Chapter 50 Asuna is also an upperclassman
Xia Sheng looked at the girl who had appeared and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He looked at her again, and she was still there; he hadn't been seeing things.
It really is Mai Sakurajima.
Mai Sakurajima also attends Kyōshū Bunmoku High School; she's his senior.
He hadn't noticed at all.
That's normal, though. She's an actress, and she doesn't usually have time to attend school, so naturally, not many people talk about her.
He didn't make a point of getting to know the second and third graders.
But now, it's no longer an option to be ignorant.
Since Mai Sakurajima is involved, there might be other people she knows.
Whether you can get access to it is one thing, but understanding it clearly is another.
You need to be confident in your abilities.
Mai Sakurajima ignored the people around her and calmly walked into the teaching building. Her slender figure was captivating.
The atmosphere was a bit quiet, and Xia Sheng didn't dare to move.
If he follows them into the teaching building, everyone will definitely misunderstand and think he wants to chat up Mai Sakurajima.
He really wanted to, but since they were complete strangers, he was sure he'd be turned away, so he decided not to do anything foolish.
But, do we have to stay here forever?
Xia Sheng looked at everyone who was still lost in thought and was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether to leave or not.
"Natsuo?"
Just then, a lively voice suddenly rang out, breaking the atmosphere.
Once everyone came to their senses, they started walking around, forming small groups and discussing things in hushed tones, releasing their excitement.
The people on the screen appeared before their eyes. They were so far away, so famous, and so rare to see up close. How could they possibly remain calm?
In fact, many students at Jingxiu Wenwu High School would boast to outsiders that Sakurajima Mai was their classmate, senior, or junior.
For many, having even the slightest connection with someone unattainable is something to be proud of.
To become the center of attention and to feel a sense of satisfaction, showing off is inevitable.
This is normal human psychology.
They are all teenagers, their minds are not mature enough, and they simply cannot control themselves.
Who can blame them when Mai Sakurajima is not only famous, but also a beautiful girl and a dazzling presence that you can get close to?
It's normal that people can't hold on.
"Yuigahama, you've come at the perfect time." Natsuo breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Yuigahama Yui who was walking over.
"What's wrong? Natsuo, why are you standing here?" Yui Yuigahama came up to him and asked in confusion.
"There's no way to leave."
"Can't get away?"
"Let's talk as we walk."
"oh."
The two walked side by side toward the teaching building.
Xia Sheng began to explain, "Do you know who I just saw?"
"Who is it? Yukinoshita-kun?"
"Someone more famous than her... probably?"
"More famous? Who is it?" Yui Yuigahama couldn't guess for a moment.
Who is the most famous person in our school?
"As for our school..." Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment, and one person immediately came to mind.
"It can only be Sakurajima-senpai, right? Wait! You didn't just see Sakurajima-senpai, did you?"
Yui Yuigahama realized what was happening and looked at him with envy.
"What, you're a fan of Sakurajima-senpai too?"
"Of course! I'm a huge fan of hers!" Yui Yuigahama replied excitedly.
"You actually saw Sakurajima-senpai... She's back for her exams, right? I wish I'd come earlier..."
A look of regret was visibly visible on her face.
"It's alright, there should be another chance tomorrow," Xia Sheng comforted him.
"Yes! There's still a chance tomorrow. Let me check the time. I need to come early tomorrow!" Yui Yuigahama immediately took out her phone and set the time.
"Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?" Xia Sheng's lips twitched as he watched her behavior.
This is truly a die-hard fan; their affection for Mai Sakurajima is clearly evident.
"No exaggeration! You have no idea how famous Sakurajima-senpai is. She's also so beautiful, she's my idol!" Yui Yuigahama retorted.
"Oh, I see. If you ever get the chance to chat with her in the future, wouldn't you go crazy?"
"Chat with Sakurajima-senpai? Impossible, too difficult, hopeless." Yui Yuigahama shook her head and said with great confidence.
Xia Sheng really hoped she would channel that confidence into solving problems.
These past few days, he's been helping her with her homework and has noticed that although she clearly knows how to do the problems, she lacks confidence and doesn't dare to believe the formulas and answers that come to mind.
She lacks confidence in herself.
"That's hard to say," Xia Sheng said meaningfully.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yui Yuigahama looked at him, puzzled.
"It doesn't mean anything." Xia Sheng shook his head and walked towards the boys' shoe changing area.
It's too early to say anything definitive, but he has a feeling.
Yui Yuigahama stood still, tilting her head to look at Natsuo's back, without giving it much thought.
She didn't think he knew Mai Sakurajima.
I guess it was a prank on her.
Thinking about it this way, she suddenly realized it was very likely, and she warned herself not to fall for it.
After changing his shoes, Natsumi waited for Yui Yuigahama to come over, and then they walked towards the classroom together.
"Let me ask you a question. Besides Sakurajima-senpai, are there any other well-known people at our school?"
"No, there's only one actress, Sakurajima-senpai," Yui Yuigahama replied directly.
"You asked the wrong question. The correct question should be: Are there any other famous people at school, like Yukinoshita and Shiina?"
"Oh...why are you asking this?" Yui Yuigahama didn't answer immediately, but looked at him strangely.
"Just curious."
"Not with any ulterior motive?"
"How could that be?" Xia Sheng denied righteously.
"Alright then." Yui Yuigahama didn't notice anything unusual and decided to believe him for the time being.
So, is there?
"Let me think... In the second year, Senior Yuuki is quite famous. She is excellent in both character and academics, gentle and lovely, and also a young lady from a wealthy family."
"Yuuki-senpai?"
Xia Sheng was taken aback, and then several names immediately popped into his mind.
"Rito Yuuki? No, it's senpai, could it be Mikan Yuuki?"
"What are you talking about? Yuuki-senpai is of course Yuuki Asuna-senpai, who are you talking about?" Yui Yuigahama looked at him in confusion.
"Oh..." Xia Sheng nodded, feigning composure, but his heart was in turmoil.
Asuna Yuuki... isn't that Asuna?
Why is Asuna at this school too?!
Could it be that he can play SAO?
Xia Sheng planned to check for information about the game when he got back.
If that's really true, then it's a bit too incredible. Mai Sakurajima might have some kind of puberty syndrome, and Asuna is in a death game.
That's so relatable!
"Natsuo, are you interested in Yuuki-senpai?"
"I'm not interested. I've never even met her," Xia Sheng denied.
This Yuuki Asuna still needs to be confirmed. It's hard to say if she's Asuna. What if it's just a coincidence of names?
However, since Yukino and the others already exist in this world, Natsuo actually believes it is Asuna.
Asuna is alright, as long as it's not Mikan Yuuki. Aliens and stuff are too dangerous.
Wanting to see Lala in person is one thing, but having the chance to see her is another.
"Wait a moment."
When the two arrived at the classroom door, Yui Yuigahama grabbed Natsuo's sleeve and looked around suspiciously, as if she was wary of anyone coming.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you say you were going to tell me about that place? When are you going to tell me?" Yui Yuigahama asked in a low voice.
"After the exam in the morning, during the lunch break."
"Lunch break?"
"Okay, I'll take you somewhere to meet a few people."
