Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Class Destined to Cause a Sensation (Sixth Update!)

Yuan Yue Academy.

Saturdays and Sundays were originally days off, so even though there was a special elective class scheduled for Saturday morning, after a week’s promotion, not many students planned to get up early to attend.

However, some students who received insider information were incredibly eager.

Early in the morning, Morioka Makoto dragged Tanaka Hikari out of the house.

Ichise Hui, carrying a hoe, returned from working outside and ran into the two, saying, "You guys go ahead, I’m planning to check it out in a bit."

"By the way, where’s Xingping?"

"I’m here!"

In the Polar Star Dormitory’s hall, other students, including Shen Liangzi, Xingping Chuangzhen, and Marui Shanji, were all gathered, ready to head out together. Morioka Makoto was supposed to follow the group, but she had just received a text message from Xia Yu, and her heart immediately soared. She brought a lunch box, and her best friend Tanaka Hikari was dragged along too.

Tiqie Mansion.

"Miss Eriina!"

Niho Fuyuka stood outside the bedroom, knocking on the door.

Click, the door opened, and Tiqie Helinai emerged, refreshed, still dressed in the Yuan Yue uniform, exuding a queen’s aura.

"Where’s the General?" questioned Divine Tongue as she walked.

"He already left earlier," Niho Fuyuka replied, taking a breath.

The Saturday morning class was destined to be anything but ordinary. Not only the Far Moon Commander but also Shinohara Shigetaro from IGO’s Neon Department was present, witnessing the start of such a special course.

The students who didn’t attend would surely regret it for a long time, as perhaps in this class, they would encounter more top-level chefs than they had seen in their past decades of life.

This was a small auditorium, constructed entirely of steel and clear glass.

As the sun rose, its brilliant rays shone through the glass ceiling and walls of the auditorium from all directions, casting light upon the seats.

Before the class started at 8:30 a.m., students gradually arrived, and the auditorium seats began to fill sparsely.

In the backstage rest area of the auditorium, Xia Yu was enjoying a lovingly prepared breakfast.

"Delicious!"

He finished the whole meal in one go and emptied the fresh juice Makki had passed to him, giving a thumbs up, "Full and quenched, now I’ve got the energy to work!"

Morioka Makoto handed him a silk handkerchief, "Wipe your mouth."

"Okay."

Taking the handkerchief, Xia Yu carefully wiped the grease from his lips and stood in front of the full-length mirror in the rest room, slightly adjusting his makeup.

"Would it be more formal to wear a suit?" Xia Yu asked casually.

"The casual outfit you have on is pretty good," Morioka Makoto said softly.

The two seemed to have forgotten about Tanaka Hikari; after straightening his clothes, Xia Yu then noticed Tanaka Hikari standing in the corner, shyly observing him. This sensitive girl noticed his gaze and scrunched back timidly.

"Tanaka Hikari?"

Xia Yu approached, "Hello, let me introduce myself properly, I am Xia Yu."

"Y-you too."

Tanaka Hikari used her watery big eyes, cautiously looking at him.

"Of course, you can also call me Instructor Xia," Xia Yu added, making Tanaka Hikari even more nervous.

"Instructor Xiaxia?"

Her eyes became round with surprise and adorableness.

"What, Makki, you didn’t tell her?" Xia Yu turned and asked his childhood friend.

"I did, but they might not believe it unless they see it with their own eyes," Morioka Makoto replied helplessly.

Knock knock.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the rest room door.

"Come in—"

Xia Yu said casually.

But the door was only pushed open slightly, and a girl with blood-red long hair, munching on snacks, poked her head in, took a few glances around, "Ah, wrong door, sorry!"

The door had barely closed when someone knocked again.

"Who is it?!" Xia Yu’s forehead was bulging with veins, clearly annoyed.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open, and Tiqie Helinai stood there with her arms folded, angrily staring at him as she ground her teeth, "Do you dislike me that much?!"

"Eh, my mistake."

Xia Yu spread his hands, "I got harassed earlier, so I’m just irritated. Helinai, don’t take it personally."

This rare explanation meant Xia Yu didn’t want to waste time arguing with the haughty Helinai right before class, adding to his displeasure. Upon receiving the explanation, Tiqie Helinai surprisingly didn’t throw a haughty fit, and the anger on her face subsided.

"Is there something you need?" Standing in front of a full-length mirror, Xia Yu looked at himself, dressed in simple casual clothes, and the more he looked, the more he felt it wasn’t right.

Witnessing this scene, Tiqie Helinai’s mouth slightly curved.

"Hizaki!" she said softly.

So, Niho Fuyuka walked into the room and placed a neatly folded set of formal wear on the table, of course with a stylish plaid tie.

"For me?" Xia Yu was stunned.

"Hmph!"

Tiqie Helinai turned on her heel and walked away without giving an explanation.

Left behind, Niho Fuyuka glanced at Xia Yu and hesitantly said, "This is what Miss Helinai asked me to prepare for you. Next time, try not to anger Miss Helinai. She... she’s actually been keeping an eye on you."

After saying this, Fuyuka hurriedly followed after the Divine Tongue.

In the full-length mirror, Xia Yu could see Morioka Makoto standing behind him with a quasi-smile.

Opening his mouth, Xia Yu found he had nothing to say.

It seemed there was no need to explain anything. After all, the two of them were just friends.

"You were the one saying I was getting too close to Helinai..." Makoto stepped forward, touched the neatly ironed dark suit, and then suddenly covered her mouth, "It looks like it’s a custom piece from some brand. Oh, I get it now, no wonder Helinai was asking for your height and weight the other day."

"How did you even know my height and weight?" Xia Yu chuckled.

"Observation! It’s the basic observational skill of childhood friends."

Makoto replied as if it were self-evident.

This answer sent an inexplicable chill down Xia Yu’s spine.

"Hurry up and get changed!" She stuffed a shirt and dress pants into Xia Yu’s hands and pushed him from behind.

"Just now you said I looked good even in casual wear..."

"Of course, you look good in anything!"

Makoto waved at him from outside the changing room before closing the door.

As Xia Yu disappeared into the room, the mysterious aura that shrouded Tanaka Hikari also dissipated. She patted her chest with an obvious sigh of relief, her mind racing, "How could he possibly be a guest lecturer at Far Moon!"

At that moment, an announcement echoed in the auditorium:

"The class is about to start. Please take your seats as soon as possible."

Makoto and Hikari hurried off, and when Xia Yu came out in his new attire, he found they were gone. He had to tie his own tie, but luckily he had experience from a past life, so this little task didn’t trouble him.

Thud, thud.

The third knock on the door.

Xia Yu happened to be by the door and opened it, only to see a handsome man with white hair and grey eyes standing outside. After a moment of surprise, the man bowed politely, "Hello, I am Si Yingshi..."

"Hmm?!"

Xia Yu suddenly stepped forward, full of presence, his eyes aggressive. The typically aristocratic and gentlemanly Si Yingshi suddenly showed a look of alarm and backed up against the wall, "What... what are you doing..."

Xia Yu, who had planned to perform a ’wall-pin’, lost interest at Si Yingshi’s weak and vulnerable expression.

"Forget it!"

The First of the Ten Masters of Far Moon, indeed a bottom. Xia Yu waved his hand, hands in his pockets, "Hurry up, it’s time for class—"

"Oh—"

Si Yingshi responded.
