The strongest high school student in Japan

The last rays of sunset were about to disappear, and Jun Mogami and Shion Sagihara were returning to school the same way they had come, but this time, they were each carrying two boxes in their hands.

Sagihara Shion walked beside Mogami Jun with her head down, looking like she was worried about something. Mogami Jun could understand her feelings, so he didn't say much and just walked quietly.

It was not until they arrived at the school gate that Mogami Jun spoke again.

"Senior, please be more careful next time and don't run into him alone again."

"Yeah, I know." Sagihara Shion nodded slightly.

In order to avoid the patrol police, Sagihara Masao ran away. Now he is like a frightened bird and will not cause trouble for the time being. However, judging from his behavior, he will probably not give up. Mogami Jun can only remind Sagihara senior to be extra careful in the future.

"But no matter what, at least the situation is much better now, so don't worry, senior." In order to relax the atmosphere, Mogami Jun laughed, "Senior is safe now, and has temporarily come to a place where you don't have to pay rent, which saves a huge amount of expenses."

"This is all thanks to you. I really appreciate you..." Sagihara Shion bowed her head solemnly to Mogami Jun, "I have said similar things many times, but every time I meant it sincerely."

"Okay, okay, senior sister, you don't have to be so polite, otherwise I will feel a little embarrassed." Mogami Jun waved his hand.

Then he stopped talking.

"What's wrong, Jun-kun?" Sagihara Shion was a little curious about his reaction.

"Actually, there's something I want to ask you..." Mogami Jun said in a low voice.

"What questions do you have? Jun-kun is surprisingly curious." Sagihara Shion smiled bitterly, "Please feel free to ask."

"Senior, you just said that you donated all the money, right? Not a penny left?" Mogami Jun asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I've said it several times." Sagihara Shion nodded.

"So, how did you afford the rent and tuition these years?" Mogami Jun asked again, "Although the rent is very cheap, it is not a small amount when added up. And although our school has scholarships and subsidies, the expenses are still quite high. Senior, even if you think at the lowest level, the expenses in these years must be at least more than one million, right? And you usually work in the library and don't have a part-time job, so how did you afford it?"

Sagihara Shion froze.

Jun Mogami was as sharp as ever, which sometimes frightened her.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me, senior. Everyone has the right to have their own secrets." Seeing Sagihara Shion's expression, Mogami Jun didn't want to ask any more questions.

It's not like he didn't think of an explanation.

For example, the mother may have other inheritance, or some donation from kind-hearted people, etc.

And the worst suspicion... He hated himself for suspecting this, so he didn't want to mention it. He didn't believe that the senior would do that.

He continued walking forward, ready to skip this topic.

"No, Jun-kun, stop." Sagihara Shion actually called him.

"Hmm?" Mogami Jun was a little confused.

"Since Jun-kun has already said this, I must reveal everything." Sagihara Shion raised her head and looked at Mogami Jun, her eyes shining. "I won't allow myself to be doubted by you, not at all! So, even if it's too painful to look back, I have to tell you."

"Then please go ahead." Jun Mogami nodded.

"Do you know Hyoudou Takako?" Senior Sagihara asked again.

“…I don’t have any impression.” Jun Mogami shook his head.

"That's right. She's three grades ahead of me and already a college student. It's normal that you haven't heard of her." Sagihara Shion smiled, then sighed bitterly, "I got the money to support my life in the past few years from her, a total of two million."

"So many?!" Jun Mogami was a little surprised.

"It's a lot for us, but it's just some pocket money for her... After all, she's the eldest daughter of a chaebol family." Sagihara Shion still smiled bitterly, "I don't want to say much about her. I just want to tell you that she is a very, very bad person with a terrible personality. We made a bet at the time, and I barely won, so I won two million from her, but the price was... 700CC of blood was drawn. She didn't want me to bet money, she just wanted my blood."

"So many!?" Jun Mogami was shocked.

The lethal amount of blood loss for an adult is around 1500 to 2000CC, but Sakihara-senpai is thin and was even younger at the time, so 700CC is probably close to the lethal amount.

"Yes, a lot. So much so that I almost thought I was dead." Senior Sister Luyuan shuddered, seeming to be still a little frightened. "That was the closest time for me to death. Fortunately, I survived and won the bet."

A tragic victory.

One question led to too many questions, and suddenly Jun Mogami didn't know where to start.

"Hyoudou..." Mogami Jun frowned.

27. Flash

"Hyoudou..."

Jun Mogami searched his memory and remembered that his father had mentioned this surname to him not long ago.

"Is it the Hyoudou family from the Teiai Group?" he asked.

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of the famous Teiai Group." Sagihara Shion nodded, and then continued, "She... is the granddaughter of the head of the Hyodo family and the chairman of the Teiai Group."

She is indeed the eldest daughter of a chaebol. No wonder she is so generous.

"Oh..." Mogami Jun responded, "That senior is really amazing. She actually dared to compete with her. Most people would be scared when they see such a young lady."

"I had no other choice at the time. I had to find a way to raise tuition, but I didn't want to... I didn't want to do those dirty things, so I could only try my best." Sagihara Shion lowered her head a little embarrassedly. "Also, at that time, because of my mother's death, I was very depressed. I thought that if I died because of the bet, it would be good, and I could see my mother earlier. So I gave up on myself a little. Maybe it was because of this mentality that I finally got through it."

Then, she continued to explain, "At that time, we gambled with cards. She deliberately designed a way to play and re-specified the rules. Then she used money as the stakes and I used blood as the stakes. The game lasted about two hours, and each round was limited in time. She was very powerful and kept suppressing me, causing me to lose blood and bet continuously. In the end, I was desperate and thought that I might as well die. In an absolutely unfavorable situation, I added all the blood that could cause death. As a result... at the last moment, luck made me win. At that time, she was very surprised and asked me if I really wanted to die. I fainted without even being able to speak. Finally, I woke up in the hospital and found that she had paid for the treatment and gave me all the money I won... Although her personality is very bad, she is quite trustworthy."

Although Sagihara Shion is downplaying it now, Mogami Jun can imagine what kind of mentality she had when she fought this desperate battle, and what kind of terrible torment she went through.

She was a junior high school student at the time, and someone drained 700cc of her blood from her. It's creepy just to think about it.

What kind of people are Hyodou Takako and the chairman of the Teiai Group, Hyodou Kazutsugu, to do such a thing?

Thinking about the fact that his father wanted him to attend Hyoudou Kazutsugu's reception... Jun Mogami couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"That Hyoudou-senpai, you juniors may not have heard of her, but when she was in school, no one dared to mess with her!" Senior Sagihara shuddered again, recalling those past memories, "On the one hand, she came from a privileged family, and on the other hand, she was amazing. Yes, she was so amazing that people even felt like they were not the same species as her! It was only after she graduated and was admitted to the University of Tokyo that everyone breathed a sigh of relief."

Hyoudou Takako is currently studying at the University of Tokyo? This is really amazing. Mogami Jun suddenly became interested in the senior of the senior.

Generally speaking, because there is not much pressure at home and they can inherit their parents' business at a young age, the children of chaebols will not study too hard. Anyway, there are plenty of high-quality private universities (such as Sophia University, etc.) waiting for them to enter, and few of them will work so hard to get into the University of Tokyo.

On the other hand, if young people from chaebol families are able to get into the University of Tokyo, then their intelligence and self-discipline are indisputably superior to others.

As for character and morality, that is a question of another dimension.

If I were to fight her, would I be able to defeat her? Mogami Jun thought.

So, Senior Sister, what kind of bet did you make at that time? And how did you win? He couldn't help but want to ask again.

After a moment he shook his head again and dropped the question.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and go back first."

He knew that this would not be a good memory for Senior Sagihara. After all, it was a nightmare of escaping death. If he asked more questions, it would only make her recall those psychological traumas. There was no need to do this just to satisfy his curiosity. It didn't matter if he didn't know the specific details.

After all, as long as he knew that the senior student did not rely on "that method" to raise tuition and living expenses, he felt at ease.

Although he didn't know why he had to worry about this, he felt relieved.

Because the misunderstanding had been resolved, the two of them started walking again at the same time and headed towards the school.

Although students leaving school after evening self-study passed by from time to time, the two of them ignored them and the gazes of those who noticed them, and continued walking forward.

"Although I barely made it through, I still have psychological trauma, so I never tell anyone about it. Sometimes I even have nightmares at night, dreaming of her looking at me coldly... too cold." Sagihara Shion took a breath of cold air, with a lingering fear on her face. "But I don't want to be misunderstood by Junjun, so I must speak out."

"Senior, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have thought so much about it." Mogami Jun apologized sincerely, "But... I want to make it clear that I have never thought about it in that direction. I don't believe that someone as proud and self-respecting as Senior Sister would do such a thing."

"Okay, don't argue about this!" Sagihara Shion suddenly covered his mouth, then looked at him with a smile, "Now, Jun-kun, I have told you the last secret in my heart. Although I have only known you for a few days, I feel like you have seen my entire life. It's a little embarrassing."

Although she was complaining, Mogami Jun clearly saw a smile of relief on her face.

She looks so radiant, and really beautiful.

Maybe it is also a kind of luck to find someone you can confide secrets to.

"Don't worry, senior, I will keep your secret deep in my heart and won't share it with anyone else." Mogami Jun replied, "Also - in fact, although you have only known me for a few days, I have noticed you for several years."

"Ah? What's wrong?!" Sagihara Shion exclaimed. "You... have been paying attention to me for a long time?"

"It's not that serious, I'm not a voyeur." Mogami Jun explained with a wry smile, "It's just... I often go to the library, and I often see the senior sister writing furiously, and then I noticed it. Other than that, I didn't do anything else, and I didn't ask about the senior sister's situation, so when the senior sister took the initiative to talk to me, I was very excited. I thought I would just watch the senior sister graduate from high school and leave the school."

Senior Sagihara didn't answer, but just tilted her head and looked at him quietly. After a long time, she sighed softly.

"I see... It seems that all coincidences are destined to come from inevitability... This is fate, right?"

"I can't tell for sure about something as mysterious as fate, but..." Mogami Jun deliberately prolonged his tone, "At least senior doesn't want to give up her dream now, right?"

"Yes, that's right! Of course I have to continue, and I have to be more dedicated than before." Sagihara Shion nodded as a matter of course, "I am not just working hard for myself now. If I give up now, wouldn't all of Junjun's efforts be in vain? I'm not such an ungrateful person! So I have to continue, I want to become a best-selling novel writer! There must be such a day!"

She was radiant, all the gloom of that day had been swept away, and vitality returned to her.

This is exactly what Jun Mogami wants to see most.

He saw the brilliance in Sagihara Shion again, and the kind of sparkle that was different from the ordinary. These sparkles are what make Sagihara Shion different from others, and also her most precious thing.

What made him even more proud was that these flashes were once on the verge of extinguishing and he saved them with his own hands.

This is tantamount to proving to oneself that one is also extraordinary.

This feeling is very good.

"Really? That makes me feel relieved." He smiled slightly and looked at her calmly, "So, Senior Sister, do we still have to continue our agreement?"

"Chun-jun, you're so cunning. Are you trying to make trouble for me?" Sagihara Shion bit her lip and glanced at him. "You obviously know the answer!"

"Okay, then I'll just assume that the senior wants us to continue with our agreement. We'll meet at the library next week." Mogami Jun nodded with a smile.

"Well, see you next week. Jun-kun must come." Sagihara Shion smiled, squinted her eyes, and nodded.

But after a moment, the smile on her face disappeared, and she shook her head again. "I'm still a little unwilling..."

"Ah? What are you unwilling to accept?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

"I... my current experiences have been laid out in front of Chun-jun, but I know nothing about Chun-jun's past. I always feel unwilling." Sagihara Shion bit her lip lightly, "If Chun-jun wants to talk to me about your experiences, I will always be available to listen. Just... just treat it as accumulating material for the novel. I want to write a character like Chun-jun!"

As she spoke, she looked at Jun Mogami expectantly, her eyes sparkling.

Uh... Jun Mogami was speechless for a moment.

Actually, I am a time traveler from the continent west of the ocean, hahaha... Of course he couldn't say such words, and there was no need to say them.

"I don't have any special experiences..." He finally answered hesitantly, "Generally speaking, my life over the past decade has been quite ordinary. It's just that studying was a little hard, but that's not something worth talking about."

"If it was really so plain, I don't think Jun-kun would be so special." Sagihara Shion shook her head, not quite agreeing with his statement, "I think Jun-kun must have had some kind of opportunity to become what he is now. Tell me about it, maybe Jun-kun himself doesn't feel many things?"

"Okay... then I will recall my life carefully later to see if there are any interesting opportunities. If there are any, I will share them with you." Seeing that the senior was so persistent in wanting to know about his past, Mogami Jun could only reluctantly agree first.

"It's settled then!" Sagihara Shion nodded with a smile.

By this time, they had already reached the downstairs of the classroom apartment.

There were some female teachers living here, so it was not convenient for Jun Mogami to go up, so he could only stop here.

"Senior, I can only trouble you to carry the things twice." He apologized and put down the box in his hand. "I hope you and Teacher Chunchi can get along well."

"I will definitely do that." Sagihara Shion responded, "Teacher Chunchi is very easy to talk to. It will definitely be fun to get along with her."

"I think so." Mogami Jun bowed slightly and said goodbye to the senior, "Well, goodbye then."

Then he turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of quick footsteps behind him, and then he felt a slight pressure on both sides of his back.

Then, the feeling of pressure came to my neck, as if Sagihara-senpai had pressed her face against it.

"Senior..." Jun Mogami stopped.

"Thank you. I will never forget everything you have done for me." Sagihara Shion buried her face in his coat, gently breathing in the scent of the fabric. "Although... although I am not a very capable person, but... if Jun-kun needs me in the future, please speak up as soon as possible. No matter how difficult it is, I will help you."

How else can I answer at this time?

Jun Mogami still didn't move, but just nodded slightly.

"Okay, senior sister, please take care of me when the time comes."

Under the moonlight, their shadows stuck together. After an unknown amount of time, the pressure on their backs gradually disappeared.

"Goodbye, Chun-kun."

28. Shepherd

After saying goodbye to his senior, Jun Mogami left the school and started his journey home.

It's already evening and there's quite a bit of noise on the streets as people returning home from get off work finally have time to rest.

The wind blowing in his face was so warm, gently caressing Jun Mogami's face, and there seemed to be some kind of touch lingering on his back, as if there was someone clinging to his back.
