Chapter 261 Fate?

"Ding dong..."

Tsuna felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Under Shoko's questioning gaze, he took out his phone and tapped on LINE from an angle where she could see clearly.

"There should be a lot of people at the notice board right now, so don't bother looking. I've already checked for you. We're all in Class 2, Grade 1."

"picture"

"Great job, Nishikata!"

(Clapping.jpg)

He clicked on the picture Nishikata had sent, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Shoko, who was still looking puzzled, beside him:

"This is the shift schedule I took early this morning. Take a look, there's a surprise in it."

"!"

Shoko picked up the phone and immediately spotted her and his names in the picture. A few lines below were the names of Ayumi Ajitani and others, and she was overjoyed.

"Let's go to the classroom first. I heard they've already saved us seats." Gang rubbed her downcast head and put his phone away.

"Uh-huh."

She nodded. She had just seen a very unexpected name on the class assignment list, but Tsuna didn't say anything and didn't think it was anything special.

Following the posted signs, the two spent five or six minutes walking to the leftmost classroom on the second floor of Building 2.

Through the window, one can clearly see that the light-colored wooden desks in the classroom are arranged in neat rows, with chalk dust remaining on the tabletops.

The metal chair legs cast long, thin shadows on the ground, intertwining with the diamond-shaped light spots filtering through the glass window to form a geometric pattern.

The bottom right corner of the blackboard had water stains that hadn't been washed away, resembling ripples left by someone repeatedly wiping it with a wet cloth.

Three blackboard erasers were stacked on the windowsill by the corridor. When the white linen curtains were lifted by the wind, a gray-blue storage cabinet was revealed in the corner, its door handles reflecting a matte finish.

On the beige linen floor, the shadows of the thirty-seven sets of tables and chairs were so clearly defined that they resembled pen lines.

He saw that quite a few students were already sitting inside, a few huddled together chatting, but most were quietly sitting in their chosen spots.

His gaze, which was surveying the classroom, met that of Ayumi Ajitani, who was chatting in the back row.

Before he could remind her, Shoko saw her silently waving her hands at the two of them, a gesture that naturally caught the attention of Nishikata and Takagi.

This also includes scattered students from the vicinity of Ayumi Ajitani.

Tsuna, holding Shoko's hand, quickened his pace and walked into the classroom, heading towards the three people.

The two attracted the attention of many students in the classroom as soon as they arrived at the classroom door, not to mention that both of them were good-looking.

Looking at the two standing side by side outside the door, everyone was still wondering if they were a couple, until the two walked into the classroom hand in hand.

Only then did he fully realize that the two were in a romantic relationship.

"They're actually a couple..."

"What a pity, I just gave that girl a high score, now I can only silently remove the score."

"To be honest, that girl looks really cute..."

Ignoring the whispers of the boys gathered on the other side of the classroom, Shoko gently pulled her hand away from Tsuna's as she approached the three of them.

"I never imagined we'd be in the same class!"

As Takagi pointed out the spots he had saved for the two, he said:

"When I first saw the pictures that Nishikata sent, I thought it was a prank by him. The probability of that is really too low."

"The thought of being overwhelmed by Miyamura's grades for the next three years is terrifying..." Ayumi Ajitani muttered softly, feigning disappointment.

Unfortunately, everyone present heard this.

"I'm sorry for putting so much pressure on you." Tsuna said, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

Their positions hadn't changed much since their third year of junior high; they were still in the back row. Behind them were Takagi and Nishikata, and in front of them was Ayumi. Unlike the five of them chatting naturally, many students in the classroom were huddled together discussing the group. The boys were focusing on Ayumi, while the girls were talking about Tsuna.

Of the five, these two stand out in terms of looks. Since Shoko has a boyfriend, she is naturally excluded by most of the boys.

Moreover, judging from her appearance and the little expressions she makes while chatting, she must be an outgoing little sun.

As time went on, more and more students filled the classroom, until a particular student walked in and attracted everyone's attention.

"Tsuna, look! That girl's other eye..."

Shoko gently nudged the person next to her who was lost in thought, and pointed in a direction at the front of the classroom when he looked over in confusion.

By the time he looked over, the girl had already sat down, and he could only see her back. He quickly looked away.

"He must be injured." He shrugged.

As the girl sat down, the whispers in the classroom shifted to her.

Most people were concerned, while a few expressed curiosity about what was wrong with her eyes.

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

As the school bell rang, all the students in the classroom had arrived.

At that moment, a girl with short, dark brown hair, slightly curled at the ends, wearing a light beige suit jacket over a white shirt and a dark knee-length pencil skirt, walked into the classroom carrying a notebook.

Her smile was gentle, possessing the approachable charm unique to teachers and a subtle sense of languor.

This was Tsuna's first impression of her.

"Knock knock..." She walked to the podium, casually put down the notebook in her hand, and tapped the table with her index finger: "Everyone! Look at me!"

She glanced briefly at the students below, and only looked away when she saw that there were no empty seats. She then turned around and wrote her name, 'Nanase Tsukumo', on the blackboard.

"Pat pat..." She turned around and patted off the chalk dust. "I hope we can all get along well for the next three years. My name is 'Nanase Tsukumo'."

Whether you call me by my surname or my given name, remember to add "teacher" to the title.

As she finished speaking, she gave the students below a sweet smile.

"It doesn't seem very strict, so does that mean the next three years will be quite easy for us?"

"I sense a hidden dagger beneath the smile..."

"Why didn't I encounter a teacher like this in my previous schools?"

"It's like they've never been beaten down by society..."

"Just send a student to confess his feelings to her and we'll see. Let her experience the cruelty of society."

"..."

"By the way, are we allowed to date in high school?"

"Isn't that obvious? I've already negotiated with elementary school students, how could I not negotiate with high school?"

After a minute or two, once the discussion below had subsided, she coughed lightly to refocus attention.

"Alright, now let's all come up one by one and introduce ourselves, starting from the far left."

From the moment the first person shyly stepped onto the stage, time began to tick by, and each self-introduction was met with enthusiastic applause.

Tsuna always brushed it off until a boy walked up to the podium, which surprised him a little.

I was chatting with Shoko and the others and hadn't paid any attention to them. I never expected that they would be in the same class as them.

"me……"

"I...I'm called Ishida...Ishida Shoya..."
