Swimming Lesson

After the first period in the afternoon, only the final physical education class remained.

It was already July.

By now, Yi Chen had been at Classroom of the Elite for three months.

Advanced Nurturing High School had welcomed its new students at the beginning of April.

The sun was shining brightly today as the students of Class D arrived one after another outside the school's swimming pool.

This was a swimming lesson, and to be fair, high schools in Japan were actually quite good.

Especially this school.

After Yi Chen and the others entered the swimming facility, they quickly changed into their swim trunks and headed onto the pool deck.

This was Yi Chen's first swimming lesson in high school, and he felt incredibly excited inside.

It was an unprecedented experience.

Inside the pool area, many of the girls in the class looked toward Yi Chen, eyeing his perfectly toned muscles.

Yi Chen didn't feel much of anything, remaining filled with anticipation for the swimming lesson.

The class began, and the teacher gave a brief, casual explanation of some techniques and swimming basics before leaving.

The remaining time was theirs.

In the pool, the students were already laughing and splashing around.

There were also girls sitting together chatting.

"Hey, which boy in the class do you like?"

"Oh, oh, I also think Yi Chen-kun is super handsome."

"It's such a pity he already has a girlfriend."

"I know, right?"

Over on Yi Chen's side.

Yi Chen was happily sitting and chatting with Sudo Ken and the others.

In the pool, the female students wearing swimsuits were more eye-catching than the last.

Yi Chen looked at the girls playing in the water, especially Kushida and Airi.

Although Kushida had a bad personality, she was still quite well-endowed.

Airi was also very nice.

Everyone was wearing the standard school-issued swimwear for the lesson.

So, after a casual glance, Yi Chen lost interest.

At this moment, Osamu and Yamauchi started chatting and asked Yi Chen:

"Yi Chen, which girl in our class do you think has the best figure?"

Yi Chen blushed upon hearing this.

Yi Chen shook his head, indicating they should ask Sudo Ken instead.

The group teased Yi Chen relentlessly.

Then, Osamu poked Yi Chen and whispered:

"Yi Chen, tell us quietly, if you didn't have a girlfriend right now, who in our class would you choose to date?"

Yi Chen shook his head:

"I don't know."

The group instantly lost interest in Yi Chen.

Then, they started bragging and gossiping.

Osamu asked if any of them liked anyone in the class.

Yi Chen listened as they spoke.

Sudo Ken liked Horikita.

Osamu and Yamauchi both liked Kushida.

Yi Chen liked Ichinose.

Afterward, the others sighed and expressed their envy of Yi Chen for having such a beautiful girlfriend like Ichinose.

At this point, Osamu looked at Yi Chen lecherously and said:

"Yi Chen, how far have you and Ichinose gone?"

Yi Chen naturally understood what he meant, his face turning slightly red:

"I suppose we've kissed."

"Whoa! Whoa~ Sugoi!"

Sudo Ken and the others looked at Yi Chen with intense envy.

Osamu shed tears of envy:

"Yi Chen, you're seriously amazing. How long have you even been dating, and you've already kissed?"

Yamauchi also shed tears of envy:

"Yi Chen, how on earth did you manage to pursue a beauty on the level of Ichinose?"

"Please, you have to teach me."

The remaining two also pleaded:

"Teach us, please."

Yi Chen thought for a moment and gave them a simple, casual summary of the story between him and her.

Sudo Ken was unwilling to accept this:

"What the hell, Yi Chen? Hearing you say that, not only are you handsome, but you're also so bold when it comes to love."

Yi Chen asked, puzzled:

"What makes you say that?"

Yamauchi said enviously:

"Exactly! Yi Chen, you're so lucky. Why did Ichinose ask you for help instead of me!"

Osamu shed tears of envy:

"Don't even think about it, Yamauchi. Didn't you hear what Yi Chen just said?"

"He even said that if a situation like that happens again, she can keep using him as a shield."

"That's the move of a total Casanova! We wouldn't have the courage to be that direct."

Yamauchi and Sudo Ken shed tears of envy:

"Yeah, we don't have a face that attracts girls like Yi Chen does."

"And we definitely don't have Yi Chen's courage!"

Yi Chen laughed awkwardly:

"It's fine. If you guys really meet someone you truly like, you'll definitely be more proactive than I am."

"You have to be proactive to get results, right?"

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows at them.

The group instantly ignited with passion.

Sudo Ken raised a fist of victory and looked at Yi Chen:

"Yi Chen, you're right! I'm going to go right now. I'm going to be as brave as you and get myself a girlfriend."

After saying that, Sudo Ken walked toward Horikita.

Yamauchi and Osamu looked at him as if he were a dead man, raising their left fists to cheer him on in their hearts.

Once Sudo Ken reached Horikita, she looked at him with a confused expression.

Sudo Ken blushed as he struck up a conversation with Horikita:

"Hello, Horikita-san."

Horikita looked indifferent:

"Hello, Sudo Ken."

Sudo Ken looked at Horikita, his face bright red as he stammered:

"Horikita-san, I... I, can I call you Suzune from now on?"

Osamu and Yamauchi saw this and both gave him a thumbs up.

Horikita looked puzzled:

"Do whatever you want."

Sudo Ken returned happily, showing off to the others.

Yamauchi and Osamu gave him a thumbs up:

"You're the man, Sudo!"

Afterward, the group chatted, and Sudo Ken suggested they have a swimming race.

Yi Chen and the others readily agreed.

They found a wide area and prepared to start the race.

The rest of the class heard the news and came over to watch.

Sudo Ken found Yukimura to act as the referee.

The girls in the class looked toward Yi Chen in unison.

Since obtaining the Primordial Flower Hand, Yi Chen had practiced it every single day.

His physique had been honed to an excellent state.

Coupled with his handsome face, the girls of this age could not resist him.

"3! 2! 1! Start!"

As soon as Yukimura finished speaking, the four of them dove into the water in unison.

The first to hit the water was naturally Yi Chen.

The girls on the sidelines began to scream.

This race would end after one round trip.

Whoever arrived first would be the winner.

Although it wasn't an official competition.

This was what youth was all about.

The group swam with all their might in the water.

Yi Chen didn't use any particular technique, relying entirely on his outstanding physical fitness to take the lead.

Soon, Yi Chen was the first to complete the round trip.

The people in the class were all cheering.

Many girls went up to strike up a conversation with Yi Chen, admiring him.

Airi, in particular, was so happy that she hugged Yi Chen from behind.

She was celebrating for him.

The people in the class looked at Airi in surprise.

Airi also realized that she might have done something inappropriate, so she let go of Yi Chen in embarrassment.

At this moment, a girl spoke up:

"Airi, what are you doing? Yi Chen already has a girlfriend, and you're still acting like this."

Airi listened from behind Yi Chen, her face flushed red.

Yi Chen stepped in to smooth things over:

"Haha, it's fine, Airi and I are good friends."

"She was probably just too excited; she must be really happy for me."

The girl looked like a lovesick fan:

"Then Yi Chen, we're friends too, can we also excitedly touch your abs?"

Yi Chen was speechless and awkwardly turned them down.

Airi expressed her gratitude to Yi Chen.

Shortly after, Sudo Ken and the others slowly arrived as well.

But no one paid them any mind.

Following that, many other boys were spurred on by the group and began their own swimming races.

In the end, almost everyone participated.

Kushida's attitude toward Yi Chen was as if nothing had ever happened between them.

She treated him just like everyone else.

Horikita and Ayanokoji also had no choice but to participate.

This swimming lesson ended quickly amidst everyone's cheers and laughter.
