Practical Teaching: A Guide to the Training of a Humanoid Succubus

The pink-haired angel bowed slightly and handed the small gift she had just bought to Dongfang Yi.

She smiled and replied, "Well, the interview is over. Sorry to bother you, Dongfang."

"How can this be considered a disturbance? For a chef, there is nothing more joyful than having friends taste the food you cook."

Dongfang Yi was indeed happy from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, if the incident just now had not happened, he might be happier instead of feeling guilty like he does now.

He stepped back to clear the way for the other party. "Please, Ichinose-san."

"Well, then I will obey your command."

Ichinose Honami smiled back and walked in.

She walked to the center of the room and sniffed the air, "Is Sakura-san here?"

Your nose is really sensitive! Dongfang Yi sighed in his heart.

"She just went back." Dongfang Yi still kept smiling: "She said she would come back later. Do you want to try some ribs first?"

"No, I'll wait until everyone is here before we enjoy it together." Ichinose sat down on the chair: "It's not good to eat secretly."

"..."

I'm really surprised that you have such a high level of ideological awareness, Ichinose-san.

Dongfang Yi's mouth twitched slightly: "Then let's have some fruit first."

He opened the refrigerator and took out a bunch of free fruits.

"Eh? Did Higashikata-san buy so many fruits? Isn't it a waste to use points like this?" Ichinose asked curiously.

After all, everyone has 100,000 points, and that's a known fact. However, while some prices in school are cheaper than outside, they're not that much cheaper.

"Don't waste it. I got this for free from the cafe. I'm the chief barista and chief pastry chef at Paret." Dongfang Yi chuckled and said, "The manager thinks highly of me and allowed me to take some as a reward."

Dongfang Yi habitually omitted some facts.

Although the store manager thinks highly of him, he won't give him so much at once.

In fact, all of this was replaced by the princess's free meals minus the small cakes.

This is the amount I’ve saved for three days!

"Is Dongfang-san so amazing?" Ichinose was a little surprised.

"It's just so-so." Dongfang Yi put the fruit on the table.

"Does Dongfang's family make cakes?"

"Well. This...actually, I don't know what my family does." Dongfang Yi said with a wry smile.

He didn't even know if he had parents in this world.

And most of the things at the birthplace were sold by him.

If I really have parents, and they are just traveling... after they come home...

He dared not think.

He coughed and changed the subject: "How was Ichinose's interview? Was she elected to the student council?"

"I refused." Ichinose remembered his recorder, took it out and handed it to Dongfang Yi.

"Is that so?" Dongfang Yi took the recorder, casually retracted the Exploration Eye, and chuckled, "Those two guys from the Student Union will definitely be a headache."

He connected the recorder to the computer with a data cable, put on headphones, and listened to the recording openly.

"Who knows?" Ichinose looked around. She didn't want to think about those two people anymore for the time being.

"By the way, I heard about the school rules from Nanyun." When she mentioned those two people, she still remembered the previous conversation.

"What rules?"

"He said that the school will gather the best students in Class A. Is that true?" Ichinose asked curiously.

Dongfang Yi listened and began to answer questions: "How should I put it? Yes and no."

He continued, "Class division isn't that simple. It's like an unfair competitive game."

"An unfair competitive game?"

"This has to start with the purpose of the school." Dongfang Yi tapped the screen and began to speed up the process.

"The purpose of school?" Ichinose Neko tilted her head.

"Of course, this school was established to fulfill its original political purpose. The purpose of the school is to cultivate talents." Dongfang Yi curled his lips and fell into deep thought: "Although in my opinion... it's a bit difficult to hold on."

"Does Ichinose know what constitutes a talent?" Dongfang Yi asked.

"Excellent... um..." Ichinose hesitated, "The scope is too broad, I can't think of it."

"Indeed, the scope is too broad. Logically speaking, outstanding people in all walks of life should be considered talented, so it's difficult to have a single standard for judging." Dongfang Yi smiled, "And in general education, academic performance and physical ability are actually the key to judging a student's excellence. But this school is different."

"Different? But shouldn't schools always judge students this way?" Ichinose pondered the possibilities behind Dongfang Yi's words: "Could it be that morality is involved?"

"Morality? Hahahaha, cough haha." Dongfang Yi was amused by her, tears streaming down his face. "If only it were truly moral. In fact, although this school claims to comprehensively evaluate students' qualities, it actually only uses a tricky method."

"A trick?"

"Well, it's just like the Chinese proverb: Birds of a feather flock together. The school divides students into different groups, raises the cost of switching groups, and makes them compete with each other." Dongfang Yi spread his hands helplessly.

"In the end, the group that wins out is the so-called talent."

"Is... that so?" Ichinose was a little confused. She had only been attending the school for a short time and felt that this school was no different in any other way except for its overly complete facilities and excellent welfare benefits.

"Ichinose, why don't you guess how they divided it." Dongfang Yi handed her paper and pen just like he did in the morning.

"According to the class?" Ichinose couldn't help but think of Nagumo's complacency when he talked about being promoted to Class A.

"That's right. The school categorizes students by class, grading them from A to D based on their perceived excellence and stability. Class A has the highest overall quality, while Class D..." Dongfang Yi thought of the talented students in Class D. "They can't be called the worst, but the most extreme, with the greatest risk."

"I see." Ichinose thought thoughtfully.

"What? Nanyun said that you were not assigned to Class A, so your quality is not good?" Dongfang Yi said with a smile.

"That's true. But compared to Dongfang-san, I'm still far behind."

Ichinose frankly admitted her shortcomings. Because the school year had just started, she took Dongfang Yi's qualities as the overall quality of Class A.

"Well, actually, you are much better than most people in Class A. Don't compare yourself to me, an exception, Ichinose-san." Dongfang Yi knew she had misunderstood: "I mean it. In the final analysis, Class A is just more stable and better overall."

"Is that right?"

"Of course, I've said that this game in school isn't fair competition. But if we really bring together the best talents, how will the other classes have a chance of turning the tables?" Dongfang Yi explained.

"If other classes can't put pressure on Class A, how can there be any competition?"
