Chapter 18: Am I cool in this pose?
Thanks to Xu Yuan's persistent and reasoned arguments, the application to withdraw from school was finally submitted.
During this time, Reiko Orito also called Shin Kamiya's guardian, who is a relative of his.
Shin Kamiya is 17 years old today, but he is not yet an adult.
After his mother passed away, the family appointed a relative as his guardian.
However, that person usually doesn't pay much attention to him.
Firstly, because the two sides don't have much contact.
Secondly, although Shin Kamiya is not yet an adult, he is not far from it.
He is 17 years old.
Not the kind of thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid.
Moreover, he grew up in a single-parent family and has good self-care abilities.
He can handle many things on his own.
However, the law stipulates that when a minor's guardian dies, a new guardian must be appointed for them.
Therefore, the family appointed a guardian for him.
But both sides understood that this was just a formality.
In reality, we don't have much contact.
After receiving a call from the school and briefly understanding the situation, the other party offered a few token words of dissuasion over the phone, and I reluctantly agreed.
After all, Xu Yuan's reasons were quite valid—
My mother passed away, and there is no source of income for the family. I need to start working as soon as possible to earn money to support myself.
Once this reason was presented, no one else could say a word.
What? Do you want to sponsor him?
Putting aside whether one has the ability or is willing to give it up, the key point is—this is not how you help others.
Or... lend him money?
Japanese people don't like lending money.
They would rather take out a loan from a bank or borrow money from loan sharks than borrow money from relatives, friends, or even their parents.
This is the prevailing view of money in Japanese society.
Some people even believe that lending money is tantamount to breaking off a relationship.
In short, no one made this suggestion.
Even if someone offers it, Xu Yuan will refuse.
In the end, Reiko Orito had no choice but to submit her application to withdraw from school.
As for the outcome, we don't know yet.
However, Shinji Shigaya's academic performance was above average, his physical education performance was mediocre, and he didn't have any special family background.
He was just an ordinary student.
Presumably, the school wouldn't go so far as to specifically dissuade them.
After finishing his business and leaving the teaching building, Xu Yuan was surprised to find a letter in the shoe cabinet that had appeared out of nowhere.
Upon seeing this, Shin Kamiya immediately exclaimed, "A love letter! It's a love letter!"
What else could be in a shoe cabinet besides love letters?
As he spoke, his face was full of envy.
They have the same face, so how come he gets bullied while Xu Yuan receives love letters?
Damn it! This is so unfair!
Xu Yuan had no interest in opening the letter, so he tossed it back into the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes, and left the teaching building.
School had already let out by then.
However, due to the prevalence of club culture in Japanese high schools, many students remain on campus.
The teenagers are enjoying their youth to the fullest.
"Winter break is just around the corner, have you all decided how you're going to spend it?"
I made plans to go out with my friends.
"Traveling to France with my family."
"I'm so envious. I still have to practice kendo at home."
"Speaking of which... haven't you guys noticed that Lord Kamishiro has improved a lot lately?!"
"Yeah, yeah! There used to be people in the department who could spar with her, but now there aren't any left."
"I've already defeated everyone in the kendo club!"
"I heard even the coach lost to her."
"Wow?! That's amazing!"
"As expected of Lord Kamishiro!"
"If things continue like this, I feel like our school has a chance to win the Yulongqi and University Sports Championships next year!"
"Ah! Hearing you say that makes me so excited!"
Students carrying bamboo sword pouches brushed past him, chattering excitedly.
With Xu Yuan's hearing, he could hear it clearly.
However, he wasn't interested.
However, Shin Kamiya followed and listened for a while longer.
Then, because the distance exceeded ten meters, it hit an invisible wall and had to return with a regretful expression.
"Lord Xu Yuan, they're talking about Lord Kamishiro!"
"..."
"Kamishiro Nagiyuki, the most popular girl at our school! I once saw her from afar, she's incredibly beautiful! Her grades have never fallen out of the top three in her grade, and she's the captain of the kendo club! I heard she comes from a wealthy family!!!"
"..."
"Sigh... Lord Xu Yuan, you tell me, we're all human, with two eyes and a mouth, so why does it feel like we're from completely different worlds?"
"..."
"Lord Xu Yuan, please give us some kind of response."
"I'm gone."
"Oh……"
……
What Xu Yuan didn't know was—
The school's most popular figure, Nagiyuki Kamishiro, whom Shin Kamiya had mentioned, was waiting for him on the rooftop of the school building.
She had long, silky black hair.
She is tall and has a dignified appearance.
Standing there, he was like a clear spring, exuding an incredible sense of freshness.
At this moment, she was leaning against the wall, holding a sword in her hands, her expression a mix of coolness and languor.
And standing next to her was another girl.
The girl's name is Takehara Shizuka.
She wore a school uniform and a maid's headdress; she was Nagiyuki Kamishiro's childhood friend and personal maid.
Kandai Nagiyuki glanced at Takehara Shizuka.
She didn't speak, but Shizuka Takehara understood what she meant—
The young lady asked her, "Am I cool in that pose?"
"Very handsome, Miss." Takehara Shizuka said earnestly.
Kandai Nagiyuki nodded, looked away, slightly raised her chin, and her expression became even more aloof.
She kept an eye out for any suspicious people around her.
But they still came up empty-handed.
until today--
A student who was used to be bullied by his classmates suddenly rose up and easily beat up the people who bullied him.
The news spread quickly throughout the school.
Many people speculate that he was secretly practicing kung fu, enduring humiliation and hardship until he had enough strength to unleash his full power.
But Nagiyuki Kamishiro had a different idea.
She felt that he had encountered something incredible.
Because... she encountered it too.
So, she wanted to get to know him.
At the same time, she didn't want any public interaction with that man, and didn't want to cause any gossip.
He only gained a little bit of power, yet he became so arrogant that he didn't even want to go to school anymore!
What a shallow man.
Do you think you're so great?
Society is not that simple.
She despised such a smug and petty person's attitude from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't want to go to him directly, lest people at school misunderstand, so she wrote a letter and asked Takehara Shizuka to put it in his shoe cabinet when no one was around.
The letter contained only one sentence—
"You ran into them too? Come to the rooftop of Teaching Building No. 1."
And it was not signed.
But she believed he would come.
It's a bit windy on the rooftop.
The biting cold wind tousled her long hair.
The lowest temperature today is 4 degrees Celsius.
With her face stiffened by the wind, Kandai Nagiyuki looked at Takehara Shizuka again.
Shizuka Takehara confirmed, "He's very handsome, Miss."
Kandai Nagiyuki's lips moved slightly as she asked, "Where's Kamiya Shinto?"
"They should be here soon."
"Then let's wait a little longer."
Kandai Nagiyuki nodded with a cool expression.
hateful!
Who exactly chose the rooftop as the location?
