Just when Haru felt strange, Mafuyu Kirisu noticed Haru outside.
Seeing Haru, the coldness in her eyes immediately dissipated quite a bit, and her stern face also became somewhat gentler:
"Come in, Haru."
"Kirisu-sensei."
Haru gave a dry laugh and walked in, sitting beside Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata.
Only then did he understand why the atmosphere was so tense.
He saw that on the test papers in front of Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, there were still pitifully low single-digit scores.
It had been more than a week of tutoring, and in the two subjects that Mafuyu Kirisu was tutoring, Haru's grades had progressed from just over sixty points to one subject with a perfect score and another close to perfect.
However, Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata had basically made no progress.
Any teacher would be angry about this.
Not to mention there was Haru's example of rapid progress right here.
Combined with Mafuyu Kirisu's own circumstances, Haru had already guessed the real situation with about eighty to ninety percent accuracy.
Mafuyu Kirisu looked at Haru with increasingly satisfied eyes, but then, glancing at the other two hanging their heads, Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, a look of frustration flashed through her beautiful eyes.
But she didn't say much more, coldly saying: "Let's begin."
During the tutoring session, Mafuyu Kirisu had earnestly explained all the wrong answers.
After finishing the explanation, she announced:
"Next tutoring session, we'll test World History and Physics. Haru, please stay behind for a moment."
"Goodbye, Kirisu-sensei."
Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata stood up as if relieved of a burden, seeming to want to escape the tutoring room as quickly as possible.
However, hearing that Haru was being kept behind, both looked at Haru with some concern.
"Haru, you've made great progress recently. I can see that you've been working very hard lately."
When only the two of them remained in the classroom, Mafuyu Kirisu's cold gaze became much gentler, her beautiful eyes full of appreciation as she looked at the young man before her.
In just over a week, his grades had improved so rapidly. Such progress undoubtedly made Mafuyu Kirisu very satisfied.
Moreover, since she was responsible for tutoring Haru, this also brought her considerable sense of achievement as a teacher.
"Thanks to Kirisu-sensei's guidance."
Haru smiled slightly and answered modestly.
He knew clearly in his heart that his grade changes were mainly due to cheating, and didn't have that much to do with Mafuyu Kirisu.
But he wouldn't say such things.
After all, Mafuyu Kirisu was giving him free tutoring, and Haru was still grateful to her.
"No need to be too modest, Haru. The biggest reason for your progress is that you work hard enough yourself. My teaching effectiveness isn't that good."
Mafuyu Kirisu smiled faintly. She knew clearly in her heart that even if her tutoring was effective, it wouldn't be possible for an ordinary student to make such great progress.
Obviously, the reason lay with Haru himself.
However, Haru's progress made her think of Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, who had made no progress at all, making her mood even more unpleasant.
"Haru, I kept you behind because I want to ask you to help me with something."
She looked at Haru, her pretty face showing a hint of expectation.
"Does sensei want me to persuade Furuhashi-san and Ogata-san?"
Haru looked directly at Mafuyu Kirisu and smiled slightly, stating his guess.
After all, the atmosphere in the classroom earlier had already explained everything. Haru estimated that before he arrived at the classroom, Mafuyu Kirisu had probably already had some unpleasant conversation with Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata.
"You really are smart, Haru."
Mafuyu Kirisu was first surprised, then looked at Haru approvingly.
She hadn't expected this student to not only have rapidly rising grades but also be so good at reading people's hearts.
If she had such ability, she probably wouldn't have had such a strained relationship with Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata.
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on her face: "That's right, I want Furuhashi and Ogata to give up their boring dreams."
"Their talent in subjects they're not good at is simply terrible."
Her gem-like magnificent eyes fell on Haru, her beautiful eyes full of expectation:
"If they were ordinary students, that would be fine, but they both have talents that surpass ordinary people. Giving up their own talents to do things with absolutely no hope is wasting their precious time!"
Mafuyu Kirisu took a deep breath, then stated the real reason she kept Haru behind:
"Haru, you have a good relationship with Furuhashi and Ogata. I think you clearly understand how talented they are, and you know how wrong it is for them to waste their gifts. So I hope you can persuade them to give up those unrealistic dreams."
If possible, Mafuyu Kirisu certainly wouldn't ask Haru to help her say such things.
But she had already tried to persuade the two before, and as a result, Furuhashi and Ogata had reacted strongly, completely unwilling to listen.
Mafuyu Kirisu thought it was because she was a teacher that made the students rebellious, so she placed her hopes on Haru.
Haru and the two were peers, so the words he said should be something Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata could listen to.
When Mafuyu Kirisu placed her hopes on Haru, she didn't notice that the door to the tutoring room wasn't completely closed.
Outside, two pairs of small ears were quietly eavesdropping on the conversation here.
"That's too much, Kirisu-sensei!"
Outside the tutoring room, both Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata's faces were full of anger and worry.
Before today's tutoring class, Mafuyu Kirisu had demanded that the two give up changing their college preferences, but they had persisted in their opinions and hadn't agreed.
Unexpectedly, Mafuyu Kirisu still wouldn't give up and actually wanted to have Haru persuade them.
"What should we do? Haru won't agree to Kirisu-sensei's request, will he?"
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Rizu Ogata with worry, speaking in a low voice.
"He... he probably won't."
Rizu Ogata said uncertainly, her mood becoming very heavy.
Both knew clearly that actually Mafuyu Kirisu didn't dislike them, but rather was someone who cared about them very much. That's why she was frustrated with them and hoped they wouldn't waste their talents.
So, if Haru, like other people who cared about them, might also agree to Mafuyu Kirisu's request to persuade them.
But this was exactly what they didn't want.
"Persisting in one's dreams isn't wrong."
Rizu Ogata took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes full of determination, "Even if Haru is convinced, I won't change my college preference."
"Me too." Fumino Furuhashi also nodded firmly, but then said worriedly, "But Haru agreed to help us with tutoring. If he agrees with Kirisu-sensei, will he change his mind..."
Rizu Ogata pressed her lips together, her small face also tightening.
This was also what she was worried about.
Although Haru had agreed to them before, with this happening, Haru might very well be convinced by Mafuyu Kirisu and change his mind.
However, both knew in their hearts that not everyone could be like them, persisting in their own opinions in front of the stern Kirisu-sensei.
Especially someone like Haru, such a "good student."
Yes, in the hearts of Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, Haru was a very perfect good student.
Haru's academic progress was rapid, and his teacher-student relationship with Mafuyu Kirisu was much more harmonious than theirs.
How could such a good student refuse a request made by a beautiful teacher?
Moreover, this was for the "good" of his classmates, such a noble reason.
Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata's hearts were filled with despair, their small faces pale.
Both felt that the situation was already decided.
They were already prepared to face a future where they would be abandoned by the whole world, abandoned by Haru.
And at this time, Haru's voice came from inside the door crack.
Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata's hearts immediately seized up—
