Chapter 49
What Zhou Zhu said about wanting to study medicine was true, and what he said about wanting to play professional tennis was also true.
But when these two things are added together, it seems a bit incredible that a medical student has to balance such a busy academic schedule while also training in tennis and traveling around the world to play in various professional tennis tournaments.
I always feel that... Zhou Zhu's goal is also very powerful...
The beloved girl was in his arms, looking at him with those wet, admiring eyes.
Senior Fuji's Adam's apple rolled secretly a few times.
"Nana, if you look at me like that again, I'm going to kiss you~"
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Then can I kiss Zhou Zhu?"
I've watched a lot of cuts from Kiss! recently, and I feel like my eyes and brain have learned everything, and now all I need is practice.
As long as you practice hard, I believe you will be able to do that one day!
Fuji Shusuke: “…”
This guy is thinking about something weird again.
but--
"No, because I'm still sick, so Nana can't kiss me today."
Hearing that, I immediately wilted like a wilted eggplant. However, I noticed what Senior Fuji said. He said that kissing was not allowed today.
I suddenly had an idea and asked, "How about leaving it until tomorrow?"
"...Not tomorrow either, Nana. You just recovered from your illness."
Now I finally understood. "I see. So, after Zhou Zhu recovers, I can kiss him as much as I want, right?"
I was daydreaming and didn't notice that Zhou Zhu's eyes were becoming darker.
He suddenly asked me, "Why does Nana want to kiss me so much?"
“Because I want to improve so badly.”
I answered without hesitation, but
"Zhou Zhu, why are you sighing?"
"...No, it's nothing. I just find Nana's answers so refreshing every time."
He spoke meaningfully.

Thanks to the loving ginger soup I prepared, Fuji-senpai's cold was completely healed in less than three days. But because he was busy training for the competition and I was busy studying for final exams, I never fulfilled my promise to "kiss Zhou Zhu as much as I want after he recovers."
On this day, the teacher found me.
The reason was that I had done very well in English in the previous few monthly exams, with my scores in the top ten. So the teacher asked me if I was willing to participate in English training, and then have the opportunity to represent the school in the regional high school English debate competition.
Perhaps noticing my hesitation, the teacher didn't force me. He simply handed me the registration form and said, "Koizumi, don't rush to answer me. Think about it carefully. Here's the registration form. If you want to participate, just fill it out and give it to me."
Instead of refusing directly, I expressed my gratitude to the teacher and took the registration form.
A regional high school English debate competition...?
Of course, I know this doesn't mean anything. Because the third-year students are under pressure to get into college, they won't participate in such high-intensity competitions. Therefore, there are vacancies, and we need to fill new positions in the first and second years. The English teachers in each grade will select suitable students, and then the school will provide unified training. Only those who pass the final assessment will be selected as official members of the debate team.
This registration form is your admission ticket.
"The teacher is very optimistic about Koizumi-san, so I hope you can give it careful consideration and don't waste your talent and ability. If it's Koizumi-san, I'm very confident that you can make the school team!"
The English teacher said so.
I was so flattered that I don't even remember how I left the office. I just felt like my feet were walking on cotton, without any sense of reality.
You have to be careful with every step you take, otherwise you will miss a step and fall into the abyss behind you.
This is the first time that a teacher has affirmed and believed in me like this.
But then I thought, she might say the same thing to every student who comes to get the registration form, so I better not get too carried away.
After returning to the classroom, I was still struggling with whether or not to attend the training.
While participating in training can certainly hone my abilities, the thought of devoting so much time and energy to it might disrupt my original study plan. Most importantly, investing so much time and energy might ultimately be in vain...
My deskmate Ai Li noticed my unusual behavior and also noticed the registration form in my hand.
"Eh? English debate competition training registration? Nana, were you selected by the teacher?"
I pulled her and asked her to be quiet. "Yes, but I haven't decided whether to participate or not."
She asked back in confusion, "Why not? This is a good thing... There are so many beautiful seniors on the debate team! Hehehe... If my English wasn't so bad, I would have pestered the English teacher to give me a chance, hehe!"
I:"......"
As expected of Airi, she knows the distribution map of all the beauties in the school...
"Those who can join the school team must be very outstanding people... I feel that I am still far from being good enough..."
After hearing what I said, Ai Li showed an incredible expression, and then this surprise turned into horror, as if I was saying something very scary.
"Of course it's terrifying. You actually said you're not qualified. Then I'm completely unqualified. Nana, do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?"
She spoke seriously,
"You're the recognized top scorer in our grade!"
The recognized...King of Rolls?
This is the first time I've heard this.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't tell me you don't even know the name 'King of Curls'... Okay, you really defeated me. Don't you usually surf the Internet?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone, skillfully opened the campus forum, found a post among her hundreds of favorites, and handed it to me.
"Yes, this is it! This post is the source of everything!"
I took it and took a look, and the title of the post caught my eye——
【Why is the beautiful first-year schoolgirl like this? 】
The pretty first-year junior, are you talking about me?
What's wrong with me?
I clicked in immediately.
[Original Poster (Anonymous): As the title says, wasn't the new class starting school a while ago? I noticed a very pretty first-year student... Don't worry about your complaints, but I'm really eager to get to know her, so I've been secretly observing her activities at school, hoping to please her... [jpg.]]
[1st floor: I was wondering why the original poster wanted to remain anonymous, but now I understand. You're such a pervert...]
[2nd floor: Oh my god, what a pervert! By the way, which pretty schoolgirl is this? I'm not trying to find out what she's thinking, I just want to warn her to be careful of perverts...]
[3rd Floor: I can hear the abacus upstairs clacking right up to me, it's crackling!]
....
[12th Floor: So, which junior school girl is this? Also, where have you been? So what happened to the junior school girl?]
[Original Poster (Anonymous): Sorry, something happened just now. I didn't expect so many people to be reading this. I was planning to go to bed, but I'll stay up late to update you all... For a while, I've been deliberately observing my junior schoolmate's daily whereabouts, and I've discovered that her life patterns are terrifying. Because I made some mistakes before and was punished by the teacher to do duty for a month, I came to school very early every day during that time. You could say I was the first student there... However, at 6:30, as I was walking past the playground, I saw this pretty junior schoolmate holding a notebook, mumbling to herself under the streetlight.
Then, at seven o'clock (the classroom was powered on), she returned to the classroom and pulled out a textbook to study! When I finished my duty and passed by her classroom again, she was still reading! Then, after the morning class ended, I noticed her going against the flow of people to the rooftop. I figured she was eating there, so I bought a loaf of bread and followed her there. There were several other students chatting and laughing, enjoying their lunch together, but she was sitting alone, memorizing formulas while she ate her bread!
...Then after school, she didn't seem to have to join any club activities (though I suspect she joined a more independent club), and she was alone in the classroom reviewing and reciting the text. When the OP's club activities were over, she was still reviewing, and didn't leave until the sun was almost down...
I was shocked. It’s not like I haven’t seen students who take the worst exam before, but hasn’t the first grade just started? Why are they starting to take the worst exam now?
If you don't understand, just ask. Is this the case for all first graders now? 】
[14th Floor: The beautiful first-year girl who memorizes under the streetlights on the playground, memorizes under the rooftop, and leaves every day at sunset. Damn! I actually figured it out. She's really pretty and hot!]
[15th Floor: Tsk, I think I know who it is...]
[16th Floor: Although I haven't decoded it, this schedule really shows how self-disciplined I am... I'm still confused in third grade and I'm starting to tremble...]
[17th Floor: By the way, if it's that black-haired schoolgirl, I think I know who she is. I ran into her class during PE class a while ago. It was probably during free time. While everyone else was playing, she was reading a book under the shade of a tree... She really left a deep impression on me.]
[18th Floor: Good volume... a very self-disciplined life...]
.....
The more I read, the more my brows furrowed. Although the post didn't mention the name of the first-year girl, I immediately identified myself with her through the description of her schedule.
Especially since it mentioned black hair. After all, there are only a few students with black hair in the entire grade...
In the second half of the post, the poster only left a sentence: "If it's still like this for first graders, I'm a second grader who will have the entrance exam in a year, so I have to study hard and not fall behind." Then it disappeared.
Then, for some unknown reason, the subsequent comments turned into a large-scale event encouraging learning and self-discipline?
[118th Floor: She's so beautiful and so self-disciplined, is she really going to die? Wow, I feel like I'm only here to make up the numbers. Nothing in my life has made me risk my life like this...]
[119th Floor: I finished reading this post late at night and was deeply moved. I will definitely work hard next semester!]
[120th Floor: Those above, still waiting for next semester? You should start working hard tomorrow! [dog head jpg.][dog head jpg.]]
[121st Floor: I'm almost going crazy from memorizing words. After reading this post, I feel like I can persevere and memorize a few hundred more. I'm going to get into Tokyo University!]
[122nd floor: Make a wish for Todai! ]
...
[167th floor: I wish everyone who wishes to be admitted to Tokyo University will be admitted to Tokyo University. I only hope to be admitted to Waseda University...]
[168: +1. For Waseda University, from today on, I will study day and night, without sleep, and crush my competitors! I will crush Waseda University!]
[169th Floor: By the way, is this post off-topic... Why is it getting more and more exciting the more I read it late at night?! Oh my god, I'm going to put my phone down right now and do some math problems to get over my sleepiness...]
......
"Anyway, even though your real name isn't mentioned anywhere, the description of the top-scoring junior student in the article is pretty much decipherable to anyone who's had any contact with you. So, everyone privately calls you 'First-Year Top-Sceneter.'"
“I’m not that curly…”
I retorted.
She glanced at me and asked, "So what are you going to do later?"
"Look at the previous wrong questions or something?"
She had an expression that said, "As expected," and asked, "Look at what the other students in the class are doing now."
I looked around and saw that everyone was doing different things, but they all had one thing in common: they were doing everything except studying.
I fell into a brief, eerie silence.
"Damn it, that must be because the next period is PE, that's why everyone is so relaxed!"
Finally, I said stubbornly.
"So, Nana, don't underestimate yourself. You're actually really strong! So, don't be careless and go to that training. I have great confidence in you!"
I:"......"
Why is it that except for me, the whole world has inexplicable confidence in me?

When I left school with Senior Fuji, I told him everything about what happened today and the post. When he heard about the poster's behavior, he immediately frowned.
I was keenly aware of his mood changes.
"Zhou Zhu is minded about the behavior of the poster? It doesn't matter. I was also shocked when I saw this post. I was deliberately checking to see if anyone was paying attention to me all day, but in fact, there was nothing. And the poster later said that he had stopped this behavior..."
I rolled my eyes, stared at him and smiled.
"But I'm very happy..."
He looked at me puzzledly.
"So Zhou Zhu is so nervous about me... Well... I'll also tell Zhou Zhu a secret as a reward!"
As I said that, I hooked my finger and signaled him to bend down.
He felt a little strange, but he obeyed. The boy bent down, his figure instantly looming over me, casting a shadow. His handsome, cold face paused just three centimeters from me, his narrowed eyes gazing at me with a hint of suspicion.
Then the next second, the beautiful blue eyes suddenly opened.
I kissed her when there was no one around.
.....
It turns out that I have become stronger.
I am no longer the naive little girl who couldn't even breathe.
But after ending the kiss, I was still breathing slightly heavily.
On the other hand, Senior Fuji still looked calm and composed.
Oh no, I noticed the tips of his ears were red. It seems his inner self might not be as calm as his outer appearance...
I thought to myself.
"Anyway, I'm still struggling with whether or not to attend this training."
I brought the topic back to the origin of the matter.
"I always feel that for someone like me who has no talent and only knows how to work hard with brute force, this is a very difficult thing!"
"Nana, I think you're wrong about one thing."
He shook his head and looked at me seriously.
"Nana, you're not without talent!"
"Huh?"
"In my opinion, you have a strong ability to learn, and you have a strong desire to improve."
He touched his slightly red lips and said so with a smile.
"This is a very important and excellent talent!"
My face flushed instantly.
