Akagi Middle School, in the principal's office.

"Okay, okay!"

Principal Gao Tian called with a smile: "When the children finish the exam, we will definitely arrange for you to come over." Interview, no problem! Rong Chun is also the pride of our Akagi......"

Finally coped with another one!

Principal Takada lay tired in his office chair.

On the table in front of him, there were two photographs. One is a photo of him and his family, and the other is freshly washed. In front of the school building of Akagi Middle School, Takada and the entire baseball team took a group photo.

Takada opened his eyes and looked at the photo that had just been washed out yesterday in a daze. In the photo, he is sitting in the first row, surrounded by the children of the baseball team and the two teachers Sanno and Takada.

Sawamura wrapped his arms around his neck and smiled brightly.

Beside Sawamura, Azuki Wakana said something with a calm face.

As a group photo, this one doesn't seem to be rigorous enough. But when people get older, they are inevitably stubborn. Just like Takada, he loved the picture. Seeing this photo, he feels like he's there at all times.

"Headmaster!"

Just when Takada was stunned, the door was pushed open, and a chubby middle-aged man walked in.

Gao Tian was stunned by the noise, raised his eyes and looked over, just in time to see the other party.

"Isn't this our great hero, Mr. Sano?"

Sano didn't have the ridicule of the principal, and asked urgently, "Is the handling opinion of the merger school down?" ”

Takada nodded.

"How?"

"We're merging with Akagi West."

Takada said, sighing. It is difficult for him to understand the thoughts of young people nowadays, and the island country can even be said to be the entire Oriental world, which has always advocated more children and more blessings. But now I don't know what's wrong, the times have developed, life has improved, and society has progressed, but everyone doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about having children as before. There are two in a family, even if it is very good, and even some young people don't want a child.

In addition to the declining birth rate, there are many young people who are not willing to stay in small towns for the rest of their lives, and their families have migrated to cities.

For these reasons, there are fewer and fewer students in small towns. Of the three middle schools in the Akagi area, one school originally had 2 to 300 students enrolled every school year. Now, the enrollment rate of Akagi Middle School has dropped by half.

With the degree of the islanders, they would not waste resources on the two schools, so the mayor decided to merge Akagi and Akagi West. From the perspective of a town leader, he was justified in making such a decision.

But as the principal and teacher of Akagi Middle School, they are naturally not happy about such a thing.

As mentioned earlier, the spirit of bushido in the island nation. Not only employers have such ideas, but even the vast majority of employees also have the same thoughts.

Their dismissal is completely different from our kind of resignation or dismissal, if you really want to use an analogy, it is a bit like the layoff of a state-owned enterprise 20 years ago.

No one, facing layoffs, is happy.

Takata's problem is not just as simple as facing layoffs. He has devoted his whole life to this school, and now that this school is about to be abandoned, his feelings are inevitably more complicated.

"We've given the town such a big win! Mayor He...? ”

Sano asked indignantly.

"So, for the last two years, this will not be announced. At least before Sawamura graduates, the mayor will never announce it. He didn't want Sawamura to be affected by the rumors during the game. ”

"Our school in Akagi is the oldest school in the Akagi area."

Sano also wants to fight, after all, this country has a tradition of respecting the old school. Compared with Akagi, Akagi West is as tender as a doll.

"Yes, we are old enough, but our teaching facilities are also very old. The school building is also very old......"

Takada's voice drifted away, making Sano's heart uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.

While abandoning Akagi Middle School, he also has to force the baseball team of Akagi Middle School to produce results, and the mayor of the town is too calculating.

"Damn!"

Sano slapped the table angrily, and then sat down opposite Principal Takada in a dejected manner.

Takada was very open-minded, smiled tiredly, and didn't say anything.

"For the sake of those children, we also have to do the logistics."

Whether it's Takada or Sano, once Akagi Middle School is abandoned, it will inevitably face an uncertain future. But even so, they didn't give up on Sawamura, and they spared no effort to play well for the baseball team.

Whether it is an island country or our country, there are such teachers. They may be unknown, but they have contributed their strength to the future of the country.

Let's pay tribute to these teachers!

After two days of hard work, Sawamura's final exam is finally over.

In total, there are only about 100 students, but there are more than a dozen teachers. Their task of correcting the papers is not heavy at all. However, after half a day's work, all the test papers were corrected and proofread and sent to the hands of Akagi's friends.

Sawamura's grades are very good, and Chinese and mathematics have passed the score line. Especially in English, his results are even more eye-catching. Sawamura's English test actually took second place in the class, only two points less than Wakana.

"Did you copy it?"

Wakana asked in person.

Sawamura shrugged: "This is my strength!" ”

In his previous life, he had been in the big league for ten years, and after more than 3,000 days and nights, Sawamura's English was still good. If it weren't for the rigidity of the content of the exam, Sawamura would have taken the first place!

English education extends from developed areas to the periphery, and the more marginal the area, the lower the average level. It's not that the children don't work hard enough, it's just that their environment and resources make it difficult for them to compare with students in developed regions.

A rural place like Akagi is not a tourist mecca. Throughout the year, there are very few foreigners to see. If there is no environment that needs to be used, how can they learn well?

Under the pull of English, Sawamura's overall score is not bad. There are one hundred and twenty-five students in the whole grade, and Sawamura ranks fifty-three, and the middle is on the upper side!

The friends were very surprised, their captain seemed to have never studied except baseball, but he didn't expect his grades to be good.

The friends looked at Sawamura with admiration, and Sawamura himself was ashamed to death.

After being reborn, he was determined to study hard and make progress every day.

Unexpectedly, the final result turned out to be like this.

What a shame!

Fortunately, Sawamura is not alone. He's not the worst among his friends. In addition to English, Sawamura's scores in other subjects were not very high, but he did not fail the subject. And among the friends, not all of them are as lucky as Sawamura.

"Tell me, brother. What's going on? ”

in the classroom.

Sawamura crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the difficult brothers in front of him, and asked with a smile.

In front of him, Ashin and Yamaguchi, one by one, were like mourners, drooping their faces and not speaking.
