Chương 41: I thought I could become a master, but this is all?

"Your brother wanted to protect you, but he didn't consider your feelings and wishes, nor did he believe you could make a change."

It can only be said that although he fulfilled his duties as an elder brother, he did not do them well enough.

Hearing Yang Cheng speak so eloquently, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yang Cheng just mentioned that you also have a younger sister, right?"

I wonder what kind of person your sister is? How do you and your brother usually get along?

Yang Cheng has no younger sister in this world.

The sister he mentioned earlier is actually Nami from the One Piece world.

"My sister? She's probably quite a mischievous one."

Although there are many shortcomings, I don't think that's a bad thing. After all, advantages and disadvantages are part of her.

As I said before, everyone has their own flaws, and no one can be truly perfect, not even the brother you admire.

True excellence is simply striving to surpass those who came before. Facing one's own shortcomings and striving to improve upon one's current abilities—that is progress.

After hearing what Yang Cheng said, Lingyin's original confusion disappeared a lot.

"Thank you so much for tonight, Yang Cheng. I've learned a lot from our conversation."

"It's nothing serious, just some trivial inspirational quotes."

"By the way, you called me out tonight, you must have something important to say, right? What is it?"

Only when he remembered why he would be meeting Horikita Suzune here tonight did Yosei recall his important business.

When faced with Yang Cheng's question, Horikita Suzune was momentarily speechless, stammering and unsure how to respond.

The main reason she called Yang Cheng out tonight was, of course, to decisively end his relationship with her.

But after experiencing what had just happened, Yang Cheng first helped himself understand his brother's true intentions, and then comforted himself in that way.

Isn't it a bit too much to say something like "reject" to the other person now?

Previously, Horikita Suzune thought that she and Yosei were just ordinary classmates, and it wouldn't matter if she spoke bluntly to him.

But since they had just helped her so much, it was clearly inappropriate to bring up those harsh words from before.

"Um... actually, the main reason I asked you out was to ask you about your thoughts on Class D's upcoming midterm exams."

However, since so much has happened tonight, let's discuss this together next time we get together with Ayanokoji-san.

After giving that answer, Horikita Suzune didn't give Yosei any further chance to speak and turned to leave.

That's right, after some hesitation, Lingyin ultimately failed to achieve her real goal of getting Yang Cheng out tonight.

She felt that she could wait until a suitable opportunity arose before subtly expressing her thoughts to Yang Cheng about this matter.

As Horikita Suzune jogged away, Yosei stood alone, bewildered in the wind.

What is all this nonsense...?

After meeting with Kikyo Kushida and Suzune Horikita, Yosei felt that everything that happened tonight was strange and bizarre.

Kikyo Kushida invited him out with the intention of framing him, but ended up getting herself involved instead.

Horikita Suzune asked him out, and Yosei initially thought she was going to talk about Class D, but he ended up meeting her older brother, the student council president.

Furthermore, judging from Horikita Suzune's reaction just now, it's clear that the reason she initially contacted him wasn't to talk about Class D.

The two consecutive unexpected events left Yang Cheng feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and he hesitated about whether to go see his last beautiful teacher, Chabashira Sae.

Due to his busy schedule, Harumaru had to postpone Karuizawa Megumi's invitation until tomorrow.

And tonight's final journey will be with Chabashira Sae, whom I arranged to meet in the school's multimedia classroom.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Cheng finally decided to go see the beautiful teacher who was at least 36-E.

When he arrived at the meeting place and entered the dimly lit multimedia classroom, he discovered that he was not the only person Chabashira Sae had asked for.

A certain expressionless boy was sitting in a seat to the side, while their magnanimous and beautiful teacher was sitting in the row in front of them.

"Nam-gu, it seems she's got her eye on you too."

Yang Cheng didn't mind Lu Ge's emotionless greeting, and instead shrugged and said, "Who says otherwise? I just received a text message from Teacher Chazhu."

And the meeting was in a dimly lit classroom where no one was around. I was actually hoping for a thrilling forbidden romance or something.

I never expected that you, Ayanokouji-san, would be here too. So things are probably a little different from what I initially thought.

Or perhaps... Chabashira-sensei is more playful than I imagined, and wants a third one...

Before Yang Cheng could finish speaking, Chazuki Sae, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't hold back any longer.

She stood up abruptly, crossed her arms, and glared at Yang Cheng, coldly saying, "Nan Jiu, if you continue to spout nonsense, I can expel you from school on the grounds of insulting the class teacher."

When threatened by Chabashira Sae, Yosei simply shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

He's not like Brother Lu, who only needs to compromise with Chabashira Sae because his scumbag father chased him to the school.

He's living an extraordinary life now. As a graduate of a higher education institution, he's undoubtedly a social elite, but for Yang Cheng, this lousy school isn't absolutely necessary.

Seeing Ayanokouji and Chabashira Sae present, Yosei roughly understood what the two had talked about before.

The reason why Brother Lu is so awesome is entirely because he received almost inhuman training when he was a child.

As part of his political father's "comeback" plan, Lu Ge learned all about life in the "White Room," an institution that almost deprived him of his human rights, during his childhood.

This includes academic knowledge, martial arts, physical skills, self-defense techniques, interpersonal skills, and other things that others may spend their entire lives learning.

In other words, Lu Ge is a man-made genius. His painful childhood experiences shaped him into a shrewd strategist, a realist, and a master of planning.

He entered this school to escape his father's control, to understand the true meaning of "equality," and to explore what true "strength" is.

Now Ayanokouji's father has found the school and wants Ayanokouji to drop out.

Chabashira Sae used her father's threats as leverage to coerce Roji into leading Class D to Class A.

Ayaka needs someone to shield him from the pressure from his father, while Chabashira Sae wants to make up for the regrets of his high school days, so the two reach an agreement.

As Yang Cheng just said, he is not Brother Lu, and without external pressure, he has no obligation to help Chabashira Sae make up for her regrets.
