Chapter 360: Hoshinoumi Academy
Uchiha Fugaku pulled open the drawer, took out his previous ID card, and handed it over.
Jōjirō Takajō took it with both hands, placed it on the table, took out his phone, snapped pictures of both sides, and then said, "Alright, thank you for your cooperation."
"Hmm, done?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked.
"Yes, we will contact your current school regarding the transfer.
You won't need to go to school starting tomorrow, just wait for our notification.
We will notify you within three days," Nao Tomori said.
"Okay."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
"Alright, then the matter is settled.
You won't use that ability casually for now, right?"
"No problem."
Nao Tomori nodded, "Takajō, let's go."
"Oh, oh."
Jōjirō Takajō quickly followed Nao Tomori downstairs like a shadow.
They happened to run into Mizuno Haruka, who was coming upstairs with tea and snacks.
"Oh, are you leaving already?"
Mizuno Haruka asked in surprise, "Won't you have some tea before you go?"
Mizuno Haruka tried to persuade them to stay.
"No, Auntie, we suddenly have an urgent matter.
We'll visit again another day," Nao Tomori politely declined with a smile.
"You have an urgent matter, then there's nothing to be done.
I'll see you out."
Mizuno Haruka saw them out the gate, "Be careful on your way."
"Goodbye, Auntie."
Nao Tomori and Jōjirō Takajō both greeted Mizuno Haruka before turning to leave.
Uchiha Fugaku stood by the second-floor window, watching their departing figures.
Nao Tomori seemed to sense something and looked back, seeing Uchiha Fugaku at the second-floor window.
Nao Tomori and Uchiha Fugaku met each other's gaze for a few seconds before Nao Tomori turned her head away.
A hint of confusion arose in her heart, 'What a strange guy.'
She always felt that something was off, but she couldn't quite pinpoint it.
So she asked, "Takajō, don't you think this Mizuno-kun is a bit strange?"
Jōjirō Takajō asked in surprise, "Huh? Is he?"
Nao Tomori rolled her eyes, realizing that asking Takajō was not a good idea.
"Never mind, I was just kidding, don't worry about it."
"Oh."
Jōjirō Takajō nodded, half-understanding.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku, standing by the second-floor window, focused his attention on the system panel that only he could see.
On the mission panel, the task of joining the Hoshinoumi Academy Student Council was not yet complete.
He figured it would only show as completed after he officially received the transfer notification from Hoshinoumi Academy and officially joined the Student Council.
After closing the system panel, Uchiha Fugaku looked out the window again, but the figures of Nao Tomori and Jōjirō Takajō were no longer visible.
Uchiha Fugaku then drew the curtains and returned to his desk to continue playing on the computer.
Not having to go to school was quite nice.
The next morning, Uchiha Fugaku woke up naturally, washed up, and went downstairs to watch TV.
Mizuno Haruka, who was hanging clothes on the balcony, saw Uchiha Fugaku still at home and asked in shock:
"Shinichi, why are you still at home?
Don't you have to go to school today?
Today isn't a holiday, is it?"
Uchiha Fugaku said, "Kaa-san, do you remember those two people who came to our house yesterday?"
Mizuno Haruka's mind flashed back to the two children from last night; the girl was quite cute.
She nodded, "Remember.
What does that have to do with you not going to school?"
"They are from Hoshinoumi Academy and invited me to transfer to their school."
"Transfer?"
Mizuno Haruka said in shock, "Didn't they say they came to thank you?
Why did they invite you to transfer?"
"Thank?"
Uchiha Fugaku was stunned for a moment, quickly realizing that this must have been a lie Nao Tomori told.
He didn't expose her and continued, "They just saw my good grades and wanted me to join their school."
Mizuno Haruka was momentarily dazed.
As his mother, she naturally knew her son's grades very well.
Although his grades were good, they weren't so good that other schools would come to their house to invite him.
She remembered his last exam was tenth in the class.
"So you agreed?"
Mizuno Haruka asked.
"Yes, they told me to wait for their notification at home.
They will handle the transfer matters with the local high school."
Mizuno Haruka felt a bit helpless for a moment.
She hadn't expected her son to not tell her about such a big matter as transferring schools.
"What kind of school is Hoshinoumi Academy?
How come I've never heard of it?"
Mizuno Haruka said worriedly.
She was afraid her son had been tricked by a bad high school.
Although she also had the idea of her son transferring schools, his grades weren't bad, and there were good high schools nearby, so he wouldn't have trouble finding a school.
"Don't worry, it's a very good school.
I'll get my laptop and show you their official website."
Uchiha Fugaku turned and went upstairs, searched for Hoshinoumi Academy's official website, then came back down with his laptop to show Mizuno Haruka the details.
After looking at it, Mizuno Haruka nodded and said, "It truly is a wonderful school."
Although she was satisfied in her heart, she still had some doubts.
How could such a good school suddenly invite her son to transfer?
Was it just because of the wallet incident?
She couldn't quite figure it out.
Moreover, this school also had many benefits, like exemption from tuition fees and transportation fees if not living in the dormitory.
It was simply a pie falling from the sky.
If her son hadn't shown her the official website, she would have truly suspected they were con artists.
"Shinichi, why don't we go to Hoshinoumi Academy today to take a look?"
Mizuno Haruka said with some unease.
She wanted to go personally to confirm everything.
Uchiha Fugaku refused, "I don't want to go.
If you want to go, go by yourself."
"Ah, so cold."
Mizuno Haruka said somewhat sadly.
She hadn't expected her own son not to accompany her.
Mizuno Haruka occasionally showed such a girlish demeanor.
She had grown up in a good family, married a considerate husband, and lived a smooth life.
Even though she was over thirty, she still maintained a natural innocence.
"Shinichi, Mom didn't know you weren't going to school today, so I didn't make your breakfast.
What would you like to eat?"
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the time — almost eleven.
"Never mind, I won't eat.
Let's just wait for lunch."
"Hmm, that works too.
If you're hungry, there are fruits next to the refrigerator."
Uchiha Fugaku noticed she was dressed to go out.
"Are you going to see Hoshinoumi Academy?"
While changing her shoes, Mizuno Haruka replied,
"I'll go in the afternoon.
Mom is going out to buy some groceries now; we're out of vegetables at home."
