The Students I Once Tutored As Part-Time Home Tutors During My Student Days Had Suddenly Achieved Excessive Success In Their Careers. - Chapter 25: School After the Weekend.

School After the Weekend.

“Is that for real? You’re not exaggerating, are you?”

“No, not a bit of exaggeration.”

“A genuine sighting? It would be quite something if it turns out to be a rumor.”

“Well, this is a real sighting.”

“Could it be a lookalike?”

“No, definitely not. This was the real deal. She had a hat on, so her face was partially hidden, but it was definitely a stunning girl, and she was on a car date with Sensei.”

At the beginning of the week, the high school on Monday.

In classroom 3-A, there was a crowd of over a dozen people gathered in a certain spot.

In the midst of this bustling scene, discussions revolved around Sora Sensei and the beautiful woman seated next to him.

“Hmm, even if the story is true, isn’t it a bit early to conclude that it was a date? There’s a possibility that he was just giving a friend a ride, right?”

“Well, yeah, that’s true, but in a non-romantic relationship, you wouldn’t pinch someone’s cheek at a red light, right? Oh, just to clarify, the girl was drop-dead gorgeous, and Sensei was acting kind of affectionate.”

“I see. So the date theory is likely.”

“…Hey, tell me about Sensei’s reaction at that moment.”

“Whoa! He was surprised.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. So, about his reaction?”

At that moment, Sae, with her half-hidden face, peeked out from between friends.

“Yeah, I think his reaction seemed somewhat happy. It was like he was saying, ‘Be careful, okay?’ or something like that.”

“I see…”

“Well, realistically, he couldn’t have been unhappy, right?”

“If a super pretty girl pinched your cheek?”

“Exactly.”

“ “Yeah.” “

All the boys here nodded in unison, showing great teamwork.

These boys’ coordinated response was met with skeptical glares from the girls.

“By the way, what does this drop-dead gorgeous girl look like? Can you compare her to anyone at this school?”

“Well, honestly, she’s the type you don’t see at this school, so it’s hard to come up with a comparison…”

“Come on! Give it your best shot!”

“Umm… let’s see… First, imagine Sae-chan being taller.”

“T-Taller?”

“Next, add a bit of a gal vibe.”

“Make Sae-san look more like a gal?”

“And then, think of her as an outgoing party animal type.”

“Turn Sae-san into an outgoing party animal?”

At that moment, all the classmates who had gathered in the crowd turned to face Sae.

A sudden spotlight of attention.

“Don’t stare at me too much,” she implored with a glare, but her default expression made it impossible for others to perceive her appeal.

They continued their conversation while still fixated on her.

“Wow, I can’t even imagine it.”

“Yeah, me neither…”

“The analogy is terrible.”

“You’re the one who insisted on coming up with one!”

Sae could be described as the calmest person in Class 3-A. Her expression barely changed, and she was known for her composure.

Converting her into an outgoing party animal type was an impossible task.

“…If nobody can imagine it, then I’m okay with the ‘outgoing party animal’ type. You see.”

“S-Sae-chi! No way, please!”

“Yeah, that’s right! Sae-san is the best just as she is!”

“…Is that so?”

“It is!”

This fierce opposition was coming from the girls, and the boys didn’t fan the flames.

Sae had her role firmly established in Class 3-A, like a mascot.

“This conversation is becoming problematic, so let’s change the topic! Right, Sae-san?”

“Got it! Let’s go!”

“Ahh…”

Sae was lifted up with hands on her sides and then led away by a group of girls. At times, she was hoisted high into the air, at other times she was embraced like a stuffed animal, and sometimes she was petted like a puppy.

Sae understood the mood, but even with the most forceful group, she never evolved into an “outgoing party animal.”

What remained were the boys.

“Wow, her fan club is still going strong, huh?”

“Seriously, it’s kind of unfair that she’s so easygoing with that personality of hers…”

“No, isn’t the fact that she’s incredibly cute the real unfair part?”

“Speaking of which, I heard that last week, Endou from the second year confessed to Sae-san?”

“Endou from the basketball club? The one who’s part of the national team selection?”

“Yeah, but apparently, even he got rejected. She told him there’s someone she likes at this school.”

“What?!”

“Huh?!”

“Seriously?!”

As soon as they heard these words, all the boys widened their eyes in shock. It was only natural because they were hearing a certain word for the first time.

“Up until now, didn’t she always say, ‘I have someone I like,’ when she turned down confessions?”

“She added ‘at school’ to that phrase, so does that mean she’s changed her crush?”

“Who could it be…”

“If Endou gets rejected when he’s that head over heels, who the heck is this person…”

“Well, if we find out who it is, I’m punching him right away.”

“That sounds like a plan.”

“I’m so jealous…”

Amidst such a tense atmosphere that filled the classroom, Sora Sensei entered as usual with a cheerful “Good morning!”

“Hey, today’s quite noisy, isn’t it? Did something good happen to someone? Maybe even Sensei?”

“Something good happened to Sensei, right? The information about your Saturday car date with a beauty is circulating!”

“What!?!”

The classroom became even more uproarious due to the classmates’ inquiries. At this moment, Sora Sensei was receiving piercing stares, mainly from Sae.
