The only thing I resent is that naive and weak self!
Shizuka Hiratsuka covered her forehead with a headache, sighed helplessly, and looked viciously at Haruno who looked like it was none of her business.
"Alas, Hikigaya, I still say the same thing. You did nothing wrong in this matter. Although your approach was a bit...too extreme, it was definitely not your fault. Rather, if it weren't for you, this mistake might not have been corrected for a long time, and even more victims would have been created."
At the same time, Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed silently in her heart. If she had discovered it earlier, there would have been a better solution, and things would not have become completely out of control. She would not have let you... get to this point. It's all my fault, teacher.
Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and rubbed Hikigaya's head, comforting him: "Hikigaya, don't you often say that everything has two sides? Look at it from another perspective. If that incident hadn't happened, we wouldn't have met again in this high school, right?"
According to normal development, Hikigaya would go to high school, Hiratsuka Shizuka would still stay in junior high school to teach, and their relationship would gradually become colder. However, that unexpected incident changed the fate of the two. Sometimes Hiratsuka Shizuka would feel incredible about their inexplicable teacher-student relationship. Fate is really wonderful.
No matter how Hiratsuka Shizuka tried to comfort him, Hikigaya kept his head down and didn't respond. Seeing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She pinched Hikigaya's face with both hands and said unhappily, "Hey, Hikigaya, you don't really think the teacher resigned because of you, do you? Little boys of your age are really troublesome and too self-conscious!"
"Use your stupid brain to think about it. If that were true, there's no way I'd be in this school!"
"Then why......"
“It’s a rotation system.”
Teacher Jing explained unhappily, "If I don't want to leave, those people back home... no one can do anything about it, understand? This is a regular rotation, and I applied for it myself. Otherwise, do you think I could be here so easily?"
"I see."
Hikigaya nodded. The teacher rotation system was indeed not uncommon. It was mainly to ensure relative fairness and balance in education. At the same time, it was not limited to the profession of teachers, but also existed in other industries and civil servants.
But then Hikigaya raised another question: "Teacher Jing is a junior high school teacher. Can she be transferred across grades? Generally speaking, the average rotation period is every six years. If a teacher graduated and started working in their 6s, then it would be about the same now..."
Hikigaya was halfway through his words when he noticed someone's 'death stare' and immediately shut up.
"It's been settled. There's no problem with the Education Committee. Anyway, I'll be a high school teacher from now on!" Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted.
Chapter 11 The Truth About Admission (I)
Hikigaya was quite skeptical about what Teacher Jing said, but he didn't show it and just kept it in mind.
"What a touching teacher-student relationship~~"
At this time, Yang No, who had been "offline", seemed to finally be "online".
"It turns out that the 'troublesome little virgin' that Xiaojing often talks about is so powerful. I never thought that the instigator of that incident was Hikigaya-kun. You really bring me too many surprises~~" Yang No said with a smile.
Hikigaya's face was filled with black lines: "Troublesome little virgin? You didn't add this yourself, did you?!"
"Okay, I admit that I added a little bit of personal subjective factors." Yang No shrugged and admitted it, but there was no expression of admitting fault on her face. At the same time, Shizuka Hiratsuka on the side was also laughing.
Yang No was naturally aware of the scandal that occurred among the second-year students of Sobu Junior High School. Although it appeared to be just a case of student bullying, it actually unexpectedly involved a lot of dirty things.
However, because the impact of this incident was so great, even her mother was very concerned, so the school and some people restricted and kept some of the information confidential. Like most ordinary people, Yang Nai only knew some of the information revealed on the surface.
"Tsk tsk, not only did they get rid of a vice principal, but they also made the dean and several teachers publicly apologize in front of the entire school, and then all of them got kicked out. It was really...very exciting and thrilling!"
This is the information Yang Nai could learn. As for the deeper inside story, she didn't know it, but she knew that many people had suffered bad luck because of this incident.
Hikigaya: "......"
Hiratsuka Shizuka showed a rare serious expression at this time: "Yonori, this matter has passed, let's not talk about it again! Even your mother wouldn't want this matter to be spread everywhere!"
"Cut~"
When Teacher Jing mentioned Yang Nai's mother, her face changed color visibly, and then she looked dissatisfied: "What? Xiao Jing, you have a new love and you don't want to love your old love? You are such a bad woman!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka's face was filled with black lines. She tapped Haruno's forehead and warned, "Don't talk nonsense! And Yukinoshita-san, please be careful with your words and addresses. In school, we are teacher and student."
"Okay, Teacher Jing~" Yang Nai said in a deliberately coquettish voice.
As for Hikigaya, he acted like he didn't hear anything.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was a little troubled by the two students in front of her. One was eccentric and very scheming, while the other was a lonely and stubborn kid. Neither of them was a student that could make her worry-free, but they happened to be the students with whom she had the closest relationship.
"I have some miscellaneous things here that need help. Do you want to stay?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said to Haruno.
"I have something else to do..." Hikigaya said quickly.
"You kid, stay here!"
Hikigaya was interrupted by Shizuka Hiratsuka just when he was halfway through his words. He wanted to speak more but Shizuka Hiratsuka glared back at him fiercely, and he couldn't help but make a bitter face.
"Haha, then I'll leave." Yang Nai deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied: "But Xiao Jing clearly made an appointment to have dinner together~~"
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, that's okay, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said helplessly.
"Great! Then Xiaojing, don't break the appointment, and be sure to pay attention to safety~" After saying that, Yang Nai slipped away so quickly that he could no longer be seen.
"What a kid!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka naturally understood what the other party meant, and barely resisted the urge to rush out and teach the little girl a lesson.
"Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention."
Haruno's head suddenly popped out from the doorway again, and she smiled and winked at Hikigaya: "Hikigaya-kun, did you know about the club recruitment being held at the gym this evening? I'll be waiting for you there, so remember to come~"
"Wait! Why..."
Hikigaya's face froze, but before he could finish his words, Haruno had already disappeared, leaving Hikigaya no reason to refuse.
......
In the blink of an eye, only Hikigaya and Hiratsuka Shizuka were left alone in the guidance room.
"Teacher Jing, I have questions about the truth about this school..."
Just as Hikigaya was about to speak, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have guessed what was going on and spoke first: "I know what you want to ask, but I'm sorry, as a teacher, I must abide by the rules and regulations regarding the deeper intelligence and information of this school and cannot explain it to you."
Having said that, Hiratsuka Shizuka's answer is actually equivalent to an 'answer'.
“Sure enough, there’s something seriously wrong with this school.”
In fact, Hiratsuka Shizuka's "performance" in class today has indirectly confirmed many of Hikigaya's inner speculations. Faced with the poor classroom discipline of Class D, Teacher Shizuka would never sit idly by under normal circumstances, but Teacher Shizuka still turned a blind eye. There must be some special reason for this.
Shizuka Hiratsuka saw all of Hikigaya's expressions and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the child's talent. She didn't expect that he could discover the truth about this school so quickly. Is it true that when God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you?
Alas...it's a pity that this child has a mental illness.
Hikigaya didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. Although he still had doubts about this school, he didn't want to make things difficult for Teacher Jing.
Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Hikigaya suddenly fall silent. A trace of self-blame flashed across her face, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes. Then she sighed and said, "Actually, there is something that I must apologize to you for, Sensei."
"Actually, the reason you came to this school was all arranged and facilitated by me, the teacher."
"Well, I see."
"Alas, this matter is my fault. I acted without permission..." Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment, only to see Hikigaya opposite with a calm face, without any emotional fluctuations at all.
"Eh? Aren't you surprised or angry?"
Originally, Hiratsuka Shizuka had already made preparations for the 'worst case scenario' and had sent Haruno away for this very reason, but she had never expected this to be the outcome.
"Well, how should I put it, actually... I already knew it a long time ago." Hikigaya said hesitantly.
After a few seconds of silence, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly slapped her thigh.
"Well, then my worries were in vain?"
The nervous expression on Shizuka Hiratsuka's face disappeared. Relieved, she skillfully took out a pack of SIXSTARS women's cigarettes from her pocket. Not caring about the presence of Hikigaya in front of her, she crossed her legs on the seat and began to smoke on her own. In the blink of an eye, she turned back into the bad female teacher that Hikigaya was most familiar with.
"Hey, this is in school! And we're indoors, can't you be more careful? If someone finds out, your salary will be deducted!" Hikigaya complained as he walked to the window and opened the windows on the other two sides for ventilation, and handed the ashtray not far away to someone.
"Wouldn't it be better if we weren't discovered?" Teacher Jing muttered softly.
"Haha, I wonder who can trigger the smoke sensor twice in one day?" Hikigaya said expressionlessly.
"It was just an accident, an accident! Also, this is the guidance room assigned to me by the school. It's lunch time now, so no one will find out. Don't worry." Shizuka Hiratsuka patted her chest and promised solemnly.
Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned sideways on the desk, one hand supporting her chin and the other holding a cigarette. She looked carefree and didn't seem to have any labels like "mature woman" or "teacher" on her.
"Then tell me how you knew it was me who arranged it?"
"It was an accident, actually. It was just unfortunate... I'm a low-profile person at home, and by chance, I overheard a conversation between my mom and a teacher about this school. But at the time, I didn't pay much attention or suspect anything."
Hikigaya recalled the situation at that time. It should have been the second day of the new year. Hikigaya didn't care too much at the time. He even thought that he could be admitted to the high school department of Sobu. It was not until he learned that he was going to school in Tokyo that he realized something was wrong.
"Actually, I was skeptical until yesterday. But after seeing the situation of my 'classmates' today, this suspicion has reached nearly 90%. The teacher's appearance is just the last nail in the wall." Hikigaya said calmly.
"Ever since I accidentally discovered the truth about this school, I've had a huge question." Hikigaya paused and sighed, "How on earth did someone like me manage to pass the entrance exam and get into this school?"
Chapter 12: The Truth About Admission (Part 2)
How did Hikigaya pass the entrance exam for Koukou Ikuei High School? This is what puzzles him the most!
Although Hikigaya obeyed his mother's request to go to school in Tokyo, he was actually very reluctant to leave Chiba and his sister. So when faced with the written test questions in the entrance examination of Koukou Ikusei High School, Hikigaya completely gave up.
For the multiple-choice questions, he chose the shortest among three longs and one short, and the longest among three shorts and one long. He also filled in the answers randomly for the essay questions. When facing the examiner for the interview, Hikigaya also told the truth.
Interviewer: "As we all know, our school is famous for its nearly 100% admission rate and employment rate. As a result, many well-known people from all walks of life have emerged. What are your career plans or life ideals?
Do you want to go to Tokyo University and enter Akamon? Or join the professional league and become a professional player? Enter the entertainment industry and become a singer or actor? Or do you want to join a Fortune 100 company and become a professional elite?
Hikigaya: "My ideal is to be a househusband."
"Housewife...housewife? Is this a newly emerging profession like VTB? It's a very innovative idea, and it also responds well to the initiatives to improve women's status and the new employment trends among men. So, please tell us why you chose our school."
"So that I can become a househusband after graduation."
"Hmm... I didn't expect this classmate, at such a young age, to be so willing to give in... His desire to be a stay-at-home husband is so strong, he must have a deep understanding of marriage. I see, with Japan's declining birthrate, getting married and having children early is a good option and a way to contribute to society."
"Get married? You don't have to get married, as long as I have a sister."
"???"
The interviewer straightened his collar and looked calm.
"Ahem! Our school's philosophy has always been to cultivate outstanding individuals who contribute to society... so we prioritize students' attention to and reflections on current news and information. We're interested in topics like livelihood, politics, culture, and entertainment. After all, we can gain a multifaceted understanding of students' situations, avoiding a one-sided and incomplete picture. So, please share your thoughts and opinions on these issues."
Maybe it was Hikigaya's illusion, but the interviewer seemed to emphasize certain words.
"I'm personally more concerned about civil law issues."
The interviewer's eyes finally lit up when he heard this.
"Oh? Hikigaya-san's perspective is very unique. This is one of the most pressing social issues right now. Please share your thoughts."
"What I care about most is when the marriage law can be amended."
"Ha, ha ha... classmate, are the areas you're focusing on a little bit, um... how should I put it, very different from ordinary people? The current issue of young people's marriage values is indeed worthy of in-depth thinking and research, but young people's thinking is a little radical. Can you understand that, understand?" The interviewer took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Okay, then. Next is the last question. Don't be too nervous, this is a relatively simple and easy question. Please talk about your summary of your junior high school years and your aspirations for future high school life."
This time, Hikigaya fell into silence for a rare time, as if he was lost in some memories, and then his face suddenly showed an extremely serious and solemn expression. Seeing this, the interviewer opposite him couldn't help but sit up straight, subconsciously holding his breath waiting for Hikigaya's answer.
"I discovered that the multiverse and parallel world lines really exist!"
"Okay, we're very happy that you, Hikigaya, have interviewed with us. We were very impressed by your understanding of our school and your performance. If you are accepted, we will contact you as soon as possible."
The interviewer spoke at a rapid pace, using a set of skilled workplace rhetoric. Before Hikigaya could react, he had already packed up his things, stormed out the door, and disappeared.
Hikigaya couldn't suppress the smile on his face anymore, and the next day he received an expedited acceptance letter. Was this still the familiar Japanese speed?!
"So, even though I've already achieved this, I was still successfully admitted to this school. This is simply incredible!" When he said this, Hikigaya couldn't help but take a breath.
"Hahaha!!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned for a while, and then finally couldn't help laughing.
"What the hell is going on here! Hikigaya, you're so, so... humorous! Hahahaha!!!"
Compared to Hiratsuka Shizuka's gloating, Hikigaya had an expression of despair, which shows how devastated he was when he received the admission letter!
This is too outrageous!
Teacher Jing suppressed her laughter and asked curiously, "What happened next?"
Hikigaya looked across at the woman who had instigated this, and couldn't help but complain, "After that? Of course, I came to this school honestly, and then on the first day, I was late... and unexpectedly ran into Yukinoshita."
"Then I unexpectedly discovered the truth this school had deliberately concealed. Logically, a school with a 100% admission and employment rate should have a very strict admissions process. The number of students seeking admission should be countless. Normally, only top students with exceptional academic performance in all areas could attend."
At this point, Hikigaya sighed visibly. "So I've always been very confused about why I was able to pass the entrance exam. It wasn't until today, after seeing the terrible situation of our D class, that I realized how wrong I was. Because my ending was determined from the beginning. No matter whether my test scores were good or bad, the final result of 'enrollment' would not change. Isn't that right, teacher?"
It was not until today that Hikigaya figured out what was going on. The so-called exam was just a formality, and the admission results had already been decided. Otherwise, how could people like himself, or the idiot duo, Sudo and others be admitted to this school that countless people were vying for?
He is just an ordinary high school student with no background. His parents are not the descendants of wealthy and powerful families or illegitimate children. They are just ordinary working class people.
He...Hikigaya Hachiman, although he calls himself the 'Lone Ranger', he knows that this is just a fig leaf he found for himself. In reality, he is just an ordinary high school student.
So why was he able to enter this school that countless students were trying their best to get into?
