Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

Ichinose visited me shortly before dinner. I thought I could have dinner with her, but when I asked her, I found out that she had already had dinner before coming. But this made me feel less lonely during dinner tonight.

"Do you think Class D will agree to our form of cooperation?"

"Well, I think it should be possible. After all, this will not only improve the scoring ability of the two classes, but even the score of the red team may be raised a lot."

"But the situation inside Class D is hard to say."

Ichinose said to me as if complaining.

"You're worried about the news leaking out... Actually, I don't think it's necessary to let all students know about the arrangement of the entry form. It's better to reveal the important details in advance, such as who will be the last baton of the 2000m relay race, and the recommended candidates for the competition. As for the rest, wait until the sports festival starts to pass the entry form to everyone so that everyone can understand. This seems to be fine."

"But if that's the case, then the other players' mental preparation and order of appearance are not decided by us, right?"

"It shouldn't matter. You must be able to understand that you have to go on stage. The order of who goes first and who goes last is not important. As long as you avoid the main force of Class D, the rest of the students assigned to other classes will have to rely on luck."

"Well......"

Ichinose had to think about the hidden meaning of these few words. In fact, I was just answering the questions in a confused manner. I knew that this was just a consolation for boredom after dinner. But Ichinose's behavior of leaning on my shoulder and biting his fingers was quite pleasing to the eye.

For a moment, the desire to touch her arose in my mind again.

"...Luo Jun, do you think there are any unconventional ways to win in this sports festival?"

On the one hand, Ichinose wanted to ask me about my personal direction of action.

"A strange way to win, could you be more specific?"

"Even during the special exam for favored students, that fake broadcast kept all of us in the dark."

"That kind of thing... This sports festival seems to only test motor skills. There shouldn't be any other way to win."

"So... no?"

"There should be some... It's useless to ask me about this kind of thing. I can only think of conventional means. For example, get the entry forms of Class B and Class C before the game starts, and then make adjustments based on the players. Or use some violent means on the field to make the opponent lose the ability to continue..."

"No matter how difficult these things are, Ichinose will never allow students from his class to attack others."

"If possible, I hope the game can be conducted fairly."

"In that case, we can only look forward to it. Kanzaki also told me that the tricks that can be used in this game are quite limited. In other words, it all depends on your strength and a little luck."

This is true.

This time the sports festival was fundamentally different from the previous special exams. Even with this deep hidden trick, the sports festival was still a test of strength.

Unless the character's identity can be replaced, like finding a professional athlete...

Similarly, the sports festival should be seen as a test of basic physical strength and sense, and the structure of the exam avoids the use of tricks.

In other words, once the sports festival begins, it is virtually impossible to influence the overall situation.

There is only so much you can do in an exam.

"But then again, Class C's actions are also worrying. Such a bold act of breaking up with Class B... Although it is possible that Class B and Class C have already cooperated in private, it is not ruled out that Ryuen has already found a way to defeat us."

"...There is a lot of preparation work to be done."

"But the most important thing now is to improve my personal strength."

Ichinose successfully decided on what to do next on my side.

"Luo will help me this time, right?"

"...As a member of the class I will do my part."

"Are you still going to hide your physical strength from everyone?"

"Even so, there are some sports I'm still not good at."

"Well--"

Until this moment, I still didn't understand that my excuses had led Ichinose to decide to take "revenge" on me.

As a result, I was forced to participate in unnecessary project activities and was even given high expectations.

Chapter 153 Shaved Ice March

His contribution to the class cannot be ignored, but if that were all, considering his abilities, he can only be described as mediocre.

However, the current mediocrity is only temporary, and the mediocre excellence is only superficial.

Perhaps we can view the current situation as the darkness before dawn that requires us to persevere and the dawn of victory will come in the near future.

A common saying in society: The road to success is never smooth sailing.

In this light, the current situation can be described as a period of setbacks and lows, and it will even remain so for a long time in the future - mediocre.

But we don’t have that much time to wait.

Because I don’t know my own abilities, I want to get to know them.

Because I know my abilities, I want to use them.

Because of the incomprehensible deviation, we want to know how to use our abilities.

Because I don’t know how to use my abilities, I choose to go with the flow.

There is no doubt that the current period is the climbing period when he is about to enter awakening.

Although the climbing levels were comparable, there was still value in looking ahead to the future.

Even so, there are still cases where one is overwhelmed by the mediocrity of the current situation and fails to live up to one's own talents and abilities. If one's position is at the top of society, then one must know the truth about so-called "mediocrity" and "inaction".

Of course, the current situation is not only caused by the individual's going with the flow, but also by the difficulty in handling interpersonal relationships with others.

Maybe now is a good opportunity to guide him, to adapt to interpersonal communication while coordinating the work. Now he may also realize that he cannot do it alone, and the so-called right thing is not in his own hands.

Self-admiration and self-esteem do not have such influencing factors, but are more about not being good at actively creating and seizing opportunities. Personal success also requires seizing opportunities to perform, or in other words, it requires him to experience some kind of personal success.

This brings the issue back to personal opinions and views, with cognitive impairment being the biggest problem.

Without active motivation, one cannot draw conclusions on his own, so even if he is taken seriously, he will never be easily noticed.

Ichinose's influence is also the reason for this, and perhaps he will be able to grow better after leaving the class.

"Well, if a person has this or that ability but does nothing, then do you think that the bad things that happen afterwards are his responsibility?"

Looking at this question from an objective perspective, the answer is more inclined to be absolutely not.

But under the 'blackmail' of human morality, people are often unable to break free from their own limitations.

What is wrong and what is right, the orientation of things often does not have such an understanding.

It may serve as an indirect hint, but it is by no means an excuse for me to cover up personally.

As for the reason, that's all.

I tied a headscarf on my head, which symbolizes the Red Team.

There is still a month left before the opening of the sports festival, and we have officially started the preparations. The notice said that the two-hour class meeting every week can be used freely, and the way of use is also decided by the class students themselves. Although the class teacher can observe from the side, he cannot interfere.

Although we wanted to use this opportunity to bring the two classes together for discussion, considering efficiency issues, we finally decided to have the leaders of both sides meet to resolve the issue.

Regarding the official competition of the sports festival, there are two points that must be decided before it starts.

How to decide the order of appearance for all events, and then recommend the contestants and which events to participate in.

These two decisions are fundamental to the final victory or defeat of the sports festival.

The latter does not need to be taken into consideration by both parties, but the importance of the former is unquestionable.

After the meeting at the gymnasium, Class D quickly responded to our request and agreed to our cooperation intention. Its leaders Hirata and Horikita also immediately decided to meet with us in the cafe for a talk.

Although I think that a cafe is not a suitable place for negotiations, since the leaders of both sides are so optimistic about it, as a small person, I cannot make any more comments on it.

There are always a few followers around a leader, just like Ayanokouji who is walking with the leader of the other party.

Well, that's what I said, but -

Since Kanzaki has been brought along, my presence is totally unnecessary. The results of the discussion will be announced to the class at the end of the discussion, so isn't it better for me to be idle until then?

In response to this, I sounded the clarion call of rebellion in my heart, but only within myself.

The people sent by Class A to the cafe for the discussion were Ichinose, Kanzaki, and me, while those sent by Class D were Hirata, Horikita, and Ayanokouji. Because of the cooperation between the two sides, we formed a strange combination of six people.

In fact, if I were Shibata, I would agree with this. Kanzaki didn't have any objection to this, and although Ichinose protested at first, he gave up when he saw that I had no intention of doing so.

What I didn't expect was that Shibata would actually refuse on the grounds that he had no talent for command.

You are too modest. You have such a great influence on the boys in the class, and it is because of your behavior that the class situation has become like this. Now you say that you are not good at it. This behavior really bothers me.

However, since I have already set out on my journey, no matter how much I complain, it will be of no use.

"..."

Although the meeting place was a cafe, we ran into each other on the way there. Hirata and Ichinose were walking in front, chatting and laughing, and behind them followed the four of us who were taciturn.

Wow, this combination is really weird.

Even if we put Shibata or Kushida-san from Class D in, we wouldn't be like this.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at our destination, the Kemeido Cafe on the second floor of the Beech Shopping Center.

This was the first time in my life that I walked into a cafe.

Even before this, no matter how much I had heard about the fame and life of coffee shops, I had never set foot in one.

On the one hand, I think it is quite strange to walk into a cafe alone without anyone accompanying you. On the other hand, the space in the cafe is mostly occupied by women, and there are only a handful of men that can be seen through the glass windows.

This situation is common in this school, or even worse. At most, I saw Koenji from Class D chatting happily with the seniors on my way back to the dormitory.

I did mention this to Shiratori and the others, but their request was quickly rejected.

Reasons were like, "Why would we go to a place where only girls would hang out?", "Is it stupid to sit in a coffee shop and drink coffee leisurely without completing the 'mission'?", "It's better to go to a comic book cafe than a coffee shop."... and so on.

Although it is not clear what the "mission" and "manga" they are talking about are, there seems to be nothing special about it judging by the results. It's nothing more than boss battles and Sailor Moon.

After pushing open the glass door, the entire interior of the cafe appeared before my eyes.

Before coming here, I specifically searched on the Internet for information about the theme environment of this cafe, that is, the decoration style inside the cafe, but what I saw with my own eyes was completely different from what I imagined.

The style can be described as nostalgic and retro, with a strong classical atmosphere. However, the pictures circulating on the Internet appear brighter and more modern.

Although it was a weekend morning, the lights in the cafe were unexpectedly dim.

The Italian candles were half-burned at the front desk, and the lit candles were enveloped in the light from the chandelier, giving a sense of transparency that eliminated the moisture when burning incense.

A melodious piano was being played in the cafe. The blinds were tilted sharply, and only a tiny bit of sunlight from outside was passing through the small gap, giving me a feeling of relaxation that extended endlessly.

Dim candlelight, soft music, and the tempting aroma of coffee in the air.

Anyway, I now have a magical feeling, at least different from usual.

On the brick partition wall, the English words "Are you in love?" are written in white powder, and the rest are decorative wall-mounted potted plants.

I followed the crowd, and this magical scene seemed ordinary to them. We originally planned to find a seat on the second floor, but it seemed that the second floor would be more crowded, so we just found a corner on the first floor.

As I took my seat, we all discovered a fact: that is, several of our competitors were sitting diagonally.

First of all, there are not many obstacles to the visual formation in this direction, and also, it is hard not to pay attention to the silver-haired person in their team.

Arisu Sakayanagi, the leader of the radical faction in Class B.

Although she wouldn't be able to hear our conversation at this distance, I didn't know whether she would use lip reading or cold reading to analyze our communication.

The moment we noticed her, she turned her head to look at us, but she only gave us a smile.

"It's Sakayanagi from Class B... Looks like we need to be careful with our conversation."

Horikita watched the situation and then spoke softly, but Ichinose said the opposite.

"It doesn't really matter if they hear us. What we need to discuss today is how to decide the order of appearance for all members. Even if they find out, they can't actually do anything strategically against us."

"After all, the ability to set traps in this regard is quite limited. The key is still the information of the person who entered the entry form. At least that's what I personally think."

"While this is true, the less the enemy knows about intelligence, the better."

"But please be open to the truth."

In response, Hirata and Horikita nodded.

If they were so concerned about obtaining intelligence from other classes, why did they choose a cafe as the venue for the discussion?

I can't figure this out.
