Classroom.
"Thompson, you answer this question."
After being called on by Ms. Jacqueline, Thompson stayed slouched in his seat and joked lazily, "Teacher, you should call Nerd Peter—he can definitely answer it!"
As soon as the tall, imposing Thompson said this, the whole class burst into laughter.
Peter Parker shrank into himself, afraid of catching Thompson's eye and getting beaten up again.
Seeing Peter's timid reaction only made the class laugh harder. Some mischievous boys even started banging on their desks.
Rimuru watched silently, finding it a bit unbelievable.
He was a top student and loved reading—yet he was disliked by his classmates.
In a score-oriented school system like in China, this kind of hierarchy of disdain would be almost unimaginable.
Normally, Ms. Jacqueline would follow along and call on Peter to answer.
But this time, she didn't call Peter Parker—she called Rimuru instead.
The principal had asked her to take special care of Rimuru, but how exactly should she do that?
Ms. Jacqueline's solution was simple: pay more attention and give Rimuru more opportunities!
Rimuru stood up straight and immediately began explaining the solution.
All the students stared at her in shock.
Even Peter Parker was surprised. The question was quite difficult—even he would need time to work it out.
Yet Rimuru answered it effortlessly. Was her academic ability really that strong?
Wasn't she supposed to be some troublemaker expelled from a private school?
Sensing everyone's reactions, Rimuru remained completely unfazed.
Getting a couple of elementary school questions right—was that really something to be proud of?
Physical Education Class.
The entire class was stunned as Rimuru sprinted across the field like a gust of wind, leaving everyone far behind—including two particularly strong boys.
Then suddenly—
Cheers erupted!
"Rimuru!"
"Rimuru!"
"Rimuru!"
Not only the boys, but even a group of girls threw aside their usual composure and cheered loudly.
Compared to her academic excellence, Rimuru's athletic ability made her even more popular.
Soon, many girls surrounded her, asking all kinds of questions. Rimuru calmly answered them one by one.
For a while, the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.
Watching Rimuru integrate into the class so quickly and make so many friends in just half a day, Peter Parker felt both envious and inferior.
His new deskmate was amazing.
"That's Coach Powell!"
"Wow, he's walking toward Rimuru! Is he going to invite her to join the school football team?"
"That must be it! Coach Powell is famous—so many people try to get his attention, but he never cares. And now he's approaching her himself. She's incredible!"
"Peter, your deskmate is amazing! She's only been here a day and already caught the coach's eye. There's no way someone like her got expelled. Do you know why she transferred?"
The chubby Ned leaned toward Peter, asking curiously.
Because of his weight, Ned was often teased, so he naturally became friends with Peter, who was in a similar situation.
Peter glanced at Rimuru secretly, his eyes full of admiration. "I don't know… I've only said one sentence to her so far."
Ned nodded and patted his shoulder seriously."Peter, face reality. A girl like Rimuru—beautiful, smart, athletic, and popular—is from a completely different world than us."
Peter nodded dejectedly.
In truth, he didn't even dare to interact with Rimuru much. Offending the wrong people could bring him serious trouble.
"Hey, Peter, passing by?"
Rimuru greeted him with a smile. School life seemed far more interesting than she had imagined.
Those cute little girls in the class were just too fun!
"Not yet… three more people before my turn…"
Peter's face turned bright red, and he stammered nervously.
Rimuru laughed. This little Spider was even more innocent than she had expected.
Just talking to him made him blush—this was the future Spider-Man?
She could tease him about this forever.
Then Rimuru noticed the chubby boy beside him.
Suddenly, she remembered—this guy was also a genius!
Even in high school, he could hack into the Department of Defense systems. That showed just how incredible his computer skills were.
"You're Ned Leeds, right? Nice to meet you."
Hearing this, Ned was overwhelmed with excitement. His chubby face trembled.
"I-I'm also very happy to meet you!"
After a brief chat, Rimuru heard another girl calling her name. She responded and waved goodbye.
"I'll go ahead—see you!"
Even after she left, Ned and Peter kept staring in the direction she disappeared.
Ned grabbed Peter's arm, almost dreamily."Did you hear that? Did you hear that, Peter? Rimuru talked to me—and even said my name!"
Peter, being shaken around, said helplessly, "I heard it, I heard it! Stop shaking me!"
Ned: "Peter… I think I'm in love!"
Peter: "Weren't you just saying she's from a different world than us?"
Ned replied seriously, "Peter, you don't understand. In front of true love, even worlds aren't barriers!"
Peter: "..."
Rimuru, of course, had no idea what the two were talking about.
But at that moment, she felt a bit confused.
Are all American elementary school students this mature?
One girl had even asked her what cosmetics she used—praising her flawless skin without a single freckle.
Seriously?!
Are cosmetics something elementary school kids should even care about?
In her previous life, she had loved the movie The Parent Trap, but the twins' freckles almost triggered her trypophobia.
Later, she learned that Caucasians tend to have freckles due to lower melanin, and in Europe and America, freckles are often considered cute.
She used to believe that.
But after hearing her classmates' complaints, she realized—she had been fooled.
Concealers and makeup products were still extremely popular.
If freckles were really considered "cute," then why did so many kids care so much?
Among ten classmates, six had freckles—the only difference was how many.
Otherwise, most kids would probably develop insecurities.
At that moment, a commotion broke out.
The girls looked over curiously.
Rimuru froze.
How long had it been?
Peter Parker was being bullied again.
Why did this feel so familiar?
