Chapter 31: Yosuke Hirata's Plan

"Ying Ye-kun, are you alright?"

Listening to Hirata Yosuke speaking to him from the side, Ying Ye turned his head to face him.

"Why wouldn't I be? Nothing happened."

His smile had dropped, and he gave Hirata a very succinct response.

He didn't care about what the boy found out.

Even if the school's mechanics were exposed early, he had other methods to fall back on, so he didn't worry.

He didn't say anything more, and took off his clothes, revealing his dense muscles, which had the traces of having exercised for a long time, and which were usually covered by the school uniform.

He put on swimming trunks and a swimsuit on top, which had been prepared by him a while back.

Even so, one could still see the tight muscle definition beneath the apparel.

Then, he left for the pool.

"Ying Ye Zhenshi… What the hell have you been through?"

Hirata Yosuke watched Ying Ye Zhenshi's disappearing back.

He had a bit of a headache while doing so, as he had seen the boy's figure as he was getting undressed

Not only did he spot the muscle definition on his body, but he noticed how they had become denser from having exercised over time.

Ying Ye looked even more fit than himself.

Moreover, there were many scars that could be seen on his body, and some even looked like knife wounds.

This was not the body of an average high school student.

Although he had quickly put on his swimsuit, Yosuke Hirata had seen all this clearly.

If he hadn't witnessed the prior altercation, he may have thought that the boy had been from a poor background growing up, which may have resulted in him being bullied in middle school.

But with the previous altercation having taken place, he was more inclined to think about Ying Ye Zhenshi's wounds along a different line of thought.

But there would obviously be no answer to the many questions in his head, as his figure eventually disappeared into the pool area.

It was then that Hirata Yosuke made up his mind.

"No matter how you lived your life before, I will not let you destroy the harmony of the class."

At this time, the priority to watch Ying Ye Zhenshi had risen by several levels in Hirata Yosuke's heart.

A classmate who he had once viewed as weak and that needed to be cared for, had now become a ferocious animal that could bully others as he wished in his mind.

Though, he could tell that Ike Kanji and the others had been the ones to clash with Ying Ye Zhenshi earlier.

All of this would need to be prevented.

After quickly changing into his swimming trunks, he headed outside.

The indoor swimming pool was a huge swimming pool of about 50 meters.

The water looked clean and clear.

The environment was great, with some people having been affected by the scene.

As soon as he came out, Ying Ye Zhenshi heard the boys screaming altogether.

Sounds of excitement, and of pity being the most common amongst the shouting.

It appeared as though the humiliation from earlier had been long forgotten.

Even Ike was very excited now, as he looked at Kushida Kikyo's great body from time to time, and then looked in some other direction.

Following his line of sight, he spotted the auditorium above.

There were students sitting there, still wearing school uniforms, obviously didn't plan to take part in the swimming class this time, which had Ying Ye Zhenshi wondering if he should have given up on taking part in this class too.

But if he thought about it carefully, there was no good excuse he could use to get away with skipping class.

After all, girls were born with the advantage of being able to take leave whenever they wanted, especially when their period was here, and the male teacher couldn't even say anything more.

He didn't continue on that line of thought though, since he had already changed his clothes, so even if he wanted to skip, he could only do so the next time.

If he had known he could do so earlier, he would have let himself get beaten up, and then have taken the opportunity to ask for leave.

He could have even claimed compassion for medical expenses and the like.

That way he would make Ike into a debt slave there and then.

Anyway, the boys were paying attention to who was sitting up above.

Sadly for them, one of the girls sat there was the first place contender.

Hasebe Haruka was sitting there, stroking her pale blue hair.

She hadn't intended to join the swimming class at all.

When she heard the boys' strange muttering, her eyes became full of disgust and hatred, like that of a girl who had found out someone was peeping at her panties.

Naturally, anyone in her shoes would feel disgusted at the thought of dealing with perverts.

Ying Ye imagined that some of the boys in the class were eager to be stepped on by Haruka Hasebe in their odd fantasies.

And these circumstances had made Haruka Hasebe give up on taking swimming lessons.

She was very sensitive to boys' gazes.

Additionally, the strange exchanges between the boys in their earlier classes that day had her give up the idea of ever swimming.

She would not take anymore swimming lessons.

This, naturally, had the boys who had been waiting for a long time to view her assets, feel pity.

'Why didn't Haruka Hasebe participate?'

'Why is it like this?'

'What a pity! I've been looking forward to seeing her in swimwear for a long time.'

'Is she on her period? '

'Damn, the dataset can't be perfected.'

'How should we work around this?'

'Kushida-san's boobs are so big!'

'Damn it, I really want to get with Kushida-chan!'

'Are you serious about chasing Kushida?'

'Isn't it only natural? And honestly, she's the one for me.'

Walking past the boys, Ying Ye Zhenshi could hear their confused and downcast chattering.

Haruki Yamauchi, Kanji Ike and the others seemed to have forgotten the altercation in the dressing room before, and their eyes were all on Kushida Kikyo.

Of course, Haruki Yamauchi considered himself as more charitable than the others, as he was interested in the gloomy Sakura too, in all of his magnanimity.

Ying Ye wondered if Yamauchi thought about how to win over two girls at the same time and become an alpha male.

Seeing the hostile expressions of the boys directed at him as he walked past though, Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't bother with them, opting to go with a provocative smile, and then left quickly.

This was obviously an even more infuriating response.

"Asshole! This guy..."

"Can we beat him up?"

"We have to take him somewhere quiet, and we can't let him get away with this!"

When Ike saw that smile, he became immediately upset.

He spoke towards Haruki Yamauchi, Takeru Sudou, and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.

These three or four were naturally quite close to each other and could share such private words without snaking on each other.

The others who had heard Ike saying so however decided it best to not intervene.

They were still worrying about their data set and bets.

After all, so many female students had asked to take leave, which was beyond their expectations.

The betting would not be able to go through in this way.
