My sister never calls me brother.

Zhou Han had his head down, so his expression was not visible.

The students' gloating voices gradually rose, and they uttered all sorts of unpleasant words like "serves him right" and "loser."

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

A loud laugh rang out, and the gloating students fell silent, searching for the source of the sound in surprise. Their eyes all locked onto Zhou Han, who was standing on the podium, hands on her hips, laughing loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhou Han stopped laughing and strode towards the single table next to the trash can, saying loudly as she walked, "I didn't expect they'd save me a private seat. Nobody should try to take this private room from me. This place is too expensive for most people, and I can throw away trash and spit anytime. It's super convenient!"

Lin Nianwei remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard at all, but she quickly flipped through several pages of "Jane Eyre" in her hands.

Gu Bai gave her a strange look.

Miyazaki Airi looked at Zhou Han, seemingly lost in thought, and stopped offering a polite smile in response to the blond-haired boy's incessant chatter.

Zhou Han wiped the table and sat down silently, as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, since Zhou Han has no objections, then let's leave the seating arrangement as is..." The homeroom teacher paused, "Everyone is new to this class and feels quite unfamiliar with each other. Now, let's all introduce ourselves! Let's start from the back and work our way forward, beginning with the left side."

Zhou Han was stunned. Did this mean she had to stand up as soon as she sat down?

Zhou Han stood up somewhat impatiently, opened her mouth, then hesitated...

Actually, he had prepared two versions of his self-introduction. One version was—

My name is Zhou Han, and I hope to get along well with everyone.

Another version is—

"My name is Zhou Han. As you can see, I'm a bad student, so don't mess with me. I'll show you the consequences of messing with me with my fists. Being in the same class as you guys makes me feel annoyed and disgusted..."

Zhou Han finished speaking with a smile.

For some reason, the smile looked stiff.

Chapter Six: Three Small Circles

After Zhou Han finished speaking, she sat down silently.

The students all looked at Zhou Han with unfriendly expressions, their eyes filled with disgust. This wave of ridicule was truly deeply ingrained in their minds.

There are quite a few people in the new class who want to make a good impression, but it is extremely rare to find someone like Zhou Han, who offends all his classmates right from the start.

"Zhou Han's corny joke was pretty good, and she even used such a novel way to introduce herself, ha...ha..." Class teacher Zhang Qiang chuckled dryly, thinking to himself, "Looks like there are quite a few problem students in this class..."

"Next one," Zhang Qiang continued, organizing the group.

"Is it finally my turn?" The chuunibyou boy stood up, covering his left eye. "I am the Demon King from the Dark Continent, commanding a million-strong demon army and having countless concubines. And what is my name? I am—"

The chuunibyou boy ripped off his blindfold, revealing red eyes that gleamed with an eerie light. "My name is Hunter Lydson!"

After saying that, he put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.

The homeroom teacher, Zhang Qiang, said expressionlessly, "This student, please speak like a human being."

"Ah... okay." The chuunibyou boy was a little embarrassed when no one paid attention to him. "My name is Li Yang."

"Alright, Li Yang, please sit down. Next..." Class teacher Zhang Qiang was about to call the next student.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yang raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Qiang asked, somewhat surprised.

"I haven't introduced my partner yet!" Li Yang said as he took out his backpack and pulled out a Chinese rural dog dressed as Superman, commonly known as a "country dog," which was sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail.

“This guy is my partner,” Li Yang said mysteriously. “You think it’s just an ordinary mongrel? You’re so wrong. Its true identity is Fenrir, the giant wolf from Norse mythology!”

The whole class was silent for two seconds.

"Okay, I got it." Class teacher Zhang Qiang paused, then said, "Tomorrow, leave your contact lenses and pet dog at home, or come to my office for tea. Next!"

"Hmph! What foolish humans." Li Yang sat down with dissatisfaction, turned around and pointed at Zhou Han, saying in a childish tone, "Brother, your self-introduction just now was very much to my liking. I'm quite fond of you!"

Hey! Don't talk to me like that, chuunibyou is contagious! Zhou Han was speechless.

“I’ve already figured it out. You’re also a native of the Dark Continent, right? Our personalities are destined to clash with these foolish humans. Should we launch my Demon King Army to wipe them out? That’s a question worth pondering…” Li Yang actually stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"Woof!" The mongrel in Li Yang's arms barked at Zhou Han, wagging its tail incessantly, looking very cute.

Zhou Han smiled, looking at the dog with kind eyes, but her real thoughts were—

A mongrel!? Never eaten this before? What does it taste like...?

Zhou Han subconsciously reached out to touch it, and the stray dog ​​bit her hand without hesitation.

"Ugh..." Zhou Han covered his hands, thinking in horror, "I can feel the deep malice this stray dog ​​harbors towards me..."

"Huh!? Why would Fenrir attack you?" Li Yang looked at Zhou Han incredulously. "I know! Are you sent by the Holy See to spy on me?! You hypocrites are truly impossible to guard against!"

"Get out!" Zhou Han said expressionlessly.

"Ahem!" The talkative blond guy stood up. "Finally, it's my turn to introduce myself..."

Zhou Han looked up.

"My name is Feng Jiarui, and I'm Gu Bai's best friend..."

"You're really talking nonsense. Gu Bai's best friend? I've never seen you in first grade. Are you sure you didn't just meet this morning?" Zhou Han pouted.

In fact, Feng Jiarui just wanted to use Gu Bai's popularity to improve his own image. He was very good at leveraging others' strengths when he was weak.

Then Feng Jiarui launched into a long, ten-minute speech, recounting her entire student life.

“Feng Jiarui…” Class teacher Zhang Qiang pointed to his watch, kindly reminding him, “Time…”

"Sorry! I accidentally said too much..." Feng Jiarui scratched his head and sat down.

"Tch! You're so annoying, always talking like a baby!" the hot-tempered girl said to Feng Jiarui with dissatisfaction.

"Huh!?" Feng Jiarui felt confused.

The fiery girl stood up and said, "I'll only say my name once. If you can't remember it, don't come asking me again. My name is Liu Yue. I love music and I'm currently in the school's guitar club. That's all!"

After Liu Yue finished speaking, he sat down with a dashing air, looking decisive and efficient.

"Here, here!" The red-haired girl next to Liu Yue had already stood up impatiently. "My name is Wang Qianqian. As you can see, I'm a very cute and cheerful girl. As for whether I have someone I like... that's a secret! Okay, now let my husband introduce himself..."

"Pfft—!" Zhou Han spat out her drink. Wang Qianqian's words were way too blatant! The person she likes is a secret? Everyone knows the next person to introduce themselves is Gu Bai; isn't this just a naked confession?

The whole class looked at Gu Bai, wanting to see how he would handle the situation.

Gu Bai looked embarrassed and quietly said to Lin Nianwei, "Lin Nianwei, can you help me?"

Lin Nianwei sighed, closed the book in her hand, and slowly stood up.

Wang Qianqian looked disappointed, glaring at Lin Nianwei through gritted teeth, thinking, "So what if she's a little more popular? What's with the arrogance? She actually ruined my plans!"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not your husband." After saying that to Wang Qianqian, Lin Nianwei looked straight ahead and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Nianwei."

After saying that, he sat down and continued reading, without any hesitation.

"..." Zhou Han was embarrassed. Although she remembered that her daughter was not very talkative when she was a child, she was even less talkative now. Moreover, it was rare for her to help someone out of an awkward situation...

"Okay...okay..." Class teacher Zhang Qiang was a little uncomfortable, "Next...next one..."

Gu Bai stood up, looking sunny and handsome, and said, "My name is Gu Bai. I'm so lucky to be in this class. I'll be able to make so many new friends. If anyone needs any help, please feel free to come to me. Although my abilities are limited, I will do my best..."

After Gu Bai finished his self-introduction, enthusiastic applause rang out.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Zhou Han thought to herself. People like Gu Bai are probably used to being the center of attention, and it's impossible to find any flaws in them.

"Hmph!" Li Yang covered his left eye and said, "The throbbing pain in my left eye tells me that this glowing male human is a hypocrite!"

"Stop talking, I can smell the sourness..." Zhou Han complained.

"Next is the last item: electing the class monitor. Does anyone have anyone to recommend?" said Zhang Qiang, the class teacher.

"I recommend Lin Nianwei!"

"What?! Was that your boys' choice? I think Gu Bai is better!"

“I think Miyazaki is also good. He’s an international friend, which better reflects the diversity of our class.”

Although the students had different opinions and held their own views, there were essentially three candidates: Gu Bai, Lin Nianwei, and Miyazaki Airi.

"It seems like everyone only recommended three people, so I'll ask for their opinions." Zhang Qiang asked Lin Nianwei, "Lin Nianwei..."

"No." Lin Nianwei refused outright before the homeroom teacher could finish asking.

"Uh..." Zhang Qiang looked embarrassed and turned to ask Gu Bai, "Gu Bai, do you want to be the class monitor?"

"If everyone requests it, I will take on this responsibility," Gu Bai replied with a smile.

"And what about Miyazaki-san?"

"I have no experience and I'm afraid of letting everyone down..." Miyazaki Airi said demurely.

After thinking for a moment, the homeroom teacher, Zhang Qiang, nodded and said, "Then how about this, Gu Bai will be the class monitor and manage all the affairs of the class, and Miyazaki will be the vice class monitor to assist Gu Bai in handling affairs."

The students nodded, showing little to no objection.

Miyazaki got promoted to vice class monitor so quickly after arriving; this world that judges by appearance is doomed! Zhou Han was getting a little frustrated.

"Alright, welcome everyone to Class 2-3," Zhang Qiang concluded.

After the morning meeting of the new class, the learning process officially began. Due to Zhou Han's unpleasant self-introduction, almost no one paid any attention to him.

Aside from Li Yang, the guy at the front of the class with a delusional temper, who was chatting with Zhou Han casually, probably treating Zhou Han as a friend? Or maybe the two of them were just sticking together for warmth.

Airi Miyazaki became a popular figure in the class, attracting a large crowd, most of whom were curious about this Japanese girl and asked her about Japanese affairs.

Watching Miyazaki Airi chatting away, Zhou Han felt an indescribable sense of desolation.

Even if Miyazaki Airi hadn't warned Zhou Han last night not to tell anyone that the two of them knew each other...

Given the current situation, Zhou Han would never dare to tell anyone that he knows Miyazaki Airi, because he doesn't even have the courage to strike up a conversation. If he did, people would probably think he's delusional, and he'd get into all sorts of trouble.

Although it was a new class, three small cliques quickly formed, led by Gu Bai, Lin Nianwei, and Miyazaki Airi, as well as lone individuals like Zhou Han and Li Yang.

Perhaps some people are destined to be protagonists. Someone like Gu Bai got involved with two super popular beauties as soon as school started, became Lin Nianwei's deskmate, and became the class monitor and vice monitor with Miyazaki Airi.

If I happen to spark a romance with any of them in the future, it will be the envy of everyone.

Zhou Han seems to have a natural bad luck. After being alone for a long time, she inevitably envies those who have their own small circles of friends, but she finds it difficult to join them. She has to pretend to be a bad student, build up an impenetrable wall around herself, and shout the victory slogan "I don't care".

Zhou Han glanced silently at the trash can beside her and thought to herself, "It seems my high school life is going to end like this. It's exactly the same as my junior high school days."
