Part-Time Work Permit Revoked (End)

"Part-time Job Permit revoked."

Tanaka Yukishin frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"Wasn't that already made clear back then?"

"Because the rewards have changed."

Is this school reluctant to give points?

Tanaka Yukishin was a little puzzled.

Such a unique currency, which cannot be widely used, is naturally not as valuable as the 1:1 exchange rate with the Japanese yen that the homeroom teacher mentioned in class.

You can't even bear to part with this?

Looking at Tanaka Yukishin's expression, Sakayanagi Narimori Shigemori's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"In addition to the originally planned 100,000 points per person, there are two other rewards that you can choose one of. But before we talk about the rewards, I'd like to ask Tanaka a question first."

"Speaking"

"You've lived in this school for two months now, so you should have a good understanding of it. What do you think of the school's educational philosophy and operating mechanism?"

"Um..."

Tanaka Yukishin thought for a while before speaking.

"The guiding principle is strength above all else. The operational mechanism involves creating a simulated society environment through a closed campus."

"Like a processing plant, students are processed through a series of targeted refinements on an assembly line, and qualified and excellent products are shipped out to the steel jungle of society."

"In terms of evaluation, it's just average; there are quite a few obvious flaws."

Upon hearing this, Sakayanagi Narimori's eyes lit up, and an approving expression appeared on his face.

He stood up and gently clapped his hands.

"Although your words are somewhat sharp, in essence, it's pretty much the same as what Erling..."

In a normal society, who cares whether you can make money in other ways besides working for the country?

It will not be the case that ordinary students can meet the Student Council whenever they want, or that ordinary citizens can meet high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

After a pause, Sakayanagi Narimori suddenly fixed his sharp gaze on Tanaka Yukishin.

Has anyone special contacted you recently?

"What exactly is the chairman referring to?"

Sakayanagi Narimori smiled apologetically and waved his hand.

"Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Since Tanaka -kun just told me your opinion on the school, Tanaka 'll tell you what the school used to be like."

Sakayanagi Narimori leaned back in his chair and began to speak slowly.

Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School was established 32 years ago.

It officially started operation 30 years ago.

Its purpose at that time was for the future of Japan.

In other words, it served as a training ground for the children of those in positions of power.

The ratio of ordinary students to children of the privileged was 7:1.

By sharpening each other's skills, we make each other's blades even sharper.

"Etc?"

Tanaka Yukishin suddenly realized the problem.

His face showed surprise and confusion.

"First of all, the restrictions on the children of the powerful and wealthy are definitely different from those on ordinary students. Secondly, what gives ordinary students the right to compete with the children of the powerful and wealthy?"

Sakayanagi Narimori smiled, nodded, and then shook his head.

He stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Tanaka Yukishin.

"You reacted quickly and focused on the key points. However, you lack experience."

"Admittedly, the children of the powerful and wealthy are not equal to ordinary students. The powerful and wealthy can be harmed, but ordinary students can be maimed."

"But this is a school. There are elders watching, so they won't go too far."

At this point, Sakayanagi Narimori turned around and looked at Tanaka Yukishin.

"As for your second question, have you ever heard of Hiroshi Yamauchi?"

Tanaka Yukishin shook her head, her eyes filled with curiosity as she asked.

"Who is he?"

"A big shot. The Club President of Nintendo."

Sakayanagi Narimori continued recounting a business deal involving Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Nintendo established its taxi service, "Diamond Taxi," in 1960.

At that time, Hiroshi Yamauchi purchased high-priced Nissan cars for operation, provided formal training for drivers, and set fares for hourly fares that were much lower than his competitors, which allowed him to almost completely dominate the taxi market in Kyoto Osaka for a time.

The taxi company's booming business aroused jealousy from its competitors and the labor union.

In order to get a share of the profits, they secretly instructed the drivers to threaten a strike to demand higher wages.

Hiroshi Yamauchi patiently negotiated with the union, but after several back-and-forths, he was finally angered by the union's exorbitant demands and simply shut down the taxi company.

"This incident shows that Japan is a country where powerful families, conglomerates, academic cliques, and ordinary citizens check and balance each other. Of course, the power of ordinary citizens is somewhat weaker."

"Therefore, ordinary students are also qualified to compete with the children of the powerful and wealthy, even though they have some inherent disadvantages."

"Well, let's hope those seniors aren't afraid of being purged by the children of the powerful after graduation, and bravely move forward."

After hearing about Hiroshi Yamauchi's deeds, Tanaka Yukishin remained unconvinced.

In his view, Hiroshi Yamauchi withdrew voluntarily, rather than being forced to withdraw when he had no other choice.

What kind of "victory or defeat" is this?

It's simply a personal choice at best.

Sakayanagi Narimori looked at him, smiled helplessly, and tapped him lightly twice with his finger.

"You really don't understand that era."

The heavy scent of sandalwood wafted slowly through the office, and the portrait of the acting chairman hanging on the wall seemed to be watching the conversation.

The generation of people from the Showa era had a strong sense of integrity.

They dare to fight, dare to venture, and even dare to compete with the children of the powerful and wealthy within the rules.

Sakayanagi Narimori does not deny that they also resort to underhanded tactics.

But at school, under the explicit rules, they will compete in a measured way.

Yes, the children of the powerful and wealthy can indeed settle scores with ordinary students who don't give them face after graduation.

But the question is—can they eliminate their rivals, who are also children of the powerful and wealthy?

If this happens, you'll only become a laughingstock, and be ridiculed to your face for the rest of your life.

Moreover, the elders are watching.

If someone truly can't accept defeat and seeks revenge after graduation, that's tantamount to ruining their future.

"How can someone who can't even afford to lose in school expect to win in society?"

--This was the creed of that era.

"The beginning of any field is always dark and chaotic, a period of unchecked growth. Only then can a perfect order be gradually established."

As someone who has witnessed firsthand the transformation of Advanced Nurturing High School from chaos to order, Sakayanagi Narimori is filled with emotion as he reflects on the changes over the past few decades.

He turned and walked toward the bookshelf, his fingers tracing the rows of gilded spines.

The office suddenly became so quiet that you could hear the pages of a book turning.

"So, the chairman told me all this for the purpose of...?"

Tanaka Yukishin broke the silence.

"It's very simple."

Sakayanagi Narimori closed the school history book in his hand with a soft "snap".

Then he said calmly, "There can only be one voice in a group, but there can be different ideas."

The Advanced Nurturing system is no longer suitable for today's social environment and atmosphere.

As the rules have been improved, its original purpose has changed from a "sharpening stone" to a "processing plant".

"But some people always live in the past and are unwilling to embrace the future."

At this point, Sakayanagi Narimori's tone turned colder, "They long to return this school to its former state."

"Wait a minute, Chairperson." Tanaka Yukishin frowned. "Even if some school leaders wanted to push through the history section, the students wouldn't agree. So, there's absolutely no need to worry."

Sakayanagi Narimori shook his head, took off his glasses, and slowly wiped the lenses with a silk handkerchief.

No, I'm not worried.

When he put his glasses back on, his gaze became exceptionally sharp. "As an educator, I simply hope that students can receive a better education, instead of participating in meaningless and brutal competition."

"But isn't the current competition just as useless?"

Tanaka Yukishin looked directly into the chairman's eyes, her voice tinged with unusual surprise.

After a moment of silence, Sakayanagi Narimori suddenly asked, "Do you know why employees of major Japan companies don't do their jobs properly during their first year?"

Tanaka Yukishin was taken aback, then shook her head.

"It's about refinement, about adaptation," he said slowly. "And Advanced Nurturing High School have already undergone this refinement process, saving a step."

This statement is cold-blooded to the point of being cruel.

Just moments ago, they were saying, "As educators, we hope students can receive a better education," but in the blink of an eye, they've compared students to "tools that have been prematurely molded."

Tanaka Yukishin was speechless for a moment.

He suddenly realized that in this school, both the brutal competition of the past and the meticulous rules of today were essentially just part of the "selection" process.

The selection criterion has never been "growth," but rather "achievements."

"Okay, so now I understand. The 'special' the chairman was referring to were those Nostalgia Faction leaders. But no."

He realized Sakayanagi Narimori's intention, and his mind quickly flashed through everyone he had met in the past month.

Then a firm answer.

"Then let's go back to the two-option reward."

"100 Class Points or a three-year Part-time Job Permit for 10 people. Which would you choose?"

Is this considered taking sides?

Tanaka Yukishin a little curious.

However, he wasn't in the mood to think about these scheming and backstabbing matters.

The reason he didn't cause trouble from a young age, but instead persisted in ascetic practice.

I just don't want to waste time on these meaningless or even internally draining things.

All these twists and turns cannot compare to the advancements in classical mechanics.

People die when they are killed; that's the quickest way to solve the problem.

"I'll choose Part-time Job Permit for 10 people."

Tanaka Yukishin's voice was clear and firm.

Sakayanagi Narimori remained silent.

One's meaning should be clearly expressed.
