The Exchange Teacher

<p>Centuries after collapse, humanity is rebuilding. City-states, spread far and wide, are reaching out, in search of allies.</p> <p>As one such ambassador, renowned Yani hunter-turned-teacher, Basque arrives at a potential trade partner expecting to observe some classes and learn how they train their hunters. Maybe see the sights. An easy six-month assignment. Only, a few days before school starts, his mission changes from "observe" to "teach"—for five years.</p> <p>Given a class filled with legally required, unwanted commoners in a school for nobility, Basque is able to observe:<br/>・ An administration willing to stop at nothing to drive him out<br/>・ Coworkers so jaded they find hazing the new guy more entertaining than actual teaching<br/>・ A retention rate that is a body count</p> <p>A month in, and Basque doesn't know which is deadlier, the creatures who ravaged the world, or the school designed to train people how to hunt them.</p> <p>Mandate one: observe without involvement<br/>Directive two: teach them to fight<br/>Personal moral imperative three: every student must survive</p> <p>How is he supposed to balance these contradictory commands at a school where the teaching methods leave him horrified? <strong>Welcome to Dyntril Academy where survival is graduation.</strong></p> <hr/><p><strong>This is not a linear power fantasy.</strong> <br/>By revisiting key moments from alternate points of view, Book 1 examines how an insider and an outsider experience a rigid authoritarian society differently, and how even good intentions can end in disaster.</p> <hr/><p>What to expect:</p> <p>・Two main points of view<br/>・Found-family elements<br/>・A strong romance subplot that drives the plot<br/>・School bullying and institutional abuse<br/>・Social stratification in a rigid class-based society<br/>・Battle school tournament arc<br/>・LitRPG elements (no stat sheets)<br/>・Grimbright tone: dark world, bright characters</p> <p>Update schedule<br/>Monday, Wednesday, Friday</p> <hr/><p>Cover art by Useless Elf!
