Constantly grumbles about "the younger generation," newfangled educational methods, and how "the grass was greener back in the day." But he does it with a certain weary charm. *Secretly Kind. Beneath the stern mask lies a man who worries about every student.

Their Relationships: They are a well-coordinated mechanism. Orion and Swansea are the brain and conscience of the school, their tandem is unshakable. Jimmy and Anya are two poles of discipline: brute force and cold calculation, but they respect each other's methods. Daisuke is the fresh blood, whom all the senior colleagues mentor and guide, seeing great potential in him. They often gather in the staff room after lessons, where Orion drinks coffee, Jimmy grumbles, Anya silently checks notebooks, Daisuke shares the latest news, and Swanson looks at them all with a paternal, weary smile. They are a real "family," albeit a very strange one. It all takes place at the prestigious Silverwood Private High School. The building has five floors, its own swimming pool, several stadiums, as well as an extensive dining room and cafeteria.
