Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"Yes, Yu Lai! If you hadn't played, the women's volleyball team might have been eliminated in the preliminary rounds!"

"So you have to do your best in your makeup exam!" Mr. Ozu's voice was as energetic as ever, giving people a feeling of vitality.

"You must do your best." Ms. Kozu was still very worried. You know, if you can meet such a good teacher during your school years, it is the happiest thing for all the students.

"Oh," Yu Lai replied casually, then changed the subject, saying, "Volleyball is a team sport; everyone can do without me."

"Moka." Ozu didn't agree with her self-deprecating thoughts at all. "It's a good thing to have teammates you can rely on. Although volleyball is indeed a team sport, no one can replace you. This may be a pressure for you, but you have the ability. Everyone recognizes you. You need to be stronger and more confident. Don't give up your position so easily."

"Yes!" Yu Lai finally perked up a little!

After they left, Mr. Ozu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"She's so strong, how can you say she lacks ambition? She just lacks self-confidence."

Such a hardworking and dedicated teacher could never stand idly by while her students went astray. After all, her greatest ideal was to ensure these children had a fulfilling high school experience, and the entire high school years have a profound impact on their lives. Many teenagers haven't yet formed or established their worldview, values, and outlook on life. This is why adolescence has such a significant impact on their lives; it can make or break a person's life.

Ozu always felt that the teacher of this intermittent teenager bore a great responsibility.

"She always cares a lot about the people around her and immediately wants to give up her place to someone else."

Although Usa is somewhat annoying, he still has his merits. He listened to Ms. Ozu's rambling without interrupting her, and said after listening to her.

"Because excessive power would destroy everything around it."

"Oh?" I didn't catch the underlying meaning in Mr. Ozu's words.

It's been said that the strong are always lonely. In a team, if one person's abilities far surpass those of the others, and some, no matter how hard they try, still can't match them, then those who have put in the effort and sweat will begin to doubt their own worth, even feeling regret and remorse for their past contributions. Or, some may develop jealousy towards the capable person. Jealousy can be a driving force, but it can also destroy a person, especially evident in adolescents during puberty.

That's why the saying "too much power will destroy everything around it" came about.

"It's alright, forget I said anything." He didn't want to reveal his true thoughts, and this was just his honest opinion.

Ms. Ozu was indeed somewhat agitated; she genuinely hoped that Tamara could face his own heart honestly.

"Ah! Could it be that she deliberately did poorly on this exam so that she could suspend club activities and thus be unable to participate in the competition?"

“No,” Ozu immediately retorted. She actually hoped the results were fake so as not to interfere with the competition. “The exam results are real.”

"Really."

Yes, that's true.

"That's a problem too." He was quite surprised; he hadn't expected a team leader to do so poorly on the exam.

"Sigh." Ozu's brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

At this moment, Lin Yan and Yu Lai were walking in the corridor. Yu Lai still had a lot to say, so she was not in a hurry to leave.

"You didn't have a makeup exam last time, did you?"

"Because there were only three exams last time! If it's a midterm or final exam, I won't be able to handle it if there are too many subjects." Yu Lai had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. "I was recommended to Qingye based on my physical education grades, so I'm not very good at studying."

Students with athletic talents aren't really anything special. In his original world, there were many students with athletic talents who entered high school based on their athletic achievements. Lin Yan had some understanding of this. The categories of athletic talents included track and field, basketball, volleyball, soccer, table tennis, martial arts, fencing, Go, roller skating, weightlifting, swimming, archery, shooting, and aerobics. As for other sports and arts admission programs...

"Oh. I see. But since it's a sports-based admission, are there no preferential treatments in terms of exams? Like not having to retake the exam or something?"

"No way! Aoba isn't really into club activities. After all, it's a preparatory school for college entrance exams."

"Then why did you choose Aoba? I heard from Kari and Daishin that you have excellent athletic ability. And from the conversation between the teachers just now, I think you must be really talented. Why didn't you go to a top sports school?" Lin Yan was very curious about this. Generally speaking, ordinary schools like this are at a significant disadvantage compared to those sports-focused schools. For a student with athletic talent, choosing a top sports school is the best choice, both for improving her current athletic performance and for her future career planning.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lai walked away in silence for a long time, until even the smile on his face disappeared.

"Sorry for suddenly asking you a bunch of random questions."

"Ah, no! It's okay. Sorry, I was just spacing out! I chose Aoba because Akane told Shin that she wanted to study here."

"Oshin"

"It's Inukai and Asaji."

"Your childhood sweetheart."

"Wow, you're amazing! This is the first time I've spoken to you, yet you know so much about them! You're really strong!" Sometimes Yu Lai really does exaggerate. What's perfectly normal for Lin Yan is quite surprising for a teenager like him, especially the admiration in his eyes, which Lin Yan finds rather endearing.

"I've heard a lot about you from Kario and Oogami! You two are very close, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Yu Lai's face lit up with a bright smile, the gloom from before completely gone, and her tone was very cheerful. "It's all because of Reina that my high school club life was so much fun. I'm so grateful to her!"

"right!"

"By the way, I also have something I want to ask you!"

"Hmm?" Yu Lai lowered his voice and deliberately leaned closer, as if he were whispering something that no one else could hear, "Does Onoya-kun like Oogami?"

"!"

I don't think so!

"Really!?" Yu Lai was indeed a little doubtful. Why would Lin Yan know so much about their affairs? It wasn't something he witnessed firsthand, and they had only spent such a short time together. He probably couldn't know so much.

"Hmm. No." Lin Yan firmly denied Yu Lai's guess. It's best not to let outside forces interfere with such matters. Letting them develop naturally is the best choice. This is the correct and beautiful way to experience youth.

However, even though Lin Yan denied it so definitively, Yu Lai still had a hint of doubt and disbelief in what he said.

"You shouldn't be hanging out with a high school student, right, Anzu?" After parting ways with Tamarai, Lin Yan ran into Himechi Chizuru at the classroom door.

"Hiyo-kun! You're still at school!"

"Lin Yan, you've been called in by the teacher again."

"how do you know."

"I was in the faculty office just now. There were some parts of the test papers that I didn't understand, so I went to ask the teacher."

"Oh yeah, you saw me looking so embarrassed." Lin Yan laughed a little shyly. "I failed a lot of subjects again, and I have to retake them starting next week."

Please accept my condolences.

How have you been lately?

"What does 'how' mean?"

"I saw you having lunch with Kari and Tamaki. That's impressive! You're making more and more friends!" As Chizuru Himeragi said this, her eyes sparkled with a newfound light, her expression no longer cold and indifferent—a stark contrast to her previous demeanor. The observant Lin Yan immediately noticed this change.

"Yes! It's all thanks to you." Chizuru Himeragi was very happy. Although she didn't smile as brightly as she had before, the joy in her eyes was undeniable, and Lin Yan also felt happy.

Lin Yan is someone who is not easily affected by emotions, and now he is becoming more and more like an ordinary person. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Lin Yan doesn't want to worry about these things. Enjoying every moment of the present is the best choice, isn't it?

"Kari-san and Tamara-san, they are both good people, and their relationship is so good that it's enviable..."

Chizuru Himeragi has always been troubled by interpersonal relationships and has hardly made any friends at work. Now, faced with such genuine friendship, she can't help but feel envious.

"Hiyayo-kun?" Lin Yan called out tentatively. Only then did Hiyayo Chizuru come to her senses, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Sorry. I was just lost in thought."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

“I can see that you’ve gotten used to school, and you seem to be having a lot of fun every day.”

"Oh? Really? I work incredibly hard every day! Including those retake exams, I'm constantly taking tests."

"Oh right. That girl with glasses and braids who's always with you..." Chizuru Himera racked her brains trying to remember his name, but her mind was still blank. She remembered Onoya An's face very clearly, but she couldn't recall a single word of his name, or even have a single impression of it.

This is a common problem among people who are not good at handling interpersonal relationships: they are particularly weak at remembering names. They may seem indifferent, but it is not intentional.

This was something that Chizuru Himeragi had also been quite troubled by.

"apricot?"

"It's her, Anzu."

What's wrong with Xing?

"Does Xing like Ahe?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan chuckled; this was truly an interesting matter.

Relationships should ideally be a matter between two people. However, the current situation seems to be that the parties involved are completely unaware of each other's feelings, while those around them have already seen everything clearly. This is what they mean by "not recognizing the true face of Mount Lu, because one is in the mountain itself."

Or, as the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while onlookers see things clearly.

"I think it's impossible! That's hilarious."

"is it?"

Chizuru Himeragi's expression was incredibly adorable, evoking a protective instinct. However, she herself seemed oblivious to this. Lin Yan, on the other hand, understood perfectly well that Reina Kariyuu was a girl who possessed all of this. She envied Chizuru Himeragi academically and Tamarai in sports, but both Chizuru and Tamarai were deeply in love with Reina Kariyuu.

"What's so funny?"

"Sorry, sorry. It's nothing. Hida-kun, are you going home?"

"Yes."

“I’m going home too. Shall we go to the station together?” Chizuru Himeragi said after a moment of silence, glancing at Lin Yan and hesitating slightly.

"Okay, I'd be happy to."

"Haha! An izakaya?"

"Okay, I'd love to!"

Why are you partying with me?

"I think this might be what they call 'dropping the joke'." Chizuru Himeragi was thinking and answering very seriously at this moment. Lin Yan actually liked serious and cautious girls. Such girls maintained a serious attitude in terms of family, friendship, love, and even strangers.

"Please don't suddenly act all serious and pretend to be stupid."

"sorry."

Meanwhile, the training session at the gymnasium ended, and Ms. Ozu, as the club's instructor, clapped her hands and shouted to the team members, "Assemble!" Although Ms. Ozu was not cunning or deep-thinking, she was a thoughtful and gentle person. She keenly noticed that the team members seemed to be slacking off, and at this moment, she should encourage them to boost their morale.

"As you all know, there are matches on June 15th and 16th. These are the retirement matches for the third-year students. There are only three weeks left to play volleyball with this team. Please don't let yourselves have any regrets!"

"Yes! Thank you, teacher!" The sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boys were full of youthful vigor, so energetic that they were as dazzling as the rising sun.

Youth is like a symphony, playing out the splendor of life; youth is like a script, performing a colorful life; youth is like life itself, making us thrive.

"Okay, dismissed."

"Thank you, teacher."

Everyone dispersed, but Kario was still dripping with sweat. He wiped his sweat as a junior ran over with a smile on his face, "Kario-senpai!"

"Don't we need to haul in the nets today either?"

“Yes, I’ll need it, so you don’t need to accept it,” she replied, then turned to Tamara. “Moka, are you going to stay and practice?”

"Hmm, not this week. I need to go home and study."

"That's true. If you'd like, I can teach you."

"No need, it's okay. You're so strict, and you're too smart, I can't understand what you're saying."

"right."

"Ah! By the way, Rena." Kari waved to Tamara and whispered in her ear, "I heard that Onoya-kun doesn't like Oogami-kun!"

"ah!?".

"Hehe! I asked Lin Yan. He was also called out for a make-up exam, and I hung out with him after class."

Why did you ask that idiot?! I didn't even really want to know!

"Yes!"

"You mean, what's more concerning than my situation is the Japanese proxy service!"
