It was at this moment that Shinichi Izumi suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw the teacher right in front of him.
"Playing games in class, huh?"
The teacher held up Shinichi's phone, pointing the game screen on it at him as he spoke.
Shinichi originally wanted to try to argue, but ultimately gave up. Saying something like his hand had its own consciousness and was beyond his control would be too much of a chuunibyou thing to say.
When the school bell rang.
Shinichi took the excuse of feeling unwell to ask the teacher for permission to leave early.
"Izumi looks strange today. Should we go visit him after school?" Yuko Tachikawa said, resting her chin in her hand and looking at Shinichi Izumi's empty seat.
"Perhaps he couldn't think of a suitable reason to apologize, so he feels awkward being in class with Satomi," Shang Xia said while flipping through the schedule on a sticky note.
"I wouldn't rule out that possibility, but I don't feel like Izumi is the type to run away," Yuko Tachikawa said, feeling very frustrated. "I even promised to help him apologize to Satomi earlier."
"Found it." Xia Shang said with surprise. He had indeed found the chemistry class on the schedule. Although he didn't know much about chemistry, he recognized the chemical name for sulfuric acid. With this stuff, he would have a better chance of killing the parasites.
"By the way, Yuko, does our school have a Kendo club, or a similar club?"
Faced with Xia Shang's inquiry, Yuko Tachikawa thought for a moment, and then said, "I remember Yuuji in our class is in that club. If you have any questions, you might as well ask him. Are you going to join the Kendo club?"
Xia Shang put away the schedule and smiled: "I'm very interested in things like Kendo."
Next, he relied on the scenery outside the window to kill time, after all, he had no interest in the things taught in class.
He waited like this until school was over.
"Yuuji, please wait a moment." Seeing Yuuji about to get up and leave, Xia Shang called out to him.
Yuuji was a little strange about Xia Shang suddenly calling him, but he still stopped his movements and looked at Xia Shang and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you, Xia-kun?"
"I heard that you are a member of the Kendo club, so I specifically asked if you are still recruiting people?"
"So you want to join the Kendo club, ah, that's easy to say, I'll take you to see the president now, and once you complete the process, you will be a member of the Kendo club." Hearing that Xia Shang wanted to join the club, Yuuji immediately said enthusiastically that there was no problem.
Immediately, he took Xia Shang to the tall man in front of him, the president of the Kendo club, Tanaka Nakata.
Tanaka Nakata was wearing the unique attire of the Kendo club, looking a bit like a Japanese samurai outfit.
"Have you ever been exposed to Kendo before?" Tanaka Nakata took out an application form and handed it to Xia Shang.
Xia Shang filled out the form and replied, "I studied for a period of time, it's a very good sport."
"Alright." After Tanaka Nakata took the form and found that there was no problem, he extended his right hand and shook hands with Xia Shang: "Welcome to become a member of the Kendo club, our activity time is generally from 5:00 p.m., you can come and learn at that time."
"Okay, if nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be there."
Leaving the Kendo club president's room, Yuuji began to introduce Xia Shang to the situation of the Kendo club, "Our Kendo club is one of the largest clubs in the school, with a total of more than 300 members, including high school freshmen, sophomores, and seniors, and when we meet high school seniors, we must greet our seniors."
"When you get to the club this afternoon, don't forget this, after all, some seniors have bad tempers."
From Yuuji's expression, it was not difficult to see that he had suffered a lot in this regard.
"Okay, I remember, Yuuji-san, why don't I treat you to a meal?" Xia Shang said with a smile.
"No need, I usually go back to eat lunch."
After separating from Yuuji, Xia Shang touched his pocket, and unexpectedly found a few 10,000 yen bills. It seemed that this should be his living expenses for this week. If he didn't spend too much, it would barely be enough.
He casually found a ramen restaurant on the street and sat down, ordering a bowl of tonkotsu ramen with extra toppings.
Xia Shang tasted the ramen in front of him with the attitude of savoring the food. Although the noodles were soft, the taste of the soup base was quite good. In the end, Xia Shang didn't even let go of the soup. The only pity was that this stuff was a bit greasy if you ate too much, probably because there was more oil in the soup.
In the afternoon, Shinichi still didn't come to class.
Chemistry class is somewhat special compared to other subjects, with a dedicated classroom. The teacher in charge of teaching chemistry is a female teacher, with a gentle appearance and wearing black-rimmed glasses.
She was doing some small experiments on the stage.
At this time, Xia Shang discovered that some strongly corrosive chemical agents such as strong acids or bases were locked in a cabinet, and the cabinet required a key to open, which was very strict to manage, and ordinary students could not get in touch with it at all.
"This is a headache, do I have to steal the key from the teacher?" For a moment, Xia Shang couldn't think of a better way.
At this time, there are not many parasitic beasts in the school. Once it is delayed for a few days, the situation will become worse.
"Xia-kun, are you also feeling unwell?"
Yuko Tachikawa, who was next to him, saw Xia Shang frown, so she asked.
"I'm fine, I'm just thinking, if I want the teacher for the key to that cabinet, what excuse do I need?" Xia Shang said jokingly.
"No excuse is needed, ah."
Yuko Tachikawa took out a bunch of keys from her pocket.
"?" A big question mark appeared on Xia Shang's face, "Are you kidding me? How do you have the key to the chemistry cabinet."
Yuko Tachikawa rolled her eyes at Xia Shang, and said unhappily: "Because I am the chemistry class representative, and I am generally responsible for the cleaning and management of the chemistry cabinet, so you guess why I have the key."
"That's just great." Xia Shang really didn't expect that Yuko Tachikawa would have the key to the chemistry cabinet.
"Then can you lend me the key, please?"
Xia Shang looked into Yuko's eyes. He knew that once the loss of chemical agents was discovered, people would definitely suspect Yuko Tachikawa.
"Those agents are very dangerous, what do you want them for?" Yuko Tachikawa asked puzzled.
"There are some special reasons, but you will know later." Xia Shang couldn't tell her that there were man-eating parasitic monsters lurking in the school, it would be difficult to make people believe in this kind of thing unless they saw it with their own eyes.
"Here, it's for you, be careful when using it, and pay attention to whether the bottle mouth is well sealed."
Yuko Tachikawa threw the key to Xia Shang.
Seemingly seeing the doubt in Xia Shang's eyes, she couldn't help laughing: "I also often take some for experiments, as long as you don't take too much in one breath, no one will find out."
