Real teaching, but diary flow

More importantly, during the preferential treatment exam, he quite decisively chose to collude with Asakusa Toru from Class A.

If it were just Ryuen, they might still hesitate a bit, but with Asakusa Tetsu added to the mix, the scales in their hearts immediately tipped towards seeking stability.

Of course, since it was a test that was practically a sure thing, Class B wouldn't be foolish enough to spend millions of points to exchange for these hundred class points.

I pondered for a long time, calculated for a long time, and discussed and deliberated for a long time.

The final price agreed upon by both parties was two million.

Upon closer examination, two million is indeed a rather appropriate number.

If each person earns 100,000 per month, and there are 400 students in a class, that's half of the total. The revenue from 100 class points can be converted into a return on investment in five months. For an individual student, spending 2 million is enough to easily settle the matter as hush money.

The selling price of information about the special entrance exams, the amount that can be withdrawn from the club under normal circumstances, and the amount of money to settle a stalker incident.

Well, that is indeed a very familiar number.

Clearly, Long Yuanxiang is one step closer to his plan.

Is this a good thing?

Yes, that's a good thing.

"Do you need a fire pack buddy?" the blue-haired, purple-eyed girl suddenly asked.

This is a good thing.

Chapter 279 Damn it, Honami Ichinose!

Although each academic year is divided into three semesters, the second semester is actually shorter than one might imagine.

At least in December now.

These first-graders are about to welcome their long-awaited winter vacation.

However, before the winter break, something unexpected seemed to have happened to Toru Asakusa.

Asakusa Tetsu: "...?"

Upon hearing Ibuki Mio's sudden remark, Asakusa Tetsu had only one thought in his mind at that moment.

Has she finally gone mad?

As someone who isn't very sociable, Ibuki Mio's social skills are undoubtedly poor.

She likes to have a sour face, even if she doesn't actually dislike other people, the difference in attitude makes her seem to be resisting social interaction.

This is her flaw, and also the most crucial reason why she was assigned to Class C.

But this is Class A.

It is a harmonious, friendly, and mutually supportive family.

A gathering place for little angels.

When faced with a child who doesn't fit in, the solution is not to let her isolate herself from everyone, but to approach her with love and influence her.

Therefore, although Ibuki Mio wasn't bothered too much by her classmates when she first transferred to the class, it was only because her classmates needed some time to observe her.

After briefly showcasing her exceptional physical abilities at the sports festival, Ibuki Mio quickly found herself in a very distressing situation.

Invitations and conversations that were almost harassing kept surrounding her, and even without her actively seeking out topics, the voices around her seemed incessant.

More importantly, all of these were 'well-intentioned'.

If it were just simple mockery or pure malice, perhaps Ibuki Mio wouldn't feel any pressure.

But what if this emotion is purely well-intentioned?

The situation will then become different.

What's most unacceptable isn't the extremely painful and malicious family of origin, but the twisted feeling of love that can be clearly felt even in the abyss of torment.

Asakusa Tetsu had no doubt that Ibuki Mio would suffer some kind of mental breakdown from all the torment.

So, is it now?

She finally lost her mind and asked a question that seemed out of character.

"...I'm not crazy." Seemingly sensing the unspoken meaning in Asakusa Tetsu's eyes, Ibuki Mio was silent for a moment before saying, "I just asked casually, so just pretend I didn't say anything."

She wasn't crazy, nor did she develop mental problems due to pressure from her classmates.

She just...

I couldn't help but feel a strange curiosity about this man.

Yes, that's right. She, who used to avoid Asakusa Toru like the plague, has now become somewhat curious about him.

What was the opportunity?

If I had to say, it would definitely be the Sports Festival.

Victory, victory, victory.

He participated in all the events and achieved an absolute victory that could be described as a horizontal comparison of all the groups. In the final relay race, he was clearly behind but overtook Nan Yunya in an instant.

He is very strong, not just based on hearsay about his strength in touring the entire deserted island, but through real experience and data.

...If you're not going to run so fast and win a gold medal at the Olympics, why are you just wasting your time at this lousy school?

That's the thought that couldn't be helped to arise.

Thinking about it carefully, although this guy has many flaws...

Yes, he's surrounded by many women; he's a complete scumbag.

Their attitude was awful; they had witnessed my embarrassing moments in the elevator.

They colluded with Long Yuanxiang, arm in arm.

But if you look closely, at least the face... is still pretty good.

Within her acceptable range.

Of course, of course, if that were all, she certainly wouldn't have suddenly blurted out something like that.

Decisive...

Perhaps it was that line spoken at the movie theater on that summer day.

She's flat-chested and has short hair, and her martial arts background gives her a violent streak. She also has a strong rebellious streak and poor communication skills.

At the time, I think I was more concerned about the possibility of being assigned to Class D.

But no.

What Ibuki Mio cared about most was actually this sentence.

What does it mean to have no breasts and no butt? Anyway, I should have at least a little bit, right?

What do you mean by short hair? What's wrong with short hair? Kushida has short hair too! Shiranami has short hair too! Why is short hair a flaw for me?

What's wrong with someone who practices martial arts? The idea that you have violent tendencies is pure conjecture, isn't it? I haven't used any violence against you from beginning to end, have I?

Poor communication skills...

She couldn't refute that.

Yes, that's why I ended up like this – I just can't communicate with people, so what?

If she were good at communication, she wouldn't have started with such a somewhat inexplicable remark.

“How could I pretend you didn’t say anything?” Quite presumptuously, that hand seemed to take her arm as if it had her consent, and put it around Ibuki Mio’s shoulder: “I’m very interested in this. You brought it up yourself, so of course I can’t pretend I didn’t hear it.”

"So, right here, let's test my...capacity?"

He wouldn't mind choosing a more public place to do this kind of thing.

"No no no no no no—"

Quickly, Ibuki Mio freed herself from Asakusa Tetsu's embrace.

The warmth and touch of the large hand still lingered on my skin, and through the school uniform, my body could feel that sensation even more intensely.

Her heart was beating strangely fast. Even though she shouldn't have any feelings for the other person at all, being held in his arms like this made her heart race.

The pungent aroma filled my nostrils, making my breathing quicken.

Strange... alluring.

She seemed to understand why Asakusa Tetsu was surrounded by so many women without them starting to fight.

This guy is probably a masochist.

Such a captivating charm!

Ibuki Mio's understanding was actually quite flawed. If Asakusa Tetsu knew what she was thinking at that moment, he would probably just laugh it off.

To this day, it seems there is no woman who is completely captivated by this face.

Honami Ichinose is drawn to the events before her first year of high school; Kikyo Kushida is drawn to this twisted relationship; Airi Sakura longs for someone who can give her love; Megumi Karuizawa is drawn to him because he truly erased her shadow; and Hiyori Shiina loves his writing.

Chihiro Shirami might be considered half of it.

A face is very useful, as it can greatly increase someone's initial liking for you, but what really matters are other things.

After all, if you were to ask why you like him and the answer is because of his looks, that would seem a bit too superficial.

What? You're asking why Asakusa Tetsu seems quite interested in Ibuki?

Hmm, as expected, it's because of her face, right?

“Not now, definitely not here.” After pulling away from Asakusa Tetsu without being stopped and calming her racing heart for a moment, Ibuki Mio added, “Even if we were to do it, I want to... well, let’s try fighting first.”

Besides exploring why his body was so magical, what Ibuki Mio was even more curious about was this.

Ibuki Mio is skilled in martial arts, and despite being a woman, she is quite confident in her fighting abilities.

Those who possess power are always confident when they encounter enemies.

When she was in Class C, she tried to challenge both Albert Yamada and Sho Ryuen.

Then he was kicked to the ground and deeply felt the gap between them.

The physical differences between men and women are indeed absolute.

Even so, Ibuki Mio was still very curious and wanted to know how big the gap was between herself and Asakusa Tetsu, who was said to be able to easily defeat Albert.

Is it... the kind that you can see clearly?

"Okay."

—It's the kind of thing that's completely incomprehensible.

After Asakusa Tetsu nodded in agreement to the duel, which was based on the premise that they would fight hard afterward, the two of them went through a lot of trouble to find a place that could be used as a sparring dojo, whether it was karate or taekwondo.

One side was required to wear protective gear, while the other side went into battle casually and lightly dressed.

"start."

As the sound faded, a sudden, immense force slammed Ibuki Mio to the ground.

They lost their ability to resist.

Then, the mischievous little hand reached out from the gap in the protective gear, gently kneading, twisting, and picking as if to collect interest in advance.

Only after stimulating the girl to awaken her consciousness did he slowly withdraw his hand.

"Waaah..."

She made a slight moaning sound, then got up again, pressed her hand against the area where the strange sensation was occurring, gritted her teeth, and stared at Asakusa Tetsu with a flushed face.

"..."

But she couldn't say anything, since she and he were about to do everything together anyway.

"Try it again, one more time!"

But she wasn't convinced.

They were defeated too quickly.

The spirited girl repeatedly got up only to be knocked down.

Healthy thighs, sweat-stained clothes, and tangled hair.
