V11.5 Chapter 1 Part 2
Afterwards, there was to be a thank you meeting held by the graduates and all the
teachers and their guardians.
It was said that the ceremony held was by the students and their guardians to
show appreciation towards the teachers.
The rest of the students were allowed to return to their dorms, but those who
were close to the third years due to club activities or some other reason were
preparing to see them off after they came out.
The students seemed very anxious, and at the same time, quiet from the tension.
“Okay, even though we can mention this tomorrow during the closing ceremony,
let’s briefly summarise what happened this year. “
“First of all, during the final examination, you achieved commendable results
despite having Class A students as opponents. The other teachers are also
surprised at your growth.”
Although it was a defeat, Chabashira-sensei, who was usually harsh on us, gave us
praise.
“My impression of you guys since first entering school has totally changed. It’s
honestly incredible for you to be able to grow to this point.”
“But Sensei, we’re going back to becoming Class D again, so doesn’t that mean
we’re still failures?
“I’m actually scared that you’re praising us like this. Sensei, what’s the catch?”
The fact that Sudo was expressing worry towards Chabashira’s praise did have
some logic behind it.
“That’s what I truly think. This is my 4th year as a teacher. Compared to the
previous Class D, you guys really are a step up. But that’s true for the other
classes as well. Whether you guys can rise to the upper classes depends on how
much effort you put in.”
“Although the closing ceremony is tomorrow, meaning there won’t be any classes,
remember that it’s still a school day.”
I didn’t know how many students would go see off the 3rd years, but what would
the girl in the table next to me do?
She was the sister of the student who had not only served as the student council
president, but was also the student who had delivered the graduation speech as
the leader of the graduating Class A.
Even though I felt like if I carelessly poked the snake, it would bite back, I tried to
ask anyway.
“Are you asking if I was going to see my brother? If that’s it, then I have no plans
to go.”
Not going…huh?
“…What has this got to do with you? We all have our own problems.”
“If you miss this opportunity, there might not be another chance.”
“That…”
Although their relationship was slowly thawing, the fact that she still showed
reluctance towards this important moment was proof of their distorted
relationship in recent years.
It was because of the fact I didn’t get deeply involved with people very much, that
Horikita looked so surprised.
“Although I’m not that close with him, this might be the last time I see him.”
“Is it…?”
My face clearly revealed my doubts about why she wanted to meet him, but I
couldn’t say it aloud.
I stood up.
The teachers were required to go to the thank you meeting. Even Acting Director
Tsukishiro couldn’t get away with not participating.
“To kill some time. I have nothing to do until the end of the thank you meeting. If
you’re going to see your brother, can you wait for me?”
“…I’ll think about it. How long are you going to take?”
Although she said she hadn’t planned to go, it seemed like she changed her mind.
The scheduled time for the meeting was 90 minutes, so it was going to be a while
until it ended.
