Chapter 486: Mutual Guard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The news that Sakurai seemed to have transferred schools for Kirihara soon spread out during the last morning lesson through the phone. Almost everybody knew someone from another class due to the annual rearrangement of class, which resulted in the fast circulation of this information.

Thus, just ten minutes into the lesson, Lu Shu had started receiving numerous entries of distress points from other boys, ranging from one point to more than a hundred.

Lu Shu started pondering about his chances of igniting the sixth star should the news be spread to other high schools which Sakurai had influence in.

However, it required 1,600,000 points to reach the sixth star…

Suddenly Lu Shu began to look at Sakurai in a different light and his respect for her deepened. What a blessing in disguise!

Speaking of which, she had not done anything harmful so far, except for her incessant employment of honey trapping.

Then? Not only had she helped to revive the dojo business, she had also indirectly made a huge contribution to Lu Shu?s cultivation progress through distress points!

The catch, though, was making him many enemies outside. But did Lu Shu care about that? Absolutely not…

?My blessing… No, I mean, Sakurai, why did you transfer here??

?Because I want to stay with you, sensei, whenever possible,? she replied.

Sakurai had always been straightforward in her interaction with Lu Shu, but she highly doubted whether this moron could actually understand…

At noon, Lu Shu?s fifth star was lit up. Now he felt that Sakurai?s face was much cuter than before…

The bell rang and many students took out their bentos for lunch. Just when the seven boys were worried whether Lu Shu would ask them for food, Sakurai retrieved a box from under her table and said, ?Sensei, I prepared this bento for you.?

She opened the box herself, revealing fine-looking dishes inside. Lu Shu was surprised. ?You made it on your own??

?Yes, I did,? Sakurai replied with a cheerful smile.

Noguchi Yuki and the other six almost teared up on the spot. Sakurai was their true savior! Kirihara would have probably eaten their bentos again had Sakurai not prepared one specially for him!

Just a day before, they were still hoping that Lu Shu would leave some leftovers for them so that they would not have starved. It would be miserable if they had to play sports after school on an empty stomach!

But would Lu Shu do that? Nope. He literally finished seven bentos just to maximize his earnings of distress points from them… Honestly speaking, even Lu Shu himself did not expect his good appetite, probably thanks to his Practitioner abilities…

Meanwhile, the seven boys were on the brink of desperation staring at their empty lunch boxes…

Did Lu Shu dare to eat Sakurai?s bento? No. From the information given by the Heavenly Network, he learned that Collection of Gods Practitioners, be it the Conservatives or the Jingoists, were trained in poison!

Under her innocent look, who knew whether the Conservatives suddenly decided to kill him after repeated embarrassment?

Lu Shu grinned. ?If I eat yours, what do you eat??

Puzzled, Sakurai looked under Lu Shu?s table. ?But you did not bring any food, sensei.?

?Never mind. I have. Who?s that, err… Noguchi Yuki, be a good boy.? Lu Shu waved at the seven boys.

?From Noguchi Yuki?s distress, +666!?

?From…?

What? You didn?t even bother to bring your own bento? So you?ve decided to eat ours the moment you stepped out of your house?!

Complaints aside, they had no choice. In the next moment, seven bentos were opened in front of Lu Shu. What a variety of food!

Struggling to understand what was going on, Sakurai looked at the seven lunch boxes in shock.

?From Sakurai Yaeko?s distress, +666!?

Lu Shu was a bit unhappy, because from the next day onwards he would no longer be able to earn steady distress points from the seven of them. Sakurai?s party could easily sneak into the students? houses to poison their bentos, which eventually would be consumed by Lu Shu.

What a pity…

As he felt sorry for the loss, Lu Shu finished up the seven bentos, not leaving a single grain of rice…

?From Noguchi Yuki?s distress, +666…?

?From…?

Sakurai was confused. Could Kirihara?s wariness be due to his discovery of her true identity? But she had always been with her teacher in secret and never made any appearance among the Conservatives.

She had been specially crafted for this mission, and she even believed that she was not the only person trained by her teacher to serve such roles.

Therefore, her identity was kept absolutely secret. So, then, how did Kirihara Yousuke find out?

Yet, she hoped that was not the case.

Upon deeper analysis, there seemed to be many blind spots in Kirihara?s sudden change of temperament and a series of happenings after that. But Sakurai could not find any hints of disguise even when studying him so up close.

After finishing up the seven bentos, Lu Shu rubbed his face, as if to rub away his food coma. He could sense Sakurai?s confusion and her cautious stares on his face.

Then, Sakurai felt relieved. A mask could never withstand a rub like that, so he could not be anyone else but Kirihara Yousuke. Moreover, she knew full well that no mask could be so perfect, detailed and durable.

And that was the precise reason the Heavenly Network had chosen Lu Shu for this task.

Across the entire Network, only Lu Shu could transfigure into Kirihara Yousuke so seamlessly.

And the appearance of the mask relic had further strengthened Nie Ting?s belief to appoint Lu Shu as the person in charge of foreign affairs.
