I'll kill you after I finish this game!

After all, in this world where gods and demons lurk in the shadows, he felt no sense of security whatsoever, let alone any desire to enjoy life.

After his family was destroyed in a ghoul attack, he developed an insatiable thirst for power.

Only with immense power can he live peacefully in this world.

Furthermore, Rai Zhe also harbored a dream of bringing back all his deceased family members once he gained powerful strength.

If he wants to realize his dream, everything is inseparable from power.

He really has no intention of reliving his youth right now.

"Xiao Zhe, how much do you know about Yukino Yukinoshita?" Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly asked Rai Zhe as they walked.

Although somewhat puzzled as to why Hiratsuka Shizuka would ask Raiji for his opinion, Raiji truthfully shared his thoughts on Neko no Shita.

"The second young lady of the Yukinoshita family, one of the school's beauties, an excellent student, a friendless and withdrawn girl, although she is very pretty, she is not popular among girls..." Reiji said expressionlessly, describing Yukinoshita Yukino. Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression grew more and more silent as she listened: "And she is also a student that you, Shizuka-sensei, need to take special care of."

"You figured it out..." Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled wryly as she heard Raiji's last words.

Rai Zhe looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a somewhat subtle expression, making her look a little embarrassed and confused. Rai Zhe then said:

"She successfully created her club all by herself, and you were her advisor. Anyone with a brain in the school knows that you, Ms. Shizuka, are taking care of Yukinoshita."

"It's just that you're quite popular among the students, Ms. Jing, so everyone is giving you face and not pursuing the matter."

Yes, Yukino Yukinoshita's Service Club only had one person, which is ridiculously short of members, yet it was still successfully created. Moreover, Shizuka Hiratsuka was there to be the advisor for the other club. Anyone with a brain knows that Shizuka Hiratsuka is taking care of Yukino Yukinoshita.

Otherwise, the student council would have expelled Yukino Yukinoshita and her unconventional club long ago.

This was only because of Shizuka-sensei that Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't held accountable.

If it weren't for Shizuka Hiratsuka's connection, how could such an unusual club as the Service Club exist in the school?

"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now." Hiratsuka Shizuka's face was also a little embarrassed and blushing. She didn't expect that the students would give her so much face for taking care of Yukinoshita. Now that Raiji had brought it up, she felt quite embarrassed.

"I took care of that child because she, like you, had experienced bullying at the school, and her mindset was really worrying."

Hiratsuka Shizuka focused on Yukino Yukinoshita's personal issues, and she would tell Raiji because she wanted to put both Raiji and Yukino Yukinoshita, who both needed care, together.

Reiji was quite reassuring to her. After experiencing the tragic incident of the ghoul attack, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that he had changed a lot and matured too much, to the point of being heartbreaking.

Hiratsuka Shizuka feared that Raiichi was keeping something bottled up inside and not communicating with others, and that something terrible might happen to him.

That's why she needs to keep a close eye on Lei Zhe; she simply can't trust other teachers to take care of him.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka's careful explanation, Raiji, who already knew the answer, nodded in understanding of Hiratsuka Shizuka's actions.

"Yukinoshita's Service Club, while its ideals are rather presumptuous and naive, is well-intentioned. It's about teaching people how to fish rather than giving them fish, attempting to change others and then society through this naive approach..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's unrealistic personality could only have arisen if she had been well protected.

Does the strong extend a helping hand to the weak?

It's a good idea, and it's also very noble; it deserves our praise.

But the prerequisite is that you must be a strong person; otherwise, it's just pointless complaining.

Raiji acknowledged that Yukino Yukinoshita was an excellent person, but he dismissed the idea of ​​her being a "strong person."

Yukino Yukinoshita's fearlessness stems from ignorance.

She was a well-known celebrity on campus. Her family was a prominent and wealthy clan in the area. Her father was the president of a construction company and also served as a county councilor, and her mother was a member of the local guardianship association.

She has a very strong-willed mother and a very kind father. She has a good relationship with her father but cannot resist her mother's orders. She is very interested in her father's work, but has no decision-making power at home. The family's work is mostly in favor of her older sister. Due to the long-term estrangement between her parents and being overshadowed by her outstanding older sister, her life is not happy.

But all these things that make her unhappy are actually Yukino Yukinoshita's protective umbrella.

Yukino Yukinoshita dislikes her older sister, but her sister loves her dearly and doesn't care about being disliked by her sister in order to protect her younger sister.

Yukino's superior abilities are essential for her to have a voice in the family and thus be able to help her younger sister.

However, from Yukino's perspective, she doesn't understand her older sister's good intentions. She desperately wants to prove herself and longs for change, but she is confused about the future.

"Being overprotected and never experiencing the harsh realities of society has made her a typical case of adolescent delusions of grandeur. She wants to change the world that she's unhappy with, but even if she becomes the Prime Minister of Japan, it won't make a difference. She'll still be a humble craftsman, bowing and apologizing, and then adding some overused honorifics to her apology."

Razer scoffed at the idea that the Japanese wanted to change anything. Whether in the past or present, they would only apologize, but never admit their mistakes or take responsibility.

I'm sorry, I'll do it again next time!

If he could succeed in changing the world, Razer really wanted to change the world that had taken his family away, but he knew how cruel reality was.

Therefore, he didn't have much of an emotion towards Yukino Yukinoshita's self-satisfied behavior; he felt neither disdain nor admiration. After all, both he and Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to change things and were taking action through their own efforts.

"The spirit of craftsmanship... You really know how to speak the truth, I have no way to refute it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips twitched upon hearing this; Raiji's words were all reasonable and irrefutable.

Yukino Yukinoshita has indeed not experienced the harsh realities of society, and she tries to prove herself in her naive way.

Hiratsuka Shizuma felt that this child would suffer a lot if he entered society.

Without the protection of the Yukino family, the situation would probably be even worse.

"I'm planning to put the two of you together and be your mentors, since I'm quite worried about both of you."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhe opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"I trust your personality; your strong character always makes others suffer. But after what you went through, I'm really worried about you."

Lei Zhe felt a warmth in his heart. Of all the teachers he had ever had, none were more responsible than Hiratsuka Shizuka.

I felt this way when I watched anime in my past life, and now that I've experienced it firsthand, I understand why Hiratsuka Shizuka is so popular among students.

Nearly 80% of the students she mentored were very grateful to her.

Chapter 5 Sharing a Classroom with Yukino

"We've arrived." As Lei Zhe pondered his future, Hiratsuka Shizuka, the teacher who had led the way, stopped. Lei Zhe also stopped and looked at the unremarkable door in front of him, which didn't even have a nameplate.

These classrooms are usually used to store miscellaneous items, but now they have been transformed into classrooms for club activities.

wow~

As the door opened, Rai Zhe followed Hiratsuka Shizuka into the classroom.

The classroom was spacious and clean, with desks and chairs neatly arranged at the back. The curtains were also drawn, and a gentle breeze blew into the classroom through them.

A girl exuding an air of mystery, giving off an unapproachable feeling, and possessing an untouchable beauty sat gracefully in the chair.

Bathed in sunlight, the girl's long hair shimmered, her beautiful face, delicate features, fair and translucent skin, and perfectly sized pink lips.

Her long, black hair that reached past her shoulders and her ridiculously cute face were a perfect match.

Upon hearing the door open, Yukino Yukinoshita, the icy beauty, frowned and closed her book, saying, "Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei, you're always so careless. Don't you knock before coming in?"

"Sorry, just take my footsteps as knocking. We're familiar with each other anyway." Hiratsuka Shizuka had an attitude of "I apologize, I'll do it again next time," expecting others to accommodate her instead of changing her own habits.

Yes, the spirit of craftsmanship in Japan is truly deeply ingrained in people's hearts!

"Footsteps instead of knocking? Hmm, you used to kick doors, but I won't tolerate that." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned and complained to Shizuka Hiratsuka with some dissatisfaction.

After entering, Reiji glanced indifferently at Yukino Yukinoshita and then handed over the terms of the conversation to these two.

They adopted an attitude of "you guys chat, I'll just quietly watch you."

However, neither of them could ignore Raiji, who had a strong presence. Although Raiji didn't show off his muscles, his height of over 1.8 meters made him even taller than Hiratsuka Shizuka, which made him impossible to ignore.

some people

Even when she's quiet, she's impossible to ignore. Yukino Yukinoshita exudes a cold aura when she's still, like a conspicuous block of ice in the sweltering summer.

When Razer is quiet, he exudes a dangerous aura, making people think of him as an aggressive carnivore. In a safe environment, he is incredibly frightening.

"What brings Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka and this student Yozuki here?"

As she said this, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the indifferent Reiji with a somewhat ambiguous gaze. In fact, she knew Reiji, especially after the incident at Reiji's house.

At school, Yukino Yukinoshita has excellent grades, but compared to some of her classmates, she can't rise to the top.

Among the students with good grades, there were several male students who consistently ranked in the top five at school. Although Yukino Yukinoshita was very smart, she was still a bit inferior to those students.

Akutsu Akira, skilled in both martial arts and literature; Uesugi Futaro, a top scholar; Sakamoto, a handsome and unmatched master; Yuiga Nariyuki, an ordinary scholar; Shirogane Miyuki, a candidate for student council president; and Yozuki Raizetsu, who holds the top position.

Since these six appeared, the top six in the same grade have always been the same six. Apart from Rai Zhe, who has remained unchanged, his good friend Shirogane Miyuki and the others have always wanted to dethrone him from the top spot.

Before he awakened his memories, he was quite competitive with these guys. Even without his dad's supervision, he didn't want to let his grades drop.

It can be said that these six guys, each with their own pride in their studies, all really wanted to go further. In their competition with each other, no one else could break through or get involved.

Yukino Yukinoshita knew those six desperate walls of despair blocking her way all too well.

None of these six boys came from better families than Yukino Yukinoshita. According to Yukino's investigation, they were all more diligent in their studies than her, which directly stimulated this proud young lady, who also wanted to surpass these six boys.

"That's right, beneath the snow..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Raiichi, whose face remained expressionless, and then revealed the purpose of her visit.

Raiji wanted to create a gaming club, but Yukinoshita's club didn't have enough members. Hiratsuka Shizuka, who wanted to keep a close eye on the two, wanted to merge their clubs, ostensibly to use Raiji's club to cover up the unruly Service Club.

I had asked Lei Zhe for his opinion before, and he didn't have much of an objection. He just wanted a place to be, even if it was used to cover for others, as long as it didn't disturb him while he was playing the game.

He had no objection to sharing a place with Yukino Yukinoshita.

"It means my club and this student's club should share the same space, which..."

This is against the rules. Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't say that. Her own Service Club members occupying a classroom by themselves is even more against the rules. To say that others are against the rules would be too hypocritical.

It was already against the rules for Hiratsuka Shizuka to do her a favor and let her successfully create the Service Club. Yukino Yukinoshita knew this, so she didn't want to put Hiratsuka Shizuka in a difficult position.

However, it's honestly quite awkward to have Yukino Yukinoshita, who has no friends and isn't good at communicating with people, spend time with people she only knows by nodding acquaintance.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the handsome young man with black hair and blue eyes next to Shizuka Hiratsuka. His blue eyes were quite similar to hers.

Yukino's looks like ice crystals, while Raiji's looks like the blue sky.

She knew a little about Lei Zhe's situation through rumors, and she felt very sorry for him for the terrible thing he had suffered.

"You don't need to worry about Tetsuya, Yukinoshita. The rumors about him are similar to those about you. He's definitely not a bad kid."

When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw Yukino Yukinoshita looking at the indifferent Raiji, she assumed that Yukino was worried about the rumors surrounding Raiji, so she couldn't help but explain.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's mother is truly worried sick about her two troublesome children.

"...Don't worry, Ms. Hiratsuka. I have no objection to this student. I agree to what you said."
