I refuse to be a plagiarist

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka is not an extreme smoker, whenever she encounters something distressing, she likes to light up a ladies' cigarette or open a can of pull-tab beer at the beach.

".......All right."

Seeing that the teacher in front of him seemed to have his own adult difficulties, Hasegawa decisively chose to end the topic.

After all, life is not always smooth sailing. When you encounter something that affects your mood, you need to find a relatively reasonable way to vent.

Adults who have left their parents' care and have to bear everything independently can basically only swallow the pain silently when facing all this, and then the next day they act as if nothing happened, put on a forced smile, and continue to greet the slowly rising sun.

Just like the teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of us.

[Under her carefree appearance, there must be some troubles caused by daily problems...]

So I thought in my heart.

But soon, Hasegawa's mood came to an abrupt end with the other party's funny ridicule:

"By the way, kid, why haven't I seen you and Yang Nai hanging out together recently?

Could it be that...the two of them had some conflict?"

"........"

The other party's undisguised gossip made Hasegawa couldn't help but twitch his lips.

I was wrong, and I was terribly wrong.

How could such a heartless guy, even if he is an adult, be troubled by the trivial things in life!

【あたしって、ほんとバカ（I am such an idiot......）】

Facing the windowsill, he subconsciously wanted to do a classic 45-degree backward move towards the stupid teacher behind him, and then took out Sayaka's saber to shoot this ignorant guy.

"Teacher, please don't let your imagination run wild.

Also, Yukinoshita seems to be in contact with a junior in your class named Yoshida recently, so you should know something about it."

"Haha... young man, don't take it too seriously."

He patted Hasegawa Hide's shoulder carelessly.

In response to his slight dissatisfaction, Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed and then muttered to herself:

"Yoshida?

Hearing what you said, Hasegawa, it suddenly occurred to me that during breaks recently, I seemed to often see Haruno and Yoshida talking to each other......"

【……】

"You should at least pay attention to the students in your class...Teacher Jing."

He spread his hands helplessly.

Seeing Hasegawa's pointed look, Hiratsuka Shizuka raised her fist and shook it in protest, then laughed and scolded softly:

"You little brat... How dare you laugh at your teacher like this?

But what happened last time was really thanks to you."

"what?"

"Haha... I never thought that a teacher like me would need the help of a little kid like you to solve a problem."

He smiled and winked at the boy in front of him.

Without waiting for the other party to reply, Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her arm with her back to him, then slowly walked towards her office:

"The bell is about to ring, you should go to class.

If you are absent, Mr. Morishita, who is in charge of the physical education class, will not let you off easily. "

"what!

That grumpy old man..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's reminder instantly reminded Hasegawa of the grumpy uncle who had left a deep impression on him during the first physical education class of the new semester.

I don't know why, but this physical education teacher seems to be very fond of implementing the concept of superiors and subordinates. He can be said to be a very old-fashioned type.

Many times, Hasegawa even saw in this physical education teacher some shadows of the militaristic officers during the Japanese invasion war in the movies.

Rigid, tough, and "ruling" students with an almost ruthless attitude.

Regarding this anti-human thing, besides wondering why the other party was recruited to be a physical education teacher in Sobu High School, he, who puts the concept of "fairness, justice, harmony and the rule of law" above all else, will not give the other party any good face.

It can be said that Hasegawa and Mr. Morishita were destined to have an "indissoluble bond" from the very beginning when they were assigned to the same class.

The occurrence of this conflict is nothing more than a matter of time...

Chapter 34: That Man

“It’s troublesome…”

While muttering to himself, he walked towards the playground.

Hasegawa Hide would never have thought that the course that he once longed for but was always occupied by his main subjects would one day he would resist it so deeply in his heart.

[Should I just... quit? ]

A very "rebellious" idea gradually emerged from his mind.

After all, it is different from the blind workers at the beginning.

Now that he has found his growth path, the purpose of staying in school is just to make the most of the time before he turns eighteen.

If he hadn't subconsciously retained the Chinese students' idea of ​​"studying hard and making progress every day", skipping work and becoming a stay-at-home mom wouldn't be something he would have to worry about.

The economic foundation is crucial.

And now, Hasegawa Hide has indeed acquired the wealth foundation that is sufficient to allow him to move freely.

Although teachers often teach that "money cannot solve all problems in the world", the fact is that in this world full of capital, in most cases, when money cannot solve the problem, other methods are basically impossible to work.

[I hope it won’t come to that....]

Thinking of the face of Mr. Morishita, Hasegawa couldn't help but frowned and prepared for the worst in his heart.

On the stage called school, teachers have a natural suppression over students.

Although he himself respected the profession of teacher, the fact was that it was impossible for everyone to be as selfless as a certain Mach 20 octopus for the healthy growth of their students.

Academic qualifications and assessments can only filter out poor students, but not scumbags.

Once a class encounters some teachers who are really inhumane, the students in that class will most likely be traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Change into gymnastics clothes and go to the playground.

Compared to everyone's regular clothes or standard school uniforms, this light and uniform clothing is more suitable for some intense sports.

But when it is placed on a girl, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it always gives people a soft pornographic feel.

This also led to the fact that when Hasegawa first entered junior high school and everyone began to grow rapidly, he felt extremely tortured every time he had physical education class.

Whether you are looking at girls or boys.

Fortunately, humans are quite adaptable. After three years of "training", his thickness has now reached a certain level.

Even though he was often surrounded by girls who invited him to form a team and had physical contact with them from time to time, Hasegawa was still able to remain calm and kill the opponent's team one by one with the most rational and powerful attitude.

"Hasegawa, you're here!"

"Hasegawa-kun, come here quickly."

"Hasegawa..."

As soon as he arrived at the playground, Hasegawa was greeted with warm invitations from male and female classmates from all directions.

After his experience in the first year of high school and the offline challenge event shortly after the start of the second year, he is now considered a "celebrity" in school.

Although everyone was curious about why he was basically not seen in the part-time store since the first half of the year, considering Hasegawa's solitary style, except for Yukinoshita who liked to argue with him at the beginning, gradually, the classmates stopped spending much time on this topic.

After all, compared to Hasegawa, these trivial things are not important at all.

And from the perspective of some gossipy students, it is not difficult to understand that Hasegawa, who has been listed as a "rich woman" (Yukinoshita), no longer needs to run around for a living...

————————————

Showing off the strength of a "senior" in front of freshmen through a competition was only a short-lived campus story, but everyone still somewhat regarded Hasegawa as a "hero".

In an environment like Japan where fan culture is highly developed, this longing is invisibly magnified to an extent.

In addition, after entering high school, the bad deeds of the glorious knights around the school were cleared up...

It is precisely because of this that Hasegawa, who had just been assigned to a new class and had not yet fully memorized the names of his classmates, was so popular in the class.

I responded to the extremely enthusiastic classmates with a smile.

Then, amid the regretful looks of some girls, Hasegawa Hide picked an inconspicuous corner in the team and quietly dived in.

"Can I be here, please?"

"Oh, oh, of course, please feel free."

The classmates around seemed a little flattered.

Faced with this seemingly exaggerated reaction, Hasegawa just smiled politely, then stood silently in his seat, unable to help but mutter to himself.

“People are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of becoming fat,” “The bird that sticks its head out gets shot.”... The words left by our ancestors are not completely without reason even though they have transcended time.

Not to mention that he himself was not the type of person who liked to mingle with the crowd and get along with everyone like a "social butterfly", the experience of being surrounded by people always made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

Especially the physical education teacher is still Morishita, who likes to find fault and suppress students' individuality.

The students' enthusiastic performance made him start to worry.

There's a good chance that the annoying guy will use this to constantly make trouble for himself during physical education class.

[This is difficult....]

The class bell rang on time.

Looking at the boys and girls around him who still turned their heads and stole a glance at him from time to time, although he still had that faint smile on his face, his heart had already fallen into torture.

In the distance, a dark-skinned man, not very tall but very strong-looking, was carrying a rubber stick and walking slowly towards the direction where the crowd was.

"Ah, it's Morishita..."

"Oh, what bad luck, he was assigned to be the physical education teacher this year."

There were wailing sounds all around.

Obviously, apart from Hasegawa, the "thorny" one, the other students in the class didn't have a very good impression of the physical education teacher.

"Okay! Class starts, roll call!"

He glanced at the students in front of him.

When his eyes reached the direction where Hasegawa was, the teacher, who had a serious expression as if he was owed millions of yen, paused for a moment, and after staring at him for a few seconds, he slowly looked away.

Although he had not said anything publicly before about this "problem child" who had been causing trouble in school since entering school, he had actually always been concerned about him in his heart...

Chapter 35: Manly Courage

Mr. Morishita's attention to Hasegawa was not as persecution-filled as he had imagined.

Just like all teachers pay attention to students who perform well in the entrance exam, as the physical education teacher of Class 2-B, I naturally pay attention to this student who obviously has unique advantages in physical fitness.

Different from China, where physical education classes only play an important role in the high school entrance examination, in Japan, physical education training naturally occupies a considerable proportion.

Actual interests determine the level of status.

Otherwise, the members of those sports clubs would not be subconsciously considered by their classmates to be part of the "present party".

This is because there are honors and tangible rewards as potential incentives.

One by one, the students responded when Mr. Morishita called out their names. When it was Hasegawa Hide's turn, he was still worried that the other party would deliberately test him by saying "Your voice is too soft, I can't hear you" or "I said I can't hear you, so I can't hear you."

But as for the result, this time, it was obvious that he was worrying too much.

This teacher, who looked extremely serious, not only did not cause him any particular trouble, but he also seemed to read an inexplicable eagerness in the other person's eyes.

【Eager?!】
