Early next morning.
As soon as the alarm clock rang, Jiang Xu opened his eyes.
I put on my summer school uniform, walked out of the room refreshingly, and finished washing. It was just a quarter past seven.
Gulong Gulong first poured a glass of warm water.
Then take a carton of milk out of the refrigerator and keep it warm.
By the way, take out eggs, bacon, ham and a few slices of green vegetables, and fry them in an electric pan.
Then scald the bread slices with butter.
Finally, put them together and cut diagonally from the diagonal with a knife, and a simple sandwich is ready.
Wait until Jiang Xu brings the plate to the dining table in the living room.
Qingye rubbed his eyes and walked out with a worried look on his face.
"morning!"
"Morning. Breakfast is ready. Come and eat."
Jiang Xu said casually and continued into the kitchen to get milk and cups.
"Thank you very much."
Qingye clasped his hands together, thanked him, pulled out the chair, and took a seat.
After Jiang Xu divided the milk into cups, he raised his head and saw clearly that Qingye was also wearing a school uniform today.
It's JK, but it also combines some elements of chef uniforms, which is a bit weird.
Qingye raised his head with a daze, and after accidentally looking at Jiang Xu, a flash of lightning seemed to flash in his mind, and he suddenly woke up and hurriedly explained.
"We usually wear chef uniforms in school, but today is the opening ceremony, so we can't help it."
Jiang Xu smiled: "It suits you very well."
"Jiang Xujun, Aoye-chan, what are you having for breakfast today?"
Hagiwara Daiko washed her face and walked to the living room. The first thing she said was to ask what was for breakfast.
"Sandwiches with milk."
Jiang Xu raised his voice a little.
"Sounds great."
After a simple breakfast, Aoba first picked up his backpack, said "I'm leaving first, see you in the evening." and went out first.
She takes the train alone to the chef school where she attends.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, was waiting for Daiko Hagiwara to finish her makeup and take her car to go to school together.
Yes, my daughter.
About a quarter of an hour later, Hagiwara Daiko finally appeared again.
She also changed into a women's summer dress with a black background, with a skirt at the bottom and her hair tied up, perfectly showing off the graceful and elegant temperament of a mature woman while also revealing a hint of awe and inaccessibility.
This is the true external appearance of Daiko Hagiwara, a strong woman on campus and in the workplace.
"Sorry for the long wait, let's go, Mr. Xu."
"How about it? It's the first day of school in a foreign country far away from home. You have to be exposed to a new environment and new classmates. Do you feel any nervousness?"
Daizi changed her shoes at the entrance, picked up her bag and car keys, and asked with a smile.
"It's okay. After all, I'm already in my third year of high school and will soon be an adult. My purpose of coming here to be an exchange student is also very clear. I'm not just here to have fun. I just let nature take its course, as are my classmates."
"Well, I believe you are a child with clear goals and plans for the future. Although you were recruited because of your talents. But since you came all the way to Sakurajima and went to school in Ayagawa, as a teacher, I can't The requirements for cultural courses will be relaxed for you."
"However, after all, you are an exchange student from a foreign country. History and language courses are naturally the requirements for exchange students. Other courses such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, etc. must be above the passing line. Otherwise, be careful when taking them. Less than a diploma.”
"So, after you complete the club training, you must not miss the cultural courses."
Jiang Xu scratched his head troubledly. Although he had thought about it for a long time, the real way to go to high school again was to study in the most stressful senior year of high school in the foreign country of Sakurajima.
He still felt he couldn't bear it.
Some of the knowledge I gained when I was a student was given back to the teacher a long time ago. What's more, even if I still remember it, there are two worlds, different countries, and the contents of the college entrance examination are completely different, so there is not much reference value.
But he also knew that Daizi's request was for his own good, even though he didn't care about his grades in school.
"Yeah, I understand, I won't let go of my cultural achievements."
It seems that we can only see if these cultural courses can form skills. In this case, the almighty victory point can save him.
Daizi nodded with satisfaction. After this period of getting along, she truly regarded Jiang Xu as her nephew.
Having temporarily solved the cultural achievement issue that Daizi was most concerned about, Jiang Xu still had another problem.
"Aunt Daizi, you just said that you have completed the club training, but I haven't joined the club yet."
"I forgot to tell you about this. Your name has been added to the directory of the school's kendo club from the moment you entered school."
"After the opening ceremony later, you can directly join our Ayakawa Kendo Club and become the main team member. This year's National Kendo Competition will depend on you. I believe you can lead Ayakawa to win the championship. An unprecedentedly good ranking, come on.”
Daizi clenched her fist slightly and made a cheering gesture to show encouragement.
Jiang Xu followed her with a question mark, got into the passenger seat, and finally clarified the meaning of Dai Zi's words.
'In other words, I had planned to join the school's kendo club, but I had already joined it. As a kendo expert, he was specially recruited to Ayakawa to serve as the main force of the kendo club for this year's Sakurajima National Kendo Competition. '
And Aunt Daizi also knows it, which means that this is information that is basically open to the public in the school.
Jiang Xu's mouth twitched slightly.
Good guy, isn't this the same as a popular game in the previous life? As long as you win the championship, it doesn't matter whether you are a native of the country or not.
While the car was driving, he finally figured out the exchange student policy of Ayakawa High School through some insinuations.
Ayakawa High School was founded only 40 years ago, but it has surpassed many century-old schools in the Tokyo area and has become a first-class prestigious school.
It relies on combining the East and the West and taking an international route.
In other words, foreign exchange students at Ayakawa High School are not uncommon.
It's just that the overnight stay policy was only recently implemented on a trial basis, and Jiang Xu and his group of exchange students were the first to experience it.
The reason why this policy was suddenly implemented is because Ayakawa High School is now ranked among the top high schools in Sakurajima.
But there is also a gap between first-class and first-class.
Ayakawa High School's status is still some distance away from being a top-notch high school that represents the highest level of all high schools in Sakurajima.
These differences are not due to cultural differences. Every year, there are not a few students from Ayakawa High School who are admitted to Sakurajima's famous schools and even the world's famous schools.
There are even more students admitted to prestigious foreign schools than some top high schools.
However, Ayakawa's achievements in competitive sports have always been underwhelmed by several established top high schools.
Whether it is kendo, mahjong, cooking, music, ball games, or even high school competitions in most registered formal competitive events.
Ayakawa does not have a particularly outstanding ranking.
Even Ayakawa High School is aware of this problem and intends to improve it.
But it won't work for a while.
It is far worse to continue to follow the old path, take the international route, and find help from abroad.
Anyway, only high school students with student status can participate in the high school national competition.
As for whether it is a national, there is no policy that does not allow it.
Jiang Xu, and his group of students who suddenly came to be exchange students in their senior year of high school, were the supporters of this policy.
As for these talented students, their cultural achievements may not be ideal.
After all, Ayakawa High School is still a school famous for its admission rate, so we can't ignore the beginning and the end.
Competitive performance has gone up, and the enrollment rate has gone down.
Therefore, the teacher lodging policy came into being.
Let this ** be a new student, live in the teacher's house, and ask the teacher to help make up some classes. At the very least, his cultural achievements will be brought to the average level.
Jiang Xu suddenly felt enlightened.
Everything is connected.
Wait, there's another question.
Since it is a special enrollment, why is the tuition...
Before he could ask the question, Jiang Xu figured it out on his own.
After all, Ayakawa is a private high school, and all accounting procedures must be completed.
After paying the tuition, it doesn’t matter how many times it is paid out in the name of scholarships or grants, but the high tuition must be paid at the beginning.
Some of the later money may be distributed in the name of scholarships, but the scholarship will definitely be distributed naturally after he gets a place in the national competition.
At the end of the day, this is really a business.
The other party will only pay if he has the goods first.
So, I will still be poor for a long time?
Jiang Xu thought speechlessly.
Hagiwara Daizi's car drove all the way to the school before putting Jiang Xu down.
"Xujun, you can get off the bus right here. I have to go to the office first. Do you see the third building over there? It's the third-grade teaching building. There should be a list of students downstairs. You It should be in Class 7, but it’s better to go and confirm.”
"Yes, I will."
After unbuckling his seat belt and getting out of the car, Jiang Xu walked slowly in the direction Daizi pointed before, preparing to visit the campus as a student.
The whole school does not have much historical heritage, but it is very modern.
Outdoor lawn playground, indoor gymnasium, canteen, library, science museum, club building, etc. are all available, and some are connected to each other by overpasses.
The road is also lined with trees and there is a small artificial lake.
In short, the first impression is very good. Even if the name of the school is hidden, it is still the kind of level that I am very willing to bring friends from outside to visit on the weekend.
Today is the first day of school. The announced arrival time is 9:30, but there are already many students wearing school uniforms on the road.
The boys wore the same summer clothes as him, and the girls also wore summer clothes, except that the trousers were replaced by skirts.
Jiang Xu continued to walk forward, and students began to be divided into different teaching buildings.
He walked directly to the innermost building that Daizi pointed to. As soon as he arrived, he saw a large group of students surrounding the front of the stairs on the first floor.
There is a row of papers posted on the wall, filled with densely packed names, which must be the class list that Daizi mentioned.
If there were no mistakes, he should be in class seven. After counting from left to right, Jiang Xu walked straight towards the seventh notice paper.
His approach also caused a certain amount of commotion among the previous female students.
"Wow, look, it's a handsome guy. Which class is he from before? How come I haven't seen him before? I really hope I'm assigned to the same class as him."
"I have read the information of the most handsome boys in each class of our class. They are definitely not students who were in our school before."
"Is it possible that the first-year students who just entered this year are in the wrong position?"
"Hey, are you awake yet? The first, second and third grade students are not in the same teaching building. Why did you go to the wrong place? You will leave after seeing the notice!"
Jiang Xu pretended not to hear the whispers in his ears and was still looking for his name in front of the student list of Class 3, Class 5.
However, listening to the chat among this group of students, Jiang Xu learned that Ayakawa's third grade students would be divided into classes according to the students' wishes.
Generally speaking, students are reclassified according to the country and region of their preferred school, and then prepare for the exam in a targeted manner.
That is to say, students who enter the senior year of high school will be separated. A small number of them may be classmates in the original class, but generally they still need to get to know each other again.
For high school students who have finally formed a group, it may be difficult for classmates with whom they have a good relationship to be broken up.
But for transfer students, exchange students and the like, it is relatively friendly.
Jiang Xu's name is written in Xiawen, and it only has two characters. It is relatively easy to find. It is indeed in the directory of Class 7.
After finding his name, Jiang Xu turned toward the stairs and prepared to go to class. Suddenly, a name in the next class caught his attention.
'Sonia'
Sonia?
It sounds like a girl's name.
And obviously, this is also a 'foreign aid'.
He was a little curious about how many foreign players the school had recruited this year.
Moreover, as if they were worried that they were not familiar with the Sakurajima language, their names were all written in their native language.
Some names written in other countries' languages suddenly appeared in a string of Sakurajima characters. This anomaly has caused discussion among some students.
However, it has little to do with Jiang Xu. He has seen that he should be the only exchange student in their class.
"Class 7, Grade 3, Class 7, Grade 3. Oh, I found it."
Walking up to the second floor, Jiang Xu looked up and followed the door numbers, and finally found the class number for Class 7, Grade 3 in the penultimate classroom on this floor.
The front door was unlocked, so Jiang Xu walked in directly.
There were some differences from the classroom he imagined, but the overall structure was similar.
The chairs are placed upside down on the desks, which makes the classroom look a bit awkward.
There were not many people coming. They put down the chairs on the desks in twos and threes and sat together chatting quietly. There were also a few people sitting alone.
When he saw a newcomer coming, although his eyes were focused on Jiang Xu, he had no intention of saying hello.
Jiang Xu glanced around, walked to the innermost row, the seat next to the rear window, and put down the chair.
He sat here and had an unobstructed view of the playground outside.
When it was almost half past nine and all the seats in the class were filled, Daiko Hagiwara walked into the class with a gentle smile.
She is the head teacher of Class 7 of the third grade and the head teacher of the entire third grade.
As usual, we first introduced ourselves to everyone.
Jiang Xu's status as an exchange student naturally attracted the attention of other students, but they did not pay too much attention.
At about half past ten, it’s the opening ceremony.
The principal, teachers, student union, and outstanding student representatives took turns to speak.
It was almost noon when we finished.
After lunch, do some general cleaning.
The students were extremely motivated because there were no classes on the first day of school, and after cleaning there was free time, or club time.
As soon as the cleaning is over, these seniors will go to their respective clubs and prepare to set up stalls to promote the event.
First-year students will also take this opportunity to learn about and choose a club of their choice to join.
If he were a normal transfer student, Jiang Xu would also go and have a look.
It's a pity that he has been booked in advance by the kendo club, otherwise, he would have wanted to go to the mahjong club.
That's not right. It seems that the school does not prohibit students from joining multiple clubs.
