Episode 109. The teacher will do his best, too.
From noble mtl dot com
Well, it’s fun to see kids playing tiki-taka with each other.
Still, it’s late, so I can’t keep hanging out with the busy kids.
“So, did I say I had business?”
Originally, I was going to go back to the health room right away, but the student council president came to Weyden and just said that I have business.
Time is running out, so if you can handle it here, it would be better to take care of it and go. When I asked, Maya immediately raised her glasses and talked about her business.
“Yes, it wasn’t me to be precise, but the vice president asked me to tell him. Do you remember Malan?”
“If it’s Malan… …. Ah, you mean that skinny kid?”
Come to think of it, that kind of thing happened.
The artisan I found in the course of dealing with the incident that took place in Academic City.
The child, who took care of him for a while while facing him, wanted to announce that the repair of the item entrusted to the craftsman at the time was finished.
“For the time being, the items entrusted to the artisan are expected to arrive at the student council room tomorrow morning. If you listen to the story of the craftsman, he said that the maneuver with self-awareness was completed, but he said that he had made several safety devices in case of unexpected danger.”
“Yeah, just fixing it is useful, but you did a good job with the service.”
“Because he is the best craftsman in the city. The fact that he took on the job means that he has the confidence to solve pretty much anything. Sometimes the craftsmanship is so good that it becomes a headache.”
“…… Could it be that the reason for the service you didn’t even order was because there was a rush of that part?”
“Yes, recently, when I listened to the vice president, he said he fell into a slump again. Not too long ago, because of the window…….”
After that, Maya talks about various things about her father-in-law and the vice-president.
While I was nodding my head while listening to that, I suddenly felt the stare staring at me from the side and turned my head slightly.
Wayden was listening to Maya and me in silence.
“Oh, sorry. I was missing you.”
“No, you don’t have to worry about it. It seems like it’s important to you.”
Wayden carelessly adjusts his hat.
However, the face that was revealed afterwards was slightly stiffer than before.
“But if you listen to the story, it seems that you are trying to introduce something that was used in the terrorist attack back then into the school… ….”
“… Um, would it be difficult for the leadership team to allow it?”
“No, you don’t have to worry about that part. If it was a review, the vice president would have finished it while communicating with his father-in-law, and above all, I don’t think you would do anything that would harm this academy.”
“hehehe, thank you for trusting me.”
It means that there are many things I am grateful for, but what should I say? Seeing that the members of the leadership team relax every time they deal with me, isn’t that excessive kindness clouding their judgment? I was also worried.
But what…….
If you don’t like it, it’s probably closer to liking it. As much as I don’t think I have the qualifications as a teacher myself, I also get a lot of comfort from their kindness.
“Okay, then I’ll go to the student council room tomorrow morning. Wouldn’t it be fine before regular class time?”
“Okay, then we’ll see you then. And Wayden. Next, about what you asked for last time…….”
After finishing her story, Maya immediately turned to Weyden and talked about business.
“It must be difficult.”
“…… Is it.”
“Yes, if we can’t find the right person, we should consider sending them out of the city for a while during the school festival.”
“… Yes, we succeeded in getting them out of the campus last time, but as many people gather at the academy festival, we will have to prepare for just one situation.”
“You seem to understand, but you don’t seem to like it.”
“That’s natural. This academy aims to accept everyone regardless of nationality or race.”
“Yes, I understand that part. It’s not easy to have such a lenient attitude toward problem children, but…….”
The leader and the student council president are having a serious conversation.
I can feel the dignity and seriousness befitting my position, but I was a little worried because the atmosphere wasn’t good.
Well, I had a relationship with the leadership team in many ways, and Dale owes a lot to the student council, so I want to help if I can…….
“Director, by any chance, are you talking about the kid I know?”
As soon as I brought up a part of the topic that I was concerned about, Waden replied with a sigh of relief.
“Ah, if you think about it, the teacher will understand.”
“Yes, you must have been called Ratel, right?”
Latello Den.
A child born in a savage tribe who actually provided an opportunity to create a connection with the leader.
What I was talking about was how to treat that child. As many outsiders as well as the school district visit the academy festival, it would be difficult if it went out of control like that time.
“What happened after that day? Didn’t you run out of control again?”
“Yes, as the teacher said, he was a calm child. She just sits quietly and reads a book or engages in her hobbies unless she is specifically provoked.”
As expected.
Hey, it’s good that the clan that smashes the walls with their bare hands didn’t run rampant as soon as they entered school, but didn’t they have any other accidents until they were in their second year of middle school?
Therefore, there will be no risk of rampage in the slightest, but as it is only a ‘fair’ degree, the leading part will need to prepare.
“Unfortunately, however, when the academy festival begins, everyone in our leadership team has to focus on maintaining public order. At that time, the students in the Jingbeol-dong also helped us with our activities at the level of volunteer work, so there is no problem with other problem children…….”
“… It would be difficult to entrust such a thing to him.”
Hey, I’m a child suffering from anger management disorder, so I’m sure you’re worried about when you’ll be stimulated by the trivial thing of watering flowers.
Moreover, since he is a child who entered the school under the breath of the emperor, he cannot be left unattended.
“Um, so I’m looking for a way to isolate them during the school festival…”
Once I understood the general situation, I put my thoughts together for a while and then immediately handed over the proposal to Weiden.
“Then, how about leaving that child to me for a while?”
“Yes? Are you talking to the teacher?”
“Coincidentally, the teacher is also absent from the school festival because of work.”
A while ago…….
So it was because of the instructions Mariel gave me when the damn motherf*cker visited this academy.
A total of 4 people staying in this academy city……. Including Heide, it is one of the five religious groups.
They supported the academy in preparation for a large-scale event held once a year at the academy, and based on it, they were preparing to conduct evangelism activities targeting people flocking from all over the continent.
Because of the scale and the amount of investment made in this city, their activities are bound to draw attention from Maris.
However, it was not easy for the academy to coordinate their activities, as they often have a closed and narrow-minded view, as is common with religion.
Scholars are usually separated from religion and studies, and the teachers at the academy, who will be appointed as representatives of Maris, are usually in that category.
“In other words, the teacher of Maris, who also has the eyes of a religious person, was judged to be the right person for the role.”
“This is a tough job, are you okay?”
“What can you do if you give me money?”
Fatigue from work usually comes from pay.
I ignored the two of them’s worries and looked back at Wayden.
“So I think I’ll have to get away from Maris for a while and help coordinate their activities until the school festival is over. So I think it would be okay to take one or two children who are difficult to manage at the academy while going out, but would you like to leave it to me?”
“If the teacher said that… …. All right. Let’s trust it and leave it to you.”
Wayden nodded in response.
Seeing that his expression improved so much, I felt relieved as well.
“Hey, wait… ….”
On the contrary, the student council president is in a state of doubt.
Soon she started asking me cautiously.
“That, sir. If you ever go out…. Are you taking Dale with you?”
“Ah well, that will happen. As you know, he is in a similar position to Ratel.”
It’s a position where neither of them should be left unattended.
Of course, in reality, both of them are good children, but it would be unreasonable to expect such understanding from people who do not know the circumstances.
In the case of the chairman, however, the prejudice against him seemed to have disappeared…….
“Oh, yes. Okay.”
What is it, that regretful reaction?
“… Are you sad that Dale couldn’t attend the school festival?”
“Yes, yes!? What are you talking about? Seriously, I’m sorry……. Of course, the school festival is busy, so would you like that child to help? I thought, but still……. As expected, I also have a lot of official appearances at school festivals, so it’s hard for me to take care of them. Oh, and never…….”
“Maya.”
The lead manager opens his eyes as if he smelled something suspicious.
Maya, who had stopped talking, stiffened her body and glared back at Weyden.
“Why, why? Aren’t you worried about me?”
“You can worry about it. Me too.”
“So what the hell are you worried about!”
The two start growling at each other again.
From that appearance, I started to feel a fresh feeling that I don’t know why.
Until now, I couldn’t even imagine having a conversation like an adult…….
Yes, high school students are usually like this.
They seem to be more sensitive to their weaknesses than their strengths, and they find fault with each other and fight, but as time goes on, they talk casually as if it was like that.
Seeing the two students displaying such an atmosphere, it is likely that students from other academies are also creating such a friendly atmosphere.
For the most part.
“…… Anyway, there will always be children who are not welcome anywhere.”
Isn’t it everywhere?
Birth, race, wealth, family…….
If, for whatever reason, they are far from the average, and if it is judged that they do not have the will or strength to resist, they are bound to be thoroughly isolated.
That’s not entirely wrong.
For humans as social animals, group solidarity is necessary, and it can be said that it is instinct to rule out things that harm that solidarity.
Even if we try to accept differences in order to expand the scale, we are harming them. …. It may be the concept of justice that people talk about starting from excluding small goals for big goals.
It is a complicated problem.
Someone is being bullied, and immature children go to extremes…….
“…… After all, the old system is the problem.”
Anyway, it’s the center of peace, but after all, it’s a school built during the war.
Two years is too short a time to change the system at that time to the era of peace.
Nevertheless, the obsession to change is bound to cause many unexpected problems.
“Two of you, can you come this way for a second?”
However, how can we pass the responsibility on to these children?
“Yes? What… …. What?”
“…… Teacher?”
“Stay still.”
I spent time hugging the bodies of the two and feeling their weight and warmth.
It was a body that could not be called small.
It’s so big that it can’t be compared to Dale or Beans… Yes, they’ll soon become adults like me.
As these two prepare for the moment, they will have the capacity to endure what they face.
However, children who have not yet reached this age…….
If you face a situation where you have no choice but to rule out differences, you will have no choice but to be swayed by it.
“The two of you, please work hard so that this year can be a good school festival. Teachers will do their best.”
So, at least, I hope that the space where I am is a place where such children can stay comfortably.
Hopefully, I hoped that my wish would come true, and I gradually put strength into the hands that embraced the two of them.
***
And the next morning.
Before the saintess and Dale went to school, I brought the items I was in charge of at the student council to the health room and had time to face them alone.
“It’s been a while. Little boy How have you been?”
An ancient weapon with an ego that was pushed back and buried hundreds of years ago. Deus Ex Machina.
“Danger, escape.”
As soon as he saw me, he jumped out of his seat and rushed through the window.
– Kung!
I was thrown out and landed on the floor in the health room.
Not just anyone can break that, you bastard.
