"Oh, is that so?"
"I heard this news from Tsubaki."
At the Occult Research Club in the old school building, Himejima Akeno, with her ponytail, was smiling as she reported something to Rias.
"Then I'll have to go see for myself tomorrow. It's not often you find someone who can make Sona stumble."
When Rias heard that someone could make Sona admit defeat, she gave Himejima Akeno a meaningful smile and said.
"Ara, it seems the President wants to recruit new peerage members?"
Himejima Akeno heard this, placed her right hand on her beautiful face, and asked Rias with an S-like smile.
"Let's see first. I don't just accept anyone. By the way, how is that boy you asked us to keep an eye on?"
Rias seemed to recall something, took a sip of black tea, and continued to ask Akeno.
"That boy? He's still the same. Every day it's either peeping or..."
"Rias, are you really sure you want to make him a peerage member?"
Thinking of the boy Rias had them watch, Akeno's expression uncharacteristically turned serious.
"He has a Sacred Gear residing within him. Although I don't know what it is, I'm running out of time!"
Hearing Akeno's question, Rias's smile instantly vanished as if she had recalled something, leaving only a look of solemnity on her face.
And hearing Rias's words, Himejima Akeno looked at her close friend in front of her and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If only someone could step forward to help Rias at this moment, she wouldn't mind offering herself as a bargaining chip.
Although she knew this thought was just wishful thinking, because Rias would absolutely not allow her to sacrifice her own happiness.
"Alright, away with the sadness. Tomorrow, let's go meet this new teacher and the two transfer students."
Looking at the silent Akeno and the other two, Rias smiled and said loudly to everyone present.
"Okay, President!"
"Oh!"
Kiba Yuto and Koneko Toujou also responded one after another.
The next day
"Master, if you don't get up, you'll miss morning classes. It's your first day of teaching today, isn't it?"
Sakuya, holding toiletries, was helplessly trying to persuade the sleeping Zhong Chen to get out of bed.
"Mmm mmm mmm... Then let Diablo go blow up the school, that way we won't have to go to class."
A muffled voice came from under the covers.
"Please don't say such troublesome things over such a small matter."
"Besides, Rimuru and Milim have already been waiting for you in the dining room for half an hour."
"Ugh... Why does time still have to flow when I'm sleeping?"
"Wouldn't it be better if it just stopped until I woke up..."
Zhong Chen groggily sat up from under the covers, his head nodding up and down.
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, a black line appeared on Sakuya's forehead, and she said with a troubled expression:
"Please do not mess with the timeline over such a small matter."
"Really, you don't even need to sleep, but why do you always manage to make yourself seem so drowsy?"
"Could it be that Tina infected you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chen immediately shook off his drowsiness and became refreshed.
"Sakuya, you don't understand how sacred sleeping is. If people don't sleep, they will die!"
Looking at the unrepentant Zhong Chen, Sakuya immediately said with a poker face:
"But you can still be lively every day without sleeping."
"Alright, since you're awake, hurry up and wash up. Otherwise, breakfast will get cold."
"Alright... Ha!"
Hearing Sakuya's words, Zhong Chen reverted to his listless state, even faking a yawn... "Wow, it really is better to be lucky than early. The Student Council President is actually waiting for me at the entrance so early?"
As soon as Zhong Chen got out of the extended luxury car, he saw Sona Sitri and Shinra Tsubaki standing at the school gate.
"Teacher Zhong Chen, if you were five minutes later, the school gate would have closed!"
Sona Sitri looked speechlessly at Zhong Chen, who was walking towards her with a bright smile while speaking.
"Hehe, it hasn't closed yet, has it! By the way, which class do I teach?"
"Third year, Class Two."
"And Miss Rimuru and Miss Milim will also be enrolling in third year, Class Two."
"Follow me!"
Hearing Sona's words, Zhong Chen didn't express any opinion.
Instead, he shrugged indifferently and gestured for Rimuru and Milim to quickly follow.
"This is it. You two go in yourselves. I still have things to take care of. If you have any questions, just come find me in the Student Council room."
After saying that, Sona Sitri turned and left with Shinra Tsubaki.
Zhong Chen looked up at the sign that read 'Third Year, Class Two' on the door, wondering if he would be met with a barrage of students firing rifles at him as soon as he entered.
Click... As the classroom door was pushed open, Zhong Chen walked in with Rimuru and Milim. As soon as he entered the classroom, Zhong Chen's gaze was drawn to a head of red long hair.
Meanwhile, the students below were staring at the three people standing on the podium with shining eyes.
"Wow, is this the new homeroom teacher? He's so handsome, I can't take it!"
"What's with that blue-haired girl? I actually see both an older sister and a youthful vibe from her!"
"You feel it too? Me too, but she's so beautiful."
"And this pink-haired girl, those little fangs are so cute, I really want to take her home and keep her."
"Wow, a maid! This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful maid. Could it be that one of them is a foreign noble?"
Ignoring the chattering girls below, Zhong Chen picked up a piece of chalk and wrote his own name and the names of the other three on the blackboard.
"My name is Zhong Chen. Starting today, I will be your homeroom teacher. This is Izayoi Sakuya, currently serving as my assistant teacher."
"As for these two, I'll let them introduce themselves."
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Rimuru immediately smiled and introduced herself to the female students below the stage:
"My name is Rimuru Tempest. Please take care of me from now on."
Rimuru looked at the familiar classroom environment, recalling her high school life.
At that time, she never imagined she would be reborn in another world, and even more fortunately, meet her A Chen.
"Hehe! I'm Milim Nava, and I'm a Demon Lord! Wahahaha!"
Hearing Milim's self-introduction, the girls below stared at Milim with even more glowing eyes.
"Wow, she's so cute! She actually said she's a Demon Lord. Is she one of those legendary chuunibyou?"
"I like her even more now, what do I do?"
"I love lively girls like this the most!"
"Hehe, since you all want Milim, I'll take Teacher Zhong Chen."
"Eh? No one's taking Rimuru? Then I will!"
Zhong Chen listened to the discussions below, quickly looking around. That's right, this isn't the Seikishi world.
Why are there still so many wolf-like female hooligans? You're even going after Milim.
She's still a tens of thousands of years old child...
