Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 Hidden in Plain Sight, Kato Megumi!

Returning to Class B, the teacher was already in the middle of the lesson. Yusei explained that the P.E. teacher had needed him for something earlier and wasn't given a hard time.

He quickly took his seat.

But the morning class was Japanese History, which Yusei really wasn't interested in, so he simply lay his head on the desk and closed his eyes to rest.

He had specifically observed earlier when using the Sharingan that it did cause some hunger.

This was a sign of physical energy consumption. At the same time, his brain actually felt a bit tired too, but only slightly.

Based on the above, Yusei concluded that using the Sharingan likely consumed both physical energy and mental energy.

With physical energy accounting for 80% and mental energy for 20%.

This was probably also because his mental energy was very weak, completely incomparable to the Ninjas in the Naruto World.

So, compared to the risk of becoming an idiot from overusing mental energy, consuming physical energy just meant getting tired and eating more.

'Never thought the system would be so considerate.'

Yusei sighed, and also stopped worrying about getting contact lenses for his Sharingan.

When using the Sharingan, it would hypnotize the target, and the target would remember nothing.

Even someone at the level of a special forces soldier would fall for a hypnosis cast their way.

So, there was no need to worry about the Sharingan being exposed. And even if it were exposed, so what? It's just a case of red eyes...

Is having red eyes not allowed?

The morning classes were about to end quickly. Yusei, who had been sleeping with his head on the desk, drowsily heard someone calling his name.

"Yusei-kun, Yusei-kun, Harue-sensei is calling on you to answer a question..."

A girl with shoulder-length short hair was calling out to the sleeping Yusei.

The girl had regular features, was neither tall nor short, had fair skin, and a pair of large eyes watching Yusei quietly.

Her small hands were pushing his shoulder, seemingly trying to wake him up.

"What's going on?"

Yusei rubbed his eyes drowsily as he sat up and immediately saw the teacher on the platform with a displeased expression.

"Sensei is calling on you to answer a question. The year of the Taika Reform... it's 6..."

His deskmate, the girl with short hair, reminded Yusei.

But the teacher on the platform walked down angrily.

"Kato-san, don't remind him! Someone who sleeps in class doesn't deserve anyone's help!"

Yusei was still a bit confused, 'Kato Megumi?'

He ignored the angry teacher and turned to look at his deskmate. Her cute, somewhat helpless, and placid face came into view.

'That desireless, unambitious aura, her placid yet cute face, shoulder-length short hair... It really was Saint Megumi!'

'Didn't I look around the class yesterday to see if there were any cute girls? How did I miss her?!'

'And she's actually my deskmate? Is this the so-called 'hidden in plain sight'?'

Now, recalling his predecessor's memories, Yusei realized he did know Megumi.

And in terms of school interpersonal relationships, Megumi was the only one he was relatively close to.

They were the kind who could talk to each other, while he couldn't talk to anyone else.

This was probably because his predecessor was the reclusive type, and Megumi was also the kind who didn't attract attention.

Negative plus negative equals positive, so the two of them actually ended up being able to talk a bit.

The Japanese History's teacher, seeing Yusei's gaze still wandering around, completely ignoring him, the teacher, instantly felt his anger rise.

"Just where are you looking?! If you can't answer, get out and stand in the hallway!"

"645."

Yusei gave the stunned teacher a speechless glance.

'Even though I often hovered around 1200th place in exams in my previous life, I still knew a thing or two about history.'

'I remembered in Baka to Test Anime, the Japan's Taika Reform was mentioned.'

'Besides, I've also learned a lot history before.'

'Not to boast, but when it came to history, I could still hold my own.'

Unfortunately, Yusei chose the science track in high school in his previous life. Faced with those chemical symbols and physics formulas, he was just speechless.

He really wanted to slap himself for choosing the science track. Wouldn't it have been better to just memorize texts obediently?

This was also why he ranked around 1200th.

The teacher clearly hadn't expected Yusei to know the answer.

Although it was in the textbook, this content was only being covered today, and Yusei's book was firmly closed.

'Without looking at the book or listening to the lesson, the only possibility was... he had previewed it in advance!'
