Chapter 14 The Beginning of Everything (Part 2)

"According to school regulations, earrings are prohibited."

Ryuto pointed to the other person's earrings as he said this.

Upon hearing this, the group of girls around him started to get excited. This was the rhythm of preparing to attack together.

"How dare you accuse Princess-sama!"

"Why did Ranfeng-senpai let someone like this manage the school?"

"He must have been deceived by this filthy bug."

"That's right, he must have used some despicable means."

Hey, don't make it sound like I wanted to do this. I'm the one being forced, I'm the victim here. And what does that despicable means refer to... It's better not to pursue it too much. Ryuto firmly believed in this.

The girl who was called Princess-sama was taken aback when she heard this, and Ryuto couldn't help but wonder what was so strange about it. Then she looked straight at Ryuto and walked over.

"Is that so? This princess has never heard of it, there's no such rule!"

Her words were filled with a demonic charm. Some of the boys in the group will probably scream in excitement again.

In response, Ryuto reiterated.

"No, there is indeed such a rule in the school regulations."

Ryuto calmly replied, but the other party was stunned when she heard this, as if she had seen a monster. Isn't it just a ban on wearing earrings? Why is it so surprising? It seems that she really didn't know. Who is this princess from which country? It's better to finish up quickly... Ryuto thought to himself...

"Then please pay more attention in the future."

Leaving behind these words, Ryuto quickly walked away, unaware of the commotion that followed.

****************************************************

Next is class, but for Ryuto it's nap time. After playing for the first time in a long while yesterday, he stayed up very late, resulting in severe sleep deprivation. So not long after class started, Ryuto collapsed.

He didn't know how long had passed.

"Hey, you sleeping there, stand up."

Suddenly, a shout came, startling Ryuto from his sleep. Thinking that he was going to be scolded again, he instinctively prepared to stand up. But something seemed off when he looked carefully, because now he wasn't the center of attention in the class. Usually, everyone would be looking at him, and then the teacher would come angrily to admonish him.

But now it was different. The whole class was focused on someone else. How strange, it felt like his role had been taken away, but it must be an illusion.

"Haven't you heard? Stand up quickly."

The teacher shouted again, it seems that he couldn't tolerate the kind of person who wasn't obedient, anger clearly written on his face.

The person called was a girl with gray long hair. She seemed to still be half asleep and only stood up slowly after the teacher's second shout, paying no attention to how loudly the teacher was yelling. Throughout the process, she showed no signs of panic or disorder. Oh... she's really a model of composure in a chaotic world! Ryuto couldn't help but worship in admiration...

Who is she? She looks a bit familiar, but I don't know her. This doesn't make sense. As a dweller of the 2D world, I shouldn't feel familiar with people in the real world. Ryuto couldn't help but wonder.

It seemed that the teacher couldn't do anything about her. After several futile attempts to shout at her, he could only give up. Oh! This is a victory for us students. After a few minutes of pause, class resumed. Ryuto also lost his drowsiness due to what just happened.

Since he couldn't sleep, he decided to read instead. So Ryuto, as always, openly read his book, and the teacher who should've been very angry didn't even notice that Ryuto was reading manga during class. It seems that I have to thank that model of composure. Continue to worship...

*****************************************************

Time quickly passed, and with the ringing of the end-of-class bell, the students all started moving at once. Finally, it's the end of class. Well, even though Ryuto was mostly reading or sleeping, in a sense, he might be the most tired. After all, there's a feeling of doing something against the wind.

Ryuto was about to go to the cafeteria to replenish his energy when suddenly..."Ah."

Suddenly someone shouted out, and everyone's gaze naturally gathered at the source of the voice.

"The class funds are missing."

Said the class monitor with a calm expression while covering their mouth with their hand. After that, the classroom became noisy, in a sense.
