Anime: Desolate Darkness

Sobu High School is a key high school with the highest deviation value in Chiba Prefecture.

The students' uniforms are Western-style.

Men and women wear dark suits with silver trim, two silver buttons, a white shirt inside, and brown leather shoes.

The difference is that the boys wear dark trousers, while the girls wear blue plaid wheel-pleated skirts, and they also wear red ties at their collars.

The shape of the school building is a bit strange. If you look down from above, it looks a bit like the Chinese character "口".

Next to the road is the teaching building, and opposite is the special building. On the second floor, corridors connect the two buildings to form a quadrangle. The space surrounded by these four sides is the holy place for modern students - the atrium.

During the lunch break, boys and girls ate lunch together. After school, they talked about love with the school building at sunset as the background, and bathed in the sea breeze and looked up at the stars.

After parking the car in the parking lot on campus, Kimura Takumi went straight to the teaching building because the principal's office was on the third floor of the teaching building.

On the way, both new and old students were attracted by Kimura Takumi's outstanding appearance.

"Hey, do you think that could be the teacher?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it's a student's parent."

"But today is the official opening day of school. Aren't parents not allowed to enter the campus? They are only allowed to drop off their children at the gate."

"I know, that's why I'm not sure. After all, she's such a young teacher."

"This guy is so tall, he looks almost 1.9 meters tall!"

...

Most girls are attracted by his looks, while most boys are shocked by his height.

The discussions around him had no effect on Kimura Takumi. He walked forward calmly as if he was in an empty space.

Even if he met some familiar characters on the road, he would just glance at them. Although he was happy in his heart, he did not show it on the surface because he had expected everything.

In the principal's office, the principal was very happy to see Kimura Takumi's arrival.

He is also a graduate of the University of Tokyo, and was even a former student of Ryunosuke Ichisuke. Now, looking at the person recommended by his old teacher, he feels very close to him.

"Hello again, junior."

The principal stood up with a smile on his face, walked out of his seat and held the other person's right hand with both hands.

"I'm going to trouble you next. Please give me your guidance."

Kimura Takumi responded with a chuckle.

"Same here, you are the most outstanding junior I have ever seen. It is my honor to have you serve here."

It is not easy to get into the University of Tokyo, let alone that Kimura Takumi graduated with unprecedented excellent results in just two years.

The principal, who was over 40 years old, smiled honestly. He patted the other person on the shoulder while talking and sighed: "No matter which time we meet, I will be shocked."

After all, tall people are not common here, and the principal himself is only as tall as Kimura Takumi's shoulders.

Next, the principal pulled Kimura Takumi to sit on the sofa and began to brag to him about his glorious deeds in college.

Since Kimura Takumi had nothing to do, he simply accompanied the other person and acted as a listener, only nodding or responding with a "hmm" after the other person finished each paragraph.

Even so, the principal's cheerful mood remained unchanged but increased.

He is old now and now is the era of young people. How could he not be happy if there is a younger generation who can patiently listen to his nagging?

But the good times didn't last long, and before long it was almost 8 o'clock.

Kimura Takumi did not remind the other party and let him continue talking.

Although the principal is old, he is not so old as to ignore time.

"Junior, no, it's time for Mr. Kimura to go to the classroom, so I won't disturb you." The principal said solemnly.

"I'm not disturbing you. I'm very happy to hear you. I hope I'll have the honor to hear you again next time."

Hearing this, the principal froze in his tracks and was stunned for a moment.

After realizing what was going on, he couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, Mr. Kimura really knows how to talk. Even a grown man like me is happy to hear you. I can't imagine how many little girls would not be able to resist the temptation if you did that to those students."

He seemed very happy, but there was something else behind his words.

Kimura Takumi slowly stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the door and opened it, he turned back and said, "Principal, you are too polite."

……

Grade 1, Class D, inside the classroom.

It's already eight o'clock, the teacher hasn't arrived yet, and most of the students are still chatting happily.

Some of them had just met, and some were junior high school or elementary school classmates.

Although there are some lonely students who lie on the table alone because they can't find their friends, it does not prevent the classroom from being noisy.

"Hey, hey, tell me, is the head teacher coming over soon a man or a woman?"

Kitagawa Umi had just made friends with three beautiful girls. They formed a small group and gathered together, talking about everything from makeup to the teacher.

"Eh? This one? I guess it's a female one."

A cheerful woman with narrow eyes and a large round earring in each ear answered.

But just as she finished speaking, a naughty girl with cute twin ponytails and a lollipop in her mouth immediately retorted: "No, no, Dakong's blind guessing like this doesn't have any technical content at all."

"Eh? Why did Nouha say that?"

Seeing that Sugaya Noha denied Daisora's guess, Ryune, who had been silent all this time, became confused.

I have to say, girls’ view on making friends is really weird. The four of them have known each other for less than an hour, yet they are already calling each other by their first names.

"Because from what I can judge, it's already 8:05 and the teacher hasn't arrived yet. He looks like a slow middle-aged man!"

Sugaya Noha shook her fingers and said confidently.

But how can there be such preconceived ideas?

However, because I was a little late and didn't know the truth, I gave the other party this kind of evaluation.

But being late is wrong no matter what, and even if Kimura Kyo heard this, she would definitely not care.

"It seems a bit..."

Kitagawa Umi was just about to praise the other party for his reasonableness, but at this moment the front door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open, and the unusual sound attracted the attention of the students.

The classroom suddenly became quiet, and all the students looked towards the door, only to see a handsome man with a faint smile on his face walking in.

A variety of strange gazes mixed together and fell on Kimura Takumi, but he was not deterred and walked to the podium after closing the front door.

After a while, the sound of chalk sliding across the blackboard was heard in the silent classroom.

After writing his name, Kimura Takumi turned around and faced everyone.

"My name is Kimura Takumi, I'm your homeroom teacher, I'm 21 years old, graduated from the University of Tokyo, my hobby is listening to stories, I'm glad to meet you all, please give me your guidance in the future."

After saying this, he bowed slightly.

Every move of Kimura Takumi astonished many students.

As he finished his self-introduction, a burst of exclamations broke out in the classroom.

! ! ! ! !

"Is this true?! This handsome guy is our homeroom teacher?!"

"Only 21?! So young!"

"That's right! The teacher is not even as old as my sister!"

...

The male students' voices were basically suppressed by the group of excited female voices and could not be heard at all.

At this moment, in addition to the noise, Kimura Takumi noticed a hidden gaze.

Looking around, he followed the source and saw a girl with long pink hair, Goto Ichiri, lying on the table in the corner of the back row.

!

The collision of their eyes made Goto Ichiri's pupils tremble, and she suddenly buried her cheek in her crossed arms.

'What should I do?! The teacher seems to have noticed that I was peeking! Will he think I'm a pervert?! No, no! This wasn't peeking at all! I was clearly following everyone's gaze. But, but, it seems that I'm the only one who looks sneaky?! ...'

It was just a normal eye contact, but Goto Ichiri was actually in trouble.
