After the self-introductions, everyone had a general impression of their classmates.
In their minds, they started to categorize who could be their friends, which was probably the beginning of small cliques in the class.
Soon after.
A beautiful female teacher in a white coat walked in with a whirlwind of energy.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
Her stern tone silenced the noisy discussions.
The beautiful teacher, who had complete control of the class, confidently wrote her name on the blackboard.
"I'm Hiratsuka Shizuka, and I'll be your homeroom teacher. I'll also be your school life advisor, so basically you guys all report to me from now on."
"If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
"By the way, I teach Japanese, and no phones in my class, got it?"
The beautiful teacher exuded an aura of authority, clearly with a wealth of teaching experience.
The way her shirt and white coat puffed out, bulging slightly.
Made Lin Xi think she definitely wouldn't starve her kids.
"Alright, let's start roll call."
Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly finished the roll call, mainly because this part was for getting to know the students.
After roll call, she started the process of choosing class representatives.
In Japanese high schools.
There are usually two class representatives.
One boy representative, and one girl representative.
Hearing about the class representative selection, a girl in the corner named Sagami Nan was eager to participate.
"Alright, we need to choose a boy representative and a girl representative. Is anyone willing to step up and serve everyone?"
As soon as Hiratsuka Shizuka finished speaking, Sagami Nan was about to raise her hand.
The students immediately started chattering.
"Hiratsuka sensei, since they're class representatives, they should definitely lead in studying, I think it's better to have the students with good grades as representatives."
The speaker was Hōbu Shō, and his words almost directly pointed to Yezhan Shunren and Shiina Mahiru.
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Shiina-san is so accomplished, she's perfect for the position!"
"Yezhan Shunren-kun isn't bad either, he's third in the grade!"
Those who knew them immediately supported Yezhan Shunren.
In the corner, Sagami Nan awkwardly lowered her hand, feeling like she wanted to cry.
Does it mean you can't be a class representative if you don't get good grades?
However, the boys who suggested Yezhan Shunren as class representative were immediately met with a glare from Miura Yumiko.
If you guys say that, what about her, Miura Yumiko, if Yezhan and Shiina Mahiru develop feelings for each other because of the class representative position?
Yezhan Shunren quickly raised his hand.
"Hiratsuka sensei, I'm going to join the school's soccer team, I have practice, I don't have time to be a class representative."
This reason was good.
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded slightly in approval, then turned to Shiina Mahiru.
"Um, Shiina-san, everyone recommends you for the girl representative position, what do you think?"
Shiina Mahiru stood up, bowed to everyone, and showed a flawless, sweet smile.
"Since everyone has such high hopes for me, I'm happy to accept. I had experience as a class representative in junior high, everyone, as your representative, please give me your guidance!"
"Great, that's settled! The girl representative is Shiina-san!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately made the decision.
"Then, the boy representative..."
Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to ask, Shiina Mahiru suddenly pointed at Lin Xi and said:
"I recommend Lin Xi-kun for the boy representative position. He seems to be second in the grade, I think he can also lead everyone to improve their academic performance."
Lin Xi was completely dumbfounded.
No way?
Me as class representative?
Shiina-san, you really know how to give me trouble.
Hearing Shiina Mahiru's words, everyone looked at Lin Xi in surprise.
He's actually the second-best student in the grade?
Hearing Lin Xi say he likes light novels and manga, they thought he was just a handsome otaku.
Turns out he's actually a top student?
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Lin Xi, her eyes lit up.
"Lin Xi-kun, what do you think?"
The moment she finished speaking, Lin Xi could feel the envious and resentful gazes of the boys, after all, it was Shiina Mahiru who recommended him for the class representative position.
Didn't this mean Shiina-san had high expectations for Lin Xi?
Lin Xi glanced at Shiina Mahiru and found her looking at him with an expectant gaze.
Helplessly, he could only nod.
"Okay, since Shiina-san thinks so highly of me, I'll try to serve as the boy class representative."
"Of course, if anyone can do better than me, I'm happy to step down from the position."
"Everyone, please give me your guidance in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was still Yezhan Shunren who took the lead in applauding.
This nice guy really gave him face.
"Great, the boy and girl representatives are Shiina-san and Lin Xi-kun, you two come to my office after class, I have some things to tell you."
"Yes."
"Okay."
After class.
Led by Miura Yumiko, the girls surrounded Shiina Mahiru.
"Shiina-san, you seem so outstanding."
This sentence revealed her dissatisfaction with being overshadowed, but Shiina Mahiru just smiled sheepishly and shook her head.
"Not really, Miura-san, I'm just an ordinary high school student like everyone else, I hope we can all get along well in the future."
These words made Miura Yumiko's eyes light up.
"Okay, please take care of me in the future."
Although she wanted to pick a fight, Shiina Mahiru showed her goodwill, and Miura-san immediately fell for it.
This was probably because Miura Yumiko wasn't a bad person to begin with, and Shiina Mahiru's friendliness was off the charts, creating this harmonious and friendly scene.
Lin Xi's side was quiet.
Hikki Hachiban quietly approached, "I didn't expect you to be second in the grade, looking at your self-introduction, I thought you were a nerdy otaku."
Lin Xi rolled his eyes.
"You're a nerdy otaku too, you said the same things in your self-introduction."
Hikki Hachiban smiled sheepishly.
He was too nervous back then, so he just randomly said a few hobbies like Lin Xi.
High schoolers, how many of them don't like light novels and manga?
It's just that in high school, some people find it childish, so they deliberately hide their hobbies to fit in with the group.
Those who still say they like light novels become known as otaku.
"Hi, Lin Xi-kun, I'm Yezhan Shunren. Thanks to you being the boy representative, otherwise I would have been in a tough spot."
Yezhan Shunren came over and expressed his friendliness to him.
Lin Xi smiled and waved his hand.
"It's okay, I wanted to try being a class representative too, get some experience."
Yezhan Shunren's initiative to strike up a conversation immediately made the atmosphere friendly.
The other boys who were unhappy with Lin Xi also toned down their resentment.
The day's classes quickly ended.
Club activity time.
Lin Xi and Shiina Mahiru went to the office together.
Along the way, Lin Xi didn't initiate any conversations.
If he tried to curry favor, he would be treated as an NPC with feelings for her by the angel, so not talking to her was the right approach.
Once in the office, Hiratsuka Shizuka asked them to arrange the student duty roster.
Then, she explained in detail what the class representatives needed to do, and let them leave.
On the way out, Shiina Mahiru finally couldn't help but ask.
"Um, Lin-kun, do you hate me?"
