Although Kanto Prefecture itself includes several cities; such as Ibaraki, Saitama, Tochigi, Tokyo and others, Katagiri High School is still one of the most sought-after schools.

That's not because Katagiri has a large building, but the scope to enter a top university is also possible if you graduate from this school. Of course, it will be more favorable for people who have above-average grades and a certain talent in a field of expertise.

However, unlike other days, this time on the road to school, the students could only be stunned as they looked at the couples walking to school together.

One of them was a beautiful girl, who was dubbed as an 'Angel' by the other students because of her kindness and helpful nature.

While the other..., they barely recognized his, they had never even seen his in this school before.

Just that he could walk with an 'Angel' alone made many pairs of eyes turn towards his.

If he was a person with an average appearance, they would definitely scoff at him, but that student's appearance was fairly handsome.

He had pale white skin, with slightly long black hair tied into a small ponytail, and a few strands left hanging on his forehead.

While he might have removed his piercings, but they could clearly see 4 piercing holes in both ears.

"Who is he? Do you know his?"

"He looks like a bad boy."

"He quite handsome, you know."

"Is he a transfer student?"

"But he's together with 'Angel'."

"Ah! Are the two of them dating?!"

"Heh, I don't think so, do you?"

Soft whispers could be heard along the way. However, the two people ignored them completely.

And well, as you can guess, those two figures were Izumi and Mahiru.

While Mahiru was used to people whispering as she walked, Izumi also experienced it quite often when he wore his casual appearance outside of school.

"Looks like you're quite popular aren't you, Shiina-san?" Izumi glanced at Mahiru who was walking next to his.

Not that she was unaware of all the stares they were getting, or rather, the people around them were staring at the two of them openly.

In fact, all those whispers ....

Hey! Could you guys be quieter when talking about other people behind your back?

She could even hear all their whispers clearly!

"I don't want to hear that from you."

Mahiru sighed. It was true, many were staring at the two of them at the moment, but Mahiru was pretty sure most of the girls' gazes were directed at Izumi who was walking beside her.

After all, although Mahiru was not attracted to Izumi, but she had to admit that Izumi was quite handsome, and his wild appearance also increased his attractiveness.

Even so, Mahiru acted normally and showed no particular signs of interest in Izumi. And this was also because she didn't judge people by their outward appearance.

What she considered to be 'beautiful' came from within. So, as long as she did not know Izumi well, Mahiru could not describe Izumi as 'beautiful' (handsome).

"Well, I see you seem to have gotten used to this. My condolences."

Izumi closed his eyes with a melancholy expression. Of course, if it was his in Mahiru's position, Izumi certainly wouldn't be able to put up with all the attention he was getting.

Moreover, from what Izumi had seen, Mahiru was a role model who treated everyone equally. From the views of others, it was clear that Mahiru was well-liked, which was probably related to her kind and helpful nature.

Izumi honestly didn't like being like Mahiru. To his, kindness didn't need recognition.

If you wanted to do good, then you had to make sure no one knew about your kindness.

(A/N: This is an ideology that I've believed in for a long time, and I wanted to add it here so that people can do good without any reward or recognition from others.)

Meanwhile, Mahiru stared at Izumi in silence. I don't know why, but she also agreed with Izumi's words.

All this attention made her feel tired, but she still had to do this no matter if she was tired or not.

So, knowing that there was someone who understood about this somehow made Mahir want to lean on that person.

It's just that..., she wouldn't.

After all, Mahiru had never leaned on anyone else all this time. She had always fought alone without relying on others to support her from behind.

So, for her to be able to get close to that Izumi, she didn't think it would be possible ....

Class 1-1.

This was Izumi's class. He didn't interact much while in class and just sat in the corner of the classroom and secluded herself by reading books and ignoring the outside world.

Not many people knew his in class because of that, and some who knew his only because they were in charge of the class and had to memorize all the names of the students in the class.

Once they arrived, the students would usually gather with their groups and talk to each other about random things they found interesting.

And in just an instant, the middle of the class is instantly split into several groups chatting with each other.

They are each a group that enjoys different hobbies and interests, so they will usually only hang out with their group with little interaction with others outside of their group.

Take the Gyaru group, where the girls have flashy outfits such as thinner uniforms with the top two buttons undone, revealing their cleavage.

Their hair is dyed auburn, their makeup is quite striking and most of them deliberately shorten their skirts and make their thighs more visible.

While on the other hand, there is the Otaku group; which is a group that loves ACGN culture. Even so, their group is quite ostracized and people in this group honestly don't really care about people in their group.

They only formed the group because they were equally ostracized by the class, and these outcasts didn't really care about other people's opinions.

Even so, there are times when they have to form groups in some subjects, so having this group helps a bit with that.

While there were some other groups in the class, for example, the Ikemen group, which contained popular and handsome students.

Even so, the real Izumi didn't belong to any groups in class, he was a loner who didn't care about others around his.

But, would the current Izumi also do the same?

It depended on who the question was directed at.

If it was girls, then Izumi would be nice to them and happily interact with them.

But, if it was a male with an annoying nature. Izumi would just ignore them outright.

He already had plenty of problems in his life, and adding another was not a good decision.

"Hey, look who he is ...."

"Very handsome ...."

"I've never seen him before ...."

"Is he in the wrong class?"

"Transfer student?"

The whispers of the people in class 1-1 were unavoidable. They had seen the figure of a student they had never seen before.

Moreover, that student came to their class and sat on one of the back benches beside the window.

If he was from their class, with his face, they would have recognized him easily. But, they simply didn't remember there being a student as handsome as him in their class ....

All except one person.

"You changed your appearance?"

The girl sitting next to Izumi, asked while frowning.

Izumi stared at the girl, from memory, the girl honestly didn't interact much with his at any given time.

Moreover, the girl often mumbled in a language he didn't understand, and for some reason from her mumbling, Izumi felt uncomfortable.

"Um, is there a problem?" Izumi asked in confusion.

"Nothing!" The girl snorted as she turned her face in the other direction, while muttering, "[But it'll make you even more attractive ....]"

"Um..., did you say something, Kujou-san?"

Izumi felt that the girl had said something, so he asked while looking at the girl in confusion.

"Nothing!"

Different from the reaction she expected. The girl snorted at Izumi. But, on closer inspection, Izumi would realize that the girl's cheeks were slightly flushed.

Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou.

She was a girl who had Russian-Japanese blood, and was Izumi's first-year classmate.

Alisa, she actually didn't interact much with Izumi. The two had only engaged in conversation a few times before. But, for some reason today Izumi felt that Alisa was being a bit proactive?

Izumi didn't know the reason. Was it because of his current appearance?

Just the same, Izumi had no intention of digging deeper, he took his cell phone out of his pocket and saw if there were any other messages from the Group Chat.

But, it seemed like he was expecting too much. Since they said they were going to school, the Group Chat was quiet for some time.

It seemed like Ryuu and Shuuka who weren't at school were also doing their work.

Putting his cell phone back, Izumi intended to pass the time by reading a book. But, he didn't expect that Alisa would engage his in conversation out of the blue.

"Hey ...." Alisa's voice was very low, which made only Izumi, who was sitting next to her, hear her voice.

"Hm? You called me, Kujou-san?" Izumi looked at Alisa in confusion.

All this time, Alisa had never taken the initiative to talk to his, and today she was somehow acting differently from her usual self.

"You..., why did you call me that?"

Alisa narrowed her eyes as she greeted Izumi.

For some reason, this girl suddenly looked annoyed at his, and Izumi didn't know what she was annoyed about.

Call ....

Nickname...?

Didn't many people call her 'Kujou-san'?

Izumi called her that too because many people called Alisa that.

But, for some reason today Alisa looked annoyed when he called her that.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Izumi was confused. Had he done something wrong?

"[Sucks!]" Alisa muttered once again, this time she had an annoyed look on her face, "[You should call me Alya!]"

"Um..., can you speak in Japanese? I can't understand what you're saying...."

Izumi fell silent. This girl somehow liked saying things in Russian!

Hey! I never learned Russian here! Can you say something in a language I understand?!

Even so, hearing Izumi's complaint, Alisa instead of saying something in Japanese, just said in Russian once more.

"[So cute]"

The corners of Alisa's lips curled up as she looked at Izumi.

"[Look at that confused look on his face. He really looks cute]"

Okay, now Alisa was really teasing Izumi.

Considering Izumi didn't speak Russian, Alisa was saying more and more things in Russian. She didn't feel embarrassed to say anything embarrassing. Why? Because no one would understand what she was saying if she said it in Russian.

That was why Alisa was so confident right now.

Staring at Izumi who was having trouble understanding what she was saying, and his stiff facial expression with his twitching lips..., Alisa felt like she could smile all the time when she looked at his face!
