Pirate's Freedom

“…Honestly, I was shocked.”

In the teacher's office, the class tutors came back one after another after hosting the class meeting. Porusalino stayed here to drink tea and listen to their thoughts.

"That scene was too surreal." Mashima Tomoya continued calmly.

"Even if you really see someone do such a thing in front of you, it still won't feel real."

"But it's not completely unrealistic, right? It can be done in theory." Porusalino responded with a smile, and came up with a set of words seriously.

"With a certain amount of practice, everyone should be able to do something like cutting a banana with playing cards. The nature of the thing this time is the same, but the accuracy needs to be improved a few levels."

"... Even if Mr. Porusalino says so... No, since Mr. Porusalino says so, then I have to accept and digest this matter."

Mashima Tomoya replied with a serious attitude that showed no signs of expression.

"Oh, it's not over yet, someone else will come."

Porusalino laughed.

"Eh, eh, eh, is it true or false?"

After a dumbfounded voice, the female teacher with slightly curly mid-length hair put down the mirror and said in a lamenting voice.

"Will strange children continue to appear one after another?"

Although I don’t know what the first-year Class B tutor, Hoshinomiya Chie, has been through, it is obvious that her class meeting was not peaceful either.

"It's not that I can't understand your thoughts, but you should think about it objectively."

Putting the things in her hands on the table, Sae Chabashira, who had just walked in, said to her.

"Even if students just enter the society, it is impossible to only deal with the same graduates. In the second year, students will even compete with veterans with 30 or [-] years of experience. Even if the age difference is very far , they may also become opponents, right?”

"Sae is right."

Mashima Tomoya nodded and continued.

"I also told the students in class——"

"If there were suddenly primary school students studying with you in this classroom, would you be able to imagine and accept it?"

"——Although I didn't expect it to become a reality so soon, I also hope that students can correct their perceptions."

"The world is moving towards meritocracy, but many Japanese companies are still constrained by seniority and lifetime employment."

Turning his eyes to the board clips on the table, Sae Chabashira smiled slightly.

"To put it simply, skipping a grade is one of them. This system is taken for granted in the United States, Britain, Germany and other countries. It is not unusual for children to attend classes together with high school students and even college students."

"This is indeed a valid argument... But they must not understand it... They should think that this is impossible and strange..."

After muttering a few words unconvinced, Hoshinomiya Chie raised her voice.

"Kosae, you didn't tell the whole story. For Japan, education suitable for local people is also very important."

"Indeed, we cannot imitate everything abroad. Moreover, there are almost no examples of Japan adopting the grade-skipping system. Although it is possible under certain conditions, more people don't even know that they can skip grades."

Of course Sae Chabashira knew this, so she said unbiased words that were difficult for anyone to refute.

"For Japan, which likes to keep learning at the same level, this system is inconsistent with the status quo, but in fact this does not mean that Japan cannot accept the system of skipping grades."

"It's better now...I really can't see anything clearly."

After a discussion about education, Hoshinomiya Chie sighed and suddenly stared at Sae Chabashira and asked pointedly.

"By the way, Sae-chan, are you trying to do the following?"

"Don't be stupid, of course such a thing is impossible."

Sae Chabashira looked cold and laughed mockingly.

"I'm just following the instructions from my superiors."

"Haha, Sae-chan really can't do this kind of thing~"

In the atmosphere where the two people's eyes collided fiercely, Mashima Tomoya looked at Porusalino and spoke.

"Teacher Porusalino, you said the new transfer student..."

Although Gu had maintained an objective and calm attitude until now, in the end, he couldn't help but ask this question.

"Is it the same situation?"

"Oh yo~" Porusalino's tone was unpredictable, "It's hard to say..."

The light aroma is refreshing, and you pout as you sip the tea in the cup, which is as clear as the blue sky.

"But isn't this kind of thing very common? That-"

He said in a teasing tone.

"Heavyweights will make their final appearance at the last minute."

……

"The points are not saved, what should I do next?"

"I used up all the remaining points yesterday..."

During the break after the teacher left, the classroom of Class [-] D was noisy...no, it was extremely chaotic.

"Compared with the starting point, the class is the problem... Are you kidding? Why am I in Class D...!"

Yukimura made a rough sound in anger, and a slight sweat appeared on his forehead.

"By the way, it turns out that we can't get into the school we like? Then why did I enter this school? Does Mr. Sae-sae hate us...?"

The other students could not hide their confusion.

"I understand everyone's confusion, but please calm down for now."

Feeling threatened by the sinister atmosphere in the classroom, Hirata stood up in order to calm down the mood around him.

"Why are you so calm? Aren't you willing to accept being called a loser?"

Yukimura couldn't calm down at all.

"Even if we are being said so now, wouldn't it be good if we work together to get this tone back?"

"Fighting for this tone? Speaking of which, I couldn't accept it since the stage of being divided into classes!"

"I understand your mood very well——"

Hirata maintained his attitude.

"But if you continue to vomit here now, you won't be able to start anything, right?"

"What did you say?"

With an aura as if he was about to grab the hem of his shirt, Yukimura shortened the distance between Hirata.

"Both of you, please calm down, okay? The teacher must have spoken so harshly just to inspire us, right?"

At this moment, a girl entered between the two people confronting each other, and at the same time gently placed her hand on Yukimura's clenched fist——

Yukimura obviously didn't want her to be hurt, so he couldn't help but take a half step back.

"Besides, we have only started school for one month, right? Just like Hirata-san said, wouldn't it be great if we all work together from now on? Am I wrong?"

Nearly half of Yukimura's anger has dissipated, and the girl's eyes say seriously - as long as everyone in Class D unites, there will always be a way.

"No, no, this is... although what you said, Kushida, is indeed correct..."

"Yeah, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right? And there's no need for Yukimura and Hirata to quarrel."

"...I'm sorry, I wasn't very calm just now."

"It doesn't matter, I should pay more attention to my wording..."

The presence of Kushida Kikyo integrated this casual seminar.

"Everyone, before class starts, I hope you will listen to me a little more carefully. Especially Sudou-san."

In the still noisy classroom, Hirata stood on the podium and attracted the students' attention.
