The next morning, while eating breakfast, Ren picked up his phone to browse some short videos. He was stunned when he saw the top trending topic:
**[Parent Scolds Teacher and Gets Removed from Group Chat]**
Wow, someone else had the same experience as him? This immediately piqued Ren's interest, and he looked more closely. As he read, he was even more surprised.
Even though the names in the chat screenshots were blurred out, the messages looked very familiar. He looked again and realized—oh, this was about him!
Ren instinctively opened the search bar and found that this incident had shot up to the top three trending topics. He was surprised and a little curious. Opening the comments, he found that almost everyone was on his side.
"Yeah, teachers these days are just too much!"
"Especially in elementary schools now, parents have to correct the homework and sign it. If there are mistakes, we get scolded? This just dumps the homework burden on parents!"
"Our generation has it rough. We had tons of homework as kids, and now, suddenly, the focus is on reducing kids' homework, which just dumps all the responsibility on us!"
"Some teachers don't teach properly in class and then make us parents correct the homework. If we do it wrong, we have to suck up and say thank you to the teacher."
"With the pressure from work already high, we still have to keep an eye on our phones for teacher notifications. If we reply late, we get called out. After work, we have to help kids with homework. If we can't keep up, we're accused of not caring about our kids. It's frustrating."
It seemed like this was a widespread issue. Previously, parents were often worried that if they argued back, their children would be targeted by the teacher. So they usually kept quiet.
But Ren didn't hold back this time. He directly confronted the teacher, and as more people shared their own similar experiences on social media, the topic exploded.
This incident resonated deeply with many parents. They shared their own stories of similar situations in class group chats, which only fueled the discussion. The topic quickly gained billions of views and even attracted the attention of a national news commentator, who criticized teachers for shirking their responsibilities.
In the age of the internet, information spreads fast. As the incident's source was identified, people realized it was Ren, the famous comic creator known as the Porter. Fans began tagging him, forcing Ren to respond publicly.
Just then, Ren received a message from Jada. The filming for "Kamen Rider Kuuga" was complete, and they needed to start promoting it. The timing was perfect. Riding the wave of his current popularity, they could attract a lot of attention.
But how should they promote it? Ren tapped his fingers on the armrest, thinking. Direct promotion would work, but he wanted to try something different this time. Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind.

"Ah, the Porter's 'Fullmetal Alchemist' is over. Now I only have 'Attack on Titan' and 'Bleach' to keep me in the anime world," Warren sighed, looking at his phone. "Ever since 'Ultraman Tiga' finished, the Porter's studio hasn't made a new Ultraman series. It's so boring."
Just then, his phone buzzed with a new notification. The person he followed had posted something new.
The only person he followed on that account was the Porter.
Could it be a new work? Warren's eyes lit up. The Porter usually posted about new projects.
He quickly opened the post. It wasn't a new project announcement, but a photo of a dark room.
In the picture, there was a large coffin, with torches burning around it, lighting up the strange symbols on the walls. Each symbol had its own picture.
Along with the pictures was a single line from Ren:
*"Recently, I found a cave in the mountains and discovered these strange symbols and a large coffin. Can anyone tell me what these symbols mean?"*
The post was only a few minutes old, but it already had many comments.
"This looks so fake."
"Yeah, right. A cave? In the mountains? And you have cell service there?"
"Maybe he took the pictures and then went to the city to post them?"
"But these symbols are interesting."
"Looks like a bunch of random doodles to me."
"Could these be a new language created by the Porter?"
"No way. That would be amazing!"
Many didn't believe Ren's story, but some were genuinely intrigued by the symbols and started analyzing them, thinking they might be an ancient language.
There are always people fascinated by mysterious things. In the past, fans of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" loved the Elvish language he created. Some even composed beautiful songs in it.
With the earlier parent-teacher incident still trending, people who weren't originally fans of Ren also started paying attention to his posts, increasing the buzz.
Some fans speculated that it might be related to the ancient human language from "Ultraman Tiga" and wondered if there would be a sequel.
Finally, when Ren felt the buzz had reached its peak, he posted another update, revealing the meaning of the symbols.
*"Turns out, it's for a new project!"*
"Whoa, creating a whole new language for a show? I've only heard of that in 'Star Trek,' but that's a huge series. This is just for one show?"
"Kamen Rider Kuuga"? I thought it was a new Ultraman series! If not, then forget it!"*
