Shizuka's Students All Like Shirou / Shizuka Is Invited Out by a Handsome Teacher ...
"That's great, Hiratsuka- kun. Does Higashikata-senpai have a crush on you? I heard he's going to take over his high-ranking father's position in the Ministry of Education sooner or later. He's so young and promising; he might even become the Minister of Education someday."
"No, it's just that we happen to be from the same university, so they take extra care of me," Shizuka Hiratsuka said casually with a smile, her gaze already drawn to a name on the class roster.
Chapter 581 All the Shizuka students like Shirou
Deep within the wooded path, the person who collapsed had become a patient suffering from amnesia. All that was needed was to notify the police so they could take him away and reform him.
Shirou stood up and went to meet Bazett was rushing over.
The red-haired woman sensed the trap had been activated and understood that she no longer needed to help. With Shirou's current strength, the difference in dealing with second-rate Magecraft was merely one punch versus two.
As long as he can hit his opponent, there will be no problem. Shirou, who has gradually mastered the power of the world, is becoming a more and more well-rounded warrior.
The red-haired woman stepped forward, surveyed the battlefield, and commented:
"Yeah, one punch and he's down. Shirou, you've gotten stronger again."
"It was just a little trickery; in a head-on fight, I'm still no match for you, Bazett," Shirou said with a smile. Shirou, possessing the shared memories of spiritual beings from different worlds, quickly demonstrated his talent.
"Hmm, but you're not far off. If you keep training, it won't take two years for Shirou to surpass me in every aspect. You're one step closer to your goal," Bazett said approvingly to his disciple.
"Yes! I'll do my best!" Shirou said, clenching his fist. All his previous efforts had been worthwhile; he was now one step closer to his ideal self.
However, as time goes by and people change, while Shirou grows up, Shizuka Hiratsuka on the other side faces the challenge of a turning point in her life.
Shirou never expected to see someone he didn't anticipate in his class on Monday morning.
Shirou's homeroom teacher was a middle-aged woman in her forties named Furutsu. During Monday's class meeting, she began by saying:
"Okay, today I'd like to introduce a new teaching assistant. She will be assisting me with the class work for the next three weeks. Okay, please come in."
"Hello everyone, my name is Shizuka Hiratsuka, and I'm a second-year student at Chiba Normal University. Starting today, I will be your teacher, and we will be spending the next three weeks together. Please treat me like you would with Mr. Kotori, and get along well with me." The black-haired woman greeted her students with a friendly smile.
"A beautiful person..."
"She's the older sister of a college student."
"They're sophomores, they don't look that much older than us..."
The students in the class started whispering excitedly.
"..." Only one boy stared blankly at the black-haired woman on the stage.
Shizuka Hiratsuka winked at Shirou, gesturing for them to talk after class, but noticing the girl's interaction, Shirou turned his head away.
"?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the boy's reaction with some confusion.
However, at this moment, the homeroom teacher spoke up, reminding her:
"Yes, yes, everyone, please answer!"
"Please give us your guidance, Teacher Hiratsuka!" the students said in unison.
"Yes, everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to come and talk to me~!" Shizuka Hiratsuka replied with a smile.
Shizuka Hiratsuka originally intended to greet Shirou, but at that moment a group of female students ran over together.
"Teacher, we actually have some questions we don't understand. Could you teach us?"
"Yes, of course," Shizuka Hiratsuka replied with a smile.
The girls chattered away, quickly going beyond the textbook and asking Shizuka Hiratsuka all sorts of questions about her life.
Although Shizuka Hiratsuka usually interacts with children of this age, she was actually a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of children attacking her.
"Teacher Hiratsuka."
"Hiratsuka- chan-sensei."
"Teacher Jing~!"
During the chat, the girls changed how they addressed her three times, but overall, she seemed to be quite popular, at least among these girls.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, somewhat curious about the boy's situation in class, casually remarked, "That red-haired boy seems to be quite popular in class."
The female students around them lit up when they heard the name of the boy, and they all rushed to speak:
"Well, Shirou. He's a popular figure in his class... no, in the whole school. He's an all-rounder in sports, and his studies are pretty good too. He's especially gentlemanly when girls are in trouble."
"Yeah, I once accidentally spilled my lecture notes on the floor, and Shirou helped me out. He was so cool! He caught me when I almost fell, and then he caught all the scattered lecture notes with one hand. It was like Magecraft."
"Ah, once I forgot to bring my lunchbox, and he even shared some of his portion with me. But then it got into a fight, so I only got one bite. But the taste... I guess good-looking people make the food taste better..." The girl stroked her face, recalling the happiness she felt when the food first touched her lips.
The surrounding female students, and even the male students, all looked over with a shared sense of indignation and said:
"Ah! You were so cunning that time. From now on, Shirou won't dare to share his lunch with anyone who doesn't bring their own."
"That's because you deliberately didn't bring lunchboxes! And you almost got into a fight!" the girl retorted, rubbing her face.
"Come on, calm down," Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly said, trying to calm the students who looked like they were about to fight.
"But we're not without a chance. The school festival is in three weeks, and Shirou has to set up a food stall no matter what. Shizuka-sensei, you absolutely have to come too. I'm not kidding, Shirou's cooking smells amazing!" the girl recommended.
"Ah, um." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded in agreement, feeling slightly guilty. If the students found out that she often ate the delicious food that Shirou made especially for her, she might become the first intern teacher in the school to be ganged up on by the students.
"However, it seems that Shirou-kun is quite popular with that child," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, changing the subject.
"Hmm..." The girls around them, who were easily embarrassed, all blushed.
"Actually, many girls in the class have a crush on him, but unfortunately he doesn't seem interested in dating. He still has the temper of a child."
"Is... is that so?" Shizuka Hiratsuka recalled what had happened before, and thought to herself, "Why does Shirou seem so mature?"
"Teacher! Please don't say we're dating!" the female student said playfully.
"Haha, no way," Shizuka Hiratsuka replied with a dry laugh. There's an idiom that goes something like this: it describes someone who's in a relationship with a student that's more than friends but less than lovers, yet forbids other students from dating...
Chapter 582 Shizuka was invited by the handsome teacher who led the team.
Shizuka Hiratsuka connects with her students emotionally, though she's more like a beautiful older sister than a teacher these days.
At that moment, she spotted a spot and, remembering her earlier discovery, asked the well-informed female students, "Oh right, I saw an empty seat by the window. That must be Ikuto-san, right? Why isn't she at school?"
"Ah... that guy won't be here before the bell rings for the first class."
"That bitch, teacher, just ignore her," a woman said with a look of disgust.
"Huh? What's going on?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, puzzled, not expecting to hear such words.
"Teacher, we believe you, so we're only telling you here. Please don't tell the head of student affairs, okay? Although we don't like that guy, not tattling on classmates is a basic principle for junior high school girls, and we have our principles too."
"Okay, I understand." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded.
"We're not entirely sure, but according to students from other classes, someone saw her..."
"Eh? Yu... an... yuan?" Shizuka Hiratsuka exclaimed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.
"Teacher, you're just here for your internship, so it's best if you don't get involved," the female students advised.
"Yes, I know," Shizuka Hiratsuka replied, but in her heart she had already made up her mind to find out for herself.
"..." Young Shirou looked at the black-haired woman on the stage, chatting happily with other people her age, and suddenly his expression changed. He felt something was strange. No... it's more accurate to say that he had become a little strange ever since that day at the university when they were admiring the cherry blossoms.
"Hey~! What's wrong with you? Why are you staring blankly at the teacher? Shirou?" Just then, a hand reached out to him. It was a boy he was close to in class.
"No..." Shirou was about to explain when he was interrupted by the person next to him.
"Ah, I know! It must be love at first sight! After all, the teacher is very beautiful, and I'm smitten too!" The boy next to him said, cupping his face in his hands, looking completely infatuated.
"Hey~ So Shirou likes that type... Would it be better if I straightened my hair too?" The girls around me twirled their long hair with their fingers and whispered among themselves.
After that, Shizuka Hiratsuka left the classroom, secretly making a gesture to Shirou before leaving—a gesture only they knew.
When the lunch break bell rang, Shirou picked up his lunchbox and went straight outside.
"Hey? Wait, Shirou, where are you going?" a classmate asked.
"Okay, let's eat out today," Shirou said, walking outside.
"Such a rush, it seems suspicious! He must be going to see a woman..." a girl said, squinting her eyes.
"Yo, Shirou, you've finally arrived." At this moment Shizuka Hiratsuka was waiting outside Shirou's school building with a lunchbox in hand.
"No, I saw your gesture, Shizuka," Shirou said.
"You turned your head away and didn't look at me. I thought you hadn't seen me," Shizuka Hiratsuka said.
At this time, most students chose to go to the cafeteria, share a table in the classroom, or go to their clubs. There weren't many people walking around outside. The two found a quiet spot, sat down, and prepared to have lunch together.
"No... I just feel a strange sense of wonder. Has Shizuka really grown up?" Shirou said, frowning in confusion. He had always felt that he and women were the same, partners, one entity, no matter the circumstances.
However, when the woman appeared on the podium, the profession gave her a new identity. Shirou was the student, and Shizuka Hiratsuka was the teacher. The two were no longer equals, but rather the relationship of teaching knowledge and learning knowledge.
"Me? Well, although it's just an internship, as a teacher I'm already a working adult. But I'm who I am, and I won't be any different. I'll take this little octopus." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled, reached out and took the food from Shirou's bento box, put it in her mouth, and revealed a delicious smile.
"Yes, that's true. Quiet is quiet, and that won't change." Shirou smiled when he heard this.
"That's right, who else could I be?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile.
"But when you introduced yourself in class this morning, weren't you acting a little too quiet?" Shirou said.
Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "How can you call that pretending? I was nervous the first time too, and I also wanted to leave a good impression on the students and the homeroom teacher."
"But it will be exposed soon, probably..." Shirou said honestly.
"Is it really possible?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Shirou with a doubt in her eyes, feeling a little guilty.
The interaction between the two was witnessed by a young man in his late twenties, who was leading a group of student teachers passing by upstairs. His gaze swept over Shizuka Hiratsuka and Shirou, finally settling on the woman's smiling face, where he remained motionless for a long time...
When Shizuka Hiratsuka parted ways with Shirou and returned to her office, Teacher Dongguo approached her and gently advised her.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, I advise you not to get too close to male students."
"Huh? What's going on? We were just eating lunch together, you know?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, puzzled.
"Teachers are teachers, and students are students. It's necessary to separate their spaces in school. Ah, of course, I'm not blaming you Teacher Hiratsuka- sensei. After all, they are at a particularly sensitive age. It's just that children in puberty are especially delicate, so if we can avoid it, let's avoid it," Mr. Dongguo explained.
"Yes, I know." Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't quite understand the reasoning behind it, but she nodded nonetheless.
"Oh, right, teacher, you're interested in football, aren't you? I happen to have two tickets for this weekend's game. If you have time, let's watch it together?" At this moment, Teacher Dongguo changed his tune and said, pulling something out of his pocket. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be football match tickets.
"Ah... ah, ah! I'm sorry, I had plans with a friend that day." Shizuka Hiratsuka wondered when she had ever liked soccer. She had read the manga, though. She tried to recall for a while before remembering that it was the day before yesterday, when a casual remark caused a misunderstanding.
Regardless, she had already made plans with Shirou for the next few weeks of her vacation to go on a picnic or work out together at the gym; she'd been learning boxing recently. And even if she had free time, she'd rather spend it on something more fun.
"Is... is that so... is that so..." the male team leader replied somewhat awkwardly.
Chapter 583 Shizuka boy encounters a love rival
Shizuka Hiratsuka, a top student at a teachers' college, has long, shiny black hair that flows over her shoulders. Although she doesn't wear any special makeup, her pretty features and youthful, radiant appearance make her seem to be Gil.
He possesses a unique and vibrant spirit (passionate) in his eyes and brows. He is warm and generous to others. Although he comes from a wealthy family, he has never shown any signs of abusing his power. He always focuses on the issue, not the person, and has his own set of principles. He has a completely different temperament from those flashy and pretentious bitches. (Monthly fee group 694936135)
Not to mention, such an outstanding and beautiful girl, in the prime of her youth as a college student, possesses a more alluring femininity than a high school student, yet retains some innocence compared to a mature woman in society. Naturally, she easily attracts the attention of men around her.
It's like being confessed to by a boy playing guitar downstairs at school, or being in the library where a boy will always pull out a few books of poetry or philosophy and pretend to read them aloud.
Of course, this wasn't Shizuka Hiratsuka asked them to do; it was just the wishful thinking of bored college boys. Sometimes, it was just a coincidence that their eyes met, or that they were smiling and looking in that direction, which could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
So Shizuka Hiratsuka just smiled at these guys, not even bothering to express her gratitude. After all, she didn't need a backup plan, nor did she want any goblins. If they got along, they could be buddies; if not, then goodbye, nothing more to say.
"Well... I'll go out for a bit." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled at the male leader and prepared to leave. As she went out, she patted the shoulder of the female teacher who had seemed quite interested in the male leader earlier and whispered, "Ah, Teacher Nishimura, it seems that Higashiko-sensei is looking for her friends to watch the soccer game."
Teacher Nishimura's eyes lit up at the mention of the invitation, and she moved closer to the male team leader, saying, "What? You're inviting me to a game, teacher? I'm fine with either baseball or basketball! I'm free, absolutely free!"
"Is that so... then you can have both tickets." The male team leader placed the football match tickets in the female teacher's hand and turned to leave, looking annoyed.
"Huh? Wouldn't it be pointless for me to go alone?" Teacher Nishimura was a little dumbfounded holding the two tickets, but when she looked at the tickets clearly, she smiled happily.
"Ah, first class seats. These two teams seem to be quite famous. Let's try listing them online."
On the other side, the male team leader, who had failed to invite the team, angrily walked towards the balcony. He hurriedly combed his bangs, then let them fall down again, and then combed them up forcefully again. He had never failed as much in his life as he had today!
Dongguo Xiaofu is twenty-seven years old this year. He has a calm personality and comes from a prestigious family. He is the youngest child in his family. His family has been involved in the education system for generations. His father is a high-ranking official in the education department, his mother is a well-bred lady from a traditional literary and artistic family, his brother is a university professor, and his sister is the principal of an English training school that caters to children who want to go to sea.
So he followed the established path and went to a teachers' college, becoming a People's Teacher and eventually a school principal, or transferring to the education department to serve as an official in the field of culture and education.
In his otherwise unremarkable teaching career, a turning point arrived. It was the Ministry of Education, which had originally assigned him a task to boost his political achievements, but he never expected to meet such an extraordinary woman there.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, a lady of high birth, possesses a cheerful personality that even men would envy, along with a passion for education and an enthusiastic attitude towards learning. Completely different from the corrupt teaching practices of the time, she shines like a lotus flower rising from the mud, untouched by its surroundings.
He was captivated by the woman the moment he saw her. He wanted to marry her, and their families were well-matched, so his family wouldn't object. It was as if heaven was smiling upon him.
However, to her surprise, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed completely uninterested in him. She only regarded him as a senior colleague, and if she got too close, he would only alienate her.
If the woman doesn't currently intend to get married, Dongguo feels he can wait and continue their relationship with marriage in mind.
But what he saw was... the woman who was usually so serious and unsmiling in front of him, revealing a completely unguarded, genuine smile to a middle school boy.
