Chapter 40 A Difficult Character to Deal With

"What is your relationship with Horikita Suzune?"

This question suddenly came out of the mouth of Fang Li without any warning, and entered the ears of Horikita Manabu.

"Suzune?"

Horikita Manabu's chaotic breathing paused briefly. First, he frowned, then relaxed.

"Come to think of it, you came to the recruitment meeting with her last time, didn't you?" Horikita Manabu pushed up the glasses on his face and said expressionlessly, "Do you have a good relationship with Suzune?"

"Someone asked me this question recently too." Fang Li shrugged and said directly, "One question per person."

Horikita Manabu remained silent for a while and then nodded, giving an answer.

"She is my incompetent sister."

This answer was almost exactly what Fang Li had predicted.

Since they have the same surname, the first suspicion was that they might be siblings. Moreover, Horikita Suzune's behavior also indicated this.

For example, Horikita Suzune was extremely dissatisfied with being in Class D and was overly obsessed with moving up to Class A.

This might be understandable as Horikita Suzune's overly high self-esteem and self-confidence were at play.

Now that it had been confirmed that Horikita Manabu was Horikita Suzune's brother, Fang Li had another explanation for Horikita Suzune's behavior.

"Is it because of having an overly excellent brother that she can't accept that she can only be in the worst class?"

This was still just a guess, but it was probably the right answer.

At least, based on Fang Li's understanding of Horikita Suzune, this kind of thing was highly likely to happen to her.

Thinking back to the recruitment meeting, when Horikita Suzune looked at Horikita Manabu with a complex emotion of pride and inferiority, she probably looked up to her brother's excellent talent and aspired to grow like him.

However, her brother was the most outstanding talent in this meritocracy-oriented school, while Horikita Suzune, as his younger sister, could only be the worst student in Class D. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Horikita Suzune.

Therefore, Horikita Suzune was unwilling to stay in Class D and was determined to move up to Class A.

"Now it's your turn to answer my question."

Horikita Manabu calmly urged.

This made Fang Li smile wryly.

"Compared to why you came to find me, it seems like you're putting the confirmation of my relationship with your sister first now."

Fang Li's words made Horikita Manabu fall silent.

Ignoring his reaction, Fang Li answered the question.

"I have no relationship with your sister."

Leaving these words behind, Fang Li turned around and started jogging again.

This time, Horikita Manabu didn't follow.

He only had one thought in his mind.

"This person is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

This was Horikita Manabu's only thought at the moment.

"At first, he forced me to run with all my strength, reaching my limit, and then in that state, he asked me questions, leaving me no time to think, and expecting me to answer directly with his goal in mind. Then, he took the opportunity to trap me with his words, right?

In other words, Horikita Manabu not only failed to achieve his goal in this encounter with Fang Li, but he was also completely played by him.

Before confirming Fang Li's abilities, Horikita Manabu had not intended to invite him to join the student council at this stage. However, he exposed his intentions today.

"I have to admit, Suzune, your insight is pretty good this time."

After speaking, Horikita Manabu turned and left.

...

Advanced Nurturing High School, Year 1 Class D.

As soon as Fang Li entered the classroom, he was greeted by two furious individuals.

"Nanaya!"

"You bastard!"

Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki both yelled loudly, looking like demons as they charged towards Fang Li.

In the face of this exaggerated attack, Fang Li's expression remained unchanged.

"Good morning."

While greeting them, Fang Li subtly turned his body, avoiding Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki's charge at a perfect angle and continued walking forward.

"Bang!"

A loud impact sound came from behind him.

"Gu...!?"

"Pu...!?"

Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki's muffled groans rang out. However, Fang Li didn't even turn back to check, instead, he walked directly to his seat and sat down.

Seeing Fang Li's effortless movements and smooth actions, the students in the class were all dumbfounded.

Even Ayanokouji Kiyotaka couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"So, you're that skilled."

At these words, Fang Li didn't show any reaction, only asking a question.

"What's wrong with these two?"

In response to Fang Li's question, it wasn't Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who answered, but Horikita Suzune, who was sitting in her seat reading a book.

"You should be aware of your own behavior," Horikita Suzune said in a tone that could not be discerned as ironic or perfunctory. "After all, you brought a girl into your room last night. Did you really think no one would react to that?"

Horikita Suzune's words explained the reason for the current situation.

There was no doubt that it was because Kushida Kikyou had been alone in Fang Li's room last night that had caused Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki to be so excited.

Looking closely, it was not only Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, but even the other boys in the class were more or less throwing sharp glances at Fang Li.

On the other hand, the culprit herself, Kushida Kikyou, seemed unaware of the situation here, chatting with her friends. When she noticed Fang Li looking at her, she smiled cutely and waved at him, causing envy in those around her.

"Really, I'm amazed," Horikita Suzune said emotionlessly.

"Even though such a thing happened just yesterday, it's only been a day and the tension has already disappeared. Are the people in this class so nonchalant about it?"

Obviously, Horikita Suzune was already helpless in this situation.

Especially when she looked at Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, who were still lying at the door of the classroom, her expressions was extremely cold.

"Three weeks later is the midterm exam. If they can still pass in this state, then I have to doubt the level of this school."

After making such a statement, Horikita Suzune continued to read her book by herself.

By the way, Sudou Ken hasn't arrived in the classroom yet, and he's probably going to be late again.

If there are no surprises, these three people will be in the most danger during the midterm exam, right?

The performance of these three people seems to have also led Horikita Suzune to make an observation with a cold eye.

Without even thinking, it's easy to know how disappointed Horikita Suzune is with these three people.

Fang Li just looked at Horikita Suzune like this, then immediately looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

But Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did not make any comments. He came to the side of Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, who were dizzy and helped them up.

Fang Li sneered indifferently. "Let me see what it will be like after the mid-term exam."

Although Fang Li can already predict what will happen.
