The strongest high school student in Japan

"Yes, I know. She doesn't have many friends because she's a loner." Mogami Jun replied, "But being a loner isn't a sin, right?"

"Her isolation has nothing to do with her personality, but because of her family problems..." Sugishita Kenji looked around and made sure that no one was around. He lowered his head and came close to Mogami Jun, then whispered, "She lives alone. Her mother is dead, and her father is in prison."

"Ah?" Mogami Jun was really surprised. "She... She is the daughter of a prisoner?"

No wonder, I have no friends.

Not only in Japan, but also in other places, people in schools will look at the children of criminals with tinted glasses...So it is quite normal for Sagihara Shion to be isolated by her classmates and have no friends.

But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, no one can choose the family they are born into. Even if the father is a criminal, his children should not be discriminated against. This does not make sense at all.

Just when Jun Mogami was thinking this, Kenji Sugishita gave him even more shocking news.

"Yes, that's right. She is the daughter of a serving prisoner. And that's not all - I heard that her father is a senior official of a religious sect, and her mother died because of the activities of this religious sect... So her father was arrested and imprisoned because of this."

"What!" Now even the usually calm Jun Mogami couldn't sit still.

"Now you understand why everyone stays away from her, right?" Sugishita Kenji sighed softly, "Although I don't think she has done anything wrong, the situation at home is too much... This incident was one of the sensational news in our school at the time, so that senior knew the whole story so well. He also specifically told me not to have anything to do with that senior anymore. It's too much..."

What is the meaning of the word "Yi Yi"?

It’s indeed a bit too much… Jun Mogami also silently agreed.

Perhaps because of the excessive social pressure and people's need to seek spiritual sustenance, a wide variety of religions are popular in Japan. In addition to formal religious groups, there are also some strange sects. These sects use all kinds of deceptive or intimidating doctrines to confuse people and recruit believers, and then either squeeze the believers' money or simply engage in anti-social behavior.

The most prominent example was the Aum Shinrikyo in the 90s. At that time, this cult was so cruel that it threw poison gas bombs in the Tokyo subway, which ultimately caused a large number of casualties and further caused social panic.

After a series of events, Japanese society still has lingering fears about these emerging religious groups and is even afraid to talk about them, trying to avoid them as much as possible.

No wonder her classmates ignored her... Now Jun Mogami finally understood.

No one wants to be involved in such trouble, not even Mogami Jun himself.

After hearing such explosive news, both of them fell into an unspeakable silence, not knowing what to say.

"So... Jun, if you are really in love, then don't go after her. This is really too much..." After a long time, Sugishita Kenji finally coughed lightly, breaking the silence between the two, "I think Shinyu is a good choice. Although I don't think you can have any results with her, even if nothing works out, it can be regarded as a memory of your youth... What do you think?"

But neither of us wants to be in a relationship... Jun Mogami sighed in his heart.

After Kenji Sugishita's explanation, he was more or less a little nervous.

He doesn't like trouble, and he doesn't like to seek trouble for himself, especially getting involved with those weird crazy people. It is even more unnecessary.

But what does this have to do with Senior Sagihara?

She is indeed innocent. She just had the misfortune of being born into a criminal family.

Although the two had not spoken to each other for several years, he had never seen Senior Sister Sagihara do anything bad, nor had he seen her have any contact with any evil cult.

That night, they did not talk about anything related to new religions.

She just stayed quietly in the library every day, writing, submitting her papers, and then getting rejected, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Is this evil?

The only evil ones are her father in prison and the cult her father belongs to. What does it have to do with her?

Although perhaps in literature she is currently a pitiful loser, her dreams, her persistence, and even she herself are not evil at all.

There is no doubt that Senior Sagihara concealed her situation when the two met, but how many people would take the initiative to say to others, "Hello, I'm the daughter of a criminal"?

He could conclude that Sagihara Shion was not a bad person.

Well, to deny others just because their father is a bad person is the real evil.

So, I will continue to keep my promise.

Jun Mogami came to a conclusion in his mind.

"Jun? What's wrong?" Because Jun Mogami hadn't spoken, Kenji Sugishita looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Mogami Jun immediately responded, then picked up the spoon and continued eating. "Thank you for the information, I got it."

By the time he put it in his mouth, the curry and rice were so cold that he could hardly eat them, but he still ate them bite by bite.

What is more important than being alive?

11. Threat

After learning about Senior Sagihara's family situation from Kenji Sugishita, Jun Mogami didn't say anything more and quietly finished his lunch.

Although it was indeed very unexpected, he did not give up the idea of ​​ignoring Senior Sagihara - after all, Senior Sagihara did not do anything wrong and should not be excluded with tinted glasses.

Maybe other people can't treat others fairly, but he doesn't care.

He also did not tell Kenji Sugishita about his decision because he did not want to make Kenji Sugishita worry about him - or rather, there was no need to tell him these things at all.

After the lunch break, when Jun Mogami returned to the classroom, he found that the students around him were looking at him strangely.

On weekdays, his classmates didn't have much interaction with him. They were either envious of his good grades, or simply indifferent to him, or at most had some hidden dissatisfaction with his self-willed attitude. But now, many people's attitude has become a clear disgust, and they are not even willing to hide it.

It seems that Mayu has spread the news that "After Jun Mogami failed to confess his love to me, he still kept pestering me."

But the news spread too fast, didn't it? It had only been an hour or two, and it seemed like the whole class had already known the news, and they all stood on Zhenyou's side.

Takasaki Mayu is indeed a cute idol loved by everyone. Mogami Jun once again experienced this reality.

This reality was created by him, but it was not something he could fully control.

At least for now, the image of him in the minds of the classmates has become "an arrogant and eccentric top student" and "a bad guy who relies on his good grades to pester Zhenyou".

Now he had to handle it carefully, lest by carelessness he not only failed to catch the criminal, but also put himself in an even more difficult situation.

He frowned slightly, then walked through the aisle between his classmates and headed towards his seat.

When he passed by, the male and female students who were chatting and laughing deliberately avoided his gaze, then turned away and continued chatting and laughing.

Yes, this is the first step towards being isolated - ignoring and avoiding.

But he didn't care, after all, he seldom talked to his classmates.

This tactic of ignoring has almost no lethality to him.

He walked to his seat by the window as if no one was around, sat down, then lowered his head and spoke.

"Hey, Jun?" Kenji Sugishita, who was standing next to him, finally realized that something seemed amiss. He quietly called out to Jun Mogami, "What's going on? Everyone is looking at you in a strange way."

"Kenji." Jun Mogami's eyes remained on the textbook, and his expression did not change at all.

"Ok?"

"Be smart and don't talk to me too much in the classroom recently." Mogami Jun said calmly, "I don't want to get you into trouble."

"You've implicated me..." Kenji Sugishita became even more confused, squinting at Jun Mogami.

Then, he opened his eyes wide, as if he understood something. "Zhenyou...Did Zhenyou say anything? What happened to you guys?"

"I don't want to tell you the details. Anyway, I am responsible for all the consequences of my actions, and I am responsible for it alone." Mogami Jun shrugged.

"Why are you still trying to be so stubborn at a time like this...what are you talking about taking personal responsibility for something?" Kenji Sugishita couldn't help but raise his voice, which attracted the sidelong glances of the people around him. At this time, the gazes from those around him also had an indescribable aura.

"Hey, are you just going to watch others bully you? This is not the Chun I know!" His face flushed slightly, "You still want me to stay out of it? What kind of nonsense is this? Don't you understand that if you fall out with Zhenyou, many people will not forgive you!"

After saying that, he wanted to stand up and go to Zhenyou to speak nicely.

However, he suddenly felt a pain in the soles of his feet and could not stand up.

He looked at Jun Mogami in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with him.

"Chun?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way. If you go and cause trouble now, you will only cause more trouble." Mogami Jun whispered, "Things will calm down in a few days at most. It won't get out of control. Don't worry."

After Jun Mogami's explanation, Kenji Sugishita was finally able to control his emotions a little, but he was still a little worried.

"Don't you know me after all these years? I'm not that easy to be manipulated." Mogami Jun raised his head and smiled at the other party. "Also, thank you..."

Under this smile, Jun Mogami also crossed out Kenji Sugishita from the "suspect list" he had prepared in his mind.

To be honest, just now he suspected that Kenji Sugishita was the classmate who informed on him - after all, the two of them interacted quite a lot, and he also knew that he had a cell phone.

However, after years of being classmates, he believed that he had some understanding of Kenji Sugishita. This man had a cheerful personality, a good heart, and a little bit of passion. He was almost unlike the generally cold-hearted Tokyoites, so he did not quite believe that the other party would do such a thing in secret.

And Kenji Sugishita's performance just now completely dispelled Jun Mogami's last doubts.

It's great that it's not him, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to deal with...

As the class bell rang, the two stopped talking and started the rest of the day's classes in this weird atmosphere.

After school, Jun Mogami let Kenji Sugishita go home first, while he packed his things slowly, waiting for some events that might happen.

"Mr. Chun, can you please stay for a moment?"

Just as he expected, he was stopped in the corridor before he even walked out of the teaching building.

There were two people standing in front of him, a man and a woman, and both of them looked unhappy.

"What's the matter?" Jun Mogami asked calmly.

He was promoted from the junior high school of this school. He met most of his classmates only after the start of this school year. Given his personality, he naturally didn't have much contact with them, so he still can't remember the names of most of his classmates.

But... at least he knew the squad leader.

One of the three people opposite was their class monitor, Hanyu Hirofumi.

He has short hair, slightly brown skin, thick eyebrows and eyes, a square face, and his school uniform is very neat and straight. At first glance, he looks like a serious and rigorous person.

Perhaps it was because of this character that he became the only person who stood up to run for class monitor after the class was established - and was eventually elected class monitor with a high vote.

By the way, his academic performance is probably among the top 30 in the school. If he performs well in the exam, he will probably be admitted to Keio University or Waseda University.

The other girl was Fujiyoshi Ayami, whom he had just met - Mayu's follower.

She had just had an argument with him, and now her expression was extremely unfriendly, as if she was ready to scold him at any time.

Haha, even if you act like this I won't be afraid...

Instead, he gave her a smile, which irritated her even more.

"Can I take up a little of your time, Jun?" Class monitor Hanyu seemed a little embarrassed.

"No problem, or rather, since you've already blocked the door, it doesn't matter whether I have a problem or not, right?" Mogami Jun replied with a smile. "But please hurry up a bit, I'm ready to go."

"Well, let me make it short--" Hanyu Hirofumi nodded, "Just now I heard from Fujiyoshi that you have been harassing Mayu, right?"

"I don't think I was harassing her." Mogami shook his head. "I just talked to her a few times."

“Even if it’s a conversation, it depends on whether the person involved is willing or not, right?” Squad Leader Hanyu smiled bitterly, “Let me make it clear to you, Mogami, don’t contact Shinyu anymore. This will not be good for everyone…”

"Why, do you still want to control how I act?" Mogami Jun asked calmly. "My actions didn't violate any class rules or laws, did they?"

"Well..." Squad leader Hanyu felt a little embarrassed when he saw that he was so uncooperative.

“Hey! You guy, I’m talking to you in a nice way, but you still don’t know what’s good for you?” Fujiyoshi Ayami, who was standing next to him, finally couldn’t help it. “Then I’ll make it clear to you! You bastard, listen to me, from now on I don’t want to see your stinky face next to Yuzu-chan anymore, or I’ll be rude to you! You should understand what I’m saying, right? You jerk!”

Her attitude was aggressive, but Jun Mogami was not angry.

"Oh? Is this what Zhenyou wanted you to convey to me? I haven't heard her say that."

"You... you bastard!" Being bullied by Mogami Jun, Fujiyoshi Ayami became even more furious. "You think Yuzu-chan is too kind and can't bear to say unpleasant things, so you are fearless, right? Then let me tell you, stop dreaming! Yuzu-chan will never even look at you. Do you think you are great just because you have good grades? There are so many highly educated fans among Yuzu-chan! Who do you think you are!"

As she spoke, her face turned red. "Do you know how much of a blow Yujiang suffered just now? She was almost crying and kept telling us that it was her fault... It's you, it's all your fault. You caused trouble for Yujiang and us! If you know what's best for you, just get out of the way. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

Wow, Takasaki Mayu is really cruel... She has so many tricks to deal with people, and she makes it so difficult for people to deal with her just by pretending to be pitiful... Now people's sympathy has been aroused, and I'm afraid that if she does it again, something extreme will really happen.

We can't add fuel to the fire. Mogami Jun felt that he needed to calm down now.

"Zhenyou...Did Zhenyou really say that?" He acted as if he was touched.

“Of course it is!” Fujiyoshi Ayami interrupted him loudly, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes, “I…I have been playing with her since childhood, watching her fight step by step to reach her current position. Do you know how much effort she has put in to get to where she is today? Do you know how much malice she has endured from people like you? The most pitiful thing is that Yuzu-chan can only endure it silently every time…Enough…Enough!”

She stared at Mogami Jun fiercely, "If you dare to continue to pester her and affect her career, Mogami, I tell you, I... will never forgive you!"

Her gaze left no doubt as to the reality of the threat.

This kind of loyalty is rare.

Oh, how shocked she would be if she knew the true face of Zhenyou? Mogami Jun couldn't help but think with evil humor in his heart.

12. An unexpected victory

"If you still dare to persist and affect her career, Mogami, I tell you, I... will never forgive you!"

At the entrance of the teaching building, two students, a boy and a girl, blocked Jun Mogami's way, and sternly asked Jun Mogami not to bother Mayu Takasaki anymore.
