A God Wannabe In Tensura

[Ch 4.1] Substitute

. . .

The next day

"So, what exactly do I have to do?" I asked Yuuki who's walking beside me

"You'll just watch over them during your time with the kids and during breaks, you can teach them if you want to"

"In other words, am I a substitute teacher now?"

"Yes" he smile widely

. . . 'I'm doing this to pass the time, I'm doing this to pass the time, I'm doin-' I repeatedly thought

"Also, don't worry about them being a headache, the last caretaker helped a lot to calm them down"

"that's good news"

"Yes, good luck on your first day" He then turn around and left

So now, here I am Infront of the classroom

. . . 'heh, how bad can it be?'

The moment I entered, a fireball much bigger than what was used against Rimuru back then is thrown at me

I didn't reflect it as it'll cause big damage for the kids and building. So instead I just let it hit me while still containing it so that it doesn't spread anywhere

. . . 'let's just watch their reaction for now'

"Wow your flame got even bigger Kenya-kun"

"You even contained it so that it doesn't spread anywhere else!"

Instead of happy, Ryota's and Alice's praise only made Kenya confused "Wait, I didn't do that"

Even his spirit come out and say "I only made the flame stronger, I didn't do anything else"

It was only now that they start to worry

"wait don't tell me..."

"N-no way right?"

"D-did I just..."

"No, hold yourself together, there's no way that you killed him, big bro Yuuki told us that He's a strong adventurer!" Gale try to reassure him

. . . 'I can pretend to be dead right now, but maybe that's too far'

<<It's definitely too far, you'll make them traumatized>>

. . . 'figures'

Anyhow, let's just clear up things first

"yeah calm down kid, there's no way a fire this cold could hurt me"

Everyone obviously is surprised that I talked despite being covered in flames

"A-are you okay sir?" Kenya asked

"Of course I am!" I pull all flame around me into a ball on my hand "Like I said, your flame is too cold" I took a bite of the ball

Their expression now are all either dumbfounded or scared

"Anyway, I suppose I'm your caretaker from now on" I took another bite before smiling

.

"Alright, let's start today with attendance check!" I try to be a cheerful teacher

"Kenya Misaki?"
"HERE!!" he replied overenthusiastic, probably scared because of the event that just happened
