Sena Nagayama was indeed satisfied with Kazuki, and she no longer had any intention to investigate him anymore.
In other words, the changes of Sakura Kyu Academy was the best answer sheet Kazuki had given to Sena Nagayama. The things she found out indirectly was far more convincing than others’ words.
Also, he was able to replace the teacher in teaching. This was enough to prove that his knowledge level was recognized by the teacher. According to Principal Endo, he did not only substitute the science teacher, he even filled in for Mathematics, English, and other subjects. He was proficient in all subjects.
Moreover, Endo Etomi showed her Kazuki’s results when he was a freshman, which made her gasped with admiration. He was really a scholar. Not to mention, he was also the Head of Department of the Sword Believers’ Club even with such results. These were enough to show his capabilities.
She admired Kazuki’s outstanding qualities.
She even wanted to make him come to the company to work if it was no longer a high school student. If Kazuki were appropriately nurtured, then he certainly would be the best out of the best; he was born a manager.
Therefore, when Sena Nagayama saw that Endo Etomi stayed, she understood his meaning. She went straight to the point and asked, “May I know what is your expected salary for this tutor job, Kimura?”
Listened to the question, Kazuki did not refuse to answer as Sena Nagayama was an interviewer. As an interviewee, he could not refuse to answer nor give a vague answer to a question posed by the interviewer.
He hesitated for a while. To be frank, he had something on during the weekends. Thus he forgot to read up on the salary range of a home tutor in Japan. So, he did not understand much about the salary of a home tutor in Japan. However, he was quite certain about the price range in Huaxia.
Based on the salary range in Huaxia, if a university student was working as a home tutor, the salary would undoubtedly be lower than a professional teacher. Nevertheless, it was about the pay of 80-100 yuan for an hour. Ignoring the regional differences, this was the general salary for an undergraduate home tutor.
Although he was still a high school student, he never undervalued himself, nor was he blindly confident with himself.
After thinking about it, Kazuki said calmly, “I hope my salary is 1500 yen per hour.”
“Okay, but you have to agree to my terms.” Sena Nagayama did not reject it. Although the monthly salary of experienced teachers could reach up to a million or even ten million yen, Kazuki was a high school student. His expected salary was also the salary of a general undergraduate home tutor at the present stage. She naturally would not reject and bargain.
“Please tell.”
Sena Nagayama did not say anything. She took out her phone, opened the memo with some conditions recorded, and handed the phone to Kazuki.
Kazuki looked at it carefully after taking over the phone. A few seconds later, he frowned.
“If you think that some of the conditions are improper, you can point it out and discuss it with me.” Sena Nagayama said with a gentle expression.
Kazuki pointed at the fourth condition and said directly, “It’s written that I should start from Mathematics. To ensure that there is a consistent improvement in the students’ results after the next monthly test. Is there a specific value for consistent improvement? Also, I’m not sure about the Furuhashi sisters’ grade ranking.”
Sena Nagayama was not confused that Kazuki was aware that he was going to tutor for the Furuhashi sisters. After all, he was the home tutor recommended by Principal Endo and Sakura Haruko. He would definitely know the situation.
Endo Etomi who was at the side handed over the high school transcript of the Furuhashi sisters on the table which was prepared earlier to Kazuki as soon as he heard about it.
After taking a glance at it, Kazuki looked up and said indifferently, “Madam Nagayama, I think that my salary should be increased.” He said as he handed the transcripts to Sena Nagayama.
Sena Nagayama, who was curious, took the transcripts over and scanned through it. She was completely stunned. Her fair face turned red in anger within seconds.
She looked at them in detail for three times. In the transcripts that came into her view, none of the subjects marks had more than two digits, except for English.
Holding the transcripts, she could not utter a single word for some time. She recalled the conversations of Furuhashi Harunaka and the sisters during high school time in her mind.
“Aunt… Ah, yes… The results of the monthly test are released today. I have improvements. My grade ranking now is on the 100th, nothing special… Ah, take a snap? I left my paper in school, I will take a snap of it for you next time.”
“Oh, man! Aunt, I’m playing a game. Call back later.”
“Aunt… Why do you have time to call me? Results? My results dropped a bit recently. I didn’t dare to tell you. I’m going to hang up. I’m learning to bake a cake, my hands are a bit full right now. I’ll bake a cake for you the next time you come over.”
“Toot toot toot… The number you have dialed…”
Sena Nagayama would call the Furuhashi sisters each time after the exam season during high school, concerned about their academic results. It never changed much.
Especially Furuhashi Natsui. Her phone was always off every time the results were released.
She was never aware of the academic performance of the four sisters. Sena Nagayama knew that their results were not good, their results should be worse compared to others, based on how they spoke in their calls.
She did not go into the details most of the time as she was giving a face to the four sisters.
In the end… Looking at the transcripts, Sena Nagayama took a deep breath. She felt like she would die from anger sooner or later because of them, “I definitely should raise your salary, Kimura…”
She could tell a lot based on the transcripts. For example, the sisters definitely did not master the knowledge for high school. She estimated that their results now should be around the primary school level, or even lower… She was afraid to think further.
It seemed like these four girls not only inherited the physical appearance from her sister, they also inherited her learning genes.
At that time, Furuhashi Sakurakyu had poor high school results, so she hoped to own a school that would belong to her after she got married. She then invested in Changchun Private High School, which was the Sakura Kyu Private High School at the moment.
Listening to her words, Kimura Kazui nodded. His salary for home tutoring should be decreased if he were to teach the sisters knowledge for Junior High School first.
Nevertheless, Sena Nagayama let him read the terms and conditions on the memo first without telling him the academic level of the Fusuhashi sisters. Without Principal Endo’s presence, he would be cheated by signing the agreement before he was made aware of the situation.
Sena Nagayama certainly knew that justice was not on her side. Thus, she increased the salary of Kazuki from 1500 yen per hour to 2000 yen.
She thought for a moment after that, “How about this… I hope that the high school results of the four girls can exceed single digit before the summer break.” She did not want to mention grade rankings anymore.
There are three-term breaks for high schools in Japan which are spring break, summer break, and winter break. The summer break would start from 20th July to 1st September.
It was April. There were still three months before the summer break.
Kazuki nodded reluctantly after thinking about it. The academic performance of the Furuhashi sisters was probably between primary and junior high school. He would have to make the Furuhashi sisters master knowledge from junior high school quickly. Then, he had to make sure that the four girls did not get the marks of single-digit in their final exam for freshman year before the summer break.
One person was still okay. However, there would be four of them. The difficulty would be multiplied.
“Kimura, if the grade ranking of my four nieces is within two hundred after the final exam, I will reward you with abundant bonus. You would receive another bonus if they got into the first one hundred and the first fifty in this manner.”
Upon hearing those words, Kazuki gave a faint smile.
“I’ll try my best.”
