Chapter 297 – Volume 60 – Academy’s FFF-level Teacher (2)
“Picture…”
She couldn’t turn the page for a while.
She eventually let out a sigh of relief and moved on to the next chapter.
“Uh…!”
And on the next page, Haruto is preoccupied with making photos.
She moved her body without looking at the cliff in front of her.
She lost her footing and fell into a dangerous moment.
“Haruto!”
At that moment, the teacher who had not been involved until now ran away.
As she felt like she was going to fall off the cliff, she held on to Haruto’s hand.
Fortunately, with Haruto relying on her teacher’s hand, she was able to climb up the cliff.
“Thank you… I almost got into big trouble.”
“It’s good to take pictures, but you have to be careful.”
“I see… Wait, what is my name?”
“I have been appointed as your homeroom teacher this time.”
“Ah, you were a teacher.”
Even though Haruto was a bad student, she never went to school.
Surprisingly, she treated her teacher with courtesy and expressed her gratitude.
“What brought you here… Ah, so you came to look for me.”
“Yeah, I was wondering why you didn’t come to school.”
“Well, it’s not like I’m not going to school.”
“Huh? But you haven’t been here for the past few days.”
“That is…”
Haruto explained why she didn’t come to school.
At that explanation, not only the teacher but also the girl who was reading the cartoon let out a puzzled voice.
“No, what…?”
She didn’t really plan on not going to school.
She recently had an area she wanted to photograph, and she was so focused on it that she forgot she was going to school.
Because I was so focused on photography, nothing else mattered…
“No, what’s so important about taking pictures…?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have panicked. “I guess I still lack experience.”
“No. “I also realize that it was strange behavior.”
At best, a tool that automatically draws pictures.
What on earth does it mean?
She mumbled as if it was difficult to understand.
“That’s what painting is all about… You have to draw high-quality paintings that everyone values.”
So without any effort.
Like copying something that exists in reality.
There’s no way it’s worth that much.
They say that just because it resembles that, my painting has no value ever…
“You like taking pictures, right?”
“Yes, there are many beautiful things in this world.”
“Something beautiful…?”
At that moment, her hand that was reading the comic stopped again.
Why did I want to draw a picture?
To use magic? Because you want to be recognized?
“…What was it?”
“Teacher, look at this. “This is a photo I took today.”
“This…”
The entire page appears to be made up of photos instead of drawings.
She realized that it was a photo Haruto had just taken.
It’s a perfect painting that surprisingly expresses reality as it is, but it wasn’t drawn by human hands.
“…Pretty.”
So, her mind was complicated.
She thinks the picture she drew is really beautiful, too.
Because the ‘picture’ in front of me was also beautiful.
Because I know the beauty of paintings that depict reality as it is.
I’m such an idiot that I can’t draw anything other than that picture.
She was even more able to understand the beauty of this photo.
“…I see.”
She realized something about her and burst out laughing.
The girl who took this photo was not some kind of villain who ruined her own picture with her photo.
She was just like me, she just loved these realistic paintings.
In her own way, the best way is through her photos.
She’s just a fool who throws her body away to create what she loves.
She realizes that she is not that different from herself.
“Sorry. “Without any intention of studying, I just skip school and go around taking pictures.”
“She knows she’s a bad student.”
“Ahaha…”
“I see. Let’s draw a picture too.”
Paying attention to what others think.
I gave up on this because it wasn’t artistic.
…If you think about it, there was no need for that.
Even if those actions don’t help achieve any magic.
The paintings I love are realistic paintings like that.
Leave the things you learn at school alone for a while.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to focus on that for a while.
“It’s funny. “He says he will do what he likes, and he puts up such a fuss like a child.”
“Because it’s a kid. It’s okay to do that.”
“Oh, it’s not a child.”
“It’s still time to think about that. Because you’re a ‘student.'”
「…」
“And I like the photo Haruto took, right? “Maybe I can become a good photographer later?”
“…Camerist?”
It seems as if it refers to the task of taking pictures.
I decided to call people who draw comics recently cartoonists.
It must be something similar.
“A job that involves taking pictures…”
The number of products that actually take pictures has been increasing recently.
However, it is mostly for information purposes such as portraits.
It was a completely different task than trying to find and photograph such a beautiful thing.
“The photographer… He’s a strange teacher.”
“Huh?”
“Other teachers told me not to waste time and just study.”
“I have to study. It’s a student’s duty. But, apart from that, it is also the student’s duty to learn what you want to do.”
“I learn what I want to do…”
After that, Haruto started attending school regularly.
Although she still had to take the photos she wanted.
In that case, she asked the teacher for permission in advance and went to take pictures after attending.
Similarly, even if you were not at school, your actual attendance was being processed.
“Like this?”
“How is it? Does it feel different?”
And sometimes, I learned something new with the teacher.
Editing photos with this strange thing called a computer.
It was about creating a strange atmosphere by hand that couldn’t be captured by just taking pictures.
“What is that again…?”
It was like using a photo as a canvas and drawing a new picture on top of it.
Although the photos he made before were also very beautiful.
The image, once edited, was shining so brilliantly that it seemed unrealistic.
‘…I thought photography was just a matter of pressing a button.’
That wasn’t it.
When you watch a cartoon, it even talks about how to take pictures.
In addition to extremely complex methods, there were also methods that required time control or skill.
Don’t belittle it just because you get the beauty you want more easily than with a painting.
Acknowledge that it has its own unique beauty.
Through that form, we can find new ways of expression.
‘The story is good too. Of course, this must be a message left by painter Siwoo.’
Because she thought there was someone who had the same concerns as her.
So I think I left this message.
She let out a small laugh.
“Of course, it’s nice to have photos that leave you amazed even without any editing. “She doesn’t think it’s a bad idea to express things that can’t be done just by taking pictures.”
“Teacher, you were planning to let me know that there is also a direction for photography like this.”
“Yes, as long as it is not misused. I think this is a good direction. “If you are Haruto, you can become a good photographer.”
Teachers don’t just teach classes at school.
What she knows, she is there to help that child achieve his dreams.
She said that was her teacher’s role, and she passed on what she knew while spending less time sleeping.
“Thank you. Teacher.”
“Yes, if you need anything. “Tell me anytime.”
“…What?”
Haruto wanted to adapt well to school, but one day she suddenly stopped coming to school.
The teacher senses her strangeness and goes to find her Haruto.
However, Haruto was not present in any of the places where he usually took pictures of her.
“…Huh?”
She eventually ended up going home.
She discovers a strange photo lying on Haruto’s desk.
It looks like a background photo that Haruto usually likes, but there were some strange people at the end of it.
People with a strange feeling, as if they were trading something.
Although they are small in the corner, the people look suspicious enough.
The teacher’s expression became serious, and she took the photo and walked out.
“This…”
“It’s your kids. “Do you know anything?”
“You said you were going to become a teacher. Is that what you’re saying after coming here after so many years?”
「…」
“Well, that’s right about our kids. The same thing applies to the items we normally trade.”
“Thing…?”
“What are these guys?”
「Babel Group.」
“Did those guys take drugs too?”
“It looks like one of the grandchildren is addicted.”
“…Well, if something like that comes out, it’ll be a pain in the ass.”
“If you bother to contact us and see that they only buy the safest products possible… I guess they are planning to fix it by slowly reducing the dosage. “I cherish my grandson dearly.”
“If it’s resolved anyway, there will be no more contact with this side. “I guess I just thought it would be enough to keep my mouth shut this time.”
And the deal happened to be captured by Haruto, who was taking pictures of the scenery.
Without knowing the fact, Haruto was kidnapped by the Babel Group, who were trying to silence him.
“Aren’t they supposed to be bastards?”
“Yes, they are very gentle customers. “It looks like he didn’t kill a single person.”
The Babel group probably only wanted to delete the photo and threaten it…
Haruto himself probably didn’t understand what was going on.
Even if he made such a request, he was unable to understand it, so it seemed like there was a misunderstanding.
“Can you call me?”
“…Okay.”
After that, the teacher confronted them directly.
She threatened to spread the photos she had, and told him to lead her to where Haruto was.
Quite simply, we arrived at the location where Haruto was kidnapped.
「Haruto…! Are you okay?”
“Uh, uh… Teacher?”
“Is it you guys? “These are the people who made my students like this.”
Maybe it’s because of the traces of assault that were done to intimidate.
The teacher glared at her surroundings while holding Haruto.
