Chapter 67. [4 Heavenly Kings]
Let’s talk about the Four Heavenly Kings of our school -.
***
The first one.
The royal road.
He’s a super literary and martial genius.
First, they’re the only one who takes their classes seriously.
Strangely enough, in this school, the ones who get good grades are the ones who don’t study or are weirdos.
They do everything with aloofness and spend most of their time after class in sports club activities. They’re also extremely rich, tall, good-looking, and even like models.
I have heard that they even have fan clubs at other schools.
Are you looking at the world the right way ……? Did you jump out of a girl’s Manga world?
***
The second one.
They’re genius who spend all their class time sleeping and getting perfect scores on their tests.
They don’t even go to cram school.
No one has ever seen them open a textbook.
When I asked them about it, they said, “I remember everything, so it’s a hassle, and I don’t bring it with me.”.
They never forget what they have seen once, and they remember the time, place, and minutes of what we have talked about.
That’s instant memory!
Aren’t they much better than me?
I was more than surprised. I was even impressed that such a person exists.
***.
The third one.
The future mad scientist.
They’re always doing weird things in front of the class.
They’re always doing weird things away from the classroom.
Breaking the lock of the staff room, selling fake test answers, blabbing in the science lab, stealing from the money changer, painting boobs in the schoolyard, etc.
All this in just one month.
When they get an idea, they can’t help but try it out.
Where are their ethics?
***
And the fourth one.
A real language genius.
Their mother is Chinese, their father is Italian, they took English classes up to elementary school, and they live in Japan.
They were born quadrilingual.
They’re semi-lingual and speak all languages daily.
They’re semi-lingual, but he is not halfway through any of the languages and could use all of them at a native level.
Perhaps that is why they’re so proficient in languages.
In the first year of junior high school, they have already mastered more than 10 languages, making them super prodigies.
-They’re a monster of languages, and even their teacher, Kurokawa-san, called them “incomprehensible”!
Iroha!!!!
I mean, it was me.
* * *
I can’t believe there are people in the world who have this ability, not as a cheat, but as a talent.
Fact is stranger than fiction…
I was about to take a distant look at it when I realized I had become a member of the “Four Heavenly Kings” before I knew it!
Oh my! The fourth one was that quadrilingual.
When did they replace them?
I had no idea how this happened.
It’s obvious being fluent in English alone was not enough to compete with the other four.
The school is full of returnees.
But I don’t remember using any foreign language other than English in school.
In other words, I don’t know why.
But rumors are flying around that “Ask God Iroha about English.” “Ask God Iroha about ancient Japanese literature.”, “Ask God Iroha about Chinese literature.”, and “Ask God Iroha about French, Italian, German, Chinese, and (abbreviated below).”.
Seriously, don’t use that terminology.
If the school is not cheating, there is only one possibility.
They found out from other places.
That is.
“Could it be that they know about my VTuber activity?”
So I had to do some research to find out the truth of the rumors and where they came from.
If I had time for this, I would have been watching the streaming!
Fortunately, I could easily identify the source of the rumors.
It was a statement made by the previous Four Heavenly Kings, or more precisely, by them.
If I reproduce their statement, it sounds something like this.
“I’m screwed!”
“Oh, hey! Why on earth are you crying? You’re the Fourth Heavenly King, aren’t you? Why is a guy with crazy language skills like you losing confidence!”
“Hmph, hmph. …… No, I didn’t know how big the world was.”
“What’s the matter with you? You’re so pessimistic?”
“Oh, my God, that woman Iroha, she’s really bad!”
“Iroha? Yeah, she is good at English, but that’s all. She doesn’t have four mother tongues or speak 10 or 20 languages like you do, right?
“That’s what I thought at first, too. I thought so, too, at first, and I wanted to pick a fight with her to see if I could get her to break her nose a little bit. I told him not to get carried away because she spoke good American English. So I took a jab at him in British English.
“How did she react?”
“She gave me no reaction, and used British English for everything from word choice to pronunciation.”
“What? No, no. No, no, no, she can do that.”
“Oh, she’s pretty good with languages, too? So I went on to speak to her in German, then Chinese, then Italian, and she kept speaking back in the same language as me!”
“What?”
“Not just two or three! I got mad and tried all the languages I knew. And then I was wiped out.”
He tells.
“She’s a real monster.”
