Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

This sentence is not entirely correct, so I added it at the end.

"Now? Have you ever done anything immoral before?"

Ji Ye, who used to be always silent and on the edge of the class, has also developed a good insight, at least his pursuit of details has improved.

Of course, there is also the abruptness of the way I speak.

"It's hard to come to a conclusion about this kind of thing, right? In the past, the standards for commenting were different both inside and outside the country, and the factors that influenced the environment were not ordinary. The future can also be predicted, so I can only say now... At least I think I will be a law-abiding person in the future, and there will be no special changes or anything."

"It was obviously just a simple question, but Luo Jun's answer was really complicated. It felt like he was talking to a member of society. Anyway, he was talking about the changes in things, right?"

"The future is a little unpredictable. Before entering this school, I never thought that life would be like this. I even joined a club............"

Indeed. Compared with ordinary high schools, the system of this school is too special.

"But, Wangcang originally had no plans to join the club?"

"Yeah, that's kind of the point. The club has strict restrictions on activities, and it's hard to sustain it if you're not really interested. Besides, there are probably more things I want to do than these. I'm born to pursue freedom~"

Perhaps feeling that he had spoken too seriously, Wangcang made a joke at the end. Although it didn't feel real, the atmosphere of the chat was slightly relaxed.

"I see... Then why did you join the calligraphy club? If it's a famous club, then you really want to represent the school in a national exhibition?"

Ji Ye, who was listening to our conversation, also raised questions, and Wangcang was not surprised at all.

"No, no. Although I have practiced calligraphy before, I don't have the confidence to say that I am more diligent than others, let alone participate in the competition as a representative of the school."

"It was probably an accident that I joined the calligraphy club. The senior who took care of me in junior high school was a member of the calligraphy club. We also practiced calligraphy in the same place before, so we were considered to be from the same school. I met her at the club's briefing session, and she pulled me in."

"Also, although it's a famous club, the rules of club activities are not strict. The seniors are also very caring towards the juniors. Although I don't think I have much ability to be selected for the club... There is no other deep reason."

Accident, coincidence.

So-called opportunity to start something, let’s just call it that.

"It's obvious that Luo Jun doesn't want to join the club. Does Xiaoxue feel the same way as me?"

I know it very well. Wangcang looked past me and directly at Jiye. Although I was glad for this "immediate response", I was afraid that my thoughts could be easily read by others.

With widespread use, it will become commonplace.

"No, well, I'm a little afraid of trouble. I'd be a little unhappy if I was instigated. Of course, there's also the reason Asako said. I prefer to be alone rather than gathering with club members."

"What will you do?"

Wangcang asked with interest.

It was not until this question was asked that I clearly realized the extent of Himeno's superficial interactions with his classmates.

Megumi is somewhat similar to Ichinose, and I hope to become closer to my friends.

"Even if Ma Zi said so, I can't realize it for a while... Uh, daydreaming? Or going to the grocery store, sometimes reading some comics, and then walking around in various places without knowing the meaning?"

Overall, I feel the same way as I do, enjoying my alone time. It's just that Ji Ye will use up the remaining energy in her body, while I just lazily stay in the gloomy room............

"Cool. Are you using Instagram?"

"Photography?... I don't really understand this kind of thing."

I was quite surprised that Jiye denied this. I thought that all girls would have a special hobby for Instagram, just like they like shopping.

There is nothing unnatural, it's just the differences that make it unacceptable.

"I see. Are you interested in this, Luojun?"

"If you mean photography, I can't say I'm interested. But I still installed the app on my phone."

I searched for it and then showed the account to Wangcang.

"The page is blank............"

"Ah. I think it's not good to send my information out. I'm a little embarrassed."

"But there's not even anyone to follow. This means it's not being used at all, right?"

"Well, that seems to be the case."

This school prohibits communication with the outside world, so SNS and other highly communicative things are limited to connecting only between students. If students are satisfied with this, the school will not interfere.

Therefore, it is also filled with a considerable amount of personal information.

At first, I thought this software was convenient for storing other students' information on my mobile phone, so I downloaded it. Although its usefulness is limited, the style and content of the photos can reveal a lot.

At first, I was interested in the features, but now I am not interested anymore. Of course, I have also done a good job of handling my browsing history, so now it looks like a brand new one.

"I thought Luo Jun signed up because he wanted to watch Fan Bo."

“…Is Ichinose also using it?”

Wangcang thought about it for a moment.

"Occasionally, there were some before, but there hasn't been any activity recently. But there's nothing interesting to see, and she's a little embarrassed to post her life."

"That's it."

If it is really used, there will probably be many cute photos circulating on the school website. Come to think of it, I remember that Class D seemed to have an idol............

"Has Ma Zi posted his life status?"

"Of course, it's impossible. There will be use, but the content sent is just something that feels good. After all, there are such people in the world, and there is nothing special about me. Not to mention that it is only circulated in this school, and I don't plan to show myself to others............"

The voice slowly descended, and Wangcang looked at me, and then his body trembled unconsciously.

“…Um, is there anything strange about me?”

"Oh, no, it's not. Please don't mind."

Wangcang quickly waved his hands to apologize.

It seems that he thought of something [bad] related to me, but I can't tell what it is.

I had no intention of pursuing the matter, but the other party seemed unable to end his life like this.

"Just now I tried to imagine Luo Jun sending out his daily life. The result... felt unexpectedly, uh, heavy."

In response, Ji Ye nodded thoughtfully.

"Still...?"

“I still maintain a minimum level of activity…”

I simply tried to make excuses for myself, but I also knew that words were powerless in the face of impressions. With energy conservationism, my life had already become a "mess" for the other person.

"Hmm, let's talk about something else. Are you two interested in visiting the calligraphy club tomorrow and observing some calligraphy?"

"I know nothing about it. I can't appreciate it."

Jiye shook his head and expressed his approach frankly, and Wangcang was not surprised. The above are just politeness. Even if we act rashly, it doesn't matter.

"I don't have any plans for that. If I just want to kill time, then I can go again, right?"

"Yes. The calligraphy club is open to the public. Luo Jun can come whenever he wants. If you want to visit, please let me lead you!"

This girl is really full of energy. In comparison, Ji Ye is probably the girl with the heaviest [Dead Energy] I have ever seen, although she is gradually exposing her true side to the public.

"............But then again, it seems like some strange things have been happening recently."

"Strange things, what? Is it a new campus supernatural legend?"

"This is a real-life experience, not some fictional fantasy. Do you think Class C looks a little strange?"

Wangcang rejected my argument and quietly changed the subject. I had expected this. No, I guess most first-year students had noticed this.

This is true even now.

"Class C? Class C has always been like this, there's nothing strange about it, right? Or did something happen that we don't know about, regarding the extra points deduction?"

I remember it was a few days ago, shortly after the final exams, we first-year students received a general explanation from the school.

I don't know what happened, but it seems that Class C committed a serious violation. Although the school did not release the details, they were fined a heavy penalty of deducting 100 class points.

"What on earth did they do to deserve this kind of punishment? They already lost to Class D in the final exam......"

According to the class scores released by the school in December, there have not been many changes in the classes.

Class A······1074 class points

Class B······854 class points

Class C······362 class points

Class D······212 class points

The gap between Class C and Class D is not that big, only 150 class points.

【Paper Shuffle】D class defeated C class in the special exam and won the class points. 100 points of C class points were transferred to D class, closing the gap of 200 points in total. Adding 100 points of class points lost due to irregularities, D class surpassed the opponent by 150 points.

Although Class C is still in the lead at this stage, the class point table will change next month. Class C will lose its original status, and Class D will be promoted to Class C as a replacement.

By the way, after a tough battle, we ended up in a tie with Class B in the Paper Shuffle special exam. There was no special change, and the only information we got was that the academic ability gap between the two students was not that big.

By January of next year, the class points will be like this.

Class A······1074 class points

Class B······854 class points

Class C······312 class points↑

Class D······162 class points↓

"I don't know much about that kind of thing. I'm talking about the fact that recently, unrelated people from Class C have been showing up at club activities."

"Uh, is there also a calligraphy club in Mazi?"

Wangcang nodded.

"Yes, that's right. Since the calligraphy club is open to the public, students can come and go freely. Recently, every time I practice calligraphy, I always see students from Class C. It seems that other clubs have the same situation, but I'm not sure about the details."

"But why did Class C do this? To disrupt the club's activities? If that's the case, it would be meaningless. If it's more serious, it might attract the attention of the school."

“I’m also very surprised.”

“Has Wangcang been harassed by the other party?”

"No. They didn't make any trouble. They just stood there quietly and watched. Occasionally they would glance at me, but most of the time they were staring at other members of the calligraphy club."

"What? Did they get too upset because of the failure in the final exam?"

Without factual basis, we can only make joking speculations like Himeno.

I slightly turned my gaze to the side. The surveillance was still going on. Although I didn't know the name, I could recognize that the person was a member of Class C. The target of the surveillance was a student of Class D.

Are you eager to find out the brains behind Class D?

Chapter 4: Ambiguous Knot

As always, I try my best to get through each day, so I don’t have much extra energy to look back on the past.

However, when I feel the breath of the human body and the figure entering my field of vision, I will pay close attention and observe.

Perhaps this behavior has become a kind of instinct in the body, and it has become so familiar that it is as unconscious as daily breathing.

I was observing carefully to see if there was anyone's figure or presence looking at me from a distance.

Although if I check carefully, there is actually no one around, but as long as that kind of [intuitive] aura does not disappear, I can't let my guard down............

No, even when I am alone I check with myself.

It seems that I am really a dark person!

The students in Class C were staring at something, a small group of students in Class D not far away. Wang Cang and Ji Ye probably hadn't noticed this yet, but one of the boys in Class D had a special feeling about this, and was holding his breath, secretly watching the situation in Class C.

When there were no activities, the students in Class C just played with their phones.

Although it is possible to force the other party to reveal their true purpose, the surveillance party also maintains a very delicate distance. If the other party insists that it was just an encounter or coincidence, there is no way to pursue the matter further.

Rather, the members of Class D will be put in a passive situation.

There is no hard evidence of surveillance, which is the failing point of a standoff situation.

"Could it be that they just suddenly became interested in club activities or something?"

Wangcang hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly poked his right index finger on his lower lip, and his cheeks bulged slightly.

"For example, Class C is losing in class points, and they want to take remedial measures through club activities. Is this the starting point for action?"
