My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 262 A Big Headache

Ms. Nanase, who was standing next to the podium, noticed that he had been keeping his head down while introducing himself since he stepped onto the podium, and for a moment she thought he was just shy or something.

After waiting a while, seeing that he didn't say anything else after announcing his name, and the murmurs below were getting louder and louder, she took the lead in clapping.

Before she could say anything, he quickly walked off the stage before the applause could erupt.

At that moment, Ms. Nanase realized that this child seemed to be a problem child, rather than simply someone with shyness or social anxiety...

Although he returned to his seat, the discussions about him in the classroom did not diminish in the slightest.

"Clap clap clap..."

Ms. Nanase clapped her hands on the podium. "Alright, next one, everyone hurry up."

The self-introduction session continued, and the little incident from earlier was quickly forgotten by the students as the next student stepped onto the stage.

"Tsuna, what's wrong?" Shoko, sitting next to him, noticed that he had been staring at Ishida Shoya's back and felt a little puzzled.

"It's nothing." Tsuna shook his head and casually explained, "I was just spacing out."

"Oh." Shoko nodded, then turned her attention back to the students introducing themselves at the podium.

She didn't have any particular feelings about being in the same class as Ishida Shoya; for the next three years, they would most likely just be classmates.

As for taking the relationship further, she couldn't think of it, nor would she.

A student goes on stage to introduce themselves. A brief introduction might take a minute, while a senior student might take two or three minutes. However, this is still an exception.

A-Gang glanced around briefly. There were about thirty students in Class 2, and they would be introduced much later.

"Clap clap clap..."

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Tsuna reluctantly walked onto the stage after being reminded by his classmate Shoko.

Why can't we let Shoko's name be mentioned when she goes on stage for her self-introduction?
As soon as he stepped onto the podium, some small groups below began to whisper among themselves, with appearance being the main factor.

“My name is Miyamura Tsunayoshi.”

He scanned the students below one by one, and also saw the girl with a bandage wrapped around one eye that Shoko had mentioned at the beginning.

He immediately recognized that the other person was not Rikka Takanashi, the female protagonist of "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions" that he had read in his previous life.

It really was just a classmate whose eye was injured for some unknown reason.

As he announced his name, Ishida Shoya, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head, met his gaze, and then quickly lowered it again.

It's like they're running away from something...

"I hope we can get along well with everyone over the next three years."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Ms. Nanase beside him and stepped down from the podium amidst applause.

This time, it wasn't Ms. Nanase who led the applause, but rather Shoko who led it.

When he returned to his seat, it was time for Shoko to go on stage and introduce herself. With encouragement from Ayumi and the others, the slight nervousness in her heart gradually disappeared.

Just like in junior high, when she mentioned her ear problem on the podium, it surprised the students below and caused them to whisper among themselves.

However, Ms. Nanase quickly suppressed her feelings, having anticipated everyone's reaction. It would be a lie to say she didn't feel anything; as long as her hearing impairment persisted, it would always be a thorn in her side.

Shoko's gaze met Tsuna's below. She firmly believed that her hearing impairment would be cured in the near future.

"I hope to get along well with everyone over the next three years."

She confidently bowed slightly to the students below, then stepped down from the podium amidst applause and walked towards someone.

The remaining students also took turns going up on stage to introduce themselves, including Naoto Nishikata's stammering self-introduction due to nervousness and Sana Takagi's extremely concise two sentences.

Whether it's Ayumi Ajitani's sunny and cheerful self-introduction, it leaves a deep impression on the students below.

"Dong dong dong..."

After the last student finished introducing himself, Ms. Nanase, who was standing next to the podium, glanced at the time, then slammed her hand on the desk to get the students' attention.
"Everyone, please line up in the hallway outside. We're going to the auditorium now to begin the entrance ceremony."

The classroom suddenly became noisy, with chatter mixed with the sounds of desks and chairs being pushed and pulled.

Within five or six minutes, everyone gathered in the corridor and, led by Ms. Nanase, arrived at the empty auditorium. Then, they found Class 2's location according to the signs.

Before long, all the new students had arrived, and the entrance ceremony began promptly. The principal delivered a speech, welcoming the new students and explaining the school's educational philosophy.

The local education committee member gave a brief speech, and everyone listened to the school song. An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and then, led by Ms. Nanase, everyone returned to the classroom.

After being notified by Nanase-sensei, Tsuna was given a ten-minute break, and he wanted to take a nap during it.

But the girls chatting around Shoko and Ayumi Ajitani didn't give him that chance at all.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and Ms. Nanase led several senior students into the classroom, each carrying a stack of books.

One of the boys, with dark skin and a buzz cut, left a deep impression on Tsuna; it was as if he'd seen him somewhere before.

After the older students left the classroom, he immediately forgot about it, couldn't remember it, and simply stopped thinking about it.

Following that, under Ms. Nanase's organization, each person received fourteen textbooks, six more than in junior high school, not including electives.

There's also an extracurricular book called the 'School Handbook'...

"Everyone, please check first to see if there are any duplicates or errors," Ms. Nanase reminded everyone, leaning against the blackboard.
"The Chinese language curriculum includes one book each of modern Chinese, classical Chinese, and classical Chinese; the mathematics curriculum includes basic mathematics and probability and statistics; and the English curriculum includes an English textbook plus grammar and reading supplements."
There are fifteen books in total: Modern Society, Geography, History, Physics, Biology, Family and Technology, Physical Education and Health, and the School Handbook.

"..." The student named Shoko below was listening to her talk and her head was spinning.

After confirming that everything was correct, Ms. Nanase began to explain the school rules, emphasizing regulations on dress, attendance, and cell phone use.

The only saving grace is that we can bring cell phones to high school, but we can only use them during breaks. If we are caught using them during class, our parents will be called.

"Ms. Nanase, when will the class representative and other positions be elected?" Ayumi Ajitani asked curiously, raising her hand.

“Hmm…” Ms. Nanase thought for a moment, “Let’s start the election next Monday, after everyone has gotten to know each other a little better.”

Ayumi Ajitani nodded and stopped asking questions. She still wanted to compete for the class monitor position in high school.

After confirming that everyone had no questions, Ms. Nanase posted the class schedule on the classroom door for everyone's convenience.

Then, they led everyone to familiarize themselves with important places such as the teaching building, laboratories, gymnasium, and canteen, and to understand the rules of use before returning to the classroom.
