"That's true, but I've only talked to a few of you in class. I don't even remember the names of some of the other students. Going there would only be awkward."

Ayaka Rie mimicked Uesugi Kai's tone: "That's what you say, but you must have ulterior motives towards us."

"Then you can invite all the male classmates in your class. As long as they agree, you don't need to tell me."

"do not want!"

Rie Ayaka immediately refused, "I'm not familiar with them, and I don't like being near them. I feel more comfortable with fewer people around."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Chitose Mai from Class 2, Grade 1, reporting to her senior!

"That's fine, there's nothing more to say," Uesugi Kai said.

"Humph!"

Rie Ayaka refused to admit defeat, giving Kai Uesugi a disapproving look, snorting softly, and continuing to eat her curry.

After taking a bite of the shrimp fried rice, Kyuju Rika suddenly remembered something and asked Uesugi Kai across from her:

"Uesugi-kun, why were you late this morning? Mr. Haneda probably won't keep you until class time."

Hanabi Hanabi glanced furtively at Kai Uesugi beside her; she was also quite curious about the matter.

"It's nothing. I was just spacing out when I bumped into a classmate from the archery club, and she asked me to apologize," Uesugi Kai said.

Ayaka Riei immediately sat up, looked up at him, and suddenly seemed very happy:

"Did you apologize?"

To be honest, Rie Ayaka has never seen Kai Uesugi apologize, but she can imagine that tone must be very annoying.

"Of course, it's not something shameful."

Kai Uesugi replied, picking up a piece of sushi that Hanabi handed him, putting it in his mouth, and savoring it slowly.

Ayaka Rie's eyes widened instantly, her heart pounding with what felt like an overturned jar of old jealousy. She quickly grabbed Hanabi Hanabi's small arm and cried out:

"Ah~ Hanabi-chan, I want one too."

"Give."

Hanabi Hanamaru didn't think much of it and simply handed her her bento box containing sushi.

This is the bento box that her mother, Mieko, makes for her every day; it's exquisite and delicious.

Sushi is a regular item, but the types often change. For example, today it might be corn sushi, and tomorrow it might be sweet shrimp sushi, egg sushi, or salad crab leg sushi.

Mieko also knew that Hanabi had a habit of sharing her things with her classmates, so the food in her bento box was often more than she could eat.

After tasting the sweet flavor of the corn, Ayaka Rie couldn't help but smile broadly, happily hugging Hanabi Hanamaru and saying:

"Hehe, Hanabi-chan is still the best."

"No...no, that's not it."

Hanabi Hanamaru could feel Ayaka Rie's enthusiasm. She placed the bento box in the middle and said, "If anyone wants to eat, they can have some. The portion is a bit large; I can't finish it all by myself."

......

After finishing lunch, the group quickly returned to the classroom.

The lunch break at Shen Gao High School is not long, but fortunately, you can still take a short nap for about half an hour after lunch.

Kai Uesugi lay sprawled on the table, a book propping him up so his arms wouldn't get too stiff when he slept.

Listening to the sounds of his classmates chatting and laughing in the classroom, Uesugi Kai closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep peacefully in the hazy darkness, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

The effect of the half-hour break was also significant. Uesugi Kai felt that the lessons she listened to this afternoon were particularly easy to understand, whether it was physics or geography.

Although this is very likely the result of an intelligence level of 8.

Ring ring ring...

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

As soon as the geography teacher walked out of the classroom, Goto Iwakatsu jumped up and shouted loudly:

"Alright! Another day of club life!"

This attracted the attention of many classmates.

"You've fallen in love with your photography department?"

As Takahiro Tsubokawa packed his schoolbag, he spoke, heading towards the Uniform Research Department in the club building.

"Ok!"

Goto Iwakatsu's face was full of anticipation, as if he were brimming with enthusiasm.

"Photographer! That's the enviable profession. I've decided, my dream is to become a photographer!"

Seeing this hot-blooded guy, Uesugi Kai decided to pour some cold water on him to cool him down:

“I remember you had five dreams last school year: baseball player, bank clerk, fashion designer, lawyer, mortician, and now photographer. You’re quite busy.”

At this moment, Takahiro Tsubokawa added jokingly, "Goto has lofty ambitions, attempting to span six major fields in his lifetime and become a benchmark and role model for ordinary people across the country."

There was one thing that Uesugi Kai was curious about, so she asked:

"What do these professions have in common?"

“Ah, I know that,” Takahiro Tsubokawa said expressionlessly. “He gets excited every time he sees a cool profession, like the bank clerk, which he came up with after watching 'Hanzawa Naoki'.”

"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth?" Uesugi Kai looked at Goto Iwakatsu.

"Isn't that exciting?" Goto Iwakatsu countered.

Kai Uesugi put the books on the table into his bag: "So why are you thinking of becoming a photographer again? This doesn't have the same passion as Hanzawa fighting against the bank's top brass and overthrowing the old guard."

"Wow, that's cool! Only cool professions are more attractive to girls. I won't say more."

Goto Iwakatsu quickly packed his schoolbag, slung it over his left shoulder, and stood up, saying to the two of them:

"I'm going to my club now, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, he rushed out of the classroom, looking like he couldn't wait.

"..."

Kai Uesugi looked at Takahiro Tsubokawa, who shrugged, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and said to him:

"See you tomorrow."

The afternoon dismissal time was always noisy. Uesugi Kai slung his bag over his shoulder and walked down the school building alone among the students.

After passing through the courtyard, he walked to the right, preparing to head towards the archery club on the other side of the playground.

Although he hates troublesome things, he'll go again out of respect for Senior Qingyou yesterday.

"Hey, Uesugi-kun."

Kai Uesugi felt a tap on his right shoulder and turned to look.

"This way."

A clear, melodious voice came from the left again. Uesugi Kai turned his head once more, looking expressionlessly at the sailor-uniformed girl beside him with a grin on her face and her hands behind her back.

She was still wearing the same earphone she had in the morning, but she wasn't chewing gum anymore.

Ignoring her, Uesugi Kai continued walking forward.

Seeing Uesugi Kai walking further and further away, Chitose Mai quickly ran over to block his way:

"Hey, why aren't you giving any response?"

"What kind of reaction do you expect from me?" Uesugi Kai didn't answer her question, but instead asked her in return.

"Well..."

Chitose Mayi tilted her head slightly, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, she smiled and said to him, "I don't know either."

"You're going to the archery club?"

"Of course, why are you asking when you already know the answer?"

"Then hurry up and leave, don't block the way."

Unable to stand such an overly familiar girl, Uesugi Kai felt bewildered and turned around to walk past her.

Chitose Mai chuckled lightly, not minding at all, and jogged to Uesugi Kai's right side, looking up at him and saying:

"Uesugi-kun, from now on we'll be classmates in the same club. As your classmate, you'll have to be considerate of me, after all, you're my senior."

"Are you a new student this year?"

“Yes, I’m your super cute junior.” Chitose Mai nodded in reply.

As she spoke, she took out chewing gum from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and immediately placed two fingers on her forehead.

Then, she looked up at Kai Uesugi and said with a smile:

"Chitose Mai, Class 2, Year 1, reporting for duty, senior!"

###Chapter Twenty-Eight: Correct Usage of the System###

"......"

Looking at her upturned smile, Uesugi Kai didn't know what to say.

But as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. A bright smile can always bring unexpected warmth and make people lower their guard.

Naturally, his tone softened somewhat:

"Go to the archery club."

The archery club had already gathered in small groups of two or three.

Greeted by Aoyuu Masaya, Uesugi Kaiya sat down in the dojo. He looked around and noticed that there were more than half as many students as yesterday.

The entire dojo suddenly felt empty.

However, Minister Aoyuya seemed quite happy, saying that it was already very good that one-third of the students remained at the briefing.

He clapped his hands and smiled at everyone present, saying:
