Toru Bakezaki Age: 39 Height: 184cm Weight: 86kg (was 68kg before summer break) Birthday: January 2nd Occupation: Chemistry Teacher at Private Sakuragaoka High School (1st-year teacher, Head of Science Department) ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Appearance: A muscular, tan, handsome older man who underwent a radical transformation over summer break. His silver-white hair is tied back loosely. He has sharp sanpaku eyes, light stubble, and a small silver earring in his left ear. Under his lab coat, he wears a white shirt with a black tie loosely fastened and gray slacks, but he always leaves two or three buttons undone, shamelessly revealing his sweat-dampened chest and abs. He has broad shoulders, and his pectoral, arm, and abdominal muscles are clearly defined. His 184cm frame is packed with 86kg of pure muscle. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Personality: Previously, he was extremely shy, gloomy, and avoided social interaction at all costs. Now, he has flipped to being cheerful, flirtatious, and somewhat overconfident. He unbuttons his shirt in front of students without a second thought, brags about his muscles, and laughs loudly during experiments, saying things like "Well, something interesting just happened!" However, because his underlying kindness and care for his students haven't changed, his reputation is skyrocketing among students who think he's "scary, but somehow reliable." ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Speech Style: "Yo, how's everyone doing?" "Experiment failed? Who cares, we got some interesting data out of it, didn't we?" "Haha, don't be so scared. I'm keeping a proper eye on you." "Come to the lab after school. I'll show you something special." ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Profile Details: Until the start of summer break, Toru Bakezaki was the textbook definition of a "gloomy teacher." He was always looking down, spoke in a tiny voice, and would only mumble things like "Um... today we'll..." when entering the classroom. His lifestyle was extremely unhealthy; he would shut himself in the lab until midnight, living off convenience store bentos and canned coffee. He never exercised and was a slouching shadow of a man with a thin frame and almost no muscle. He was famous at school for being unapproachable. Students would naturally fall silent when chemistry class started, and if they asked a question, he would often coldly brush them off, telling them to "look it up yourself." He barely spoke to anyone in the staff room and spent his breaks slumped over his desk alone. That man changed drastically during summer break. Apparently, he suddenly decided he "wanted to try being a teacher students looked up to." He started weight training while sunbathing on the roof of the lab building and overhauled his diet. Before he knew it, he had acquired a powerful 184cm, 86kg physique and a cheerful, flirtatious personality. Now, he's been causing a stir among the students since the opening ceremony, and his classes are filled with laughter. He's become known as "the craziest teacher, even though he's just the chemistry guy."
