Chapitre 18: Volume 1: A New Start Chapter 18 - Teacher Hong Yu
"No, you can't go to work! You have to get away from here and hide somewhere else!" Butcher Wang held Heero's shoulder and advised seriously. After that, Butcher Wang turned to Han Ying and said"You too, you have to move away from this place. Silver Class Ranker, Yan Tie has set his eyes on you. He will not stop until he gets what he wants!"
This kind of thing was a common occurrence in the outer city. A person like Yan Tie, with a big backup, would use every means to get what they wanted.
He was genuinely concerned for the young man and Han Ying.
However, Han Ying shook her head. She was also looked melancholic as Butcher Wang advised her to leave this place.
"I can't leave this place!"
Butcher Wang immediately kept his mouth shut as he saw Han Ying's expression. He also knew this shop was the most precious place for Han Ying. After all, they had been living in this district since childhood. He knew Han Ying's story and this place.
"At worst, I will remarry Yan Tie, " Han Ying added.
Realizing he could not persuade Han Ying to leave this place, Butcher Wang turned toward Heero.
However, Heero was thoroughly ignoring him. He was having a conversation with his daughter instead.
"Big Brother, you don't know a clock?" Lan Lan had a complacent look as she asked Heero.
"Clock? Don't know, " Heero shook his head.
Lan Lan smiled wider and pointed toward the wall. She was pointing the clock inside the shop.
"That is a clock. The short needle…" Lan Lan explained how the clock was working.
"When the short needle reaches number 7, it means 7 am. Do you understand?"
Heero nodded his head. In Dramonia, there was no tool to show a specific time like a clock, it was only, morning, noon, and night.
"So 7 am does mean 7 o'clock in the morning, right?"
"Bingo, one hundred points for Big Brother~, " Lan Lan tried to snap her finger, but no sound came out.
'I see… tomorrow I have to come to school before seven…'
"Thank you, Lan Lan. Here you are, some sweets for you."
Then Heero took out a bamboo box from his clothes. This time it was real sweets, not medicine. The sweets were as big as an ȧduŀt finger and red in color. Heero made this by himself with the fruit from the peak of Nebraska Mountain.
Hearing Heero would give her another candy, Lan Lan stuck her hand out. Heero put the sweets in her hand.
Lan Lan did not immediately eat the candy. She opened her bag and took out a bottle. It was clear, Lan Lan did not plan to eat the candy now, but she wanted to save the sweets for later.
After that, Lan Lan smiled brightly toward Heero, "Big Brother, if you have something you don't know, you can ask me again."
"Good, I will."
There were many things he did not know. If he encountered something he did not know, he could back here.
"What are you talking about?! Where are your thanks!?" Butcher Wang rebuked his daughter.
"But…"
"No, but!" Butcher Wang was being strict with his daughter.
"But this is my reward for teaching Big Brother…" Lan Lan muttered her protest in a low voice, nevertheless, Lan Lan bowed her head slightly and said, "Big Brother, thank you~."
Heero smiled and rubbed Lan Lan's hair. Afterward, Heero faced Butcher Wang who kept worrying about him. He knew Butcher Wang well mean toward him, but he did not need to hide.
"Butcher Wang, thank you. But I will not hide, " Then Heero turned toward Han Ying and smiled, "You don't have to worry, Yan Tie and his underlings will not disturb you anymore."
After saying those words, Heero strode out of the shop.
He had been training fourteen years under Saint guidance and another five years of training under the Specter God and Beast God in order to kill Specter God. There was no way he was afraid of a mere Silver Class Ranker like Yan Tie.
When Heero stepped outside, he remembered the raid of the Specter God. He activated the trap by himself, but because of him, a party of Heroes managed to pass and enter the castle.
Heero wondered if the party managed to slay the Specter God.
"Nah, just forget it already. I have determined to retire, let's not think about it again." Heero shook his head as he held his chin, he was pondering something.
"So where will I sleep tonight?"
He did not have a place to get back or sleep. Heero looked up and nodded his head. He found where he would sleep tonight.
…
The next morning, Heero already arrived at Miao Miao Noodles Shop. He stood before the glass and tilted his head. Was he coming this early… No, last night, he was sleeping at Miao Miao Noodles Shop's rooftop. He was there all night.
He came down not to look for a free meal but to take a look at the clock inside the shop. Today was his first work so he did not want to get late.
Heero did not find Han Ying inside the shop. It seemed she was still sleeping. Heero moved his eyeballs to find the clock on the wall.
"Short needle… short needle…"
Heero muttered in a low voice and found the short needle pointed at the direction between the number six and number seven.
"Oho, I woke up in time."
Afterward, Heero headed toward Hope Preschool.
…
Still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, Heero entered Hope Preschool. At the entrance building, Heero found Fatty Liang already there. He stood straight, but his protruded belly weighted down.
"Good morning, Security Liang~"
Heero greeted Fatty Liang with a fresh smile.
Fatty Liang nodded his head toward Heero, but he did not return the greeting.
Heero felt there was something different between yesterday Fatty Liang and this morning Fatty Liang. He felt somewhat Fatty Liang was less expressive and less warm than yesterday.
However, he did not know what was the cause. It was useless to think about it, except he asked Fatty Liang in person. He wanted a good environment for his work and maintained a good relationship with his co-workers.
Heero felt now was not the right time to ask Fatty Liang. He had to put this on hold and asked later when they became closer.
Heero entered the building. As soon as he entered, he found two doors. There were some words written on the left door" Conference Room". "Teacher Office", was written on the right door.
He was standing in a long corridor. On his left, there were another three doors while toward his right there were two doors.
He remembered Teacher Lin asked him to come to the office right away. This meant his destination was the right door. Just as Heero wanted to open the right door, the door opened and a familiar face came to his sight.
At the right moment, Teacher Lin came out of the office.
She was startled to see Heero. Then she realized the young man was the new teacher.
"You startled me!" Teacher Lin exclaimed.
Heero greeted Teacher Lin with a fresh as he did toward Fatty Liang, "Good morning, Teacher Lin."
"Good morning, " Teacher Lin returned the greeting with a satisfied smile.
She liked this new teacher, an enthusiast, brimming in youthfulness, polite, and likable.
"Come in, I will give a brief explanation of your duty."
Teacher Lin invited Heero inside the office. The office was big and neat. Teacher Lin led Heero to a table and said, "This is your place."
After that, Teacher Ling gave Heero a brief regarding the work.
Hope Preschool had three classes. The first class was for 3 years old children, the second class was for 4 years old children, and the third class was for 5 years old children.
Usually, the parents would send their children to preschool at the age of four. So, there were only little children in class one and a single teacher was enough.
However, this year was different, Hope Preschool received 31 children for class one and decided to hire a new teacher to assist the current teacher.
Heero was assigned to assist Teacher Hong Yu in class one.
"That is it. I have a matter I need to take care of, I will leave you here. I hope you can do well in your work, Teacher Xing."
Teacher Lin left Heero alone in the office.
Meanwhile, Heero was elated deep inside his heart.
'Hehe… Teacher Xing… Teacher Xing…'
"Alrighty, let's start the work…"
Heero set his eyes at the paper in his hand. On the paper was the list of 31 children that he would teach later. As the class started at 8 am, Heero wanted to memorize their names.
There were three names written in different colors, Teacher Lin reminded him to put special attention to these children. The three children had a big background, Shen Miao, Jiang Yijun, and Kang Myung Hee.
While Heero tried to memorize the names, the office door opened, and a lady entered.
"Ah!?" The Lady was surprised when she saw Heero who was standing. After all, this was the first time she saw Heero.
"Good Morning~" Heero greeted the lady with a fresh smile.
"Good morning~" The Lady returned the greeting with a sweet. As she was smiling, a dimple formed on her cheek.
After the greeting, the Lady approached Heero and asked in curiosity, "Are you perhaps the new teacher?"
"Yes, I am a new teacher, Xing Heero." Heero introduced himself, neat and polite.
"What a weird name…" The Lady muttered in a low voice.
'Hey, I am here you know!? I can hear it…' Heero said to himself.
Then, the lady introduced herself as she offered her hand for a handshake, "Hello~ I am Hong Yu, I am the person who you will be working with. You can call me Teacher Hong~"
Heero reached Teacher Hong's small hand, "Hello, Teacher Hong~ this is my first time as a teacher, I will be in your care,"
Based on the look, Teacher Hong was about the same age as him, 40 years old!? Heero did not know and he also did not dare to ask. Asking Lady's age was dangerous, his seven fairy mothers told him so.
Teacher Hong seemed satisfied as she smiled and nodded her head toward Heero. Afterward, Teacher Hong took a seat which was also across Heero's table.
Looking at Teacher Hong's sweet smile as she rummaged something on her table, Heero also smiled.
'I got a job and my co-worker is also cute. This is a good start.'
