Twelve noon was lunchtime at St. Freya High School. Students would usually eat or return to their dorms for a short nap during this time... To cultivate the students' own cooking skills and independence, the school did not set up a cafeteria. Instead, it built an all-encompassing, super-large supermarket... encouraging students to make their own lunch, which is to say, bento...
After all, compared to students eating cafeteria food, the high-level teachers at St. Freya High School believed it was better to cook for themselves. Learning to cook, in a way, enhanced the students' survival skills...
Of course... the school also had a small shop that sold bread... Students could also choose to buy food with money, but there wasn't anything too delicious.
And at this moment, in St. Freya High School's Class 1-B2...
"Tsk tsk~" Li Xuan stared at the food in his hand with some emotion. He never thought that the food he often saw in anime and manga would appear here..."This is my first time eating this yakisoba bread..." Li Xuan picked up the bread in his hand and took a heavy bite. As a food that frequently appeared in anime, Li Xuan felt somewhat excited.
"It's not as delicious as the bento senior Mei makes~" Kiana said, using her chopsticks to pick up a piece of small cucumber sushi from the bento box in front of her and stuffing it into her mouth with a blissful expression.
"..." Li Xuan looked at the white-haired furball in front of him starting to show off her affection again... He felt a little complicated. If it weren't his first day here, and if Liv hadn't gone to tidy up the room and take care of that child Yaoye under Theresa's arrangement, he wouldn't be eating bread bought from the school's shop.
"By the way... eating with us feels like a lot of pressure, Li Xuan-kun..." Mei, at the table next to Li Xuan, said softly. They had currently moved their desks to eat together with Li Xuan.
"Not at all, *burp*~" Kiana finished the food in her bento box in a few bites and let out a burp. She leaned back in her chair and said leisurely, "I feel quite good, like the moon surrounded by stars..."
"...." Bronya, who was eating her lunch in small bites, lifted her head and gave a disgusted look at the certain white-haired furball. Then, she glanced around at the gazes silently watching them from outside the classroom doors and windows, and continued to lower her head to finish her lunch.
"I thought St. Freya High School was a girls' school, but it turns out there are guys here after all..." Kiana said, crossing her leg without any regard for her image. Mei, sitting beside her, scolded her, and Kiana quickly sat properly in her chair again."..." Li Xuan's chewing motion paused for a moment. From his point of view, St. Freya High School was a girls' school, nothing wrong with that... As for why he, a male student, was enrolled in a girls' school... he would say he was tricked into it! Li Xuan looked at the dazzling pure white hair of Kiana beside him, and the image of a certain person with a loli appearance but a black-bellied heart appeared in his mind.
"I can't believe a man actually appeared!"
"Didn't they say that male bodies are not suitable for containing Honkai energy?!"
"We girls are called Valkyries... so what are boys called? Male Valkyries? That sounds so lame~"
"Does the school have any rules against dating between different genders?..."
"What if I get pregnant?"
Li Xuan's classmates were eating their lunch while quietly discussing topics that were becoming more and more open.
"......" Li Xuan speechlessly swallowed the food in his mouth, a mixture of sourness and complexity in his heart. He could feel countless scorching gazes on his back, as if they were looking at a rare animal in a zoo.... It was simply naked voyeurism.
If looks could kill, he would have probably been burned to ashes...
"Mei, when does class start?" Li Xuan swallowed the last piece of bread and asked Mei with a serious expression.
"This..." Mei took out her phone and glanced at it, saying, "There's still one minute until history class... Time really flies~" Mei said with a sigh.
"..." Am I the only one for whom the days feel like years?! Li Xuan glanced at the curious girls outside the window, whose numbers showed no sign of decreasing. He had no doubt that the moment he stepped out of the classroom, he would be 'drowned in a sea of people.'
Ever since he transferred into Class B2 last class, the students' overly welcoming, or rather, jeering voices had spread throughout the teaching building... In just one class period, it seemed his fame had spread throughout the school at rocket speed thanks to various electronic information technologies...
After all, for a boy to suddenly enroll in a girls' school... it would be pretty hard not to become famous from any angle.
"Ding ling ling!!~" Amidst Li Xuan's anticipation, the somewhat jarring school bell rang again. The first class of the afternoon, 'Honkai Chronicles,' was about to begin.
Kiana and the others beside Li Xuan nimbly moved their desks back to their own spots, took out their books, and waited for the teacher to arrive.
"Ahem... good afternoon, everyone~" A somewhat scruffy-looking middle-aged uncle wearing glasses said in a slightly flippant tone. His gaze swept across the students sitting upright in the classroom, lingering imperceptibly on Li Xuan for a moment.
"Alright, everyone turn your books to page two hundred and fifty. Let's first review the history of the Eastern Honkai that we talked about before," the history teacher said slowly, leaning his hands on the podium.
"...Swish swish~" The sound of pages turning was like the rustling of ripe rice ears in the countryside. Li Xuan could only watch silently as the other students took out their books and turned the pages. He had just arrived today and didn't have a textbook yet.
"Well~ Li Xuan, you can borrow my book for now," Kiana, to Li Xuan's surprise, suddenly handed him a history book and said softly.
"Mmm!" Li Xuan was shocked. Kiana was actually a warm-hearted and helpful person?!
"Take it..." Kiana showed a warm smile, forcefully stuffed the history book into Li Xuan's hands, and then... quickly moved her stool to Mei's seat to read with her...
"Hey, hey... Kiana, don't touch me randomly," Mei said with some shy anger.
"..." A mouthful of dog food, completely caught off guard! Li Xuan speechlessly looked at the somewhat tattered history book in his hands...
"Forget it..." Li Xuan sighed, opened the history book, and turned to page two hundred and fifty as the teacher instructed. Then he casually glanced at the contents of the book...
On this day, his three views were severely damaged...
