After the exams ended, the examinees didn't go home to wait for the results like in a normal entrance exam. Instead, they stayed directly at the school.
But the teachers here basically all possessed superpowers. The speed at which they graded the papers was incredibly fast. It would take less than an hour to get the results.
Sure enough, before noon had even passed after the morning exams, the list of those who passed was posted on the information board at the school gate.
Many students and parents who saw their names on the list danced with joy.
In this world overrun with monsters, mastering superpowers meant gaining higher social status. At the very least, it would increase their survival rate.
Some cried on the spot. Some spun around holding their children. Some crouched on the ground making phone calls to share the good news, their voices trembling.
Looking at it this way, it felt even more like the college entrance exam.
Makoto took the list of admitted students handed to him by Kaguya, casually glanced at it, and immediately noticed many familiar names.
For example, the Kasukabe Defense Force five-man group led by Nohara Shinnosuke... though it was said they had now changed their name to the [Royal Capital Defense Force].
He flipped through a few pages and stopped his finger.
Natsuki Subaru.
Makoto paused for two seconds.
'Wasn't this the tortured guy?'
'So this guy hadn't transmigrated to another world like Kazuma?'
But to be honest, even if he had gone, it wouldn't have mattered. He couldn't do anything anyway.
Even when his wife was being groped, he could only watch helplessly and rage impotently.
Although there are plenty of useless male leads in anime, in Isekai Anime, it's quite rare for the protagonist to be this useless.
After all, it's common knowledge that Isekai Anime is mostly an unthinking power fantasy... the protagonist travels to another world to show off.
Someone like Subaru, who had it so rough, was truly rare.
"Dear students... welcome to the Shuchi'in Superpower Academy!"
Chika's voice exploded from the direction of the school gate. Her hands were raised above her head like a sunflower dancing in the sunlight.
"Let's hold a welcome party together tonight—!"
After she finished shouting, the school gate was quiet for a moment, then erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
Kaguya looked at Makoto in bewilderment. "When was this decided?"
Makoto smiled and shook his head.
'Don't you, as her best friend, know Chika's personality of doing whatever comes to mind?'
Kaguya looked speechlessly at that pink-haired woman still bouncing around in the crowd, but in the end, she approved the impromptu event.
They were all sisters sharing the same man. She could accommodate such a small request.
In the afternoon, the school streets were lined with all kinds of stalls.
Shooting galleries, ring toss, goldfish scooping... besides some small games, there were also all kinds of delicious food.
Anyone wouldn't know it wasn't a school festival.
These foods were all provided by the Elite Ten of Totsuki, who had already graduated from Totsuki Academy.
Makoto looked at the lively scene and couldn't help thinking of the Totsuki Moon Banquet Festival four years ago.
That time, quite a few people had died.
"Hey, kid, don't touch my stuff."
Zoro's voice came from the other side of the crowd. He was surrounded by a group of new students.
Several little ones kept reaching out to touch the three swords at his waist.
Zoro's face was as black as a pot.
After Luffy died, he had modeled himself after his own master, Shimotsuki Koushirou, and returned to his hometown to open a dojo.
Then Makoto came and told him, no matter where you teach, you're teaching, and lured him over.
The kid at the front, after being yelled at by him, burst into tears.
Zoro's scalp went numb.
That face, which had never wavered in the face of any enemy, now showed visible signs of cracking.
Helpless, he drew the Sandai Kitetsu from his waist and handed it over, scabbard and all. "Here, take it. Be careful."
"Yay—!"
Zoro watched that kid, who had just been wailing and was now running off giggling with the sword, dumbfounded.
'Wow, so he was faking crying?'
Besides Zoro, the other teachers were more or less harassed by these new students.
Kids are curious about everything.
They surrounded Itsuki, shouting "Sensei, Sensei, show us what you've got."
Itsuki was pushed into the center of the crowd. She smiled helplessly, raised her right hand, and waved gently.
A not-too-strong gust of wind surged from her palm, lifting the children around her into the air.
The children screamed, laughed, and danced with joy.
Hiratsuka stood at the edge of the playground, arms crossed, watching the lively scene. The corner of her mouth curled slightly.
"Shizuka-sensei... can you show us your superpower?"
Sakurada Nene squeezed out of the crowd, her face upturned, her eyes sparkling.
Shin-chan, Kazama Toru, and Bo-chan also came over from the other side. Masao walked at the very back, looking at Hiratsuka cautiously.
The fame of Iron Fist Shizuka had reached even their elementary school department.
Hiratsuka looked down at these little runts, raised an eyebrow, and the next second raised her right fist, casually swinging it through the air.
Boom—!
A short sonic boom exploded on the playground, like setting off a firecracker.
Hiratsuka put away her fist and raised an eyebrow at the kids, as if asking, 'How's that? Impressive, right?'
Nohara Shin-chan squinted his thick eyebrows, the corner of his mouth turned down, disgust written all over his face. "That's it? Come on, Shizuka-sensei."
The other four didn't show it as obviously as Shin-chan, but their looks meant about the same.
Hiratsuka's face darkened.
Having taught the Yukinoshita sisters and Makoto, she was already exhausted enough.
Now seeing this annoying potato kid, Hiratsuka secretly prayed that she wouldn't get him in her class. Otherwise, he would definitely give her a heart attack.
"Dear students—" Makoto clapped his hands.
The noisy crowd fell silent within seconds.
They turned their heads and saw two unfamiliar figures beside Makoto.
One had pure white hair, a straight posture, wearing a black tailcoat, a silver-gray tie at his white shirt collar.
The other's face looked like a bowling ball, his features as if drawn on with a pencil.
"These two are new members of our school."
Makoto spread his hand toward the one on the left. "Combat teacher, Sebas Tian." Then spread his hand toward the one on the right. "Security captain, Pandora's Actor."
Misae, Kazama Mineko, and other housewives couldn't help stealing extra glances at Sebas.
These older housewives were all about that type.
Over on Pandora's Actor's side, the atmosphere was a bit different.
Everyone's gaze lingered on his face for several seconds, their expressions strange.
'Was this guy wearing a mask? Why did he look like a bowling ball?'
But after all these years of seeing those strangely shaped Anomalies on TV, a bowling ball face couldn't scare them anymore.
The extra workers Makoto brought back from the other world were far more than just these two.
The main issue was that most of Nazarick's people were hostile to humans. He hadn't yet figured out how to arrange them.
He first placed Sebas and Pandora, whose personalities were relatively normal, here.
Well, among Nazarick's assortment of oddballs, Pandora the Chuunibyo was already considered relatively normal.
