Chapter 1762 Lunch or a battle?
Magic education is a trial-and-error thing, and accidents, which go beyond the level of minor mishaps, can easily happen directly through magic slip-ups from practice training and experiments. Students sometimes lose the ability to use magic after such accidents. As such, the First High School prepared two courses for their school: Course 1 and Course 2.
Course 1 students, referred to unofficially as 'Blooms' at First High, are the students who topped the entrance exam for the Magic High School, primarily scoring higher in practical skills, which are considered more important than theory and carry heavier weighting in the exam scores. Haru, Honoka, Shizuku, and Miyuki were on this Course.
Course 2 students, mockingly referred to as 'Weeds' at First High, are people who succeeded in entering the Magic High School but lacked practical skills compared to their Course 1 counterparts. It was also why they were discriminated against, but they couldn't do anything until the main character of the story came to Course 2.
After Haru said that he had a girlfriend, Honoka seemed a bit sad, but in this situation, he could only pretend that he didn't see anything since if he acted as he knew it, it would cause an awkwardness.
But even though Honoka was a clumsy girl, she was a very cheerful girl, so even though she felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn't want to show it and treated Haru as usual. After all, she had treated him like a friend.
Shizuku didn't say much, or rather, she was a type who didn't say much, but she somehow understood Honoka and treated Haru like before.
After all, both of them also understood that Haru was coming from the Rokkaku clan, and it was pretty normal for someone coming from such a huge clan to be engaged to someone from early.
During the lesson, they talked to each other like usual, but then Shizuku and Honoka noticed Miyuki, who was smiling all the time when she sat next to Haru, and there was a thought that crossed their mind.
'Does she like Haru?'
If Haru and Miyuki knew what those two were thinking, they could only sigh and be lost for words.
As Haru, Miyuki, Honoka, and Shizuku gathered, the people on Course 1 didn't say much. After all, the four of them were the best among Course 1.
"Haru, Miyuki-san, what are you going to do for lunch?" Honoka asked.
"Well, I might go to the cafeteria," Miyuki said, then looked at Haru. "What about you, Rokkaku-kun?"
"Well, how about you call me Haru as they do? It feels weird if you call me Rokkaku-kun," Haru said since he felt weird when someone called him Rokkaku.
"I don't mind." Miyuki nodded and said, "You can also call me Miyuki." Unlike most males who often watched with an obsession, attraction, mesmerization, etc., she had to admit that she didn't feel that way toward Haru since he didn't give her the same gaze as most men. Still, she also understood the reason, which was why she was comfortable with him.
"Sure." Haru nodded and didn't think too much.
Haru and Miyuki didn't think too much, but it was different for the people around them, who were dumbfounded at how close Haru and Miyuki suddenly were.
"Well, let's go to the cafeteria," Haru said.
Miyuki, Honoka, and Shizuku nodded.
Haru was about to go, but he turned back and looked at everyone. "How about you guys? Do you want to go together?"
"YES!!!" They said without hesitation.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, someone suddenly called out Miyuki.
"Miyuki!"
"Erika! Mizuki! Onii-sama!" Miyuki was pleased when she saw her brother.
Haru looked at the group of people in front of them and saw that there were four of them. All of them were from Course 2. He didn't look at Tatsuya, but rather both Erika and Mizuki, who Miyuki called, and had to admit that both of them were very beautiful.
'Is it because the the main character was on Course 2, so the author set it that way?'
'Well, that's probably the case.' Haru looked at Miyuki and said, "Well, Miyuki, if you want to go to lunch with them, then we'll part here." He didn't wait for them and walked with Honoka and Shizuku who also thought the same thing, but there was one guy who seemed to be smitten with Miyuki and couldn't read the mood so before this guy said something, he quickly grabbed this guy and said, "Morisaki, come with me."
"Eh?!" Morisaki was dumbfounded and said, "Wait, wait, why don't we invite Shiba-san?!" He really wanted to have lunch with Miyuki and talked with her, as for her brother, he didn't care much since he saw her brother was at Course 2, which meant that Tatsuya was only a "Weed", but the one who talked with him was Haru, who was coming from the Rokkaku clan and had hired some of his family to work as a bodyguard. He didn't dare to reject him, after all, he knew that Haru might become a big client for his family.
Haru looked at Morisaki Shun who was one of his classmates, who was coming from the Morisaki Family, who was known as "Quickdraw". Looking at Morisaki, he had to admit that this guy was quite unfortunate since the nickname of the "Quickdraw" was simply an insult for any guy, not that this guy understood since almost all the high school in this world was a virgin.
"Morisaki, do you like Miyuki?" Haru asked.
"Wh--?!" Morisaki was dumbfounded and his face turned red in an instant. "Wh - What are you talking about, Rokkaku-kun?"
"If you like someone, you shouldn't be too pushy or she'll hate you. You need to be considerate and not push your feelings too much toward the girl," Haru said while patting Morisaki's shoulder.
Honoka, Shizuku, and the girls were looking at Haru in a daze since they didn't expect him to say something so sweet, and somehow they understood why he had a girlfriend, which somehow made them sigh why the best man had always been owned.
"But they're just a "Weed"? Why does Shiba-san need to go have lunch with them?" Morisaki still couldn't accept it.
"Say, if you have a sister who has entered Course 2, will you have lunch with her at school?" Haru asked.
"Well, of course, she's my family." Morisaki nodded without hesitation.
"But what happens if your classmates suddenly tell you not to go and tell that your sister is trash and a "weed", what will you do?" Haru asked.
"Of course, I'll beat him up! If I have a sister, I don't care whether she's from Course 2 or not, I'll protect her!" Morisaki said without hesitation.
"That's it." Haru patted Morisaki's shoulder and said, "No matter how bad your family is, they're still your family, is it normal that you want to have lunch with them, and you'll see Miyuki every day, your chance to get her isn't zero. Come on, let's get lunch, I'm quite famished." But in truth, he knew that Morisaki's chance to get Miyuki was simply zero.
"Rokkaku-kun!" Morisaki said with a blush.
Everyone on the Year 1 Class A Course 1 laughed together when they saw Morisaki blush and the atmosphere became warm again even without Shiba Miyuki.
Miyuki, who was being left out suddenly felt complex, then looked at Haru, who was talking with the girls again, which made her frown.
"Miyuki, if you want to go with them, you should go."
Miyuki wasn't sure what to do, but in the end, she shook her head and said, "No, I can go with them later, I'll have lunch with Oniisama." She was very proud after all, and she wouldn't have a face if she joined them, so in the end, she decided to join them to have lunch, but somehow it was quite awkward, especially when she could hear how merry her classmates who were eating together were.
