"The results are out? I hadn't even noticed."
Lin Mu shrugged, looking indifferent.
Tobe Sho, on the other hand, had a constipated expression, looking at Lin Mu with envy and jealousy.
He hated such academic overachievers!
He was too competitive.
He was a month behind, yet he still got first place on the test. How detestable!
However, when Lin Mu said he could copy his math homework freely, Tobe Sho's envy and jealousy immediately disappeared, replaced by a joyful expression.
Hayama Hayato looked speechless, "Shou-kun, it's still better to do your homework yourself. If you keep playing around, you'll fail the test and have to attend tutoring every weekend."
"I know, Hayato-kun, I wouldn't joke about my weekends. This is just for convenience!"
As long as he maintained a passing score and didn't fail, Tobe Sho didn't demand much of himself.
Besides, he also had to take care of his hair and skin; he didn't have time to spend on studying.
Lin Mu was thus treated as his math homework tool.
But Lin Mu didn't care; after all, it wasn't him who might fail by not doing homework.
If he wanted to copy, let him copy. It didn't matter.
When you're in a class, it's better to be sociable.
And Tobe Sho was Hayama Hayato's friend. A little interaction with him would give him access to Hayama Hayato's social circle, while also increasing his presence and voice in the class.
Why not?
Yes, being more academically excellent was also a means of increasing one's voice.
Not just in society, but high school students are actually even more competitive.
And excellent students often receive more attention and are more easily admired.
...
Shiina Mahiru was a little surprised when she saw the grade list.
She hadn't expected to be surpassed.
She scored 98, while Lin Mu scored 99.
She immediately puffed out her cheeks, feeling a bit unconvinced.
Didn't this guy spend a month in the hospital? How could he still score 99 points?
Next time, she would definitely surpass him and maintain her position as the top student in her grade!
While Shiina Mahiru was unconvinced, she also felt a strange sense of pride.
Who doesn't want their man to be an excellent person?
Amidst the chattering of her classmates, the class bell rang.
The beautiful teacher, Kirisu Mafuyu, with long pink hair, dressed in a professional suit and a hip-hugging skirt, walked in elegantly.
The beautiful teacher's pleasant voice began today's lesson.
She taught history.
Lin Mu, however, was a bit distracted.
His gaze was mostly on Kirisu Mafuyu's graceful figure and the backs of other female classmates.
Among them, Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia sat upright in her chair, appearing to listen attentively.
Lin Mu knew that Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia was a severe chuunibyou in middle school.
She believed she was a 500-year-old magician and even wrote a complete spellbook for magicians.
Speaking of magicians, Lin Mu's abilities included that.
But unfortunately, he currently only had Little Angel Mahiru as a subordinate, which only unlocked the Super Recovery ability.
The related skills for the magician were not unlocked.
However, he was not in a hurry; enjoying life was the main goal.
High school life was still very interesting.
In his previous life, he was a struggling writer who casually attended a university after high school, and it was an all-male class.
He had never touched a girl.
Now that he had the chance to go to high school again, with so many high-quality girls around him, shouldn't he properly celebrate his youth and make up for the regrets of his previous life?
Unconsciously, class was over.
Kirisu Mafuyu, however, asked Lin Mu to come to her office.
Lin Mu quickly followed her.
Upon arriving at the office, Kirisu Mafuyu looked at the slightly handsome, bright-eyed boy in front of her, nodded slightly, and showed a faint smile.
"Lin Mu, how are you getting along with your classmates? Are you used to being in the class?"
"It's great. My classmates are all very kind to me. I feel like I've already integrated into the class."
"That's good." Kirisu Mafuyu nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"Lin Mu, your math score is very good. You scored 99 points right after being discharged from the hospital. Did you study by yourself in the hospital?"
Lin Mu waved his hand.
"No, I was unconscious in the hospital the whole time. I had no time to study at all."
Kirisu Mafuyu looked at him with some surprise, "It seems you have a great talent for mathematics. So, will you be pursuing a science major in the future?"
In the second year, students could choose to focus on liberal arts or science to improve themselves.
Lin Mu, however, shook his head, "My goal is liberal arts, Teacher Kirisu. I want to become a light novel author, so I don't want to pursue science."
"Ah? A light novel author? Wouldn't that be a waste of your talent?"
Kirisu Mafuyu frowned and couldn't help but advise:
"Lin Mu, I suggest you develop in the direction you are good at. Missing out is a lifelong regret, so don't do anything that will make you regret it later."
At this point, Kirisu Mafuyu's expression was very complex.
Clearly, she was someone who had done something she regretted.
"I understand, Teacher Kirisu. I'm already trying to submit my work. If it doesn't succeed, I'll switch to science."
Lin Mu was very considerate. While readily accepting the beautiful teacher's advice and persuasion, he also presented his firm idea.
Kirisu Mafuyu's gaze instantly became even more satisfied.
If all students were as mature and sensible as Lin Mu, with clear goals and no confusion about the future, she would definitely have an easier time.
