The strongest high school student in Japan

"Do you even need to ask that?" Minister Omi blinked. "He came here because of you. How could he have come back without you leading the way? So this is a reward based on merit!"

Asana and Jun Mogami could both hear what Minister Omi was hinting at, but at this point they didn't dare to create any more trouble, so they obeyed her request.

Then, several people stood together and took a group photo.

At this time, the ink on the rice paper was almost dry. The girls carefully rolled it up, put the scroll into a special bag, and handed it to Mogami Jun.

"Thank you for your care. I feel very honored to be here and to meet you all." Mogami Jun made a farewell speech. "I hope we will have the chance to meet next time. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mogami-san!" The girls bowed one after another and watched him and Asana leave the club room.

"Ah... it's finally over..." As soon as he walked out, Asana let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at Mogami Jun with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Mogami, I just wanted to bring you here for a tour, but ended up causing you so much trouble..."

"No, it's not a problem at all. It's a very pleasant experience for me." Mogami Jun answered seriously, "I haven't met such a talented peer for a long time. I like to meet such people."

Although it was a bit awkward just now, overall Jun Mogami was indeed very happy.

Staying in a room with a group of girls, and being given a scroll she drew by the talented senior Omi.

If you think about it, it’s pretty happy, right?

No, it’s more than just happy, I’m actually excited. I made a lot of money!

"Although Omi-senpai likes to play tricks on others sometimes, she is really good. I admire her a lot. I wish I could be as good as her someday." Asana nodded, agreeing with Mogami Jun's opinion. "However, it's a pity that Umemiya-senpai is not here today, otherwise it would be even more perfect if she wrote something else... If you like, I might as well ask her again if there is a chance, and ask her to give you a little souvenir as well?"

"Ah?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

At this moment, he recalled that Asana seemed to have said just now that Senior Umemiya's calligraphy was very good.

"Whose calligraphy is better, Umemiya-senpai or Omi-senpai?" asked Mogami Jun.

"Of course Umemiya-senpai is better, everyone recognizes that!" Asana answered without any hesitation. "Umemiya-senpai would come over to guide us from time to time, and thanks to her, I have improved a lot."

Wow!

He had witnessed Senior Omi's calligraphy with his own eyes. It was truly beautiful and a level he could never reach. However, Asana actually said directly that Umemiya Natsuki was better, and it was recognized by all.

That cannot be described as talent at all; it should be considered as the ability of a calligrapher.

This Meigong Xia Fei, really can't be underestimated...

"Since Senior Umemiya is so good at calligraphy and comes here so often, why doesn't she become a club leader?" Mogami Jun was a little confused. "Is it because she doesn't want to be distracted after entering the third year of high school?"

"That's not the reason." Asana shook her head. "Umemiya-senpai has other hobbies. She's the director of the drama club! Every holiday, we go to watch their rehearsals. Umemiya-senpai's acting is amazing. She can bring any role to life. I admire her so much."

I'm great at calligraphy and acting. Are you trying to make things difficult for me?

Being good at calligraphy means having strong abstract thinking skills, and being good at acting at least means having great eloquence and a solid foundation in dialogue delivery.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like an impenetrable fortress.

It seems that I was too confident before. Who said that girls' schools can't have talented people? !

Not to mention beating three or five people alone, it seems that even beating Meigong Xia Fei alone is not certain - no wonder Meigong Xia Fei is so proud, she really has the capital to be proud.

Jun Mogami kept in mind all the information he got from Asana. Now he no longer dared to be as arrogant and underestimate the enemy as before. Instead, he became cautious.

"Thank you for telling me this, Asana." He nodded to express his gratitude. "By the way, why were you selected for this competition?"

He really didn't look down on Asana, but no matter how he looked at it, Asana's shy personality didn't seem like the type who could debate well. It would be a bit difficult for her to debate with others.

She easily gives in to others. Thinking back carefully, Mogami Jun found that Asana never seemed to disagree with his opinions. Her personality was indeed too docile.

It's really strange that such a person was dragged into the debate.

"This... was Umemiya-senpai's insistence." Izumo Asana blushed slightly and lowered her head. "She said that I back down too easily in front of others, and that I would suffer in the future if I entered society. So I should practice how to confront others and stick to my own opinions and principles. So... so... she designated me to participate in the competition. Since she is the captain, the school agreed after considering it."

Isn't Umemiya Natsuki the same as me? She uses the authority given to her by the school to make demands, Mogami Jun thought.

Wasting a precious spot just for this reason? It's like treating the competition as a game that is not worth mentioning.

While Jun Mogami found it funny, he was also a little annoyed, feeling that he was being looked down upon.

Let my right hand break your pride!

"As expected... Mogami, you must find it funny..." Asana's face turned even redder because of Mogami Jun's strange silence, "For someone like me to debate... I find it difficult myself."

But soon, she raised her head again, her eyes full of enthusiasm, "But since I have been chosen by Senior Umemiya, I will work hard. In order not to let Senior Umemiya down, I will use all my skills to help Senior Umemiya, even... even if the opponent is on your side, I will fight to the end!"

"Oh? Please go easy on me." Mogami Jun was not nervous at all. "By the way, Izumo, since you have joined the debate team, you must have practiced regularly, right? How do you usually practice?"

"It's just a normal practice... nothing strange," Asana answered in a daze. "We picked a few debate topics, and then we played the roles of the pros and cons and started the debate. I was a little awkward at first, but then I got more proficient - hey... hey!"

At this time, she finally reacted, and then looked at Mogami Jun with wide eyes, "Are you spying on me?"

"How come?" Mogami Jun smiled and shook his head, "I was just asking casually."

"This is clearly spying!" Asana didn't believe it at all and looked at him seriously, "Please don't ask me about this anymore. I...I won't betray my seniors!"

"Then what if I keep asking?" Mogami Jun asked deliberately in a serious tone. "Will you hit me and scold me?"

Asana blushed and then answered.

"Then I...then I'll run away! I'll come back when you stop asking."

"Hahahaha...hahahaha! That's really like your personality." Mogami Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Okay, don't worry, I won't force you to answer. I know my limits. You have your stance, and I have no right to force you to stand on my side. A competition is a competition."

"Ah...thank you." Asana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have another question..." Mogami Jun suddenly asked, "Why did you tell our classmates about our affairs? How come they all know..."

This... this... Asana was extremely ashamed, and lowered her head with a red face. Then she suddenly bowed to Mogami Jun and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Can you please forgive me..."

"Ah, don't react so strongly." Mogami Jun felt a little sorry, "I'm just a little weird, girls usually don't say things like this."

"For a while... because of this incident, I was a little uneasy. I thought about many things over and over again, and then... then..." Izumo Asana sighed, "In the calligraphy club, they asked me questions at the same time, which confused me. In my confusion, I accidentally let the secret slip, and as a result... as a result, not long after, everyone knew it."

I see……

That's indeed the case. It's true that Asana easily lets things slip when she's being questioned. She doesn't have much scheming to begin with, so others can roughly understand what's going on with just a few words from her.

No wonder Minister Omi and the others looked at me like that when I came here.

I just don't know how Asana describes herself.

Forget it... Let's not ask this question. Whether it's good or bad, it's embarrassing.

Then, the two of them walked side by side while chatting, and the distance between them unknowingly became much closer.

Perhaps because there were no parents around today, Jun Mogami and Asana both subconsciously relaxed a lot and the conversation went much more smoothly.

"By the way, Mogami, do you remember last time... the last time we talked, you mentioned a place? Talking about monkeys or something..." Asana suddenly asked in a low voice.

"The Great Rift Valley of East Africa?" Jun Mogami recalled for a moment and then asked back.

"Yes, it's the Great Rift Valley of East Africa." Asana nodded. "I went back to school and looked it up, and finally figured out what you meant... It turns out that it means that it is precisely because of human curiosity and the courage to try that humans are able to leave their homeland and spread all over the world."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Jun Mogami nodded, and then asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Didn't your school teach the theory of evolution?"

Logically speaking, as long as you have taken biology classes, this shouldn't be the case.

"Although our school has biology classes, we don't teach the theory of evolution..." Asana shook her head. "Our school was founded by a church a long time ago. Although it has been privately operated for a long time, it is still a bit stubborn in this regard, so it has never taught similar knowledge. I only looked up the information after you mentioned it, so thank you for letting me learn new knowledge..."

"It doesn't matter. It's nothing to worry about." Mogami Jun smiled.

Almost all of the first girls' schools in Japan had a church background. Some of them have continued to this day and become famous girls' schools. However, they do not even teach things like evolution, which is indeed a bit stubborn.

Forget it, the young ladies can live well even if they don’t learn these things, so it doesn’t matter.

In this way, Jun Mogami and Asana walked and stopped along the way, visiting most places in the school. It was not until the evening that Asana brought Jun Mogami back to the accommodation designated by the school for these foreign visitors.

The two people said goodbye downstairs, and Jun Mogami walked over by himself and entered the small building.

When he came into the small living room, he found that his teammates were already sitting there.

"Good afternoon." He greeted casually.

But he soon realized something was wrong, because after seeing him, they didn't move, but just looked at him with strange eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You're acting so weird all of a sudden..."

"Hey, Mogami, what's going on with your fiancée?" His two teammates, Matsushima Shota and Okabe Kaoru, looked at him with excitement and jealousy.

"I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Mogami..." Even the usually calm Hirofumi Hanyu looked at him with curiosity.

Oh, I found a serious problem in the previous article...

When Jun Mogami made the promise to Minister Omi, the word that came out of his mouth was NDS. This... was written in subconsciously.

But if you think about it carefully, the time period is wrong. From today's perspective, NDS is already an ancient relic... So, readers are requested to use their imagination to imagine it as a cutting-edge handheld game console released by Nintendo around 15 years ago. The time period of this book is probably around this period.

Alas, I am really old...

154, Debate

Jun Mogami, who had just come out of his excitement, was now bathed in the curious or jealous gazes of his companions and felt embarrassed.

It's really not just embarrassing.

It must be Aoki Yu who was traveling with them who told them!

By now he had naturally figured it out. The sudden disappearance of several teammates was definitely the work of Umemiya Natsuki and the others (of course Asana probably wasn't aware of it at the time).

Umemiya Natsuki must have known about her blind date with Izumo Asana a long time ago, and she deliberately ordered Aoki Yu to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone. As a result, Aoki Yu completed the task and told his teammates all about it.

This is really a big headache...

It's not just an embarrassing problem, there's a more serious problem -

What should we do if it is sent back to our school? !

"That's not true! It's completely slanderous and a lie." Mogami Jun answered calmly, "You guys wouldn't still believe in such things at this age, would you?"

The first step, of course, is to try to muddle through.

Unfortunately, the teammates' sight proved that this step was a complete failure.

"Come on, stop covering it up now, Mogami." Matsushima Shouta was the first to complain, "Didn't you guys already go to the shrine to meet and date, and then draw lots for fate? It doesn't look like a rumor at all—"

…………Even this is said out loud, this is really… Jun Mogami cursed Aoki Yu in his heart for wanting the world to be in chaos.

"We went on a blind date, so what?" At this point, Mogami Jun was too lazy to argue, so he simply answered, "That doesn't prove that she is my fiancée. In fact, we are over."

"It's over...what does that mean?" asked Kaoru Okabe.

"That's exactly what it says." Mogami Jun's expression remained unchanged. "I refused, so now the whole plan is ruined."

"Huh? Rejected?! Such a pretty girl, with a good personality, and she's a lady, why did you reject her?" Shota Matsushima was shocked. "Is there something unpleasant about her?"

"I don't hate her. It has nothing to do with hating her. I just rejected her, that's all." Because the situation was really complicated and involved the privacy of my grandfather and the Izumo family, Mogami Jun was too lazy to explain so much. He was also a little impatient. After all, everyone would feel uncomfortable if they were constantly asked about their privacy. "Besides, we are here to compete, not to talk about girls, right? What's the point of always asking me about this?"

Seeing that Jun Mogami had a bad look on his face, Shota Matsushima and Kaoru Okabe didn't dare to ask any more questions. Even though they had all kinds of curiosity in their hearts, they could only suppress it in their hearts.

"Okay, let's not discuss other people's private affairs. This is not good." Seeing that everyone was unhappy, the kind-hearted Hanyu Hirofumi came out to smooth things over. "It is Mogami-san's freedom to decide how to deal with his own affairs. Since he doesn't want to talk about it, we should stop asking. This will only embarrass him."

Then he reminded everyone, "We'd better keep this a secret for him. No one should tell anyone when we return to school, otherwise it might bring him unnecessary trouble. After all, we are teammates, so we should help each other, right? No one wants to be criticized by others, right?"

"Okay, I understand." Shota Matsushima and Fumio Okabe nodded, agreeing to Hirofumi Hanyu's request.

Then, everyone tacitly changed the topic and began to discuss tomorrow's debate.

Late at night, the teenagers dispersed and went to bed. While the other two were away, Mogami Jun took the opportunity to thank Hanyu Hirofumi alone.

"Thank you, squad leader, for helping me out."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do," Hanyu Hirofumi replied. "In essence, Mr. Ikawa brought me into the team so that I can play a role at a time like this... to smooth things over for you."

Then he smiled again.

"If you want to thank me, then please work hard tomorrow and bring honor to our school!"

"Well, I'll try my best." Jun Mogami nodded.

Although he actually doesn't have much confidence now.

............................................................

The night passed quickly and the game day finally arrived.

Just after they got up, washed and had breakfast, Teacher Saito came to the small building and led them through the paths in the campus to the auditorium that had been temporarily converted into a competition venue.

Although this is a girls' high school, the format and specifications of the auditorium seem to be no different from those of Jun Mogami's school, so Jun Mogami and his classmates easily adapted to the venue.
