I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

"In Tomie's dream, I entered her high school timeline. Does that mean that if I successfully prevent Tomie from committing suicide, I can bring her out of the dream?"

Yoshizaki Kawa's heart skipped a beat. If that's all there is to it, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Because of his time abroad, he was not naive at all, but rather cunning.

At the same time, Tomie seemed to sense that someone was watching her. She looked at Yoshizaki Kawa, and when she saw the smile on his face that resembled that of an elder to a junior, she frowned slightly, and the name of the guy in front of her quickly popped into her mind.

Yoshizaki's gaze involuntarily turned over, and when he saw that familiar figure, a slight smile appeared on his face.

In reality, Rie Moriya has been with Tomie Kawakami since high school.

In her dream, she no longer had her best friend, Rie Moriya.

So when she saw Yoshizaki's strange smile, Tomie, who was already annoyed because of that idiot's confession when she came out of the library, snorted and left quickly.

This is also the kind of person Tomie dislikes the most—

but--

When Yoshizaki realized that all he needed to do was stop Tomie from committing suicide so he could take her out of this world, he went with the flow and stopped resisting. Now, when he saw Tomie, he was no longer anxious.

Yoshizaki Kawa was one of the most ordinary and average students in the class, whose grades were neither good nor bad.

You have plenty of room to maneuver!

With that thought in mind, Yoshizaki quickly dressed, stood in front of the mirror, and tidied his appearance.

Yoshizaki Kawa, who actually studied abroad, was quite conflicted because he grew up in a poor area, suffered from school bullying, and had a hypocritical personality. He looked honest, but actually had a ruthless look in his eyes.

Before he could even express his feelings, a tall figure suddenly emerged from the library ahead.

Stepping out of the dormitory, the sky was clear and blue. People were still running on the green track of the playground, and pairs of boys were playing basketball. On a chair to the side, girls were reading and teasing each other.

"so good."

At that moment, he only found the latter somewhat cute.

At the same time, I compared my current appearance with that of a young person when I was studying abroad, with a youthful and shy face.

Seeing this scene, Yoshizaki couldn't help but think back to his high school days.

Seeing Kawakami Tomie snort and leave, Yoshizaki Kawa felt no resentment; he knew Tomie's personality.

According to her memories in reality, Tomie would have committed suicide by cutting her wrists out of guilt after the man who was pursuing her killed her childhood friend. However, in her current memories, the male classmate who killed her childhood friend is still pursuing Tomie and has not yet done so.

But in reality, this is probably what Tomie imagined Yoshizaki River to be.

Thinking of this, Yoshizaki Kawa stood up from the flower bed and slowly walked towards the classroom in front.

As he walked into the classroom, he glanced at the students inside. Although Yoshizaki didn't recognize any of them, their names naturally came to mind.

These are all memories that Tomie gave herself.

After finding his seat and sitting down, Yoshizaki was about to glance at Tomie when his deskmate tugged at his sleeve.

"I've noticed you've been staring at Kawakami Tomie all day. You haven't fallen for her too, have you? Let me tell you, even though she's a new student, she's already been targeted by an upperclassman. That guy is academically gifted and supposedly very capable. Someone confessed to Tomie before, and he ended up getting beaten up by his gang!"

The boy's voice was very soft; in the noisy classroom, the others could barely hear him.

"So, I advise you to give up and stop trying to pursue Tomie. She's not someone like us can afford to pursue. You'll just get beaten up!"

"Well, I see."

Yoshizaki never intended to pursue Kawakami Tomie in this dream; he'd already raised his favorability rating enough in reality, right?

Seeing Yoshizaki's absent-minded attitude, the male classmate sighed slightly. He knew that this guy was really into it.

But that's normal. Who wouldn't fall for such a beautiful woman?

If the person who was beaten hadn't happened to be my cousin, I probably wouldn't have believed it either.

A moment later, the math teacher came to give the lesson. Although Yoshizaki had already graduated, he still listened to the lecture with great interest.

However, this math teacher's level is a bit lacking. I don't know if this is how the teacher is in Tomie's dream, or if this is reality.

When this guy lectures, he just reads from the textbook. Even when there are better solutions, he just follows complicated formulas.

Although he was inwardly complaining, Yoshizaki Kawa didn't say much.

After listening for a while, Yoshizaki Kawa, feeling bored, started idly drawing circles and dots on his notebook, intending to do some of the problems in his textbook.

After about ten minutes, the bald, bespectacled math teacher seemed to notice that he was distracted, so he said with a forced smile:

"Yoshizaki Kawa, please stand up and repeat what the teacher just said."

"I was doing my homework and didn't hear you."

Because of his experience as a teacher, Yoshizaki has the respect due to these kinds of instructors.

"Doing practice problems? I haven't even taught you these problems yet, why are you doing them?"

Tomie, watching the argument from behind, remembered that this classmate was always timid and had never spoken to a teacher in such a tone.

Recalling the strange smile Yoshizaki had given her earlier, she frowned slightly.

Does he think he can get my attention this way?

Thinking about this, Tomie's impression of the classmate in front of her worsened.

"No, teacher, I was just doing it randomly. I wrote it with a pencil. I can erase it later."

Yoshizaki chuckled awkwardly, preparing to erase the answers from his textbook, when the teacher walked straight down and snatched the book from his hand.

He then looked at it more closely, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.

Because of his clean and efficient problem-solving methods, some of which he himself couldn't have come up with.

A hint of shock flashed in his eyes as he looked at Yoshizaki.

"How...how did you come up with all this? We haven't even learned this formula yet, how did you know it?"

"I just did some random thinking during the summer vacation."

Yoshizaki didn't really want to attract Tomie's attention in her dream, as it might lead to unexpected problems, since he was an outsider and not a classmate who already existed in her mind.

Her own identity was also arranged by her dream to make it more reasonable.

What if she remembers that I don't exist and kicks me out of the dream?

Now, Yoshizaki just wants to wait for the right time to save Tomie.

however--

The teacher in front of him clearly wasn't going to give him a chance to keep a low profile, as he raised Yoshizaki Kawa's textbook.

"The teacher's explanation was a bit complicated, so I'll use Yoshizaki Kawa's textbook to explain the problem again."

Tomie's gaze toward Yoshizaki Kawakami was slightly different now.

She dislikes pretentious mystification, but she is somewhat interested in those who have real strength.

Before that incident, Tomie's grades, while not particularly good, were still quite decent.

Chapter 192 Your name is Yoshizaki Kawa, and you have a childhood friend named Kayako.

竹马

When the outstanding students saw the boy who was originally unremarkable in the class responding to the teacher so calmly, they couldn't help but gasp in shock. This kid was terrifying!

You should know that before, the bald teacher, who was known as the math demon, was considered one of the most terrifying taboos in the school, along with the English teacher who looked like he had walked out of hell.

Under their control, no matter how talented a person is, they will find it difficult to escape their clutches and will basically be punished by copying or standing in the corner.

But today, this guy actually left the teacher speechless, and even used his textbook as his lesson plan.

Could it be——

Was this person deliberately hiding his talents before, just so he could suddenly make a name for himself now?

Not only the outstanding students at the front, but even the mediocre students at the back, were extremely shocked when they saw that seemingly invincible figure, and even felt a sense of awe and reverence.

As is customary, when a teacher is in a bad mood, they may ask questions after a certain point in the question.

The next step will be to target students with poor grades, and then the class will be plunged into a bloodbath!

However, the devilish math teacher was actually defeated by the guy in front of him using the legendary, supreme problem-solving method that only the most outstanding students could use.

At this moment, that seemingly frail figure appeared like a towering tree to the sky in front of the underachievers behind him, blocking the dark turmoil brought by the demonic teacher.

Yoshizaki suddenly felt that the other students were looking at him strangely, and subconsciously looked behind him.

When he saw Tomie's interested gaze, he paused for a moment, realizing something was wrong.

If Tomie pays attention to me like this, this sense of incongruity will eventually kick me out.

He had to act like an ordinary person. Thinking of this, Yoshizaki Kawakawa smiled smugly, as if showing off his abilities in front of Kawakami Tomie.

The next moment, he froze on the spot.

Yoshizaki felt a little strange. In reality, this was something he would say to someone else.

He simply felt he had nothing to do, because although he didn't know how much time had passed outside—presumably not much—in this dream, a class was a real class.

Of course, showing off was not Yoshizaki's intention.
