"Good morning, viewers. Next, we bring you the weather forecast for Fresno City today. The hot air mass that entered our city a week ago has yet to move, causing the recent high temperatures to persist. From this morning until tonight, our city's temperature will…"
In the living room on the first floor, the TV was showing the dull weather forecast. At this moment, Frank was casually flipping through the newspaper, while Amanda was busy in the semi-open kitchen. It looked like a standard family morning scene.
"The newspaper agency is really a scam. They automatically subscribed us to another quarter without canceling our previous membership." Frank impatiently flipped through the newspaper for a while and patted the table, "Amanda, remember not to subscribe next time, okay?"
Hearing this, after putting the milk in the refrigerator, Amanda looked at Frank speechlessly, "Which bank card was it charged to?"
"Oh."
The meaning of Frank's response was very profound. He turned over the pages of the newspaper with a calm expression, covering up his embarrassing mood.
There was a noise on the stairs, and a certain Konoha's Jonin dragged his school bag strap, sluggishly coming downstairs.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to school..."
"Logan, it's still in the morning, perk up!"
"Mm, mm, okay, Mom..."
Grabbing a piece of bread, Logan, now a high school student again, reluctantly put on his shoes. It was strange. Every time he came back, he felt slightly uncomfortable when he thought about going to school at six o'clock.
Bang.
The door opened and closed quickly. Frank had already thrown the newspaper aside and picked up his phone, "Our son seems like he didn't sleep well."
Amanda turned her back and rolled her eyes, "Who knows? Watching cartoons every day instead of studying... Yesterday, while I was tidying up, I even found a strange piece of clothing. I'm sure he bought some silly thing online again."
"Oh, really…"
…
'Why is she going through my closet when she has nothing to do?' On the bus, watching the changing scenery outside the window, Logan weakly held his forehead, 'Fortunately, she didn't see anything...'
After crossing over back and forth, Logan had gradually adapted to it. When he changed out of his T-shirt and hung his cool Jonin vest in the closet, Amanda, being a very considerate mother, appeared and tidied up his room, and then...
Logan deeply realized how important it is to be good at Genjutsu. When his Konoha's Jonin uniform was discovered, Logan was scolded by Amanda. Amanda naturally just regarded the Jonin vest as some weird cosplay costume Logan bought online. Well, in fact, from a practical point of view, she wasn't wrong at all.
Fortunately, the truly dangerous ninja tools made of real steel were well hidden by Logan, otherwise, it would have been hard to explain them.
The bus stop announcements repeated as usual, with some people getting on and others getting off. Logan took out his phone and reread the contents of yesterday's manga update.
The bus clanged along the streets in the morning, and as it approached the school area, many students in uniforms got on it.
"Hey, have you read the manga I recommended to you?"
"No."
"What the heck! Why didn't you watch it? It has a Ninja theme. It's very exciting. The latest one has a fire-breathing fight..."
"Fire-breathing? How can a Ninja breathe fire? Is it some kind of magical girl transformation? Oh, now I'm interested."
"..."
Logan held onto the bus's overhead handrail, swaying along with a bunch of uniformed students according to the driver's whims. It was also a problem that his physical fitness was too good, as he couldn't help but overhear fragments of conversations. The feeling of listening to others discussing himself was hard to describe, especially when he was also 'a certain manga's character'.
'Well, it would be nice if they compliment me on my handsomeness...'
The bus continued circling the city. Logan got off with the crowd, and as he walked into the classroom, his eyes quickly locked onto David's figure in the back row.
Logan patted his face, recalled the other party's shameless behavior of escaping on the day of the fun sports event, and walked over with a smile.
"Yo, David..."
"Hero, if you have something to say, please tell me!" David reacted quickly and surrendered instantly when he saw Logan. It happened that Logan was just on time to reach the classroom, and the bell for morning reading rang before he could say anything else.
The two looked at each other for a while and finally reached a peaceful consensus. The sound of reading filled the room, occasionally interrupted by patrolling teachers passing by outside. The two people in the back row, who can be said to be veteran at this, were chatting calmly under the cover of their classmates' diligent reading.
"Fatty, did you really go for a blind date?" At this moment, Logan asked, focusing on the important matter (not the lesson).
"Hmph, how many times have I told you about this? You still don't believe me?" David looked very disappointed and heartbroken, and then said, "Besides, we call it a manga fan meetup, not a blind date. Saying it like that just lowers the coolness."
Logan squinted his eyes when he heard this, 'Why did he look so serious... Did he really think I had never met online friends before? Although we hadn't met in real life, through numerous social apps and video chats, and from countless forum posts, it was clear that many people were chatting in cute tones online, using phrases like 'chan' and 'beauty XX', weren't all beautiful, gentle, tall, and handsome?'
'Except for me, of course.'
