Amnestics

　　Student guidance room.

　　"Not bad. The value increases. If you keep working hard like this, it won't be a problem to get accepted into an ideal university."

　　Kirisu Mafuyu put down the report cards from some of the recent quizzes, and nodded towards Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu.

　　"It's not that you don't have talent in weak subjects, it's just that you can't find a way. I misunderstood in the past, sorry."

Furuhashi and Ogata looked at each other in surprise. then, Furuhashi held up the report card, shaking her head at Mafuyu.

　　"It is true that we have no talent. It's because we don't have talent, that's why we suffer a lot when we try hard, and we can't defend many times."

　　Ogata watched Mafuyu seriously.

　　"But Shinichi-san told us that talent is not a source of pain, and a lack of confidence will prevent us from advancing."

　　"As long as you believe that you have no other way to improve except hard work, you will not think about it, but try your best to do what you can."

Furuhashi said: "Asada-san also said that talent can indeed determine our future."

　　Ogata said: "But what determines the future is where we want to go."

　　In front of Mafuyu, the two girls laughed happily and enchantingly like a row of numbers that kept increasing on a report card.

　　"The most important thing is whether you can feel happy while studying. If you can, even if you have no talent, you can continue to work hard until you realize your goal!"

　　"😐"

　　Mafuyu looked at them slowly, slowly lowered her gaze, and sighed.

　　"Indeed, like something he would say..."

She flipped through the documents on the table and spoke calmly.

　　"You two can come out, call him for me."

　　"Yes, then we will go first."

　　The two of them saluted and exited the tutoring room door, just in time to see Shinichi put down his cell phone and face them.

　　"Are you okay?"

Furuhashi nodded "En, Sensei complimented us, and her attitude is much gentler than before." Then she showed her the report card, and smiled, "Although the progress isn't clear, but maintain this momentum, maybe one day, Asada-san will be defeated by us too?"

　　Ogata clenched her small fists in front of her chest, looking at Shinichi passionately.

　　"Shinichi-san, just you wait. When I surpass you, I will teach you literature!"

　　Shinichi smiled and reached out to touch both of their heads like a loving father, pulling away naturally before either of them could react.

　　"It's still too early for you guys to take the next step… But I'm looking forward to it."

　　The two of them didn't object to her actions, but hugged the report card even tighter with red faces. Furuhashi suddenly remembered Mafuyu's instructions, and quickly stepped aside.

　　"Asada-san, Sensei is waiting for you inside."

　　Shinichi entered the student guidance room, and when the door closed.

　　As soon as Mafuyu saw Shinichi, she immediately spoke.

　　"Congratulations. Your teaching achievements have been outstanding. I suggest you apply for a VIP recommendation from the school. If you use this deed as a stepping stone, it will be easy to get letters of recommendation."

　　Shinichi sat on a chair and answered.

　　"Thanks for the suggestion, but I have no ideas at the moment."

　　Mafuyu was a little confused: "Why? Do you want to deny yourself your award? Let the two geniuses make up for their shortcomings without giving up their talents. The principal also praised this. Your efforts are seen by the upper echelons."

Shinichi cut her off politely.

　　"I'm not going to deny it, on the contrary, I'm proud to be able to teach them how they developed."

　　Shinichi looked straight at Mafuyu, and said seriously: "The reason is actually very simple, Kirisu Sensei, if you teach students like them, will you use this to profit yourself?"

　　Mafuyu was about to shake her head and say no, but her past suddenly appeared in her mind, as if a boulder was pressing against her heart, making her chest heavy.

　　She looked away, her long hair covering her face, only her clear voice slowly drowned.

　　"Not known. It's been like this ever since. I can't lead students beyond the shackles of a talent like you…"

She sighed softly, but she couldn't let depression set in.

　　"Maybe, maybe not, I don't even know if I can be proud of that... It's not a student problem, I know I don't have that ability. Even if that student did succeed, it was completely unrelated. That is, it has nothing to do with me. "

　　"…Indeed, it's just like what Sensei would say." Shinichi nodded, neither denying nor affirming, just skipping the light topic, "The main reason for not wanting to recommend is because I don't know what to recommend. So it is useless to take it, it is better to give it to those who need it."

　　Mafuyu also put this matter aside for a while, and looked at him with a frown: "Do you have any goals? For example, the work you want to do in the future, the achievements you want to achieve."

　　"No, I rarely think about the future." Suddenly entering the career inquiry period, Shinichi said calmly, "Although it is very likely that I will go on to university after graduation, the specific subject I will choose has not yet been decided, let alone work."

　　"What about interest?"

　　"Study and read."

　　"What are you studying for?" Mafuyu asked again.

　　"For..." Shinichi hesitated.

　　"What do you want to do to discover the future?"

　　 "It seems that you are no different from ordinary students. You don't know what you want to do and what you want to do." Mafuyu said bluntly, "Fortunately you can clarify the two goals. It's amazing how you can teach with this look."

　　"Yeah..." Shinichi didn't mind, just smiled a little, "Sometimes they will be my educators, telling me all kinds of things I didn't know before, maybe if this continues, I will also find myself in them. The target is also uncertain."

　　"...Then, let's talk about this." Mafuyu turned around and placed the documents on the table, "Summer school is almost over. When the materials come out, classes will start at the end of May, and classes will officially start at the beginning of July, so you can take them there."

　　"Yes. Sensei has been working hard all this time." Shinichi bowed slightly, and Mafuyu looked at the paper without looking back.

　　When Shinichi came out and closed the door, and she was the only one left in the room, Mafuyu collapsed and lay down on the table.

　　"Haaaaa... The confusion of youth, everyone has this period..."

　　Completely invisible to others, this is a vulnerability that can only be shown when alone.

　　Even if it was her, it was impossible for everyone in front and behind to look cold, strong, and serious.

　　Cheek rolling on the table, using this slight movement to vent a bit of inner depression, Mafuyu took out a piece of colorful promotional paper from the document.

　　"Fireworks festival... Go and see..."

　　In between the pressure of heavy work, give yourself a chance to rest, this is what mature adults do.

　　Shaking a piece of paper, she maintained a posture lying on the table, her lazy eyes turned, and she glanced at the door.

　　"Sometimes, I really envy Asada... Eh?"

　　She met Shinichi who had just opened the door, and the shocked expression on the other party's face was reflected deeply in her eyes.

　　After a few awkward seconds, Shinichi showed warmth.

　　"The two of them can have what they are today, and Sensei has contributed a lot. I just came back to say this."

　　"I will hang a sign. 'Do Not Disturb outside', please relax and don't push yourself too hard."

Shinichi closed the door, looked up at the ceiling, and remembered Mafuyu's appearance which he had never seen before.

　　After the door was closed, the temperature in the room seemed to drop by a few degrees.

　　Mafuyu was lying on the table stiffly like a petrified person, her eyes lost their luster, and her face became pale and bloodless.

　　——No one knew how her made herself forget the aftermath of the ten seconds after that, and stepped out of the student guidance room.
