"Hehe, they are five beautiful girls, and they are quintuplet sisters." After saying that, Yui Yuigahama glanced at Mochizuki subtly. She wanted to see if she had piqued Mochizuki's interest. However, she was disappointed. Mochizuki looked completely unfazed.
"Were you startled!"
"Yes, it is indeed surprising." Yukinoshita spoke up.
That there were quintuplet sisters made her a little curious, and she hadn't heard about this today.
"What about you, Xiao Wang?"
"Me? What about me?"
"Hmm... aren't you interested at all? I thought you boys would be very interested in topics about beautiful girls."
"I'm different from them."
"Hmph, I don't believe you!" Yui Yuigahama puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but soon, she spoke happily again.
"One of them is in our class, her name is Miku Nakano, she's really super pretty, although she seems a bit difficult to get along with."
"I really want to get to know her!"
"What about your class? Are there any transfer students!" Yui Yuigahama looked at Mochizuki and Yukinoshita expectantly, hoping to get answers that would satisfy her curiosity.
"There are no transfer students in our class." Yukino Yukinoshita was in the international class, so it seemed normal that the school hadn't arranged for transfer students to go there.
Yui Yuigahama looked at Mochizuki again.
"There's one in our class too, her name is Nakano Itsuki."
"Oh! She's very pretty, right? Right?" Yui Yuigahama spoke excitedly, wanting to hear Mochizuki's evaluation.
"Mm." Mochizuki responded lightly, after all, he had already seen her, and besides, were there few beautiful girls around him?
"Xiao Wang is so perfunctory, so cold!"
"Is it okay if I'm as cute as you!"
...
"Oh right, and I also heard that the five of them ate lunch with a boy! I wonder which boy is so lucky!"
...
Mochizuki pondered for a moment.
Yui Yuigahama really knew a lot, but it was good that she didn't know that boy was himself.
The speed at which news spread at school was also very fast!
He still wouldn't tell the two of them about his relationship with The Five Sisters.
Although he couldn't hide it for long.
After finishing the remaining black tea in one gulp, Mochizuki decided to leave to go for a run and then go home.
"Eh, Xiao Wang, are you leaving so early today!"
"Yes."
"So sneaky!"
...
Mochizuki arrived at the wide sports field, where many students were already sweating.
He found a clean spot, put down his school bag, and started jogging.
The track around the school sports field is 400 meters.
Mochizuki decided to run 5 laps today first, there needed to be a gradual process.
To give his body time to adapt, if he ran too much at once, his body might not be able to handle it.
Soon, Mochizuki entered the state of running, and in his mind, he began to check his system panel.
...
Meanwhile, outside, some girls who were also running and exercising noticed that a rather good-looking student had come to run, which was rare.
They couldn't help but compare Mochizuki with another handsome guy on the football field in the center of the track.
It was a blond handsome guy wearing short-sleeved sports clothes, named Hayama Hayato, and he was undergoing football training.
Hayama Hayato kicked the football passed by his teammate with a powerful foot.
The football flew with lightning speed, forming a beautiful arc, and finally flew into the goal.
The goalkeeper didn't have time to react at all.
Goal!
It was clear that Hayama Hayato's football skills were quite good.
"Oh oh oh! Saikou!"
There were bursts of cheers from the field.
Hayama Hayato's kind face also smiled happily at his teammates.
In fact, many girls specifically came to the sports field just to watch Hayama Hayato play football.
In comparison, they found that Mochizuki was not inferior to Hayama Hayato.
If Hayama Hayato was the eye-catching handsome guy in the crowd, thanks to his blond hair.
Then, Mochizuki was the type that was inwardly reserved and became more attractive the more you looked at him, especially his eyes were particularly attractive, making people fall into them.
These senior girls were planning, after Mochizuki finished running, to give him a drink, strike up a conversation, add his Line, and find out which class he was in.
Mochizuki, on the other hand, while jogging slowly, patiently observed the skills he had mastered in the system panel.
The skills were arranged in order of proficiency from high to low.
Instant noodles, lv5 (maxed out)
...
Staying up late, lv3 (88/100)
Seeing this 'Staying up late', Mochizuki's mouth twitched.
He thought for a moment, what was the use of maxing out this skill?
Would he not die suddenly?
Continue looking down.
Gaming, lv3 (31/100)
He had been playing games for so long, and it was only level 3.
It seemed that the further back it was, the harder it was to improve.
Washing dishes, lv3 (25/100)
...
light novel creation, lv2 (45/100)
Novel creation is only level two, no wonder I often get stuck...
math...
Japanese...
English...
...
Bumper cars...
Jogging, lv1 (88/100)
...
He didn't have many skills mastered, and even fewer high-level skills.
After thinking for a moment, Mochizuki understood.
It seemed that reaching level 5 was the max level, and each level required reaching 100 proficiency.
He didn't expect his running to be so bad.
However, it wouldn't take long to improve.
Soon, Mochizuki completed his 5 laps of running for the day.
His face was already covered in sweat.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo~"
After a few laps, Mochizuki couldn't help but pant heavily.
Although it was a slow jog, the weather was too hot.
Running was just torturing himself, but for the sake of proficiency and exercising, there was no other way.
He should go home and take a shower quickly.
It was much more comfortable to be at home, with the air conditioning on, and typing on the keyboard.
Mochizuki found the spot where he had put his school bag, picked it up, and prepared to turn and leave.
But the girls who had been observing Mochizuki all along.
One short-haired girl, who looked very lively and active, was the first to come forward with a drink.
The girls who were a step slower could only stomp their feet, secretly regretting it, and then looked on with hostile eyes.
"Hello, student, are you a first-year student?"
"Ah, yes."
"I'm in the second year, you can call me senpai."
"Hello, senpai."
"You're so sweet, junior. Let me buy you a drink."
Then, the short-haired girl handed over a cold drink, thinking, after running, it's so hot, the junior definitely won't refuse.
As she spoke, the senpai also smoothed her hair and puffed out her chest.
Mochizuki swallowed.
He was indeed a bit thirsty after running and really wanted a cold drink.
However, in order not to get involved in unnecessary relationships with the senpai in front of him.
"No thanks, senpai. If I drink coffee, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
This was, of course, an excuse.
Mochizuki planned to go buy a cold cola himself and then quickly avoid the senpai and escape the sports field.
Leaving only the senpai standing there in surprise.
This trick had always worked for her before!
The other girls who were watching the show also saw the short-haired senpai being rejected and couldn't help but snicker.
However, it seemed that this junior was a bit cold.
They also gave up the idea of going up to strike up a conversation.
