You expect the visual novel to take you straight into the club meeting. Instead, you are taken to the classroom you attend during the school day. Students, presumably your classmates, were sitting at their desks. They all faced towards the front of the classroom where a board was attached to a wall. This was different from what was normally the third day in the game, and it slightly disappoints you. You wanted to immediately go to the club to see what changes Yuka would bring in terms of relationships between the characters, not attend your boring school day. What would attending class in a visual novel even offer anyways?Suddenly, you take sight of something even more unexpected than Yuka: a teacher! Now this game was giving you a character in the form of a young adult? Why wasn’t she revealed at the first day of your playthrough? You set aside the questions and gazed upon the features the woman had. …Damn, you had to admit the teacher was pretty attractive, not to mention her body. Then again, what else is predicted from a visual novel? Dan wasn’t giving you the option to date her, was he? She had long, luscious blonde hair and an older look to her face as opposed to the “moe” features that all the other characters had. Her clothing was different from all the other characters so far, which was expected since she was a teacher. She wore a black vest over a white dress shirt, as well as a purple tie and a skirt any woman in the business field would wear. To top it off, she had glasses and held a stick used for teaching.When the pink text box appeared, her name was already out on the top left corner. The game had assumed that your character already met her on the first day of school. She was called Miss Watanabe. She seemed to be unmarried due to how the game addresses her. You wonder what interesting situations would arise from a teacher in the visual novel.“Good morning, class.” She said.With the rest of the class, you greeted her back. “Good morning, Miss Watanabe.” For a moment, you were weirded out by the fact that there were even background characters in this game. Initially, this game was supposed to portray a feel of isolation since there were only five characters in the story: you and the four other club members. Now there’s other people that were not even important to the story. It gave you the feeling something opposite of isolation… something more wholesome, if that’s the correct term to use. You snap back to focus onto the class again as Miss Watanabe gives you a very pleasant surprise.“Alright class, happy birthday!” Your teacher said while doing soft claps. There was a smirk on her face. Why she said “happy birthday” confused you at the moment, as well as other students, but you could tell that she was not being serious. This teacher seemed to be one of nonchalance and sarcasm.“I hope you all studied yesterday because the first thing you’ll be receiving on your special day is your gift: an English test on what I taught!” A test!? With the mechanics of the game thus far, you have not remembered a hint of anything being taught in the last two days. You hoped that this was just dialogue that won’t be an integral part of the story. Despite your wishes, a paper like the poems in the literature club had appeared on the screen. Instead of poems, it was a set of ten multiple-choice questions rowed in groups of five on the left and right side. In the typed questions were bolded, complicated words. There was a timer on the top right corner counting down from five minutes. This test appeared to be a vocabulary test and a highly difficult one at that. You were mesmerized and slightly angered by how the game surprised you with a test you didn’t studied for and the words used for the questions in the exam. You tried to complete the test.“Remember peasants, no cheating~.” Miss Watanabe said. “But if you have the urge to do so, please do. It’ll make my day.”You groaned a little at what your teacher said. You would probably like her outside of her teaching career. Here? She was someone you would call obnoxious.“Psst, Riko.” Sayori was also in your class. She was whispering to you to try to catch your attention after a minute had passed.“What!?” You whispered back. “Can’t you see we’re taking a test? What you’re doing will put us in trouble!” You didn’t know what the teacher would do if you cheated, but it was probably best not to find out.“Not if we hide it!” She said. She slides in a little sticky note that the letters A, B, C, and D all in a random order. “Here, the answers to the test!”“Wait… Why are you giving this to me? This is cheating!” You whispered back.“Jeez… I just wanted to be nice, even if it’s a little bad!” She admitted.You sighed. “…alright, fine.”Surprisingly, Miss Watanabe did not catch you and Sayori having an exchange over cheating on the test. You begin to think of the precautions of copying off Sayori. Certainly, she was not the best person to copy a test from. In fact, she was probably one of the worse. But what difference would it make if you guessed on a test that you were going to fail anyways? And seeing how the some of the littlest things could contribute to a story in Doki Doki Literature Club, you decide to copy off Sayori with some regret.“Time is up!” Miss Watanabe said with pleasure. You copied every answer Sayori gave you just in time. You crumple up the sticker note and stuffed it inside your pocket before the teacher could notice.She now had all the tests in her arms. “Alright, let’s see which one of you are failures.” She was checking the exams now with a very eager attitude. You could tell she likes to tease her pupils.“…Eh?” She raised a brow for a moment and then chuckled. She noticed something strange and you knew what it probably was. You look at Sayori to see her trying to hide that she was panicking over the teacher finding out about the situation.“Ah! Finished!” Miss Watanabe passes back the tests to the class, excluding you and Sayori. “As always class, I want you to show your parents how much of a winner or a disappointment you are by showing them the results you received on your tests.” She looks directly at you. “Before we go on, however, some of you special snowflakes, two of you to be exact, have noticed that your tests weren’t given back.” She gave you a smug look. “If you are one of the two, do kindly raise your hand so everyone in the class can see.”Sayori looked back at you, smiling nervously. There was no way out of this situation. With no options to help you, you slowly raised your hand halfway. You itched and sweat, showing embarrassment. Because you took the brave stand to raise your hand, she did so as well.“Ah… the perpetrators have reared their ugly heads.” Miss Watanabe said. You groaned at that statement.“Hey! Riko and I are not ugly!” Sayori said.“Oh, I know!” Your teacher said, smiling. “Now, out of all the coincidences in the entire universe, it just so happens that you and Riko have the same, exact answers on the test! Care to explain how that happened, Sayori?” She asked.Sayori answered. “Well, you see, we’re really good friends! That’s why we have the same answers.” You wanted to facepalm on her explanation.“Good friends? Oh yes, I’m sure you two are the most best of friends.” The teacher replied. “Perhaps good enough to share a form of telepathic communication with each other?” She said sarcastically.“Umm… yep!” Sayori said.“Ah… using telepathic communication to cheat on a test. Now that’s adorable.” The teacher giggled lightly. “Makes the perfect couple, right class?”You and your friend were even more embarrassed! This teacher is truly a roast queen. You could not help but look at her and Sayori with frustration. She dropped the test on your desk. A zero.“A bit of advice, boy.” She sighed with a smile. “If you’re going to copy off of someone, copy off of someone that’s going to get you a one hundred.” She placed her hands on her sides. “And most importantly, don’t cheat!” She lightly smacks her teaching stick on your head and then Sayori’s head.“Capiche?” Your teacher finally asked.“Capiche!” Sayori said.“Capiche…” You said.“Alright then, on ward with the lesson for the day! And pay attention, Riko and Sayori, perhaps you can get a better score next time by doing so.” Your teacher said.“Yes, Miss Watanabe!” Sayori salutes. The teacher smiles. You couldn’t help but to smile a little yourself. At least she was happy for now.“Good.” Your teacher replied.The day goes on with your teacher supposedly showing you your new set of wordy vocabulary terms. The game takes you to the moment when class is over.“Okay, students! Remember to write your vocabulary sentences, and I better not see any copies between the lovely couple in the back~!” Miss Watanabe said, wrapping it up for today. She was really pushing for it, wasn’t she?The bell rings. “Ah, ciao.” She finally said. The class pack up their stuff and begin to move to the next class in their day. Sayori approaches you steadily, worried that she might’ve angered you.“Ehehehe…” she scratched the back of her head. “Sorry about that…”“…Eh, it’s whatever.” You sighed. “I was going to fail that test either way, I didn’t study.” You groaned. “But what Miss Watanabe said was not necessary!”“I don’t know, Riko! Maybe that’s her way of being funny. She made the class laugh.” She responded.“Didn’t mean we have to be the butt-end of the joke…” You said.“We probably deserve it… but at least we took it together!” Sayori said with a reassuring attitude.“Psh, I guess.” You said.You and Sayori leave class with your teacher reminding you not to cheat ever again. You begin to reflect on your experience with the new character and how she could change the dynamics of the game, however, thoughts about her would be set aside as soon as the game takes you to the time with the literature club. Finally, after an embarrassing moment in class, you can relax in the club and see all the incoming changes.
