The strongest high school student in Japan

"I understand what you mean, but..." Asana smiled bitterly, "What good will it do if I go back? It will just make everyone uncomfortable for no reason. You already know my mother very well, she is not the kind of person who will give in, and I'm afraid she will never forgive my offense."

"Even so, so what? The bond between parents and children cannot be defined by forgiveness or not." Mogami Jun shook his head. "Besides, you are the owner of that mansion. Whose approval do you need if you want to stay there? Asana, don't you really miss them at all? If that's the case, I have nothing to say."

"How can I not miss you at all..." Asana lowered her head. "But there are some things I can't let go of."

"They still love you, just not to the degree we hoped for—" Mogami Jun sighed, "But how many children in this world have received completely unconditional love? Besides, your mother is the main person in charge of this matter. Even if you can't repair your relationship with her for the time being, at least your father is quite cooperative. Let's deal with your father first. It's better than hiding from each other now."

"So... so you're just giving me advice?" Asana suddenly replied.

This strange answer made Mogami Jun a little confused. "Of course... of course I can only give you advice. After all, this is just a family matter and I can't interfere."

"It was my family's affair before, why did you interfere without caring about it?" Asana asked back, "It was obviously you who caused the current situation, but you stood by and gave me 'advice' like an outsider. Isn't... isn't this very cunning...? It's just like a hero who reduced the entire city to ruins in order to slay a dragon and then walked away!"

Asana's words were so sharp that Mogami Jun was speechless for a moment, but her metaphor was so vivid and interesting that he wanted to laugh again.

"Well...I was probably rash, I'm sorry..." Mogami Jun finally apologized, "If you don't want to hear it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"I've already said it, how can I forget it? Besides, what you said is actually very right, so right..." But Asana had no intention of ending the dispute, "I have some opinions, but you said it as if it had nothing to do with me. You obviously... obviously should have done the matter to the end. Since you want to reconcile me and my parents, why don't you give a push? As for my family, you... can't you have half of it? If you come to my house, who will stop you? Even if someone wants to stop you, can they stop you? If you give the order, the situation will definitely... definitely be completely different, right?"

"Uh..." Jun Mogami was stunned.

He suddenly felt like he was being squeezed by Asana.

She kept holding on to the fact that she had interfered in family affairs and caused the current situation, reminding herself that she had a responsibility to make amends - and then asked herself to take her to her house to mend the relationship between the two sides.

Asana's face also turned red and she could hardly speak, but she still looked at Mogami Jun stubbornly.

"So...so...if you're really heartbroken, come and help me sometime...please."

Mogami Jun didn't know how to answer.

He didn't expect Asana to say something so bold and explicit, especially in front of others.

Yes, Saginahara-senpai is still here.

The senior student has remained silent. Is she holding back her anger?

"Hahaha..." Just as he was thinking this, Sagihara Shion's laughter suddenly reached his ears.

"Jun-kun, it looks like the trouble you've caused won't end so easily." Then, Sagihara Shion continued, her tone seeming somewhat playful, "Asana would rather not solve it than wait for you to solve it together."

I don’t know if it was an auditory hallucination, but she seemed to put emphasis on “wait for you”.

Asana's face suddenly turned even redder, and she no longer dared to look at Mogami Jun's face, so she looked away and rubbed her hands together a little nervously.

"It's not that I didn't intend to solve it..."

"But you're still waiting, right?" asked Sagihara Shion in a low voice.

This time Asana didn't answer.

The three of them started walking again and continued to enjoy the scenery in the park.

"Senior Sagihara?" After a long silence, Asana suddenly spoke to Sagihara Shion.

"Well, please go ahead." Sagihara Shion replied immediately.

"I heard from Jun that Sagihara-senpai's goal is to get into the University of Tokyo, right?" Asana suddenly turned around and looked at Sagihara Shion.

"Yes." Sagihara Shion nodded honestly, "After carefully considering my current situation, this is indeed the best solution."

"Very impressive... such determination is admirable." Asana looked at Sagihara Shion with admiration. "Senior, although our school has strict management, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than preparing to train future wives who meet the standards. We do not attach great importance to students' further studies, but instead encourage students to cultivate and learn artistic hobbies..."

Then, Asana sighed helplessly, "I didn't care about it before, but now it's different. I... I also want to follow your example and be a person who works hard for myself. No... not just for myself, I want to work hard for all the people who care about me and I care about, to revitalize our family business and create the best future... I will do it even if it costs anything."

"Well... I can see that you are very determined." Sagihara Shion nodded slightly.

Then, she raised her right hand and placed it on Asana's shoulder, "You can do it."

"Thank you." Asana closed her eyes and smiled slightly.

================================================

As noon approached, the three people's walk in the park ended.

Chao Nai watched the two people get into the car reluctantly, then waved goodbye.

"I just did it on purpose."

After the car drove away, Sagihara Shion, who had been silent in the back seat, whispered.

"What do you mean by intentional?" Jun Mogami next to him didn't quite understand.

"Can't you see it?" Sagihara Shion rolled her eyes at Mogami Jun, "You can definitely see it."

"..." Jun Mogami could only lower his head.

It was obvious that Asana deliberately mentioned in front of Sagihara Shion that the two of them came together.

"This is a challenge to me." After a moment of silence, Sagihara Shion sighed, "What a cunning child. I really underestimated her when I first met her."

"She's not a bad person." Mogami Jun immediately defended Asana.

"Of course she is not. No matter what, she was being polite before using force. She was eager to help before and she has already done the necessary courtesy. Now comes the challenge." replied Sagihara Shion.

Then she looked at Jun Mogami again and suddenly asked.

"Will you help her out?"

"I think so." Mogami Jun nodded, "After all, I do have responsibilities, and I can't give up halfway."

"That's really an admirable Jun-kun style." Sagihara Shion frowned, and her eyes narrowed slightly. "Asana also knows, so she's waiting."

But after a moment, her expression relaxed again and she let out a long sigh.

"But no matter what, I can't hate it."

Before Jun Mogami could say anything else, Sagihara Shion suddenly pinched Jun Mogami's face and twisted it hard.

"Bad guy! Why didn't you just help me..."

Thank you to the book friend "Orange's Hot Dry Noodles" for the reward!

I...I really need to work harder to live up to everyone's expectations...

327, Ambition

"Bad guy! Why didn't you just help me..."

Sagihara Shion's expression seemed to be both angry and sighing, with a little bit of coquettishness, which made Mogami Jun a little stunned.

It's rare to find a senior like this.

It can be seen that yesterday's experience has indeed made her heart no longer as calm as before.

Or should I say it this way -

She felt threatened by the invasion of her territory.

If Izumo Asana was just the kind of domineering or arrogant young lady, then even with her current beauty, Sagihara Shion would not feel any threat. But Asana is not that kind of person - on the contrary, Asana has a kind personality and is very willing to respect others, and there is absolutely no annoying thing about her.

And her good friend, Umemiya Natsuki, had a talent that even Sagihara Shion herself admired deeply.

If Umemiya Xiafei had called her here just to humiliate her, perhaps Sagihara Shion might have felt better. However, she was treated very politely and generously, and she owed the other party a big favor.

Until now, he still carries with him the gift given to him by Princess Umemiya Xia - her own handwritten letter.

With this pair standing in front of her, Sagihara Shion felt an insurmountable pressure.

Moreover, Izumo Asana had just very obviously challenged himself, and it was obvious that beneath his gentle and humble appearance, Asana also had a firm side hidden.

Can he really defeat Asana and Umemiya Natsuhime who will definitely help her all the time?

Although she was too proud to admit it, if she judged calmly, she could not help but feel a strong sense of crisis.

To put it bluntly, if Jun-kun really fell in love with Asana, then even I wouldn't be able to find any reason to object -

Therefore, anxiety and worry made her mentally unbalanced.

Of course, it was impossible for Jun Mogami to fully understand the girl's complicated psychology, but he could more or less understand what his senior was feeling at the moment.

"I'm sorry..." Sorry was all he could say.

Because his face was twisted, his voice was a little unclear, but Sagihara Shion suddenly woke up as if she had been electrocuted, and then let go of her hands.

Then, she sighed with some heartache and annoyance.

"What's there to be sorry about? I'm the one who's sorry for you. My face is turning red."

The aunt of the pig is the aunt of the pig.

"It's okay. It's quite comfortable to have some stimulation occasionally." Mogami Jun smiled and put aside the awkwardness between the two of them. "I was a little drowsy at first, but now I'm completely awake."

"I...I really went too far." Sagihara Shion was still a little annoyed at her own loss of composure. "Everyone was obviously very happy, and the matter was resolved so smoothly. We should be thankful. But...but...I'm still a little scared after all."

"What are you afraid of?" asked Jun Mogami.

"I'm afraid that I will continue to be a burden to you." Sagihara Shion replied in a low voice, "It's strange, isn't it? Although I have confronted Hyoudou Takako head-on and witnessed her misdeeds, I have never had a real sense of the so-called 'power'. Perhaps it's because I have too little experience, I only regard power as domineering arrogance.

But today I really saw it... Miss Umemiya can sit at the table with just her surname, without any lackeys to encourage her, and then in the midst of chatting and laughing, people like Kurosaki Yoshihiro can only swallow their pride and give in... Obviously, there is no sense of her evil spirit, and she is so polite, gentle and thoughtful, but the person on the other side can only bow his head and obey! Maybe this is the "power", think about it, she is just a young lady in school, if her father is present, what will happen... Maybe when she is silent, the fate of some people will be completely changed?"

Jun Mogami didn't answer, but just smiled and shrugged.

The world has always worked this way since the beginning of human history.

Power can allow an underage girl to boss everyone around her around; naturally, it can also cause many people to fall into irreparable destruction without realizing it.

He still remembered that Sagihara Shion once cried in front of him and asked himself why everyone turned a blind eye to the evil deeds.

Now that she has seen this scene, she should have figured it out.

“So sometimes, seeing so many things is not a blessing,” he replied briefly.

"But I still saw it. I can't pretend I didn't see it now. I'm not the kind of person who likes to deceive myself." Sagihara Shion still smiled bitterly, "Think about the path you chose for yourself, Junjun. You are destined to wander in this kind of world in the future, moving between powers. It's like dancing next to the abyss..."

Mogami Jun wanted to tell her that the situation was not that serious, and he was not relying solely on Umemiya Natsuki this time.

But on second thought, Senior Sagihara’s idea is not wrong, it is essentially the same.

"Even when it comes to dancing, you can choose between ugly dancing and beautiful dancing." Mogami Jun then replied with a smile, "I prefer the beautiful dancing."

"You can also choose to dance Latin or a duet—" Sagihara Shion looked at Mogami Jun's face. "This time we were almost drawn into the vortex of power and faced the nightmare of being swallowed up... Fortunately, this time a higher 'power' stood on our side, but... Even so, I still hate that feeling. Being rescued by power is only slightly better than being oppressed by power, and what I want most is not to be moved by any power!"

"This idea is a bit too extravagant." Mogami Jun thought for a moment and then replied, "There are too few people in the world who can remain unmoved by anyone."

"Even if it's less, it still means there's a chance of becoming that kind of person." Sagihara Shion continued to look at him stubbornly, "I will do everything I can to make us become that kind of person. I want a day when nothing can threaten you and me, and we can live freely without caring about what anyone thinks... Of course, we won't take the initiative to oppress anyone."

Sagihara Shion's words were so sincere that Mogami Jun had no doubt about her sincerity.

This was also the first time he heard someone desire power so openly - but the purpose was surprisingly simple, just to protect her and himself from being bullied by any powerful person.

Will there be such a day?

No one can guarantee it.

However, it is worth it for Shion Sagihara to work hard for this day.

Life should have a purpose, right? If you set your life goals here, it might be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Mogami Jun also felt relieved.

"Senior, you should take a rest. You may be a little tired."

After saying that, he pointed to the driver in front.

Now they were sitting in the car that the Umemiya family sent to take them back home. Although the driver must have received professional training, it would be inappropriate to say more.

Sagihara Shion understood, so she nodded slightly and closed her eyes to rest. There was no more conversation between the two.

After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped again, and two people got out of the car, and then they found themselves standing in front of the school gate again. After they stood there, the car started again and left in a cloud of dust.

The two people looked at each other. The experiences of the past two days seemed like a dream.

But no matter what, the matter has finally come to an end.

"It's always unsafe to stand outside, so senior, you'd better go back early--" Mogami Jun pointed to the school gate.

"Well, you're right, I should go back first." Sagihara Shion nodded.

But she didn't move.

"Senior, is there anything else?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

"Asana... is really cute." Sagihara Shion lowered her head with a complicated expression. "I think no boy would refuse to be friends with her if there is a chance."

"...Uh..." Jun Mogami didn't quite understand why the senior said that.
