Compared to Kudou Shinichi's resentment, Mouri Ran's mood instantly brightened.
This unfamiliar teacher was not only handsome but also very fair! Someone like Shinichi deserved a proper punishment! the girl thought secretly, gazing at Hoshimiya Yuu at the podium.
Simultaneously, another prompt sounded in Hoshimiya Yuu's mind.
[Successfully interacted with Mouri Ran with Goodwill. Draw count +1.]
[Successfully interacted with Kudou Shinichi with Dislike. Draw count +1.]
[Successfully interacted with Suzuki Sonoko with Liking. Draw count +1.]
Hoshimiya Yuu subtly glanced at Mouri Ran and the other two, then said, "Alright, now that everyone is present, let's officially begin the lesson."
Health and Physical Education wasn't a core subject, similar to Home Economics. There was only one or two classes a week, and the curriculum was quite simple.
However, he had to be cautious about certain topics in physiological hygiene, especially when teaching the girls.
...
The class quickly ended.
Afterward, Hoshimiya Yuu dealt with the enthusiastic female students and quickly returned to his office.
He pretended to be exhausted, half-reclining in his chair and closing his eyes to rest.
Seeing his state, the other teachers in the office tactfully left him alone.
Hoshimiya Yuu appeared calm, but a storm of emotions was surging inside.
He was a transmigrator, having been reborn into this world.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary university graduate in China, surnamed Xing, given name Gongyu.
Following an accident, he inexplicably woke up with his memories in Japan at the end of the 20th century.
Shortly after his birth, he was abandoned by his parents, starting a new life in difficult mode.
Although he retained his memories, the different era and world meant his life as an orphan was still tough.
To make things a bit easier, he even changed his name to something more culturally fitting—Hoshimiya Yuu.
For over twenty years in this world, he had more than once fantasized about having the standard cheat system for a transmigrator.
But through all those years, facing every kind of difficulty, the cheat never appeared.
Just as he overcame all obstacles through his own efforts, moved past the toughest times, and his restarted life was finally beginning to stabilize, the System showed up.
More importantly, this world turned out to be the Conan World.
Once Kudou Shinichi shrinks, the world would descend into a strange, distorted timeline.
What did all the hardship and suffering he endured for those years even count for?
Therefore, when his long-held fantasy finally became reality, Hoshimiya Yuu found himself far calmer than he had anticipated.
Calm enough to finish teaching a class before checking his personal panel.
[Name]: Hoshimiya Yuu [Talents]: Transmigrator (Red), Handsome (Blue) [Draw Count]: 3 [Upgrade Count]: 0 [Copy Count]: 0 [Plunder Count]: 0 ... [Transmigrator (Red)]: As a transmigrator, having lived two lives, the strength and growth rate, and the upper limit of your soul and mental power are greatly enhanced. [Handsome (Blue)]: You are fortunate to be born with extraordinary looks. Your affinity and attractiveness to the opposite sex are slightly enhanced. ...
Looking at his talent panel, Hoshimiya Yuu felt nothing, perhaps a slight desire to laugh.
After all these years, he already knew his own condition. Did he really need the System to repeat it to him?
"Well, it's better than nothing…"
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Hoshimiya Yuu consoled himself mentally.
Next, he began to draw new talents.
[Obtained White Talent: Peaceful Sleep] [Obtained Blue Talent: Rapid Recovery] [Obtained Blue Talent: Dynamic Vision]
Peaceful Sleep (White): The sleep quality of people in physical contact with you (including yourself) is enhanced, slightly increasing the speed of energy recovery. Alertness during sleep is slightly reduced. However, if the person is suffering from insomnia, more physical contact is required to activate.
Rapid Recovery (Blue): Blood production and clotting functions are strengthened, slightly increasing physical constitution and the speed of wound healing.
Dynamic Vision (Blue): Ophthalmic nerves are strengthened, slightly increasing eyesight and nervous reaction speed.
"Blue and white right out of the gate, huh…"
Hoshimiya Yuu sighed softly, looking at the talents he had drawn.
The next moment, a warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, finally concentrating in his heart and eyes.
When the warmth faded, Hoshimiya Yuu clearly felt his heart beating more vigorously, and his slightly nearsighted eyes returned to normal.
He didn't have a tendency toward self-harm, and he couldn't test his dynamic vision in the office, so the specific effects of those two talents were unclear for now, but they seemed very good already.
After a careful assessment, his mood finally improved somewhat.
The Conan World was dangerous, and now he finally had the confidence to ensure he could continue living well in this world.
As for the White-quality Peaceful Sleep talent, Hoshimiya Yuu didn't plan on resting immediately, so he couldn't feel its effects yet.
"Too bad none of them can immediately improve my quality of life…"
After twenty-two years in the Conan World, the issue that troubled him the most was money.
If it weren't for his good looks and exceptional stamina, allowing him to take on various part-time jobs, he might not have even graduated from university smoothly.
"No matter, that's all in the past. What matters is the future."
Hoshimiya Yuu rubbed his temples, refocusing his attention on the System.
The System's methods for acquiring Talent Draw, Copy, Upgrade, and Plunder opportunities had already been clearly stated in the previous prompt.
Interact with 'Destiny Characters' and participate in 'Destiny Events.'
Interacting with Destiny Characters seemed to guarantee a reward, though he wasn't sure exactly what constituted a valid 'interaction.'
Participating in Destiny Events, on the other hand, offered a chance to gain opportunities for Talent Copy, Upgrade, or Plunder.
As for the Destiny Characters and Destiny Events...
Hoshimiya Yuu could figure out what those referred to with minimal effort.
Both Destiny Characters and Destiny Events carried a certain risk, especially those related to the main storyline.
Since Kudou Shinichi hadn't turned into Conan yet, the main storyline could be ignored for the time being.
Time slowly passed in contemplation. By the time he snapped out of it, the lunch break was over.
Regaining his composure, Hoshimiya Yuu made preparations, and as the class bell rang, he left the office to go teach.
Compared to before, his steps were noticeably lighter.
In the afternoon, after teaching Class 2-A, Hoshimiya Yuu returned to his rundown rental apartment.
His first day on the job, only to discover that the world he had lived in for over twenty years was the Conan World, and he had awakened a System...
The series of events had left even the mentally resilient Hoshimiya Yuu feeling a bit fatigued.
Too lazy to fight his body's instincts any further, he quickly fixed himself something to eat, took a shower, and then collapsed into his futon on the tatami mat.
He slept soundly through the night.
The next day.
The morning sun dispelled the cool, thin mist.
Sparrows outside the window chirped incessantly on the branches, fluttering their wings.
Hoshimiya Yuu awoke from his sleep.
Looking at the clock on the bedroom wall, which already pointed to seven o'clock, he yawned lazily.
The newfound sense of security from finally understanding his world and the System's arrival gave him a profound feeling of peace he hadn't experienced before.
He had slept exceptionally well.
"Did I really sleep that long…"
Hoshimiya Yuu recalled that he had gone to bed shortly after returning in the afternoon, certainly before 7 PM. This meant he had slept for over twelve hours.
This was unprecedented in his last twenty-plus years. He possessed mental power far exceeding that of an ordinary person and rarely slept deeply due to a lack of security.
He usually woke up naturally after five or six hours, his energy mostly recovered anyway.
Sleeping so soundly this time was likely due to the Peaceful Sleep talent.
