A classroom that relies on high technology to achieve excellence

In this way, the sudden visit of Ichinose helped Kanda Shuichi and others get rid of the troublesome teacher Hoshinomiya.

Chabashira-sensei watched Hoshinomiya-sensei leave. She scratched her head in annoyance, sighed inexplicably, and walked towards the direction of the tutoring room.

Not long after, Kanda Shuichi followed Chabashira-sensei into the counseling room near the teacher's office.

"So... is there something that you want us to do? I don't seem to remember offending Chabata Sensei?" Kanda Shuichi also scratched his head, and his action was exactly the same as Chabata Sensei's before.

"Are you provoking me?"

"Uh, I don't dare."

Kanda Shuichi put down his hands awkwardly, pretending nothing had happened.

Afterwards, Mr. Chazhu opened the inner room next to the counseling room. It seemed to be a tea room, with not only an electric stove but also a tea kettle on it.

"Just make some tea, right? Roasted tea will do?" As he said that, Ayanokouji picked up the teapot and turned over the teacup that was previously upside down on the tea table.

"Can Ayanokouji make tea? Then I want black tea, with sugar and milk."

Hearing what Kanda Shuichi said, Ayanokouji was speechless.

"I seem to remember that you abandoned me at the critical moment. Why did you have the nerve to drink the tea I made?"

"That was force majeure. You've seen how difficult it is to deal with Mr. Hoshinomiya."

There was a good reason for that, because even Ayanokouji felt that the teacher was a bit difficult to deal with.

"You two, stop it and be serious. In any case, stay here quietly and don't make any noise until I let you out. Got it? If you violate this, you will be expelled from school."

It's fake, absolutely fake.

Because when you were in a situation where you could really drop out, the tone you used when you said it was completely different, Mr. Chabashira.

Watching Chabashira Sensei close the door and go out, Kanda Shuichi took the teapot that Ayanokouji had put back on the table, then quickly filled it with water and placed it on the electric stove, not taking what he had just said to heart at all.

Water makes a loud noise when it boils, so shortly after the kettle was plugged in, Mr. Chabashira heard the sound.

His eyebrows twitched unconsciously twice, and Chabashira took a deep breath, deciding not to bother with the two people inside.

"Isn't this too much?"

Under the cover of the sound of boiling water, Ayanokouji asked in a low voice.

"It's okay. I want to try your cooking, too."

"So I've said it all, are you okay with that?"

"I've already said it's force majeure, please understand."

Boom!

"Quiet!"

Chabashira-sensei's voice was heard from outside, and the two of them immediately fell silent.

Not long after, Chabashira-sensei's voice was heard again from outside.

"I'm here, Horikita. The hot water will be ready soon. Would you like a cup of tea?"

Hearing this, Kanda Shuichi immediately looked at Ayanokouji, then took out his cell phone and started typing.

[Prepare to make tea, four cups.]

Although he was speechless, Ayanokouji still prepared four cups, took out the tea powder from the container with the word "black tea" on the side, and waited for the hot water to boil.

"Then trouble you."

"Then please sit over there first."

Soon, the sound of Horikita and Chabashira-sensei talking came from outside, followed by the sound of hot water boiling in the kettle.

"The water is already boiling, won't Chabashira-sensei go make some tea?"

"Horikita, it seems that you have never learned the tea ceremony. You can't make tea with freshly boiled water."

After hearing what Chabashira said, Kanda Shuichi finally understood. No wonder Ayanokouji didn't move. Was he waiting for the boiling water to cool down?

A few minutes later, the sound of Chabashira-sensei's high heels hitting the floor could be heard.

Then, the door was opened, but due to Chabashira-sensei's special instructions, Horikita was sitting on the sofa at the moment, and her line of sight could not see this side.

Chabashira-sensei waited for Ayanokouji to brew the tea and add milk and sugar before he glared at the two of them.

Then he placed the two cups of brewed black tea on the back of the clipboard he had taken earlier and carried them out.

Well, if the suit is replaced by a maid outfit and the clipboard is replaced by a tray...

I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it, all the monsters and demons please get out of my brain!

Chapter 42 makes sense!

After watching Chabashira-sensei really bring out two cups of black tea from the tea room nearby, Horikita Suzune was speechless. Are you serious? Why are you really drinking tea?

However, even though she thought so, Horikita Suzune still picked up the cup of black tea in front of her. Judging from the color, milk should have been added to it.

And when I touch the edge of the teacup with my hand, it doesn't feel hot, so is it safe to drink directly from?

At this moment, she just wanted to ask the question that had been bothering her for the past few days. She was very anxious, but the other party didn't seem to intend to tell her if she didn't drink.

Then take a sip, so Horikita Suzune put the teacup to her lips and took a sip.

Delicious!

Although she didn't know much about the tea ceremony, she could still taste the excellence of this cup of tea, which was better than what she had tasted in other shops.

However, is this really the kind of tea that this nearly 30-year-old single teacher can make? If he has this skill, opening a shop outside the school should make more money than being a teacher, right?

"Horikita, your eyes are very rude."

Chabashira also picked up the teacup and took a sip. She was no less surprised than Horikita. Who on earth is this Ayanokouji? How come he even knows the tea ceremony?

Another person who felt the same way was Shuichi Kanda who was in the tea room.

To be honest, Hidekazu Kanda is not very used to Japanese tea. It is made by grinding tea leaves into powder and then brewing it, which is not something I am used to the moment I hear it.

So he was just planning to give it a try, but he was pleasantly surprised.

Milk makes brewed black tea smoother, while sugar neutralizes the bitterness of the tea.

Although he still preferred the jasmine tea he had drunk before, which had a slightly bitter taste in its fragrance, he had to admit that this cup of tea was very good.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is good at this!

"Well, Horikita, we've had our tea, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Speaking of Horikita, Kanda Shuichi felt that this girl's appearance was very similar to the heroine of the popular light novels in the past few years. On the surface, she had long black hair and an unapproachable aura.

By the way, the classmate Ichinose whom I met today is very much like the loser in light novels, the kind of poor guy who is excellent in all aspects but will lose in the end for no apparent reason.

"I'll be frank. Why was I assigned to Class D?" Horikita said this. The elegance she had when she was drinking tea just now was completely gone, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction. "Teacher, you said today that excellent people will be selected into Class A in order, and Class D is the last bastion of the last rank in the school, but I don't think I'm the same as those guys."

When he heard these words in the tea room, Shuichi Kanda silently put down the teacup in his hand.

Sorry, light novel heroines, I was wrong. This guy is different from you. He is at most a supporting role.

I'm sorry, Ichinose-san, this is the punishment I got for framing you behind your back. Please forgive me!

But Horikita should have wanted to ask Chabashira-sensei these questions last Friday, right? But because Hirata was going to announce the solution to the point dilemma, and it was Friday, this guy had to endure it for three days... No, today is Monday, so it's four days?

Well, it’s been pretty hard. I couldn’t even have a happy weekend. How pitiful.

While rapidly thinking about this, Kanda Shuichi's expression relaxed as he picked up the less than half remaining cup of tea.

"You look unconvinced. You think you are very good."

"Of course!" This was the affirmation from Horikita Suzune, but it almost made Kanda Hideichi, who was hiding in the tea room, spit out the tea in his mouth.

Girl, do you have any misunderstandings about excellence?

Wake up! The student council president, Horikita, is excellent, not you, Horikita.

"I'm confident that I've solved almost all the questions on the entrance exam, and I don't remember making any major mistakes during the interview. At least I can't imagine being assigned to Class D."

The girl continued to express her dissatisfaction in front of Chabashira Sensei.

"I see. Originally, the results of the entrance exam cannot be shown to others, but since you said so, I'll make an exception. I happen to have your test paper here."

Liar!

There are so many coincidences. Chabashira-sensei, you are not a good person! And you must have known that Horikita would come, right?

That's true, and everything was ready last Friday, but Horikita didn't show up, so Chabashira felt regretful for a long time.

Just today, during the morning meeting, Horikita sent a message to Chabashira, saying that she had something to ask and hoped that she could spare some time after school.

"You've prepared so well. You must have expected me to bring up this topic."

"After all, I am a teacher, so I have a certain understanding of the students' personalities. It is not difficult to predict what they will do next."

You are lying again. Why didn't you expect that I would actually come to make tea for you?

"Horikita Suzune, you tied for third place among this year's first-year students in the entrance exam, and your score was almost the same as the first and second place. There were indeed no issues of particular concern during the interview, and all the interviewers gave you very good evaluations."

So but what?

"Thank you, then--why?"

……

Horikita Suzune, why don't you play by the rules?

"Before this, why were you dissatisfied with being in Class D?"

“No one would be happy if they were not evaluated correctly. Moreover, this school will have a huge impact on the future depending on the class differences, so it is natural to feel dissatisfied about this.”

"A correct evaluation? Hahahaha, you think really highly of yourself."

After hearing what Horikita Suzune said, Chabashira Sensei seemed to have thought of something and laughed to himself, as if he was mocking Horikita Suzune's naivety.

In the tea room, Shuichi Kanda put down the tea he had already drunk, took out his mobile phone and started typing.

[Has Chabashira ever met a student like Horikita before? He has such a good grasp on her.]

Seeing what Kanda Shuichi typed out, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also made the same reply.

[How would I know this?]

Wouldn't you agree with me? Maybe, maybe, you won't be able to make friends this way, Ayanokouji-san.

However, Ayanokouji's fingers did not stop, and seemed to be still typing something.

【Maybe she was like this before? 】

Looking at the words typed by Ayanokouji, Kanda Hideichi was stunned.

【That makes sense! 】

Chapter 43: Ayanokouji said he wanted to drop out of school

Kanda Shuichi and Ayanokouji think they have discovered a big secret about Chabashi Sae, maybe they can take this opportunity to blackmail her?

If Chabashira-sensei was the same as Horikita Suzune in the past, then that experience should be her dark history, right?

Mr. Chabashira, you don't want your dark history to be known by the students in your class, right?

Just as Kanda Shuichi was daydreaming, the voice of Chabashira Sensei continued to be heard from outside.

"Your academic ability is excellent, I will admit that. But who says that people with excellent academic ability can enter excellent classes? We have never said this once."

"It's - it's common sense in society."

Common sense, are you living in the ancient feudal society where people became officials through the imperial examination system?

"Common sense? That's ridiculous common sense. Being good at studying is indeed one of the abilities. But the purpose of this school is to create truly outstanding people. If you think you can be assigned to a class just because you are good at studying, you are totally wrong."

"Also, if you believe that academic performance is the key to success, then people like Kouenji, Yukimura, and Hirata shouldn't be in Class D. People like Sudo probably wouldn't even be accepted by the school."

Teacher Chabashira was so sincere in her advice. She first mentioned a few people whose learning abilities were similar to or even better than hers, and pointed out that if you were really assigned to the wrong class, then you were not the only one. They didn't protest, so what right do you have to protest?

Then he brought up Sudo and his other poor students, who had extremely low academic abilities, to show that school admissions were not as simple as they seemed.

"This one……"
