Chapter 29 Thousand Paper Cranes

Teacher Shangwei stood on the podium and looked at the children below, silently counting their names in his mind. When he found that no one was missing and no accidents had happened, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Teacher Kamio said loudly to the children below: "Today is the first day of school. Can I teach you how to fold paper cranes?"

After hearing what Teacher Kamio said, Tsuna, who was sitting bored in the chair, also became interested. He seemed to have folded paper cranes a few times when he was in elementary school in his previous life.

But the rest of the children hardly knew what paper cranes were, including Glass, who looked at Mr. Ueo on the podium with a confused look on her face.

Teacher Ueo's lips curled up and he chuckled. Seeing the cute little kids below making that expression was so adorable.

Teacher Ageo asked them to sit down and fold one for them to see. Then he lowered his head and took out the square hand-painted cardboard that he had prepared in the drawer next to the podium. In a few seconds, he folded a thousand red paper cranes and held it high to let the children see it more clearly. He received the admiring gazes of the children below, except Tsuna.

Teacher Ueo walked from the podium to the position of the first child on the left, and asked them to pass it around one by one. Then Teacher Ueo walked back to the podium and took out a stack of hand-painted cardboard from the drawer to distribute to the children.

Tsuna looked at the five square pieces of paper in different colors that were handed out. Teacher Ueo shouted to the children in the audience, "Alright, children, look over here and follow me to fold."

Teacher Kamio first demonstrated the first step of folding in half to the children below, then walked over to check if they had made any mistakes. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he move on to the next step.

After the final demonstration, Teacher Kamio looked at the works of the children below. Some were very skillful, while others were folded in a mess, but from their appearance, it could be seen that they were paper cranes.

The one Tsuna folded was almost exactly the same as Teacher Kamio's, and then he received the admiring gaze of Nozomi sitting next to him. Nozomi began to pester Tsuna and asked him to teach her step by step.

"Children, you can start folding first. If you don't understand something, come up and ask the teacher." Teacher Shangwei said this to the children below, then lowered his head and continued to fold paper cranes on the podium.

"it is good!".

Under Tsuna's hands-on teaching, Glass was able to perfectly fold a thousand beautiful paper cranes. She happily held up the paper cranes to show off to the little girl sitting next to her, and kept saying that it was Tsuna who taught her.

After folding a dozen paper cranes, Mr. Kamio looked up at the children below who were folding paper obediently, ignoring Tsuna who was watching Nozomi folding paper. He felt inexplicably warm in his heart, and then clapped his hands vigorously to attract the attention of the children below who were looking down.

The children looked at Teacher Ueo at the podium in confusion. Teacher Ueo reached into the drawer and pulled out a small red flower sticker. She waved it at the children below and said in a gentle voice, "Teacher will now check how you folded yours one by one. If you fold well, you will be rewarded with a small red flower." Then she walked towards the first child.

Glass was nervous and a little excited. She placed the five paper cranes she had folded on the table and asked Tsuna who was looking at her: "Tsuna, Tsuna, which one of me do you think is the best looking?"

Tsuna looked at it carefully, then pointed to the one he'd been teaching her since the beginning. Naruto followed Tsuna's lead and said happily, "Hehe, I think so too." She then put the rest of the items into the hole in the table.

Tsuna suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, turned around and said to Glass, who was looking at the paper cranes and grinning, "Glass, I'm going to the bathroom, don't worry about me." After saying that, he stood up and said something to Mr. Ageo in front of him, then quickly walked out of the Sakura class.

When Teacher Ueo walked over to Glass's position, he first gave a serious review, then tore off a small red flower and stuck it on Glass's left cheek, and said to Glass in a gentle voice: "Then this beautiful paper crane, Glass, I will take it away." Glass was unhappy when she heard it, and quickly stretched out her hands to protect the paper crane, saying excitedly: "I don't want the little red flower anymore, I can't give this paper crane to you, teacher!"

"Why?" Teacher Ueo asked curiously when he saw that Glass reacted so strongly.

Glass gently grasped the paper crane, lowered her head and stammered, "Because... because... because this is the first time Tsuna taught me to fold it, and I don't want to give it to anyone!" After she finished speaking, Glass felt a little sorry for Teacher Ageo, and hurriedly took out the other four folded paper cranes from the hole in the table for Teacher Ageo to choose from. It was okay to take them all.

Teacher Kamio raised the corner of his mouth and said nothing. He picked up one of the four at random, then touched Nozomi's head and chuckled, "Okay, okay, teacher won't take that one." He turned his head to look at Tsuna, then remembered that he had gone to the bathroom.

When Tsuna returned to his seat, Mr. Kamio had already finished reading it all and returned to sit at the podium, but he still walked over to Tsuna's seat with a little red flower and gave him some serious comments.

Tsuna nodded perfunctorily in response to Mr. Ageo, who thought it was almost done, so he tore off a small red flower and wanted to stick it on Tsuna's face.

Tsuna quickly raised his hands to protect his face and said, "Teacher Ueo, please give my little red flower to Glass for me."

Teacher Ueo didn't know what to say to the two kids, so he could only turn around and touch the confused Nozomi's right cheek, then take one of Tsuna's paper cranes and return to the podium.

Looking at the little red flower on her face, Naoko asked Tsuna in confusion: "Tsuna, why don't you want the little red flower awarded by Mr. Ageo?"

"Because I saw you liked it, I gave it to you. Besides, other children only have one little red flower, but my son Nozomi has two." Tsuna chuckled and answered Nozomi's doubts.

"But if you do that, won't you get no red flower?"

Tsuna didn't answer, but touched Nozomi's head with a smile on his face.

At this time, Mr. Ueo clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. He shouted, "Children, let me tell you the story of the thousand paper cranes."

The whole morning was spent listening to Mr. Kamio's stories. He told them that if you fold a thousand paper cranes, your wish will come true.

The children listened very seriously. Shoko even told Tsuna that she would fold a thousand paper cranes and make a wish for the Miyamura and Nishimiya families to be safe and happy.

Tsuna couldn't help but ask Glass curiously: "Why not make your ears normal?"

Glass turned her head and looked into Tsuna's eyes seriously and said, "Because you are the most important to Glass, and if the first wish comes true, I will fold a thousand more and make a wish."
