Chapter 1: The Detective World
Tokyo, Beika Town.
The afternoon sun spilled across the front of the convenience store on the corner, and the glass door threw back a harsh glare.
“Business is booming!”
The convenience store owner lit up the moment he saw Sinan Hanyu push the door open, and he eagerly pulled a ten-thousand-yen bill from the register and handed it over.
“Mr. Yamada, thanks for your hard work.”
“If anything comes up, just call me.”
Sinan Hanyu gave a slight nod, took the money, and turned to leave the store.
He lifted his gaze to the deep blue sky, his eyes distant.
Three months ago, a big truck had sent him to this world, and he had become a landlord in Beika Town, Tokyo, living every day off the rent he collected.
But he had another, more important secret: the system.
On the first day of his transmigration, something called the “system” had appeared in his mind. The only problem was that its loading speed was maddeningly slow, crawling forward at just 1% per day.
For more than three months, he had waited patiently like that.
And now, the system’s loading progress had finally reached 99%.
“10... 9... 8...”
Sinan Hanyu silently counted down in his mind.
When the number jumped to “1” and paused briefly-
[Ding-]
A crisp, bright metallic chime suddenly exploded in his mind, as if a bronze bell had been struck deep in his soul. His whole body jolted, and his spirits snapped instantly awake.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully transmigrating to the Detective World!]
[System loading complete!]
[System name: Teach the Way, Impart Knowledge, Educate and Cultivate People!]
[Host's current identity: English teacher and homeroom teacher for Year 2 at Teitan Academy.]
[Loading English skill pack for the host...]
One mechanical yet solemn voice after another rang out, making Sinan Hanyu's scalp tingle faintly.
Wait... what world was this?
Detective?!
He instinctively looked around, his gaze sweeping over the pedestrians on the street, the buildings in the distance, and even the air itself, which seemed to carry a faint trace of murderous intent.
[Ding-]
[English skill pack loaded!]
In an instant, Sinan Hanyu felt a vast flood of knowledge forcibly shoved into his brain. The sense of fullness and tingling was so intense that he almost let out a low groan.
Everything related to English-grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, cultural background, teaching methods... all of it filled his mind in a single breath.
Although the system hadn't given him detailed instructions, the four words “teach the way,” “impart knowledge,” “teach,” and “educate” had already made his future path perfectly clear.
He looked down at the ten-thousand-yen bill he had just collected, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“Mm... it's time to say goodbye to the life of a landlord.”
From now on, he was a teacher.
...
Teitan Academy, Year 2, Class B.
“Ran! Did you hear?”
“We're getting a new English teacher soon, and he's going to be our homeroom teacher too!”
“I heard he's a young man.”
“Oh! I really hope he's a tall, handsome hunk!”
“Please don't let it be a balding old man, or English class will be torture.”
Sonoko Suzuki rested her chin on both hands, her eyes shining, already completely lost in her own fantasies. If she could start a romantic, thrilling teacher-student affair with this new teacher, that would be perfect.
“Sonoko!”
Ran Mori said with a laugh, giving her a shove. “Can you stop being such a hopeless flirt?”
“Hmph, how is that being a hopeless flirt?” Sonoko pouted in dissatisfaction. “If guys came up to me every time I stepped outside like they do to you, I wouldn't spend all day draped over my desk making up fantasies.”
“Oh, right!”
She suddenly brightened and leaned in close to Ran with a wicked grin.
“Ran, I’ve got something good to show you! I already sent it to your phone!”
Ran looked at Sonoko's expression and immediately felt a bad premonition, but curiosity still pushed her to open her phone.
The moment she tapped the video, the screen showed a woman's pale, full ass, followed immediately by a man's thick cock driving hard into her.
“...!”
Ran's breathing instantly turned chaotic, and she almost reflexively switched her phone to silent as her cheeks flushed bright red.
“Sonoko! Y-you're watching this kind of stuff?!”
“Hehe, it's nothing, really.” Sonoko couldn't help laughing at Ran's flustered reaction. “I dug it out of my sister's phone.”
Just then, there was a stir at the classroom door.
“The new English teacher is here!”
The lively classroom instantly fell silent. Everyone straightened up and turned their eyes toward the door in unison.
Ran and Sonoko quickly put away their phones and put on the obedient posture of model students, though their heartbeats had already quickened without them realizing it.
The sliding classroom door was slowly pulled open.
Everyone's gaze locked onto the figure about to appear.
