On August 6th, Tokyo University’s summer vacation this year will end in just one morning. During lunch break, students can even leave school and go out for a meal to celebrate the holiday.
On the last day, there were no classes. There were only academic assignments and reminders of precautions given by each teacher to different classes and student groups.
Every time a teacher comes to the classroom to give final instructions, it means that summer vacation is one step closer.
"Summer vacation is coming soon."
Although Miyazaki Yuta felt that Kurosawa Hikaru was a little strange yesterday, he didn't care too much and still sat with him.
Maybe there is no such thing as campus bullying in college, but after being admitted to the University of Tokyo for more than a year, everyone’s groups are basically fixed.
People who are used to being alone will still go their own way.
As for those who like to act with others, they also have their own small circles.
"yes."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded and watched a teacher leave, with some estimation in his mind.
"Why aren't you excited at all?"
Seeing his indifferent reaction, Yuta Miyazaki really didn't understand.
Even students from the University of Tokyo would be happy about the holidays.
Rather, it would be absolutely abnormal if some students were not happy at all about the holidays.
"Yeah, it's summer vacation."
Kurosawa Hikaru found that he was looking forward to his reaction, so he simply used his entry-level acting skills and cheered.
"never mind."
Seeing his reaction, because the difference between before and after was so huge, Miyazaki Yuta didn't force him to be as excited as himself.
After all, he was so excited because he could go on a date with the girl who had added him during the summer vacation.
"Da da da."
Just then, a faint sound of high heels came from outside the classroom.
Hearing this voice, Kurosawa Mitsuru's expression suddenly became more serious.
Sure enough, just as he heard, the next person to walk into the classroom was Ninomiya Chizuru.
She was still wearing the standard OL uniform of a white shirt, a black hip skirt, and black tights, just like before.
If it is winter, she will also wear a women's suit on the outside.
With her arrival, everyone's chatter in the classroom came to an abrupt halt and everyone looked at him.
“Tatttatt.”
No longer outdoors, but indoors, the sound of her walking in high heels was very crisp and pleasant as she walked all the way to the podium.
"Today is the time for summer vacation. I believe that all of you students are already impatient, but please be patient and listen to me for a few more words."
"The results of the final exam have been notified to each student through mobile phone notifications and distribution. Students who failed the course will need to take make-up classes during the summer vacation. I believe you are all aware of this."
“Also, even during summer vacation, please remember that you are students of the University of Tokyo and do not do anything that violates the school spirit and rules.”
"yes."
Hearing her clear and melodious voice, the students responded very positively.
Facing everyone's love, Ninomiya Chizuru looked around the classroom and said:
"Finally, I have one more thing to inform the students of the Ninomiya Group."
"Starting from next semester, the students in the Ninomiya group will be accepted by other teachers' groups during the summer vacation. By then, you will have new teachers and join the new group."
"???"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Ninomiya Chizuru on the stage with some astonishment.
"Why are students from the Ninomiya group assigned to other groups?"
At the same time, Miyazaki Yuta couldn't help it anymore.
Chizuru Ninomiya is not only the teacher of Kurosawa Hikaru, but also his teacher.
That's why they become friends, after all, people in the same group sometimes have to work on big assignments together.
"Because starting from noon, when you have your summer vacation, I will officially quit my job as a teacher."
In response to this question, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at him, glanced at Kurosawa Hikaru without leaving a trace, and said calmly.
Once these words were spoken, not only the students in the Ninomiya group, but all the students in the class were unhappy.
This sentence was like a bomb, thrown out suddenly, blowing up everyone.
"No way? You don't want to be a teacher anymore?"
"Mr. Ninomiya, why?"
"What on earth happened?"
“No.”
"Please continue to be a teacher."
Regardless of gender, everyone loves Chizuru Ninomiya very much and is eager to keep her.
Because who wouldn’t like such a beautiful teacher
Moreover, the content of her lectures is also very good. Although she is not as professional as the professor, it is very comfortable to see her in the first class every Monday when I arrive at school.
"Please be quiet."
Faced with everyone's attempts to keep her, Ninomiya Chizuru felt a little touched, but after fiddling with her hair, she remained calm and tapped the podium lightly with her hand.
Realizing that she had something to say, everyone quieted down despite the excitement.
"I have already decided to resign. I had a formal discussion with the school yesterday and it has been finalized. This matter is irreversible. I hope you all understand."
Ninomiya Chizuru stood on the podium, facing everyone, and explained.
"Mr. Ninomiya, why do you want to resign?"
One girl couldn't help but stand up and asked excitedly.
As a girl, it is an inspiration for her to see such an excellent role model in Ninomiya Sensei.
"I won't go into detail about the reasons for my resignation. There are many factors. Anyway, from today on, I will no longer be a teacher at the University of Tokyo."
Seeing her face, Ninomiya Chizuru paused, then announced firmly and resolutely.
"ah… "
Realizing that the matter was done and irreversible, everyone sighed.
Everyone was happy because summer vacation was about to start, but we didn't expect to hear such bad news before leaving school.
Ignoring everyone's sighs, after the official announcement, Ninomiya Chizuru's eyes fell on Kurosawa Hikaru and explained:
"If you see me outside of school in the future, you can call me Ninomiya-senpai or Ninomiya-senpai. After all, I also graduated from the University of Tokyo, so I am your senior."
Her gaze was direct, and the underlying message might not be understood by others, but Kurosawa Hikaru understood it.
Her eyes seemed to say, "I won't wait for those two and a half years. Now I am Ninomiya-senpai. From today on, there will no longer be any separation or restriction between us as a teacher and a student."
"Why is she so impulsive..."
Faced with this situation, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised, but more helpless.
He didn't see Miss Ninomiya the whole day yesterday, nor did he receive any message from her. He could sense that she was definitely planning something big.
But what he never expected was that the ultimate move she had was so terrifying.
Although this is what Ninomiya Chizuru said, no one accepted it at all.
"How can that be possible? Once a teacher, always a teacher."
"No matter where I see you, I will still call you teacher."
"That's right."
Japanese people respect teachers and education very much. Teachers have a very high status in society and are paid even better than civil servants.
Normally they are respectfully addressed as "sir", teachers at the University of Tokyo, and are even on par with members of parliament, enjoying treatment that is above the national level.
As long as you wear a teacher badge, if you take the bus, the elderly will give you seats, and there are special seats for teachers on the tram. If you go shopping, as long as you can prove that you are a teacher, you can also enjoy extremely high discounts.
Because in the eyes of the Japanese, teachers are a profession that makes great sacrifices for society and is therefore extremely sacred.
This is not only true for teachers in schools, but also for teachers who open temples and teach the Dharma.
Sato Shinichi's social status is extremely high and he has a terrifying appeal. After all, he has disciples all over the world.
As for Kurosawa Mitsuru, he doesn't have such harsh thoughts, because even though he has lived in this land for twenty years, his ideas and concepts are still fundamentally different from those of the Japanese.
"this… "
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic attitude, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was originally staring at Kurosawa Hikaru, suddenly froze.
To be honest, she would rather everyone not call her teacher when they see her in the future, or even forget about it.
In this way, when others see her and Kurosawa together in the future, they will not think that they used to be teacher and student.
Otherwise, she would never be able to hold her head high and feel at peace with herself in her life.
“Thank you for your love and I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable summer vacation.”
Ninomiya Chizuru took a deep breath, took two steps away from the podium, bowed to all the students, then turned and left, not daring to stay any longer.
In full view of everyone, she quickly walked out and left everyone's sight.
"How could this happen? Why did Mr. Ninomiya suddenly resign?"
Miyazaki Yuta, who had been smiling because summer vacation was approaching, watched her leave and his mood suddenly plummeted.
This is too sudden... Normally, Japanese people's careers are lifelong.
If one has been a teacher for a lifetime, there will even be a very formal farewell ceremony in the year of retirement, and students will be notified in advance to gather.
"Could it be that Ms. Ninomiya is planning to get married? Go home and be a housewife." Suddenly, someone guessed a possibility.
"How can I be a housewife? The job of a teacher at the University of Tokyo is so awesome."
"How is it impossible? Teacher Ninomiya is so beautiful and talented, maybe she has a boyfriend with a prominent family background and is planning to get married."
"How prominent can it be?"
"For example, the wealthy people of the big conglomerates, the rich men whose net worth is measured in trillions? Anyway, they are the big figures who are not convenient for people to discuss."
"Wow… "
"According to what you said, she is not going to be a housewife, but a young lady."
"really."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly felt less upset.
Although everyone is reluctant, they have no right to stop Mr. Ninomiya from pursuing a better life.
"Kurosawa, you've been in a very depressed mood these past two days. Could it be that you already knew about this? After all, you have a pretty good relationship with your teacher, and she even had a private talk with you a few days ago."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Miyazaki Yuta turned his head to look at Kurosawa Mitsuru next to him, and found that his reaction was very calm, so he asked.
"No, I just found out about it too."
In response to this question, Kurosawa Mitsuru spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
He really didn't expect that his words would stimulate Miss Ninomiya to choose to resign and make up her mind not to be a teacher anymore.
Is she too smart and guessed the situation on the day of the Kyudo Competition? Is she anxious because of the sense of crisis
