Ryuen returns, are you tsundere?

The next day.

Class C, first year.

Shiho Manabe sat on Prince Ganlongdao's lap, feeding him breakfast.

To everyone else, the two looked exactly like a pair of lovebirds.

Just then.

The entire classroom suddenly fell silent.

The students who realized what was happening all looked toward the front door of the classroom in unison.

A cold-looking stranger with long, flowing hair walked into the classroom with his hands in his pockets.

They had only met once before.

A month had passed.

Many people had almost forgotten what Dragon Garden looked like.

But some still remembered.

"Dragon Garden, you bastard, you actually dare to come to class?"

Kaneda, who had just stepped forward, was shoved aside by Dragon Garden. Stumbling back two steps, Kaneda immediately flew into a rage and pointed at Dragon Garden, berating him.

"Dragon Garden, you bastard, you caused our Class Points to be deducted to zero, and you still have the nerve to show your face in class? If you have any sense, you'll withdraw voluntarily, otherwise, I'm reporting you to the teacher."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The gazes of those around them toward Dragon Garden turned somewhat hostile.

However, hindered by his past reputation and the presence of Prince Ganlongdao.

For a moment.

Aside from Kaneda.

No one dared to say much else.

This was the strength of Kaneda.

No matter how many times he was beaten, or how miserably he was treated, for the sake of his own future, he could bite back like a mad dog countless times; he was truly the type to be an ingrate.

But as a mad dog, Kaneda was exceptionally talented!

Ignoring Kaneda's barking, Dragon Garden walked straight to Prince Ganlongdao in the classroom and glanced at Shiho Manabe on his lap.

"What do you want?"

Shiho Manabe frowned, looking displeased: "You skipped class for a month, you idiot. If it weren't for Prince Brother, we would have been ruined because of you."

Seeing this.

Prince Ganlongdao patted her back, and Shiho Manabe sensibly hopped down, standing obediently behind him.

Dragon Garden withdrew his gaze, ignoring her, and stared at Prince Ganlongdao, saying coldly:

"It seems you've trained them quite well."

"That's an exaggeration."

Prince Ganlongdao raised his right hand nonchalantly, his tone playful.

"It's just the will of the people. By the way, Dragon Garden, what made you decide to come to class?"

"Hmph."

Dragon Garden let out a cold snort.

"Through this incident, I've discovered that you are a madman with no scruples. You've won this time, so it's not entirely unacceptable to let you serve as the leader for now."

As he spoke.

Dragon Garden shifted his tone, a flicker of ice flashing in his viper-like eyes.

"However, Ganlongdao, remember this: I will be watching you from behind the whole time. If you lack the qualifications to be a leader, I will snap your neck at any moment. Next time, it won't be as simple as this."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Ishizaki and the others in the class.

Looked at each other, glancing back and forth between the two.

Although they didn't know what had happened, it looked like Dragon Garden had lost in the end, which made it easier for them to get involved.

However.

With the self-awareness of underlings.

Ishizaki and Albert still silently stood behind Prince Ganlongdao.

Although Prince Ganlongdao didn't need their protection or anything of the sort, at a time like this, it was all about the spectacle.

The whole class is on my side, so how can you, Dragon Garden, possibly fight me?

If you know what's good for you.

Just hurry up and admit defeat!

"Yes, yes."

Prince Ganlongdao sat in his chair, picking at his ear with his pinky finger, looking somewhat speechless.

"Ryuen, I only just realized you're acting like a woman, getting all tsundere on me."

"..."

A flash of killing intent crossed Ryuen's eyes.

He had been humiliated many times before, but for some reason, none of them had been as infuriating as Prince Ganlongdao.

But thinking about what had happened this month.

He hesitated for a moment.

Ryuen still chose to give up.

There was no benefit in the two of them continuing to fight.

If they fell too far behind the other classes, it would be meaningless.

However.

He would keep his eyes on Prince Ganlongdao from here on out.

If Prince Ganlongdao was just a fraud with no substance, lacking the ability to lead the class to victory.

Then.

Ryuen had no intention of backing down again; he would simply replace him.

Next time wouldn't be this easy.

For now.

It was better to gather information first.

Shiho Manabe, standing to the side, looked on with disdain.

She had thought Ryuen, who used to rule over an entire street, was something special.

Turns out he was only at this level.

What a small-time loser.

Wasn't he easily handled by Prince Brother?

Under the gaze of everyone present, Ryuen walked toward his seat with a cold face.

However.

Kaneda placed a hand on Ryuen's shoulder, looking extremely displeased as he said:

"Ryuen, I don't care what happened between you and Prince Brother, but you caused our Class Points to be deducted to zero. How exactly are you going to compensate us?"

"..."

Calling him an idiot in his heart.

Ryuen threw a punch backhanded, but Prince Ganlongdao caught his wrist and laughed:

"Don't be angry. Kaneda has contributed a lot to the class during this time, so don't take offense."

"Let go."

Ryuen gave him a cold look, then glanced at Kaneda.

He forcibly pulled his hand back and returned to his seat.

Regardless of what kind of relationship Kaneda had with Prince Ganlongdao, it didn't change his resolve.

However.

Kaneda straightened his collar and lifted his chin slightly, looking inexplicably smug.

"Kaneda."

Prince Ganlongdao looked at him and smiled: "You too, don't dwell on what's already happened."

"But..."

"Hmm?"

Feeling the sharp gaze of Prince Ganlongdao.

Kaneda lowered his head unwillingly, his eyes sweeping over the two of them with resentment.

One was Prince Ganlongdao, a piece of trash who abused violence.

The other was Ryuen, who had skipped class for a month and caused the Class Points to be deducted to zero.

Neither of them were any good.

"Alright."

"Since Ryuen is back."

"That works out, I have a few things to say as well."

As he spoke.

Prince Ganlongdao walked up to the podium.

Now that Dragon Garden had returned, he could finally begin his move.

Just then.

The bell for class rang.

Footsteps echoed from outside the classroom, and Kazuma Sakagami walked in, speaking coldly to Prince Ganlongdao on the podium:

"The bell has rung."

In truth.

Since late April.

Kazuma Sakagami had already reminded them about classroom discipline multiple times.

Even with university regulations in place.

There were many ways to issue a reminder.

For instance, asking what the student was doing or calling on them to answer a question.

All of these could serve to maintain classroom discipline.

However.

There were ultimately some limitations imposed by school rules, and there was more to the university than just Kazuma Sakagami's subject, so the results were naturally less than ideal.

This was enough to show.

Just how much Kazuma Sakagami valued Class A.

Naturally, he had no patience for Prince Ganlongdao right now.

"Class is starting already?"

Prince Ganlongdao sat on the podium, sounding somewhat dissatisfied:

"Well then, Sakagami, just stand to the side for a moment. I have something to say."

"You..."

Kazuma Sakagami's face flushed red with anger.

In all his years of teaching.

This was the first time a student had dared to speak to him like that!

If Prince Ganlongdao were capable of leading the class up to Class A, he might have just swallowed his pride.

However.

Given the current situation.

If not for the school regulations forbidding teachers from interfering with student decisions, Kazuma Sakagami would have been so furious he might have resorted to violence.

Finally.

Kazuma Sakagami could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.
