Swimming Class Begins

Spring has arrived, all things are waking up, and it is once again the season for animals to breed...

Perhaps this sentence perfectly captures the scene currently unfolding.

The boys before me, who are usually quite normal, are currently huddled in the water, their eyes darting toward the side every now and then.

An Xiao sits by the edge of the pool, draped in a black and white sun-protection jacket, and says with a sense of speechlessness.

"It's just a swimming lesson, is it really necessary to be like this..."

"An Xiao, do you not like swimming?"

An Xiao's field of vision darkens, followed by a wave of fragrance that blocks the words he hadn't finished speaking.

Big, white, round...

These three words suddenly pop into An Xiao's mind. Looking upward, he sees Honami Ichinose looking at him with curiosity.

She is currently leaning over, and the area on her chest is made even more prominent by the pull of gravity and the outline of her swimsuit.

It seems I can sort of understand why they were acting like that...

Hurriedly tightening his wandering thoughts, An Xiao rubs his cheeks vigorously with his palms. After steadying himself, he says.

"It's not that I don't like it, I just simply don't want to exercise."

"Is that so? But An Xiao, you do look like you lack exercise."

As Honami Ichinose says this, she sits down next to An Xiao, her fingers gently poking his arm.

"However, An Xiao, you have a sort of delicate, refined air about you."

Seeming to have become addicted to the poking, Honami Ichinose's fingers continue to prod An Xiao's arm.

"That's enough, Ichinose!" An Xiao really can't take it anymore; he shudders and says through gritted teeth.

"Sorry, sorry." Noticing what she had just been doing, Honami Ichinose's face flushes with a hint of red. Sticking out the tip of her tongue, she explains embarrassedly, "It's just that your arm felt a bit soft when I poked it, and a bit smooth, like jelly, so I couldn't help myself for a second..."

"Still, I really didn't expect us to have swimming lessons so early. I thought it would be a bit later."

"And to have them together with Class D, too."

Indeed, it is thanks to Advanced Nurturing being extravagant enough with its facility spending that it can accommodate so many people at once.

Just as An Xiao and Honami Ichinose are sitting on the edge, chatting back and forth, she is pulled away by other girls from her class to go play in the water before long.

At this moment, a man and a woman walk slowly toward An Xiao's left.

"Yo, Horikita, you're here too." An Xiao greets her, then notices someone else following her and asks with curiosity, "And who is this beside you..."

"Someone I just met. Barely counts as a normal person."

"Horikita, we've been classmates for over half a month at least..."

"Someone I just met."

"Fine."

Even after being rebuffed, the boy beside Horikita Suzune shows no change in his expression, as if nothing had happened at all.

Or rather, he didn't have much of an expression to begin with.

"Is something the matter? By the way, I saw you standing there for quite a while. Why didn't you come over earlier? I could have introduced you to Ichinose."

"There was no need." Horikita Suzune says only this, then sits down with her arms wrapped around her knees. "Besides, the reason I came over this time isn't to find you."

Hm?

Seeing An Xiao's puzzled gaze, and noting that Horikita Suzune beside him has no intention of explaining, the boy who came with her sighs lightly and says, "Uh, my name is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. As for the reason we came over..."

Before Kiyotaka Ayanokoji can finish his sentence, An Xiao roughly guesses the reason, after all...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Breasts, snow-white breasts!"

"Perfect, let's bet on the size of the girls' breasts."

"Oh?! Don't underestimate me! I am a man known as the Breast Size Appraiser!"

"What about Hasebe! She is definitely number one!"

Even from a distance, An Xiao can clearly hear the explicit voices coming from the Class D boys.

So, is there no one in this world they care about?

"I truly pity you." An Xiao looks at Horikita Suzune with a touch of sympathy. After a moment of thought, he takes off his sun-protection jacket, holds it in his hand, and waves it toward her. "How about... you borrow this for now? Though it might not be necessary."

"...What do you mean by that?"

Horikita Suzune doesn't take the jacket from An Xiao, looking at him with an icy gaze.

"Ahem, this must be Ayanokoji, right? Nice to meet you." An Xiao feels a bit uncomfortable under Horikita Suzune's stare and shifts the topic to the other person.

"Yeah."

"Still, I'm quite envious of you. Your physique is much better than mine. Do you usually exercise?" An Xiao looks at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's clearly defined muscle lines with a hint of envy, then touches his own soft, squishy stomach, and falls into a sudden silence.

"No, not at all. I'm not bragging, but I was in the 'go-home club' during middle school."

For some reason, An Xiao suddenly thinks of the way Honami Ichinose poked him earlier, and on an impulse, he reaches out a finger and pokes Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

exposed muscles.

"Um, An Xiao, what exactly are you doing?" Ayanokoji said.

"Pervert." This was Horikita Suzune.

"Sorry, sorry." An Xiao retracted his finger, feeling somewhat awkward.

The scene suddenly fell into a heavy silence.

"Yo, you few over there, just sitting around?"

A man with a robust build, looking every bit the part of a physical education teacher, walked over and stood in front of the three of them.

"Do you all know how to swim? If not, get into the water immediately. Since you're being taught by me, I will make sure you learn before the summer break ends."

The robust man muttered to himself at the end, "Though, what is up with this year's batch? There are more than twice as many trainees as last year, but whatever."

He then swept his gaze over the three people in front of him, stepped forward, grabbed An Xiao by the wrist, and dragged him toward the water.

???????

(Little kid, are you full of question marks?)

"Wait, Teacher, why are you grabbing me? I know how to swim! Besides, aren't there two other people over there?"

The teacher holding An Xiao's wrist glanced at him and said, "Of the two people beside you, that boy clearly has good athletic ability; I'd bet he's definitely trained before. As for the girl, I've seen her before, and she swims quite well too."

"As for you..." The PE teacher looked at An Xiao's clearly under-exercised physique, a smile curling the corner of his mouth.

"You need more practice." With that, he tossed An Xiao into the water.

Splash!

By the way, does everyone feel like the author's writing is a bit scattered? Should I make some adjustments?
