"Ryoma, speaking to the teacher like that just now was a bit impolite."
"Teacher Tamiya is new here; having a student talk to her like that must make her feel quite sad."
During the break, after Ryoko Tamiya left, Satomi Murano furrowed her brow slightly and approached Kurozawa, speaking softly to persuade him.
After all, she was the class representative and had a kind personality. Seeing that Kurozawa was suspected of bullying the teacher, she took the initiative to mediate.
Kurozawa looked up and showed a gentle smile.
"I'll be careful next time."
Hiding his usual aloofness, the sudden gentle smile made everyone slightly startled, then shocked.
Some people were already whispering.
"No way, is Ryoma-kun really into Satomi? But she has a childhood sweetheart boyfriend," a female classmate whispered.
Another classmate beside her nodded like a pecking chicken: "Exactly, exactly. Ryoma-kun might be trying to steal her away. If it's him, Little Satomi could really be captured and taken."
Hearing these hushed words, Satomi Murano's face turned red, and she returned to her seat, no longer speaking to Kurozawa.
Kurozawa's face also instantly darkened.
He wasn't some ice block. What was wrong with being a little gentle when he was in a good mood? It was probably because the usual study atmosphere was quite tense, and the students always liked to use this kind of boring gossip to relax. Each one was like a happy idiot in a melon patch, delighted by what was happening.
"But the new teacher is really beautiful. It's the first time I've seen someone so pretty at school, it's just that her personality seems a bit cold."
"Am I not pretty? Hmph, you get a new person and forget the old one," a popular girl in the class complained coquettishly.
The boy who had just spoken quickly explained with a smile: "It's different. You're also very pretty, it just feels different."
"Where is it different?"
"I can't really explain it, it just feels different."
Kurozawa only listened for a few sentences before completely withdrawing his attention.
The lively atmosphere of the youthful campus, while occasionally making him laugh and cry, more often brought Kurozawa a unique sense of ease.
Having experienced so much fighting and killing, he felt quite peaceful here.
However, with the appearance of the Parasitic Organism teacher, the school was about to become a place of trouble.
As for the reason Kurozawa felt happy and showed a gentle smile, it was related to the appearance of Ryoko Tamiya.
Kurozawa remembered very clearly that Ryoko Tamiya was the only Parasitic Organism in the original timeline who was seriously contemplating the survival of their species. Furthermore, the human body, comparable to an Upper Moon and containing five Parasitic Organisms, was created through her experiments.
"Immortal Body, the Parasyte Body can change bodies at will, and the ability to harden cells is also quite good."
"If I can try to fuse more Parasitic Organisms, my combat power will increase rapidly."
The Potential Points obtained by killing Parasitic Organisms, when used, can increase combat power, but compared to directly controlling Parasitic Organisms, the cost-effectiveness is pitifully low.
If possible, Kurozawa wanted to try to find a suitable balance point between the Parasyte Body and the Immortal Body, absorbing more Parasitic Organisms into his body. Righty, and Ryoko Tamiya, were the first targets he set his sights on.
However, there's no rush for now. Wait a little longer.
Parasitic Organisms transferring bodies carries a significant risk to their lives. They require sufficient biological knowledge to support them in changing bodies.
Parasitic Organisms that have just been born don't have this ability yet.
The school bell rang. As the students packed their bags, one by one leaving their seats and heading outside the school, Kurozawa also slowly rose.
Looking at the setting sun outside the window, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His excellent vision directly saw the school gate, where Kana was stopping and waiting, stretching her head to look into the crowd.
Taking out his phone, Kurozawa dialed Kana's number.
Although the school required students not to bring phones, few students followed this rule, and the school and teachers also turned a blind eye, not paying excessive attention.
In his line of sight, Kana felt the vibration, took out her phone, and then answered the call with a smile in her eyes.
"Hello, Nii-san."
"You go back first, the teacher has something for me."
"Okay, I understand. Then come home early."
After Kana hung up the phone, she paced around the gate for a while, then suddenly closed her eyes tightly and clasped her hands together.
Waves of strange fluctuations emanated from her body, spreading outwards.
Clearly, she wanted to confirm if Kurozawa was really at school, so she used her perception ability.
By the window, seeing that Kana was completely unaware that she was emitting dangerous signals and was in danger of losing her life, Kurozawa's brow furrowed slightly.
Immediately after, a fluctuation swept past Kurozawa, paused slightly, and then quickly retracted.
Kana in the distance also opened her eyes and looked up, looking towards Kurozawa's location from a considerable distance.
Her eyesight was average; she only saw a blurry figure by the window, but Kana knew the location of Kurozawa's classroom and had confirmed his identity.
Then, Kana turned her gaze away with some suspicion, her sight gradually shifting, finally locking onto an office in the teaching building.
"Was it my imagination? Why did it feel like there were two Nii-sans just now?" Kana shook her head, then smiled and waved towards Kurozawa's location. Regardless of whether Kurozawa saw her, she turned around and skipped away.
Almost at the same time, Ryoko Tamiya in the office revealed a strange smile.
"A fellow creature? No, the mental fluctuations are too weak. It's more like a human with heightened senses."
"Humans are truly an interesting species."
She took out her phone and saw her own bizarre smile reflected in the screen. She quickly reached up and rubbed her face, using her fingers to manipulate the corners of her mouth until the smile looked normal before stopping.
"A bitter smile, a hearty laugh, a meaningful smirk... A simple smile can express so many emotions."
"I still need to learn more."
Ryoko Tamiya put down her phone, then opened a drawer. After browsing through a stack of books for a moment, she picked up a book about human body language and began reading it carefully, occasionally glancing towards the door, waiting for Kurozawa to arrive.
A few minutes later, steady footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer, then stopping at the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
A light knocking sound rang out.
Ryoko Tamiya's breath hitched, then she calmly said, "Come in."
After politely knocking and entering, Kurozawa saw that the office, which was neither big nor small, contained only Ryoko Tamiya. The other teachers had already left.
"You must have discovered my identity."
"I don't have any hostility."
Ryoko Tamiya got straight to the point, directly stating her intentions.
Kurozawa didn't stand on ceremony. He casually pulled over a chair, sat down, crossed one leg over the other, leaned back, and narrowed his eyes, taking in the young female teacher.
The silent atmosphere lasted for over ten seconds. Kurozawa smiled and said, "I don't have any hostility either." He paused, then added seriously, "I just want to ask you to find somewhere else to parasitize."
