The more they spoke, the stranger it got.
It felt like some kind of job involving selling one's body. Hayato and Kobayashi Ayaka both frowned, about to deliver righteous justice to Phone Guy.
Phone Guy must have felt a chill envelop him. Although he didn't know why, he quickly aimed his screen at the two of them.
Hayato and Kobayashi Ayaka leaned in to look together, and then realized:
"You are the star of tomorrow! X Magazine is recruiting high-quality models, male and female, no experience necessary, absolutely confidential, no impact on family."
Models, huh...
Hayato and Kobayashi Ayaka looked at Phone Guy together.
Kobayashi Ayaka scrutinized him from head to toe, then offered an encouraging smile:
"Give up, if you don't want to become a laughingstock."
"...."
Phone Guy's face flushed red, and he grumbled: "I know, I know! So I never even intended to go!"
Kobayashi Ayaka looked closely at the job description again and couldn't help but exclaim: "The hourly wage is so high!"
"Right, right." Phone Guy said: "If it were Ayaka-senpai and Kobayashi-kun, I feel like they could earn this money..."
Actually, Miyajima Sakura could also do it, but Miyajima Senior looked like a very traditional woman.
She wouldn't be interested in this kind of fashion magazine, let alone something that involves being in the public eye.
The two trendsetters in front of them were different.
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh." Kobayashi Ayaka gave a cold laugh: "I'm not going."
She hadn't worked many part-time jobs.
Although her family wasn't extremely wealthy, they lived comfortably. She didn't need to earn money for now.
And even if she did work, she would only perform, not sell herself.
"Hahahahahahaha, when have I ever been?" Hayato said. He was different, he would sell himself, not perform.
Magazine modeling was right in the middle, in a Schrödinger's cat-like superposition of selling or not selling.
"Is an hourly wage that high legitimate?" Kobayashi Ayaka asked.
"Of course it's legitimate." Phone Guy said: "X Magazine is a famous old brand in Tokyo. Many models have come out of there, for example..."
Just as he was about to say something, Miyajima Sakura also responded and came over.
"What are you guys talking about?" she asked with a smile.
She was clearly in a good mood.
After hearing her grandfather and mother say that her uncle would never bother them again, although she didn't know what had happened, a huge weight had finally been lifted from Miyajima Sakura's heart. Even her smile no longer had its usual strained quality.
"...Part-time job?" Miyajima Sakura asked after catching a few words: "Why did you think of getting a part-time job?"
She wasn't close to Phone Guy, but she knew this member often reported to the Kendo Club and was a diligent person, so he shouldn't have other extracurricular activities normally.
Phone Guy looked mournful:
"After this parent-teacher conference, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on myself..."
"No way?" Hayato said: "Are your grades very bad recently?"
"They're okay, I only dropped three places in the grade." Phone Guy said.
"That's not too much of a drop." Hayato comforted, then asked: "What's your current ranking?"
"Two hundred sixty-first." Phone Guy said.
"Alright, you can go die." Hayato said. There were only two hundred sixty-two people in their grade in total.
The last guy seemed to have a stomachache and didn't come to the exam.
He originally thought Anshi Seiji was already invincible, but he didn't expect there to be another hidden talent here.
The future of Baiqiu High School is bright, indeed!
"So I suspect I'll have to eat dirt," Mr. Hayashi sighed.
"I have a plan," Hayato said, patting Mr. Hayashi's shoulder comfortingly.
"Oh? You have a plan too?" Mr. Hayashi's eyes lit up. Hayato's talent surpassed his by more than tenfold, so he was sure to come up with a strategy to defeat the strong enemy.
"Recently, someone has been growing vegetables on the rooftop, like tomatoes. You could go steal some," Hayato said.
"There's such a thing!" Mr. Hayashi was first happy, then worried: "No, if the person growing the vegetables finds out, I'll probably be pushed into the sink and beaten."
Hayato smiled: "I told you to steal dirt, not vegetables. The soil for growing vegetables must be fertile and rich."
Mr. Hayashi: QAQ
"... Alas," the others also sighed, "The family discussion session... Alas..."
When they talked about this matter, they all detested it deeply.
Japan's "family discussion session," which is also known as a "parent-teacher conference," is actually more common in kindergarten and elementary school. In high school, although the PTA association—the so-called PTA is the English abbreviation for Parent-Teacher Association—still exists, representatives are mostly sent to contact teachers and ask about student safety, rarely concerning themselves with grades.
This discussion session, however, required at least one representative from all parents to attend, and if possible, they would even have individual talks with teachers from each subject, which was truly terrifying.
"I heard it's a custom learned from a distant, ancient country," someone said.
