Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

In a huff, Aimi turned over and lay down, covering herself with the blanket.

Never mind! Asking the ancient bridge won't change anything.

A night of silence.

……

It's another hopeful day.

Hayakawa opened his eyes under the influence of his biological clock, sat up blankly, stretched his shoulders, and then his eyes brightened slightly.

"You're back..."

His eyes gleamed, and he clenched his fist, holding it in front of him as he examined it quietly. In a deep voice, he said, "My power has returned."

Hayakawa suddenly stood up, looked at the scorching sun outside the window, and his expression was indifferent and detached.

In the last monthly exam, Natsukawa Masaki's sudden surge in performance nearly crushed him.

Endless hatred surged from the dark and deep canyon of his heart, enveloping his body and mind, shattering his spirit, and leaving him with no peace.

He was just one step away from severing his own life and falling from the throne, thus becoming the source of the eerie darkness deep within the forbidden zone.

Liking may fade, and love may gradually disappear with the passage of time, but hate and pain will not.

The excruciating pain is etched into my heart like a scar, flowing through my blood, and ultimately becoming who I am.

"I failed..."

Hayakawa slowly rose to his feet, his posture as upright as a sword pointing to the sky, and said softly, "But I have grown."

One day, he will sweep away the dust and filth, restore the land, eliminate all enemies, and establish an eternal imperial throne!

But for now, let's just wait and see.

"Humph…"

Hayakawa narrowed his eyes, the repulsive face of Natsukawa Masuzu appeared in his mind, and a cold smile crooked his lips.

To become king, one must proceed cautiously step by step.

Let me defeat you first.

……

In Ichinose Academy, Class 1-E, Doma Umaru dealt with the classmates who came over to chat with him, then wearily propped his head up with his hand.

Being beautiful is indeed very attractive, especially since Doma Umaru is a transfer student, so she naturally attracts a lot of attention. From yesterday to the next few days, she has been harassed by students to no end.

What's even more infuriating is that she found out where Hayakawa Shiro was.

She had already asked around and confirmed that Hayakawa Shiro did exist and was a student in Class B, but when she secretly went to Class B, she was told that Hayakawa had taken sick leave and wouldn't be able to come until tomorrow.

Oh, so he was sick that night?

Doma recalled the scene of meeting Hayakawa that night at the temple fair, and suddenly realized what had happened.

No wonder he can shoot so off-target; he must be very sick, because he can see double.

Hayakawa took sick leave, so Umaru had no choice but to go back to school. She waited anxiously all day and didn't sleep well at night, which caused her to wake up late and arrive at school later than usual.

When they arrived at school, it was already time for morning self-study. The teacher was standing on the platform watching the classroom, so Umaru had no chance to go out and find Hayakawa. It was already time for the first class.

It's okay, I'll go find Hayakawa after the first class ends.

Doma looked at the teacher in front of him, trying to calm his anxious heart.

He wore a mask the night before last, so I couldn't see his face, but he seemed to be quite tall and his build was just right, neither too fat nor too thin.

Doma Umaru recalled Hayakawa's appearance that night and took a slight breath.

What does he look like now? Is he very different from before?

Does he even remember me? Judging from his reaction back then, it seems like he's forgotten me.

But I've always remembered him...

I remember the humiliation he caused by his inability to accept defeat, which led him to pin me to the ground and beat me.

"..."

Doma clenched her fist expressionlessly. Things were different now. If Hayakawa was still as shameless as before, she wouldn't be able to defend herself.

It's okay, it's just one class, it'll be over soon.

Doma Umaru adjusted his mood and looked at the teacher on the stage with a peaceful smile.

I went to find him as soon as get out of class ended.

Chapter 119 Pain... Becoming Me

Doma Umaru planned to go find Hayakawa as soon as get out of class ended.

however…

The first period ended...

"Class, don't leave yet. Let me finish explaining this problem. It will be quick."

Doma Umaru: "..."

The second period has ended...

"Where are you going, Umaru? You have two swimming lessons in a row. The swimming pool is far from the school building, and you need to change clothes in between. If you don't hurry, you'll be late."

Doma Umaru: "..."

I feel like the world is working against me these past few days!

……

Meanwhile, Hayakawa spent the morning studying to her heart's content after arriving at school.

Ah, this feels so refreshing! It's so great to have a whole morning of undisturbed time for studying. Seriously!

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa's eyes lit up, and he let out a satisfied sigh. When he looked up, he saw Natsukawa Masuzu standing right in front of him. He was so startled that his body trembled, and the book in his hand almost flew out of his hand.

Good morning, Hayakawa-kun.

Natsukawa Masuzu looked at Hayakawa with a smile: "You seem to be in a good mood."

"Uh…"

Hayakawa was a little confused about the strategy of the piece in front of him, but he was in a good mood, so he casually said, "It's alright."

"is it?"

Natsukawa Masaki covered her mouth and chuckled: "Then I'm sorry, I may have to tell you some bad news."

"Ho..."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa gasped, his pupils contracting sharply to pinpoint size as he stared at the girl before him in terror.

I have such a strong sense of déjà vu. It was the same feeling I had when Natsukawa Masuzu told him that the school had invited the top two students to give speeches in each class.

That time, Hayakawa almost lost half his life.

Could it be... something similar?

"..."

Hayakawa recalled that unbearable memory, his heart ached violently, his jaw clenched, and his eyes turned red.

Liking...love...will disappear...

But it won't hurt.

An unforgettable pain... my heart... my blood... became me...

"Hmmmm~"

Seeing that Hayakawa looked like a frightened bird even before she had said anything, Natsukawa Masuzu was quite pleased. She put one hand on her hip, took out a piece of paper with the other, held it above her head, and tilted her body into a very strange pose.

Hayakawa: "..."

Is this the so-called JOJO pose? That's strange.

"what is that?"

Hayakawa frowned, staring intently at the piece of paper.

"Uh huh huh~"

Natsukawa Masuzu lowered her hand, held the paper to her chest, and said mysteriously with a pout on her pink lips, "Hayakawa-san, what you're about to see is hell."

"Gudong..."

Hayakawa's throat bobbed, and his heart leaped into his throat.

Natsukawa Masuzu smiled and handed the paper to Hayakawa: "Please take a look."

Hayakawa immediately looked at it carefully, and his expression froze when he saw the most conspicuous characters.

Off-campus internship.

"No? What is this?"

Hayakawa stared blankly at Natsukawa Masuzu, her hand trembling as she pointed to the words above: "What is this?"

"literal meaning,"

Natsukawa Masaki smiled and said, "Ichinose Academy has been invited by a local company to send a few of the best students from each grade to visit and learn at the company. The visit will last about a week and will take place around the end of this semester."

"what?"

Hayakawa's voice suddenly rose a little, and he said incredulously, "Shouldn't these kinds of activities be something we do when we graduate from university? We're only in our first year of high school."

"Who knows what's going on with this high school? Maybe they just like organizing all sorts of off-campus activities,"

Natsukawa Masaki said calmly, "You should be well aware of this."

"hateful…"

Hayakawa was speechless. He thought about the previous group camping trip outside the school, which had been a nightmare.

Hayakawa gripped the sheet tightly with both hands, scrutinizing every word, his expression incredibly somber yet earnest.

Since things have come to this point and there's no way to change them, the only thing I can do is participate in this activity.

The previous speech list had already humiliated him, but it could still be said to be a small, unplanned event organized by the school and ignored by everyone. However, if he were to be included in the list of speakers for this event, which was clearly well-prepared and had a large following, the Emperor's spine would probably be broken.

I have transformed into a vengeful ghost!

Hayakawa roared inwardly, gripping the flyer so tightly he almost tore it apart, and the dormant demon within him awakened.

This time, he will transform into the Demon of Learning, instilling fear and trembling in everyone!

……

The event will likely take place around the end of this semester, so there seems to be plenty of time.

The event lasts for a week, damn it... I'll miss out on so many practice problems in a whole week.

But I still have to go.

"Xia Chuan,"

Hayakawa reluctantly looked away from the flyer, turned to Natsukawa Masuzu with a serious expression, and asked earnestly, "This event will select the top few students in the grade?"

Natsukawa Masaki blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "Probably the top two."

"Oh?"

Hayakawa smiled: "Is that so?"

Then you only have two days left.

"Just kidding,"

Xia Chuanzhen's eyes flashed as she said, "This time the company has given out a lot of spots, for the top three, and some students with special talents can also go."
