Infinite Talent Reset Life Episode 97

 

 

The monthly regular meeting.

The principals of Fairmont School’s four campuses and the chairman of the Fairmont Education Foundation are gathered in one place.

“How are the health checkup results?”

“Is your back feeling better?”

“How are your shoulders?”

Given their age, they worry about each other’s health.

“Now, let’s all sit down.”

At the gesture of the young chairman in his 40s who inherited the position last year, everyone takes their seats.

“The Pumas’ remarkable progress stands out.”

Puma, the symbol of Fairmont.

That’s why all the sports clubs bear the name Puma.

“Haha. Thankfully, they’re working hard.”

“Can we have expectations for this year?”

“You can expect good things from Middle School.”

Baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, tennis, golf – all are showing good momentum.

It seems like one of the six will advance to the state league.

“Oh!”

“Ahem. High School is at the national league level.”

Two players from the football club signed contracts with Stanford Cardinals, and three players from the tennis club decided to advance to UCLA.

And that’s not all.

There are many students hoping to advance to prestigious California universities and Ivy League schools.

This year should be worth looking forward to as well.

“Ohhh!”

‘Tsk.’

‘Hmph!’

The High School Principal can say such things only because of how well their Middle School and Elementary taught the students.

Even though these are students they carefully nurtured and sent up, seeing him act like it’s all his own achievement is always disgusting to watch.

“Everyone is doing excellent work.”

Since everyone is working hard at their assigned duties, it’s incredibly reassuring.

Just then, food arrives and the atmosphere becomes even more harmonious.

“So how is the promotional material production coming along?”

In a few months, it will be time for new students to enroll.

Considering the need to reduce the dropout rate of current students and increase the application rate of new students, they couldn’t help but be sensitive. They had to be better than competing schools by any means necessary.

One of those methods was school promotional pamphlets and catalogs.

“High School decided to work with the same company we used last year.”

“Middle School has worked with the existing company for 3 years, so we’re reviewing new companies.”

“Kindergarten is also reviewing new companies.”

“…Elementary School is quiet?”

Everyone’s gaze turns to the Elementary School Principal.

The principal brings wine to his lips.

‘How dare he when the Chairman is asking?’

‘That guy has gotten quite arrogant lately.’

It’s because of one particular student.

The principal smiles inwardly at the jealous gazes and opens his mouth.

“I apologize. I was chewing food… Our Elementary will entrust part of the production to students rather than a company.”

Everyone’s eyes widen.

The Chairman also narrows his eyes.

“You seem confident.”

“Please look at the preliminary results.”

The principal presents the photos Johann took.

“…I thought you just said you’re entrusting it to students.”

Photos that look like they were commissioned from a very skilled photographer.

“Did you also use child models?”

All the appearances are excellent.

Male and female, black and white, Hispanic, Asian – all of them.

“Both the photographer and models are all current students.”

“…No way?!”

The Chairman, feeling something click in his head, looks at the photos again.

“This is also Johann Jefferson?”

“That’s correct.”

At this level, wouldn’t it be fine to entrust part of the production to a student?

The remaining part of production would just be school promotional text and educational curriculum introductions.

“Huh…”

The Chairman passes the photos to the principals who are dying of curiosity.

“…Well, this is something.”

“Hehe.”

At the deepened jealous gazes, the principal brings wine to his lips with a victor’s smile.

Quality that exceeds what companies produce.

Most importantly, there was great significance in having a current student participate in promotional material production.

Fairmont Elementary School, so free that current students can even produce promotional materials.

Content that would make parents’ hearts flutter.

That’s why the principal drove the nail in with a relaxed expression.

“And there’s also a student who debuted as a model because of these photos. Polo made the first offer, and they signed with a management company.”

Thump!

He can already hear it.

The sound of parents hoping for admission rushing over.

“Ohooh!”

Clap clap clap clap clap!

‘Grr!’

‘Damn it! Acting like this just because he got one good student!’

The Wolf Boy who brought a storm from the moment he transferred.

The Middle School and High School principals, who had been sick to their stomachs from the Elementary School Principal’s bragging, look at each other and twist their lips.

“Congratulations. I hear his academic performance is also excellent?”

“And he has a good personality, making friends with students all around?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

‘Why are these people suddenly praising Johann?’

Though puzzled, his mouth is stretching from ear to ear.

“Haha. He ranked first in the entire school in the recent midterm exams.”

He even got only one question wrong in each subject.

“One question each? Is it just my imagination that it feels like he deliberately got them wrong because getting perfect scores would seem too inhuman?”

“It’s a coincidence. I was just thinking the same thing.”

“Uhaha! That’s probably it! Johann really thinks a lot about his friends!”

“Oho… Singer, piano, physical education, art, and even grades!”

“If he’s a student overflowing with such talent, it seems like he could skip grades!”

Bang!

A gunshot rings in his head.

‘So this was it!’

The reason why the two suddenly praised him.

This was something the two had conspired about in advance.

To steal away his Johann.

He couldn’t respond carelessly.

The Principal bolted upright.

“Grade skipping! Who decided that on their own-!”

“Hehe. Who decided on their own, you ask? Of course it’s the student’s decision. You’re not planning to hold them back even if the student wants it, are you? Is that something to say as an educator? Isn’t that right, Chairman?”

“…The High School Principal seems to be right about that.”

“Chairman!”

“However, we should hear the student’s thoughts first.”

“Ahem, that’s absolutely right.”

‘Tsk. Should I back down this time.’

There would be plenty of opportunities anyway. If he kept appealing, the Chairman would actively support him too.

Having a genius who would shake the century skip grades repeatedly to enter university would be a great honor for the school.

‘I absolutely won’t let him be taken!’

No matter what he had to give, he would hold onto Johann.

It was the moment when the Elementary School Principal made that resolution.

The Chairman smiled.

“So let’s commission that student to take photos for Middle School and High School promotional materials.”

“Ch-Chairman!”

“Who knows? That student might want to advance schools because of that opportunity.”

‘Fairmont Elementary School, so free that even current students can create promotional materials…’

What the Elementary School Principal had just said.

‘If an Elementary School student participates, it’s still a current student participating. Hehehe.’

With this, he could crush the noses of the surrounding schools that competed with everything, those who ignored him saying he was young.

“I’ll ask you to persuade him.”

“…Yes.”

As a salary worker Principal, he couldn’t give any other answer.

The High School and Middle School Principals clenched their fists at this unexpected opportunity.

Only the Kindergarten Principal, who had nothing to do with Johann, sighed in disappointment.

 

* * *

 

Rustle rustle.

“Keep up the energy today too!”

At the entrance of Fairmont High School’s main building.

Cheerleaders lined up in two rows wave their pom-poms and encourage the students coming to school.

“Hey, hey. Look over there.”

“…Wow.”

“Kyaa! So cute!”

Some kids were entering the High School Campus. Looking at their uniforms, they were underclassmen from Elementary School.

‘Ha, I had times like that too.’

‘Those were the good times.’

The warmth that had been lingering on their lips soon spread into mischief.

Soon, several students approached the children.

“Oh, did you let go of mommy’s hand? Are you very scared? Should this big brother call mommy for you?”

“Uhahahaha!”

“Stop it. You’ll make them cry!”

“Puhahahaha!”

“No.”

“Huh?”

“I came to photograph you.”

‘This foolish behavior of yours.’

Johann smiled sweetly while holding his camera, recalling yesterday’s events.

 

“I hereby present this certificate and scholarship.”

Clap clap clap clap clap!

“Waaah!”

Monday morning in the gymnasium.

Applause poured toward Johann as he received the certificate and white envelope containing money. Johann was receiving an award for his contribution in giving a poor newlywed couple memories that would last forever.

Johann, who had calmly accomplished what they couldn’t do, what they had only imagined once, seemed incredibly amazing.

‘I’m good at taking photos too.’

‘I wanted to take photos like that too…’

They envied Johann who had such a wonderful experience.

But Johann couldn’t read their thoughts.

“Please continue to be an excellent student who helps people in need.”

‘What is it.’

He could sense some scheme in the Principal’s face.

“Yes, I will.”

“Thank you for answering so readily. Then could you see the teacher for a moment?”

“Ah, yes.”

The two headed to the Principal’s Office.

The Principal personally made iced chocolate for him again.

“Ooh, it’s so full of life?”

The Principal had formally commissioned him and asked him to photograph students from 1st to 5th grade, and the results were incredible.

Photos that gave the strong feeling that attending Fairmont School would always make you happy.

“How did you take photos like these?”

“I just told them to play like usual.”

They were students, not professional models.

Even if they were awkward at first, once they played and loosened up, their true selves would emerge. Until that moment, he would simultaneously absorb and read ‘Survival Expert, Johann Jaeger’ and ‘The Kiss, Alfred Eisenstaedt’, holding his breath outside the children’s awareness before taking the shot.

An experience that felt like becoming a spy like ‘The One Who Became a Star’.

It was quite fun.

“So who do I need to photograph?”

Flinch!

“Haha… What do you mean by that?”

‘As expected…’

“It doesn’t seem like acquaintances or family…”

The Principal’s widening grin answered for him.

“I-I didn’t give you the award for that reason! Middle School and High School…”

“I’ll do it.”

“Huh?”

“I said I’ll do it.”

‘I can make older brothers and sisters move according to my will?’

To children, older brothers and sisters were scarier than adults.

Plus, he could officially skip classes.

He’d be a fool to miss this opportunity.

“You owe me now.”

“Oh…”

“I’ll pick the staff myself.”

Good things should be shared together.

“Th, thank you.”

“Of course.”

Johann, who came out of the principal’s office, returned to class and opened his mouth wide.

“Anyone interested in being able to boss around 6th grade and older students, raise your hand!”

…Snap! Snap snap snap!

“Me! Me!”

“Pick me!”

Even students from other 4th grade classes burst out of their classrooms.

 

* * *

 

Vroooom!

“Whoa.”

“Wow.”

Emily and her group who came along have sparkling eyes.

Cars you can buy when you turn 16.

Seeing the older brothers and sisters getting out of such cars makes them envious, and they seem like real adults.

Johann feels the same way.

‘If I could ride that, I could go anywhere, right?’

Anywhere in America.

Like the wind, like the clouds.

Johann recalls the information sleeping in his mind.

One of his friends looks puzzled seeing this.

“Don’t you need a 25-year-old or older adult in the passenger seat to drive with a California driver’s permit?”

Students under 18 who haven’t obtained a high school diploma get driving permits rather than licenses, and they need an adult 25 or older riding alongside them to drive.

Otherwise it’s illegal.

“Who actually follows that rule?”

“Then they’re bad older kids.”

“Won’t you do it?”

“I will do it but… oh, the teachers are coming.”

The high school principal and student affairs director approach.

“You guys are…”

“You must be Johann. Nice to meet you. I’m the high school principal, Dean Moreira.”

Kneeling on one knee to meet his gaze while sending a warm smile.

Johann smiles back as well.

‘That’s a face with ulterior motives.’

‘The One Who Became a Star’ tells him to be cautious.

“Hello, I’m Johann Jefferson. Thank you so much for giving us this great opportunity. And this is the staff who will help with today’s photography.”

“Oh, even staff! How professional!”

Unlike the principal who’s ready to praise whatever Johann says, the student affairs director’s expression isn’t good.

‘Entrusting school promotional photos to mere 4th graders!’

Not even to the photography club with various competition awards, but to 4th graders from elementary school.

Naturally, he couldn’t be pleased.

And his feelings were clearly transmitted to Johann.

“Oh, these are photos I just took.”

Silencing someone with complaints is simple.

Just show your skills rather than a hundred words.

“Oh ho?!”

“…Ahem.”

Results beyond expectations.

As their gazes changed, Johann smiled.

“The sunlight is good, and the cheerleader sisters are so beautiful that they came out pretty.”

“Heh heh heh! Is that so?”

“If it’s okay, I’d like to start shooting now… are there any places I shouldn’t photograph?”

“Oh! There are no such places!”

Rather, there are places he’d like photographed.

He especially wants careful photography of sports clubs including the football club, students and players heading to prestigious universities, and symbolic spaces like the main auditorium.

“If any students or teachers don’t cooperate, please call this number.”

The student affairs director will follow along, but just in case.

Of course, giving Johann his business card was his real purpose.

“Don’t worry!”

“Heh heh. Well then, please take care of it.”

“Yes!”

Snap!

When Johann snapped his fingers, his friends began pulling out lighting equipment like reflectors from their bags one after another.

“Let’s start with the cheerleader sisters again.”

He did photograph them just before, but honestly it was inadequate without proper lighting.

“Yes sir!”

His friends answered playfully and ran to the cheerleaders, while Johann also leisurely stepped forward.

“Ho ho ho!”

“Wow, you’re going to photograph us?”

The cheerleaders laugh as if finding it cute and strike various poses.

‘Yes. Please don’t perceive us that way.’

So they can show their natural sides.

Johann’s eyes lit up as he pressed the shutter.

Click!
