In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"Do you even need to ask?"

Yoru's expression and tone made Futaba Rio herself begin to doubt whether she had just said something outrageous.

think carefully.

Isn't this a perfectly normal question?

Why not go to Shuchiin Academy, the private school known as the cradle of future talents in Sakura Province, or the Advanced Education Institute, which is known as a stepping stone to social mobility and where anyone with sufficient ability can achieve any dream?

Zongwu Gao is also alright.

But after all, it's not Shuchiin or Advanced Nursing Home.

"Think about it."

Yoruboshi analyzed the situation for Futaba Rio very seriously.

"With my first-place score in the Sakura Province entrance exam, even if I were to get into Advanced Education or Shuchiin University, I would still be considered one of the best. But in the history of these two schools, there have been many students who have achieved first place in the entrance exam, right?"

That's true.

Rio Futaba nodded slightly in agreement.

It is said that many students in the history of the Advanced Education and Xiuzhi Academy achieved the top score in the provincial joint examination.

Rather.

A genius who can get first place in the provincial joint examination will only consider these two schools as their options.

Compared to these two schools, other universities are utterly outclassed in terms of campus environment, faculty strength, connections, and future development.

In the entire history of Sakura Province, among the students who achieved first place in the joint entrance examination, there is probably only Yohoshi who would choose to enroll in a third option besides Shuchiin and Advanced Nursing Home.

"so."

Ye Xing shrugged, looking completely at ease.

"With my grades, coming to Zongwu High School means I'm considered a top student by the school. As long as my requests aren't too outrageous, the school will give me preferential treatment."

Before Rio Futaba could answer, he added a sentence.

"The so-called special privileges include this activity room."

Upon hearing these words, Rio Futaba had only one thought.

You're being way too honest, aren't you?

This kind of thing is better left unsaid, even if you just think about it in your heart. Why say it out loud like that?

Unspoken rules, unspoken rules.

It's precisely because everyone knows it, but it can't be brought to light, that's what makes it a hidden rule.

but...

Rio Futaba tried to think about it from a different perspective.

If you were the head of Soubu High School and learned that the top scorer in this year's Sakura Province Joint Examination had chosen to enroll in Soubu High School, what would your reaction be?

This humble abode is made to shine.

Guangzong Yaozu.

Punching Shuchiin Academy, kicking Advanced Nursing School!

Soubu High School, when will you become the number one in the Sakura Province?

Just today!

"but..."

Rio Futaba looked at Yohoshi with a puzzled expression.

"We never see you studying, how can you maintain these grades?"

"Hmph, a piece of cake."

"Are you just bragging?"

"That's what you don't understand, Futaba-kun."

A look of nostalgia and emotion suddenly appeared in Ye Xing's eyes, and she slowly spoke.

"Can you imagine a campus life where classes start at 6:30 in the morning and end at 11:00 at night, with only a 20-minute lunch break and no breaks between classes?"

"How could this be possible?"

Rio Futaba shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"Let alone a school, this is completely beyond the physiological limits of human beings, isn't it? There's no way such a place could exist."

"You're too naive, Rio Futaba."

Ye Xing shook his head, looked at the scenery outside the window, and slowly spoke.

"It was in this environment that I competed with tens of millions of my peers, fought my way through the narrow bridge, and became a brave person who stood out after hundreds and thousands of battles!"

Futaba Rio "......"

A few seconds later, she delivered the most accurate rant of her life.

"Judging from your description, this doesn't seem to be a hero."

"Is it a demon that crawled out of the eighteenth level of hell?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing nodded in deep agreement.

"Yeah, that's about the level of difficulty."

Rio Futaba sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. She naturally assumed that Yohoshi's words were the result of her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) acting up.

How could there be a school where students only sleep seven hours a day and have very little time to rest?

What's the difference between that and hell?

However, being a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is one thing.

Rio Futaba didn't doubt Yohoshi's claim that she joined the school as the top scorer in the Sakura Province Joint Entrance Examination.

In this way, many things become clear.

For example, why was it possible to form a club with only two members, Yotsuya Miko and Yohoshi, at the beginning, even though it didn't meet the minimum requirement of five members?

Furthermore, the club's purpose and the nature of its activities are unclear, yet it was assigned such a well-located, sunny activity room.

"Oh, right, there's something..."

For the first time, Rio Futaba's usually calm and rational face showed a nervous and hesitant expression. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally opened her lips and spoke.

"When I go home lately, I always feel like... someone is watching me."

"track?"

Upon hearing this word, Ye Xing frowned slightly.

"Did you see who it was? When did it start? Have they been following you every day?"

"Eh..."

Rio Futaba hadn't expected Yosei's answer to be so serious; she had thought that after hearing her request, Yosei would come up with some abstract words.

"Well... I'm not sure either, I just have a vague feeling. Maybe it's because of my past experiences that I'm more sensitive to other people's gaze."

"This is extremely serious."

With an air of righteous indignation, Ye Xing slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Don't worry, Futaba. Today, I, the unruly one chosen by heaven, will escort you home."

061 Futaba's verbal bullying and the privileges granted by the school.

After the afternoon classes ended, it was finally time to go home.

Rio Futaba stood at the classroom door, looking somewhat nervous, her head down as she stared at her feet...

No, her view was blocked by something, and she couldn't see her toes.

In short, he kept his head down and remained silent.

"Hey, look at her today, she's dressed in that weird outfit again."

"Yeah, wearing a white lab coat over a school uniform, is it considered unconventional, or is it deliberately trying to attract attention?"

"Maybe she seems aloof on the surface, but actually has a very lewd personality? After all, with that kind of body, you know what I mean."

"Haha, that makes sense."

......

Listening to the discussion of several male classmates in the distance, Rio Futaba's eyes, hidden behind her thick glasses, flashed with pain, and her hands, which were pressed against her sides, clenched tightly.

Just like back in junior high.

Because her body developed faster than her peers, Rio Futaba was often talked about by the boys at school.

In addition, her personality is not the kind that is sunny and cheerful and can integrate into a group, so her image is not very good in the eyes of other girls.

There was no physical conflict.

It's not so much about the atmosphere and the language used to bully others, but rather about the invisible power of bullying.

Rio Futaba originally thought that coming to a new school would be a fresh start for her.

Is the result... still the same?

The boys chatted and laughed, pointing and whispering at Rio Futaba, completely unaware of the psychological harm their words would cause her.

Or rather,

They know it, they just don't care.

Just at this time.

"Sorry, give in."

Ye Xing yawned and bumped into a group of boys who were huddled together and whispering.
