I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 63 Wind section, continue to practice
After bidding farewell to Shiori Shinohara, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who had nothing to do, stood at the door of the concert hall, thinking about what he should do next.

When he goes back to the concert hall, his role is to be a potted plant to be placed there for decoration.It is said that potted plants can also purify the air, so it may not be as good as potted plants.

Well, since that's the case...

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked up, the clear sky in May was blue and clear, and an airplane cloud that appeared at an unknown time was like a brush passing by, drawing a beautiful straight line on the canvas.

It's also good for a walk in this weather.

So let's just wander around, take a look at the independent practice of the other parts, and exercise the role of instructor.

After making a decision, Hirakawa Tetsubun, who was rarely diligent, lowered his head and looked around. In his sight, there was a figure of a female student in Moritani's uniform, and he walked over there.

-

"Senior, I'm tired."

"Are you tired? How about everyone?"

"Tired too."

"Okay, let's take a break then."

The French horn section, the members began to chat.

"Xiazi, the sleepover is so tiring. I usually practice for more than an hour, but today's practice lasted for more than an hour in the morning."

"Now... let me take a look." Xia Zi took out his phone and glanced at it. "It's already three o'clock. So I've practiced for more than two hours today."

"No wonder I'm so tired."

"According to the schedule, we have to practice until evening."

"No way? Rest?"

"Take a break at dinner time and take a shower. Then go to the concert hall to practice the ensemble."

"I don't want to move anymore..."

Xia Zi glanced at her: "Ami."

Ami pouted: "How can I remember, last year's sleepover was different from now."

"It's different."

"Last year was significantly easier, with a lot of rest and free time."

"Because there is Teacher Hirakawa this year." Xia Zi said.

"Eh? Teacher Hirakawa, is that the male teacher?"

"Ah."

"Is it because of him?" Ami asked.

"Of course." Xia Zi replied, "Teacher Hirakawa is usually lazy, but in fact he is very strict with students, even during class."

"..." Ami blinked, "By the way, Xia Zi, are you a student in Class A?"

"Yes." Xia Zi nodded, "Ms. Pingchuan is the head teacher of our class."

"That's it, no wonder you know so well. That is to say, is it because of Mr. Hirakawa that this year's dorm is so strict?"

"It should be. After all, according to Teacher Xiaoli's personality, such a schedule should not be possible."

"..." Ami was stunned, and then hugged her head, "Whoa, why! I want a relaxing sleepover like last year. Before I go out, I still want to play nearby."

"Accept the reality." Xia Zi looked helpless.

"Why did Mr. Hirakawa suddenly become the instructor of the performance department this year?"

"Actually, it was last year."

"Ah?" Yami lowered her hand holding her head, "Last year? I don't know."

"That's why... Hirakawa-sensei is lazy sometimes, and didn't show much in the performance department last year."

"Then why did you come this year?"

"Who knows."

"..."

Ami fell into deep thought, and after a long interval, she suddenly asked, "By the way, is it also because of Mr. Hirakawa, Mr. Xiaoli has become stricter recently, right? I thought it was an illusion before, but now that I say it this way, is it true?"

Xia Zi nodded: "That's right, I feel it too."

"..."

Yamei pondered for a long time again, finally raised her head, and said in a vicious tone, "It's decided, Mr. Hirakawa, you are my lifelong enemy."

"is it?"

Just as Xia Zi was about to respond, he suddenly heard the familiar male teacher's voice.

He froze for a moment, then turned around.A few meters away, Mr. Hirakawa looked at this side with a smile.

"..."

Xia Zi sneaked a glance at Ami beside her from the corner of her eye.

Her face was completely frozen.

-

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't care about the student who secretly complained about him behind his back, he wasn't so narrow-minded.

After visiting the French horn department and casually asking the chief of the horn department "how is the training?", he went to other departments.

No matter how you look at it, it is a reasonable request to take a break when you are tired from practice, and a combination of work and rest is the right way.

He thought so.

However, after an hour, after Hirakawa Tetsufumi "privately interviewed" several voices, Hirakawa Tetsufumi decided to change his thinking just now:
The combination of work and rest is very good, but the rest frequency of each part is not too high...

Looking at the horn part in the field of vision, which took two breaks in just one hour, and now started the third break again, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood in a corner not far away, sighing helplessly.

In fact, not only the French horn part, but also many other parts, except for the percussion part where the minister is, the clarinet part where the orchestra chief is, and the trumpet part are all good. , saxophone, flute & piccolo, oboe & bassoon and bass.

It's all a bit... hard to say.

They were already very relaxed in front of Teacher Xiaoli, but now that they are not in front of Teacher Xiaoli, they behave more loosely.

He even saw Moritani's students hanging out in the park next door.

This is a sleepover practice, not an outing.

-

Evening, concert hall, ensemble time.

"Teacher Ogasa."

Before officially starting the practice, Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw the minister raised his hand in embarrassment.

Xiaoli Suzuki looked at her: "Student Ducun, what's wrong?"

The minister hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Actually, some students reported that...they have too much practice time, too little rest time, and are too tired."

"Eh... is it?"

Ogasa Suzuki looked at the students in the performance department with a look of surprise, "Everyone, do you feel that the training is too tiring?"

Immediately, several students replied: "Mr. Xiaoli, we have been training for a day."

"Training should be a combination of work and rest."

"Yeah, this year's practice is too long, I think last year's is very good."

"This..." Ogasa Suzuki turned her head, looked at Hirakawa Tetsuwen, and asked for his opinion.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the students who made the noise, one was from the trombone department, one was from the French horn department, and the other was from the flute & piccolo department—this girl seemed to be the one wandering in the park .

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen sighed in his heart.

The conflict finally broke out.

The high-intensity training is completely inconsistent with the relaxed practice of the wind performance department in the past. After a day, some people can't stand this and object, which is perfectly normal.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had this moment in mind when making the timetable even before the camp.

He began to speak in silence, while the others waited for him to speak.

In the silence of the concert hall, after contemplating for a long time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa finally spoke and asked, "Students, let me ask—what is the goal of the Moritani Performance Department?"

"National Gold Medal."

In the crowd, Shiori Shinohara raised her hand without hesitation, and answered firmly.

Hirakawa Tetsubun smiled and glanced at the girl, then at the other students.

"What do the other students think?"

"National Gold Medal." It was the minister who answered him.

"National Gold Award." Then came the chief of the orchestra.

Then, one after another, students raised their hands and answered.

"National Gold Medal."

"National Gold Medal."

"National Gold Medal."

"..."

After most of the students answered the "National Gold Award" firmly or followed suit, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Suzuki Ogasa again.

"Mr. Ogasa, if the national gold medal is the goal, is the current practice of our playing department enough?"

"..." Ogasa Suzuki hesitated, and couldn't help but look at the students.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen walked over and stood between her and the students: "Mr. Xiaoli, what do you think?"

"..."

He couldn't see the eyes of the students, so after thinking for a few seconds, Ogasa Suzuki finally shook his head and said in a low voice, "Maybe, it's not enough."

"Did you hear it?"

After getting the answer, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around and faced the students in the performance department.

"But……"

There are students who want to refute.

"But what?"

"..."

There is no more text.

"Then let's practice."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa announced.
