Even the excellent father in the mother's words would degenerate into an incompetent and decadent man overnight after being "stolen of his name" by the family.

Is she any better now than her parents were back then?

——If she didn't think too much about it, she might still foolishly be that sunny and cheerful young lady.

At most, the parents’ names on the household registration have been changed?

As long as she could forget about her father, who was no longer Toyokawa, everything would go on as usual. Whether it was her usual life, the band CRYCHIC, or anything else - because her talent still had that value.

But how could she not think about it?

Why didn't she feel her limbs go cold after thinking about it?

...Fortunately, all this is coming to an end.

Even if it was just a coincidence, she had to seize this brief opportunity.

"call."

Today, Toyokawa Shoko was lucky; her "friends" didn't come up to her and waste her extra energy. Before the bell rang, she was able to take out her phone and take a look.

If Ye Mu hadn't sent any new messages since that day, she would have felt somewhat relieved.

Although she rejected Mu's request in a very strong tone on LINE, if this childhood friend broke the tacit understanding between them and came directly to the class to find her, she would not have the confidence to maintain the cold attitude she had in front of everyone in CRYCHIC.

Looking back on the past, I only owe Ruoye Mu, and I have no right to blame her for anything...

What's more, she doesn't want her, who is "just" a second-generation star, to be too involved in Fengchuan's world.

"..."

The girl shook her head slightly.

Never mind. Just use this time to relax before finals.

About one minute before the bell rang, the head teacher of a certain age walked into the classroom leisurely.

"I have some news to inform you today."

There is less than half a month left in the semester and it will be over. Is there any news?

Toyokawa Shoko was a little confused, but her superficial curiosity still prevented her from moving her eyes away from the textbook on the table: for Toyokawa Shoko, who was leaving school in two weeks, as long as the news did not affect her final exam results, it had nothing to do with her.

"We have a new student teacher joining our class. Teacher Bao Deng, could you please say hello to the students?"

...Baoden?

Shoko Toyokawa's brain paused for a moment.

Before she could even begin to think, a voice as clear as spring water rose above the noisy classroom:

"Hello everyone. I'm Bao Deng, our new trainee teacher. Bao Deng Zhe Li. That's how the Chinese characters are written."

“————…….”

what?

The girl suddenly looked up and widened her eyes at the tall man on the podium.

She didn't hear wrong, nor did she see wrong.

Now, this young man who claims to be a trainee teacher—no. Even the senior homeroom teacher in my class introduced him that way, so he's probably not just claiming to be one—isn't he the manager of Café Nascita, Houden Oreki?!

"I am doing my tutor internship in your class today. Please give me your guidance."

The man smiled and bowed slightly to the junior high school girls at the podium. His eyes never lingered on Toyokawa Shoko, as if he didn't know the girl at all.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Bao Deng, because this happened suddenly, I have to ask you to sit in the last row for the time being."

"No problem, no problem. It's my fault for interrupting your class. Thank you so much for arranging this."

"Where, where..."

The young man exchanged a few polite words with the middle-aged woman, then walked towards the empty seat in the last row of the classroom with his folder in his arms, chest held high.

Even though Toyokawa Shoko was having trouble controlling her gaze, just like her classmates, because what was happening before her eyes was beyond her imagination, the young man still didn't look at her in particular, and of course he didn't look at anyone else.

It was like a real trainee teacher coming to the class for his teaching internship on the first day, so nervous that just trying to keep a calm expression seemed to exhaust him.

But Toyokawa Shoko didn't believe it anyway.

Even without mentioning the unclear relationship between Bao Dengzeli and Nagasaki Suyo——

How could a trainee teacher come to a "junior high school third grade" class for internship in the "second semester" and "half a month before the final exam"?!

……

Yes, Baodeng Zheli didn’t believe it either.

Holding the hastily prepared materials, Zhe Li sat down at the reserved desk. He recalled the look on Toyokawa Shoko's face that he had seen from the corner of his eye a few seconds ago, a mixture of surprise and a grumble that he wanted to rant about but couldn't because of the atmosphere.

Yeah! It’s so delicious!

He made no attempt to hide the smile on his face.

……

I understand that you can’t talk to your friends about family problems.

I understand that the brat wants to act like a lone hero and look cool.

What I don’t understand is, if Ruoye was just delivering a message to a friend, why did you say that to him?

No matter what the reason behind it——

The man supported his cheek, squinted his eyes, and vaguely looked at the uneasy figure in front of him.

As adults, it's time to punish naughty children a little.

Lost Star Chapter 103 Summer Record: Chapter : Accidentally Entering the Demonic Realm

"So, we use this formula here... and the answer comes out."

Tap, tap, the chalk made a light tapping sound on the blackboard.

The young man stopped at the last symbol, turned around with a smile and cast an earnest look at the audience.

"Is there any student who can come up and answer this question?"

"..."

The students all turned their eyes in a certain direction.

At the intersection of many gazes, Shoko Toyokawa closed her eyes, sighed silently, and then raised her hand.

"Hey, Toyokawa-san? Um, are there any other students willing to come up and answer the questions?"

The student teacher on the stage gave a fake smile and glanced perfunctorily around the class. Everyone else remained silent, in tacit agreement.

"Okay. Then please ask Toyokawa-san to come up and answer the questions for everyone."

Toyokawa Shoko stood up with a cold face, walked onto the stage silently, glanced at Baodeng Zheli's faint smile, then picked up the chalk and started writing the equation on the blackboard.

To be honest, although Baodeng Zheli's arrival was rather abrupt and the timing was so suspicious that people couldn't help but suspect that he had obtained the qualification for teaching internship through backdoor channels, when he stood on the stage and started teaching, he really looked very capable.

Especially since Toyokawa Shoko, already a top student, had already mastered all the junior high school material in preparation for her transfer and entrance exams: from her perspective, Zheli's teaching material was not only flawless but also quite easy to understand. Perhaps this was the reason he was able to convince the school to let him teach right away?

But whether you teach well or not is one thing—

"Excuse me, can this student explain it to us?"

"Ok."

……

"Yes, Toyokawa-san, right? Could you answer this question for everyone?"

"Good, good."

……

"Today is July 7th. Well, then please ask Toyokawa-san to stand up and answer."

"?"

……

Starting in the morning and all the way to the afternoon.

From initially taking over the class for only ten minutes before the end of the get out of class to now having the full scope of math class time, the young teacher named Bao Deng never tires of calling on Toyokawa Shoko to stand. His words and actions clearly reveal his targeting of Toyokawa Shoko, to the point that his classmates can already guess when he will call on him.

After all, Toyokawa Shoko was gentle, and didn't want the other party to waste time finding excuses to make her stand up. This time she simply raised her hand and went on stage. As a result, this evil guy deliberately performed a drama, as if he thought her blood pressure was not high enough!

"……above."

While she was distracted, the girl's profound three-stage learning power still drove her arms to write beautiful words on the blackboard.

Not only the idea of solving the problem, but even the force applied by the fingers is perfect.

She put the still intact piece of chalk back into the chalk slot and glanced at Baodeng Zheli again, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Toyokawa Shoko wasn't stupid; she knew why the store manager had come. It was just that the class was crowded, and having already concealed her condition, she didn't want to let her final days at Tsuki no Mori fall by the wayside. The few times she'd been called up to the stage before, she'd still had the energy to express her displeasure with her eyes, but now? She felt a little numb.

The young intern teacher, like the previous times, kept a proper distance from her, acting very well as a stranger who had just arrived, and was only concentrating on the perfect blackboard writing she had just written.

He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Fengchuan, there's a mistake here."

"Eh?" The girl quickly turned her head and saw that there was indeed a typo in a symbol that caused the subsequent deduction to be wrong.

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up her eraser and chalk and made some corrections. She quickly reviewed her thoughts in her mind, confirming they were correct before putting the chalk down and looking at Baodeng Zheli. He only made eye contact for a moment before seriously examining the blackboard for a few seconds and nodding with a smile.

"Exactly. As expected of Toyokawa-san. Please take a seat."

"…Thank you for your trouble."

Shoko Toyokawa began to doubt whether this man was really just here to be a teacher.

"Ding, dong, dang..."

The school bell rang throughout the campus.

The girl blinked, and suddenly had the illusion as if she had woken up from a dream.

As a well-known good student in the class, she certainly wouldn't try to catch up on sleep during class, let alone feel drowsy. However, in a sense, the school bell was indeed a signal for her to wake up from a "nightmare".

Toyokawa Shoko raised her head, almost unable to contain her inner excitement.

The tall young man had just written a stroke on the blackboard when he heard the bell. He paused, put down his chalk, and turned to the little girls in the audience with a peaceful smile.

"Well, that's all for today. Thank you all for your cooperation. get out of class dismissed."

With a clatter, some people were stretching their muscles or packing up their textbooks and stationery. For a moment, the noisy sound in the classroom even drowned out the words that Baodeng Zheli still lingered in the air.

He didn't care, just smiled and shrugged, turned around and picked up the eraser to wipe off the unfinished blackboard writing.

Amid the girls' conversation, the figure that seemed so dazzling in the coffee shop now seemed a little vague.

The Moon Forest, or rather, the world "they" inhabit, is inherently like this. Even the child of a nouveau riche like Nagasaki Suyo had to learn "their" ways during her three years in the Moon Forest, suggesting that this world is not as gentle as it appears.

Of course, this does not mean that "their" world is filled with malice.

only……

How can a stranger who has never proven his own worth and has suddenly entered this world easily gain "their" recognition and goodwill within a day?

The answer must be no.

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa clenched her fists, and a few frosts appeared in her eyes.

Obviously, I'm just a junior high school student.

Obviously, in the eyes of outsiders, these people are just immature children, but each of them has become a machine for enforcing "rules" - "their" alienation from strangers has nothing to do with good and evil or aesthetics, it's just "this is what my family does" and "my family told me to do this."

Toyokawa Shoko could understand this, because their identities themselves were valuable, and it was necessary to be on guard against outsiders.

However, Baodeng Zheli's deliberate naming of her was even subconsciously used by "them" as a tool to test strangers: they were calling her sister and showing intimacy one moment, and then they would use her as a tool without hesitation the next.

That's not evil.

Because if they themselves become "tools", others will treat them the same way.

This is just the "rule" of this world.
