Listening to the words of Rikka Takanashi's grandmother, Kazuto Yuyama suddenly felt self-doubt. Is this still the Rikka Takanashi that he knew?
It's as if Princess Qiao Biluo turned on the beauty camera. She has become a completely different person.
!
What about the pirate game? What on earth is that? And the frequency of this word being mentioned by Rikka Takanashi’s grandmother is quite high, and Yushan Kazuto is completely confused.
"What about the pirate game? I'm not entirely sure! I just know that Rikka is wearing an eye patch. Isn't that the pirate from TV?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "So the pirate game is just a form of chuunibyou. Is this how you view chuunibyou?"
It can be seen that Rikka Takanashi's grandmother and grandfather have completely different personalities, which surprised Kazuto Yushan a little.
"So, Grandma Kotori, Rikka is here, is there anyone who wants to play the pirate game with her?" Touma Sanae suddenly asked.
"It seems there is a little girl named Xiaoyou, but she hasn't been here for a long time."
Rikka Takanashi's grandmother reminisced and suddenly remembered something: "I remember an interesting thing that happened between Rikka and Xiaoyou when they were young. Now I'll tell you about it."
The two listened attentively and couldn't help laughing when they heard the projection of Rikka as a child trying to fish a bicycle out of the water like a monkey trying to fish for the moon.
"At that time, Liuhua and Xiaoyou tried many times, but they always failed. After getting their clothes wet, they ran to me crying. I bought her a new bicycle, but she fell on the first day of learning to ride a bicycle and never rode again."
Chapter 827 Plan C Launched
"Messenger!"
Kazuto Hayama was still listening to Rikka Takanashi's grandmother talking about the happy childhood of Rikka Takanashi. Rikka Takanashi had already appeared on the stairs and couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Kazuto Hayama.
"Rikka."
Yushan Kazuto stood up and blinked involuntarily. He was so engrossed in listening to the joke that twenty minutes had already passed.
Rikka Takanashi ran down the stairs at a very fast speed, but she seemed to have lost her balance when she stepped on the floor and staggered a little. Kazuto Yuyama hurriedly supported her.
"Messenger..." Rikka Takanashi looked at Kazuto Hayama, her voice full of surprise. After her grandfather hung up the phone yesterday, she thought she would never have the chance to see Kazuto Hayama again, but she didn't expect that Kazuto Hayama would be standing in front of her now.
Upstairs, an old man walked out of the room and looked at Yushan and others with a look of majesty in his eyes.
Hayama Kazuto blinked and whispered beside Takanashi Rikka, "Remember to call Sanae by her name, not her nickname."
Rikka Takanashi was a little confused, but still nodded.
The two of them returned to their seats together and sat very straight. Rikka Takanashi's grandfather slowly walked down the stairs and sat opposite them.
"You are? The person that Rikka called yesterday?" Rikka Takanashi's grandfather asked straight to the point.
Yushan Heren blinked. He didn't expect that the other party would be so aggressive. There was no politeness at all. He just opened his mouth and went straight to the core topic.
"Yes, it's me." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather glanced at Hayama Kazuto and was also a little surprised. He thought that Hayama Kazuto would try to cover it up, but he didn't expect that he would agree to it directly.
This made the sermon he was going to prepare for next go to waste, so he could only knock lightly on the table.
Rikka Takanashi's grandmother stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Would you like to introduce yourself?" asked Rikka Takanashi's grandfather.
"I'm Kazuto Hayama, and this is Sanae Touma. They're both good friends of Rikka." Kazuto Hayama said very briefly, emphasizing the word "good friends".
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather glanced at Hayama Kazuto and it was obvious that Hayama Kazuto and Hayama were already aware of Rikka Takanashi's situation and were using the bond between them and Rikka to support her in disguise.
But he is old after all, and has experienced many ups and downs. This weak demonstration does not have much effect on him.
"Hayama Kazuto? That's a nice name. From Tokyo?"
"No, I'm from Chiba, and Sanae is from Tokyo." said Hayama Kazuto.
"Chiba? Chiba and Tokyo are the same, both are in Kanto." said Rikka Takanashi's grandfather. Although he didn't sound very emotional, he was subtly reminding Rikka Takanashi of the difference between Kanto and Kansai.
Since she grew up in Kansai, and in a relatively backward place like Mihama Town, Rikka Takanashi's accent inevitably carries a bit of the Kansai accent.
When she was in Tokyo, although no one made fun of her accent, she was actually aware that some people in her class didn't like her very much.
Even though Rikka Takanashi didn't care much about other people's eyes, she still felt a little uncomfortable when this was mentioned.
Hayama Kazuto just smiled and said, "Don't Kanto and Kansai belong to this country? This is not the era of the daimyo anymore."
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather glanced at Kazuto Hayama. He didn't expect that Kazuto Hayama was still young, but he had a thorough understanding of many things. He also subtly hinted that he was a relic of the old era.
He was naturally unhappy about this, but there wasn't much he could do. Yushan and others spoke in a rather vague way, so he couldn't get angry.
The two of them started chatting, and their words were full of innuendos, both explicit praise and implicit criticism. Sanae Toumori and Rikka Takanashi didn't quite understand what they were saying, but they still started chatting.
Toumori Sanae has always maintained a dignified posture, showing off her temperament as a rich lady to the fullest.
Rikka Takanashi also remembered what Kazuto Hayama said, and the content of her conversations with Sanae Toumori were all serious.
The two even talked about their academic performance, classmates, and further schools. Rikka Takanashi's grandfather also looked at them from time to time with some surprise in his eyes.
……
As they chatted, it was soon time for lunch. Rikka Takanashi's grandmother was a very good cook, and Jukka Takanashi might have learned her cooking skills from her.
After lunch, Toumori Sanae followed Rikka Takanashi upstairs. According to her, the two girls had something to talk about in private. As for Hayama Kazuto, he was still sitting at the table, arguing with Rikka Takanashi's grandfather.
……
"Shh, the Evil King's True Eyes." When they arrived at Rikka Takanashi's room, Sanae Toumori returned to her true nature, hunching her body and looking like she was about to do something bad.
Rikka Takanashi was originally talking, but after hearing what Sanae Touma said, she lowered her voice and said, "Thor's Hammer User, what are your plans?"
"I have prepared several plans, but I have to confirm their feasibility in advance, death! Evil King True Eye, tell me, your grandparents' daily habits at noon, do they take a nap? Is there any special action route at noon, death?"
"My grandmother would take a break at noon, but my grandfather wouldn't. After lunch, he would force me to study."
Takanashi Rikka said sadly that they would have a break at noon.
There is no time to rest. I start studying after lunch.
As a result, after studying for so many days, Rikka Takanashi's grades did not improve, and even declined a little. This made Rikka Takanashi's grandfather very dissatisfied, and he treated Rikka Takanashi much more strictly.
"Will Grandma Kotori take a break at noon?" Touma Sanae blinked, "I see, plan C will be activated, take this thing."
Toumori Sanae took out a small bag and placed it in Takanashi Rikka's hand. She took out her phone and sent a message before saying, "I'm going downstairs first. Staying upstairs for too long will cause suspicious death! Evil King True Eyes, just wait in the room for the plan to be implemented."
Rikka Takanashi nodded a little confusedly, and watched Sanae Toumori walk out of the room, her eyes blinking involuntarily.
When he opened the small bag that Sanae Toumori gave him, he found a mobile phone and a foldable soft leather storage bag inside. The material of the storage bag was a bit like silicone, but much softer than ordinary silicone.
Looking at the item in her hand, Rikka Takanashi was still a little confused and grabbed her eye patch with one hand: "The Evil King's True Eyes, the seal is lifted, let me see what your true face is!"
Chapter 828: Subjective Initiative
"Okay, I roughly understand what you mean."
"You were a college teacher before, and you have a wealth of educational experience and knowledge reserves."
"So after seeing that Rikka passed all the final exams, I wanted her to study hard at home, and you to tutor her in person, so that Rikka can be admitted to a good college."
"But aren't you curious, why Rikka suddenly passed the exam?" Hayama Kazuto looked at Rikka Takanashi's grandfather with a smile.
Toumori Sanae walked out of Rikka Takanashi's room and appeared on the stairs. Kazuto Hayama glanced at her, and she immediately sat down obediently at the table.
"I don't know much about this."
Although Rikka Takanashi's grandfather has a strict personality, fortunately he is still a pragmatic person and will admit it frankly when he is not sure.
Hayama Kazuto smiled and said, "Perhaps Rikka didn't show you the results of the previous test."
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather shook his head. He only knew that Rikka Takanashi passed the final exam for the first time in her life, and he knew nothing else.
Rikka Takanashi would not tell him about Touka Takanashi's personality, nor would she say such gossipy words.
"The girl next to you, Sanae Toumori, is Rikka's classmate. In her hands are all of Rikka Takanashi's report cards from last semester." Kazuto Hayama said with a smile.
Toumori Sanae took out a folded report card from her pocket and opened it carefully. It recorded all of Rikka Takanashi's test scores from the previous semester.
When Rikka Takanashi's grandfather saw the report card, his pupils contracted a little. From the table, it can be seen that except for the final exam, the scores of the other tests were declining sharply.
If drawn as a graph, it would be a curve that goes downward and gradually approaches zero, and eventually even becomes a straight line that coincides with zero.
However, during the final exam, the curve suddenly turned a corner, causing Rikka's score to rise to a height that Rikka Akainu had never reached before.
"You mean... Rikka's final grade is..." Rikka Takanashi's grandfather clenched his teeth.
It was hard for him to think of any other possibility for this kind of performance curve except cheating.
"You have been teaching Rikka for so many days, you should have a better understanding of her level."
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather suddenly lost his mind again. It was indeed as Kazuto Yuyama said, he had taught Rikka Takanashi for so many days and already had some understanding of Rikka Takanashi's performance.
Although Rikka Takanashi's grades haven't improved much these days, she is still at a passing level.
As a retired college teacher, Rikka Takanashi's grandfather fell into deep thought.
"Could it be? Rikka's grades are related to you?" Looking at Kazuto Yushan and Sanae Toumori, the two of them specifically mentioned this point, which should have been premeditated.
"Sanae, show your results to Mr. Takanashi." said Yushan Kazuto.
Sanae Toumori took out another A4 paper, on which were printed all of Sanae Toumori's grades from last semester.
When seeing Sanae Touma's report card with close to perfect scores, Rikka Takanashi's grandfather wished that the report card was Rikka Takanashi's.
"At school, Rikka and I are good friends, so I will help her with her studies." said Toumori Sanae.
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather thought about it and felt a little strange. If Sanae Touma had been helping Rikka Takanashi with her studies, then how do they explain her previous decline in grades?
"Then, can you explain why Rikka's grades always dropped in every exam before?" asked Rikka Takanashi's grandfather.
"It's simple, because no one is urging her." Yushan Kazuto said, "Although Sanae will help Rikka, but without anyone to urge her, her learning progress is very slow."
"In other words, you should play the role of a supervisor?" Rikka Takanashi's grandfather looked at Kazuto Hayama.
"That's right." Yushan Kazuto admitted frankly.
"Regarding what you have done for Rikka, I am very grateful to you, but Rikka is just your friend after all, and you have your own things to do. Now, please return the role of supervisor and counselor to me."
Said Rikka Takanashi’s grandfather.
"So, Mr. Takanashi, do you think you can play these two roles properly?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
This question was a bit too much, but Rikka Takanashi's grandfather didn't have much to refute. Although he had been teaching Rikka Takanashi carefully these days, Rikka Takanashi had made no progress.
"I think that from an educational perspective, urging others to move forward will only backfire. The right way is to stimulate people's subjective initiative." Yushan Heren said slowly.
This principle is naturally understood by Rikka Takanashi's grandfather, who has been engaged in education for many years, but he is also very aware of the difficulty of stimulating people's subjective initiative.
Is Yushan Kazuto already speaking so boldly and aggressively at such a young age?
"So, do you think you can inspire Rikka's initiative?" asked Rikka Takanashi's grandfather.
"Haven't I already proved this?" Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
In fact, he was not sure about it, because his guidance to Rikka Takanashi was a bit like cramming.
But his method of cramming is a little different from the ordinary one. Others stuff rice into the duck's mouth and let the duck eat slowly, digesting and absorbing it slowly.
Yushan Kazuto directly injected glucose into the duck's body.
In the lab, two duck protectors were arranged to monitor the ducks' movements, so Rikka Takanashi's performance has made rapid progress.
Of course, in fact, Rikka Takanashi is not very resistant to this process. For students, cramming by different people will have completely different effects.
In fact, from a passive perspective, Kazuto Hayama has already stimulated a small amount of subjective initiative in Rikka Takanashi.
Rikka Takanashi's grandfather looked at Hayama Kazuto and thought something in his mind. Judging from Rikka Takanashi's performance curve, excluding the fact that Rikka Takanashi had taken random exams before and cheated in the final exam, it seemed that the truth of the matter was just as Hayama Kazuto said.
However, it is still a bit difficult for him, a veteran who has been working in the education field for decades, to admit that his educational level is not as good as that of a young person like Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Kazuto seemed to see through the other party's thoughts and smiled softly: "After all, Mr. Kotori, don't you just want Rikka to go to a good high school, and then work hard in high school and get into a decent university?"
"That's exactly what I think." Rikka Takanashi's grandfather did not deny it.
"Then I should introduce you to this person here."
Chapter 829: First courtesy, then force, means and purpose
"Let's review it again. Her name is - Touma Sanae. Mr. Takanashi, don't you think the surname Touma is very rare?" asked Yushan Kazuto with a smile.
Anyone who has been active in the education field in the past decade or so should know about the Sakura Education Group, now a giant in Japanese education, an integrated education group covering kindergarten to university.
