Chapter 54: Time Has Changed, Customs Have Changed, Cuteness and Power Coexist

The weather in April is warm and comfortable. It is not as cold as March or as hot as May. It seems to be just right for humans.

In the Far East, April is the season of cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms can be seen everywhere in full bloom, layer upon layer and densely packed. They seem to be able to bend the branches and dye the April sky into pale pink.

The afternoon breeze blows gently, and the fallen cherry blossoms are like snow, fluttering in the wind, as fleeting as fireworks, and as fleeting as youth.

Cherry blossoms do not have the perseverance, strength and independence of plum blossoms, nor do they have the shyness, charm and beauty of apricot blossoms, nor do they have the plumpness, gracefulness and intoxicating fragrance of peach blossoms...

It has no edible value yet.

Therefore, in ancient China, there was no large-scale cherry blossom viewing culture. There were too many types of flowers native to China, and the "involution" between flowers was extremely serious.

Flowers similar to cherry blossoms include plums, apricots, peaches, pears, and crabapples... These flowers are not only of high ornamental value and have their own characteristics, but the fruits are also delicious, so they are more popular among people.

In comparison, Sakura has no "competitiveness" at all. She is like a stepmother's useless child, so it is normal for her not to be favored by people.

Yae Sakura feels like this cherry blossom. Although she and Sakura are not related by blood, she is so similar to Sakura, whether it is appearance, fighting style, or habits of speaking and doing things. She seems to be a "copy" of Sakura. products” and “lower substitutes”.

Yae Sakura seems to have no special features except for her appearance.

But even in appearance, she was just a little bit worse than Sakura.

Of course, Sakura is not well received by people and is feared by everyone.

Now Yae Sakura sometimes feels that she was ridiculous in the past. When she was "young and ignorant", she imitated Sakura and regarded Sakura as an idol and "god". She naively thought that she could catch up with Sakura's footsteps or even replace her. , Beyond Sakura.

Until imitation becomes a habit, habit becomes nature, and nature becomes Yae Sakura...

However, she has not yet outdone others.

The reason why the mother and daughter are so similar, as if they were cast from the same mold, has something to do with Yae Sakura herself.

Before the afternoon class, Yae Sakura and Sakura had a remote video call that seemed to be intimate, motherly and filial, and Yae learned that her mother's "cultivation" had gone a step further.

Yae Sakura felt a little upset. Not only did she fail to catch up with her mother, but the gap between her and Sakura became wider and wider.

When people are unhappy, they like to think wildly and feel sorry for themselves.

Yae Sakura felt that she had wasted more than five hundred years, lived in vain for so many years, accomplished nothing, and didn't even have a partner.

Looking back, it seems that the only people around her are her "shadow" Fei and her follower sister Yae Rin.

Oh, by the way, there is also a silly Bai Mao who always likes to disturb her peace.

Xiaoba's heart is not made of iron. Sometimes she is moved by Kallen who is indomitable and passionate. Kallen is really too dedicated and persistent.

If she wasn't so similar to Sakura, then Yae Sakura might have agreed to Kallen, and it would be nice to have a playmate.

But now she dare not agree, she is afraid that she will be Sakura's "lower substitute".

Yae Sakura still remembers the first time Kallen saw Sakura's eyes when she was young. At that time, little Kallen's eyes were full of admiration and yearning, and seemed to be shining with light.

She is not sure whether she is a "copy" of Sakura in Kallen's heart, whether she is a unique "Sakura".

Perhaps, she should develop her own hobbies and have some fun, instead of being so lifeless.

But what hobbies should we develop?

Yae Sakura liked keeping pets when she was little, but she stopped keeping them when she grew up because pets would die of old age.

She is not as "heartless" as Kiana, and her passion for pets and life will never diminish.

Xiaoba sometimes envies her younger sister's attitude towards life, living like a silly dog, free and easy, strong, and silly...

Not being smart may be a blessing.

Maybe not being smart is really smart.

Yae Sakura felt that the "label" people put on Kiana was wrong. Her little sister's IQ might really be the same as her father's. Not only was she not stupid, but she was also very witty. There was no one "wiser" than her.

If most people say something is right, does that mean it must be right?

Xiaoba thinks not necessarily, just like people say there is something wrong with her brain, but is there really something wrong with her brain?

Anyway, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her own brain, it was the other guys’ brains that were wrong!

A breeze blew by, and the petals slowly fell. Yaezakura, who was standing under the cherry blossom tree, moved to the left to avoid the small insects that fell from the tree.

On the playground, a group of students in sportswear ran in the afternoon sun, sweating youthfully.

St. Freya Academy is a comprehensive college that integrates elementary school, middle school and university, and Yae Sakura is the physical education teacher of the university.

In fact, she was a physics and chemistry teacher before, but because Xiaoba occasionally took the students to the playground during class, Theresa changed her position slightly.

Although no one dared to say anything to Yae Sakura, after becoming a physical education teacher, Hachi still reflected on her teaching methods. She felt that she might have misled the students a bit, and she could not be too nice to the students and let them The children are too young, mentally immature, and do not know how to restrain their desires.

Therefore, as a physical education teacher, Ba

Shige Sakura no longer takes the students to play. What do they play during class? Exercise now!

In Yae Sakura's view, physical education textbooks are not about "playing" but "practicing", or... a combination of "playing" and "practicing".

This also caused Yae Sakura's reputation to take a turn for the worse. The students' nickname for her changed from "gentle and considerate beautiful teacher" to "pink-haired devil donkey spirit with long ears", or "Pink Donkey Teacher" for short.

Students love nicknames.

Yae Sakura didn't mind either.

Although she doesn't really like the bustle and bustle of big cities, Yae Sakura still has a good sense of campus life.

The environment of St. Freya Academy is beautiful, elegant, and prosperous. Getting along with the simple students can also give people a relaxed and comfortable feeling.

Of course, light and darkness often go hand in hand, and there is also a "dark" side in the innocent campus, but this "darkness" is almost childish. If you want to, sensible and trouble-free teachers can Solve most problems.

If the teachers can't solve it, or you feel it's a little tricky, you can report it and let Cecilia solve it.

In St. Freya Academy, teachers with bad conduct will be expelled as soon as they are discovered. Bad students will have a better fate. If their mistakes are not too serious, they will first be criticized, educated and observed. If they make mistakes again, they will be warned. , punishment, and will be expelled if you don’t repent.

Cecilia and Theresa attach great importance to teachers’ character and secondarily to their teaching ability. After all, teachers teach and educate people, and their thoughts will affect students to some extent. If the teaching is not correct, it can easily lead to the following problems. The beam is crooked.

St. Freya is not a prestigious school, and funds are always tight, so the "quality" of teachers and students here is relatively average. Yae Sakura is not very optimistic about the future prospects of this college and its students.

Xiao Ba has yet to find a student who is talented in a certain field. They are basically ordinary people. Many teenagers and even individual college students are not as mentally mature as 6-year-old Rita.

Regarding the childishness, Yae Sakura believes that it may be because the current living environment of human beings is too affluent.

In ancient times, only rich families could study. Ordinary people were not qualified to study. Most of the people were basically illiterate.

A poor family refers to a family with a lower status and influence, also called a common family, and does not refer to an ordinary family.

Therefore, when ordinary people could also read, the children of that period cherished the opportunity to study. On the whole, they worked harder than the children of today.

Due to differences in times, concepts and cognitions are different, so today's children subconsciously think that it is natural for them to be able to read.

Of course it is a given that children can read, and it should be taken for granted, but "taking it for granted" will make people work less hard.

The development of human civilization to this day is closely connected with the uncomfortable environment.

But then again, since the harsh environment has been overcome by humans, we should no longer "degrade" and try to pick them up.

The past can be kept in mind, but we cannot regress because of it.

Even if the living environment is favorable, human beings are still making progress, because people will not be satisfied, and greed will drive human civilization forward.

Generally speaking, Yae Sakura believes that although today's children are naive and don't work hard enough, they are no worse than children in the past. In fact, they are indeed much better than children in the past.

This kind of "strength" not only enriches the knowledge reserve, but also improves physical quality and moral quality.

As long as civilization is still progressing and certain essential things of human beings remain unchanged, each generation will become stronger than the previous generation. After all, future generations will stand on the "shoulders" of their predecessors, who spent several generations and dozens of efforts to achieve success. The results of research can be easily learned by future generations.

Moreover, when survival is threatened, people may abandon morality and humanity. Therefore, a good environment can create outstanding talents, and the probability of cultivating good people is higher.

Unfortunately, it will also become more "volume" because of this.

In Yae Sakura's view, if the college students studying at St. Freya Academy today were five hundred years ago, they would definitely be able to become a D-level Valkyrie in Destiny. Individual outstanding students might be able to become a C-level, or even be lucky. He can achieve B level.

But it will definitely not work now. Their "quality" is too far away from that of D-class Valkyries.

Some people even dare to complain about being tired while running laps on the playground. Since they can still complain, it means they are not too tired. I will give them two more laps later.

Those who fall behind will receive an extra three laps.

In the distance, Theresa walked over with short legs and sighing step by step.

"Good afternoon, Sakura-senpai." Theresa said listlessly.

"Good afternoon." Yae Sakura looked slightly sideways and asked empathetically, "What's wrong with the (deputy) principal? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Theresa's acting skills are not very good, and the intention of asking her for help is too obvious.

"Hey...don't mention it...didn't our college make a 'deal' with those businessmen in North America some time ago?"

Teresa couldn't wait to get to the point and explained angrily: "Who knew they would go back on their word and withdraw their capital! Not only that, they also argued that they were right and wanted to avoid the liquidated damages! I was really angry! "

Theresa stamped her feet, getting angrier and aggrieved as she spoke.

Yae Sakura pondered for a moment and said calmly: "I can help you talk to them. If nothing unexpected happens, we can set off after class."

Xiaoba is right about this

She has also heard about this transaction because it can affect St. Freya. She doesn't mind doing a small favor to Theresa. After all, it is not a difficult task for her.

She quite likes this little girl Theresa, she is so cute, she looks like a stargazer.

Theresa did not go to Otto, which means that the situation is not that bad. She may still have some personal thoughts, probably because she wants to prove her ability to her grandfather.

"Ah?! Really?!" Theresa looked very excited and her expression changed quickly.

"Um."

"Senior Sakura, you are so good and great! Do you need me to prepare anything for you? Oh, by the way, I will help you get the materials. Thank you for your hard work!"

Theresa was so excited that she wanted to throw herself into Xiaoba's arms, but she held back. She was not a child, but an adult from the academy! You need to be steady and maintain dignity at all times!

"No need to go to so much trouble." Yae Sakura stopped Theresa who was about to leave, "Just help me prepare an eye-catching pistol."

Yae Sakura didn't think Theresa could produce weapons such as hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs, so a pistol would be fine.

"?"

Theresa asked cautiously: "Um...are you planning to negotiate?!"

"Yes. Well... my negotiation method may be a bit... special to you? But don't worry, my method is very effective and can solve many problems." Yae Sakura added, "An Xin, I am a very gentle person. I won’t do anything casually, just to scare them.”

"What if I can't scare you?"

"hehe."

"Uh... don't make a big deal out of it... Huh? What... Ah!!! Bugs!!! There are bugs!!! Bugs are on my head!!!"

Theresa shook her head hurriedly, and flapping her hair twice with her little hands before knocking off the bugs that fell from the cherry blossom tree.

Yae Sakura looked at the panicked Theresa with a smile, and felt that her mood suddenly became much brighter.

Today’s (deputy) academy principal is also full of majesty!

So cute!
