In the third year of high school, I exchanged bodies with Yukinoshita

"That's because we have to wear thick clothes in autumn and winter, so there is such a requirement. Now it is still the summer schedule, and we should wear school uniforms inside." Teacher Sun was still relentless. He looked at the school leaders standing beside him, hoping they could give an answer.

"There are always unexpected situations. Teacher Sun, this is not a big deal." The school leaders did some Tai Chi.

As expected of a school-level leader, his ability to smooth things over is truly remarkable. Fang Xuan, who was sitting next to the class monitor, exclaimed.

Seeing that he couldn't break through here, Teacher Sun looked at Li Shu and "Zuo Yu" behind the class monitor. He narrowed his eyes and said to the head teacher with a smug look, "Teacher Bi, I remember that our school doesn't seem to encourage boys and girls to sit at the same table."

"It's not forbidden, but we don't encourage it. Teacher Sun, your reaction is a bit extreme. There are five girls in our class, so there must be a girl sitting at the same table with the boys."

"Then you can sit next to the podium. And won't your grades drop if you do that? What if..."

The homeroom teacher had obviously anticipated what Mr. Sun would say. He said to Mr. Sun, "Take a closer look. That girl is a rising star who's performed at school, and that boy is the top student in his grade. He also came in first in the last city exam. How could his grades drop?"

Teacher Sun's nitpicking continued, and he set his sights on Li Shu's long hair. Of the five girls in the class, only Li Shu and Yan Meng had long hair. The other girls all had short hair for easier daily care.

The reason Yan Meng has long hair is because Fang Xuan doesn't like the way she looks with short hair. As for Li Shu...

According to her hard-working behavior, she should have kept her hair short, after all, long hair takes time to take care of, but she still kept her hair long because Zuo Yu said he liked girls with long hair.

“Is it a problem for girls to have long hair?”

"But I remember in my senior year of high school we advocated for girls to have short hair, as it had many advantages."

"That's just a suggestion." The head teacher said with a smile.

"Why are you pretending? Don't you know what we mean by 'encouragement'?" But it seems this year's senior class is completely just encouraging it; quite a few girls still have long hair. Teacher Sun cursed inwardly, "How are you going to compete with me for a place in school if you're like this?"

With such lax management, the leadership will definitely not pay attention to me. They will definitely choose me who can execute the task perfectly, rather than you who likes to stand on the side of the students.

Thinking of this, Teacher Sun's face regained a warm smile, and he said to the school leaders: "It seems that Teacher Bi has his own set of experience in class management."

The school leader was looking at the report card posted on their class's front door and asked the head teacher, "Your class's grades seem to have improved a lot. Compared to when they were just divided, they can now be compared with the small classes in No. 1 Middle School."

"It's still a little bit behind. Zuo Yu is the only student at the front." The head teacher said modestly.

"It's already very good. Let's go to the next class, Teacher Sun." The school leader said to Teacher Sun with a smile, indicating that the inspection could be completed now.

"You guys can continue with your exams," the head teacher said before leaving. Then he took the school leaders and other students to check on their appearance in other classes.

"Finally, that grandson is gone." The squad leader said with a sense of relief.

"I feel like that bastard was really aggressive today, like he was on fire. He kept picking on things that happened in our class," Fang Xuan complained to the monitor. "I thought it was just like usual, but I didn't expect a hair and a school uniform jacket to cause him to bring up so many things."

"Are you okay?" Yukinoshita Yukino also took care of Li Shu beside her. She was also called by the teacher just now.

"It's okay, Yan Meng and I are used to it. He has caused trouble more than once. It's because the four of us often walk together." Li Shu didn't feel much, as this was not the first time this happened.

The class was briefly agitated by the departure of the inspection team, with most people complaining to their deskmates or those sitting in front and behind them about Teacher Sun. They could hear that Teacher Sun behaved in the next class just as he did in their own: nitpicking and making a mountain out of a molehill.

Hearing the next class quiet down, everyone in the class consciously shut up to avoid gossip. As the preparatory bell rang, it meant that the break time before self-study had arrived.

The homeroom teacher entered the classroom at the ringing of the bell and said to the students milling around, "If you need to go to the restroom, go. If you need to get water, get some. We'll have a small class meeting when the class starts."

Chapter 64 Open Class

The rain outside the window hadn't stopped yet, and the temperature was getting lower as night fell, but it wasn't so cold that I needed to wear a coat.

The head teacher stood on the podium, looked at the students who were already seated below, and began his speech.

"You should have noticed that Teacher Sun was particularly fond of picking on our class today. Actually, it wasn't just our class, but the entire senior year. He felt that I shouldn't be so indulgent with you and that I should be more strict. He felt that you should cut your hair short and wear school uniforms. I don't think so. I don't think it's necessary to manage you in that way. It's just superficial. But you should also pay more attention to Teacher Sun and don't let him catch you."

"Okay, enough small talk. Time to get down to business. I'm going to give an open class tomorrow, so you guys should prepare well. Let me talk about the scope..."

The head teacher marked the boundaries on the board, then asked the students below to take a look at the boundaries before leaving.

It wasn't the first time Yukinoshita Yukino had heard of the concept of an open class, but it was the first time they'd outlined the scope of the class like this. And it was all about content that had already been taught. They were already in the review phase, but they were still backtracking to what they'd already learned. But this class meeting didn't seem to have much to do.

Yukinoshita Yukino was bored, flipping through her textbook, looking at the key points she'd already reviewed. She looked out at the pitch-black darkness outside, the water droplets on the window blurring the view of the neighboring school building, though her face, reflected in the glass, was crystal clear. "It's getting a bit chilly," she thought. "I'll need a coat tomorrow."

"I'm so handsome." A familiar voice broke Yukinoshita Yukino's boring campus life.

"You're so narcissistic." She complained to Zuo Yu in her mind, feeling very happy. "When did you come?"

"Just now, when the homeroom teacher was holding a class meeting, did that grandson do anything today?" Zuo Yu asked Yukinoshita Yukino. He had just heard Teacher Sun picking on the thorns in his class. What happened?

"We just had an appearance check. First they said it wasn't appropriate for the class monitor to wear only a jacket during the school uniform, and then they talked about the problem of Li Shu having long hair." Yukinoshita Yukino briefly explained what had just happened.

"Isn't this just looking for trouble? And they're not targeting our class, but the entire senior year. Plus, with tomorrow's open class, there's probably some competition between the two of them for a position in school."

Zuo Yu pieced together part of the truth of the matter through this information.

“Will competition among teachers be passed down to students?”

"Of course. Our students are the product of our teachers' work. Generally, a teacher's management of students is judged from two perspectives: discipline and grades. Actually, that grandson can't compare to our homeroom teacher in terms of grades, so he can only focus on discipline. However, for school leaders, as long as no one is killed, there's no problem with discipline. The school values ​​grades more. As long as the undergraduate and key university admission rates are high, it means the teacher is doing a good job."

Zuo Yu casually explained the situation here, saying that grades are more important than discipline, and only schools that cannot achieve good results will strictly enforce discipline.

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded to show that she understood, and then asked about the open class.

"Open classes are recorded in a classroom on the second floor of the administration building. They're meant to be watched by people above us, so we have to prepare in advance. So, what are your open classes about?"

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled the open classes she had in elementary school. It seemed that parents were required to attend the open classes there, but her parents were very busy at that time and did not come. In the end, it seemed that her sister came to attend.

"It's something like a parent-child activity, and parents are required to attend. It's different from what you have here."

"As for parent-child activities, here parents usually only come to school for parent-teacher conferences and coming-of-age ceremonies. Or they're only called in when a student gets in trouble, so generally, parents aren't particularly happy when they're called in."

"What about your school festivals and sports meets? Don't you invite parents to these events?"

"There's no such thing as a school festival. There are, however, events like school anniversaries. They're usually held every five years, and parents have nothing to do with them. They usually involve choir competitions, reading competitions, and individual performances from each class. Then there's a party in the auditorium for the teachers, and that's it."

"As for the sports meet, parents won't be invited. The sports meet is held once a year, but seniors don't participate. The sports meet here is a real competition, with classes competing against each other. Each class is judged by their ranking in each event, and certificates are awarded at the end. This is also counted towards the homeroom teacher's performance."

After saying this, Zuo Yu thought about the sports meet he attended in his freshman and sophomore years of high school. He didn't remember much about the sports on the field, but he was impressed by playing cards on the podium.

"The gap is quite big. Are you guys going on another school trip?"

"These seem to be the activities you have this semester."

Zuo Yu recalled the conversation with Mr. Hiratsuka today. These seemed to be the activities of Yukinoshita Yukino this semester.

"Yes."

"I'm so envious! How could we possibly have the kind of school trips you mentioned? I heard big cities do have them, though. My school definitely doesn't have any. The big outings are probably about a hundred days before the college entrance exams, when we go to a nearby temple to pray for good omens. Or in the spring, we go to a nearby park and participate in volunteer activities called outings."

"There's nothing to envy. You're using my body right now. Maybe you can participate in these activities."

"Do you want the body swapping to continue for so long? It seems like you really like this place." Zuo Yu said.

"No, it's just that the reason for the body swap hasn't been found yet. It looks like this matter will take some time to resolve."

No, I've found it. But I'm afraid that guy won't let you and me go so easily. Zuo Yu muttered to himself.

"Okay, enough small talk. Nothing special happened here today, did I?"

"No, but I have something special. I want to buy your cat some toys and premium cat food or something. Is that okay?"

"Okay." Zuo Yu didn't mind this behavior. Although the cat was the mastermind behind it, it had no ill intentions.

It would be better if we could just give the cat some goodies to put an end to what is happening next.

It seems that nothing happened on my side, but a lot of things happened to Yukinoshita Yukino today.

Chapter 65 Foolish Hayato Hayama

Zuo Yu prepared breakfast and lunch at Yukinoshita Yukino's house, and then went out to school.

The weather outside was beautiful, the sun was shining brightly, and the blue sky made people feel happy. Zuo Yu was walking on the way to school, still wondering if this body swap could end just like that.

How can I trick my cat into stopping this behavior? He was walking like this when he suddenly felt someone was looking at him.

Who is it? It seems like Kurohime Yuto from next door was already out when I came here this morning, so she's probably already at school.

So who would be observing Yukinoshita Yukino now? She originally had no interpersonal relationships, but after she swapped places with her, someone seemed to be hostile to her.

Yumiko Miura, the blonde girl who seems to be secretly in love with Hayato Hayama.

Zuo Yu began to look around for any golden presence, and then he found the trio walking behind him.

The black-haired girl with glasses, the pink-haired girl, and the blonde Yumiko Miura. The three of them went to school together. Looking at them, Zuo Yu missed Fang Xuan, who had always gone to school with him.

This is the first few days since I swapped bodies. I miss my friends who I can play with.

However, their gazes were not particularly presumptuous. They were just looking at him from behind and talking to each other from time to time.

In this situation, if I go up to them and ask why they are watching me, I will be called sick. Forget it, I am used to people talking behind my back.

Zuo Yu didn't care about their affairs. Although he wanted to establish contact with Yuigahama Yui, this behavior that was obviously looking for trouble would not be liked by others.

Zuo Yu walked towards his classroom as a student should.

It wasn't time for class yet, and everyone in the classroom was chatting with each other. Kurohime Yuito was still the center of attention, and everyone was still gathered around her.

Zuo Yu picked up the chair on the table, put it on the ground and sat down.

"Yukinoshita-san, Mr. Hiratsuka wants to see you."

Just as Zuo Yu sat down and prepared to continue looking at the scenery outside the window and thinking about the body swap, a girl brought a message to Zuo Yu, saying that it was Mr. Hiratsuka who was looking for him.

Zuo Yu looked at the girl in front of him. Her face wasn't anything special, but he did remember her voice. She was the girl who had once wanted to ask Yukinoshita Yukino for advice.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you, Hanyu-san."

Zuo Yu stood up and headed for his office. The hallways were filled with students playing and joking around. It seemed high school students were always full of energy, no matter where they were. But it felt a bit too idle here; I felt the academic pressure should be increased.

Zuo Yu thought about this and walked to the office door. He pushed it open. Mr. Hiratsuka was the only one in the office. Had the other teachers not arrived yet?

"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Mr. Hiratsuka in front of him quickly put away the comic book in his hand.

Well, it’s a hot-blooded comic. It seems that Mr. Hiratsuka is also a fan of hot-blooded comics.

Mr. Hiratsuka coughed twice, trying to ease the embarrassment of being discovered by his students reading a passionate comic in the office.

"Why didn't you knock when you came in?"

"I believe offices are public spaces, and you shouldn't need to knock to enter a public space."

"You didn't see it?"

"Isn't it just a steamy manga? Is there anything to be ashamed of? Adults also have their own ways of relieving stress. If you can relieve stress just by reading steamy manga, I think that's a good thing."

"It's good that you can think this way. Adults have all kinds of suffering and are under a lot of pressure."

"For example, you who are being exploited right now?"

"I wasn't exploited. Everything was voluntary. Preparing for the school festival, the sports day, and the field trip were all voluntary."

"So you, teacher, were bullied so badly."

"Ahem, anyway, this is all my own free will. Wait, why am I telling you this? What did I ask you to do?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka's rhythm was disrupted and she forgot what she was looking for Yukinoshita Yukino for.

"I think it might have something to do with my club."

"Yes, yes, it's related to your club. I found an unused classroom at school yesterday that I can use as a club room for you."

This is quite efficient. Before I even found the third person to join the club, the classroom was already ready for me. It seems that Mr. Hiratsuka really cares about Yukinoshita Yukino.

"But even though we've found the classroom, you'd better find a third person and set up your club as soon as possible. During lunch break, I'll show you around."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hiratsuka."

"It's not a big deal. I hope you can get your club back on track soon."

Shizuka Hiratsuka thought that the fact that Yukinoshita Yukino was able to communicate normally with others and set up a club had already solved her problem of being a child.

The remaining boy with dead eyes is more difficult to deal with. It will be difficult for him to change unless he seeks change himself.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first, teacher."

Zuo Yu looked at Mr. Hiratsuka, who was silent in front of him and had a difficult expression on his face. Although he wanted to meddle in other people's business, Yukinoshita would not meddle in other people's business.

"Well, let's go back to the classroom."

Zuo Yu left the office with light steps. The club classroom was something he had never experienced before. He walked down the corridor with the feeling of experiencing something new.

When I walked to the door of Class J, Hayato Hayama and his younger brothers just came out of the classroom. Seeing them coming in a group, I thought they were going to have a fight, but in fact they were just going to the bathroom.
