We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

And now they're actually starting to recruit male students?

It doesn't sound like a decision that a conservative, prestigious university would make.

"hehe."

Mori Minami chuckled softly, a perfect smile curving her lips.

"This is a consideration by the school board."

She said it casually:

"Times are changing, and educational philosophies naturally need to keep pace with the times. The reason why Moon Forest School has become a century-old prestigious school is that it is not old-fashioned or conservative, but dares to innovate and change."

She leaned slightly forward, looking at Nan Yun Yuyue with gentle eyes, her tone slow and deliberate:

"Who knows, you and Xiao Mu might even be classmates by then."

She seemed to be joking, but Nan Yun Yuyue's heart suddenly tightened.

classmate?

The word echoed slowly in his mind for a moment, and then, like a pebble, sank into a bottomless vortex.

A vague sense of unease was gradually growing within him.

He looked at Minami, whose smile remained gentle, like that of a mother who simply hoped her daughter would make more friends.

But in Nan Yun Yuyue's eyes, her smile seemed to have a strange flavor.

It was a smile that... seemed like reality should always be this way.

Nan Yunyuyue's throat felt slightly dry, as if she had been silently enveloped by an invisible net, without even realizing she had a chance to escape.

The world he had imagined was being distorted and reshaped little by little under the prism of the "Dragon Clan".

Everything he had once believed in began to appear grotesque under the true face of this world.

The scariest thing is——

They were smiling and waving at him.

The memory ends here.

At this moment, Nanon Uzuki looked at the school gate in front of her, which was engraved with the words "Moon Forest Girls' Academy," hesitated for a moment, and then walked in.

In the academy, a group of girls dressed in sailor uniforms were hurrying past, shoulder to shoulder.

Many people were stunned for a moment when they saw Nan Yun Yuyue, a rare male, before being quickly pulled away by their best friends.

"Don't the students at this school ever read the bulletin boards?"

Nan Yun Yu Yue was somewhat speechless.

Nan Yun Yu Yue, male.

Previously a student at Kamogawa Chuo Junior High School, she has now transferred to Tsukimori Girls' Academy as a transfer student.

Tsukimori Girls' Academy, a century-old prestigious school, was previously one of the few schools in the Tokyo area that only admitted girls.

Until recently, after careful consideration, the school board felt that prolonged lack of contact with the opposite sex during adolescence might negatively impact students' mental health, communication, and expression skills.

This will have a negative impact on students' life development.

So they jointly decided to recruit a small number of transfer students from across Tokyo to try their luck at Tsuki no Mori.

"It certainly reflects the trend of declining birthrates in Japan."

Nanyun Yuyue sighed and said.

Having been transported to the worlds of MyGO and Ave Mujica, Nagumo Ugetsu originally had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts between the various landmine girls.

Carrying some memories of the future, copying songs and novels, becoming a plagiarist might not be a bad choice.

Because tuition is waived and the six-year integrated junior and senior high school system is very convenient, Nanon Ugetsu became one of the first transfer students.

But now that he knows the true nature of this world, he is even more uneasy.

Since Wakaba Mutsu is a hybrid, what about MyGO and the others in Ave Mujica?

He walked to the bulletin board and looked up at the notice that had just been posted a day ago.

To all students currently enrolled:

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone for your deep understanding of the Moon Forest educational philosophy.

[After careful consideration by the school council, it has been decided to admit a number of male transfer students. This is to inform you accordingly.]

"It's unbelievable that a girls' school with a century-long history would now be admitting male transfer students for the first time."

"It feels like the traditional model of old Japanese families—the adopted son-in-law is somewhat outdated, and his ability cannot be guaranteed. If he is accidentally cheated out of 168 billion yen, it will cause huge losses to the family."

"Letting teenagers have more contact with the opposite sex can effectively prevent boys from becoming 'simps' and girls from being lured away by 'ghostly' or 'yellow-haired' men."

Nan Yun Yuyue silently complained to herself:

"It can also prevent women from becoming 'simps' for other men."

Chapter 5 Boys at an All-Girls School

Nan Yun Yuyue stood in front of the notice board and yawned.

He had been waiting for a while, but the freshman guide responsible for welcoming him had not yet arrived.

A gentle breeze rustled through the cherry blossom trees beside the playground, and a few pale pink petals drifted down, swirling gently in the sunlight before landing on the ground, releasing a faint fragrance.

It's already late spring.

Only then did he realize.

In Japan, the spring semester usually starts around April, which is roughly the same time of year.

Nan Yun Yuyue felt a little tired from standing, so she leaned against the notice board.

Feeling utterly bored, he glanced at his watch and then looked up at the sky.

Waiting for someone is one of the most boring things.

Especially in a place like Tsukimori Girls' Academy, the presence of a rare male already attracts a lot of attention.

Although most of the students here come from wealthy and privileged backgrounds, they maintain a relatively reserved demeanor.

But the girls passing by couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, then quickly whispered among themselves and quickened their pace.

Nanon Ugetsu quickly got used to it.

He continued to look around idly, thinking to himself that Tsukimori Girls' Academy was indeed one of the top elite schools in Tokyo. Getting in wasn't just about grades; you either had to come from a good family or have exceptional talent in the arts.

"So this is Tsukimori Girls' Academy..."

Although a number of male transfer students were admitted this year for the first time, the standards remain stringent.

Academic performance alone? That's worthless here.

After all, Tsuki no Mori's reputation has never been based on academic achievements.

If it weren't for Nan Yun Yuyue's excellent guitar skills, and his ability to piece together his memories from his previous life and plagiarize several novels to become a somewhat famous light novelist, he probably wouldn't have even been able to get a chance to enroll.

Although his academic performance was excellent, for most people here, grades are probably the least influential thing in their life development.

After all, even degrees from the University of Tokyo are losing value, and the idea that the end of one's struggle is someone else's starting point is not just empty talk.

Thinking of this, Nan Yun Yuyue couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you hybrids doing? You have superhuman strength, yet society is still this pathetic. What's the point of your bloodline? Are you all like the dragons in fantasy novels, accumulating wealth every day and sleeping on gold coins?"

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

A girl wearing the uniform of Tsukimori Girls' Academy was running briskly toward him.

She walked quickly, her skirt swaying gently, her long, light green hair with a hint of pale gold was lifted slightly by the wind, revealing her delicate profile.

However, although her features were exquisite, her expression still had that familiar blankness, and even while running, her face remained completely expressionless.

Wakaba Mutsu.

Nan Yun Yuyue recognized her at a glance.

That's right, she's the student counselor who's responsible for guiding Nan Yun Yuyue into school today.

To help the few male transfer students adapt to this century-old girls' school as quickly as possible, Tsukimori Girls' Academy specially assigned some gentle and academically excellent students as guides.

They are responsible for helping transfer students familiarize themselves with the campus environment and integrate into school life.

Since there are very few transfer students, only a handful in each grade, arranging guides is not too difficult.

As it happens, Ruoye Mu becomes Nan Yun Yuyue's orientation guide upon entering the school.

Minami Mori truly possesses miraculous power; one could even say her words came true.

Ruo Yemu was not only his freshman mentor, but also his classmate.

After that night, the two added each other's contact information, but they never sent each other any messages.

It wasn't until just before her official enrollment that Nagumo Uzuki contacted Wakaba Mutsumi, after learning that her school guide was her.

The two agreed to meet at the bulletin board so that he wouldn't have to ask for directions once he entered the school.

As Nan Yun Yuyue watched Ruo Ye Mu run towards her, her gaze involuntarily fell on the small box she was carrying.

It looks like a chocolate box; the packaging is exquisite—a dark-colored cardboard box with the brand logo printed in gold lettering on the corners.

It's clearly not a cheap item you can buy on a regular supermarket shelf; it looks more like a custom-made item from a high-end dessert shop.

Before he could even speak, Ruoye Mu had already run up to him.

Her steps were quick but not disorderly; her long hair fluttered slightly as she ran, only falling onto her shoulders when she stopped.

Ruo Yemu stood still, slightly out of breath, her chest rising and falling gently.

Then she looked up and handed over the box she was holding:

"Rain Moon, here you go."

Her voice remained calm.

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at Ruoye Mutsu's face.

Even though she had just run over, her expression remained unchanged, her eyes as calm as if she had just walked out of the classroom, rather than running all the way here.

Even though she was standing in the morning light, wearing a little dress, the blank look on her face still made her look like a robot.

"No wonder he's called the Mutou Man."

Nan Yun Yuyue reached out and took the box, casually saying:

"Thanks."

Ruo Ye Mu continued to stare at him, and only spoke after a second:

"Xiangzi, it's too late."

Nan Yun Yu Yue raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ruoye Mu's style of expression is always concise, with abrupt pauses and unconventional logic.

It might take a normal person a second or two to grasp what she meant, and some people might not understand it for months or even a year.

But Nan Yun Yuyue was different. His brain could quickly fill in the missing subject, predicate, and object in Ruoye Mutsu's sentences, and he could even understand what she wanted to express the moment she finished speaking.

She meant that Toyokawa Shoko had encountered some trouble today, and as her friend, she couldn't get away for the time being, which was why she was late.

This chocolate box is most likely compensation from Wakaba Mutsumi for being late.

Nan Yunyuyue picked up the small box, gave it a quick shake, and felt that the weight inside was a little strange. So she raised the box a little higher and peeked inside through the gap.

A few wisps of lush green are faintly visible, their slender shapes carrying a hint of natural moisture.

He immediately understood.

This isn't chocolate at all; it's clearly cucumber.

Cucumbers grown by the Ruoye Musu variety.
