Thread: A Different Kind of Teacher (CLOSED)

RE A Different Kind of Teacher Yuna Ironic's 1x1 Hitsuki Takeda Damnit! Hitsuki exclaimed as he woke with a start, glancing quickly to the clock resting on the bedside mantle. Of course, of all the things he forgot, it had to be the alarm clock. Thankfully, however, it was still early. Besides, he could cheat a bit to ensure he arrived in time. But first, he needed to get into the proper attire for this job. Sitting up, he pulled out a black pair of pants, white button up top, white socks, and black shoes. He knew he should have bothered with a damn tie, but those things looked frustrating. And he was pressed for time as it was. The last thing Hitsuki needed to do was waste more time and risking becoming tardy. After scanning around the room, he grabbed the manilla folder, held them in his hands, and glanced up as if trying to peer at the sky through the wall of the inn. Computer. Teleport me to my new destination, now! This is an urgent order! Another daring move but it had certainly paid off. And thankfully, he arrived in one of the many empty halls, not in front of a student or teacher. He began to guide himself toward the principal's office, arriving after using the signs to help find his way in but a few moments. After about ten minutes or so, Hitsuki was officially accepted and told that his own textbook was still in the English classroom. Apparently, the old instructor had to transfer, leave, something of the like. But in the midst of doing so, he had been generous enough to leave the needed materials behind for whomever took his position. Hitsuki had to admit that he found this a bit ironic. The human portion of him was Japanese. Yet he was about to teach English. It seemed like this was the wrong class he was going to. He could speak and write it decently, mind you. But each new step made him begin to doubt if this was the correct way to go through with his assignment. His head shook from side to side as he took a long, steady breath. Don't be foolish. It can't be that hard. Besides, isn't that why they're students? They're the ones here to learn, not you? He gave himself an affirmative nod before arriving at the door. After taking another slight breath, he opened the door and walked inside. While he was glad that most of the class had quieted down, the sights and sounds of snickering had definitely gotten his attention. Worse off, said pupils hadn't stopped. No. They were still going. He first tried clearing his throat to get everyone's attention. Ahem. Excuse me. When that didn't work, he knew instantly what to do, likely due to instinct more than anything. Reaching back, he grabbed a spare piece of chalk and hurled it right at the desk of the disobedient teenager. It hit the dead center of the desk only but it did get rather close to having hit his forehead. Now then, if you all are done .... Hitsuki walked forward, retrieving the chalk and holding it in his hand. I realize this is the United States and not Japan that I am in. However, if I must resort to a few typical traditions, I will. Clearly, a new set of rules needs to be established before the real lesson is started up it seems. I'm going to write them all up on the board. I expect you all to stay silent and read once I finish. If I hear any out of place snickering or worse, you will get extra assignments or detention, whichever is deemed necessary. The lingering threat seemed to help get and maintain the students' attention because as he turned his back to them, nothing was heard. It made a slight smirk cross his face as he began to write - rather neatly too - upon the chalkboard. When he moved away, everyone would be able to read the following Mr. Hitsuki Takeda's Rules -Be on time. There will be consequences if you are late without a good reason i.e. doctor appointment, family emergency, etc.. -Respect. Give this to me and your classmates. -Turn in all assignments on time. Anything late will be graded accordingly, with points reduced by a certain amount depending on how tardy it is. -No cheating, be it on a homework assignment, quiz, or test. -I have the right to add or alter any rules as I see it appropriate. However, you will be informed when such alterations happen. -Failure to comply with any of the above listed can and will - if needed - result in punishments ranging from extra homework to detention to something else I deem appropriate. Everyone clear on these? Despite seeing most of the class nod, he wanted to make damn well sure. And that came in the form of his own pop quiz. I will head over to the library for a few moments and pick out an appropriate piece of literature to teach you all. I will return with enough copies for myself and everyone here. I will expect to return to a silent and more welcoming classroom. Leaving little to no room for arguing, he turned on his feet and opened the door once again, gently closing it. Even after leaving, there it was again that nagging sensation he had been found out about last night. His head shook as he tried to dismiss the feeling and focus on the task. Taking brisk and new confident steps, Hitsuki began heading toward the library.
