Love Comes After Learning

"Hey, is that bonfire down?"

"Wait, there's fire on the ground!"

"Accident? Hey, hey, there won't be a fire!"

"Should we step back a little bit, the whole bonfire will be over when the fire explodes... I have heard of the most serious bonfire accident. At that time, it seemed that twelve people were crushed to death by a log..."

"No way... Who built this bonfire, it's too scary..."

"Are you coming again... I remember that there were accidents in the forest school in the past few years... I thought it would be different this time, but I didn't expect it to be..."

"What a disappointment..."

People began to feel uneasy.

The gathered shadows twisted in panic.

Rumors rang out under the dark sky.

Flame-like fear ignited a prairie fire, and the surrounding restless atmosphere ignited a dim flame.

Asada looked at the students who were focusing on him, and the teachers who were rushing over in the distance, as if he could hear the sound of the prelude to being broken, resounding in every corner of his body, making the cells tremble.

In order to resist this kind of fear, the body stiffened without authorization, as if the feet were tightly glued to the ground, the muscles could not be controlled, and they could not move.

Asada could only grit his back teeth, with an unwilling expression on his face.

【Failed】.

These three words echoed in my heart, making the world dark.

This is of course, after all, with the lessons learned from the past, the school's tolerance for accidents is very low, even if no casualties are caused, the danger of the bonfire falling on the couch cannot be laughed off.

The school will deduct points for this, and the students will also lower their evaluation because of disappointment. In the end, there is only one ending—that is, a failure that falls short of success.

The time spent working together this month, like a photo that was lit, gradually turned to ashes.

The expression slowly relaxed, and Asada seemed to close his eyes in resignation. He needed a few seconds to bear this huge sense of loss; otherwise, he would not be able to calm down and deal with the follow-up.

——At any time, he is their chairman.

Even if you fail, you must do everything perfectly; even if you are sad, you must comfort them before you can be sad.

Let self-esteem turn into a city wall to block all chaos and shaking.

He opened his eyes, his pupils were as calm as ice, ready to deal with the aftermath.

Then, he saw Clover's profile.

He saw Clover sitting up from the ground, his eyes widened, staring at the incomplete bonfire, the falling wood, and the flames on the ground.

Her pretty face was illuminated by the fire, but she was bloodless.

Her pupils were illuminated by the fire, but gradually dimmed.

She sat there stupidly like a stone sculpture, motionless, as if her soul had been sucked out, without despair, without sadness, and as if unconscious, she stared blankly at the flames.

It was as if that had burned her will, crushed her mind.

She looked at the flames, and Shinichi Asada looked at her.

"She's also thinking, it's over..."

This thought pierced Asada's heart hard, making him clenched his fists.

——I haven't worked hard to the end, so don't set the ending for me without authorization.

He, since he met them, he really likes to say such things.

Full of hope, full of possibility, once I see someone who is forced by reality to give up their ideals and efforts, and feel sad for this, I really want to say this to her.

"As long as life is not over, nothing is over."

Regardless of sadness, despair, regardless of laughter, beauty.

Isn't there still a long way to go before everything is reduced to ashes and the dust settles?

No matter how much you are afraid of this dark road where you can't see your feet, there should be something you can't back down, right?

Then, you can't admit your fate here without authorization.

What he said, what he promised, must never be forgotten.

He must work hard until the last second to win the glory of victory for them.

Until the last moment, this tense spirit cannot be relaxed, nor can it admit defeat to the cruel reality.

In addition to failure, Asada Shinichi, there are still things that can be done.

As a result, the gloomy world was once again stained with color.

The cold heart ignited the temperature again.

The thinking of giving up changed the angle again.

The weak muscles are full of vitality again.

The noisy voices, wobbly shadows, and the gathered people were all deeply reflected in his head, and they started to run rapidly with his thoughts.

Shinichi Asada touched his ears, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and there seemed to be flames beating in his eyes.

It's a bit difficult... But, how do you know if it will succeed if you don't try it?

The brain seemed to be overrunning, and there was a fever and dizziness. He ignored it, squatted down with a smile on his face, and whispered beside the four leaves with dull eyes.

"One can't get anything without paying - this is equivalent exchange. We firmly believe that this is the truth of the world."

Clover trembled all over for a moment, turned her head slightly, looked at him with two dim pupils, slightly parted her lips, and spit out four dry words.

"Equivalent...exchange?"

"Yes, I told you. If you forget, I can't forgive you."

Asada laughed out loud, like a child who has encountered a difficult level and is eager to try to break through it.

"Do you still remember your enlightenment? Take it out now, we are going to start the final "refinement"."

The other quintuplets approached anxiously, and Mr. Kirisu's serious face gradually approached.

However, the two of them talked on their own, as if they were in different worlds.

"What are you talking about... Now is not the time to say such stupid things..." Her voice trembled, her heart seemed to be filled with water, she didn't dare to move, for fear of overflowing with sadness, "It's all because of me... ...Obviously it will succeed soon, and because of me...my relationship..."

"enough."

He interrupted her self-blame.

"Since you forgot, then I'll say it again." Asada's expression suddenly became serious, holding her pale face in his hands, and speaking very fast, "Once your consciousness is not enough, the equivalent exchange will fail, then Forest School will also fail—because you didn’t believe me, and you didn’t smile until the last moment. I said that the other day. Who told you not to believe it? See, something went wrong? They said they don’t want money Why don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, you will fail. Why don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, you will be blamed. Why don't you believe it? Are you shaking M? Talk?"

"..." Clover was stunned, too sad to move, just stopped in such a daze, only the words "Why don't you believe it" were left in the ghost replay...

Asada quickly took a deep breath, speaking at a speed of fifteen words per second would really take out all the air in his lungs.

"Since there is time to feel sorry for yourself at the end, it is better to turn the tide now."

"Stand up, Yotsuba, I need you."

He straightened up and held out his hand to Yotsuba.

Half of his profile face was illuminated by the warm firelight, but his smile was even brighter and more dazzling as if the final fireworks were about to be lit.

"Next, in order to save the forest school that is about to fail, we "six people"... are going to start the final performance. We can't do it without you."

The other four stood behind him, looking at Yotsuba worriedly.

Clover raised her head, staring blankly at the appearance of the five people, her pupils left the swaying flames, but they were brighter than before.

She didn't hold Asada's hand, but propped up her sandy legs and stood up by herself.

——Before thinking works, there is only one reason why the body can act naturally.

That is, I believe that what I will do next will never let myself regret it.

"Asada-san, what should I... do?

Chapter 280 VII: Yotsuba's Round of School in the Forest

Clover often thinks, maybe she is used to failure?

Since childhood, she has rarely tasted the taste of success.

He wants to change his image, but his grandfather mistakenly thinks that the quintuplets are in bad relationship and falls ill.

Facing repeating the make-up exam, she was the only one who failed and caused the other sisters to transfer to another school.

Running with him in a race, but with passion and good intentions, he did something bad and hurt him.

Although he said that he didn't need to care, but during the midterm exam, he still failed his teaching during that time, and his grades did not improve at all.

Even running was not a good one at the beginning - the failures she experienced were as countless as the bread she had eaten.

Clover is also used to the feeling that hard work is not rewarded.

Because I am used to it, I can always put a smile on my face.

△

The night before Woodland School.

After encouraging each other with her sisters, Yotsuba returned to her room.

The expression of high fighting spirit has not faded, she knows that she is still nervous, but she will not be uneasy anymore, because she has the strength of her sisters to accompany her.

She can't do anything alone, but fortunately, she is not alone now.

And I have said so many words of "absolutely succeeding". According to the law of attraction, as long as you are full of confidence and don't give up the hope of success, then a bright future will be waiting for you!

What's more, there is this...

Clover lightly picked up the small paper crane on the desk, the appearance was tattered and poorly presented, it was impossible to tell if it was folded with care, just like a third grader's random creation, calling it a paper crane Still a bit reluctant.

But Yotsuba thought that this was more beautiful than any paper crane she had ever folded, and it was also one of her treasures.

She sat on the bed, closed her eyes, pressed the paper crane to her forehead, and muttered to herself seriously.

"Asada-san, I will trust you...so, please bless everyone!"

Yihua, Nino, Sanjiu, Wuyue... Everyone has prepared so seriously for a month, working harder than any other exam, and their success or failure this time will also greatly affect their future.
