As I spoke, I walked from the senior two building into the senior one building through the "tunnel" above. I had to admire how loaded this academy was—building a massive structure for each grade, yet most classrooms sat empty. Still, a few clubs buzzed in those vacant rooms.
Yuxuan’s class, I recalled, was in…
Before I could dwell on it, a sudden voice startled me. “Pervert Senior! You actually dared to enter the freshman building? Were you so bewitched by my cuteness that you risked teacher scolding just to sneak in and ogle me? I might feel a trace of pity—for a pathetic soul like you—but I’ll reject anything you say! And also…”
I glanced at the chattering little girl before me, then walked past without a word. I’ve always believed reasoning with kids is pointless.
“Hey! Pervert Senior, stop right there! I’m talking to you!” The little girl stamped her foot, her cheeks flushed bright red.
I stifled a chuckle. “Huh? Were you speaking to me? You mentioned someone coming for you—I thought you meant another person!”
She jabbed a finger at me, voice firm. “Who else? You’re the only Pervert Senior in this whole school!”
I shrugged helplessly. “What’s that got to do with me? I didn’t come here for you today…”
Her expression crumpled like she’d been struck. She collapsed to the floor. “Cough… you… cough cough… fine, Pervert Senior… you’ve successfully caught my attention.”
I shook my head, pulled her up, and wiped her hands and knees with a tissue. “Don’t flop on the floor, girl. The school’s clean, but the tiles are still dirty.”
I resumed searching for senior one, class seven. If I remembered right, Yuxuan was in that class.
Honestly, if this school ever shut down, they could sell the campus as an amusement park maze—it’d make a fortune! Because I was lost… For the event, they’d covered every class number with decorations.
Now I was completely turned around. Where was class seven…? I’d promised not to misuse Superpower, but…
Fine. With Superpower’s help, I reached class seven. Using it was trivial; getting lost would’ve been a massive embarrassment.
At the doorway, I spotted that little girl again. Talk about fate throwing us together.
She noticed me too, set down her things, and shuffled over. Head bowed, she crept toward me at a snail’s pace.
Suddenly, she lifted her face—a shy, crimson flush filled my view. “Thank you…”
She whispered it, then bolted out the door. Only then did I realize the entire class stared at me. Even Yuxuan gaped, wide-eyed, her expression thick with confusion.
