Wer könnte das sagen? Ein Sklave? Oder ist „master“ hier als ehrender Titel für einen Lehrer zu verstehen?

Most likely, two slaves are speaking. To show that kind of respect (which I would consider exaggerated, perhaps sarcastic) to a teacher, I would say "the master" rather than "our master".

Danke für die Antwort, Alan! Ich trenne den deutschen Satz dann ab, ja?

I guess it comes down to your decision regarding whether "unser Chef" can represent "our master". If not, I suppose it could be linked to a sentence replacing "our master" by "our boss" or whatever you think would be the best translation.
