Chapter 38: Kamikawa Ren's Talent?
"Not talking?"
Ren didn't think he was short of words.
He answered every question asked by Mafuyu, could this still be considered a short talk?
"That's right," Mafuyu nodded slightly.
Even though Ren answered every question she asked, it was only an answer.
Apart from that, nothing else was said.
It's almost like a robot just responding.
After thinking about it, Mafuyu reminded: "I hope you can communicate more with other students in the future and try to change. It doesn't matter if you can't."
She didn't mean to force him to fix the problem of not talking to others much, because she knew that this was Ren's character.
A person's character takes a long time to develop, but it cannot be changed overnight.
Additionally, as a teacher, she didn't communicate much with other people in high school.
She still understood the principle of not doing to others what you would not want others to do to you.
So she just hopes, not demands.
It's good to make corrections, and it's okay even if you fail, it's just an experiment.
Mafuyu just wants her students to get better.
"I see."
Ren took the second part of his words very seriously.
It doesn't matter if you can't do it, this sentence touched his heart.
That's what he always does.
If you're faced with a question you don't know the answer to, just keep quiet. If you meet someone you can't handle, choose to run away. If you face a dilemma where you can't make a choice, just blame other people.
It is precisely with this attitude that he can live like an ordinary person to this day.
The first half of Mafuyu's words were selectively ignored by Ren.
If he could do it, he would have done it long ago without her having to say anything.
"Um."
Mafuyu was very happy to see Ren accept her suggestion so easily.
He was a very obedient student.
Mafuyu suddenly remembered something and asked him: "I remember you took notes in class, right?"
She paid special attention to him during the lecture, so Ren's deeds were naturally not hidden from her eyes.
"Yes."
Ren wasn't at all surprised when Mafuyu found out about this.
"Have you brought back your notebook?" Mafuyu asked next.
"Um."
"Then take it and let me take a look. I will help you check if there are any errors."
She plans to help Ren with his homework as a reward for his help.
Otherwise, it would be too careless to treat him to a mug of coffee as a thank you.
"Bring the notebook too."
"Okay."
Ren stood up and walked out of the room.
He knew his level very well and knew that he didn't need any training.
But he still didn't refuse.
Because according to him, this was a surprise inspection that Mafuyu carried out on him, there was actually no fundamental difference from his usual collection work.
It's just a matter of changing the time to weekends and replacing homework with notes.
If he think about it this way, how could he refuse to be an ordinary high school student?
Ren and Mafuyu live in an apartment on the same floor.
So he came back quickly with notebook.
"Excuse me."
After shouting again, Ren returned to Mafuyu's messy room.
Sitting where he was, he handed the notebook to Mafuyu.
After taking the notebook, Mafuyu opened it and read it.
She needed to ensure Ren's learning progress and then provide targeted tutoring.
However, as she read further, she slowly gave up the idea of helping with tutoring.
Because only from this notebook she could see how seriously Ren listened during class.
All she could say was that he was worthy of being an outside student accepted into Shuchi'in Academy.
There was no need to let her, the teacher, worry about studying.
The most important thing is that the notes made by Ren are very detailed and easy to understand.
In other words, even if an ignorant person who had never taken a history class looked at these notebook, that person could easily understand which parts were important and which parts needed to be remembered.
This allows Mafuyu to see Ren's talent from this notebook.
However, before that, she still needed to confirm whether he truly had talent.
"Kamikawa-san, how long did it take you to compile this notebook?"
According to her, it takes a lot of time to make good notes like that.
"Thirty minutes," Ren answered honestly.
He took notes to spend time in class, so under his deliberate control, it took a long time.
"???"
Mafuyu wondered if she had heard wrong.
If Ren said it would take three hours, she could accept it.
But if it's thirty minutes, that's too much.
Thinking about Ren's usual appearance in class, Mafuyu had a guess in her mind.
"Is this a thirty minute class?"
"Yes." Ren nodded.
If he doesn't take notes during class, when will he do it?
He still had to use his time after class to preview.
"…"
After looking at him for a long time, he really didn't seem to be lying, so Mafuyu chose to remain silent.
Ren is talented and still learning.
The notebook she took were so easy to understand and so fast that they were downright scary.
However, this comforted her.
Because Mafuyu knew that Ren didn't waste his talent, but made full use of it.
In her mind, she took it for granted that Ren was able to enter Shuchi'in Academy mainly because of his hard work and talent.
"Judging from this notebook, you don't need me to give you guidance," Mafuyu returned the notebook to him and encouraged, "I hope you can continue to keep it."
"Um."
To be an ordinary person, Ren will definitely maintain it.
Feeling that time was running out, Ren stood up and said goodbye: "I'll go back first."
"Um."
Mafuyu stood up and walked him to the door.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye to him, Mafuyu closed the door.
Looking at the environment in her room, she felt regretful.
If she knew something like this would happen today, she should have tidied up her room first.
Now it was all seen by her students.
Dignity as a teacher...
This was the first time she let a man into her room.
After returning to the small table and sitting down, looking at the two couples mugs placed on the table, Mafuyu said with great emotion: "I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to use them."
She got this couple's mug while attending a friend's wedding, and she never thought she would use it one day.
And also with her students...
