Chapter 65: Relationship between two teachers
______
"Chabashira-sensei, are these the only three test papers?"
"Yes, just these three," Chabashira Sae nodded slightly.
Rin Matsuoka started filling out the test paper, and Chabashira Sae asked, "Rin, do you need something to drink?"
"Chabashira-sensei, you can make the arrangements."
"Alright."
After a while, Chabashira Sae placed a cup on the desk. Rin glanced over and showed a subtle expression.
It's boiled water...
Well, boiled water is fine, healthy, and simple.
Rin didn't think there would be any other drinks available in Chabashira Sae's room anyway...
After bringing Rin a glass of boiled water, Chabashira Sae sat on the bed to avoid disturbing him as he filled out the test paper.
The dormitory room was quiet, with only the sound of Rin's pen marking the paper.
Judging by how quickly he was answering the questions, He must be quite competent academically. Otherwise, he wouldn't be finishing so fast.
Anyway, when students fill out test papers this quickly, they either have a plan or they're filling it out randomly...
At this moment, Rin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Chabashira-sensei, does Teacher Hoshinomiya ever invite you to drink?"
"Yes, she's quite the alcoholic. She drinks whenever she feels like it, even if she has classes the next day. She often gets herself drunk."
When it came to Hoshinomiya Chie, even the cold-tempered Chabashira Sae couldn't help but show a troubled expression. It was obvious that her noisy best friend wasn't someone she could easily deal with.
"Does she drink strong liquor when she gets drunk?"
"Yes, she particularly likes strong liquor, otherwise she wouldn't get hungover so easily."
Rin smiled slightly. He also liked strong liquor, as it was the best base for cocktails.
"Teacher Hoshinomiya is different from you, Chabashira-sensei. She doesn't want to be a serious teacher. Maybe I'll ask her for strong liquor in the future."
Rin actually enjoyed drinking, especially the feeling of being slightly tipsy.
In the past, Rin didn't have many opportunities to drink or mix cocktails due to personal circumstances. But now, with plenty of personal points and the store selling alcohol, he had the chance to try mixing cocktails and drinking them.
"Chabashira-sensei, are you and Hoshinomiya-sensei on good terms?"
Chabashira Sae replied with a touch of sadness, "My relationship with her is hard to describe, but it's a good one overall."
Rin turned his head slightly to look at Chabashira Sae, who was sitting on the bed. "When I was waiting by the elevator earlier, I ran into Teacher Hoshinomiya. She asked me why I came to your place, but I didn't tell her the reason."
Chabashira Sae looked at Rin in surprise, "Why didn't you?"
"Because I wasn't sure if you, Chabashira-sensei, were breaking any school rules by bringing test papers from outside," Rin said, turning back to continue working on the test.
Chabashira Sae was momentarily stunned, but then a smile appeared on her pretty face. "Although the school has many regulations, bringing in junior high test papers from outside doesn't violate any rules."
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved."
He is just a student, but he is worried about her teacher. What a strange student.
Chabashira Sae looked at Rin Matsuoka's back. She was very satisfied with the boy's cautious attitude. He did not tell Hoshinomiya Chie about his own affairs just because she was a teacher.
It's better to be cautious.
Students who are not careful will only be cheated by others.
There are even some slow students who don't know how to think proactively and are still helping others count their money when they are being cheated.
Chabashira Sae felt that the fact Rin came to her dormitory room tonight must have made Hoshinomiya Chie curious about him, so Chabashira Sae gave her instructions.
"Chie and I have been classmates since high school. We have a good relationship, but we are also competitors now."
Because it hasn't even been a month since the new students entered school, the homeroom teachers of the first-year students cannot tell their students the cruel fact that only graduates from Class A will receive preferential treatment from the school.
The school guide states that the school is under state management and is proud of its '99 percent admission rate' and '99 percent employment rate'.
Rumor has it that as long as you can graduate from this school, you can easily get into even a place that is normally difficult to get into.
There were even rumors that you could be admitted to the University of Tokyo, the top university in Japan.
But... this school is not as good as the rumors say. It does have privileges, but if students want to obtain the school privileges to achieve their employment and further studies goals, they must graduate from Class A in their senior year.
The other three classes, whether it is Class B, Class C, or Class D, are unable to obtain... or in other words—the students of these three classes are not eligible to obtain the school's privileges.
In order to compete for this privilege in the school, all classes need to compete for Class A, so the classes are enemies.
There is also a hostile and competitive relationship between class teachers.
"Rin, if you meet Chie again in the future, don't answer her no matter what she asks you. It's best to avoid her when you see her."
"There's no need to avoid her..." Rin said with a smile. That Hoshinomiya Chie is quite cute. She's not a man-eating tigress. Why does she need to be avoided?
"If you spend more time with Chie, you'll see how difficult she is. By then, you will subconsciously avoid her."
"…"
Rin recalled what happened in the elevator. Teacher Hoshinomiya was very difficult to deal with and wouldn't give up until her doubts were satisfied.
"Hey! When I was trying to break free from her grip, did I touch her breasts?"
At this moment, Rin suddenly realized the situation, and the narrator chimed in!
[Yes, host, when you were struggling to break free, you touched Hoshinomiya Chie's side chest.]
"That's true... But she didn't seem to be angry with me afterward. Did she not notice it? Or did she not care at all?" Rin asked the narrator, feeling awkward.
[Hoshinomiya Chie noticed this, and she wasn't indifferent. She was wondering if she was being taken advantage of by the host, or if she was taking advantage of the host.]
"..."
Well, that's Hoshinomiya-sensei for you!
Rin continued to concentrate on filling out the test paper. Chabashira Sae, who was sitting on the bed, gently tapped her jade feet, looking a little unnatural.
This was clearly the dormitory where she had lived for many years, except now there was just one more student present. So why did she feel so uncomfortable?
I want to smoke...
But she was worried that the smell of smoke would disturb Rin, who was working on the test, so Chabashira Sae could only endure it. Suddenly, she thought of a better idea!,
