Have you ever heard of the man William Butler Yeats?

It doesn't matter, it's normal if you haven't heard of it, because this person doesn't appear in elementary or middle school textbooks.

Perhaps it was because so few people had heard of him that I was so surprised when Akiyama read his poems.

That day, Mr. Sugiyama suddenly asked each of us to write a sentence that we wanted to engrave on our tombstone in the future.

As soon as he heard this topic, Genichiro's face turned blue.Also, generally speaking, how can there be a teacher who asks students to write their own epitaphs?It sounded absurd, but everyone did it anyway.

After finishing, Mr. Sugiyama asked each of us to read aloud what we had written.

In order to meet the assignment, everyone wrote some boring things to upload, Mr. Sugiyama listened silently, and finally it was Akiyama's turn.

——"Cast a cold eye, watch life, watch death. Knight, forward!"

The pen in my hand fell to the ground.

When I bent down to pick up the pen, I couldn't help but glance at Akiyama who was sitting in the back row.Is this a coincidence?In my notebook, I was writing exactly the same content as the poem that Akiyama read out.

"Why did you write this sentence?" Teacher Sugiyama asked.

"This is Yeats's poem engraved on his own tombstone, the last sentence of "Under Ben Bulbin Hill"...I like it very much."

Akiyama didn't clearly explain why she wrote this sentence, and Mr. Sugiyama didn't continue to ask.When it was my turn, I replaced what I had written in my notebook with another sentence.

— "Crazy Ireland stabbed you into poetry."

Mr. Sugiyama looked at me and Akiyama with interest. "Looks like Yeats is very popular today!" she joked.

I am afraid that no one can understand what Mr. Sugiyama is saying at this time, and no one can understand what I am talking about.I didn't really intend to put this sentence on my tombstone, it was just a moment of unreasonable impulse--a small impulse that rarely happens to me.

I turned my head and met Akiyama's gaze.

Akiyama looked at me with some surprise, just like I just looked at her with the same surprised expression.But soon, her expression returned to calm, and then she lowered her head to listen to Mr. Sugiyama's lecture.

After that class ended, nothing changed.

There is still a clear line between problem students and top students, and Miyake and Genichiro never give each other a good look.I never discussed Yeats with Akiyama, and Akiyama never took the initiative to talk to me.

Until one day, Mr. Sugiyama suddenly walked into the classroom with a weekly literary magazine and announced to us that the poems contributed by Akiyama and Miyake had been published on it.

This incident caused quite a stir in the school. Literary Weekly is a magazine suitable for older adults to read. Generally speaking, no middle school students will submit articles.When did Akiyama and Miyake think of doing this?It seems that the two of them were encouraged by Mr. Sugiyama, because when their poems were published in the magazine, Mr. Sugiyama seemed happier than anyone else.

"I hope that you can maximize your talents, keep writing, keep writing, write more and more, and write until one day the whole world will look at you with admiration!"

Don't be afraid to pursue your dreams, and don't be bound by the so-called old concepts of adulthood and minorities. Everyone has infinite possibilities. The power of human beings is far greater than what you imagine, so bravely challenge and open the unknown Heaven and earth, to overcome those things that you think you can't overcome - when Mr. Sugiyama spoke impassionedly with the literary weekly magazine, Akiyama and Miyake's eyes were firmly locked on her face.

It was not admiration, pride, or joy, but a look of pure trust.

After this incident, people from the school's news department took the initiative to approach Akiyama and Miyake, hoping that these two people could join the department and make use of their strengths.

As expected, Miyake and Akiyama decisively declined the invitation.The two who have been affiliated with the Guizhou Department since the first grade seem to have no intention of participating in club activities at all. Whether it is the News Department or the Literature Department, every club that invited them to join has been rejected. Since then, The bad reputation of these two people for being "high and arrogant and not taking people seriously" has also spread.

When he was in the second grade, Yukimura's talent for painting began to be gradually revealed. One of his watercolor paintings was secretly sent by the art teacher to participate in the competition. The result unexpectedly received a very high evaluation and won the highest prize in the competition.So just like Miyake and Akiyama, Yukimura also received a strong invitation from the art department.In the end, although he refused, Yukimura formed a good relationship with the people in the art department and became very good friends.In addition to taking care of the tennis club, whenever he is free, he will go to the art department.

Is such a distraction good for Yukimura's tennis?I have had such doubts.But after discussing with Gen Ichiro, I got this conclusion from him:

"Yukimura is not the kind of person who needs to focus on one thing to do it well. His talents and talents are far higher than you and me, far higher than anyone else, so don't worry about him as an ordinary person."

Yukimura is not an ordinary person, I knew this from the first grade.

Although he has a long-term medical history and looks a little weak on the surface, Yukimura is not the kind of weak person that everyone imagines.

His strength is not just as simple as being an unprecedented minister in the first grade, everything related to him, himself, himself, and everything around him, as long as he exists, it is as if they are blessed by a god.

Yukimura's strength can rival that of God - hence the reputation of the Son of God.

After Akiyama's poems were published in the magazine, she and her elder brother Yukimura were called "perfect twins" by the teachers.The two are also excellent in grades, one has excellent literary talent, and the other is quite accomplished in art. Although the genetic genes make the twins have completely different looks, they have the same unique talent.

However, the reputation of the perfect twin was broken by another incident within a few days.

Akiyama and Miyake announced the establishment of a new society on their own. The name of the society is Dead Poets Society.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.In Lihai's school history, there has never been a precedent for students to form clubs by themselves. To set up a club, there must be more than three members and a consultant teacher.In addition to this, of course, the school's approval must be obtained in order to obtain the name.

There are only two members of the Dead Poets Club, Akiyama and Miyake, and Sugiyama is the consultant teacher.With neither approval nor objection from the school, this club with a bad name started its activities spontaneously.

"What's the matter with this unseemly club name! It's too lax!"

The first one to stand up against the establishment of the club was naturally Genichiro.

Anyway, this kind of association with only two people playing tickets will automatically close down soon, right?Whether they exist or not, in fact, they have no effect on him - people with such an irresponsible mentality may account for the majority, but it is an intolerable situation for Genichiro.

Everything must be well-founded, following traditions and rules is Xianichiro's consistent belief. Miyake and Akiyama's behavior has completely broken the rules in his eyes, and Mr. Sugiyama, who has been supporting the two behind the scenes, also made Xianichiro very dissatisfied.

"Perhaps they have special reasons for not being able to join existing societies."

My inadvertent sentence made Genichiro very angry.

"Lian Er! Is your brain flooded? I don't want to hear such nonsense from your mouth a second time!"

With the establishment of the Dead Poets Club, the contradictions between top students and problem students have further intensified.

In the past, when Miyake and Genichiro met, at most, they would give each other blank eyes and sarcasm, but later on, they directly evolved into a pattern of quarreling as soon as they met.

They quarrel in the classroom, in the hallway, and even in the staff office in front of the teachers.

I know very well that Genichiro is not the kind of person who troubles others for no reason. He must have his reasons for being angry. It's no wonder Genichiro loses his mind with his lethal offensive language.

——"Akiyama! As Yukimura's younger sister, don't you even have the consciousness that you will ruin your brother's reputation!"

Before school ended that day, Genichiro and Miyake quarreled again in the classroom.The rest of the class was used to the bad relationship between the two, so no one cared too much about it.But in the verbal battle with Miyake, Genichiro gradually lost the wind, and he was so angry that he turned and threw a fireball at Akiyama who was packing his schoolbag.

Akiyama stopped the movements of his hands, raised his head and stared at Genichiro blankly.

She said nothing.

"Hey! If you want to make a noise, come at me. Why are you dragging irrelevant people into the water! Besides, how can she ruin Yukimura's reputation? Yukimura is her brother and not your brother. You are fine and just stick to other people's ass all day long like a fly." Well, are you a father, a mother, or a nanny? It’s not your turn to take care of other brothers and sisters’ affairs, right?”

"...! You...a woman with no quality education...!"

"What's wrong with me being uneducated? If you have the ability, you can publish an article in a magazine and I'll read it? If you have the ability, you can also form a club and let me see it? If you think I'm unqualified and uneducated, why don't you have the same quality here? Well-educated people talk nonsense, I think you are slouching, wishing to have more exchanges and talks with uneducated and uneducated people...!?"

Amidst the continuous quarrel between the two, I saw Akiyama walking out of the classroom silently with his schoolbag on his back.

I know Yukimura, I know Akiyama, and there is a brother and sister I know in the tennis club, Yagyu Hiroshi and his younger sister Erina.

Erina was still in elementary school, and Yagyu's parents were busy with work, so he was responsible for sending his sister to school every morning and taking her home at night.This is brother and sister, isn't it?Caring for each other, taking care of each other, supporting each other, this is what family members should be like.

Fortunately, this is not the case for the village and Qiushan.

Different looks, different personalities, and even different surnames.

I never saw them as siblings, they never went to school together, they never had lunch together, they never came home from school together.

Yukimura became the minister, and Yukimura won the competition. Akiyama never said a word of congratulations.Akiyama's poems were published in magazines, Akiyama established the Dead Poetry Club, and Yukimura never expressed his opinion on this.

There is an invisible barrier between these two people.

Although they couldn't see it, the barrier seemed to be too high to be crossed. As long as they approached a little, the distance between the two of them would be immediately opened by the barrier.

I've never seen siblings like them, and siblings aren't supposed to be like this.

"Yu, I'm worried about that child... Only you and Sanada can be trusted by my side, so please leave that child."

Obviously worried, but still entrusted my sister to others.In the first grade, I couldn't figure this out anyway. Why couldn't Yukimura take care of his younger sister himself?

It was as if some kind of tacit understanding and agreement had been reached early in the morning. In the three years of middle school, Akiyama and Yukimura both avoided each other without a trace.

Yukimura and I are different - is it to prove this to everyone that the originally low-key Akiyama will do those things that break the rules with Miyake?

This seems like a reasonable guess.

But what I want to tell you, Mr. Inspector, is that things are not at all what you think they are.
