"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to persuade him. After all, advanced training advocates meritocracy, and Ya did lead our class to become Class A. Many students in the class are inseparable from his leadership, and even students from other classes are looking forward to the future he promised..."

Shun Aragaki remained noncommittal about these somewhat rambling words. After all, just from that form of address, one could be certain that the senior who was good at falling flat on her face and Nagumo's relationship shouldn't be too bad.

"It sounds like you're quite familiar with Nagumo-senpai's style?"

“Although it’s a bit of a hassle sometimes, there’s nothing I can do about it,” Nagisa Ayahina said, nodding as she played with the amulet in her hand. “Our two families live quite close to each other, and the adults visit each other during holidays. If I had to describe the relationship between Miyabi and me in one word, it would be that we are familiar neighbors, or childhood friends.”

At this point, the girl glanced at Shun Aragaki with a subtle look in her eyes for some reason.

"From the class's perspective, I hope that Ya can win this student council election, but if Aragaki can win, it might not be a bad thing for me personally."

Several question marks appeared on his forehead; Aragaki Shun was somewhat puzzled as to what the other person meant by those words.

But Asahina simply shook his head, seemingly without intending to explain directly.

After all, such personal changes in mood are easily misunderstood when spoken aloud.

She and Nan Yunya were indeed childhood sweethearts, and it seemed that she had feelings for him too, but she had never really felt anything about it.

Although I haven't fallen for anyone yet, I've never thought about starting a relationship with Ya.

After all, this guy has been hitting on girls since junior high school, and he's always smug and self-centered, sometimes doing some really annoying things.

She also heard from her close friends in class that he had planned to confess to her after becoming the student council president. She had originally wanted to use the fact that he had not yet defeated Horikita Manabu as an excuse to delay it... Now that she thought about it, it seemed that letting him lose the election was a good thing.

"Is that so? That sounds good. Anyway, I had no intention of giving up the student council president position."

A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Aragaki Shun looked up again at the twilight scene that was about to fall into night. Thinking that the two of them had met by chance and had nothing else to say, he prepared to say goodbye to Asahina Nazuna in front of him.

"Well, I'm going to have dinner now. Senior who tripped on flat ground should be heading back to her dorm. Don't be careless again and lose something important."

"Flat-flat fall, senpai?" Asahina Nazuna's eyes widened, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Junior, you've really gone too far! How could you give a girl such an annoying nickname?!"

The boy smiled, made no other reaction, and simply turned to leave.

Seeing this, Asahina pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she looked very dejected and waved her hand weakly.

"What a mean junior, but it's your fault for returning the amulet to me."

"I should have treated you to a meal, but I've already used up all my personal points, so I'll have to repay you next time."

"Here, this is my contact information. If you have any troubles in life, as long as it doesn't involve class competition within the school, you can come and talk to me."

After saying that, Asahina Nazuna stared at him intently, and Aragaki Shun could only exchange emails and phone numbers with her.

However, even Nan Yunya's childhood friend has become penniless and can't even afford to treat someone to a meal. It seems that all the resources of Class D in the second year have been squeezed dry, and they can no longer provide support to the other party.

This is really good news.

Watching the handsome young man slowly disappear into the distance, Nazuna Asahina touched her cherry lips with the tip of her index finger, her gaze seemingly unfocused, clearly lost in thought—

Although Shun Aragaki's fame at Advanced Training is well-known, it's quite unexpected that the two of them would officially meet under these circumstances.

At a crucial moment when her childhood friend and junior, Aragaki, were competing for the student council president position, she suddenly encountered the latter and had a strange encounter with him. What exactly is fate trying to tell her?

Headache!

Amulet, oh amulet, you're being a little too mischievous...

.........

The afternoon after meeting Asahina Nagisa, Aragaki Shun pretended to negotiate with the three third-year classes B, C, and D, putting further pressure on Nagumo Masaru, before heading to the library.

When he had nothing to do, he had long been accustomed to supplementing his knowledge here, and he was usually accompanied by a fixed NPC, Shiina Hiyori.

But as soon as the boy entered the library today, he saw several unexpected figures.

"Aragaki-kun, over here, over here."

The person waving to him and making cheerful noises was Wang Meiyu.

Of course, it's quite normal for a girl with dark blue twin tails to appear in the library, after all, she's a top student who values ​​her studies.

The only puzzling thing was the other girls sitting at the same table with her—

Kikyo Kushida, Kokoro Inokashira, Airi Sakura, Haruka Hasebe...

Aren't these all from Class D?

What are you doing here?

"Well, because of the special exam last time, Class D was divided into four study groups. Hirata and Yukimura each tutored a group of boys, and Kikyo and Matsushita each tutored a group of girls. I saw that Kikyo was having a hard time, so I came to help."

When Shun Aragaki came over, Xiaomei ignored the gazes of others, giggled, and jumped into her lover's arms, rubbing her head against his chest to replenish her happiness before squinting her eyes and explaining.

It's fortunate that the system for Class A, Class C, and Class D in the first year is now unified; otherwise, she would have been too embarrassed to continue seeing her former friends from Class D, especially since she had betrayed them once on the deserted island.

"So that's how it is."

Nodding, Shun Aragaki and Kikyo Kushida exchanged a glance. You could see the multifaceted girl's slightly annoyed expression, followed by Airi Sakura pouting with an envious look on her face.

As for the feelings of the other people, he didn't pay special attention because he wasn't very familiar with them.

"That's good. It's true that a solid academic foundation is necessary in advanced education. Otherwise, if the school deliberately adjusts the difficulty of the midterm and final exams, those who were previously on the verge of passing will be at risk of being expelled."

"I have nothing to do today, so I might as well come with Xiaomei to share the burden of Kushida."

Looking around, and seeing an unused long table a few meters away, Shun Aragaki beckoned to the somewhat unsophisticated girl wearing glasses.

“I’m fairly familiar with Airi, and then there’s another student from Class D. If you need any guidance, you can come and ask me.”

After saying that, the boy played with Wang Meiyu's pigtails for a moment, then put her back on the ground and walked to another empty spot.

However, Shun Aragaki's casual departure caused trouble for Airi Sakura, who was specifically mentioned by him.

Feeling the surprised gazes of her classmates, the girl with red pigtails subconsciously shrank back, like a terrified little hamster, instinctively lowering her head and avoiding eye contact.

"They actually called her Airi directly? So Sakura-san and Aragaki-san have this kind of close relationship?"

Inoshita looked around with a strange expression at Sakura, who was unremarkable and gave the first impression of being unsophisticated. It was really hard to imagine that such a solitary and introverted girl, who was considered to be at the bottom of Class D, would know the most influential figure at the top of the school.

"I, I..."

Sakura Airi felt like crying. How could she be so useless? She was so frightened by the stares of everyone around her after just being called out by Aragaki-kun in public that she didn't dare to move.

"I know that Sakura encountered a problem last semester, and it was Aragaki who helped her solve it. That's how the two of them met."

Seeing that the red-haired girl was particularly uncomfortable with such a attention-grabbing scene, Wang Meiyu quickly stepped forward to help divert attention.

Since she started dating Shun Aragaki, the two of them would always talk about their pasts when they went on dates or were intimate, so she was also aware of the girl's experiences with her lover.

However, Aragaki-kun should know this child's personality. Is he planning something by provoking her in public like this?

Wang Meiyu was puzzled, but that didn't stop her from helping with the cleanup.

"Hasebe-kun, you and Sakura-kun are quite close. Could you please take Sakura-kun to Aragaki-kun's place?"

"Of course, if you all feel uncomfortable, then forget it. I'll go and tell Aragaki-kun not to disturb your studies."

"It's been almost half a year since I came to the Advanced Education Center. Is Airi still so afraid of interacting with people in her class?"

When Sakura Airi and Hasebe Haruka came over and sat down opposite him, Aragaki Shun rested his chin on his hand, a speechless expression on his face.

"After all this time, even if you don't make a few more friends, you should at least learn to communicate normally with people and get used to other people's stares, right?"

You're so timid and shy, it would be a complete waste for me to give you a chance.

"I, I, I'm sorry, I still feel scared by other people's gazes..."

Sensing the obvious disappointment in her beloved, the girl with red pigtails lowered her head, unsure how to respond. Her fingers twirled anxiously, as if she were about to burst into tears.

Upon seeing this, Hasebe frowned slightly and glared at Aragaki Shun with some disrespect.

"It was clearly your fault just now. Airi doesn't like to attract attention, and you deliberately called her name in that kind of situation!"

Upon being criticized like this, the leader of Class A paused in his reading and turned his gaze to the girl he hadn't paid much attention to before.

Its most distinctive features are long, straight blue hair, a high forehead, a beauty mark at the corner of its eye, and the highest level of intelligence among first-year students.

"I remember your name is Hasebe Haruka."

"It's really surprising that someone as important as you would actually remember an ordinary girl like me from Class D?"

"I have a good memory, so I simply wrote down the names of all the teachers and students in all three grades."

He casually uttered an unbelievable fact, and without paying attention to Hasebe's reaction, Aragaki Shun turned to look at the somewhat unambitious country girl again.

"It seems I was indeed caught off guard. Airi has already made new friends?"

"Hmm~ Jiajia takes good care of me in class," Sakura nodded her head gently and said affirmatively, "She's a very nice person. I was too scared to go to the study group that Kushida organized by myself, so Jiajia came with me."

Perhaps it was just intuition, but for some reason, Sakura was a little afraid of Kokushida, even though she seemed very friendly.

On the contrary, the two were able to start a conversation quickly with Hasebe, who was also reclusive, and they are now quite good friends.

Of course, Hasebe was definitely the more proactive one in this process; otherwise, given Sakura's personality, she might never have dared to take that step, even if it took her a thousand years.

"That's good, this is a good start."

He patted Sakura's head to encourage her, and the girl unsurprisingly gave him a slightly silly smile.

Hasebe was speechless. "I was backing you up, and you turned around and betrayed us the moment the other side opened their mouth?"

What did my anger just now even mean?

"Hmph! Fine! Your atmosphere is so good, it seems like I'm the one meddling in other people's business."

Haruka Hasebe picked up the book with some displeasure, feeling quite annoyed. Didn't this make her seem like an outsider?

"No, actually I'm quite happy. Before, Airi was always all alone, and now that she has another friend, it makes me feel much more at ease."

Aragaki Shun smiled brightly, as if the winter sun was shining warmly in the library, instantly washing away all the negative emotions in the blue-haired girl's heart.

A hint of red seeped from her earlobes without her noticing. Haruka Hasebe shifted her gaze away, listening to her increasingly loud heartbeat, and suddenly felt like she had become one of those shameless infatuated girls in her class.

This guy is a bit too eccentric, isn't he?

Why does a grown man need to be so good-looking?

She had some thoughts running through her mind, but Hasebe would never admit that the boy she liked in front of her was her ideal type.

I've always been pursuing higher standards, even with Shun Aragaki... haha~ I'll probably find someone with even higher standards at this school, I think...

Feeling the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind, the blue-haired girl could only shake her head violently. Under the strange gazes of Airi beside her and the boy opposite her, she lowered her head and filled out the workbook on the table.

Read! Read! Study sessions should be used for reading, not for daydreaming and getting distracted!

Seeing this, Aragaki Shun's eyes showed a thoughtful look, but he didn't pay too much attention to it and instead went along with it to begin tutoring the two people in front of him.

In the data cards compiled by the student council, Hasebe Haruka's academic ability was D, which was significantly lower than the average level of normal students, while Sakura Airi was much better, with a C+ rating that would be considered above average even in the D class.

However, perhaps because she hadn't focused much on her studies since entering the Advanced Education Center, or perhaps because the study atmosphere in Class D was too poor, Ai's grades had clearly declined significantly and didn't match the evaluation given during the school's interview at all.

To be honest, tutoring these slow learners requires a lot of patience and skill. After all, even if we disregard his current life, which is full of advantages, in his previous life, Shun Aragaki was still one of the top students in his class, despite being overwhelmed by a sea of ​​problems in high school. So sometimes I really don't understand why these poor students can't even understand some very simple things.

Feeling a pang of sadness at the differences between people, the leader of Class A looked at the obedient yet clumsy red-haired girl in front of him and decisively decided to just use his cheat code.

After all, he doesn't have much free time. Besides his work, he also has so many lovers to spend time with every day, so he really doesn't have much energy to waste on this kind of simple tutoring work.

"Listen to me, Airi, even if it's just for my sake, try your best to become the number one in Class D."

Deep within his pupils, tiny golden arcs of electricity flashed by. Under the influence of his near-supernatural mental attributes, Shun Aragaki's voice, focused on all his attention, began to possess extraordinary power, capable of imprinting easily overlooked words into people's minds, making them unforgettable for a long time.

"Once you become the top student in Class D academically and improve your physical fitness, how about transferring to Class A and becoming my girlfriend?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Sakura Airi's eyes. The moment she heard those words, her pupils dilated suddenly, her focus increased to an unprecedented level, and the whole world seemed to have completely changed.

My fingertips turned slightly white from nervousness, and it felt as if a camera shutter clicked, freezing even my heartbeat in time.

"...Huh?"

The voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, yet it carried a certainty that even surprised himself.

"Okay, okay..."

The answer came out without thinking, like an automatic shutter snapping photo.

The next second—

boom!

Blood rushed to her cheeks, and realizing her answer, her ears instantly burned bright red.
