The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Because she was watching from the side, she was hit right between the eyebrows by the flying projectile.

Shiori Hachiya, who was caught in a sudden and unexpected disaster: ?!

The strength of an ability user should not be underestimated. She immediately let out a cry of pain, feeling as if her head was about to crack open, buzzing in her ears.

Fortunately, just as she was about to fall backward, Kita Kirihara caught her as she swayed, saving her from the fate of being shot in the head and then tragically falling to the ground.

Faced with her two classmates who had inexplicably started arguing, Ai Cheng Hua Ren, who preferred everyone to get along harmoniously, was extremely flustered. She stood somewhat hesitantly between the two glaring at each other, forcing a smile and trying to mediate: "Um... you two, calm down first..."

Oh dear... She's terrible at mediating fights.

The last time Ai Chenghua tried to mediate a fight, it seems, was during a revue.

What was the scene like back then...?

Oh right, it was Chun Chun and Xiao Guang who were revue. I couldn't sit still when I saw Xiao Guang looking like he was about to give up, so I jumped onto the stage without really thinking and got involved in the battle.

That move was indeed very effective.

After the revue, Chun Chun and Xiao Guang stopped fighting. After communicating well with Chun Chun who had calmed down, their relationship became even closer!

So, the best option to mediate a fight is—

—In short, let's get both of them into the theater for a revue.

Then, defeat them one by one, and let them calm down and listen to what you have to say.

[...That's unnecessary, Karen.]

Then, the director stopped her.

Edison Chen felt a little regretful, but fortunately, the director was there, and her difficult situation was finally resolved.

Shiori Hachiya's cry of pain caught the attention of Asagami Maku and Yagawa Mari, who were arguing.

The two were almost at each other when they instinctively looked toward the corner where the commotion was coming from. They saw Kita Kirihara supporting a strange woman, with Inoue Teru following behind. They looked like they had been caught in the crossfire. They immediately realized their mistake and restrained themselves.

However, he still glared at the other party with dissatisfaction.

When Yagawa Mari saw her own family, her initial lack of confidence suddenly surged. Her chubby cheeks made her seem less intimidating when she was angry, and for some reason, she looked like Kirby from Kirby's Dream Land, pink and round.

The reason these two started arguing wasn't actually that complicated.

When Yagawa Mari saw Inoue Teru, she immediately felt like she had found her parent, and angrily complained, "Inoue-san, this guy is really awful!"

She spoke with a heavy Kyoto accent, her pronunciation was deliberately mumbled and soft, and she lacked any imposing presence.

"Huh?! You're the one who went too far!" Asagami Shinku protested loudly, her tail fur standing on end. "I almost touched that little black cat... if it weren't for you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly the electrical current you carry that frightens small animals, which is why that stray cat ran away."

Yagawa Mari puffed out her cheeks, completely denying the truth that she had also tried to reach out and touch the cat, but had scared it when she got close, which caused Asagami Makoto's previous seduction efforts to be in vain.

Kita Kirihara probably learned the reason for the two's argument from Aijo Karen.

It was all because of a stray cat that was found outside the dormitory.

Asagami Shinku had been working hard for a long time, and was finally about to touch the cautious black cat with the cat treat she had prepared, when she was interrupted by Yagawa Mari, who walked over clumsily.

The black cat snatched the red cat treat from Asagami in one swift motion, flicked its tail, and quickly jumped up the tree and disappeared.

The two stood in the courtyard looking at each other, and after half a minute they began to blame each other, until Kita Kirihara and the others arrived.

[Damn, what kind of reason do elementary school kids have for arguing?]

These two will have a terrible relationship from now on, all because of a stray cat?!

[This is hilarious! No wonder Shinku and Mari both remained silent about the reasons for their bad relationship in subsequent interviews... It would be so embarrassing if others found out.]

[In a way, these two are way too vengeful, haha, they actually managed to hold a grudge over this for so long.]

[If Truth hadn't been seriously injured and disappeared six months later, this feud would probably have continued until they were both old women.]

Don't remind me of that kind of thing—

As mentioned before, the results for the national teams were not very good.

For example, Mari Yagawa was struck by a stray arrow during a mission six months later, leaving her critically injured and on the verge of death. Due to the enemy's obstruction, even her body could not be found.

Not long after, Inoue Teru dropped out of the National Hero High School and chose to continue his pursuit of the truth. After a series of events, he was resurrected and became an outlaw standing on the opposite side of the tower... But that's another story.

The upcoming series of almost bombarding plot developments, or rather, destiny events, that will unfold in less than two months are completely unknown to the current hero trainees.

They can still childishly express their displeasure over minor disagreements, just like children their age, straightforward and passionate.

Even their arguments conveyed a youthful charm that made Shiori Hachiya smile knowingly.

This is perhaps the charm of what is called "everyday life".

However, daily life is daily life, and watching a show is watching a show. Shiori Hachiya, who came to join in the fun, was so embarrassed that she couldn't laugh anymore.

What's even more embarrassing is that, as a senior colleague, everyone witnessed this shameful scene.

Shiori Hachiya, under everyone's gaze, racked her brains for a while before finally managing to squeeze out a dry sentence: "...Everyone, please stop arguing."

Cookie crumbs were still stuck to her bangs, and you could vaguely see her red forehead through the gaps in her hair, making her look disheveled and miserable.

"Who are you?" Asagami Shinku looked at the guy wearing a mask and sunglasses, his face completely covered, looking incredibly suspicious, and couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the rather surprised look on Yagawa Mari's face.

The other person lowered their voice: "How exactly did you get admitted...? Didn't you have an interview?"

This is clearly the chief examiner of the entrance exam, now one of the top-tier individuals in the tower—a mental ability user codenamed "Dream Weaver."

Although it does look very suspicious now.

“…I am your teacher.” Shiori Hachiya pulled down her mask and sunglasses, staring at Shinku Asagami with great resentment.

Shiori Hachiya's gaze made Asagami Maku and Yagawa Mari feel extremely guilty. Before they could even apologize properly, they were caught in the mental network that Miss Dreamweaver had silently spread out, and their eyelids immediately drooped.

In just a few seconds, she was trapped in the dream forced upon her by Shiori Hachiya, collapsing onto the sofa. She was caught by Karen Aijo and Teru Inoue, who stepped forward, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.

It just so happens that neither of these two people has any resistance to mental abilities, so their struggles are ineffective.

Although she is indeed easy to talk to, as a teacher, she should at least establish authority.

Shiori Hachiya silently linked the dreams of the two people together, and then set up a battle royale-type dream, intending to let the two of them learn how to cooperate.

Using her abilities in reality isn't difficult for her, but it's not as free and unrestrained as in her dreams.

From the Dream Weaver's fingertips, threads resembling glowing spiderwebs rapidly extended, disappearing like tentacles between the brows of the two troublemakers.

What was originally a peaceful and tranquil sleeping face was suddenly contorted with fear and horror, and even in her sleep she frowned deeply and uttered restless murmurs.

Shiori Hachiya glanced briefly at Karen Aijo, who returned a blank smile.

Then, as if realizing something, Shiori Hachiya injected elements of her own past nightmares into the dreams of Asagami Shinku and Yagawa Mari.

The two people who had fallen into a deep sleep became even more terrified as they sensed the fear of being chased by a train that had suddenly descended from the sky.

Inoue Teru: ...What kind of dream is this?

She breathed a sigh of relief as she brought her own Yagawa Mari back to the tidied room. Asagami Shinku was also moved into the room by Aijo Karen and Kita Kirihara.

"Judging from this, I don't know if I'll be able to attend the entrance ceremony this afternoon," Inoue Teru sighed as he ate lunch.

Because he was going to attend the entrance ceremony in the afternoon, Inoue Teru changed his usual leather jacket and pants into his school uniform.

However, the school doesn't actually have a uniform requirement. The uniforms are custom-made according to the students' needs, but they are generally dark gray or black to achieve a certain degree of uniformity in color.

Therefore, Inoue Teru was still dressed in a black leather jacket, which, combined with her very short hair and the tattoos on her fingers, gave her a somewhat rebellious air.

She held a sandwich in one hand, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed, her serious expression resembling that of a hamster. Quite incongruous with her androgynous, cool style was a glass of milk beside her.

When asked, Inoue Teru would blush and honestly answer that he wanted to increase his height as much as possible.

While getting the milk, she glanced at Kita Kirihara, who was much taller than her.

Kita Kirihara sat opposite her, taking off his black trench coat and draping it over the chair. The collar and cuffs of his shirt underneath were meticulously ironed, giving him a neat and gentlemanly appearance.

She was unusually nonchalant, or more accurately, preoccupied.

When Inoue Teru struck up a conversation with her, she unusually didn't listen attentively, but instead looked around at other corners of the restaurant.

His gaze was focused, as if he were thinking about something.

Although the restaurant is very different from before, there are almost no familiar corners in the renovated place that Kita Kirihara can feel. Scenes from the past still seem to remain in his sight.

The shape of the bloodstains, the beautiful gray eyeballs, and the chopsticks with some flesh still attached after they were pulled out.

She was trying to find the way to access important locations from her own memory, and to outsiders, this thought process appeared as daydreaming.

Inoue Teru realized this wasn't a good time to strike up a conversation, and felt a bit awkward not getting a reply. Fortunately, Aijo Karen chimed in just in time, breaking the awkward silence.

Based on Inoue Teru's observations, she believes that among the members of Class A, Aijo Karen has the best personality.

The other person is cheerful, optimistic, and outgoing, and seems to have endless things to say, rarely leaving one in a tense silence.

For example, right now, Karen Aijo is excitedly tugging at Teru Inoue and asking curiously, "Hey, hey, Inoue-kun, can I call you Teru-chan?"

A simple smile spread across her face, and this happiness seemed contagious, even lifting Inoue Teru's gloomy mood.

Inoue Teru nodded in agreement.

"Are Teru-chan and Yagawa-kun childhood friends?" When Karen Aijo asked this question, for some reason, Teru Inoue felt a little uneasy.

But the look in the other person's eyes was simply one of pure curiosity.

When talking about her childhood friendship with Yagawa Mari, Inoue Teru had a lot of complaints she wanted to hear. She couldn't help but complain, "Yeah, being someone's childhood friend is really tough, especially since my job is to take care of those rich girls. It's exhausting..."

“You’re childhood friends,” Karen Aijo repeated softly, then asked, “You two seem to get along really well. Did Teru-chan enroll because of Yagawa-kun?”

"If that guy hadn't insisted on coming, I wouldn't have come..." Inoue Teru said.

They enroll because they are pursuing the other person.

Moreover, she is petite and has a rather tomboyish personality; she's good at complaining while simultaneously taking care of others...

"One last question!" Karen Aijo asked with a grin, though the smile in her eyes wasn't as strong as it appeared on her face. "Kiru-chan, can you ride a motorcycle?"

She saw that Inoue Teru was wearing a leather jacket and pants similar to those worn by motorcyclists, and thought he would probably...

However, Teru Inoue simply replied, somewhat embarrassed, "I don't know."

"what?"

"My sense of balance is terrible. I've failed my motorcycle driving test so many times... Why are you asking this? Do I look like someone who can ride a motorcycle?" Inoue Teru asked, somewhat puzzled.
