[Beelzebub] A Teacher Incredible life at Ishiyama High School
Chapter 01: Returning to the past
Ishiyama High School is a terrible school.
No sane parent would go out of their way to enroll their kids in a school infested with shitty delinquents. Those troublesome brats would always punch first, then think later. Hell, most of them won't even think! Those students would often leave trails of their destruction, ranging from broken walls and windows.
Most, if not all, of the teachers are terrified of these students, as they don't dare enforce the most common-sense rules on them for fear of getting attacked. They usually won't last long before they decide to escape the school when they find a chance.
Ishiyama High School is an ultra-delinquent hotspot where students don't stay quiet.
They scream and cry all at once.
Why am I talking about this school, you may be asking?
You may be asking, why am I talking about this school? Well, there is a man who graduated from this hellish school and decided to return, not as a student but as a teacher.
His name is Shinji Ryuga, and this will be the story of his incredible life at Ishiyama High School, where he tried his best to prevent the school from being destroyed and punched every naughty student.

-Shinji Ryuga-
"Hahahahaha," laughed an older man heartfully as he examined my face. My eyes twitched at his reaction as I took a deep breath to calm myself down. "Shitty old man…" I muttered as I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration.
"So it was truly you! One day, I was confused when I saw your form on my table! I didn't expect you to really become a teacher, you brat! I still remember your glory and achievement as if it was just yesterday!" said Juuzou Domon.
He is the current headmaster of Ishiyama High School. He wore a white long-sleeved T-shirt under green overalls and a straw hat with a red ribbon tied around the brim. He had grey hair, a grey mustache, and round glasses.
While he might act weak and frail, I knew his true nature as a strong individual. I was still confused about why this person would open a school in this condition. However, it wasn't my place to ask, so I never truly explored his reason.
I was currently inside the headmaster's office since it was officially my first day as a high school teacher.
I sighed. "Yes, and I would rather if you forgot these periods. I was just a fool at that time…"
Juuzou took off his round glasses as he took the time to clean them neatly. "So? Why are you back here? You already know the state of this school since you came from here. You must know that we can't pay you much."
I dropped my head slightly and stayed silent. I knew he was right. I could have gone to any school in the city and would have earned way more than at Ishiyama since most funds went to the school reparation, but… I came back to fulfil a selfish desire of mine.
"…Just to repay my debt to you, shitty old man," I answered as my shoulder relaxed when I admitted my reason.
"Debt, huh?" muttered Juuzou as his eyes glazed when he looked at my face—no doubt thinking about the past. I wouldn't probably be out of my ass if he wasn't there in my life… So I owed him a lot.
Juuzou then shook his head and gave me a cheeky grin. "Then these brats will be in your care, Shinji. Just ensure you don't kill any of them and make Ishiyama's reputation worse!"
I snorted at his ugly joke. "Kill? The reputation of Ishiyama will be the last thing to worry about. Anyway, I'll leave first."
I decisively left the room with folders in my arms without looking back behind me. It was almost time for me to teach my first class. I can only hope those delinquents know what's good for them if they dare not present themselves in my classroom after the bell.

-Juuzou Domon-
He looked at the back of his favourite student, who became a responsible and reliable adult in a few years. It suddenly made him very old and tired.
He didn't expect him to remember and take seriously his passing words, yet he couldn't be prouder of Shinji Ryuga anymore.
The old Dragon of Ishiyama… He looked at the back of his favourite student, who had transformed from a troubled brat into a responsible and reliable adult in a few years.
"This will be a unique year. I'm very excited for the future…" Juuzou Domon's words echoed with anticipation as he looked outside the window.
He whistled happily as he took out his favourite towel and left his office to tend his garden. Juuzou Domon thoroughly enjoyed his retirement life, even more so when his successor returned.

-Shinji Ryuga-
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
I stared blankly at the many empty seats in front of me. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. I knew something like this would happen. It looked like Ishiyama was still the same as I thought.
Something never changes…
Until now.
I gripped the side of the podium with slight anger. I looked at the clock on the wall in thought. It was at this moment that I decided on this first period. I raised the sleeves of my dress shirt as I walked out of the classroom door.
I shall waste the entire first period to hunt some delinquents.
I walked to the school corridor and spotted a group of students squatting in a circle, drinking. However, what made me stop was the big student in the center of the group. If I wasn't wrong, this student was supposed to be in my class.
Without a second, I quickly approached the group of students, who naturally noticed me coming toward them. They looked at me for a few seconds, then promptly ignored my presence.
"Are you Tanaka Dai?" I asked blankly and stared at the boy.
"Yeah? What's your problem, uncle? Don't you see, I'm drinking?" rudely answered Tanaka Dai as his little group laughed slightly.
"I'm Shinji Ryuga, your homeroom teacher, but you can call me Ryuga-sensei. I'm here to collect you for the first period." I said with a straight face.
Tanaka Dai stared at me with surprise, then mockery. "Are you being for real? Hey, uncle. I don't want to be that guy, but don't you realize we are at Ishiyama?"
"I know; that's why I'm here for you. You need to learn if you want to secure your future and not be trash in society," I replied coolly.
Tanaka narrowed his eyes as he stood up from the ground while his little group did the same. "Ohhh? Is that so? Why don't you just run like the rest of these teachers before I break your legs?"
I stayed silent and stared intensely at his eyes while Tanaka frowned at the reaction. He suddenly grabbed my collar with anger.
"Is that your answer, Tanaka Dai?" I said.
"Yes, Ryuga-sensei. What will you do?" sneered Tanaka as he was ready to punch me.
"Then grit your teeth, Tanaka," I responded, which confused him and his friends.
"Wha—"
I headbutted him by surprise, and Tanaka immediately fell to the ground, absolutely blacked out, while his friends stood rooted, completely shocked.
I sighed and rubbed my forehead. I didn't waste any more time, so I picked up Tanaka on my shoulder as I prepared to leave and hunt for another student.
The remaining delinquents finally returned to their senses and were confused between them.
"What just happened? Did the teacher fucking headbutt Tanaka?"
"Hell yeah."
"Damn… I'm sure Tanaka would be furious after waking up."
"Yeah, for sure… so do we catch him?"
"Nah, why should we? That guy was a beast and didn't flinch after the headbutt."
"Let's just mock Tanaka after he finishes his class."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"Yooo, Kumagai! Look at them titties that I just drew!" bragged a delinquent with a lewd smile to his friend. He and his friend were in the school courtyard, tagging a wall for fun. It was so much better than attending their class.
"…"
The delinquent frowned at the silence from his friend. "Heh? Kumaji? Why are you not—" asked the boy as he turned his head toward his partner, only to become speechless by what he saw.
He saw a red-headed man with a student he recognized as Tanaka Dai on his shoulder while his best friend, Kumagai Jurou, had his face buried on the ground with cracks spreading around.
"Endo Ryota and Kumagai Jurou. It is against the rules of the school to damage school property. Yet I'm still surprised you didn't hear me punch your friend on the ground. I guess you must really adore breasts, huh?" I said blankly as I stared fiercely at the boy.
"OI! Who the fuck are you?! How dare you do that to Kumagai, you fucker!" shouted Endo Ryota with anger mixed with fear in his voice.
"Shinji Ryuga, your homeroom teacher, it's time to study. If you don't want to end up like them, I ask you to follow me obediently." I said with tiredness.
"Fuck you!" shouted Endou as he threw the first punch toward Shinji without a second thought.
I sighed, then shook my head. "Well, I tried."
I easily dodged Endou's clumsy punch, stretched my hand, and grabbed his bald head.
"Huh?"
"Take a rest, kid," I said as I pressed Endou's head into the ground like his friend Kumagai.
BOOM
"I still can't believe this guy didn't hear his friend go down…" Confused, I shook my head. Evidently, he was also knocked out without much trouble. I silently picked the two corpses from the ground and threw them at the top of Tanaka's unconscious body.
"Three students and I need to hunt a few mores…" I muttered and aimlessly walked around with three students on my shoulder to find my next prey.
Ultimately, it took me the entire first period to hunt all 20 of my students around the school. I did not enjoy a second of this hunting, as I nearly popped a vein. Those fuckers enjoyed too much breaking the school property and especially the windows.
Obviously, if they kept doing that, I wouldn't be surprised that my meagre salary became even lower because of them. That can't go on, and I must teach them a lesson… Should I conquer the school yet again, like in my youth?
Furthermore, keeping the delinquents inside the classroom took even more effort whenever they woke up. It was really annoying, but I knew it was necessary to make a lasting impression on them and make them recognize my status.
So yes, they became honest really fast after I punched a few guys. Then, I took my time to teach them, even if most were blank for most of the class. Yet, I decided to go easy on them, recognizing they were scumbags at studying.
I honestly expected some people not to be able to read at this point. This was how long my expectation of them was.
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
As I was lost in my thoughts, the bell announcing the end of the third period woke me up. It was also the start of lunchtime at Ishiyama High School. At the same time, the sleeping students on their desks immediately woke up by the bell as they stared at me with hopeful faces.
If it were them from the past, they would have ignored the teacher and immediately rushed out of the classroom, but they were locked with me after the beating I gave them.
I sighed inevitably as most students under me cringed in fear. "You guys can go, but don't make a scene."
"YES!"
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH! RYUGA-SENSEI!"
"WE LOVE YOU RYUGA-SENSEI!"
"HAVE A GOOD LUNCH RYUGA-SENSEI!"
It didn't take them too long to escape my classroom, as most were terrified of me or hungry. I couldn't help but chuckle.
As I was about to leave the classroom and walk toward the faculty room, my phone rang inside my pocket. I took out my flip phone and accepted the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello, my boy!"
"Ah, shitty old man. What do you want?"
"Let me congratulate you on your first morning! I'm pleased to see you working so hard for those students."
"Thank you, but don't drag it. I still want to eat." I opened the faculty room and said hello to the three flinching teachers.
"Ah, well, if that's the case, then I would also like to ask you to take care of the second and third-year students."
I completely froze when I heard his demand. "Wait a damn minute, you shitty old man—"
"Great! I'm happy to see you so accepting!"
"I said, wait! I—"
"I would also like if you could teach them Japanese, geography and history, math, science, health and physical education, art, English and home economics. It would do me a great favour since Shibata-sensei just resigned…" sighed Juuzou.
My head almost exploded at this shameless request. Did this old shitbag ask me to teach the entire subject to the whole school?
"Now, hold on. I don't think—"
"You'll do it for me? Thank you!" shouted Juuzou as he ended the call, leaving me speechless and helplessly staring at my phone screen.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
"He better give me a better salary for this shit…" I whispered with great anger and sat down on my desk.
Maybe returning to Ishiyama High School wasn't my brightest idea…

[A/N: I felt sentimental one day and decided to check my old MAL. By some chance, I saw Beelzebub as it brought back many good memories from my younger years. It was a series that I enjoyed a lot. Also, I don't remember where or the title, but I remembered reading an FF about a teacher in Ishiyama, which is sad… So I decided to write one myself.
I don't know how popular this FF would be, considering that Beelzebub is pretty old by now… Anyway, for those who read it, please enjoy it. I'll do my best to update it one time per week or more!
