I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 1: New season, new chance
Chapter 194 New seasons, new encounters
In September, just a week after the new semester started, Kazuma saw something strange at the gate of North Gurren High School.
A male student with a sash slung across his back with the student council president candidate standing on a podium made of stools loudly preached his campaign platform to the crowd at the door.
A female student holds a stack of flyers and shoves them one by one to passing classmates.
Out of curiosity, Kazuma also leaned over to touch a flyer. Unexpectedly, the boy standing on the simple high platform jumped down and held Kazuma's hand: "Senior Kiryu!"
He Ma was startled, at first he thought it was the junior of the Kendo club.
But there are only so many people in the Kendo club, and Kazuma has pointed fingers at most of them.
He doesn't have Alzheimer's enough to remember the faces of his juniors - although the names are indeed incomplete.
Although Japanese names are not as long as Maozi, they have a high repetition rate. There are only three Japanese names in the Kendo Department, and I can't tell who is who from Ma.
"This, who are you?" After confirming that the other party was not a junior of the Kendo Club, Kazuma was completely confused, and he didn't know how the other party knew him.
"I'm Jun Higashiide in the second grade. I heard about the deeds of my seniors and was greatly moved, so I decided to challenge myself and run for student council president!"
He Ma subconsciously glanced at the top of the guy's head, but didn't see the entry. He thought he had accidentally added a buff to someone else.
After confirming that he did not wholesale BUFF indiscriminately, Kazuma smiled and asked this Dongde Shun: "You said that my deeds inspired you, what is it?"
After all, I have done a lot of earth-shattering things in the past six months.
"Of course it's about fighting juvenile delinquents at the Kendokan, and then taking care of the gangsters in Osaka Prefecture!"
He Ma couldn't help frowning when he heard it. The former thing was fine, but the latter thing wasn't right at all, right?
He was about to correct Higashiide Shun's wrong perception, when the chairman of the committee interjected: "Dongide classmate, you should know that our third grade can only watch the student council election."
Shun Higashiide nodded: "I know! I just want to convey my respect to my seniors! Seniors, please take a good look at me fighting in the field that I am good at!"
"Ah, oh, good." He Ma could only respond like this, he was really stunned, he didn't even know that the election of the student council had already started.
The girl who was Higashiide Shun's selected partner stepped forward and stuffed a leaflet with Kazuma with a blushing face: "Please see our proposition, senior!"
He Ma looked down at the flyer and found that the flyer was not printed with a copier. This ink-filled flyer brought back memories of He Ma Jiuyuan.
When He Ma was in elementary school, the review papers were printed with the same ink printing press. The teacher used a pen to write out the papers, and then put them on the rollers of the printing press, and then manually turned the rollers to print.
You must write very hard when unrolling, so as to have the effect of seeing through the back of the paper, otherwise the print will not be clear.
When I was in junior high school, all these printing presses were obsolete, and the school started to use copiers.
Now seeing this flyer with Ma, I was suddenly shocked by time and space: So this thing was used in Japan in 1980?
At this time, the girl who distributed the flyers said: "We don't have any funds, so we can only pull out the machine used by the "North Ge's Advance News" from the warehouse of the club building."
"North Ge's Advance News" is a newspaper founded by North Ge's students during the student movement era.
And Ma was speechless, so this was something that students could afford before the 1970s?
He Ma didn't expect that it was a great miracle that he could feel the rise of the motherland in his previous life when he traveled through time and space.
He was a little excited, because in this life, he could witness this miracle more actively.
Speaking of which, I am now a true "even though I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese".
This dress can't be more foreign, even the skins are (East) foreign.
He Ma pressed the sudden surge of family and country feelings, and looked down at the campaign platform listed on the flyer.
Unsurprisingly, all the programs are empty slogans.
This is very similar to the school league general branch election that I have participated in my entire life.
A bunch of air-to-air beautiful words, and whoever gets the most votes in the end depends on the speaking ability. Anyway, the teacher doesn't matter, the general branch of the regiment is just a slapstick, whoever comes up is the life of the chores.
He Ma rebelled for a while. After taking the stage, he tore up the speech that the teacher had read, and then said a lot of things that students like to hear, such as "guaranteing the time for physical education".
He Ma originally thought that he had to get out of the limelight after he was out of the limelight, but he didn't expect that the teacher of the Youth League Committee really made He Ma a senior official of the school team based on the number of votes he received.
The teacher gave Kazuma a wicked smile.
Later, and Ma, of course, found that everything he mentioned during his speech could not be fulfilled. Later, in the school's Q group and post bar, a screenshot of a classic film and television appeared, that is, the screenshot of "Fuck, you betrayed the working class".
And Ma became a betrayal of the student class among his classmates, and when his friends met, he would say "Fuck you betrayed the student class".
The sudden surge of past life memories made Ma's heart to do things abruptly stir. He said to Higashiide Shun, "You are not the candidate supported by the last student council president, right? You can't rely on this flyer if you want to win.
"I teach you, you write. After you become the student council president, you will negotiate with the school and install air conditioners in each classroom."
Is it possible?
In this day and age, air conditioners are an expensive luxury even in Japan.
Leave those private schools aside, a public high school like North Gurdle High School can't afford it.
The school doesn't even have air conditioners in the teachers' offices. Only the science department has installed air conditioners in order to ensure the conduct of some experiments, but it is usually not turned on.
He Ma patted Dong Deshun on the shoulder and said, "The key to a campaign promise is to seize the votes. When you are elected, if you do something for everyone, everyone will praise you.
"You look at the presidents of the United States of America next door. None of them have lived up to their campaign promises, but they are still great presidents."
And then, many years later, there was an idiot who actually fulfilled his selection promises one by one, and as a result, he was about to bring America down from the altar.
Shun Higashiide gave an "oh" and nodded again and again: "I see, Kiryu-senpai's teaching is so timely. Tonight we are going to print a new campaign flyer~IndoMTL.com~ and Ma just slapped it hard. Tap Dong Chushun on the shoulder.
Then he bid farewell to the junior and walked towards the school gate.
Nanjo caught up with Kazuma and whispered, "I have mixed feelings about your speech."
"What?" He Ma asked.
"Grandpa and the others, when they started talking about business, they also let me serve tea and water. I listened to them discussing how to manipulate the mayoral election of Hachioji City. It feels...almost."
And the horse laughed.
Chairman: "This is not instigation, it is a reasonable campaign strategy. In the future, I will step down from the position of Chief Superintendent with Ma. If I want to run for Congress, I will also adopt this strategy."
"Wait a minute, you're thinking too far." He Ma was speechless, "Let's go to the University of Tokyo first."
