I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
#5.Ousei Gakuen ~ part 1
As I tried to understand the rapid development of the situation so far, I realized that we had arrived at the front gate of "Ousei Gakuen". The incredible thing, which seemed to be in the western castle that you could never think of as the school gate, jumped into my eyes. Not only that but on the other side of the gate, there was a school building and a spacious courtyard so large that it could only be seen as a palace.
No, well, um... These big.
“Welcome to “Ousei Gakuen”!”
Houjou-san said that to the dumbfounded me, with a smile. And while I was in a somewhat dreamy state of mind, he led me through the school gates. It seemed like we arrived when the homeroom was about to start because I couldn't see the students walking in the corridor except for us.
“U-um... Are you okay?” I told.
"What's that?"
“Yah... It seems like there are no students around, it seems like the homeroom has already started..”.
As a coward, I was too afraid to be late, so I wondered if it was okay if he was late. But instead, Houjou-san laughed elegantly.
“Fufufu. Its alright. As I said before coming here, the chairman of this school board is my father. And also I've told the school before that I'm going to be late today, so it's okay. ”
"So so…"
It seems like it was just my unnecessary anxiety. It was good then. If he gets scolded for me, I'll be very sorry.
Nevertheless, the chairman of the school board is that big, yes... I thought Houjou-san's behavior was elegant, but as I thought, he really is a rich man. The elegance? I guess that's something he has. As for me, I was filled with the aura of that poor man. Oh, come to think of it. I had to stop by the supermarket on my way home because there was an egg sale today.
When I followed Houjou-san while thinking about such ordinary people's thoughts, we arrived at the door that was written as the Chairman's Office before I realized it. Houjou-san knocked on the door, then I heard the voice of a graceful man from inside.
"Lake in."
"Excuse me."
"E-excuse me!"
I replied with all the strength in my body and entered the room following Houjou-san.
Inside, there was a leather sofa, a light brown table that was suitable, a table to do the task, which everyone could see as good quality, which was good, and then a cool middle-aged man sat behind the table. That man must be Houjou-san's father. When I look at them up close, I can feel them looking the same. The man looked surprised for a moment when he saw me when I entered the room, but he immediately greeted me with a gentle look.
"I'm glad you came. I am Tsukasa Houjou the chairman of this "Ousei Gakuen. Tenjou Yuuya-kun. I've heard of you from my daughter, Kaori. Thank you for saving my daughter.”
After a polite greeting, she lowered her head, I was confused and quickly told her to lift it.
“T-please lift your head! I'm not very helpful.”.
“No, no matter what you think, you must have taken action at that moment. That's something to be proud of.”
“That's right, Yuuya-san. Again, thank you very much."
When they told me that, it left an embarrassing impression on me.
"I understand."
"… Thank you."
They raised their heads because I had received their gratitude. And I asked something that bothered me.
“In retrospect, why was Houjou-san alone back then? Does he not have a companion or.”.
“Yuuya-san, you don't need to be too formal to call me Houjou-san like that, please just call me Kaori, honor or honorary degree is not required, know?”
“Eh!? But…"
“My daughter says she's fine, and since you're the same age, you don't need to be too respectful, do you?”
“Yeah, I think you're right..”
I replied so while thinking it was amazing, Houjou-san.
“Now Yuuya-kun, about your question earlier, I want Kaori to live a normal life, and she has no companion since she was young.”
“That's what I want personally. I wouldn't be able to be independent if there was always my companion, and I don't need them to find a job either, right? But because of that one case before, I have to take it with me now. ” Kaori said as she looked at the woman in the appearance of the butler.
“I feel sorry too, but she's still my daughter. He matters to me.”
"So so…"
The rich have their own problems. Especially, a poor person like me is unlikely to be kidnapped because there will be no ransom or dirt, but if you are rich, you are at risk. No, I think kidnapping is very dangerous. It was a teaser at that time, but still, they were also on the same bad team as Araki and the others, and the security around there could not be said either.
“Well now, I've already told Yuuya-kun to come here, but you've heard the reason, haven't you?”
“Y-yes, I was asked to move to “Ousei Gakuen”'s.”
The chief nodded as I answered that.
"That's right. For me, I want you to register on this “Ousei Gakuen”.... How? Of course, this is also an expression of my gratitude for saving my daughter, so you don't have to worry about tuition. ”
“It! Even so, you don't have to go that far.”.
“I told you, didn't I? She's my important daughter. It's a lot of cheap. ”
The chairman said that while laughing, Kaori's cheeks flushed in embarrassment hearing that. They are good fathers and sons. It's really a big difference from my home.
"So what are you going to do?"
"I... Is it okay for me to go to the same school as geniuses?"
“Ousei Gakuen” is a school so famous that no one does not know about this school in Japan. That is why most of the people who play an active role in Japan and the world come from this school. In other words, a small part of the existence is chosen... A school where the only genius can attend. But, I don't have the special skills to be in such a school.
The chairman spoke in a soft tone, asking me who was looking down.
“Yuuya-kun's chat. What kind of person do you think 'genius' means?”
“Eh? …Someone who can do anything?”
"That's right. And I think a genius is someone who does things and finds the right answers and the right efforts in less time than others. On the other hand, you are with someone else. If you try, you will get closer to the truth.”
“….”
“Of course, other than genius, there will be different talents. But it's not something you can decide from a young age like you. Try a lot of things, have fun.it is still not too late to try. And this school was built because I wanted those young people to have a lot of experience. So, you don't have to underestimate yourself. From now on, you just need to face yourself slowly.”
The chairman's words have seeped into my heart. No one ever told me that except for Grandpa. No matter what I did, I was compared to Youta and Sora, and whatever I did, I was branded incompetent, and after my grandfather died, I could only accept it. That's why I was shaken because there was still someone who told me like that ...
The chairman suggested one thing when various feelings swirled within me and confused me.
“Yes, you must have been distracted when told things so suddenly. So how about experiencing it, attending this school for just one day today?”
“Eh?”
Suddenly a stupid voice came out from me, but the chairman continued to smile without a care.
“If you want to feel this school today and decide to go into the school, I will officially welcome you again then.”
I was dumbfounded by such a proposal and suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“It looks like he's here.. Login.”.
"Thank you."
It was a woman who appeared while saying that. She was a woman wearing a lab coat with a lethargic impression, and she wore a worn shirt under the coat.
Moreover, as his shirt was plain and fell onto his shoulder, his chest... Was he really wearing something under that!? I can't see her bra strap!? No, it would trouble me if I could see the rope!
The chairman smiled bitterly as I was surprised to see the overall weak impression of the woman.
“You are still the same as always.. Yuuya-kun, I want you to have experience class in this ladies class.”.
"So so. Well, don't be so nervous. Sensei will teach you correctly.”
“U-umm...”
I wonder if it's okay. I couldn't say anything, but when I was clogged with words, the chairman spoke in exceptional circumstances.
“... Well, you may have a lot to say, but even though he looks like this and he has the mindset of a scientist. Classes are also easy to understand and popular with students. Because it's just relax, don't be nervous.”
"That's right. Sensei is amazing.”
“...Good if you can feel comfortable.”
It worries me even more, you know!
Despite all the worries about the atmosphere of the chairman and the lab-clad woman, I will experience studying at "Ousei Gakuen" today for a day.
