Chapter 16: Visiting Class A

In class D of the 1st year…

'As far as this morning's class is concerned, I do not doubt that a lot of points will be deducted.'

Ying Ye Zhenshi observed the situation of his classmates.

Many individuals were playing or texting on their mobile phones, some tinkering with game consoles in class, and even others outright talking to each other, affecting the students listening to the teacher around them.

There was also the arrogant red-haired boy whom Ying Ye Shenshi wondered what he had been doing the previous night since he had just slumped at the table and slept all throughout the morning, not having properly taken part in a single class.

Although the teacher noticed it, he showed no sign of wanting to dissuade him at all.

Apparently, it was the personal freedom of the students to listen to the class or not, so the teacher did not bother them.

And all of this was within Ying Ye Zhenshi's expectations.

If students were strictly regulated, how would they calculate the deductions and what evaluation to give each class?

There had to be consequences for their bad behaviour and indulgence.

'Based on how things are going, after one month, most of our points should be gone.'

As classes drones on and the lunch break eventually came, Ying Ye Zhenshi confirmed the situation in his class, feeling that most of the students were like mud cement which could not support a building well in construction.

Sure enough, his observations were similar to the findings from his previous investigation.

The students of this class had huge issues and were indeed defective products.

Most of them found it difficult to learn, had no self-discipline and liked to get carried away.

This was not a disguise.

There were also some who were good at learning and were self-disciplined, but all of them have similar problems- they looked down on the others…

There were also students with personality defects like being introverted and not talking to other people.

'Or have they all somewhere somehow been involved in some nasty incidents when they were in middle school?'

Ying Ye Zhenshi thought of the social terrorist Hirata, and the determined but cute girl Kushida.

Those two individuals appeared to be able to study well, they were fairly serious in class, and there were no issues with their communication skills.

Since that was the case, there was most certainly a hidden defect.

He guessed that the duo had a similar 'big defect' as him.

Most of the students chose to leave the classroom and go to the cafeteria with their acquaintances to eat, while a small number of them had brought their own lunch boxes or sandwiches.

Noticing Kushida Kikyo's obvious intentions to approach him for conversation, Ying Ye Zhenshi quickly left the class.

"..."

Kushida Kikyo could only watch his disappearing figure, not knowing what to think.

'Is he actually shy? Or doesn't he feel like talking? Or does he simply not like girls?'

At this moment in time, Kushida Kikyo became a little sceptical about life.

But just like she had announced at the start of the year, she wanted to be friends with everyone, so the harder it was to capture a person, the more interested she became.

She went to have lunch with her friends, and then she came back to the classroom early, intending to work on kindling a friendship with Ying Ye Zhenshi, but she waited all afternoon, yet there was no sign of him.

That's right, Ying Ye Zhenshi hadn't gone back to the classroom after having eaten lunch, and had skipped all his afternoon classes.

And the place he went to in the afternoon had already been determined beforehand.

First Year, Class A!

Now that the situation of class D had been determined, and he was free to act as he wished, Ying Ye Zhenshi naturally would not let go of the chance of learning of the situations of the other classes.

The bell for class had already rang, but Class A's homeroom teacher Tomonari Mashima saw a weird scene as he entered his classroom.

A group of students in his class were surrounding a lone individual.

After he entered the room, most of the students looked toward him.

"Excuse me, you are not a student in our class, are you?"

"Teacher, there is a student from another class here, and he will not leave since he came to our classroom."

Seeing Tomonari Mashima walking over, the students in Class A reported the matter to him.

Mashima Tomoya also looked at the person who didn't belong to their class.

"Which class are you from? It's class time now, so go back quickly."

Mashima Tomonari didn't pay much attention to the matter and directly asked the student to leave.

"Teacher, hello. I'm Ying Ye Zhenshi from Class D, Year 1. Can I stay here? I promise I won't affect you."

Ying Ye Zhenshi introduced himself boldly and spoke in a friendly manner.

As for the eyes directed toward himself, he didn't care about them.

"Only students from Class A can stay in the classroom."

Mashima Tomonari just responded frankly.

The rejection in his statement was very clear.

"Ok, I see. Then I'll be at the door."

Directly ignoring Mashima-sensei's discoloured facial expression, he walked to the door and leaned against the window to watch the situation in the classroom…

Like a voyeur.

Several first-year Class A students by the window expressed their discomfort at the situation.

"Bastard, can you move farther away?"

"Teacher, this guy will affect our learning."

Mashima-sensei heard their complaints, but he did not do anything.

Instead, he looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi and wished he could get him to leave with his eyes.

But Ying Ye Zhenshi remained motionless as if he didn't notice the fact that he was unwelcome here.

"Teacher, let's continue with the class. It's rare to have such an interesting classmate visit us. Just let him watch."

In class A of the first year, a fair-skinned, cute-looking, weak girl with short, silver-white hair spoke softly.

Beside her table, one could spot a hand crutch, which may have been her walking aid.

"Then, let's get on with the class."

Mashima-sensei heard the words and did not continue to focus on Ying Ye Zhenshi.

In this way, a strange scene was created.

The students in class A of the first year were taking their class seriously in the classroom, and then, a student from another class was watching from the outside, enjoying the class too.

They had thought that the boy would leave in a short while, but it turned out that the entire lesson was dedicated towards their class.

He just kept watching them.

When the students in Class A were finally dismissed after the end of the lesson, they planned to make trouble with him.

"It's been a pleasure to meet you all. I'll be leaving first. I hope we can play again together some other time."

Ying Ye Zhenshi gave his farewells and straightforwardly left.

The group of students and teacher from the first year, Class A were left behind.

[T/N: Mashima-Sensei's first name is either Tomoya or Tomonari. I will try to stick to one, but Tomoya may creep in.]
