Matsushita Chiaki was stunned. She stared blankly at Shiki Natsu, who had suddenly appeared before her, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishnt at this mont.
"Sh-Shiki-san...?"
She subconsciously took half a step back, a trace of uncertainty in her voice.
"How co you are... here?"
"Isn't this Class D's classroom? Aren't you from Class A...?"
"I am also a mber of Class D."
Shiki Natsu took over the conversation very naturally, telling a lie without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.
He wanted to try and see if he could interfere with Matsushita Chiaki's cognition purely through verbal suggestion, without using any skills.
"I've always been in this class. It's just that I'm usually quite low-key, so you didn't pay much attention to , that's all."
"? Is... is that so?"
Unexpectedly, after Shiki Natsu said these words, the confusion in Matsushita Chiaki's eyes lingered for only a split second before dissipating rapidly.
She actually accepted this setting as a matter of course.
"So that's how it is... No wonder I felt Shiki-san looked sowhat familiar."
She nodded, as if she really recalled bits and pieces of Shiki Natsu's life in Class D.
"As expected of a dream," Shiki Natsu lanted silently in his heart.
It was just like when one is dreaming and suddenly dreams that they can fly, or that the family dog starts talking. Although one might feel it's a bit strange at first, one quickly accepts these inexplicable settings in a daze and feels they are very reasonable.
This is the logic of dreams—completely illogical, yet a system of its own.
That is also why very few people can realize they are dreaming while in a dream.
"Then, Shiki-san."
After accepting the setting that Shiki Natsu was a classmate, Matsushita Chiaki's attitude imdiately beca much friendlier, even carrying a trace of urgency.
She took a step forward, staring tightly into Shiki Natsu's eyes.
"Do you also want to advance to Class A?"
"Of course."
Shiki Natsu restrained his smile and answered very seriously.
"That is my goal. I think Matsushita-san should hold the sa idea as ."
Hearing this affirmative answer, Matsushita Chiaki obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
Finally... found him.
Soone with the sa goal as herself, and who possessed decent strength.
However, very quickly, a trace of worry and uncertainty revealed itself in her eyes again.
"But... Shiki-san, can you really do it?"
"You've seen the current Class D as well... a sheet of loose sand, with no cohesion at all."
She pointed at those "mosaic" classmates who were still arguing and in chaos, her tone filled with helplessness.
"Wanting to lead such a class to advance to Class A is really too difficult."
"Weren't you looking for just now?"
Shiki Natsu asked back with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
"Clearly Kushida, Hirata, and Horikita are there—three people who look very capable—but you didn't choose to join them."
"I want to know why."
"Because..."
Matsushita Chiaki bit her lip, her gaze sweeping over those three people who stood in the circles of light yet were still unable to integrate the class.
"They aren't good enough."
She spoke bluntly.
"Although these three have a certain influence in the class and seem to work very hard, but... relying solely on them to lead Class D to advance to Class A is far from enough."
"They lack that... ability to truly control the situation. Moreover, I don't trust their abilities."
Speaking of this, she looked at Shiki Natsu again, a ray of hope flashing in her eyes.
"That is why I have been searching all along."
"Searching for that powerhouse who hides in the shadows of Class D and possesses true strength."
"That would be ."
Shiki Natsu smiled faintly, claiming the identity of this hidden powerhouse without any modesty.
"I am the person you are looking for."
Hearing Shiki Natsu say such arrogant words, Matsushita Chiaki surprisingly didn't harbor the slightest suspicion, not even a hint of intention to refute.
She seed to accept it with quite a clear conscience, and her eyes even revealed a gratification that said 'it really is you.'
It seed that in Matsushita Chiaki's subconscious, his image was still quite reliable.
Shiki Natsu felt quite satisfied with this.
"However, I am very curious."
Shiki Natsu looked at her and asked suddenly.
"Matsushita-san, why are you so obsessed with advancing to Class A?"
Matsushita Chiaki shook her head, her expression becoming sowhat serious.
"Didn't the teacher already say it? Only by graduating from Class A can one enjoy a one hundred percent employnt and university advancent rate."
"Moreover..."
Her eyes dimd, and a trace of anxiety seeped into her voice.
"Once one graduates from below Class B, one will be labeled as soone unable to graduate from Class A. This label will accompany one for a lifeti, becoming a burden and a negative factor for future developnt."
"I want to have a future where I can develop stably."
"So that's how it is."
Shiki Natsu nodded slightly.
Is this Matsushita Chiaki's consideration?
It really is realistic enough.
If they were awake, trying to pry these truthful words out of the mouth of Matsushita Chiaki—who excelled at disguise and mixed into the gal group as a transparent person—would probably be quite difficult.
After all, she was a person extrely skilled at hiding her true thoughts and strength.
But well, this was a dream.
When people enter a dream, they always let down their guard and beco just that little bit more honest.
After answering Shiki Natsu's question, Matsushita Chiaki seed to beco even more urgent.
She couldn't wait to get an answer from this "hidden powerhouse."
"Shiki-san, since you have confidence, what do you plan to do?"
"The gap right now is too big..."
She counted on her fingers, repeating that cruel reality with an anxious expression.
"Class A has nearly 1000 Class Points, sitting firmly in first place, while our Class D... has only 0 points."
"The gap is too big! The gap is too big."
"Don't rush."
Shiki Natsu extended a finger and shook it gently.
"There is still a whole three years ahead. If we want to advance to Class A, it cannot be achieved overnight."
"Rice must be eaten one mouthful at a ti; the road must be walked one step at a ti."
"First, we must focus our goal on this upcoming midterm exam."
Shiki Natsu analyzed with clear logic.
"In this midterm exam, we must ensure that not a single person is expelled. If soone is expelled, it will definitely be unfavorable for future competition. And then... we must also seize the one hundred Class Points ntioned by Chabashira-sensei. As long as we go from zero to sothing, our odds of winning will increase by a point."
"Mn, I know this point too."
Matsushita Chiaki nodded.
"But how do we do it? The class right now is too chaotic."
"So, this involves the second point."
Shiki Natsu held up a second finger.
"Determine the true Leader of the class."
"In the current Class D, there are simply too many so-called Leaders. Hirata, Kushida, Horikita—every one of them wants to beco the class leader."
"But for a class, having only one voice is enough."
"Indeed..."
Matsushita Chiaki nodded in deep agreent.
In her view, although these three people each had their strengths, no matter who took the position, they couldn't convince the masses.
Although Hirata Yousuke looked very gentle and was quite well-connected among the boys of Class D, he was too kind, even sowhat indecisive. With this kind of personality, there was no way to lead Class D far enough in the cruel competition.
Although Horikita Suzune's individual abilities were decent, both in study and physical fitness, her social skills were just too terrible. Matsushita Chiaki didn't hate her too much—after all, she had communicated with Horikita Suzune, and compared to the initial atmosphere, it was already much better. Moreover, she could get the past exam questions. But... precisely because her social skills were lacking, she wasn't suitable to be Class D's leader.
Although Kushida Kikyou had good intelligence gathering abilities and could even solve the problem of leaking past exam questions, Matsushita Chiaki felt that Kushida Kikyou wouldn't do either, for reasons similar to Hirata Yousuke.
Both of them lacked the kind of ability that could support their gentleness.
Matsushita Chiaki raised her head, looking at Shiki Natsu with a burning gaze.
"But... if it's you... you can do it, right?"
"I believe in you."
In Matsushita Chiaki's subconscious, Shiki Natsu was a very formidable person. So in the dream, Matsushita Chiaki would also hold trust in Shiki Natsu—trust in Shiki Natsu's strength.
"As long as Shiki-san is willing to step forward..."
Matsushita Chiaki walked forward and spoke softly to Shiki Natsu.
"If there is anywhere you need help, I will assist you with all my strength."
"Although I usually don't show it much, I do have so ability."
"I will help you... beco Class D's only leader."
"Then I'll rely on you, Matsushita-san."
Shiki Natsu said with a smile.
"I will take you to see the scenery at that summit."
A brilliant smile appeared on Matsushita Chiaki's face; all the worries from a mont ago dissipated.
Just as Shiki Natsu wanted to say sothing else, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to change drastically.
It was as if the movie had been pressed on fast-forward.
The next second.
Shiki Natsu found himself standing on the podium, while the seats below were filled with "mosaic" faces.
All the students of Class D were cheering for him, shouting his na loudly.
Shiki Natsu beca the new Leader of Class D, as expected by everyone.
Then, under his wise leadership, Class D was like it had activated cheats.
The scene switched every few seconds.
Full marks for everyone in the midterm exam.
Class D achieved total victory in various competitive exams; even Class A lost to Shiki Natsu.
Whether it was Sakayanagi, Ichinose, or Ryuuen—all were defeated by Shiki Natsu.
Class D's Class Points rose continuously like they were riding a rocket.
100 points.
300 points.
500 points.
The gap with Class A was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And behind every glorious mont, there was Matsushita Chiaki's figure.
She was like a perfect hidden deputy.
Because she didn't like attracting attention and didn't want to expose her strength, she still maintained a low profile on the surface.
But in private, she provided various intelligence and help for Shiki Natsu.
The two of them, one in the light and one in the dark, cooperated tacitly, struggling together for the rise of Class D.
From Class D to Class C.
From Class C to Class B.
With the elevation of the class status, the relationship between Shiki Natsu and Matsushita Chiaki also seed to gradually heat up and draw closer during this side-by-side combat.
Shiki Natsu hadn't even reacted to what was happening before Matsushita Chiaki had already directly linked her arm with his.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, looking just like a young couple in the heat of love.
The scenes continued to change rapidly.
Finally, ti arrived at the third year of high school.
After the last special exam ended, Class D's points finally surpassed Class A, even if only by a ager advantage of 1 point.
Shiki Natsu successfully led Class D to advance to Class A.
As long as they stabilized this position in the remaining year, then all of them could graduate from Class A and obtain that privilege they dread of.
The thing Matsushita Chiaki had longed for most in her heart all along was finally achieved.
That night.
The scene switched again.
It was no longer a classroom, nor an exam venue, but a warm room full of a maiden's aura.
If nothing unexpected happened, that was Matsushita Chiaki's dormitory.
She held Shiki Natsu's hand, and the two sat by the bedside.
Matsushita Chiaki's face was completely flushed red, her eyes full of affection, her voice as low as a mosquito's buzz:
"Ne... Natsu..."
"Today... is a safe day..."
Just when Shiki Natsu thought it would continue...
Swish—
The scene switched ruthlessly again.
Skipped! Directly skipped!
Shiki Natsu stood in the auditorium with a dumbfounded look on his face, surrounded by sky-filling ribbons and applause.
Graduation ceremony.
No, the key plot was just skipped like that?
The dream continued to develop.
After graduation, Shiki Natsu and Matsushita Chiaki both found ideal jobs and beca elites of society.
The two were still together, their affection sweet.
Although the changes in this scene were ridiculously fast, even quite nonsensical, Shiki Natsu, who was in the midst of it, inexplicably felt he had experienced a quite long and fulfilling life.
Finally.
The scene froze in a sacred church.
Wedding ceremony.
Matsushita Chiaki wore a pure white wedding dress, beautiful beyond compare.
She looked at Shiki Natsu affectionately, slowly closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and offered her lips.
Just at the instant their lips were about to touch.
The dream changed again, collapsing instantly and returning to darkness.
Ring, ring, ring—!!!
Shiki Natsu opened his eyes abruptly.
Beside his ear was the piercing ring of the alarm clock.
It was already morning.
Shiki Natsu felt he could give this skill a bad review.
Who designed this skill? It's so trash?
And on the other side.
Girls' Dormitory.
Matsushita Chiaki also woke up from her bed with a start.
She gasped for large mouthfuls of air, her eyes blurred, seemingly still imrsed in that long and real dreamscape.
When those shaful images—linking arms, safe day, marriage—gradually flooded into her mind.
The girl's entire face flushed red instantly, like a thoroughly ripened apple.
She covered her face, dying of sha and indignation, feeling that sothing was slightly off down below, and then hurriedly grabbed a new pair of panties and rushed into the bathroom.
Splash, splash—
Matsushita Chiaki let the shower water pour over her body, seemingly trying to disperse the heat that had inexplicably appeared in her heart, and also... to forget so shaful things.
"Why... why would I have that kind of dream... Why would I say those kinds of words?"
"And the partner was actually... Shiki-san?!"
"Thank goodness it was just a dream..."
Matsushita Chiaki breathed a sigh of relief. This dream was too nonsensical, right? exactly how did it develop into that?
