Gifted Academy: The Perfect Student

Chapter 51 Kanako's Desires - Part 5

?Several days passed, and Kanako's father returned home.

It was relatively late at night and the apartment was only lit up by a few dim lights.

"I must say, good work, Hanae. I never expected you to improve so much."

"U-um, Father, can you continue to make Mizuhara my tutor? I still have much to impro—"

"Sorry, I'm afraid Mizuhara didn't become your tutor because he wanted to."

"W-what do you mean...?"

"I was going to tell you this at some point—I threatened him."

"Y-you threatened him...?"

"Yes, now that he's completed the task I set for him, I'm not going to be able to control him anymore."

"But... why...?"

Kanako's father took a seat at the dinner table.

As Kanako tried to come to terms with what she heard, her father began making his way into his room. He had just had a long trip back and was quite tired. Her father made his bed and lay in the blankets.

A few minutes later, Kanako barged into the room.

"I want to transfer to National High School."

"But Hanae, you were so against going to a school with boys."

"I've changed my mind! I want to go to National High School."

Kanako's father was taken aback.

Hahaha, Mizuhara, you certainly haven't let me down.

"Are you sure? Hanae, I don't think you've heard, but National High School is going to be going through some major changes next year."

"I don't care. I want to go there."

Kanako's father took a moment to think.

The Tachibana System, will Hanae be able to last it?

Well, I guess I've never been able to experience Tachibana Kohei's works first-hand.

Maybe, it could be good for her.

"Hanae, I'll let you transfer. However, I won't be able to protect you once you're there."

"What do you mean?"

"One of my colleagues created the worst schooling system known to man, and they're implementing it there next year."

"It doesn't matter. I still want to go."

"I like your determination. I'll make a safety net for you in case things go wrong. However, in the case something does go wrong, you'll likely never see Mizuhara ever again."

Kanako still showed a face full of determination.

"Well, I guess it's settled. I'll sort out the logistics."
