Chapter 13: You just want my body, you are a slut!

___

Chabashira Sae's long, smooth black hair was tied up in a neat high ponytail, a style that was simple yet dignified. Her delicate face, filled with indifference, made her appear unapproachable, like a cold, arrogant snowflake.

Despite her cold demeanor, Chabashira Sae's outfit was surprisingly bold.

A white undershirt paired with a tailored women's business suit accentuated her graceful, upright figure, while the shiny black stockings wrapped around her slender legs were particularly eye-catching.

Rin Matsuoka, who was quietly observing Chabashira Sae, couldn't help but feel that this homeroom teacher bore a striking resemblance to Horikita Suzune.

Then Rin's gaze shifted to Chabashira Sae's suit, noticing her slightly open collar.

*Wow, so pale!*

*And so deep!*

*Unfathomable!*

"I take back what I just thought," Rin muttered to himself, "They might have similar temperaments, but they are not alike at all." He acknowledged his mistake seriously.

Facing the curious stares from all the students in Class D, Chabashira Sae's expression remained cool and collected. She spoke slowly, "Dear freshmens, I am your homeroom instructor, Chabashira Sae. I am also responsible for teaching Japanese history."

"This school does not permit changes in homeroom teachers. Therefore, I will be your homeroom teacher for the entire three years until you graduate. I look forward to working with you."

"Please take care of us, Ms. Chabashira!" some students responded sporadically.

Chabashira Sae ignored the few voices of response and continued to silently survey the students in the class. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Horikita Suzune and Rin Matsuoka.

The reason for her attention was their test scores.

One score was exceptionally high.

The other was shockingly low.

*This boy's score is unbelievably low!*

Chabashira Sae stared at Rin for a few moments before retracting her gaze. She said coldly, "Everyone seems to be here. That's good. The entrance ceremony is about to begin. You'll need to follow me to the gymnasium."

"After the entrance ceremony, you must return immediately to this classroom. I will be distributing special cell phones and student ID cards, which are essential for this school."

"If you want to make purchases anywhere within the campus, you must use your phone or your student ID card."

"So, for your own benefit, don't wander off after the ceremony."

Chabashira Sae finished speaking. Without any intention of lingering, she said, "Let's go to the gymnasium," and strode out of the classroom, her shiny black stockings catching the light with each step.

The students in Class D quickly stood up and followed Chabashira Sae out.

With her usual cold expression, Horikita Suzune rose from her seat, briefly glaring at Rin Matsuoka before joining the group leaving the classroom.

Rin watched Horikita's slender back with a puzzled expression. "Why is she glaring at me? Is she still upset about me giving up her seat on the bus?"

"Tch, such a stingy ice queen," he muttered under his breath.

Rin then turned around to look at Sakura Airi, who was seated behind him.

"Sakura-san, shall we go together?"

"No, no, no, this is too much for me. I can't do it," Sakura Airi replied, waving her hands frantically in panic.

Rin watched her, still baffled.

"What's so exciting?" Rin Matsuoka thought, confused. "Please, explain yourself more clearly! It sounds like I'm doing something terrible to you!"

Though Sakura Airi had been having a pleasant conversation with Rin, her shyness was still evident. She knew that Rin was handsome and eye-catching, and if she walked with him, she would definitely draw attention. Sakura Airi was not only afraid of interacting with people, but she also dreaded their stares and hated being in crowded places.

Seeing how flustered she was, Rin decided not to push her further and stood up from his seat. "Alright, I'll get going then."

"Um..." Sakura replied softly.

After Rin left, Sakura let out a small sigh of relief. She stayed behind until the last moment, then quietly followed the rest of Class D, keeping her head down.

Just ahead of Rin, Ike Kanji and Haruki Yamauchi were engaged in a conversation about their aloof homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae.

"Hey, Yamauchi, our homeroom teacher seems so distant. I think she'll be tough to get along with," Ike Kanji remarked.

"Coolness is good! I like it when people are cool!" replied Haruki Yamauchi, sounding oddly excited.

"Like hell you do! Don't think I don't know your type. You're just hoping for a shot with her, you pervert!" Ike teased.

Rin raised an eyebrow and cut in, "Aren't you both just drooling over her too?"

Yamauchi and Ike turned their heads, surprised by Rin's interjection. Ike, trying to keep his composure, said stubbornly, "I'm not some cheap person, okay? Of course I'm not drooling."

"Then you must be a eunuch," Rin shot back.

"..."

To be honest, Chabashira Sae's striking figure was captivating enough to catch the eye of even someone like Rin, who had experience with many girls. Maybe it was because the girls he'd known before were all young and inexperienced; he found it hard to resist the allure of a mature older woman.

Behind him, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked serious, contemplating. *I really have no interest in our teacher's body… Could it be that I'm the odd one here?*

Led by Chabashira Sae, the students of Class D arrived at the gymnasium for the entrance ceremony and were arranged in two lines—boys and girls.

As luck would have it, Rin found himself standing next to Horikita Suzune.

"Of all the people," Horikita muttered coldly, "I had to end up next to you."

"Feeling's mutual," Rin shot back.

"Hmph," Horikita Suzune huffed.

"Hmph," Rin mimicked, twice as loud.

Suzune, unwilling to be outdone, prepared to hum three times but suddenly stopped, remembering something.

Rin glanced at her, intrigued. "What, no more humming?"

"Because some liar once told me that only pigs grunt three times in a row," she replied.

"...Hey, you still remember that?" Rin asked, a bit surprised.

"You said it to me three years ago," she answered softly. "I'll remember it for the rest of my life."

"Petty."

"Big liar!" Horikita snapped back.

Rin blinked, taken aback. A liar? What had he lied about?

While Rin stood there, bewildered, Horikita absentmindedly twirled her soft black hair around her fingers, thinking about the time she and her brother had spent with this "liar" three years ago. A small smile crept onto her face. Those days had been so much simpler.

"Hey, Horikita, what's got you smiling? That's a rare sight," Rin teased.

Instantly, Horikita's smile vanished. She returned to her cold demeanor and stomped hard toward Rin's foot. But Rin, having anticipated this, swiftly stepped to the side, dodging her attack.

Horikita, missing her target, shot him an annoyed glare and decided to stop entertaining this "awful liar."

About thirty seconds later, the other freshmen from Class A, Class B, and Class C began to arrive at the gymnasium.
