Emotional Damage

Despite taking emotional damage from Shiwahime's scathing remarks—like a random passerby attack I never even needed to suffer—I finally arrived at the gym. After waiting for a bit inside, the teacher arrived about two minutes late.

He was an unkempt man with a scruffy beard, exuding a rugged demeanor. Unlike Hanyu-sensei, who, even when weary, still had a hint of charm, this guy looked rough.

Yet, despite his disheveled appearance, there was an undeniable aura about him—a sense that this man wasn't an ordinary individual. The worn-out tracksuit only added to his image as a seasoned P.E. teacher from days past.

"Hanyu-sensei's stint is over, so I'll be taking over your class starting today. My name is Seizawa Hakuto," he announced. "I've been teaching at Hero High School for five years now. Before that, I worked for the Dungeon Foundation, taking down criminals who misused their blessings. Basically, I beat the crap out of people who abused their power."
