How to Eliminate My Teacher (Sensei wo Kesu Houteishiki / 先生を消す方程式)

Oh, shit, I'm totally late!

Me too!

I still haven't revised for today's lesson!

I'm supposed to meet the principal today!

You know…

I know you're in a rush, but can I say something?

Sure, what is it?

Let's have a kiss before you leave.

Gosh! Sorry. Let's leave that for tonight!

Hey! What if we can never kiss again?

That's impossible.

Hey!

In life, unexpected things will occur.

And that can happen to anyone.

TEISEN PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

TSUNEO YOSHIZAWA

Mr. Yoshizawa.

I've heard about your achievements thus far.

KIYOSHI SAKURA

I have high hopes for you.

If anything happens due to my educational methods,

feel free to dismiss me.

I hope that doesn't happen.

You're right.

Mr. Yorita.

Yes?

I'm the assistant teacher for Class 3-D.

My name is Asahi Yorita.

I'll be in your care.

Pleased to work with you.

ASAHI YORITA CLASS 3-D TEACHER ASSISTANT

Are you wondering about this injury?

I got it back in high school.

It's courageous of you to not cover it up.

Mr. Yoshizawa.

Class 3-D is more troublesome than you think.

I'm prepared for that much.

Currently, Teisen High School has

a 60% acceptance rate for the University of Tokyo.

That's wonderful.

We have many outstanding students in Class 3-D,

and we have the Four Celebrities, or 4C in short.

The first student is Toya Fujiwara.

His father is a high-ranking prosecutor.

He's popular and is a model student.

We have no issues with him, the problem lies with the other three.

-I don't dislike students like these. -Second, Yumi Nagai.

She's a popular influencer,

and her mother's Hana Nagai.

She's the famous doctor we see on TV, right?

-Yumi aspires to be a doctor too. -Thanks.

She is said to be on track for Todai's Medical Faculty.

Only people like me can use things like this.

It's not something you can use.

Next is Nagi Oki.

Her parent is the president of the popular F&B chain, Gyoza Life.

I often purchase their products.

She often finds sugar daddies for her classmates

and makes them earn money for her.

-You better work harder. Got it? -Sorry.

And the last student is Riki Tsurugi, also the most troublesome one.

A construction company president's son and a politician's nephew.

-That's amazing. -His family is the school's biggest donor.

That's his excuse to do whatever he pleases here.

You garbage.

Remember that.

Don't you dislike them already?

No, I don't.

Oh, Ms. Machiko!

Good morning.

This is Mr. Yoshizawa, who will be the teacher-in-charge for Class 3-D.

Oh, my, what a stud!

I'm the school nurse, Machiko Yasuda.

Please address me as Ms. Machiko!

"How embarrassing!"

What was that?

So do you have a girlfriend?

What are you saying?

I do.

We've been together for ten years.

Oh, my! You said it just like that!

-I'll see you at the next get-together. -Yes.

All right, shall we head to the classroom now?

What's… the matter?

You have a pretty face, Mr. Asahi.

What?

Stop that! That should be my line, Mr. Yoshizawa.

You're prettier, Mr. Asahi.

No, what are you saying?

Ouch, it hurts.

What's the matter?

Well, whenever I feel uneasy

or when I'm nervous, my scar starts to throb.

It feels like the pain stopped.

CLASS 3-D

They're here!

Everyone.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This is Mr. Tsuneo Yoshizawa,

and he will be the class adviser starting today.

Everyone, listen up--

Mr. Asahi.

Good morning, everyone!

I will be in charge of this class from today onwards.

My name's Tsuneo Yoshizawa, and I teach Mathematics.

"Tsuneo Yoshizawa."

So Yoshitsune in short?

As expected.

Many people call me that.

Then can we address you as Mr. Yoshitsune?

Of course.

Excuse me!

Since you aren't teaching us, can we do some self-study?

I hope you can at least listen for a bit.

Mr. Yoshitsune, where did you graduate from?

Is it the University of Tokyo?

Unfortunately, you're wrong.

Isn't it strange for someone who didn't graduate there

to teach students aiming for that university?

Everyone--

Actually…

Just go back already!

I'm sorry, but I can't leave.

Why are you smiling the entire time?

It's disgusting!

If my face has offended you, I apologize. However…

DAILY LIFE X SMILE = FORTUNE

If you smile every day, fortune is sure to be with you.

This is a formula that I keep in mind every day.

This mathematical formula of yours…

I like it, Mr. Yoshitsune.

As expected of Toya.

I see you inherited your intellect

from your father, who works with the police force.

What? Wait a minute!

So everyone other than Toya has no intellect?

That's a questionable remark!

I'm reporting that to the Board of Education.

I apologize.

That was not my intention.

Since you just said something rude,

shouldn't you kneel and beg for forgiveness?

I'm very sorry.

Gross.

One more thing.

You can listen to it, if you are interested.

In life, things you never expect to happen might happen.

A plague that you never knew existed months ago

might be spreading, and the world might change.

Are you referring to an epidemic?

The same thing can happen in your lives as well.

Something unexpected can happen all of a sudden,

no matter good or bad.

You guys are still young,

so the chances of that happening might be a lot lower.

Is that really so?

Maybe it was never said, but things are already in motion.

Even if things like that happen,

I hope you can overcome it with your smiles.

That's what I wanted to tell everyone.

Sorry.

You were so noisy that my hand slipped.

Riki…

Got any complaints?

No.

I don't dislike…

actions like this.

-I'm digging in. -I'm digging in!

Mr. Yoshizawa.

It's better not to get too involved in their matters.

They are a handful to deal with.

I don't dislike having to deal with troublesome matters.

Same goes for this bowl of ramen too.

Is eating this super-spicy ramen part of your training?

That is true.

Ouch, that's spicy!

-It's spicy. -Is it really that spicy?

That's spicy!

You just had an indirect kiss with me.

-Oh, I guess that was sweet! -No, it isn't sweet at all.

Mr. Asahi.

How long has it been since Mei Ibuki stopped attending school?

It's been half a year.

Was he bullied in school?

I heard he has some family circumstances too.

"To cast a black magic on someone,

prepare two wooden branches, a string, and a rock."

I'll visit him next time.

Mr. Yoshitsune.

Please don't be reckless.

I've already seen three teachers quit because of this class.

I don't dislike this.

You know…

There are so many interesting students in my new class.

It makes my job worthwhile.

Good morning, everyone!
