The Start-of-Term Ceremony was over.
Although he didn't know if it could be called a smooth ending, at least there were no more disputes after that. Kurahashi Miyo, the head of the school, stepped in and stopped the confrontation between Natsume and Kyoko.
Under such circumstances, the private students left the underground Incantation Practice Field one by one. But the atmosphere was different from the previous silence. Instead, they chatted happily as they left, as if they had just watched a wonderful movie. They didn't stop for a long time.
As for Rozen and Natsume, they also left the Incantation Practice Field and headed for the first-year classroom.
But …
"What's wrong with you? Natsume? "
So Rozen couldn't help asking Natsume along the way.
"Why did you provoke others?"
Rozen was puzzled, and he asked again.
In the past, Natsume had never shown such aggressiveness like today, so Rozen was also a little scared.
Besides, Natsume was obviously afraid of strangers. He just pretended to be serious in front of others, but in fact, he was just forcing himself. Why did he provoke Kyōko Kurahashi in front of so many people today?
Rozen was really curious about this.
Unfortunately, Natsume didn't seem to have any self-reflection.
"Who asked that private student from the Kurahashi family to go against Qiu Guan?"
Natsume said this angrily, which made Rozen feel distressed.
Although Kyōko Kurahashi did go against Rozen in public, thinking of how he was treated, it seemed normal.
As the heir of the Kurahashi family, the daughter of the head of the Yin Yang Hall, and the granddaughter of the head of the Yin Yang School, Kyōko Kurahashi was bound to be the most eye-catching person once she entered the school. Not to mention that her ability was enough to get the third place in the entrance exam. If it wasn't for Rozen and Natsume, the first place would have been in her bag.
She had a family background, talent, strength, and even her appearance was one in a million. She was like an impeccable star, but until now, she had been ignored and the limelight was taken away by Rozen. It would be strange if she wasn't angry.
Therefore, for Kyōko Kurahashi's declaration in public, Rozen didn't think too much.
After all, the other party came to declare war openly, instead of playing tricks or sneering. Otherwise, with Rozen's temper, he would definitely teach the other party a lesson.
Because of this, Rozen didn't mind Kyōko Kurahashi's targeting. On the contrary, he felt that it was natural for such a thing to happen.
But Natsume couldn't stand it anymore.
"If you're not as good as others, you should just admit it. What's the point of doing that?"
Natsume kept nagging.
"Qiu Guan has already received the attention of all the private students. Doing that kind of thing is simply pushing Qiu Guan to the teeth of the storm. As Qiu Guan's shikigami, I can't just watch."
Because of this, Natsume became hostile to Kyōko Kurahashi.
Indeed, Kyōko Kurahashi's actions would push Rozen to the teeth of the storm. It was bound to make all the private students in Yin Yang School talk about it, and it would make the rumors about Rozen even more complicated.
But Rozen's matter was already complicated. Even without Kyōko Kurahashi's targeting, the private students wouldn't stop talking about him. Now, it was just pouring oil on the fire, making it burn a little more, but the essence wouldn't change.
Although Natsume's indignation wasn't unreasonable, he felt that she wasn't like her usual self.
Based on his understanding of Natsume, Rozen made such a deduction after some hesitation.
"Do you hate Kyōko Kurahashi?"
Rozen asked this question.
From Rozen's point of view, the main reason why Natsume was so hostile to Kyōko Kurahashi was probably because of this.
“.....”
Natsume suddenly became speechless and lost her voice.
However, after a while, Natsume still spoke.
"… I don't know why." Natsume said in a low voice, "Seeing Kyōko Kurahashi targeting you like that, I feel very uncomfortable, and I really want to frustrate her spirit."
This was the reason why Xia Mu was so uncharacteristically aggressive.
"You …"
So Rozen sighed.
But Natsume also showed her stubborn side.
"In short, if the daughter of the Kurahashi family wants to deal with Qiuguan, she has to go through me first. My ranking is also higher than hers, and I'm Qiuguan's shikigami. There's no reason to ignore her challenge."
Natsume expressed this without any explanation.
"Okay." Rozen could only roll his eyes and compromise: "Then remember to restrain yourself, don't go overboard."
Kyōko Kurahashi was able to obtain third place in the entrance exam, which proved that her strength and talent were not low. At least, among this year's new students, she was only second to Rozen and Natsume.
No matter what, she was the only daughter of the number one family in the curse world, so it was not surprising that she had such strength and talent.
However, Natsume was still better than Kyōko Kurahashi, right?
The results of the entrance exam proved this point.
In addition, Rozen also understood Natsume's strength, so Rozen didn't believe that Natsume would lose to Kyōko Kurahashi.
"If she doesn't have a protective spell, then don't use Thunderbolt, okay?"
Rozen reminded.
"I will try my best."
Natsume only gave such a reply, it seemed that he was really hostile to Kyōko Kurahashi.
Of course, from Kyōko Kurahashi's point of view, Natsume must be a hindrance and an eyesore. Both sides must be unhappy with each other now, right?
"Women are so troublesome."
Rozen could only sigh.
Not long after, the two arrived at the classroom together.
"— — — —"
The noisy classroom suddenly became quiet after Rozen and Natsume arrived.
One by one, the students who were chatting excitedly saw Rozen and Natsume walking in, and the volume of their mouths suddenly dropped.
Rozen didn't care about this, he was just helpless as if he had a headache.
“.....”
“.....”
Beside him, Natsume and a girl in the classroom were staring at each other. The hostility and unhappiness in their eyes could not be eliminated.
Rozen looked at Kyōko Kurahashi, who was sitting in one of the seats, and Natsume, who was next to her, staring at each other. He scratched his head and didn't know whether he should stop them or not.
Fortunately …
"It's almost time for class. Young master and young lady of the Tuyu Clan, it's time for you to return to your seat, okay?"
As the class tutor, Otomo Jin walked in from the door with a cane and said this with a smile.
Only then did Natsume retract his gaze and sat down in the last row of the classroom with Rozen.
"It's good to be energetic. I hope you can continue to be like this."
Otomo Jin nodded with satisfaction. It was unknown whether he was gloating or fanning the flames. Then, he walked to the podium.
Rozen sat next to Natsume and looked at Otomo Jin. Then, he noticed a very obvious gaze.
Rozen immediately turned his eyes and looked over, but he only saw the back of the other person's head.
Looking straight at the back of the head of the only daughter of the Kurahashi family, who didn't seem to be looking at him but was listening carefully to the class, Rozen rubbed his eyebrows.
"What will happen next?"
