Although she was in Class C, she basically didn't know any of her classmates, whether boys or girls. Even after a week and a half of school, she still didn't have the contact information of other classmates in Class C on her phone.
Don't think that she is a loner who doesn't like to get along with others just because she is usually very quiet and always comes to the library to study alone.
In fact, she still hopes to have a few good friends with whom she can talk about anything.
It's just that she is really not good at communicating with others. She has been immersed in the world of books since she was a child, and she is not interested in the topics among her peers. In the end, she can only come to the library alone to accompany her favorite mystery novels.
She had seen Aragaki Shun sitting in the corner of the library for several days, quietly savoring various books by himself. She mustered up a lot of courage to sit opposite him and greeted him casually.
Fortunately, although Aragaki looks a bit unapproachable, he is actually a very gentle and polite person. At least he is not so overbearing as to control where seats are taken in public places.
The two of them got to know each other through daily greetings and occasional conversations. They can't be said to have a deep friendship, but they can barely be called book friends, right?
Shiina Hiyori was a little nervous about this. For her, who had almost no friends since childhood, it was really difficult to clearly define the dividing line between friends and strangers.
"Yōkaku?" Aragaki Shun was a little surprised that someone would actually call him that. "I'm probably not the type of person who's good at making friends and can easily fit in with a group. It's just that the students in Class B trust me and are willing to follow my instructions."
Shiina Hiyori thought about Aragaki Shun's reputation in the school, and it seemed that it was indeed inappropriate to call him Yangkaku.
After all, making friends in Yangjiao normally relies on affinity. Who would use their strength to suppress all the competitive clubs in a school to make themselves famous?
If you are not good at making friends, do you let others approach you?
It seems to be a way to integrate into the group.
Shiina Hiyori didn't know what to say, so she simply skipped the topic and pointed at the books beside her with some anticipation. "How are those mystery novels I recommended to you, Aragaki? Do you want me to recommend a few more?"
Compared to Shiina Hiwa's special liking for mystery novels, Aragaki Shun's reading preferences can be said to be quite diverse. Whether it is serious medical, philosophical, and biological books, or popular mystery novels, light novels, and even various other knowledge related to astronomy and geography, he accepts them all and reads whatever he wants.
Shiina couldn't figure out the other person's daily reading pattern, but fortunately, it was precisely because of this willingness to accept all offers that whenever she recommended her favorite mystery novels to the boy, he would never show impatience on his face.
If he has other books planned to read, he will just politely say thank you and try again when he has free time.
And after he finishes reading, it will be the book club exchange session that Shiina is most looking forward to.
"I've recently been interested in plant photosynthesis, so I've been researching this area. I haven't found the free time to enjoy mystery novels yet. I'd better wait until I finish reading all the books I have. Then I'll ask you to recommend me a few classic mystery novels."
Aragaki Shun picked up the plant book in his hand and gestured to Shiina, which made the girl sigh at the breadth of his knowledge.
Although it’s a bit regrettable that we can’t discuss our favorite mystery novels for the time being, it’s still a nice experience to just quietly flip through books together in a corner of the library.
Therefore, after the girl and Aragaki Shun made an agreement, they both immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge.
In this quiet and comfortable atmosphere, time passed slowly. Aragaki Shun flipped through the books prepared beside him page by page. It was not until he reached out to the table again and found nothing that he realized that his reading plan for today had been completed.
Aragaki Shun stretched subconsciously and glanced at Shiina Hiyori opposite him.
I saw her turning the pages of the book slowly and lightly, occasionally frowning in thought, and occasionally nodding slightly, as if she was having a silent conversation with the world in the book.
Aragaki Shun couldn't help but think to himself, this kid is really obsessed with mystery novels.
Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, Shiina Hiyori suddenly looked up and looked straight at him with a hint of inquiry: "Aragaki, are you turning the pages of the book much faster today?"
54. Shiina is targeted by a strange female classmate
Shiina Hiyori was curious.
She had discovered before that Aragaki Shun's reading speed was extraordinary, which perfectly demonstrated the true meaning of the phrase "reading ten lines at a glance".
She had previously doubted whether the boy could really store knowledge in his mind by reading with this attitude?
But after communicating, Shiina had to admit that there really are such creatures as geniuses in the world.
Others preview the book many times before class, listen carefully in class, and review the book many times after class but still find it difficult to digest. Some people can just glance at it and firmly engrave it in their minds and master it easily.
In the past few days, she has gradually become accustomed to the boy's way of reading, and thinks it is normal for him to spend two or three hours to memorize the contents of four or five books on the table.
But even if it is exaggerated to this extent, isn't it still the opponent's limit?
Shiina Hiyori looked at the time. There were no fewer books on the other person's desk than usual, but it took Aragaki Shun more than twenty minutes to finish reading them.
Is it that the other person's reading speed has become faster again, or is the above knowledge something that Aragaki Shun has learned before, or is it simply that he is in a good mood that day?
Shiina Hiyori's eyes sparkled. She really envied the ability to quickly master the knowledge in the book.
Aragaki Shun: "..."
Being stared at by those mysterious purple eyes, Aragaki Shun inexplicably felt an attraction, like a whirlpool in the deep sea that was difficult to escape.
The boy's lips twitched slightly. To prevent any negative thoughts from appearing in his eyes, he simply lowered his head and picked up the books he had placed aside. As he turned around to put them back in their place, he casually explained, "Isn't our age a period of rapid growth? It's just that I'm growing a little faster than the average person."
"That's all for today. See you tomorrow, Shiina."
"Okay then, see you tomorrow, Aragaki."
Shiina Hiyori watched Aragaki Shun leave with some regret. She had not completed her reading plan for today, but there was no reason to stop there.
The girl sat back in her seat and gently turned the pages of the book that was already halfway through, trying to immerse herself in the world of the book again.
Only four or five minutes had passed when Shiina began to flip through the book more and more slowly, her brows slightly furrowed, and it was obvious that her attention was somewhat distracted for some reason.
The girl sighed softly. She turned her head slightly and saw that there were few people in the library. There were only tall bookshelves standing there, as if nothing was unusual.
But with the girl's keen perception, she had clearly felt that there were always a few pairs of eyes sweeping over her inadvertently.
Although Shiina was unhappy about this phenomenon, it was not surprising.
Because of her outstanding appearance, she has always been the focus of others' attention since she was a child.
On the contrary, these days, when I was reading in a corner with Shun Aragaki, I unexpectedly didn't feel the occasional gazes coming at me. Maybe it was because his presence on campus far exceeded that of her, a little unknown person whose only eye-catching appearance was his.
This is also one of the reasons why although Shun Aragaki is not interested in discussing mystery novels with her most of the time, the girl still sits silently opposite him.
For Shiina, it would be best if she could make friends with whom she could talk about anything, but if not, just staying quietly in a corner and feeling the beauty of literature without being affected by the noise from the outside world is also a high-level enjoyment.
But after Aragaki Shun left, those vague gazes seemed to reappear, making it difficult for the girl to concentrate on her own world.
Shiina Hiyori took a deep breath and put these unpleasant feelings behind him.
The girl picked up the book and placed it upright on the table, pretending nothing was wrong, but out of the corner of her eyes she tried to catch those who were secretly watching her.
However, after several minutes, Shiina Hiyori still couldn't find the source of her discomfort this time, as if everything before was an illusion.
Those boys who occasionally looked at her with surprise noticed it easily, but their reactions were still within the normal range. The girl, who was aware of her appearance, had long cultivated a calm state of mind and would not be disturbed by the attention of the passers-by while studying.
Shiina sighed softly and continued to flip through the pages, trying to bring her attention back to the words in the book.
At this moment, the inexplicable feeling of discomfort reappeared, and she suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange figure out of the corner of her eye.
She subconsciously turned her head and her eyes fell on the side of a bookshelf not far away.
There stood a girl holding a pile of books. She had long dark blue hair tied into two ponytails, and her eyes contained a hint of complexity that was difficult to interpret.
She was looking up and browsing the books on the bookshelf, seemingly trying to hide her gaze, but Shiina Hiyori still caught her unintentional glance.
Shiina Hiyori was slightly stunned. She had never thought that the person who was secretly watching her was a girl she didn't even know.
The girl seemed to notice Shiina Hiyori's gaze, she turned her head away stiffly, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
The other person's expression changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
Under Shiina Hiyori's puzzled and scrutinizing gaze, the girl's face turned red instantly. She hurriedly covered her face with the book in her hand, then hurriedly grabbed her schoolbag and left towards the exit of the library.
Shiina Hiyori watched the strange female classmate disappear without a trace, and her heart was full of confusion, wondering what this person was doing here.
After thinking for a while, Shiina Hiyori walked to where the other person had just stood and carefully browsed through the books on the bookshelf in front of him.
She picked up one of the books at random, took it out and opened it, and found that it contained some content about plants.
She then checked the other books on the bookshelf, and sure enough, they were all of this kind of knowledge.
The girl's expression suddenly became subtle. In order to verify her guess, she spent some effort and actually collected the books that Aragaki Shun was reading today from this bookshelf.
The good news is that I have not been targeted by any pervert.
Bad news, it seems I have been tagged by one of my book friends’ suitors!
What on earth is going on...
.........
Aragaki Shun naturally had no idea about the disturbances that occurred after he left the library.
After finishing a sumptuous dinner in the cafeteria, he received a call from Director Kanda on his mobile phone, asking him to go to the principal's office, saying that the matter he requested had been completed.
Aragaki Shun realized that the transfer ticket was used as compensation for Kanzaki Ryuji, and now his own compensation has finally arrived.
In other words, is there a chance to meet acquaintances outside of school now?
55. Kagurazaka Ayame from outside the school
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Aurora who disappeared after our second book was finished?"
"You've finally shown some mercy to your editor. Are you willing to send a notice proving he's still alive?"
Shun Aragaki came to the principal's office and politely sent away Principal Gao Yu, who was trying to gain connections with him. He sat on the sofa and waited for about two or three minutes. Then he heard the crisp "tapping" sound of high heels stepping on the floor.
A figure dressed like a strong woman walked in. Her short hair swayed gently with her steps, and there was a sharp look in her black pupils. She moved around the office like a wild beast exploring its territory, and easily captured a certain unscrupulous author on the sofa.
The brisk steps suddenly became heavy. The strong woman walked up to the young man in two or three steps, twisting the corners of her mouth with a forced smile, revealing a teasing smile.
The light novel writer who was a pillar of her work suddenly lost contact after the completion of his current work, which almost scared her to death.
If she couldn't find any information, she would start to wonder if something had happened to the other party, or if he had been poached by a rival library.
Fortunately, she was just scaring herself. It turned out that she had come to such a closed school to attend high school. No wonder it took more than half a month before she had the chance to spread the news.
Thinking of this, Kagurazaka Ayame suddenly realized that this school has only been open for more than a week, right?
The editor's eyes suddenly became resentful.
"Teacher Aurora, you clearly still have more than a week of free time before you enroll in Advanced Training High School."
"Excuse me, could you tell me why you haven't replied to my message for so long? Is it because you have something important to deal with?"
Aragaki Shun smiled but said nothing. He couldn't tell the other party directly that he didn't want to be harassed by the editor and Bunko for the time being, so he simply threw away the phone he used to contact Bunko.
Kagurazaka Ayame - this editor lady he met when he was submitting light novels to other places, usually she was quite attentive to his works, so there was no need to tell such a big truth to tease her.
"...Forget it. We in the library can't do anything about you anyway."
Looking at Aragaki Shun's indifferent look with a headache, the editor sighed and held her forehead, then simply took out a pile of documents from her briefcase and began to resume her vigorous working state.
"Let's get down to business first. I don't have much time left in this school. I heard this office is under surveillance. I'm not sure if talking too much will put you in trouble with the school. Teacher Aurora, please give me the manuscript of your new book directly so we can sign the contract as soon as possible."
"Then I'll trouble you, Editor Acorus."
Aragaki Shun first sent the electronic manuscript that had been saved on his mobile phone, then took the contract, saw that it was still the highest level conditions agreed upon when the book was sent for the second time, and simply signed his name on it.
"This school is a bit special, and the application process is quite complicated, so I just sent most of the content of the new book over. If the editor Chang Pu arranges it properly, there shouldn't be any need to rush for the manuscript within a year or two."
"However, if the library has any activities that require my presence, you can come and discuss it with me. If I have free time, I can apply to the school to go out in the name of the club."
It was naturally impossible for Aragaki Shun to be locked up in this school obediently.
He was not worried about Aragaki's parents and Ayase. After all, given his family's financial situation, it was quite easy for him to meet with him casually in the name of visiting a director or even the chairman of Koukou Cultivation.
He was worried that the influence he had accumulated outside in the past would fade away if he didn't show up in public for three years.
When Shun Aragaki first entered school and began his advanced training, only the two skills of [Fighting] and [Writing] were taken out from the miscellaneous items and fixed on the personal panel.
Among them, [Fighting] is of course for the purpose of enhancing his own self-protection ability, while the skill of [Writing] is the path he chose in order to reasonably enhance his influence in modern society and thus obtain more source power.
After all, he was just thirteen years old at the time and had just entered the first grade of junior high school a few days ago. There were not many paths for him to choose from.
If you choose to climb the technology tree and come up with various high-tech products or medicines that can cure terminal illnesses, it seems that you can easily gain world-renowned influence.
But Aragaki Shun doesn't want to be targeted by the top leaders of various countries without being able to guarantee his own safety.
A little kid who hasn't even finished junior high school can actually come up with something that even top scholars from all over the world haven't figured out. This is too magical no matter how you think about it.
By then, Aragaki Shun had no idea how things would develop. What if he failed to win and ended up losing his freedom or even died young?
As for becoming a singer, actor or other celebrity professions that require daily exposure to the public, it is totally out of character for him.
Aragaki Shun had no intention of making himself uncomfortable.
So after much consideration, he finally chose the path of writing light novels.
In this world, there are many cases of junior high school students becoming nationally famous figures by writing light novels.
Not to mention others, let’s talk about another writer under Kagurazaka Ayame whose pen name is "Chijumura Masaru". His real identity is a kimono JC who just entered the second grade of junior high school.
Not only is he young, he is also the author of the super popular work "Fantasy Demon Sword Den", which has been animated twice. He is a super-selling author with a circulation of over 14 million copies.
