A 17-year-old male teacher in '14

  "Chairman!" The blonde girl stormed forward, pointing at Mu Xiao Xiao, "This guy looks about the same age as me, why is he a teacher at Otone no Mori Academy? Does he even have the ability? And according to what you said, Chairman, he's not even Japanese. This suspicious-looking guy..."

  "Hey, do I look suspicious? Mu Xiaoxiao felt a bit down, even though she was also a high school student and had been a top student herself. When the blonde girl questioned her, Mu Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt annoyed. Wait a minute, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that she still had a teacher's certification. So that's how it is, they've been planning for me to be a teacher from the start."

  "Don't worry about that," the chairman smiled faintly in response to the blonde girl's aggressive tone, "Although Xiao Xiao is also your age this year, he graduated from Columbia University at the age of seventeen and is a genius. I think it's completely fine for him to come here and teach."

  No, you're making me feel even more embarrassed now, it's all because of the system.

  "...what?" Hearing the chairman's words, the blonde girl widened her eyes and seriously looked at Mu Xiaoxiao a few times, "Even if you say that..."

  "Kazari Niki, I think you should be aware of this, but the number of new students at Otonokizaka High School is decreasing. As a result, we are facing the crisis of being shut down. Not only the students, but also the teachers don't want to come here because no one knows when it will be closed and they'll lose their jobs. Now that someone has come to teach here, even though they're a bit young, it's still not bad."

  The blonde girl was speechless and could only bite her lip, turning to leave the room. Of course, before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at Xiao Xiao Yu.

  "Hmm, well, now that most of the teachers at Otonokizaka Academy have left, I'm really grateful you're here to apply for a teaching position," he said, pulling out a certificate from his drawer. "This is your teacher's certification. From now on, you are officially a teacher at Otonokizaka Academy."

  "Hmm..." Mu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly as she took the teacher's certificate. Since it was an identity arranged by the system, she could only accept it. "Principal, I'd like to ask, which class am I supposed to teach?"

  "2nd year, class B," said the student council president with a sudden bitter smile. "To be honest, there aren't many classes in our school, Nogizaka Academy. There are three 3rd-year classes, two 2nd-year classes, and only one 1st-year class... I think by next year, no one will even apply to this school..."

  "Alright," Mu Xiao nodded slightly, not asking any further questions. After all, she had just arrived here and didn't want to make the principal unhappy by asking too much. "Then I'll go take a look at my classroom first."

  "Uh-huh."

  ——————————————————————————————————————————————

  "What...what...school abolition?!" A loud shout echoed throughout the campus, Kousaka Hinata yelled out loud, shaking the shoulders of a girl next to her repeatedly. "What do we do?! The principal suddenly announced that the school will be abolished, my high school life...is it going to end like this?!"

  "Hahaha, Hinata, calm down," Nishimiya looked at Shouko with cold sweat, "It's no use saying these things now."

  "The little bird is right, Suzuno, even if we say these things now, it won't change the current situation," said a blue-haired girl beside her in a soft voice.

  "I knew it, of course... just... just..." Kousaka Honoka buried her face in the desk, almost crying out, "It's just so frustrating! I really liked this school..."

  "I like it too..."

  "This is also unavoidable, I heard that the number of students admitted in recent years has been decreasing, and by next year, it's possible that no students will apply to our Otonokizaka High School..." said Ran Matsuhashi, the blue-haired girl.

  "Who said that? My sister will be applying for Nogizaka High School next year!" Kousaka Honoka exclaimed.

  "It's just one person, can't change anything. Besides, the decision to close down the school has already been made. Unless the enrollment rate of our Otonokizaka Middle School is extremely high... Otherwise... Moreover, it's not just students, many teachers have left too. After all, who would want to teach in a school that's about to be closed?"

  "...". Upon hearing Hanayo Koizumi's analysis, Kotori Minami lowered her head in disappointment.

  "Ah...... speaking of teachers, have you guys heard? Our class is getting a new teacher," Nanshao said with a smile, shifting the topic as she noticed the atmosphere was getting heavy.

  "Huh? A new teacher?" Kosaka Shinobu looked at her in surprise, "I've never heard of it before, and there's no such rumor in school either."

  "Little bird, are you telling the truth?" Tiantian Haiwei looked at her with the same shocked expression.

  "Uh, I heard this from my mom because the teacher left and she wanted to recruit a few more teachers. Apparently, they recruited graduates from Columbia University this time!"

  "Colombia? What's that?" Takane Hinata tilted her head in puzzlement.

  "Dummy, that's a famous university in the US! It's one of the top brand universities in the world!" Makoto Tachibana tapped Hinata Saki on the head.

  "Hey~"

  Just then, the door creaked open and the chatter in the classroom suddenly disappeared. The girls also quieted down, including Kousaka Honoka and her friends, who looked at the boy who had walked in with puzzled eyes.

  "Hey, little bird? Who's there?" asked Kousaka Honoka with a blink of her eyes.

  "Male student? But isn't Nogizaka Academy an all-girls school?" Kitahara Minami also expressed her own doubts.

  "I don't know," said Nan Xiao Niao shaking her head, suddenly thought of something and widened her eyes, "Could it be... won't it..."

  "Hm? What's wrong little bird? Is something the matter?" Minori Kousaka hurriedly asked, seeing Nanami Takaichi with an incredulous look on her face.

  "Just keep watching and you'll see, I'm not sure either..." Nanchao shook his head without saying anything, while Yuntian Hai's eyes flickered as if he had thought of something.

  "Cough, cough," Mu Xiaoxiao walked onto the stage, clearing her throat a few times to quiet down the female students who were already gossiping about her. She picked up a pink chalk and started writing on the blackboard with a "brush brush brush" sound, then turned around and slapped the blackboard with her hand, "From today on, I am your new head teacher, Mu Xiaoxiao."

  "New class teacher?"

  "Really?"

  When they heard Mu Xiaoxiao's words, the class that had just quieted down suddenly became noisy again. It was clear that they couldn't believe their homeroom teacher was actually a young man about their age.

  "Class teacher?!" Kosaka Shinobu's mouth was agape as she stiffly turned her head towards Minami Tori, "I...is this really our class teacher?"

  "I think it's correct," said Nan Xiaoniao, also shocked, but still nodded.

  "Our class teacher, is he a top student from Columbia University? He's obviously about the same age as us, are you kidding me?" Makoto Kaede muttered to herself while looking at Xiao Xiao on the podium.

  "Alright, what do you want to ask? I'll answer all your questions," said Mu Xiaoxiao with a smile, her eyes inadvertently glancing over Kousaka Honoka and the others, hmm, they were indeed in this class too.

  "Teacher! How old are you this year?"

  Without a doubt, this was the first question to be asked, and it was indeed within her expectations. Mu Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, "I'm seventeen years old..."

  "Seventeen years old?! She's only one year older than us, the same age as our third-year senpai!" exclaimed Ayaka, one of the trio, who stood up to ask, "Becoming a teacher at just seventeen is amazing!"

  "Hmm..." Mu Xiao Xiao tilted her head slightly, it was all because of the system's manipulation.

  "Is that teacher a foreigner?" Another girl stood up, "It doesn't sound like a Japanese name..."

  "That's right, I am Chinese..."

  "Really a foreigner?! So cool, I've never seen a foreigner before!" Upon hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's response, the girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with sparkling eyes.

  "Wait, could it be......" Kousaka Honoka looked at the podium where Minami Kou was being questioned by her female classmates with a somewhat flustered expression, and suddenly turned to Toudou Himi beside her and said, "Could it be that the student council president brought in a 17-year-old teacher to attract the junior high school students?"

  "Huh?" Hayami Kai and Minami Kotobuki were both stunned.

  "Because, you see, a 17-year-old teacher who's also from that famous university, this is just a publicity stunt to attract students, isn't it? Isn't this a way to attract students?" Kousaka Shinonome said with some excitement.

  "It's just your imagination, nothing more..." ×2.
