Chapter 3 Entering the Mountains to Arrest Animals
"Oops, that's high!"
"The new director is here?"
"Why is it so high?" When the little witches walked into the classroom, they were immediately frightened by Zhang Su.
There is no other reason, it is because Zhang Su is too tall! To them they were like giants.
They all looked up curiously at the moment, trying to stand on tiptoe to look at Zhang Su, like a group of small bean seedlings.
Zhang Su squatted down slightly, his gaze swept over the faces of the five little witches.
They look like ordinary girls, except that their mother is a witch criminal, so they can only live in a shelter.
Zhang Su raised his arms high and wrote the name of "Zhang Su" on the blackboard.
"I'm your new director." Zhang Su said, "Now at 8:01 in the morning, the time for class has arrived, and from today onwards, I will take over the previous director to teach you classes." ”
"Oooh?"
"Going to class?"
"It seems that the former director who loves to beat people is really dead."
"I don't want to go to class......!" They exchanged heads and ears with their childish voices.
"Please sit down, Saho, Mako, sit down." Zhang Su waved his hand, said the names of two of the girls, and asked them to take their seats.
"He knows our names!"
"Cunning ......"
"How does he know us?"
They were amazed. Zhang Su smiled secretly.
The previous life had already taught them once, so why would it be difficult to do it again.
Zhang Su was too tall, which gave them a great deterrent.
They swam in like small animals, and then sat in the front row in a regular manner.
Enori took out a pamphlet very seriously, with lines and lines on it, and it was written neatly and beautifully.
The tables and chairs were in disrepair, and the red paint on them was peeling off, returning to the sallow yellow nature of cheap wood, and the knife was carved in a mess. The bench is even higher and one low, and the joints are raised upward, no longer stuck properly, and they keep shaking.
They were not enthusiastic about attending classes, and they had no idea about their life in the shelter.
Soon, they relented.
"What are you going to eat tomorrow?"
"I'm so hungry......"
"I'm going to the garden to catch bugs."
"Why are you coming to class?" They muttered and talked.
Enori looked at the others who were lazy, stood up, and clapped her hands.
"Everyone, it's time for class!" In a soft tone, she said, "Be obedient." ”
Only then did they raise their heads, their eyes shining, and look at Zhang Su.
Zhang Su nodded to Yuanzhi, she gave Zhang Su a gentle and lovely smile in return, and then sat down.
"So, before I start teaching, I want to tell you what I'm teaching for." Zhang Su used chalk to write a line on the blackboard.
"Heaven does not create those above men, nor does it create those below men"
He wrote a line of words, straight and straight, condensing his years of hard work in teaching.
The meaning of this sentence is that whether a person or a witch, she is not born nobler than others, nor is she more inferior than others. It's especially special for you, because you're very different from the rest of the world, you're both witches and you've been living in Anshin for a long time. ”
"What I want to tell you is that this difference does not damage your character and dignity, and that the mission of the Ansein House is to contain and care for witches, not to abuse them. You still have the potential to learn, grow, and improve your endowments. I hope that all of you will be able to grow up safely and mentally as adults in good health. ”
"As a new director, I will also do my best to train you well."
Zhang Su said seriously.
After listening to Zhang Su's words, they may not be able to understand much, but they also feel the weight of the words.
Although they are witches who live under the walls and under the control, they still have the freedom to nurture a sound body and mind, and have the basic right to education.
Now, they are more or less sitting upright.
"Do you have any other questions for the director?" Zhang Su faced them and said sincerely.
They looked at each other, because they were shy and nervous, and Zhang Su was a very dignified stranger, they didn't dare to speak, they looked at each other, and frowned.
Only Hayaho raised his hand high.
Saho is the most "arrogant" of the students, Zhang Su is very impressed by her, she is much more active than other reserved children.
"Saho-san, please speak." Zhang Su nodded at her.
"Since we weren't born to be prisoners, when are we going to get out of here and go to the big city?" Saho said loudly, her eyes flashing with curiosity, and her voice was crisp.
These girls are ostracized by human society, and the Witch Countermeasures Bureau has deployed restraining regulations, and they are destined to spend their lives in witch shelters.
In his previous life, Zhang Su was very conservative and did not answer their questions positively.
But since there is a second chance, it is to make up for all the previous regrets.
"Summer vacation." Zhang Su promised, "During the summer vacation, I will take you to the big city, to New Tokyo!" As long as you listen to the lectures. ”
After the Battle of Tomyeong, the human defense plan repelled the monsters, but Tokyo was also destroyed, and a new Tokyo was built on the ruins.
Saho was going to make things difficult for the new director, because she was naturally more sensible than other children, and vaguely knew that the fate of her several people was to be trapped in the peace of mind for life.
But the other party's neat answer was beyond Saho's expectations, how could this guy have the ability to take them out of the Anxin Courtyard and go to the bustling human world?
"Then it's a deal!" Saho said in a loud voice, then sat down.
Must be lying! Saho secretly made up her mind.
You can remember this, and wait until the summer vacation to debunk this guy.
The other children were immediately agitated, they had been living within the high walls of the shelter for a long time, had never left, and the previous director had strictly forbidden them to go out and had a strict attitude towards them. Now I am very excited to receive such a promise.
"Can we leave the shelter too?"
"Summer vacation, go to Tokyo!"
"Great!"
"I've wanted to go out for a long time!"
"I want to go to the big city for treatment......" Yuanori looked out the window.
They were in high spirits and imagined what it would be like to run outside the walls.
"Alright, kids, now let's go to class." Zhang Su lightly tapped the blackboard and quieted them down.
They also raised their heads, looking forward to what Zhang Su was going to teach next.
Before the crossing, Zhang Su was a teacher, and he also went to the countryside to teach, so he knew everything about teaching and educating people.
The conditions here are poor, and textbooks are impossible. The previous teacher wrote the text on the blackboard for them to read and take notes.
It's actually similar to telling a story to children. Zhang Su also knew that he couldn't ask too much.
Zhang Su changed a piece of chalk from the chalk box, there was not much left, it was all chalk heads, and he considered the text.
"What kind of knowledge do you want to learn?" Zhang Su turned his head.
"Eat!"
"Delicious!"
"We're going to eat!" They were talking happily one after another.
Zhang Su was sympathetic in his heart.
The conditions in the shelter are very poor, and these children from dark backgrounds have little to eat, and can only get some solace from the story.
"Then let's learn a 'duck egg' text today." Zhang Su remembered his previous teaching, and quietly wrote an article on the blackboard about salted duck eggs.
The middle school students before the crossing liked this text very much, and Zhang Su was able to write it down silently.
Zhang Su wrote a paragraph, read a paragraph, and they also read a paragraph.
“…… Pickled eggs are red in color and oily, and the egg whites are fine and tender. When I eat salted eggs at home, I knock on the end after they are cooked, and the chopsticks go down, and the red oil will 'squeak' outward, and it tastes salty and fragrant......"
Listening to this vivid description, they were all greedy.
They read a few paragraphs perfectly, and Zhang Su picked out the birth words, asked them to read and transcribe, and taught them to read and write.
The little witches were writing with shabby pencils in their hands, and Zhang Su looked at them with care and sympathy in his eyes.
At this time, the little witches' minds are not in the textbook, but begin to fantasize about salty, fragrant and oily delicious eggs!
"Now let's try to copy it yourself, the theme is 'Food', think about what your favorite thing to eat." Zhang Su asked them to practice.
"Delicious wild herbs, you will be dizzy when you eat them, but they are sweet, they always want to live in the herbs, they can't walk, other kittens will come, everyone sits on the ground and smells the herbs, how comfortable." Yuan Ori wrote in her notebook.
"Melon, synthetic large watermelon. Guaguagua Guagua big watermelon, I love big watermelon. Natsuki wrote slowly in the notebook, she was the youngest witch, only 9 years old.
"Before my mother went out to stab someone, she made me a bowl of very thick soup." Rei wrote calmly.
"I dreamed of great food in my dreams, and now I write it down so as not to forget: rectangular, white, one can be fed, you can take care of the whole day's food, you will never have to go hungry again, you will no longer have to worry about food." Saho scribbled in her notebook.
Because they were interested in the texts, they also wrote very seriously, and their motivation to attend classes also increased.
Zhang Su corrected typos while patrolling.
He knew very well that in this humble witch shelter, they needed knowledge, food, and care, all of which depended on a responsible director.
At least during the lessons, they can immerse themselves in a warm world of hope and beauty, and forget the harsh social and external realities for a while.
The breeze outside the window gently blows the dead trees, blowing the early spring shoots, almost blowing them off. The atmosphere was quiet, which made Zhang Su feel a little peaceful.
Even if they are not accepted by the outside world, Zhang Su still hopes to do his best, at least within the walls of the shelter, to do his best to them.
[Witch Education completed, reward 5 containment fragments]
After teaching in the morning, the cunning little witch Saho waved to Zhang Su again.
"Tall man, I want to have duck eggs for lunch." Saho said.
"Call me the director, or the teacher." Zhang Su said.
"Teacher~?" Saho waved his hand, "It's all good, since you said such a delicious duck egg, it would be too bad for me to eat, please let me taste it with my mouth instead of my eyes and ears." ”
"Not now. I'll buy it for you when I go shopping, you're all starving, I'll buy it for you. Zhang Su said.
"There must be ducks in the mountains, take me to see them." Saho said slyly.
Saying so much, it turns out that you want to go out? Looking at Saho's agile gaze, Zhang Su's heart moved.
Saho is one of the more intelligent, cunning, and independent of the children, and if you take her well as soon as possible, you can save a lot of trouble.
"Then I'll take you into the mountains." He nodded.
"The teacher is going to hit the animal with a stick?" Saho looked at the iron rod in Zhang Su's hand.
"Let's go get a gun from Katy." Zhang Su said.
"Guns!" Saho was excited.
"Not for you." Zhang Su takes Saho to Kati's Precept Tower.
