To put it bluntly, students' confidence and arrogance are mostly derived from their mentors, which is precisely what students in other schools lack.
"Although there are many people, it is very quiet." Kana Eto sat in the second row and looked in surprise at the students from other schools who were standing around her.
She arrived early after taking a shower, expecting that there would be so many people that she would have to manage the crowd. However, she was surprised to find that the people were very orderly and spoke very softly.
Mizuno Kase, who was playing the clarinet, turned her head and said, "Teacher Kitahara said that if they make noise and cause trouble, he should just tell them to get out of the house." Eto Kana's little face squeezed out a troubled smile.
To put it bluntly, it's like this.
Kase Mizuno pressed her fingertip down, reducing the volume of the clarinet to its lowest setting.
"Isn't that how Kitahara-sensei always is? He speaks very gently, but if you think about it carefully, it can be quite unpleasant."
Kana Eto had no way of denying it. To everyone, Kitahara-sensei's gentleness was genuine, but so was her devilish nature. Meanwhile, Sou Amami, being in the percussion club, was standing at the very back and naturally started chatting with the other girls.
"Which school are you from? I play the timpani and am the head of the percussion section of the wind band. I'm also a key player in this national competition. You can come to the Shenxu Wind Band in the future, and I will give you all good guidance."
Upon hearing that he was the head of the percussion section of the wind instrument department and had even participated in national competitions, many girls cast meaningful glances at him.
Tianhai Cang couldn't help but puff out his chest; he had never felt so proud.
"Yes, I'll listen. Okay, senior."
"And you? You look like a middle school student?"
"Yes, I'm a third-year junior high school student. A friend told me that Ms. Kitahara was staying at her family's hotel! And since there was club practice, I rushed over!"
"Is that so? Although Kyushu and Hokkaido are far apart, distance is not a problem at all as long as you are pursuing your dream. Come to the Shin-Asahi Brass Band, and I guarantee you will win gold medals for three consecutive years."
“Hmm:” The girl with pigtails, who was being “targeted,” nodded very cautiously.
"Hey, what are you talking about? And what is that disgusting, goosebump-inducing bubbling sound?"
Mizuno Kaze flashed from the first row to the last row, reached out and pressed Amami Sou's shoulder, and said.
Tianhai Cang shrugged dismissively, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Hai, saying:
"Mizuno-kun, as you can see, I'm working to increase the popularity of the brass band."
"Aren't you completely smearing the reputation of the brass band?"
.
Kaze Mizuno's slender eyebrows arched slightly, a faint glint in her eyes.
"I don't care how you want to pick up girls, but if you use the brass band and Kitahara-sensei as your leverage to pick up girls, then I'll have to interfere."
"Oh dear, why are you meddling so much?"
Tenkai Sou first laughed dismissively, then resumed what she considered her charming calm expression, making a heart shape with her fingers and saying, "You suddenly came up here to warn me, do you like me?"
"Huh? Are you stupid?"
Mizuno Kaze narrowed her eyes slightly and said,
"Do you want me to go back and tell Senior Rain Guardian about this, or do you want to change it yourself?"
"Long live Senior Rain Guardian!" Tenkai Cang nodded and bowed to the surroundings, holding the tuning mallet and remaining silent.
Mizuno Kaze gave him a warning look, then glanced at the few remaining male colleagues in the department before returning to her seat.
-
Boys are the hardest to manage! Their minds are always filled with all sorts of nonsense! They're thinking about how to get girls into bed! They even complain about how they can't get girlfriends despite having so many girls in the orchestra! They don't even look at themselves!
“That Mizuno-san, you said it out loud.”
Kana Eto could hear her muttering complaints, and out of "kindness," she still defended her slightly, saying, "It's mainly because they're all in their adolescence, surrounded by lots of girls, so they're bound to think about weird things. Don't be angry."
"Hmph—" Mizuno Kaze gave a coquettish snort and remained silent.
The trumpeter was already seated nearby. Kuno Tachibana pressed down the piston to ensure smooth movement, while simultaneously performing simple lip exercises to prepare for the subsequent blowing and lip trills.
"I don't think I saw the trumpeter."
"Wasn't that a really pretty girl? She had such long, slender legs, and she was playing soli on the oboe back then; I listened to it so many times."
I can't learn it at all; it's too difficult.
"Don't you think a lot of their key players are missing this time? Whether it's woodwind or brass, it doesn't match the DVD from the national tournament at all. It must be that their third-year students quit."
Hearing the girls' whispers from time to time, Kuno Tachibana suddenly felt a little irritated.
She wished the sounds were louder, rather than like elusive threads cutting back and forth into her heart.
Chapter 371, Section 370: The Allure of Playing (4) >>
"Who is this guy?"
"I'm not sure, but the seat she was sitting in should have been the first principal trumpet player. Oh! I remember now, she was playing the consonant on that trumpet."
"Wow, she looks so small, and she's already the chief?"
"Hokkaido Music Festival DVD, she seems to be the principal."
"The girl didn't seem to be there at the time."
While the girls were whispering amongst themselves, Kuno Tachibana gripped her trumpet tightly, the word "shut up" already flashing through her mind, but she still turned to ask with a forced smile:
"Is there anything you all want to know? Even if it's just some interesting stories about the trumpet section, I'm happy to tell you!"
"Huh? Really, senior?" The innocent girls couldn't understand Kuno Tachibana's evasiveness at all.
"I can say that, but I can only say it to powerful people."
Kuno Tachibana tilted her head, her cheek slightly turned to one side, and her smooth short hair slid down, with a few strands gently falling on her ears and forehead.
The girl blinked repeatedly, a hint of playfulness in her eyes, as if asking, "What are your achievements?"
"Hmm, how do you define what constitutes 'amazing'?"
"Leaving aside the nationwide suspension of gold, at least we should add an A-level regional gold, right?" Kuno Tachibana revealed an innocent smile, exuding a natural and unpretentious cuteness.
"Woolen cloth:
The girls exchanged glances, and each could read a hint of embarrassment in the other's eyes.
"Oh, I didn't have that before. In all three major competitions of the Shenxu Wind Ensemble this year, I entered as an A-level student, even for my trumpet solo:"
?
Kuno Tachibana had intended to make a sarcastic remark to them, but when she got to the part about the trumpet solo, she suddenly paused, remained silent for a moment, and then continued.
"Although the senior member of the club got the top spot, Kitahara-sensei prefers my trumpet."
She wasn't lying; Kitahara Hakuba had chosen her.
Just then, the whispers that had been going on in the side hall vanished without a trace, as if they had been a lie.
With the score tucked under his arm, Kitahara Hakuma walked onto the conductor's platform amidst the gazes of hundreds of students. His eyes were sincere and fervent, and every girl dreamed of possessing his talent.
"Where did this command post come from?" Kitahara Hakuba asked, puzzled.
Mizuno Kaze raised her hand and said, "Report! It was bought on short notice!"
"This is too much trouble," Kitahara Hakuba chuckled.
"will not!"
Kitahara Hakuba placed the score on the table and turned the pages to the first movement of "The Harvest of Autumn".
He stepped down from the command platform and glanced around at the students in the room. They were packed together, and he felt that their mindset was different this time compared to the conference.
"I am Kitahara Hakuba, nice to meet you." Kitahara Hakuba nodded and bowed to the surroundings.
At the same moment, Kana Eto stood up, followed by all the other members, and the sound of various legs hitting the chairs and moving backward could be heard.
"Please give me your guidance!"
Kitahara Hakuba cupped his hands in an inverted tower shape and addressed the bowing members:
"There will be a lot of students auditing the class today, so don't be nervous. Just do what you usually do."
"Yes!"
"As for the students who are here to listen in, please do not make any noise."
Kitahara Hakuma placed his finger to his lips, glanced around, and chuckled softly.
"Otherwise, it will affect the members' practice. I'm sorry, I have no choice but to ask you to leave."
His tone was as gentle as ever.
“Look,” Mizuno Kaze turned her head and whispered, “that’s just how he is.”
Kana Eto could only manage a forced, dry laugh.
The students seemed pleased to have been noticed by Kitahara Hakuba, and immediately straightened their posture, shouting with an air no less imposing than that of the Shin-Asahi Brass Band:
"Yes!"
However, Kitahara Hakuba smiled and said:
"This is a one-time exception, don't you know?"
His voice was deep and gentle, causing a faint blush to rise on the cheeks of the young girls present, and their hearts to beat faster involuntarily.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom.
"This is bad, Kitahara-sensei is going too far!"
"Wow: It's going to fall down there!"
His words had the female members of the wind band trembling with desire.
Kitahara Hakuba had no idea that his simple words had made the group of girls present decide in their hearts that they would join the Shin-Asahi Brass Band next year.
"Minister Eto Ichi"
"Yes!"
Kana Eto stood up nervously, hesitated for a moment, bowed to those around her, and said...
"I am Kana Eto, the president of the Shin-Asahi Brass Band. Starting this year, the Shin-Asahi Brass Band will not be based on grade level, but will always emphasize that strength is the only criterion. We welcome like-minded students to join us and fight together for the national championships next year!"
Kitahara Hakuba hesitated for a moment; his original intention was to have her tune the oboe.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, she started introducing herself.
