Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

Maybe...Trust?

I am not sure.

I have never felt such a persistent gaze before. It is similar to expectation but slightly different. It may also be that some of the most heavy thoughts are placed on me.

So isn't everything possible, as long as it belongs to the unknown side?

Well, aren’t there a lot of them?

Like a burden being used.

"How could Luo Jun do such a thing? Speaking of [class betrayer] or something like that... it's simply impossible."

Some of the girls gave their answers firmly.

"I remember that the preparation of the class [offense] test was entrusted to Beppu-kun, and Honoki was also involved... Raku-kun wasn't involved. The [offense] test was not completed and submitted to Hoshinomiya-sensei... No matter how you think about it, Raku-kun can't be a [class traitor]."

"That's right. Even if there really was a [class betrayer], it wouldn't be Raku. If it weren't for Raku, we wouldn't have been able to pull off a desperate comeback in the final relay race at the sports festival."

"Luo will never do anything that would harm the class."

My classmates’ support for me was greater than I thought.

Although my actions so far have not harmed the class, I still feel a little embarrassed to be praised and trusted like this.

I glanced at Ji Ye beside me, and after noticing my gaze, she shrugged indifferently.

"Crack-pump-"

It is a pity.

Just as I was about to deepen others' misunderstanding of me, Ichinose clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone in the class.

"Hanbo?"

"Yes. Everyone, please don't be confused by what Sakayanagi-san said. Takumi would never do anything to leak the class [offensive] test questions, and no student in the class would do that. I believe that everyone is a good kid. So you must trust each other."

Although a little tired, Ichinose still faced everyone with a smile.

Although I don't know what the real experience of [Maternal Radiance] brings to people is like, but the fact that it makes people feel warm and relaxed may be a very suitable word for Ichinose now.

The previous depression was also swept away.

"We also believe that Luo would not do such a thing. After all, we have Fanbo~"

The girls' teasing made Ichinose blush slightly, but she still looked gentle.

If it is trust expressed by Ichinose, it would be difficult to change one's current thoughts in an instant.

"Well, yes. Everyone must not doubt their classmates because of a few words from other classes. There will definitely be many similar provocations in future special exams, and we must not be fooled."

"Class unity is extremely important. If there is a failure in coordination, our position as Class A will not be guaranteed. Even if there are any minor conflicts between us in the future, I hope that everyone can resolve them peacefully, and I will do my best to help everyone in practical actions."

“There will be absolutely no conflict.”

"Thank you for your cooperation. I will try my best to maintain the relationship between everyone."

Ichinose promised.

"It's just that the class [offense] test questions were leaked... What exactly is going on here? Class leader Ichinose, can you explain it to us first? I'm a little concerned."

"Please rest assured about this. I have told you before that I was one of the creators of the test paper for the class [offensive]. Although all the notes in my hands have not been checked yet, the contents of the few that I looked through were completely different from the ones we created."

"So there's no chance of the class [offense] test being leaked. Besides, maybe it can be used as a reference."

"I see, isn't that right... That's great."

"Yes. The so-called [leaked test questions] did not come from our class at all. It was a distraction."

Ichinose pretended to be nonchalant and waved the note in his hand, causing most of the students in the class to breathe a sigh of relief.

But is this really the case?

I have my doubts.

This was probably just a temporary measure used by Ichinose to stabilize the morale of the troops. I knew clearly that Ichinose's casual glances just now were not enough for her to understand the content of the actual test questions of the class.

In addition, even if Ichinose saw the content clearly, she could not guarantee that it was not part of the class [offense] test questions. Although the number of people involved in the creation of the class [offense] test questions for this special exam was extremely small, it was impossible for Ichinose to participate in the creation of every test question.

In other words, Ichinose didn't know the contents of all the test questions.

"Then what did Sakayanagi-san's last words mean, and why did he get in touch with Luo-kun?"

The girls were still upset about what Sakayanagi said before he left, as if their things were taken by someone else, and they were confused and angry at the same time.

Since the leaked test questions cannot be linked to the class [Attack] test questions created by Ichinose, then who got these notes and why did Sakayanagi say that? Everything is a mystery.

Only when the answer is revealed can we stop complaining and focus on the current study. Although Class A is very flexible in dealing with difficulties, once there is internal chaos, the overall situation will fall apart.

Unity is the foundation of our respective strengths.

"Lord Luo also looks like he knows nothing."

The girls looked at me and said so.

I touched my face subconsciously.

"There are a few points about this issue that I find difficult to understand, and I still need to confirm them. But the general direction of the speculation has been determined. If all goes well, I will give you an explanation in the class meeting this afternoon."

"Have you figured it out yet?"

"Well, I think that's about it. So, can you please not let these distractions affect your future studies? No matter what, improving your abilities is the most important thing now. Is that ok, everyone?"

Whether the content is true or not is no longer important.

Ichinose's assurance and the firmness in his tone were enough for any first-year student to not believe it.

The girl named Ichinose Honami has that kind of charm.

"Since Captain Ichinose has said so, we have no reason not to trust him. We can't let this incident affect our efforts for the rest of the day."

"I agree. I don't want to see us get defeated by Class B in the end."

The classmates nodded to each other, expressing their absolute trust in Ichinose.

"thank you all."

Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he slowly lowered the hand that was covering his heart.

Kanzaki has remained strangely silent beside me until now.

Although Ji Ye is also like this, she is just not very good at it. Even the taciturn deputy should know that this is the time for [great achievements] and there is no reason not to respond.

In other words, Kanzaki was hesitating, aware of the current situation and his urgent desire for answers.

I might be unusually busy today.

"Hello~ Good morning, everyone in Class A. The class is quite lively. What are you discussing?"

When the morale of our Class A was rising, Teacher Hoshinomiya suddenly poked his head in at the front door of the classroom with a cheerful step.

The little girl with only her upper body exposed looks quite cute. The lightness of her clothes and the waves at the ends of her hair also give off a mature vibe.

"Nothing, Mr. Hoshinomiya. We were just thinking about how to defeat Class B."

"Hmm, you're full of energy so early in the morning. It turns out that students are full of energy. But don't let your enthusiasm get the better of you during class."

Teacher Hoshinomiya responded to everyone half-jokingly, and then turned his attention to Ichinose who was sitting in front of the desk.

"Hey, what is Xiao Fanbo doing standing in front of the podium? Is he announcing something important?"

"No, there are just some misunderstandings that need to be cleared up."

"To clarify the misunderstanding... Could it be that Fanbo and Luojun have already..."

"Ahaha. Mr. Hoshinomiya, uh, um, ah. Can you take up some time for the afternoon class meeting? I want to make some arrangements for this special exam. Hmm. Is that okay?"

Although I was a little concerned about the speculation that Mr. Hoshinomiya didn't say out loud, there was nothing I could do since Ichinose interrupted me.

"Well, Xiao Fanbo is really something............"

Teacher Hoshinomiya pouted in dissatisfaction, then suddenly thought of something and whispered something in Ichinose's ear.

"Teacher Hoshinomiya!"

"Think about it carefully~"

"Then, about that class meeting—"

"Yeah, okay."

"......"

I don't know what she said, but I could clearly see that Ichinose was trying to stay calm and gave me a complicated look.

"Okay everyone, enough of the jokes. The court meeting is about to begin, please return to your seats."

At Mr. Hoshinomiya's call, the students who had stood up out of excitement gradually calmed down.

Ichinose also returned to her seat, and at the same time, she kept watching over me like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

"............Is the matter settled now?"

"That should be the case... Ichinose also said that he would give everyone an explanation during the class meeting, right?"

Jiye and I looked at each other, and the other person sighed slowly.

"I always feel that Mr. Luo will be inexplicably involved in some strange things."

"If possible, I don't want this to happen............"

Maybe it’s because I got too close to Ichinose.

Without our encounter on the bus, without the relationship between the desks in front and behind, and without a series of subsequent coincidental encounters, I don't think I would have such a deep connection with her, and would not have had the desire to seek answers again.

It's too late to give up now, because the last one left has already started the "decisive battle". The victory or defeat will determine my future path.

"See you at noon then."

"Well, see you at noon."

Obviously, we would both stay in this class for the rest of the time, and we would see each other every day, but Jiye and I still looked like we were reluctant to say goodbye.

Perhaps if we stay in this atmosphere, no one can get closer to each other............

I reached out and closed the back door of the classroom.

From the moment Sakayanagi explained the cause of the incident, I had been standing at the back door of the classroom without moving. This made me realize how much I cared about this matter.

However, just by standing there, one can easily feel the loss of strength and the fatigue.

"I'm almost back to my position......"

Thinking of this, Kanzaki put his hand on my shoulder.

Chapter 202: Resounding in the Deepest Part of the Body

“…………What’s the matter?”

As the only two people standing in the class besides Mr. Hoshinomiya, in order to avoid our little actions attracting the attention and suspicion of other classmates, I turned around and responded after just a moment's hesitation.

"After that, do you have time?"

"............I don't know the answer to this question. Even if I understand it literally and regard the question as the remaining time of life, I can't answer it. But I can guarantee that I won't die suddenly in the next second............"

Although I know that my pretense is as naked as a cloak in Kanzaki's eyes, I still choose to cover it up as usual. Even joking has its own effect. Whether it is a lie or the truth, it doesn't matter when it is so real that it is indistinguishable from the real thing.

Kanzaki didn't care about my funny remarks and continued analyzing my life.

"Even if you didn't originally plan to take a lunch break, since this has happened, you will be forced to take one and lose your [free] time. Also, if I remember correctly, you have to attend Himeno-san's study session after school today, so you won't have time in the afternoon."

"The short break between classes is not enough to finish the topic. The accumulated time will not only make it difficult to sort out thoughts, but will also affect the review progress. Speaking of which, the topic of discussion needs to be concealed. In this case... it should be okay to set the time in the evening."

"Or do you have other plans tonight?"

Although I didn't want to answer this question, Kanzaki's invitation seemed to be unquestionable, and it was difficult for me to refuse.

In fact, I should also solve the other party's inner confusion. Although I have taken into account the countermeasures that Kanzaki will take, it will be easier to implement it if he can accept my approach by default.

On the contrary, I will destroy the problem to the point where no answer can be obtained, although that will also allow me to see what I want to see......

Considering the situation to come, I decided to set our meeting place in my dormitory.

"No, not really...I'll contact you when the time is right, is that ok?"

"A dormitory room, right? That's fine too."
