Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 72 Methods and Objectives for Improving Concentration

After the home economics class, there was one last class, but because the exam was tomorrow, it was changed to a group psychology class.

All teachers and students listened to the broadcast in their classrooms.

"Hello everyone, this is Youai from the broadcasting department~"
"It's my first time broadcasting to the whole school during class time, I'm a little excited, I can't help but squeeze my legs together~"

The boys looked at each other, all with a lewd expression that could land them in a death sentence.

"I understand," came the voice of Ms. Kuze Oto over the loudspeaker.

Over the loudspeaker, people couldn't help but wonder if the 'thing' that emitted such a cold and emotionless voice could actually breathe.
"Next, Ms. Kushion will conduct a psychological counseling session for us."

"Finally, we'll set aside ten minutes to answer your questions. You can use your phones to send your questions to the broadcasting department or the medical room!"
"Kuse-sensei, please~"

"I am Kuzeine," Kuzeine said. "Today I'd like to talk to you about focus."

"First of all, a person can only do one important thing at a time, so give up the delusion of multitasking."

Aoyama's ideal system.

That terrifying level of focus is the system's greatest characteristic.

A person who can achieve this level of focus can reach an extraordinary level of excellence even without a systematic approach.

Kuze Oto continued:

"Some people might say they can listen to music while making coffee, but that's you."

"For true musicians or professional baristas, they can't do it; they either listen or make coffee, they have to give up one of them."

"Can you do well in two subjects at the same time? When you are studying math, don't put other books on your desk."

Some students began to inspect their desks.

Aoyama Riya decided that from now on, he would only leave one subject's textbook on his desk at a time.

All the teachers and students listened attentively.

"As the exam approaches, everyone can improve their concentration through both 'positive' and 'negative' methods."

"A positive approach is to tell yourself that if you focus on your studies, your grades will improve, and to think more about the joy of success."

"It's important to start with challenges that you can handle yourself."
“A negative approach is to scare yourself.”

"When you have poor grades, a drop in ranking, fail the exam, have to retake it, or feel like your life is completely hopeless, the more you are filled with negative emotions such as danger, blame, and pain, the more obvious the effect of negative focus will be."

"Tonight, many people will probably study harder than usual and stay up later because they are afraid of not doing well on the exam."

Laughter filled the classrooms.

Is Aoyama's idea of ​​having Kuse-on address the entire school a prelude to her becoming the principal?
It is reasonable for someone who always mentors all the teachers and students to become the principal, and the teachers and students also believe that he will be a principal who understands them.

Kuseon is a relative of Miyako Yaeko.

Kaiming High School is entirely the territory of the Gong family.

The Sunny Day Band Club is a club that only buys costumes but never performs. There's no pressure to abolish such a club.

Even for the baseball club, without making any mistakes, all it takes is to stop recruiting baseball players and dismiss the baseball coach to easily disband the club.

If there are incidents of bullying or declining performance in the baseball team, then it's even simpler.

Hey, wait a minute
Did I drift off during the lecture on "How to Improve Concentration"?

It's like spending 80 yuan to buy an autographed book from the speaker at a money-saving lecture.

Before we knew it, we had reached the end.

“Furthermore, I want to emphasize that,” Kuze-on’s tone remained calm, “that my personal improvement in focus is not to become erudite or remarkable.”

"I just want to finish work as soon as possible, have more free time, and then enjoy life."

"Students, how long has it been since you looked up at the moon?"
"Never get used to this world. When you're tired of studying, look up at the moon in the sky."

"Thank you."

"Thank you too, Ms. Kuseon," said Yua from the broadcasting club. "Next is Q&A time, and everyone sent in so many questions!"
"First question: Mr. Kuze, you just said that we shouldn't rely too much on 'using rewards to stimulate ourselves to be more focused' because it can be addictive. I think I'm already a little addicted. What should I do?"

Kuze-on replied, "At this time, you can use a 'negative' way to stimulate yourself, imagining what terrible consequences would result from addiction."

"At the same time, stop using rewarding yourself as a way to boost your focus."

"The important thing is to start with what you can manage." The boys whispered again, their words as filthy as rats in a sewer, while a few girls laughed.

As the last class ended, everyone felt they had gained a lot.

After school, Aoyama Rika immediately went to the Sunny Day Band Club, while Ono Mika and the others arrived even earlier.

"Before we see the message from our classmate, let's pack up our instruments first," said Aoyama Risa.

He also helped drummer Mengshi pack up the drum set.

"Thank you," the drummer, Yume, murmured casually.

Aoyama Risa didn't hear clearly and chose to remain silent to avoid presuming on his own feelings.

Just as I was almost finished packing, I saw a message from Shang Ai saying that the car had arrived.

"Can it succeed?" Bess Sakura seemed to be talking to herself.

“We’ve been preparing in the clubroom for three years, there’s no reason for us to lose!” Akika Agasa said.

“Let’s all form a circle!” the drummer Mengshi suddenly said.

"it is good!"

The girls put their hands on each other's shoulders, forming a circle with a gap in it.

"Mika, you're one of us too!" Akika called out.

Mika Ono hesitated, but finally went over.

“Manager, chores, you come too,” Bess Sakura suddenly said.

"I'll pass," Aoyama Ryo refused.

Bass Sakurako muttered to herself in a dejected tone, "It seems like this time it won't be a success. This is my first and last performance in my three years of high school. What is life, anyway?"

"I understand, I understand!" Aoyama Risa admitted defeat.

When he put his hands on the shoulders of Ono Mika and Bess Sakurako, his hands were clenched into fists to minimize the contact area.

He had to squat down to accommodate their height.

"Minister!" Drummer Yumemi looked at Akika Gasai.

Everyone else was looking at her too.

Akika Gasai took a deep breath and shouted, "Is this our first performance?"

"Yes!"

Is this our last performance?

"No!" (Aoyama almost said yes, but luckily his voice wasn't loud to begin with.)
"Even on a cloudy day, there's sunshine above the clouds. Let's show the spirit of a sunny day!"

"Yes!"

"After two years of preparation, we are determined not to lose! Let's go!"

"Yes!"

[Sunny Day Band: 24%, 25%, 26%, 30%]

[Koshien: 14%]

[Kendo Jade Dragon Flag: 32%]

The system recognized their momentum, thinking they were going to participate in some national competition, and that it was also the last year for Akika and Sakura.

Buzz~, the phone vibrates.

Everyone held their breath and stared at Aoyama Ryo.

Aoyama Risa took out her phone. Five girls were there, some holding each other's hands tightly, some gripping their instruments, and some pursing their lips.

Aoyama glanced at his phone, looked up and said, "It's a McDonald's ad."

"."

"Just kidding." He laughed. "Let's go to McDonald's after the show."
