Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 246 Horikita and Ichinose
Awkward. Shouldn't a couple who just broke up avoid seeing each other? Why did Horikita come directly to her house? Did Horikita want to save this relationship?
Ryuuen rejected this idea in his heart. According to Horikita's personality, the possibility of her wanting to save this relationship was very low. She came to him most likely because of class affairs, so Ryuuen calmed down.

But it still feels weird. After all, they just broke up yesterday. How should they get along today? This is really a problem.

Since he had already seen the other person, there was no need to pretend not to see him, so Ryuuen took the initiative to greet him.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, but it's getting late at this hour."

Horikita responded that it was indeed getting late, it was already half past ten and not much time until noon.

After the silence and greeting, Ryuen thought Horikita would explain his purpose, but he didn't expect Horikita to just stand there, as if waiting for Ryuen to speak?
What is she waiting for?
It was Ryuuen who initiated the breakup, so naturally he wouldn't ask Horikita to get back together the next day. And although the decision to break up seemed to have been made hastily, it was actually a choice made after Ryuuen had carefully considered it. There was no reason for Ryuuen to speak first.

Since Horikita didn't say anything, Ryuuen wouldn't indulge her now.

"Please move aside. You are blocking my way back to the room."

Ryuuen politely pointed out the problem of Horikita being in the way.

Horikita was stunned for a moment, then turned around and made way for Ryuen after hearing his voice.

Ryuen was confused and had no idea what Horikita was trying to do, but since she didn't say anything, Ryuen wouldn't force her and just pretended he didn't see it.

Then, when Ryuen took out the key and inserted it into the door lock, preparing to open the door, Horikita did not leave, but followed Ryuen. This made Ryuen troubled, because Ichinose was still in the room. Although the two had broken up, Ryuen did not want to leave Horikita with a handle to seamlessly connect with him, so he did not want Horikita to see Ichinose.

"What on earth do you want to do? We've broken up, Horikita."

Ryuen did not open the door directly, but emphasized to Horikita behind him that the relationship between the two had been broken. Ryuen wanted to make Horikita give up in this way.

Unexpectedly, Horikita had no intention of leaving at all. As if she didn't understand what Ryuen said, she still stood at the door of Ryuen's room: "Even if we break up, it doesn't mean we can't see each other. Without your girlfriend's identity, can't I stay in the same room with you now?"

This sentence left Ryuuen speechless. What did Horikita mean?
Does she mean that if we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, we can still be ordinary friends?

"Without your girlfriend's identity, what position do you have to stay in the same room with me? Friends? Are we now considered friends?"

Ryuuen asked Horikita back, just to make Horikita realize that their relationship has changed now, being friends is a luxury, and the best way to deal with it is for both of them to ignore each other.

Horikita finally realized that the identities between the two had changed, Ryuuen had changed, and Ryuuen's attitude towards her had become almost indifferent.

"I just wanted to talk to you."

Horikita showed a feeling of being worried about gains and losses, and looked quite haggard. If it was before, Ryuuen would definitely show some concern, but now the two of them are not even friends, and Ryuuen has no position to care about Horikita at all. To Ryuuen, caring about Horikita now is just a dog-licking behavior.

So Ryuen chose to ignore and rejected Horikita's request: "There is nothing to talk about between you and me. The relationship between the two of us is over. If it is a matter between classes, now is not a good time to talk about it. Moreover, given the disparity in status between our two classes, I don't think there is anything that needs to be cooperated and discussed between our two classes." Ryuen's words made Horikita react a little. Horikita felt that she was looked down upon by Ryuen and seemed a little angry: "After this uninhabited island exam, our class should be successfully promoted to Class C! The gap between us and your Class A is narrowing! In time, we will definitely be promoted to Class A!"

"So? You're here to declare war?"

Ryuuen snorted disdainfully. This time, Class D was lucky enough to get to the uninhabited island. If Nagumo hadn't been knocked out by Ryuuen in the end, Kouenji wouldn't have gotten first place. In the subsequent exams, it would be a question whether Kouenji would fight for their class. Horikita dared to speak so arrogantly now. To be honest, Ryuuen felt that he was overestimating himself.

But Horikita's words were also a wake-up call for Ryuuen. Yes, other classes were struggling, and Class A seemed to be making progress, but in fact it was facing many crises. It was time to change to class reinforcement. For Class A now, the biggest flaw was its academic ability. There was a shortage of highly academically talented people in the class, and they could be counted on one hand. Except for Hiyori and Kaneda, Ryuuen himself was considered to be a very good academically person, but academic ability was not Ryuuen's strong point.

"It seems like it's time to take down Katsuragi." Ryuen thought. In the few seconds that Ryuen was stunned, Horikita was also stunned. He had no intention of declaring war, but when things developed to this point, it seemed that he had no way out.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Horikita gritted her teeth and said to Ryuen, "Then let's wait and see who will have the last laugh!"

"Okay, okay, now are you done? You can leave now."

Ryuen tried his best to remain polite, but he was indeed a little impatient, and Horikita then realized that something was wrong with Ryuen.

Although the two have broken up, Ryuyuan is not an impatient person. Ryuyuan's reaction today was too strange, as if he had been trying to drive him away from the beginning. This was very strange.

Even though they broke up, that was an emotional issue between the two of them, and they wouldn't hate each other because of it. Ryuuen was also a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, and he would never involve emotional issues in class matters. Moreover, Ryuuen was promoted from Class C to Class A, so how could he have the opinion of looking down on the lower classes?

Ryuuen's words of looking down on Class D now seem completely wrong!

"What are you trying to hide from me? Are you trying to get me to leave?"

Horikita's brain was still online, and she finally realized the problem, but Ryuuen would definitely not admit it.

"You can think whatever you want, but Miss Horikita, you are overstepping your authority. You have no right to question me now."

Ryuuen stood at the door, worried that Horikita would just barge in.

Horikita was still rational. She nodded as if she understood what he said, which was considered as agreeing with what Ryuuen said. She really had no right to question Ryuuen. If Ryuuen wanted to hide something, he didn't need to tell Horikita.

However, just when Horikita was about to leave.

The door of the room is opened!
Opened from the inside!
Ichinose opened the door!

The truth that Long Yuan wanted to hide was directly exposed!

Horikita's aura visibly cooled.
