Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Page 66

The future is promising, the future is promising!

Hayakawa waved his hand dismissively, brushing away the dust in front of him, then lowered his head and, as always, threw himself into the long journey of learning.

……

The next day, Hayakawa woke up on time, his eyes wide open, showing none of the drowsiness or sleepiness one would expect upon waking. Instead, he was bright and energetic.

It's another hopeful day, every day is a hopeful day.

Hayakawa the Great's life was always full of hope.

After tidying up briefly and having breakfast, Hayakawa took his portable vocabulary notebook and left the room, looking at it as he went. Suddenly, he received a message from Riju Ogata.

"Hayakawa, have you left?"

Hayakawa replied, "No, what's wrong?"

News of Rizu Ogata arrived quickly.

"Let's go together then, I'll be at the tram station soon."

Hayakawa was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the tram stop."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Ogata replied with a message, and then there was no further news. It seemed he was rushing over.

"This guy…"

Hayakawa was somewhat moved and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

He actually came all the way here to ask me for tutoring... When did Ogata become so outstanding?

Hayakawa felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her. Even Ogata was making such progress, so what reason did she have not to work even harder?

Good luck, Hayakawa.

With that thought in mind, Hayakawa walked toward the train station, facing the light.

……

After arriving at the tram station, Hayakawa waited for Ogata. After a while, he bought a few bags of bread and milk from the convenience store next door. He had eaten too perfunctorily for breakfast and planned to eat something else.

Not long after, Rizu Ogata, wearing the red school uniform of Ichinose Academy, rushed over: "I'm sorry, Hayakawa, I'm late."

"It's okay~"

When Hayakawa saw her sweetheart Ogata approaching, she immediately showed a gentle expression: "It's alright, I just arrived too."

"Uh…"

Rizu Ogata stopped in her tracks, looking bewildered.

"Are you alright coming so fast? Did you skip breakfast?"

Hayakawa's face shone with an angelic light as she handed him the uneaten bread in her hand: "If you're hungry, how about eating this first? We can buy something else when we get to school."

Rizu Ogata: "..."

Hayakawa seems a bit strange today.

The two waited under the radio for a while, and soon the tram to the school arrived. They boarded the tram, and as soon as they stood still, Hayakawa couldn't wait to start tutoring.

……

What kind of emotion does the author express in this sentence?

Hayakawa, holding a test paper, asked Ogata Rizu a question.

"Uh... this and that..."

After stammering for a while, Rizu Ogata finally mustered her courage and said, "It expresses my homesickness!!"

Hayakawa: "..."

I don't know if the author is homesick, but I must be very angry right now.

Did you study at home yesterday?

Hayakawa's face darkened, and his eyes turned sinister, with shadowy figures and faint images of evil spirits emerging within them.

As expected, this guy is hopeless. He's only been home for a day and he's already starting to slack off. If he stays home for a few more days, he probably won't even be able to read anymore.

"No, I studied!"

Rizu Ogata retorted loudly, but her momentum immediately weakened, and she said softly, "It's just that this question is a bit off-topic, and I can't think of it right now."

Hayakawa stared blankly at the question on the test paper, looking at it from all angles, but he really couldn't figure out where he went wrong with this most basic reading comprehension question.

“Ogata…”

Hayakawa put down the test paper and said coldly, "Are you satisfied with just passing the monthly exam? You haven't tried hard enough. Even without me watching you, do you think you can't study on your own?"

"I certainly can't compare to your level, but I've been studying too..."

Rizu Ogata lowered her head and said something softly, but her expression was very at ease.

She was more familiar with Hayakawa's cold expression; the Hayakawa from earlier was really abnormal and even gave her the creeps.

"Sigh... never mind, the tram's here, let's go to school first."

Hayakawa sighed helplessly once again, lamenting his unfortunate fate and bad luck. He felt that his unparalleled talent was useless against such a useless person.

Chapter 87 Lonely Hayakawa

I am such a magnificent being, yet I suffer repeated setbacks. Fate, why are you so unfair!

Hayakawa sighed, "Go back to your class, and don't forget to study hard."

"Oh, alright."

Upon hearing this, Rizu Ogata nodded hurriedly and ran away in a hurry.

Hayakawa watched her retreating figure, shook his head dejectedly, and walked in another direction. His usually straight back was now somewhat hunched, and he even looked a bit old.

As Hayakawa was about to sit down and start studying after entering Class B of the first year, a boy came over and started talking to him.

"Hayakawa, you're quite late today,"

The boy put his arm around Hayakawa's shoulder and tried to start a conversation, but after a few words he couldn't hold back and revealed his true colors: "What did Natsukawa-kun say to you after school on Friday?"

"nothing,"

Hayakawa had already anticipated this situation, so he wasn't surprised at all. He simply said calmly, "They were just asking about my studies."

"this…"

Upon hearing that it was about studying, the boy immediately lost interest and gave Hayakawa a strange look. He was skeptical, wondering what kind of girl would call a boy out to walk home with her in front of the whole class just to ask about studying.

The boy didn't believe it, but since Hayakawa had said so, he couldn't question her, so he awkwardly said a few words and left.

The boy left, but Hayakawa still couldn't settle down to study because someone else came to ask her questions. As a result, during the short half hour of morning self-study, Hayakawa was questioned seven or eight times by both boys and girls. Some were gossiping, while others were very serious. Some boys even had a very unpleasant attitude and tone. This frequency of nitpicking made Hayakawa deeply aware of Natsukawa Masuzu's popularity.

They're probably comparable to me.

Hayakawa thought seriously, but it didn't matter. No matter who came to question him, he would insist that the two of them had just gone out to chat about studying, and he didn't care if the person didn't believe him.

The enemy may use every trick in the book, but I remain steadfast and unmoved.

And so it went, and eventually no one asked any more questions. Hayakawa spent a relatively peaceful period of studying.

Hayakawa, who was enjoying her studies and reading with her head down, felt the lights in the classroom suddenly dim for a moment. Then, the noisy class suddenly became quiet, as if the volume of their voices was being restricted by some invisible force, making everyone become cautious.

Hayakawa thought it was the homeroom teacher coming in, but when she looked up, she saw Natsukawa Masaki, with silver hair and blue eyes, walking calmly into the classroom, walking across the aisle, and finding her seat.

Along the way, she didn't greet anyone, and no one greeted her. She seemed like an elf who didn't exist in this space, proud and unrestrained.

Hayakawa glanced at it twice and prepared to continue studying, but the next moment something unexpected happened.

Natsukawa Masaki quickly tidied up her things in her desk drawer, then, carrying her schoolbag in one hand and a book in the other, she sat down next to Hayakawa without any hesitation, stuffing her things into the desk and taking over the seat.

Hayakawa: "..."

"The weather is really nice today, Hayakawa-kun."

Natsukawa Masu gave Hayakawa a friendly and gentle smile and greeted her naturally: "I heard that it has already cooled down in places a little further north, but it is still very warm here. This year's climate is really unusual."

"Uh...yeah."

Hayakawa nodded expressionlessly and said, "So, why did you sit here? Where's Sakurai-kun who used to sit here?"

"You switched seats with me, huh?"

Natsukawa Masuzu tilted her head back and said in a haughty tone, "During the holidays, I casually mentioned to our Class B homeroom teacher that I wanted to switch seats, and then, quite by chance, Mr. Yamauchi assigned me to switch seats with Sakurai-kun here. Sakurai-kun agreed, it really was a coincidence, hehe~"

"A coincidence my foot!"

Hayakawa flew into a rage, looking at Natsukawa Masuzu in a dark tone and said, "Do you know how badly you've hurt me since this morning?"

"Um…"

Upon hearing this, Natsukawa Masuzu subtly glanced at the strange looks around her and said calmly, "I can probably guess a little bit."

"It's good that you can guess it."

Hayakawa glanced to the side and, seeing no one nearby, whispered, "I won't pretend to be your boyfriend. You should find another guy. Or, if that doesn't work, why don't you pay someone from outside the school to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

"I only want you."

Natsukawa Masuzu looked at Hayakawa pitifully and whispered, "I'm a very loyal girl."

"..."

Hayakawa looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Oh."

"Don't you need me to tutor you anymore?"

Natsukawa Masaki still wore a pitiful expression, her eyes darting around like a lost fawn in the jungle.

Hayakawa's face instantly turned extremely ugly: "I'm sorry, but I refuse."

"What about the video? Aren't you afraid I'll send it to Furuhashi and Ogata?"

Natsukawa Masaki subtly shifted her expression to one of icy indifference, mimicking the somber woman's tone as she said, "If those two people who trust you so much saw you in the video, I'm afraid no amount of explanation will have been effective, hmph~"

Cheng Mo looked at Yan Yitong, his lips twitching as he gave a cold smile: "Why should I explain?"

Natsukawa Masaki was stunned: "Because..."

The weather in October was already starting to cool down. The morning sunlight poured onto the green lawn of the campus, onto the deep blue walls of Ichinose and the white fountain outside the teaching building. There were light sounds everywhere, but at this moment, Natsukawa Masui's heart was completely silent.

Hayakawa's smile was so cold and chilling that it made her heart tremble slightly, and she felt that she had misunderstood something.

"You need to understand, it's them who need me, not the other way around."

Hayakawa turned her head to look at her book and said calmly, "Even if I explain, they might not understand. So why bother to cover it up? My relationship with them won't be affected by a few videos or me saying a few bad things about them behind their backs. They still need me and need me to teach them, at least for now. So I don't need to explain, and they will choose to trust me."

"That's how relationships between people are; they mostly depend on power and interests. When I try to explain to them, it's like I'm begging for their forgiveness, begging for their pity, and asking them to accept me as I am in the video."

"But I don't really need their pity; they need me."

Hayakawa thought for a moment and said, "The stronger party will control the discourse, so the weak need to beg for pity from others, while the strong do not need to explain themselves."

Natsukawa Masaki: "..."

Well, after Hayakawa said those words, Natsukawa Masaki didn't know if he thought the three of them had a good relationship that didn't need explanation, or if he simply looked down on those two.

Meanwhile, Hayakawa's side...

"I'm so handsome."

Hayakawa maintained a stern and composed demeanor on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed, believing that his words as a powerful figure must have shocked Natsukawa Masaki.

"Only the weak need the pity of others, while the strong do not need explanations."

Ah... are these the words of a man who stands at the top? Just by listening to his voice, you can tell he's incredibly powerful!

The Emperor's might swept across the heavens and the earth, so why doesn't Xia Chuan Zhenliang hurry up and bestow his beast upon the Emperor?

However, although there was a reason for him to deliberately show off, what Hayakawa said actually reflected his true feelings.

Everyone has their own meaning in life, and for Hayakawa, the meaning of life is victory. Only victory has meaning. He keeps striving by constantly defeating others, not for so-called interpersonal relationships.

Friends are something you only need when you need them. For example, Hayakawa sometimes needs friends on his way to victory, such as Kominami Aizami, whom he can even lower himself to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with.
