Chapter 1

My wife and her lover lured me into a school overrun with zombies, planning to use me as food for them.

Just as the zombies were about to tear me to pieces, I awakened the "Eternal Homeroom Teacher" System!

As long as I played the role of a strict homeroom teacher and scolded the zombies, it would trigger the fear they once felt toward their elementary school teachers.

They would obediently turn into well-behaved "students," following every command I gave.

When I finally returned with the entire school full of zombies and confronted my wife and her lover, they were completely stunned.

The blood moon descended, and the zombie outbreak erupted without warning.

Risking being devoured by zombies, I ventured out to search for my wife, Emma Snow.

But she and her lover, Felix Stone, lured me with a single text message to the very heart of the zombie outbreak---the school.

Now I'm trapped in an abandoned classroom, cornered by an entire class of zombies.

They were all students here when they were alive.

Now only tattered school uniforms hang from their rotting bodies.

Their cloudy eyes fix on me, teeth bared, guttural groans rasping from deep in their throats.

My back is pressed against the blackboard.

My only weapon is half a broken mop handle.

Watching the zombie horde closing in, despair soaks through me like ice water.

"Emma Snow! Felix Stone! If I get out of here alive, I swear I'll tear you both to pieces!"

Bitter hatred floods my heart, but the mass of zombies pressing closer fills me with despair.

Am I really going to die here like this, humiliated, devoured by zombies?

【Ding! Detecting host in desperate situation.】

【Eternal Homeroom Teacher System successfully activated!】

【This system aims to reform lost lambs through strictness and purify the world's filth with discipline.】

【Please remember your teacher's ethics and restore classroom order!】

What the hell?

My mind is in chaos.

It's the apocalypse, and I get an education system?

What use is that!

Just then, a female zombie in a school uniform lunges at me, her reeking mouth wide open, about to bite my throat!

In this critical moment, inspiration strikes.

I think of the system.

With nothing to lose, I sternly scold the female zombie:

"Which class are you from?"

"Didn't you hear the class bell ring?"

"How dare you act so unruly!"

"Get back to your seat right now!"

Time seems to freeze in that moment.

The female zombie's movements suddenly stop.

Her gaping mouth slowly closes.

In her cloudy eyes, a flash of something human appears---panic and confusion carved deep into her soul.

Then... she actually lowers her head, drags her feet, and slowly shuffles back to an empty seat.

She sits down obediently, even unconsciously placing her hands on the desk.

【Ding! Successfully intimidated lost student x1.】

【Teacher authority +1!】

【Rewarding beginner's gift: Authority Pointer and Chalk of Discipline!】

The next second, a sleek black pointer materializes in my hand, heavy and solid.

A full box of chalk appears on the podium.

I'm shocked.

This actually works?

I take a deep breath, suppress my churning emotions, straighten my back, and slam the pointer hard on the podium!

"Bang!"

The sharp sound echoes through the dead-silent classroom.

All the zombies tremble in unison, fear appearing on their faces in an almost human way.

I scan the room like a real teacher examining undisciplined students:

"Don't you know it's class time!"

"Our class is the loudest in the entire building."

"Can you be quiet!"

"Well? Why'd you stop talking!"

"I'm holding a meeting up here while you hold little meetings down there, is that it?"

"Where's the class monitor?"

"Stand up!"

"And you few peeking in from the doorway---which class are you from?"

"Wandering the hallways during class."

"What does that look like!"

"All of you get in here and stand while you listen!"

"Look at me!"

"Why are you looking at them?"

"Listen to me!"

These words strike directly at their souls!
