Huh? I'm the Boss's Teacher?

[The main story is complete. Writing is hard, so please support the official release!] Yan Chi is an orphan who struggled to support himself every step of the way. One day, he received a job offer from a school with great pay and benefits, so he promptly packed his things and went there. On his first day, one of his students died in a classroom fight. Yan Chi was so shocked that he fainted, and the principal rushed him to the infirmary. The next day, the student who was supposed to be dead came to apologize, looking full of remorse. Yan Chi fainted again, and the principal turned into an ambulance once more. By his nth day at work, Yan Chi had learned to take all his students’ bizarre behavior in stride. A student died? No problem. He’d come back to life on his own. A student resurrected someone who had died? No problem. He’d just bury them again. A flower a student had grown bit a cow to death? No problem. The student had already given him a pot of one. None of the students were human? No problem. He was human. Later, Yan Chi discovered that he wasn’t human either. With goji berries steeping in his thermos, Yan Chi took it all in stride: no problem, none of the people around him were human. … There was a rumor in the infinite game that all the bosses in its various instances knew one another and had been classmates. In a world inaccessible to players, there was a school that every boss had graduated from. Players unlucky enough to stumble into that school still spoke of it with fear. “There’s no way to beat those little bosses… It’s a dead end… But their teacher is really nice. If you want to survive, you have to cling to him.” One day, two infinite-game instances merged. The players were being hounded by the bosses and crying in despair when two of the bosses suddenly came together. The players overheard their conversation. Boss No. 1: “Finished your homework? Let me copy it.” Boss No. 2: “No way. The teacher will check.” Then the two bosses started fighting. The players: ??? Bonus scene: One day, Yan Chi suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar world. The people around him told him he was now inside an instance, and that he was terribly unlucky: this was an ultra-S-rank instance with an extremely terrifying boss, and no player had ever cleared it. In other words, they were doomed. Yan Chi was terrified. When the boss appeared to hunt them, Yan Chi exclaimed in surprise, “Are you Mr. So-and-so’s parent? Your child failed this exam, so while we have the chance, I’d like to talk to you about what’s going wrong.” The boss turned and ran. “Teacher, you’ve got the wrong person!” Coming soon: Do Sickly Sword Spirits Have to End Up in a Love Triangle Too? Here’s the blurb: After dying of an illness, Luo Ling transmigrated into a cultivation novel about a chosen-one hero. He became a tool-person sword spirit whose job was to give the hero a golden finger, teach him techniques, and take swords and injuries for him. Luo Ling: “…” Let someone else be that pitiful tool-person. He certainly wasn’t going to. He’d just go to sleep and call it a day. So when the hero obtained the divine sword, he found a sickly sword spirit who had fallen into a deep slumber. To keep the protagonist from relying on him and make him fend for himself, Luo Ling played up his sickly persona to the utmost. When the hero was bullied, Luo Ling would clutch his chest and cough softly, letting his eyes turn red at just the right moment. In the most shamelessly manipulative tone, he’d say, “You know my previous master perished, and I was his bonded sword. My soul is about to dissipate…” The hero immediately cradled him tenderly and promised through choked sobs, “I’ll grow stronger. I’ll find a way to cure you.” Luo Ling: “Heh heh.” Who said being sickly was a bad thing? This was just wonderful. But things gradually started to go wrong. The hero’s master shamelessly tried to take the sword from his disciple. “You’re so weak. He’ll only suffer if he stays with you.” The hero’s sinister senior fellow disciple looked friendly. “Is Ah Ling feeling better? Let him come out. I only want to see him, I won’t do anything else.” The former master’s immortal friend said, “My friend is gone. I’ll take care of you from now on.” The former master, who had come back from the dead, shouted, “All of you, get out!” Luo Ling retreated in fright. These people were so depraved they wouldn’t even spare a sword spirit! Theme: Students are the future of the world.
