Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 443 Face
Kikyo looked quite unwell after finishing her exams. Yamamura pursed his lips and comforted her, "It's okay. I lost both of my matches too. It's just that Ayanokouji-kun won both of them. It's a pity your partner wasn't Ayanokouji-kun. Maybe you could have won then. What a shame."

This was not a consolation at all; it was a standard sarcastic remark. Ryuen naturally understood that she was saying that he was not as good as Ayanokouji.

Longyuan glared at her, and Shancun dared not speak, but she was still unconvinced and deliberately turned her face away.

"You and Watanabe will take the exam this afternoon."

Ryuen gave his instructions and then left. No one dared to ask him where he was going. Everyone assumed that Ryuen had lost the match and was therefore in a bad mood. But in reality, Ryuen was just going to find Nagumo to arrange something.

It's easy to find Nan Yun with a little inquiry. After all, as a campus celebrity, his whereabouts are quite eye-catching, and he himself has no intention of hiding his whereabouts.

When Long Yuan found Nan Yun, he was feasting surrounded by four women, looking like a sensual and incompetent emperor.

"It's quite unexpected that you came to find me."

Nan Yun pushed the girl next to him away and casually wiped the water stains on her hands onto the girl's skirt.

"You seem quite pleased with yourself. If leaders are like this, it's no wonder we're always looking down on them."

"Are you here to cause trouble? Or to declare war?"

Nan Yun wasn't angry. He put one hand on the waist of the blonde girl next to him and pinched it.

The blonde girl giggled and nestled against Nan Yun's chest: "It tickles, Ya."

Nan Yun smiled faintly: "Where does it itch? Do you need me to help you?"

Long Yuan narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe that Nan Yun was really going to put on a pornographic scene in front of him, but he was bound to be angry at Nan Yun's attitude of ignoring him.

He closed the distance in three steps, grabbed the blonde girl by the neck with one hand, and threw her backward. The blonde girl, who had just been acting cute, suddenly landed on her bottom and screamed in pain.

"What? You like her? If you beg me, I can give her to you."

Nangumo was not angry at this, and even offered to give the blonde girl to Ryuen.

However, Ryuen did not reply. What greeted Nagumo was Ryuen's straight punch, which was aimed directly at Nagumo's forehead. At a distance of less than 10 centimeters, Nagumo blocked it.

"Just kidding. Now, let's get down to business."

Nan Yun sat up, her previous playful demeanor vanishing instantly, her frivolous expression turning serious. At this moment, the one standing before Long Yuan was none other than the student council president, Nan Yun Ya.

The three remaining girls beside Nanyun, at Nanyun's signal, pulled the blonde girl away from the scene.

"Stop with the probing. I don't have that much free time to chat with you. Just tell me your purpose, Long Yuan. You're not one to beat around the bush."

Nan Yun crossed his legs and looked around at the Longyuan Garden, which he hadn't seen in a long time.

"I'd like to know your attitude towards this exam in the third grade."

"It doesn't matter."

"Irrelevant?"

"Is there a problem? This time, we third-year students are just here for a trip. We don't care about the reward for first place at all. The only thing we need to be careful about is that the last place cannot be from the third grade. And to do that is quite simple." Nan Yun said it very casually, which explains his attitude just now.

"So what if we lose all face in third grade?"

Ryuen snapped his fingers: "As a senior, it's really shameful that you can't even win a single competition. Could this be the student council president's fault? After all, no matter how you look at it, a third-year student shouldn't be so badly lacking in ability as to not even win a single competition."

Nan Yun wasn't provoked by Long Yuan's simple provocation and smiled indifferently: "Do you think I care about things like face?"

"Nagamo might not, but the student council president definitely will."

Longyuan insisted that Nanyun wouldn't give up the competition so easily, after all, it concerned the reputation of the entire grade. Moreover, if Nanyun really didn't care, he wouldn't have needed to say so much to me, Longyuan.

"So, you, who won two first-place finishes in competitions thanks to Ayanokouji, came here just to mock me?"

Ryuen's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Nagumo's implication was that Ryuen's team's first place was due to Ayanokouji, not Ryuen's own strength.

"I'm not that free. I'm just here to kindly remind you that Kougenji has already entered the fray. If you third-year students want to compete for first place in the upcoming competition, it will be quite difficult."

Nangumo knew very well that there was only one Kogenji Temple in the entire school, so he was quite surprised by this news.

"I don't think you're that kind."

"You don't have to believe it."

After saying his last words, Ryuen left. In fact, Ryuen could understand the strategy that Nagumo was taking. After all, for third graders, the class rankings were already fixed, and there was no need to make any sacrifices. Compared to the small points reward brought by the first place, dropping out of school was obviously a bigger side effect.

After all, Nagumo's rule was based on ensuring the basic living conditions of other classes. If he simply sacrificed students from other classes to gain points, it would only incite rebellious sentiments, which would be completely unnecessary for Nagumo. Therefore, the third grade must not take first place, as that would do more harm than good.

Ryuen's real purpose in coming here was to remind Nagumo that in Japan, where there is a strict hierarchy, the face of one's seniors is very important. Of course, a third-year student can slack off, but slacking off without any face is not acceptable. Ryuen wanted to drag Nagumo into the competition with Kogenji.

Nan Yun understood Ryuen's behavior. Although he was unhappy, he also agreed with what Ryuen meant by the issue of face. It wasn't just about the grade; as the student council president, he also needed dignity and face. It could only be said that those in positions of power have too many things to consider.

On the way out of Ryuen, I ran into Asahina, Nagumo's childhood friend. It was a coincidence because it was a carefully planned encounter by Asahina herself. She had been lying in wait and orchestrated this meeting.

"Hey, isn't this junior Longyuan? What are you doing here, junior Longyuan? Don't you need to prepare for your upcoming exams?"

Asahina wore an exaggerated expression of surprise. This girl, who was as lively as a sunflower, was not going to expose Ryuen, even though he knew that this chance encounter was not a coincidence.

"It's been a long time since I last saw Asahina-senpai. I don't plan to participate in the upcoming competition, so there's no need for me to prepare."

Ryuen smiled. He knew very well that Asahina's purpose was to find out why he had come, but Ryuen did not intend to tell Asahina.

Asahina looked regretful: "That's a real pity. If Ryuen-kun had participated, he might have won first place."

Long Yuan's lips twitched:

"Asahina-senpai is really joking. I don't know much about the geography of Hokkaido. If you participated, you would have a better chance of winning first place."

Asahina chuckled sheepishly, "No, no."
