I have a lot of green plums

"Are you April?"

When April came, I looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing next to me. He had sparse hair and a slightly out of shape body. He looked like a director or something like that.

"Yes, are you?"

"I'm the Dean of Academic Affairs. You can just call me Mr. Okawa."

"Hello, Teacher Okawa." Hearing this, Siyue Yuzhi greeted politely.

"Haha, April, you don't have to be so polite." Director Okawa laughed twice and said, "Come in with me. I'll take you to see the principal first and then go through the formalities."

"Yes."

Following Director Okawa into the Hideichi Institute, April Yuzhi received more stares along the way. Some of them seemed to recognize him and were surprised, while others looked at him with disdain.

He was not impressed by the sights, but was more amazed by the scenery and size of Shuchiin. He had always thought that central Tokyo was big enough, but from the physical sense, Shuchiin seemed to be half the size.

I followed the dean of studies to meet the principal, a man named Adolf. He sat behind his desk with his chin supported by his hands, looking very majestic.

"Hello, Mr. Principal." Si Yue Yuzhi greeted him respectfully.

"April, nice to meet you and welcome to our Xiuzhi Academy." Adolf said in a serious tone, "I hope that during this ten-day exchange study, you can experience the enthusiasm and beauty of Xiuzhi Academy and learn more from it."

"Well, I think I certainly will."

"Very good. Without further ado, April-student should go take the entrance exam first."

"..." Siyue Yuzhi was stunned for a moment. He had never heard that exchange students had to take the school's entrance examination.

Besides, didn't Shuchiin start school two days earlier than Tokyo Chuo? Logically, the entrance exams should have been over long ago, so shouldn't he go to class directly?

"April, not everyone is qualified to enter Shuchiin. Therefore, this is a necessary ceremony. I hope you can understand, even if you once won the first place in the joint entrance examination."

As if he could see April Yuzhi's confusion, Adolf explained.

"Of course, if you pass, your results will still be effectively recorded in the ranking of Xiuzhiyuan as your medal of honor."

"But if you don't meet the passing line, please go back."

"..."

Si Yue Yuzhi understood what he heard, this was a complete show of power to intimidate her.

To be honest, he felt a little annoyed. He was just here for exchange studies, not to fight for anything, and it was Xiuzhiyuan himself who made this request, so why should he suffer like this?

"Then I'll go back first." After saying this, Si Yue Yuzhi was about to turn around and leave.

If the other party invited him over just to show off his superiority, he felt that there was no need for him to stay and curry favor with someone who was not in his position.

"April classmate, please stay! I just said that to look cool!"

"..."

Hearing this, Si Yue Yu Zhi was completely speechless, but still stopped and faced the other party again.

"But the entrance exam is a tradition of Shuchiin. I hope April-san can understand."

Adolf pleaded, wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.

"I see."

Since the other party didn't really want to make things difficult for her, Siyue Yuzhi wouldn't lose face.

“We’re taking the test now?”

"Yes, take the test now."

Adolf took out a test paper and pushed it in front of April Yuzhi.

Si Yue Yuzhi glanced at the questions above and realized their difficulty at a glance.

Do students at Shuchiin usually take such difficult tests?

Chapter 228: Enrollment in Shuchiin

The entrance exam to Shuchiin was really difficult. At least in April, Yuzhi hadn't encountered a question that made him think hard for more than ten minutes before figuring out the steps to solve it.

In addition to science, the difficulty of liberal arts is also a level higher than the previous joint entrance examination. Some of the text analyses have never been learned at Tokyo Central University.

Fortunately, after a morning of exams, he managed to finish the test paper on time.

"Principal Adolf, are you really not making things difficult for me?"

Si Yue Yuzhi was doing finger gymnastics to relax while looking at the man in front of her with some suspicion.

"Ah, what are you talking about, April? You are a distinguished guest of our Xiuzhiyuan. How could we embarrass you?"

Adolf said this with a smile on his face, and then handed the test paper to the teacher standing beside him.

"Now that the exam is over, can I go see my class?"

The other party's expression looked a little cunning, but Si Yue Yuzhi was too lazy to say anything. The exam was already over and it was about time for him to rest.

He spent most of the morning in the principal's office doing papers. Not only did he not get to take a good look at the scenery of Shuchiin, he didn't even know which class he was assigned to.

"Of course, how about letting Mr. Okawa take you to handle the formalities first, and then take you to class?"

"can."

Only after walking out of the principal's office did Siyue Yuzhi let out a breath and stretched his muscles and bones that were almost rusted from sitting for so long.

"April, let's go. I'll take you to complete the enrollment procedures."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Okawa."

Following the Dean of Academic Affairs, Si Yue Yuzhi gradually left the sparsely populated place of the principal's office and arrived at the teaching building, where he got to know what the students of Xiuzhiyuan's daily study and life were like.

It turns out that it is no different from Tokyo Central.

After class, they made a lot of noise and played jokes. Apart from their aristocratic status, they were no different from teenagers from ordinary families.

"Is that student transferred from another school?"

"Don't you know? He's April from Tokyo Central, the one who beat our school in the last joint exam."

"Eh? So that's him? So handsome."

"Not only that, he's April himself. Do you know April? He's the composer who also did the soundtrack for Mr. Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky."

"Eh!!"

......

It turns out that students from aristocratic and wealthy families also chase stars.

Along the way, Si Yue Yu Zhi occasionally heard people talking about herself, but there were also people who didn't even know her.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, not everyone in this world will pay attention to someone who has nothing to do with them.

After entering the teaching building and following the Dean of Academic Affairs up a few flights of stairs, they finally stopped at the door of a room deep in the corridor.

He thought this should be the academic affairs office, but after entering he found that it was not what he thought.

The man sitting behind the desk was not a teacher. He was wearing a hat and had a gold chain hanging on his lapel.

Although he exudes a mature and steady aura, he still looks like a student. After all, he is wearing a school uniform.

"Hello, Mr. Okawa."

After seeing them, the other party took the initiative to speak with a smile, and then looked at him: "This should be April from Tokyo Central. I have heard of your name for a long time."

I've long heard of your name... Si Yue Yu Zhi didn't think her fame had such a great power, but she still responded politely to the polite words.

"Hello, senior."

"hehe."

"Just go through the admission procedures for him. I have something else to do so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Teacher Okawa left first, leaving only April Yuzhi.

Come to think of it, there were no other members in this huge student union office.

"April classmate, here. This is your ID card for school."

Just as Si Yueyuzhi was looking at him inconspicuously, the other party had already handed him his ID card. He took it and took a look. It was a student ID card.

Except for the lack of a photo of myself, other basic information is relatively clear, and it also indicates the class I am in.

Class A, Grade 1...

"Thank you."

He didn't care about the photo. He would only stay in this school for ten days at most, and by then this certificate would become a piece of waste paper.

"April is new here, so I guess he might not be familiar with the place. I'll take him around Shuchiin."

After receiving the ID card, Siyue Yuzhi heard the other party's initiative to propose. He thought about it and did not refuse. After all, he still had to stay for ten days. Not to mention seeing all the areas of Xiuzhiyuan, at least he had to understand the infrastructure.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to find a quiet place to eat when you want.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior."

......

The student council president in front of me is a very peaceful person and is well respected among the students.

Generally speaking, apart from their status, such people must have done a lot of good things to be so popular.

"The last time I took my juniors on a campus tour like this was when the first year of high school started."

"Really?" Not knowing why the other party was saying this to him, Si Yue Yu Zhi could only give a simple response, "Then I guess the senior must think highly of that student."

"Why do you think so?"

"I guessed." Siyue Yuzhi said honestly, "After all, seniors can't always lead freshmen to visit the campus one by one."

"What if I just picked a random classmate?"

"That's just my wrong guess. It won't have any impact, right?"

"Haha, you are indeed a genius who can beat our school in the joint entrance examination. April-san is really surprising."

Listening to the other party's praise, Siyue Yuzhi just smiled and continued to follow the other party's footsteps.

The weather in early September was still a little hot. After walking under the shade of a tree, the two finally stopped and sat on a bench to rest.

"Come to think of it, if April Yu is so outstanding, why did she choose Tokyo Chuo instead of a better high school? For example, our Shuchiin."

With the young man's talent, it is more than enough for him to enter Shuchiin.

"Well, because I have my own responsibilities." Si Yue Yuzhi shook her head slightly and did not elaborate.

"Responsibility..."

I was somewhat surprised by the answers of the teenagers around me. Most kids of their age don’t even have a decent goal. Basically all they do every day is study and enjoy their youth.

They are still ignorant about many things, let alone responsibilities and obligations.

And even fewer people are willing to give up a brighter path for the sake of responsibility.

"April, you really are very similar to my junior."

"Really?" Si Yueyu nodded without comment. He actually didn't like others to compare him with others and then draw a similar conclusion.

Because he thinks everyone is different. It feels unfair to describe a person as "you are very similar to him or her".

But this is just his opinion, just listen to what others say.

"Ah, there he is."

Following the other person's gaze, Siyue Yuzhi saw the young man cleaning the pond with a scoop net.

Short blond hair, sharp eyes... a foreigner?

No, the facial features don't look alike.

"His name is Shirogane Yuxing."

"Baiyin Yuxing..." Siyue Yuzhi thought about it, trying to recall the name from the joint entrance examination ranking list, but since he basically didn't pay much attention to other students, he really couldn't remember it.

"April-san, why don't you go over and say hello to him? I think you two would get along really well."

"Okay." Not wanting to reject other people's kindness, and also because there was nothing wrong in making one more friend, Si Yue Yuzhi stood up and was about to walk over with the other person.

However, at this moment, a scream was heard, followed by the sound of something falling into the water.
