I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 53: There Is a Gap Between Teachers

Chapter 53: There Is a Gap Between Teachers

"That's it, today I took a combat test in the class during class in the morning." Makoto told Tanaka about what happened in class.

However, Makoto slightly beautified the students' complaints, otherwise they would be too offensive.

"I just wanted to inspire them and make them practice more seriously. I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'm really sorry." Makoto said with an apology.

"It's my fault that my evaluation was too harsh. I should be more tolerant to them." Makoto put all the blame on his self.

Although it was Tanaka's own poor teaching skills that caused so much dissatisfaction among students, Makoto only ignited it.

But Makoto didn't want any flaws in his character, so he chose to tell everything directly to Tanaka, admitting his mistake to Tanaka, saying that he accidentally did bad things with good intentions.

In this way, no matter what happens, Makoto will not be identified as someone with ulterior motives.

After all, he told Tanaka everything as soon as it happened. How could he have any evil intentions when he cares so much about his colleagues.

"This..." Tanaka didn't know what to say for a while.

He knew in his heart that those students were right. His teaching level was indeed not as good as that of Makoto, which was average.

But no one in the ninja school can compare with Makoto. A new teacher became famous throughout the school after teaching for a month or two. He was recognized by all the teachers and students in the school, and was even summoned by the Third Hokage to praise him.

An ordinary teacher like him would feel uncomfortable competing with Makoto.

"I have asked them not to criticize you, but after all, they are a bunch of children. Although they agreed on the surface, it is hard to say what will happen in reality." Makoto sighed, looking at Tanaka with an apology in his eyes.

"It's okay, I won't care. After all, they are just six-year-old kids." Tanaka said with a smile.

Even if Tanaka is complained to his face by the students, he will not give up his position as a Taijutsu teacher for the first class.

Because the actual performance of Class One is very good, not only are the top two in the entire grade from this class, but also the average average score of the class is the highest.

Although he knows that such results have nothing to do with his teaching, these are real results. There is no need to worry about performance at all, and the bonus will only be more.

"Teacher Hosakawa, I know you. You must be thinking about your students." Tanaka said that he knew Makoto's good intentions.

Although such an accident happened, Tanaka still felt that Makoto was a good colleague who would apologize as soon as possible when something happened.

Once it was originally Tanaka's Taijutsu class in the morning, but he had something to do in the morning, so he changed with Makoto who had an afternoon class. Makoto immediately agreed.

He had also heard about Makoto taking over classes for other teachers. It could be done once or twice. But, ever very week, teachers would look for him. Who could bear it with the exception of Makoto.

His teaching level is high, his class scores lead the entire grade, he is praised by the Third Hokage, and he is handsome and good-tempered. Tanaka can only say that it is not unreasonable for the female teachers in his office to discuss Makoto every day.

He knows his own family affairs well, and Tanaka knows that the root cause of this matter is that his teaching is really average, and he has been like this for so many years.

But it is impossible for Tanaka to voluntarily give up his position as a Taijutsu teacher. Teaching in the ninja school is just to make money without danger. This is an opportunity to get a large bonus while lying down.

"Tanaka-sensei, I feel relieved when you think of me like this." Makoto seemed to feel much more relaxed, showing a gentle smile.

"Haha, let's go to an izakaya for a drink together when we have time." Tanaka also said with a smile.

Makoto smiled and nodded, and after chatting with Tanaka on some useless topics, he found an excuse and left.

After Tanaka returned to the office, the female teacher next to him asked curiously:

"Mr. Tanaka, what does Mr. Hosakawa want from you?"

"It's nothing, just some minor things regarding students, but Mr. Hosakawa really has nothing to say." Nianhiro Tanaka sat down and said.

He was naturally embarrassed to tell the truth about his poor teaching skills and that students keep criticise him, but it was a good idea to use Makoto to find a topic with the female teacher.

After the school bell rang, Tanaka walked towards Class 1.

Entering the classroom, Tanaka couldn't help but feel like he'd stepped into a lion's den. Everything seemed eerily normal. He began, as usual, with a lecture on ninja theory. Then he took them down for a run.

After finishing the run, Tanaka began to teach taijutsu routines. After teaching them once, he began to let the students practice freely.

"Mr. Tanaka, could you, like, demonstrate it a few hundred more times? I didn't quite understand it just now." Anko pleaded with exaggerated innocence.

"These are the most basic. If you don't understand that means you haven't practiced enough. Just practice more." Tanaka said.

"But Teacher Makoto demonstrates many times every time he teaches us something new, and he breaks it down very carefully." Anko retorted.

"How can ninjutsu and taijutsu be the same?" Nianhiro Tanaka explained.

"But taijutsu also has, like, ninja secret moves and stuff. Shouldn't we, you know, unveil the mysteries of the ninja universe?" Kotetsu chimed in with a hint of conspiracy.

Tanaka was speechless.

Then a large number of students asked various questions and made various suggestions.

"Stop, stop, you train first, and we will talk later." Being asked questions by dozens of people at the same time, Tanaka felt like his head was about to explode.

"Tanaka-sensei, how about this proposal: we take a step back, you stop teaching us, and we'll all go grab ramen?" Kamizuki Izumo proposed, causing the classroom to erupt in laughter.

Tanaka blinked, wondering if he'd accidentally stumbled into a ninja stand-up comedy club.

But the more aggressive ones are yet to come.

"Tanaka-sensei, I think you should retire early. I learned your shuriken throwing and never hit the bullseye once."

"Tanaka-sensei, since we took your taijutsu class, the entire grade has only praised our class for our ninjutsu skills."

Tanaka was a little stunned when he heard the students' offensive language. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation after teaching for more than three years.

He'd thought his previous classes didn't exactly adore him, but this was a mutiny on a whole new level.

Tanaka was lucky to be warned by Makoto in advance, otherwise, he might have genuinely believed he'd entered an alternate ninja dimension.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet. I'll demonstrate a few more times." Tanaka coughed twice and said helplessly.

As Tanaka valiantly continued his lackluster demonstrations, he couldn't help but notice something peculiar. Despite their complaints and mockery, the students were training with more enthusiasm than ever.

He scratched his head. If they disliked him so much, why were they working so hard?

Tanaka felt that Makoto's words had an effect, causing students to not slack off in their training even though they were dissatisfied with him.

Tanaka was a little lucky and envious of Makoto's control over the class.

"Let's get through this year first." Tanaka didn't want to give up his position as a taijutsu teacher in the first class.

If this was an ordinary class and students spoke to him like this, he let these students know what the strength of a chunin is.

But this class is the best among the first grade.

The more Tanaka Tanigawa taught, the more the students discovered that this teacher was really not good, and they strengthened their determination to change teachers.
