Sakamuro Takeru immediately took his notification letter, opened it, and walked towards the front row of the classroom.
“Dear Mr. Jun Matsuoka—” His expressive voice was interrupted.
"Did you add this sentence yourself?"
The boys behind him started making sarcastic remarks, which drew laughter from the surrounding area.
The tall, athletic student coughed twice and continued reciting:
"You have passed the entrance examination for the University of Tokyo in 1959. This is to inform you..."
Another cheer erupted.
"Therefore, please complete the enrollment procedures as soon as possible before March 15th, following the instructions in the 'Enrollment Procedure Guidelines' that will be known on the day of the exam. Also..."
Behind Ken Sakamuro were other students who were making a fuss. They began to circle the podium. Listening to the loud announcements coming from the front row, Jun Matsueda reluctantly looked away and gazed at the sky outside the window.
The sky I saw while sitting in the classroom after a long time was a welcome sight. It swept away the gloom and heaviness of winter exam preparation, and the light clouds allowed the bright sunlight to shine through, making me feel relaxed and happy.
The boy took a pen out of his bag and nimbly twirled it in his hand.
Although he had already decided to head straight for university life without looking back, sitting at this desk and looking at the familiar, noisy classroom, he still felt a little nostalgic.
"It feels wonderful, doesn't it?"
Jun Matsue turned his head amidst the noisy commotion.
Tomatsu Yuka rested her arms on the desk as she usually did in class, turning her head to look at him with a smile.
"When you say goodbye, even things that you used to find ordinary suddenly become pleasing to the eye."
“...That’s right.” The boy smiled.
"Where are your aunt and uncle? Didn't you say they were coming?"
The girl pointed to the view outside the window with her index finger.
"I had already seen Chunjun before he arrived. There was no need for the parents to stay in the teaching building for long, so they went to the auditorium."
I wonder if I'll run into my senior and grandma on the way... Jun Matsueda blinked.
"What about Xiaoyao?"
"Wangyue was called out by her aunt."
Just as they were talking, Mochizuki Haruka walked in through the back door—the girl glanced at the two people in their seats, then returned to her seat by the window.
The boy's gaze followed her as she walked over. "Where's my aunt?"
"She left with the principal and will be sitting in the first row at the graduation ceremony."
Wang Yueyao said, looking at the row in front.
"Shouldn't you return Jinzhi to me now?"
"Here you are~" The hot girl Rion walked to the back row with her golden cat in her arms.
"Jinzhi is so cute! I'm going to get a cat when I live alone in the future!"
"It has to be a short-haired cat!" exclaimed her sexy companion in the front row. "Long-haired cats are such a hassle to groom..."
The girl ignored their conversation, simply taking her kitten and carefully grooming its ruffled fur.
Matsueda Jun looked at her and smiled, "Xiaoyao usually ignores Jinzhi, but she actually likes it quite a bit."
"This is mine." Mochizuki Haruka hugged the cat and glared at him.
the same as you.
Kominato Shoko walked into the classroom a few minutes later, and the class quieted down a little slower than usual.
"Hello everyone, it's been a long time. First of all, congratulations on finally making it to graduation day."
Sitting in the back row, Jun Matsue smiled along with everyone else, but his gaze was quickly drawn to the figure outside the window.
Natsumi Imokawa's parents happened to walk past the classroom; they must have just dropped their daughter off and were heading to the auditorium.
Noticing the man's gaze, Imokawa Remi, wearing sunglasses, smiled and raised her hand at him—she even pulled her husband to stop, and the two chatted for a few words by the window before disappearing at the other end of the corridor.
Hmm... Jun Matsueda's gaze passed through the walls of the teaching building and looked towards the location of the auditorium outside.
There seem to be quite a few parents I'm going to meet later...
Chapter 882 Career Summary
At 10:20 a.m., Class 6 of Grade 3, led by their homeroom teacher, headed to the auditorium. Jun Matsue and Ken Sakamuro, the tallest student, walked at the back of the line, watching as the group walked out of the school building and joined the other classes.
"So Songzhi has already gotten his driver's license?"
"..." The boy took out his wallet from his pocket. "Do you want to see it too?"
Ken Sakamuro unceremoniously took his driver's license and examined it from all angles in the sunlight.
"The photos look really cool—he's even wearing a proper suit, and he looks like a grown-up all of a sudden."
"I just got my driver's license," Jun Matsueda waved his hand.
"If that's the case, Sakamuro could also become an adult in two weeks."
"Two weeks is still too long!" Ken Sakamuro grinned, revealing bright white teeth that didn't match his skin tone.
"I just got back from my graduation trip, and in a couple of days I'll be training with my university seniors."
The boy looked towards the auditorium where a crowd had gathered in the distance. "Sakamuro ended up going to a private school, right?"
"Kukugakuin University Sports and Health Department!"
"I know them. Their athletic ability seems pretty good—I saw their team during the Hakone Ekiden this year."
"Of course!" Ken Sakamuro pumped his fist. "That's why I need to adapt to the intensity of university training as soon as possible and strive to become a key player!"
"Driver's license and stuff, well, you don't really have a car to drive now that you've got one, right?"
"..."
As Jun Matsueda stepped onto the steps in front of the auditorium, his silence surprised Sakamuro, who turned his head around.
"Has Songzhi already been loaded into the car?"
"I drove here today." The boy walked into the auditorium—the light dimmed for a moment, then brightened softly again.
"It's not my car, it belongs to Xiaoyao."
Ken Sakamuro's eyes widened even more. "You guys are moving way too fast!"
He quickened his pace to catch up with the students looking for seats, turning his head to ask in a low voice.
"What's going on? Are you planning to marry into my family?"
“Not really.” Jun Matsueda looked up—the girls not far away were looking over, waiting for him to sit down.
"But from now on, Xiaoyao and I will definitely be a family."
Ken Sakamuro pulled him back again, "What about Tomatsu?"
"We're family—but we can speak two different languages, it's that simple."
Before Sakamuro could continue speaking, the boy walked to his seat first—the graduates' seating area was in the front row of the attending relatives, and they would be watched by many parents on the way.
Jun Matsue found the dean at a glance.
It wasn't because Grandma's silver hair stood out in the family section, but because Miss Idol was standing next to her, waving her right hand cheerfully.
The senior student was sitting on the other side of the dean. She didn't greet him, but just turned around and smiled at the boy.
"Kurasu has arrived too..." Matsueda Junya smiled and waved.
The parents of the same class mostly sat together, and Tomatsu Yuka's parents sat in front of the dean—but the two were chatting and didn't notice the boy walking by.
Akira Imokawa and his wife sat a little further forward, with the man's seat right next to the aisle, making it easy for him to stop his daughter's boyfriend.
"Matsue, Natsumi said you'd be giving the opening address as the representative this year?"
"Yes."
Jun Matsue nodded, and Remi Imokawa, who was standing next to him, took off his sunglasses and was smiling at him.
"Matsueda-kun, you'd better do your best~ I'm an expert when it comes to giving speeches on stage, and my standards are very high."
After all, he was a host... so the boy could only blink obediently.
"I'm just sharing my thoughts on graduation; I won't say anything fancy, and it might not satisfy you."
“That’s good.” Mr. Imokawa patted his arm.
"You're graduating soon, remember to take lots of photos with Xia Shi today!"
Matsueda Jun realized something and looked up—Imokawa Natsumi was at the other end of this row of seats, standing in the aisle, waving with her mini camera in hand.
As he walked around to the other side of the audience, the girl's lovely blush became clear in his eyes.
Why isn't Imokawa in his class?
"I'll be there in a bit~" Natsumi Imokawa smiled, her eyes filled with undisguised enthusiasm.
"I was just setting up the camera—I'll be filming you all when you go on stage to speak later!"
"Then I'll have to trouble Imokawa." The boy winked ingratiatingly, "Remember to take good pictures of me."
"of course!"
After walking and stopping for a while, Jun Matsue finally returned to his class—Tomoka Tomatsu and Haruka Mochizuki had been waiting for his seat for quite some time. The girls lowered their arms and watched the boy sit down.
"Are you very busy?" Mochizuki Haruka said, raising her eyebrows.
"There's nothing I can do about it." The boy patted the stand-up collar of his uniform. "Actually, I'm quite popular with the elders."
The girl gave a soft humph, "Look ahead for yourself."
Jun Matsue looked ahead—
Wang Yuehua was sitting in the first row and was turning her head to look in their direction.
Today, Auntie was wearing a formal little suit. When she noticed that Jun Matsue had noticed her, she stretched out her right hand and poked the boy's eyes with two fingers.
"I'm watching you," the woman said through gestures.
Before anyone else noticed her strange behavior, Mochizuki gave the boy a fierce look before turning away.
“They’re eyeing us like tigers…” Tomatsu Yuka said with a smile.
"When Tsun-kun is speaking later, will Miss Hua kick him off the stage?"
“She would never do such a thing,” Mochizuki Haruka interjected.
Although she said that, she still glanced at her aunt in the front row, then looked down and took out her phone to send a message.
Jun Matsuoka smiled and looked at the lights that were shining on the stage in front of him.
Faint murmurs came from the back of the hall—the first and second year students entered the auditorium, and the graduation ceremony was about to officially begin.
"Are you free after the graduation ceremony?" Tomatsu Yuka asked in his ear.
"My parents want to talk to you about college and roommates."
"No problem." The boy nodded.
"After we leave the auditorium, I'll go find them with you."
"Thank you for your help, Jun-kun~" The girl grasped his arm and shook it affectionately.
Given their current public relationship, she shouldn't do this, but since the chair back provides some cover, it doesn't matter if she's a little reckless.
A few minutes later, the lights in the audience seats dimmed, just enough to outline the silhouettes of the people. The hall quickly and silently fell silent, awaiting the start of the graduation ceremony.
It was as if someone had opened a bag of light, and the stage suddenly became exceptionally bright. The smooth wooden floor reflected the circular lights on the ceiling, which were quickly covered by the girls' skirts.
The members of the wind band stood in the center of the stage, holding ornate and elaborate gold instruments, while the school's string orchestra stood on either side.
"Are you going to play the school song?" Jun Matsueda looked to his side.
"It's a pity that Youhua didn't go up; otherwise, she would definitely have amazed the audience."
"Never mind~" the girl said with a smile and waved her hand.
"My role today is that of a 'senior receiving blessings,' so I can't steal the spotlight from my juniors~"
