Start with Hayasaka Ai

This creates a sense of coincidence.

After all, they are in different classes. If you want to increase the time you spend together, you must strive for elective courses.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the elective course, she even paid attention to the teacher.

"Everyone, is everyone here?"

A cute pink-haired loli took out a stool and stood on it. She stood on tiptoe and with the help of the podium, she could barely see the whole classroom clearly.

She is only 135 cm tall and full of childishness, looking like a 12-year-old elementary school student.

Tsukuyomi Komoe, 19 years old, is a genius-level figure who completed all the credits and graduated early from Shuchiin University in the previous year, and was then re-employed as a high school teacher.

If she were in an ordinary high school, Tsukuyomi Komeng's appearance would definitely cause her a series of headaches and troubles, but Shuchiin has very good discipline, apart from anything else.

As for Yueyong Xiaomeng, everyone just made a few friendly jokes in private.

For example, the seven incredible immortal girls of Shuchiin, but in the classroom they will still be given the respect they deserve as teachers.

"Teacher Xiaomeng? Aren't you teaching chemistry? Why are you here?"

"Hum hum."

As if she had been waiting for these words, Yueyong Xiaomeng immediately revealed a smug smile on her chest.

"I'm only teaching chemistry because the school is short of a chemistry teacher. Actually, Teacher Xiaomeng can teach any subject! Today, the art teacher is on leave, so I'm here to cover for the class."

"Wow, Teacher Xiaomeng is so amazing!"

"Teacher Xiaomeng is so awesome!"

"Ahem, well, now that everyone's here, let's officially begin. This class will be about portrait painting. For beginners, there are a few things to note..."

Yueyong Xiaomeng explained the key points of painting normally and gave corresponding demonstrations. She has considerable artistic skills. It can only be said that she is a genius and all-round teacher and it is not an exaggeration.

After explaining the basic techniques, Yueyong Xiaomeng looked at the lesson plan again.

Huh? Is this how the lesson plan was written from the beginning?

"Well, next, let's pair up with students who have similar seat numbers and start practicing drawing each other's portraits!"

After Tsukuyomi Komoe finished speaking, the students began to practice in pairs.

Before painting, you naturally need to carefully observe the object you are about to paint.

So, as planned, Kaguya Shinomiya began to observe Shirogane face to face.

Hmm... a little shy.

From Shirogane's perspective, Kaguya Shinomiya blushed again for no apparent reason.

However, beautiful girls have a special charm when they are shy, and Baiyin finds it particularly pleasing to the eye.

Although I haven't tried it, perhaps I can express this feeling in the form of painting.

"I didn't expect that the president would be in the same group with Kaguya-chan." A wild Fujiwara Chika came over, diluting the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

Then he moved closer to Hayasaka Ai, "I'm in the same group with Hayasaka-san, hehe... But Hayasaka-san is a beauty after all, so I'm worried about whether I can draw your portrait well..."

"..."

Although Hayasaka Ai inexplicably felt that something ominous was going to happen, she still touched Fujiwara Chika's head to comfort her.

"Don't overthink it, just draw carefully. After all, when it comes to drawing, you just need to capture what you see with your hands."

Shinomiya Kaguya spoke calmly, and then with a few swipes, a sketch that was 90% similar to Shirogane appeared on the paper.

But unlike his painting style of what he said was what he saw, he also added two roses in the blank space on the paper.

Shinomiya Kaguya was silent.

Oops, that's a little too cool. And what are those roses in the background? Why are they there?

Could it be that someone with super powers deleted her time?

Did she really draw this?!

If I show this portrait to the president... "Oh? Is this me? I look like a character from a shojo manga. So this is how I look like in your mind, Shinomiya? I'm really cute."

This will definitely happen!

No, no, I have to draw it a little uglier...

While working on modifying the painting, Kaguya Shinomiya also secretly glanced at Shirogane opposite her, wondering what he looked like when he was painting seriously.

But... why are you keeping your eyes closed and not moving?

He clearly started writing at the beginning.

Not only was Shinomiya Kaguya confused, but even a girl named Kashiwagi Nagisa who was standing near Shirogane asked curiously, "President? Are you asleep?"

"No." Baiyin answered immediately.

"Well...class exercises will be part of the final grade for the elective course. Although the Q version of Kaguya-san you drew on paper...the childish strokes are quite cute, it would be better to be more serious..." Kashiwagi Nagisa reminded again.

"I'm really serious right now. Painting isn't just about depicting what's in front of me on paper in a one-to-one scale. I also need to capture the beauty of Shinomiya. So this first drawing is definitely not going to be good; it's going to be a failed attempt."

Shirogane opened his eyes, and after a few minutes of reminiscing about Shinomiya Kaguya, he was now ready to create.

Tear up the waste paper and replace it with new paper.

The mere movement of lifting the brush revealed the spirit of a top artist, which surprised Kashiwagi Nagisa.

But what surprised her even more was Shirogane's declaration. Drawing the beauty of Shinomiya Kaguya...was this considered a declaration of his feelings?

Could the rumors in school be true?

Baiyin began to paint.

"This picture won't do. It doesn't capture her fragile yet resilient character."

"This one isn't quite up to par either. It doesn't capture the warmth in those eyes or the wind chime-like coolness of her hair..."

Soon, after several failed attempts, Baiyin, who became more and more familiar with painting skills, quickly finished another one.

This portrait was painted without any instruction, and he mastered many delicate brushstrokes. His control over every aspect of the character was a miracle among beginners, which made him quite satisfied.

Audience member Kashiwagi Nagisa was also amazed and said, "It's amazing, President, you can grow so quickly in such a short time."

Bai Yin honestly said, "Because the beauty of the subject matter is there, I just need to express my thoughts with my brush according to my heart, so that I can break through my own limits."

Baiyin didn't have any outstanding talent in painting before, and his skills were just average. His family didn't let him learn such a meaningless skill.

I am extremely happy that I can create such beautiful paintings now.

He smiled and said, "Now, as for painting beauty, well... I really enjoy it."

Kashiwagi Nagisa: “!!!”

The so-called beauty refers to Kaguya Shinomiya, and he even said frankly that he likes her very much...

The girl, her mouth full of dog food, returned to her seat in disappointment.

At first, Shinomiya Kaguya was a little unhappy when she saw Kashiwagi Nagisa approaching her, but fortunately, the distance between the two was appropriate, and there was not much interaction, so she just acted as a spectator.

The girl returned to her painting.

In order to avoid being laughed at, the president must be drawn a little uglier.

But, but... it's so hard to do it!!!

Soon it was time to hand in our homework.

Chapter 80 Hayasaka Ai is somewhat unwilling (2k reward)

"..."

Hayasaka Ai looked at the portrait of herself that Fujiwara Chika had drawn in her hand, and then looked at the one that Shirogane had drawn for Shinomiya Kaguya.

On this side are the graffiti of kindergarten children, and on that side are the graduation works of art students.

The huge contrast made her feel a little unbalanced.

But this imbalance accounts for only a small part of the reason for the unhappiness in my heart at this moment.

She noticed that Shirogane was very focused and attentive throughout the entire process of painting Shinomiya Kaguya's portrait.

In fact, in this class, she was originally sitting in a seat behind Baiyin, and there was a vacant seat in front of her.

If they were sorted by adjacent seat numbers, she and Shirogane would be in the same group.

Unfortunately, this small loophole was discovered by Kaguya Shinomiya, who hinted to her to sit in the front before class to fill the loophole and allow the plan to be implemented smoothly.

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya smiling happily when she received the portrait drawn by Shirogane for her, Hayasaka Ai felt extremely complicated.

The person originally drawn by Baiyin should have been her.

"I declare that the pair with the perfect score for this class is Shirogane-san and Shinomiya-san!"

Yueyong Xiaomeng projected the two people's paintings on the big screen, which immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.

After repeated hesitations, Kaguya Shinomiya was unable to kill Shirogane in the painting, so she was directly superior to the others in terms of realism, not to mention that she had received professional painting training and her painting skills were impeccable.

Although Shirogane's paintings may not seem amazing at first glance, and are not as detailed as those by Kaguya Shinomiya, if you look closely, you can experience a different feeling, as if they are not paintings, but spiritual beings.

One is realistic and the other is freehand. In Yueyong Xiaomeng's opinion, both are good, so she gave them full marks.

"Here, I hope you can keep up the good work. Teacher Xiao Meng also hopes to see you next time... I don't think it's going to work out. I'm only teaching this class. So, I hope to see you balance chemical equations beautifully in chemistry class! That's it, get out of class dismissed—"

After hearing the order to end the get out of class, the students packed up their things and left one after another.

Hayasaka Ai is also one of them. She is laughing and joking among the three hot girls, looking lively and cute.

But when no one was paying attention, he turned around and secretly glanced at Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya who were discussing painting techniques.

Those beautiful blue eyes revealed an unpredictable emotion, then returned to normal and left with the main group.

◇

"What should I do! Hayasaka—President's birthday is coming up soon. What gift should I give him?"

Familiar place, familiar people, familiar tone, familiar request for help.

How many times has Kaguya Shinomiya asked me for this kind of advice?

Hayasaka Ai is already too numerous to count.

Having been harassed by this kind of question for a long time, Hayasaka Ai has also summed up a set of words, and immediately said: "If it's a gift, wouldn't this be enough?"

She wrapped the red ribbon slightly around Kaguya Shinomiya, but didn't tie it tightly.

Shinomiya Kaguya blinked in ignorance, "What is this?"

"Prepare a huge box and shrink it. Then, when the president opens it, he will say, 'I am the gift!' Unfold it like this. Remember, don't wear anything other than this red ribbon."

"You can't wear a red ribbon as clothing! And this is like an invitation!"

Blushing, Kaguya Shinomiya quickly tore off all the red ribbons around her.

Hayasaka Ai's suggestions are getting more and more outrageous. If she has the ability, why doesn't she try it herself to see if she can do it?

But this sentence was just something she thought about in her heart. If Kaguya Shinomiya really wanted to say it out loud, it would be absolutely impossible.

After all, what happened last time I angered Hayasaka Ai is still fresh in my memory.

If she said that this time, I'm afraid Hayasaka Ai could really do it.

Inside the large cardboard box, a beautiful girl, covered only by a ribbon, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, lay quietly...

The president is a man after all, he definitely can’t help himself!!

Although it’s not necessary for this birthday, it’s not impossible if you start dating someday in the future… Anyway, make a note of it first.

Shinomiya Kaguya spoke again, "I want to choose a gift that is more in line with common sense, preferably one that the president would like. Hayasaka, do you know what the president likes?"

Hayasaka Ai raised an eyebrow.

"Miss Kaguya, you've been with the president for so long, and you don't even know what he likes?"

"No, there's nothing I can do. He hasn't said anything himself..."

"Then you can just ask directly, right?"

Hayasaka Ai pursed her lips slightly, "After all, the president knew that you, Kaguya-san, liked fruit cake, and he asked directly."
