Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"It's already eight o'clock in the evening."

"Well, it's quite late indeed."

"But Luo hasn't eaten yet, right?"

"......"

Ah, why do you have to be so hung up on this issue? People won't die just because they skip two meals.

"I brought some food back from the shopping street. Do you want to eat together?" Ichinose smiled and showed me his hands behind his back. Although I couldn't see what was in the plastic packaging, it looked very sufficient.

"How did you know...ah, I told you myself."

“That’s it.” Ichinose tilted his head with a grin and gave me an extremely cute smile.

"Won't you invite me in to sit down? The lights in the room aren't even on. Could it be that you just woke up?"

"Yeah, you woke me up." I opened the door, turned on the light, and ushered her in. As expected, Ichinose walked in without restraint, which I admired from the bottom of my heart.

"Don't you have any defenses?" I said, closing the door.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Ichinose turned around and asked in confusion.

"Aren't you afraid that I will do something outrageous to you? We were strangers not long ago."

"Probably not. Luo is not such a person."

"If you were a little more defensive towards me, maybe I would be happier."

"Is Luo-jun planning to do something to me?" In the instant I opened and closed my eyes, Ichinose moved her face closer to me, and I could faintly feel the heat of her breath and a faint fragrance.

too close.

"You'd better not trust me too much, or I might really do something like that."

I moved away from her approaching body and reached for the kettle.

"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to buy tea and coffee, so the only drink is boiled water. Do you need any?"

Anyway, I want to drink a sip of water to relieve myself.

"I bought some drinks." Ichinose raised the bag in his hand, "Didn't Luo see it?"

As she said this she smiled at me triumphantly.

Now she is completely sure that I dare not do anything to her...

Thinking about it, I sighed.

"As for eating, I will still make it if I'm hungry. There's no need to send it to me specially."

"You'll just starve till dawn."

"That's not bad."

"No, skipping dinner for a long time will easily lead to stomach diseases, and you won't get enough nutrition." As he said that, Ichinose took out two bowls from the kitchen and came to the small sofa, and I sat down too.

"Is this, pork bone ramen?"

"Well, the original Nagahamaya's pork bone ramen, I heard it tastes super good, I've always wanted to eat it."

"Then I'll start." After preparing everything, Ichinose couldn't wait to start eating, with a happy look on his face.

On the other hand, I couldn't eat this bowl of noodles.

"By the way, do you know Kikyo Kushida?" I suddenly remembered the energetic girl who spoke to me at the elevator door.

"It's Kushida from Class D of the first year. I met her at lunch. She's a very enthusiastic person."

"That's it..."

"What happened to her?"

"Nothing, she just spoke to me after seeing me with you. I thought you two knew each other for a long time."

"No, we just met after entering this school. Mmm, it's really delicious."

Well, it might taste better if we eat it in the restaurant.

I looked at her satisfied expression and slowly picked up the wooden chopsticks beside her.

"I'm gonna start now."

Chapter 7: Obvious Blind Spots

At least in my value system, as long as the class bell has not rung, it is the students' own time, and how to allocate undefined time should be determined by their own consciousness.

So I never obeyed the teacher's mandatory orders to arrive early and do morning reading.

Well, I deeply admire this reason for staying in bed. It is undoubtedly the mainstay for me to be at the elevator door of the dormitory when it is almost time for class.

I watched the numbers on the electronic display screen start from 1 and slowly go to 4.

"......Are there students who are as late as me?"

I had waited in the dormitory for more than 40 minutes to avoid the tedious waiting for the elevator, and it turned out that someone had the same idea as me. Fortunately, he was only one floor higher than me, and he was a boy.

I walked into the open elevator door and glanced at the boy next to me. He had a brown middle-parted hairstyle and golden pupils with a hint of purple. From his overall appearance, I could sense a strong sense of indifference.

We were able to meet in the dormitory elevator at such a critical moment. This must be what people call fate. So what should I do next? It would be better to just say hello and get to know each other.

But would this make him feel a little strange? It shouldn't be strange. After all, when Kikyo Kushida greeted me, it was quite natural, and I didn't have any extra thoughts...

If I have to say hello, what kind of expression should I use? Something passionate or cool? I remember when Kushida greeted me, he said "Hi, hello." So can I also make a cute expression to greet him?

However, the running time of the third floor alone could not support my wild thoughts. He walked past me at a fast pace, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with me, so I followed his wishes and widened the distance between us.

In the end, nothing was done. I sighed in frustration at his back.

On the second day of school, since it was the first day of class, most of the time the class only explained the learning guidelines.

The teachers were all very friendly and cheerful, especially our homeroom teacher. If it weren’t for her mature appearance, I would have thought she was from the same high school class as us. They would not remind students who were distracted in class or playing with their phones in private even if they noticed it.

Thinking this way, it seems that whether or not to attend class is a personal freedom, but is this really the system of a high school for college entrance examinations?

In a very relaxed and humorous atmosphere, I entered the lunch break. The students left their seats and walked with people they had just met yesterday. I wanted to talk to Ichinose, but she was soon taken away by someone else. I could only watch this scene with envy from behind.

"Are you familiar with Ichinose?" Just as I was about to go to the cafeteria as planned, Kanzaki, who was sitting next to me, spoke to me.

"No, not particularly familiar.....What's the problem?"

"Nothing, I just want an answer, after all, the relationship between you two seemed very close yesterday."

"Ah, this must be a misunderstanding. Ichinose and I only met on the bus. As for a close relationship, I think she treats everyone the same way."

“It seems to be true.”

"I'm going to the cafeteria next. Do you want to join me?" I followed the topic and invited him. I thought we could directly join a group, but it was obvious that I thought too simply.

"I'm sorry, I have to take care of some personal matters next, but it should be okay tonight."

"Is it a private matter? Then we can only have dinner together." I said regretfully.

I embarked on a journey that I had always been alone. I bought the most expensive set meal in the cafeteria and looked for suitable prey. It might be a bit scary to call it prey, and it might be better to change it to a senior, although the plate in my hand was indeed a bait for hunting.

"Senior, may I bother you for a moment?" I asked my senior who was eating the [Wild Vegetable Set Meal] while holding a plate.

"What can I do for you?" The man immediately raised his head and stared at me warily.

What? Isn't this just like a fish about to be caught?

"I'm a freshman who just enrolled this year, so I have some questions to ask you. If you don't mind, please accept this [Luxury Set Meal] first." I handed over the plate in my hand. All signs showed that I didn't do anything strange with the set meal. "It's not very pleasant to eat [Vegetable Set Meal] every day."

Even after I said that he still maintained a threatening posture towards me.

"Of course, I won't rely on just one package to get information. I will pay extra points." I added a condition, and the senior student showed a hesitant look as expected.

I silently waited for the result of his thinking. After a long silence, he sighed.

"You should be a student in Class A."

"Why can you come to such a conclusion?"

It was successful, and I slowly sat down opposite him.

"Because probably only the freshmen in Class A can notice this at such an early stage."

"Do you mean to say that the A, B, C, and D classes are divided based on strength?"

".......30,000 points." He thought for a while and gave me this answer, which I rejected without hesitation.

"At most 10,000 points. You should also know that we will know about this kind of thing sooner or later. It will only take a month at most, right?"

".......As expected of a student in Class A." The senior laughed self-deprecatingly, "Well then, I will also answer based on the value of 10,000. But you have to transfer half of your points to me as a deposit first."

"Okay, but I don't want to buy false information either."

"Of course, I won't make a mistake for such a small matter."

As per his request, I paid 5,000 points into his account as a deposit to ensure that he felt at ease.

"Then let me ask you something off topic first. Is Senpai a student in the third-year D class?"

"......Yes." He nodded. "How did you know this?"

"This is just a simple inference. You can tell even from the color of the clothes. But that's not the point. The point is—"

"Could you please take me to meet the leader of your class? I think there should be such a person as a leader."

"What do you mean?" He frowned in confusion. "I can solve your doubts. There is no need to find a leader to do this. If it is a problem of trust, I can also sign a written agreement with you."

I'm so hungry that I can't choose what to eat.

"No, you misunderstood me, Senior. I still want to ask you to answer my doubts. I want to discuss some other matters with your leader, so this is just a request."

"I can make an introduction for you, but......"

"I also have my own difficulties. I want to make an exciting deal with my seniors."

"A heart-warming...deal?"

"Yes, so could you please speak to your leader now, Senior?"

"now?"

"If I may." I nodded.

"Let me ask."

After waiting for a while, he moved his eyes away from the screen of the mobile phone he was operating.

"He agreed. He's free during the next lunch break. You can meet him whenever you want."

"Take me there after you finish your meal, Senior."

"Okay...do you have any other questions?"

"I have asked all the questions I can think of at the moment. Next, I will ask questions based on the specific content you provided."

"You said you've finished asking questions?" The senior frowned in confusion.

"um, yes."

"But you didn't ask any questions?"

"Didn't we already know those questions when we talked with our seniors?"

When I finished saying this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of astonishment.

What I had been thinking about before was where the school could make mandatory expenditures for our points, but I didn't expect that it would restrict us at the source.

I discovered this blind spot from the conversation with Ichinose yesterday, because in what Teacher Hoshinomiya said, she never mentioned that she would give us 100,000 points every month. She only said that points would be transferred in every month.

A new month has begun, which means a new round of points has been issued. But even so, as a third-year senior, I am still eating the free meal provided by the school. What does this mean?

If you have to say it is saving, then it is too scary. Eating free meals day after day, even sacrificing health for points. Of course, even so, it can also reflect the importance of points.

In order to find out the true face of this school, I followed the senior whose class was stuck in the quagmire and met their leader, Yoshii Yuzo.

Chapter 8 Your 'most basic' doesn't even reach the level of ordinary people, right?

"It's time for us to set off, Raku." Ichinose turned around and said excitedly while tapping on my wooden table.

After the afternoon school bell rang, the whole class suddenly became very excited, as if they were all going to participate in a group activity. Not only their actions, but also Ichinose's words highlighted my "out of place". The second day of school was basically a day for teachers and students to get to know each other, and I don't remember what I had planned for the afternoon.
