"But didn't the Elysian-Saranese war ended like a hundred years ago?"
"Yeah it did, but some people still haven't forgiven them yet"
"Well I said some but it's actually most people"
"What about you?"
"Do you feel the same way about the Yoshidas?"
"No, I don't hate or fear her or her family, same with most of the staff in this school"
"To be honest I feel bad for them, being forced to deal with their ancestor's mess"
"So be nice to her ok, she has been through a lot"
"Especially when she is gonna be sitting next to you"
"What?"
"Really? Why?"
"Because kids in other classes kept bullying her or just avoiding her"
"Which gives teachers who don't like her a reason to mess with her too"
"That's stupid shouldn't they be scared of her?
"I'm pretty sure the Yoshida family has super strength"
"Even if they somehow don't know that, why aren't their parents stopping them?"
"And why does the teacher even harass her?"
"Like Jesus Christ, she can literally rip their fingers and limbs off, kids and adults"
"Why do you even do this?"
"Do you want kids or yourself to die???"
"I don't know maybe because she doesn't retaliate or react"
"It gives them a false sense of confidence and security"
"Even though no one can stop her if she goes on a rampage except for her family or the military"
"Then why isn't she getting homeschooled?"
"Her family members can handle her better considering that they all have super strength and it would have been less dangerous "
"I don't know why either"
"Maybe this is like patience training"
"After all the Yoshidas is an ancient noble warrior clan that is the descendants of Yoshida Nanba the legendary warrior who is said to have come from another world.
"That's stupid that could have been done at home"
"WELL I'm out of ideas then"
"Do you even know anything?"
"I don't want to hear that from you"
"even though you sat right next to her the entire time since you've been at this school and you just heard about this now?"
"Do you even pay any attention to your surroundings or in class?"
"Didn't you say it's fine for me not to know because I'm a foreigner?"
"Yeah, but I changed my mind"
"And this is why people don't like you and call you "Forever Lonely""
"But that's not true now because I finally have a girlfriend!"
Ito-sensei said with a smug expression on his face.
"True but you also got other titles like "Incompetent teacher""
"So you do want extra work huh?"
"No, No please I'm sorry"
"Good, now go talk to Yoshida-chan"
"She's here already?"
"I thought she would be late on purpose to avoid the bullying"
"That's what I would have done if I were in her position"
"Yeah you're right normally she's always late"
"Maybe something happened?"
"Also why do you even care about her?"
"No reason"
Ito-sensei then pushed me towards her at the back of the class.
"anyway go talk to her"
Geez is that even allowed? We're in a school for rich kids after all.
I walk to Yoshida and greet her. Wait a minute I couldn't just go and talk to her without a reason because I hadn't spoken to her once, since I came to this school.
Ummmm, what do I do ahhhh the plan to talk to her has already hit a roadblock. Think, what can I do? I need to think of a reason, a scenario to talk to her. I could use the old accidentally-dropped-something trick but would that work?
She's probably paranoid about people from all the bullying and rightfully so too. Oh God, I'm already halfway there, why didn't I stop to think first? Welp, it's too late now if I stop to think about it. She might notice it and suspect me of trying to play a mean prank on her or something.
If that happens I might not be able to befriend her and fail my first quest! Or maybe I watched too many shows and anime.
You know what I shouldn't think too hard about it and panic, let's just use the old accidentally-dropped-something trick.
I walked to my seat and sat there for a few minutes. Then I acted bored(which was easy with my [Genius Actor] perk).
I started drawing random things in my book, to fix my "boredom", then I "accidentally" dropped my eraser under her desk.
I moved to pick up my eraser and talk to her but before I could do that she picked up my eraser and reached out her hand to me and then she spoke.
"Er-erm h-hello is th-this yours?" she says while trembling.
"Yes, it is thanks for picking it up for me"
"T–T-Thank you"
"Thank you? Why are you saying thank you?"
"I should be the one thanking you"
"I'm sorry!"
I giggled
"Now why are you saying sorry?"
"I'm sor- I mean er-erm eeeehhhhhhh"
She's not what I expected, I expected her to be really unfriendly but this is better.
"My name is Edmund Cart- wait no it should be Carter Edmund right?"
"Because last names goes first in Saranese"
This is the end of the chapter
