Harumi Junko, currently thirty-one years old, unlike her excellent appearance, often unconsciously exudes an aura of decadent.
At first glance, she is a beautiful woman, but upon closer inspection, you will find that she is the type of regrettable woman.
With this appearance of losing her life goal and giving up on herself, Harumi Junko is actually no different from those who are frustrated in society.
"Tokyo University, is this really not a scam?"
Harumi Junko was in the Academy office observing Mr. Tsubota's teaching methods through the glass while getting familiar with the situation. At this moment, she couldn't help but think about the fact that someone in Aomine Cram School had decided to aim for Tokyo University.
Having failed to get into Tokyo University, Harumi Junko, who is frustrated with life, can't help but think of Mother's disappointed eyes whenever she thinks of that place.
"Harumi Sensei, cheer up!"
Mr. Tsubota walked into the office and sighed to Harumi Junko.
Her gloomy aura like this can affect the students.
Harumi Junko and Mr. Tsubota are similar in age, but in comparison, their styles are completely separate.
Carrying the banner of Aomine Cram School, Mr. Tsubota, who is determined not to abandon any student and to do his best to send them to their desired Universities, is full of hope for the future. This kind of temperament of his is like magic, infecting the students of Aomine Cram School.
Harumi Junko had seen many Teachers like this in the Sannoh Cram School before.
It might not be exactly the same, but taking the cram Teacher for the Tokyo University special advanced class at the Sannoh Cram School where she stayed before as an example, that person was also full of confidence.
In Tokyo, Sannoh Cram School is also somewhat well-known, completely different from Aomine Cram School.
It's not that Harumi Junko wants to compare Sannoh Cram School with Aomine Cram School, it's just that she was really hit hard. After being fired, even in another place, the people around her are also full of confidence.
Compared to them, as a loser or someone who is frustrated, Harumi Junko's loser's halo is particularly conspicuous.
"I'm sorry..."
The listless Harumi Junko habitually became a little self-deprecating again.
However, on second thought, after being fired and being one step away from completely falling into the abyss of failure, someone still gave her a chance. At least in the workplace, Harumi Junko was still hanging on.
"Harumi Sensei, are you getting used to it?"
The president, wearing a neat work uniform and with graying hair, walked in and asked.
In the Academy, the president is very inconspicuous, and most students just regard him as a quiet cleaner, because when the students notice him, he is either organizing the Academy or cleaning outside the Academy, and they would never associate him with being the president.
"Thanks to your care, President, the atmosphere of the Academy is very good!"
Harumi Junko quickly turned around and replied to the president.
Compared to when she was at Sannoh Cram School before, there is no difference in terms of the learning atmosphere.
If she thought this was a small Academy where she could regain some confidence, that's not possible either.
Just as Harumi Junko often thought, on the day she failed to get into Tokyo University, the label of failure was already stuck on her and could not be torn off.
Just thinking about life before the exam and after the exam, this tragic contrast makes Harumi Junko feel powerless all over.
"Please do your best."
The president nodded, then said nothing more, turned around, and left the office.
The group of students in the Academy who were buried in their studies had a little curiosity about Harumi Junko at first, but now they have no time to think about anything else.
In the entire Academy, Mr. Tsubota is the same as before, either staying in his seat or walking among the students.
Although there is now an additional cram Teacher in the Academy, today is only to formally introduce Harumi Junko to the students, and there are still many things that need to be explained and gotten used to.
The night had fallen outside the window at some unknown time, and the night view of Tokyo was as brilliant as ever.
Academies located throughout the city saw many students finishing their studies and leaving one after another. Higher education wasn't the only option, but many people chose this path. At night, you could see not only office workers coming out of izakayas but also the vast army of students preparing for exams coming out of Academies, including many who had failed previously and were retaking them.
Of course, at this time, there were also students who didn't need to worry about the future or didn't choose higher education as their path, out having fun.
This city, with one of the highest population densities in the world, certainly looked prosperous, but for most people in this city, the towering steel forest could make many feel suffocated.
"Time to pack up!"
Inside Aomine Cram School, Aki Tomoya closed his book, then rubbed his sore neck.
He turned his head to look out the window, then checked the time. Most of the other students in the Academy had already left.
It was about time.
"Thank you for today as well. See you the day after tomorrow, Tsubota-sensei."
After packing his things, Aki Tomoya walked up to Mr. Tsubota to say goodbye.
Mr. Tsubota smiled, then stood up and replied, "See you next time, Aki-kun."
With the last student gone, only Mr. Tsubota and the newly hired Harumi Junko remained in the Academy.
As her senior, Mr. Tsubota came up to Harumi Junko again and asked, "Harumi Sensei, are you getting used to things here?"
It was the exact same question as the president before.
Harumi Junko nodded and politely replied, "It is an honor to be able to teach students here!"
Whether it was just polite words or genuine, Mr. Tsubota didn't care about such questions; he just hoped that Harumi Junko could get into the swing of things as soon as possible.
After all, even as a senior in the Academy, he didn't have much time to look after Harumi Junko.
With over a dozen students in the Academy, although it wasn't as large as some places, being responsible for a dozen students and having to tailor different approaches for each one meant he often couldn't manage everything himself.
Now, although a new tutor had joined, seemingly able to share the burden, honestly, this Harumi Junko in front of him was quite worrying.
Mr. Tsubota had seen many people like this who were feeling down, but from his observation, he could tell that Harumi Junko's family background was probably one of quality.
At this age, sometimes appearing dejected and downcast, with a good family background – if he wasn't mistaken, Harumi Junko actually still had a little bit of longing in her heart.
If someone like Harumi Junko completely gave up on herself, she might as well marry just anyone, or she wouldn't have seized this insignificant opportunity at Aomine Cram School.
Mr. Tsubota's guess was not far off from Harumi Junko's current situation; the only thing he didn't guess correctly was that Harumi Junko had been going on blind dates, but she herself failed every time.
Harumi Junko was a complete Disappointing!
