"Dad, how could you do this without my consent..."

"Enough!!!"

This is the first time my dad has ever yelled at me since I was born. I don't understand, I'm really confused!

"This marriage is not just for you, but also for the future of the Eastern Alliance Army!"

The future of the Eastern Alliance Army? I almost dropped my jaw. After the New Era Incident, the Eastern Alliance Army and the Western Alliance Army divided the entire alliance equally, but what does that have to do with me marrying into the Eastern Army?

"You must marry General Orjin's daughter this time. Only through this marriage can we prove that our two headquarters are officially cooperating."

"I'm not going!"

"You! Come here now, you must meet your fiancée today!"

Just as I was about to turn around and head home with my bike, a black hovercar had already stopped not far behind me. Three soldiers in police uniforms grabbed my shoulders and covered my mouth before throwing me into the back seat.

"You... mmm!"

They were wearing the crest of the Tsubaki family on their combat uniforms!

"Let go of me!"

They drove the car towards the direction of Sakura Sea Academy, and sure enough, these guys were sent by my dad to monitor me.

After the New Era, hovercars, as military vehicles, became the most advanced land vehicles in modern forces. Their speed was indeed formidable. We arrived at the threshold of Sakura Sea's gate in less than half a minute.

An elegant old man dressed in a purple-gray kimono and my messy dad in military uniform stood together, creating a sharp contrast. It seemed they were waiting for me for a long time.

"This is my child, Juxi. Juxi, meet your Uncle Ao Zhen!"

"Hehe, not bad! Seems like a good dish to my daughter's taste, hahaha!"

What kind of words are these? I was referred to as a dish for his daughter by this old man? I pointed to myself and asked him.

"Are you mistaken?"

"Ah, mistaken?!"

The old man suddenly became furious, blowing his beard and staring at me.

"What's wrong with my daughter that you think she's not good enough for you? Speak up!"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that!"

The old man was thin and irritable, but I quickly shook my head to deny.

"I meant that someone like me is not worthy of your precious daughter. You'd better look for someone virtuous and capable."

At this moment, I seemed to see General Ao Zhen signal my dad, and then my dad angrily came up and slapped me on the head.

"You ungrateful brat! When you have a good thing, you don't appreciate it. Are you planning to spend your life with a man in the future?!"

"No, I didn't mean it that way. If you all think that, then I'll agree..."

Although I tried to lower my voice as much as possible, that damn old man's ears were especially sharp.

"Then you should get along well at school, I'll go first!"

"Yes, Mr. XinHai, take care!"

My dad respectfully bid farewell to the old man, then gave me a clever look, meaning that I did a good job cooperating.

But I had a vacant look in my eyes, and nothing mattered anymore.

"Hey, son?"

My dad waved his big hand in front of my already dazed face, but I was numb and had no intention of paying attention to his actions.

"Cheer up, when I was young, I entered into marriage with your mom just like this. Look at us now... that's true!"

Before he could console me, he fell into a deep melancholy, squatting on the side of the road and took out a cigarette to smoke.

Anyway, no matter how my dad tried to comfort me, it was difficult for me to feel better.

"Maybe you're right, I'll go to class."

I looked down at the student council badge hanging on my chest, and remembered that my attitude yesterday was indeed a bit too much. I should sincerely apologize in the student council office."Since I haven't even seen my classmates yet, I'll go to the classroom first."

My class is in Class A1, the first classroom on the left on the first floor.

I found it, but all the students in the class were still in class, and I had just arrived at school, so should I just go in and report?

Anxiously, I arrived at the classroom door and first comforted myself.

Then, summoning up the courage, I shouted loudly, "Reporting!"

After listening carefully and hearing no response from inside the door, I opened a crack to observe the situation inside the classroom.

"What? So there's nobody in the classroom during this class?"

The timetable stated that this class was a cooking class, turns out it was a false alarm.

After surveying the surroundings, I realized there were still more than twenty minutes before class ended. I could take out my game console and enjoy a game to my heart's content before that!

Finding my seat, I casually threw my bag into it and entered a state where I shut out all external disturbances, immersed in madly manipulating the joystick.

(Class A's current classroom, cooking class)

"Wow, the stewed meat and potatoes cooked by the all-powerful Queen Student Council President is simply incredible. I've decided, I'm going to marry the Student Council President and eat stewed meat and potatoes every day!"

Unable to resist the temptation, I tried to secretly use chopsticks to pick up a piece and taste it, but the Student Council President stopped me and firmly locked my hand to the cutting board.

"Wait for Chiba to finish cooking before we all eat together. As for marrying me... I already have a fiance!"

"Oh... okay."

Chastised, I retracted the reaching chopsticks and then, in a fit of anger, began banging on the table with my bowl and chopsticks, creating a clanging sound.

"Hey, I've run out of cooking wine for dealing with the fishy smell. Wait for me a moment, I'll go to the classroom and get some fresh cooking wine."

After saying that, the President casually wiped the large bead of sweat on her forehead and walked towards the classroom of our class, while at this very moment, oblivious to the approaching danger, I still sat at the table with my headphones, engrossed in my game.

"Hahaha, you bunch of trash!"

Seeing my character in the game dominating among the other players, I felt a sense of invincibility.

"Juxi, classmate!"

"Wow, it's a legendary god-tier equipment, it finally dropped!"

"Are you an elementary school student? Hurry up and come back to reality!"

"Yo, Death Scythe, accept the radiant glory of the reaper..."

"Juxi, classmate!"

The President quickly grabbed the headphones on my head and shouted into my ears.

"Ouch, that hurts! Couldn't you have just asked? Did you want to make me deaf?!"

I immediately took off the severely tilted headphones and met her gaze, using a pitiful, apologetic look to apologize for changing my route the day before yesterday.

"What? So it's the honorable Student Council President. I'm sorry about the other day."

"What kind of attitude is that? And, do you think this half-hearted apology is enough?"

"What else do you want? Do you want me to perform hara-kiri as an apology?"

I replied irritably, then stared at her defiantly.

"I mean, you really have thick skin. Daring to come back after what you did?"

The President crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking down on me disdainfully. I refused to back down and lowered my head to continue playing my game, but this time it became much quieter.

"I'm asking you a question, are you playing again?"

The President got angry and snatched the game console from my hands.

"I'll confiscate this for the time being, and give it back to you after school!"

I wanted to fight her to the end, but my body refused to cooperate and I was stuck motionless in my seat.

Once the President achieved her goal, she shook the game console in front of me with her delicate fingers, then threw me aside and left with my game console and a bottle of cooking wine for the cooking classroom.

"Sigh, the President has so much power, can't I stand up against her?"It's better to wait until after school to go to the office to get my game console. For now, I'll just lie on the table and catch up on sleep for the past few days. After all, these past two days of battles have really left me breathless. Playing games tirelessly really takes a toll on the mind and body.

Coming to this school wasn't just a decision made by my dad. It was also because there was a dream waiting for me at the Sakura Sea Academy.

I calm myself down and lie on the desk, gazing out at the distant Sakura Sea outside the window. Sakura Sea Academy is situated on a high ground, so the view of the city is exceptionally clear. Although it's not the season for cherry blossoms to bloom, the snow-covered branches are a natural artwork with their own intentions.

Besides that, there is a secret here that I can't reveal. I plan to slowly uncover it because I trust my intuition. I'm not crazy!

After cooking class, many girls come back to put away the leftover utensils. Seeing an unexpected guest like me, they naturally become curious.

"Wow, sisters, look! Such a handsome boy!"

"Too bad, don't have any hopes. Our student council president has a thing for older guys!"

Two girls block the entrance of the classroom, reluctant to come in. Everyone is discussing my presence.

"Who is this..."

"Big sis, do you know him?"

Ren, who was sent over by the student council president to do the manual labor, takes a careful look at me sleeping on the desk and immediately nervously turns her head.

"No... I don't know him!"

Ren leaves the scene, covered in sweat.

"We should go now." "Yeah, let's hurry back before the president sees us."

The classmates chatter and leave one after another. The once crowded classroom instantly becomes empty.

"Should I go back now?"

When I open my eyes again, the classroom is already in twilight. Almost all the students have left.

"Yawn!"

Yawning, it's time to go get back my game console.

Arriving at the student council office, the first thing I say when I open the door is:

"Hey, where's my game... uh?"

Except for the game console on the table, the office is empty. I touch the back of the console and feel some heat. Is it just my imagination?

"Forget it, I don't care. I'm taking it!"

I shout at the empty office and quickly leave this place filled with troubles.

Back at home, I eagerly check today's power level and, of course, my land god armor...

"Huh?"

Did I get it wrong? I checked and the warehouse wasn't full, but why did my Ocean Crystal Armor disappear from my backpack without a trace?

This ending makes me somewhat angered and ashamed. No wonder the ventilation on the console was so hot. It turns out the student council president took my equipment. This is truly going too far!

"Dragon Breath, are you online?"

Although I'm still angry, facing Neiko sister, I put aside the president's fault. After all, this game is almost finished, and equipment isn't that important.

Then I scroll through the chat history on the screen.

"Dragon Breath little brother, guess what? I got a piece of armor today with the Crimson Flame effect!"
