Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Dong Run also: "..."

I always feel like I'm being taken advantage of by my younger brother, especially since we don't have a father. Shouldn't the older brother be the one the younger brother likes and admires the most?

But this guy, Takeshi Ya, who is obviously cosplaying as Ultraman Ace's human form, is really handsome, and his words are always so pleasant.

I can't win this fight, damn it!

Run was so disappointed that he bent forward, his expression turning somber.

Sigh, loser, sigh, cuckold.

However, the enthusiastic Higashi Naoki didn't bother to look at his brother's defeated appearance; he was already dreaming about the future!

Then, the next morning, Naoki Higashi couldn't wait to get up, and with a piece of bread in his mouth, he practically ran all the way to school.

From that day on, he was no longer the aloof academic star and class monitor in the eyes of his classmates, but wandered among them, made friends, learned about the difficulties of some people, and cooperated with Mr. Ya's home visit schedule.

Within a month, Ya De Meng completed home visits to all the students.

Home visits are conducted simultaneously at both schools. Each day, I visit one student from the class I am responsible for at each of the two primary schools, visiting one school at a time before moving on to the other.

He provided financial assistance to families whose financial difficulties affected their tuition fees.

He would gently advise parents whose educational approaches were problematic—because the remaining parents at most had minor issues, and finally, there were no more parents as indescribable as Kuze's mother, Kirasaka's mother, or Mrs. Higashi.

Those minor issues can be discussed properly and reasoned with each other. It won't make Shi get so angry that he directly scolds him. After all, he's not that kind of person.

During this time, Marina Kirisaka went to work with Shoya Ishida, hoping to use the money she earned to apologize to Shizuka Kuze. She would bow and apologize to Shizuka Kuze every day without fail.

Although Shizuka Kuze never accepted her apology.

Within a month, Yato Takeshi completely reversed the problems in the two elementary schools and earned the complete trust of the students in both classes.

Then, the remaining two weeks passed quickly in preparation for the cultural festival. Although the strange earthquakes became more and more frequent during the preparation process, fortunately, they did not affect the preparation.

then.

The lottery for the first joint cultural festival between Nishinomiya Shoko Elementary School and Nishinomiya Shoko Elementary School is about to begin!

Volume 1: 499. It is the fierce arrow, and also Ultraman Ace! (Part 1)

499. It is the fierce arrow, and also Ultraman Ace! (Part 1)

"The opening ceremony of the first joint cultural festival of Sakura Elementary School and Sakuraoka Elementary School is now beginning! Please give a round of applause!"

*Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap!*

The enthusiastic applause was so loud that it drowned out the celebratory cannons that the two principals had specially purchased to fire together. Students and teachers from both sides mingled together, inseparable, clapping and cheering continuously.

"I've never seen such a lively ceremony in all my years of teaching."

"That stingy principal actually allocated so much funding this time! The new principal of that elementary school is also very generous; I heard he even contributed some of his own money. This kind of extravagant cultural festival is probably comparable to those famous elite schools in Tokyo!"

"No way, they have a whole bunch of drones, and they even invite Olympic gold medalists to be the referees."

"Ahem, I was just using an example... Besides, we're not doing badly here either. Although only Mr. Ya said he wanted to record all the children's childhood and adolescence and bought a drone, we still have one, right?"

"Besides, with Ya's teacher's name and appearance, you could practically round him up to Ultraman Ace. Isn't that a much bigger name than a mere Olympic gold medalist?"

"Haha, you little rascal, I think you should just become a comedian!"

Several teachers who were talking burst into laughter. Hearing the commotion and their names mentioned, Yato Takeshi, beaming with excitement, smiled and waved at them. The other teachers waved back and laughed in return.

They weren't afraid of being overheard, because this wasn't some backbiting, but rather proof that everyone cared about from this Mr. Yagi.

Now, more than two months have passed since the other party arrived at the school. Everyone has been impressed by Mr. Yato's enthusiasm, his fearless attitude towards difficulties and troubles, and his lively demeanor of extending a helping hand to all students as if he lived in a fairy tale.

Although at the beginning, many teachers looked at him as if he were a fool.

But now, the impact of the other party's actions on both schools is real and tangible, and everyone can feel it. Even the older, more jaded teachers have to admit that teaching in this environment has made them feel more relaxed and happy every day.

One of the teachers whispered, "Mr. Yato Takeshi is very popular."

“After all, it’s him,” another teacher nodded. “But it’s not just him. Look, Takeuchi-sensei is becoming more and more popular with the kids lately. I never expected that he would be so influenced. In the past month or so, he has become a completely different person in terms of how responsible he is towards his students.”

"To be honest, I'm a little jealous of the two of them."

The unshaven teacher stroked his chin and clicked his tongue. "Alright, since that's the case, I'll get motivated too. During the three-day cultural festival, I'll patrol everywhere every day and show them that I'm not just here to do nothing!"

"You've rolled it up, Ms. Shinno." Another female teacher covered her mouth and chuckled, muttering lazily, "I'm different. I'm very lazy. I don't have that much motivation."

This is a lie.

A week ago, Ms. Takeuchi was in her office grading students' homework late one day and happened to see her secretly learning to make balloon animals, muttering to herself that she would give them away for free to the children at the cultural festival.

"You're already in a state of intense competition, yet you're trying to fool others into not participating? Kujo-sensei, you're so despicable!"

Fortunately, Mr. Takeuchi got involved much earlier than these guys. Although he couldn't win over the students in Nishimiya Shoko's class, since those guys only recognized Yato Takeshi now, in other classes, Mr. Takeuchi had already made much progress compared to all the other teachers!

Hmph, a good teacher who comes in second place? Can anyone compete with me for this honor?

He, Takeuchi, is already invincible in the Sakura Elementary School world, hehehe. Taking advantage of this cultural festival, he also wants to let the students of Sakuraoka Elementary School feel his love!

Since making a promise with Yagi Takeshi, I've started trying to be a responsible and good teacher.

Although he didn't receive any special feedback in the first week or two, the subtle changes in the way each student looked at him and their adorable way of acting cute when they encountered problems made him discover more and more every day...

It turns out that deep down, I might also dream of becoming a good teacher!

"Wow, the teacher is really fired up, she's about to burst into flames! So embarrassing, she's such a grown-up, yet she's even more excited for the festival than we are!"

"Hmph, kid, what do you know? This is a crucial battle, we can't be careless. If you dare to misbehave or accidentally lose anything, I'll be the first to grab you and give you a lecture!"

"Takeuchi-sensei is going berserk! Everyone run! Waaaaah!"

Led by Ishida Shoya, the children rushed over to Mr. Yagi Takeshi with great joy, circling around him, eager to grab his hand and crowding around him.

The collaborative cultural festival has begun!

Seeing Ishida Shoya running around aimlessly, Yato Takeshi grabbed him with his big hand and instantly subdued him, making him sit on his neck. He looked around at the surroundings from a height greater than that of an adult, exclaiming in amazement without stopping.

The school, which is usually very spacious, is now bustling with people, and various stalls are set up everywhere. Naoka Ueno called out to Takeshi Yagami: "Teacher! Would you like to have your fortune told?"

"Fortune telling?" Takeshi Ya turned around at the invitation, asking curiously, "Is it tarot cards?"

"Hmph, that's too unoriginal. You'll definitely be surprised. Give it a try, teacher!"

Naoka Ueno grumbled and stood with her hands on her hips, but she was so proud that she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Really? I'm looking forward to it. Let's give it a try. How do we do it?"

"Well, here are eighty-nine cards. Teacher, you can just pick a number."

"Hmm... how about eighty? How about eighty?"

"Okay, then let's use the eightieth card!"

Naoka Ueno initially acted in a seemingly unrelated manner, merely going through the motions, closing her eyes and moving her hands while muttering some mystical phrases copied from the internet while facing a crystal ball she had bought.

Then, with great effort, he shuffled the eighty-nine cards haphazardly over and over again, counting them one by one, and drew the eightieth card in a flash, as if drawing a card in a very cool way. "Okay, let me see—ah, it's the teacher's favorite thing! What a coincidence!"

"My favorite thing?" Ya tilted his head, he didn't even know what he liked the most.

But immediately, he understood why Naoka Ueno said that, because she turned over the card she had drawn, and what caught Yagi's eye was a card of Ultraman Ace.

"Teacher, you're really lucky! Well, although I put this in because I had considered this possibility, I only put in one. The rest are landscape paintings, bird and animal paintings, tarot cards, and good and bad omens, etc., which I've heard have various meanings. You're such a good teacher!"

Naoka Ueno's eyes sparkled, and because of a strange coincidence, her admiration for her teacher reached a new level.

"Uh, is it really that bad luck..." Yato Takeshi wanted to facepalm. At least it should be a little bit bad luck, right? Isn't "major bad luck" a bit too much?

"Teacher!" Not far from the fortune-telling stall was a takoyaki stall. The stall owner's father ran a legitimate mobile takoyaki stall. When I visited his home before, I had eaten his father's takoyaki, and it was delicious. "Come and try my cooking, teacher, it's free!"

"That won't do. The teacher has to support your skills. Two hundred yen, right? Okay, put it in the money box."

Ya strode over and, in one swift motion, finished off Takoyaki before she could even refuse. All she could do was scream "Ahhh!" before turning her grief and indignation into motivation: "Alright, since that's how it is, teacher, don't blame me. Look at my super-sized takoyaki, yayahahahahah!"

As for how it tastes?

All I can say is that if Takoyaki's dad were here today and ate these, he would definitely be moved to tears. The family's secret recipe has a successor!

Ishida Shoya's performance was even worse, chewing the whole time: "Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious! Ah, Shifuku, ah, teacher, why did you take the food away? I'm not full yet!"

"There are so many delicious things to eat today, it would be a waste to eat only one kind of food," Yato Takeshi said, somewhat amused. "Besides, I also want Shoko and Shizuka to try some, so I can't let you eat it all by yourself."

"I haven't found out what those two guys, Kuze and Sho, said, but Sho... oh, there she is, I saw her!"

Taking advantage of his superior altitude, Ishida Shoya looked around and quickly locked onto his target. He pointed out a location and excitedly shouted from afar, "Hey, what are you guys doing?" before Yato Takeshi even got there.

Miyoko Sahara was just about to play her last card when she had a chance to reply. She saw Takeshi Yagami and waved with a big smile, saying, "Teacher, we're having a super board game solitaire competition. Want to join in?"

Most board games require listening to others and occasionally speaking yourself. Although you can choose not to speak, they still demand a high level of listening comprehension.

Normally, Nishimiya Shoko has no hearing problems while wearing hearing aids, but now that there are so many people at the cultural festival and it's so noisy everywhere, her hearing aids aren't working properly.

Because this was considered early on, some students decided early on that the only board game used in the unlimited board game relay competition was UNO, which requires neither listening to nor speaking; you can act simply by watching.

This board game starts with each player receiving four or five cards, each card having a specific color and a number from 0 to 9.

Then the first person throws out a card, and so on. If the second person has a card of the same color or number as the card thrown out by the first person—as long as either of these two conditions is met—they can throw out a card, and then it's the third person's turn.

If you don't have the same card, you have to get an extra card as a penalty.

The player who plays all their cards first wins, and the player who plays all their cards last loses.

Therefore, even Nishimiya Shoko can enjoy this board game. She only needs to see what cards others play to follow suit. There are no obstacles, and she can truly join in the fun with everyone.

The choice of board games that took such good care of Shoko wasn't even part of Takeshi Ya's decision; it was a spontaneous choice made by the students themselves. This was quite different from before, as they considered other people's situations and made choices that satisfied both sides.

This super board game relay competition starts with six people randomly selected. When someone wins, others are randomly selected to fill the gap. This continues until the festival ends on the third day. Then we'll see who's unlucky enough to lose to the end among so many people.

Then, each person is limited to one appearance. Once they arrive and win, they sign their name.

There would also be people on the sidelines calculating who, besides the unlucky one who was the last to lose over the three days, was the unluckiest to persist in playing cards the longest in the game.

It's clear that neither Miyoko Sahara nor Shoko Nishimiya were unlucky; the former was the first to win, and the latter was the second.

This was Nishimiya Shoko's first time playing a multiplayer game like this. She was very happy with this fun board game, and she clenched her little fists and cheered when she won.

Reminded by Miyoko Sahara, she turned her head and saw Takeshi Yagami. She immediately gave a quiet smile and made a peace sign that she would never have done before: "Teacher, would you like to come?"

Although her intonation would still be very distorted and funny if she spoke in full now, as long as she speaks slowly and word by word, Nishimiya Shoko's intonation is already almost the same as that of an ordinary person.

"Okay, then the teacher will join in too. Watch closely, the big devil is coming to blow up the fishpond, beep beep beep beep beep~"

Yashiro, of course, wouldn't spoil the children's fun. Besides, he also thought the game was really good. It had no violence or negative elements, making it a great form of entertainment for students who were already friends, and it could also connect students who weren't familiar with each other.
