"Value?"
Yui Yuigahama tilted her head, her eyes showing confusion.
"It's just a seat... isn't it?"
"You still don't understand."
Kano Yoruhoshi shook his head, looking very serious, his tone as if he was proclaiming common sense that everyone in this World should know, and slowly began to speak,
"Listen up, this seat, in the back row by the window, is the King's homeland, commonly known as the King's Throne."
"Eh?"
Yui Yuigahama was stunned for a moment and asked curiously,
"Then, if I sit in this seat, are there any special benefits?"
"Of course there are benefits."
Kano Yoruhoshi was like a patient Teacher explaining a difficult problem to a student.
"First, the left side of this seat is a wall, and there's only one aisle on the right, so when you're sleeping, your entire body can lean freely to the left, directly against the wall, without worrying about being bumped by passing students."
"Secondly, this is the most secluded corner of the classroom. From a probability perspective, the foot traffic here is the smallest, and it's also the quietest."
"And finally, choosing this seat indicates an attitude of 'do not approach strangers,' maximizing the avoidance of active conversation from other classmates. For a solitary person who doesn't want to socialize, calling it a throne is no exaggeration at all."
After hearing these words, Yui Yuigahama nodded as if in sudden realization.
"So that's how it is, I was shallow."
Not far away, Yotsuya Miko sighed helplessly, thinking, 'Is this cute girl dressed like a hot girl a bit slow-witted?'
It was one thing for Kano Yoruhoshi to talk nonsense.
But you actually believed him?
What King's Throne, it was clearly a crooked scheme Kano Yoruhoshi came up with for sleeping in Class.
"Hmph."
Seeing the students in the classroom looking towards her corner, the girl with long black hair snorted, her gaze like a sharp knife piercing Kano Yoruhoshi's face.
Kano Yoruhoshi still maintained his smile, even pressing his hand on his bag downwards, showing no intention of backing down.
"Hmph."
The girl snorted again, then sat down in the adjacent seat, placed her bag on the hook next to the desk, and then, ignoring everyone's gaze, directly lay down on the desk and began to sleep.
On the first day of school, before classes even began, such an incident naturally sparked discussion among the surrounding students.
"That girl is really strange."
"No, no, if you really think about it, isn't that guy even stranger?"
"They both look pretty good-looking though..."
"Problem students? Delinquents? Better to avoid these two."
...
A girl who had just been talking to Yui Yuigahama quickly walked over, stretched out her hand to pull Yui Yuigahama's sleeve, looked at Kano Yoruhoshi, who was sitting contentedly on the King's Throne, her eyes showing a hint of vigilance, and whispered,
"Yui Yuigahama, don't associate with such strange people, or you'll also be considered strange. Let's go quickly."
Feeling the gazes of the surrounding classmates and the strange atmosphere, Yui Yuigahama pursed her lips, gave Kano Yoruhoshi a slightly apologetic look, and finally, without a word, followed the girl back to her own seat.
"Ugh, I'm so sleepy."
Kano Yoruhoshi himself didn't care about the surrounding stares and whispers at all, and he made the exact same move as the girl at the same desk.
That was, to lie down and sleep.
"What a strange person."
Although Yotsuya Miko thought this, she decided to find Kano Yoruhoshi and ask him about it when it was convenient.
How did he manage to eliminate Evil Spirits as a human?
If she could also possess this ability, she wouldn't have to live a life of constant fear anymore.
A few minutes later.
Hiratsuka Shizuka yawned, rubbed her eyes, and walked into the classroom looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
The students who had just been whispering immediately quieted down.
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something when her gaze caught the two students sleeping soundly in the back row of the classroom, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Most of the students noticed her expression and felt a bit of schadenfreude.
On the first day of school, daring to openly sleep during class.
Wouldn't they be singled out and harshly criticized?
To their surprise, Hiratsuka Shizuka merely glanced around the classroom, then acted as if she hadn't seen anything, turning around to write her name on the blackboard.
"My name is Hiratsuka Shizuka. I am responsible for teaching Japanese language, and starting today, I will be your homeroom teacher and life guidance counselor."
Seeing that she had no intention of criticizing the two, the students exchanged glances, feeling very puzzled.
"Next, please introduce yourselves one by one."
Nothing particularly special happened during this process.
After the other students had finished introducing themselves, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the two still sleeping in the back row, raised her hand, and tapped on the blackboard.
"You two students in the back, please get up and introduce yourselves."
Seeing that the two remained motionless, Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed helplessly, walked directly to the desk of the beautiful girl with long black hair, and gently reminded her.
"Student, please get up and introduce yourself."
The girl raised her head, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka standing in front of her. Without any panic from being caught sleeping by a teacher, she simply stood up and said calmly.
"Toma Kazusa."
The girl's voice was very pleasant, but it carried a coldness that kept people at a distance, and an impatience from having her sweet dreams interrupted.
After introducing her name, Toma Kazusa sat down on her own accord and continued to lie on her desk to sleep.
When the students saw this scene, they all had only one evaluation in their hearts.
Arrogant.
Truly utterly arrogant.
Daring to be so arrogant in front of the teacher.
Could it be that she was a young lady from a noble family?
Hiratsuka Shizuka also felt helpless in the face of Toma Kazusa's attitude, but she couldn't say anything.
Before the school started, the school administration had specifically informed her.
The student Toma Kazusa was a special case; as long as she arrived in the classroom on time every day, other matters didn't need to be managed, and she could simply take a blind eye.
Hiratsuka Shizuka strongly opposed this teaching method.
However, this was a unanimous decision by the school's senior management, and she couldn't change it.
Looking at Kano Yoruhoshi, who was still lying on the desk in a childlike sleep, Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, directly skipping the process of waking him up.
"This male student is Kano Yoruhoshi. Alright, everyone has introduced themselves, let's start class."
...
Soon, the morning classes quietly passed.
It wasn't until the lunch break bell rang that Kano Yoruhoshi woke up from his sleep.
As soon as he got up, he happened to see a male student from another class, who was quite good-looking but had a somewhat frivolous demeanor, blocking Toma Kazusa, who wanted to leave the classroom. He showed what he thought was a charming smile and struck up a conversation.
"Student, can I be friends with you?"
Yotsuya Miko, who had just arrived beside Kano Yoruhoshi, noticed that he was looking at the scene outside the classroom with a schadenfreude smile and murmured softly.
"Now there's a good show to watch."
Immediately after, Yotsuya Miko saw a sharp glint in Toma Kazusa's slender and delicate beautiful eyes. She parted her lips and said coldly.
"Get out of the way, don't block the path."
