My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

'Summer homework, summer homework, eh, it seems there really is such a thing. For the first half of summer vacation, Kouta seemed to be doing some kind of homework every morning...'

'I remember it was a pretty thick notebook, but where did I put it? I can't remember.'

"Oh right, I remember now! I originally planned to borrow it from Kouta after he finished writing it so I could copy it myself, but then... then I forgot about it."

Hui remembered that she still remembered the summer homework about two weeks before summer vacation. At that time, Kouta originally planned to help her copy it, but she felt sorry for Kouta having to work, so she decided to copy it herself.

However, things took an unexpected turn, and so many things happened that Hui completely forgot about her summer homework.

This is truly sad news.

at the same time.

Sakurako Nakajima has already started collecting summer homework.

There were six rows in total. The ball was passed from the last student in each row to the front, while Sakurako Nakajima was at the very front to count the balls.

In the classroom, everyone was passing their homework forward in an orderly manner, and for a moment the only sound in the classroom was rustling.

Akiko, who was in front of Hui, was waiting for Hui to hand in her homework, but she waited and waited and waited and there was no response.

So he turned to Hui and asked, "My wife's classmate, where's your homework?"

However, Akiko Tachibana did not receive the answer she expected.

Kei simply gave Tachibana Akiko an elegant yet somewhat biased smile. (＾－＾)V

Akiko Tachibana was taken aback: "My wife's classmate, my wife's classmate! It's not a joke, it's homework."

Hui greeted him with the same smile.

At that moment, Akiko Tachibana understood: "I see."

Akiko already knew that Kei hadn't done her homework. Although she sighed inwardly, she had no choice but to stop waiting for Kei and pass her own homework forward.

Everyone worked very efficiently, and the assignments were collected quickly.

As expected.

As expected, class monitor Nakajima Sakurako discovered that only Kei hadn't handed in his work.

She came over to Hui and asked, "My wife, where's your homework?"

Hui sighed, a hint of sadness on her face: "Sigh, there was a burglary at home, and my summer homework was stolen."

Sakurako Nakajima's face darkened. "Your house was burgled, and your summer homework was stolen?" She was going to help you out of respect for Shimazu, but... do you think I'm a fool?

"In that case, my wife, you can explain it to the teacher yourself."

Sakurako Nakajima left with an angry sigh as she turned and walked away.

Originally, Nakajima wanted to help Kei because he saw that his good friend Shimazu Shoko had a good relationship with her. However, Kei's behavior made him very unhappy.

Ms. Nakagawa, who was on the podium, watched the whole thing. Although she couldn't hear clearly because of the distance, she could guess the gist of the matter.

Finally, Mr. Nakagawa asked Sakurako Nakajima, "What's wrong? Did my wife, Kei, not hand it in?"

Sakurako Nakajima glanced apologetically at Kei and could only tell the truth. However, she did not tell Yuko Nakagawa the flimsy excuse that Kei's homework had been stolen. She simply said, "Kei did not hand in her homework."

Upon hearing this, Nakagawa's face immediately darkened, and he shouted at Kei, "My wife, why didn't you hand in your homework?"

His voice was cold and his tone stern, foreshadowing the coming storm.

Seeing this, Sakurako Nakajima explained to Kei, "Perhaps my wife's classmate is just too busy during the holidays—"

However, a hostile voice interrupted, "What do you mean by being busy? I think it's just that they think they're geniuses and look down on the homework that only ordinary people like us have to do!"

Hui looked at the person who had so ruthlessly kicked her when she was down. The other person was a girl, and her name seemed to be: Konno Miki.

Hui vaguely remembered that her family owned a chain of supermarkets. In Class D, where most students came from families of ordinary employees, she was considered to have a privileged background.

However, Hui did not remember when she had offended her. In fact, Hui remembered that she had no interaction with her at all and had never spoken a word to her.

Chapter 251 Clubs

She glanced at Konno Miki, who was giving her a hostile look.

Hui sighed inwardly, but she wasn't surprised. After all, these days, it's impossible to please everyone; it's normal for some people to dislike you.

Hui never sought to please outsiders, and she took it all in stride: 'If you don't like me, that's your business; just don't bother me.'

The classroom was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Under the increasingly gloomy gaze of Ms. Nakagawa Yuko.

Hui also stood up on her own...

Yuko Nakagawa thought Kei was going to explain, but... Kei just stood there.

"My wife, don't you have anything to say?" Ms. Nakagawa Yuko couldn't help but ask.

"No... I don't think so!"

Hui's soft voice echoed in the classroom.

The others were deeply moved, thinking, 'What's the point of standing up if you're not here?'

At this moment, Nakagawa Yuko was extremely angry. She stared at the seemingly helpless figure standing there, but in her heart, she knew: 'This troublemaker definitely doesn't take me seriously!'

However, under modern teaching philosophies, teachers cannot shirk responsibility if a student accidentally trips or falls. Therefore, Nakagawa knew he couldn't do anything to Hui, and could only give her a simple punishment at most.

Moreover, the other party is a top student with excellent grades, so even a normal punishment would probably be criticized by other colleagues.

At last,

Nakagawa's face was cold, and his deep voice rang out: "Come to my office after school."

“Yes, teacher,” Hui replied.

······

After class,

Hui lay slumped on the table, looking indifferent to life and death.

"Oh dear, what a misfortune!"

Hui sighed, feeling a surge of irritation at the thought of having to go to the office after school.

Kouta, who was standing next to her, grabbed Kei's small hand and squeezed it in his. Kei did not resist but let him squeeze it. After a while, Kouta asked with concern, "Kei-chan, are you alright?"

Hui's little head, which was lying on the table, rotated about half a circle, facing Kouta. She covered her mouth with a puzzled expression, her blank look as if to say, "What's wrong with me?"

Kouta had initially thought that Hui would be disheartened after being scolded by the teacher, but seeing that Hui still looked like a lazy bum, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Seeing that Hui still has such a silly expression, I'm relieved."

Upon hearing this, Hui immediately became displeased, pouting her pink lips: "You're the stupid one, your whole family is stupid, hmph! I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, Hui really turned her little head, which had been lying down, to the other side.

just,

The little hand, still being held and played with by Kouta, didn't pull away...

Afterwards, the school organized all students to gather in the gymnasium to listen to a speech by Principal Ippei Ogata.

Hearing Ogata Ippei's familiar voice again, Kei felt a pang of nostalgia. However, after Ogata Ippei launched into a long lecture, this slight nostalgia quickly turned into the same sentiment as everyone else: 'Why isn't this old man leaving yet...?'

Finally, an hour and a half later, Ippei Ogata said, "...So, let's all keep up the good work in the new semester."

*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

A continuous round of applause, which silenced Principal Ippei Ogata from speaking, only stopped after he stepped down from the stage.

Everyone returned to the classroom to begin class.

On the first day of class, the teacher didn't cover any important knowledge points; he just gave a brief introduction.

School ended on time at 3 p.m.

The class suddenly became lively again, with almost everyone heading to their respective club classrooms.

Hui remembered that she still had to go to Nakagawa Yuko's office, so she said to Kouta, "Kouta-kun, why don't you go back first?"

Kouta shook his head: "No, I'll wait for you."

Just kidding, it's the same going home, but going home with Hui feels completely different!

Hui was slightly touched. She glanced at Kouta but didn't say anything. However, she thought to herself: "Hmph, you're smart. If you had dared to leave first, you wouldn't have been able to touch me this month!"

Kouta was unaware that he had inadvertently avoided a landmine.

Hui and Kouta arrived at the door of the teachers' office together.

Kouta stood by the door waiting, while Kei knocked on the door and went inside. Once inside, she found that Ms. Nakagawa Yuko had been waiting for her for quite some time.

There weren't many people in the large office at that time.

Hui vaguely recognized some of the faces; they must have been her former teachers.

When these teachers saw Hui, a hint of amazement visibly flashed in their eyes, but they quickly looked away.

Hui came to Nakagawa Yuko.

Ms. Nakagawa spoke first: "I thought you would go straight home and not come."

Hui looked embarrassed: 'Do you really think I have such a bad impression of me?'

On the surface, Hui said very respectfully, "How could that be? I have always kept your words in mind, teacher, and I have never forgotten them for a moment."

"Alright, stop talking. Although I've only been your homeroom teacher for a few weeks, I've gotten to know you fairly well. Do you remember what I said to you when you first transferred here?"

Before Kei could answer, Mr. Nakagawa continued, "I told him back then that you didn't care about your studies at all, and that you came to school just to play."

Hui felt guilty and stammered, "This..."

Even now, I still don't think I was wrong. But now I think I understand why you did that!

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Hui exclaimed in surprise, completely bewildered: What do you know? Why didn't I know?

Nakagawa's voice continued with certainty: "Heaven has endowed you with such high talent that learning the same courses as ordinary people would be no challenge at all!"

"Teacher, weren't you going to criticize me for not doing my summer homework?" Hui couldn't help but interject.
