Only I Have the Law: Tokyo Fantasy Daily Life

Page 20

Yuki Maeda nodded obediently.

As Qingze left the classroom, several of her close female friends immediately surrounded her.

"Yuki-chan, why do you think the teacher suddenly wanted to see you?"

"I do not know."

Yuki Maeda shook her head, a hint of confusion on her face.

Another girl, her hands clasped to her chest, exclaimed with longing, "That's wonderful! I also wish the teacher would call me over privately and speak to me gently and kindly!"

"Hey! That's a teacher! What kind of filthy nonsense are you thinking about all day long!"

"What does it matter? We're not going to be high school girls forever; we'll graduate sooner or later!"

Listening to her friends' chattering conversation, Yuki Maeda gave a helpless, bitter smile.

She genuinely didn't know how to respond to this topic, but she understood why they thought that way.

After all, Teacher Qingze is young and handsome, and he doesn't put on airs with his students, which is quite different from those older or stern teachers.

However, she didn't have those romantic thoughts in her mind.

Unlike her classmates who come from wealthy families and can indulge in romantic fantasies, she would be a girl who only has a good figure and good looks if she dared to slack off.

In the future, I will most likely become a "canary" kept in a glamorous cage under someone's arrangement.

Yuki Maeda doesn't like that kind of future that's been set up.

She always remembered what her father had said: skillfully using the strength of others to achieve a goal is completely different from relying on others entirely.

……

When the bell rang to end the fourth period, Yuki Maeda carefully packed her schoolbag and carried it to the faculty office.

Today is Saturday, and classes are only scheduled until the morning.

In the afternoons, usually only members of sports clubs choose to stay at school for training.

Although it is an all-girls school, it still has many active sports clubs and is a regular participant in various national women's competitions.

However, compared to the highly anticipated national boys' high school tournament, the girls' high school tournament receives far less media attention.

Yuki Maeda is the manager of the soccer club, and she needs to supervise the team's training in the afternoon.

Nevertheless, she still made it a habit to bring her schoolbag with her after the fourth period, and she never found it troublesome, even if it meant carrying it a bit further.

Chapter 24 Don't Believe a Big Mouth's Oath

The faculty and staff offices are located on the fifth floor of the teaching building.

As the class monitor, Maeda Yuuki was no stranger to this place.

She is naturally helpful and often takes the initiative to deliver the collected homework to the teachers' office for the subject committee members. As a result, the teachers of Class A in the first year of high school are all very familiar with her.

She walked into the faculty office with practiced ease, first politely greeting each of the teachers she encountered along the way, and then walked to Qingze's desk, bowing slightly and saying, "Teacher, what can I do for you?"

Qingze picked up a printed test paper from the table and handed it to her, explaining, "I plan to conduct a math diagnostic test next Monday to understand the students' basic level so that I can develop a more targeted learning plan for them later."

Maeda Yuki carried her schoolbag in one hand and took the test paper in the other. Her eyes quickly scanned the twenty questions on it, and she was a little puzzled: Why did they call her over for something like this?

Aozawa then revealed his true plan: "Wait a minute, find an opportunity to leak these questions to Matsuo."

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Maeda Yuki's face.

She and Yumeko Matsuo are true friends, not just superficial sisters.

But precisely because of this, she understands a golden rule better than anyone else.

If there's a secret, you must never tell Matsuo Yumeko.

Telling her is like making a server-wide announcement to all players in the game.

Yumeko Matsuo is a natural "loudspeaker." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she always manages to magically spread other people's and her own secrets.

If the exam questions were leaked to her, it would be equivalent to informing all the girls in the class, except for Hoshino Saori and Yatohime, who are not included in this "all class".

Qingze smiled slightly and explained, "If I directly ask them to memorize these key points, they probably won't take it seriously."

But if the exam questions are leaked, they will try their best to memorize the answers.

Then we'll use another set of real test papers to conduct the test.

This way, they can both remember these core knowledge points and their true mathematical level can be measured.

"Oh, teacher, you really are... cunning."

"That's called strategy."

Qingze smiled and corrected him.

Maeda Yuki smiled, her admiration for the young teacher growing stronger.

From kindergarten to high school, she encountered many teachers, many of whom cared for her deeply.

But that kind of care is often limited to "top students" like her.

Most teachers choose to ignore students with poor grades or behavioral problems, leaving them to "fend for themselves."

Yuki Maeda admitted that some of her classmates did indeed have problems.

But isn't school precisely the place for "teaching and nurturing people"?

Is it too cruel to give up on students who are temporarily lagging behind, without even trying to teach them?

She had always hoped to meet a teacher who would do everything in their power to save every student.

Now, she has finally met him.

"Please rest assured, teacher, I will definitely complete the task successfully!"

Yuki Maeda straightened up, her expression becoming extremely serious.

The green tag above her head, "Saintess of Light," began to flash, and a beam of green light shot out, entering Qingze's brow.

Qingze's smile became even more genuine, and he nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Maeda Yuki quickly wrote down the questions on the test paper, handed it back to Aozawa, bowed again, and then turned and left the faculty office.

When she arrived at the shoe section on the first floor, her four friends were already waiting there.

Matsuo Yumeko was the first to excitedly approach, eagerly asking, "Yuki-chan, did the teacher want to see you because there's something good?"

"The teacher plans to give a math quiz next Monday."

"Ah?! No!"

Matsuo Yumeko immediately let out a wail, and her whole body went limp.

Another observant friend noticed that Yuuki Maeda's expression was unusual and asked, "Yuuki, you seem to have something on your mind?"

“Sigh,” Yuki Maeda sighed at just the right moment, looking embarrassed, “Actually… I accidentally saw the test questions on the teacher’s desk just now.”

I wanted to explain to the teacher, but he seemed to be in a hurry, and I didn't have a chance to say it.

Upon hearing this, Matsuo Yumeko's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had grasped a lifeline. She immediately hugged Maeda Yuuki's arm and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Yuuki~! You are my dearest, dearest older sister!"

Could you give me a tiny hint about the question? I promise!

She raised her hand as if swearing, "I promise I won't tell anyone! If I break this promise, I'll..."

"alright!"

Yuki Maeda quickly interrupted her.

This question is destined to be "leaked". What if the oath she made really comes true?

"I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else!"

She lowered her voice, feigning seriousness.

Matsuo Yumeko nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

Yuki Maeda then quietly told the twenty questions to her four friends.

Afterwards, everyone changed into outdoor shoes and headed to their respective clubs.

After a while, everyone in the class except for Hoshino Saori and Yato-hime knew that there would be a math test next Monday, and they even knew what the questions were.

……

Time slipped by unnoticed, and before we knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Aozawa only found two red name tags outside before receiving a message from Tsukishima Chizuru.

He stopped searching, sent his location, and then stood by the roadside to wait.

He was not far from Ikebukuro Station. It was a Saturday afternoon, and the streets were bustling with people. Everywhere you looked, there were stylish and beautiful young girls, in groups of three or five, laughing and chatting.

Qingze, dressed in an expensive suit, looked even taller and more slender than before. Coupled with his handsome and outstanding appearance, he naturally attracted the attention of many women passing by as he stood there alone.

He was already used to this and simply waited calmly.

After a while, four girls who looked quite bold pushed and shoved each other as they came forward.

One of them struck up a conversation with a grin: "Handsome, are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes."

Qingze responded with a polite smile.

A blush rose on the girl's face, and she continued, "Well... what a coincidence, I'm also waiting for someone."

"Pfft..."

Her awkward attempt to strike up a conversation immediately drew snickers from her companions.

The girl who had approached him blushed even more and stammered, "Um... could we exchange contact information?"

Qingze smiled and said, "Sorry, the person I've been waiting for has arrived."

The four girls turned around following his gaze and saw a sleek, luxurious-looking tram silently glide to the side of the road and come to a smooth stop.
