IDENTITY- Assasination Classroom Fanfic (Ft. OC x Asano Gakushuu - slowburn)

29: The Delight of Anticipation for a Trip to Bali

Arina Avenira's closest buddy in the Big Five -- if you stop and think for a moment, perhaps it would be either Seo or Asano you may come up with, but no. Surprisingly, it was actually Sakakibara Ren.

She may not like Ren at first, but through time, she learned that they shared a lot in common. They were both imaginative and can jump from idea to idea, were both into literature, aesthetics, fashion, self-care, were both hopeless romantics, and were both easy to get bored of everything.

Ren -- being a philanderer as he was -- casually hunts girls he found attractive and dumps them later after getting bored of his prey. Hence why he would find Arina pretty attractive for failing to hunt her down. However, Arina was smart enough to spit and pick her nose in front of him to make him get over and began to call her one of his 'guy friends'.

Consequently, Arina was out in the game of hunting attractive girls. While he had hunted most girls down, there was the only one left that made him obsessed over for so many years.

Nagasawa Juria, again the school queen bee this time. For years she had been crushing over the one and only prestigious Asano Gakushuu, making Ren a background character in her eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he still got rejected by this girl. And seizing the opportunity this summer vacation with his class, he had plotted every move to win her over.

And knowing Ren, he overlooked every aesthetically unpleasing-looking girl or unfit girl (though still played with their feelings) which led him to overlook many hidden gems.

Shirayuki Sae -- a quiet kid in class 2-A, always fading into the background. At first, one may think she was a guy judging from her looks, which were hideous. She wore a big pair of glasses, and her uniform looked as though she had never ironed them before. Grey, uncombed pixie-cut hair, her bangs completely concealed her bushy eyebrows, and underneath them were her mesmerizing light grey eyes; unfortunately, no one barely noticed them in the presence of the thick glasses.

Most of the time, being ugly was no problem if you have a fun personality, though Sae had none.

Nagasawa Juria was enjoying herself strolling in the hallway upon countless male gazes along with her sidekicks when Sae boldly marched forward and plunged straight into them causing the popular girls to stumbled.

"Excuse you, Shirayuki!" complained Juria, wincing in despise.

"Fuck you, Juria," Sae casually said whilst walking away carrying her usual expressionless face.

On her way to the overall scoreboard after the exam, as though fate had set them up, she accidentally bumped into the reputable philanderer -- Sakakibara Ren, as he stopped to toy with her feelings.

"Well, hello there baby girl," chirped Ren, winking at her. He especially emphasized the word 'girl' to make it as that he was the only male in this world who recognize her as a girl.

"Need my help escorting you into this crowd~?"

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders but she swiftly removed his arm.

"Here's something I don't understand," Sae's eyebrows narrowed, giving away her daily piercing stare. "By what factor determines a human's natural cognitive tendency? Like -- straight out from birth? Yours is sickening though, I feel bad for you," she lifted her glasses.

After receiving that cold response, Ren couldn't care but shrug and walked away, mumbling how Sae might be aromantic.

See -- that was Sae's problem, now that she continued to question do other species share human cognitive functions. Whether it's natural or not. And whether it's due to the revolution. She resembled Asano in one thing -- they both take one idea and delve deep into it, though, Sae used it as her dominant function.
