"Raiden Mei, huh? Your name is quite nice, senpai." Luo Chen casually replied to Raiden Mei, then noticed the school gate not far away: "I'll leave you here, senpai. I won't trouble you any further."
Raiden Mei was a little disappointed upon hearing this, but she still nodded and said, "Then I'll leave you here. Goodbye, junior."
"Goodbye." Luo Chen waved goodbye to Raiden Mei as he walked away, his figure gradually disappearing from the girl's sight.
"It's time to go back to the classroom." After Luo Chen was out of sight, Raiden Mei turned around and walked towards the teaching building.
Chapter 3 A Ray of Sunshine in the Darkness
After leaving Qianyu Academy, Luo Chen began to wander aimlessly through the streets, looking around as if trying to imprint the city's appearance in his mind.
“Raiden Mei, we’ve already encountered one of the starter Pokémon.” Luo Chen muttered to himself, his eyes still searching for something. “If I remember correctly, we won’t be able to meet Kiana for a while. As for Bronya, let’s wait until St. Freya. Going to her now would be tantamount to suicide.”
Just as Luo Chen was planning for the future, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and answered without hesitation, "Aunt Chuxue, what's up?"
"You know what's going on." Qingye Chuxue's meaningful voice came through the phone: "Xiao Chen, where are you right now?"
"On the street." Luo Chen stood in front of a cake shop, looking at the sign at the entrance: "The transfer has all been taken care of, Auntie, you don't need to worry."
"Okay, take care of yourself then. I have to go on a mission, I'll hang up now."
Before Luo Chen could say goodbye, Qingye Chuxue hung up the terminal, turned around and looked at the members of her team with a serious expression: "Our destination this time is Siberia. A horde of Honkai beasts has suddenly appeared there. The mission from headquarters is to exterminate the Honkai beasts there and investigate the cause of their appearance. Understand?"
"Understood!"×5
"Alright." Kiyono Hatsuyuki nodded slightly, her right hand resting on the long sword hanging at her waist: "Snow Feather Squad directly under the Destiny Headquarters, listen to my command, depart."
………………
"Really? Is it that urgent?"
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up on, Luo Chen was somewhat speechless. However, he immediately put the matter out of his mind and headed straight for the cake shop.
"Chocolate flavor is definitely the best." Luo Chen smiled happily as he savored the cake in front of him, his spoon moving constantly as he tasted each bite.
"Once I've gotten along better with Kiana, I'll bring her here," Luo Chen thought, but then suddenly remembered Kiana's appetite and immediately dismissed the idea: "Never mind, my wallet doesn't support me doing that."
"Huh? Who's that?" Just as Luo Chen was eating, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure being half-pushed and half-forced into a side alley by a few thugs across the street. He couldn't help but facepalm and said, "Never mind, I'll go over there."
Seeing the delinquents surrounding her, Yuno's heart sank to the bottom. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she slowly backed away until she touched the wall.
"What's wrong, little sister? Keep backing up." The red-haired leader looked at Yuno with a sly grin, "Why aren't you backing up? Want to have some fun with your brothers? Don't worry, you'll like this feeling."
"No, please don't..." Yuno pleaded in a low voice, "I have money on me, I can give it to you, please let me go."
"You have money? That's even better. When it's all over, we can borrow some money to spend."
"Boss, what are you waiting for? The brothers can't wait any longer." Seeing that the red-haired guy hadn't made a move yet, a henchman came over to stir things up, giving Yuno a lewd look: "This girl looks like she's never been in a relationship, she's definitely tender."
“That’s true, it’s not too late to talk about it after we’re done.” The red-haired man nodded at his underling’s words, then stepped forward and reached out to grab Yuno.
Seeing the hands reaching out to her, Yuno closed her eyes in despair and knelt down in the muddy alley, completely disregarding her clothes.
“That’s more like it.” Seeing that Yuno had lost all desire to resist, the red-haired man laughed and quickened his pace toward her: “Let me…”
"Who are you? Go—ah!"
Before Red Hair could finish speaking, he heard a scream from one of his underlings behind him, followed by several loud crashes. Red Hair stopped and looked back in confusion. He saw his former underlings lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs and groaning in pain. Among them stood a white-haired youth, staring blankly at Red Hair.
"Who are you?" Seeing Luo Chen knock down his underlings, Red Hair felt humiliated and glared angrily at Luo Chen.
"Just a Kamen Rider passing by," Luo Chen replied casually. "Next up is you. So, let's count your sins."
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Yuno was somewhat bewildered: "Am I... saved?"
Looking at Luo Chen standing at the alley entrance, Yuna felt as if she had seen a sun shining into the darkness. Her body, which had been trembling with fear, gradually calmed down.
"Arrogant." Red Hair was completely enraged by Luo Chen's words. He raised his fist and charged forward: "You little dog, I can take you down with one punch."
Staring at the red-haired man's face, Luo Chen sneered. Before the red-haired man could charge at him, Luo Chen rushed in front of him, forcefully clamping the red-haired man's fist with his left hand. He quickly raised his right leg, using the momentum of his charge to slam it into the red-haired man's chest, sending him flying with a single blow. Then, he pulled his left hand sharply backward, and the red-haired man flew backward along with Luo Chen's hand.
"Wow, she's incredibly strong." Seeing this unbelievable scene before her, Yuno felt her little brain wasn't quite up to the task, so she gave up trying to think. In any case, she was saved.
"Damn it!" Red Hair, lying on the ground, cried out in pain. Just as he was about to get up, Luo Chen stomped on Red Hair's chest again. The residual force made Red Hair's whole body tremble, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted, with a few drops of blood coming out of his mouth.
Seeing this overwhelming victory, even though the underlings were no longer in pain, they all pretended to be dead on the ground, because no one wanted to become the next red-haired guy.
Seeing that his underlings were all pretending to be dead, Luo Chen didn't go all out to kill them all, after all, as long as it didn't interfere with his own affairs, it was fine.
"Are you okay?"
Luo Chen walked to Yuno's side, gently pulled her up, and asked her in a soft voice.
"It's nothing." Yuno shook her head, blushing, and said, "Um, thank you."
"It's no big deal." Luo Chen shrugged, looking indifferent. "I can take care of these guys six times a month. One more or one less won't make a difference."
Judging from the boy's tone, Yuno glanced at his face, trying to glean some information. But upon seeing his features, her face flushed involuntarily, and she quickly lowered her head, not wanting Luo Chen to see her expression.
Seeing Yuno's blushing face, Luo Chen suddenly felt playful and quietly approached Yuno's ear, gently blowing a breath.
"what!"
Feeling a warm current brush past her ear, Yuna trembled slightly and whispered to Luo Chen, "Please, please don't do this."
"Sorry." Seeing that Yuno buried her head even deeper, Luo Chen stopped trying to tease her.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Luo Chen. What's yours?" Luo Chen stood next to Yuno, casually looking at the delinquent lying on the ground, silently calculating something in his mind.
"Yuno Sato." Yuno said her name and then fell silent.
"As expected." Luo Chen looked at the girl in front of him with an "I knew it" expression, then glanced at Yuno's legs covered in mud, his face slightly furrowed: "Your clothes are dirty. My house is nearby, why don't you come to my house to clean them up first?"
"..."
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and sitting on the unfamiliar sofa, Yuna realized that she had been brought home by someone she had just met, and her whole body involuntarily shrank back.
"These are my sister's clothes from a few years ago, you should be able to wear them." Luo Chen came down from the second floor carrying a set of clothes. Seeing Yuno curled up on the sofa, he looked at her suspiciously: "What are you doing?"
"No, it's nothing." Yuna raised her head slightly, her eyes secretly glancing at Luo Chen sitting opposite her, then at the clothes placed beside her, her face slightly flushed: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Luo Chen sprawled on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling. "Yuno is from Chiba Academy too, right?"
"Uh-huh?"
Yuno was surprised that Luo Chen knew she was a student of Qianyu Academy, since she wasn't wearing the academy's uniform. His use of "also" puzzled her.
"I'm also from Chiyu Academy, or rather, I'll be there tomorrow." Luo Chen noticed Yuno's confusion and explained, then took off his glasses and placed them on the coffee table, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"As for how I knew you were from Qianyu Academy," Luo Chen said, pointing to the school badge on Yuno's bag, his tone slightly speechless, "I'm not blind."
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Yuna gradually relaxed her guard. Her face was still flushed, and she looked at Luo Chen without saying a word.
"Alright, feel free to change your clothes. You can leave your old clothes at my place, and come get them when you have time." Luo Chen put away his glasses on the coffee table, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen on his own: "The bathroom is right next door, go there yourself, I'll cook. Don't refuse, we haven't had any guests in a long time."
"I understand. Um, thank you."
Looking at Yuno standing in front of him, Luo Chen reminded her, "It's afternoon now, so it should be pretty safe. Remember not to go to any secluded places, and hurry home. If you encounter any more bad guys, run away immediately and then call me. I just gave it to you."
Hearing Luo Chen's instructions, Yuno felt a warm current surge through her heart and kept nodding in agreement, completely unaware that the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up.
"Alright, that's all for now. It's getting late, you should head back." Seeing Yuno's happy expression, Luo Chen smiled and waved to her, "We're friends now, right?"
"Mm." Hearing Luo Chen call her a friend, Yuna was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Well then, goodbye." Yuno extended her right hand and gently said goodbye to Luo Chen. Only after seeing that he did the same thing did she turn around and leave Luo Chen's house with satisfaction.
Watching Yuno's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Luo Chen subconsciously muttered, "I hope that in the future, things won't end up like they did in the past."
Chapter 4 As expected, the Far East is a street.
Looking at the boy introducing himself on the podium, Raiden Mei couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate, but then she remembered that Luo Chen had called her "senior" earlier, which made her feel a little strange.
"We're clearly in the same year, why are you calling me 'senior'?"
Just as Raiden Mei was pondering, she suddenly saw Luo Chen finish his self-introduction and walk straight over, then sit down next to Raiden Mei—behind Yuno. Raiden Mei then saw the two of them greet each other with smiles. (Don't ask why Yuno was there too; it's because the Honkai is omnipotent.)
"Do those two know each other?"
Seeing their actions, Raiden Mei's doubts deepened, but her noble upbringing told her that she shouldn't pry into other people's private affairs. So she put aside her questions and began to concentrate on the lecture.
"What a coincidence, we're actually in the same class."
Luo Chen looked at Yuno, placed his hands on the table, and whispered to her, "How have you been these past few days?"
“That’s great,” Yuno replied. “I didn’t expect what you said yesterday to come true, Luo Chen.”
After Luo Chen completed his enrollment procedures, there were still a few days before his official start date, so he simply stayed at home, playing games and chatting with Yuno. Last night, the two made a bet on whether they would be in the same class.
"Of course, my guess is very accurate."
Luo Chen looked at Yuno with a smile, thinking to himself, "It's so comfortable sitting behind Yuno."
As for why I didn't sit behind Raiden Mei? Please, as soon as get out of class is over, I'm surrounded by her so-called friends. It's much more fun sitting with Yuno. I can even tease her occasionally during class, which is fantastic.
"Has Luo Chen thought about those conditions?"
After what happened last time and a few days of online communication, Yuna discovered that Luo Chen was a particularly gentle person to his friends. Her original inferiority complex slowly disappeared when she was with him, and she unconsciously relaxed when talking to him.
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it later. After all, there's an old saying in China: 'You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple.'"
"I see." Yuna didn't quite understand what Luo Chen was saying: "Then aren't you afraid I'll forget or deliberately not remember?"
"How could I forget someone as cute as Yuno?" After getting to know Yuno better, Luo Chen started acting crazy from time to time, which always made Yuno very shy.
"Ring—ring—ring—"
The first class ended quickly amidst the two chatting and laughing. The moment the homeroom teacher walked out of the classroom, nearly two-thirds of the girls in the class ran to Luo Chen's desk and started asking him all sorts of questions.
