What you see is nothing but a facade

After the entrance speech, it was time for homeroom. 

Not only Mizuto but everyone needed to return to their class. 

Still, unlike the cliche protagonist, who usually sat on the seat in the second of the last row, right near the window, he sat on the first row and right near the window. 

Frankly, the location to sit didn't matter to him as he was okay with sitting anywhere as long as he didn't sit on the ground.

Yet, if there was trouble, it was just that he couldn't sit and enjoy his high school life quietly. However, it definitely had nothing to do with the girls, who surrounded him and talked with him excitedly. 

"Irido-kun, which middle school did you come from?" 

"You are amazing to talk in front of everyone before! Didn't you feel nervous?" 

"What's your hobby?" 

"You're so tall! What's your height?" 

"Did you do a sport, Irido-kun?"

He knew that something like this would happen, but he wasn't surprised. 

The reason why he became popular was simple. 

Handsome. 

He became popular because he was handsome. The original Mizuto was handsome, but due to his gloomy personality and complicated way of life, he didn't take care of his appearance that much. 

As long as he wore clothes, it was okay, and this was how the original Mizuto was. 

However, as he became Mizuto, many things changed, including how he took care of himself from clothing, study, body, and many others. Moreover, he could also tell that his appearance also became better by his transmigration. 

Was it like his brain that became the combination of the two?

His appearance also became better due to the combination of his previous life and the original Mizuto. He didn't have evidence, but as the system existed, this reason shouldn't be unthinkable, right? 

Moreover, a handsome guy was rare since, unlike girls who could use make-up to fix their flaws and become beautiful, there weren't many guys who could use make-up after all. 

He knew that some might not accept this cruel fact, but there were many testaments, including works like a light novel, manga, or anime, that appearance mattered. 

In the light novel, the appearance of the heroines are all beautiful. Even if they are a bitch, or have been used by many people, as long as they are beautiful, the cliche protagonist of the light novel will accept them.

What about the protagonist of a harem romance comedy? Their appearance was average, right?

Yes, their appearance was average, so they weren't ugly. Moreover, if they dress up, their appearance would be further enhanced, showing how realistic the world is. 

Even if one said that don't judge a book by its cover, everyone will read a book when they see the cover is attractive. 

So, unless one takes an interest in you (due to your appearance), they won't try to learn your inner beauty. 

Lastly, even if guys try to appear like saints and say what they care about is women's personality, they care more about women's beauty. 

He wasn't a hypocrite, and he wanted to live well, so he took care of his appearance and body well. Moreover, he was also the ranked one, directly eclipsing most of the new students. He also had a lot of experience talking with girls and had fun talking with those cuties. 

With all of those combinations, wasn't it normal for him to be crowded by girls?

At that moment, he was like Saturn, orbited by many natural satellites. Even if he didn't do anything, they would be attracted by his gravity and move closer, closer until—

*Bang!*

However, while he didn't mind, the one who sat behind him did. 

Yume had been kicking Mizuto's seat quietly as if telling him to ignore those girls, but he didn't do it and probably didn't notice, so she kicked his seat harder, yet he still ignored her, which made her grind her teeth in jealousy. 

'This guy...' 

Still, it was meaningless to kick his seat as her feet were hurt, and she could tell that he didn't have much interest in those girls, especially when she could see that he didn't smile. Moreover, it would be too rude to reject them straight away, right?

They had just become classmates, and if he rejected them rudely, sending them away, wouldn't he become the enemy of the girls?

Still, she couldn't accept it and wanted to say something, but she saw his hand from the side of her table, a blind spot that most couldn't see. 

She pouted and pinched his palm, causing his lips to tremble under that calm facade, which made her smile. 

Still, even if he didn't smile, his eyes were warm, causing those girls to be unable to look away from him. It was like when one was trapped in the desert, and they were thirsty, so when they saw an oasis, they ran desperately when the truth, it was nothing but a mirage. They didn't realize what awaited them was nothing but despair since his heart was on her. 

Yume wished for them to wake up from their dream and quickly cut their loss, but when she thought about her mother's happiness... 

"Hahaha, he is really popular." 

Suddenly, Yume heard a voice from the side and saw a short girl standing on her side. The girl was relatively short and should be 10 cm shorter than her height. Her orange hair was tied in a ponytail with a black bow tie. 

Still, there was one habit that Yume had developed over the years, and it was to observe a stranger's frame when they met for the first time, so she looked at the girl's chest and saw that it was almost non-existent, flat, like an asphalt street. 

"Hey, my name is Minami Akatsuki. Nice to meet you." 

Yet, Yume had to say this girl was cute, with a bright smile that would make anyone have a good impression on her instantly. 

"Ah, yes, my name is Irido Yume. Nice to meet you, Minami-san." 

"Nice to meet you, Irido-san." Akatsumi smiled softly, but then she realized something. "Eh? Irido? Your name is quite similar to Irido Mizuto-kun." Subconsciously, her eyes glanced in Mizuto's direction.

"I..." Yume felt helpless, and she could see that due to her conversation with Akatsuki, the girls who talked with Mizuto also looked in her direction. However, she didn't want to say they were step-siblings since it would be difficult for them to announce the change in their future relationship. 

Hopefully, she hoped for Mizuto to say something, clearing their relationship, but he didn't say anything and seemed to wait for her answer. 

Are you leaving everything to me?!

Yume was under pressure, wondering how to answer this question.

Fortunately—

"Be quiet." 

Suddenly, a strict female voice was heard by everyone, and they all subconsciously stared at the source of this voice before they were hit by an incredible impact. Mount Fuji is the tallest mountain in this country, but it was impossible to see it from Kyoto. However, they saw it right from their seats. 

"Wo-Wow..." 

While the girls fell in silence, the boys were roaring like monkeys in heat. 

After all, they didn't expect that their homeroom teacher's breasts would be so enormous! 

Even Yume forgot her anger momentarily, yet Mizuto felt conflicted when he saw his homeroom teacher. 

"You're in high school now. You shouldn't be making noise in class."

The strict and anger-like tone directly caused everyone to shut up, feeling tense by her aura. 

"I am unimpressed." 

Then, the female teacher stared at the female students, who made their skirts shorter than normal, with a frown and said in a harsh manner, "What's wrong with those skirts? Hurry up and fix them." 

"Ye-Yes!" 

Those female students quickly fixed their skirts, and everyone also hurriedly sat in their seats. 

When everyone was ready, the female teacher wrote her name as she introduced herself. "I will be in charge of class 1-1. My name is Ootake Nami." 

Her curled brown hair was tied into a low bun, and she was dressed in a professional outfit. 

"First, I will call the roll." 

She opened the book and then called the first name of the attendant. "Mizuto Irido." 

"Here." 

As she nodded, he also showed a good student-like attitude. Even though it wasn't their first meeting, they didn't show much of a reaction, and they acted like they didn't know each other. 

Yume also felt relief when she saw that Mizuto didn't seem to have an interest in their bombastic homeroom teacher. He seemed to ignore the teacher and just glanced at the students, whose names were called one by one. 

"Yume Irido." 

"Here!" 

Yume raised her hand and then saw him smiling, which made her puff her cheeks, annoyed since he didn't help her when she was in trouble with how to explain their relationship. 

Then, with their names called, Nami continued with roll call, one by one, until—

"Reina Kousaka." 

"Here." 

Mizuto, who had been observing his classmates, was surprised since he hadn't expected to see someone cute in his class. Moreover, he knew that she wasn't one of those girls who had surrounded him before, so he couldn't help but take a second glance at Reina.

Reina is a little shorter than Yume. She has long, straight black hair, which is about lower-back length, with two long strands of hair laid on her shoulders and two smaller strands framing her face and purple eyes.

Still, unlike Yume, who tried to act like a perfect girl, this girl's expression was a little cold, which made it hard for anyone to approach her. 

*Bang!*

"....."

His lips twitched, feeling someone kicking his seat once again, causing him to turn and see Yume, who was looking away as if she had done nothing. 

Still, as it was the first day of school, there wasn't much to do, and their homeroom teacher, Nami, only called their names before introducing some things within the school and told them that the real lessons would start tomorrow. 

"Then, that's it. Go home quickly, and don't walk around outside the school, but if you wish, you can walk around the school to familiarize yourselves." 

Even though Nami was quite strict, she was a good teacher, telling them what they should and shouldn't do. 

"The homeroom is over now. You can go back." 

Everyone sighed in relief, but while some planned to go back, some still wanted to stay, getting to know each other, but—

"Irido Mizuto-kun." 

Nami stared at Mizuto and said, "Follow me. There is something that I need to discuss with you." 

Yume suddenly became worried and asked in a concern, "What did you do? Did you cause trouble or something?" After all, Nami seemed so angry for some reason. 

"What could I do? I just entered the school." Mizuto rolled his eyes, but then he thought of something and said, "Maybe she just wanted to remind me since I am the 1st rank and a scholarship student. You should go back first." 

"No, I will wait for you." Yume wanted to go home with him after all. 

"Okay." Mizuto smiled. 

Watching him leave with their homeroom teacher, Yume also smiled, and she hoped that he could go back as soon as possible, but before that, it seemed she needed to explain what their relationship was as she could see she was surrounded by many.
