April 27,
Tuesday, sunny with a gentle breeze,
As the bell signaling the end of class rang, the campus quieted down, bathing in the beautiful sunshine and caressed by a gentle breeze, a few delicate cherry blossom petals scattered here and there.
The green lawn sprinkled with pink added a touch of color to this romantic season.
Inside the school swimming pool,
"Haruka, did you prepare anything for this swimming class?"
In the changing room, Haruka Yuzan took off his indoor shoes, somewhat curious, "Prepare? What do I need to prepare for this class? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Heisuke Yonchu looked around and then whispered,
"I don't mean bringing something. I'm asking if you've been exercising in the past few days. After all, the boys' swimwear will be just a pair of shorts, with our upper bodies exposed."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem quite unfair. Why do we have to wear so little?"
Haruka Yuzan's thought process was always different from others', "Or what, you want to wear a full-body swimsuit?"
"....."
Heisuke Yonchu scratched his head, "Of course not, who'd wear that thing, tight! I mean, have you been to the gym these last few days?"
"Not really, why?"
Haruka Yuzan opened his locker and took out the prepared swim trunks.
He indeed hadn't had the chance to go to the gym these past few days.
You've been slacking, Mr. Haruka.
"Of course, you should show off your most perfect physique!"
Heisuke Yonchu came over, with a look of anticipation for the upcoming swimming class on his face,
"For this class, I've been extremely disciplined with my diet these last two days. I even exercised in my room last night."
"Then, the girls in our class will say, 'Look, Mr. Heisuke's physique is so good!'"
Who knows how many times that scene had played in Heisuke's mind—it looked like he had been symptomatic for several days now.
Haruka Yuzan shook his head, saying nonchalantly,
"Boring. Instead of worrying about girls seeing me in my swim trunks, I'd rather think about how to get into the top one hundred of our grade."
With over a dozen vibrant and beautiful girls, there was bound to be one for you.
Seeing them right as he walked out was a sign of good luck for the day.
The lovely girls, one after another, emerged from the girls' locker room, laughing and chatting with each other.
"Hey, Miko, what are you staring at?"
Suddenly, Mikoto Tamamo at the front stopped in her tracks, gazing blankly in one direction, lost in thought.
The rest, curious, followed her gaze and saw Classmate Haruka standing at the entrance of the boys' locker room.
Tall stature, balanced muscle definition, an attractive throat knot, and a handsome face; he was the epitome of perfection.
Deadly attractive to these young girls.
For a moment, the girls all fell silent.
"Hey, Haruka, they're all looking this way. What should I do?"
The gaze of the female students made Heisuke Yonchu particularly self-conscious; he had never experienced such a scene before, and he didn't know what to do with his limbs. "Should I strike a really cool pose or just dive into the water right now?"
Being watched by a bunch of beautiful girls, for Heisuke Yonchu, a passionate and earnest young man, the pressure was on, and it was overwhelming.
"Just be cool. Let them look. It's a good chance to show off the body you've been working on for the last two and a half days."
Haruka Yuzan said with a laugh, his male voice sounding natural.
Accustomed to attention from others, he found the gaze of the lovely girls truly pleasing to the eye, unlike the attention from earlier in the locker room.
"Oh, oh, okay, play it cool, play it cool."
Heisuke Yonchu muttered under his breath, deliberately looking off into the distance, doing his best not to let his gaze fall back onto the girls.
If the girls caught him sneaking a glance, he might lose certain privileges within the class.
This was truly unbearable.
Seeing his best buddy so flustered, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help shaking his head. He was making too much of a fuss over something so trivial—it was unbecoming.
But what he really wanted to see was the class president's swimsuit.
Unfortunately, Chiba Shimizu wouldn't even come to swimming class.
What a misuse of power by the missy of a big family! Truly infuriating!
