The strongest high school student in Japan

"Chun-kun, please don't look at me like that, okay? It really feels cold...very cold...this is what I fear the most!"

Her already weak figure seemed even weaker at this moment. Her body was shaking slightly and she looked terrified, which made Mogami Jun feel a little sad.

He quickly reached out and supported Sagihara Shion.

"Senior, don't be afraid. I'm not angry with you right now. I'm just... I'm just in a state of habitual alert. This is not directed at you. Please understand. After all - what you said is the truth, and you didn't slander my father."

Seeing that Jun Mogami still treated her as always, Sagihara Shion finally calmed down. She slowly raised her head and looked at Jun Mogami's face.

"The Teiai Group has done many illegal things and harbored many evildoers. Even their head, Hyoudou Kazuo, and his family are criminals who have committed all kinds of evil. This is also true, right?"

"Of course." Jun Mogami nodded without hesitation.

This is an obvious fact that even Hyoudou Takako or Hyoudou Kazutsugu himself would probably admit.

"So, with the help of the Di Ai Group, to what extent did he participate in those shady things?" Sagihara Shion asked cautiously, "Will his position be greatly affected?"

"I'm sorry, senior, I can't answer you directly on this question." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly, "Because I don't know everything he did, and he can't tell me directly."

"Jun-kun, you are so honest - I don't know if I would rather you lie to me," Sagihara Shion nodded.

"This kind of thing isn't important, right?" Mogami Jun interrupted her senior, "Your father is your father, and you are you. I have always separated them this way; so if it's me, you should be able to separate them in the same way, right?"

"You and I are different. My father is a burden that I just want to get rid of forever, but you have a bright future ahead of you. You don't need to get rid of him, and you don't need to get rid of him for me..." Sagihara Shion shook her head slightly, seeming a little powerless. "Junjun, for your sake, I don't want to go against your father, and I don't want to embarrass you because of me."

"What do you mean?" Mogami Jun was even more confused.

He originally thought that Sagihara Shion had investigated so much because she wanted to uphold justice, but he found that Sagihara senior seemed to have different ideas.

"Senior, please tell me exactly what's on your mind. I want to know." He asked seriously, "You can't solve the problem by keeping all your worries on yourself. The best way is for everyone to face it together."

"My father, Sagihara Masao, is now a member of the Teiai Group. Have you forgotten?" Sagihara Shion answered in a low voice after a moment's silence.

Oh I got it……

Jun Mogami finally understood what Senior Sagihara was worried about.

She had always been at odds with Hyoudou Takako, and after learning that Sagihara Masao was recruited by the Teiai Group, she began to regard them as enemies in her heart.

But not long ago, she suddenly learned that Jun Mogami's father also had a very close relationship with the Teiai Group.

In a panic, she began to investigate her father and came to a conclusion that scared her very much.

"So, you are afraid that because of you, there will be a conflict between me and the Teiai Group, and eventually my father will be implicated?" Mogami Jun seemed to understand something.

Sagihara Shion nodded slightly.

"I'm more afraid, because this way, he...he will hate me even more." After a moment, she added in a low voice. "I don't have anything worthy of his recognition, right?"

Mogami Jun didn't know how to answer.

Anyway, judging from my father's consistent attitude, he really doesn't like her.

"Then are you willing to surrender to Hyoudou Takako and admit that you have been wrong all along?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"No... No!" Sagihara Shion shook her head violently. "Even if I die, I will not surrender to her!"

"You have guts, worthy of being a senior." Mogami Jun nodded approvingly. "Even if it's to please my father, you're not willing to give in?"

Sagihara Shion turned her head away, not daring to look at Mogami Jun. "I'm sorry, I still don't want to."

"So what are you going to do?" Mogami Jun asked again.

"I... I don't know..." Sagihara Shion answered honestly.

"Silly girl." Jun Mogami sighed and then hugged the senior.

279, Promise and Prey

"Silly girl."

Jun Mogami hugged Sagihara-senpai half amused and half helplessly, giving her some comfort despite her shock.

It was obvious that the senior was overwhelmed by the pressure in her heart.

She saw the danger, but couldn't see how to get out.

In other words, life itself did not leave much room for her.

"Senior, don't worry about it. I understand your guilty conscience, but since these are things you can't decide, what's the point of worrying about it now?" After a moment, Mogami Jun whispered to comfort her. "I guess this is what they mean by worrying about nothing."

"You're right, this is just worrying about nothing, this is just looking for trouble... I've become weak." The senior student closed her eyes slightly and let the boy hug her.

Then, she seemed to have a little resentment, she opened her eyes and glared at the other person, "But, isn't it Chunjun who made me weak? If I had nothing, I would not be afraid of losing anything, and I would have great courage... But now, I have something I cherish, and it is because of cherishing it that I am afraid of losing it. I have said it many times, I am afraid of bearing the price of losing it. What do you think, are you disappointed, Chunjun? I am not as fearless as I look... I am just a pathetic mortal..."

As she spoke, Sagihara Shion's tone gradually became low, and it was obvious that she was also in a depressed mood.

But Jun Mogami didn't see it that way.

He did not look down on the senior because she was "scared".

On the contrary, he was somewhat moved.

Because he knew that Sagihara Shion was not afraid of difficulties and dangers, nor even death, but was afraid of breaking up with him and causing trouble for him.

It was precisely because she didn't know how to deal with herself between the Mogami family and the Hyoudou family, but was unwilling to break with herself, that she fell into this dilemma.

Maybe Senior Luyuan has indeed become weaker, but isn't that weakness herself? Anyone has the right to mock her for being so anxious about gains and losses, except herself.

Therefore, I have the obligation to help my senior out of this predicament.

Even if you don't feel guilty, you should at least have a little sense of responsibility, right?

He loosened his embrace and then grasped the senior's shoulders with both hands.

"No matter what the relationship between my father and Hyoudou Kazuzun and Teiai Foundation is, it has no impact on me. What I want to do is my own business, and I will not kowtow to the Hyoudou family—" Mogami Jun said solemnly, "If my father is angry with you because of the Hyoudou family, then I will definitely not sit idly by. Even if it goes against his will, I will definitely protect you. Please rest assured, senior sister."

This is a promise that Jun Mogami takes very seriously.

However, Sagihara Shion shook her head slightly.

"Don't you believe what I say?" Mogami Jun was a little depressed.

"No, it's because I believed in you too much that I feel sorry for you." Sagihara Shion still shook her head gently, "Chun Jun, although we are not in the same world, I can imagine how much effort your parents have poured into a child like you since childhood, and how many things they have prepared for you... I am not jealous of you, because you deserve these things. Knowing this, I cannot tolerate myself destroying these things - Chun Jun, do you know what this means to me? It means that I have caused you trouble because of me, so what is the value of my existence? What is the meaning of all the big words I said? This is the only thing that cannot be tolerated. If you do this, it will be the greatest mockery of me..."

"This is not just your business, it's mine too." Mogami Jun interrupted with a hint of pride. "I don't live to be someone's yes-man, not even my father's."

Just as he was about to explain further, footsteps and creaking sounds were suddenly heard at the door.

The time is up and the teacher is going to lock the door.

"This place is about to close, let's go first."

Jun Mogami also stopped, took the senior's hand, and walked out.

The teacher, who was about to lock the door, looked in astonishment at the boys and girls in school uniforms walking out of the dark warehouse.

"Hey!? What are you guys doing hiding here?"

"Dating here, isn't that obvious?" Mogami Jun answered as a matter of course.

Such a correct answer left the teacher speechless for a moment.

While he was still not able to come to his senses, Mogami Jun directly pulled up the senior and ran out with big strides.

"Hey, stop!" After a moment, the teacher finally reacted and shouted at them to stop. Unfortunately, it was too late. The two people had already run far away, and he could only watch them escape with an angry look.

Mogami Jun held onto his senior and ran quickly along the path that was about to be shrouded in darkness, listening to the whispers of the breeze in their ears.

For a moment, I seemed to be back to that night.

It would be nice if I could just run with my senior sister to a place where no one can see me... A strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

It was not until the frail senior student began to gasp for air that Mogami Jun finally came to his senses and stopped.

"Senior, are you okay?" He turned around and looked at Sagihara Shion. "I'm sorry... I ran too far."

Sagihara Shion was not in a good condition. Her face turned red due to the sudden intense exercise, and she was half bent over and gasping violently.

But even so, she still shook her head, "No...it's okay..."

"This can't be called nothing!" Mogami Jun looked around. They were currently between teaching buildings, with a few long benches nearby.

"Sit down and take a rest." Mogami Jun took her and sat down together.

Sagihara Shion sat down obediently.

Although her physical condition was not particularly good, it could be seen that her spirit was much calmer.

"Senior, do you need me to say anything else?" he asked with a smile.

"Jun Jun, I understand what you mean, I have always understood..." Sagihara Shion's face was still slightly red, and she lowered her head, "I thank you, I don't even know how to describe how grateful I am to you. So, I am ashamed of my next request, but even if I am ashamed, please listen carefully, okay?"

"What request? There's no need to be so serious, right?" Mogami Jun replied with a smile.

"Don't be a pawn of the Hyoudou family. In my opinion, they are just mud that can swallow up all the beautiful things in the world." Sagihara Shion said solemnly, "Jun-kun, I know that the world is by no means perfect, and you can't live your life like a saint. I even... I even made up my mind that even if there are things that violate the principles in the future, I can help you do it, but I think that even so, people should have a limit that should never be crossed, and the Hyoudou family is beyond that limit. If you stand on their side and serve them, even if you can get temporary glory and wealth, you can no longer be called a human being after all, so even for this last little bit of insignificant things, please... please stay..."

The senior must have been scared because she saw that she and Hyoudou Takako had temporarily joined forces.

Indeed, there are very few people who are not fascinated by hundreds of millions of yuan.

It’s a pity that I am one of those exceptions.

From the very beginning, I never thought of being a pawn of Hyoudou Takako, and even Hyoudou Kazutsugu would not do that.

On the contrary, he and his mother were their enemies at the moment, ready to deal the final blow to their family at any time.

Therefore, I can agree to my senior's request without any guilt.

"I promise you." Mogami Jun looked into Sagihara Shion's eyes, "I will never stand with the Hyoudou family. Don't worry, senior! This is my promise."

"I believe you." Sagihara Shion breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to have lost all her strength.

The huge stone on her body seemed to be lifted off.

There is nothing to worry about anymore.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, but sat quietly side by side on the bench, enjoying the coolness of the night. Occasionally, students who stayed on campus passed by, but neither of them paid any attention.

After an unknown amount of time, a dull roar suddenly came from the sky, and then tiny raindrops began to drip onto the school uniforms of the two people.

"It's raining." said Jun Mogami.

"Yes, it's raining." Sagihara Shion nodded.

It's time to go back.

Jun Mogami wanted to say something but didn't say it out loud.

"I should go back." After a moment, Sagihara Shion said this.

Then, she nodded gently and said goodbye to Mogami Jun. "Jun-kun, let's say goodbye today. I'm so... so sorry to have caused you trouble again."

"I don't think it's any trouble." Jun Mogami replied with a smile, and then nodded goodbye to her.

Then, the two people left in different directions, reluctantly saying goodbye.

As Jun Mogami walked forward, he listened to the footsteps of Sagihara Shion as she left. Only after the sound disappeared did he turn his attention to the front.

It's time to go back.

He walked around the path between the high school and junior high school, and then took a shortcut to the school gate.

Palladium One Tung Forest Umbrella Bar

It was already night and drizzling. There was no one around and only the dim lights left a blurry path for him.

Just at this moment, a dull sound was heard between the trees and flower beds not far away.

Mogami Jun stopped.

He subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Among the swaying leaves, there seemed to be a vague figure.

what's the situation?

Did someone climb over the wall and break into the school?

Jun Mogami showed a hint of surprise for a moment.

Then, he reacted quickly and took a few steps back, hiding himself in the shadows between the corners of the wall.

At this time, a figure appeared from between the leaves.
