As a former member of C-group, I want to destroy mygo!

"You're here?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked up, staring directly at her student. "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I know, but I won't change." Kamiya Yu said without changing his expression. Although he transmigrated less than a year after graduating and working in his previous life, he had finally shed his student status. Now, it was only natural that he wouldn't be like an ordinary student who would naturally feel fear and cower when he encountered a teacher.

"You little brat, are you completely stubborn?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was surprised by this. This kid was so bold. Even if she insisted on joining a club, it would probably be difficult to get her to comply.

Since that's the case, we can only address the symptoms.

"You can't just waste your three years of high school. If you don't join clubs now, make more friends, and have a wonderful time, you'll regret it later."

Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke earnestly, knowing firsthand how precious youth is: "Why don't you want to join a club?"

After a moment's thought, Kamiya Yu replied honestly, "Because I have no interest in any clubs."

It's true, the only thing he's interested in now is playing in a band.

"You little rascal... ah, my head hurts." Hiratsuka Shizuka was at a loss, not knowing where to start. She could tell that the boy was telling the truth, but she would rather it was a lie, because this kind of excuse was the most difficult to deal with.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka's pressing of her aching brow suddenly stopped. She suddenly thought that since she had no interest, why not create one?

However, you can't force the other person into a large club, otherwise it could easily lead to disputes, and you might end up doing more harm than good.

Coincidentally, she actually did have a suitable option.

"Hey, if there was a club with only one person, only one beautiful girl, would you be interested?" Hiratsuka Shizuka thought she was hiding it well, but actually the corners of her mouth were already twitching like a fox's tail, revealing a wicked sense of humor.

"A beautiful girl? Pfft—" Upon hearing this, Kamiya Yu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and barely managed to refrain from laughing out loud.

Although no one in Crychic is his girlfriend, he has still enjoyed being surrounded by a beautiful girl band. How could he be so easily swayed by a mere stranger to stop him from playing in a band?

Besides, if I had to say... his heart probably already has no room for anyone else.

"What, you don't want any pretty girls?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was first surprised, then her stubborn eyebrows shot up. Having been outmaneuvered by this student time and time again, she had to turn the tables now, even if it was just to save face!

"Hey, don't take your good fortune for granted. Yukinoshita isn't just any ordinary pretty girl. She's both academically and athletically gifted, always in the top three of her grade, you know? And she's proficient in everything. Whether it's sports or musical instruments, she's good at them all. Plus, she's an upright person. Having a friend like that would definitely be good for your life, you know?"

Kamiya Yu, who had originally intended to simply take his leave and go to Kurokawa Akane to finalize the band arrangements, suddenly had his pupils shrink and his mental energy become highly concentrated during this moment of idleness.

From Hiratsuka Shizuka's rambling words, he keenly extracted a key word.

Kamiya Yu suddenly became very interested, his dark and bright eyes sparkling with a sense of good fortune. His words of opposition turned into words that echoed Hiratsuka Shizuka's thoughts: "Let's go."

"Huh?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was taken aback, looking at Kamiya Yu, whose attitude had suddenly changed 180 degrees. "Where are we going?"

"Let's go find that Yukinoshita," Kamiya Yu couldn't wait any longer. "Didn't she want me to join her club? We should at least meet her first and let me see what she's made of, right?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, almost stepping into the corridor, and urged, "Lead the way, Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Huh?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was completely bewildered. Although it was a good thing that she had successfully persuaded him, the change came too suddenly, and she couldn't react at all.

And I have a feeling that this kid has ulterior motives. Although I don't know what he's after, he doesn't seem like he wants to join a club.

"Tsk, well, it's better to go than not to go. Once we get there, we might be able to keep them here."

After a moment's thought, Hiratsuka Shizuka reluctantly calmed down. On her way to the Service Club founded by Yukinoshita, she took the time to explain the club's mission, which was essentially a volunteer club dedicated to helping others.

Kamiya Yu listened with "uh-huh," he didn't care about such things.

Upon arriving at the location, Hiratsuka Shizuka, without saying a word, casually flung open the door to the Service Club, revealing a literary girl sitting inside, quietly reading a book.

She was indeed a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair, living up to Hiratsuka Shizuka's praise. Her long, black hair was not only shiny but also visibly smooth, making her seem even better than Riki's.

The only drawback is that her breasts are too modest, too budding, even less curvaceous than the evil pink-haired Chihaya Aine who bewitched Riki and the others. This might make that traitor Nagasaki Motoyo feel smug, thinking that he hasn't been completely crushed by his new band.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, I told you to knock—who is this?"

Disturbed from her leisurely reading time, Yukino Yukinoshita first sighed regretfully, then looked at the boy who was staring at her with slight displeasure. If his gaze hadn't been devoid of any covetousness, she would have shown him what a sharp tongue was just because of the pity in his eyes when he glanced at her chest.

"Ahem, I knocked but you didn't hear me. Come on, Kamiya Yu, let's get to know each other." Hiratsuka Shizuka covered up her mistake. "We'll be teammates in the same club from now on, so get along well."

Yukinoshita raised a delicate eyebrow: "Is he here to join the Service Club?"

"It's fake." Kamiya Yu denied it on the spot, and didn't have time to look at the hurt expression on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face when she saw the student's rebellion. Instead, he stared undisguisedly at Yukinoshita's slender hands as she put down her book.

What amazing hands! You can tell at a glance that they must possess guitar skills surpassing even Akane Kurokawa's.

Under his almost scorching gaze, Yukinoshita, feeling slightly uneasy, instinctively hid her hands under the table and asked in an attempt to sound tough, "So you've come to ask for a request?"

Upon hearing this, Kamiya Yu shook his head again. Then, he took a strong step forward, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at the girl who was clearly uncomfortable being stared at.

Then, he suddenly uttered a statement that was nothing short of earth-shattering:

"Yukinoshita-san, please close the Service Club immediately and become a member of my band!"

Volume 6: Chapter 6. Are you a music guru?

"--ha?!"

Faced with this unexpected invitation, it was not Yukino Yukinoshita who first cried out in surprise, but Shizuka Hiratsuka who was completely taken aback and found that things had developed in a way that was completely beyond her expectations.

After she let out a strange cry that was completely unlike a teacher's, Yukino Yukinoshita stared intently at Yu Kamiya with her azure eyes that shimmered with surprise.

Her fierce gaze was sharp and oppressive, seemingly a deliberate response to the way he had scrutinized her earlier. However, after observing her for a while, she frowned slightly, as if caught in some incomprehensible dilemma, unable to discern what Kamiya Yu's true intentions were in making the invitation.

He immediately buried this inner turmoil deep inside, rested his chin on his left hand, and murmured to himself:

"I can't understand how someone could make such a rude request to a complete stranger. So that's what rock and roll is all about."

Kamiya Yu heard these words clearly, and looking at the girl's ambiguous smile, he knew very well that she was expressing her dissatisfaction with him.

But he has always been indifferent.

"You probably don't know this yet, but in the world of music, there is no such thing as 'restraint'! I think you can get used to this from now on."

Resounding and powerful words burst forth from Kamiya Yu's throat.

"If this seems too sudden, then I apologize. Now I can formally extend this invitation to you again. What is your response, Yukinoshita-san?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly in a playful manner. This seemingly cute action, coupled with the mocking smile on her lips, suddenly took on a different meaning, revealing her resistant attitude:

"I have only one question now... Is playing in a band the new popular excuse for picking up girls this year?"

The moment she finished speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a sudden, uncontrollable tremor in her heart. She saw Kamiya Yu's excited expression and couldn't help but become indifferent for a moment. It was the genuine displeasure of someone who had been violated, something that could not be faked.

Kamiya Yu is clearly a true musician. Yukino Yukinoshita's words, while narcissistic, are far from a serious insult to his musical integrity.

Fortunately, before the worried Hiratsuka Shizuka could remind her, Yukino Yukinoshita keenly realized her inappropriateness and lowered her head slightly.

"...But I still don't understand, what makes you think I would be interested in a stranger and his band that means nothing to me?"

She didn't apologize, but she did realize her mistake. Although she still used the wording of rejection, it was clear that she had accepted the sincerity of Kamiya Yu's invitation to join the band and stopped overthinking.

Kamiya Yu's displeasure softened after a moment, and he shook his head with a smile: "What you said... I really have no way to refute it."

"But you're still so confident?" Yukino Yukinoshita became curious. She didn't think of herself as someone who was easily persuaded, otherwise she wouldn't have moved out on her own just because she didn't get along with her mother and sister.

Faced with her curious gaze, Kamiya Yu confidently countered, "Have you ever been in a band or done a live show?"

This was a question asked with certainty; before Yukinoshita could answer, he had already confirmed the answer.

Yukino Yukinoshita exuded an aura of restraint and self-importance that was so strong it was visible to the naked eye. As someone who had been through it all, Yuu Kamiya knew very well how different it was to someone who had been in a band compared to someone who hadn't.

Back then, before the live performance, Akari's sense of restraint was a hundred times stronger than that of Yukinoshita in front of her.

But after the live performance, the free spirit of a musician completely takes over—although it still feels like a small, darkened room.

However, given his experience, Kamiya Yu was truly confident that he could win over Yukino Yukinoshita.

Looking at the boy's fierce confidence and the expression that made him think he had her completely under his thumb, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but feel a sense of being underestimated. Even if it was just to avoid being looked down upon, she was determined to fight to the bitter end: "So what if I don't have any?"

"Well~~" Kamiya Yu smiled slightly, but at this moment he became a riddle-maker who left everyone scratching their heads.

If Yukino Yukinoshita had already played in a band, he would definitely choose to change his target instead of sticking with her.

But given the current situation, he was confident that if everything went smoothly, Yukinoshita would be trapped like a turtle in a jar, just waiting for him to deliver the fatal blow.

"A week, I guess." He thought for a moment and offered a timeframe. "You'll know by the latest, a week from now."

"Oh?" Yukino Yukinoshita sneered. She never knew that she was such an easy woman to win over. "Then I'll wait for you here. I really hope no one will desert."

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita's competitive spirit was completely ignited, and her fighting spirit soared.

Even so, Kamiya Yuu was not overwhelmed by her at all. He just chuckled leisurely and then went to collect the prerequisites for conquering Yukino Yukinoshita.

Just as their argument came to an end, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly realized something and, as if waking from a dream, followed Kamiya Yu who had turned to leave: "So, the reason you didn't join a club was because you wanted to start a band?!"

"You're something else! You've got ambition, good job! I believe in you, keep it up, don't let your teacher down!"

She got excited and punched Kamiya Yu on the shoulder. The reason she had insisted that Kamiya Yu join the club was because she was worried that he would miss out on his youth, but now...

Being in a band is way more youthful than playing house in a club!

If Kamiya Yu could really persuade Yukino to join a band, it might actually change her somewhat awkward personality, which would be wonderful.

"If you ever hold a live performance, I'll come and support you!" With a hearty laugh, Hiratsuka Shizuka gave what she thought was a nice promise.

However, upon hearing her words, Kamiya Yu remained calm and smiled slightly, saying, "If I need to sell tickets to the teacher, then I won't need to start this band."

Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka was immediately stunned, frozen in place for a moment.

Kamiya Yu's implication was that he had enough confidence that as long as his band held a live performance, the venue would be packed, and he wouldn't need any friends to collect his "friendship tickets" to support him and recoup their costs.

"This kid, could he actually be a very talented music genius?!"

Book 7: Chapter 7. Piecing Together the Last Piece of the Band, A Fateful Encounter

There is a cherry blossom tree in Hanasakigawa Academy that was planted when the school was founded. Over the decades, it has become a major attraction and has been given a unique meaning.

Even Akane Kurokawa, who wasn't good at gossip, had heard about its significance; it was said to be a sacred place for students to confess their love.

Therefore, when Kamiya Yu suggested meeting here, her heart, which had initially felt somewhat hesitant to make a decision, was instantly chilled.

Before arriving here, Akane Kurokawa had already begun to simulate and rehearse the awkward scene of being confessed to in advance.

However, what she didn't expect was that... something even more embarrassing had already happened before that.

There are already people here.

"Eh?"

Under the cherry blossom tree, another girl, who had arrived earlier than Akane Kurokawa, was waiting. Her breathtakingly beautiful face, hidden beneath her magnificent silver-white hair, was now showing signs of great impatience.

The moment Kurokawa Akane saw him, she immediately changed her expression, revealing a gentle and affectionate smile. The speed of the change was so fast that Kurokawa Akane almost thought she was hallucinating.

If she hadn't had enough confidence in her eyesight, she probably would have gotten away with it. However, even knowing the truth, Kurokawa Akane had no intention of exposing it.
