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

"I'll listen to you, but does Ayanokouji have nothing to say? He's just getting scolded right now, which is really pathetic. But since he did this, there's nothing he can do about being scolded."

Horikita placed a carton of milk in front of Amane, then glanced at Ayanokouji, who seemed to have lost his temper, and felt somewhat bored.

It's really unbelievable that things have escalated to this point because of relationship issues...

Horikita suddenly remembered the day she ran outside and cried secretly because she didn't dare to respond to Amane's confession.

seemingly……

Many people are quite vulnerable when it comes to relationships.

On the other side, Ayanokouji was pondering the same question as Amane.

Sato started the argument, then retreated to the background. This strange behavior puzzled Ayanokouji. In order to test Sato's true attitude, he had to come up with a way to get Sato to participate in the discussion.

"Then let me ask you, Shinohara-kun: If you like a boy, and after dating him for a while you realize that you're not compatible and he breaks up with you, but you still keep pestering him, what do you think this behavior is?"

Ayanokouji asked Shinohara a question, but her gaze was fixed on Sato, who had been standing by with his arms crossed, watching the argument with a cold eye since the beginning.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not that stupid. We broke up, so why are you taking it so seriously? I'm not a simp... Um! I wasn't talking about Maya... Damn it! Ayanokouji, you actually tried to set me up at a time like this, didn't you?"

As soon as Shinohara spoke, she realized that Ayanokouji wanted to use her to talk about Sato. Unfortunately, she fell right into Ayanokouji's trap, which made Shinohara's face turn red with anger.

Although she immediately explained to Sato that she wasn't talking about her, there was no going back once the words were out of her mouth.

Shinohara knew that Sato wasn't a generous person and would definitely think that's what she really thought, so Shinohara could only turn her attention back to Ayanokouji, hoping that Sato would focus her attention on Ayanokouji.

"Are you finally trying to shift the blame onto me? Isn't your so-called breakup just a one-sided notification? I don't remember agreeing to break up with you, which means... if you date that first-year girl now, it's the same as betraying me."

Sato's words made Ayanokouji frown.

"I hate this kind of lingering attachment."

"I also really dislike your fickle behavior."

"If you hate it, wouldn't agreeing to break up solve all the problems? Maya, what are you still clinging to?"

"You even used the word 'entanglement,' huh? You're really something, Qinglong. Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'd publicly agree to break up with you and then let you and that coin pool be together?"

Sato raised his voice, and even those in the class who didn't want to get involved had to turn their attention to him.

Ayanokouji realized that the other party couldn't hear this, otherwise they might not treat Sato well as agreed, so he quickly tried to dissuade Sato.

"I don't mind if you criticize me for the issues we had before, but please don't attack other innocent people."

Upon hearing what Ayanokouji said, Sato's eyes seemed to well up with tears.

"Innocent? She's the third party who ruined my relationship! How is she innocent? Shouldn't I be the innocent one? I never expected you, Kiyotaka, to defend her in front of me, you..."

What are you arguing about?

Sato's roar was interrupted by Katsuragi, who entered through the door, before it could finish.

"This is none of your business, Katsuragi. Go back to your seat."

When Shinohara saw that Katsuragi was about to interfere, he quickly stepped in front of Katsuragi.

"Does their arguing have anything to do with you?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with me, but..."

"What are you yelling about here if it's none of your business? Get out of my way!"

Unlike Amane, who was mindful of everyone's feelings, Katsuragi did not participate in any faction. In addition, he was once the class leader of Class A. Although he was very low-key after coming to the current Class A, his prestige was still far above that of Horikita and others.

Shinohara, who was rebuked by Katsuragi, was somewhat unconvinced and wanted to retort, but after being glared at by Katsuragi, he slunk back to his seat like a deflated balloon, not forgetting to say a polite remark before leaving.

"Pshaw! What's so great about it?"

Katsuragi was too lazy to argue with someone like her. He began to scan the faces of the onlookers one by one, and everyone he saw subconsciously returned to their seats.

The only ones still stuck there are Ayanokoji and Sato.

That's how he found the source of the argument.

However, trouble has arisen. He wants to handle this argument, but the current leader of Class A is Tianyin. If he takes it upon himself to handle it, it would seem like he is overstepping his bounds.

So when he saw Ayanokouji and Sato standing there looking at each other, Katsuragi immediately looked at Amane.

Tenon naturally understood what Katsuragi meant, so she made an OK sign, indicating that Katsuragi could handle it himself.

With Tenon's authorization, Katsuragi felt more confident and began to approach the two.

Sato felt a pang of panic when she saw Katsuragi walking towards her. In fact, Katsuragi's ability to intimidate these students had nothing to do with his experience or strength.

Katsuragi's main strength lies in his imposing appearance. Although he is tall and muscular, and for some reason not good at sports despite his excellent physical abilities, his looks are in no way inferior to Albert's. He is a true behemoth.

Apart from a few girls like Amane, the other girls in the class were generally much shorter. Compared to the tall Katsuragi, they looked like little children and were intimidating. In addition, Katsuragi had been bald as a child due to hair loss syndrome and had once suffered from low self-esteem.

But after getting used to it, it didn't seem like much. Coupled with his tall stature, he was even more intimidating. Having never been in a fight, he became someone that those thugs dared not easily provoke. In addition, Katsuragi was naturally not fond of smiling and always had a serious face and a businesslike demeanor. The combination of these three factors made Katsuragi the Katsuragi who was now standing in front of Sato.

A tall, burly, bald man with a dignified expression was looking down at Sato.

"This is a private matter, we don't need your help, Katsuragi-kun..."

"Private matters should be discussed in private. This is a classroom! Not a place for you to run wild. It's none of my business if you go off to fight or yell at each other after class or after school, but this is a classroom, a place for learning. You'd better be quiet. Not disturbing other people's studies is the most basic courtesy!"

Katsuragi's resounding words made Ayanokouji decide to give up on testing Sato at this moment. Ayanokouji judged that Katsuragi's approach was correct. At this moment, someone was likely watching this farce through the classroom's security camera. If things escalated, the class would lose points and face the risk of being demoted. Therefore, Ayanokouji chose to give up this opportunity.

Furthermore, Ayanokouji also obtained some useful information from the brief exchange: Sato is currently extremely emotional and may not have considered the consequences at all.

This makes it unlikely that he has any hidden cards; it's more likely that he's just venting his frustrations on him.

Seeing that Ayanokouji had turned and left after being reprimanded by Katsuragi, Sato could no longer suppress her resentment and anger, but she couldn't chase after Ayanokouji to his seat to question him about why he listened to Katsuragi so much.

Because Ayanokouji was sitting right behind Amane, if Amane became dissatisfied... Sato had seen too many people driven to the brink of collapse by Amane's power, and she didn't want to become like that. With the last shred of rationality remaining, Sato looked at Katsuragi in front of her.

"What right do you, a guy from another class, have to interfere in our affairs?"

As soon as Sato spoke, Ichinose, who was standing next to Amane, was also affected.

Seeing that Ichinose's mood had clearly dropped, Amane could no longer sit idly by.

boom! !

A heavy object slammed onto the table, producing an astonishingly loud bang.

"Tianyin, your hand..."

"It's nothing."

"But they're bleeding..."

Wang Meiyu was initially startled by Tianyin's words, but when she saw that Tianyin's finger was bleeding, she immediately panicked and frantically pulled out a band-aid from her bag.

However, there was only one bandage, and it was impossible to cover all of her fingers, which made Wang Meiyu very anxious.

Although she really wanted to comfort Wang Meiyu and tell her not to be so nervous, Tianyin knew very well that she couldn't let her guard down right now.

Sato was about to give Katsuragi a good scolding for causing trouble, but he was drawn to the sound of Amane slamming her fist on the table.

When her gaze fell on Tenon's desk, Sato's eyes widened to their limit in an instant.

Tianyin's punch shattered a 5cm thick wooden board and also created an exaggerated dent in the steel plate under the desk.

Sato was utterly shocked and astonished to see the deep crater left by the punch that had almost pierced through the wooden board and iron plate on the desk.

Is it really possible for humans to do this?

"Sato, you haven't forgotten that Ichinose and Katsuragi were people I found, have you?"

"N-nothing..."

"What did you mean by that? Are you dissatisfied with my decision? Answer me!"

"I'm so sorry!! I misspoke just now, please forgive me, Tenko-kun!"

Shouldn't you apologize to me?

A single rhetorical question seemed to cause the temperature in the entire classroom to plummet, except for Koenji, who still maintained a carefree, grinning expression.

Even Horikita and Ichinose felt a chill run down their spines.

Sato, whose anger was completely extinguished by Tenon's gaze, became fully sober at this moment and quickly turned around and bowed to Katsuragi.

"I'm sorry, Katsuragi-san. I was too emotional just now and said something I shouldn't have. I hope you can forgive me."

"I'm fine with it, but I hope you can consider the interests of the group. If you keep making a scene like this, we'll only lose class points and everyone will fall back to Class B. At that point, no matter how much you apologize, you won't be able to get anyone in Class A to forgive you. Think it through."

After finishing his sentence, Katsuragi walked around Sato and sat down, leaving Sato standing there awkwardly with his back bent.

As the bell rang for morning self-study, Chabashira walked into the classroom with his lesson plan as usual.

As soon as Chazhu entered, he was taken aback by the eerily quiet atmosphere in the classroom.

Especially Sato, who was still bowing in apology, looked...

Chazhu immediately looked in Tianyin's direction. When she saw several girls silently wiping the bloodstains on the back of Tianyin's hand with tissues, and Tianyin's desk was almost completely destroyed, she roughly understood what had happened.

However, we still have to go through the motions.

"Can anyone tell me what happened here?"

"Hahaha, Chabashira-sensei, you're a step too late! Just now, Amane-chan really showed her power and immediately shut down Sato-chan, who was making a ruckus in the class. Her imposing appearance was truly admirable. No wonder she's the woman who even I have to obey!"

Koenji laughed heartily, oblivious to everything else.

Chashu could pretty much guess that Sato and Ayanokouji must have had another fight, which led to this situation.

Honestly, can't Tianyin use a gentler approach?

"Alright, Sato, you can go back to your seat now."

After Ms. Chabashira finished speaking, she picked up the chalk, intending to write something on the blackboard, but as soon as she turned around, she realized that something was not quite right.

When she turned around, Sato was still bowing and didn't dare to move. She herself was crying so hard that her face was covered in tears, whether from fear or shame, but she bit her lip tightly, not daring to make any sobs, for fear of making Amane angry again.

"Miyako Tenon".

Teacher Chashu glanced at Amane.

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Chabashira said? Go back to your seat and start your morning self-study."

"..."

Upon receiving the order, Sato staggered and nearly fell to the ground. The prolonged bending over had made her dizzy, but Shinohara, sitting in the front row, didn't dare to help her and could only watch as Sato slowly returned to her seat.

The morning classes were quite depressing. On one hand, they really wanted to discuss the matter between Sato and Ayanokouji, but Amane, who was constantly radiating a low-pressure aura, made them afraid to discuss it at all. They could only breathe a sigh of relief when they went to the bathroom.

This oppressive environment made everyone feel like each day was an eternity, so they rushed to leave the classroom after school at noon.

In the past, at least a quarter of the students would stay in the classroom to eat lunch. However, Tianyin did not plan to go to the cafeteria today. As soon as they saw that Tianyin was going to eat in the classroom, everyone tacitly chose to go back to the dormitory to rest at noon. Even if they had to rush here in the afternoon, they did not want to stay in the classroom any longer.

"Look at you, you always hurt yourself, it really worries me."

Horikita carefully removed the bandage to check Amane's injury. During the break before get out of class, Horikita went to buy disinfectant wipes and some necessary medicines. Fortunately, Amane felt no pain at all, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to attend class today.

"Hehe, I had no choice. If Sato keeps talking nonsense, people will definitely have some opinions about Honami and Katsuragi. You know, I went to great lengths to get them, so I can't let them get away."

As Amane spoke, she reached out and hugged Ichinose, whose little face was slightly flushed.

"Hey! Everyone's watching now, Tianyin, can't you be serious for once?"

Ichinose gently tapped Amane's head with the back of her finger, trying to make her behave. She was a little embarrassed by everyone's teasing looks, but it was clear that Amane wouldn't be persuaded by a few words. If she wasn't thick-skinned enough, she wouldn't even be able to hold hands, let alone stick together.

"No, no!"

Amane buried her head in Ichinose's stomach and rubbed against it. Seeing Amane acting spoiled and cute, the others started teasing Ichinose.

While everyone's attention was focused on Ichinose and Amane, Karuizawa's gaze remained fixed on Amane's neck the entire time.

"Hui? Are you not feeling well? You look a little...not well?"

Amane noticed that Karuizawa was staring at her, but she was too busy playing around with Ichinose to notice it at the time.

When she turned around to get down to business, she noticed that Karuizawa's face was slightly flushed and his lips were twitching as if he was enduring something.

Seeing that Amane finally asked her a question, Karuizawa was finally able to let go of her emotions and speak her mind.

"Tianyin, why are you wearing that scarf?! It's still summer!!!"

Hearing Karuizawa's complaint, Horikita breathed a sigh of relief. She had wanted to ask Amane about this since morning, but considering that Amane must have her reasons for doing so, she hadn't asked. However, Horikita was also curious why Amane would wear such an ugly scarf that looked like a half-finished product in the middle of summer. Didn't she feel hot?

As the two walked along in the morning, they attracted a lot of attention. When Horikita walked with Amane, she felt that the strange looks from others seemed to extend to her as well.

"Well... of course, it's because I love the scarf you made, Hui! You haven't been coming to see me lately, and I've been missing you, so I'm wearing this scarf... Hmm! It reminds me of you! That's it!"

Tenon looked at Karuizawa with deep affection and said.
