Chapter 055: It's Over
Lin Ye's eyes reflected the appearance and figure of the girl.
The girl's face was delicate, almost impossibly cute, with black long hair cascading over her shoulders, swaying with each step. Her skin was fair and translucent, and the black uniform paired with a pleated skirt showcased her youthful, fresh style perfectly.
Her demeanor, as her name suggested, was cold as snow, like a snowflake blooming on an icy mountain.
"Hello!"
Finally, he had seen her.
Crossing the dimensional gap, Lin Ye silently greeted the two-dimensional heroine in his heart.
The girl noticed the change in the atmosphere of the classroom. Ignoring all the focused gazes, she walked lightly across the front of the room and made her way to her seat the second-to-last one in the row by the window.
Her seat was positioned slightly to Lin Ye's left and front.
The desk behind hers was unoccupied.
Lin Ye was curious.
Generally speaking, the seating order was related to height, but why was Yukinoshita Yukino seated at the back of the window-side row?
But then, recalling that the girl was isolated by her classmates, it didn't seem too strange for her to sit there.
After placing her book down, Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Lin Ye, a reminder that he had yet to take his eyes off her.
But she felt that something in the gaze of this transfer student was slightly different.
Once seated,
She let go of her thoughts and didn't dwell on it.
No matter how Lin Ye had changed, as long as it didn't affect her, she wasn't concerned.
"Everyone, get ready, class is about to begin."
A middle-aged man with glasses entered the classroom holding a few books and walked to the front of the class.
Soon, the bell rang, and the lesson officially started.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar math formulas, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.
This was high school life!
He was really in high school.
The feeling of nostalgia lingered for a few minutes, before Lin Ye shifted his focus to the "Anomalous Game."
He began analyzing and thinking carefully.
Based on the fact that the government had dispatched a specialized department last night, the "Anomalous Game" had been around for quite a while, and there must be high-level players involved.
There should also be dedicated online forums discussing it.
He should gather relevant information about these aspects.
But regardless of everything, keeping his identity secret was crucial.
Kuroda Hikari had already lost the memory of the "Love Hotel," and the only people who knew about his situation now were Hoshino Ai and Hina Tachibana.
Both had promised to keep it a secret.
Lin Ye trusted both of them, but it would be even better if there were tools to help maintain this secrecy.
"The 'Anomalous Game' should have such tools for confidentiality, right?"
He couldn't help but think.
Thump, thump, thump...
Suddenly,
Lin Ye looked up to see the middle-aged math teacher standing next to him.
"Lin, can you answer this question?"
Lin Ye froze, immediately reminded of many scenes from various works.
"Didn't expect this to happen to me!"
He muttered.
"Sorry, teacher, I don't know the answer."
He refused directly, without hesitation.
This left the middle-aged math teacher taken aback.
He had seen students who struggled in silence or remained quiet, but Lin Ye was the first one to bluntly say he didn't know.
"Pay attention in class. This formula and the knowledge point aren't hard."
The math teacher didn't get angry and returned to the front of the class to resume the lesson.
This time, Lin Ye listened attentively, cooperating and showing respect to the teacher.
This made the middle-aged math teacher quite satisfied.
The second class was Hiratsuka Shizune's Japanese class.
As for this class,
Lin Ye truly had no interest in it. He just laid back.
This made Hiratsuka Shizune grind her teeth in frustration, but she didn't explode or single him out.
Time passed, and soon it was time for the break.
"Lin, come to my office after school."
Before leaving, Hiratsuka Shizune gave a heavy hum, her gaze implying "don't even think about running away." She only felt at ease after seeing the look in Lin Ye's eyes that indicated he would definitely come.
After the third class, lunch break began.
Soon, most of the students left the classroom, leaving only Lin Ye and the cold girl, who remained seated, not in any rush to leave.
Lin Ye had just gotten up when he heard rapid footsteps outside the classroom.
"Hina-sensei."
He saw the beautiful female teacher with chestnut-colored long hair standing at the door. She seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, with her chest slightly rising and falling as she caught her breath.
"Good, good, I'm glad you're still here,"
Hina Tachibana is breath was a bit ragged, clearly from rushing.
"Teacher, is something wrong?"
Could it be... lunch?
Lin Ye noticed the item Hina Tachibana was holding.
He felt a bit exaggerated, surprised, and somewhat pleased.
"Lunch. I've prepared lunch for you. It should taste better than the school cafeteria."
Although Sōbu High had a cafeteria, the food was average, and the prices weren't cheap. This led many students to bring their own bento from home.
"Teacher... you didn't make this, did you?"
Lin Ye suddenly hesitated as a thought crossed his mind. If he remembered correctly, Hina Tachibana is cooking skills were close to being at a "dark" level, whereas her sister, Rui Tachibana, was a great cook.
If he ate this, he'd probably end up with food poisoning and in the hospital!
"What kind of look is that? You know very well that after I said goodbye to you this morning, I went straight back to my apartment. I didn't have time to make lunch. I bought this on the way to school. It should taste better than the cafeteria, but next time, you should prepare your own," she said.
When she bought lunch at the convenience store, she remembered that Lin Ye, who had amnesia, probably hadn't prepared any bento for himself, so she picked up one for him too.
"I see, thank you, teacher. I won't be polite then."
Lin Ye quickly walked toward Hina Tachibana, but due to their change in position, Hina Tachibana suddenly noticed the cold girl sitting behind Lin Ye.
This classroom... there are other students?
In an instant,
Hina Tachibana felt a wave of embarrassment rise within her, and her body slightly trembled.
Everything she had just said... had been overheard.
It's over!
