Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't you hear the broadcast at noon today?"

".......It seems like this. After lunch today, I didn't go back to the classroom directly. Instead, I wandered around for a while. I might have walked into an area that was not covered by the broadcast. Can you tell me what the broadcast said?"

"In short, the club briefing will be held at the First Gymnasium at 5 o'clock this afternoon."

"Club briefing session..." I felt a little tempted when I heard this word, but considering the surface, I decided to reject the answer, as it might get involved in other events.

"Aren't you going?" Ichinose asked again.

"Forget it. I probably won't join any clubs anyway. I might as well just go back to the dormitory if I have that time."

"Luo has nothing to do anyway, so it's better to learn a little bit. Teacher Xingzhimiya said that those who perform well in the club can get extra points as a reward."

"The time has finally come. I must join the football club!" Shibata Sa stood up from his seat enthusiastically, and then ran excitedly to the gymnasium with others.

It's so energetic.

"I don't have a strong desire for money, and I have an appointment with Kanzaki-san."

"Hmm? With Kanzaki-san?" Ichinose turned his head and directed the attention of the conversation to my neighbor.

"Well, Luo and I agreed to have dinner together tonight...but before that, I want to attend the club briefing."

"........"

"Then Luo, come along too. It will always be beneficial." Ichinose looked at me with a smile, then ran off with the girls' group.

"......"

Under the influence of various destructive forces, I was forced to follow Kanzaki to the first gymnasium. I thought that there would not be many people coming to join the club, but when I arrived, I found that the number of people was more than I imagined.

I don't understand the mentality of those students who want to enrich their extracurricular life. Although I am not an energy-conservationist in the strict sense, I will definitely avoid this kind of trouble-making thing.

Kanzaki and I found a seat at the back of the gymnasium and read the pamphlet distributed upon entering the gymnasium while waiting for the briefing session to begin.

"High-pressure oxygen chamber..." Kanzaki muttered in disbelief.

High-pressure oxygen chamber? I remember that it is modern equipment used in the medical field. Does this school also include clinical experiments in hospitals?

I turned to the page of the manual that Kanzaki was looking at, which was mainly about the introduction of the track and field team. After I carefully read the contents above, I was surprised to find that it was a simple treatment tool for emergency medical treatment. What? Is this really a simple treatment instead of on-site treatment?

There is absolutely no need for hospitals, okay?

I tried to suppress the shock in my heart and kept flipping through the contents about the clubs. The pictures and descriptions in the booklet made us realize that this school really has made achievements in this area. The club facilities are far more sufficient than those of schools of the same level, even professional-level ones pale in comparison. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no problem to hold a world-class competition here.

"Does Kanzaki have any thoughts on joining the club?"

"Yeah," he nodded, "I originally wanted to join the club, but now it seems that it's not possible."

"Isn't it because of professionalism..."

"Yes." Kanzaki nodded in disbelief. "You can tell from this booklet. The reason I want to join the club is purely because of interest, but the club of this school doesn't seem to be so friendly to newcomers. It feels like 'keep away from strangers'."

"Indeed, this way it feels like a professional effort to move in this direction."

"Almost....Do you have any ideas?"

"Not at all. I wouldn't join even if there were a leisure club like the Homecoming Club. I prefer to live in peace rather than doing meaningless work, I guess." I'm not even sure about this statement myself.

"It looks like you have no experience in participating in any clubs."

"Aren't you the same?"

I still thought that you and I were of the same kind, but it seems I was wrong.

"Don't confuse me with you. I did join the track and field club in junior high school, although I wasn't the captain... But training is not something you should be able to do."

"I have done the most basic training." Although I don't know how I gave him this illusion, I still tried my best to restore my image.

"I feel like your 'most basic' doesn't even reach the level of an average person, given your personality."

"It's been less than two days since we met. How did you judge my daily habits based on my personality? If possible, please be gentler. I'm hurt."

"I'm just telling the truth. It's hard for us not to notice your habits. " After saying that, Kanzaki looked at me sarcastically.

"......"

Wow, people nowadays are so scary. Their cognitive abilities are so advanced.

Just when he was about to refute Kanzaki, a female voice came from the side of the stage and echoed in the gymnasium through the speakers.

"First-year students, please be quiet. We will begin the induction briefing. I am Tachibana, the secretary of the student council, and I will be the host of this briefing. Please give me your guidance."

it has started.

After the host, Senior Tachibana, finished greeting, the club representatives lined up on the gymnasium stage. The club representatives were of all kinds, from the strong-looking seniors in judo uniforms to the beautiful kimonos.

"Can boys join the dance club?"

"Of course you can, but I don't think many boys would choose to dance nowadays. Today's society has basically determined that dance should be an activity for women to display artistic beauty, so men may not feel so good psychologically, in every sense..." After I said this, Kanzaki looked at the senior who was wearing a dance-like outfit.

"Do you really want to join the dance club and watch the seniors dance?"

"Please don't think of me in such a dirty way. I'm just purely curious."

I have seen several male dancers before, but I didn't see any male members on the huge podium.

"Of course I know that your mind would never reach that level."

"......If possible, I hope you can refute what you just said."

Kanzaki ignored me, and the female students on the stage wearing dance costumes began to introduce the club.

"My name is Mami Jise, and I'm the leader of the dance club. I've won national championships many times, so please don't worry about our technical guidance. Of course, we prefer to dance happily with everyone rather than train hard all the time. We welcome beginners, so please be sure to join our club."

It's a very meaningless speech. I guess the following introduction is just for show. The reason why beginners are welcomed is just for points. They are used to pay dues and then they are made aware of their own shortcomings, and then they are kicked out in a logical way.

People are so evil.

I listened to the seniors' repeated announcements of club activities and locations, as well as their charming introductions. During the calligraphy and tea ceremony sessions, I had to pretend to be interested, but there was nothing special about them.

The more clubs were introduced, the noisier the surrounding environment began to become.

I can't hear the sound of the club introduction at all.

"Isn't there a teacher to manage it? If it goes on like this, we won't be able to hear anything." Kanzaki muttered in my ear, making me reassess the scene.

The entire gymnasium was in a frenzy of excitement, with students talking about the affairs of various clubs. However, the teacher who was in charge of supervision did not make any moves, and the club representatives on the stage ignored them and continued to explain.

"How sloppy." Kanzaki complained.

"In fact, we have already left. After all, we have no intention of joining the club."

"Let's finish what we started. We don't have any homework to finish today anyway."

"Ok."

Slowly, the people on the stage began to leave one by one, leaving only one person standing on the stage. A man. He never spoke from beginning to end, just watching all of us quietly from beginning to end, even now.

The man was about 170cm tall, with a slender body and neat black hair. Through his neatly shaped eyes, one could see his intelligent eyes.

He stood in front of the microphone, looking at us calmly. This behavior seemed to be misunderstood as nervousness, so some people made strange remarks. We heard the specific content, but the sarcasm was very serious.

However, even so, the senior student remained unmoved, he just stood there quietly. Suddenly, an invisible aura spread, causing the climax of laughter to wane. An uneasy and nervous mood began to spread among the crowd, making people feel uncomfortable.

Just like that, the whole audience remained silent for more than thirty seconds.

"I'm Horikita Manabu, the student council president." The man's majestic voice slowly spread throughout the gymnasium.

"We will recruit candidates from the first-year students. Candidates do not need any special conditions, but if anyone is considering becoming a candidate for the student council, please avoid joining other clubs. In principle, those who want to join the student council and other clubs at the same time will not be accepted."

Is it for the principle of fairness?

"We, the student union, refuse to allow the participation of people with naive ideas. Such people will only bring shame to our school."

President Horikita used extremely concise words to completely extinguish our thoughts of joining the student union as a joke, and then turned around and left without answering any questions.

The whole audience was still in shock at what he had brought.

"So powerful." Kanzaki couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, he is the president of the student union. His status is somewhat special."

"Thank you for your hard work, this briefing ends here. We will now begin accepting applications for membership. In addition, since the application for membership will be accepted until the end of April, if you want to apply again at this time, please bring your application form directly to the club you wish to join. That's all."

After the student council president left, Secretary Tachibana began to take control of the situation again, slowly planning the route.

"Are you going to take another look?"

"No need for that. Just a simple understanding will be enough. If it is such a high-intensity 'interest', I can't afford it."

"Then let's go eat."

"Let's go."

In this way, I barely made the second person who could be called a 'friend' in this school.

Chapter 9 You are hopeless

Tokyo Metropolitan Koukou Ikusei High School

Although it is a high school, after graduation, you can directly enter the society to work, skipping the value of a university degree. At the same time, it has a high probability of 99% of being able to work in the desired job, and the entire facility uses the most advanced technology.

This is the kind of school that has a very special system full of freedom.

Although there is a student union that is a bridge and link between the school and the students, the need for class leaders has not been clearly established. In other words, a series of special terms such as "old class monitor" and "sports committee member" generally do not exist among students. Instead, they are replaced by a leader with outstanding abilities.

However, under the requirements of our class, the existence of a leader is almost zero, at least it is impossible to have one before Ichinose fails. This is caused by the class environment. Although we finally held an election for class leaders, the identity of class monitor is not equivalent to the existence of a leader. It is a symbol of unity.

The reason for electing class leaders is that it helps students help each other. This proposal was made by Ichinose at the class meeting, and everyone agreed to continue the order. As expected, Ichinose was elected as the class leader, and Kanzaki Ryuji, who was close to me, became the deputy class leader for no apparent reason.

This is probably because of his intellectual eyes.

Throughout the whole nomination process, I was in a state of trembling, fearing that I would be mentioned by someone the next moment. Although there are idle positions such as physiological committee member and life committee member, I still don't want to get involved with them.

If you don't take some responsibility, it will be more glaring, but this responsibility does not include class committee members. If you accept a certain position, you will inevitably be labeled with the corresponding label, which will leave an unforgettable impression. People who are in the dark should try their best to avoid such things.

During the selection, I noticed that Ichinose kept looking at me, but I pretended not to notice and rested my chin on the desk.

"Do you need me to recommend you for a position?"

"I'm sorry. If I offended you, I apologize."

".......Your apology is really cheap and straightforward. Also, come to think of it, you wouldn't take this kind of contribution activity seriously."

"Well, this kind of thing should be considered as teamwork ability. In this regard, I am higher than you, D+ level C."

"Neither of us deserves praise for our teamwork ability, okay?"

"Yes, they are undoubtedly low-level."

"But I'm curious why you are rated one level higher than me. You seem to be out of touch with the whole class."

"This is too much. Being out of touch or something like that, I can't even get an evaluation like the last one? At least give me some respect."

"I'm sorry, but this may be the limit of what I can do to you."

“So humble…”

During the election of the sports committee, Kanzaki and I chatted casually. Because Ichinose was presiding over the meeting, everyone around us was mixed in the heated discussion, so we could chat without restraint.

"But, do you really have nothing to do with Ichinose?"

"You can tell from the look of it. We are just the front and back tables."

"But I always feel that the conversations between you are very intimate. Even now. Her eyes are always wandering on you, and it seems that she really wants you to take the position."

"Hmm, is there?" I pretended not to know and glanced at the desk. At this time, Ichinose did not look at me, "No."

"It seems that your position in my heart is about to drop one level."

“…..What’s the reason?”

"You don't even have the most basic observation skills."

".......But we really have no relationship. If I must say, I might be the first student in this school to get to know Ichinose."

"Okay, I didn't think anything else. I just thought you knew each other before."

"If we weren't in the same class, there's no way I could have connected with Ichinose."

"Although the chances are slim, there is still a possibility that Ichinose will come looking for you."

What? It wasn't me who took the initiative, but Ichinose? When I think about it, when we met, it was Ichinose who spoke first...
