Classroom of the Elite: Prepared

Chapter 26 - Love

Love; such a simple yet complex word.

According to the definition of the encyclopedia, love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

If you asked any person what they desire the most, then the majority of people will answer with either money or love.

Love can take all kind of shapes, it doesn't always have to be romantic, you can also love someone as a friend.

For a human being, loving or being loved is something inevitable in life.

As for me, I've never experienced the phenomenon named "love" in any kind.

Lately I've been thinking more and more about that special feeling.

Am I capable of feeling love? Can I truly love something or someone?

Somehow I feel sad about not feeling love, but somehow I feel happy about it due to love apparently being a double edged knife.

While love can cure the deepest wounds, it can also cause the biggest wounds.

Unrequited love, the type of love where the love is one-sided and can't be returned from the other party, is the best example for this.

Love is something that involves many factors and is something that can't be controlled.

Or so I've heard.

If you ask me personally then I can tell you one criteria for a successful love: When two people really do love each other, they have to be the same but also differ from one another.

For many this doesn't make any sense but let me elaborate.

There are two myths spreading around with the first one being: "When two people truly love each other they must be the exact same."

While I agree that they have to be the same in some aspects, they must also differ since otherwise they can't complement each other and that can lead to vital mistakes and problems in the relationship. They can't help each other out since they are the exact same.

And the second myth being: "When two people truly love each other, they must be the exact opposite."

It's true that they say opposites attract, be it in magnetism or somewhere else, but when ice meets fire neither survives.

If the two people can't agree on anything or are anything alike, then this can also lead to vital mistakes and problems in the relationship.

But then again it's my personal opinion and it's not like I am an expert in this department, in fact it's the complete opposite.

Anyway, tomorrow arose and as these thoughts slowly faded, I came back to reality.

It was yesterday when I was informed about the situation with 'that man' and the challenge from Nagumo. Nonetheless, my focus today lied elsewhere.

After standing up, brushing my teeth and readying myself for school, I slowly headed towards school. On my way there, I messaged a certain person.

That person was Nanase, she was the person with whom I was supposedly in a relationship with.

Today I intend to clear all the rumors that have been lingering around.

Arrived at the desired destination, I entered the classroom and when I did, Shibata and the rest wholeheartedly greeted me.

Sitting down on my seat, I quickly noticed that Ichinose wasn't present even though class was about to start any minute now.

Right when I was thinking about that, Hoshinomiya walked into the classroom and with no hesitation started class.
