I play the wind instrument in Hokkaido.

"Oh, of course I didn't mean you're very free!"

To her, Kitahara Hakuba was just as terrifying as Takigawa-sensei; their tones of voice were so similar! And they both seemed so gentle.

No, he might be even more terrifying than Taki-sensei. He might have his own ruthless methods behind the scenes, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand out in Hokkaido.

Kitahara Hakuba said with a smile:

"It's alright. I bought your Kitauji Kansai Grand Prix CD before, and the performance of the freestyle piece 'Rainy Night Moon' was excellent."

To the right is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and sunlight filters through the glass, casting shadows on Kumiko's skin.

"Yes, I think so too." She pursed her lips.

As a teacher, she didn't want to deny it.

“But we may still be some distance from the national gold medal,” Kitahara Hakuba suddenly said fearlessly.

What? "

Kumiko still had a smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth were twitching.

"why?"

Kitahara Hakuba, his hand resting on the armrest, said with a mischievous grin:

"Although we're having a good chat right now, our two schools are enemies on stage. Do you think I would say that so easily, Miss Huang?"

"Hehehe." Kumiko watched as he gave a wry smile.

Pretentious:

"But Miss Huang is very lovely. I'm only mentioning it to you out of respect for you. Whether you want to hear it or not is up to you."

Kitahara Hakuba's hands moved unconsciously in the air as he calmly spoke.

"Your brass section is indeed very good, but the percussion is not dense enough in the middle section of the piece. You should have paid attention to the scene in the middle section when you chose this piece."

His gaze was fixed on her, and Kumiko realized he was treating her like a student, demanding an answer:

"Is the rain intensifying?"

"There's the gentleness of the moonlight, the dynamism of the wind and rain, but your timpani and triangle failed to adequately handle the dense task of conveying the raindrops falling to the ground, resulting in insufficient tension and a lack of dynamism. This is a very complex scene."

The layers are even more complex than Shenxu's Free Song—

Chapter 244, Section 243: The long-dormant system's mission is... to poach talent! (4K)

Immediately afterwards, Kitahara Hakuba pointed out areas he believed could be improved. (End of article! This website updates the latest chapters quickly.)

For example, adding a thunderclap to imitate the sound of thunder and increase the musical tension, and requiring the percussion section to use a rolling motion to imitate the continuous roar of thunder.

"However, these are all my subjective thoughts. As fellow advisors, we may have different views on the same piece of music."

Kitahara Hakuba said with a smile.

Kumiko was initially a little angry, after all, everyone had persevered for so long to make it to the national tournament, and this person just said, "You are still far from being gold."

But now, with his opinion pointed out, Kumiko has to take a broader perspective and re-examine whether the current Kitauji brass band can win the national gold medal.

Because what he said was truly insightful, even she felt enlightened after listening to it.

This person is truly skilled.

“Okay, I got it.” Kumiko nodded.

Just as the musician is arrogant, so too is the advisor. To put it bluntly, he's always pointing fingers and giving unsolicited advice. It's already quite remarkable that Kumiko can listen to his opinions calmly.

Upon entering the conference room, the lighting was soft, the chairs were neatly arranged, and the teachers from various places sat scattered about, creating a very quiet atmosphere.

A small sunflower hair accessory was clipped to the notebook.

Kitahara Hakuba sat down next to her and said:

"You still have this habit?"

"Yeah, it would be terrible if I forgot." Kumiko watched him put his bag aside, then took out her phone and started scrolling through short videos.

"Teacher Kitahara, aren't you taking notes?" she couldn't help but ask.

Kitahara Hakuba paused for a moment, then looked at her and smiled, "I'm sorry, Professor Huangqian, I don't have that habit."

"?"

His extremely relaxed reaction stunned Kumiko. She had thought that experts like him would be very serious, but she didn't expect him to be even more casual than Taki-sensei.

"Are all the brass band members at Shin-Asahi High School geniuses?" Kumiko couldn't help but ask.

“There are a few geniuses,” Kitahara Hakuba admitted.

"Oh

"

No wonder it's so pleasant

During the wait, teachers kept coming in, many of whom were young people of similar age, and there were even girls wearing miniskirts.

At that moment, a message popped up in Kitahara Hakuba's eyes, so much so that he paused for a moment to read it.

It's actually a system that's been dormant for a long time!

[Department Recruitment Task: Appoint Kumiko Oumae as the Vice Advisor of the Shin Asahi Brass Band Club]

[Task Reward 1 -]

[Open Heart: This character has outstanding action ability and an A rating in team cohesion, ensuring that interpersonal relationships within the team always develop positively]

[The Ancestor's Legacy: If the host leaves the Shin-Asahi Brass Band, Kumiko will receive the "legacy," which will increase her guidance ability during her professional training period, and the host will still receive the member upgrade rewards.]

Kitahara Hakuba stared at the system entry that popped up. This "open your heart" feature seemed quite useful.

If Kumiko were to communicate with Nagase and the other two, wouldn't that help restore the relationship between the three girls?

This is pretty good. -m￠an′k?an?s?hu^.`c/o,m′

"Next is the legacy of an ancestor." Although he didn't quite understand who this ancestor was, Kitahara Hakuba felt that it probably wasn't himself.

This means that even if he leaves the company, as long as Kumiko serves as an advisor in the Shin-Asahi Brass Band, he can still receive money whenever a member's rank is promoted.

It's incredibly useful; it's like Kumiko is working for him!

I absolutely want this Kitahara Hakuba; it gives me the feeling of collecting rent while lying down.

"Teacher Huangqian, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Kitahara Hakuba tried his best to show a gentle smile.

Kumiko blinked: "What's wrong?"

What's going on? There seems to be a hint of possessiveness in the man's eyes as he looks at me.

Kitahara Hakuba raised his hand and grabbed a handful of his bangs, saying:

"Although it may be a bit abrupt, would you be willing to become my deputy advisor?"

"Your deputy advisor?" Kumiko was suddenly stunned, a bitter smile appearing on her lips as she said, "This... is indeed a bit abrupt."

"

Kitahara Hakuba's gaze swept over her chest. Kumiko's was nice, but really not big.

"Mr. Taki will probably be teaching at Kitauji High School for many more years, right? If you come to Shin-Asahi, you might be able to become the chief advisor very soon."

Kumiko maintained a forced smile throughout.

"I'm very confident that the Shenxu Wind Ensemble will win gold this year. If you add to the list now, I'll lower my expectations, but things might get a bit complicated after we win gold."

"Huh?"

Kumiko involuntarily hunched her shoulders.

Is he serious?

Kitahara Hakuma clasped his hands on his thighs and said with a smile:

"How about it? I won't force you. You can give me a vague answer now. After the national conference, I'm willing to reserve a position for you at Shenxu."

Kumiko was speechless after hearing his words.

She raised her hand, grabbed her hair which was tied in a single ponytail, and smiled shyly:

"What do you see in me, Kitahara-sensei? Or are you some kind of relative of my parents?"

Kitahara Hakuba seemed to finally voice the promise he had been holding in his heart for so long:

"Because Teacher Huang Qian has a very nice voice, I really like your personality, and it would be more relaxing to work with you."

So that's why?!

Kumiko, who had hoped he would say, "Actually, I value your guidance abilities," was inevitably disappointed.

However, it seems unrealistic that she's only been a vocational teacher for a few years and yet other consultants have taken a liking to her.

Her previously tense body relaxed without her even realizing it.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but right now I just want to..."

“I can give Miss Huang a deposit of five million privately.”

"Mingwa-i!"

Kumiko's relaxed mood instantly turned tense again, and her strange cry drew the attention of several teachers. She quickly covered her mouth, looked at Kitahara Hakuba beside her, and said somewhat angrily:

Is it funny to tease me?

“I’m not joking. If you don’t believe me, I can transfer it to you today. 3?? Read: Book House << Novel>?; Net??￡ _? First| Release?.” Kitahara Hakuba said.

After all, five million is nothing to him now. He would even consider fifty million if he could have Kumiko.

Kumiko looked at Kitahara Hakuba with concern, but what she saw was a very serious and handsome face.

Is he serious?

No, no, even if it were real, it's impossible!

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes walked in, and the teachers in the front row all straightened up.

After an introduction, he said he was some kind of official from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. After a round of applause, the presentation lit up. Even though Kitahara Hakuba really wanted to give Kumiko a talking-to, now was not the right time to speak.
