Feeling everyone's eyes focus on him, Koenji was distracted for only a second.
Then he went back to looking in the mirror and grooming his blond hair.
The only one who could defeat me was myself.
I would stay true to my path. No one could interfere with me.
Not even Jiahao.
Seeing Koenji's indifferent attitude, Uchiha could only boldly continue:
"Brushing up your bangs!!!"
"Some boys have textured fringe cuts. Their hair is long and gets in their eyes, so brushing it aside once in a while is fine."
"But!!"
"Mr. Jiahao can brush them up around eight hundred times in one minute!"
"Of course, there's an upgraded version too. He'll stand there with his mouth crooked, blowing at his bangs, and he can blow them around eight hundred times too!!"
"He thinks he looks all broken and atmospheric, but then those greasy hands swipe upward, leaving everything oily and nasty. You clearly haven't washed your hair. Who could stand watching that??"
"In the end, his bangs look like Sanmao's, and after brushing them up, he has to look around and make sure there are girls nearby..."
"Girls, whatever you do, don't look at him then. If you dare make eye contact with him, you're done. He'll immediately launch into the next two moves."
"..."
The whole room went terrifyingly silent.
Many students desperately covered their mouths, afraid they would burst out laughing!!
Some kept pinching their thighs to distract themselves!!
"Damn mouth, shut up already! Damn it!! Can't hold it in anymore?!"
"Are you researching static electricity?"
"When I had nothing to do in class, I'd play with my hair and watch dandruff drift down like snowflakes. Then they said I was acting cool..."
"I'm a girl. Back in middle school, one of my classmates had a little wolf-tail hairstyle, with this super long fringe in front. He never brushed it aside even when it covered his face. Then he'd jut out his underbite and blow at his own bangs, over and over. As his desk mate, my toes were curling into the ground."
"Scholar!!!"
"Hahaha, at the core, you're just repressed!!"
"Isn't brushing up his bangs Jiahao's idle animation?"
"Damn, there's a combo too?!!"
[Jiahao Spirit +612] [Jiahao Spirit +534] [Jiahao Spirit +449] [Jiahao Spirit +657] [...]
Uchiha remained outwardly calm:
"That's right, here comes the combo!!"
"Then he'll pull a mirror from his little bag. The back absolutely has to feature Anya or Kanna prints—the cuter they are, the more they highlight his contrast. It's just... you know?"
"Okay, then he admires himself in the mirror, checking whether the hairstyle he just brushed up has gotten messed up. In reality, he's always been the Heaven-Burying Emperor—he's never stood straight even once..."
Upon hearing that, Ike instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He touched his half-long, shaggy hair and seriously considered whether he should get a haircut.
"Then what does he notice at this point?"
Kei looked excited. "What does he notice?"
"His lips are a little dry and peeling."
"He immediately licks them twice."
"Why are they dry? Because he licks them."
"Why does he lick them? Because they're dry."
"Round and round it goes. The more he licks his lips, the drier they get, and the drier they get, the more he licks..."
"Then he completes this entire sequence in one smooth, flowing motion."
"After that, he absolutely has to loosen up his neck, let out a deep breath, and think to himself:
I look so damn cool today. That class beauty doesn't dare come over and ask for my contact information because she's stunned by my handsomeness. There's nothing I can do about it. Sorry, My Girl. The strong are always lonely..."
"???"
"???"
"Pfft pfft pfft hahahaha!!"
No one in the room could hold it in any longer. They laughed like crazy!!
"I'm dying!!"
"Everyone, repeat after me: I'm so handsome!!"
"Then he bites off the dead skin directly, and it starts bleeding."
"Cheilitis warning!!"
"Flat noodles~"
"I carry a little mirror too, but it's for popping pimples."
"Jiahao spirit soaring to the heavens!!!"
"A performance true to character!!!"
"Doesn't he throw his head back and flick his hair too?! And shake his hands and legs!"
"Is Ultra Instinct Jiahao starting to argue now?"
Uchiha gave everyone no time to react and immediately moved on to the next one.
"Basketball shoes rubbing against the floor, and... touching the high mark."
"If shooting imaginary hoops could still mean he loved basketball, then those two actions above had absolutely no logic behind them. He did them purely for the Jiahao spirit!!!"
"First, let's talk about scraping the soles of your shoes."
"Obviously, it wasn't to show off in front of the boys. He still wanted to attract little girls' attention, making the girls think he was really good at basketball, that his shoes were expensive and high-quality, that they made a sound when rubbed, and that the kid just loved scraping them..."
"Then you scrape them click-clack for a while, and you end up irritating everyone to death. You're seriously annoying!!"
"What do people see you as?"
Wang Meiyu asked, "As what?"
A kid begging to be beaten by his mom: She finally earns enough money to buy you shoes, and you wear holes through them?!!
Uchiha brought up a joke that only Chinese people would understand:
"My skateboard shoes, fashionable, fashionable, the most fashionable~"
"Rub, rub, rub~"
"One step, two steps, one step, one step, like claws, like the devil's footsteps~"
"Hahaha!!" The twin-tailed girl shook with laughter. "Ah!! I know this one!!"
"It's Yosehan Pangmailang."
At that moment.
Wang Meiyu felt as if she had found a kindred spirit. It wasn't easy to encounter someone from her hometown while studying abroad!!
Gurgle gurgle~
His stomach was getting a little hungry, so Uchiha planned to quickly finish the rest.
"Lastly, those people who touch the high mark."
"Remember this: real experts never touch doorframes, nor do they touch that sign beside the boys' restroom. They just dunk directly on the basketball court!!"
"The one dunking is Jordan from the class next door. What are you, Chopper?? No, no, you're not even as cute as Chopper."
"If you hop around like that, your physical condition makes it easy for you to crash into someone, or sprain yourself into Paul George. So let's not force it. Stop touching things, okay?"
"..."
"..."
Sudou's nose had turned red.
He had trained his jumping ability for a long time. He was almost able to dunk.
As long as he could jump another five centimeters higher, he would be able to complete a rim-grazer dunk.
After hearing Uchiha's words, everyone sucked in a sharp breath.
"The most Jiahao one."
"If you can't dunk, you're a clown. If you can dunk, you're the true Jiahao King!!!"
"We used to touch the security camera, and we touched it so hard it broke. We had to pay four thousand in compensation!!"
"Hahaha, I couldn't hold it together at touching the sign!!!"
"George: Why is someone using me as a background prop again?!"
"How are there so many Jiahaos the moment they open their mouths? I laughed so hard I got abs. Oh right, you actually have to work out to get abs."
"Rolling your eyes—aren't you just another Jiahao?"
Seeing the atmosphere grow louder and more heated, Uchiha wanted to slip away:
"Next time, I'll explain—Jiahao Evil Amid Smoke!! Don't miss it."
"One last piece of advice for boys: if you've got nothing, don't force it. Otherwise, you'll really turn into a clown."
"That's it, everyone disperse. I'm going to replenish some nutrients."
Half a minute later.
The crowd finally dispersed.
Uchiha packed up his desk and slung his beloved little backpack over his shoulders...
Suddenly.
Ayanokoji warmly invited him:
"Uchiha, we have P.E. this afternoon. Want to grab a coffee together and replenish our energy?"
The masked boy asked, "Your treat?"
"..."
Ayanokoji immediately sold out the social butterfly. "It's Kushida's gathering. She said she was treating."
Uchiha said, "Oh."
He took a long stride forward. "Let's go. What are you standing around for?"
Another free meal—he definitely had to take it!!
Twenty minutes later.
The two arrived at Palette's entrance.
Ayanokoji looked inside and quickly spotted the orange-haired girl.
However!!
The next sight froze his expression completely.
Even though he had no expression.
Why had Kushida invited Horikita out too, and why were they sitting shoulder to shoulder?!!
Was she trying to...
Take down both Uchiha and Horikita, these two lone wolves, in one go?!!
He had to admit, Kushida, you were freaking amazing!!
Hopefully, you could pull it off~
