First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter which opens a new story arc, and once again Sayaka Maizono will get to be the main focus of this arc, and a rather familiar face appears which would cause discomfort for the Super High School-level Idol, and this would cause Naegi to get involved as he too will be dragged the moment he see who this person is that would cause Maizono a lot of EMOTIONAL TROUBLE, so read on and enjoy!
At Hope's Peak Academy, the scene shifts to Jin Kirigiri's office where you can see Jin reading a folder which contains a resume of an applicant who wishes to work at the academy, and as Jin read the resume, he saw the photo, and there he became a bit concerned upon seeing it, and though he read the info on he resume, he is a bit unsure about this and by then his secretary came and there she then told him that the applicant is outside, and asks him if he should entertain him or not, believing that this would cause awkward and rather alarming problem to a certain class.
"Principal Kirigiri."
"Yes?"
"The applicant is waiting outside."
"..."
"I know it sounds hard and awkward for you, but we should give HIM a chance. Its not his fault that he resembled someone physically, but what matters is his academic accomplishments, and that is the criteria when it comes to applying a job here."
"I know."
"Then shall I call him in...?"
"..."
Jin thought about it for at least five minutes, and saw the logic in his secretary's words, and after some thought, he decided to entertain the applicant and there he will judge the applicant if he would deserve the chance to work at Hope's Peak Academy as a teacher, and told the secretary to let the applicant in, and soon the applicant came in, and Jin glanced at the applicant from head to toe, then glanced at the resume, and he motions the applicant to sit down and there the job interview commences.
"Please sit down."
"Thank you, sir."
"So you wish to work here as a teacher, correct?"
"Yes, sir."
"And I assume you know the risks of applying for a job here...especially concerning a certain issue about you..."
"I do."
"So are you prepared for what the students here might think of you?"
"I am prepared for that, sir.".
Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Ch. 76: Atarashi no Sensei
At Hope's Peak Academy, a few days later, the scene shows that various students have gotten word that a new teacher would be teaching at the academy and are wondering what subject this new teacher would teach, as some were expecting a female and hoped that she would be very attractive while female students are expecting that the new teacher would be a guy with good looks, and they made a lot of comments about this new teacher and are expressing various comments among themselves hoping that something good would happen.
"A new teacher?"
"Really...?"
"I hope she's a cutie."
"Me too...something to give me a HARD-ON..."
"Maybe its a guy...cute and handsome."
"I would like to date him one day..."
"Are you GAY?"
"Ha-ha-ha..."
The word about this rumor eventually reaches the classroom where the Class of 78 is there and the students there are wondering what type of teacher they would meet, in which each of them, are assuming that the new teacher would be assigned to a subject of their choice, such as Asahina believes that it would be a P. E. teacher, while Chihiro thinks that the new teacher would be more on computers, though Togami told his classmates to expect this new teacher would be strict and unfriendly, which the others rebutted as he never seen the teacher before.
"No way, Togami."
"I think the new teacher is approachable."
"Maybe he is friendly."
"And probably someone I can milk money from him..."
"Celes-chan!"
"Then we should expect the unexpected."
"Really, Sakura-chan?"
"Yes."
By then Ibuki Mioda shows up and called for Maizono and Kuwata, in which the two went outside and there Ibuki said that the new teacher will start teaching here in a few days from now and that she told the two that a record producer is planning to do a collaboration which involves her, Kuwata and Maizono, in which they are surprised that the producer would plan such a project and are unsure since Maizono is into pop music though Kuwata thinks that he and Ibuki might do work together due to their similar genre in their type of music.
"Really, Mioda-san?"
"The three of us are going to do a music collaboration?"
"Yup! Ibuki says it is since my manager told me to tell you about this!"
"Um...I don't know..."
"Huh? Are you doubting my words?"
"I think she has a point, Mioda...being an idol...she's into pop music...ours is on heavy metal stuff...so I'm not sure if your manager's suggestion would be good."
"Hmm...you may have a point."
"I'll ask my manager first before I give mt answer."
"Take your time. We are flexible."
By then, the bell rang and it was time for the first subject of each class, and the three musically-talented students went back to their respective classrooms and are awaiting for their teacher to arrive, and soon Homeroom subject began, where the teacher informed them about the rumor regarding the new teacher, and Asahina asked if this new teacher would be a P.E. teacher, in which the Homeroom teacher said that he doesn't know since he hasn't seen him yet and Togami asks if this new teacher is strict, which the homeroom teacher said that he has no idea, and there the other students began inquiring what kind of teacher would they be expecting, which the teacher had to address.
"Is he kind?"
"Well..."
"Is he approachable?"
"Um..."
"Is he cute? Good-looking?"
"Actually..."
"Is he rich?"
"Class...please calm down."
The Homeroom teacher could only say that in a few days from now the new teacher is still being interviewed by the headmaster and the announcement would be made a few days from now and he told them that once the new teacher is introduced to the staff, then he would tell the students what to expect from this new teacher, which seemed to satisfy the queries from the class, and as time passed, Homeroom ended and the next subject took place and tbe students began to bring out their notebooks and prepare for the next subject at hand.
-x-
As the day ended, classes are dismissed and the students are seen leaving the academy and things went on as usual, and at the rooftop of the academy, you can see Naegi and Maizono hanging out, and hey are enjoying each others' company as they are looking forward on who this new teacher is and Naegi assumes that the new teacher would be a friendly one which Maizono agreed, and the subject was changed when she told him that a music project is being worked out, where she and her idol band would do a collaboration with Ibuki and Kuwata.
"Really, Maizono-san? I think it would be interesting."
"I don't know."
"Why not?"
"Our style of music might clash and may not be a hit among music fans..."
"Why not wait until the recording starts. That way you would know what kind of music would be used. Your managers would not agree to this if they do not know what kind of music you three would be using, so at least look forward to it until the actual recording starts."
"You're right. Thanks."
"Its okay."
"Naegi-kun..."
Naegi smiled though he wondered how this would turn out since each of the three have varying music genre and she said that the producer would iron things out and expects that the project would be a success which Naegi decided to support her and she smiled and thanked him, in which she hugged him and he did the same, as the two would grow closer to each other, emotionally, and by then Ibuki came and found the two, and there she smirked as she suspected something from the two and she began teasing them, playfully threatening to tell the other students that Naegi and Maizono are dating, which the other two were forced to rebut as they want to keep it a secret for now.
"Aha! Ibuki caught you!"
"Ibuki-chan!"
"Mioda-san!"
"This is gonna be a scoop!"
"Wait!"
"Its not what you think!"
"Then are you two hugging?"
"Well...its like..."
"Maizono-san and I are close friends...yeah...that's right! Close friends!"
Ibuki laughed and told them she was just kidding, but asked if the two are really dating, in which Maizono admitted that she and Naegi are dating in secret and begged Ibuki to keep it a secret, which Ibuki assured that she'll keep it a secret and Maizono thanked her, and there Ibuki told Maizono that the producer is ironing out the details on when the recording would start and said that she and Kuwata would have to be ready as the producer would give the tentative date by next week, and Maizono thanked her and Ibuki nodded before leaving.
After that, Naegi and Maizono leaves the rooftop as well and began walking out of the academy, not noticing that other students are starting to get suspicious at how close Maizono and Naegi are, wondering if they are dating or not and began whispering to themselves what they think about this, some expressing envy that an ordinary boy like Naegi is hanging out with a popular idol like Maizono, and thinks that Naegi is trying to win her heart which the others resented this.
"Is that Naegi trying to woo Maizono?"
"Him? An ordinary guy?"
"What does he have that we don't?"
"Does Maizono really like guy like Naegi?"
"Don't tell me LUCK is hus talent..."
"That Naegi...!"
"He really is a LUCKY bastard...!"
"I'm gonna kill him..."
Several hours later, it was dismissal time and the scene shifts outside the academy, Naegi and Maizono began hanging out at a mall, strolling, and this caught the attention of the fans and they flocked her asking for autographs which she obliges, and Naegi stood there smiling seeing that she is having a good time, but then a pair of eyes is seen staring at Maizono, then at Naegi, and the aura gives of a calm, but malicious intent, and stood there for a few minutes before seeing the two teens leaving, and the stalker began to secretly follow the two, eventually following them to Maizono's house where he saw Naegi dropping her off before leaving, and as Naegi left and Maizono went inside her house, the stalker glanced at her house, observing, then left.
-x-
A few days later, the scene shifts to the classroom where the Class of 78 is, and as Naegi and Maizono are chatting with each other, Hagakure approached them and there he spoke to Maizono in a rather concerning tone, in which he said that last night, while cleaning his crystal ball, he accidentally reads a fortune, and it points out to Maizono, saying that from this point on, she would encounter problems and danger would strike her, in which she dismisses it thinking the fortune involves her upcoming recording project with Kuwata and Ibuki.
"...I see. Thanks, Hagakure-san...but I will pull through...if the album does not sell...then its okay."
"Actually..."
"Sorry...but I'm not into fortune telling..."
"But Maizono-chi...its not about music...its about you..."
"I know...I would get tons of suitors...but I will focus on only one boy."
"Geez...just listen to what I'm about to tell you..."
"Not listening."
"Geez..."
Naegi watches the two bicker, but then he is starting to take notice of Hagakure's prediction, as in the past most of his prediction came through, yet he wondered what Hagakure is referring to, until the homeroom teacher came and told the class to behave as he is going to introduce the new teacher that will start working in the academy today, which some of the class appeared eager to see what kind of teacher this person is, and Asahina began asking the homeroom teacher what gender this new teacher is and he answered it much to everyone's reactions.
"So...is the new teacher a guy?"
"Yes, he is a man."
"A man?"
"And I thought it was a girl..."
"I even put on my best cologne..."
"I hope he is rich enough..."
"Celes-chan!"
"Now simmer down, everyone...here is the new teacher."
By then the homeroom teacher introduced the new teacher, and as the new teacher came in, the class stood up and bowed as well as greeting him, but Naegi and Maizono did not, as they stood still with a VERY SHOCKED look on their faces, and as the class sits down, they noticed their two classmates' reactions and they appeared baffled to see Naegi and Maizono giving such a reaction, as Maizono went beside Naegi, clutching his arm tightly as he stood in front of Maizono, protecting her while giving a protective nature, as the new teacher appeared to look like her former manager, Taren Tomaneja, who was dead several months ago, but his appearance sent shockwave to both Naegi and Maizono, and the homeroom teacher told the two students to sit down which the two did not, as they remained standing and stared at the new teacher in shock and surprise, feeling that they saw a dead man coming back to haunt them.
To Be Continued... .
