People are in the real teaching, but the inner world

This is Katsuragi, the cautious man who focuses on defense.

Chapter 75: Karuizawa's Request for Help

In the end, the students in Class A refused to participate in any discussion as they had said.

The remaining members were also unable to communicate freely.

Because, on the surface, this exam tests thinking, that is, the ability to think, as well as the additional observation ability. Finding loopholes in other people's words from their expressions and conversations to judge whether they are favored is also part of the exam.

Losing the participation of Class A will make the exam even more unpredictable.

So from this perspective, Katsuragi's method is quite clever.

Then, Eito noticed that except for Ibuki, a small group of three people led by Manabe from Class C had been observing Karuizawa who was sitting far away.

Because of the possible changes in the timeline, Eito is not sure whether it will be the same as before, so he can only wait and see.

Later, his conjecture was verified.

Manabe and his men approached Karuizawa and surrounded her:

"Hey, do you know a girl named Lihua in our class? This is her photo."

Manabe showed her the photo on his phone, but Karuizawa didn't even look at it and pushed her hand away:

"You got the wrong person. I don't know this person."

Her tone was a little impatient and her voice was a little loud.

This completely uncooperative and even irritating attitude caused Manabe to frown slightly:

"Please take a look at it. What's your attitude? I just want to confirm one thing."

"What's so good about this? Don't bother me while I'm playing with my phone."

Karuizawa lowered his head and continued to look at his phone.

If it was the normal Karuizawa, he would have loudly reprimanded the other person, but at this moment he revealed a somewhat weak aura.

"Then let me ask you directly, during the summer vacation, did you cut in line and knock down Lihua from our class? If so, you should apologize to her and the matter will be over."

Karuizawa still had a sour face:

"I don't know her, you got the wrong person."

"Hey, it must be you. What's that expression on your face?" said Nanami Yabuna, one of the three.

Manabe nodded:

"How about this, don't leave when this is over, I'll let Lihua confront you on the spot."

"What? Why should I listen to you?"

Even though the words were strong, the timid expression made people feel uncomfortable.

Manabe and the other two also felt something strange.

Meanwhile, Ichinose watched the quarrel and approached Eito, asking:

"Aren't you going to help her?"

In Ichinose's opinion, they are members of the same class, and it is reasonable for him to take care of Karuizawa, the only girl. Moreover, this also involves exams, what if Class C deliberately provoked him?

As a member of another class, Ichinose was in a weak position if he wanted to intervene.

Eido says:

"It's not good for me to interfere in conflicts between girls."

"Really?" Ichinose said with a smile and said nothing more.

Maybe he was considered a cold-blooded person, but Eito didn't care.

The real reason is.

This matter is essentially Karuizawa's problem, a wrong choice made in order to maintain one's own status.

If it happened to Ichinose, she would have apologized long ago, but Karuizawa would not do such a thing as apologizing to others in order to maintain her status.

Something that could have been easily resolved with an apology would become extremely troublesome in Karuizawa.

In Karuizawa's eyes, apologizing is a sign of weakness.

The reason why she is not being tough enough now is that she has no one to rely on here.

She is essentially a parasite who can only rely on the power of others to bully others, but her heart is as fragile as a piece of paper.

Besides, her attitude towards him was so bad, even if he went up to help her now, he would only receive a lot of unpleasant words.

Things like being grateful are difficult to achieve for Karuizawa. All her actions are for herself, and it is difficult for her to care about others.

But what happened next made it impossible for him to stay out of it.

I don't know what they said, but Karuizawa pushed them aside in panic, came to his side, and grabbed his clothes tightly:

"Hey, didn't you say you liked me last time? Hurry up and deal with these people for me."

After he said this, not only Ayanokouji and Yukimura, but also several people in Class B looked at him with a bit strange eyes.

Ichinose even covered his mouth and laughed beautifully.

The news that Karuizawa has a boyfriend is known not only in Class D, but also by many people in other classes. After all, Hirata's handsome looks and personality are well-known throughout the grade, so the news that he has a girlfriend has also attracted much attention.

And he actually confessed to a girl who already had a boyfriend. What kind of minotaur?

But now that he had said it, he was too lazy to find a way to clarify it.

Manabe and the others also came over, glanced at Karuizawa, and when they looked at Eito again, their eyes no longer had the arrogance they had before.

However, Eito noticed that there was a strange light flashing in her eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that this incident is not entirely a coincidence, there must be some other conspiracy.

However, he was not sure whether this conspiracy was aimed at Karuizawa, him, or both of them. It might also be aimed at their Class D.

Manabe said frankly:

"I don't think you want to protect the criminal, Takeda. How about letting Karuizawa apologize and let the matter end?"

"Hmm?" Eito looked at Karuizawa, "How about you apologize?"

"Huh?" Karuizawa said angrily, "I didn't do it, why should I apologize? And even if I did it, doesn't she have eyes? She would be knocked down by someone when she was walking?"

Her attitude changed drastically. Was it because she found a backer or because she felt that he would definitely protect her?

Yingdou couldn't understand what she was thinking at this moment. Even though he was good at analyzing other people's psychology, human hearts were complicated after all, and everyone's thoughts would change due to changes in the environment.

"Hey, you finally admit it, you rotten woman." Manabe pointed at her angrily.

"What are you admitting? I said it was just an assumption." Karuizawa looked at her unceremoniously.

"Well, wait for me."

Manabe glanced at the two of them, then returned to his seat with the others.

And Karuizawa also breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hand, and continued playing with his mobile phone without raising his head.

The only change from before was the position, now sitting next to Eito.

Eito didn't say anything, but Yukimura was a little angry:

"Karuizawa, Takeda helped you just now, and you didn't even say thank you?"

Karuizawa raised his head:

"What does it have to do with you? This is what he should do. Since he said he likes me, it's his duty to protect me."

"This is such an unreasonable woman, Takeda. Can you really accept this? She is using you as a shield."

"Well, I don't care." Yingdou said.

"Okay." Yukimura said nothing more.

On the contrary, Karuizawa looked at him with some complacency, as if mocking his meddling in other people's affairs.

Chapter 76 Communication with Ichinose

That was the end of our first conversation.

After leaving the room, Karuizawa, who was originally with him, left quickly.

Maybe he felt he was no longer useful.

From this perspective, Karuizawa is truly a straightforward person.

And at this time.

"Takeda-kun, can I excuse me for a moment?"

Ichinose, who just walked out of the room, asked him.

Her gentle and lovely face always has a smile on it, which makes people feel no dislike for her and even want to get close to her.

This is the charm of the woman named Ichinose Honami.

"Yeah, sure." He nodded.

The two walked together and unknowingly arrived at the bow of the ship.

Ichinose looked at the horizon in the distance and said:

"To be honest, we haven't spoken much, but I always have a feeling of intimacy."

The last time they communicated was on the small island, when he and Suzune went to inspect Class B's territory together, and they only talked for a few minutes.

"Maybe it's an illusion."

"No, no, I always feel that there is a mysterious feeling about you, and the you I saw on the island is a little different from the you now. Do you have a dual personality?"

"This...is impossible." He had to praise Ichinose. She had her own unique insights in observing people and could see subtle changes that others could not see.

This is natural. If you can't do this, you won't be able to balance the relationships between others.

This made him think more highly of Ichinose.

Although he knew about Ichinose's past, humans are creatures that can only have a deeper feeling when they come into contact with it in person, which cannot be felt just by reading words on paper.

"Oh..." Ichinose stroked his smooth chin, "Then can I assume that Takeda-kun is the kind of person who has a completely different personality in front of people he's close to and in front of people he's not close to?"

“I guess people are like this.”

When facing different people, there will always be different attitudes, and everyone has this.

however.

Eito looked at Ichinose's profile.

This person can face everyone with the same attitude.

He had only seen this kind of equal treatment in Hirata.

However, this was only a rough judgment. He could see that Ichinose would still maintain a corresponding hostile attitude when facing people from other classes.

This is a smart move.

"Well, I have another question." Ichinose suddenly smiled maliciously, "Which girl do you like, Takeda-kun? You were very close to that girl on the island last time, right? Could it be that she is... a playboy?"

"..."

"But I can probably understand why you're so popular." Ichinose rested his head on the railing with his hands and looked at him sideways. "After all, Takeda-kun is good-looking and gentle, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"For example, the interaction with Horikita last time, and today's incident of standing up for Karuizawa. Although you appear to be indifferent on the surface, you actually care about each other silently in your heart, right?"

"This one……"

Hearing Ichinose say this, he suddenly felt shy.

Although Ichinose's understanding was somewhat different from his thoughts, the fact was that he was indeed doing this.

Could it be that he is a tsundere?
