Jayr POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  Almost a month passed sihe successful meeting with the principal of the Yodobashi Elementary School in which we quickly reached an agreement and pleted all the procedures needed for my hiring as an English Teacher taking the pce of the despicable Ainara Hisoka, who was arrested some time ago and that retly died impaled in the ass by a metal staff during an attempted mass breakout because of some freak act.

  Anyway, after being successfully hired by the Yodobashi Elementary School, I spent this period of time iive peace, while getting to know my future colleagues, remembering the school's yout, and preparing the curriculums for the csses that were assigo me.

  Luckily there is no strict curriculum set down by the Japanese Ministry of Education, instead, there are a series of guidelines one has to follow.

  In a few words, the guidelines mainly say that children should be exposed to and be able to experience fn nguages, fn lifestyles, and fn s and that these should all be at a level that is suitable for the kids and done in a positive, hands-on fashion.

  They also reend that fn nguages should be in the form of "suitable songs, games, simple greetings, skits, etc."

  Furthermore, exges with other schools, sister cities, and native speakers should be promoted in an iing, positive way.

  It also says that the lessons should be fun and that the kids should e out of it thinking "English is iing!" in addition, the guidelines also say that Elementary School English should not be a preparation for Junih School English but an introdu to the nguage and s in general.

  Oher element that is stressed is the tration on listening and speaking elements as hours of grammar study or starting with the "ABCs"s are definitely out of the question, this st one especially took me by surprise as it is the totally opposite of my own personal experien learning a fn nguage in my past life, but I also not ashamed to admit that I learned fn nguages more easily by watg anime subbed in Frend Spanish than by looking at books for hours without any signifit progress.

  In the handbook they gave me it also says that English should NOT be taught by using the Japaakana script, "Do Not Pronounglish Words Using Katakana Sounds" and "teachers should not use katakana to spell out what has been said" is what is especially remarked as it is very important that the kids learn that as soon as a teacher write something in katakana, it bees Japahe so-called "gairaigo" which are basically Japanese words inating from, or based on, fn-nguage terms and one shouldn't use them to teaglish.

  But for sure that isn't the only thing I did during this time, I ofte bay home universe to spend some time with my wives and the kids, and sometimes, they were the ohat visited me using the fun of the wedding rings I gave them to safely trao my Soulbouory.

  But in those cases, we spend most of the time in my mansion to reinforce our bonds in ways that shouldn't be seen by a younger audienbsp;

  I also tio spend time with my Digimon Partners, pying and training with them to tio build a stronger bond with them, I even introduced them to my wives and the kids when they visited me in my Soulbouory, and of course, their overwhelming ess easily won them over.

  Very often Zandeer, Nikita, Koromon, and Hiyarimon also joined us in our training sessions, but other than that, those two still didn't do anything else of major importance as they still weren't able to get in tact with the Hypnanizatioe the fact that they often move close to the digital field created by the Digimohey Realize in the Real World to make sure that those Digimon do not cause too much chaos aru.

  Talking about Digimon realizing in the Real World, the number of their attempt is somewhat rge but their actual rate of successful Realization is not as high as I initially thought, especially si the moment, the Digimon "invading" the Real World are more on the weaker side of the spectrum mostly Child and very weak Adult, so much so, that Hypnos' programs are still able to track the Digimon as they crossed between the border of the dimensions and stop them before they fully realized, and those that are able to slip by are usually taken care by Ruki and Renamon.

  But that is going to ge soon as their number grows more numerous by the day, and so is their strength, soon will arrive Digimon who will be easily able t off and everoy Hypnos' programs, even more so as the time of the start of the known plot is getting closer and closer.

  I'm brought out from my munsing by the excited voice of one of my Digimon Partners as it yells, "V-mon Head!" which makes me look as a blue blur flies toward a nearby boulder breaking it into piepad raising a cloud of dust.

  Soon after that, the same voice is heard from within the cloud of dust as it asks, "Did you see that, Jayr? I finally broke that reinforced boulder that you said is as hard as a Bronze Cloth!!"

  At the same time, my Partner Digimon walks out with a bright, tent smile on his face, fully showing the figure of V-mon the evolved form of Chibimon, a Child Level Digimon.

  V-mon is a bipedal dragon Digimon with blue skin and red eyes, it has white coloration in its belly and snout, a small horn on its wo ear-like appendages on its head, a yellow "V"-shaped mark on its forehead, and two yellow upside-down triangle marks us eyes, it has five fingers on its hands and three toes on each foot, and a each finger and toe.

  [colpse]I nod and say, "Good job, V-mon! It seems that your stant training bore its fruit!" making V-mon nod as it says, "That's right! The Grind never lies!"

  At the same time, another voiing from very close to my ear says, "There is also the fact that V-mon is the stro among us, despite the fact that we train just as hard as him..."

  The one who just talked is my imon Partner, Wormmon who evolved from Minomon, he is standing on my shoulder as he watches V-mon walking toward us with a trace of envy in his gaze.

  Wormmon looks very simir to the Tomato hornworm (Manduca quinquemacuta), it is a small green caterpilr with a pair of long antennae and ten legs with pink cws, it has a bck band resembling a Dark Ring around its abdomen and two pink spines on the end of it.

  Like a real i, Wormmon possesses the ability to adhere to surfaces and is also able to gee silk from its purple mandibles.

  [colpse]After hearing that, I gently pat Wormmon's head, which makes him close his eyes as he enjoys my f toud say, "I already told you, Wormmon. Your current state is ihe weakest among your brothers, but you are in no way a weak Digimon. It is only that at your current Level, all your hard work just increases your potential, but as soon as you evolve to the Adult Stage, you will immediately bee extremely powerful to the point that even a Perfect Level Digimon would be wary of you."

  At the same time, the voiy third Partner Digimon is heard ing from above my head as it says, "Just like Jayr said! You have to be more fident in yourself, Wormmon! You have already seen how those feral Digimon are, most of them are even weaker than us despite the fact that some of them are in the Adult Level. Furthermore, with the help of our Tamer, we will tio get even stronger. Adult, Perfect, Ultimate, and even beyond! There is no stage that we won't be able to read no oppo we won't be able to defeat as long as we work together! Believe it!"

  I look up and see Patamon fpping its wings/ears as it floats above us, at the same time, I 't help but internally ge a little while thinking, 'Maybe watg Naruto with them was a mistake... Patamon took quite a liking to him and took in some of his quirks, especially sihey have the same eye color... ahe fact that Naruto's favorite color is e... Moreover, that isn't the only anime we watched together...'

  Patamon is a small flying creature resembling a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) with light blue eyes, bat-like wings which are also its ears, and a short, stubby tail, its underside is a light cream color, while its bad head are e.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Soon, Patamoired of flying and nds on my head while enting, "2 hours! This is a new record! I once agai Plus Ultra!!"

  Looking at all three of them I 't help but smile while thinking, 'They all grew up so fast... Well, it is mostly thanks to the nutritious meal and the daily training that on, Minomon, and Tokomon were able to evolve to the Child stage in just two or three weeks after their birth... and of course, they aren't the only ones...'

  Quickly after thinking that, I hear Nikita's voice from behind me as she ents, "Oh my gosh! Patamon is so cute~ Just like my cutie Bluon~!" followed by Zandeer who adds, "I have to agree... Even if Patamon is slowly being a walking anime and manga encyclopedia..."

  At the same time, another boyish voice is heard that ents, "Please Nikita I'm not cute, I'm cool... and don't hug me so tightly I feel like I'm melting... Agumon help me..." followed by another oh a lower timber that clicks its tongue and says, "Nope... I came here to fight with V-mon and finally beat him! There is no way I'll waste my energy in a hopeless endeavor!"

  I turn my head and look at Nikita and Zander ehe pying/training area of my house with their Partner Digimon, Bluon, and Agumon, one held in a bear hug by Nikita, while the other calmly walking beside Zandeer while it looks at V-mon with eyes full of fighting spirit.

  At the same time, Patamon proudly ents, "I'm not going to be an encyclopedia... I'm going to be a proud upstanding Digimon of Culture!" which makes everyone chuckle.

  Hearing that, I almost let out a sigh while thinking, 'Well, if the life-sized posters of Angewomon, Lady Devimon, and Baal Starmon in risque poses that are affixed to the walls of his room are taken into sideration... I have to admit that Patamon is indeed a Digimon of Culture...'

  While I'm thinking that, I also take a moment to take a closer look at Bluon and Agumon.

  Bluon is a small dragon Digimon that looks like a blue lizard with red eyes, there is ice c the head, tail, cws, a, and there is also ice protruding on its back that looks like small wings.

  It has white fur c the ned chest which makes it resemble a fur colr winter coat, and bandages ed around the forearms, it also has three white hexagon symbols on its shoulders and back.

  [colpse]Meanwhile, Agumon isn't a normal Agumon, it is a short and stout Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon standing about 3 feet tall, it has ash bck skin with red stripes down its back, tail, and legs, and light green eyes.

  It also has fttened forearms with broad, three-cwed hands, and distinct pectoral muscles, its legs and arms are shown to be very vascur, while its tail is stubby, and its head and snout are almost as rge as the rest of its body, this is a Bck Agumon that tained a high tration of X-Antibody in its Digicore ahrough an X-Evolution.

  (Image Here - Agumon Bck [X-Antibody])

  Spoiler

  [colpse]The X-Antibody inated with Program X, a virus created by Yggdrasill that it used in Project Ark to cull Digimon ahe overpopution of the Old Digital World.

  However, powerful Digimon with strong survival instincts were able to survive by altering their Digicores to incorporate Program X itself.

  This created the X-Antibody, which made them resistant to beied by Program X, however, sihe X-Antibody in a Digimon's Digicore would expire if the Digimon tio be exposed tram X, this resulted in two major societal shifts, first, peting with each other to acquire more X-Antibodies, and sed, an exodus of Digimon from the Old Digital World to the New Digital World, where Program X was not present.

  The X-Antibody has the ability to, if trated within a Digicore at a normal level her, actively extract tent data from the Digicore to a high degree. When this happens, it triggers X-Evolution, where the Digimon is transformed into a form that expresses the extracted data.

  As a result of this, the Digimon bees able to express both power and its potential to a degree far superior to a on Digimon

  At first, I didn't clearly uand how it ossible that Koromon directly evolved into an X-Antibody variant, because to my uanding there are only three known main ways for a Digimon to acquire the X-Antibody:

  -When exposed to/ied with Program X which forces them to alter their Digicore to incorporate Program X into it by produg antibodies to it something that only strong Digimon are able to do.

  -Kill and absorb the Data of a Digimon who already possesses the X-Antibody.

  -Receive a serum of the persistent strain of the X-Antibody.

  I was sure that her of them was valid for Koromon, but now that I had time to think about it some more, I came up with the clusion that it is more likely that Agumon is a Digimon who naturally possesses and produces the X-Antibody within its Digicore, kinda like Dorumon or Ryudamon, and that its effects became more apparent and visible when Koromon evolved to the Child level.

  While I'm thinking about that, Agumo waste any more time and rushes toward V-mon while shooting small fireballs, something that V-mon easily dodges as it also starts to approach Agumon, and soon, the two start to fight at cle exging bites, headbutts, puail swipes, and kicks without any care of their surroundings as there is a pretty strong rivalry betweewo, but luckily her of them is actually truly malicious toward the other as they never go too far.

  Furthermore, in case an act happens there are also Patamon, Wormmon, and Bluon to stop them, and as a further safety measure, there is also either Nikita or Zandeer present and ready to make a move.

  After taking my gaze away from the fighting V-mon and Agumon, I look at my panion and say, "Well, since you are here, I'm going to take a shorepare for my first day of school..."

  Hearing that, Zandeer nods while Nikita cheers me on, "Go Jayr! Do not hesitate to put those naughty kids on their knees and make them-" but before she could say something even more incriminating, I interrupt her and pin, "For the love of my Goddess Wife! Nikita! you please be more mindful of your phrasing!!"

  But as I leave the training area I only hear Zandeer and Nikita snicker in response, so, I decide to ighem and quickly head to the bathroom where I take a slow rexing shower to wash away the sroduced by my own training and after that, I quickly dress up in the same business casual suit I wore for my interview with the principal of the Yodobashi Elementary School with the only difference being the ie, as this time, I chose to wear a greehat matches my eyes color and reminds me of Wormon skin color and that furthermore also looks very good with the grey suit I'm wearing.

  Once I'm fully dressed, I look at my image in the mirror and ent, "Well, to be ho, all kinds of different atch well with this kind of suit, even a piie would work... At least that is what Tio, Seika, and Saori told me and I trust their judgment very much as they are the ones with the best fashion sense among my wives."

  Then remembering some of my ret rendezvous with my wives, I also add with a grin, "Well, now that I think about it, Alvida and Robin also have a very pleasant fashion sense... only theirs is more in the risque category... Like when Alvida arrived in the mansion in the Soulbouory dressed up as a sexy Marine Admiral... or when Robin surprised me with her cospy as a sexy secretary... God... Robin with gsses and that dress was a deadly bo... I ended up spending the whole day enjoying her pany in all kinds of ways that left Robin in a quivering mess but also thhly satisfied." After saying that, I don't waste any more time and walk out of my bedroom, head to the training area to inform Nikita, Zandeer, and the Digimon that I'm leaving the house, and calmly walk out of the house to head toward the Yodobashi Elementary School.

  On my way there, I still catch the attention of the people oreets thanks to my imposi and presence, and also thanks to my clearly Westerures, but different from before now the people greet me without aation or fear, especially sihe FBI agent- ehm I mean the elderly people living in the neighbor learhrough who knows what methods that I'm the new English Teacher who was hired by the Yodobashi Elementary School.

  Of course, I gently greet bayone who greeted me with a smile on my face as I tio calmly walk through the streets, the reason, I'm taking it so easy is because it is 5.30 AM and I have to be at the school at 6.00 AM to prepare for the chaotic first day of school, so there is still a lot of time for me to reach the school, especially since I easily arrive there in an instant simply by running, flying, or telep whenever I want.

  However, despite that there are a few reasons why I'm still calmly walking, one minor reason is so that I simply enjoy this period of retive peace, but another more important reason, is to keep myself mrouo avoid being too x and arrogant a the same mistakes I made in the One Pieiverse were I let another Champion steal my kill and even allowed him to safely get away, 'I 't let something like that happen again, especially not when the Random Battle is getting closer and closer...'

  While thinking that, I tio walk through the streets greeting the few early birds that I meet on the way until the people oreets bee far and few and so, I start to increase the pace a little, which may now be equal to an Olympic athlete sprint as I suddenly realize, 'Maybe I should bring out the good old Magic Powered Bike, as I 't be seen walking around at the same speed of Usain Bolt's world record spring. I haven't used it sihe Arifureta Universe, and it has collected quite a bit of dust in my Soulbouory even if I tio upgrade it whenever I had a little bit of free time...'

  ing to that decision, I quickly make sure that no one is around and that no teology record what is happening, and then I don't hesitate any more and open a portal to my Soulbouory and bring out the Magic Powered Bike, and looking at it, I ent, "Just to be on the safe side... I have to ge its look a little as its current futuristic look is way too eye-catg at the moment..."

  After saying that, I sit on the bike and put my hand on the dispy between the handlebars, manipute my Spiral o, and input it into the bike while anding, "Activate Camoufge Mode."

  In an instant, the Magic Powered Bike under me releases a wave of ultrasound that ss every motorcycle in the surrounding 5 Km, and a hologram with all the possible choices avaible is projected by the front light with a number uhem, and after looking at it for a few seds, I say, "Number 9." making the Magic Powered Bike immediately transform into the chosen form just like a Transformers taking a mur shape, that of a bck Yamaha FJR1300 with a white lise pte with green borders that says 品川(Shinagawa) of 34-69.

  I then materialize a bck helmet and put it on and then, I start to drive my bike through the streets of Shinjuku while thinking, 'Once I'm home, I have to remember to ask Crateris to hato the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Land Transportation aer the bike and the lise pte... I may be a God, but I'm a w-abiding one... mostly...'

  I arrive at my destination at 5.50 AM and calmly park my bike at the parking space reserved for the school staff, and then, I head toward the main building with my helmet in hand.

  As I arrive in front of the entrance of the building, I enter a young woman with brown eyes and shoulder-length dark brown hair, wearing a cssieck yellow cardigan top buttoned, a white button-down shirt, a dark blue pencil skirt, white crew-length socks, and white and gray sneakers.

  She is my colleague Asanuma Nami the homeroom teacher of Css 5-2, the css of one of the trotagonists studying in this school.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Seeing that young teacher, I 't help but think back about what I have uood of her character in the days I ied with her, 'While she is a bit vain, as she doesn't like her teag job all too mud mostly works as a teacher because it makes her look good in the unity, that doesn't mean that she is a bad person in itself, in fact, she is still a good person who cares for her students and worries about them, and it is even ready to lend a hand if she notice that they are in trouble. Only this already makes her a whole lot better than many other teachers I knew in the past...'

  While thinking that, I nod and politely greet her, "Good m, Asanuma-sensei." making her greet me with a smile, "Pucci-sensei! Good m to you too. Are you nervous for your first day?"

  I shake my head while opening the door aing the young teacher walk in before me like a perfect gentleman as I calmly reply, "Not really... I have already taught children of many other nationalities before some of which were even Japanese. So I already have plenty of experience. But I admit this is my first time teag in a proper Japanese elementary school so a little bit of anticipation and uneasy feelings are still there."

  At the same time, I 't help but think, 'Especially sihe other times I taught something to kids was at the Sanctuary, and I was teag them how to push their body beyond the human limits, beat up and kill the bad guys... but the basic should still be the same... I just have to remember that I don't have to push these kids down a cliff and break a few of their boo build their character aand it should be fine...'

  While I was thinking that, Asanuma Nami thanked me for the gentlemanly gesture and said, "That's good. But if you have any doubts do not hesitate to ask me or the other teachers, okay? Furthermore, it isn't like you will actually have any csses today as there are only the school entrance ceremony and introductory csses today."

  I nod and thahen we tio walk and chat about some of the things I should be mindful of while teag here as we head toward the Teachers' Lounge where we prepare for future csses and theake part the school entrance ceremony.

  The ceremony is held in the school gym where the older students and parents take their seats first and give the udents a big round of appuse as they marto the room.

  In a typical ceremony, the principal of the sakes some opening remarks, encing the new crop of students to have an enjoyable and rewarding experien school in a very longwinded and sleep indug way.

  The homeroom teachers are then introduced, and one of the older students makes a weling address then a speech by an ining student on behalf of his or her css follows.

  As the speeches tihe udents, who were a bit tense when the ceremony started, begin to rex, and they start identifying themselves more closely with the school.

  The ceremony finally ends with a school song sung by the older students which makes me almost y sense of hearing.

  Afterwards, the udents are led to their s by their teacher, who expins what they expe the year to e, the textbooks are handed out, and orative photos are taken on a css-by-css basis, but none of that has something to do with me as I head back to the Teachers' Room and tio prepare for tomorrow csses at least until it is time to head bae.
