Chapter 32: Cram School
"Reina-chan, how are you thinking about the cram school?"
On the way home from school, Shizuka suddenly asks Reina about the cram school. In fact, before this, Shizuka also asked about Reina's cram school. Shizuka and Reina live not too far apart, and after the last fight, their friendship has been rigorously tested and sublimated. Therefore, the relationship is naturally closer than that of other classmates.
"I'm sorry, my brother has been coming home late these days, and I haven't had time to mention this matter to him yet!"
After Shizuka's reminder, Reina suddenly said with some embarrassment. But to be honest, Reina doesn't really want to go to cram school. Because once she really has to go to cram school, she can't have dinner with her brother every day. Cram school basically doesn't end until around 8:00 p.m.,In that case,Reina will be close to 9:00 when she gets home.,There's no way to have dinner with my brother at all.,
But then again, with liberal education policies, the things taught in schools are simply not enough to prepare for university entrance exams. If you want to be admitted to university smoothly, it is absolutely essential to go to a cram school for targeted study. Therefore, in Tokyo, students who really want to go to university will spend their spare time in endless cram schools.
"Reina-chan, you don't plan to go to cram school, do you?
Shizuka saw Reina's attitude, and couldn't help but emphasize the importance of going to college to Reina.
"If you don't want to get married early, and you can only be accompanied by endless housework from now on, you should try to make college your goal!"
"Of course, I will take going to university as my guide, but if I go to cram school, my brother will be very pitiful, eating alone every day......
Reina told her friend about her worries, to be honest, the time she spent eating with her brother every night was the happiest time for Reina, and if she went to cram school, would her brother have to go to an izakaya every day for dinner?
"There's no way around it, but we can choose a cram school close to home......!
"If that's the case, it's not that you can't think about it!But wouldn't it be too early to go to cram school since middle school?" Reina was obviously a little moved by Shizuka's words, but she still hadn't finally made up her mind.
"Reina-chan, although we can go directly to our high school as a member of Morimura School, Morimura Junior High School is not very high in the Tokyo area. If possible, you still have to strive to get into a better high school, so that you have a greater chance of getting into a prestigious school. So cram school is absolutely necessary......"
Shizuka said earnestly to Reina. To be honest, when she was in Aomori, Reina never thought about going to university. After all, there are no high schools in Hirama with a high admission rate, and most people go straight to work after graduating from high school. But after arriving in Tokyo, with the support of her brother, many things that Reina couldn't have imagined in the past have become a reality. This also made Reina yearn for university life. Either way, becoming a good person like her brother seems to have unknowingly become the goal that Rena set for herself.
"Shizuka-chan, have you figured out which cram school to enroll in?"
Reina thought seriously for a long time, and finally decided to participate in cram school with Shizuka, in fact, when she first came to Tokyo, Reina had studied in a cram school for a while, and at that time Reina was mainly to prepare for the entrance exam of a private high school. However, after being admitted, Reina did not continue to participate in the follow-up courses of the cram school.
"I want to go to Suruga Juku, and I've heard that the teachers there are very good, and many of them are active students of the University of Tokyo?
"The difficulty is too high, in fact, I am already very satisfied as long as I am admitted to university!"
Reina replied with some embarrassment, she really felt that her ambition was nothing compared to Shizuka.
The two of them chatted all the way to their home, and when they were on the way, they happened to pass by the cram school Suruga Juku that they had just mentioned. Because it was still early, and both Rena and Shizuka were interested in attending the cram school here, they simply stopped by themselves when they passed by the door, and then walked into the Suruga Juku store for some consultation.
"Excuse me, what kind of cram school do you want to attend?" The young lady in charge of the reception warmly asked Reina and Shizuka about their intentions.
"We want to participate in the day school, I don't know if there is a ...... suitable for middle school students"
Just when the two of them were consulting with the sister who was in charge of receiving them, a man who happened to be passing by saw Shizuka and suddenly said in surprise:
"Ah, Shizuka-san, how did you get here?"
Shizuka and Reina turned around in the direction of the sound, and Shizuka immediately said in surprise, "Ah, Tomosaka-sensei, why are you here?"
"I'm a tutor at Suruga Juku now.,How Shizuka-san, do you want to come here to participate in extracurricular tutoring?"
As soon as Mr. Tomosaka saw that he had met his past students, he hurriedly handed over the textbooks and lesson plans in his hand to his assistant teacher Ono, and then walked straight towards Shizuka and them.
"Shizuka-san, who is this classmate?"
Teacher Tomosaka saw Reina sitting next to Shizuka, and then asked Reina curiously.
"This is my good friend, Reina-chan, who just transferred from Aomori......" Shizuka quickly got up and said to her former teacher, Tomosaka, and at the same time, Reina also quickly got up and saluted Tomosaka-sensei.
"That's good, Shizuka-san, it's really not easy to finally make friends at school!" As an insider and a former member of Morimura Middle School, Mr. Tomosaka still knows a lot about Shizuka's past.
"That's thanks to Mr. Tomosaka for speaking out to us at the beginning, but I'm so sorry that you ended up losing your job......
"Forget it, it's all in the past......"
