Kogenji suddenly cut in. "And it seems you even changed the content to specifically target me? Did you deliberately use this method to hit back at what I said just now?"
Well done! Congratulations, you succeeded!
I'm in a very bad mood right now!
I'll remember you, Bai Lan boy~
I accept your challenge, although I'll definitely be the one who wins in the end!"
Kogenji knew a certain amount about Huaguo.
In Kogenji's view:
Bai Lan had copied his speech template, clearly targeting him.
The glory of Gc-ism?
Wasn't that just "overthrow the landlords, divide the land, and beat down the tyrants"?
Wasn't his Kogenji conglomerate precisely the kind of landlord or tyrant the other party was talking about?
Besides, his family really did own quite a lot of land.
Bai Lan boy~
How were you planning to fight this landlord? Beat down this tyrant? Divide up my land?
Thinking of this, Kogenji felt that his future school life might become interesting. His spirits rose.
Hearing Kogenji's sudden speech, everyone in the class was immediately confused.
What?
Had Bai Lan actually been targeting Kogenji in his speech just now?
After Kogenji's "reminder," everyone in the class felt that something was off. A few people with ulterior motives immediately started racking their brains, trying to unravel the mystery.
33. Ayanokoji: Bai Lan, don't do this. I'm afraid our classmates will misunderstand.
Regarding what Kogenji had said, Bai Lan felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't think much of it.
After all, Kogenji wasn't wrong. He really had intended to target him.
More precisely, Bai Lan planned to target every single person in Class D equally!
Kogenji was merely one of his many targets.
Since Kogenji insisted on identifying himself with the speech and adding a "pain amplification" debuff to himself, there was nothing Bai Lan could do.
In Bai Lan's view, attracting more hatred was a good thing. There was no need to clarify anything.
As for whether Kogenji would use his influence to target him after he left the school—
By then, he would leave everything to the omnipotent Invincible Luck.
Since it was Invincible Luck, as the name implied, it would definitely help him make all his "enemies" "vanish."
As long as he still had one enemy, it couldn't be called invincible.
If that really didn't work, he still had Extraordinary Physique.
After Kogenji finished speaking,
Bai Lan looked unconcerned. Once he confirmed that no one was interrupting his self-introduction, he continued.
The "Kogenji Rokosuke template" had been used up.
Next was the "Ike Kanji template."
"Although what I said to you just now was unpleasant,
I don't actually dislike you. I don't dislike any of you.
Because I only dislike boys who are more handsome than me, and girls who don't like me.
I know you want to say that I'm handsome. I think so too.
I don't have a girlfriend yet. If you ask about my preferences, they're very broad. She can be cute, cool, sexy, beautiful, alluring, petite, tall, tough, delicate... I'm not picky. As long as she's good-looking, it's fine. At worst, I'll have one of each type."
First, he insulted the other boys' appearances, implying that none of the boys in the class were as handsome as he was.
Although Bai Lan's looks were indeed among the most outstanding of the handsome boys in class, and the others could at most match him, there really was no boy in class more handsome than Bai Lan. Still, some things could anger people even when they were true.
Then came the narcissist's speech.
Finally, he delivered the declaration of a scumbag who wanted to build a harem.
This was basically an enhanced version of what Ike had said earlier.
As soon as these words came out, both the boys and girls were hit with a powerful wave of hatred.
The vast majority of people looked at Bai Lan with even more terrifying eyes.
Because no one like Kogenji interrupted him again,
Bai Lan quickly followed his "Ike Kanji template" with the final "Yamauchi Haruki template."
"If you want to know what I'm good at, I can tell you about the honors I've won.
When I was in elementary school in Australia, I represented Britain in Africa at the Asian Junior Swimming League, and eventually won the All-American Collegiate Tennis Championship.
In middle school, I participated in the Asian International World Chess Tournament and successfully obtained the Dragon King title, the highest honor representing Ludo.
I was forced to give up my football career after an accident during training caused the connective tissue in my brain to fall away.
Otherwise, I would have become the hope of the world of jump-rope tricks.
In short, I'm amazing. Feel free to praise me as much as you like. I won't be embarrassed.
Mm, that's all."
The substance of the "Yamauchi Haruki template" was even simpler.
The entire speech was full of holes, purely treating the listeners like idiots.
It was likewise an enhanced version of Yamauchi's earlier speech, which had been nothing but lies.
And with that, Bai Lan's self-introduction ended.
Looking at the other people in class, whose gazes seemed filled with deadly poison, Bai Lan nodded in satisfaction.
The effect was outstanding!
As expected, he knew he wasn't so incompetent that he couldn't even copy an answer correctly.
However, no one noticed.
After hearing the rest of Bai Lan's speech, Kogenji seemed to understand something. He quietly muttered, "How boring," then withdrew his attention from Bai Lan. His mood shifted from high spirits back to that familiar look of a "master's loneliness."
After the self-introductions ended, self-study continued.
The time drifted by.
The dismissal bell rang. Class was over.
No, it should be said that school was over.
This self-study period was the final class of the day.
The instant the bell rang, Bai Lan shot to his feet, preparing to leave the classroom.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something.
Nine Martial Ridge used to make wine orders.
He turned and walked back, then patted Ayanokoji on the shoulder. "Weren't you supposed to attend the club orientation with me? Why aren't you moving?"
Ayanokoji replied, "Bai Lan, don't do this. I'm afraid they'll misunderstand. Go by yourself today."
"Oh, oh, oh~ You don't want to leave with me anymore? Are you scared? Afraid that if you walk with me, someone will put you in a sack later?" Bai Lan said arrogantly.
Ayanokoji said matter-of-factly, "Wouldn't any ordinary person be afraid of that?"
So, in Ayanokoji's case, feelings simply didn't exist.
Fortunately, Bai Lan had never expected anything from him in the first place, so he wouldn't be disappointed.
In fact, if Ayanokoji really developed feelings, Bai Lan would be disappointed instead.
Because that would mean one fewer suitable conversational tool was available to him. He would no longer be able to speak normally with him without worry.
Therefore, regarding Ayanokoji's "heartlessness," Bai Lan was not only not disappointed but extremely satisfied.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ How boring." Although he was satisfied, Bai Lan still caught up with him while looking thoroughly disdainful.
Next, Bai Lan turned to look at Horikita. He had initially wanted to tease her too, but soon gave up.
Because he remembered that he had already successfully reversed the girls' favorable impression of him.
In other words, he no longer needed a fake girlfriend as a shield.
If he provoked Horikita into leaving the classroom with him out of spite, the people in class would definitely misunderstand her relationship with him.
That would serve no purpose aside from causing the class to direct its anger at Horikita for no reason.
To Bai Lan, this was purely a case of hurting others without benefiting himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Lan shook his head and abandoned the idea of speaking to Horikita.
Horikita continued pretending to read. She had already prepared herself: the moment Bai Lan spoke, she would immediately refuse him and follow up with a poisonous remark.
However, Horikita discovered that Bai Lan merely looked at her, shook his head, and then left?
Horikita: ???
What did that mean?
That guy Bai Lan had at least said a few words to Ayanokoji, but when it came to her, he had given up immediately?
Was he implying that she wasn't even as useful as Ayanokoji, that dried-up fish?
Did he think she cared about those people's attitudes or was afraid of being misunderstood?
What a joke?!
Why would she, Horikita Suzune, need to explain herself to anyone?
Horikita Suzune would not tolerate this humiliation!
