Furuhashi Natsui turned on the air conditioner in her room and wrapped herself with a blanket. She had two mobile phones, one was used to talk to her sisters, and another one was used to communicate with the members of ‘Kimura Kazuki’s Fan Club.’

The members of the fan club were in the midst of a discussion. They intended to print some posters with Kimura Kazuki’s portrait and paste them in the fan club’s classrooms, reckoning that this would create a better atmosphere.

“What’s with Kimura! What are you talking about, Akino? You’re a self-centered brute that needs to stop addressing me as Gabriel! You are the first one to be caught, yet you have the audacity to make imbecile remarks in the group!” She was infuriated as she read Akino’s text.

“Didn’t we form the Great Angels Alliance to fight against the Great Demons? Our group name has even been changed to the ‘Great Angels Alliance.’ Me? I was caught only when I was trying to spy on the enemy. Nonetheless, the existence of the patrolling troops will never be mentioned in history.”

“Hehe.”

“Hehe.”

“Hehe.”

“What are you laughing at! Natsui, this is all your fault. You were easily swayed the last time little aunt attempted to hex us, and you consequently influenced Harunaka and Fuyuno. Kimura, the Great Demon, became our home tutor! You are the traitor who brought Kimura, the Great Demon to our place, which supposedly belongs to the angels! You must be the Fallen Angel!”

Harunaka and Fuyuno remained in their rooms, overwhelmed by guilt as they read the text. They were too afraid to speak, trying to shy away from the conversation.

Furuhashi Natsui replied furiously, “So, why didn’t you voice out back then? I only wanted to help Senior Kimura when I agreed to have him as our tutor.”

Furuhashi Natsui was considerably someone who understood Kimura Kazuki the most. Knowing that he was indigent and led a frugal life, she wanted to help him in a way that would not hurt his pride. That was why she thought that it was a good idea to hire Senior Kimura as their home tutor.

However, it was not an overnight task to change the attitude of the sisters who detested learning.

“Why didn’t you persist?” Naturally, Furuhashi Akino refused to admit her inattentiveness during the meal. Leisurely lying on the sofa, she snorted as she typed efficiently, “Why are you acting immature? You were keen to help Senior Kimura and offered him to be our home tutor. Yet, you barely committed to the lessons for a few days. Are you toying with him?”

The three of them failed to rebut.

“So what should we do now, Akino?” Harunaka asked.

“First of all, I disagree with the idea of hiring Senior Kimura as our private tutor,” Despite saying that, she did not think of Kimura Kazuki as a substandard teacher. However, it was undeniable that they were not born as diligent students. In fact, she felt that they did not need a home tutor at all, as they would be terribly exhausted if they were forced to learn.

Someone knocked on the door…

“Harunaka-san.”

Upon hearing the knocks on the door, Furuhashi Harunaka texted, “Senior is knocking on my door now. What should I do? Should I open the door and confront him?”

Apparently, Akino had successfully convinced Harunaka. More precisely, she was not eager to learn and study. Fuyuno seemed to share the same thoughts. On the other hand, Natsui was the only undecided one because she thought it would be beneficial to learn new knowledge to help out her peers.

“Don’t do that…” Furuhashi Akino continued to type on her phone, “Let’s talk to little aunt after Senior Kimura leaves. Then, we shall ask for little aunt’s favor to find Senior Kimura another job!”

The group chat went silent as though all of them had come to a consensus.

Before long, Kimura Kazuki went down to the other floor. He knocked on all the doors, but no one answered him. Then, he approached Furuhashi Akino, who was still lazing on the sofa and said in an indifferent tone, “Akino-san, please assemble the rest of them. I have an announcement to make.”

“Harunaka and the girls are not at home. They’re out.”

Kimura Kazuki took a seat. Grinning, he said in a soft tone, “I’m not here to teach today. I’m here to tender my resignation.”

“What?” Akino was dumbstruck, “Senior… you want to resign?”

“Yes,” Kimura Kazuki nodded. In fact, he did not have the intention to resign before he arrived at their place as this job was providing him good pay. However, the realization hit him hard when he was rejected, finally discerning their reluctance to learn. He struggled to make the Furuhashi sisters study as no sort of punishment was allowed in this household. He was positive that there would be more conflicts in the future if he stayed.

Moreover, he did not want to get paid for doing anything as his character would not allow him to do so.

After some consideration, Kimura Kazuki decided that the best thing to do was to resign. The ending seemed to have been set the moment he accepted the job offer to be the home tutor for the sisters. Despite being only a relieved teacher, it was nonetheless his first time being a tutor and was undoubtedly inexperienced. Being an amateur, he couldn’t tame the four girls if the professionals failed to achieve the goal.

Furthermore, he had been engrossed in the research of Enchanted Talisman and reiki since his past life. He had absolutely no experience in teaching. That was also the reason why he was merely a doctoral student but not a lecturer.

His violent and cruel teaching method was one of the reasons that guaranteed the hard work of the students in the Sword Believers’ Club. On top of that, the students of the Sword Believers’ Club were all ambitious and disciplined, not to mention that they were constantly under someone’s watch.

The scenario was similar when he replaced another teacher. Having heard of his fierce reputation, the students were fearful and afraid to speak during his classes. He had a rather easy time back then. Relying on his past experiences, he confidently accepted the job offer to be the home tutor to the Furuhashi sisters.

Of course, his decision to resign was based on thorough consideration. He had now acquired Yagyu Isshin’s kendo’s legacy. Although his Kendo skills were not at its peak, he was still categorized as one of the elites. He could actually earn the same amount from being a trainer at the Kendo Gym as being a home tutor.

Even if the pay of a trainer could be slightly lower than a private tutor, he could take up a part-time job to work as a Chinese to Japanese translator.

He intended to seek for translation job before this. However, as he reckoned that he would be earning a sufficient amount from being a home tutor, he did not want to bear unnecessary burdens as he wished to focus on his practices.

Shocked, Furuhashi Akino immediately reached her phone to inform the other girls via text.

Before long, Furuhashi Harunaka and the other girls had arrived.

They looked at Kimura Kazuki, who was sitting right there, with an awkward expression.

“Please have a seat,” Kimura Kazuki smiled. He had cooled himself down from the frustration he had after he was repeatedly rejected at their doors. Before the girls could speak, he said, “To be honest, I have a question. Miss Nagayama told me that you were against the idea of having a tutor. However, all of you agreed when you found out that I would be your tutor. Why is that so?”

Kimura Kazuki had made a lot of preparations for this job. He helped to arrange funds for Harunaka’s Kendo Association and resolved the fight between Akino and Fuyuno. But according to Sena Nagayama, Furuhashi Natsui was the most earnest to the idea of having him as their tutors.

All gaze landed on Natsui when Kimura Kazuki raised his doubt.

Furuhashi Natsui avoided their eyes. Eventually, she had nowhere to hide, but to answered softly and guiltily, “Senior, I’ve always admired you, you’re an inspiration to me. You perfectly managed Sakura Kyu and changed its atmosphere thoroughly. At the same time, you managed to remain the status as the number-one student academically. I did a background check on you and found out that you did not come from a well-off family. I thought that you should not be restricted financially.”

That’s why…

Kimura Kazuki felt relieved. He put a grin on his face and said, “Thank you.”
