Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

This was the immense difference in academic ability between her and Yae Star.

This couldn't even be called a rivalry; it was a difference in level.

“You must be very pleased with yourself now, Yae Star.”

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words, the frivolous smile on Yae Star's face instantly vanished, replaced by an expression of utter boredom as he casually sat down by the window.

“Pleased? I wouldn't say that. I will definitely be first; there won't be any surprises. Since there's no possibility of failure, this obvious and expected victory naturally won't cause the slightest emotional change in me.”

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed softly.

“You really are arrogant.”

Yae Star chuckled and casually replied,

“I'm just stating a fact.”

After a brief silence, Yukinoshita Yukino brushed her hair back with her hand and quietly said,

“That… about this joint exam… thank you.”

“Thank me for what?”

Yae Star waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently,

“Didn't I say? Even without your involvement, I would have taken first place in the joint exam.”

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded noncommittally, her expression slightly hesitant before she finally spoke.

“Then… what about those things you said to the Shuchiin teacher? Like Soubu High is the most outstanding school? And Hiratsuka-sensei is the most outstanding teacher?”

“Oh, that.”

Contrary to Yukinoshita Yukino's expectations, Yae Star directly nodded in response to this question, admitting without reservation,

“Those words were indeed said to solve your problem.”

“This…”

Before Yukinoshita Yukino could say anything, Yae Star held up five fingers to her and wiggled them.

“Counting this time, I'm ahead of you by five requests, huh.”

Yukinoshita Yukino was taken aback for a moment, then helplessly shook her head.

“You really are competitive.”

“It's not about being competitive; I'm just telling you to listen to someone more capable than you from now on, which is me, Yae Star-sama, and obediently act as a member of the Overdrive Club.”

Noticing the ambiguous smile in Yae Star's eyes, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, her voice tinged with a hint of coldness.

“You… you're not thinking about something inappropriate, are you?”

Yae Star put on a very surprised expression.

“Yukinoshita-san, your thoughts are so dirty. I was clearly talking about club activities; what are you talking about?”

“Sigh…”

Yukinoshita Yukino knew Yae Star's personality well enough to only helplessly sigh and rub her forehead, unable to say anything.

Just then.

The door to the activity room was gently pulled open.

A woman wearing a kimono, with a noble and dignified air, walked in led by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The moment she clearly saw the other person's face, Yukinoshita Yukino was dumbfounded.

“M… Mother.”

Madam Yukinoshita glanced at Yukino and simply nodded slightly.

Then, her gaze turned to Yae Star, who was sitting by the window, and she said softly,

“We meet again, Yae Star-kun.”

Yae Star smiled and uttered something shocking.

“Mom, how have you been lately?”

Yukino could tell that her mother, who always maintained a poker face and was very serious, was barely able to keep her composure upon hearing Yae Star's address.

Similarly, she almost lost it too.

Mom?

No, why are you calling her so intimately?

Anyone who didn't know better would think you had already married Yang Nai.

“I’m… fine.”

Madam Yukinoshita replied hesitantly, then sat down at the table.

“You specifically had Yang Nai call me here, it's not just for something as boring as catching up, is it?”

Chapter 157: The Conditions Offered by Madam Yukinoshita, and Yukino's Cohabitation Life

“Of course not.”

Yae Star replied with a smile, then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino.

“Do you want to leave? You can come back in after we're done talking.”

Being in the same room as her mother clearly made Yukinoshita Yukino much more nervous, but she shook her head, her eyes firm.

“If it's about me, then as the person involved, I naturally have to stay here.”

“Alright.”

Yae Star nodded slightly, then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was standing at the door, somewhat at a loss, and pointed to the empty seat beside the table.

“Shizuka, close the door and sit down.”

Yae Star's tone wasn't like a student to a teacher, but rather like a master giving an order.

This made Hiratsuka Shizuka feel secretly pleased again.

She closed the door to the activity room and sat down at the table.

Madam Yukinoshita clearly learned from the previous experience and chose to speak first, trying to seize the initiative in this conversation.

“If I'm not mistaken, you called me here to discuss which school Yukino should attend?”

Unexpectedly, facing Madam Yukinoshita's piercing gaze and the noble pressure emanating from her, Yae Star still maintained a relaxed demeanor and shook his head.

“Discuss?”

Yae Star smiled, looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, and asked a question that was somewhat unexpected.

“Yukinoshita-san, do you want to go to Private Shuchiin Academy?”

Faced with this question, Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously glanced at her mother, whose expression was very serious, and a look of hesitation and entanglement appeared in her eyes.

But when her gaze returned to Yae Star, she didn't know why, but a surge of courage welled up in her heart, and she bit her silver teeth, her expression gradually becoming firm.

“I… I don't want to go there.”

“That's enough.”

Yae Star nodded, the smile on his face disappeared, and he stared directly into Madam Yukinoshita's eyes, slowly saying,

“Then, this isn't a discussion, but a notification.”

“Yukinoshita Yukino will stay at Soubu High.”

Hearing his forceful words, both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Yukino were somewhat shocked.

Madam Yukinoshita was the president of a construction company, a veritable member of the upper class.

Yae Star actually dared to speak to her in this tone?

But on second thought…

What kind of person was Yae Star?

He was someone who, within the home field of Private Shuchiin Academy, alone provoked the entire first-year faculty and students of Shuchiin, and with his own strength, suppressed their momentum, a madman so arrogant that he could be called unbridled.

No matter how powerful Madam Yukinoshita was, could she compare to the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Conglomerate, Shinomiya Kaguya?

Impossible.

“Notify me?”

Hearing this, Madam Yukinoshita couldn't help but reveal a sneer, but she didn't say anything aggressive, only saying indifferently,

“I already indulged Yang Nai once; I won't make the same mistake a second time with Yukino.”

“Do you really think that Soubu High is a better choice than Private Shuchiin Academy?”

Faced with Madam Yukinoshita's question, Yae Star asked back as if it were only natural,

“Isn't it?”

“Hmm?”

If Madam Yukinoshita thought Yae Star was talking nonsense at first, now seeing his appearance, she was instead a little curious and couldn't help but ask again,

“Then tell me, for Yukino, where is Soubu High better than Shuchiin?”

“First of all, the first point.”

Yae Star looked at Yukino, who was sitting to the side.

“Yukinoshita-san's personal desire is to stay at Soubu High.”

Seeing that Madam Yukinoshita seemed to want to say something, before she could open her mouth, Yae Star immediately added,

“Of course, for a parent like you, who has excessive control and lacks the ability to communicate with your children, this point isn't important; you won't care about Yukino's personal feelings like I do, and you will only arrange the path that you think is correct.”

Hearing these words, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes flickered, and a hint of blush appeared on her pretty face, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

Yae Star actually called her by her first name in front of her mother?

And…

He even said such a devastatingly powerful sentence that he cared about her feelings?

A sneak attack…

It was too despicable…

After unleashing a straight-ball attack, Yae Star didn't pause for a moment and continued.

“Since that's the case, I'll tell you in a way that you can understand why Yukino should stay at Soubu High.”

“Just a mention, I was the first place in the joint exam for first-year students held by Soubu High and Shuchiin.”

“Nothing else, just to tell you…”

Yae Star revealed a smile.

“In terms of academics, I'm stronger than all the first-year students at Shuchiin, so since Yukino can stay by the side of the strongest, why should she settle for second best and associate with that group of losers at Shuchiin?”

Hearing these words, Madam Yukinoshita frowned slightly, but she couldn't refute them.

On the day the joint exam ended, she learned the results of the exam through acquaintances.

Yae Star was indeed the first place.

You should know that this year's first-year students at Shuchiin were much stronger than in previous years.

Not only was there Shirogane Miyuki, who came from a common background but was able to rely on his excellent academic performance to be specially admitted into Shuchiin.

There was also the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Conglomerate, Shinomiya Kaguya, a flawless genius in every aspect.

The gold content of this first place was really too high.

Unknowingly, Madam Yukinoshita's desire to control the initiative of this negotiation silently shattered.

Yae Star didn't give her a moment to breathe and continued to launch a verbal offensive.

“Of course, besides that, there's another reason.”

Yae Star slowly said.
