I don’t know what Shinichi Asami said to him, but it seems that Tenkai regarded Willy as a naive young man who had plunged headlong into this industry.

Although it wasn't necessary, Willie understood that the other person was doing it for his own good.

In fact, someone like Willy, who was two years older, should have entered school with the first graders. It was just that Shinichi Asami was too impatient and recklessly placed him in the third grade, the same year as the other three.

The story of the sky and the sea has been told, and Willy has also keenly noticed the movement of the wind.

The monsters' abilities are derived from ghost stories. The more people know about these stories, the stronger the monsters become. This is why the Yumishi covet the protagonists of those ancient legends.

According to Tenkai, Izumi's abilities are clearly related to time.

It's not about completely stopping time... but rather speeding up or slowing down the flow of time.

Seeing that Willy seemed unmoved by his words and instead lost in thought, Tianhai sighed, shifted his foot, and spoke:

"Let's go, there's still time. We should be able to get to the classroom before the bell rings completely."

But before he completely stepped through the door, he still gave Willy a deep look.

"Don't easily trust others in this class."

The bell rang for a long time, and before Willy could react, he walked straight to the podium and knocked on the table to quiet the audience.

"This semester, a new student will be transferring to our class. Let's give them a round of applause."

Vili walked over to Tianhai's side, but before he could speak, someone suddenly entered from outside the door.

"Teacher Tianhai, I've been notified of an impromptu meeting. Are you available now?"

"..." Tianhai looked around and beckoned to someone in the corner, "Ji..."

"teacher."

His words were interrupted by another person who suddenly stood up, causing the table to shake.

"Let me lead it—"

He looked at Willy, who nodded his chin, a slight smile playing on his lips, and introduced himself:

"A shallow and unreasonable view."

The person continued smoothly.

"—Asami Miri, right?"

"Professor Tenkai, the meeting is about to begin..."

Tianhai hesitated for a few seconds, then heard another urging voice from the doorway. He finally made up his mind and hurriedly walked out the door.

"Sato, I'll leave it to you."

But in the instant he brushed past Willy, he left behind another sentence.

"Remember what I just told you."

After Tianhai left, amidst the silent scrutiny of the crowd, Vili acted as if he knew nothing.

"Asami-kun, there's only one seat left in the class that's empty."

Sato, with a friendly expression, led Willy towards the back row of seats against the wall near the back door.

"You don't mind, do you?"

"Is Sato-kun's seat over there?"

Vili didn't respond; instead, he pointed to the empty seat in the front row.

"I think that spot is perfect. Since you're so kind, Sato-kun, could you please switch places with me?"

"W-what?"

Sato's expression froze, and a faint laugh could be heard in the air.

However, to Vili's surprise, although Sato's face twitched twice, and he was about to unleash his anger on the person in front of him in the next second, he forcibly held back and spoke up rather readily.

"If you like, that's fine too."

Then he changed the subject.

"It's still class time, so you can sit here for now. After class, we'll switch desks and chairs, which will save me the trouble of tidying up."

"My drawers are such a mess, they're overflowing with stuff."

He touched the back of his head as he spoke, looking quite embarrassed.

Is that so?

Seeing that Willy seemed to believe him and even obediently pulled out a chair, about to sit down, Sato felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Immediately, immediately—

There will be new toys for "that" ghost story.

Just then, the person sitting in front of him suddenly turned around, and a pair of smiling, almond-shaped eyes looked over.

"Your opinion is shallow and flawed, isn't it?"

Hearing someone speak to him, Willy stopped moving, straightened up the next second, put his hand on the back of the chair, and looked over curiously.

He didn't notice the regret and anger in Sato's eyes.

"Yes you are……?"

"My name is Kii Kanade, and I'm the class representative in the third year."

The boy who spoke was dressed in a light-colored kimono, with long, smooth, black hair tied back and skin as white as jade. He held a blank folding fan in his well-defined hands, which obscured the corners of his mouth, but his eyes revealed a gentle and affectionate smile.

What a dashing and refined young nobleman!

The second main character has appeared.

Speaking of which...

"Il, the original owner didn't tell these people her real name in the chat history, right?"

"Yes!" The system checked again. "He didn't send any photos either! He added them as a newcomer to the Xijianshi lineage, initially planning to build rapport online while simultaneously pursuing them in real life, before finally revealing his identity. The main point was to create a sense of contrast!"

"He's quite good at it."

Willie remained noncommittal, but this time it certainly wouldn't cause him any trouble.

He nodded calmly.

"Kii-kun, I'll remember that."

"Kii, is there something you need? Perhaps you should let the new student sit down first; he must have walked a long way to get here."

A sense of foreboding rose in Sato's heart, and he quickly interrupted their conversation.

But Kii Kanade's words shattered all his hopes in the next second.
