"Kurahashi?"
"Isn't that …"
"Hey, hey, hey …"
In the auditorium, the private students who clearly heard Kyoko Kobashi's self-introduction all started to clamor, causing a sudden uproar.
That was also a very normal thing.
Since the other party called herself "Kurahashi," wasn't her identity obvious?
"Presumably, everyone has already guessed it."
Standing on the podium, Kyōko Kurahashi turned a blind eye to the reaction of the audience and continued to introduce herself with a completely unchanged expression and tone.
"Yes, my surname is indeed Kurahashi. Although it feels a bit like boasting, I still want to make it clear to everyone that the current head of the Yin Yang Hall, Kurahashi Genji, is my father, and the principal standing next to me is my grandmother. I am the only daughter of this generation of the Kurahashi family. Like everyone else, I will enter the private school this year and become a freshman."
Kyōko Kurahashi declared in an upright manner, which made Kurahashi Miyo smile a little bitterly. The private students in the audience became even more noisy.
There was no other way.
"Originally, from my standpoint, I didn't want to say such a thing. Otherwise, I would be suspected of wanting to rely on my family background to become famous. But after entering the private school, I found one thing. That is, no one paid attention to me at all."
Kyōko Kurahashi didn't hide anything and said everything in her heart.
But this was also the truth.
Originally, with Kyōko Kurahashi's identity and the top three in the entrance exam, once the list was posted, even if she wasn't at the top, she would still be noticed by the private students because of the surname "Kurahashi."
Under normal circumstances, as a descendant of the Kurahashi family, the daughter of the head of the Yin Yang Hall, and the granddaughter of the principal of the Yin Yang School, as long as the name Kyōko Kurahashi appeared in public, then the matter of the daughter of the Kurahashi family entering the Yin Yang School would have been widely spread.
However, this time, Kyōko Kurahashi's limelight was completely stolen. She had so many reasons to be noticed, but in the end, no private student noticed her.
Because …
"The First Seat of the freshmen this time is indeed very special. I admit that he has the ability to attract everyone's attention, but on the other hand, I also want to tell everyone that he isn't the only one who performed outstandingly in this batch of freshmen."
Kyōko Kurahashi declared to all the private students present.
"I will treat him as my opponent and compete with him in the coming days. I will definitely not lose to him. Even if he is the next clan leader of the Cangqiao Ancestral Clan, I will still defeat him fair and square."
At this point, Kyōko Kurahashi shifted her gaze to a young man in the audience.
Before this, all the private students present seemed to have guessed who Kyōko Kurahashi was targeting. They all turned to look at him.
At this moment, Rozen was once again under the gaze of all the private students present, and also under the gaze of Kyōko Kurahashi. There was a trace of helplessness on his face.
From Kyōko Kurahashi's gaze, Rozen perceived countless emotions, which eventually turned into a strong fighting spirit that enveloped him.
Then …
"Qiu Guan of the Earth Imperial Clan."
Kyōko Kurahashi held the microphone in one hand and pointed at Rozen with the other. She spoke in a tone that seemed to be full of hostility and extremely unkind.
"You are my opponent."
"So, wake up."
Kyōko Kurahashi's voice rang clearly throughout the audience.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh —!"
This made the private students in the audience silent at first, and then they cheered.
Obviously, Kyōko Kurahashi's declaration made the private students, who had sensed the smell of gunpowder, could not help but cheer for this unexpected situation.
"This child …"
Kurahashi Miyo still smiled bitterly, but there was a smile in her eyes.
"Oh, oh, it seems that the next lesson will become very interesting."
Daisuke Zhen stood under the podium and spoke in a frivolous tone. But like Kurahashi Miyo, he did not feel that this situation was a headache at all. Instead, he laughed as if it was interesting.
Looking at the reaction and cheers of the audience, Rozen could only be speechless.
Even Rozen would never have thought that his first day in private school would be like this.
Moreover, what happened next was beyond Rozen's expectations.
"… Kyōko Kurahashi, right?"
When such a voice sounded, for some reason, all the private students seemed to be strangled. They instantly stopped moving, and the scene returned to silence.
The decibel of the voice wasn't high, and it could even be said to be very low and weak. It was almost impossible for it to be heard amidst the cheers just now, but the incredible thing was that the voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
The reason was very simple.
Because, unlike the other people's voices that were full of excitement and excitement, this voice was cold as if it had fallen to the freezing point, full of pressure.
Therefore, everyone's voice stopped abruptly.
Even Kyōko Kurahashi was slightly startled and looked at the source of the voice.
Rozen was even more startled and looked to his side.
"Xia … Natsume?"
Rozen said in a trembling voice.
The voice just now was Natsume's doing.
He saw that Natsume's face was completely devoid of the previous tension and worry. Instead, it was replaced by an unquestionable expression and sharp eyes.
Rozen had never seen Natsume like this.
But this was indeed Natsume's performance at this moment.
Natsume ignored the startled Rozen and shot his sharp eyes straight at Kyōko Kurahashi.
"I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now."
Natsume seemed to take a step forward and spoke resolutely to Kyōko Kurahashi on the stage.
In response, Kyōko Kurahashi seemed a little frightened, but she stared at Natsume, unwilling to show weakness.
"What?" Kyōko Kurahashi said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Natsume shook his head and said, "But, whether you are the only daughter of the Kurahashi family or not, it is still too early for you to challenge Qiuguan."
"Too … too early?" Kyōko Kurahashi was stunned at first and then said angrily, "Are you saying that I am not qualified?"
Natsume actually nodded at Kyōko Kurahashi's words.
"Of course." Natsume met Kyōko Kurahashi's gaze and said bluntly, "Qiuguan is in first place, and you are in third place. I understand that you don't want to lose to him, but don't forget, before that, you have to pass me first."
After being reminded by Natsume, everyone present reacted.
Yes.
Although Rozen was in first place, Natsume was also in second place.
"It is still too early for you to challenge my master."
Xia Mu displayed an aggressiveness that he had never displayed before.
Kyōko Kurahashi was so angry that she bit her lips and glared at Natsume.
Natsume stared back fearlessly.
The gazes of the two young girls met in mid-air. It was as if sparks were produced from the friction between their gazes.
Witnessing this scene with their own eyes, everyone present looked at each other in dismay.
Even Rozen couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"… What is going on?"
