Real teaching, but diary flow

From a broader perspective, judging solely from her screen time, she is clearly very popular.

But he certainly didn't come to conquer Ibuki.

"Don't be so nervous." Asakusa Tetsu propped his head up with the hand that was away from Ibuki Mio and looked at the screen in the distance: "If you're planning to fall in love with me on your own, I have no objection."

"But to say that I intend to hunt you down... that would be a bit of an overestimation of myself."

"She has no chest or butt, short hair, and even a bit of a violent streak due to her martial arts training. She also has a strong rebellious mentality and poor communication skills."

"If it weren't for the fact that you seemed to have some advantage in physical ability and judgment, you might have been assigned to Class D."

Her calm words were filled with words that were utterly painful to Ibuki Mio.

It is quite... humiliating.

But what's even more humiliating is that what he said was basically correct, something that even Ibuki Mio herself somewhat agreed with.

—Except for the last sentence.

"Huh? Class D? Are you kidding me? There's no way I'd be assigned to Class D." She raised her eyebrows dramatically, seemingly quite dissatisfied.

Yes, she was indeed assigned to Class C, which doesn't seem to be that much different from Class D.

His academic ability is not outstanding, and he has many shortcomings.

But Class D is still too exaggerated.

Anyone who has spent time at this school, especially those who have interacted with the students in Class D during their first year, will know the level of the students in Class D.

Being told that you'll be assigned to Class D is an extremely insulting thing.

Yes, it's not just about humiliation, it's about insult.

"My fists are hard. If you're free, come fight me after the movie." With just a few words, Ibuki Mio's initial awkwardness dissipated, and she followed her heart without even realizing it, extending an invitation.

She knew that Asakusa Toru was very strong, but without directly fighting him, she couldn't say exactly how strong he was.

Albert's dominance is obvious, but Asakusa Toru's dominance can only be understood by actually fighting him.

Although she knew she was bound to lose, Ibuki Mio was still itching to play.

"Okay," Asakusa Tetsu readily accepted the invitation, but he quickly changed the subject: "However..."

"Isn't it about time to stop changing the subject?"

"You know why I'm here."

He said.

"..." Ibuki Mio was silent for a moment, then muttered, "...Transferring to another class, right?"

That's right, I transferred classes.

Long Yuanxiang finalized the transfer to another class at the end of the preferential treatment exam.

Instead of waiting until the end of third grade to transfer them all at once, Long Yuanxiang has decided to transfer them to Class A in batches, little by little.

To solidify Class A's dominance and block their path to advancement in exchange for someone's support.

However, the first person to be transferred was neither Hiyori Shiina, whom he had previously discussed using to trap Toru Asakusa, nor his protégés Daichi Ishizaki and Albert Yamada, nor even himself, Ryuen Sho.

It was Ibuki Mio.

Despite being the most vocal 'rebel' with a strong aversion to Ryu Yuanxiang, she was chosen by Ryu Yuanxiang as the first person to transfer to his class.

what is this?

If someone doesn't listen to me, I'll give them twenty million.

Ibuki Mio couldn't understand it. She didn't really want to transfer classes that much, and even graduating from Class C wouldn't have much of an impact on her...

So, these past few days, she has been pretending not to have seen Long Yuanxiang's message.

Since it's summer vacation and I don't need to go to class, it doesn't matter if I ignore Longyuan.

Ibuki Mio had assumed that Ishizaki Daichi or Yamada Albert would approach her, or that one of them would be sent to deliver a message, or that Ryuen would send her a message directly asking her to come over and discuss things in person.

Unexpectedly, it was Asakusa Tetsu, the master of Class A, who came looking for them...

"...I really don't understand why it had to be me." With a sigh of relief, Ibuki Mio opened up and spoke her most genuine thoughts.

I originally intended to tell this to Ryuen, but since Asakusa Tetsu and Ryuen Sho are practically inseparable, it shouldn't matter if I tell him.

"In the end, I didn't make any special contributions to the class. I usually just do my job perfunctorily. According to seniority, I shouldn't be the one transferring classes."

"Why me? Is it because I don't fit in? Is it because I don't have many friends? Is it because I insulted Long Yuan?" she muttered. "But wait, this isn't some transfer to Class D, it's a transfer to Class A!"

"And it will cost 20 million. We worked so hard to get 20 million from the school, only to transfer me there. Isn't that a waste?"

Muttering and complaining, although her words were full of confusion, Ibuki Mio actually only showed one emotion from beginning to end.

disturbed.

Yes, it's unease.

When faced with unexpected windfalls, such as suddenly seeing a large sum of money fall from the sky, some people will accept it without hesitation and pocket the money, while others will feel uneasy.

I frantically wondered if the owner might need the money, and worried about what would happen to the original owner if they lost it.

Of course, this is the situation where the owner found the item, which may be different from the current situation where the shift is changed.

...So, let's take another example.

For example, she is actually an online streamer who makes a living by live streaming and receiving tips from viewers.

Because he has no special talents and can't offer any emotional value to the audience, he usually just gets by with his live streams, taking it one day at a time.

She would accept the small tips with peace of mind, smiling and saying thank you.

But what if, suddenly, all of a sudden, without any reason, a huge amount of money was given as a reward?

The thought that would cross her mind wouldn't be ecstasy, nor would it be the thought that she'd suddenly become rich.

Instead, it was panic.

This is too much, too much! Could it be a mistake? Will I have to get a refund later? What does he want in return for this money? What will happen if I can't get what he wants?

Ultimately, there is only one essence to this psychology.

'I don't deserve it.'

She understands her own value and her own worth, which is why she feels unworthy of this contribution and finds it difficult to repay it adequately.

Even with her best efforts, Ibuki Mio didn't think she could repay the 20 million yen 'loan' in the less than three years she had left.

That's right, Ibuki Mio has already tacitly accepted that the money was lent to her.

Otherwise? Can one really accept with a clear conscience the other party giving them 20 million for a class transfer?

Are you kidding me?

Moreover, if I really do transfer classes, after months of competition and rivalry, when relationships have already become rigid, choosing to transfer and integrate into an already established group...

Ibuki Mio felt that it was an absolutely desperate scene.

"You've talked too much nonsense. If you really don't want to transfer, I'll go back and tell Longyuan to find someone else."

Rolling his eyes, Asakusa Tetsu said quite frankly.

They whined and dawdled, taking forever to switch classes.

Share it or not, it's up to you. If you don't want to share it, I don't want to accept it either.

"Huh? Is that okay?" Ibuki Mio asked instinctively.

"Tch." Asakusa Tetsu chuckled. "Of course you can. If you don't want to transfer to this class, there are plenty of people who do. It's not like it has to be you."

Ultimately, Long Yuanxiang's plan was for the entire class to transfer.

The order of events did not affect his determination.

But Ibuki Mio had no idea how firm Ryuen's resolve was.

She only knew that the first person to turn the coin would definitely get a turn, but the person who turned the coin later might not.

"..."

It seems like I could have chosen not to. All I had to do was say, "Okay, I don't want to. Go talk to Longyuan," and I would be free.

But Ibuki Mio fell silent instead.

...Yes, of course she knew that this was just affected affectation that would make her look crazy.

Why all the fuss if you're just going to share it?

Why not take advantage of a free lunch?

But that's how people should be, isn't it? It's the people who have a problem who can accept benefits for no reason with too much ease?

Although she knew very well that no matter what the process was like, in the end, she would have to accept the outcome.

Because the number 20 million is too large.

If she really refuses, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

If she had really refused, if she hadn't been able to graduate from Class A, and was stuck in a low-level job, working part-time at a convenience store during university, struggling to pay for tuition, drinking and socializing for work, in those moments of immense pressure, she would definitely look back on today and regret why she hadn't just accepted.

"...No, never mind, I'll just stay." So, she put aside her usual awkwardness and gently shook her head: "Thank you."

After saying that, she took out her personal terminal, opened Long Yuanxiang's chat window, and sent a reply to the message that hadn't been answered for a week.

Okay, I understand.

【Then......】

【Thanks】

In the quiet and peaceful theater, where only the sound of the movie playing could be heard, the film smoothly came to an end.

The acknowledgments list began to scroll slowly across the screen, and the long, melodious end credits song began to play.

The scattered audience members gradually left, but Ibuki Mio remained seated and watched until the very end.

The following day, Ibuki Mio did not go to the movie theater again.

She returned to her dormitory, straightened her collar, and used her hands to force a smile, trying several times in front of the mirror to correct her less-than-attractive smile.

September.

Summer vacation is over, and the new semester has begun.

Mio Ibuki transferred to Class 1-A.

......

Chapter 263 Sports Festival

Without any warning, the sun was still shining brightly, and the weather seemed to be stuck in the summer heat.

But summer vacation suddenly ended.

While the students were still basking in the afterglow of their holiday.

Class has started.

Class A of the first year welcomed a new student who transferred to the class, while Class C of the first year lost a student who didn't fit in.

As for Class D of Year 1...

It remains the same.

Sakura Airi hasn't turned around yet.

Yes, although the funds for transferring classes are sufficient after factoring in the benefits of the preferential treatment exam.

but......

The school does not plan to give out money directly during the summer vacation after the exams.

The earliest payment dates were all in September.

So the money is still not enough.

The afternoon class turned into a two-hour class meeting.

Hoshinomiya Chie swayed and leaned onto the podium again.
