The Seventh Week

Chapter 28

Sako pushed open the door to the classroom and heard Takeshi's loud voice. "What's there to ask? You're so annoying!"

Zuo Zi didn't know what was going on as she walked in. She was surrounded by a group of people who had just surrounded Boaster.

"Sako, you were so cool the other day!"

"I heard that you defeated the Minotaur by yourself that day?"

"Sako, did you suddenly awaken your personality?"

Zuo Zi was at a loss as she faced the passionate and expectant eyes. She stood there in a daze.

Takeshi chuckled. Idiot.

"It's not a personality, it's ninjutsu."

His eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons. "Actually, I'm a ninja."

"Pfft, so Osako is a chuunibyou?

Hahaha, so cute. "Fen Ling patted Sako's head excitedly and pulled him into a soft embrace.

"So- softer."

…

Sako walked side by side with Dehisa while carrying his homework. He turned his head and saw the boy's hesitant expression. Sako paused and stopped in his tracks. "What's the matter?"

Green Valley was startled and took a step back, waving his hands in embarrassment. "No, nothing." Then, a conflicted emotion appeared in his eyes.

Seeing how Sako was waiting for him, he hesitated for a moment and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Um, I want to ask Sako, how did you suddenly awaken your personality?"

Even if it seemed stupid, he wanted to obtain a personality even if there was only a slim chance!

So that's why?

Sako sighed.

He couldn't lie to him, but if he told him the truth, this child would be sad …

There was no such thing as fairness in this world.

"It wasn't suddenly awakened."

"Huh?"

"It's innate."

Although it's cruel, as expected, it's better not to have such expectations since you have no personality, Dehisa.

"But …" Sako smiled and gently stroked Dehisa's hair. "I believe that even if Dehisa has no personality, he can still become a hero."

A ray of sunlight shone into Sako's eyes through the corridor window. Dehisa would never forget that scene for many years.

At that time, she might have been stupidly blushing, and her hands and feet were stiff, unable to do anything.

But after that, every time he felt disappointed, every time he doubted himself, every time he wanted to give up, he would think of the young girl who died without any illness. She gently told him that even if he had no personality, he could still become a hero.

Sako rested his chin on his hand as he stared bitterly at the test paper in front of him.

Between handing in a blank paper or using the Sharingan to cheat, Sako reluctantly chose the blank paper option.

Two days later, when Zuo Zi was called to the disciplinary teacher's office, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Opening the door, Sako saw the stern face of the disciplinary teacher and decided to confess.

"… So, whether it's math, English, or even Japanese, you don't know?"

Sako nodded, his face was full of confidence, without a trace of guilt.

The disciplinary teacher frowned, a ray of light reflected off his gold-rimmed spectacles.

Kota Aizawa, who was once again called in for a mission, looked at the teacher with a pair of dispirited eyes. "So, what did Sako do this time?"

Unexpectedly, the disciplinary teacher held his hand with both hands, a disgusted and sticky expression appeared on his face. "No, I've misunderstood Sako."

Eh, what happened …

— —

"You're quitting school?

Are you kidding me? "

After packing up her bag, Zuo Zi was about to push open the classroom door when she bumped into the tycoon who was walking in from outside.

"Mhmm." Sako nodded calmly and walked past Takeshi.

"Don't tell me you're scared out of your wits and don't dare to come to school anymore!" Grabbing Zuo Zi's wrist, Bao Hao looked at Zuo Zi suspiciously.

"Ka-chan, don't miss me too much, I'll come visit you during the holidays." Sako waved her hand and smiled.

"Who would miss you!"

Takeshi let go of his hand out of reflex, frowned as he watched Sako leave. What the hell, she just transferred here.

Sako followed behind Kota Aizawa with her backpack. She was a bit scared.

She didn't expect to be asked to quit just because she handed in a blank paper!

She curled up into a ball and didn't even dare to breathe.

"I'm sorry."

"… Eh?"

Kota Aizawa turned around with a serious expression. "It's my fault, I didn't understand your situation better."

He scratched his long hair. He was apologizing on behalf of Ourumit. Who would've thought that this kid didn't even go to school.

He should've paid more attention to her.

Sako looked at Kota Aizawa in shock. This person was apologizing to her?

Sako stood on her tiptoes and touched his forehead with her palm.

After touching the tiger's butt, Zuo Zi immediately turned around and ran away, pretending that nothing had happened, leaving Aizawa behind with a confused expression.

He touched his forehead and the corners of his mouth curled up unknowingly. She was really a child.

When Dehisa came to the classroom the next day, he saw that the familiar seat was empty. Was Sako … late?

"Trash for a long time. Don't look anymore. That guy dropped out of school." With one hand on the table, Tyrant looked at Green Valley's stupid appearance and snorted.

He thought she was just joking with him yesterday, but she really didn't come to class today.

"Quit, quit school?" Dehisa looked at Takeshi in confusion. How could …

"Ah, I just heard that Osako quit school today. I wanted to partner up with Osako in the volleyball competition."

Fen Ling Ling lay on the table, her pink braids that were always full of vitality also fell down, softly draping over her shoulders.

"Why did Osako quit school?

How about … we go to Sako's house to visit her!! "Fen Ling suddenly jumped up from the table as her eyes lit up.

— —

On the other side, Sako summoned her eagle that had been wandering for a long time. The ninja beast that was forced to stay in the modern world finally returned to its original home.

Nothing, nothing, still nothing.

Perhaps because she was prepared for it, Sako wasn't too disappointed. She gently closed her eyes. Now wasn't the time.

There was a knock on the door. Sako turned around and heard a man's voice. "Can I come in?"

"Come in."

"Hello, I'm your new tutor, Haruhiwa." The man at the door had irises in his hair and a gentle smile.
