I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

And maybe he chose to enter this school in order to see Tianyin, and eventually became partners with the person he admired.

Judging from both logic and Tianze Yixia's various behaviors, the credibility is at least 99%.

Seeing Tianze Yixia covering her already flushed cheeks while secretly glancing at her with a look of worry about being scolded, Tianyin gently patted Tianze's shoulder.

"It's alright not to be so careful. I already said I'm not a difficult person to get along with. I just asked casually because I found it strange. I didn't suspect your motives or anything else. If you feel uncomfortable, please allow me to apologize."

"N-It's alright, it was just a misunderstanding... I was too impulsive. And please, Miyako-senpai, don't do this. It would make me feel uneasy if you apologized to me."

Tianze waved his hands repeatedly, looking terrified.

"Shall we go in then?"

"Yes!!"

Tianze's joyful expression returned, and he grabbed Tianyin's arm, and the two of them entered the palette.

Although it was a day off, the shop wasn't too crowded because Tianyin and Tianze had arranged to meet at the time when the sun was at its strongest.

Palette is undoubtedly a perfect place for young men and women to sit down, enjoy coffee and desserts, and foster their relationship while having afternoon tea. However, the only drawback is that there is no air conditioning. Having afternoon tea in air conditioning is a bit of a mood killer, so the owner of Palette never considered installing air conditioning from the beginning.

So even though the color palette is the best choice for people going out, they still tend to go to the Beech Tree Shopping Center, which has central air conditioning, to escape the hot temperature.

This allowed Tianyin and Tianze to snag the best seats near the window, seats that would normally be impossible to get without someone reserving them in advance.

"What would you like to drink, Miyako-senpai?"

"I also can."

As soon as Tianze sat down, he began to look at the menu with great interest, as if it were his first time visiting such a place.

However... to dare to arrange a meeting with her here when he had never been here before, I have to say Tianze is quite brave.

"Tianze, have you never been here before?"

Tianyin's question caused Tianze's cheeks, which had only recently recovered, to flush slightly again.

"Yes, this is my first time in a place like this. I've heard from my classmates that the desserts here are really good, which makes me want to try it out. However... the atmosphere here doesn't really allow for coming alone, so I'll have to take advantage of the opportunity to meet Miyako-senpai here and experience it for myself."

Tianyin nodded. The atmosphere of the Palette would subconsciously deter students who came alone, because it was unlikely that someone who simply wanted to buy a drink to quench their thirst would make a special trip to the Palette.

Most of the people who come here are couples or friends from the same social circle.

If you come here alone, you'll be treated like an oddball. Most importantly, the color palette is usually packed. It's fine if you come with friends, but if you come alone, you're likely to have to share a seat.

Imagine an introverted person with no friends or social circle going out for coffee and dessert, only to be seated with a stranger. Just being stared at by that person can make you feel uncomfortable, not to mention the worst part is if that person tries to strike up a conversation with you. If you happen to be a social butterfly, they might even start a conversation with you about topics you don't understand at all.

For people who are not good at socializing, this situation is absolutely, truly disastrous.

So there's nothing wrong with what Tianze said; it's a perfectly normal phenomenon.

As drinks and desserts were placed on the table, the two had more and more topics to discuss.

Aside from school-related topics, Tianze was surprisingly knowledgeable about the current situation of first-year students. With the intention of also inquiring about information about first-year students, Tianyin started chatting with Tianze about the topic of first-year students.

Logically speaking, this kind of topic is quite sensitive and important information. After all, if the second-year and first-year students kept to themselves, it wouldn't matter if they talked about things related to their own grades. However, the fact that the school deliberately brought the two grades together from the very beginning suggests that there may be many similar situations in the future where the two sides need to cooperate or even compete.

In this way, each grade should be more cautious in sharing information with the other grade.

But Tianze seemed completely unaware of this, and readily told Tianyin everything she knew about the first year.

The class structure for first and second grade is basically the same. Each class has one boy and one girl elected as class leaders. For example, in first grade A class, Miyako Masahiko and Amasawa Ichika are currently the boy and girl leaders respectively.

The first-year Class B consists of Takuya Yagami and Miyabi Hayasaka, the first-year Class C consists of Riku Utsunomiya and Sakura Tsubaki, and the first-year Class D consists of Kazutomi Takarazumi and Tsubasa Nanase.

Amazingly, as if all the first-year students had a general understanding of the school rules, the class leader was chosen without any conflict.

It's worth noting that Sakayanagi and Katsuragi were sworn enemies back then, and Ichinose was also forced into a challenge with Shibata. Ryuen and Amane, the remaining members, also rose to leadership positions by demonstrating their abilities.

The fact that the class leader was established peacefully in the first grade was something that Tianyin found very unbelievable.

Tianyin vaguely sensed that someone was trying to do something behind her back.

Although none of the first-grade classes were willing to concede to the others, they generally tried to avoid conflicts with each other. Without internal strife, the first-grade students had no worries when facing the second-grade students, and the experienced second-grade students couldn't find any way to attack the first-grade students.

If things continue like this, Tianyin can foresee that if the first and second grades have another joint special exam, and the two sides change from cooperating to competing, then the second grade might actually be the one who suffers the most.

After all, first graders receive some form of special protection during their first semester, whether overt or covert. Unless they make a series of blunders or fail a test, it is quite difficult to injure a first grader or punish them with expulsion.

However, this had little to do with Amane, and Amane had no intention of reminding the other classes. It was only through her efforts that the four second-year classes formed a temporary alliance during this special exam. But whether it was Kanzaki, Ryuen, or Amane and Sakayanagi, they all knew very well that this alliance was only temporary. Once something really involved the interests of the classes, no one would care about any alliance anymore.

Therefore, Amane was happy to see other classes stumble and fall on the first-year students because of a lack of information.

"Miyako-senpai seems quite interested in what we first-year students are doing."

After Tianze gave a detailed account of the general information about the first-year students, Tianyin began to inquire about the situation of some individual students.

This made Tianze realize something was wrong. At first, Tianze didn't take it seriously. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, let alone Tianyin, who can be described as a monster.

Therefore, sacrificing some information is perfectly acceptable, especially since what Tianze told Tianyin was just information that everyone in the first year already knew.

First-year students had been informed of some of the school's 'rules' long before, so they were wary of second-year students from the beginning and unwilling to share any information. As a result, even after nearly a week of contact with the first-year students, the second-year students still knew nothing about the specific situation of the first-year students. In particular, the information that there had been no violent conflicts between the classes and that the class leaders had been confirmed was something that the second-year students could not verify even if they found out.

So Tianze shared real information with Tianyin that second-year students currently lack, but Tianze could clearly sense that Tianyin wasn't very interested in it.

Unaware that Amane was completely indifferent to information about the first-year students, Tenze mistakenly believed that Shohiko had already told Amane about the first-year students. He couldn't help but think to himself that Shohiko, that hopeless sister-complex guy, was even faster than her at betraying information.

Since the information she used as a stepping stone failed to pique Tianyin's interest, Tianze was at a loss for what to do.

Judging from Tianyin's expression, she might only be interested if Tianyin suddenly offered herself to her. But if that happened... putting aside the question of whether she would give herself away for free, even if Tianyin was in heat 24/7, she would still be able to tell that Tianze had a problem.

The most likely outcome would be that he would lose everything, which would be a huge loss. But it seems that... besides this, Tianze doesn't have any other good way to get close to Tianyin. Just as Tianyin was hesitating whether to take a gamble, Tianyin suddenly seemed to have become interested in the first-year students again and started asking about information from certain people.

At first, Tianze was happy to take this opportunity to try to make Tianyin feel good about her or at least make Tianyin lower her guard.

To Tianze's surprise, Tianyin asked about all sorts of information about the first-year girls, and even somehow obtained a ranking list of the best-figured first-year girls, chosen by the first-year boys in private...

'Why am I answering this kind of question...'

Because the OAA only has photos of the chest and above, Tianyin and Tianze talked about this to confirm whether the form in her hand was correct.

This behavior even made Tianze start to doubt whether he really wanted to sacrifice himself to defeat this guy whose mind was full of Naiko.

However, the plan has already begun, and even Tianze has no way out.

"The reason I'm interested in first grade is, of course, because there are many cute girls like you, Tianze."

Hmph, so you've finally revealed your true nature?

Tianze sighed heavily in her heart. She began to feel a little sad for herself, but on the surface, she pretended to be angry and acted coquettishly towards Tianyin.

"Miyako-senpai, stop it! I'm not as cute as you say..."

"Yixia, you're so cute right now! By the way, where should we go next?"

Ichika? Why does this guy call her that so naturally? And... who's the second-year student anyway? Why would he ask her something like, "Where's fun to go?"

Although Tianze was at a loss for words to criticize Tianyin, she had indeed made all the arrangements for the next step.

"If you don't mind, how about we go see a movie?"

Chapter Twenty-Six: I Won't Be Polite

When Tianze suggested watching a movie with Tianyin, Tianyin readily agreed.

The two went to the movie theater in the Beech Tree Shopping Center together. Since it was the only movie theater on campus, there were no other options.

Upon arriving at the cinema, Tianyin volunteered to buy some drinks and food, while Tianze went ahead to queue at the ticket gate, where a long line had already formed, to reserve a spot.

Tianyin's suggestion was exactly what Tianze wanted. She had originally planned to send Tianyin away and then take the opportunity to check the tickets herself. This way, the movie tickets would be impossible to cancel, and even if Tianyin didn't want to go to the movie with her, she couldn't refuse in front of Tianze. It was a move that completely blocked Tianyin's way out.

To achieve this goal, Tianze came up with many excuses along the way and also formulated contingency plans in case of various unexpected factors.

Unfortunately, none of this was of any use. Before Tianze could even speak, Tianyin happily ran to a nearby shop to buy food and drinks, which relieved Tianze a little.

"Miyako-senpai isn't as difficult to deal with as the intelligence reports suggested."

The reason Tianze made this arrangement was that both movie tickets he bought were for horror movies. As long as Tianyin wasn't stupid, she should be able to guess what Tianze wanted to do just by hearing that it was a horror movie. Although Tianze was very confident that her performance had been perfect so far, even if Tianyin suspected that she was deliberately getting close to her with ill intentions, she couldn't produce any evidence.

However, it's best to avoid letting Tianyin notice your 'deliberate' actions in advance. As long as you watch the movie together, Tianze is 90% confident he can win Tianyin over.

In a pitch-black movie theater, coupled with the sight of a cute girl clinging to someone who looked terrifying and scared, how could anyone who was actually normal not be attracted to Tianze?

Even if we take a step back and Tianyin doesn't feel any attraction to Tianze, based on the existing information and Tianze's observations, Tianyin is definitely not a decent person. Given the right opportunity, Tianyin will definitely devour her without hesitation.

Tianze didn't just jump to such a seemingly malicious conclusion. From the palette to the movie theater, Tianze and Tianyin's gaze barely left the snow-white skin that Tianze deliberately exposed. If it were just a glance, Tianze might not have such a bad impression of Tianyin. Because Tianze was dressed very lightly, he could feel even the slightest physical contact.

Along the way, Tianyin "accidentally" made physical contact with her a total of 84 times. Keep in mind that the Palette is only a few hundred meters away from the Beech Tree Shopping Center. It can be said that Tianyin kept taking advantage of her the whole way.

However, they encountered quite a few students along the way. Tianyin was probably worried that being too blatant would attract attention, so she didn't make any big moves. Tianze gritted his teeth and endured it. Anyway, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself, so he let Tianyin have a taste of the sweetness first... For the ultimate goal, he endured it!

Even the extremely patient Tianze couldn't hold back his temper when he took the elevator with Tianyin to the floor where the movie theater was located. Tianyin's shamelessness broke down his defenses.

Then, with a large number of people taking the elevator, Tianyin brazenly touched Tianze's waist and even secretly pinched it lightly...

Wow!! This guy is definitely in heat!! Absolutely!!

She had no idea that in Tianze's eyes she had become a shameless, promiscuous, and 24-hour horny shepherd.

Even though Tianyin's image had become like this in Tianze's eyes, Tianze still had to put on a smiling face and joke with Tianyin.

The thought of being exposed and killed by Tianyin someday in the future filled Tianze with despair, as if the end of the world had already arrived.

But these efforts are nothing compared to the rewards.

Amaze's behavior may be completely incomprehensible to outsiders, but if someone understood what kind of life Amaze had experienced before coming here, they might understand why Amaze was willing to make such a great sacrifice to obtain the reward promised to her by Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

Unlike the genius and favored Amane, Amane never showed any extraordinary talent, which was probably why her father sent her to Ayanokoji Atsuomi to be trained by him.

Compared to the other reason, Tianze Yixia always preferred to believe that she was abandoned by her father because she had no special talents, rather than because she was an illegitimate child.

From a young age, the most important knowledge she was instilled with was how to please men and how to read people's expressions. It is said that the training program was changed because there were huge problems with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's training method. Not only were more socially relevant teaching arrangements added, but the 'knowledge' that men and women learn and can use are also different.

As per her father's instructions, Amaze was trained by Atsuomi Ayanokouji to quickly integrate into the upper class upon entering society. She would then precisely choose a man from a prominent family or with immense wealth, using the knowledge she gained from high-class socialites hired by Atsuomi Ayanokouji at exorbitant prices to win him over, and then offer her body to pave a path for her father to enter the elite class.

Amaze had no choice. Unlike Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Miyako Amane, who had the means to resist, the reason why Amaze was able to have the strength that was no less than most of her peers was because she was a 'talented person' who was prematurely matured by Ayanokoji Atsuomi through training. Just to get to where she is now, she has exhausted all her potential.

No matter how much she struggles in the future, it's highly unlikely she'll be able to improve in any area. In other words, she's simply reached the limit of her abilities ahead of schedule.

However, even though Tianze was already considered very outstanding among her peers, she was still not associated with geniuses, which meant that her value was limited to that. As a qualified product that had been produced, Tianze was about to start looking for her prey.

But it was precisely at this time that Ayanokouji Atsuomi gave them the mission of infiltrating Koyu, causing Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to drop out of school, and creating trouble for Amane.

Not wanting to become someone else's prey right now, Amazawa readily agreed, and Ayanokoji Atsuomi offered his own reward to motivate them.

"Permanent freedom".

However, obtaining the reward was extremely difficult, as the task was divided into two parts. One part was to expel Ayanokouji from school. This task was undoubtedly the easiest in everyone's eyes at the time, since many of the rules at the school had the penalty of expulsion. Even if the plan did not go smoothly, Ayanokouji could be expelled through a special exam. Therefore, many people had their eyes on this cushy job.

However, perhaps because the task itself was relatively simple, Ayanokouji Atsuomi's requirement was that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka be expelled from school in order to complete the task. Only in this way could he obtain true and permanent freedom. If he failed, he would be abandoned by the White House. Since most of the children in the White House were either unclaimed abandoned babies, orphanage children, or illegitimate children of merchants and officials, they would immediately lose all their identities after leaving the White House.

The price of losing one's identity is...

In this country, no one would go to such lengths to examine a corpse with no identification information.

It was precisely because of Ayanokouji Atsuomi's ruthlessness that all the later Shiraya students feared the day they would be abandoned.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as Tianze, whose father still thinks Tianze Yixia has some value, if Tianze is abandoned by Baiwu, he might be taken back by his father. He might not be able to live a life of ease like Baiwu, but at least he could barely make ends meet. As for those dispensable illegitimate children... the big shots would not want to expose these stains to the light of day.

The second task abandoned by these white-house students was to create trouble for Miyako Amane.

While creating trouble might seem easier than getting someone expelled, almost no one was willing to take on the task. This was because Ayanokouji Atsuomi had been promoting his 'success' at the White House while he was dominating the Amane Sports Festival. He even used the videos to persuade influential figures who were still hesitant to send their children there. No one could refuse after seeing how powerful Amane could be.

Since they were originally just pawns, if Ayanokouji Atsuomi were to raise them into someone like Amane, they would be making a huge profit. The price they paid was just some money, which would be more than worth it.

But only Ayanokouji Atsuomi knew that trying to train the students of the White House to become like Amane was a complete pipe dream. Amane was already a genius before entering the White House. In addition, the Miyako family brought in top talents from all over the world to assist Ayanokouji Atsuomi in training Amane in all aspects. It would be strange if Amane did not become a monster who surpasses everyone else.

Ayanokoji Atsuomi still vividly remembers the look on his face when he met the 'instructors' provided to him by the Miyako family.

The vast majority of the instructors were actually well-known prisoners from prisons all over the world, recruited by the Miyako family at great expense, some of whom had even been announced to be executed, and they actually appeared alive and well in front of him.

Moreover, these people were actually disposable; after Ayanokoji Atsuomi announced that Amane had completed her training program, they completely disappeared from the world.

Without the assistance of these people, Ayanokouji Atsuomi was completely helpless when Amane went berserk, and could only pay the price of hundreds of people being seriously injured in order to imprison Amane in that dark and sunless prison.

Therefore, Ayanokouji Atsuomi was merely using Amane as a gimmick to attract investment and support in order to gain political resources. What he really wanted was his son, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Amane was an uncontrollable entity, and Ayanokouji Atsuomi, having lost a large amount of resources, was unable to control Amane and dared not touch the Miyako family's beard.

Therefore, Ayanokouji Atsuomi thought of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka as a backup, planning to train him after he was expelled from school and then replace Amane as the new star of the White House. This is why Ayanokouji Atsuomi sent almost all of the best students of the White House to rack their brains to get Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to drop out of school.

……

Thanks to Atsuomi Ayanokouji's vigorous promotion, Amane's reputation was very well-known within the White House. Almost everyone regarded Amane as their goal. They admired Amane, longed to become Amane, and dreamed that one day they could also break free from the shackles of fate by relying on their powerful strength.

So when Tianze said he admired Tianyin, there was certainly an element of acting involved, but he wasn't actually lying.

This also gave Amane's mission a reputation for being difficult to deal with from the start, and no one was willing to try it even if it was just to cause trouble. Ayanokouji Atsuomi even made a special statement that whether Amane was expelled from school or his reputation was ruined, it would be considered as completing the mission, which made some people waver.

But no one knew that Tianze was almost ecstatic when he saw the mission. If everyone hadn't been listening quietly to the character introduction, Tianze would have laughed out loud.
