Cherry blossoms danced in the air — another new school year had begun.
Seigaku Middle School.
A typical Western-style academy that looked ordinary on the surface, yet was home to monsters like Kunimitsu Tezuka and Shusuke Fuji.
“Sigh…”
The entrance ceremony was painfully boring.
The principal droned on endlessly from the stage in the auditorium.
It honestly didn’t feel that different from China.
Out of sheer boredom, Ye Changfeng activated his signature skill from his previous life — standing sleep.
The students nearby suddenly heard snoring.
One boy nudged his friend.
“Dude, look!
This guy is actually sleeping while standing!”
“No way… he really is!
That’s insane.
How do you even sleep standing up?” his friend whispered in awe.
The whispering woke Ye Changfeng up.
He felt annoyed.
‘These brats interrupted my nap… Whatever.
It’s a talent.
You guys could never learn it even if you tried.’
Thankfully, the ceremony finally ended.
Ye Changfeng was assigned to Class 3 of the first year.
“Year 1 Class 3… got it.” He found the classroom and walked in confidently.
About two-thirds of the students had already arrived.
He picked a seat in the back row and sat down.
Soon, the rest of the class arrived.
A beautiful figure walked into the room.
“Everyone, quiet down please!” A clear, authoritative female voice instantly silenced the noisy classroom.
Ye Changfeng looked toward the voice and saw a woman in professional attire.
Gentle eyes, elegant eyebrows, shoulder-length black hair falling naturally — she had the classic beauty of an Eastern lady.
Ye Changfeng’s breathing quickened without him realizing it.
Most of the boys in class had the exact same reaction.
“Great.
My name is Matsushima Nanako, and I’ll be your homeroom teacher for the next three years.
I hope we can all help each other and enjoy our time together,” she said with a warm, magnetic voice.
“Nice!” Ye Changfeng immediately started clapping loudly.
The rest of the class was still frozen, stunned by how fast he reacted.
The other boys finally snapped out of it and joined in.
The applause quickly filled the room.
“Thank you.
Now, let’s go around and introduce ourselves so everyone can get to know each other,” Matsushima Nanako said with a smile.
“I’m Horio Satoshi.
My favorite sport is tennis, my favorite manga is Raw, and my favorite food is…”
‘This kid talks way too much…’
“…”
“Ryoma Echizen.” The boy was as cool and short as expected.
Finally, it was Ye Changfeng’s turn.
“My name is Ye Changfeng.
I’m from China.
My favorite thing to do…” He looked straight at Matsushima Nanako with a grin.
“Is getting close with the teacher and doing all the fun stuff together.”
The entire class froze.
Matsushima Nanako’s face turned slightly red.
‘This student is from China?
How interesting… And he’s kind of handsome.’
All eyes turned to Ye Changfeng.
Only now did the girls in class really notice him standing up.
Sharp features, a lean yet powerful build with streamlined muscles that hinted at explosive strength, and a height of around 170 cm — significantly taller than most first-year boys (especially compared to Echizen’s 151 cm).
He stood out immediately.
“So handsome…” one girl muttered dreamily.
“Yeah, he looks so cool!
And he’s a foreigner too!” the girls whispered excitedly among themselves.
Most of the boys, however, were clearly unhappy.
“What the hell?
This Chinese guy is so full of himself.
Does he really think he can hit on our teacher?” a chubby boy grumbled.
“Yeah, I hate guys like him who act all arrogant.”
Ye Changfeng completely ignored them and continued openly admiring Matsushima Nanako from every angle.
‘Middle school kids don’t understand true appreciation.’
On his very first day, Ye Changfeng had already become famous in class.
He earned all sorts of labels without even trying: handsome, bold, perverted, arrogant, etc.
The actual classes, however, were pure torture for him.
Japanese middle school material was ridiculously simple and boring.
Ye Changfeng spent most of the morning using his standing sleep technique to survive.
Ding dong…
School finally ended.
Ye Changfeng shot out of the classroom at lightning speed, leaving both the teacher and students stunned.
He grabbed his tennis bag, asked a random student for directions to the tennis club, and headed straight there.
‘Time to finish the first main quest and collect those points.’
Just as he was thinking that…
