In May 2018, Sato Sakura High School.

"Student Ruoye, did you suspend school for a while because of illness? Now there are very few students who transfer to another school. If you have any inconvenience, you can go to the class committee or me if you have difficulties." The class teacher led Taki Wakaba to the classroom.

"Okay, thank you teacher."

"Are you in good health now? Do you need to go back to the hospital for treatment?"

"He's recovered now."

"Are you an art student? I saw your previous report card and it was very good. Did you not consider Dongda?"

"The previous teacher also told me, but my ambition is already clear."

Taki Ruoye stopped in her tracks, and she heard a small voice coming from a distant window: "Teacher, is there any campus bullying in this school?"

"...as far as I know there is none, what's the matter?" The class teacher turned to look at Taki Wakaba.

"If there is school violence, how will teachers deal with it?"

"Of course, it must be reported to the Academic Affairs Office. Students with character problems like this must be properly educated."

"Hush." ​​Taki Ruoye said, "Teacher, can I go and see?"

"it is good."

Taki Wakaba heard the sound of fists and kicks in the distance, and knew that someone must be carrying out unilateral bullying.She has been in school for so many years and has seen more campus violence than other students, and she has been able to deal with such incidents quite skillfully and quickly.

It was recess at this time, and the students in the corridor outside the classroom came and went, and when they saw Taki Ruoye, they all focused their eyes on her.

But this time Taki Ruoye didn't want to be surrounded by people and talk to her like before, so she adjusted her expression, the corners of her mouth sank slightly, her eyes were empty, and she looked innocent.

"Is it a transfer student? There are still transfer students at this time."

"Super beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful person."

"This is definitely a beauty, right? She is so imposing and cold, I dare not talk to her..."

When I walked to the opposite side of the first floor of the teaching building, there were many fewer people.The homeroom teacher frowned, obviously she was wondering how anyone could hear the voice from so far away.

But when she saw what happened on the other side, her eyes sank.

Taki Wakaba chose this position on purpose, so as not to disturb the perpetrators, and at the same time, it can completely show this scene.

It was three boys in a messy suit, punching and kicking around a thin boy, and at the same time they were still swearing and mocking.

"What are you doing!"

The teacher in charge stopped the scene furiously, "You guys, report your names! Which class are you in?"

The violent boy shivered, stood up loosely, and did not answer her question.

The boy who was beaten was still holding his head. After hearing the teacher's voice, he opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

"Are you okay?" Taki Ruoye bent her knees and reached out to the boy on the ground.

"...Thank you." He held Taki Wakaba's hand and stood up.

He had half of his bangs that were too long, covering the right side of his face, and when he got up, his bangs shook to reveal the scars underneath.

It was the marks from being burned by cigarette butts.

How bad it was.

Taki Ruoye walked up to the teacher and told about the injuries she saw. After listening, the teacher frowned even tighter: "You guys, go to the Academic Affairs Office with me now, and invite your parents over, and I want to apologize to this classmate."

"Teacher, can I take him to the infirmary to treat the wound first?" Taki Ruoye asked.

"Okay, you go first, I will deal with this matter."

On the long corridor leading to the infirmary, the two walked side by side.

"My name is Taki Ruoye, how about you?"

"...My name is Yoshino Junpei."

"Why didn't you say it?" Taki Ruoye asked softly.

"...what don't you say?"

"When Mr. Oda is here, you don't say a word. It will be more beneficial to you if you say it."

"Will it be useful to say it?" Yoshino Junpei's eyes were gloomy.

"Did you not be taken seriously after you said it before?" Taki Ruoye knew in her heart, "That is the other party's problem. Some teachers will be indifferent, or regard these behaviors as a joke between friends, or simply don't want to Well, that's obviously wrong. Do you know what kind of person Oda-sensei is?"

"She has always led the graduation class, and I heard that she is very strict, vigorous and resolute, and she never says anything."

"So it's still a little bit different?"

"..." Yoshino Junpei didn't make another sound.

At this time, the two had already reached the infirmary. The school doctor checked the wound on Yoshino Junpei's body and gave him simple treatment.

Taki Wakaba looked at Yoshino Junpei and followed the school doctor's instructions obediently, always covering up the wound on his forehead.

Those scars from cigarette butts have become old wounds, and it is difficult to fade away even after a long time, but this is not a problem for Taki Wakaba.But more serious than the wound on his head is obviously his current situation.

Therefore, Taki Wakaba does not intend to heal the scar on his head now.

After the school doctor finished administering the potion, Yoshino Junpei was asked to lie on the bed in the infirmary and rest for a class before going to the classroom.

"Senior sister, the third year of high school is very tight. I'm fine now. You can go to class."

"It doesn't matter, today and tomorrow are the preliminary exams for the third grade, and the first class in the morning is all self-study."

"..." Yoshino Junpei didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"Is there someone else bullying you? It should be more than those three."

"....How did you know?"

"You still have a thoughtful look on your face now, as if you are thinking about what to do in the future."

"It's useless. I was lucky today, and what will happen later... are all things I'm used to."

"Then what do you want to do in the future?" Taki Wakaba leaned closer to Yoshino Junpei, and said in a soft tone: "If you let it go, are you going to let this kind of rotten person ruin your life? Your life should be better than Those rotten people are much more beautiful."

"Senior sister, I am very grateful for you reaching out to me today. Only you do this, am I not likable? Senior sister, you are very beautiful and must be very popular. You are a completely different person from me. Although you Saved me today, but I can't be saved by that... sorry to say that."

For Yoshino Junpei, Taki Wakaba is a rare good person who will see him, approach him, and help him.But obviously it was just because she happened to pass by, and she was a person of integrity, and his life and encounters after that had nothing to do with her.She and himself are people from two worlds, and he is not good at interacting with such sparkling people.So sorry, he said such a nasty thing.

It's good to be clear, this is what he thinks, Yoshino Junpei thought.

"What class do you belong to?" Taki Ruoye showed no frustration or embarrassment.

Did it cause her to hold grudges?But looking at her expression, it doesn't look like that.

"Grade one and three classes."

"I want to be your friend, Yoshino Junpei."

"what?"

Is there such a saying?Yoshino Junpei's head was a little confused, was it because of what he just said?If I am so rude and the other party's attitude is still so good, then I will not be able to be tough at all!

"For friends... as long as you want, we are. Friends are not so rare."

Because Taki Wakaba is a good person, it is difficult for Yoshino Junpei to reject her.Like this kind of person, Yoshino Junpei will admire and have a good impression of him, but he will not take the initiative to approach him.

"Then we are friends, and I will go play with you."

It's just a polite remark, Yoshino Junpei thought.

After lying down for a class, Yoshino Junpei returned to his classroom. He was still worried that the class teacher would come to him, but it seemed that it was not that time yet, and he spent a class normally.

During the class break, no one came to him, and Yoshino Junpei felt very at ease.So he lay down on the table and buried his head in the socket of his elbow.

The enthusiastic discussions of the surrounding students came, and the voice was too loud, and Yoshino Junpei couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to ignore it.

"Did you know? In the third grade of high school, a big beauty has been transferred, and she has a very good figure!"

Big beauty?Are you talking about Taki Wakaba?She is indeed very beautiful, almost like a star.Yoshino Junpei said in his heart.

"And it's an ice beauty. Is there really such a cute girl in reality? The feeling of being as cold as ice and as gorgeous as peaches and plums is really great!"

ice beauty?Taki Ruoye feels very gentle, how could they say "cold as ice"?

"Does she feel difficult to approach? If you can strike up a conversation, will you be insulted by her? If you can insult someone, it is really hard to refuse."

Apparently, on the first day Taki Wakaha transferred to another school, the reputation of her beauty spread throughout the school, and Yoshino Junpei felt it was easy to understand.

It would be abnormal if someone so beautiful was not noticed.

We're...friends?Yoshino Junpei's heart suddenly filled with joyful emotions.

No, how could I have such emotions, wouldn't it be too stupid if I secretly rejoiced because my friend is a very powerful person?How good a friend is has anything to do with me?

The third class was physical education class, Yoshino Junpei's heart became heavy.

Because usually during physical education class, he would always be taken to a place like a sports warehouse, blackmailed, and then given a moderate beating.Although the three people who have been bullying him have been caught by Mr. Oda, the person who burned the mark on his head is still sitting in his place and is sought after by others.

If, as Taki Wakaba said, I told the teacher everything that happened before, would the result be different from what I thought?

"Hey, I heard that you lured the teacher here this morning? I didn't expect you to have this ability?"

"Come play with us, aren't we good-friends?"

Looking at the approaching senior students, Yoshino Junpei had a heavy feeling of "finally here".

Sure enough, retaliation came quickly, so I said it was useless.

Wakaba-senpai, I am very grateful to you, but it is really impossible.

The senior classmate in front of him was suddenly drenched in water.

"It's hot! Who is it! Who is pouring water on it!" They jumped up and shouted upwards.

Yoshino Junpei raised his head and found that Taki Wakaha was sitting by the window on the fourth floor, with his elbows on the window sill, looking at them.

When did you start watching it? !Is it time for class now?By the way, she said that in the past two days, the third year of high school will take the test, so she is taking the test now?

Taki Wakaba took out her sketchbook and turned her face towards him. Yoshino Junpei squinted and saw that there was a "3" written on it.

three?Yoshino Junpei intuition means 3 minutes.

Before he could think about it, Taki Ruoye turned it over again, and it said "Run".

In front of him is a bad boy who is approaching fiercely, and above is Senior Wakaba who seems to be planning to do something.

For some reason, Yoshino Junpei had a different feeling in his heart.

He didn't want to be caught by them obediently, and then let them beat him up and leave.

So, now I can only run!

Yoshino Junpei ran wildly on the playground.
