Chapter 271: 80. Protect someone like this_2

"Prospective Big Shot"

The sakura-clad girl once again shook her head disdainfully and said to her companion, who was sweating profusely,

"That person has visited our home before. What ’prospective big shot’—my mother said it’s merely all flash and no substance."

However, as she spoke, the students walking in front of them couldn’t help but curiously look at Sakuragi Hitomi and say,

"Wait a minute... Sakuragi senpai isn’t the President, she’s... the Vice President, right? So who is the current Yuanyue Student Council President?"

Sakuragi Hitomi was taken aback for a moment, and just as she was about to explain to the student, another student who was hanging their head suddenly raised their hand,

"The current President is Yan Huan. I... I know him... he used to be from our school."

"Yan Huan... from your school? Student, which school are you from?"

"South District... Southern District Jinghe Middle School."

"South District?"

All the other students looked over, somewhat surprised.

These students either came from Jinghe District, the slightly more modest North Sea District or Luqiao District, or else from the Linmen Four Outer Islands.

How could it be that someone from the chaotic South District became President?

The student from the South District felt embarrassed under their gazes but quickly explained earnestly,

"That senior is really amazing! During Linmen’s first national regional unified exam last year, only two people in the nation and region scored full marks!

"One of them is this President of Yuanyue, the other is the current President of the Xiuzhi Academy Student Council!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, even the sakura-clad girl who had been arguing, was stunned.

The first Lin Gate national joint examination, that uncompromisingly ruthless assessment from the Linmen Education Bureau, taught every school, big or small, a lesson.

Difficult!!

This sakura-clad girl evidently knew the difficulty of the exam and understood the weight of being one of the only two people in the nation to score full marks.

Nevertheless, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said to her companion,

"Just based on... judging solely by grades..."

But turning her head, she saw that the girl who had been listening to her ramble had apparently had enough and had walked far away.

She opened her mouth, reached out towards the direction in which the girl had left, but of course, the girl was not coming back.

Watching the surrounding students begin to whisper to each other with shocked expressions, Sakuragi Hitomi smiled and pointed towards the exit,

"Alright, everyone, this concludes our visit to the Yuanyue Clock Tower. Please line up in an orderly fashion to leave and do not linger in the school.

"The school is currently preparing for the club wars, so please don’t cause any trouble for your older brothers and sisters, okay?"

Everyone replied in unison,

"Okay~"

Afterward, they all seemed to understand and walked towards the outside of the Clock Tower while exchanging thoughts.

Sakuragi Hitomi stood smiling on the spot, seeing them off, but when the sakura-clad girl walked past her, she covered her mouth with a laugh and said,

"It seems, you’re very satisfied with your life in a foreign land, big sister~"

Sakuragi Hitomi came back to her senses and looked at the petite sakura-clad girl who was not much shorter than herself, sighed, and said,

"Yes, unlike you who have been in Lin Gate for a while now, you probably don’t have a single friend, right?"

"..."

The sakura-clad girl’s amused covered laugh suddenly stiffened, and then she furiously pointed at Sakuragi Hitomi and said,

"Hmph, Sakuragi Hitomi! Strong ones always walk alone, it is the weak that seek warmth in a group... It seems being away from the family for so long has made you so weak... ha... hahaha..."

Sakuragi Hitomi watched the girl before her burst into laughter, and after a moment of silence, she said,

"If you want to cry, just cry. There’s no one else here."

"Ha... hahaha... Why would I... sob... sob..."

While speaking, the girl in front of her began to tear up pitifully and said in bewilderment,

"Waaaah!! They all ignore me!! Sob sob sob... It’s been several months... and I am still... still alone... I want to go back home... I don’t want to stay in this dump anymore..."

Sakuragi Hitomi gave an exasperated look and then gently tapped her on the head, saying,

"If you change your habit of being argumentative, acting know-it-all, and not being honest, maybe you’ll make some friends soon."

"Really... is that true?"

"Really..."

Sakuragi Hitomi withdrew her hand, her expression becoming half-mocking,

"Besides, Sakuragi Ryou, my cousin, remember to be polite, call me by my name properly, don’t just blurt out your sister’s name, okay?"

"!!"

Sakuragi Ryou, upon seeing such an expression from Sakuragi Hitomi, was instantly scared enough to gasp.

She silently nodded her head, then took a few steps back to leave. However, her expression changed abruptly, and she made a face at Sakuragi Hitomi,

"Not at all!! Dummy Sakuragi Hitomi!! Acting all high and mighty just because you’re a few years older, hmph!"

A vein throbbed on Sakuragi Hitomi’s forehead, but in the next second, the girl turned around and ran off in a hurry.

Leaving Sakuragi Hitomi annoyed and helpless.

She turned and walked towards the Clock Tower’s exterior viewing gallery. Going around the gallery, she could overlook the vast campus from the center.

"That idiot has no sense of direction; after chatting with me for so long, she better not have lost track of the main group..."

Leaning on the railing, Sakuragi Hitomi gazed into the distance, a breeze brushing past and silently erasing the polite smile from her face as if it were a mask, leaving behind a cold indifference meant to keep strangers at bay.

Just as Sakuragi Hitomi seemed to be enjoying the view, a female voice suddenly echoed beside her,

"Miss Sakuragi."

Sakuragi Hitomi continued to look at the scenery of Yuanyue Academy below, recognizing the newcomer by the sound of her voice, and listened as the woman went on to say,

"Unexpectedly, the esteemed Miss of the Sakuragi Family is assigned as a mere tour guide in school."
