Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Couldn't touch it even a little.

After Fujiwara Chika finished playing, she immediately turned her head to look at Touma Kazusa, trying to find reactions like recognition, surprise, or praise in the other's eyes.

Unfortunately.

Touma Kazusa's eyes were calm as always, without any waves.

This made Fujiwara Chika feel terrible.

Was her performance just like this in the other's eyes?

This was a misunderstanding on Fujiwara Chika's part.

Touma Kazusa's upbringing was completely different from hers.

In Touma Kazusa's heart, playing the piano was nothing to praise at all.

It was as normal as eating and drinking.

Would you show admiring eyes when you see someone drinking a glass of water in front of you?

Impossible.

Touma Kazusa silently walked to the piano and sat down, placing her slender, fair fingers on the distinct black and white keys.

She didn't say anything, just started her performance as always.

And from the moment the first note was played, Fujiwara Chika realized... she had lost.

The piano skills of the two... were worlds apart, not even on the same level.

This had already exceeded the obvious categories of musical difficulty and performance fluency.

To put it simply.

The sound of the piano played by Touma Kazusa was just better than Fujiwara Chika's.

This was a complete and utter crushing in all aspects.

The members of the Over-Limit Club were seeing Touma Kazusa playing the piano for the first time, and they couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

That cold Touma classmate, who always carried a sense of aloofness... her attainments on the piano were actually so high!?

Yosuke was naturally not surprised by this situation.

Touma Kazusa couldn't possibly lose to Fujiwara Chika.

If we were to use studying as an example...

Touma Kazusa possesses both Kaguya Shinomiya's talent and Miyuki Shirogane's focus and perseverance.

Top talent, coupled with unimaginable, day-after-day effort.

This is Touma Kazusa's strength.

"It's over."

After playing a piece, Touma Kazusa only said three words lightly, and then got up from the piano.

Both Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya were speechless.

Lost.

Completely and utterly lost.

Fujiwara Chika represents the highest level of piano among the students of the Private Shuchiin Academy.

Shinomiya Kaguya originally thought that even if her good friend lost, she wouldn't lose too badly.

But now she knew that her original thoughts were completely wrong.

Touma Kazusa and Fujiwara Chika were not in the same league at all.

This was simply crushing!

Fortunately.

Shinomiya Kaguya thought that even if she lost on the piano, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, a specialty is a specialty, and a student's duty is still grades.

Let her, as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Group, protect the final dignity of Private Shuchiin!

......

Several hours later, inside the Shuchiin Academy Hall.

The teachers and students of Sobu High School, as well as all the students of Shuchiin who participated in the exam, were sitting here, waiting for the results of the exam.

Most of the students at Shuchiin were looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yosuke sitting there with extremely mocking and gloating eyes, whispering in their mouths.

"Only these last few minutes are left before the embarrassment."

"There's no need to be so happy, we are Shuchiin, victory is a matter of course."

"Yeah, mocking them now makes it seem like we really regard them as competitors, there's no need."

"It's not even the same level of school, the joint exam is probably just for the school to please us."

"Shinomiya Kaguya can't possibly lose to a mere Sobu High School student."

......

Listening to the mockery of those Shuchiin students, Hiratsuka Shizuka bit her silver teeth lightly, and said angrily.

"These guys are really arrogant, is our Sobu High School worse than their Shuchiin?"

Unexpectedly, Yosuke, who was sitting next to her, actually nodded and replied in a matter-of-course tone.

"Of course, what did you think?"

"Eh?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously.

"But, you said in the morning..."

Yosuke waved his hand, not taking it seriously.

"Hey, I was just acting cool, you didn't take it seriously, did you?"

Then, without waiting for Hiratsuka Shizuka to speak, Yosuke said lightly.

"Our Sobu High School has the most outstanding student, which is me, and the most outstanding teacher, which is you, I didn't say these two points randomly."

Speaking of this, Yosuke changed the subject.

"But Shuchiin's biggest advantage has never been these visible things."

"That is...?"

Yosuke smiled and said softly.

"It's connections."

"Shuchiin's foundation is the most profound among all the high schools in the Sakura Province."

"As long as a student enters Shuchiin and successfully graduates in the end, then no matter whether he chooses the business world, the political world, or any other path in the future, he will be able to meet alumni and seniors who also graduated from Shuchiin."

"In addition, most of Shuchiin's students are either rich or noble, and spending three years of school life with such people, the friendship formed during this period will also become a boost on the road in the future."

"This kind of network relationship cannot be bought with simple money."

Hiratsuka Shizuka obviously could understand the reasoning behind this, and nodded in agreement.

Then, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Since you know the benefits of choosing Shuchiin, why did you come to Sobu High School in the first place?"

"I don't need these."

Yosuke replied casually, then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka next to him, and said with a smile in his eyes.

"Besides, if I didn't enter Sobu High School, I wouldn't have met such a beautiful homeroom teacher, let alone teased her in the office."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed with shame, and bit her silver teeth tightly.

"You brat, you're joking with the teacher again, aren't you? Take this..."

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was halfway through her words, she saw that middle-aged female teacher from Shuchiin with gold-rimmed glasses slowly walked onto the stage.

"Next, announce the ranking of this joint exam."

The huge conference room suddenly became silent.

Under the gaze of all the students of Shuchiin and Sobu High School, the female teacher took a deep breath, her expression became very complicated, and she slowly said.

"The first place in this joint exam..."

"Sobu High School, Class A of the first year, student Yosuke."

Chapter 154: Give a victory speech, the Over-Limit Club's summer plan starts with hunting down a serial killer.

The entire hall fell silent after hearing the words spoken by the middle-aged female teacher.

The Shuchiin students looked at each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"The first place is... Sobu High School?"

"That Yosuke... took the first place in this exam?"

"Wait a minute, what about Shinomiya Kaguya? Shinomiya Kaguya... lost!?"

"Shuchiin... lost to Sobu High School?"

......

Compared to others, as the student representative of Shuchiin, on whom the school placed all its hopes, Shinomiya Kaguya herself was calm, without the slightest fluctuation in her eyes.

Perhaps, from the moment she heard that Yosuke had handed in his paper forty minutes early, she had vaguely realized the outcome of this battle.

The other party's confidence was not unreasonable arrogance, but was based on strong strength.

Looking at the Shuchiin students around her, who were looking at her with shocked and surprised expressions, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly felt a burst of bitterness in her heart.

In the eyes of these people, she lost to Yosuke.

But only Shinomiya Kaguya knew.

She didn't just lose, but was crushed in defeat.

Imagine.

If this was not a joint exam, but an internal exam of Shuchiin, would Shinomiya Kaguya, as the first in the grade, make the choice to hand in the paper early when facing Miyuki Shirogane, the second in the grade, just to surpass the other party in terms of speed of answering questions?

Impossible.

Yosuke's handing in the paper early not only meant that the quality of the answer sheet he gave in a short forty minutes was better than Shinomiya Kaguya's.

It also meant.

From beginning to end, he never thought that he would not be able to take first place.

What Yosuke was considering was no longer winning or losing.

But how to win more in this joint exam.

The gap between the two... was really too big.

Shinomiya Kaguya had not never lost before, and sometimes she would deliberately choose to release water in certain things in order to integrate into the group.

But going all out in one thing, but losing so miserably, was still a first in her life.

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression and eyes did not fluctuate at all, which was the cultivation of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family.

In a place where everyone couldn't see, her hands had already clenched the corners of her clothes, so hard that her finger joints were slightly white.

And on the Sobu High School side...
