Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

It's said that the livehouse has undergone another renovation, but I don't know how it turned out.

Just as Kiku was pondering her next job, Jiang Qiu on the other side also took out the luggage that Toka had helped her pack earlier.

School bags and uniforms were all neatly arranged, and everything was prepared very properly.

The school uniforms are mostly a warm off-white color, adorned with simple patterns, giving them an elegant and neat style.

Outerwear, inner lining, tie, short-sleeved shirt, knitwear, trousers, capri pants

All the clothing styles were quite novel and attractive, not at all as monotonous and low-quality as I had imagined. It was as if the students were dressed up as models, which was extremely satisfying.

Jiang Qiu packed her things with great interest and carried them all to the living room.

Seeing the school uniform in his hand, Nijika and Mikasa immediately perked up, and suggested with some anticipation—

"Jiang Qiu, why don't you try it on first?"

"Now?"

"Look, even though the sizes are all custom-made, there are bound to be some errors."

"Yes, we'll wait."

Jiang Qiu grabbed a few items and ran back to her room.

However, as he left, Hongxia and the others noticed the blank medical examination form mixed in with his clothes.

After picking it up and taking a look, the two of them remembered.

"I almost forgot, we still need to have a physical exam when school starts."

"But why are Jiang Qiu's requirements so detailed? They even need to check the kidneys?!"

"It's part of the measures to address the declining birthrate. I heard there will be other supplementary measures to be added soon."

"I have this feeling that once this guy goes in, he'll be devoured, bones and all."

Chapter 34, Section 36: The Dazzling Youth Begins

On the first day of school, Jiang Qiu got up very early.

The parents, who had inadvertently forgotten about their son for the entire summer vacation, surprisingly called.

While giving instructions about school-related matters, he also mentioned how happy they were on their vacation.

Between the lines, Jiang Qiu could sense that this place seemed to be leaving her behind.

Fortunately, although her parents' care was perfunctory, at least Shihua and others were there for her.

Jiang Qiu had only been up for a short while when Shi Hua had already finished getting ready and Liu Hua rushed over, carefully tidying up her clothes.

"Don't dawdle on the way to school and be late. I've prepared bento boxes for you and Mikasa, all of which are your favorite flavors."

"Try not to get into arguments with others in the new environment, and if something happens, find a quiet place to talk to them."

"Although you and Rikka are not in the same class, I would still appreciate it if you could take care of her when you have time. This girl is really worrying."

"If there's a club you like, just apply. You should have no problem with social skills. If you're not interested in clubs, it's better to go home early."

While tying Jiang Qiu's tie, Shi Hua gave him detailed instructions.

Although her pretty face didn't reveal much expression, the concern in her eyes made Jiang Qiu's lips involuntarily curl upwards.

Noticing the guy's smug little thoughts, Shika gave him a light tap, then turned him around and smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes.

After confirming that everything was correct, she put the packed lunch boxes into Jiang Qiu and Mikasa's schoolbags.

At the same time, Mikasa also came out of the bathroom after washing up.

Wearing the brand-new school uniform, she undoubtedly gained a touch of quiet elegance, making her already tall figure appear even more slender, which caught Jiang Qiu's eye.

Shihua carefully examined the two of them, making sure nothing was missed, before she greeted them—

"Alright, it's about time to head out."

"Hongxia should be done soon too. The four of you can go together and look after each other."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Sister Shihua."

Shihua waved her hand and didn't say anything more.

As she left the room, she went to urge the still somewhat dazed Rikka, while Jiang Qiu and Mikasa quickly changed their shoes.

As the two arrived in the corridor, Hongxia was just being seen off from her room by Xingge.

Although it was the same school uniform, it made Hongxia look even more energetic and charming. With her constantly swaying, magnetically levitated ahoge (cowlick), she was so cute that Jiang Qiu couldn't help but pinch her little face.

Hongxia chuckled, seemingly quite pleased with Jiang Qiu's reaction.

While the three waited, Rikka, with her drooping ahoge (cowlick) hanging down, was reluctantly pushed out by Touka.

The same petite and cute school uniform outfit, paired with the iconic eye patch and bandages, inexplicably gives people a feeling of weakness and helplessness.

Especially when she pitifully squeezed towards them with her schoolbag, she looked like a poor little animal forced to go out and survive, which made people want to protect her.

Looking at the three people in front of her, she managed to muster a sliver of spirit—

"Oh, legendary giant hunters, trembling archangels, the seven deadly sins, born evil, all of you, awaken from your slumber!"

Snapped!

Before Rikka could finish her shouting, Touka delivered a swift chop to her head, abruptly interrupting her spellcasting.

"Let's get going!"

"You born evil Holy Healer, the Evil King's True Eye will one day slay you! Waaah—don't pull my ahoge! I'm leaving!"

With Jiang Qiu's ahoge (cowlick) holding her hostage, Rikka couldn't care less about going against Toka and obediently followed the three of them downstairs.

Watching the four figures leave, Shihua couldn't help but sigh, and could only pray that nothing would go wrong on the first day of school.

Noticing the other person's worry, Xingge chuckled and patted their shoulder to reassure them—

"Don't worry, with Jing here, these guys should be fine."

"I hope so."

While Shi Hua was worried, Jiang Qiu and the others also embarked on their journey to school one after another.

Perhaps because it's the start of the school year, there was a noticeable increase in traffic in the morning.

Along the roadside, one could see many people wearing the same school uniforms walking in groups, chatting and laughing. The youthful atmosphere made Jiang Qiu feel a little dazed.

Yuedu High School is not too far from Jiang Qiu's apartment building. Within a few minutes' walk, the number of shops along the way gradually increases.

The closer you get to the school, the more bustling the streets become, showing signs of forming a new commercial district.

Even a food court has opened right across the street from the school, and you can see a lot of students hanging out there.

However, thanks to the patrols and maintenance efforts of the Guard Bureau and Sarkaz Security Company squads, there was not a single sign of chaos near the shops on the street.

"Hey, doesn't Yue restrict dining outside of school?"

"There are really no restrictions. All the shops that open in this area have undergone strict review, so you can eat here with peace of mind."

"Compared to other high schools, Yue Du is more like an open university, more free, so it is quite popular."

"Moreover, the area is regularly patrolled by personnel from the Guard Bureau and Sarkaz Security, so security is guaranteed."

Listening to Jiang Qiu's introduction, Hong Xia also showed a thoughtful expression.

Back then, Jiang Qiu and the others were all going to take this exam, and she didn't think much of it and just followed along. She never expected to have such an unexpected reward.

It seems that high school life in the future will be more interesting than I expected.

As the four approached the school gate, the familiar figure waiting there immediately drew their attention.

"Sister Jing!"

Nijigae waved her little hand happily at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was chewing on a fried dough stick, raised an eyebrow and waved to signal the four of them to come over quickly.

However, when her gaze fell upon Jiang Qiu's slender and graceful figure, her eyes visibly became guilty, and she awkwardly looked away.

She only spoke after Hongxia and the others arrived—

"Come on, I'll take you to the registration area, then to the teaching building. After you've gotten to know everyone in your class, we'll go to the auditorium."

"The physical exam is in the afternoon. Do you have all the forms with you?"

"I brought them all. Aren't you the teacher in charge of receiving guests?"

"No, I came here specifically to wait for you."

Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Rikka's little head and explained, then led everyone straight to the sunshade that had been erected in the distance.

No sooner had they left than Lappland and his group appeared at the school gate.

Everyone looked around with shining eyes, their excitement surging.

Before the dog could even roam around and run free, Remienne grabbed it and pulled it back—

"You still need to report for duty, don't wander around."

"Let's find Jiang Qiu first; he's in the same class as you."

Chapter 35, Section 37: A Look in Their Eyes Confirms, They're Kindred Spirits

"Hey student, are you interested in joining the literary club? We have several of Yaedo's highly recommended works here."

"(I) Hey classmate, do you want to join the diving club? We don't have any dangerous people running naked here."

"Hey kid, would you like to come and visit the tennis club? No one's going to get killed on the courts right now."

"Hey friend, how about checking out Yuzusoft?"

"Hey little freshman, how about being a taste tester at the cooking club? The older girls here really welcome someone like you!"

Amidst the clamor of various student organizations lining the street to welcome and promote their products, Jiang Qiu, holding the newly distributed textbooks, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Did something strange get mixed in just now?

Before he could find the source of the anomaly, Hiratsuka Shizuka's urging voice drifted over—

"What are you standing there for? You'll have plenty of time to wander around after the physical exam. Go to the classroom first."

"Oh."

Jiang Qiu responded and obediently followed the group.

When everyone arrived at the newly renovated teaching building, they were still impressed by its neat and grand scale.

"This school is even more extravagant than I imagined."

"Many graduates of this school have returned to donate, and with the financial support from the school's board of directors, the high school is renovated almost every year."

"Take this building in front of us, for example. It was donated and renovated by the Camelot Group."

"However, most of the money they donated was used to renovate the school cafeteria, which cost more than several school buildings combined."

"Rhine Life Sciences donated a laboratory building, and they also specially provided the experimental equipment."

"There's also the grand auditorium and new media classroom, funded by the Paradise Group, etc."

As Hiratsuka Shizuka introduced the place, she led everyone into the building.

Wherever they went, the classrooms were filled with noise, brimming with youthful energy and restlessness.

However, looking around, the male-to-female ratio appears extremely skewed.

Being there feels like falling into a spider's web, giving one an inexplicable sense of unease and helplessness.

Even though Jiang Qiu was just walking in the corridor, the dangerous gazes emanating from the classroom still sent chills down his spine.

My high school life ahead will probably be quite challenging.

Just as Jiang Qiu was feeling nervous, a familiar greeting suddenly drifted over from behind—

“oi Jiang Qiu!”

Turning around, I was surprised to see Lappland and the others carrying a pile of textbooks.

Upon seeing familiar faces, Gouzi and the others broke into bright smiles.

"You came pretty quickly! We were just looking for you at the registration desk."

"With Sister Jing leading the way, the process is faster."
