Hero Sensei: My students are fighting monsters, aliens, and mysterious organizations~ Vol. 1 - Chapter 7

The next day, Aookuji ca to school as if nothing had happened. I went to work the sa way.

After morning horoom ended, she ca up to and thanked , saying, “Thank you for last night.”

“Ah, you’re welco, I guess. What’s up all of a sudden?”

“No, I just realized afterward that I never thanked you.”

The dark-haired girl had a an-looking face, typical of the exemplary honor students around here.

“It’s normal for teachers to help their students. You don’t have to be so formal about it. Is it necessary to thank ?”

As a teacher, I’m still not very good at handling these situations. I don’t know what the right thing to say is.

"Yes. And also, you may hear from my household later. My master seems to be interested too."

“Hmm, okay. I’ll be sure to respond when I hear from them.” I replied, and Aookuji looked a little relieved as she returned to her seat.

Last night, we had parted with a loose agreent to keep each other in the dark. I knew she would talk to her family or her 'ntor' or whatever, and of course, they would be intrigued.

The problem is that it would be troubling if it turned into a complaint like, "I can't leave my daughter with a substitute horoom teacher who is a pervert who calls himself a 'Hero.'" ...or would they be grateful?

At the sa ti, if I tell anyone, I’ll be treated like a crazy person, and since I’m obliged to keep it confidential, I have no intention of revealing anything. The question is whether or not I should report it to Ms. Yamashiro, the assistant head of the grade…

“Aiba-sensei, you seem to be in a daze a lot today. You must be tired,” Ms. Yamashiro said to after school when I was being instructed on a subject.

“Um, yes. There’s sothing that’s been bothering .”

"Oh, you an your students?”

The beautiful assistant head of staff flirtatiously turned to . I knew she was pointlessly sexy.

“I’m sure you’re right. I just ca across a situation that I couldn’t quite understand and didn’t know what to do.”

"Hehe, girls do that sort of thing from ti to ti. Is it a student from class 1?"

“Yes, it’s Miss Aookuji. ……”

As I said that, Ms. Yamashiro’s eyes narrowed, and her expression seed lost for a mont.

Ah, so you do know after all. Judging from your reaction, it seems like you're treating it pretty seriously. Well, that makes sense.

“What was Miss Aookuji doing?”

"The other night, I saw her fighting sothing with what looked like a Katana. When I talked to her after it was over, she told that she ca from a family that does things like that. What should I do?"

“…… That’s not very calming, is it? I think we should talk to the principal right away. Would you mind coming with for a mont?”

Ms. Yamashiro quickly got up from her seat.

Obviously, the principal knows about this. I wonder what she's going to say. She won't suddenly erase my mory or anything... right?

When I went to the principal's office, I was made to sit on a reception set as if I were being interrogated by both the principal and Ms. Yamashiro.

The powerful lineup of a beautiful actress-type woman in front and a bewitching beauty on the left was quite tough for a forr hero who had spent most of his life in battle.

As I shrank in my seat, the principal spoke with a rather stiff expression.

“Mr. Aiba, could you describe again what you saw?”

“Ah, yes. A few days ago, when I went out shopping at night, I saw soone who looked like Miss Aookuji. It was nightti, so I thought I couldn’t just ignore it, so I followed her. Suddenly, she started fighting with a strange animal that appeared out of nowhere. I didn’t know what to do, and the fight ended. Then I talked to her, and she told that she was from a family that exterminates monsters. ……”

“I see, so you heard it directly from Aookuji herself. Have you told anyone else about it?”

“Of course not. It’s a matter that concerns a student's privacy."

I thought to myself, ‘as I thought, this isn’t really a privacy issue, is it?’ But the principal said, “That’s the right call,” so I guess it was the right decision.

“So, how should a teacher respond in a case like this?”

Feeling a little relieved, I imdiately asked a question. I didn’t want to get into too much detail about the facts. I was stalking her, after all.

“First of all, I ask that you not tell anyone about what you saw, Mr. Aiba. Even if you did tell anyone, I doubt anyone would believe you.”

Then the principal laughed. Being a mysterious beauty also suits her.

"I would also like you to know that Miss. Aookuji cos from a family that hunts monsters and that she does in fact hunt monsters, which is known by so of the faculty at our school. In other words, she is hunting monsters with the school's approval. Therefore, there is no need for you, Mr. Aiba, to give her any particular guidance."

“Haa……”

"You may not agree, but please understand that there are many things in this world that ordinary people do not know. Of course, I am not soone who knows everything either. I would like to ask you to continue doing your best as the temporary horoom teacher of Class 2-1, Mr. Aiba. Am I clear?”

I see, so they are going to get over it without delving too deeply into it.

Well, I guess that would be better for too, I think.

“…I understand. I don’t want to lose my job either, so I will continue to devote myself to my duties as before.”

She didn’t say anything like ‘…if I told anyone about Aookuji, I would be severely punished for violating confidentiality,’ but I wanted to let her know that I understood that.

The principal smiled as if she understood that too. Ms. Yamashiro sighed in relief beside her.

"That's fine. Please treat Miss Aookuji the sa way you would treat a normal student. Oh yes, I heard from Ms. Yamashiro that you're surprisingly very calm, considering you're a first-ti teacher. I have high expectations for you.”

“Thank you very much. I will do my best to live up to your expectations.”

So, for the ti being, it seems there is no need to do anything about Aookuji.

However, seeing how dire the situation was yesterday, I can’t help but feel that doing nothing would be a bad idea…
