At this time, the director-general raised his concerns.

"Even a fool like me can tell at a glance that you are deliberately squeezing out Qinghe Hachiro. In this case, he himself will definitely be able to see through your intentions immediately. Mr. Tachibana, you should be more cautious in the future. Be careful of the other party's revenge."

"Don't worry, since I dare to stand up to him, I'm not afraid of his revenge."

"As long as you know what's going on."

After saying that, Souji leaned forward and lay on his back, stretching his limbs like a piece of soft plasticine on the tatami.

When she was alone with Qingdeng, she could always relax physically and mentally regardless of her image - and so could Qingdeng.

"Speaking of which, making me the captain of the First Division of the Bato Team...is this really a good idea?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Qingden stopped the brush in his hand and turned to look at the director.

The director-general laughed a few times, "Ah ha ha ha".

"For me... this position is too heavy. I don't have the confidence to lead a team well."

"How could it be? You are the principal of the Imperial Academy. In terms of experience in managing others, you are no worse than anyone else."

The school leader of the dojo - similar to the squad leader of the dojo, is the leader of the apprentices.

The General Secretary did not look happy because of Qingteng's words of comfort, but instead looked even more sad.

"Having said that, 'leading my fellow disciples to practice swordsmanship' and 'leading the sergeants into battle to kill the enemy' are two different things."

"I can break into the enemy camp alone without hesitation."

"But if you ask me to lead a team of sergeants to charge into battle... I really can't do it."

"Besides, unlike you and Mr. Hijikata, I don't have the strong character to remain calm even if the sky falls and the earth falls."

"Just being the captain is enough to make me anxious, let alone such an important team..."

"I'm not saying anything depressing either."

"I am very happy and honored that you are willing to hand over such an important team to me."

"But... you should leave the first team to others."

"As for me, I just want to be an ordinary sergeant."

"No matter what happens, let me lead a team that is not that important."

After saying that, the director turned his head and waited for Qingteng's reply with an anxious expression.

"..."

Qingdeng's expression was very calm.

Without saying a word, he looked straight into the director's eyes, making eye contact.

One party was silent for a long time, while the other party waited anxiously.

The silence of the former made the latter feel even more tortured.

Just when the director was about to shout, "Hey, don't be silent! Say something quickly!", the other party finally made a move.

He quietly withdrew his gaze and started moving the brush in his hand again.

In this way, while continuing to write rapidly, he asked in a tone that was neither salty nor bland:

"Xiao Si, do you know Han Gaozu of Tang Dynasty?"

There was a look of confusion on the Commander-in-Chief's eyebrows.

Although she didn't understand what it meant, she still nodded obediently.

"What about Ming Taizu of Tang Dynasty?"

She said angrily:

"I'm not Harada-kun! I've also read a little bit. Of course I know these historical celebrities!"

After receiving a positive reply from the Director-General, Qingteng continued on his own:

“The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty were both unparalleled heroes.”

"Looking at their lives, we can find something worth pondering about them."

"The original team when they conquered the world...the fellows from Peixian County of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and the fellows from Huaixi Province of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, all produced many extraordinary heroes."

"Xiao He and Li Shanchang are famous prime ministers who govern the country and bring peace to the country."

"Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, Chang Yuchun, Tang He and Feng Sheng are famous generals who are victorious in every battle."

"Among them, Cao Shen and Xu Da are even more powerful men who can bring peace to the world with their writing and use their horses to determine the world."

"However, if you examine the history books carefully, you will find that these magnificent heroes were just ordinary people before they followed the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty and Taizu Ming Dynasty."

"Xiao He is the magistrate of Pei County."

"Cao Shen is a small official in charge of the prison."

"Fan Kuai is a butcher who kills dogs."

"Xia Houying is a servant who raises horses and drives carts for the county magistrate."

"Zhou Bo is an unknown person who makes a living by weaving silkworm-raising utensils."

"As for the Huaixi fellow villagers of Ming Taizu, let alone them."

"Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Tang He... these people are either scholars with unrecognized talents, or ordinary people at the bottom."

"In a peaceful and prosperous age, they would be nothing more than insignificant dust and ants."

"However, this group of humble people from Guizhou became the pillars of the country who will go down in history."

"why is that?"

"Is it because the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty were both real dragon emperors, so God favored them? Not only did they endow them with extraordinary civil and military talents, but also gave their fellow villagers unparalleled talents?"

"Those pedantic people will definitely stubbornly think: This is fate."

"And I think this is the inevitable result."

"There is indeed that kind of peerless genius who leads the way in this world."

"It is true that talent is valuable, but 'experience' and 'stage' are equally important."

"If I hadn't met Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty."

"If I hadn't followed these two heroes and experienced one dangerous situation after another, it would be a desperate situation."

"If it were not for the small Peixian County, Huaixi would step by step onto the big stage called 'World'."

"Xiao He, Li Shanchang, Cao Shen, Xu Da and others are, after all, just a bunch of incompetent people."

"As long as there is enough experience and a suitable stage, no matter whether it is a low-level commoner who has not received a good education or a woman who is powerless, everyone has the opportunity to grow into a unique hero."

"Xiaoji, you said you don't have the confidence to lead a team well... Then I'll tell you the truth - to be honest, I don't have the confidence to lead the Shinsengumi well either."

As soon as Qingto finished speaking, the Souji opened his eyes wide in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Her expression and eyes seemed to say: Huh? Tachibana-kun, are you kidding me?

However, Qingdeng's serious expression told her: I am not joking.

"Although I have served as the captain of the Huo Fu Thief Kai squad before, I have led troops and fought in battles."

"But commanding a force of hundreds of people... and it is a force that has never been trained before. This is the first time."

"Whether we can manage the Shinsengumi well and build it well...I'm not particularly confident."

"All I can do is to continue to be troubled and confused, and then continue to learn."

"In short - take your time."

At this point, Qingdeng had a peaceful smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have confidence in yourself."

"There is also a person here who also has no confidence in himself."

"Let's support each other, work hard together, be overwhelmed together, keep making progress together, and step by step onto a higher and bigger stage together."

"One day, we will all transform into dragons."

The director-general stared blankly at Qingdeng's face and was silent for a long time.

After about 10 seconds, she slowly produced a voice:

"...Tachibana-kun, I discovered something."

"uh-huh?"

"I find that you are very suitable to be a lecturer in a school!"

I saw the general secretary's eyes shining brightly, and he sat up "like a bone", his two front paws... ah, no, two small hands supporting the tatami, his upper body and head leaning forward, looking at Qingden with an excited expression, like

The Shiba Inu was so excited to be reunited with his owner after a long absence.
