Chapter 26 Conan's Day of Suffering! (Please continue reading!)
Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Conan looked at his watch and began to count silently.

3, 2, 1!

Ding-ling-ling
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

After enduring forty-five minutes of agony, Conan finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and he was almost moved to tears.

For a 17-year-old high school student, making him take elementary school courses, especially first-grade courses, is worse than killing him.

Especially since he had already taken all of these courses, asking him to take them again would be completely futile; he simply couldn't concentrate and didn't want to listen.

Chinese class was already torture for him, but if he had to memorize multiplication tables in math class, it would be torture upon torture.

He felt that his life had suddenly become much darker.

Fortunately, the class was over, and he was finally free.

"This is today's Chinese homework. Don't forget to do it!"

Ms. Kobayashi pushed up her glasses, her face cold, and looked around.

The students below didn't dare to breathe. After this lesson, they knew that their new Chinese teacher was a "tiger mom" and not to be trifled with!

Finally, Kobayashi Sumiko's gaze lingered on Genta and Conan for a few more seconds before she looked away.

Based on her observations, Conan Edogawa and Genta Kojima are the problem students in the class!

Conan appears to be listening attentively, but his eyes are vacant, he's not absorbing anything, and he keeps looking at his watch, eagerly awaiting the end of get out of class. He doesn't act like a student at all, and he's not the focus of attention.

Genta has a short attention span and is easily distracted; he's only slightly better than Conan.

We need to tell Mr. Kitahara about these things.

Although she is no longer the homeroom teacher, some things still need to be prevented from happening again, and we must not let certain things repeat themselves.

"get out of class is over!"

Ms. Kobayashi took her lesson plan, turned around, and left the classroom of Class 1-B.

After Ms. Kobayashi left, the class erupted in excitement.

"Great! get out of class is finally over!"

Conan was secretly delighted and prepared to get up and leave his seat to find a quiet place to calm down. He couldn't stay in this classroom for another minute.

He had just gotten up when he noticed that the sunlight was blocked. He looked up and...
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi surrounded him, looking at him with grins.

Seeing their smiles, Conan had a bad feeling. He forced a smile and asked, "What do you want?"

"hey-hey."

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi exchanged glances and said in unison, "Edogawa-kun, do you want to play with us?!"

"ha!!!"

"Teacher Kitahara."

Sumiko Kobayashi walked into the office from outside, carrying lesson plans, and came to Kitahara Natsuhiro's side.

"What's wrong, Ms. Kobayashi?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro put down his teacup and looked up at Kobayashi Sumiko.

Holding her lesson plan, Kobayashi Sumiko pushed up her glasses and said with a serious expression, "Based on my observation, Genta is very inattentive in class. And Conan, who just transferred here, is even worse than Genta. He never listens attentively in class and is always staring at his watch, looking forward to the end of get out of class. When the bell rings, he almost jumps up. He doesn't seem to want to go to school."

"I think it's necessary to be a bit stricter with Genta and Conan."

She was a homeroom teacher at her previous school, but because she was too gentle, she was teased by naughty students, which caused some trouble during a parent-teacher conference.

This led her to arm herself, becoming unsmiling and always wearing a stern face, turning her into a 'tiger mom' in the eyes of her students.

But she still cared about her students; otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately told Kitahara Natsuhiro about her observations after class.

The hope is that the student will receive correction.

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pulled up a stool from the side and said with a smile, "Ms. Kobayashi, please sit down." Kobayashi Sumiko glanced at the stool, then at Kitahara Natsuhiro, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.

“Genta and the others are just starting first grade, and some of their habits haven’t been corrected yet. There’s no rush. They’ll get used to it.” Kitahara Natsuyu said softly. “As for Conan, he just transferred from another school and he’s not used to his surroundings yet. It’s understandable that he’s scared, afraid, and doesn’t want to go to school.”

"Therefore, Ms. Kobayashi needs to be more patient."

He knew perfectly well what was going on between Genta and Conan.

Genta simply hasn't fully adapted to elementary school life, while Conan has gone from a high school student to an elementary school student, a huge gap that he can't accept for a while.

If he were in Conan's position, he wouldn't want to go to elementary school and play games with those little brats either. He'd rather be alone and carefree.

This is the generation gap.

But it doesn't matter, Conan will soon be assimilated by the Teitan trio.

These three kids may not be good at much else, but they're good at pulling others down to their own level.

First came Conan Edogawa, then came Ai Haibara.

Please do not doubt the fighting ability of the Teitan Three Idiots.

Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Sumiko hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She used to be very patient, but the consequence of her patience was that she was often embarrassed by naughty students at parent-teacher meetings, which ended in a hasty conclusion.

That's why she left her original school, sealed her heart with cement, and transformed from a gentle female teacher into a man-eating 'tiger mom'.

She didn't want Kitahara Natsuhiro to repeat her mistakes.

“I’ve seen Ms. Kobayashi’s file.” Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at Kobayashi Sumiko, whose expression seemed a little unnatural, smiled, and continued, “Although this is reopening old wounds, I want to say that what you’re worried about won’t happen here.”

"Although the students in my class are quite mischievous, none of them dare to act up in front of me."

"So Ms. Kobayashi, don't feel guilty. Just be yourself again."

"Compared to your stern and aloof demeanor, I much prefer your smiling face!"

"What do I look like when I'm smiling?" Kobayashi Sumiko murmured. "I've forgotten when I last smiled."

"Look, this is your smile."

Kitahara Natsuhiro picked up a document from the table, opened it to a page, and showed it to Kobayashi Sumiko.

This page contains Sumiko Kobayashi's file, along with a photograph.

It was a photo of Sumiko Kobayashi. In the photo, she still had a big smile on her face, completely different from how she looks now.

"Is this me?"

Looking at her own photo, Kobayashi Sumiko touched her cheek, feeling as if she had lived through another world.

It seems like she hasn't smiled like that in a long time.

“That’s right, it’s you, Mr. Kobayashi. It’s just that you haven’t smiled in so long that I’ve forgotten.” Kitahara Natsumi’s ears twitched, and he stood up and said, “Also, Mr. Kobayashi, could you please come with me for a moment?”

Although Kobayashi Sumiko didn't know what Kitahara Natsuhiro was going to do, she still followed him.

Kitahara Natsuhiro stood by the window and pointed to a few people on the playground below, saying, "Look, although Conan is not a good fit for the group and hasn't integrated into the class yet, Ayumi and the others are working hard to help him integrate into the group."

"Genta is the same, so Ms. Kobayashi, you don't need to worry too much. Just be yourself!"

As Kobayashi Sumiko watched Genta and the others playing on the playground, the frost on her face began to melt away.

"Teacher Kitahara, thank you for your guidance. I know what I should do from now on!"

Kitahara Natsumi said gently, "I'm very happy to be able to help Kobayashi-sensei resolve her inner conflict."

Sumiko Kobayashi bowed again to express her gratitude.

At the same time, Genta's voice reached his ears again.

"Conan, that's not right!"

"Spare me!" Conan cried out helplessly, but inwardly roared, "Damn men in black, I won't let you get away with this!"
