After the school end, Ryou was called by Chie to the staff room. He knocks on the door and search for Chie.
"Excuse me, I was called by Chie-sensei."
But the one who replied to him was not Chie, but a beautiful teacher with a strict face, Chabashira Sae.
"Oh, come in Hiroki-kun. Chie is not here yet, maybe she'll come back in a few minutes. You can wait for her in the staff rest area over there."
He walks toward the staff rest area and open the door. Then he took a seat on the couch.
Right after he sit there, Chabashira followed him.
"Let me accompany you while waiting for Chie. Do you like tea?"
"Thank you, Chabashira-sensei. I prefer black coffee with a little bit of sugar than tea."
"Coffee then. It's surprising for a student to like coffee."
"Really? I thought lots of students are like coffee when they order a drink at the cafe."
"Yeah, but they order something like cappuccino, etc."
Chabashira placed a cup of coffee in front of Ryou and tea for herself.
"Looks like your class doing pretty good in the last exam."
"Your class doing pretty good too Chabashira-sensei."
"Hm... who thought that they'll beat class C in the paper shuffle exam."
She then shifted her gaze towards Ryou.
"It thanks to someone who disturb their class leader focus before the exam. I heard Ryuen was injured because he falls from the stairs."
'Oh, he use that reason for deceiving people for his injuries huh.' Ryou thought.
"Hahaha... even I never thought that Ryuen would be that clumsy."
"Yeah, clumsy enough for someone with a good physical ability to fall from the stairs."
"Yeah, maybe misfortune to face someone better than them because they did something unnecessary."
'Really, what's wrong with women's intuition.'
"That someone must be strong enough then to become a misfortune to someone as strong as him."
"Someone with high physical ability and high intelligence."
Ryou only smiled at her and sip his coffee.
"Even though you're rejecting the offer to join with class 1A at first, in the end, there's a high possibility that you're going to become class A in your second year."
Looking at the current point standings, only a miracle could change the fact that class 1B point will fall below class 1A.
"It's different sensei, if we become class A in our 2nd year, it's because of our class effort, not an individual achievement."
"I highly doubt without you in class 1B they'll achieve such a huge amount of points."
Chabashira smiled at him and change her sitting posture.
She crosses her leg and folds her arms in front of her ċhėst, making her already big ċhėst lifted more.
It's not exaggerated to say Chabashira Sae was a beautiful woman with an alluring body. Even she's popular with male students if only not her strict personality.
But Ryou knew already what's her purpose in this school, and since he's not her student, he didn't want to be in her scheme.
"Hm? I don't think so. You're pretty popular with students and the teachers too you know... Your achievement was one of the highest in the first year."
"Really? I'm honored."
"But, the higher achievement you got, the higher hurdle you'll face."
"Since the beginning, I'm ready to face anything that comes to me. I know in this school, anything counted as competition between the students or classes."
"I hope all of my student attitude was like you."
She smiled at his answer and sip her tea, after she got her cup emptied, she take her cup and stand up. After that, they heard a rattling sound of a door, a sign someone was going inside the staff room.
"Looks like Chie's already here."
"Yeah."
"It's nice to talk with you Hiroki Ryou. Maybe it's not bad to talk with you once in a while. Only a few students can make me satisfied when I talk to them, and you're one of them."
"Really? Thank you then, you're welcomed if you want to talk with me."
Then, the staff rest area's door was opened and Chie pouting looking at her friend and student.
"What are you doing to my beloved student Sae-chan! Ryou-kun, you're cheating on me?"
"I'm done talking with him, take your time Chie."
"Really Chie-sensei? If I want to cheat on you with Chabashira-sensei, I'll choose a more secluded place."
"I'm not your boyfriend Chie-sensei."
"But you're my beloved student!"
"Well, do you need something for me sensei?"
He's shifted their conversation topic.
