Chapter 451 Petty Thoughts and Big News [4K3]

With the conclusion of the first monthly exam of the new semester, Chengnan Private High School has once again fallen into a state of widespread despair.

It seems that the first monthly exam of each semester carries the power of 'rules'; no matter how much preparation you make before the exam, the final result is always unsatisfactory.

With high emotional intelligence, everyone experienced the feeling of "no destruction, no construction," and completely recovered from the post-holiday syndrome.

Low emotional intelligence led to a poor exam result; I need to work harder to make up for it in the next monthly exam.

However, everything has two sides. For the subject teachers, a failure in a monthly exam can help everyone correct their learning attitude and approach the upcoming studies with more seriousness, which they find acceptable.

In fact, they are quite satisfied with the result.

Everyone has indeed adjusted and returned to the feeling they had when the last semester was nearing its end.

With the right attitude, improved grades are only a matter of time.

However, according to the consistent rules of Seongnam Private High School, a good attitude towards learning is essential and takes precedence, but equally important is the enthusiasm to participate in school activities.

In the principal's words, we need to develop in a multi-faceted way.

"So, what would you like to say about this sports event?"

The day after the monthly exam results were announced, on Friday morning during Chinese class, Risa Yasuhara, with her hands on the teacher's desk, asked this question.

In a sense, she was just copying the person she hated most in high school.

Back then, all she wanted to do was study hard and study intensely. In her opinion, any group activities other than studying and club activities were a waste of time.

Therefore, she prefers to watch the show rather than actually participate.

Unfortunately, in every group activity, she would be pushed forward by her friends.

Despite her apparent reluctance, she consistently led everyone to excel in every group activity.

And when no one can see her, she will secretly laugh.

Looking back now, she was quite eccentric in high school.

"Teacher Yasuhara!"

Kiriyama and Ma raised their hands.

He was always enthusiastic about such group activities.

Not to mention, he did quite well in this monthly exam, and was publicly praised by Risa Yasuhara and his English teacher a couple of days ago.

"You say it."

Risa Yasuhara raised her chin, gesturing for him to stand up and speak.

She had already checked her watch; there were still 15 minutes left before get out of class ended, and the next class was also hers, giving everyone plenty of time to speak freely.

"In my opinion, our overall strategy for this sports meet should be to maintain last year's results, aim for a top-three finish in the grade overall, and strive for first place in some of our strongest events." Tongshan and Ma paused for a moment, "For example, in last year's men's 100 meters, our class's ace, Ishikawa, an excellent member of the track and field club, performed exceptionally well."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that students from other classes have to inhale his exhaust fumes."

At this point, he naturally turned his head and looked at Ishikawa Mune, who was sitting in the fifth row by the aisle window. The latter also straightened his back, looking dignified and indifferent.

Well, I'm secretly feeling pretty good about it right now.

In order to maintain his air of expertise, the man forcibly suppressed his unrestrained laughter.

It seems I have achieved my goal.

After saying this to himself, Kiriyama Kazuma nodded solemnly to Ishikawa Munechika, then turned back to continue explaining his plans.

"Similarly, I think students who achieved excellent results in some projects last year should continue to demonstrate their abilities, while those who did not perform well should not be discouraged. They should persevere and eventually succeed."

In short, it's all about the original cast!

"Professor Yasuhara, I'm done."

"Okay, please sit down."

After Kiriyama and Ma sat down, Risa Yasuhara finally took a look at the students below the stage.

To be honest, what Kiriyama said just now was a bit bureaucratic, but someone still had to start things off.

That's exactly what she was thinking. Students who participated last year are also welcome to participate this year, as are those who watched the games last year but want to warm up as head coaches this year.

Anyway, their class applied for two fewer spots last year, so there's nothing wrong with filling them in this year.

"My thoughts are quite similar to Kiriyama's. I think students who achieved good results last year can try again this year, which can also boost their reputation in the school."

Risa Yasuhara shrugged and continued in a very natural tone.

"Of course, if you feel that you participated last year and don't want to participate this year, that's fine too. As I said before, it's all voluntary."

After he finished speaking, the audience remained silent, and many students looked at each other in bewilderment.

"However, if you participated last year and participate again this year, the class will give you a third more in prize money."

Knowing perfectly well what was going on, Risa Yasuhara added another sentence.

It's a very simple principle: if you want someone to do your work, you have to pay them.

Simply talking about a sense of honor isn't enough to be tempting.

Of course, the reason she can be so "rich and powerful" is because the butler café made a lot of money last year.

After deducting the salaries paid to the students who served as 'deacons', there was still a considerable amount of money left over.

She saved that portion of the money.

Nearly 100,000 yen is more than enough to cover the prize money for this sports meet.

Unless everyone unleashes their full potential and gets first place, she might have to contribute some money.

But if that's the case, what does it matter if she contributes a little?

"Teacher Anyuan, it is my duty to bring honor to our class!"

Ishikawa Munechika set an example by raising his hand first.

Money doesn't matter, the main thing is to get a good ranking.

I think I can do it too!

The girls who achieved good results in the high jump last year also raised their hands.

"Everyone, don't rush. Class monitor, write down the names of everyone who wants to sign up."

Risa Yasuhara turned her head and gave the class monitor a look, signaling her to get paper and pen to take notes.

The latter nodded knowingly, quickly took out paper and pen, and got to work.

"Why do I feel like Kiriyama and Risa are working together?"

In the audience, Ayana Amamiya turned her head and whispered something to Yu Watanabe.

"There's no doubt they're working together, but judging from Risa's expression just now, she probably didn't expect Kiriyama to say those things."

As Watanabe Yu spoke, he looked thoughtfully at the podium.

He had a bad feeling about not being able to say anything.

He barely passed the monthly exam, ranking fourth in the grade.

Ayana, on the other hand, took first place in the grade and made a name for herself.

On the day the results were announced, the school broadcast specifically mentioned this incident, giving the young lady a taste of 'embarrassment'.

This is completely different from the kind of 'fame' she has experienced before.

In her own words, she felt an indescribable sense of shame.

"Um……"

That's life; it always gives you unexpected encounters when you least expect them.

Just then, Risa Yasuhara's gaze also turned in his direction.

Their eyes met in the air.

Watanabe Yu instinctively sensed something was wrong, but before he could look away, Yasuhara Risa on the podium spoke first.

"Watanabe also achieved good results last year, right?"

She asked the question casually.

"Take it!"

The audience, always eager for a good show, immediately responded.

To be honest, rather than letting Watanabe watch from the audience, everyone would prefer him to come up on stage and participate as well.

Many students even feel a sense of dependence on him; they feel at ease as long as they see him participating in the sports meet.

Their class has at least one guaranteed first place in a single subject.

“Watanabe.” Risa Yasuhara took over the conversation, looking at Yu Watanabe with a half-smile.

"I'll be doing the same thing as last semester, signing up for the men's 3000 meters."

He knew it.

But there's no way to avoid it, and besides, he wasn't that averse to participating in the sports meet.

"Only one item should be reported?"

Risa Yasuhara blinked, a hint of regret appearing in her bright eyes.

"Let's have another relay race then."

Watanabe Yu pouted.

Well, there's someone waiting for him here.

"can."

Risa Yasuhara nodded in satisfaction.

The school only allows students to register for two events, while sports clubs can only register for one event.

Her goal was achieved.

"Keep it up!"

The young lady, Saintess, rested her chin on her hand and looked at the dejected Mr. Troll with a smile.

Having shared a bed for so long, she could naturally tell that he wasn't opposed to it, but rather just felt a little helpless.

But it's kind of cute.

And she'd never seen him sweat it out on the track before, so this was a chance to make up for that.

"It can only be the."

Watanabe Yu chuckled and shrugged; his bad mood came and went quickly.

There's nothing wrong with participating in more projects.

"Then, let's continue with the registration."

Risa Yasuhara raised an eyebrow, signaling that the person who volunteered could begin.

She planned to finalize the sports meet arrangements in this one class period.

To avoid complications and further delays.

Moreover, the school requires the list to be submitted by next Wednesday.

Moreover, if you do the math, there are less than two weeks left until the sports meet, so they don't have much time left.

While the famous singer 'Jay' was enjoying his campus life, Yu Yokota was also starting the first round of press conferences for his film.

"Director Yokota, some industry insiders have said that you will be submitting this film to international film festivals, is that right?"

A female reporter wearing a badge stood up, holding a small notebook with notes, and asked the question.

"We have this idea at the moment."

Sitting in the main seat, Yu Yokota nodded, confirming the reporter's question.

"Thank you."

After politely thanking her, the female reporter sat down and quickly began jotting down notes in her paper memo.

— [Director Yokota aims to break into the international market and is confident of winning international film awards]

Although the title is a bit misleading, these days, if your title isn't sensational or suggestive, nobody will click to read it.

Moreover, what she said wasn't a lie; she answered affirmatively herself, and she even participated in international exhibitions, which means she had the idea of ​​winning international awards, right?

And Director Yokota still looked so calm and collected, which clearly showed that he was confident of success.

In other words, it's no exaggeration for her to say that he was confident he would win international film awards.

"Then, please come next."

The assistant sitting next to Yokota Yu diligently took on his responsibility and roused the reporters who were raising their hands in the audience.

"Director Yokota, hello. I'm Ritsuya Hotta, a reporter from 'Geion Shinron'. Regarding the first promotional video you just showed, who composed the piano piece in it?"

More than the actual content of the film, as a media reporter specializing in the connection between music and film, he was more interested in the piano piece that had left a deep impression on him after just one viewing.

It's no exaggeration to say that the music, combined with the scenes in the promotional video, was truly powerful and impactful.

"Made by a disciple of Nagano Rinne."

Yokota Yu slightly embellished Nagano Rinne's original answer.

In a sense, what he said wasn't entirely false; after all, a mentor is a teacher, isn't he?

And if he remembered correctly, Yunyin Xinlun was a media outlet that focused on music, and it had a very big reputation in the field of connecting music and film.

He had heard from people in the industry that the actual user base of "Yunyin Xinlun" was much larger than the data that "Yunyin Xinlun" published to the public each year.

So, he was essentially doing someone a favor.

"Teacher Nagano?"

Ritsuya Horita shrank back in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Nagano Rinne did not have any disciples.

Unless, she has always had it, but has been hiding it all along.

He doesn't acknowledge the claim that he's a "nominal disciple."

Everyone in the piano world knows Nagano Rinne's temperament. She may compromise on other collaborations, but when it comes to her students, or more precisely, when it involves her own reputation, she never backs down.

After all, everyone knows that her goal is to shine on the international stage.

One's reputation must be spotless.

If we analyze it this way...

The possibility of them concealing it is quite high.

"Yes."

Yokota nodded, his attitude quite friendly.

His intuition told him that this news was likely to go viral.

His movies also naturally attract a large amount of traffic.

"Could you tell me who Nagano-sensei's student is?" Ritsuya Horita paused for a moment. "I'd like to know his (or her) name."

This is big news not only in the piano world, but also in the music world.

If this gets reported, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.

He never expected that Yokota Yu's answer would far exceed his expectations.

The storms it was about to stir up were far greater than he had imagined.

"You are familiar with his name, or rather, all the reporters present here are familiar with it."

Yokota Yu spoke calmly, subtly keeping everyone in suspense.

"..."

The reporters in the audience didn't rush to respond; they simply watched him silently on stage.

They knew Yokota was keeping them in suspense, but their curiosity was certainly piqued.

It's fair to say that people who lack curiosity can't become journalists.

Fortunately, Yokota Yu did not keep us in suspense any longer.

After a slight pause, he uttered the name written on the contract, which had been confirmed by both himself and Nagano Rinne.

"Jay."

After he finished speaking, the audience fell into a deathly silence.

Many people stared wide-eyed, exchanging bewildered glances.

If we're talking about who Jay is, most people are probably familiar with him as the singer on the music website.

But, is it really him?!
As if he could read their minds, Yokota Yu calmly added another sentence.

"It's the Jay you're thinking of."

So, the look of surprise and uncertainty turned into shock, and then into fervor and excitement.

The mysterious singer Jay seems to have finally revealed a glimpse of his true self!
And without a doubt, this will become a viral sensation and break out of the public eye today!
