Lost Narrative Poetry

"No, I arrived at school five minutes ago and have been sitting here since just now."

Megumi Kato said this calmly and naturally.

Xia Ran raised her hand, tapped her temple with her index finger, and stared at her intently, feeling very puzzled. Why did he just come in from the back door of the classroom and pass by her without noticing her at all?

Is her rank Assassin? The class skill is inherently "aura blocking", which can eliminate one's own aura and hide one's own presence?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong, classmate Xia Ran?"

Kato Megumi looked at him strangely, not knowing why the other party kept staring at him. However, she didn't appear shy and uneasy like other girls. Apart from being puzzled and troubled, her expression was calm and generous.

"No, I just suddenly felt envious of you." Xia Ran sighed, it would be great if he mastered such a skill.

It wouldn't be like now, being secretly looked at by all kinds of eyes from all directions all the time. Being stared at is not a problem. The problem is that his perception is too sharp and he can always feel it clearly.

This is really awkward. Who can stand being watched and saluted by people all day long?

"?"

The girl tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant.

Xia Ran smiled, but did not mean to explain. After all, Kato Megumi himself did not think that a low sense of existence was something to be happy about. Although she didn't worry about this kind of thing very much, she kept it in mind all day long, and only showed a little distress when she talked about it.

"Speaking of which, Kato-san... do you want to be noticeable?" He touched his chin and suddenly had such an idea, so he asked the girl in the back seat.

"Attractive?" Kato Megumi thought for a moment, shook his head decisively and said, "I don't want to."

"Huh?"

Xia Ran was a little surprised. It was not easy to start the following conversation like this.

"I am indeed a little worried about my simplicity. After all, the impression I always give people is very weak, and I will ignore it if I am not careful. No matter how I say it, I will be a little bit shocked..."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Kato Megumi calmly explained, and she still maintained that regrettable calmness——

"I usually think that it would be nice if I could be more eye-catching, but I just think about it. Most of the time, I think this is actually good, and I have no real intention to make changes."

"Really?" Xia Ran thought thoughtfully. In this regard, he felt that the other party was right. There was nothing wrong with being low-key and inconspicuous.

——Especially in the past two days, he felt a little unbearable... So the looks from those bastards around him were enough! When I complete the practice of "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water", you will know whether you are alive or dead!

"Speaking of which, when Xia Ran asked this question, did you think of some way to make me stand out?"

Perhaps in order to avoid having nothing to say and making the atmosphere awkward, Kato Megumi asked such a question naturally.

"That's right, just create a new persona... What do you think of becoming an idol?" The boy's eyes flashed, and he gave a thumbs up to the girl in the back seat and said cheerfully.

"Become an idol?" Kato Megumi was slightly surprised, not quite able to understand what this method was.

"That's right, because the number of students enrolled has dropped sharply, the school is facing the crisis of being closed down. In order to promote the reputation of the college, you increased the enrollment volunteers and decided to become an idol, hoping that you can use your idol's reputation to increase the number of students. Save the campus you love..."

"..."

"..."

"Eh? Even if you suddenly made up such a story and insisted that the person in it was me, I wouldn't be able to do such a thing, right?" Kato Megumi looked at him dumbfounded.

"Nothing is impossible, Kato-san. Sometimes if you don't work hard, you won't even know what despair is..." Xia Ran clenched her fists and said this convincingly.

"Classmate Xia Ran, can you... really be considered an encouragement?"

Kato Megumi's face suddenly became paler, and her voice revealed a subtle sense of helplessness and resignation. Why did it seem like something was completely wrong? But there seems to be no way to refute it.

——After all, if you don’t work hard, how can you know what despair is? This seems to be the case.

"Is there anything wrong?" Xia Ran said casually and perfunctorily, finding no problem. In other words, I didn’t think there was any problem.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore..." Megumi Kato looked helplessly out the window, "But this method is simply unrealistic."

"Is that unrealistic? According to my memory, this should be a clever plan... Don't give up too early!" Xia Ran didn't quite agree with Kato's words this time. He felt that his plan was flawless.

"But if nothing else, our school is not facing any crisis of school closure!"

Kato waved as usual and made a very bland complaint. She seemed to have recovered her mood and forgot about the poisonous chicken soup just now, but it was rare for her to hit the key point.

"..."

"..."

"Well, it seems that this is indeed a problem..." Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it seemed that the reality was indeed the case. No matter how good the plan was, it was useless. After all, there was no room for manipulation in reality, and there was no reason to carry out this plan.

"In other words, do we need to put the school into a crisis of abolition first? It feels a little difficult, but it is not completely impossible. The first step is to replace the student union and take control of the power of school affairs... Well, I will go now Talk to the principal."

He thought seriously about what he should do, and worked hard to achieve the ultimate goal step by step. Then he quickly cleared up his thoughts and said this with a slap on his palm.

The next moment, he stood up and turned to leave.

"...Eh? Well, you don't have to be so mobile, right? And isn't it bad to do this?" Kato Megumi was still sitting in his seat blankly, almost unable to react in time.

"Not so good? Well, that's right. How about participating in the student union election and using democratic means..."

"No, not that."

Is this what is called going up if there are difficulties, and going up even if there are no difficulties and creating difficulties? Since it is unrealistic, shouldn't a normal person think that there is no feasibility and just give up?

Why are you so serious about creating a school-abolition crisis to implement your own plan?

And I always feel that if I don't stop him, this kind of thing will really happen. It seems that this person will definitely achieve his goal!

…

…

Because of Kato Megumi's refusal, Xia Ran's immature idea could not continue.

It's a pity, after all, there are many kinds of difficulties, some can be overcome, and some cannot be overcome. Although Xia Ran was very confident that he could create a crisis for the school to abolish the school, since Kato Megumi himself clearly refused to become an idol.

Then he would naturally have no reason to do such a thing.

And because there seems to be a small test arranged today, both in the morning and afternoon, it is probably an arrangement for reviewing the academic performance of the students last month, just like a monthly exam... Xia Ran didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but after thinking about it, Until recently, I had to act nice to avoid Hiratsuka-sensei coming.

So I spent the whole day in the classroom again, which was quite a boring day.

——It's really boring. It doesn't take ten minutes to fill in all the answers to all the test papers. Except for the more flexible questions like essays, which are difficult to answer, other questions with standard answers can be guaranteed to be 100% correct. Rate.

So there was no need to check afterward. For the next long time, Xia Ran just lay on the table, looking weak and bored. I can’t even read a book anymore. I take out a book during the exam...

Some things still need to be taken into consideration. He didn't even reach into the drawer and read the information on it by touching the book, because it was less troublesome.

Until now, there are still many doubts about his first grade result last time, and they suspected that he was cheating.

The more outstanding a person is, the more enemies he will encounter in all directions. He hates these troubles and can only try to avoid them and not do anything that can be easily misunderstood.

So...it's really boring.

Meditation was also intermittent, and I was not able to transition to 3:30 in the afternoon in one breath.

After finally getting through school, he said hello to Megumi Kato, then he stood up unsteadily, walked straight out of the classroom, and left the teaching building towards the special building.

However, I happened to meet Hikigaya and Yuigahama on the first floor. They seemed to have just arrived and were greeting each other, but the former looked sleepy and the latter looked energetic.

"Koujia, you don't seem to be very energetic, what's the matter?"

"Of course you will lose your energy after watching that kind of thing... I'm still very sleepy now, but you, why are you still alive and kicking after watching that kind of work?"

Hikigaya yawned with a sleepy look on his face. After enduring the pain and reading Zaimokuza's novel yesterday, the sky had turned white, so that he had no energy all day today. He almost slept during class, and by the sixth I was still groggy during every class.

Fortunately, their class's test is scheduled for tomorrow, otherwise, he would definitely let Zaimuza understand what hell is - with his fists.

"Eh? Ah, you're right, oh, I feel so sleepy too." Yuigahama Yui said with a dry smile.

"Come on, you didn't even look..."

Hikigaya sighed, and then happened to see someone staggering over, so he raised his hand and said hello: "Good afternoon."

"Xia Ran, good afternoon."

Hearing their words, Xia Ran nodded lazily in response: "Good afternoon, you two..."

"Huh? Xia Ran, what's wrong with you? You look so lethargic..." Yuigahama Yui asked with some concern. The other party should have finished reading the novel a long time ago, and he didn't bring him the copy of the manuscript yesterday. go back.

Why do you still act so lackluster?

"Oh, I was so happy last night that I didn't sleep all night..." Xia Ran said casually, not saying that it was because she was too bored during the exam day. Anyway, this is not a lie. It is indeed a joyful thing to spend a night and learn a new skill on your own.

What makes you so happy? Yuigahama Yui tilted her head, and a question mark appeared on her head.

The three of them walked up to the fourth floor and arrived at the club activity room on the east side. After Xia Ran knocked on the door, she opened the door and went in.

Then he discovered that Yukinoshita was dozing off while sitting on the chair, breathing weakly, and sleeping quite peacefully. Her expression looked like she was smiling, which was completely different from her usual cold and flawless look.

The black hair that was swaying gently due to the gentle breeze blowing in from the window contrasted with the crystal clear and delicate snow-white skin, making it appear black and white. That peaceful sleeping face made people want to look at it forever.

Perhaps because of the knock on the door just now, her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

wrong! There is still time, let me grab fate by the throat! With quick eyes and quick hands, Xia Ran took out her phone in an instant, pressed the mute button, and then——

A flash of white light flashed.

The movement of the girl who opened her mouth like a kitten and yawned, and then stretched greatly, suddenly stopped.

Huh? When did the flash turn on? The corners of the initiator's mouth twitched a few times and he looked at the phone in his hand.

Behind him, the two people who had not yet had time to enter the activity room looked at each other, and then silently closed the door outside...
