A winner in life at Tōtsuki academy

The girl felt that she had no strength in her body, her throat was sore and her lips were dry, but she was silent and did not cough, but after leaving the kitchen, the girl still coughed because her throat was very dry.

The more she coughed, the more sore her throat became. Her temples hurt from coughing. The girl felt terrible too. Fortunately, she had a good partner. Otherwise, she would be screwed today.

But when she was about to take a deep breath after coughing, a bottle of water suddenly appeared in front of her, which made the girl stunned for a moment, and when she raised her head, she saw her partner in the last class.

Damian pulled out the suitcase and said warmly, "Sit down for a while and drink some water. See, if you cough a lot and you don't drink some water, it could cause pharyngitis or make your cold worse."

The girl froze for a moment and looked at the suitcase and the water in front of her. She didn't take it, but said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"

"I noticed before that you are a little restless, your hands are very stable, but there will be so many problems with the seasoning, it must be affected by the cold, standing all morning is exhausting, not to mention you haven't drunk any water yet, so your throat should be sore."

The girl's heart warmed and she said softly, "Why are you helping me?"

"Take this as a greeting. After all, you are the first classmate I cooperated with after I came to this country and this school."

"Eh?"

"You can also treat this as a celebratory gift. After all, this is the first assessment of the first year of high school."

The girl was stunned for two seconds, and after a while, she took control and said, "Thank you" softly.

Damian didn't say anything, he pushed the suitcase and said, "Sit on the floor, the suitcases are pressure-proof, let's sit down and rest for a while, and then we will go to the infirmary after you regain your strength. By the way, you know Where is the infirmary?"

"Um...."

"That is good."

Damian put the guitar aside and leaned against the wall. The girl felt a little reluctant after struggling for a while, so she didn't think much and just sat in the suitcase.

After thinking for a while, the girl opened the bottle, lowered her mask and took a sip. Although her throat was sore, it was now much better than before.

The girl turned her head to look at Damian after the headache had subsided so much.

The girl sat on the suitcase and raised her head to see Damian's face.

At this moment, he was holding mineral water in one hand while holding the phone in the other, you couldn't tell what he was looking at, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

What is he laughing at? There was just this thought in the girl's head, oh no, there was another thought, this guy looks handsome when he smiles...

"Huh? It looks like your throat feels better. How did you catch a cold?"

"I was so tired after taking a shower that I fell asleep without closing the window..."

[A/N: Honestly, does this happen in real life? Like this is why characters catch colds in most animes. Do Japanese people have such a weak immune system?]

"Be careful next time. Why didn't you excuse yourself today?"

"As today is the first day of school, I had to come, I wasn't feeling much of anything, I just sneezed a few times and my head was hurting a little, but after the opening ceremony, the situation got worse..."

Damian nodded and said, "Are you cold or shaky?"

"No... Just a sore throat, lack of energy and dry eyes..."

After thinking about it for a long time, he said, "In this case, it seems that the afternoon will not have any exams. You can take some time off. If this continues, I feel like you will have a fever tonight, so it's better to rest early."

"Fever? I see... cough, cough..."

The girl rested for a while, and after drinking half a bottle of mineral water, she stood up, bent down a little, and said softly, "Thank you, I feel much better now."

Damian nodded and said, "Well, okay, let's go to the infirmary."

"Eh? You want to follow me?"

"It turns out that there is a free guide, I can't let you run away like this."

The girl was stunned for a moment, she knew very well that Damian was worried that something would go wrong with her, and her heart warmed at that moment, she just thanked him softly.

If Damian hadn't been wearing a sweater, he would have lent her his coat to block the wind.

The girl went to the infirmary with that thought in mind. Damian smiled and said, "Looks like we've arrived at the place. Thanks for pointing the way. So have a good treat. See you next time."

Damian said, carrying the suitcase and started to walk, but after walking for a while, he was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head, he saw the girl approaching.

"Huh? What happened? Didn't the door open?"

"That's not it… My name is Kinokuni Nene… Thank you…"

After talking about the girl... oh no, Kinokuni Nene turned and walked away, Damian was stunned for two seconds before raising his eyebrows.

If he heard correctly, her name seemed to be Kinokuni Nene. If he remembered correctly, she seemed to be from the Elite Ten from the original work, who were good at Soba?

But if he was studying in the first year, in the same class as her, that means...

Damian finally realized why he didn't see Erina during the transfer student assessment. He also knew why he didn't see Tadokoro Megumi and Hayama Ryo earlier when he was talking to the transfer students. He thought it was simply because of the time he took the exam. Now it seems...

They are still in their third year of elementary school! Damian thought he was a 92nd-generation student, but he was actually a 91st-generation student.

Now Damian is more certain, even though he knows about many plots, this will only happen next year, and he is in the 91st generation, the events of the anime and manga are not like that. When he reaches his second year, there will be no telling what kind of changes will have happened.

The plot would have already changed discreetly, but knowing some information is always good.

Suddenly, Damian thought of something very interesting. If he became an Elite Ten, how could that impact the future?

Thinking about this, Damian's mouth twitched and a smile appeared on his lips. People who are familiar with Damian know well that when this guy shows a smile like that, either you will be blackmailed, or he will make you feel uncomfortable while thinking about how to blackmail you.

"Ah... As I'm in the 91st generation, I think it would be cool to leave some interesting things for the 92nd generation..."
