People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

Based on this alone, Bai Lan felt confident that she could easily win over Karuizawa.

Because Bai Lan heard very little, his workload for the music score was also very small.

It only took a dozen minutes, and even though Bai Lan had tried her best to be perfect, she still managed to finish the background music.

After finishing the music, Bai Lan took out her phone and found the contacts that Kushida had provided her with.

Find Karuizawa's name and number.

Soon, Bai Lan sent a text message to Karuizawa:

"Karuizawa-san, you don't want other people to know what you told Hirata, do you?"

.......

After meeting with Hirata, Karuizawa returned to her room and began taking a shower.

After showering, I lay in the bathtub and played on my phone.

Just then, she suddenly received a message.

Open it and take a look.

From: Bai Lan, Class D, Grade 1

Karuizawa-san, you don't want other people to know what you and Hirata talked about, do you?

After reading the contents, Karuizawa was so frightened that her body trembled, her hand suddenly went limp, and she couldn't hold onto her phone.

The phone slipped from Karuizawa's hand and fell into the bathtub with a splash.

"Wow!!!"

After a moment of panic and frantic activity, Karuizawa retrieved the phone from the bathtub and dried it with a towel.

On the surface, the phone has been wiped dry, but what is it actually like?

What's going on inside...?

Karuizawa nervously pressed the power button.

The screen lights up.

Karuizawa immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

You should know that the brochure given when we enrolled said that if your phone breaks, you'll have to pay to get a new one—a whopping 100,000 points!

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

It is said that its true market value is far more than 100,000; 100,000 can only be considered an "internal discount price".

However, thankfully, it is indeed a phone worth far more than 100,000.

The waterproof function is really good; it didn't get wet even after being submerged in water for more than ten seconds.

and many more!

Karuizawa quickly realized that her biggest problem wasn't the 100,000 yen!

Karuizawa looked at the lit screen and saw the name of the "sender" displayed on the information interface.

"From: Bai Lan, Class D, Grade 1"

Upon seeing the name "Bai Lan," Karuizawa felt as if she had been struck hard in the chest with a hammer; the pain was heavy and intense, making it hard for her to breathe.

Karuizawa covered his head with his hands and squatted on the ground.

"How does Bai Lan know what I said to Hirata?"

Could it be that Hirata-san told Shiro-san?

How long has it been?

Hirata really trusts Shirai that much?

I clearly told him that I was very afraid of Bai Lan, so why did he still let Bai Lan contact me?

Bai Lan has come to find me now, what should I do?

How terrifying!

Not long ago, Karuizawa did indeed arrange to meet with Hirata.

Bai Lan was right; Karuizawa had indeed asked Hirata to be her boyfriend.

Karuizawa did indeed threaten Hirata with things like his classmates being bullied, in danger, or feeling scared.

Hirata did agree to Karuizawa's request to date her in order to "prevent his classmates from being bullied."

Bai Lan guessed most of the right things.

But it's only "basic".

Bai Lan's guess was slightly different from the actual situation.

Karuizawa's way of asking Hirata to be her boyfriend is a little different from what Shirai thought.

It was just a tiny difference, but because of that tiny deviation, the final result was off by a "hundreds of millions of points".

In fact, the "victim" that Karuizawa refers to as "bullying," "danger," and "fear" is not someone else, but herself!

She herself!

In Karuizawa's view, if Hirata refuses to be her boyfriend, it won't be long before she becomes the one who gets bullied, is in danger, and lives in constant fear!

Like Kushida, Karuizawa is someone who hides her true self.

In fact, Bai Lan had once inadvertently guessed some of the truth correctly.

Not long ago, Bai Lan had this guess: "Could it be that Karuizawa is actually a strong and sassy hot girl on the surface, but secretly a weak and timid soft girl? Fierce and menacing during the day, but secretly hiding away and crying at night?"

Bai Lan's conjecture, while not entirely accurate, is close enough.

Karuizawa's assertiveness is actually a facade, designed to conceal her weakness.

The reason she was able to disguise herself so convincingly, to withstand Bai Lan's repeated tests without showing any fear, was that Bai Lan could not see any weakness in her at all.

It's because the person she's pretending to be is actually the one she knows best, and also the one she fears most.

To be precise, it's those people!

The images of those people, the terrible things they did to her, the near loss of her life...

All of this was deeply etched in her mind and could not be forgotten.

Karuizawa can't help but think about the people who give her positional fear every day.

Even through her fear filter, things that were already terrifying became even more frightening!

She would wake up in fright from reliving those things in her dreams, then hide under the covers and cry in fear.

Because of the psychological trauma she suffered from almost losing her life during bullying, she was afraid to go to school anymore.

Until she received an invitation to enroll in Advanced Education High School.

She felt she had been given a chance to leave the past behind and start anew.

Karuizawa cherished this opportunity.

To do this, she first portrayed herself as a very tough and unapproachable hot girl.

In addition, she also spent time practicing the way of speaking, eye contact, and actions of the bullies who had bullied her in the past.

Think about fear, recognize fear, understand fear, and finally, become fear!

All of this is for self-protection.

Testimonials

It's finally going to be available!

My editor asked me to write a closing statement, so here it is.

This book is about a male high school student who is clearly emotional but pretends to be heartless, bold and rebellious but has his own set of principles. He causes all sorts of trouble in order to drop out of school, and in the process, he inevitably develops feelings for people. The story goes from resisting feelings to learning to enjoy them.

There is a system, but it has little presence. Apart from providing a rationale for the protagonist's behavior patterns and powerful physique, it can basically be ignored.

Coming to the shelves.

To be honest, I feel very uneasy.

It was said that you could only ask about follow-up reading during the recommended period, but there were no recommendations this week.

Therefore, I am not very clear about the recent reading progress.

I think my story is interesting, but I don't know if others will be willing to buy into it.

I hope to continue writing, to have a beginning and an end, to give my story a start and a finish.

I've thought of so many interesting things and I want to write them down. If I don't write them down and show them off... I feel really bad about not sharing them.

But when I write it down and find that no one reads it, it feels like I'm wasting my energy and emotions, which makes me feel even worse.

I dare not hope for too much.

I just hope that perfect attendance won't be the biggest expense.

The cat station only has so many perfect attendance records, it's not very appealing.

I still want to earn some money.

In short, please give me your support!

Logically, a reward should be offered in the end.

But even if it seems uncertain, it still seems uncertain.

But think about it again, what if?

Then:

I'll add another chapter if you give me 50 blades or 5000 coins as a reward.
