Volume 3 Chapter 104 Ice Emperor's Festival
The annual Ice Emperor Cycling Festival has arrived, and on this day, the director with the surname Ji always complains about it, but never abolishes the festival, instead saying "Riding is healthier! Being weak is really too unglamorous!"
That director of the Kiroku family, and Kiroku Kagami's personality are very similar. Well, Kiroku Kagami is his son, and sons are usually as proud and elegant as this. That director of the Kiroku family isn't an exception either. But I never thought that such a refined old man would like cycling!
In the past, Keibu Kengo thought his father's hobby was not elegant at all, but he was silenced by a sharp glare. "It's just that I like cycling and you like tennis! Can't you understand such simple logic as 'each to their own'?"
And then, Tsubasa Atsuya never complained about that unglamorous holiday again.
On this day, the Ice Emperor was destined to be very lively. All students in the central part of the Ice Empire came out of their classrooms, and even teachers had to come out to participate in such an event. However, the teachers were not as calm as the students, because they were not nobles, but just hired by the nobles as teachers, riding bicycles was okay!
This year's students naturally didn't look so bad, after all, they were ordered by Tsubasa Atsuya to learn how to ride a bike well, and with someone teaching them, even the kids who had a fear of riding bikes couldn't help but overcome it.
However, even if the Ice Emperor is very large, it cannot accommodate all students riding bicycles within the campus. Therefore, the venue for the Ice Emperor Cycling Festival is not located on the campus. The father of Kiyoharu Tsurube, Kiyoharu Tsurube, does not want these kids to stumble and fall in his beautiful schoolyard. Otherwise, he doesn't know what his beautiful Ice Emperor Academy would become. Therefore, behind the Ice Emperor Academy, there is a very wide and long slope that leads directly to the venue. The terrain of the venue is not ordinary low, with an elevation of over 500 meters.
But that slope is literally the worst nightmare for Ice Emperor's students over the years! That's why even after learning how to ride a bike, they still can't be confident. Before the activity has even started, all the Ice Emperor students gathered in the school are touching their pockets one by one, making sure that the injury medicine and whatnot are really put away in their pockets, leaving only tears of noodles, just hoping that when they get hurt, it won't be too serious, or else Tokyo General Hospital can't accommodate so many people!
On this day, all the girls of Ice Emperor wore uniform festive attire because their school uniforms were short skirts, not suitable for sports. The Cycling Festival was an exception, and all the girls wore almost the same uniforms as the boys, but still showed feminine clothing. Today's Lin Mu Xiang, in addition to wearing the same clothes as other girls, also tied her blonde hair with a white hairband into a refreshing ponytail. This gentle and elegant girl had a hint of youthful vitality, with some joy at the corners of her eyebrows, showing that she was quite looking forward to this activity.
Hyodo Rei has been taken by Tsubasa Katsuragi to welcome the visitors from other schools, now only the second-year C class students are accompanying her, with a group of kids surrounding her and secretly glaring at that unpopular Shirakawa Ryuuji! That guy actually came back today! However, Shirakawa Ryuuji seems to be in no mood to deal with these kids today, she didn't know about Hyodo's holiday until she heard people talking about it when she got back, looking at Tsubasa Katsuragi who still had to come over and personally tell Kawamura Natsumi something, showing off their love (????), it's simply infuriating.
After receiving the cool and refreshing clothes sent by Qing Shui, he hastily changed into them and quickly chased after Kageyama Shigo in that direction!
People from outside the school are definitely going to be some princes! Such a good opportunity, how can she miss it!
Watching the clear water run away like a gentle breeze, her long pink hair was not tied up, and the unpleasant perfume smell wafted through the air, no matter which aspect, it made them all smell that floral rotten smell. The students of Class C in their second year all rolled their eyes in unison towards that direction, indeed unchanged!
While running, Qing Shui Lian Si and another girl were also running in the direction of Keibu Kengo. That was Togetsu Ujou, who had been left behind by Keibu Kengo on the day she changed into her school uniform. A few words flashed through her mind - Akigi Enko! 2nd year Class C!
Even if she was jealous, Rensui Yu couldn't help but admit that the girl had completely overturned her understanding. She thought that with Kageyama's pride, it would be impossible to move his heart, how could...how could he so easily lose his proud and sharp gaze and become gentle like water!
But in fact, she can't afford to think it's impossible!
But Tōka Ranjō gradually slowed down her pace as she ran, and finally stopped, biting her lip, and started walking back. She headed towards the 2nd year C class in her memory, at this time, students of Hyōtei Academy wouldn't be in their classrooms, but they would be somewhere in the school grounds not far from their classrooms. Tōka Ranjō soon saw that figure surrounded by others, and her pupils constricted slightly, while her gaze met another girl standing next to that figure, and suddenly her eyes widened a bit before she lowered her eyelids.
It's no wonder that Class C of 2nd year gave her a strange sense of familiarity, but it turned out she had forgotten, that was the class of that girl!
Kuwata Fuuka!
The intuition of the arch-nemesis was so strong that it was terrifying. Sota Fushimi discovered Rensui Ujou not far away, but she was afraid of being found out by Kiriya Ayaka, so she just glanced at people nearby, seemingly scanning over an ordinary stranger. As soon as Sota turned her gaze away, she didn't notice that Rensui was furious about her seemingly careless behavior!
Whether it's a scolding or a big fight, it's better than that hateful disregard! How is that possible?!
Yuanshui Yu Rong likes being watched by others and dislikes being ignored, even if it's by her arch-nemesis!
Yuanshui Yu Rong had just lifted her foot to head in that direction when Sangtian Fuxia suddenly grasped the jade hand of Linmu Xiangruo and said, "Hey, Xiangruo, let's go over to Sensei Tsuba's place too. I heard all your friends are there, I want to meet them!"
Her eyes sparkled as she smiled slightly, "It's okay, just wait a bit and Kageyama will bring them over..." Although she also wanted to go greet the first years, Kageyama had told her and their classmates to wait here.
"But I'm so eager to see you! Watafuki! Let's go!" Kuwabara Fuka seemed to be on a spoiled offensive, and Takaashi Watafuki had no choice but to be surrounded by others and head towards Kageyama Shoyo. Leaving behind Tozuru Riko, who was about to join their circle, with an extremely unsightly expression. The figure being surrounded, the dazzling light that had always been reflected, was the glory she had always wanted to have. She wanted to be that spoiled child, an existence that was always pampered and loved at all times, but in reality, what she wanted and what she currently had, still had a huge gap!
"Hey, Kuwata! Are you just going to ignore me and leave like that?" The voice from behind, with an emphasis on the words "old friend", was laced with sarcasm and echoed among the crowd, causing everyone's footsteps to pause, and their laughter seemed to have been muted. They all turned around to look at the girl standing in the morning sunlight, as if time and space had frozen for a second before restarting again. The whole class couldn't help but give Mitsuru Ushio the middle finger!
"Cut, who do you think it is! It's actually Yuanshui Yujie's sister!" Yue Sheng Yaruo exclaimed in surprise and disdain. The crowd of children also looked at Yuanshui Yurou with disdain. Yuanshui Yurou was so angry that she was about to explode, but she had to hold back because she couldn't let herself lose control in front of her rival! Although... she really hated it when people always called her "Yuanshui Yujie's sister"!
Soul is tired! Even if she really is Yuanshui Yujie's sister, she has a name! How can it be so tiring to say such a long phrase without directly calling her by her name? It wouldn't be as annoying even if they just called her Yuanshui Yurou!
"Far water cleanses?" Yanmu Xiangfeng muttered in a low voice, this name sounds familiar, where have I heard it before? She raised her eyes to look at the girl who was trying hard to maintain a gentle smile but still revealed a gnashing teeth and clenched jaws expression. She had a feeling that she saw another Qing Shui Liang Si, both were hypocritical girls who used smiles to cover up their hidden dark expressions, how naive would one have to be to not see through that acting?
...Then, this kind of girl thinks she's hiding very well and it's unreasonable for others to dislike her. But she doesn't know that others have already seen through her.
The people of 2nd year C class were very united, and before Akane Tsugumi transferred in, they were already famous for their unity in the Ice Emperor. Because Senda Fuka and Toin Rina were rivals, they couldn't possibly get along with each other. The two had clashed many times, but it was always during the normal matches of the Judo club. Others didn't have much feeling about it, just thinking that these two loved to cause trouble and gave them a lot of exciting performances to watch.
However, the 2nd year C class can feel that Santan Fuxia and Tōsui Uruka are incompatible with each other, and they all support their own people and view Tōsui Uruka as an enemy. Sometimes they have a poisonous tongue, but in terms of methods, they think they still can't compare to Tōsui Uruka, and since they haven't crossed the line, they usually just scold like a poisonous tongue, at which point they don't care about noble etiquette. So far, Tōsui Uruka hasn't taken any sinister measures against Santan Fuxia, so when it comes to actual confrontation, it's just mutual scolding. But the person who will be scolding with them is Tōsui Uruka, because she wants to maintain her own image!
Many people have complex feelings towards Yu Ruojing. They dislike her but also sympathize with her.
That's just a shield for this sister who is gentle on the surface but dark inside, a poor person being used.
Even pitiful people have hateful aspects, and they still don't like her.
Kuwata Fuka heard Kuroki Ayane's whisper, somewhat helpless. In fact, no matter how much she guarded against it, Haruaki Renge would eventually face Kuroki Ayane head-on. The vast Ice Emperor made it impossible to truly prevent the two from meeting. She even felt that Haruaki Renge's gaze was still focused on Kuroki Ayane rather than her, his arch-nemesis. She stepped forward, shifted left, and blocked Haruaki Renge's line of sight, looking at the surprise in his eyes with an attitude that was as usual towards her. "What? Not going to continue lying in the hospital? You come out and jump around in front of me, thinking I won't let you go back to that place again?"
Yuanshui Yu Rou Shen Zi Yi Jiang, looking at Sangtian Fuxia's face was extremely ugly!
Only the person who took the position of judo club president from her at that time knew that she was seriously injured by her and quietly hospitalized for a long time, so long that everyone thought she had dropped out of school. But that injury still hurts to this day!
The distant water rain gently did not wipe her own shoulders, her face turned paler and paler. At that time, she was heavily injured by Sang Tianfu Xia on her own shoulders, the bones were hurt too. Once Sang Tianfu Xia got serious, it's hard for people to bear. From childhood to adulthood, they have always been rivals, but the only time they really went all out was during the president succession war, truly merciless!
However, it's also a fierce rivalry match, and there's no need to show mercy.
"Let's go, Yuriko. From now on, just keep a distance from that person, she...". Santan Fuxia suddenly lowered her voice and whispered the last sentence to Kiriya Yuriko, who nodded in agreement while glancing at Tōka Uruka.
The people in Class C of the nearby junior high school who heard about it agreed even more, as long as Akane Shinjou ignored this person, this person could only get angry and exhaust himself, while they just needed to kick him flying when he came over with a reckless charge!
Looking at Ling Mu Xiang's nod, Yuan Shui Yu was furious, how did Sang Tian Fu Xia insult her in front of her love rival?!
Actually, if Sang Tian Fu Xia were to defend herself, she would just shrug her shoulders and say: "What's the harm in telling the truth? I'm a good kid who doesn't like to badmouth people. Yu Shui Yu Jie's sister is basically just as brainless as Qing Shui Liang Si!"
Ling Fu, let's go, from now on just keep a distance from this person, she... is a member of the Qing Shui Liang Si NC family.
In Ling Mu Yan's heart, she really didn't want to see another girl like Qing Shui Liang Si, so she nodded. Indeed, she saw too many shadows of Qing Shui Liang Si in her.
All the way, Class 2C and Katsuragi Akane chatted about how fake and insincere Haruno Sora was, making Katsuragi Akane feel more and more like she didn't want to get close to someone like that.
She's a delusional girl who wants to be loved by all the princes, and has become sickly infatuated with that idea. She dreams of being the center of attention for everyone, wanting to be an ice princess, a goddess in the eyes of all the wealthy second-generation nobles. She even wants to be the manager of the tennis club, and is admired by Tsubasa Kei's fan club president, Tōka Rina's sister. She's already got enough reasons to keep her distance from Tōka Rina.
Although I still can't remember who Yuanshui Yujie is, but everyone in Class C of the second year knows that she sings very badly!
Flower idiot!
Vicious!
Despicable!
Violence!
……
Akane Hino wasn't just blindly believing, but she felt the goodwill of Class 2-C from start to finish. She didn't want to doubt what this group of people said to her. If one person thinks there's a problem with someone, it doesn't mean they have a problem. But if a whole group of people think there's a problem, then that person really does have a problem. Even if they have flaws, they also have good points. Not to mention Toya Rikuo, but even Toya Rina herself gave Akane Hino a bad impression.
At this time, at the entrance of Hyotei Academy, Kiseki Jingwu led the regulars and the regulars brought by Teikou's Akashi to meet each other. Kiseki Jingwu saw a strange figure appearing behind Seirin's regulars, but didn't mind as long as all of Seirin's regulars were present.
"Ah, En? Handa, welcome to the Ice Emperor's Cycling Festival! My Ice Emperor is the most gorgeous! Get drunk on my gorgeous cycling competition! Hey, Kaido!" Kageyama Jingoro snapped his fingers, and as Kaido responded with a "WUSH", Handa Kokoro calmly faced this gorgeous old man, saying as always "Don't be careless" when suddenly another group of people came walking over there!
That school uniform... The appearance of that group of people...
