Chapter 124 Fist
Meeting room of Orange North Campus.

Fujii Itsuki sat at the last seat among the faculty and staff, listening to the principal speaking at the conference table.

The meeting didn't contain much content, but there were a lot of words.

The principal likes to stretch out simple things when he speaks, but in fact, the content can be summarized into just a few goals - strengthening school management, improving teachers' abilities, and improving students' overall quality and learning ability.

There is one thing about Tachibana Kita that Fujii Itsuki really likes.

That means they won’t use goals to pressure others, such as students’ grades must reach a certain level or the class average grade must be like this or that.

The school gives the class teacher full authority to manage the class, and if there are any outstanding students, the class teacher will be rewarded.

This is also the reason why Fujii Itsuki was able to win the prize many times with the help of Matsumae.

Finally, the principal emphasized that it is strictly forbidden for teachers to interact with students privately.

"Teacher Fujii."

Hearing the principal calling his name, Fujii Itsuki turned around.

"The wind band club you and Teacher Muzi have managed has achieved quite good results recently. Could you please tell us about the next plan for the wind band club?"

All the teachers and upper management in the school looked at Fujii Itsuki.

Under the gazes of everyone, Fujii Itsuki adjusted his tie and stood up.

“The next step is to lead the wind band to enter the Hokkaido competition and become one of the four seeds for Hokkaido to compete in the national competition.”

"Can it be done?"

"I have confidence. The students in the wind band are not bad in terms of musical literacy. What they lack is tacit understanding and training."

The middle-aged principal wearing square-framed glasses pinched his chin, lost in thought.

"Thank you for your speech, Mr. Fujii. Please take a seat."

Fujii Itsuki sat down again and the incident passed by.

Of course, he didn't think the principal mentioned this matter on purpose without any comment.

About half an hour later, the meeting ended.

He packed up his documents and followed Akai Muzi out of the classroom, but was stopped by the academic administrator Sasaki.

"Teacher Fujii, Teacher Akai, please follow me to the academic office."

After saying that, Academic Director Sasaki smiled at the two of them and walked ahead.

"Fujii, it's probably a good thing."

"I know."

"You want a raise?"

"I think you're pretty much the same."

Fujii Itsuki followed Akai Muzi into the academic office.

Academic Dean Sasaki poured a glass of water for the two of them. The two stood up to thank him and then sat down again.

Muzi really hit the nail on the head about what the academic affairs officer was going to say.

The school is going to give him a salary increase to 500,000 yen a month.

Akai Muzi's value also increased, becoming 300,000.

Secondly, with the arrival of summer, the school will organize a seven-day school trip.

At the same time, the school trip also serves as a training camp for the wind band club.

During the study trip, we still need to provide guidance and training to the students in the wind orchestra.

This is a public travel.

Fujii Itsuki had no reason to refuse, so after chatting with Akai Muko and the academic affairs office about the location of the school trip, he ended the topic.

Finally, as for club funding, the academic affairs office said the school will give the wind band club an extra payment.

Funding for the wind orchestra is indeed a problem.

After all, musical instruments are also consumable items. Apart from the instruments, there are always accessories, such as reeds, strings and other items that need to be replaced.

The club affairs ended here. Fujii Itsuki and Akai Muzi said goodbye and stood up, preparing to leave.

"Teacher Fujii."

Fujii Itsuki was suddenly stopped.

He looked at Akai Muzi's face for a second, then turned to look at Sasaki, the academic director.

"There is something I need to talk to Mr. Fujii alone." Academic Affairs Officer Sasaki said with a smile.

Fujii Itsuki sat back in his seat.

"Teacher Fujii, do you have any thoughts on moving recently?"

move place?

Why did the Academic Affairs Council mention this?

Fujii Itsuki realized something was wrong, but he did not speak and waited for the academic affairs officer to continue.

"Of course, our school can trust Mr. Fujii's character. It is precisely because of Mr. Fujii's special character and justice that we, Tachibana Kita, specially invited Mr. Fujii to come to our school to serve as a teacher."

Academic Dean Sasaki spoke at a moderate pace.

"Dean, you said this"

"Well, Mr. Fujii is very busy at work, and he works very hard for the wind band. I won't beat around the bush and will just get straight to the point. Mr. Fujii, you are living in your student's home now, right?"

"That's right." Fujii Itsuki answered without hesitation.

Academic Director Sasaki obviously did not expect Fujii Itsuki to be so frank.

She then felt relieved.

"We specifically asked Jiuhua about the situation and found out that you are just tenants. If you want to fire Mr. Fujii in this name, it would be unreasonable for us to do so."

"Expelled? What happened?"

"It's like this. Recently, our school received a report that Mr. Fujii was too close to a student in your class. The school has conducted an investigation."

report?

Fujii Itsuki pondered in his heart.

He recalled carefully and found that he had not offended anyone.

He gets along well with his colleagues.

The students in the class had no problem with him. On the contrary, he often showed them movies and they all liked his class very much.

Who would report himself for no reason?
"The school must handle reports received. I'm sorry that I investigated your case privately, Mr. Fujii. Anyway, Mr. Fujii, this is what happened."

“What is the school’s current attitude?”

“Please rest assured, Mr. Fujii. We know that there is nothing else between you and that classmate. It is just a simple tenant relationship.

"But even so, the place you live is not too far from the school. If students see you and your students walking into the same house at the same time, it would not be good to spread some rumors in the school, right?"

The academic affairs officer put it very tactfully.

According to the rules of ordinary schools, it would not be excessive to expel him for such a matter.

Ju Bei just reminded himself to move.

That’s very nice of you.

Fujii Itsuki was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Understood, Academic Affairs."

"I believe that you will make the right choice, Mr. Fujii."

When I walked out of the academic office, it was already dusk.

The summer sunset dyes the seaside sky orange.

The scenery is very beautiful.

Yet there is a sense of loneliness that something is coming to an end.

Fujii Itsuki withdrew his gaze.

As he walked downstairs, he ran into Akai Muko who was waiting for him at the vending machine.

"No, take it."

"Thanks."

Fujii Itsuki took the soda she threw to him.

"Are you okay? Why did the academic affairs officer suddenly ask you to talk alone?"

Muzi was not an outsider, so Fujii Itsuki told her about the report.

"Reported?" Akai Muzi frowned, "Who reported it?"

"I'm not sure." Fujii Itsuki shook his head.

"Not many people know that you live with Jiuhua. Chitose, Xinchun, me, the dean, who else?"

Fujii Itsuki: "No more, just these few."

"Were they seen by the students?"

"It doesn't look like it. I don't think it looks like a student reported me."

".That's strange. Logically, only someone with vested interests would report you. Who could it be?"

Fujii Itsuki turned his gaze to Akai Muko.

Akai Muzi smiled and said, "Yes, it's me!"

"I want to ask you, do you have any idea?"

"No, Usami and the others may be a bit gossipy, but they won't say anything irresponsible. Not to mention that they don't even know the relationship between you and Kouka."

Akai Muzi thought seriously for a long time.

"Well no, I still can't figure out who it is."

Fujii Itsuki finished drinking the soda, crushed the can with both hands, and threw it into a trash can in the distance.

The setting sun shone on his back.

Akai Muzi could see that he was quite upset.

"I don't have any clue about this matter for now, but moving is a certainty."

"If you move away, Xiao Jiuhua will be sad, right?"

"definitely will."

It turns out that Fujii is bothered by this.
It seems that he is not very willing to move.

Does Fujii really miss his little friend?

"What should we do?" asked Akai Muzi.

"I'll talk to her properly. Jiuhua has been forced to bear too many things. If I take away some of the things she likes, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."

"Well, that's good." Akagi Muzi understood the seriousness of the matter, "Fujii, if there is anything you need my help with, just let me know. I will also help you keep an eye on the situation around you and find out who is reporting you for no reason."

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? We are so close."

After saying goodbye to Akai Muko at the school gate, Fujii Itsuki watched her leave, and then walked home under the shadows of the trees in the sunset. How strange.

Ever since that day Muzi revealed his feelings to him.

She didn't show any extreme expression.

Just like being with yourself normally.

After Akai Muko joined the wind band, she was responsible for half of Fujii Itsuki's work in the band.

She is responsible for arranging the daily student coordination, the maintenance and purchase of musical instruments, and even the recent training schedule of the wind band.

This has indeed greatly reduced my work pressure.

At least I never stay up until four o'clock again.

Is a female colleague who shares your worries at work a good match?
Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but think so.

Muzi can cook.

She is a strong woman who knows how to make money and manage her life in an orderly manner.

If I marry her, living together in the future will definitely be a lot easier.

This is not only true in life, but also in work.

No girlfriend can do this, right?

"Fujii, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If you want to drink, call me and I'll accompany you."

Thinking of the way Akai Muzi said this, I felt warm in my heart.

*
Fujii Itsuki then got off the bus.

He went shopping for groceries as usual and then walked back to Jiuhua's house.

While on the way, he kept thinking about how to tell Jiuhua about moving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the corner of the iron gate, he heard a noisy argument inside.

There is the voice of Jiuhua.

He hurried over.

*
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"

In front of Jiuhua’s house.

Jiu Huayue was grabbed by the wrist by a middle-aged man in a suit and forcefully pulled out of the house.

At the same time, there was a beautifully dressed and luxurious woman standing outside, with a worried look on her face.

Jiuhuayue fought desperately and even bit her father's arm directly.

"That's enough! Jiuhuayue!" The middle-aged man shook off his daughter and looked at his arm with teeth marks. His tone became even more severe. "This is my last warning. I'm too lazy to say anything else to you. Are you leaving or not?"

"Don't go!"

Snapped!
The middle-aged man immediately slapped Jiu Huayue in the face.

Show no mercy.

The palm print immediately appeared on Jiuhuayue's tender face, a scarlet color that seemed to be bleeding.

"you--!"

Jiuhuayue covered her face with her hands, her eyes trembling.

She looked at the man in front of her with a look of disbelief at his frowning brows.

"Let me ask you one more question, are you leaving or not?"

"I do not go!"

Snapped!
Another slap.

The other side of his face was also slapped bloody by the palm, and the hair by his ear was blown into a mess.

But even so, the girl's purple eyes were fixed on the other person. Even though the other person was more powerful and had a higher status than her, she still had that strong look.

"You—are you leaving or not?!"

"Don't go!"

Snapped!
Another slap, Jiu Huayue's face was slapped to the other side, and tears were blown out. The mother beside her sighed repeatedly, unable to bear to watch.

The corners of Jiuhuayue's eyes trembled continuously.

"One last time. Are you leaving or not?"

The girl clenched her teeth. The palm prints on her face were burning with pain, and her head felt stuffy and buzzing.

But even though the palm prints on her face hurt and her voice was distorted, she still had that resolute look when facing her father:
"Father, I'll repeat it one last time. I won't leave!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Very good! I see you have grown up and become more independent, right? Now you dare to talk to me like this."

Jiuhualong saw that his daughter still had this expression and didn't listen to him at all. He had been having trouble at work recently, and now he was even more angry.

He raised his arms.

Jiuhuayue was afraid that her subconscious would close her eyes.

Jiuhua Longyi was about to hit her again when this happened.

A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Is this enough?"

Jiuhuayue carefully opened her tearful eyes and saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed her father's arm.

"Uncle."

As Jiuhua Long lowered his arms, he saw the young man suddenly appear in front of him.

He looked him up and down and immediately realized who he was.

"Are you Fujii Itsuki?"

"Yes."

"open."

"Unless you promise me to stop hitting her."

"This is our family affair, you have no right to get involved."

"Family matters are family matters, but Jiu Huayue is also my student. After all, I am her teacher. As a teacher, I cannot bear to see her being beaten like this."

"I said, this is just our family affair. I'm just teaching my unfilial daughter a lesson."

"Why is she unfilial?"

"Isn't that enough for not listening?"

“Are you filial?”

"what?"

"Do you know that your father came to my place to beg a few days ago and robbed me of 200,000 yen?"

Jiuhua Longyi obviously knew what kind of person his father was.

"I have severed my father-son relationship with that guy a long time ago."

"According to what you said, Jiuhua! Tell me yourself, what is your relationship with this man in front of you!"

no respond.

To be precise, Jiu Huayue doesn't dare to speak now.

Fujii Shu turned around and noticed that Jiuhua Yue was covering her face tightly. She looked at her father.
Her moist eyes were trembling, and the pain seemed to extend from her face to the depths of her heart.

Jiuhua Longyi glanced over and saw Jiuhua Yue lowering her head in front of her father.

Fujii Itsuki also knew that what he said was indeed a bit abrupt.

Suddenly asking Jiuhua to sever ties with her father was something that this girl definitely wouldn't be able to react to.

And Jiuhua must have expectations for her parents.

After all, she longs for family affection.

Fujii Itsuki turned his head and glanced at Jiuhuayue again.

The girl had tears in her eyes, a lost expression, and her hair was a mess. There was even blood on her face.

How could this father be so merciless?

Alas, Jiuhua is brave in everything.

When it comes to family emotions, I am always afraid to make a decision.

Even though her father treated her with domestic violence, she still felt that the man in front of her was her father.

I guess she still has a glimmer of hope for this family and her mother.

Too
This child had nothing before, no classmates, no friends. If she loses her family as well, she will be a rootless wanderer.

It is no wonder that she chose to run to the station to commit suicide that day. For her, there was no one in this world who could lead her and support her to make brave choices and resist.

Seeing that the two of them had been silent, Jiuhua Longyi obviously lost his patience and said anxiously:
"That's enough, Mr. Fujii. I told you, this is our family affair. I'm just teaching my daughter a lesson. You have no right to intervene. I advise you to go away and don't stop me from teaching her a lesson."

"Really? Lessons."

Fujii Itsuki took a last glance at the conspicuous bloodstain on Jiuhua Yue's face, and his gaze returned to Jiuhua Ryuichi's handsome face.

I think he is worthy of being Jiuhua's father. He is quite handsome.

"Just now, you were enjoying the fight, right?"

"Why? It's reasonable for a father to educate his daughter."

"It's nothing. As her teacher, I feel that your teaching method is a little inappropriate, Mr. Jiuhua."

Fujii Itsuki spoke slowly, as if he felt a little hot, and began to loosen his suit tie.

"We don't need an outsider to tell us how to educate our family."

"But I'm her teacher. You entrusted her to me, so I should take good care of her." Fujii Itsuki took off his tie.

".Yue will drop out of school soon, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Mr. Jiuhua, I am just an ordinary office worker. But I think that people who like to treat their daughters like this must have never suffered the same hardship."

"What are you talking about?"

"Mr. Jiuhua is so impatient."

Jiuhua Longyi listened with a frown. After Fujii Itsuki finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Fujii Itsuki's hands were clenched into fists.

The tie he had just taken off had unknowingly entangled his fist.

"you--!"

Jiuhualong realized what this guy was going to do in an instant, and his pupils shrank subconsciously.

He was about to reach out to block it.

But unexpectedly, the next second.

A fist flew into his face.
