Since Chiaki said that he didn't have to rush through the love letters, and that he could read them during lunch break, Seiji put them away in his backpack for the time being.
During class time.
Seiji, who was immersed in his "study," felt a strong gaze on him, so he instinctively looked over and saw... a purple-haired boy.
Takashi Kobayashi.
Kobayashi saw that he was looking at him, so he averted his gaze and looked away.
Seiji was a little confused. Kobayashi was one of the students that he had "heroically" saved on Friday night. Even though that incident was a little out of the ordinary, objectively speaking, he did save two students.
He was wearing a mask at the time... and no one from the police or the man in the suit came looking for him for two days.
Searching on the internet, there was indeed a cellphone video of that night. However, it was unknown whether it was because the scene was too exaggerated, or because things developed too strangely, there were more people who suspected that it was deliberately filmed, and the number of views on the video was not very high.
The related Weibo post had even fewer views, and it didn't make a splash at all.
Things like becoming famous overnight as a masked hero didn't happen.
Seiji thought that was the end of it.
But now, Takashi Kobayashi was silently paying attention to him.
Could it be... that he was exposed!?
Seiji was a little nervous. Did Kobayashi recognize him as that person? Or was it just a guess? Or was it just a coincidence, and Kobayashi wasn't thinking about anything at all, and just happened to stare blankly in his direction?
Even if he was recognized... it wouldn't matter, right? He did save them, so it should be fine if he and Kahei Watanabe kept it a secret... right?
He decided to wait and see what happened.
Since he didn't know what Takashi Kobayashi meant, Seiji decided to stop thinking.
After class.
Takashi Kobayashi didn't talk to Seiji, so he looked at him, only to see that he was chatting with Kahei Watanabe as usual, and nothing seemed out of place.
Seiji retracted his gaze and prepared to go to the bathroom.
Just as he was about to leave the classroom, a tall and sturdy man appeared in front of him.
Seiji was quite tall, and this man … was probably Senpai, right? It was half a head taller than him and looked a bit fierce, like a bear.
Seiji glanced at the other party, feeling a little puzzled. However, he did not intend to be a busybody and was about to walk around the other party.
However, he was stopped.
"You're … the legendary transfer student, Harano Seigo, right?" the burly senior asked.
Legend … When did I become a legend!? Seiji was a little confused.
"I'm the head of the soccer club, Daiki Takasugi." Without waiting for Seiji to respond, the burly senior continued, "After hearing about your heroic deeds in the tennis and basketball departments, I am convinced that you are the talent that our football department needs the most!"
"… Huh?" Seiji blinked.
Pa! Takasuga-senpai suddenly placed his hands on his junior's shoulders.
"Please, come to the football department! We're not a club like the tennis club or the basketball club. We're all hot-blooded real men! Come to us, let's be youthful and hot-blooded, and aim for the National League! "
His words were loud and clear.
Everyone who passed by in the corridor or in the classroom heard it.
"That's Takasuga-senpai from the soccer club … he's here to persuade Harano -san."
"As expected, he came. After all, Harano -san is so good at sports … I heard that he single-handedly defeated two clubs!"
"I heard that as well. Is it true? The tennis and basketball clubs have been destroyed by him … "
"That's right, it's all true. The tennis club has completely collapsed, and the basketball club's morale has been completely crushed!"
"Amazing, as expected of Harano-kun ~"
"The destroyer of clubs …"
Whispers rang out everywhere.
'How did such an exaggerated rumor appear!?' Seiji had a dumbfounded expression.
Due to the incident with the tennis and basketball clubs, he expected that he would have a bad reputation, but … the destroyer of clubs? What the hell was with this chuunibyou name!?
Before he knew it, he seemed to have become a legend …
Takasuga-senpai was still staring at him with a burning gaze.
Seiji slowly opened his mouth and was about to say something when another voice interrupted him.
"Let go, Takasuga, the legendary transfer student should belong to our volleyball club!"
A tall, slender, and handsome senior in sportswear quietly appeared. He had a single ponytail on his head and was dressed in sportswear.
"Your soccer club's lineup is already complete. You don't need another freshman, do you? Do you want to offend the seniors and force a freshman to join the main team, or do you intend to let a talent like Harano -san sit on the bench? "
The ponytailed senpai laughed coldly and hit the nail on the head.
"But our volleyball club is different. We still lack a main substitute … although it's only a substitute, there's definitely a chance for him to play! If he performs well enough to convince everyone, he can become the official main team, because here, everything depends on strength!
"Harano -san, I'm the volleyball club's captain, Shota Eguchi. I sincerely invite you to join our volleyball club!"
As he spoke, Eguchi-senpai smiled, revealing a row of shiny teeth.
Seiji: "…"
"Heh, it seems that I'm late, but it doesn't matter. I believe that the legendary transfer student will make the right choice."
Another short but sturdy senpai with hair standing on end appeared.
"For a talent like Harano -san who has incomparable stamina, the track and field club is the most suitable for him!
"Track and field is different from pure team sports like volleyball or soccer. There are team sports as well as individual sports, and it's most suitable for an outstanding talent like Harano-san to display his full potential!"
"He can help the team reach a higher level, and he can also participate in individual events without worrying about being held back by others!
"So, come to the track and field club, Harano -san. I, the track and field club's captain, Kogoro Fujimoto, can guarantee that you will shine in the track and field arena!"
The short senpai Fujimoto said in a generous manner.
Seiji didn't know what expression he was wearing at the moment.
"The volleyball, soccer, and track and field clubs are all here … the presidents of three big clubs!"
"Is this Harano-san's true power? The destroyer of clubs … "
"Harano -san is so amazing, this is the first time I've seen such a scene ~"
"Which side will he choose?"
The onlookers whispered non-stop.
"Junior Harano! Come to me! "
The senpai were all aggressive, exuding a stifling and unbearable atmosphere.
'Someone save me!!!'
Seiji screamed in his heart.
…
With great difficulty, Seiji finally made it clear that he didn't want to join any club for the time being and persuaded the three senpai to leave.
However, other clubs still came one after another.
The baseball club, swimming club, rugby club, racing club, weightlifting club, wrestling club, gymnastics club, rock climbing club, handball club, table tennis club, badminton club … almost all the big sports clubs were here!
Many of them were attended by the presidents, vice presidents, or managers. There were also the aerobics club, the idol club, the public relations club, and so on … some inexplicable clubs.
'So there are so many clubs in this school …'
This was the only thought left in Seiji's mind as he laid on the table in exhaustion.
"Hahaha, you're so popular, Seigo! You've completely become a hot commodity among the sports clubs ~ "Chiaki couldn't stop laughing.
"No wonder, your physical strength is as strong as a monster, and your reflexes are also amazing. In the tennis and basketball clubs, you crushed your opponents with your physical strength alone.
"Once you learn the knack of a certain sport, you'll instantly become an ace, maybe the ace of all aces! As long as you don't get dragged down by others, it'll be easy for you to win an award or something like that ~ "
Mika silently nodded. It was obvious that she agreed with Seiji's assessment.
"But I really don't want to join any club for the time being …" Seiji laid on the table and groaned.
As an otaku, he didn't really like sports. All his previous training was to increase his stats. Playing tennis was purely for experience and experimentation, and playing basketball was to farm points.
He didn't really like a certain sport, but joining a club related to it made him feel restricted, and it would be rude to the other club members who truly loved the sport.
'In the future … I shouldn't go to any sports clubs to experience activities, right? But I still want to farm some action points occasionally, especially this week … What should I do? '
As he was thinking, time flew by, and it was lunch break.
