Real teaching, but diary flow

Next to appear at the door was a delicate silver-haired princess who seemed to have come from an incredible land.

First-year Class A, Sakayanagi Arisu.

Chapter 41 You don’t understand

The bell had already rung long ago.

Silence, contemplation, confrontation, mutual accusations—all sorts of atmospheres made time tick away little by little.

As the teacher of this class, Chabashira Sae is not in a hurry to start the class. She doesn't care if the whole class is used for D class to think, as long as they can come up with a real 'conclusion', then it will be a success.

Therefore, even during the brief break between classes, she had no intention of letting her students off the hook, but continued to occupy their break time to explain the 'special exam' they had paid 200,000 for.

But to her surprise, on the third day before the relationship had even been established, during a break between classes when few people would normally interact... visitors from other classes actually showed up there.

"What, aren't you welcoming me?" The silver-haired princess stood smiling at the door of Class D, leaning on her cane.

Behind Sakayanagi Arisu, a cold-faced girl with purple hair stood quietly like a guard.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself." As if suddenly remembering that the people in Class D might not know her, Sakayanagi Arisu first scanned the entire Class D before softly saying, "Class A, Year 1, Sakayanagi Arisu."

Good afternoon, defective products.

"..."

"...Huh?" Horikita Suzune frowned.

“Eh…” Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remained expressionless.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't she an adorable girl?!" It was Ike Kanji who suddenly widened his eyes.

"They're all high school students now, surely no one is unfamiliar with the word 'exam'?" Seeing that no one seemed to directly refuse her entry, Sakayanagi Arisu assumed that Class D had tacitly approved her entry and began to wander around Class D step by step, leaning on her cane.

As she wandered around, she continued to explain what she meant: "Defining the scope, examining qualities, testing the mastery of knowledge, and assessing the level of competence."

"Before the exam, the teacher will answer all your questions about the knowledge, but once you get to the exam, will you still be allowed to ask the teacher questions?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakayanagi Arisu's steps slowly came to a stop.

She stood in front of a girl with dark blue hair and pigtails.

'Wang Meiyu'.

The only Chinese student in the first grade.

She has beautiful eyes and long, dark blue twin ponytails, but she always keeps her head down. Her youthful face reveals a hint of weakness that makes her seem easy to bully.

They are excellent targets for bullying.

However, it seems she has never been bullied.

Is it because you didn't attend junior high school in Japan?

"Hello." Sakayanagi Arisu gently placed her hand on her desk. "Would you like to shake hands?"

"Huh?" Stiffly, Wang Meiyu raised her head.

So, what a lovely person...

But... a handshake?

Why did they approach her?

Although she didn't quite understand, looking at Sakayanagi Arisu's smiling face, Wang Meiyu cautiously reached out and gently shook the other's small hand, which was much softer than her own.

"Is that all?" Wang Meiyu blinked and looked into Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes, then asked softly.

"..." A hint of surprise flashed in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she nodded with a light smile: "That's right, that's fine."

Is it because you don't want to be exposed in class?

Or is he deliberately pretending that I haven't discovered him?

But the moment I walked in, your evasive gaze completely revealed your identity.

Everyone was looking at me, the visitor, but the only one who didn't look at me and instead avoided my gaze was you.

However, it was quite unexpected that the person who wrote nonsense and fabricated rumors about himself in his diary was actually such an easy-to-bully guy in real life.

Is this what they call contrast?

In short, the so-called game of hide-and-seek has come to an end.

It's fairly fun for killing time.

After letting go of Wang Meiyu's hand, Sakayanagi Arisu turned around and walked out of Class D.

Seeing her disappear through the door without hesitation, the students in Class D belatedly realized that a student from Class A had just been there.

"...So what exactly is she here for?"

I don't know who suddenly asked that question.

......

Outside Class D, in the corridor.

Sakayanagi Arisu strolled leisurely back to Class A, leaning on her cane. Behind her, the girl, Kamuro Masumi, couldn't help but approach.

"...What exactly are you here for?" she asked, voicing the question on everyone's mind in Class D.

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly: "Didn't I say from the beginning that I was here to see someone?"

"That girl from earlier? She didn't seem like anything special." Masumi Kamuro asked, puzzled. "I have a feeling you might have the wrong person."

"Besides, there's no need to come all the way to Class D just to shake hands. Couldn't anyone just go and call them over?"

“You don’t understand.” Sakayanagi Arisu gently shook her head.

From the very beginning, the other party said that this was a game of hide-and-seek.

Since it's a game of hide-and-seek, there must be two roles: the hunter who tries to catch the person and the person who hides.

Sakayanagi Arisu never felt that she was someone who needed to hide.

Therefore, she is a hunter.

If she's a hunter, why is she hiding it?

Find your chosen target, then go forward to confirm it and declare your victory.

So Easy.

Although it seems she only shook hands with Wang Meiyu, things cannot be judged by appearances alone.

This is a declaration of victory, a statement that I have seen through the true nature of the other party beneath their submissive facade, and also a threat.

She welcomed Wang Meiyu to continue writing in her diary, as the rambling content could add a bit of fun to her boring life.

However, it is forbidden to fabricate rumors about oneself.

That's the meaning conveyed by the eye contact during a handshake.

“Yes, yes, I don’t understand, you understand best.” Kamuro Masumi shrugged.

......

Class B for the first year.

"...Sakayanagi from Class A went to Class D today."

"It seems... he just shook hands with Wang from Class D?"

"Are you... planning to be friends with her?"

"They've already started making friends with students from other classes, that's amazing!"

During the break, the students chatted amongst themselves. Although I didn't actively listen, their voices kept reaching my ears.

However, the more Asakusa Tetsu listened, the more he felt something was amiss.

Asakusa Tetsu: "...?"

What do you mean, "Sakayanagi Arisu went to Class D to shake hands with Wang Meiyu"?

Chapter 42 Capital, You Win

Last night, after doing some light exercise in the white gym to aid digestion, and then practicing using a voice recorder as a hidden weapon, Asakusa Tetsu fell into a peaceful sleep.

Once he's exhausted his body to its maximum level, he can fall asleep quickly even without doing much else.

With the help of the membership card, the energy obtained from food can be converted into physical fitness, and he can recover to his best mental state after waking up.

No need to stay up all night, nor to rush to use up all the time on your membership card. Just feel the changes in your body little by little and greet each day with full energy.

Ultimately, he's still a high school student.

High school students should act like high school students.

...Anyway, there's not much else to do in this completely enclosed, highly developed environment.

I still couldn't beat Tianze today; once again, I was trampled underfoot by her little feet.

Sooner or later, we'll turn the tables and trample her underfoot.

However, there's no rush.

If he continues to grow at the current pace, Asakusa Tetsu thinks that in less than a year, the two or three months in his membership card will be enough for him to crush Tensawa.

The membership card was surprisingly powerful; even when I was getting beaten up in the white gym, my mind became much clearer.

It's no wonder it's a reward for an S rating.

The room key I got yesterday is nowhere near as good.

After all, there is a full three levels between S and C.

After the usual energy replenishment, Asakusa Tetsu returned to Class B's classroom.

Almost as soon as he entered the classroom, Asakusa Tetsu felt the gazes of his classmates and heard their voices immediately lowered.

The minor squabbles and shoving quickly ended, and then, just before class started, a boy with a slightly ambiguous gender, but who was still vaguely identifiable as male, approached him with a sunny and cheerful smile.

Good morning, Asakusa-kun.

Shibata Hayate, a fair-skinned boy with great potential, seems to be in the soccer club. He has excellent athletic ability and is the type who, although not outwardly muscular, is surprisingly strong underneath.

“I want to be your friend,” he said.

......

Honami Ichinose took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Toru Asakusa, but this was not a reason for them to give up on getting closer to Toru Asakusa.

Even those who haven't experienced it firsthand can imagine how isolated they feel if they didn't integrate into the class group from the very beginning.

It's unlikely that Honami Ichinose's care will stay with him forever, and besides, no one wants Ichinose to stay with Toru Asakusa forever.

—Xiaofanbo belongs to everyone!

so......

I became friends with 'Shibata Hayate'.

I became friends with 'Chihiro Shiranami'.

I exchanged contact information with all my classmates.

Asakusa Tetsu doesn't have much desire to actively socialize, but he's not exactly averse to interacting with others either.

It is said that one cannot hit a smiling face, let alone these classmates who are worried about his social situation and took the initiative to approach him and say they want to be friends with him.

Friends can be surprisingly useful sometimes.

For example, it can be used as a sacrifice when in danger... no, when you're broke, you can shamelessly say, "Aren't we friends?" to morally blackmail others.

...I'm sorry, but it seems like I've gone a bit too far.

In short, there's nothing wrong with building social relationships.

Asakusa Tetsu wasn't worried that becoming friends would lead to various excuses taking up his free time, nor was he worried that he would be morally blackmailed and extorted for money.

Firstly, the students in Class B aren't that bad; if it were Class D, he probably wouldn't dare to do that. Secondly... how can you hold him accountable if he doesn't even have morals?

Thirdly, 'friends' are the best source of information; whether true or false, information can be gleaned from their casual conversations.
