Although my words are poor, I have great respect for my teacher. I hope these words can help the teacher in some small way.
Finally, I hope that teachers can always move forward and be open-minded.
Matsumae Shinharu, I would like to express my apologies.
]
“Why not just do as we did in the past, break free bravely, and move forward.”
Fujii Itsuki murmured this sentence and laughed.
Miss Matsumae's words really woke me up.
It just happened to coincide with my thoughts this morning.
[If you want to prove that you are not afraid of failure, you must face failure, just as my father always taught me]
Instead of struggling internally about whether to care about past failures, it is better to deny them directly through actions.
Instead of wandering in confusion, it is better to move forward in confusion. Perhaps, you can really find your own "real thing" again.
Matsumae Kokoharu, ah Matsumae Kokoharu.
In a sense, she really understands herself.
Yep.
It is better to choose a day than to hit it.
Fujii Itsuki has decided to try to apply for the teaching job again tomorrow.
Chapter 36: Nine Flowers and Thousand Qins
Just do it without any hesitation.
That evening, Fujii Itsuki searched the Internet for recruitment requirements published on the official website of Tachibana North College.
Jubei is worthy of being Jubei. The requirements for Chinese teachers are quite strict. Not only are applicants required to have a Chinese language teaching qualification certificate, they are also required to have teaching qualification certificates for three other subjects, covering a total of four subjects.
But this request did not surprise Fujii Itsuki.
When he was working in Tokyo, he heard that some excellent private schools also had similar recruitment standards.
This is because these schools tend to adjust teachers’ subject assignments periodically to prevent teachers from falling into a rut and avoid a situation where a teacher only teaches Mandarin throughout his or her life.
This approach helps ensure the freshness of teaching content and prevents the same teaching plan from being used repeatedly in different classes. While students are learning, they can also feel that the teacher is constantly learning and improving.
The demand in Jubei is not a problem. If you need a teacher's certificate, you can just take the test. It won't take more than a few days.
School will start shortly after the New Year in Hokkaido, ushering in the last semester of the year.
Although this period is not as good as early April, it is also an ideal time to start work.
Now the direction of progress is very clear - strive to officially join Jubei before the start of the new semester.

The next morning, Fujii Itsuki informed Chitose of his plan to join Tachibana Kita.
The girl was so happy that she excitedly said she would come and cook him a big meal in the evening to congratulate Brother Shu in advance on his joining Jubei.
"Are you so confident that I can get the job smoothly?"
[Of course! Brother Shu was invited by Tokyo University and was on the news. He was a famous top student in Hokkaido!]
Then, Fujii Itsuki called Matsumae Shinharu again.
At first, Matsumae didn't answer. Fujii Itsuki thought she was busy, so he sent her a text message, typed in the format of a letter to thank her for her advice yesterday and explained his next goals and ideas.
At noon, when Fujii Itsuki was searching on the Internet for [Hokkaido: How to obtain a high school teaching license for other subjects], Matsumae Shinchun called back.
[Sorry! Mr. Fujii, I was practicing festival-related things this morning so I didn’t see your message in time.]
Fujii Itsuki put down the pen in his hand, took the phone, and smiled, "It's okay."
[Teacher, your voice.]
"what happened?"
[No. Nothing. I just suddenly thought the teacher's voice was very nice. Did the words I wrote yesterday really help Mr. Fujii?]
Fujii Itsuki laughed again and nodded affirmatively, "Of course."
[That's great, what kind of job do you plan to do next?]
"Of course, I'm a teacher. I plan to apply for a job in Jubei, where they happen to be short of a Chinese teacher."
[Really?] The tone on the other end of the phone sounded a little disappointed.
Fujii Itsuki heard it, "Matsumae wants me to apply to your school?"
[]
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a second.
[Well, naturally, if the teacher can continue to be my teacher I think I should have the courage to face school again.]
"Matsumae is attending Seijyou High School, but unfortunately, I've learned about that school and it's not short of teachers at the moment. And for me, Tachibana Kita in Otaru City is closer."
[It's also Mr. Fujii. I'm sorry for being so presumptuous.]
"It's okay. This is actually a good thing for you, Matsumae."
[Good thing?]
Fujii Itsuki stood up from his computer desk, walked to the window, and looked at the green pines outside that were covered with snow.
"Matsumae, since your past school is a burden to you, why not try to change your environment and start a new life? Going to a new school, making new friends, and meeting new teachers is actually a good start for you to temporarily let go of the past and embrace a new life."
[]
Fujii Itsuki didn't know what expression Matsumae Shinchun had on the other end of the phone, but she obviously heard it.
"Matsumae, let's go to Tachibana Kita together. I'm looking forward to one day being able to truly become your teacher and take responsibility for your studies."
[]
There was another long silence.
"Besides, Jiuhua is also here—"
[I promise!]
"Ok?"
[Teacher Fujii, I promise you.]
Fujii Itsuki smiled again, "Why did you agree so suddenly?"
[Because it was the teacher who invited me, although we haven’t known each other for a long time, the teacher is a very important person to me.
[From the teacher, I not only learned a lot about my mother, but also drank tea with the teacher and discussed the same hobbies with him. Every time I chatted with the teacher, I was always amused by his humor. This was an emotion I had not experienced in the past six months, and it was the happiness I had never experienced before.
[In the past six months, I have been staying at home alone. The teacher is the first outsider and friend I have seriously interacted with. So after the teacher's work is finished, I will be reluctant to let the teacher leave and I am also worried that the teacher will be angry with me because of my offense.
[I think if the teacher can continue to teach me, I think I can try to overcome the shadow left in my heart.
[And now the teacher has formally invited me, how can I refuse the teacher?
[I am happy in my heart, happy that the teacher can talk to me like this.]
Is it.
Matsumae actually answered like this.
It seems that in just a short time together, I have already entered her heart that had been closed for half a year through her mother's affairs.
To her, I am not only a tutor, but also her only good friend with whom she can share her emotions and hobbies.
She is actually just like Jiuhuayue, a lonely girl with few friends.
"Ah, I'm glad you think so, Matsumae."
[Teacher Fujii, we have agreed to work together to enter Tachibana Kita.]
Why does this sound like I want to apply to the same university with my girlfriend?
Full of flags.
Fujii Itsuki laughed, "I promise you."
[Teacher Fujii Itsuki, I won't bother you now. I will immediately start preparing for Tachibana Kita's entrance exam.]
“I look forward to your performance.”
[Yeah! So does the teacher.]
After hanging up the phone, Fujii Itsuki immediately started preparing for the qualification exams for other subjects.
He plans to join Jubei as a teacher of four subjects: Chinese, mathematics, English, and art.
He packed his things, went out to the bookstore, bought some teaching materials, and studied until late at night.
The next day and the day after, the same thing happened.
During this period, Qiansui took time out of his busy schedule to visit him twice and actually came to cook for him.
Qiansui meant - "Brother Shu is preparing for the teacher qualification exam, and he also needs someone to support him in life!"
Fujii Itsuki was so grateful to her that he couldn't express it in words.
At the beginning of this life, he was abandoned by his blood-related parents. When he grew up, he was always warmed by a sister who was not related to him by blood at all, and he felt like a family member.
The fourth day, the fifth day.
On the fifth day, the [Certificate of Personal Quality] that Matsumae helped to obtain was delivered to her by Sakura Nagayama.
This is required for the reporting qualification certificate.
To put it bluntly, it's a letter of recommendation.
Recommendations are needed from school principals, municipal school teachers, private school teachers, and national school teachers affiliated with universities.
Without this letter of recommendation, you are not even eligible to apply for the qualification certificate.
