Chapter 37 Written Test and New Image
There are two cycles of written examination for teacher qualification certificate every year, in June and August.

Hokkaido is a little later, the third week of June and the first week of August.

Each cycle is a time for the students to have holidays.

However, Fujii Itsuki took the teaching subject qualification certificate exam, which means adding teaching subject qualifications to the existing teacher qualification certificate. The examination cycle is one cycle longer than that of the teacher qualification certificate, which is in mid-December.

That is June, August and December.

December is the shortest month, which usually starts from mid-December and ends in early January when the school season starts after the winter vacation.

There is already limited time, and government employees have three days off for the New Year, so naturally there are even fewer days for the written exam.

Generally speaking, to take the teaching qualification examination, one needs to complete the corresponding subject credits in school, but if he is a teacher with teaching experience, he can choose to register for the examination on his own during the examination period.

Fujii Itsuki made an appointment in advance, and six days after purchasing the textbooks, he prepared to go directly to the Sapporo City Education Office to take the written test.

On the morning of the written test, Chitose specially brought the Victory Sushi that she had made the night before, saying that she wanted to give Brother Shu a good farewell and wish him good luck on the exam.

She originally wanted to go out simply, but she felt that this was inappropriate, so she took the initiative to pack up the clothes for Fujii Itsuki, who usually didn't take care of himself.

"Brother Shu is going to take a formal exam, so he naturally needs to pay attention to his appearance. The examiner will be impressed by Brother Shu."

Fujii Itsuki sat in front of the mirror, looking at his sister behind him who was drying his hair with a hair dryer, and laughed: "The examiner doesn't judge the test results based on how handsome you are. In fact, Chitose just wants to help me comb my hair, right?"

"Hehe~"

Yang Kui Chitose put down the hair dryer and combed his hair with a comb while smiling at Fujii Itsuki who was sitting in the mirror, "Actually, I wanted to see how handsome Brother Itsuki looks. Obviously, Brother Itsuki looks super handsome after a little grooming."

"No way."

"Brother Shu has thick hair, and it's a little naturally curly. Actually, this fine-tooth comb is not suitable for Brother Shu. You should use a wide-tooth comb. The temperature of the hair dryer should not be too high. Use a low temperature, otherwise the hair will lose its elasticity."

"There's such a saying? Where did you learn that, Chitose?"

"These are the little bits of knowledge that girls need to know! Everyone is chatting about these things. Brother Shu, please raise your head a little bit—"

Chitose Yangkui picked up the scissors, walked in front of Fujii Itsuki, lowered her head slightly, and trimmed the ends of his hair.

Click click click.

Fujii Itsuki closed his eyes and felt a few strange itches on the back of his hands placed on his knees.

"Oh~~Done!"

Chitose Yang Kui exclaimed, and then Fujii Itsuki felt that she had put on the half-frame glasses for him.

"Brother Tree"

"how?"

"So handsome!"

Fujii Itsuki opened his eyes and stared at himself in the mirror for a few seconds.

He wears a black suit and a red tie, and his hair is slightly curled. His facial features are very clear against this hairstyle. His eyes behind half-frame glasses give him a sense of maturity and calmness, but if you look closely, you will find that he has the unique affinity of an adult male teacher.

Is this you?

Fujii Itsuki himself was a little scared.

Yang Kui Qiansui didn't react for a long time, as if he was stunned by what he was looking at.

“Brother Tree——!”

".? Chitose, wait a minute, now is not the time to hug, I just finished tidying up my suit."

The sunny smile on Chitose Yang Aoi's cute face never faded. She kept swaying left and right in front of Fujii Itsuki, her eyes seeming to be glowing.

"Brother Shu is so handsome."

"well enough."

"As expected, Mr. Taki's hairstyle suits Brother Shu very well. Oh, I should say that this hairstyle suits Brother Shu's face shape, just like an actor."

Fujii Itsuki couldn't tell how good his image was, but judging from Chitose's shining eyes, it should be in line with the aesthetic taste of these young girls.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Fujii Itsuki stood up and faced himself in the mirror.

He is very tall. Fujii Itsuki thinks that this is not only because he is from Hokkaido, but also because the dean used to use her own pension money to buy milk for him.

Dean Huadai never got married in his life and was reluctant to spend money on himself.

What she cares about most are the children in the orphanage.

Now looking at myself in the mirror, who is still quite tall, and then looking at my sister who is always smiling beside me, I feel so many emotions.

Fujii Itsuki closed his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Chitose."

Yang Kui Chitose seemed to be stunned by what she was looking at, and it took her a long time to react.

"Brother Tree, Brother Tree! Hug me! Hug me!"

"Chitose."

"Brother Shu, take a photo with me! Take a photo! You will all be so jealous!"

this.
Is it that exaggerated?

*
Take your certificates, degree certificates and other identification documents and head to Chuo-ku on the first train to Sapporo on the Hakodate Line in the morning.

Before the exam time, the exam waiting area of ​​the Education Department was already full of people.

Fujii Itsuki glanced around and found that there were quite a few young teachers of his age. They were probably college students who were about to graduate and came to take the exam in advance. There were more males, and teachers in their thirties or forties and above accounted for 30%.

He currently has two qualifications, Chinese and Art, which means he only needs to pass Mathematics and English.

When the exam time arrived, Fujii Itsuki handed over his identity information to the inspector with an ID card and entered the examination room.

The first day was mathematics. The exam lasted two hours, and Fujii Itsuki was the first to hand in his paper at 56 points.

I finished the mathematics teaching qualification test at around 11:20 in the morning. At noon, I went to Yoshinoya in Sapporo to have a bowl of beef rice. In the afternoon, I went to the Education Bureau again.

One round of written test and two rounds of interviews.

The interview will be in the afternoon.

People from the Department of Education will give scores based on these two pieces of information.

In the evening he checked into a hotel, turned off all communication devices, and read and reviewed until two in the morning.

The next day was English. According to yesterday's reference process, Fujii Itsuki was the first to hand in his paper at one hour and six minutes, and still attended the interview on time in the afternoon.

Around six in the evening, I had a meal in the city and then took the Hakodate Line back to Otaru.

The carriage was shaking, and Fujii Itsuki looked out the window. The sky was blue-green, and the blue-white sea was lapping against the long coastline, just around the corner from the railway tracks.

Buzz. Buzz.
Fujii Itsuki glanced at the old lady who was taking a rest after buying her shopping, then walked to another car to answer the phone.

[Hehe~Brother Shu, everything is going well, right?]
"The exam is difficult. But don't worry, Chitose."

[As expected of Brother Shu, I have also told my father and mother that Brother Shu will be a teacher in Jubei.]
"What did they say?"

[My mother must be very happy! At least it will let Brother Shu take care of me. My father didn’t say anything, but he must agree in his heart that Brother Shu can be my teacher.]
The Yang Kui couple are good people, and Fujii Itsuki is relieved that Chitose can grow up under their care.

[To celebrate Brother Shu’s successful completion of his exams, I’m going to bring a big~~meal over tonight.]
"But I've already eaten in Sapporo."

[It’s okay, it’s okay, you can eat it again after you eat it! ]
"Really? Besides, Chitose, you've been out so many times these days, aren't you afraid that Mr. Nagano will punish you?"

[Ah! That’s right, it’s such a pity that I can’t see Brother Shu today, so. Brother Shu, do you want to make a video call with me now? I want to chat with Brother Shu more~]
This girl, she wants to video chat with me, could it be that she just wants to see me?
[Brother Tree?]
[Chitose——!] Another call came from the phone.

Chitose Yangkui was obviously a little anxious.

[Sorry! Brother Shu, I have to help my father finish today's work ahead of time. Goodbye~ Let's video chat again in the evening~]
Toot. Toot.
Chitose decisively hung up the phone.

Fujii Itsuki put his phone back into his pocket, picked up his briefcase and shook his head.

He even began to wonder if Chitose was the legendary brother-con since she was so clingy to him.

When he got home at seven o'clock, Fujii Itsuki brushed off the snowflakes on his body, took out the key and went into the house.

The lobby of the villa still felt so empty. He came to the living room and found that there were several new machines inexplicably on the closet of the open kitchen.

Filter paper, hand pourer, hand grinder, coffee beans.

Where do these things come from?

Fujii Itsuki put down his briefcase, looked around, and when he saw no one, he heard some piano sounds and walked to the window of the living room on the first floor.

Looking outside, Jiuhuayue was sitting in a small wooden pavilion in the side yard, playing a guitar tune a little awkwardly.

The girl had beautiful black hair and her profile looked extremely serious. Fujii Itsuki did not disturb her. After she finished playing, he reached out and knocked on the window glass.

Jiuhuayue immediately raised her head and looked over.

"When did you come back?" Fujii Itsuki said with a smile to the girl outside.

"."

The girl froze.

"Nine flowers?"

"Uncle you"

"how do I?"

"Uncle, are you still you?"

Fujii Itsuki looked up and reached out to pull the hair on his forehead, "Ah, you mean this, Chitose helped me take care of it."

"."

Jiu Huayue looked at him for a few more seconds before coming back to her senses.

"Cough cough."

The girl coughed twice, closed her violet eyes, hugged her guitar, and straightened her back before answering his question, "I just came back from work this afternoon."

"Six days, almost a week. Your modeling job is so demanding? How do you handle your studies?"

"I can manage my time myself. Uncle, did you just go out? Did you find a job?"

"Just going to take the exam."

"take an exam?"

"Teacher's exam. I plan to become a teacher again and prepare to join Jubei."

"Then congratulations on finding a job. Wait, are you going to join Jubei?"

Fujii Itsuki smiled slightly, "Is it not possible?"

"What grade do you want to be a teacher?"

"Usually they start from the first grade, right? Besides, aren't you in Jubei currently in need of a formal Chinese teacher due to a transfer?"

"."

Jiu Huayue thought she was doomed, this uncle would most likely become her teacher, maybe even the head teacher of her class.

How can there be such a sloppy job at home!
Although he looks pretty handsome now in a suit and glasses.
Like a gentle teacher.

No way
I don't know what kind of mess is going on in my mind. I can't completely change my past impression of him just because he looks so good now.

Fujii Itsuki climbed out of the window, walked to the small wooden pavilion, and sat next to her.

"Bring it here."

".What are you going to do?" Jiuhuayue hugged the guitar tightly.

"We are friends. I won't hurt you. Just take it."

Jiu Huayue hesitated for a second, then handed the guitar in her arms to him with both hands, "Take it."

This girl's eyes sparkle extremely brightly at night, like purple gems.

"Thank you."

Fujii Itsuki tested the sound, turned the tuning pegs, and roughly tuned it.

"Where's the music?"

"Ah? Here." Jiuhuayue took out her cell phone again.

Fujii Itsuki pinched his chin, took a look, and nodded, "I see, this is the song you like, look at me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guitar in his hand began to play a series of beautiful musical notes, crisp, clean and neat without any drag.

Although there was no singing, Jiuhuayue felt her heart surge when she heard it.

Because this is almost the same level as the one played by the original author!
At this moment, she didn't want to ask why Fujii Itsuki could play the guitar. She just wanted to put her hands on her face and listen to him play patiently.

"Yes, it is like that."

Fujii Itsuki put down the guitar, looked at the frets and said, "The difficulty of this song lies in the minor chords. Jiuhua, pay attention to your 7th. The half-diminished th has a gloomy character. It is an important pre-dominant chord in this minor song. Pay attention to the dynamics. In addition, when transitioning between chords, you also need to pay attention to the pure melody. You didn't have it just now, so it doesn't sound as soothing as the original song."

"."

Jiu Huayue tilted her head slightly upwards and looked at him, feeling extremely incredible.

"Uncle, why do you play the guitar?"

"Why wouldn't I? Did I ever say I wouldn't?"

"Aren't you a Chinese teacher?"

"That's true, but I was also the concertmaster of the orchestra in college, and I led our university's wind band to win the gold medal. I was also a member of the wind band in high school."

".!"

how come.
Jiu Huayue was confused, she didn't expect that the perverted uncle she thought at the beginning was actually the conductor of the orchestra in college!

"You--Uncle, you are so talented, why don't you become a music teacher?!"

Fujii Itsuki held his guitar, looking through the eaves of the small wooden pavilion, looking at the snow in the night illuminated by the lights in the living room, and after thinking for a while, he replied:
"Well, novels are more interesting to me. I joined the brass band in junior high and high school because I had to join a club. The literature department was a lazy club in that school, and there were too many people, so I couldn't join. I joined the brass band in college to participate in competitions and win more honors, which made it easier for me to be a teacher for more than ten years. It can be considered a semi-hobby."

"."

Jiuhuayue felt like she was hit hard.

She has been practicing for so long without any guidance from a teacher. And how could an uncle who lives in her own home and often doesn't take care of herself be so good? !
But that's not true. It seems that in terms of art, the sloppier the uncle is, the more advanced his skills are.

"I still can't accept it. You're so amazing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Strange, why did I say it earlier? Music isn't something to show off. I don't use it normally, so there's no need to tell you. Or do you not like the guitar I played just now?"

When Jiuhuayue saw the look in his eyes, she blushed immediately.

The girl immediately retracted her gaze, clenched her hands around the edge of her skirt, lowered her head, and said as if she was holding her breath:
"No, you play very well."

Fujii Itsuki saw her blushing, so he asked her in a normal tone:

"Do you need me to teach you? I remember you wanted to play Kasuga Kage well and give it to someone, right?"

Jiu Huayue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
The girl immediately averted her gaze and covered her face with her hands.

牙白
Today's uncle really gives people a different feeling. After wearing glasses, he looks much more intellectual and bookish. He also has a hidden identity as the band's principal.

No matter how you think about it, this is the background setting of a successful man.

But why when I first met him, he looked like an old man who was decadent about everything?

it's wired.
The contrast between before and after was so strange that she couldn't accept it.

Perverted uncle. Perverted uncle. Perverted uncle.
Only by repeating this name in her mind countless times and comparing his image with that of the perverted old man who always liked to smoke could she calm down.

"Give me the guitar first."

"Well, take it."

Jiu Huayue took the guitar, took a deep breath, sat up straight, and her expression became cold:
"Thank you, uncle. I won't need it for now. I still want to work hard on practicing this song."

"Really? As a friend, I have no problem teaching you. Besides, I think you have great talent and can reach that level by self-study. I thought the Kasuga Shadow last time was very nice, especially your singing. Mm, it sounded very emotional."

When Jiu Huayue heard this, she hugged the guitar tighter and tighter, and her face, which had been cold just now, turned red in an instant. She stood up suddenly, lowered her head, and interrupted him.

".Pervert uncle."

".?"

"Sorry, I'm very tired after sitting on the plane all afternoon. I want to go back to sleep."

Before he could say anything, Jiu Huayue said nothing, lowered her head, and walked out of the small wooden pavilion quickly with her guitar in her arms.

Fujii Itsuki stared at her long black hair that quickly disappeared in the snowy night and pinched his chin.

Was this girl simply stressed out by hearing me praise her, or was she shy?
The girl's mind is indeed difficult to guess.
