Ever since I was reincarnated, I always wondered about something.

Why here?

That is to say, why into a regular Japanese boy? Usually, when regular people like me get reincarnated, it is to some sort of fantasy world, with magic and wonder, or maybe a futuristic world, with aliens and laser rifles.

This world is just like my old world, The only difference is that some companies and products have different names. And even those aren't that creative!

McDonald's is WacRonald's, and Burger King is Burger Prince.

KFC is still KFC, standing for Krispy Fried Chicken instead of Kentucky. Not to be confused with Korean Fried Chicken though, that's a totally different thing.

I won't even be surprised if it turns out that the biggest difference between this world and my old world is that the Titanic never hit the iceberg, and that caused a chain reaction that changed popular brand names.

"Hey Ken," Oki called out to me. "What do you think about that whole junior teaching thing that's starting soon?"

Issei and I are once more sitting in Oki's room, watching DVDs on his computer. Something that has become a regular occurrence for us in the last couple of years.

We're already sixth-year students, on our way to finishing elementary school and starting the next big chapter of our life.

For them it will be a dream to finally go to middle school!

For me, it'll be a nightmare.

Puberty for the second time, how horrible.

"I think that as long as I do a good job tutoring our Kohai's, the extra credit on my score will give me the record for the highest finals score in our school for the next few years," And that most likely will be true.

Having the brain chemistry of a child really makes learning that much easier when you're actually putting in the effort.

Issei chimes in, "But aren't the juniors we're tutoring only a year younger than us? How much could we really teach them?" And that is a good point, not only are we still in elementary, but we're sixth graders teaching fifth graders. There's not much we can teach them.

That is except for the fact that I am the smartest kid in our school, thanks to my power of having a chemical in my child brain that lets me soak up information and knowledge like a sponge.

"Oh Issei, you utter fool," I say, pushing my glasses up a bit as I put on the act of an anime villain explaining his evil plan to the heroes, "I will teach my dutiful minion- I mean kohai, my dutiful kohai how to solve Pythagoras theorem, something they won't be teaching till middle school. I will no doubt get the highest final score for that!" I finish it off by swinging my arm upwards as if I'm flicking away an insect from my sleeve.

I waited for the awkward silence to end so the two children would start applauding me for my brilliant plan!

"That's dumb, anyway, I got this new game for my PlayBox, wanna try it out?" Oki, Never change.

So the three of us started playing games on Matsuda's knockoff PlayStation.


......

"Okay students, you know what we're doing today?" Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Whatshisname said as we started our class. earning a reply of kids shouting about how excited they are to be teachers for a day.
