Chapter 1525: Chapter 1029 Busy Days_3
“Teacher?”
“Hmm?”
Duanmu Huai turned around, only to see Huang’zen Kumiko looking nervously at him.
“What are you doing here?”
“I ca to deliver the math notes… Teacher, senior Asuka, she…”
“…….”
Looking at Huang’zen Kumiko in front of him, Duanmu Huai sighed and glanced around. Yes, news travels fast among students, and quite a few students saw Tanaka’s mother’s outburst earlier. Clearly, Huang’zen Kumiko was among them.
It’s just a matter of ti before others know about this.
But this indeed is a problem… Oh well, who would expect to be the advisor?
Duanmu Huai silently sighed again, looking at Huang’zen Kumiko.
“Alright, I’ll explain during practice after class. You can go back now.”
“Yes.”
Just as Duanmu Huai thought, the incident involving Tanaka Asuka’s mother causing a scene in the staff room quickly spread throughout the school. For others, it might just be a spectacle, but for the Wind Band Club, it was a matter of life and death. After all, Tanaka Asuka was the principal euphonium player. Although the euphonium wasn’t as prominent as the violin or trumpet, as a competent piece of “background music,” it was indispensable.
Not to ntion Tanaka Asuka was also the vice president of the Wind Band Club. Frankly, compared to Ogata Haruka, the timid president, she was more respected.
Therefore, for the Wind Band Club, this was indeed a matter of life and death.
So, when Duanmu Huai arrived at the music room, everyone was already in position. Seeing Duanmu Huai step onto the podium, they all seed a bit nervous—after all, in the minds of the band mbers, Duanmu Huai seldom took the podium unless sothing significant was going on.
“Alright, I know what you want to ask.”
Seeing the mbers below looking at him pitifully, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
“I’ll just be direct. The situation is simple. Tanaka Asuka’s mother believes that studying is the most important thing right now, so she asked Tanaka Asuka to quit the Wind Band Club. However, the head teacher and Tasuku respected Tanaka Asuka’s autonomy and ultimately did not agree to Tanaka’s mother’s request—do you understand now?”
“Phew……”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s straightforward answer, many students below breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t lie to them; if he said this so casually, it was likely the truth.
However, for Duanmu Huai, this was just the beginning.
“Alright, I’m not finished yet; don’t be too happy too soon.”
Duanmu Huai tapped the desk, making the other students tense up again.
“Although this incident was sudden, it is not an isolated case. I’ll take this opportunity to say that this isn’t solely Tanaka Asuka’s issue; it concerns all of you!”
As he said this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, glaring at the students.
“Among you, there are quite a few third-year students who are also about to graduate. Indeed, I can understand Tanaka’s mother’s concern. If you plan to pursue music as a career path, then ignore what I’m saying. But if you don’t plan to rely on music schools, like Asuka, and aim for a regular university, then practice right now would undoubtedly take up your study ti, wouldn’t it? Do you think your parents would be fine with that?”
“…….”
As expected, upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
“And those of you in the first and second years shouldn’t think this has nothing to do with you. You will eventually beco third-year students as well. Our Wind Band Club has already entered the national competition. What will happen this year, we can’t say yet, but next year—will we make it to the nationals again? And after that? If we aim to participate every year, then this level of practice will beco a norm!”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, he stared at the students, who seed to finally understand his point, their expressions turning serious.
“I’ll be blunt, I completely understand Tanaka’s mother’s concern. If you don’t plan to pursue music in the future, spending so much ti practicing is a waste. I’m sure many of your parents share my thoughts. So, I suggest you talk with your parents about your future plans and visions.”
“Plans and visions?”
“That’s right, not about the national competition, but what kind of life you want in the future, what plans do you have. Don’t think you have all the ti in the world; three years of high school will pass in the blink of an eye! I want you to think clearly about what entering the national competition ans to you! Because the Wind Band Club isn’t the sa as it used to be! If we want to enter national competitions and win trophies, we must train diligently! And training will undoubtedly take ti away from your studies!”
“…………..”
At this point, not only the third-years, but even the first and second-year students had beco serious. Indeed, without considering what results they might achieve this year, if asked whether they wanted to enter the national competition next year, they would certainly still want to.
However, they had overlooked one thing: to enter the national competition, a massive amount of practice was necessary… which would undoubtedly take ti away from studying.
