Zongman: Evolution Paradise Chapter 136

“What do you want?” Xu Lun asked her.

Nakano Miku recoiled slightly and whispered, “Um… can you please not sleep in class?”

“Why?” Xu Lun looked at Nakano Miku strangely. She didn’t seem like the kind of study committee member who would worry about other people’s grades.

“Because as soon as I see you sleeping, I can’t help but feel sleepy, and before I know it, I’m asleep. It’s been like that for the past few days, and I haven’t learned anything…”

Nakano Miku explained the reason, her gaze drifting away awkwardly, hidden beneath her hair.

“The problem is, based on your entrance exam scores, even if you don’t sleep, you probably won’t learn anything in Soubu High’s classes, right?”

Soubu High, full name Chiba Municipal Soubu High School, was famous for its high deviation value.

In the Japanese education system, deviation value is a standard used to measure students’ academic ability, and Soubu High had the highest deviation value in Chiba City. Simply put, it was the high school with the highest admission score in the city.

Based on the data Xu Lun saw in the student roster, these few scores could only be described as having considerable room for improvement, with single-digit scores in all subjects.

With Nakano Miku’s grades, it was naturally impossible for her to keep up with Soubu High teachers’ teaching pace. Xu Lun was also curious why they transferred to such a school that was basically only for honor students.

Being mercilessly questioned by Xu Lun, Nakano Miku stiffly returned to her seat.

Words were not a sharp knife; the truth was.

She, Nakano Miku, really didn’t understand anything!

She could have used the excuse of being influenced by bad students and unable to study to deceive herself, but Xu Lun mercilessly exposed her.

Kato Megumi, observing the whole process, poked Xu Lun, “Xu Lun-kun spoke too harshly. Should we go comfort her?”

“If the truth is considered harsh, then it further proves that she’s not suited for Soubu High. When the next exam ends, the scores and rankings on the test paper will be much harsher than anything I said,” Xu Lun explained to Kato Megumi.

Grades weren’t everything, but the moment grades came out, most people couldn’t help but anxiously search for their names.

If that name appeared in other positions, it could be quickly relieved by other means. Only when it appeared at the very bottom, for someone who wanted to study, it would somehow feel like drowning in a crowd, lost and helpless…

Not being sidetracked by Xu Lun’s words, Kato Megumi quickly found the key point and calmly retorted, pointing at her lips, “That may be so, but Xu Lun-kun is changing the subject. The matter of grades, no matter what, is after the exam and hasn’t happened yet. But the fact that you said something harsh has already happened.”

“I feel like Megumi is getting smarter and smarter, but I still refuse.”

“Eh, why?”

Because of Nakano Miku’s interlude, Xu Lun didn’t continue sleeping and quietly listened to the class for a while, but it was really a bit too simple.

While an increase in intelligence didn’t necessarily mean becoming smarter, thinking ability, logical analysis ability, and memory ability were all growing.

And even if he hadn’t become a player, Xu Lun’s grades weren’t bad to begin with. After leaving Tokyo, he came to Chiba instead of Saitama or Osaka because Soubu High offered the most scholarships.

After the first class, Xu Lun watched Nakano Miku leave the room. After a while, Xu Lun, who was talking to Kato Megumi, was poked in the back again.

“Apologize to me.”

“Nakano Miku,” with her arms crossed, commanded Xu Lun indignantly.

Xu Lun glanced at her: tights, headphones on her shoulders, a hairstyle covering her right eye, but her hair color was more cherry-pink.

“Nakano Nino?” After confirming her identity, Xu Lun asked back strangely.

Nakano Nino, disguised as Nakano Miku, panicked slightly, and the courage she had just mustered dissipated a bit.

“I’m not Nakano Nino; I’m your classmate, Nakano Miku.”

Xu Lun retorted, “Who would explain their identity like that?”

“Are you sticking up for your sister?” Xu Lun asked, looking at her.

Nakano Nino stubbornly said, “I told you, I am Nakano Miku. Look at my clothes and hairstyle; I look exactly like Miku in every way, right?”

As she spoke, she even spun around in front of Xu Lun, showing off her appearance that was identical to Nakano Miku’s.

Nakano Nino, who had come because Nakano Miku was bullied, had forgotten her original purpose. Now she only wanted to know how Xu Lun had managed to distinguish her.

“Your hair clearly has a color difference. Nakano Miku’s hair color is a bit brownish, and your hair color is cherry-pink…”

Xu Lun calmly stated the difference, then saw a confused Kato Megumi and Nakano Nino.

“But the Nakano sisters’ hair I see is all the same color. There’s no color difference like you said, right?”

Kato Megumi said proactively.

Nakano Nino also looked confused, “Is there a color difference? We’re quintuplets; how could our hair color be different?”

“Huh?” Xu Lun was a bit strange and began to communicate with Jorogumo. A moment later, Jorogumo sent back an answer: from her perspective, the Nakano sisters’ hair colors were all the same, with no color difference, completely normal quintuplets.

“Am I the only one who sees the quintuplets as different?” Xu Lun began to ponder why this situation occurred.

According to the official setting of the original anime The Quintessential Quintuplets, the quintuplets’ hair colors were originally the same. It was only for the convenience of the audience that they appeared different from the audience’s perspective, while NPCs in the anime saw completely identical quintuplets.

The first time Xu Lun saw them, he thought they had dyed their hair or something. But now, it seemed that only he could see these differences, while others saw normal quintuplets…

Xu Lun was thinking, while Nakano Nino was in shock.

“He can actually tell us apart!”

Thinking this, Nakano Nino rushed out of the classroom in a panic, preparing to discuss this important matter with her other sisters.

“How did Xu Lun-kun tell them apart?” Kato Megumi asked Xu Lun curiously. If she remembered correctly, Nakano Miku had only transferred a few days ago, and Nakano Nino was in a different class.

“Perhaps Nakano Miku wouldn’t be so brave as to demand an apology from me.”

Xu Lun didn’t mention the color difference issue again; he felt there was something off about it.

“Why do you know Nakano Miku so well?” Kato Megumi asked, a question mark appearing in her mind.

…

Nakano Nino went to the restroom at the end of the corridor and found her four other sisters inside.

“How was it, Nino? With you stepping in, that Xu Lun must have obediently backed down and apologized, right?”

Nakano Ichika, the eldest sister with asymmetrical short hair and an earring on her right ear, asked Nino.

Nakano Miku, who had already swapped clothes and hair accessories with Nakano Nino, said sullenly, “Actually, what he said was right. If it doesn’t work out, then forget it. We shouldn’t have swapped places to mess with him.”

Nakano Nino took a deep breath and seriously told them, “He didn’t apologize at all! But that’s not important anymore… The problem is, he actually recognized me!”
