I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Well, that's it.

"What is the teacher thinking about?"

The girl who was traveling with him, Shinohara Shiori, asked him curiously.

"Um...nothing."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at her and shook his head slightly.

Now that the ensemble practice was over, the two were walking back to the hotel, one after the other.

Shinohara Shiori cast a suspicious look, but after thinking about it, she decided not to investigate further. In comparison, she was more interested in another thing.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

"What's wrong? Please tell me."

"May I ask, which group of students did you ask to leave today? What happened?"

Just after using the system and finding the 12 second-category students who were not threatened based on the system's feedback, Tetsufumi Hirakawa called them out of the team and took them to another room inside the concert hall for a talk.

"It was just a conversation." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said truthfully. There was nothing to hide about this.

“Can you reveal the content?”

Shinohara Shiori seemed quite interested in this.

This caused Tetsufumi Hirakawa to look at her.

"It's nothing, we just reached an agreement with them. They voluntarily withdrew from Group A to Group B. They will also be more relaxed about their future practice."

The maximum number of players in the national competition is 55, and the number of wind bands obviously exceeds that. Therefore, most colleges and universities will assign the extra students or students who do not meet the requirements to group B.

Of course, as mentioned before, students always hide their thoughts in front of the teacher. If we don't rely on the system, there will definitely be a few students who are unwilling to join Group B - maybe because they feel embarrassed, and secretly complain that the training of Group A is too tiring, thus affecting the practice of normal students.

Humans are just so complicated.

So, the system screening is still very useful.

For students who cannot be threatened with the gold medal in the national competition, they must not care about the gold medal in the national competition. Therefore, this group of people will inevitably not be able to train well. Group B is actually the most suitable place for them.

and--

Tetsufumi Hirakawa continued.

"After moving these students to group B, the students in group A can increase the intensity of their training."

"Increase the intensity of training?"

"Yes." Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded. "Before, our wind band had always practiced until 6 o'clock, which is obviously not enough. Later, I will discuss with Mr. Ogasa and consider whether the end time of training can be extended to 7 o'clock."

"Hmm..." Shinohara Shiori thought for a moment, "6 o'clock is indeed too early."

"Yes, after all, it's the gold medal in the national competition, so we have to work hard. Even those strong wind instrument schools practice harder than us."

To put it in chicken soup terms - if people who are better than you work harder than you, then what's the point of your hard work (crossed out) - if people who are better than you work harder than you, what qualifications do you have to not work hard?

That's it.

"But..." Shinohara Shiori asked again, "Why can Mr. Hirakawa be sure that it was those 12 students?"

"Well..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi thought for a moment and came up with an excuse, "Based on educational psychology, I can see from their micro-expressions that those students don't care about the national gold medal."

"..."

silence.

"What's wrong?" Tetsuo Hirakawa glanced at the silent Shinohara Shiori.

Shinohara Shiori fiddled with the trumpet in her hand.

"Teacher Hirakawa, this reason... is too casual."

"..."

It seems that the smart young lady does not believe this reason.

This kind of reason can probably only fool people like Amamiya Yoru who have a second-year syndrome or mind-reading skills.

But I feel that Mr. Hisada might also believe it, she is just an innocent female teacher.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought about it for a while and continued talking.

"It's true, sir. I'm quite knowledgeable about psychology."

"really?"

"Ah."

"So, Mr. Hirakawa, what is Shiori thinking about right now?"

Shinohara Shiori quickened her pace, walked in front of him, and stopped just a few steps away from the hotel entrance, and turned around.

Faced with the girl's playful gaze, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips to smile, and stopped.

"What Shinohara-san said, I'm thinking..."

"Ok?"

Under the moonlight and the warm lights at the hotel entrance, the girl's eyes were full of suspicion.

After thinking for a moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa blurted out.

"I was thinking - I was content with just winning the bronze medal, and I forgot about the goal of winning the national gold medal, and I consoled myself by saying, 'The national gold medal is nothing...'"

"Teacher Hirakawa, stop!"

Halfway through repeating the words, Shinohara Shiori quickly stopped her.

"… Did Mr. Hirakawa hear it?"

"Yes."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled and nodded.

The words just now were said by Shinohara Shiori to mock Kamiki-san in the concert hall.

He heard it as he stood at the door of the concert hall.

"It's very rude, but I have to say it's very much like Shinohara-san."

"..."

The girl stopped talking, and after a few seconds she asked, "When did Mr. Hirakawa start hearing about it?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi thought for a moment and read the following sentence calmly and without any emotion:

"I don't care how you vent your dissatisfaction, but if you want to discredit Mr. Pingchuan, what qualifications do you have?"

"..."

Under the moonlight, the girl's back looked a little embarrassed as she turned and walked away.

The blush on her face, hidden in the blurry night, is full of hazy beauty.

The unscrupulous teacher who suddenly got excited and played a trick on his students was laughing happily.

"Thank you, Shinohara-san."

"..."

Chapter 68 At night, Ogasa Suzuki knocked on his door

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was in a very good mood.

He stood in the night beyond the reach of the hotel lights, watching Shinohara Shiori disappear behind the hotel door.

"If you want to discredit Mr. Pingchuan for this, what qualifications do you have?"

After repeating this sentence in his mouth again, a smile could not help but overflow from the corner of his mouth.

Who could have imagined that more than two months ago, this was a student who said to him, "If you must interfere with my will, please find the next job in time."

What a huge transformation.

With emotion, he started walking again and walked slowly into the hotel.

Then he went up to the second floor and came to his room.

He stopped in front of the door for a few seconds, found the door card from his pocket and swiped it on the sensor. With a "beep", he pushed the door open and walked in.

After entering the room, I turned around and inserted the door card into the power card slot. The room immersed in darkness was suddenly illuminated by bright lights.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen closed the door casually, walked towards the bed, and then "plopped" his upper body and fell onto the white bed.

Although I didn't do much, I was still very tired after being out all day. I missed the feeling of home.

He sighed tiredly, took out his cell phone and took a look. It was already half past nine.

After checking the time, he threw the phone aside, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the ceiling, and the white light came into his eyes.

Even in a room that isn't very soundproofed, I can still hear the footsteps of students walking down the corridor and returning to their rooms.

There was also the chirping of cicadas outside the window, which seemed to have started at some point in time.

It's May now, the weather is getting hotter, and summer is not far away.

The preliminaries for the wind performance competition are not far away, only two months away.

Can the Moritani Wind Orchestra still qualify for the national competition?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was lost in thought, his eyes gradually lost focus, and the bright lights became a blurry white in his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

The knock on the door was so light that Tetsufumi Hirakawa even wondered if it was the door of the next room.

But after listening carefully, he finally confirmed that it was indeed his door that was being knocked.

My hands weakly supported the soft bed, and it felt like I had to use up all my strength to push myself up.

After getting up with difficulty, Tetsufumi Hirakawa shouted "I'm coming", then walked to the door and opened it.

The door was opened, and the petite figure gradually became complete in the field of vision.

"Teacher Ogasa?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at his signature gold-framed glasses.

"Yes, it's me, Mr. Pingchuan, good evening."

Ogasa Suzuki raised her head and nodded.

The oversized frame immediately slid down because of this action, so Mr. Ogasa raised his hand and lifted the bottom edge of the glasses with his bent index finger.

"Um... good evening, what's going on?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a step back.

Ogasa Suzukiko walked in.

"There are some things I want to discuss with Mr. Hirakawa."

Teacher Ogasa spoke softly in her unique soft voice, and then she closed the door beside her with a snap.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stared at the closed door in a daze. Just as he was about to say something, Ogasa Suzukiko beside him had already walked around him and into the room.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi remained stunned for a moment, and then his surprised eyes followed the petite back of Ogasa Suzukiko until the female teacher sat on his bed.

"..."

Now...it's already ten o'clock, right?

The approximate time appeared in his mind, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi's eyes became strange.

He glanced at Ogasa Suzukiko who was sitting on the bed.

The white women's shirt is Moritani's teacher uniform, with the buttons buttoned neatly, and the bottom is a women's suit skirt.

He was dressed decently and sat upright, there was nothing wrong with him.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's wrong?"
