Chapter 3, High School Boys’ Break

The lunch break was an hour and passed quickly.

At about 13: p.m., Zhuo returned to the classroom.

His seat is at the table closest to the entrance, sorry there is no window seat in the back.

There is a seat for one person at a table, with a handbag hanging on the left side of the table and an umbrella hanging on the right side.

Each student has a single desk and there is no such thing as sitting at the same desk as others, so there is no need to go through the "38th parallel" again. We are thankful.

As soon as Zhuo entered the classroom, he found that the atmosphere in the classroom was a little strange.

Although they were whispering in groups of three or five, the voices were much quieter than usual, which made Zhuo unconsciously slow down his movements when pulling out the tables and chairs.

"Hey! Utsunomiya."

Someone called him.

When Zhuo looked up after hearing the voice, he saw the most handsome face in the class walking towards him with a sunny smile.

Class leader: Tomokazu Kanda.

Although there is no discrimination against otakus in real Japan, class hierarchies still exist in the classroom.

Tomokazu Kanda, the captain of the football team, is also top student, handsome, sunny, cheerful and helpful. He is a famous handsome guy in the school. This guy may have saved the universe in his previous life.

Kidding.

Zhuo also knows that being a handsome guy is a very hard job. He has to do his hair regularly, run to keep in shape, and choose clothes carefully.

He can't do these.
There was a time in my previous life when I was particularly envious of the handsome guys in my class... Later, when I left school and entered society, I found that being handsome was useless.

——So he began to envy the rich.

Back to the point.

Class monitor Tomokazu Kanda is not a handsome guy in the traditional sense. He is just so damn perfect, he is simply the prince charming who walked out of a Grimm's fairy tale.

While doing well in his studies, he also never forgets to help his classmates. He is very friendly to everyone and always has a sunny smile on his face. Zhuo sometimes wonders, does this guy have no worries in his life?

Such a prince charming, let alone the little girls in school...if Zhuo was a girl, he would have to A her too!
"Hello, Kanda." Zhuo also greeted him.

But he didn't stand up. It's great that we didn't care about these things when we were students.

"Reading again~" Kanda saw the national history textbook in Zhuo's hand, and his expression became inexplicable, "You can always come to me if you have any questions."

Zhuo always felt that he had misunderstood something and was too lazy to explain.

The reason he sat down to read was just to cover up his embarrassing situation.

His seat is closest to the gate and is at the throat of the classroom. Gathering and chatting here will affect the entry and exit of the corridor, which is a taboo for Japanese people who pay special attention to not having their personal lives disturbed.

Zhuo was too lazy to go to other people's seats to argue, so he just pretended to read a book.

So he looked into Kanda's eyes and nodded seriously: "Well, thank you Kanda, I really like going to school and reading. I am really fascinated by things that cannot be learned in the brain."

Kanda Tomokazu: “…”

"Forget it..." Kanda smiled bitterly and held his forehead, not wanting to talk about these things anymore.

He raised his hand and took out a stack of printed forms, pulled out a blank one and placed it on the table: "I didn't find you after physical education class, so now I'm handing it to you."

Fortunately, I ran fast, Zhuo thought.

"Volunteer survey form..." Zhuo picked up the form on the table and lost himself in reminiscence.

"This is the old rule of the academy, once a year, remember to give it to me before school is over~" Kanda patted his shoulder and was about to turn around and go back, but was pulled back by Zhuo again. Kanda turned around and looked at him.

"Hey! Kanda, what happened?" Zhuo grabbed Kanda's clothes with one hand and pointed at the atmosphere in the class with the other.

Kanda glanced in the direction he pointed, and immediately realized: "You don't know?"

"Know what?" Zhuo asked curiously.

Kanda pondered for a moment, then leaned down and said stealthily, "After physical education class today, Romanov was called out to confess his feelings..."

Seeing Kanda being so cautious, I thought there was some earth-shattering news.

Is this the result?

Is there anything strange about this?
Zhuo looked at Kanda with disdain, never expecting that beneath this handsome face, there was a gossipy heart.

"Don't look at me like that. I heard about it too. Everyone is talking about it. Why are you still looking? You guy..." Kanda was annoyed by him and stepped forward to strangle his neck with his arms.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die--" Zhuo cooperated and shouted exaggeratedly.

Neon's body language and speech need to be exaggerated. If everything you do is bland, people will think you are impolite and that you look down on others.

After shouting twice, Zhuo stopped, revealing a calm and obsessed expression, and murmured in an exaggerated tone: "Ah~~ Is this the first hug from the prince? It's so warm. I can already feel the resentful gaze of the vicious female supporting role."

“Uh…” Kanda froze, slowly loosened his hand, stood up straight and smiled bitterly: “I’m really scared of you, don’t call me that, please.”

Kanda bowed and made a solemn request.

Zhuo chuckled twice.

“You really don’t know about this?” Kanda, who was bending over, suddenly looked up and came closer again: “I heard that the person who asked Romanov to leave this time was a senior in the third year, and the captain of the tennis club…”

Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

So, what’s so great about this? He is still the leader of the Return to the House Department!

In Japan, the class hierarchy between seniors and juniors is very clear. No matter how outstanding the junior is, if he or she is disrespectful to the seniors, he or she will be ostracized by the whole society.

Even when confessing, the junior needs to apologize first if he or she rejects the senior.

But Zhuo felt that Ling would not be that kind of person.
Even someone like him who doesn't have any real ability has high aspirations, let alone Zero.

as predicted,

"I heard that the senior was very angry after being rejected, and he might even hit Romanoff..." Kanda stopped talking here, but found that Utsunomiya did not show any anxious expression, so he asked distressedly: "Aren't you curious about what will happen next? Romanoff is a petite high school girl, and the other party is a senior in the third year."

"Ahh——I'm dying of curiosity." Zhuo said in a voice without any change in tone.

“I really can’t do anything about you…” Kanda became even more depressed. “It seems that Romanov has learned military fighting techniques. That senior was beaten into the infirmary by him. This matter has spread throughout the school.”

"Swoosh!" Zhuo nodded.

This is the development that should happen.

Seeing that he still had a dull reaction, Kanda said helplessly: "You really are..."

He changed his words halfway through: "As expected of you, Utsunomiya~"

Such an inexplicable sigh.

Zhuo was left with a face full of question marks, not knowing whether he was being praised or scolded.

Kanda wanted to say something else, but the teacher, who was also the homeroom teacher of their class, came in from the door, followed by a girl with golden hair, who was Zero.
