As it turned out, Yan Xi was overthinking.
Sakurajima Mai left early the next morning, busy with work and her studies.
Sakurajima Mai attended Minehara High School in Kanagawa Prefecture, which was only an hour away by the convenient transportation available nowadays.
Even so, it was impossible for her to stay at Yan Xi's house every day.
On the table were breakfast and a packed lunch prepared by Sakurajima Mai.
Yan Xi wasn't used to packing lunch and usually ate at the school cafeteria.
Looking at the lunchbox on the table, Yan Xi didn't even know when she bought it.
She really doesn't treat herself as an outsider!
Thinking he shouldn't let Sakurajima Mai's kindness go to waste, he put the lunchbox... in the refrigerator.
It was better to eat fresh food at the school cafeteria for lunch.
……
……
School life was a bit dull, with the same routine of classes, surrounded by people who looked at him with respect. Yan Xi still didn't like being at Shuchiin Academy.
After morning classes, Shirayuki Kaguya found Yan Xi.
"Yan Xi-kun, where's your homework?"
Newly enrolled Shirayuki Kaguya was in her 'Ice Kaguya' phase.
Simply put, growing up in the Shirayuki household, she used a cold facade to protect herself. This was the truth about Shirayuki Kaguya.
Unlike dissociative identity disorder in behavioral psychology, Shirayuki Kaguya was aware of her own condition and could even hold strategy meetings in her head.
Can people with dissociative identity disorder do that?
Well, Yan Xi didn't have dissociative identity disorder, so he didn't know.
"Homework?" Yan Xi stared blankly at Shirayuki Kaguya.
Oh right, high school students have homework.
Don't be fooled by those marketing videos. Japanese high school students aren't as carefree as they seem. They have plenty of homework.
If you aspire to a better future and want to get into a prestigious university, you have to start going to cram school in your second year of high school.
You still have to grind.
Yan Xi's face turned red with embarrassment. Was not doing homework such a shameful thing? Why didn't he know before?
"Yan Xi-sama hasn't done his homework? Please, use mine to turn in!"
A classmate who once looked down on Yan Xi came crawling over, offering his homework with both hands, like a believer encountering a god.
"No, Yan Xi-sama, please feel free to use mine!"
Hey, the guy upstairs, isn't that a bit off?
The surrounding voices grew louder, and Yan Xi grumbled internally. Could they be more discreet? If they keep gathering like this, the teacher will know. What's the point of turning in homework then!
"Spicy sauce in the cafeteria! Za Warudo!"
It's a Stand, Yan Xi used his Stand.
The World stopped time, for a full five seconds.
As expected, The World is the strongest Stand.
A measly homework assignment, it's not even worth a second of your time!
Yan Xi took a few textbooks and handed them to The World. The World, the name "White Platinum Printer" is no mere legend.
"ORA!"
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!"
The World went full throttle.
Copying homework this intensely, you're not going to make it!
"Time resumes flow!"
After the Za Warudo sound effect, time flowed again.
Yan Xi pressed his hands together, and the surrounding area instantly went silent. The drastic contrast was eerie.
"Actually, I did my homework, no need to get so excited."
Yan Xi took out his notebook, still warm from the friction.
What, friction generates heat and paper can burn?
You must be underestimating the precision A of my The World.
The onlookers were filled with regret that they couldn't use Yan Xi.
Yan Xi internally scoffed, they're sick!
Shirayuki Kaguya didn't change her expression as she took Yan Xi's homework. She was curious about him.
To escape being controlled by the Shirayuki family for the rest of her life, Shirayuki Kaguya had her own plans.
For example, she wanted to connect with classmates who had family connections to gain enough influence in high society.
The Shirayuki family spared no effort in nurturing Shirayuki Kaguya, giving her the best education from a young age.
However, her birth and gender were undeniable, meaning she was destined to be a marriage tool arranged by the family, unable to become the head of the family.
Shirayuki Kaguya's ruby-red eyes, shimmering like gems, observed Yan Xi from the corner of her eye.
Yan Xi... how did this man do it?
He effortlessly obtained what Shirayuki Kaguya craved – the adoration of everyone.
Class A, Year 1, a class full of the children of those who actually hold power in this country.
Having these people adore him, it wouldn't be a problem to shake up half of Japan in the future.
A few days ago, Yan Xi was still an object of scorn, but the situation has turned around in just a few days.
According to normal logic, Shirayuki Kaguya guessed that Yan Xi must have done something 'amazing' to be so adored by everyone.
She desperately wanted to know the answer, at any cost.
Taking advantage of the fact that class hadn't started yet, Shirayuki Kaguya sent a message to her servant.
……
"Ding~"
Next door class.
Sasaki Ai's phone, adorned with stickers in a spicy girl style, buzzed.
She had set Shirayuki Kaguya's messages to a special notification sound, so before picking up the phone, she already knew it was the troublesome master.
"Ah, I have to go to the bathroom!" Sasaki Ai said to her friends who were gathered together.
"It's almost time for class, will you have time? "
"Should I go with you?"
Sasaki Ai waved her hand and said in her spicy girl tone, "No, no, I'll be back soon!"
The relationship between Sasaki Ai and Shirayuki Kaguya was confidential at school, and servants were more effective in secret.
Shirayuki Kaguya at this stage wasn't yet in a state where she would be panicking and calling for someone for a little thing.
Sending a message at such a special time, just before class, must be something very important.
Sasaki Ai went to the bathroom and cautiously looked left and right before entering a stall.
After entering the stall, she locked the door, placed both hands on her hips... and then she slipped off her clothes.
She was a professional at putting on a show.
Then there was the sound of rushing water.
Well, there's no conflict between going to the bathroom and checking your master's message, after all.
Sasaki Ai opened her phone and saw Shirayuki Kaguya's message.
"You, investigate Yan Xi of Class A, Year 1."
The order was simple and straightforward, Sasaki Ai replied with a 'yes'.
After Shirayuki Kaguya enrolled, the identities of everyone in her class were preliminarily screened by the Shirayuki family.
Because they were all influential people, the work was quite easy.
The only exception was Yan Xi, but since he was a commoner, investigating him was easier than the others.
With the Shirayuki family's connections, in less than five minutes, even his family tree, which he himself didn't know about, was dug up.
