Chapter 168

Classroom office.

Natsume Chikage and the other boys each held a box of materials and followed Sakai Shion's footsteps into here.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many teachers.

Several female teachers who usually couldn't reach Class 1-A couldn't help but look at Natsume Chikage carefully, and their faces showed amazement one after another.

"Put it here." Sakai Shion pointed to the corner and ordered.

Natsume Chikage and the others holding the materials placed the boxes in the designated positions one by one, and prepared to leave after completing the task.

However, just at this moment, Sakai Shion didn't care about the other boys who were leaving, but called Natsume Chikage alone:

"Natsume-kun, come to my desk for a second."

"I have something to ask you."

Natsume Chikage stopped:

"May I ask what it is?"

Sakai Shion didn't explain immediately, but led him to her desk.

When Natsume Chikage walked closer, he was surprised to find a stack of notebooks on Sakai Shion's desk, one of which was emitting a unique light.

【Top Student's High School Notebook】

【Quality: Blue】

【Effect: Your understanding of high school knowledge is improved by 50%!】

【Introduction: Is it that difficult?】

【Synthesis condition: Needs at least three special items of the same type!】

Seeing this special item, Natsume Chikage's eyes lit up instantly.

This was truly planting willows unintentionally.

He couldn't find it when he wanted to, but when he didn't want to find it, a "special item" popped up by itself.

Sakai Shion sat in her seat, her cold and beautiful face frowning slightly:

"I didn't have your class yesterday, and with my busy work, I haven't had time to find you."

"Since we met today, I should ask clearly what needs to be asked."

"The day before you asked for leave, did you fall asleep in math class?"

Natsume Chikage was silent for a moment, not expecting the teacher to find him for this.

But thinking about it, this kind of noble private school was quite strict in education, and being criticized was within expectations.

Although Natsume Chikage didn't subjectively want to sleep at that time, he fainted accidentally when adding attribute points for the first time, so he was mistaken for sleeping in class.

But now that he understood what would happen when adding points, he naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake in the future.

As for being criticized, it didn't matter at all to Natsume Chikage.

Let her say it, anyway, it was just sleeping in class, how serious could it be.

"Yes, I did fall asleep." Natsume Chikage admitted, following her words.

Sakai Shion glanced at him coldly: "Didn't you say you wanted to get into the University of Tokyo? Is this your attitude toward preparing for the University of Tokyo?"

"…" Natsume Chikage was helpless, but had nothing to say.

In his previous life, Natsume Chikage had also experienced high school, and knew that saying more would lead to more mistakes when he couldn't explain, so it was better to remain silent and show a good attitude of admitting mistakes, so he could get away as soon as possible.

As for talking back to the teacher, it was completely unnecessary—it was both laborious and thankless.

Sakai Shion taught earnestly:

"I don't care how you were in your previous school. Since you are my student now, I don't want you to sleep in class again."

"I hope you can study hard like other students and not waste your time in school. Can you do that?"

Natsume Chikage answered affirmatively:

"I can do it."

Sakai Shion's cold and beautiful face rarely showed an earnest expression:

"Every student has the possibility of getting into the University of Tokyo."

"Although your current grades are at the bottom among first-year students, the teacher doesn't want you to look down on yourself because of this."

"As long as you work hard, you also have the possibility of getting into a good university like other students."

"But if you don't work hard, you definitely won't get in!"

Natsume Chikage nodded:

"Completely understand."

Sakai Shion looked at him with a bit of helplessness, always feeling that this kid was obedient on the surface, but was perfunctory to her in his heart.

However, it was useless to say more now, so she would observe his performance later before making plans.

"Then let's leave this matter for now."

"However… I heard from the math teacher before that when you were called up to answer questions, you were swaying. Are you not feeling well?"

Natsume Chikage didn't have any illness, but it wasn't easy to explain this clearly, so he had to continue to explain, following her words:

"No, I was just sleepy, teacher, don't worry."

Sakai Shion had been watching Natsume Chikage's eyes, and although she vaguely felt something was wrong, she really couldn't see whether this boy was lying.

"It's good that you're fine."

"If you are not feeling well, you must tell the teacher immediately, don't hide it."

"You can go back now."

After Sakai Shion finished her teachings, she turned to look at the laptop, preparing to continue working.

However, at this moment, Natsume Chikage didn't intend to leave, but found an excuse:

"Teacher, what are these notebooks on your desk? They look dirty and have a lot of dust on them."

Sakai Shion glanced at him:

"They are notebooks left by previous graduates for other students. They have been piled up in the corner for a long time, and no one remembers them."

"It wasn't until the school cleaner organized the office a few days ago that they were found again."

"But why are you asking this?"

Natsume Chikage said seriously:

"After listening to the teacher's teachings just now, I deeply realized my mistakes."

"I really want to study hard."

"If these are the notes of seniors, can you give me one, teacher?"

"I want to imitate their learning thinking through the seniors' notes, so as to improve my grades!"

Sakai Shion raised her eyebrows, tilted her head and looked at Natsume Chikage, always feeling that this guy was a bit strange.

However, it was always a good thing to be enlightened and willing to work hard.

She picked up the top one and handed it to him:

"Take it."

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment, took the notebook and flipped through it, and laughed:

"The handwriting in this one is a bit unclear, can I pick one myself?"

Sakai Shion stared at the computer screen and said without looking back:

"Whatever you want."

Natsume Chikage was secretly happy in his heart, pretended to flip through a few, and finally pulled out the notebook emitting light from the middle.

"The handwriting in this one is very clear, teacher, I'll choose this one."

Sakai Shion was silent for a moment when she saw the blue notebook that Natsume Chikage was holding, which looked very familiar.

Just at this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

After listening for a while, she nodded:

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Sakai Shion took the notebook back into her hand and ordered:

"Let's keep this notebook here for now."

"The gymnasium needs a few boys to help."

"Since you are here, just go and help, and call the boys who are staying here too."

"Go help first, and come back to get it after you're done."

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment, not expecting another chore.
