Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

This cat-like scratching sensation can drive you crazy, making you desperately want to uncover the hidden truth.

"By the way, did you guys hear? There's going to be a test this Friday."

Someone said something unintentionally, and the atmosphere in the class immediately changed subtly.

Students like Aki Tomoya and Ryouma, who are indifferent to studying, naturally don't care at all and just do whatever they want.

Meanwhile, the eyes of some diligent students suddenly sharpened.

"Hayato, your eyes are terrifying."

In the middle of the classroom, several students were laughing and talking to the blond boy sitting in his seat.

In such an easily identifiable small group, there is always someone who holds the relationships together, and that person is the blond boy in the middle.

Hayato Hayama is the leading and central figure in the class, the ace of the soccer club, and a candidate for the next club president.

He is widely recognized as the top-tier figure among popular people.

They are very good at creating a lively atmosphere, so there are often many people gathered around them.

He himself is quite aware of this, which is what is meant by being popular.

"Haha, it's okay."

Hayama Hayato chuckled and explained:

"Because I've been studying very hard lately, I want to see how I've fared at this stage."

"Really? I've been saying that very seriously lately."

"I can't believe it!" said Miura Yumiko, who was wearing pink nail polish.

Of course, everyone knows that this guy is just pandering to Hayama.

How could this guy possibly study properly?

Getting into Zongwu High School was all a stroke of luck.

"Luo Zhen, you don't seem to feel anything about the test."

Sakura Kono, sitting behind Luo Zhen, asked curiously.

I've heard that after the test, even students who don't care much about studying will feel a sense of urgency.

But Luo Zhen didn't have that feeling at all.

It was as if he genuinely didn't care about the test at all.

"Ah, actually I'm quite nervous."

It's really a bit much to ask Luo Zhen to be nervous about this kind of test.

Having gone through countless practice problems, I'm practically immune to exams now.

Not to mention such an insignificant little test.

"really?"

Kono Sakura practically had my disbelief written all over her face.

After all, Luo Zhen seems rather perfunctory these days.

"Seriously, I was so nervous I couldn't eat."

I saw you eating snacks just before the morning meeting started.

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

While casually responding to Kono Sakura, Luo Zhen's thoughts had already flown back to the research institute's base.

When I was at the research institute, I always wanted to leave work early and go home; when I was at school, I always thought about things at the research institute.

They even often have the idea of ​​going directly to the research institute instead of coming to school.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Chapter 42 That Man

The day's classes ended quickly, and the rest of the time was for club activities.

Of course, some people choose to go straight home after school or go to a tutoring class.

In order to get into a good university, tutoring classes seem to be indispensable.

Luo Zhen neither confirmed nor denied this.

There are quite a few people who get good grades without attending tutoring classes.

There are also people whose grades don't improve even after attending tutoring classes.

Many people go to tutoring classes not to study at all, but just to have fun in a different place.

Expand your social circle and discuss games and cake shops with other people.

I want to do everything except study.

"Speaking of tutoring classes."

Luo Zhen suddenly thought of a certain school.

Star Ocean Academy is a school that specifically houses and protects people with superpowers.

All the students inside are children who gained superpowers under the influence of a certain comet.

Their superpowers are not permanent; they usually disappear after puberty.

When the organization was establishing this school, some people suggested that these students could also be used as combat troops.

However, this was met with strong opposition from parliament.

The reason is: if even children have to fight against containment objects, then what is the point of the existence of adults?

That's roughly it.

After that meeting, no one made a similar proposal again.

Because such a proposal would certainly be rejected.

We've gone a bit off-topic.

Recently, Hoshino Umi Academy applied for a large amount of funding from the authorities in order to enhance its teaching resources.

This is actually understandable.

Although the children in the academy have their memories erased after their superpowers disappear, and then they are sent out of the academy.

But even after leaving the academy, they still need to continue their studies and strive for their own lives.

If Hoshino Umi Academy cannot provide sufficient teaching staff, it would undoubtedly be an irresponsible act towards these children.

This application has caused great distress to the finance department at the Japanese branch.

They are really short of funds right now.

After ensuring sufficient resources and research funding for combat troops, they didn't have much funding left.

This requirement really troubled them.

The Japanese branch is notoriously short of funds.

However, they cannot ignore the other party's application, since the application is reasonable.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Shrugging, Luo Zhen indicated that he didn't care.

Although he is based in Japan, his staff files are kept in mainland China.

It's not difficult to switch it back.

The procedures may take some time.

"Luo Zhen, do you know anyone who's interested in anime and manga?"

Aki Tomoya, with a pained expression, asked Rojin what was wrong.

According to his original plan, he did not intend to allow 'unrelated personnel' into his gang.

But now he has no choice.

If he can't recruit members in time, then his club will be doomed!

In short, let's get everyone together first.

Once the inspection is over, we can just ask them to cancel it.

Aki Tomoya thought to himself with a smug smile.

At that time, the club will still be a pure land in his heart.

"Sorry, no."

Regarding Aki Tomoya's question, Rojin could only apologize.

He genuinely doesn't know anyone who's interested in anime and manga.

Joseph might be one; he really enjoys reading comics.

But Joseph had no idea he could possibly join his gang.

So Luo Zhen answered very simply, no.

"Really? Sorry to bother you."

Upon hearing Luo Zhen's words, Aki Tomo couldn't help but sigh.

Although I was mentally prepared, I'm still a little disappointed.

We need to think of a solution quickly.

Currently, Aki Tomoya's club only has two members.

One is himself, and the other is Eriri Sawamura.

Furthermore, Eriri Sawamura is the ace of the art club; she's just nominally in Aki Tomoya's club.

The art club wouldn't let its star student run off to other clubs all day long.

Some might say, "Then I can just quit the company, right?"

But the problem is that Eriri Sawamura really can't do that.

She genuinely doesn't want to be labeled as a 'homebody'.

She usually tries to avoid related things, and she wouldn't have joined any galgame club if Aki Tomoya hadn't kept asking her.

Why can't you just quietly draw in the art department?

If Aki Tomoya were to leave the art club because of her club affiliation, who knows what those jealous people would say about her behind her back.

"In some ways, he's quite remarkable."

Watching Aki Tomoya's departing figure, Rojin couldn't help but sigh.

Putting everything else aside, just look at this enthusiasm.

Luo Zhen had never seen many students more enthusiastic than Aki Tomoya.

"Yes, Aki really loves games."

Sakamoto nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't like Aki Tomoya's high-profile 'missionary' approach, he had to admit that Aki Tomoya was persistent in this regard.

If perseverance is the most basic element of success, then Tomoya Aki already possesses it.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Ryoujin and Sakamoto thought Aki Tomo could also succeed.

On the contrary, none of them thought that Aki Tomo could succeed.

He charged forward simply out of sheer passion.

One day he'll get his head bruised and battered.

If success were guaranteed simply by persisting, there would be no one who fails in the world.
