NOVEL WEB Chapter 4: CHAPTER 3
Rosewood arrived in front of his desk which was inside the classroom of the class under the eyes of several students who were in the school. Upon arriving in front of his desk, Rosewood immediately removed his school bag, hung his school bag on the hanger on the right side of his desk, pulled the chair behind his desk, and then immediately occupied the chair.
Konohagakure Village is an organization with the same status as Sunagakure Village. Although it has the same status, in terms of combat power, and other aspects, Konohagakure Village is much better than Sunagakure Village. This information is information known by residents from the shinobi world, and from the world currently occupied by Rosewood, with the note that residents from the world currently occupied by Rosewood have come to visit the shinobi world, and then have collected information or studied.
All the students in the classroom of the class currently occupied by Rosewood, have come to visit the shinobi world, and have gathered information in that world. Therefore, they know that Rosewood has made the right choice in choosing the organization to affiliate with. However, it seems that at this time, none of them dare to try to approach Rosewood. Whether it has something to do with their relationship with Rosewood, or some other reason, what is certain is that almost all of the students in the classroom of that class have the desire to be close to Rosewood but there is something that is holding them back at this time from being able to do the desire that they have.
Since no one dared to approach Rosewood, only looking at him with a gaze full of desire, Rosewood sat on his seat quietly. He closed his eyes as if he were sleeping, but, he was currently listening to the conversations of all the students in the classroom of the class with his ears that had been covered by his chakra, causing his hearing ability to increase several times compared to before.
Through his current information gathering, Rosewood learned that aside from Ike, others chose one of the five strongest ninja villages from the shinobi world as their affiliation. Sotomura Hideyoshi, and Rokusuke Koenji, were both among the other two students in the classroom of the class who chose one of the five strongest ninja villages as their affiliation organization.
Sotomura chose Iwagakure Village. Meanwhile, Rokusuke Koenji chose Kumogakure Village.
That means, currently in the classroom of that class, there are already four people who have chosen one of the five strongest ninja villages as their affiliation.
The four people include:
Shirou Rosewood – Konohagakure Village.
Kanji Ike – Sunagakure Village.
Sotomura Hideyoshhi – Iwagakure Village.
Rokusuke Koenji – Kumogakure Village.
Among the five strongest ninja villages in the shinobi world, only Kirigakure Village has yet to have someone of that class choose the village as an affiliated organization.
[The door is open!]
A few minutes after a student from the class arrived at the classroom, the entrance door at the front of the classroom suddenly opened. Several students, even Rosewood who were currently gathering information, suddenly stopped what they were doing, opened their eyes, and directed their attention towards the open entrance of the classroom.
"Please return to your seats!"
A dominant voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the entrance.
Hearing the words spoken by someone coming from the entrance using a dominant tone, all the students who were not currently in their seats in the classroom immediately returned to their respective seats.
A woman in a black and white professional work suit walked into the classroom. The woman had a well-proportioned body. She was about 170 to 175 centimeters tall and had a body that was highly desired by both women and men with different meanings for men. She had long black hair that was currently tied back. Her eyes were black, beautiful. She had bright white skin and no wrinkles or scars on the skin area that could be seen by someone directly. Her face was smooth, she had a beautiful appearance, as well as a cold, mature charm behind her face.
"Sensei," Ike suddenly greeted the woman, who turned out to be the homeroom teacher of the class, "Are you also going to the shinobi world?"
The woman, who had just finished closing the entrance she had just passed through to enter the classroom, immediately answered Ike's question while walking towards the podium in front of the classroom, "This world is slowly beginning to change, from the world, we know to a world unfamiliar to us. Everyone aged fifteen to forty is allowed to go to another world to gain the power to survive the attack of beings from the dimension of chaos less than a year from now. Given such an opportunity, the conditions have been met, but, choosing not to go there? Only a fool would do such a thing,"
"Hearing what you said, Sensei, that means, you also went to that world, just like we did, right?" asked one of the female students in the classroom of the class, "Which organization did you choose as your affiliate?"
The woman finally arrived in front of the classroom podium under the questions and attention of all the students in the classroom.
"Sensei, if you choose the wrong organization to affiliate with, don't worry. You can join the alliance that I have built, along with our other friends. I can help you learn chakra, and teach you the skills that I will receive in the future from Sungakure Village,"
"Oh?" Ike's proud words immediately caught the woman's interest, "Sunagakure Village, huh? Ike, you chose that village as your affiliation?"
"Of course!" Ike raised his head proudly.
"Sunagakure Village is a great organization. Much better than other organizations especially when compared to big countries, or small shinobi villages in that world. But..."
"But?"
"Oh?"
A small smile appeared on the woman's face. Under the attention and curious gazes of all the students in the classroom of the class, the woman immediately continued what she wanted to say, "My luck seems to be much better than yours, Ike,"
"Huh?"
The words the woman said immediately stunned Ike.
"My luck is much better..." a student muttered.
One of the students who quickly understood the meaning of the woman's words, plus, dared to express what he wanted to say, quickly said, "Sensei, is it possible..."
"Just as you all here think," the woman said with a proud smile, "Just like Ike, I have also chosen one of the five strongest ninja villages as my affiliation. However, unlike Ike who chose Sunagakure Village as my affiliation, I prefer Konohagakure Village as my affiliation,"
"Oh?"
"Huh?"
The words spoken by the woman surprised almost all the students in the classroom.
One of the students in the classroom quickly regained his senses, and muttered softly, "Konohagakure Village..."
"...Konohagakure Village, isn't the organization that was chosen to affiliate with the same organization that was chosen to affiliate with..." One of the students among the other students in the classroom also muttered softly after regaining his senses.
"Oh?" Seeing the reaction, and hearing the soft words spoken by several students in the classroom, the woman learned some information that surprised her quite a bit, "Aside from me, there is also someone who chose Konohagakure Village as their affiliated organization. Who is that? Could it be…"
The woman immediately wanted to look at a student who was in the classroom of the class. However, suddenly, seeing that several students in the class were currently directing their gazes toward a student, who according to her was not a student who had the opportunity to choose Konohagakure Village as an organization where he was affiliated, the woman immediately glanced at the student with a look full of interest.
Before giving the student a chance to say something, the woman had already said something to the student, "I didn't expect that besides me, there would also be someone from this class who would choose Konohagakure Village as their affiliated organization. Rosewood, how did you decide to choose Konohagakure Village as your affiliated organization?"
"I think, without me needing to explain, Sensei already knows the answer that I have. Besides, perhaps, my way of choosing an organization to affiliate with is more or less the same as yours, Sensei,"
"You deliberately hid your abilities, huh?" The woman thought with great interest, and then asked, "Can you show me your information card?"
"Sensei wants to confirm it directly? Isn't it true that just from the words, and the reactions of my classmates, it can be shown that I am the same as Sensei? Choosing Konohagakure Village as my affiliated organization,"
"Indeed. The words and reactions of your classmates can be used as external evidence that shows that you have indeed chosen Konohagakure Village as your affiliated organization. But..."
The gaze of adult woman immediately glanced at all the students in the classroom, "Have any of you ever seen Rosewood's information card? Or, has anyone been allowed to see Rosewood's information card?"
"..."
Silence was the answer the woman received.
The students looked at each other and then shook their heads.
The woman's gaze glanced back at Rosewood, and then asked, "See? No one has ever seen your information card, which suggests that perhaps, the statement you made earlier that you chose Konohagakure Village as your affiliation was an opinion or a lie that you deliberately made up to protect your pride."
The gazes of almost all the students in the classroom immediately changed when they heard the words the woman said to Rosewood.
"Isn't that also true for you, Sensei?" Rosewood asked calmly, "No one in this class has ever seen your information card, which suggests that the statement you made earlier regarding Konohagakure Village as the organization you chose to affiliate with might have been an opinion, or a lie made up by you to protect your pride, fearing that the students in your class would find out that the organization you chose to affiliate with is an unknown organization, known only to a few residents of that world."
"..."
Rosewood's sarcasm and direct taunts towards the woman who was the homeroom teacher of the class he was currently in shocked almost all the students in the classroom.
"This person..."
"Interesting," Compared to being enveloped in anger after hearing the words that Rosewood said to her, at this moment, the woman who was Rosewood's homeroom teacher was enveloped in a feeling of interest, and was full of interest, "Neither of us have ever had our information cards seen by anyone, which shows that currently the statement stated by both of us that Konohagakure Village is our affiliated organization is still just an opinion, not a fact, and the truth. It's like this. To prove that the statement stated by both of us before is the truth, not an opinion, or a lie that was intentionally made by each of us, how about each of us show the information cards that we have to each other? That way, both of us can know, whether the statement stated before that Konohagakure Village is our affiliated organization is a fact, a truth, and not just an opinion that was intentionally spread by us just to maintain our self-esteem. How about it?"
"Of course. That's not a problem for me. I have no problem showing you the information card I have, or, even, showing it to everyone in the classroom of this class. But…" Rosewood paused for a moment, and continued, "Since this idea is yours, which started from you, Sensei, I think you should be the one to do it first, right?"
"..."
