The Students I Once Tutored As Part-Time Home Tutors During My Student Days Had Suddenly Achieved Excessive Success In Their Careers. - Chapter 1: The Legendary Man.

The Legendary Man.

“Hmm. This is not good at all. I felt quite cornered…”

“Since it’s not the fault of the home tutor, it’s even more so, right?”

In a small office space,

This is a company that dispatches local home tutors.

A young female president and a young female vice president.

What troubles these two is the issue of one of the tutors they dispatched.

They were directly consulted about the content of “not being able to open up even when trying to teach.”

There are mainly three reasons for requesting a home tutor.

To improve academic performance.

To study effectively at home.

And—due to some circumstances, not being able or not wanting to go to school anymore.

If it’s the first two reasons, the speed at which the tutor and the student become friendly is fast. They can quickly build a good relationship. Above all, trust is established early. However, in the latter case, it’s not so easy.

“For now, let’s send an aftercare email and schedule a consultation with the parents. Since the compatibility between the tutor and the student matters, let’s also consider making changes if necessary.”

“Understood.”

Quick response. Supportive attitude. Action for problem-solving.

This is why this company’s performance has been improving and why it has gained trust and reputation from the community.

“…Well, it seems like there are more students who are troubled, and we might be in a tough spot. Shouldn’t we hire a few more tutors who want to be home tutors?”

“Indeed, that could be a solution, but our client requests haven’t increased significantly, so it would be challenging to manage. It might lead to dissatisfaction on the tutor’s side if they don’t get enough requests.”

“Well, that’s true…”

This is the difficulty of running a business. The female president, unable to grasp a solution, mutters.

“If that college student who quit two years ago were here right now…”

“Seeking something that doesn’t exist won’t change reality. I’ve thought the same thing.”

“Haha! That’s true.”

The slightly heavy atmosphere is dispersed by this laughter. The two of them make nostalgic expressions and continue their conversation.

“He was exceptional in the past. He not only bonded with students who were refusing to go to school, delinquent, or simply hated studying, but he also significantly improved their academic performance.”

“His reporting, communication, and consultations were perfect, too. I remember talking about how it didn’t feel like his first job multiple times.”

“Especially for students we thought would be difficult to handle, we just handed them over to him, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. He really worked hard. He was undoubtedly the most challenging tutor at the time.”

Thanks to him almost single-handedly solving problems, he raised the company’s reputation. He put the business on track. He was the ultimate pinch hitter for this company. That’s the role he played.

“If he weren’t here, we would have been in trouble, wouldn’t we?”

“There was a good chance we’d lose to the competitors.”

“Indeed…”

The female president, despite her playful tone, has a tense expression. She seems to believe that they would have definitely lost.

“Well, it’s been a while since we’ve seen his face, and I want to help. How about reaching out to him?”

“While I’d like to, it’s unlikely to go in a positive direction.”

“Huh?”

“The reason he left was to become a high school teacher.”

“Why would that not be a good direction… Oh! Government employees can’t have a side job…!! Well, let’s find a loophole…”

“Please refrain from that, President.”

“It was a joke…”

The president, who is met with a sharp look from the vice president, fidgets with her hands as she tries to cover up her words.

“Well, he’s probably doing great as a teacher. I’m almost certain, judging by his record as a home tutor. He must be a popular teacher. I bet students confess to him for sure.”

“Yeah, yeah,” the president nods while making light-hearted comments, to which the vice president adds a word.

“Now, shall we face reality? We won’t move forward if we keep avoiding it.”

“Huh, isn’t the interesting part coming up!?”

“President.”

“Yes…”

The president, resigned to the firm tone, looks downhearted for a moment but quickly changes her expression to a serious one.

At the same time,

The man rumored about by the two of them—sneezed loudly.
