Chapter 57: The Them She Painted

  In the past, when Kiriya Aoi was helping the regulars with their studies after school, she would be escorted out of the classroom by the regulars who had finished their classes a few minutes early. It was rare to see Kiriya Aoi alone in the afternoon after school. However, these past few days, Kiriya Aoi was given a short break, and even though the regulars knew that a driver would be coming to pick her up, they still escorted her to the school gate, watching as she got into the car before getting into Tsubasa Atobe's car to head to the tennis club.

  "Ah, wood, silk, fragrance!"

  Qīng shuǐ liáng sī kàn zhe huì mù xiāo fēi bèi bīng dì zhèng xuǎn men zhè yàng xiǎo xīn hū hù zhe, jiǎn zhí jì dù dào yào yǎo suì yī kǒu yín yá (→＿→ wǒ huì gào sù nǐ, qí shí hěn xiǎng xiě xià huáng yá liǎng gè zì mò?)

  She was too careless! If only she had visited each school when she first arrived! She thought of herself as the heroine of this world, and that it was only a matter of time before she gathered all the princes in her harem. So she focused on building a good relationship with Qing Academy first, and then planned to conquer the princes from other schools later. But now, the fact is that the prince of Bing Emperor has been snatched away by another transmigrator! How could she not be angry?!

  But she was determined to win them over with her charm! To divert their attention from Akane Motomiya with absolute advantage!

  ...and then she actually got into a taxi and followed Tsubasa Jingū's car.

  Now she thinks it's a great opportunity for her to be with the princes without having Akane around!

  Everyone in Kageyama's car was reading the Chinese scrolls given by Hinata, except for a certain someone who was sleeping like a sheep.

  Kokoro glanced at the sleeping god who was sleeping sweetly and happily, and it turned out that Akutagawa Kiyoshi really had a talent for learning Chinese. Although he always said to Tsumugi that Chinese was too difficult, except when Tsumugi tutored him and he learned a little bit of Chinese, he spent most of his time sleeping, yet he could keep up with their grades!

  Ah? Still quite elegant!

  The old man from the Traces Department nodded slightly and turned his head back, no longer paying attention to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

  "Hehe......" Suddenly, the examinees all chuckled lightly, and Kojirou's gaze, which had returned to the test paper, also paused slightly when he saw a certain part of it, before his thin lips curved up slightly.

  "Yūshi, what kind of you did Yūki draw?" Akane leaned over her red-haired sister's head to look at the scroll in Yūshi's hand.

  They actually saw Akane Tsunemori return their gift on their scroll. To think that they had previously drawn her with a different expression.

  Toward the mountain, people are very curious about what kind of expression Kusakabe Misuzu drew on these people.

  "...Ning Zuoyu covered up the place where he had drawn his Q-version, not letting Xiang Riyue see it, which made Xiang Riyue pout and say "What's the big deal if I look?! You're so petty!"

  "So why did you just put away the scroll?" Rinshi looked at him with raised eyebrows, unsure whether it was teasing or contempt.

  ...Xiang Rì Yuè was stunned, and he shifted his position to sit a little further away from Renzoku Jūshi, but didn't expect that the scroll would be snatched away by Renzoku Jūshi when he wasn't on guard.

  "Hey! You!" Yatsumatake gritted his teeth and shouted.

  "Whoa......!!" Nintou Yuushi opened his notebook and saw the drawing of Hyuga Hinata by Akane Isuzu, raising an eyebrow high, "You look like a girl screaming in delight~"

  Hinata: "......" Can he say that with a straight face? Akane drew a picture of him screaming in fright, and to make matters worse... He looks really girly while screaming.

  Everyone: "......"

  Seeing that Q-version of Mount Fuji being held up by the ninja, the examinees couldn't help but look at their own papers, fortunately, they didn't look as bad as Mount Fuji...

  "...You've seen mine, now show me yours!" Toward the sun, Yatou charged at Shinsoo, but was pushed back by a slap on his forehead from Shinsoo, "No negotiations..."

  Will Renjou tell his partner that Akane drew him wearing a dress and crying pitifully? Is Akane implying that he always hurts girls? But even in a dress, he's still trouble... As a male, it's better if you don't look, partner...

  "It's not fair!" Yatogame Junta knew that these people were well aware of his fear of ghosts, but just like what Nishikujou Tsunade said, he really looked like a girl screaming in terror, how could he not be embarrassed?!

  This also led to the people of Yuhua showing off their bravery with extra effort later on.

  He's a real man! Not some delicate and weak pretty boy!

  Hidetaka Yakou was furious with Akane Kougami for the first time, and in her eyes, he had that kind of image!

  He really wanted to shout at her: He's so strong! He's so manly! He's so mighty!...

  "Below the superior! Senpai, you weren't twisted by Yukata, you originally had that kind of image..." It seems like Hiyori has seen through Yatagarasu's thoughts.

  ...cut, they've all seen him scream in fear of ghosts before, okay?

  Everyone else nodded in agreement and glanced at Yoriyuki.

  "......" Should he understand that Katsuragi Ren is looking down on him for being afraid of ghosts, or simply wants to return the favor? He's starting to not get Katsuragi Ren's personality at all. (╯﹏╰)

  The stifled people of Mount Yari are being balanced by being looked at, and they're being hit like this! Can only go to Ryūnosuke Akutagawa for balance now!

  Yukito took over Ryunosuke Akutagawa's scroll, opened the scroll and looked at the Q-version image of Ryunosuke Akutagawa on it, his mouth was in an O shape, "The sheep has transformed! It turned into a big gray wolf!"

  Don't look at Akutagawa Jirou's fans thinking he looks like a sheep, his teammates also think he looks like a sheep.

  The painting of Akikawa Jirō by Katsuragi has lost that fluffy sheep image, and now he's so evil! Those eyes are emitting an evil wolf-like glow! He's completely transformed from a sheep to a big bad wolf!

  ...Akane didn't know that the Kiyokawa Jirou she drew was originally just for fun, but unexpectedly when Kiyokawa Jirou saw her drawing of him as a big gray wolf version, for an instant, his lips really curled up evilly. At that time, he thought that for her, he could become so evil... If the prey targeted by the sheep wants to escape, don't doubt it, he will definitely... turn into a big gray wolf and catch the prey back!

  Sheep turned into big grey wolves...

  The candidates looked at her Q-version drawing for them...

  Kageo Kajiwara and Shinbei's commonality is that he dresses as a woman! Moreover, it's the typical queen attire! Yet, he sits on the throne, looking down on all living things with disdain!

  Ah? Even if he's drawn wearing women's clothing, he still doesn't look feminine! Still so elegant!

  Akira Kusakabe took a glance at his own portrait. He was wearing a kimono, looking like a big and gentle samurai. He couldn't help but touch his long hair...

  Feng Changtai's painting suddenly changed from gentle and shy to a fierce and menacing appearance, leaving him shaking his head in dismay. He pinched his own face, finding it hard to imagine himself looking so ferocious... Could he really picture his own face as that of a mad sheep?

  It turns out that in Feng Bao's heart, being fierce and cruel is just a way of going crazy like a sheep.

  Ryōji's painting is a knight-errant, a Chinese knight-errant... He was very satisfied and hung it up with the Chinese ones she liked.

  Kajita Takahiro looked at his own drawing, but it was no longer a dull boy. He had a happy smile and he was expressive. Although it was just a simple Q-version portrait, Kajita Takahiro saw that he was a free-spirited boy. His small eyes were lit up by the bright light in them, making him look even more captivating.

  Tsubaki Aki's brilliance was always a rose with thorns, noble and beautiful yet sharp. If one didn't have extraordinary courage, they would be hurt by his brilliance. Kajika Hiroto never chose to touch that noble rose, but instead silently protected it, never overstepping. He was loyal, with a pure and innocent heart. However, he could never face the world like the rose did, always staying behind it. The sunlight filtering through the rose's shadow couldn't completely obscure his tall figure, but he seemed to have grown accustomed to hiding himself, lowering his presence.

  "Ah, En? What a gorgeous expression......" Kizaki Keigo said, pointing to the mole under his eye as he gazed at Hishida Takahiro's painting. Although he was used to Hishida following him from behind and seeming like a follower, in reality he considered him a friend, and if one day he could stop hiding his own light, he would be happy for him.

  "...Ah." Huo Di Chong Hong paused for a moment before responding.

  Kazuo Atobe smiled wryly and didn't say anything else, but his pause proved that he was shaken. Ahh? The members of the Hyoutei Tennis Club are all the most gorgeous! Each one shines!

  "Master..." The driver in front suddenly spoke up, "Someone is following us from behind!"

  The passengers were stunned and looked back at the car in unison. Sure enough, they could see a car almost biting the rear bumper of their vehicle.

  "Ah en? Don't mind it......" Who is it, anyway? Just wait a moment and it will be clear.

  But when I arrived at the tennis club, I didn't expect to see a mother cat, and it was even a mother cat that Lin Xiangyan didn't like!

  The clear water cools the mind, a pair of bright eyes is not hiding excitement at all, the infatuated feelings have already ruined that liveliness, in the eyes of the right people, it's just disgusting!

  But Qing Shui is really excited, isn't he!! This is her first time truly standing in front of the Hyoutei regulars! Although Seigaku is the main character, but Hyoutei's regulars are all rich and handsome, aren't they!!

  →Okay, although some of the positive choices aren't that high, they're still junior high students and will grow taller, right? Super potential stock of tall, rich, and handsome!

  "Hello! I'm Qing Shui Liang Si! I'm a classmate of Ruo's!" Qing Shui Liang Si gave a bright and cheerful smile as she introduced herself to the candidates who were looking at her. As soon as she appeared, all the candidates looked at her, proving that she still had a dazzling charm! This made her confidence increase greatly!

  Poor kid didn't know that they all looked at her for the same reason as those kids from Class C in second year, which was because she... had offended Lin Xiangru!

  As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at Rikiya, and was surprisingly called so intimately by someone who came to know him! Fortunately, it wasn't one of them!

  If Rihito felt their sympathetic and gloating gazes, his forehead almost burst with anger, his sharp and dark eyes looked at Kiyomizu Kōshi with a pressure that made her heart skip a beat, "Don't let me hear you call my name again!"

  Qingshui's face stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered. In this regard, he was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed, and his mental endurance was still top-notch in another aspect.

  But it's precisely this kind of infatuation that people dislike!

  Who likes a die-hard romantic! If it's an unexpected liking, then it must be a weirdo!

  Qing Shui was waiting for Zheng Xuan to introduce himself, after all, she had taken the initiative to introduce herself as a girl. Moreover, she thought that Emperor Bing's eyes were already attracted by her!

  But he didn't even glance at her after saying that and went into the tennis club.

  Qing Shui's smile froze again.

  Recently, things she has done have not gone according to her script!

  Is it necessary for her to go find Guan Yue Chu and become his apprentice just to gain some good luck?
