The guy who claimed to be from the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization obviously knew where the monsters in this entire area were hiding, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived at the scene so quickly.

If I can establish a good relationship with her, then it will be easy for me to level up and gain experience later, right?

After all, a so-called hungry ghost can give you 100 experience points, so if there are ten or eight of them and they are upgraded to level six, it doesn't seem so unthinkable.

"Then I can only ask for your contact information or something next time we meet. We live in the same city, so I guess we'll meet again sooner or later."

With expectations for the future, Shirasaka quickly fell asleep. He did not forget that he was still a high school student after all. If he was late at the beginning of the school year, it would be a bit disrespectful to the teacher.

Nothing happened during the night, and when Shirasaka opened his eyes again, it was already early morning of the next day.

After a quick wash, Shirasaka changed into the school uniform that he hadn't worn for the entire summer vacation. After tidying up his messy bangs, he carried his schoolbag and walked towards the campus he had not worn for a long time.

"I've been to high school twice in a row and have to take the college entrance exam twice. Life is really unbearable."

Without any intention of greeting any of his classmates, Shirasaka went straight to his seat with his schoolbag, and then lay down like a corpse.

By the way, Shirasaka's position is the first one in the first row, which is a natural scout position. It has nothing to do with the so-called protagonist position in the last row by the window.

Shirasaka really wanted to be in that position and enjoy the view outside the window and the legendary treatment of the protagonist, but his grades were too good, and no matter what the teacher said, he would not send him to that place.

As for what would happen to the students behind if Shirasaka, who was 1.78 meters tall, pushed forward like that, the seats on the side of the first row perfectly solved that problem.

As long as he doesn't become as fat as a tank, there is no need to worry about the vision problem. In this regard, Shirasaka can only sigh that this teacher really cares about him.

Fortunately, Shirasaka was not picky about these details. The reason he came to school was just to get a diploma. Compared with the cruel and introverted high school life he had experienced, the things he learned in Neon High School were simply easy.

He has always maintained the top spot in the grade, and this is partly why Shirasaka is not liked by other students in the class.

You should know that the behavior of small groups in Japanese schools is very serious. If you are not careful, you may be labeled as a loner, and it is not impossible for bullying to occur in serious cases.

Of course, Shirasaka doesn't have any such worries.

It's not because he has a strong personality or a powerful background, it's simply because he has the aura of being the best in the grade.

If an ordinary, unknown student is bullied, the teacher may turn a blind eye, but who has ever seen the top student in the grade being bullied?

Not to mention the class teacher, even the academic dean would be so angry that he would kick those bullies when he heard about this. How could a student who can serve as the face of the school tolerate being bullied?

Besides, Shirasaka was just cold towards students of the same age. In the eyes of those teachers, he was a rare talent that only appeared once in a century.

He usually attends classes seriously, has good grades, and never fights or makes trouble. The most important thing is that he doesn't even have a love life. He studies wholeheartedly as if he were working, and I don't need to spend any energy on him at all.

Let me ask you, how many teachers can dislike such a good student?

The classmates in the class also consciously did not bother Shirasaka. They just enthusiastically discussed what they saw and heard during the summer vacation, as if there was no such person as Shirasaka in the class.

"I always feel like high school life shouldn't be like this. What went wrong?"

With his face resting on the desk, Shirasaka squinted his eyes and scanned the class. The students were discussing enthusiastically, but he only felt the noise.

It was obvious that in the anime he had watched before, the protagonist's high school life should not be like this. Could it be that there was really something wrong with his geographical location that affected the feng shui?

He subconsciously frowned, and his already impatient face suddenly took on a murderous look, which immediately made a girl who wanted to say hello to Shirasaka shut her mouth and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Sure enough, the rumors about the number one shrimp rice in Shirasaka Kamihama Junior High School didn't seem false. No wonder someone once saw him walking out of the market covered in blood late at night. Who wouldn't be scared?

"Oh, forget it. I'll take this opportunity to review what I learned before. When I have time, I'll check to see if the Judo and Sanda clubs have any plans to recruit new members this semester."

Shirasaka, who was unable to figure out what was going on, didn't notice the change in expression of the girl who hurriedly passed by him. After a long sigh, he began to prepare for his next plan.

The part-time job that I originally told Wu Lu Yu Yi about looking for may need to be postponed. Now that I have found a way to upgrade, I must prioritize improving my own strength first.

Speaking of money, I remember that guy yesterday also said that if you go to eliminate those so-called Chang'an, you can get rewards by applying?

If this is true, then it can at least solve some of my financial problems.

——It’s a pity that the guy didn’t explain himself clearly in the end. He just said that I could go and apply, but she did give me an address!

Chapter 24 Who can't recognize this?

For Shirasaka, class time is actually much easier to endure than breaks. At least he can learn something during class, while during breaks, he can only lie on the table.

It was unrealistic to do anything in such a short period of time. Fortunately, when Shirasaka thought about the boring life he had to go through at work, he felt that this experience was much easier.

After all, it was the first day of school. After the class teacher symbolically expressed some feelings about the summer vacation, the teachers of each subject did not assign any overly tedious homework. Time passed by like this, and soon it was time for the lunch break.

There was no such thing as a pleasant lunchtime lunch exchange session for Shirasaka. His lunch was just the cheapest lunch box he bought at a convenience store.

There was no idea of hiding on the rooftop or in the toilet to eat alone. Rather, Shirasaka was very confused. The rooftop was fine, but was the toilet really a place for people to eat?

He couldn't accept it anyway.

After hastily finishing his lunch, Shirasaka thought that there were still more than two hours until the afternoon class, so he stood up, stretched, and walked out of the classroom.

"Do I really need to find a fighting club? I feel like I won't learn anything there."

Scratching his head and wondering what he could really learn from a high school amateur club, Shirasaka walked towards the fighting club.

No matter what the result is, it’s always a good idea to go and take a look first.

Shirasaka himself didn't really expect to gain anything. After experiencing what happened yesterday, he realized that this world is not only populated by monsters, but there are also beings among humans who are beyond ordinary people.

In that case, he would have to find a stronger teacher. If he was just a theoretical person, Shirasaka didn't want to find a modern-day Yu Xiaogang to make him suffer.

The fighting club of Kamihama Junior High School is not a particularly popular club. Well, most students still prefer the armed fighting style. As for the fighting club, perhaps because the scope is too broad, or because there are not many girls, it looks a bit deserted.

But this is normal. When Shirasaka thought about how she had just passed by the Kyudo Club and the Kendo Club, and saw that the new recruits were all pretty schoolgirls in kimonos, and then she looked at the entire department's recruitment office in front of her and saw that there was no trace of feminine elements at all, she inexplicably had the urge to turn around and leave.

It’s not that he can’t accept that there are not many girls in the club. After all, he is there to learn things, not to pick up female students.

But the problem is, no one likes to be surrounded by muscular men who smell of sweat, right?

They are specifically recruiting new members, so no matter what, they have to trick a few female students into serving as receptionists for the newcomers. With two strong men standing there, Shirasaka really doesn't have much desire to get close to them.

Maybe they really know a lot about fighting, but obviously, they don’t understand high school students.

Shirasaka only stood at the door of the fighting club for two seconds, and then decisively left this place full of male hormones.

The main reason was that he saw the team members training inside through the window, and they were just doing some very basic things. He could do this kind of thing alone at home, it just depended on his self-discipline.

It was definitely not because he didn't see a female member in the club and was worried about his anus being in danger.

Shirasaka ran away from the fighting club at almost the speed of escape. He calmed himself down and could only temporarily postpone the plan of training fighting skills.

In terms of close combat, it all depends on reaction speed. As long as the speed is fast, the master can be beaten to death with a random punch. In addition, if you want to rely on the monsters in Chang'an to level up in the future.

Then the human fighting skills can play a very small role. After all, it is hard to say whether those strange things can look like human beings. You can't expect a monster to fight with you, right?

With a regretful sigh, Shirasaka was about to give up his training plan this time when he unexpectedly glanced at the booth of another club recruiting new members.

Just one glance and a smile was on Shirasaka's face again. He was just talking about her, and now he meets her.

Walking leisurely to the stall, Shirasaka looked up at the new club name.

——Tea Ceremony Department.

Hmm, it doesn't look like my track.

But it's not a big problem. Shirasaka is looking for the person in front of him. Joining the club is just one of the options. When there are better options, he certainly doesn't need to settle for second best.

But before Shirasaka could say hello to the long-haired girl sitting at the recruitment seat, someone patted his shoulder and interrupted him.

"Student, don't you know that if you want to submit an application to join the club, you have to queue up first?"

"Don't think you can skip the queue just because you're handsome."

Shirasaka turned his head and saw a group of classmates who were staring at him eagerly. Only then did he realize that the popularity of the tea ceremony club seemed to be beyond his imagination.

"Excuse me."

With an apologetic expression, Shirasaka obediently walked to the end of the line. He could also take this opportunity to confirm whether the long-haired girl sitting in the recruitment position was really the person he wanted to find.

Deep blue pupils. √

Long purple hair. √

A chest as flat as a horse's. √

How should I put it? Shirasaka had complained about this a long time ago. Covering your face with a black cloth is a bit of an IQ tax. Disguising your identity is definitely not as easy as it looks in comics and movies.

Most people are not blind. Even if their faces are covered, many features are still enough for people to identify their identities.

Especially when this feature is obvious enough, it becomes a bit self-deceptive.

Shirasaka was more than 90% sure that the girl in charge of recruiting new members for the tea ceremony club was the girl who appeared at the entrance of the alley last night. Even though she had changed her hairstyle and was no longer wearing the ninja costume that looked like cosplay, Shirasaka was able to recognize her just by looking at her eyes.

As for the girl's delicate and fair face, which looked like it was carved out of white jade, Shirasaka glanced at it and then looked away. One thing he had to admit was that this girl's actual appearance was indeed very stunning.

No wonder there is such a long queue in front of this club.

In this world, appearance is everything.

Chapter 25: No, sister?

The queue was longer than Shirasaka had imagined, but fortunately, most of them came for the girl in charge of reception in front. Most of them were rejected by the cold-faced girl with a shake of her head before they could say a few words.

It didn't take much time before it was Shirasaka's turn in the queue, and he sat in front of the two reception girls.

"Student, may I ask why you chose the tea ceremony club?"

The other girl sitting next to the purple-haired girl sorted out the files in front of her. When she saw that the person coming was a man, she actually lost interest.

Especially after seeing the look in Shirasaka's eyes, the girl who seemed to be sticking to him, the receptionist had already put a big red cross on him in his heart.

She had seen too many people like this today, all of them coming for the girl next to her. The number of people who truly liked the tea ceremony could be counted on one hand. She couldn't help but doubt whether her decision to encourage the minister to come in person to recruit new members was correct.

It is true that many people came, but not all of them came for the tea ceremony.

"Huh? I'm not here to join the tea ceremony club. I'm here to look for someone."

Shirasaka didn't even bother to look at the introduction paper handed to him by the other party. He just looked at the purple-haired girl beside him with a subtle look, and then explained his purpose.

The purple-haired girl, who had been lowering her head thinking about how to deal with the next person to join the club, raised her head instantly when she heard Shirasaka's voice.

"...The Tea Ceremony Club doesn't offer a search service. Student, have you come to the wrong place?"

The receptionist's expression at this moment could only be described as speechless. She knew very well the reasons why these guys came to join the club, but they were not as bad as Shirasaka, who came without any excuses, right?

At least he should pretend a little, so that everyone can still have some room, right? If he plays it straight like this, he doesn't think that his minister will like this type of boy, right?

"No, I'm pretty sure I'm in the right place, right? I think so, Kagami-san Ichinose."

Shirasaka turned around and smiled at the receptionist, then continued to turn around and met her gaze, which was filled with a bit of surprise and confusion.

He even leaned over to take a look at the student ID card on the purple-haired girl's chest before calling out her name.

If Shirasaka was only 90% sure that the purple-haired girl in front of him was the one from yesterday, now based on her behavior, he could make a final conclusion.

This is me.

"Classmate, don't you think you're... quite low?"

Even though she felt like she had seen a lot of ups and downs, the girl in charge of reception still curled her lips. Finally, she couldn't help but raise her tone a little and stretched out her hand to block Shirasaka and the minister beside her.

How could there be such a person? Did he always use a katana in the game? Otherwise, how could he be so stupid?

"No, I just wanted to come over to ask Ichinose-san for her contact information. I have a serious reason for this. I don't think Ichinose-san would reject me, right?"

Shirasaka scratched his head. After being reminded by the girl next to him, he realized that his behavior seemed to be a little careless about the eyes of people around him. Now, after careful consideration, he could feel the gazes of the seniors and juniors behind him, who were eager to fight him for teasing them.

It seems that I haven't interacted with people for too long. If I am too straightforward, I will probably get into some trouble.

"..."

"If you don't want to join the club, please don't disturb other students."

After a long silence, the girl who had not spoken since Shirasaka appeared finally spoke. Her voice sounded a little sweeter than Shirasaka's last night, as if she was massaging her ears just by listening.

However, her tone, which was full of rejection and alienation, was completely inconsistent with her lark-like voice, and she directly ordered Shirasaka to leave.

"I'm sorry, but contact information..."

Shirasaka sighed. It seemed that compared to himself, the girl in front of him still had some dignity. It seemed understandable that she rejected him at this time?

Next time I should find a time when no one is around to look for her. Now that I know her name and class, it will be much easier to find her in the future.

"I'll wait for you at the school gate when the afternoon classes are over."

Just when everyone was looking at Ichinose Kagaki expectantly, wondering how this girl, who was as cold as an alpine flower and even unwilling to say a single extra word to others, would drive Shirasaka out, she was silent for a moment and then made a promise to Shirasaka.

Something's wrong here, isn't it? Are you sure it's not my ears that's causing the problem?

Even the girl next to Ichinose Kagami turned her head away as if she had seen a ghost, obviously not expecting her own minister to say such words.
