ALL NOVEL Chapter 006: Self-Introduction
“Next up, it’s my turn.”
The self-introductions continued, and a golden-haired girl stood up.
Wearing a white headband, her upper body in a deep red uniform was tightly fitted, boasting a figure that didn’t match her age. Her white pleated skirt swayed as she stood up.
She flashed a brilliant smile and spoke in a gentle tone, “I’m Kushida Kikyou. Since none of my middle school friends entered this school with me, I’m here all alone.”
At this point, Yoruyuki Amano, with sharp senses, noticed Kushida glancing at Horikita.
Kushida Kikyou continued, “Therefore, my goal is to quickly become friends with everyone. Please make sure to exchange contact information with me after the self-introductions!”
By the time Kushida finished speaking, several girls had already gathered around her.
Yoruyuki Amano secretly observed, Kushida Kikyou’s acting skills were comparable to those of a movie star.
If one hadn’t read the original work, it would be hard to imagine that such an angelic beauty had a two-faced personality.
Relying on the trust of others, maintaining her satisfaction, and unhesitatingly causing anyone who could expose her past to drop out of school.
As for Kushida Kikyou stealing a glance at Horikita earlier, Yoruyuki Amano estimated that this little angel, currently laughing and joking with her classmates, was already contemplating how to make Horikita drop out.
“It’s my turn now. I’m Yamauchi Haruki, the ace pitcher of the baseball team in middle school. My jersey number was 4. Unfortunately, I got injured during the high school league, and now I’m on a break. Nice to meet you all.”
The introductions continued, and a guy named Yamauchi Haruki introduced himself.
Yoruyuki Amano was a bit speechless.
This guy probably wanted to say he was the ace batter in the cleanup position, and high school leagues naturally only existed in high schools.
Yoruyuki Amano still remembered.
In the original work, this person belonged to one of the three worst students, with poor academic performance, easily manipulated by the leader of Class A, and eventually betrayed Class D, leading to expulsion.
Even now, Yamauchi Haruki’s impression on everyone fell directly to the bottom of the class.
Half-baked lies would only give people the impression of being “talkative” and “flippant.”
Therefore, self-introduction was a crucial stage, as it determined the position in the group and class in the future.
Finally, after a long wait, it was Yoruyuki Amano’s turn to speak.
Yoruyuki Amano stood up, a confident smile playing on her lips. “I’m Yoruyuki Amano, quite good at photography. If anyone has photography needs, feel free to approach me. I look forward to working with you all in the future!”
“Does that mean we can leave the class’s photography work to you from now on, Yoruyuki-san?”
“Yes, and I’m also interested in photography. Can you teach me, Yoruyuki-san?”
Jokingly led by Matsushita Chiaki, a few girls gathered around Yoruyuki Amano.
This was the advantage of socializing. With Matsushita Chiaki leading, Amano smoothly integrated into the group, mainly because Amano was genuinely handsome.
At this moment, an untimely mocking laughter echoed.
“Yoruyuki Amano, put away that fake smile of yours. Your ugly soul is not beautiful at all.”
Koenji Rokusuke, who had just introduced himself, casually placed his legs on the table.
Unlike other students, Koenji was well aware of Yoruyuki Amano’s true nature – someone who sought only personal gain and would stop at nothing.
Moreover, the crucial point was the conflicting relationship between the two powerful families in Japan. The ties between the families seemed harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they stabbed each other in the back. He had been bullied by Yoruyuki Amano when he was younger.
The entire classroom suddenly quieted down, not fully grasping the unexpected conflict.
Although Koenji seemed a bit narcissistic, he clearly wasn’t someone who casually told lies.
Could it be that the seemingly cheerful Yoruyuki Amano was truly a deceitful person, as Koenji suggested?
Seeing the class fall into a state of mistrust, Hirata, with a cold sweat on his forehead, quickly intervened, “Koenji, if there’s any misunderstanding between you and Yoruyuki, let’s discuss it. We’re all classmates from now on, so let’s try to get along, okay?”
However, Koenji paid no attention to Hirata’s words.
Yoruyuki Amano maintained her smile, somewhat helpless. “Koenji, it’s better not to bring family conflicts to school. Regardless, we’ll be living together in the same class for three years. Even if we can’t get along, let’s try not to disturb each other, okay?”
Hearing Amano’s explanation, Matsushita and others suddenly realized.
Since it was due to family reasons, all actions seemed reasonable. On the contrary, Koenji appeared a bit ignorant of the bigger picture. Of course, with Koenji’s extremely narcissistic personality, he might not care about these things.
When Matsushita and others received what they considered a reasonable explanation, any refutation seemed feeble.
Even if Koenji directly revealed Yoruyuki Amano’s past here, it would only make him appear overbearing, and there might even be a possibility of false accusations.
Seemingly weak words actually left Koenji with no choice. No matter what he said now, he was in the wrong. Yoruyuki had already gathered a considerable number of companions around her.
Koenji was well aware of this.
“Don’t disturb each other? Yoruyuki Amano, your credibility is zero in my eyes.”
He sneered, and whether explaining or seeking approval from others seemed somewhat ugly. What’s not beautiful is ugly. Although he was aware of Yoruyuki Amano’s strength, he wasn’t afraid.
Having said that, Koenji didn’t choose to leave the classroom; instead, he continued looking at the reflection of his beautiful face in the mirror.
He wasn’t embarrassed, others were.
Amano didn’t continue speaking either. Disturbed by Koenji, the classroom fell silent again.
Matsushita slightly leaned forward, looking at Yoruyuki Amano from bottom to top, finding her somewhat cute.
She timely changed the topic, puzzled, “Koenji, are you the heir of the Koenji conglomerate? Could it be that Yoruyuki-san is also from a wealthy family? Maybe the heir of the Yoruyuki conglomerate? Just kidding~”
In the end, Matsushita Chiaki waved his hand downward, half-jokingly brushing off the topic. After all, the Yoruyuki family was too terrifying, and this conglomerate extended its reach into various industries in Japan. If Yoruyuki Amano was the heir to this family, it would be an incredibly perfect choice, meeting Matsushita Chiaki’s criteria for a spouse.
“Uh-huh.” Yoruyuki Amano awkwardly put her index finger to her lips. “Keep it a secret from the other classes, okay?”
This kind of thing couldn’t be kept a secret; it was just a social formality. Sharing secrets quickly brought him closer to these girls.
“Really?”
“The Yoruyuki conglomerate is amazing.”
The girls who were originally gathered around Yoruyuki Amano came even closer, almost sticking to him, looking at him as if he were prey.
The atmosphere in the entire class improved once again. Hirata instantly breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze to a boy with red hair.
“So, the next one—”
“Don’t joke around. Do you think we’re children? Those who want to introduce themselves can do it themselves.”
After saying that, the red-haired boy swung his school bag over his shoulder and left the classroom, taking away a group of people who didn’t want to introduce themselves.
Yoruyuki Amano remembered that this person should be called Sudo, a hot-tempered guy.
“Why is he like that?”
“No, it’s not his fault. It’s me who asked everyone to introduce themselves without permission.”
Facing the support of those around him, Hirata smiled indifferently, taking all the blame upon himself.
“How could that be? Hirata is not at fault for anything. Let’s not care about that guy; let’s continue, shall we?”
“Yeah, so—!”
At the request of his classmates, Hirata also focused on the next student.
Just as Hirata was about to speak, Yoruyuki Amano hesitated a bit and said, “Hirata, I have something personal to take care of. Can I leave now? Is it okay?”
“Of course, personal matters are also very important. If there’s anything you need help with, you can discuss it with everyone at any time. What do you all think?”
“Of course, if Yoruyuki-kun has any trouble, he can tell us anytime.”
Hirata responded with a smile, and the girls in the class agreed. Yoruyuki Amano nodded with a smile, turned around, and left the classroom.
However, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, Horikita Suzune, who should have left, was still in the classroom. Horikita tightly gripped the compass in her hand, and the pointed needle emitted a cold white light.
Watching Yoruyuki Amano’s back, Horikita followed him directly.
She had to poke him to feel relieved.
