Start a Core Pod

After dealing with the two disobedient gods, Duanmu Huai returned to his peaceful daily life. Of course, one thing he wanted to complain about was that these so-called disobedient gods looked easy to kill, but in fact they were indeed easy to kill. , so that there is not much experience.

Of course, calm days are a good thing most of the time.

 But sometimes it’s not necessarily the case.

 “It’s so harmonious...”

Sitting in the office, Duanmu Huai suddenly said this. Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Long couldn't help but be startled.

 “Teacher Duanmu? Is there any problem?”

“Problem? There are no problems at all. I just feel that everything in the wind band club is normal now and it’s a bit unmotivated.”

　　　　…………?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s complaint, Long looked puzzled. In fact, as Duanmu Huai said, the current wind band club is progressing very smoothly. When Duanmuhuai first came back, the freshmen were afraid that he would not be able to play well. However, under the leadership of Laosheng, this problem was quickly solved, and then they successfully carried out this year's marching performance. This year's selection process was also extremely calm. I don't know if it was because of last year's experience. No matter who was selected to join In Group A, no one complained.

This makes Duanmuhuai feel... so boring.

It would be quite interesting if something happened like last year.

Of course, from the standpoint of a consultant, it is best if there is nothing wrong with the association and everyone can work together to get things done smoothly. But Duanmu Huai didn't see it that way. In fact, he didn't like things going too smoothly. After all, in the game, if you complete any task smoothly without stumbling, then you have to be careful about getting too carried away and overturning the game.

 Duanmu Huai feels that the current wind band club has some signs of this, but he doesn't understand music - but fortunately, there is someone around him who understands.

“Teacher Taki, according to your opinion, what is the result of this year’s selection?”

“It’s great. Everyone is working hard, and the freshmen are quite qualified. I think they should be able to fill the gap of last year’s third-year students.”

 “Is everyone’s practice going well?”

 “As far as I’m concerned, their training is very serious.”

"Um………"

Hearing Long's answer, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment. Long, on the other hand, looked at Duanmuhuai curiously, with a puzzled look on his face.

“Teacher Duanmu, is there anything worth paying attention to?”

"not feeling good."

"not feeling good?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Long couldn't help but be startled.

"The atmosphere in the wind band club this year is very harmonious. Because the rules based on strength have been set, everyone can accept them. Moreover, the freshmen and old students get along well. At least in my opinion, in terms of performance coordination, they are very good. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

“That’s why I said I didn’t feel good, there was no sense of crisis... um...”

Duanmu Huai frowned. It was hard for him to explain, it was just an intuition. Today's brass band club has a bit of a pension feel. Of course, if it's just for everyone to happily play house and drink together, then there's nothing wrong with just supporting the elderly. But Duanmu Huaike still remembers that the goal of the wind band club this year is still the national competition, and it also wants to win the gold medal.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

 “Taki-sensei.”

 “Hmm? What’s the matter?”

“I remember after the selection, the selected people went to Group A, and the unselected people went to Group B, right?”

 “That’s right…”

 The Wind Band Club currently has more than 100 members, but only 55 are officially on the stage, so some people are bound to be eliminated. Of course, these eliminated people do not mean to just leave the sheep alone, they will also participate in another form of competition. It's just that the competition cannot enter the national level, it is just a prefectural competition.

 In fact, Duanmuhuai is very familiar with this division. Domestic high schools also have Class AB. Those with good grades are in Class A, and those with poor grades go to Class B.

However, in Duanmuhuai’s memory, this is not the end.

　　 Got it!

“Then I have a question. What if someone in Group A declines in strength before the game, or someone in Group B improves?”

"Why?"

I have to say that Long was really stunned when he heard Duanmu Huai's question.

 “This… is not impossible, but…”

"I think it's a bit too biased to decide on the candidates after passing the audition only once. Moreover, although I can practice if I am assigned to Group B, I will definitely be lazy because I know that I will never go to the national competition no matter what. Well. It’s okay to say that the number of people was small last year, but there are so many people this year.”

There are more than a hundred people in total, only half of them can go to the national competition, and the other half can't go. This will make everyone murmur in their hearts. If someone is lazy and unwilling to practice or doesn't practice well because of this, that's natural.

"Uh...Teacher Duanmu, so what do you mean?"

 “I mean simply.”

Facing Long’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and showed a proud smile.

“The next thing is the Kansai competition, and then the national competition. In that case, we might as well do a selection before each competition!”

Yes, this reminds Duanmu Huai of Class AB when he was in school, but the classes at that time were not static. Mock tests were conducted every month, and then they were divided into classes again based on the tests. Those whose grades go up will go to Class A, and those whose grades go down will go to Class B. In this way, the students' tension is maintained.

In Duanmuhuai’s view, what the current wind band club lacks is this sense of tension!

 Is it so easy to win the National Gold Medal? Just like the college entrance examination, do you think you can get into college by just saying a few words about friendship and bonding and working hard? What nonsense!

Since you have stated that your goal is to win the gold medal, then let me toss you a lot, and there will be no complaints.

"Until the end of the national competition, there will be a selection process before each game. Those who are in good condition will be promoted and those who are in poor condition will be kicked off. I think this is a good way to keep them nervous. What do you think? ?”

"this………"

 Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Long couldn't help but think about it. In fact, this idea is indeed good, but there is a problem - just like if there are mock tests every month, the teacher will definitely have to spend time changing the test papers. If, as Duanmu Huai said, members must be selected before each competition, Nataki naturally had to work a lot harder. After all, Duanmu Huai doesn't understand music, and he can't tell who is good or bad at all. This means that Duanmu Huai has to select more than a hundred people at a time, and he must rely entirely on his own ability to make judgments. Once you make a mistake in judgment, it's obvious that nothing good will come of it.

"I see."

 But after thinking for a moment, Taki nodded.

 “I think it’s a really good idea.”

"Then it's settled, let me say it. I'm really looking forward to their expressions when they hear the news."

As he said this, Duanmu Huai laughed. Many of the wind band clubs were beautiful women. Just imagining what strange expressions their cute faces would have because of this news made Duanmu Huai impatient.

 At this moment, everyone in the wind band club didn’t know anything about it.

 At the end of today's training, I saw Long walking down the podium, and then Duanmu Huai walking up.

Seeing Duanmuhuai take the stage, many people's expressions suddenly changed.

“What’s Teacher Duanmu doing here?”

“I don’t know, we haven’t had any trouble lately, have we?”

The experienced second- and third-year students were extremely nervous at the moment. Although the new first-year students were confused, seeing the seniors sitting upright, they hurriedly tensed up their nerves and looked at the podium.

Duanmuhuai walked onto the podium with a smile on his face - of course, his smile looked like a ferocious smile to most people, just like a tiger or a lion seeing its prey.

 In fact, it is indeed correct.

“Recently, I think the atmosphere in this wind band club is really good.”

First he looked around at the people in front of him, and then Duanmuhuai spoke.

“Everyone is very harmonious and works hard.”

　　　…………”

Hearing Duanmu Huai say this, everyone became more and more confused, and looked at each other more uneasily - when things go wrong, there must be a monster. Duanmu Huai rarely talks about these things, but as soon as he came on stage today, he was boasting. Making those who knew anything about him even more nervous.

For example, Mary sighed silently, knowing that Duanmu Huai was planning to cause trouble again.

As expected, Duanmuhuai changed the subject.

 “But I think it’s going to be a bit boring if this continues.”

"…………Why?"

“I still remember last year. Didn’t everyone have a big fight over whether the solo should be performed by a third-year student or a first-year student? To be honest, I still miss the club atmosphere at that time.”

　　　…………”

At this moment, more people were afraid to speak, and at the same time they showed doubtful expressions, and looked at each other blankly. They didn’t know why Duanmu Huai suddenly brought up this topic. After all, Gu Xiangzhi had already graduated in the Middle Ages, right?

 “You think I’m being sarcastic, but I’m serious.”

Duanmuhuai saw the expressions of the people below, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Although in my opinion at the time, your quarrel was meaningless and very boring, in the final analysis, your goals are still the same. You both want to enter the national competition, and you are both willing to work hard for this. So even if it is boring The starting point for the dispute is at least good. But what about this year?"

 Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai raised his voice and knocked on the podium.

"This is too harmonious, isn't it? What? Do you think that we will definitely enter the national competition this year, and that the Kansai Gold Medal will be ours? I think you are not in a hurry at all, everyone is leisurely and comfortable Enjoying community life.”

"ah………!"

Hearing this, some students suddenly understood what Duanmu Huai meant. At the same time, their expressions became even more ugly - based on their usual understanding of Duanmu Huai, he was definitely going to cause trouble next!

As expected, what Duanmu Huai said next confirmed their guess.

"Although the selection is over, I don't think it's okay. Last year there were not many people, and only a dozen or so people could go to Group B. But this year there are so many people, I think it's not appropriate to decide the candidates for the national competition in this selection. .So I have discussed with Mr. Taki that there will be a selection before every competition in the future! And those who are in poor condition and have degraded skills will leave Group A and go to Group B. On the contrary, if there are people in Group B who are in poor condition Okay, if your skills improve quickly, then go to Group A!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

Hearing this, the people below couldn't help but burst into an uproar and became noisy. The girls were stunned and had different expressions. Duanmuhuai looked at them with a sinister smile.

"Understood, cheer me up now, remember, your goal this year is not to play house and play club games, but to win the gold medal in the national competition. This goal was chosen by you! You chose it yourself. Target, just grit your teeth and charge upwards! Okay, that’s it!”

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai waved his hand, then turned around and left.

By the time Duanmuhuai and Long disappeared into the music classroom, the others were boiling like boiling water.

“Why is this happening? In other words, will there be a selection process before every competition in the future?”

“It’s not that I don’t understand what Teacher Duanmu means. To be honest, sometimes I wonder if we are too self-righteous..."

“In other words, even if you are in Group B, as long as you work hard, you can be on the stage of the national competition in the future?”

The students had different expressions at this moment. Some were nervous and worried that they might fail the next selection. Some people think that Duanmuhuai is right, and the current wind band club is indeed too comfortable and relaxed. There are also some members of Group B who are also working hard. After all, many of them have failed in the selection before, and they also lack experience or perform poorly on the spot.

 If it happens only once, then they can only admit it. But if there are several selections in the future, then they might be able to enter Group A and advance to the national competition!

"Why………"

Looking at the noisy classroom in front of her, Mary shook her head silently.

As expected, Mr. Duanmu couldn't help but make trouble.
