomiya Chie straightened up and wiggled her index finger with a smile: "If the school finds out, they'll dock your pay~"

Whether it's a message sent during class or a phone call from someone else, you absolutely cannot answer it while in class!

If it's a call from the school, then you'll be caught red-handed and your salary will be docked.

Why aren't you in class answering the phone?!

Do you think the school's money grows on trees?

"...Teacher, if you take my device, will you deduct points from our class?" After a moment of silence, Bai Boqianxun asked this question.

Although the behavioral norms exam has ended, this does not mean that the school will not record violations or deduct points for them.

Skipping class or being late will still result in point deductions, it's just not as strict.

The camera is still working perfectly, faithfully recording every action in every class.

"It's okay, it's okay~" Hoshinomiya Chie waved her hand as she scrolled through the message board with lots of information on her terminal: "Everyone still has more than 800 points, so it won't be much of a loss."

To put it bluntly, it was an extremely offensive statement.

It was so outrageous that even the class's little angel couldn't take it anymore.

"Hoshino-miya-sensei!" called out with a kind smile; it was Ichinose Honami.

She stood up, smiled, and said, "Please set a good example for your teachers, okay?"

With Ichinose taking the lead, the other classmates followed suit and spoke up one after another:

"What do you mean we won't lose many points? We're only a few dozen points behind Class B."

"Although Hoshinomiya-sensei is already quite excessive normally, it feels like she's gone even further now."

"Apologize!"

"Teacher should also reflect on his behavior! Always coming to class reeking of alcohol is something to behold. Please apologize to Bai Bo."

In the blink of an eye, the gossipy atmosphere turned into pressure. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Hoshinomiya Chie stopped swiping down the screen and handed the terminal back to Shiranami Chihiro: "Here you go."

Then he gently clasped his hands together, making a crisp sound, and winked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. Can you forgive me?"

The crisp sound of her clasped hands silenced the shouts of her classmates, and her seemingly sincere apology left them with nothing to criticize.

Just when everyone thought it was unforgivable.

"That's insincere." Asakusa Tetsu propped his head up and waved his hand. "Isn't it common sense to show your belly when apologizing?"

A moment of silence filled the classroom, then Chihiro Shiraha instinctively blurted out a complaint:

"What kind of common sense is that?!"

Blinking, Asakusa Toru casually added:

"Am I mistaken? If it's not my belly..."

"—Asakusa-kun?" Suddenly, Ichinose Honami's voice came from the side.

So Asakusa Tetsu obediently swallowed the remaining two words.

Yes, we should definitely know when to stop playing around.

The camera is still watching.

"So, Hoshinomiya-sensei, what's your answer?" Seeing Asakusa Toru obediently shut up, Ichinose Honami turned her head with satisfaction and looked at Hoshinomiya Chie on the stage, announcing the end of the apology segment and that it was time to get back to the gossip itself.

"Yes, it's true?" Hoshinomiya Chie nodded very easily.

She opened her arms and gently drew a semicircle in the air with her hands:

"Whether it's the fact that we were all students at this school, or the fact that we were all students in Class D, or the fact that we were once within reach of Class A."

"All of it, is it true?"

Without hesitation, she admitted to everything.

Chapter 88 I'll crush you!

"Although I don't know which malicious teacher leaked the information, all of this is true, okay?"

Hoshinomiya Chie's mind was still filled with the images she had just seen on Shiranami Chihiro's personal terminal.

The exposed past allows others to take advantage of anonymity to make malicious speculations without restraint.

Although I don't know who did this, it doesn't matter.

She was overjoyed whenever she saw Chabashira Sae being scolded by everyone.

In the past, she didn't take the initiative to talk about these things, firstly because it was meaningless, and even if she talked about the past from her perspective, it wouldn't change anything.

They are all class advisors, but ultimately, it is the students under their supervision who make the decisions.

Besides, on the surface, Chabashira Sae is quite well-behaved, as if she intends to dedicate the rest of her life to being the homeroom teacher of Class D. There's no reason for her to stir up any more trouble.

Secondly, she can't. As the class advisor, she can chat with the students about gossip when she has nothing to do, but when it comes to special exams, which could be suspected of leaking exam questions to the students, she can't just say anything.

It might become a violation of the rules, and if that happened, she wouldn't be able to be a teacher with her 'most beloved Sae,' which would make her very sad.

But things are different now. Now, the students are the ones who are asking her if that's true.

Of course, she would nod without hesitation and give it a push!

"So, I'm really, really touched to see everyone climb up to Class A so quickly." With a smile, Hoshinomiya Chie lay down again, raising one hand and waving it, saying, "Everyone, please don't fall down—"

You absolutely must crush Kosae's class!

Seeing her hand dangling down, Asakusa Tetsu was about to retort that she had forgotten she had class, but before he could finish his retort, Hoshinomiya Chie suddenly sat up.

"Alright! Gossip time over!" She swayed slightly, straightened her slightly disheveled collar, and said, "That's all I can say, teacher. I can't reveal anything about the exam or anything else. Otherwise, if I lose my job, I'll be begging you all to support me after you graduate."

However, while it's good to encourage things, we should know when to stop.

If she simply nods and acknowledges that these are facts, the students will spontaneously spread even more information.

You can say anything extra, but you can't say it from her mouth.

"It's time to get back to class—" So, straightening up, Hoshinomiya Chie smiled and ended the gossip topic.

......

Class D, first year.

After the shock of the behavior code exam at midnight and the midterm exam, Class D, which was supposed to be the worst and noisiest, has gradually put away its playful thoughts and started to listen to the lectures seriously, suppressing its free nature.

Although some people think, "Since I already have a zero and it won't get any lower, it doesn't matter if I skip class or take leave," the vast majority of people still want to get out of the zero-point predicament.

The 100,000 points in the first month easily made people get used to spending money lavishly, but it was really upsetting to tell them that they had none left after just one month.

Although the school provides free supplies and meals, the taste of the mountain vegetable set meal is really not acceptable to high school students.

However, compared to those reasons, what probably caused the biggest change in the atmosphere of Class D was Haruki Yamauchi.

Haruki Yamauchi's greatest, strongest, most powerful, and most magnificent masterpiece has been sealed away.

To save Haruki Yamauchi, who struggles to absorb knowledge even during study sessions at the library, and to prevent any student from being left out and expelled, Yosuke Hirata, having already made up his mind, didn't hesitate to use his last remaining points to move his seat next to Haruki Yamauchi.

In other words, she swapped seats with Haruka Hasebe.

Despite his girlfriend Kei Karuizawa's apparent strong objections, the outcome remained unchanged despite her opinions.

With Hirata Yosuke suppressing Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudo Kenya forcing himself to start studying, the only one left in Class D who would actively cause trouble and set the pace was actually Ike Kanji.

However, with both of his "best friends" keeping their heads down, it was indeed a difficult task to get Ike Kanji to take the initiative and attract the attention of his classmates.

Unless... there's some incredibly big news that's making his mind start to stir.

For example, the matter concerning Chabashira Sae has been circulating wildly on the school's message board in the past two days.

“...Francis Bacon...”

The teacher on the podium spoke names that were hard to remember, casually mentioning all sorts of confusing knowledge. Meanwhile, Chi Kuanzhi, sitting below the podium, finally couldn't resist his itching heart any longer. He first looked around, then glanced at the podium, before simply tearing off a piece of white paper, shrinking his head, and picking up a pen.

Have you heard about what's been happening on the message board lately?

After writing these words, Kanji Ike casually crumpled the white paper into a ball.

He first carefully observed Hirata Yosuke to his left, then quickly seized the opportunity and gently tossed the paper ball, letting it land on Yamauchi Haruki's table in a clever arc.

"—" Haruki Yamauchi's breath hitched.

He first casually pressed down the crumpled paper with his hand, and then carefully observed Hirata Yosuke beside him. Seeing that he seemed to be listening attentively to the lesson, he breathed a sigh of relief and unfolded the crumpled paper.

The next moment, his eyes lit up.

Those eyes, dulled by the torment of those ear-piercing, nagging lessons, suddenly brightened.

This is exactly what I wanted! Class time is for gossiping!

Listening attentively in class is simply not in Haruki Yamauchi's style!

[Of course I heard!!! It's about Chabashira being in Class D before, right? LOL, I remember that girl calling us "defective" before, and now she's in Class D herself! I really don't know where she gets the nerve to criticize us, especially since she was in Class D before. She should have known we'd lose points, but she actually did nothing. Isn't that a bit too much?]
