Playing Secrets in Persona

After the two of them walked up to the second floor together, they separated. The first-year students were on the third floor, and the second-year students were on the second floor.

Amamiya Ren didn’t know his class, but he knew which teacher was in charge of his class. Now he just needed to go to the teacher’s office to find the teacher in charge.

“”Knock, knock, knock!”

After knocking on the door, Amamiya Lian walked into the office.

It was not yet time for the official class, so the teacher in charge of the second grade…

There were five rows of teachers’ offices in the office, with three teachers sitting in each row, and a total of fifteen teachers sitting in the office. Some teachers were eating breakfast, some were typing on the keyboard, and some were preparing lessons with materials.

It seemed that every teacher was making preparations.

Amamiya Lian found the teacher in charge of him at once.

It was a female teacher, wearing a beige wool sweater and a brown-black skirt. The hem of the skirt had hung below the knees, which was very suitable for a female teacher’s outfit, but the clothes and skirt looked a little old.

Some woolen threads could be seen at the hem of the sweater, and the brown color on the skirt was a little fuzzy, which should be a phenomenon after being washed many times.

But this female teacher looked only in her twenties. Even if as a female teacher, she couldn’t wear bright clothes, the new and old wouldn’t affect the problem, right? So, this teacher lives a frugal life?

Amamiya Lian collected this part of the information and walked in front of the teacher.

“Good morning, Teacher Kawakami.”

The female teacher’s name is Kawakami Sadae, who is relatively young compared to other teachers.

Her delicate face is not too much made-up, and her slightly curly long hair should be natural.

She should be a very beautiful female teacher with a good image, but she exudes a sense of dejection.

She has heavy bags under her eyes, and I don’t know if it is caused by the pressure of teaching.

It is obviously early in the morning, but she does not see a trace of youthful vitality, but has a bit of old age, which makes people feel very strange.

“You are…ah, Amemiya.”

Maybe it was because he was wearing thick glasses and a white mask that almost covered his entire face, so Kawakami didn’t recognize him for a moment.

“You came at the right time today, Amamiya.”

It was rare that Amamiya Ren felt a hint of sharpness from Kawakami, but this feeling did not last long before it was covered by weakness and fatigue.

He did not say much, took off the mask strap hanging behind his ears, revealing his pale face.

“Do you really have a cold?”

It seems that Kawakami thought he was a student who deliberately asked for leave and didn’t come to school. Amamiya Ren put on the belt again and coughed twice.

“Ahem, Mr. Kawakami, I really have a fever.”

“I see… Amemiya, have you taken your medicine today?”

“I’ve eaten. I took my temperature this morning and it’s back to normal, but I still have a little cough.”

Amamiya Ren could feel some concern for the students in Kawakami’s tired eyes. It was only then that she felt Kawakami was a normal teacher.

“It must be because the temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days. I was moving and sorting things, so I accidentally caught a cold.”

Kawakami looked at him for a while and nodded slightly.

“It seems so.”

Now that he knew his new student didn’t ask for leave on purpose, Kawakami’s eyes regained their previous fatigue, and the rare sharpness was quickly restrained.

Kawakami looked at the time, then stood up with his hands supporting his body, but it seemed that he stood up too quickly, and Kawakami’s body looked a little shaky.

「Is your health so bad?」

「Or are teachers nowadays very hard at work every day, and spend all their time grading homework and preparing lessons at night, leaving them with very little time to rest?”

Amamiya Ren was not sure if this was the case. It seemed that none of his teachers in the past had such a bad health. Of course, it might also be because public schools are not as competitive as private schools.

He silently kept Kawakami’s situation in mind. This school has big problems, and the situation of each teacher needs to be understood as much as possible.

After standing up straight, Kawakami picked up the folder that had been placed on the table for a long time.

“Let’s go, Amamiya, you still need to introduce yourself to the students in the class.”

Following Kawakami’s footsteps, he went to his class.

Standing next to the podium, Amamiya Ren could see the situation of the entire class at a glance, and the situation of several students particularly caught his attention.

There were purple marks on the forehead, left cheek and corners of the mouth, which looked like bruises caused by external blows.

In addition to this male student with serious bruises on his face, there were several other male students who had bandages on their hands, and even hung them around their necks, looking like they had broken bones.

The situation of the female students was much better, and there was almost no one with purple bruises on their faces. However, among the many girls, Amamiya Ren found a familiar face. A cute blonde mixed-race girl, the one who got into the car of a male teacher named”Kanoshida”.

“This is the new student who will be transferring to our class and studying with everyone from today.”

“He had a cold yesterday and took a day off. He is not feeling well today. Please be careful not to bully him.”

Kawakami briefly introduced the new student’s situation and explained that the new student was not feeling well and needed everyone’s care. This was considered as fulfilling the basic obligations of a teacher.

“Then, Yu Gong, please introduce yourself.”

Yu Gong Lian nodded slightly

“Amamiya Ren, I’m not very good at speaking, please give me some advice.”

Kawakami looked at him in surprise, thinking, is there anyone who is so bad at speaking?

But seeing that the child really had nothing else to say, Kawakami could only take over the conversation with a little embarrassment.

“……That’s the thing. This child is a bit introverted and not very good at talking.”

“Okay, Amamiya, find a seat first… Well, just sit in the empty seat behind Takamaki.”

Amamiya Lian nodded slightly, without saying anything else, and walked to his seat with his bag.

The back row is next to the window, which is a very close seat.

He passed by the mixed-race girl and didn’t say anything. He sat in his seat directly, put down his schoolbag and started listening to the teacher’s class.

“OK, now let’s start the class.”
