Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

Yukinoshita casually replied and turned to look at the clear sky outside the window.

She sighed, her tone revealing a complex meaning.

"A...very troublesome person."

Seeing that Xue Zhixia had turned away and said no more, Duan Zilian also wisely refrained from asking further questions.

He simply turned around and poked Hachiman Hikigaya in the back with the ballpoint pen in his hand.

"Hey Hachiman, what did you do during Golden Week?"

"what……?"

Hachiman Hikigaya listlessly tilted his head back and rested the back of his head on the edge of the table, his ahoge almost poking the tip of Rei's nose.

"Don't ask, my unreliable parents suddenly said they wanted to take Komachi on a trip to Okinawa, and I was forced onto the plane as luggage."

"The sunlight over there is so bright, it's practically killing me."

Okinawa?

Duan Zilian's eyes widened, as if she had been stabbed in the chest.

He turned his head to look at Sakuta Azusagawa, who was heading to Enoshima and Kagoshima on the right, then looked ahead at Hikigaya, who was heading to Okinawa, and finally glanced at Yukinoshita, who was heading to Tokyo.

Looking at this group of guys, Duan Zilian clutched her head in grief and indignation.

"What?! After all this time, I'm the only one left in Chiba, being chased around by monsters?!"

He's here protecting the city, while these guys are all enjoying a peaceful vacation somewhere else?!

Well, this is fine too. Besides, isn't this exactly the purpose of his transformation? To ensure they are not harmed by the monster.

The joke warmed my heart just now—

"Duan Zilian! I've heard you screaming like a ghost from way over there!"

Suddenly, a familiar and rude shout came from the front door of the classroom.

Duan Zilian was so startled that she suddenly raised her head.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was leaning against the classroom door frame with her arms crossed, looking at him with a look of disgust mixed with an undisguised smile.

Chapter 72 GUTS

"Wow! Teacher Jing! You're finally back!"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and she shouted happily.

"Great! Hiratsuka-sensei is finally back!"

"Hiratsuka-sensei! In the days you've been gone, I've had to face Teino-sensei's evil face every day. I feel like I'm going to die young!"

The Ministry of Revenue also screamed in agony.

Yumiko Miura scolded him for being spineless, but a relieved smile also appeared on her face.

"Ah, you bunch of brats, you have no idea how worried I was about you..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka strode to the front of the classroom and slammed her lesson plan onto the table with a bang.

She put one hand on her hip and grumbled loudly.

"Those old guys in Tokyo are so annoying! They're so slow, taking so long to discuss such trivial matters, going on and on about psychological intervention for students after the disaster and campus safety systems."

She scratched her hair in frustration.

"I'm stuck in the meeting room all day, too busy to get away! I'd rather drive back and check on my students than waste time in these boring meetings!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately erupted from the audience.

"Alright, quiet!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka patted the blackboard eraser, her expression turning serious.

"When I wasn't in Chiba, this place was in complete chaos! I heard that when that Angel's Gate appeared, the whole city was hypnotized, right?"

Her sharp gaze swept across the classroom.

"Let me ask you, has anyone in our class been hypnotized and gone to the beach in the middle of the night to act like a fool?"

The classroom immediately erupted in noise.

"How is that possible!"

Hu Buxiang patted his chest and loudly boasted about how cleverly he had rescued the person.

Miura, Hayama, Totsuka Saika, and others also looked very confident.

That expression seemed to say, "How could someone as mentally strong as us be hypnotized?"

Only Hina Ebina, sitting in the corner, silently shrank behind her book, pretending to be invisible.

"Great, it seems everyone is in good spirits, and no one is missing an arm or a leg."

"Except for you... Duan Zilian!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly shouted.

"To!"

Duan Zilian shuddered, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at him, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"Duan Zilian, I heard that when you were acting like a fool, you fell headfirst down the stairs and twisted your neck?"

Duan Zilian blushed instantly upon hearing this, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

"Ah, that's one of the charms of a transfer student."

Sakuta Azusagawa calmly fanned the flames from the sidelines.

"Hey, Azusagawa! Nobody thinks you're mute!"

Duan Zilian turned her head and glared angrily, while Azusagawa Sakuta turned his head away and whistled softly.

The whole class burst into laughter.

"Alright! You've had your fun, so get back to reality!"

Hiratsuka Shizuya chuckled and tapped on the lectern, interrupting the boys and girls' commotion.

She picked up the chalk, her expression turning serious.

"Next, I'll talk about a few important things. Although those old men in Tokyo are slow in their meetings, the policies that needed to be introduced have been implemented, and some of their decisions have already begun to affect us."

The noisy classroom fell silent instantly.

"The first thing is about the disaster that is happening near us right now."

She wrote several huge English letters heavily on the blackboard.

TPC and GUTS.

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around and gently tapped the letters on the blackboard with her lesson plan.

"As the news reports say, the era of the original Defense Forces has come to a complete end. The conventional military forces of various countries have been integrated, and all armed forces have been formally incorporated into the Earth Peace Alliance (TPC)."

"This morning, TPC created a special 8-person team—the Victory Team, or GUTS for short—which will become the first line of defense against future supernatural events and monster disasters."

"Furthermore, due to the merger of our two schools, the large number of students, and the various disasters that occur in the vicinity, we have now been designated as a Level 1 key protection and monitoring area of ​​TPC, and GUTS will continue to monitor us."

"So... does that mean...we'll have some big shots protecting us from now on?"

The official in the front row muttered something under his breath.

"So, this week, two members from GUTS will be coming to our school to give a special lecture, and they will also be visiting our classes to communicate and provide guidance. You can ask them any questions you may have then."

Duan Zilian, who was lying on her desk, perked up when she heard this.

The GUTS team members... it'll be good to see who I'll be fighting alongside in the future.

"The second thing."

Hiratsuka Shizuka held up two fingers.

"Next Monday, Sobu High School and Shuchiin Academy will continue to conduct monster disaster prevention and evacuation drills twice a week."

As soon as complaints came from the classroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately silenced them with a stern tone.

"Seriously, all of you! This is a matter of life and death for you! There have been a lot of missing persons cases recently, and with the large number of students after the merger of the two schools, the first exercise next Monday will be supervised by the captain, vice-captain, and team members of GUTS. It will be directly linked to your academic credits."

"You and the Shuchiin student council need to hurry up with the evacuation plan and route planning."

"Yes, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Yukino Yukinoshita responded earnestly.

"Of course, don't do everything by yourself. There are two big guys in the Service Club, aren't there? They may be a bit simple-minded, but they can still do some physical work, right?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze was fixed on Hikigaya and Danji Rei, this ill-fated couple.

"I have no objection..."

Hachiman Hikigaya responded listlessly, and Rei Danzi nodded in agreement.

"very good."

Hiratsuka Shizuka put away her serious expression.

She sighed, her gaze becoming warm and embracing as she slowly swept over the group of vibrant young men and women in the audience.

"Well, as your homeroom teacher, I'd like to say a few more words."

She pointed to the huge bronze statue of Ultraman Tiga in the square outside the window.

"While the statue of Ultraman Tiga is indeed magnificent, I hope you remember not to place your lives entirely in the protection of gods and giants."

She tapped the podium lightly with her fingertips, the sound clear and powerful.

"When danger strikes, don't expect giants to save you at any time. You must protect your own life, understand?!"

"clear--!!"

The whole class responded in unison, their momentum soaring. Even the usually lazy Hachiman Hikigaya and Sakuta Azusagawa unconsciously sat up straight.

Duan Zilian watched Hiratsuka Shizuka leave with great momentum towards the front door, then turned her head to look at Yukino Yukinoshita beside her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"...What a good teacher, Jing is so lovely."

He muttered to himself.

"Duan-kun, if you keep using such a frivolous term of address for Hiratsuka-sensei, be careful that your shoulder might break this afternoon from an 'accidental fall'."

Yukino Yukinoshita, while taking notes with her head down, calmly offered a reminder.

"Haha, just kidding, Minister."

Feeling the chill, Duan Zilian chuckled awkwardly and shrank her neck.

However, just as the passionate atmosphere in the class was reaching its peak...

"Oh, right, I almost forgot one last thing."

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and revealed a devilish smile.

"Don't think that just because a monster has appeared and classes have been suspended for a few days, you can slack off on your studies."

"In the middle of this month, the first joint midterm exam after the merger of the two schools was held as scheduled. The difficulty was doubled, and those who failed had to stay at school for remedial classes on the weekend. Let me see if you have been studying hard lately."

"Huh?!?!"

"You're kidding me! Monsters are at our doorstep and we still have midterms?!"

"How could this be?!"

A wail instantly filled the classroom.

Amidst the wailing and howling, Yukinoshita remained calm and composed, as if the troubles could not affect her in the slightest.

"Sigh... Midterm exams."

Duan Zilian rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the sky outside the window with a deep look in her eyes.

"Oh no, it seems I have no choice but to reveal my true strength this time."
