Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

But after a moment of silence, Kotobuki Hikaru followed the teacher's instructions and gave her own answer.

"It's okay... I can't say whether I like it or hate it. In short, no matter what, I will ensure my attendance before graduation. Do you have any other questions? Teacher."

Kotobuki Mitsuru wanted to leave.

Human beings are always like this. When faced with a situation beyond their control, they want to escape.

"Did you come to school just to graduate successfully?" Hiratsuka asked.

"I......?"

Kotobuki Hikaru was about to continue answering, but was suddenly stunned.

......

Silence spread in the distance between the two.

Did you come to school just to graduate?

Kotobuki Hikaru also asked himself this in his heart.

That's absolutely not the case...

When I ran away from home and came to this place, my initial thought was definitely not just for graduation.

If it was just for graduation, he had plenty of ways to achieve graduation conditions without even going to school.

"That's not it." Hiratsuka continued to ask. "Although you are a troublesome student...you were absent just after the first semester of high school, but I can feel that initially you also wanted to enjoy high school life."

Kotobuki nodded numbly, subconsciously, even he didn't notice it.

The purpose of coming to school in the first place...

Indeed, I hope to live a fulfilling and happy high school life, just like Sister Tsumugi.

"You and Goto are doing band activities outside, I remember."

Seeing Kotobuki Hikari fall into silence, Hiratsuka continued to ask questions without mercy. "Are you happy with the band activity outside?"

"I'm very happy...This is the happiest decision in my life." Kotobuki replied without hesitation.

"This answer comes without hesitation..." Hiratsuka sighed, then assumed the posture of an older teacher and spoke.

"Kotobuki, you are a mature guy, so mature that you no longer look like a high school student. For most students who are confused, it is already very rare to be able to find their own future direction."

"But you are different. You have not just found a direction... but have decided on a goal."

Hiratsuka stretched out a slender finger, tapped a point in the air, drew a straight line in the void, and then paused.

"Direction and goal are different. Direction only allows you to walk towards an unknown direction. But you who have set a goal have already begun to move towards that goal. Even the scenery along the way is ignored. Except for It doesn’t matter what happens other than achieving the goal... That’s probably what you’re thinking now.”

Kotobuki blinked blankly.

Subconsciously want to refute.

But when he opened his mouth, he felt that there was nothing he could say to refute.

Things that I was obviously not aware of were noticed and pointed out by the teacher in front of me.

"Does this matter?" Kotobuki said impatiently.

"This is a very dangerous thing. If you ignore the people or things around you like this, you may find that you have lost a lot of things inadvertently when you look back one day after a long time."

Hiratsuka continued to ask without giving Kotobuki a chance to answer.

"You will be a sophomore in high school in about two months, right... At least you won't repeat a grade this year."

"That's right..." Kotobuki Hikari nodded.

Unknowingly, so much time has passed...

"So, you have been getting along with your classmates for nearly a year. Do you remember the names of a few of your classmates?"

"Eh... this..."

Kotobuki Mitsuru wanted to retort.

But when he recalled the names of his classmates, he couldn't remember them.

Even the A-Zhai who spoke to me today, I never called him by his name.

It's not that I'm arrogant and disdainful, it's just that I haven't remembered it.

"You guys...are even more outrageous than I thought."

Seeing Kotobuki Mitsuru's reaction, Hiratsuka's headache became even more intense.

Chapter 278 Dependence

If youth is a journey, Kotobuki Hikaru clearly feels that he is on an upward slope at this moment.

Of course, I am no longer alone now, and I have companions around me who are moving forward together. Compared with my previous life, which was so lonely that it was pitiable, it is completely a precious life.

But at this moment, everything he thought was perfect and without any regrets was denied. Even though he couldn't fault the words of the head teacher in front of him, he still subconsciously didn't want to believe it.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, do you mean that I have been doing something wrong all this time?" Kotobuki Hikaru tried his best to speak in a calm and sincere tone.

"There is no right or wrong in life. Even if you are walking on a deviant road that is not recognized by everyone, and end up living on the street and starving to death next to a garbage dump, as long as you look back on your life before you die and don't feel regret, then for the person involved It’s also the right life.”

"Then teacher, aren't you saying these words to prove that I am on the wrong path now?"

Kotobukiko continued to speak without stopping. "Teacher, are you also that kind of person? You rely on blaming others and enjoy the so-called guiding the lost sheep back to the right track, and then use this to gain the satisfaction of being a teacher."

The words were a bit unpleasant, and Hiratsuka frowned in front of Kotobuki Hikaru.

After the words blurted out, Kotobuki Hikari realized this.

If what you say makes others feel uncomfortable, you will also feel a little guilty.

So Kotobuki Hikaru chose to remain silent, hoping that the class teacher in front of him would scold him, and maybe he would feel better in this way.

However, the imagined criticism did not follow.

"Kotobuki, you are really a well-spoken guy...completely different from the unknown person you are in the class."

Hiratsuka relaxed his frown. "I don't mean to accuse you, I'm just trying to persuade you with words."

"What's the difference between blaming and persuading? It's just the difference between severity and gentleness."

Compared with merciless accusations, gentle persuasion is more difficult to deal with.

Gentle words will make it difficult for people to develop the will to resist, which is a very cunning means of negotiation.

It is difficult for people to be malicious towards gentle people. Even if they originally thought that they were not wrong, after feeling the tenderness, they will feel that "he is good to me", but I doubt it myself.

"Of course it's different. Accusation and persuasion are different depending on the standpoint of the person involved. Criticism is from my personal perspective. I simply hope that you can stand on the same stand as me, while persuasion is from my perspective. Thinking from perspective and giving advice.”

"From my perspective?" Kotobuki Hikaru asked doubtfully. "In other words, teacher and you are on the same side as me?"

This is obviously not the case.

At least from Kotobuki Hikaru's point of view, the current teacher and his own consciousness are completely opposite.

"If you can understand what I'm saying, why do you say anything against it?"

Qinbukiguang mustered up the courage to confront the teacher without being humble or arrogant.

"After all, teacher, you never said anything about what I did wrong from beginning to end."

Hiratsuka stared at the boy in front of him for a while.

Kotobuki Hikaru's eyes couldn't help but sway from side to side, trying to escape from the line of sight that locked him.

"You just want to be recognized, Kotobuki."

"...?!"

Kotobuki Hikaru didn't respond, just frowned and looked at her with shocked eyes.

"Generally speaking, people who have been denied their will since childhood will inevitably seek a sense of identity no matter what they do as they grow up."

Hiratsuka changed his sitting posture, put his right leg down on his left knee, put his left leg on his right leg, and then leaned his body against the desk, pressing his elbows He leaned on the table to support his head.

There is no air of a gentle teacher at all, but instead he seems to be enjoying a joke.

"Actually, you don't have to be like this. You don't have to do what you want to do under the premise of getting approval from others. You can do whatever you want. If high school students of this age are still constrained by what they do, is it still called youth? "

"Teacher Hiratsuka, you are making me guess a riddle, can you say less..."

"Actually, Kotobuki, you have gradually begun to realize that your life now is completely different from what you expected when you first came here."

"Things like life are inherently elusive. Besides, how did Hiratsuka-sensei know what I wanted in the first place?"

Kotobuki Hikaru has realized that he is gradually falling into a disadvantage in the negotiations.

Now the right to speak has been completely seized by the other party, so now I can only throw the issue back in a desperate manner and try to get back the right to speak as much as possible.

"When you first came to school, even though you were absent from the opening ceremony...which delayed many geniuses from coming to school, but when I first brought you to the class, I could clearly feel that you still wanted to You can integrate yourself into this group."

"Eh...how did Mr. Hiratsuka figure it out?" Kotobuki Hikaru asked another question.

"Idiot... I'm a teacher. Of course, I see every one of my students."

Snapped--!

Kotobuki Hikaru was patted on the head.

This feels a little strange...

Being patted on the head by a woman who was shorter than myself, I felt like I was an out-and-out child in front of her.

Although Kotobuki Hikaru learned a lot of negotiation skills from his father since childhood, he had been alone and had very little time to talk to others, and was eventually suppressed by this teacher who was already a member of the society.

"You and Goto are the guys who give me the most headaches in the class... They are completely unable to integrate into the group. They are like transparent people in the class. 'If this continues, these two people will definitely not be able to adapt to life in society'... ..I still had this kind of trouble at that time.”

"But then I found out that you two were very close, and even made a splash at the school's cultural festival. My feelings about you two changed a lot. I even thought that you and Goto had a relationship that could integrate into the group and be... The ability to be embraced by the collective.”

Hiratsuka shook his head and sighed.

"But not long after, the two of you seemed to have returned to the original state, and even intensified. Except for each other, you and Goto have no contact with anyone else now."

"Ichiri and the band mates and I get along very well." Kotobuki Hikaru pointed out the error in the other person's words.

"It's just that you two have the same goal that you recognize each other."

"It's enough to have a few people who agree with me."

"That is to say, in your heart, there is no need to communicate with people who cannot recognize you, right?"

"..."

Kotobuki Hikaru was completely led by the other party, and was left speechless by several questions without realizing it.

"Ha...aren't you guys together with Kita from another class? Let's learn from her. She's very popular among the students. She can talk to anyone."

"Kita..."

Kotobuki Mitsuru imagined Kita's appeal among students.

No matter where she goes, she is surrounded by a group of people. Even in the upper grades, she has many acquaintances. She is extremely popular among the boys. However, because of her popularity aura, almost no boys dare to approach her. They just regard her as An unattainable existence.

This is still based on the premise that Kita has not joined the club. That guy can already be said to be a social nerd.

However, Kita's personality is the type that easily attracts others.

He and Yili couldn't do that kind of thing no matter what.

Kotobuki Hikaru seemed to be quite popular among girls after the cultural festival. However, she became a lover with Ichiri, and after this matter spread due to Kita's publicity, not many people became popular among girls. An ignorant girl came to speak.

There are differences between people.

Being able to understand this gap and have self-knowledge is also very important.

"The relationship between you and Goto must be very good...perhaps so good that the two of you find it incredible, but this relationship is said to be same-sex attraction...it should be understood as mutuality. Just rely on the other person.”

rely?

Kotobuki Hikari blinked in confusion.

I like Yili, and of course I like him as a lover.

And Yili definitely views himself with such feelings, there is no denying it.

And remove the meaning of liking this aspect...

I am indeed very dependent on the other person.
