The Teitan School Bully Trio

Xiao Ai followed Lin Ran's figure until it disappeared around the corner on the second floor before sitting down on the sofa. She took off her wet white stockings, revealing a pair of fair and delicate little feet.

The toes are round and cute, the instep is smooth, and the ankles are slender.

However, because my feet were soaked with someone's sweat earlier, they felt sticky with light water stains in the gaps, giving them the texture of a half-melted ice cream in the summer sun.

It smelled sweet and tempting, yet carried a subtle hint of awkwardness.

Akemi came out of the kitchen carrying breakfast. Seeing her sister's expression, she smiled and said, "Shiho, you and Young Master Ran are getting along quite well~"

"elder sister!"

Ai-chan, who was in a daze, blushed.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Mingmei smiled and put down the breakfast. "Come and get ready for breakfast. I made your favorite omelets today."

In the bathroom, Lin Ran stood under the showerhead, humming a song.

"We common folk are truly, truly happy today... Hey! Watch me transform water into a sword!"

His inner chuunibyou was burning. He made a hand seal in front of him with his right hand, widened his eyes, and tried to control the water flow with his mind.

"Pfft~"

He successfully smeared it all over his face.

"Tsk, still need to practice."

Lin Ran wiped his face, looked at the increasingly handsome and clear-eyed young man's face in the mirror, and grinned.

"What a handsome, dashing, and talented young man! He's as good-looking as Pan An and as talented as Cao Zhi!"

He boasted to himself in front of the mirror without any shame, "What a pity that such a stunningly handsome face can only be admired by himself every day. What a waste of talent! How heartbreaking it must be for women all over the world!"

...

Breakfast was already prepared in the restaurant.

Akemi made a Japanese breakfast today: miso soup, rice, grilled fish, omelet, and a small dish of pickles.

"Young master, eat quickly, it's getting cold."

"Thank you, Mingmei."

The two sisters were already seated at the dining table, but as the "male head" of the household, Lin Ran did not pick up his chopsticks first. Mingmei and Xiao Ai waited quietly as well, adhering to their etiquette.

Lin Ran didn't stand on ceremony. She walked over, sat down, said "I'm starting to eat," picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.

My appetite is especially good after exercising.

In addition, as genes are slowly being optimized, the body's energy demand is extremely high—scientifically speaking, this is the law of conservation of energy: gene recombination, cell upgrading, and muscle growth all require energy, which cannot be generated out of thin air and can only be obtained from food.

Simply put: the more you eat, the stronger you become.

He ate three whole bowls of rice in one go before finally putting down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

After breakfast, Lin Ran and Xiao Ai lounged on the sofa for a while, one because she was too full, and the other because she hadn't recovered from the afterglow of their "weight training".

"It's time to go to school." Lin Ran struggled to get up.

"Hmm." Ai reluctantly got up. Even elementary school students have to go to school. It's inhuman.

The two of them put on their backpacks and prepared to leave.

"Young Master Ran, wait a moment." Mingmei jogged to the entrance.

Looking at the handsome boy in front of her, the maid smiled and reached out to smooth out the wrinkles on his school uniform collar. Then, she stood on tiptoe and ruffled his hair.

I didn't blow-dry my hair after showering this morning, and now a single stray hair is sticking up, which the maid gently presses down.

"Okay, that's fine now."

Akemi admired her masterpiece with satisfaction, noticing her sister's resentful gaze, and smiled as she reached out to ruffle her sister's brown hair as well: "Alright, alright, Shiho got one too~ Big sister won't be biased!"

Ai: "..."

Could you be any more perfunctory?

So annoying!

She turned away with an air of nonchalance, went out, and headed to school.

……

Didan High School.

As soon as Lin Ran entered the classroom, the previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent, and the eyes of men and women flocked to his face like spotlights.

The next second—

"Lin Ran! You actually got published in an international journal!"

"Wow, that's amazing! My mom was watching the news on TV yesterday and asked me, 'Is that a classmate of yours?' When I said yes, she was stunned. She even called your name in her dreams last night..."

"Exactly, exactly. My sister even came over yesterday to ask me if I have a girlfriend..."

"Lin Ran, Lin Ran! Can I get your autograph? Just on my chest!"

"Let me touch the top student! To absorb some of their divine aura!"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ran was surrounded by her classmates.

Yesterday at school, although everyone saw that the reporters were very well-organized, with the mayor and ambassadors present, they still didn't have a clear understanding of the actual value of the "Sitapan Conjecture" and the "Journal of Symbolic Logic".

When they got home that night and checked the information, or after their parents explained it to them, they were all shocked!

Holy crap! My classmate is that awesome?!

What happened to our promise to be happy high school students together? What happened to our promise to secretly pass notes in class, discuss idol dramas after class, and agonize over whether or not to go to club activities after school?

Your awesomeness makes us ordinary folks seem so useless!

You're such a jerk... How's your health lately?

"Hey, hey, hey, one at a time, one at a time. Hey you, don't touch me like that..."

The barrage of questions left Lin Ran somewhat overwhelmed. Some girls even took the opportunity to grope him, and if he wasn't stopped soon, they would be heading straight for his private parts!

You can't touch that randomly, it could kill someone.

Yuanzi, who had been watching the scene with Xiaolan, became displeased when she saw someone make a move before her. She stood up, hands on her hips, and said, "Hey, stop crowding around! Can't you see Lin Ran is getting annoyed by all your questions?"

The young lady's authority was effective, and the students dispersed a little.

High school students are essentially innocent and adorable.

Although I think Lin Ran is very impressive, after the initial surprise, I will return to normal. At most, I will be a little more polite to Lin Ran and give him some face as a mathematician.

They also have many things to do: write love letters to the boys and girls they have crushes on, participate in their favorite club activities, and keep up with the latest comics and idols. Every day is busy and fulfilling.

The halo of academic excellence ultimately cannot overcome the restlessness of adolescence.

Were you guys watching me make a scene just now?

Having finally escaped, Lin Ran stuffed her schoolbag into the drawer, turned around, raised an eyebrow, and looked at the two girls in front of her.

Sonoko casually looked up at the sky, whistling, and muttered, "How could that be? Why would we watch your show? I just helped you out, didn't I, Ran?"

"Mmm, Lin Ran, you can't slander us, okay?"

Xiao Lan smiled and held up one finger, then shook it.

Two best friends, singing in harmony.

Lin Ran was completely helpless against the two of them. After laughing and joking around for a while, Yuanzi finally remembered her real purpose and looked at Lin Ran expectantly:

"Lin Ran, my sister is having a class reunion this weekend at a villa in Karuizawa. Do you have time? We could go together!"

"Your sister?"

Lin Ran's smile faltered.

Sonoko blinked her big eyes and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, my dear older sister! She's so kind, gentle, and beautiful! She said she wants to meet you~"

Bandaged man, cliff, axe, screams...

call…

Is your childhood trauma chasing after me?

As Lin Ran recalled the plot, she crossed her legs with a smug grin and said, "By the way, Yuanzi, are you and Xiaolan sure you weren't watching my show just now? I want to hear you say it again."

"Private Marseille! Lin Ranjun! I was wrong!"

Sonoko, the young lady, slid to her knees at lightning speed.

Her head slumped down and hit the table hard with a loud "thud," making her wince in pain and her eyes fill with tears.

The other students in the classroom silently turned their heads away—they couldn't bear to look; the second young lady of the Suzuki family had completely lost her integrity.

"Xiao Lan, what about you?"

Lin Ran turned her head triumphantly to look at another "accomplice".

Looking at her friend's pleading eyes, Xiaolan helplessly rubbed her forehead, then, imitating Sonoko, lowered her proud little head and said shyly, "Private Masai! Lin Ran-jun! I was wrong!"

How embarrassing! But for my best friend's happiness... I'll endure it!

"Hmm~ To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue~"

Lin Ran reached out and patted Xiao Lan's fluffy head, which made the girl blush. Then she smiled and said, "Since you've all admitted your mistakes, I'll be merciful and go with you."

"Yay! Lin Ran, you're the best!"

Sonoko cheered and pounced on her.

Feeling the soft touch on her arm, Lin Ran's lips curled up slightly, and the image of her gentle older sister, who always liked to squint, flashed through her mind.

Forget about shadows, bring it on!

Remember, all fear stems from insufficient firepower.

It's one thing if he's afraid without superpowers, but if he's still afraid even with superpowers, then what's the point of having superpowers?

……

The three of them played around for a while longer before returning to their respective seats when the school bell rang.

The students in the class were already used to this scene.

Back when Lin Ran first transferred to the school, some boys felt unbalanced because they saw that he, a transfer student, was getting along so well with the only two pretty girls in the class, and they wanted to "have a chat" with him.

School bullying, this scourge, is common in every country.

As a result... Lin Ran didn't even need to lift a finger. A group of boys had just surrounded him during their lunch break when Sonoko and Ran arrived. The violent girl single-handedly took on the whole group and gave them a sound beating, almost making them cry.

They just wanted to stand up for their older brother, Shinichi Kudo, so why did they get beaten up by their sister-in-law?

Most importantly, Sonoko also activated her young lady abilities.

A group of people didn't even dare to tell the teacher.

Anyone who dares to complain, no matter who your parents are or what your family does, I'll bankrupt your company tomorrow, believe it or not?

When the young lady said this, she exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance.

From then on, the boys in the class kept their distance from Lin Ran.

They even gave this trio a nickname in private:

The three giants of Teitan High School, the school bully trio.

One is rich, one is strong, and now there's another who's talented.

You guys are invincible, we can't afford to mess with you, we can't afford to mess with you.

...

I'm in a good mood today.

Lin Ran listened attentively to the lesson for five minutes before taking out the math book she had prepared from her bag. She propped her head up with one hand, her mind completely absorbed in the complex and wonderful embrace of the math goddess.

The foreign language teacher on the podium, seeing this scene, was not angry at all, but secretly pleased. Lin Ran had listened to her lesson for five more minutes, and she could brag about it to the other teachers when she got back.

The morning classes were generally uneventful.

In most Japanese high schools, formal classes are scheduled in the morning, while other classes, such as music, physical education, art, and swimming, are held in the afternoon.

Therefore, Lin Ran spent the entire morning reading.

The perfect version of the T-virus serum enhances the entire genetic system, including the brain.

The complex formulas and theorems in math books, which used to require a moment of thought to understand, can now be grasped at a glance, making learning much more efficient.

The only downside is...

"Gurgle~"

As noon approached and before get out of class ended, Lin Ran felt his stomach rumbling. The mental exertion was too great, and coupled with the fact that his genes were slowly evolving, his energy requirements were extremely high.

Hungry, so hungry, extremely hungry.

He was so hungry he saw stars, and he felt like the math goddess's face had turned into a delicious-smelling pancake.

Unable to concentrate on "serving" the math goddess on an empty stomach, Lin Ran listlessly slumped onto the table and nudged Xiao Lan, who was attentively listening to the lesson in front of her, with her pen.

A crumpled piece of paper flew past with a "whoosh".

Ran Mouri, a model student, had never encountered such a situation before. She quickly glanced at the teacher on the podium to make sure the teacher wasn't paying attention, then picked up the crumpled paper and quietly unfolded it under her desk.

[Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry—Lin Ran]

Xiaolan almost burst out laughing when she saw this sentence.

So even top students get hungry.

The waiting time was long, and Lin Ran, who felt like she was about to starve, suddenly noticed a small crumpled piece of paper being gently placed on her desk.

He looked up and saw that Xiaolan was still listening attentively, but her ears were slightly red.

Unfold the crumpled paper; it was written in neat handwriting:

"I only have chocolate, is that okay?"

Lin Ran smiled, quickly wrote on the back of the note: "Great, great, chocolate is a lifesaver! Thank you, little angel, you saved a genius's life from ruin!", then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it back.

Don't ask him why he didn't ask the garden for food.

The young lady is fast asleep in the back, drooling almost onto her textbook.

Xiaolan opened the note and glanced at it. Her pretty face flushed slightly. She took out two chocolates from her schoolbag, which were originally afternoon tea snacks she had prepared for herself and Yuanzi. Then she quietly slipped them under her desk behind her back.

Lin Ran reached out and took it, her fingertips inadvertently touching Xiao Lan's soft palm.

The girl's fingers curled slightly.

"Thanks."

"No, you're welcome..."

Upon receiving the treat, Lin Ran eagerly unwrapped the package, popped the chocolate into her mouth, and enjoyed the sweet taste that melted in her mouth, temporarily relieving her hunger.

Looking at Xiaolan's slightly reddened earlobes, I felt inexplicably happy.

This girl is so innocent.

It is as pure as a mountain stream, as clear as the sky after a rain.

So pure and innocent... it makes you want to tease her and see if more lovely ripples will appear beneath the calm surface.

"Ring ring—"

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

"Ah~ That feels so good~ get out of class is finally over! This young lady is resurrected!"

Like a hibernating frog, upon hearing the bell, Sonoko stretched and woke up from her sleep, rubbing her eyes. "Huh? Lin Ran, why do you look so pale?"

"I'm hungry," Lin Ran said weakly.

"Huh? You didn't have breakfast?"

"I ate three big bowls of rice."

Sonoko: "..."

Are you a pig? You can eat so much.

But it doesn't matter, her family is rich and can afford to support her.

Watching the two bicker, Xiaolan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Lin Ran seems to be exercising a lot lately, so she might be burning calories quickly."

"Sports?" Sonoko's eyes lit up. "What kind of sports? Group sports? I want to participate too!"

"You?" Lin Ran glanced at her. "You'd better make sure you get up on time every day first."

"Hey! What do you mean?!" Sonoko pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright," Xiaolan smoothed things over, "Let's go eat. I made a lot of bento boxes today, so I can share some with Lin Ran."

"Me too!" Sonoko quickly raised her hand, like a primary school student eagerly answering a question in class. "My chef made so many delicious things today! There's fried shrimp, tamagoyaki, beef patties..."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Lin Ran immediately stood up from his seat, took out the lunchbox that Mingmei had prepared for him, and led the way to the rooftop to grab a good spot, as there wouldn't be any good spots available later.

Two girls followed him side by side.

The other students in the corridor made way for them, looking at them with envy or admiration.

The Teitan School Bully Trio, on the move!

The goal is—the rooftop! And lunch!
