Putting aside others, he himself couldn't convince himself.

At least, I've made it to the selection group!

This is the bare minimum requirement he set for himself!

Beneath the warm smile lay an unwavering gaze. The homeroom teacher reflected on his many years of teaching experience and realized that despite interacting with countless students, he had rarely encountered such a look.

There was no confusion, but rather that I had indeed considered it for a long time, so I was convinced that my current choice was correct and would not change it.

At that moment, he understood that nothing he said would make a difference, because people with that kind of look in their eyes would not be swayed by his persuasion.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to put the application form away.

“Okay, I understand. I will submit your form.” He said, then looked at Miyamoto Sei again: “But you must remember that you are very talented. If you have any ideas in the future, you can try to go to university again and get a university degree. It’s never too late.”

"Thank you, teacher. I understand. Thank you for reminding me."

As Miyamoto spoke, he gave his homeroom teacher a slight bow and then walked out.

Watching Miyamoto Sei leave, the homeroom teacher sighed and rubbed the corner of his eye.

"He's really a child who's hard to control with the help of teachers. I hope he won't regret this in the future."

At this moment, a teacher in another seat suddenly said, "Why don't you talk to his family? These kinds of things usually require family cooperation, right?"

"Should I talk to my family? But I've already promised him I'd submit the form, and then I'll talk to his family..."

"It's alright, there are still a few days before it's due. If his family can persuade him, he can just change the form. Getting into university would be a good thing for him."

These words made the homeroom teacher think for a moment, and then he nodded slightly.

“That’s true. These two things don’t conflict anyway. Let’s discuss it with his family. But I remember that his only elder relative is his sister…” The homeroom teacher said, and began to slowly search through the student’s file.

Then, he picked up his phone and made a call.

"Excuse me, are you a family member of Miyamoto Sei? Oh, sorry to bother you, I'm his homeroom teacher. I'd like to discuss some things with you as his family member."

Rina Miyamoto was completely bewildered; she never expected that her younger brother's teacher would one day call her.

From childhood to adulthood, my younger brother has been the most worry-free person. Apart from being a bit of a homebody, there's nothing I need to worry about, and the issue of teachers calling our parents in is completely nonexistent.

It's worth noting that for a long time, Miyamoto Sei was more like an older brother, taking care of him when he was younger.

Later, as they grew older, they gradually switched positions.

But this time, her teacher actually came to see her, and most importantly, what the teacher said was hard for her to accept.

"What?! He's planning to go straight to work and not go to university?!"

The news was like a bolt from the blue. For Rina Miyamoto, who had only recently returned to school, it was so shocking that she almost dropped her phone.

On the phone, Miyamoto Sei's homeroom teacher gave a brief account of the conversation that had just taken place, and then said, "I've already tried to persuade him, but he has clearly made his own decision and it's not so easy to change it. I was somewhat convinced by him, but I still feel that this matter needs to be discussed with his family."

"His talent is exceptional; he's the most talented person I've ever seen. Although he doesn't usually rank first, I can tell he's deliberately controlling his ranking. This kind of person has an extremely clear understanding of his own abilities."

“It would be a huge waste for him not to go to university, not to mention that with his level he could get a full tuition waiver and a scholarship. If possible, I hope you, as a family member, can persuade him. I will hold onto his application for now and try to delay it as much as possible.”

After listening to her teacher's words, Miyamoto Rina remained silent for a moment before taking a deep breath. She tried her best to calm herself down, though she wasn't very successful.

"Thank you, teacher. I will discuss it with him. As for the application form, I'll leave it to you for now."

"Don't worry, I don't want him to lose this opportunity like this either. Although he can go to university in the future, the wasted years can never be made up for."

After hanging up the phone, Rina Miyamoto looked at her phone. She dialed Miyamoto Sei's number, but after hesitating for a moment, she neither made a call nor sent a message.

"What's wrong? Rina."

Her friend asked curiously.

"You look so pale, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's nothing, I just ran into a few things." Miyamoto Rina smiled, forcing a smile. "Don't worry about me, it's just a small matter."

"Okay, but remember to tell me if you feel unwell. After all, you've been in the hospital for a long time, so you need to take care of yourself."

With a smile and a nod, Rina Miyamoto put her phone away.

Forget it, I'll not call him for now. I'll just go to his place after school this afternoon. It's better to talk about these things face to face.

Although that's what she thought, Miyamoto Rina's mind was in turmoil at the moment, and she couldn't concentrate at all. Her mind was full of thoughts about her younger brother.

Time passed slowly, and what usually passed quickly seemed unusually long today. Just when Miyamoto Rina felt like dozens of hours had gone by, school finally ended.

"get out of class is over."

"stand up!"

"goodbye teacher!"

The instant she finished speaking, she stuffed the books into her bag and ran towards the classroom door, drawing the attention of many people in the classroom.

"Wow, what's wrong with her?"

"I don't know. Are you rushing to a date? Or did you discover your boyfriend is cheating on you, so you're going to catch him in the act?"

"What are you thinking about? Maybe you're going to get a job, after all, she used to be very good at working."

The students in the classroom were buzzing with discussion, but clearly, no one could guess what was going on.

Sitting on the tram, silently waiting to reach her destination, Rina Miyamoto took out her phone and sent a message to Yukiko Miyamoto.

[Sorry, I have some things to take care of tonight. Please have dinner first.]

Then, she sent another message to Miyamoto Sei.

I'm going to your place now.

A short while later, she received a reply from Yukiko Miyamoto.

[Okay, don't worry, sister, I'll eat well!]

[But sister, please be careful out there!]

After waiting for a while longer, Miyamoto Sei did not reply, as if he had not seen the message at all.

Rina Miyamoto thought for a moment, then opened Line and sent another message to Sei Miyamoto.

The message remains unread and has not received any reply.

This made her a little puzzled. What exactly was Miyamoto Se doing right now? Was she too busy to even look at her phone?

But it's only been a short time since get out of class ended, right? Are you really that busy?

Or was the phone on silent, so it wasn't noticed?

That's true, he's probably busy with work right now, so it's possible he hasn't even noticed his phone...

But what exactly does he do for a living? And according to his teacher, when he took leave recently, it was to go to a movie set. The director was able to help him get leave, which is not an easy thing. How did he get such a job opportunity?

For a moment, Miyamoto Rina's mind was filled with questions.

She pondered this, glancing at her phone every now and then, but the unread status on Line remained unchanged.

This situation made her increasingly uneasy.

Even if you're very busy with work, surely you don't completely ignore your phone?

Finally, after about forty minutes, she arrived at her destination. Looking at the somewhat old-fashioned building in front of her, she realized that this was the place Miyamoto had told her about renting a room last time.

Once upstairs, I gently knocked on the door, but there was no response. This was to be expected, since Miyamoto was probably still at work at that time.

Rina Miyamoto hesitated, looking at her phone, wondering if she should make a call.

However, I didn't make the call in the end, because it wouldn't be a good thing if it disturbed someone's work.

"Never mind, I might as well wait here for now," she thought to herself.

"Oh, young lady, who are you looking for?"

There was a low voice. Miyamoto Rina looked over and saw an elderly woman in her sixties or seventies wearing glasses, walking over like that.

"I'm here to find my family..."

"Oh, I know, it's Miyamoto Sei-sen, right? You really look alike, so alike! Are you his older sister?" The old man looked Miyamoto Rina up and down and exclaimed in admiration, "Are you twins?"

"Yes, we are twins, he is my younger brother."

“He usually comes back very late. In the last few days, I haven’t seen him come back earlier than ten o’clock.” The old man said, taking out his key: “I’ll use the spare key to open the door for you. You can wait for him at home. It’s not a good idea to keep standing outside.”

"Thank you. But is this alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright, what's the relationship between you two siblings?" the old man said, opening the door. "Alright, you can go in now, I won't go in, it's not a good place for me."

After saying goodbye to the old man, Rina Miyamoto went into the room. After closing the door, she looked around the room and then froze.

The bed, refrigerator, wardrobe, and the like didn't matter, but the things on the table caught her attention.

It was a sign, which was nothing special in itself, but the words on the sign were so unusual.

[Happy Birthday, Nana Miyamoto! From all the fans!]

This is a birthday gift for Nana Miyamoto, and it's clearly a gift from a fan to their idol. Why is it here?!

Rina Miyamoto froze at that moment. Her previous doubts began to resurface, and one idea after another popped into her mind.
