Chapter 35

"I'm sleepy, let's go back to the classroom to rest."

"Mm-hmm."

Akita Sana didn't say anything more at this time and honestly followed Kondo Miki away. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====

First-year Class A.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun returned here before the end of the lunch break.

However, just as he returned.

The noisy class suddenly quieted down.

There was no telling how many people's gazes were focused on him.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't care and sat straight in his seat.

As soon as he sat down, students immediately surrounded him, asking this and that.

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, did you really reject Senior Tsukishima?"

"That's really amazing; that's Senior Tsukishima, you know."

"Why did you reject her?"

"I heard Senior Tsukishima cried very sadly at the time; what exactly did you say?"

Regarding these, Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't explain anything and just waved his hand to dismiss them.

Ding-a-ling—

The class bell rang crisply, breaking the noise of the classroom.

Seeing that Xia Xia Xia Mujun had no intention of revealing more, the onlookers had to return to their seats with unsatisfied curiosity.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Saionji Nanase’s lively eyes; she had been looking forward to hearing the reason for the rejection from Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

Yukimura Suzune still lowered her eyes, looking at the literary novel in her hand, but the time spent on this page seemed exceptionally long; it wasn't until this moment that the page was gently turned.

Before the subject teacher arrived, the atmosphere in the classroom was loose, and students were still whispering and chatting.

Soon, the bald math teacher walked in with his lesson plan.

The class became quiet instantly.

The student on duty immediately stood up and shouted in a loud voice:

"Stand up!"

"Salute!"

"Sit down!"

The whole class completed a set of procedures in unison following the command.

The math teacher nodded slightly and began today's lesson.

Regarding the subject of mathematics, Xia Xia Xia Mujun, who had returned to the first-year classroom, appeared to have more than enough ability, because mathematics was a subject he was good at before.

However, he was also reviewing the old to learn the new, and had already reviewed content quite far ahead.

Plus, having finally obtained the long-awaited attribute point today, his mind was no longer in the classroom.

He closed his eyes slightly and sank his consciousness into the panel in his mind.

【Character: Qianjing】

【Age: 16】

【Strength: 4】 (Average attribute for a normal adult is 5)

【Agility: 4】

【Spirit: 5】

【Constitution: 5】

【Charm: 9】

【Equipment: 'Boy's Sorrowful Diary', 'Chess Manual Sealed for Many Years', 'Favorite Button'】

【Available Attribute Points: 1】

【Distance to next attribute point reward: 3 more pieces of equipment needed!】

An irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

He had waited too long for this attribute point.

However, how to allocate this precious point became a problem that needed to be weighed.

For Xia Xia Xia Mujun, he didn't intend to rely on his face to eat, and having too high a charm value didn't have much meaning, so he wasn't prepared to spend the attribute point on it.

In this way, only the four items of strength, agility, spirit, and constitution remained for selection.

He thought for a moment and believed that strength and agility could also be shelved for the time being.

In a modern civilized society, extraordinary strength and speed have limited meaning unless in specific fields.

His ambitions didn't lie there, so naturally, there was no need to prioritize them.

Then, the final choice fell between spirit and constitution.

Would increasing spirit bring a leap in thinking ability?

And would strengthening constitution likely mean better health and endurance?

Or would the improvement of these two attributes bring some unexpected hidden effects?

Xia Xia Xia Mujun couldn't be sure and could only try adding the point to know the situation.

But between the two, the spirit attribute was undoubtedly the more attractive choice at present.

Strength, agility, and even constitution could be improved through hard training later.

Only the "spirit" attribute could not be improved through training.

Moreover, the higher the 'spirit' attribute, the more it would surely have a great effect on learning and playing shogi.

You have to know he was participating in a competition tomorrow; even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit, so he should make himself stronger bit by bit!

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore.

With a slight movement of his mind, that one precious attribute point was added to spirit.

【Available Attribute Points: 1 → 0】

【Spirit: 5 → 6】

The moment the attribute point was added—

"Buzz!"

An indescribable sharp pain suddenly exploded deep in his mind!

It was as if countless red-hot steel needles were crazily stirring and piercing in his brain marrow, undergoing some kind of reshaping and transformation that transcended common sense.

When a person is in pain, they cannot make a sound.

This pain was far beyond the physiological limit, and in an instant, it deprived Xia Xia Xia Mujun of the right to make a sound.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun couldn't even persist for a second; his vision suddenly went black, and he completely lost consciousness, collapsing heavily onto his desk.

Beads of cold sweat began to seep uncontrollably from every pore of his body, quickly soaking his hair on his forehead and his thin school uniform.

Clearly, on the way to passing out, he was still experiencing an indescribable spiritual reshaping.

Saionji Nanase, who was to the side, heard the dull thud and turned her head in confusion, discovering that Xia Xia Xia Mujun had actually collapsed and "fallen asleep."

"Is he too tired at noon today..."

Saionji Nanase felt that sleeping in class was actually not very good, but hindered by Xia Xia Xia Mujun's past situation, it was really hard to say anything.

Because Xia Xia Xia Mujun had often slept in class since junior high school.

He wouldn't change even if the teacher told him.

Later, the teachers just turned a blind eye and let him be.

Thinking of this, she felt it was better not to be a busybody.

But when she recalled the 'dream of getting into Tokyo University' that Xia Xia Xia Mujun had mentioned before, she couldn't help but feel a pity in her heart...

The math teacher on the podium naturally noticed this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Although he wasn't the head teacher, he had heard of this student who had triggered discussions in the teacher circle due to his looks and today's confession event.

As long as it didn't affect the class, he naturally turned a blind eye to the problem of such students sleeping in class after seeing it so many times.

And this Xia Xia Xia Mujun was said to have not liked reading or attending class in school before, often sleeping in class.

Now that he collapsed on the second day of school, it was already giving him face.
