Ideas are Never Right or Wrong

　　The door is opened.

　　Furuhashi and Ogata came out from inside, Mafuyu stood straight and asked in a cold tone.

　　"Are you two sure you're done answering? Once I started marking the exam papers, there was no chance to change it."

　　The two nodded slightly, with no dismay on their faces.

　　Mafuyu looked at them, still didn't say anything, went straight into the guidance room, and closed the door.

　　The two of them stared at Shinichi who slowly put away the books, and approached him with their heads down.

　　Shinichi's attitude was the same as before, and he asked casually.

　　"What about the test paper, is it difficult?"

　　The two hesitated for a moment, and finally Furuhashi spoke quietly first.

　　"The topic... It's difficult, and Kirisu Sensei isn't holding back at all."

　　Ogata continued: "All of them are advanced application questions, and they perfectly avoid Shinichi-san's guesswork questions..."

　　"Really..." Shinichi sighed, but there was a relaxed smile on his face, "It's okay, do better in the exam next time, don't be sad."

　　He suddenly raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally placed it on the two drooping heads, and touched it stiffly.

　　Furuhashi and Ogata couldn't help looking at him in surprise. And Shinichi just looked away, with rosy ears, as if nothing had happened.

　　"Everything will be fine... You still have many weeks to work hard. Relax and face it, it's not over yet."

　　Even though his voice sounded a bit forced, but there was no way, he was trying to endure the torment of embarrassment.

　　To be clearheaded, to be properly aware of what he was doing, without any strange instincts, and to take the initiative to carry out this kind of intimate and encouraging behavior – this was a huge test for Shinichi.

　　"Asada-san..."

　　"Shinichi-san..."

　　What Shinichi didn't notice was that the two girls were blushing.

　　After touching for seven or eight seconds, Shinichi quickly withdrew his hand, then turned and walked towards the corridor.

　　"It took some time for Sensei to correct the test paper. Let me treat both of you to a drink as a graduation present from this educator…"

　　Before he finished speaking, his clothes were suddenly grabbed by two hands, and he turned his head only to see two joyful smiling faces.

　　"I lied to you~"

　　"Shinichi-san was deceived."

　　Shinichi froze.

　　"Lie to me? What lie…"

　　Shinichi reacted quickly. Indeed, the two's depressive reaction was too little, especially Ogata who from the start lowered her head to prevent seeing her expression.

"Could it be, this little test..."

They raised their hands at the same time, making a "V" sign.

　　"Nine out of ten!"

　　"The correct answer rate is 60%, and the fault tolerance rate is very high, so there is no need to worry."

　　Shinichi couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

　　"Very good!"

　　Seeing Shinichi's sincere expression, they could only smile gently.

　　Then, the two smiling faces were pinched by Shinichi's fingers, one on each side, and started to be pulled in opposite directions.

　　"So, who came up with the idea to tease me?" Shinichi looked at the two people and said quietly, "I, Asada Shinichi, the thing that I want to do the most is to treat the person who deliberately made me worry."

　　Both of them panicked, and wanted to say something, but Shinichi pinched their cheeks and didn't give them a chance to speak.

　　"Didn't say who? In that case, tell me that you dare to play a trick on the educator!"

　　Shinichi let go of their cheeks, clasped his middle finger with his thumb, and flicked their foreheads hard.

　　"Wow!"

　　"Goooo..."

　　Shinichi looked away from seeing their pitiful faces crouched on the ground covering their foreheads with teary eyes.

　　"Next time don't make jokes like that, it's so boring! It's hard for me to sort out my mood, it's really…"

　　The last sentence was muttered to prevent them from hearing Before the two of them showed confused expressions, he put his hands in his pockets and walked forward first.

　　"Drink, choose what you want."

　　Furuhashi and Ogata were stunned for a moment, looked at his slowly walking back, and smiled again on the face that was slightly red.

　　After that, the two quickly followed, side by side with Shinichi, and walked together towards the vending machine on the stairs.

　　"Shinichi-san, I want to drink black tea~"

　　"Then I will drink green tea."

　　"You have no choice, matcha soda today."

　　"Eh... What kind of drink is that..."

　　"That doesn't sound good."

　　"Nice. I have a ... friend, and she really likes it."

　　"Hmmm...? Friend?"

　　"Is that so... Her?"

　　The voices of the chattering of the three gradually drifted away from the student guidance room.

　　...

　　When the door to the guidance room was opened and closed again, only two people were left in the room, Mafuyu and Shinichi.

　　"You know their worth."

　　Sitting on a chair, Mafuyu first pointed at the chair opposite, then looked straight at him: "How do you feel?"

　　Shinichi sat down and answered calmly: "I don't have any thoughts, it will happen sooner or later. They won't be stagnant forever, I'm just speeding up the process."

　　"…It seems I asked a stupid question."

　　Mafuyu sighed softly, but the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

　　"Happy. You let me see their possibilities. From now on, I will not interfere with their target selection. If you need help you can let me know. According to the "gamble", I will do my best for them. Give better educators and some chances to audition for cram schools."

　　"Thank you Sensei." Shinichi bowed his head earnestly, without any surprise on his face.

　　Although there was no need to comply with the verbal contract of anger, neither he nor Mafuyu were actually prepared to fulfill the contract.

　　This is not a matter of emotion, but simply respecting the other party's belief that they are willing to devote themselves to "students".

　　Shinichi learns that it is very easy to say big words, but very hard to work hard, and even harder to keep working hard.

　　"I see your hard work and persistence, and I hope you can continue..."

　　After a pause, Mafuyu looked at Shinichi and said calmly.

　　"However, this does not mean that I agree with your educational policies. If one day their grades drop back to their previous levels, before things get out of hand, I will use forceful means to get them back on track and stop unhealthy education."
