For Sayu, she currently has one very important thing to do, which is... going to school.

"...Mr. Fang Zheng, do we really have to go to school?"

Looking at the high school in front of her, Sayu clearly showed considerable dissatisfaction.

"You are a high school student, and this is also your brother's request. This is the exchange condition. Just go to school obediently."

“Haha…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Sayu sighed helplessly.

"I never thought I would fail a grade..."

"Who told you to run away from home? It's all your own fault."

"It's really annoying to transfer to a new school in your second year of high school, because everyone has already formed their own clique, and I'm the only one who's left out."

"School is a place for learning, these things don't matter."

"Well, that means if someone bullies me, I can still hit them on the head with a fire extinguisher, right?"

"I suggest you take him to the bathroom, put him in a bag, and then give him a good beating. Besides, you won't care about bullying now, right?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Sayu smiled slightly.

“I am no longer who I used to be.”

"Well, come on, I have a lot to do these days, so you can go home by yourself after school."

After saying this, Fang Zheng drove away, leaving Sayu alone standing at the school gate with her schoolbag on her back.

Haha...what a hassle.

To be honest, after such a long period of leisurely life, Sayu no longer wanted to go back to school. Her reaction now was like she had a pleasant summer vacation, and then reluctantly stepped into school after the summer vacation.

If I have to say, he is more like a melancholy office worker.

However, Sayu still sighed silently and then walked into the school gate.

"This is Ogiwara Sayu, who transferred here this semester. I hope we can get along well."

The teacher's introduction was nothing new, but Sayu didn't care. She just stood on the podium and lowered her head at the students who were looking at her curiously.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ogihara Sayu. I transferred here to study for family reasons. Thank you for your guidance."

"Then Ogiwara-san, you should sit...ah, sit next to Yasuoka-san."

The teacher also stretched out his hand and pointed to the seats at the back of the third row.

"Anraoka-san, please take care of Ogiwara-san."

“Ah, yes…”

Hearing the teacher's words, a girl with a bob haircut next to her hurriedly responded, and Sayu followed the teacher's instructions, walked to the seat and sat down, then nodded to the girl next to her.

"Hello, please give me your guidance. I am Ogiwara Sayu."

"My name is Anraoka Hanabi, and I hope you can give me your guidance, Ogiwara-san."

After a brief greeting, the teacher started the class, and Sayu focused her attention on the blackboard again. Although she was an excellent student before, she had skipped the entire second year of high school, so she had to start all over again. For Ogihara Sayu, this was also a very difficult thing.

But Sayu's situation is much better. Asuna, Kuroneko and the others followed Fang Zheng to save the world for a year, and when they came back and saw their summer homework, they simply forgot how to solve the questions... At that time, the girls were completely desperate and even had the urge to drop out of school. Fortunately, they managed to make up for it in the end.

From then on, they seldom dared to go out with Fang Zheng. It would have been fine if they had just skipped classes, but Fang Zheng's time manipulation was simply killing them.

According to Black Cat, when she saw the summer homework, all she could think about was the interstellar war. She even planned to use the Zerg ecology to deal with the animal observation homework...

As for the composition, I heard that Eriri wrote a report on how to fight the Turians at close range, but it was mistaken for a science fiction novel. When asked why she wrote that, she said that the composition was about her life during the summer vacation, but she had been following Fang Zheng to save the world at that time, so what else could she write about?

Are you discussing the thirteen methods of chopping up corpses?

Then I guess I will be called for educational counseling.

After class, the classmates naturally gathered around Sayu and began to greet her. They asked questions like "Why did you transfer here?" and "What subjects are you good at?", and Sayu answered their questions one by one. If it were the old Sayu, she would not be able to talk freely with these people, but now she can stay calm and respond one by one.

"By the way, what do you think of Mr. Zhong Jing?"

And at this moment, a classmate in the class asked Sayu this question.

"Teacher Zhong Jing? Is that the teacher from before?"

Hearing this question, Sayu was stunned for a moment.

"Yeah, that's right, he's handsome, and he's very personable, and he's a new teacher, so he seems pretty cute."

"Hmm... is that so?"

Hearing this, Sayu thought for a moment.

"I still prefer men who are more wild."

"Eh? Ogiwara-san, do you like bad guys?"

"No, they are just mean in words, but they are nothing. How should I put it... they are the kind of people who are very strong, who can always make you feel at ease, and who will force you to follow their steps, but they are not the type that makes you feel disgusted."

"Indeed, sometimes it's good for boys to be tough."

"But I don't like rude boys..."

Because of Sayu's words, the girls immediately changed the topic and began to talk about the type of men they liked. This also made Sayu somewhat relieved. To be honest, she really had no interest in the type of men who wore glasses and looked gentle. Especially because she had been to Kamurocho before, Sayu had seen many men like this teacher getting drunk or being beaten, robbed, crying and begging for mercy... To be honest, because of this, she didn't have any good feelings for this type of man... Eh?

At this moment, Sayu suddenly felt a pair of piercing eyes staring at her. She turned her head and saw the black-haired bob-head girl staring at her with dissatisfaction. After noticing Sayu's gaze, she snorted and turned her head away.

Wow...what did I do wrong again?

Seeing this scene, Sayu could only smile bitterly. She really didn't know what was going on.

Just like that, a day passed, and when school was over, Sayu was packing her schoolbag, only to see the girl sitting next to her stand up and walk in front of Sayu.

"Come on, I'll show you around the school."

"Ah, thank you... I remember you are... Yasuoka-san, right?"

"Um."

The girl nodded and walked out of the classroom, and Sayu packed her bag and followed her.

Although the girl's attitude was a bit cold, Sayu didn't care. After all, she knew that such a task assigned by the teacher was a burden for the students involved. The girl in front of her was also obviously not intending to get along well with her, but just wanted to finish her task as soon as possible as a routine.

But... the biggest reason was probably because I said something wrong before. I remember she was glaring at me very unhappily at that time.

"Um... Anraoka-san?"

Thinking of this, Sayu decided to ask for clarification.

"Excuse me, when you glared at me before...did I say something wrong?"

"No."

The girl lowered her head and just looked ahead silently. However, Sayu now was no longer the Sayu of the past, and she guessed the reason almost instantly.

"Ah, is it because of Mr. Zhong Jing?"

“Woo…”

Hearing this, the girl's expression changed slightly, and Sayu noticed it immediately.

"Sure enough, it's because of Mr. Zhong Jing. Do you like Mr. Zhong Jing? I'm sorry, it's not that I hate him, it's just that teacher is not my type..."

As a girl, Sayu understands this mentality very well. On the one hand, she would be jealous if the person she likes is liked by other people, but on the other hand, she would be very angry if the person she likes is not noticed by others.

If Mr. Fang Zheng knew about this, he would definitely complain, "Women are so troublesome."

"Um……"

After hearing Sayu's introduction, the girl's expression eased a little.

"I know, you said you like tough guys."

"That's different too. How should I put it? Sometimes he's naughty, but sometimes he's funny, and overall he's a reassuring person."

"Is that so..."

"That's right, so..."

As she spoke, Sayu extended her hand toward the girl.

"Can we be friends?"

“…”

Staring at Sayu's hand, the girl was silent for a moment, then reached out and held her hand.

"So, you made friends?"

Fang Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Sayu who was sitting opposite him, and the latter nodded.

"Well, how should I put it... She feels a bit like my old self. She doesn't seem to care much about other people, and doesn't want to be with other people. So I feel a sense of closeness to her, and that's why I'm thinking about becoming friends with her."

"That's good, but you have to be careful. There may be monsters even in school."

"I know, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on that girl."

"In short, be careful and notify me immediately if you encounter any problems. Although there haven't been many disappearances near your school, the situation is quite tense right now. You should also pay attention to see if there are any disappearances or rumors related to man-eating monsters in the school."

"Okay, Mr. Founder."
