Chapter 003: Addiction to Interacting with People
As Amano arrived relatively early, there were only a few scattered students in Class D at this moment.
Upon entering the classroom, all eyes turned in his direction.
Each desk had a nameplate.
Amano quickly found his seat after a brief glance.
To the left, the nameplate read Miyake Akito, and to the right, it was Okitani Kyōsuke. Behind him was the name of one of the heroines, Horikita Suzune.
‘Lucky me.’ Amano thought, while right behind him was the protagonist, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who hadn’t arrived yet.
Only one girl was sitting in front.
Her shoulder-length, silky, chestnut hair framed her well-proportioned figure. With a subtle mature charm, her gentle appearance leaned towards maturity.
As if sensing Amano’s gaze, the girl slightly turned her body, revealing her desk’s name plate—Matsushita Chiaki.
Amano sneered disdainfully.
When faced with a new environment, people inevitably feel a bit uneasy, desiring to quickly establish relationships with those around them to cope with the unfamiliar surroundings.
Outgoing individuals hesitate for a moment before taking the initiative, while introverted ones often feel awkward, ending up at the bottom of the class or eventually being isolated.
Matsushita’s small movements naturally didn’t escape Amano’s notice.
It was like her face was saying, “Come on, strike up a conversation with me!”
Amano smiled cheerfully and said, “Matsushita Chiaki, what a beautiful name!”
Matsushita immediately turned around, looked at the desk’s nameplate, and smiled. “Yoruyuki Amano? Your name sounds very artistic too. By the way, is Yoruyuki a family name from Kyoto?”
“Yes! By the way, it’s so fortunate to be in the same class with such a beautiful girl like you. Matsushita, why did you choose this school?”
Amano responded with a smile, and the two quickly began to chat.
He knew Matsushita Chiake very well, and the conversation made Matsushita feel very comfortable.
This girl, with an excellent family background, outstanding academic performance, and physical fitness, deliberately suppressed her abilities to avoid being relied upon by others. She could be considered a low-grade version of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
She wanted to move up to Class A.
At the same time, she didn’t want to put in too much effort and would quickly give up if there was no hope.
At the same time.
She liked to guide conversations, induce topics, and keep everything in her control, giving her a feeling of being in control of the situation.
In short, she had a strong craving for interacting with people.
Of course, Amano also agreed with some of Matsushita Chiake’s thoughts.
He also hoped to move up to Class A without exerting too much effort, focusing most of his energy on discovering talents and making them join him as his subordinate.
Therefore, he set his own positioning as having a straightforward personality, first-rate academic and physical abilities, without attracting too much attention.
Why should the boss get his hands dirty?
Companies that are for sale are prey to capital.
The hidden hand in the shadows is the ultimate winner.
This is the Yoruyuki family motto.
Amano also wholeheartedly agreed with it.
Like the big horse in the previous life, when the time comes, it must be cut, and the true winner is the one who sits firmly in the fishing pavilion, enjoying the oil-filled mouth.
What ordinary people see is all an illusion created by others!
The conversation between the two continued.
Matsushita Chiake was very curious about the handsome guy in front of her who could engage in any topic, often showing a delighted smile. She also learned a lot of knowledge from Amano.
Gradually, more students arrived in Classroom D.
Facing Matsushita Chiake’s occasional light laughter, as if this was her territory, some students seemed even more uneasy.
Taking advantage of her home ground advantage, she began to attract some like-minded girls to form her own small circle.
Amano, similarly, pulled in some guys to join the conversation and chatted with everyone.
Every class division was akin to a battle, determining one’s position in the class for the future.
This was especially true in this prestigious school.
Therefore, maintaining a certain level of social interaction was necessary.
Amano didn’t believe that he was necessarily the strongest existence in this world.
He believed there might be someone more formidable in a specific field. However, in terms of overall strength, he was confident he surpassed Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
While everyone was happily getting to know new friends, two students walked in.
A beautiful girl observed for a moment, walked behind Amano, gently smoothed her skirt, and quietly sat down, taking out a copy of “Crime and Punishment” without any intention of building relationships with others.
She gave off an aloof, unapproachable impression.
It was Horikita Suzune.
With black, smooth, waist-length hair, she wore a bow ribbon on the left side of her head, leaving a long, twisted braid.
Another student, with emotionless fish-like eyes, walked to a corner of the classroom and sat down – Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Horikita Suzune flipped through a book and casually said, “It’s such an annoying coincidence.”
“Don’t say that. It means we have some fate, doesn’t it?” Ayanokoji’s voice remained flat.
Hearing the two of them having a conversation, Amano also turned his body around to them and took a look at the two.
