1 Failure! (1/2)

*sshhhhhhh*

*pitpatpitpat*

Rain hit the glass of the windows in the nearby classrooms as Li Ming walked down the hallways of his school. He had been called to the counselors office to discuss his future prospects. He had submitted his Future Prospects Survey last week. Although what he wrote there was a bit ambitious, he believed that it was well within his grasp to achieve his goals.

As he reached the counselor's room, he peered in through the window of the door to see who was in charge of the discussions today. Luckily, it was Counselor Watanabe. Counselor Watanabe was Li Ming's mother figure in this boarding school. She had encouraged Li Ming to try a variety of different activities and hobbies to try to get him cheer up after he had first arrived here in Osaka.

Counselor Watanabe was looking at her monitor with a grim look on her face. Her gloomy expression seemed fitting for some reason.

”Ahhh... Li Ming...”

”I'm here, Counselor Watanabe!”

Rubbed her temples, Counselor Watanabe gestured for Li Ming to take a seat before proceeding to peer at a file on her desk.

”Li Ming...”

”Yes?”

”What do you want to do in the future?”

The counselor looked hard at Li Ming, as if praying with every micrometer of her body that Li Ming wouldn't disappoint him.

”Well... to be honest, I'm not too sure. I thought I wanted to be a mechanic previously, but after seeing a couple of them work in person, I'm not too sure if that's the profession for me.”

”... I see... so what do you plan on doing next year?”
