Chapter 502 Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Because it is located in a small rural town, Pelican College has a small area and a small number of students. There is only one class per grade, and the total number of students in the school is less than one hundred.

Therefore, Aizawa, who is in the same grade as Yoshino Asatake and Mako Hitachi, is actually in the same class as them and has the same destination, so there is no need for them to be separated.

That was originally how it was, but because Aize was a transfer student, he went to the faculty office before entering the classroom and met his homeroom teacher who was waiting for him there.

"I am Nakajo Hina, your homeroom teacher. Nice to meet you, Ai-kun."

The woman introducing herself in this way was in her early twenties.

The woman had a smile on her face and a gentle attitude. Although she was a teacher and a homeroom teacher, she was not serious or scary at all. Instead, she had an indescribable sense of friendliness that made people subconsciously trust her.

"Hello, Mr. Nakajo, I am Aize."

Aize greeted them politely, without showing any slacking off despite Nakajo Hina's gentle and friendly attitude.

“Mr. Genjuro has already spoken to me, as has Mr. Anqing, and they both asked me to take good care of you.” Nakajo Hina smiled as if she were seeing a new and excellent student. “I heard that you drew the sacred sword enshrined at Kenji Shrine, so you received special treatment from the shrine. If you encounter any difficulties at school, you can tell me, and I will try my best to help you solve them.”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the classroom first."

Although Nakajo Hina doesn't seem like a serious person, she has a decisive and efficient way of doing things, without any ambiguity or procrastination. After greeting Aize, she took him directly to the classroom.

"This is Aize, who transferred from abroad. From today onwards, he will be your classmate. Let me welcome our new classmate!"

Led by Hina Nakajo, the students who had all arrived began to applaud in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Aize standing on the podium.

"I am Aize, and I look forward to working with you in the future."

Aize wrote his name on the blackboard and, even under the watchful eyes of the whole class, greeted them calmly, neither enthusiastic nor timid. As a result, he was not looked down upon by his classmates for his overly brief self-introduction.

"teacher!"

At that moment, someone in the class raised their hand and spoke loudly.

"Can we ask the new student a question?"

People who make such enthusiastic sounds not only have a hint of snickering in their voices, but also a mischievous grin on their faces.

Aize took a closer look and immediately felt that he had misjudged the person.

Wearing the same male school uniform as Aize, he sat in a relatively back position in the classroom. He was tall and thin, with a decent-looking face, but he couldn't hide his frivolous aura, which made him look like a carefree scoundrel.

Who else could it be but Kurama Rentaro?
This guy was blatantly making fun of his cousin, which made Aize want to throw chalk at him.

Unfortunately, the other students in the class also became very interested.

"Teacher! Please let me ask a question!"

"Me! Me! I have a question for the new classmate!"

"I'm also very curious about my new classmates!"

"Please allow me to ask a question!"

Asking questions to new transfer students to get to know them better seems to be a custom or even a tradition in this country.

Therefore, the students in the class all looked very interested and made no attempt to hide their desire to ask questions.

"This……"

Nakajo Hina seemed somewhat undecided and couldn't help but glance at Aize.

"It's alright." Aize remained unfazed, without any hint of feeling trapped. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you all for your enthusiasm. I don't mind satisfying your curiosity, but time is limited. The opening ceremony will be held soon, so please be gentle and know when to stop."

"How about this, we'll limit it to three questions."

"I will answer three questions, and after I do, please spare my life."

Aize's rather amusing remark made the students in the classroom burst into laughter.

"That guy, he handled it pretty well, didn't he?" Kurama Rentaro looked at the scene with some surprise and muttered, "He's not exactly incapable of speaking, so why is he so withdrawn?"

As Kurama Rentaro muttered to himself, he was unaware that Aize wasn't incapable of saying polite things; he simply lacked the inclination to flatter others.

After all, they've lived two lives, and in their previous life they even entered society, so how bad could their emotional intelligence be?

The reason he ultimately received the label of being aloof was threefold: firstly, he wasn't interested in putting on a show; secondly, his mature mindset made him feel that he couldn't keep up with a bunch of kids; and thirdly, after transmigrating, he gained a special talent, and compared to joking around with others, Aize at that time was more interested in wielding swords and spears, and was more willing to spend time on it, which is why he became a somewhat aloof guy in the eyes of others.

I didn't act as aloof this time, simply because I was new here and didn't want to appear too eccentric.

After all, besides his unreliable cousin Rentaro Kurama, Yoshino Asatake and Mako Hitachi were also in this class.

The two of them smiled and stared at Aize, who was standing on the podium, watching him silently from the side.

Under these circumstances, Hina Nakajo began calling roll, asking students who raised their hands to ask Aize questions.

"Excuse me, Ai, why do you want to transfer to Suizhi School?"

The first person to ask a question was a girl in the class. She seemed very interested in Aize and asked the question with a smile.

"I heard that you not only come from a great country, but also from a big city. Why would you give up such a good environment to come here to study?"

This is probably a question that most people who know about Azer's origins have in mind, right?

Apart from Yoshino Asatake, Mako Hitachi, and Rentaro Kurama, no one else in the class knew the truth about Aizawa's transfer.

So, Aize answered the question without changing his expression.

“The environment in big cities is not necessarily better than that in the countryside. At least in my opinion, the atmosphere in Suizhi is much more relaxed and pleasant than in big cities, with less restlessness. In addition, my mother is a native of Suizhi, and my maternal grandfather’s family is also well-known in Suizhi. I myself am also half a Suizhi native. This time I transferred here to change my environment and my mood.”

As soon as Aize finished answering the question, a second person raised their hand to ask one.

"I heard that Ai pulled out the sacred sword that Kenji Shrine has been enshrining for generations on the day of the Spring Festival. Is that true?"

The news had spread far and wide, attracting the curiosity of countless locals. Now that they had the rare opportunity, those present naturally wanted to get a positive answer from the person involved.

“It’s true.” Aize didn’t hide it, or rather, he felt there was no need to hide it, and said directly, “Although it was by chance, I did draw the Divine Blade, which was the reason that prompted me to stay.”

Just when Aize thought the third question would be related to this so-called "opportunity," the third person to raise their hand made a complete turn and asked the following question.

"So, Ai, who comes from a big country and a big city, have you ever had any romantic relationships before?"

A cheerful voice rang out. "Have you ever had a lover before? If so, how many relationships have you had? Are you currently single? Please answer truthfully!"

This unexpected question, though no longer related to the Divine Sword or transferring schools, greatly piqued the interest of everyone present.

"Well, since you're from a big city, you must have had a few relationships, right?"

Kurama Rentaro loved this kind of topic, and he laughed and spoke loudly on the spot, causing everyone to cheer.

Aize looked at the person who asked the question with a speechless expression, only to be met with an innocent smile.

"Wait, Moko, why are you making things so difficult for Mr. Aize?"

Asahi Yoshino questioned Hitachi Mako, who was sitting next to her, with some dissatisfaction.

That's right, the question just now was asked by Hitachi Mako.

“This is a good opportunity, Lady Yoshino.” Hitachi Mako said in a low voice, like a female ninja who had seized an opportunity. “I have never had a chance to learn about Lady Aizawa’s love history before, and now I can take this opportunity to find out.”

"I've heard that people from big cities mature very early and have romantic relationships at a young age. Lord Aize may have had a lover before, and may even be secretly in love with someone now."

"After all, Lord Aize is Lady Yoshino's fiancé. I, Nobuhiro Mako, believe that we must find out about this issue in advance."

Upon hearing this, Asahi Yoshino's beautiful brows immediately furrowed.

"Mr. Aize and I are only nominally engaged. Even if he really has a lover, I..."

At this point, for some reason, Asahi Yoshino recalled the scene when she encountered danger on the mountain.

The image of Aize clinging to herself, refusing to let go even when attacked by the evil spirit, and gritting her teeth in perseverance, inexplicably surfaced in Yoshino Asagi's mind.

Thinking of this, Asahi Yoshino's heart fluttered, and her expression became complicated once again.

"It's just to be on the safe side." Hitachi Mako had been observing Asatake Yoshino's behavior. Seeing Asatake Yoshino's complicated expression, a strange look appeared on her face as well. She smiled and said, "What if Lord Aize really has a lover or someone he's in love with? If the other person finds out about your engagement, it might cause misunderstandings, right?"

"At that time, it will be the responsibility of Lady Yoshino to explain things clearly to the other party and resolve any concerns for Lady Aize."

"Right?"

After being told this by Hitachi Mako, Asatake Yoshino was unable to find a rebuttal for a moment.

Then, as her heart grew increasingly turbulent and complicated, Aize's calm voice reached her and the rest of the class.

"It's a pity that I have neither a lover nor have I ever been in a relationship. Although it's a bit embarrassing, I've been single since birth. Before coming to Suizhi, I had almost never even had the chance to hold a girl's hand."

Aize's overly straightforward response startled everyone, and even made Asagi Yoshino suddenly raise her head and look at the podium.

"You can't be kidding me, right?" Kurama Rentaro was the first to express his disbelief, saying with absolute certainty, "How could a handsome man from a big city never have been in a relationship? He's never even held a girl's hand... Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"No wonder you're too lazy to even establish a romantic relationship through physical intimacy? You've hugged her before, haven't you? You must have hugged quite a few girls, haven't you? You little brat!"

Here, "hug" doesn't just mean hugging.

In this country, the phrase "held a girl" actually implies that one has had a sexual relationship with a girl...

Such a blunt statement has led many to express their contempt for Rentaro Kurama.

On the contrary, Yoshino Asatake and Mako Hitachi seemed to be somewhat convinced.

Could it really be like that?

"Mr. Aize..."

Hitachi Mako immediately muttered something, while Asagi Yoshino looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

The main reason is that in their minds, Aize is an excellent man, self-disciplined, strong, and very reliable, making people feel very safe. Therefore, neither Yoshino Asatake nor Mako Hitachi are willing to believe that such a person would be so unpopular that he has hardly ever held a girl's hand.

The students in the class were mostly the same, and they were skeptical of Aize's statement.

There was no way around it; Aize had a good image. Since gaining divine power, his temperament had also begun to transform, becoming somewhat mysterious and otherworldly. Coupled with his calm and unrestrained behavior in front of everyone, many people had a very good first impression of him.

In other words, they don't believe that such a man would have no romantic history, never been in a relationship, or even rarely held a girl's hand.

To this, Aize can only say...

"This is the fourth question already." He smiled calmly. "I'm sorry, but that's enough questions for now. It's time to attend the opening ceremony."

Nakajo Hina immediately spoke up in support.

"That's right, that's right, you guys shouldn't make things too difficult for the new students!" Nakajo Hina said sternly. "Also, you're all still high school students, so you're not allowed to bring up anything related to romance in front of the teachers, especially you, Kurama-kun, you're not allowed to make any dirty jokes in the classroom!"

You actually brought up the topic of hugging in front of the teacher? You guys really treat me like I don't exist.

"Yes~~~"

Kurama Rentaro's drawn-out response infuriated Nakajo Hina.

"Alright, that concludes the welcome ceremony. Just as Ai said, everyone should get ready to attend the opening ceremony!"

Nakajo Hina started kicking people out.

"Hurry up, hurry up! You can go home after the opening ceremony. Remember to be at school on time tomorrow!"

Urged on by Hina Nakajo, the students reluctantly left the classroom.

Kurama Rentaro turned and ran, looking like he was about to escape, but unfortunately, fate soon caught him by the scruff of his neck.

Where do you think you're going?

Aize grabbed Kurama Rentaro and sneered.

"Wait! Let me explain... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kurama Rentaro let out a scream.

The first day of school is destined to be a lively one.
