My youth romance is always confusing

Because the final test was coming up soon, the atmosphere in the class became a little weird.

Especially when those who don’t study much on weekdays pretend to study hard, this sense of disharmony reaches its peak.

During lunch break, listening to the students in the learning group discussing the knowledge points in the textbook, I felt like I had come to another world.

What is this, 'How do I substitute this formula and what will X equal after solving it?'? Such words actually came out of the Ministry of Revenue's mouth?

This was no less incredible than hearing the engagement news from Hiratsuka-sensei and hearing someone else confess their love to me, and they were called the three most incredible things in Sobu High School.

If the three incredible events happened, there must be reasons behind them.

Like... the world is going to end.

Of course, this is just a joke.

I casually glanced at the live-action groups and found that the atmosphere between the boys' group and the girls' group was subtly inconsistent.

The boys' group was led by Ye Shan as usual, with the other three following suit, but Hu Bu was even more noisy than usual.

As for the girls group...

"Ahhh! I still have several subjects to review today!"

Yuigahama covered her hair and kept rolling her face back and forth on the table like a rolling pin.

"Yui, don't worry, we said we would help you."

It was hard to imagine that the gentle voice came from the mouth of that fujoshi wearing glasses.

Ebina was counseling her best friend with a smile on her face.

"And Yumiko will help, too, right?"

"what?"

Miura was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if he was immersed in his own world and didn't react.

"Oh, I will definitely help Yui. After all, I don't want someone to have to go back to school for tutoring during the summer vacation."

"Ooooh! Don't say such horrible things!"

Really, the live-action group is just noisy.

----

"Hikiko, come here."

In the afternoon, the math teacher did not choose to rest, but called me to his office.

Well...it’s also the office of all the teachers for the entire second grade.

In other words, a certain violent female teacher was also there.

Fortunately, Xiao Meiyue seemed to have gone to the club room and was not here.

If that kid saw me being scolded, my reputation would be ruined.

"Hikiko, are you planning to give up on math just like that?"

The math teacher is an elderly man, and you can tell at first glance that he is about to retire.

However, although he is old, he is in good spirits and does not look at all like he has lost energy due to age.

Every time he scolds people in class, he looks even younger than the young people.

Of course, doing so is definitely responsible for the students, but if I am the one who gets scolded every time, then forget it.

"Um...Teacher, you should know that my aspiration is to study liberal arts in a private school."

In Japan, some private liberal arts universities do not require math scores when admitting students.

"I know this..."

The old man naturally understood the student's ambitions, otherwise he would not have allowed him to study other subjects in his class.

But even so, as a mathematics teacher, he still has something to say.

He picked up the teacup on the table and pondered for a moment.

"Mathematics is a basic subject. Even if you avoid it in high school, it will reappear in many places in the future. If you make such a decision now, you will cut off your own retreat."

The old man tried to continue persuading him, as he felt that his student's way of thinking was somewhat too utilitarian.

Of course, this is not to say that utilitarianism is bad, but if you use this kind of thinking to plan your future at this age, it will inevitably lay a lot of hidden dangers.

I am also very clear about what the math teacher is saying.

I also know that mathematics is something that will be difficult to avoid in our daily lives.

Whether in life or study, there will always be a time when you need it.

But...why do we have to face the challenge, especially when there are ways to avoid it.

I gazed into the old man's eyes.

The traces of time accumulation were clearly visible in his eyes.

It is no longer as beautiful as it was in youth, but is mixed with a little bit of the turbidity of time.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the old man can see clearly the future chosen by young students.

Even though I expressed my choice to give up again, he still chose to persuade me.

This is truly a...responsible teacher.

"Ah, Hikiko, come here for a moment."

Just when the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Mr. Hiratsuka, who was watching the show nearby, finally spoke up and rescued me from the math teacher.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at her and waved his hand.

I felt as if I had been pardoned and quickly left my workstation.

There is no way. Even though I know that the math teacher is doing this for my own good, the suppression due to class status cannot be eliminated.

Hiratsuka-sensei is easier to get along with.

Hmm... does this mean that Hiratsuka-sensei still has a pretty young mentality?

"call."

Mr. Hiratsuka was sitting at his workstation with his legs crossed, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.

So if you continue to try to be cool like this, you will never be able to get married in this life.

"Hiratsuka-sensei..."

"Don't look at me. If your Chinese language grades drop, you'll be in big trouble."

"....No, I wanted to ask if you have finished your work."

Hearing this, Mr. Hiratsuka's face froze, and the cigarette in his hand trembled for a moment.

Well, it looks like it’s not finished yet.

I covered my eyes and sat opposite her silently.

The overly unrestrained posture of crossing her legs made me wonder where to look, but fortunately she was wearing a pair of black trousers that covered her entire lower body.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but have a question.

If Ms. Hiratsuka was wearing a skirt, would she still cross her legs?

But unfortunately, this image was stuck the moment it appeared in my mind.

Because I can't imagine Hiratsuka-sensei wearing a skirt.

I don't think the first time Hiratsuka-sensei wore a skirt was on a wedding stage (laughs).

"You seem to be thinking about something crazy."

"That's not the case. I'm just thinking about the final exam later."

"Ah."

In fact, as a difficult hurdle facing students, the final exam is also a test for teachers.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they seem to be leisurely all day long, like tax thieves.

But in fact, the school still has certain requirements for the teaching grades of teachers, especially in a high school like Sobu High School which has a high deviation value for the purpose of further education.

I guess this is also the problem that Mr. Hiratsuka is worried about recently.

If her passing rate was too low, she would be called to the principal's office and reprimanded.

Alas, the adult world is really not easy.

"Hey, how's your review going, Yuigahama?"

"I'm not sure, but Chinese should be no problem."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka-sensei breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that because the movement was too large, some parts of the body vibrated violently.
