Broken glass, graffiti everywhere.
Garbage such as cans and cigarette butts is scattered all over the ground, and all kinds of textbook scraps are casually thrown in every corner.
"Bastard, today I must kill you!!"
"I'm afraid of you when I'm looking for someone?"
"Where's Yagi-numa? Where did that group of them go?"
"..."
Fights.
It's not uncommon for middle schoolers, but it's extremely rare for a middle school where most of the students are fighting.
Looking around, a group of students in dark green school uniforms gather together beside the campus wall, some are smoking, some are doing graffiti on the wall, which makes the pedestrians on the road in front of the school diverted one after another, unwilling to go from here Walking in front of the smoky campus.
But in such an environment, there was a boy wearing a student union armband, silently cleaning up the graffiti on the wall.
For such a scene, the surrounding students all looked accustomed to it.
"It's really hard work for the student council president."
"Don't talk nonsense, they help us clean up new drawing boards every day."
"Hahahaha~~~"
Listening to the ridicule of the students around him, Masato Hitsuji still had a calm look, and kept cleaning the graffiti on the wall with a mop soaked in water.
Obsidian Middle School.
This is a notorious school in the neighborhood.
In fact, you only need to look at the teaching building to see this clearly. The corridors are full of garbage, the walls are full of graffiti, and the additional repair costs cannot keep up with the speed of the windows being destroyed, so that the glass can only be repaired with adhesive tape.
Moreover, both teachers and students have adopted an attitude of ignoring it.
Nobody wants to do something about it.
Except for Masato Hitsuji.
In order to improve the environment of Obsidian Middle School, Masato Hitsuji began to take practical actions after he became the president of the student council.
At the beginning, the members of the student union agreed with his ideas and actively helped him.
However, the actions of the real person did not achieve significant results, and the number of physically and mentally exhausted partners gradually decreased. In less than half a year, there was no one who helped him.
Even so, the real person still did not give up. He firmly believes that as long as he starts from these small things, his beloved school will definitely change.
Believe that your wish will come true.
Weary, he carried the bucket and returned to the student union room. Compared with other places, the student union room looked much cleaner, even tidy.
The corridors outside the student union are free of rubbish, graffiti on the walls, and broken windows, giving people a feeling of being out of place with the surrounding environment.
But at this scene, Masato Hitsuji couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.
Because this is not the result of his hard work.
Pushing open the door of the student union room, a clean and tidy room came into view. In addition to the desk of the student council president, there were refrigerators, TVs, computers, game consoles and other electrical appliances that should not be here.
The whole room is more like a home than a student council room.
And on the sofa in the center of the student union room, there was a boy lying down.
The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with messy golden orange hair. Although his appearance was very handsome, the indelible laziness on his face made him look like an uncle.
The original student union room was actually no different from the surrounding classrooms. No matter how he repaired it, it would always look dilapidated.
until...
On the couch, this junior high school boy enters school.
After graduating with the top grades in the school, the boy did not go to Bingsheng Middle School with the best learning environment in Bingsheng City for some reason, nor did he go to Heister Middle School, which is full of excellent students, but came to this city full of bad students. high school.
The boy is different from other delinquents. Although he is not serious about his studies, he often disappears mysteriously without knowing where he went, but whenever he comes to class, he will listen carefully instead of sleeping on the table.
His grades have always been among the best, and he is liked by one of the few teachers in the school.
In Heiyao Middle School, one-third of the students are studying, and the remaining two-thirds are all bad.
But this boy is an outlier.
If you say that he is studying...he actually skips classes more than many bad people; but if you say he is bad, he has never actively bullied others, just playing games silently and not being with others, but However, he was feared by all the bad things in the school during the first half year of enrollment.
The reason why the student council room is so clean is because the boy chose this place as his resting place.
When he comes to school, he will stay here.
The refrigerators, computers, TVs in the student union room... and the rows of comics on the bookshelves were all brought by him, which made the whole student union room look brand new.
and...
These things, except for the game console, he allows himself to use other things, as long as he comes here every day, he will take turns tidying up the student union room with himself tacitly.
Although he often seems to be busy with something, he often doesn't come to school, or comes back after lunch break wearing sweat-soaked clothes.
For this reason, he specially hired someone to build a shower room in the huge student union room.
Masato Hitsuji welcomed and appreciated the boy's arrival, because his arrival turned the student council room into an existence like a sanctuary in the doomsday.
Do not fight outside the student union.
Do not litter outside the student union.
Do not gather crowds outside the student union to make trouble.
...
Just like the rules among bad students, no one will violate these rules, because this boy is very strong.
In the student union room arranged in such a way, many unscrupulous students had thought of snatching it, but in the end, one counted as another, and they were all easily dealt with by the young man in front of him.
During the first half year of enrolling, he has already become the strongest person recognized in this school.
we can even say...
As long as he wants to, he can immediately integrate the bad students in the whole school and become the well-deserved overlord of the school.
But he has no interest in doing so.
It's like a person who doesn't have any ambitions and is destined to be mediocre in the future.
But looking at him, Masato Hitsuji often thinks of a sentence: often the most inconspicuous people are the easiest to do things that make people admire.
Putting the bucket and mop into the toolbox, Masato Hitsuji smiled at the boy on the sofa:
"Student An Yan, you haven't gone back yet."
This young man is An Yan.
After graduating from elementary school, An Yan did not go to Bingsheng Middle School with Ah Gang, but chose Heiyao Middle School. Although there is a bad middle school here, the learning atmosphere is not so tense, and he will not report to his parents when he goes out to practice. ...
But more because this is the middle school closest to home except Bingsheng Middle School.
After coming...
To be honest, An Yan was surprisingly satisfied, at least in other schools, the school would not allow him to build such a room.
But Heiyao Middle School is different. Not only was he allowed to build such a room, but the school even supported it... Even in order for him to improve the appearance of the campus, he was forcibly assigned the position of chairman of the discipline committee.
"Going to clean the fence again?"
An Yan looked up at Master Ritsuji, smiled and said, "You really are persevering."
Looking at the smile on An Yan's face, the smile on Hitsuji's face became more and more intense, which was different from those bad and gentle smiles, which made his physical and inner fatigue seem to disappear.
It's really great to meet classmate An Yan.
"As long as you keep at it, it will change one day."
Sitting on the table in the student union room, looking at the piles of club funding applications, Masato Hitsuji shook his head slightly.
Even if he didn't have to look at it, he knew that these clubs were not serious clubs, and the school would not approve them. Unlike other schools, the student union of Heiyao Middle School does not actually have much power, but rather a chore.
Two-thirds bad, if it has any rights, ends up being just...
Only the strongest bad students are qualified to become the student council president.
He glanced at An Yan, his own rights may not be as high as the nominal discipline committee, after all, the school gave him the authority to punish bad students.
The idea of the original school might be...
I want this bad student who, like the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of Bingsheng Middle School, to rule the entire school in a legitimate name, can improve the campus environment.
It's just that An Yan is not interested in it.
"The broken window fallacy?"
An Yan turned off the game console, stood up and stretched.
"It's not a fallacy, but a broken window effect!" Masato Hitsuji emphasized.
The broken window effect is a theory of criminology, and it is also the pillar that he can persist until now without giving up.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.com]
This theory holds that if the bad phenomena in the environment are allowed to exist, it will induce people to imitate, or even intensify.
Take a building with a few broken windows, if those windows are not repaired, there may be more windows damaged by vandals. Eventually they'll even break into buildings, and if found unoccupied, perhaps settle there or set fire to them.
A wall, if there is some graffiti that has not been cleaned off, it will soon be covered with messy and unsightly things; a sidewalk with a little confetti will soon have more garbage, and eventually people will ignore it. It is a matter of course to throw the garbage on the ground. This phenomenon is the broken window effect in criminal psychology.
Since a piece of broken glass can induce greater bad things, leading to a worse living environment.
On the other hand, by properly dealing with small bad things, you can also prevent more serious bad things from happening.
Masato Hitsuji could not forget the emotion he felt when he first learned about this methodology.
Therefore, he has been working tirelessly to do a good job as the student council president of Obsidian Middle School.
"hehe."
An Yan shook his head. He didn't think he could change the status quo of Heiyao Middle School just by repairing the glass and removing graffiti without severely punishing those who broke the windows.
It is easy for such a school to change. It is enough to find the chairman of the discipline committee of Bingsheng Middle School who has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Then just keep working hard."
An Yan shook his head. He also persuaded Masato Ritsuji several times, but the other party only thought that as long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to improve.
As time passed, he didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
Although the school environment can't be improved, An Yan doesn't think he is innocent, because whether he participates in it or ignores it can be regarded as a fault.
But the game time squeezed out of practice every day is extremely limited, and he doesn't want to waste his time on a group of bad middle school students. However, if Hitsuji really dared to punish the broken window instead of silently repairing the window and waiting to be smashed again, he would not mind being the support of Hitsuji.
But Masato Hitsuji focused on repairing windows.
"I'm going back. Don't be too busy. You just went to middle school. It's like being an official. Is it worth it? It's not good to enjoy childhood."
An Yan waved his hands, got up and walked outside.
...
When An Yan returned home, it was almost dusk.
Before entering the door, the aroma of the food wafted out, causing An Yan to shrug his nose.
"I'm back."
An Yan changed his shoes, put his schoolbag aside, and walked straight to the restaurant.
"Xiaoyan is back."
Nana's mother's gentle voice came, but An Yan who entered the restaurant was stunned at the door.
Looking around, I saw Ah Gang sitting at the dining table with a look of lovelessness, his face was full of exhaustion, as if he had been ravaged all day.
But the reason why An Yan was stunned was not him. It was next to A Gang, the little baby sitting on a special high chair, wearing a black suit and a round cap.
"This is Li Baoen, Ah Gang's tutor. He will live in our house in the future."
Li Baoen looked at An Yan at the entrance of the restaurant, with a smile on his bun-like face.
"Ciao!"
