I Reincarnated as the Hero Group's Teacher Before the Exam

[Synopsis under revision. Posting this idea for now]

Before his teacher certification exam, Si Tingchen bowed to greet the examiner. The next second, an explosion roared beside him.

Before he could say, "Hello, Examiner," he looked up and realized he had transmigrated.

Ruins Reverie, a dark, brutal manga where everyone, from the main cast to the villains, is a deranged yandere.

The most-wanted fugitive, with a bounty higher than anyone else in the Thirteen Cities; a money merchant who puts profit above all else, arrogant and conceited; or a corrupter who operates in the shadows.

The three young people who were supposed to be the main cast were together only because their lives and interests were bound to one another.

They were at odds, constantly sabotaging each other and scheming. A terrible group with absolutely no teamwork.

One day, a powerful and mysterious character appeared, stepping into this utterly desolate world.

Si Tingchen stood on top of the protagonist and let out a gentle sigh. Beside him, the male lead, Chu Siyu, struggled and shouted in defiance, like a fierce but scrawny wolf pup.

He bent down, tightening the whip in his hand. The young man gently patted the face of the little beast:

"What a disobedient child."

Much, much later.

As the ruins' reverie swept across the entire planet and civilization collapsed,

it was only in the storm of their minds that everyone finally realized how gentle that ruthless man had been in secret.

He had kept all the darkness for himself.

"It was the darkest of times. The end of civilization was like the dying embers of fireworks, and the traces left behind by humanity were fragile beyond endurance.

"And so savagery and primitiveness returned, while thought itself died away."

"And he, our most beloved teacher,

"was the embodiment of civilization."

At first, Si Tingchen, who had been inexplicably dragged here, saddled with several students, and faced with the threat of unemployment as soon as he graduated, said: "You promised that if I taught these few properly, you'd give me a permanent position!"

Later, enduring the agony of being torn apart all over, he looked down at this world reborn among the ruins and laughed through a mouthful of blood:

"You've got some nerve, going after my students!"

Si Tingchen: A student of early childhood education, unlucky enough to transmigrate during an exam.

He looks hot-tempered and authoritarian, but has the heart of a doting mom. His principles are flexible.

#He has his profession carved into his bones (not really)#

#What kind of thing is a teacher... Hey! Don't you have your own teachers? This one is mine! (glares)#

#Again!? Si Tingchen, how many students are you going to take on!#

#I can't believe I'm not your only student! You heartless flirt!#

[Reading guide]

Possibly the author's last beautiful fantasy before their major drove them mad.

The characters' values do not represent the author's values.

Coming up with names is so hard. Title to be decided.

The pre-exam transmigration idea came from the internet.
