Tokyo, Teitan High School.
Hoshimiya Yuu took a deep breath, clutching his lesson plan as he walked towards Class 2-B.
Just a day ago, six months after graduating from university, he had finally landed a proper job: the health and physical education teacher for Teitan High School's Class 2-B.
It was his first time teaching, and a slight nervousness was inevitable, but he quickly managed to regulate himself.
Pulling open the classroom door, Hoshimiya Yuu slowly walked up to the podium, met by the surprised gazes of a group of teenagers.
"Mr. Kuroda, who previously taught Health and P.E., resigned for personal reasons. From now on, I will be in charge of all your health and physical education classes."
After speaking, he turned and wrote three neat characters on the blackboard.
"Hoshimiya Yuu. That is my name. You can call me Mr. Hoshimiya."
Below the podium, the teenagers looked enlightened, then started to whisper among themselves.
"So, he's the new teacher…"
"Wow, this teacher is so handsome, and he looks really young."
"I know, right?"
Hoshimiya Yuu didn't stop the students' discussion, merely watching them with a smile.
The students needed time to get used to him as a new teacher, and he also needed time to adapt to his new identity.
Just then, a beautiful girl with shoulder-length, light brown hair raised her hand and asked excitedly, "Mr. Hoshimiya, Mr. Hoshimiya, you look so young, how old are you?"
Many students, especially the girls, were curious about this question. The murmuring instantly ceased, everyone waiting for Hoshimiya Yuu's answer.
"I'm 22 this year. I just graduated from college, and you are the first class I've ever taught."
Hearing his reply, the light-brown-haired girl grew even more excited.
"Do you have a girlfriend, teacher?"
"Sorry, that's personal information," Hoshimiya Yuu replied methodically.
He had done his homework on how to handle students.
"Aww~ What's the harm? Just tell us~"
"Yeah, yeah~"
The girls chimed in, several of them even pouting and batting their eyes suggestively at Hoshimiya Yuu.
Seeing that he wouldn't be able to bypass this question, Hoshimiya Yuu finally sighed in mock exasperation, "Fine, I currently have no plans to date."
Not only now, but since he arrived in this world, he hadn't.
"Ooh~ So the teacher is still single~"
The girls below the podium grew even more thrilled, their bright, large eyes seeming to sparkle a little more.
"Ahem, alright, now that you all know me, I still don't know all of you."
Clutching a fist to his mouth and clearing his throat, Hoshimiya Yuu quickly moved on to the next segment. Any more of that and he feared the situation might get out of hand.
"So… let's take attendance first."
"Hi~" ×N
Taking out the student roster, Hoshimiya Yuu began calling names in order.
"Ueda Kaori."
"Here."
"Watanabe Fuji."
"Here."
…
…
"Suzuki Sonoko…"
"Hi~"
Hoshimiya Yuu's voice paused for a moment as he looked at the light-brown-haired girl who had been asking the questions earlier.
He had felt the girl looked familiar before, and now that he knew her name, the feeling was even stronger.
"Next, Uesugi Yuri."
"Here~"
…
Teitan High School was a prestigious private institution with a high university acceptance rate. Each class had about thirty students, and with the students cooperating, attendance was quickly completed.
"Two people didn't show up?"
Hoshimiya Yuu tapped the roster with his pen, circling the names 'Mouri Ran' and 'Kudou Shinichi.'
Two more incredibly familiar names, yet he couldn't quite recall where he had heard them.
Just then, a male and female conversation drifted from the doorway.
The girl's clear voice carried a hint of displeasure, "Shinichi, hurry up! It's all because of you running off to check out the crime scene that we're late on the very first day of school!"
"I didn't ask you to wait for me. You could have just gone ahead."
The boy named Shinichi's lazy voice was full of indifference. "Since when is class more important than a case? If it weren't for me, how could this case have been solved so quickly?"
"You…! Humph, I'm not dealing with you anymore!"
The girl sounded absolutely furious, and even through the door, Hoshimiya Yuu could imagine the girl's exasperated, yet speechless, expression.
With a rush of footsteps, the classroom door was opened, and a beautiful girl with long black hair and the infamous pointy hairstyle appeared before Hoshimiya Yuu, wearing the Teitan High School uniform.
The girl executed a textbook ninety-degree bow, and a flash of fair, ample cleavage darted past his eyes from under her collar.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late," the long-black-haired beauty straightened up, her face flushed and somewhat mortified.
Subsequently, a casual male voice came from behind her.
"Oh, teacher, I'm late too."
Ignoring the boy behind the girl, Hoshimiya Yuu meticulously observed the black-haired beauty.
That same feeling of intense familiarity…
His brow furrowed, a long-sealed memory seemingly trying to break through the barrier, yet falling just short.
It was like a thin film was blocking it, something that could be pierced with a touch, but he lacked that last bit of strength.
Hoshimiya Yuu was tormented by the feeling of being almost there, his handsome brows knitting tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, a mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.
[The gears of destiny begin to turn. System activated.]
[Personal Panel opened. Talent View, Draw, Copy, Upgrade, and Plunder functions activated.]
[Interact with characters of destiny to gain Talent Draw opportunities.]
[Participate in fated events for a chance to gain Talent Copy, Upgrade, or Plunder opportunities.]
This is... a System?!
Right, he was a transmigrator, and after twenty-two years, his cheat finally arrived.
Suzuki Sonoko, Kudou Shinichi, Mouri Ran…
In that instant, a flash of lightning crossed his mind. That thin film was instantly shattered, and everything connected.
So this world was Detective Conan. No wonder there were so many beautiful women, along with some odd, inexplicable technology.
If it was Conan Tech, not just general tech, everything made perfect sense.
Hoshimiya Yuu's mouth twitched, his expression momentarily unnatural before instantly reverting to normal.
"It's alright. Go take your seat, but be careful next time."
"Yes, thank you, teacher." Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief and walked to her seat.
Kudou Shinichi followed closely behind.
Hoshimiya Yuu spoke then, "Young man, I haven't given you permission to enter."
Kudou Shinichi paused, confused. "Teacher, you let Ran in. We were late together…"
"First, she was late because she waited for you. Second, she recognized her mistake and apologized properly."
Hoshimiya Yuu slanted a look at Kudou Shinichi. "Finally, didn't you say that cases are more important than class? Since this is the last class of the morning anyway, why don't you just come back this afternoon?"
Kudou Shinichi's face flushed with embarrassment. So his previous words had been overheard.
He genuinely believed it, but at this moment, all he could do was apologize.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I was wrong."
"Since you were wrong, your punishment is to stand for the entire class."
Kudou Shinichi's mouth twitched. Seeing Suzuki Sonoko gleefully sticking her tongue out at him, he felt even more aggrieved.
And all of this transformed into resentment towards the new teacher.
