Chapter 2: Ran Mori Caught Watching a Video in Class

The door opened!

Sinan Hanyu made his official entrance.

With his handsome, sharp features and neatly cropped black hair, he stood over six feet tall.

In that instant...

A look of surprise and delight spread across the faces of the girls in Teitan Academy's Year 2 Class B.

"Ran... look."

Sonoko Suzuki jabbed Ran Mori excitedly with her elbow.

What had she said?!

She'd had a strong feeling from the start that the new English teacher was going to be a total stud.

And sure enough!

Her heart was racing...

It felt as if a romance straight out of a novel was already reaching out to her.

"Good morning!"

"I'm your new English teacher and homeroom teacher."

"My name is Sinan Hanyu!"

"From now on, you've got me watching your backs. If you have any problems, you can come to me directly."

The instant he said that...

The classroom erupted into a flurry of noise.

"Ran."

"Don't you think our teacher Sinan Hanyu looked like he was here to collect protection money just now?"

"He's seriously so manly!"

"I feel like he's definitely a very funny person in private."

Ran rolled her eyes helplessly.

Still...

Sonoko did have a point.

Teacher Sinan Hanyu's self-introduction really didn't sound like something a teacher would say.

That suspicion wasn't limited to just Ran and Sonoko; most of the students looked confused, more or less.

"Ahem--"

"What I mean is, from now on... I'll be taking good care of you in your daily life."

Sinan Hanyu awkwardly cleared his throat.

Damn it!

He'd fallen back into his old habit of talking like a rent-collecting streetwise landlord.

"Today's first lesson..."

"Everyone, please introduce yourselves!"

Sinan Hanyu swept his gaze across the entire class.

In the crowd, he spotted Ran Mori and Sonoko Suzuki by the window.

They were the only two female students he could already recognize.

"Good morning, Teacher Sinan Hanyu!"

"My name is Sonoko Suzuki, and I'm the class coordinator."

"I'm mainly in charge of the class performances and social mixers."

Sonoko Suzuki fully embraced the principle that the closest person gets first pick.

The moment Sinan Hanyu's gaze swept over her, she sprang to her feet and introduced herself first.

"Good morning, Teacher Sinan Hanyu."

"My name is Ran Mori..."

"My name is Yamamoto Ichiro."

"Good morning, Teacher Sinan Hanyu. My name is Kameda Yuta."

"..."

The first lesson gradually drew to a close amid the students' introductions.

"Whose empty seat is that?"

"That's Kudo Shinichi's seat, but he hasn't been to school for two days now."

Sinan Hanyu suddenly understood.

He'd almost forgotten that there was such an important character in the class.

Two days without showing up...

That probably meant Kudo Shinichi had already been drugged with APTX4869 by the Black Organization.

"Everyone, review the material for now."

"We'll officially start next English period."

Hands in his pants pockets, Sinan Hanyu strolled between the rows of desks.

Just then...

A shaft of light from inside a desk drawer suddenly caught his attention.

"Miss Mori."

"No playing with your phone during class."

Just as Ran Mori reached for her phone, Sinan Hanyu beat her to it and took it into his hand.

Shit!

Shit!

Shit!

She wasn't playing with her phone at all, okay?

Before every class, she always put her phone on silent.

This time, someone must have texted her, and that was what caught Sinan Hanyu's attention.

If she'd been caught by a teacher under normal circumstances, that would have been one thing, and at worst she'd just get it back after school.

But this time was different...

There was a video Sonoko Suzuki had sent her on the phone.

Ran Mori lowered her head as far as it would go, not even daring to look the classmates beside her in the eye.

Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her throat.

And then...

When Sinan Hanyu opened the phone, his expression turned strangely odd.

It was actually a porn clip!

And it was a three-second ambush of Teacher Momoko.

He really hadn't expected Ran Mori to be into that sort of thing.

The little angel had that side to her, too.

His very first lesson had already brought in an unexpected harvest.

"Miss Mori."

"Come to my office after school."

Mm...

Sinan Hanyu really did need to give this disobedient female student a proper lesson.

...

After class.

"Ran."

"What's wrong?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked at her in confusion.

It was only a phone being confiscated; couldn't she just get it back after school?

She didn't think Teacher Sinan Hanyu was the kind of teacher who lacked compassion.

"Sonoko."

"And you're asking me what's wrong?"

"Have you forgotten the mess you made yourself?"

"You bastard, you've ruined me!"

Ran grabbed Sonoko by the neck and shook her hard.

If not for the fact that she still had some self-control left, she would have wanted nothing more than to strangle that despicable girl.

"Ran... don't tell me... you didn't delete it just now?"

Sonoko Suzuki also realized how serious the situation was.

But after thinking it over, she said carelessly, "Don't worry, Teacher Sinan Hanyu isn't the kind of man who would go snooping through your phone."

How could such a handsome, sunny teacher possibly pry into a student's privacy?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

"Baka--"

"I never even closed that video..."

As soon as she heard that the new English teacher had arrived, she had hurriedly tossed her phone into the desk drawer.

How could she have known it would turn into such a disaster!

Just thinking that Sinan Hanyu had already seen that video made her want to find a mouse hole and crawl into it.

"Uh..."

"Ran, hang in there!"

At this point, Sonoko Suzuki could only bow her head again and again to show her apology.
