"Sigh... never mind."

Hayakawa stepped forward expressionlessly, hoisted the other end of the log onto his shoulder, and said, "I'll help you move it; it won't take long."

"Ah... thank you..."

Nakano Miku looked slightly surprised, then tilted her head back and said softly, her eyes flashing slightly, "Thank you, Hayakawa-san."

She was truly heartbroken just now, because just by moving that log, Miku instantly realized that she absolutely did not have the ability to carry it on her shoulders like a boy, and could only drag it across with both hands. Dragging five logs across like this would not only take a long time, but her hands would probably be worn raw.

Luckily, someone helped...

Miku looked up and secretly glanced at Hayakawa. Her face, which had been frightening just moments before, suddenly became gentle, as if she had transformed into a chivalrous knight-errant from the Warring States period, someone who was kind and approachable and worthy of respect.

"..."

Hayakawa Shiro, though displeased, said calmly, "It's alright."

Damn it, he really didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.

I'm clearly the Emperor! I'm clearly the Emperor! Why do I have to do this kind of menial work for others...?

Hayakawa Shiro felt utterly desolate, her face expressionless.

However, not helping wasn't an option, because this gloomy, lowly girl was related to Yotsuba, Ichika, and Itsuki as sisters. If they didn't help and just stood by and did nothing...

"What did you say? That gentle, handsome, kind-hearted, and academically the best student at Ichinose Academy—Hayakawa-kun—just watched a girl suffer and didn't help her?"

"How should I put it? I feel disillusioned..."

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

Absolutely not.

"Where to move to?"

Hayakawa gave him an innocent smile: "Let me help you."

"...Thank you, Hayakawa-san."

With someone helping to move one of them, Miku immediately felt much more relaxed and nodded her thanks gently.

"It's nothing, I'm friends with Yotsuba and the others too."

Hayakawa Haku made a polite remark and then led Miku toward Class C's residence.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way. Miku didn't know what to say to the unfamiliar Hayakawa, while Hayakawa was too lazy to find a topic to talk about. So the two of them silently carried wood back and forth.

"Ah, Hayakawa-san, and Miku too?"

On the way to move the third log, a voice came from afar: "What are you doing?"

Hayakawa looked over and saw a girl standing not far away, a straw in her mouth, smiling and looking this way, before walking over.

Who is this?

Hayakawa Shiro carefully observed the girl in front of him before recognizing her as Ichika based on her hair without any hair ornaments and her unique short hair.

"Ichika, we're helping Mr. Yamamoto from Class 3 move some things."

Hayakawa Shiro explained, "I came here to help."

"Ichika..."

Miku saw Ichika and whispered, "What are you doing here?"

"I finished my work on that side, so I wandered around by myself for a while,"

Ichika then couldn't help but criticize Miku: "Really, Miku, why didn't you ask me for help if you needed it? Even if I couldn't, Yotsuba is strong enough to help you."

"don't want,"

Miku Nakano shook her head: "You have to take care of your own things."

Ichika sighed helplessly, "Ugh, what a troublesome personality."

"Well."

Miku puffed out her pink cheeks, looking somewhat angry.

"Can you leave?"

Hayakawa Shiro, standing to the side, was somewhat speechless and urged him on.

"Ah, let me help."

Nakano Ichika naturally took the log from Miku's end, then smiled at Hayakawa and said, "I'm sorry, Hayakawa-san, I can't take your place, but Hayakawa-san is a very strong guy, so it should be fine."

"..."

Hayakawa Shiro said expressionlessly, "Whatever, just hurry up and finish moving, I'm going back."

There are still two people waiting for my instruction over there.

"How cold-hearted! Be a little gentler."

Yihua pouted, speaking somewhat defiantly.

Hayakawa Shiro ignored him and walked forward in silence, but after taking two steps, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Cold-hearted? Me? I can't believe someone would call me cold-hearted.

This doesn't seem right. Wasn't my persona at school someone who was helpful, incredibly popular, showered with love letters, and received mountains of chocolates on White Valentine's Day? Why am I acting and speaking like my true self now?

Where did my facade go?

Hayakawa Shiro was horrified. After thinking it over carefully, she realized that since becoming an instructor, she had to spend a lot of time every day facing those two "arch-enemies," and their intelligence during her teaching was really worrisome. Her originally refined "gentle mask" had gradually lost its effectiveness when facing these two idiots, and now it had completely disappeared.

After all, if you've explained a problem seven or eight times and the person still can't understand it, especially if that person is someone you dislike and are your nemesis, even the best superficial explanations will lose their effectiveness.

"..."

Hayakawa Shiro suddenly realized, and his eyes gradually lost their luster, turning into two emotionless black holes.

What formidable enemies! They subtly crippled the special skills I had honed over many years. I truly underestimated them. No wonder they are my nemesis who have defeated me multiple times.

"Teng!"

A flame suddenly ignited in Hayakawa Shiro's heart, and his already surging fighting spirit rose even higher.

Suddenly, I sensed a strange will.

Ichika turned to look at Hayakawa, feeling somewhat puzzled, and then said to Miku beside her, "Miku, go and rest. I'll help carry the rest."

"…May I?"

Miku hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll rest by myself."

"Didn't you already move most of them? Leave the last two to me,"

Ichika smiled and said, "Anyway, it's our class's job."

"Well... okay, thank you, Ichika,"

Miku nodded slightly upon hearing this, then paused for a moment and said to Hayakawa beside her, "Thank you too, Hayakawa-san."

Hayakawa calmly replied, "It's nothing."

Miku left just like that, while Hayakawa frowned slightly as he watched her retreating figure. After she walked away, he turned back to look at Ichika's face.

The five sisters really do look exactly alike. If they changed their hairstyles, ordinary people would have no way of telling them apart.

"What's wrong, Hayakawa-kun?"

Ichika blushed slightly under Hayakawa's gaze and couldn't help but say, "Why are you looking at us with such a strange look?"

"nothing,"

Hayakawa said, "I just couldn't help but take a closer look because your faces are exactly the same."

"Don't describe other people's faces as if they were experimental subjects!"

Ichika Nakano said with dissatisfaction, "Besides, they're quintuplets, it's perfectly normal for them to look alike!"

"Oh, that's how it is."

Hayakawa nodded nonchalantly, thinking to himself that genes are truly amazing.

"There are still two logs left, right? How long will it take to move them?"

Seeing that Hayakawa remained silent, Ichika asked.

"Less than ten minutes."

Hayakawa Hakudao.

"That will take twenty minutes, that's quite a long time."

Nakano Ichika's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Perfect, I can chat with Hayakawa-san."

Hayakawa Shiro replied expressionlessly, "...Why are you talking to me?"

"Need I say more? Hayakawa-kun is the first boy I got to know after transferring to Ichinose Academy, and May also has a crush on you. Our grades aren't great, and Father is really keen to improve them. Who knows, you might become our tutor someday."

Ichika winked mischievously at Hayakawa: "Let's build a good relationship with our teacher now, so we won't get bullied later."

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

Never mind. Anything goes.

"Are your grades not good enough?"

Hayakawa Shiro casually asked, "How unsatisfactory is it?"

"Probably a hundred points."

Ichika smiled: "All five subjects combined."

"Oh, that's not bad,"

Hayakawa Shiro raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Your foundation is quite good."

"Hayakawa-san..."

Ichika looked at Hayakawa with a strange expression: "Are you serious?"

……

Information that can be shared now:

In the seven monthly and major exams held over two semesters, Hayakawa's win rate against Ogata Rizu and Furuhashi Fumino was zero.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Genius and [X]'s Woods Trip

"Uh…"

Hayakawa Shiro remained silent, her expression shifting slightly.

This is troublesome. It seems that because I've been teaching two idiots who defy common sense for too long, my own beliefs have also become illogical.

I've always been teaching people with single-digit numbers, but now when I see people with double-digit numbers, I genuinely feel their foundation is quite good. Honestly, what have I been doing...?

"I misspoke just now,"

Hayakawa covered it up by saying, "Don't worry about it."

"Eh~"

Nakano Ichika cradled the log in her hands, looking thoughtfully at Hayakawa, then smiled and said, "I heard that you're teaching Furuhashi Fumino from Class A and Ogata Rizu from Class C, is that right?"

"Yes."

Hayakawa nodded: "At the school's request, I will temporarily tutor two students."

"Oh! Very capable,"

Ichika looked at Hayakawa with some admiration: "Those two seem to be the top students in their grade, one in humanities and the other in science. Hayakawa-kun must be very good at academics and teaching to be able to tutor them."
