New Mission, Gold Card!

Yi Chen returned to his dormitory and lay on his bed, feeling dazed and unsure of what he should be doing.

He opened his phone to find a barrage of messages from Ichinose.

Yi Chen replied happily.

Although he didn't quite understand what love was, Yi Chen thought:

Anyway, it's just two people being together and relying on each other.

Yi Chen touched his lips; this was his first time.

As Yi Chen thought about everything that had just happened, his face immediately flushed red again.

His heartbeat quickened.

Yi Chen felt wonderful.

Yi Chen tried to go to sleep, but he couldn't drift off for a long time.

Yi Chen pondered many things.

From Ichinose, to Class C, to how to promote to Class A, to what the future might hold.

Unable to sleep, Yi Chen got up and began practicing the Primordial Flower Hand.

Yi Chen's state of mind gradually calmed.

"Ichinose?"

"Promote to Class A?"

"Ichinose's class seems to be the worst one in the end, right?"

"Class C? If the three of them come at me together, can I win?"

"Not to mention that Ryuen hasn't even shown up yet."

"There are all sorts of exams coming up; will I graduate from Class A?"

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time."

He didn't know how long he had been practicing, but Yi Chen was drenched in sweat, though his muscles felt firmer than before.

After taking a shower, Yi Chen made a rough plan for the future.

The night passed.

Time marched on, and the days went by one after another.

Kushida had also returned to her usual self after being cold at the beginning.

Yi Chen:

"Is it because of Ichinose?"

Airi was considered a friend to Yi Chen, but they didn't talk much on a daily basis.

Airi's presence was becoming increasingly faint.

Yi Chen:

"?"

Soon, a month passed, and a new month began.

During this month, Yi Chen spent his time peacefully on campus.

He persisted in practicing the Primordial Flower Hand every day.

Yi Chen felt lighter than ever before.

In his remaining time, Yi Chen spent his days glued to Ichinose, sometimes being passionate, sometimes distant.

Yet, their feelings for each other gradually grew.

In the new month, although the class points weren't high.

Not many were distributed this month, but having at least something was good.

With the new distribution, Yi Chen's personal points reached 27,000.

On this day, Airi found Yi Chen and asked him to accompany her to get her camera repaired.

Yi Chen readily agreed, as Ichinose had to be busy with club activities this afternoon.

Because he found various things troublesome, Yi Chen had always made excuses to avoid joining any clubs at school.

Therefore, he had quite a bit of free time.

After class, Yi Chen went with Airi to fix the camera, and the two didn't have much to say to each other.

Airi asked him intermittently how he and Ichinose had been getting along lately.

Yi Chen replied indifferently.

Angel:

Task issued

Save Airi Sakura.

Reward:

One Gold Card.

Failure:

One Bronze Card.

Yi Chen recalled an important plot point upon hearing this.

However, Yi Chen was somewhat puzzled when he saw the reward.

I remember it was just a stalker, right? Solving that gives such a good reward?

Even if I fail, it's still a Bronze reward.

Although Yi Chen was very confused, a mission was a mission.

Soon, the two of them fixed the camera.

They parted ways shortly after.

Yi Chen went to have a meal with Ichinose, chatting about various things.

However, Yi Chen's phone suddenly received a message.

Airi had sent Yi Chen a location.

Seeing this message, Yi Chen processed the situation for a brief moment.

Fearing that something might happen to Ichinose, Yi Chen made up a random excuse, saying he would be with Ichinose tonight.

Immediately, Yi Chen quickly followed the location to search for her.

He soon arrived at a school building based on the coordinates.

Yi Chen walked into the building.

Not knowing which floor Airi was on, Yi Chen searched quickly.

He soon reached the rooftop.

"Ryuen?!"

"Ibuki Mio."

Yi Chen looked at the people around him in disbelief.

Albert, Yamazaki, Ibuki Mio, and Ryuen.

After their last fight, Yi Chen had analyzed the key personnel of Class C.

He didn't expect to see Airi being held by Yamazaki on the side.

Seeing Yi Chen arrive, Ryuen said with disdain:

"You're finally here. You're quite slow."

"It seems you are the mastermind behind Class D."

"Angela Yi Chen."

"You were quite impressive to have taken care of those three people before."

Yi Chen was very confused. This plot was nine parts wrong out of ten.

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"Why are you stalking and threatening Airi?"

Ryuen chuckled:

"We aren't some perverts who stalk others."

"That piece of trash you're talking about has already been dealt with by us and handed over to the police."

"To be honest, he couldn't take a beating at all."

At this moment, someone walked out silently from behind the rooftop.

"Kushida!"

Yi Chen was extremely puzzled.

Kushida said slowly:

"Airi told me today that someone seemed to be stalking her, so I stepped in to help her."

"That person has already been dealt with by Ryuen, and now we are just asking Airi for a favor."

Yi Chen looked at Airi, trying to ask if this was true.

Airi looked at Yi Chen and nodded.

Yamazaki released Airi, and she walked over to explain everything to Yi Chen.

She also told Yi Chen that Ryuen and the others would not harm them.

Ryuen stepped forward and provoked him:

"Yi Chen, you two really have a close relationship, don't you?"

"I recall you were with Ichinose from Class B, weren't you?"

"Why did you come running just because this girl sent a location?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Ryuen glanced at Kushida with malicious intent.

Kushida approached and first told Airi to leave; Airi had intended to take Yi Chen with her, but Yi Chen told her not to worry.

After Airi left alone.

Yamazaki and Albert walked up behind Yi Chen.

Yi Chen began to get serious.

Kushida's face turned dark and twisted:

"Angela Yi Chen."

"How is it that a loser like you can be more popular than me?"

"How is it that even after such an arrogant speech at the start of school, students still like you?"

"How do you deserve such high popularity?"

"I was clearly so good to you, yet you treat me like this."

"Someone like you isn't worthy of Ichinose, and even less worthy of Class D."

After speaking, Yamazaki and Albert stepped forward to grab Yi Chen's arms.

Kushida stepped up and delivered a front kick, striking Yi Chen in the abdomen.

Yi Chen coughed lightly and took two steps back.

Yamazaki and Albert released Yi Chen.

Yi Chen looked at Kushida with a face full of disappointment:

"Kushida, so this is the kind of person you are."

"All the kindness you showed me before was just an act."

Kushida looked at Yi Chen with a face full of disgust:

"Angela Yi Chen, if you had just lived your school life quietly and honestly."

"If you had let me handle the spotlight and hadn't stolen my popularity, that would have been fine."

"But why did you have to help that trash Yamauchi Haruki?"

"And Sudo Ken too, it was all you, it was all you."

"You really know how to attract attention."

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen understood one truth:

It is very difficult for people to change themselves; I don't understand Kushida.

Without walking in her shoes or traveling the same path as her.

I don't know why she is so insistent on wanting to gain everyone's attention.

But apart from just now, Kushida really was good to me.

After finishing his thoughts, Yi Chen said calmly:

"Kushida, we are even now."

"I won't have any further interaction with you from here on out."

Hearing this, Kushida smiled disdainfully and walked to the side, intending to watch the show.

However, Airi hadn't actually gone very far.

Through the crack in the rooftop door, a camera was quietly recording everything.

Ryuen also followed behind and shouted loudly:

"Yi Chen, let me see your capabilities for myself once more."

Yi Chen looked around; this time, Ibuki Mio was also standing in front of him.

Yi Chen was surrounded by three people.

The breeze on the rooftop whistled, and the sun slowly began to set.
