In the following days, everything seemed to be on track.
Moreover, due to the influence of the previous incident involving Parasyte A, during this period, Xia Shang was successfully elected as the vice president of the Kendo Club with an 80% voting rate.
Since then, there has always been a group of younger brothers following him.
It was not until a transfer student named Shimada Hideo appeared that Xia Shang's peaceful life was disrupted.
"Xia Shang, you are a high school student known as the Sword Saint. Tamiya Yoshiko once mentioned you. I am very interested in you. Let's be friends." Shimada Hideo stood in front of Xia Shang and raised his right hand towards him, as if to shake hands.
However, Xia Shang just glanced at him and ignored him.
Just as the two were about to pass by each other, Shimada Hideo continued, "Before this, I had a few words with Izumi Shinichi. In fact, my philosophy is the same as Tamiya Yoshiko's. I will not attack anyone in this school. In other words, I have never attacked humans recently. We are trying to coexist with humans in this human society."
"This is the only way out for all parasites, even you."
His words made Xia Shang stop.
"Tamiya Yoshiko must have been surprised to learn that I was not dead. She must have thought that I would die at the hands of the parasitic beasts in the foothold area. Unfortunately, her plan did not succeed." Xia Shang turned around and looked at Shimada Hideo with a calm gaze.
"Also, those words of yours may work to deceive Izumi Shinichi, but they are all nonsense to me. As for whether you have done anything to anyone in this school, I just want to say that it is none of my business...
Shimada Hideo didn't expect that the other party was not threatened by him at all. Was he just being tough? Or did he really not care?
Just as Tamiya Yoshiko said, this guy is quite difficult to get along with.
But, that's what makes it more interesting, isn't it?
"I think our companions in the foothold area are also interested in killing Tanaka."
Shimada Hideo suddenly spoke.
"Excuse me, are you threatening me?" Xia Shang walked up to him and put his hand on his shoulder. "Do you think I will attack you in front of everyone? You know, at such a close distance, even Tamiya Yoshiko can't avoid my attack."
Hideo Shimada did not answer, but just took a step back and turned away.
"A fool pretending to be smart." Xia Shang murmured softly as he watched his departing back.
"Where did that guy come from? It seems like he doesn't get along with the president." Kumagai Hiroshi, a student from the Kendo Club, was very upset when he saw Shimada Hideo. "He has such a condescending expression in front of the president. I don't know what he is so arrogant about."
"He seems to be Shimada Hideo who just transferred to Class 3 of Grade 2. He ran a time of 10.08 seconds in the 100-meter race in physical education class." Imura, who was standing next to him, said solemnly.
Xiong Gu had a look of disbelief on his face. "What? Ten seconds and eight? No way, this result is enough to participate in national level competitions."
Then, he glanced at Xia Shang secretly and complained in a low voice: "These days, transfer students are all such monsters. The president is already so strong, but there are even more terrifying ones."
...
The school bell rang.
Quan Xinyi stopped Xia Shang and said, "Let's go together later. I want to talk to you about something."
"About Shimada Hideo?" Xia Shang didn't even take his schoolbag, but just casually arranged the textbooks on the table.
"That's right. Did he also talk to you?" Izumi Shinichi and Xia Shang were walking side by side in the corridor when they met Murano Satomi, Tachikawa Yuko and Miho. These three people had a very good relationship and were inseparable all day long.
"Are you talking about Xiu?" Miho asked curiously.
"A Xiu?"
Xia Shang frowned. What kind of weird nicknames are these? I wonder if these three people are secretly giving him nicknames behind his back.
"Shimada Hideo, so I'll call you Xiu."
When Quan Xinyi heard this name, his face turned ugly, because such a name is usually only used for people who are close to him.
It seems that Miho has a good impression of Shimada Hideo.
But the other party is a parasite after all, and it is too dangerous for humans to come into contact with it.
However, he couldn't warn Miho directly, otherwise it would easily cause misunderstanding from Murano Satomi.
"Yes, I knew him before I transferred to another school. He seemed to have been expelled from school because of fighting and causing an unwanted pregnancy among minors. However, it was said that he had a good family background, and he finally spent a lot of money to transfer to our school." Quan Xinyi had some doubts, but Xia Shang did not. He just talked nonsense seriously.
Anyway, the more stimulating the public opinion is, the better. You have to know that not many people care about the authenticity of public opinion. They only care whether the topic is explosive enough.
Sure enough, Xia Shang's words had just fallen.
The three covered their mouths in surprise.
Yuko Tachikawa said subconsciously: "No way, he doesn't look like that kind of person."
"I only heard about it. Please don't spread it casually, otherwise people will misunderstand that I am spreading rumors." Xia Shang said with a sunny and cheerful smile.
Miho was lost in thought. She said seriously, "What Xia-kun said might be true. Think about it, after all, the semester is almost over, and it's a bit strange that he just transferred in."
"Okay, okay, these are just speculations. Shinichi and I have something to discuss, so I'll be leaving now."
Walking outside the school, Quan Xinyi curiously asked Xia Shang whether what he had just said was true.
"It's fake, I just made it up." Xia Shang didn't expect that Quan Xinyi would be skeptical about his words.
Is it because he wrote it so well?
"Damn it, I should have known it earlier." Izumi Shinichi held his forehead.
"However, isn't it a bad idea to make up such a story? If someone takes it seriously, Shimada Hideo will be very troubled."
Izumi Shinichi was a little worried.
Xia Shang was really defeated by Izumi Shinichi's naivety. He said to Shinichi helplessly: "You don't really believe what he said to you, do you? If you use your brain a little, you will know that he was sent by Tamiya Yoshiko to monitor us and is on the opposite side of us."
"I agree with Xia Jun."
At this time, Mickey crawled out of Shinichi's hand, staring with big eyes, "His words are not credible. He said that he is currently living on human food. However, there is no evidence to prove that parasites that parasitize the human brain can rely on human food to obtain nutrients. After all, their entire heads have changed."
"But now there is no evidence to prove that parasites cannot survive by eating human food." After all, Izumi Shinichi still retains a glimmer of hope that parasites can coexist with humans.
