Unlike Kitajima, Sakura Chiai is more reserved and shy.

She is probably quiet by nature and is clearly not good at speaking in front of so many people, so she seemed a little embarrassed when she spoke.

After introducing herself and her hobbies, she apologized for coming to the press conference dressed as a shrine maiden, saying she felt it had caused everyone trouble.

She also explained why she had to do this—she was supposed to wear normal clothes, but they were accidentally torn and there wasn't time to mend them, so she had to wear her shrine maiden outfit instead.

He didn't know if the other students understood, but this made Yixing feel very uncomfortable.

He had already heard that Yingxue's family was not well-off.

But I never imagined that I would be so poor that I wouldn't even have a second set of normal clothes.

Erina wanted to wear the shrine maiden outfit, but she had no other choice.

Based on this, it seems that Sakura Chiai's tuition fees were probably all funded by others.

It's possible that the chairman or Yusuke helped.

Besides carefully listening to the speeches of these two people, another classmate's speech left a deep impression on him.

That was a red-haired girl named Kodera Makiko.

Her speech itself wasn't anything special; it was just the usual stuff about what she liked and disliked, and how she hoped to become good friends with everyone.

But what caught his attention was that as she was about to step down from the podium, a baseball suddenly flew from the distant playground and hit her hard on the head, making Koji scream in pain, but thankfully she was not seriously injured.

This is probably what they mean by getting shot even when you're lying down.

It took Kitajima Sayo and Matsunaga-sensei a lot of effort to hold back the screaming Kodera Makiko and prevent her from rushing down and twisting the baseball player's head off.

Yoshiyuki and Erina went on stage together to introduce themselves.

This was Erina's suggestion after she was called upon. The teacher seemed to have known about their situation beforehand, so she had no objections.

After they went on stage and introduced themselves as each other's master and servant, they attracted many surprised looks from their classmates.

Especially after she took Yixing's hand and made an intimate gesture, many students in the audience went from surprise to envy, and some even became jealous.

This is an obvious declaration of sovereignty.

But it was just too shameful.

Yixing held the young lady in his arms, his face flushed red.

This was especially true when they discovered that Takagi Yayako had secretly taken photos of them.

After the self-introductions, the teacher began to speak to everyone again.

Besides offering blessings to the students, there were also some important points to note about studying at Sakurajima Academy, as well as an introduction to the school's unique features and strengths.

Clearly, her tongue was still in pain, so her speech was still muffled and barely audible.

Professor Matsunaga is quite interesting when he talks casually, and everyone listens with great interest.

If her teaching style were also so humorous and engaging, everyone's English level would definitely improve significantly.

Matsunaga Chiko mentioned that she also graduated from Sakurajima University.

Therefore, she has a deep affection for this school. It holds many beautiful memories of her youth and is the place where she will dedicate her entire career.

Because she had also been a student here, many of the things she said were very appealing to everyone, and her strong sense of approachability made her seem like a senior student to everyone.

In particular, the small details and stories about student life that Matsunaga mentioned made people look forward to the wonderful time of studying here.

For example, the cafeteria sells a limited number of large three-ingredient meat buns every day at noon. One bite and you're greeted with a burst of juicy tenderness—everyone loves them. As for their size, Ms. Matsunaga described them by raising her hand—they were larger than her outstretched palm.

The so-called "three-ingredient dish" refers to diced chicken, diced pork or beef, and diced bamboo shoots. It is a Chinese dish that originated in Yangzhou.

This is a delicacy that Chairperson Shimizu specifically requested to be added. She eats one every day at noon.

Aside from the one reserved for the chairman, there are a limited number of thirty available for students and teachers to purchase each day. Each person is limited to one purchase.

Generally speaking, you have to run very fast to grab this bun. Classes near the cafeteria and those with spiritual power who are good at fast movement have an advantage in this regard.

In order to get their hands on meat buns, some people asked others to make them for them, or even hired them as laborers.

Along the way, many interesting things happened. For example, some students used magic to teleport directly to the cafeteria to grab San Ding Bao (a type of steamed bun), which was considered cheating by everyone, so they demanded that the school ban this behavior.

Of course, the resolution ultimately failed to pass, as there was no such bizarre school rule in the student handbook.

About half an hour later, the broadcast came on again, bringing Matsunaga-sensei's speech to a close.

Everyone was enjoying the music, so it's a real shame.

The homeroom teacher smiled happily and gently told everyone that there would be plenty of time to tell them stories in the future. That smile was so healing that it made Yixing even more excited for the wonderful high school life.

These three years must have been incredibly happy and joyful.

He firmly believed this.

The new announcement, still from the Academic Affairs Office, reminded everyone that swimsuits and sportswear had been delivered to the lobby and could be picked up now. It also reiterated the importance of maintaining order and being careful while cleaning.

We would especially like to remind everyone to be very careful when cleaning windows. Do not clean windows alone on high floors. Always have someone beside you to help you.

The emphasis suggests that something may have happened in the past.

With Kitajima Sayo volunteering to take the lead, everyone quickly received the two sets of clothes.

These are the standard school swimsuit and sportswear, commonly known in Chinese as "school swimsuit".

The women's school swimsuit is a tight-fitting one-piece swimsuit in blue and black. The men's swimsuit is a tight-fitting blue and black shorts. The swim caps are the same style.

As for the sportswear, it was blue and white.

Like the school uniform, they were issued spring and autumn wear, so they all consisted of long sleeves and long pants.

Looking at these clothes, which were usually only worn during PE class, Yixing felt an immense sense of familiarity—after all, he was Chinese before he transmigrated. From elementary school to high school, he wore this kind of sportswear as his school uniform.

After receiving the two sets of clothes, Mr. Matsunaga reminded us that we needed to bring our own athletic shoes for outdoor PE classes and slippers for swimming classes, and that there was one swimming class every week, which the PE teacher would tell us.

Then, the homeroom teacher clapped his hands happily and announced it.

"Alright, let's start assigning cleaning tasks! After everything is finished, it'll be free time. You can take your textbooks and uniforms home, but it would be best to look around the school first. I especially recommend that huge library! It's a landmark building of our school and the pride of every Sakurajima student!"

"By the way, if anyone's interested in joining a club or student council, you can check out the sports field around 1 PM. The upperclassmen will be recruiting new members. Some of you might even be more recommended to join at least one than the teachers. Sakurajima Academy has always placed great emphasis on club activities... Ah! Koyama-san, please speak."

"Teacher! I think my surname is Kodera." Kodera Makiko raised her hand and corrected him earnestly.

What do you mean by "seems similar"?! Aren't you sure what your last name is?!

Upon hearing this, Yi Xing couldn't help but inwardly complain.
