Chapter 25: Participating in the Competition and 'Kua Fu Chasing the Sun' is also easy

  Youth is a lie, it's evil.

  People who deceive themselves and those around them in the name of youth.

  Always face your surroundings with a positive attitude.

  Even some fatal failures will be called symbols of youth and become a memorable past.

  For example, they have participated in crimes such as pickpocketing and gang robbery, which they call "blood boiling".

  If you fail an exam, just say one sentence: school is not just a place for learning.

  In the face of their youth, any ordinary understanding or social norms can be distorted for you to see. For them, whether it's lies, secrets, past mistakes, or failures, they are all just seasonings for their youth.

  ………………………

  So this should be considered deception. Lies, deception, secrets, and fraud are all treated so differently.

  They are evil.

  In short, it is those who do not eulogize youth that are truly just.

  That's my conclusion.

  Pay up, explode now!

  Excerpt from, 2nd year F class Hikigaya Hachiman's memories of high school life.

  Youth is not a 'beautiful' existence, in the campus 'class society' life, the word 'youth' is nothing but a fierce poisonous beast, it will devour the lonely human beings and turn to make a mocking sound.

  In simple words, youth is a big and important roadblock in life. With a grin on its face, it always likes to rush out halfway, showing off the majesty of "youth" and despising the tragedy of "not being young".

  In this way, it is clear that college life is actually a microcosm of adult society, with different groups existing in different places.

  If you enter junior high school, senior high school or university, you will find that this situation will not change.

  Those who exist are like the crickets in a cage, from junior high school to university, the change is actually just a change in the size of the cage. The system, rules, and even the number of groups inside have not changed much.

  This is the last silhouette of youth, the only darkness hidden in the sunlight.

  After all, every group has its own system and rules. Outsiders who want to join can only do so by making unrewarded efforts with a thick skin.

  However, sometimes this thing will become useless work, the smiling mask hanging on the face will eventually shatter under the 'torture'.

  So, rather than putting on a forced smile to go along with others, it's better to spend a solitary life creating a rose-colored existence through a dull high school life that belongs only to oneself.

  Don't expect yourself to be a child chosen by fate, an existence favored by the gods, a being who emerged from the cracks under the heavy pressure of the world, a person who pulled out the holy sword from the original tree, the only surviving boy in a world of black downfall, or the only challenger of destiny in infinite time, or a man who rewrites the truth of the world.

  Don't hope to get anything by luck; after all, true success is not determined by external factors.

  But some things can't be changed, just like those who eulogize youth are always looking down on others from the peak of life, even without any background, their mouthful of youth can create miracles for them.

  Do you yearn for a rose-colored life? No, let me put it another way, do you yearn for a life filled with all sorts of interesting things?

  Those who thoroughly enjoy their youth may be living in "stimulation", but most of them have no meaning at all.

  Don't indulge in fantasies, don't think too much. Youth is more decadent and weak than friendship. Now the only thing to do, perhaps, is to shout out loud like just now - [Let's explode with excitement!]

  "I didn't realize it before, but you're really quite twisted."

  After reading the preface of this article, Haicheng and Lin Xuan, as two initial readers, shared their thoughts together.

  It's not really a review, but rather their heartfelt "sentiments". For content like this, apart from generating interest in the work itself, it also sparks great interest in the author.

  So, at present, the two are in the second state, and Sosuke's interest in writing this preface has been greatly piqued.

  In their eyes, Sosuke has probably become a 'delinquent' type of boy, which makes Sosuke somewhat resentful.

  "It's all been said, don't be so tacitly understanding in a specific place, it's just that, because I live here, so I borrowed the background and name of this place. Compared to using a heavenly dynasty name, it is more endearing, isn't there foreign writers in many countries?"

  Foreign writers, from their own country to another country writing, spreading culture writers, most of them are facing a situation of mixed praise and criticism.

  But to be honest, Sosuke is not exactly an author, after all, the opening part of this prologue is actually borrowed from "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU".

  But one thing needs to be emphasized, that the theory about youth in the back is all originally created by teacher Sōsuke.

  If I really had to look back on my high school life, Sosuke thought that his own high school life was pretty interesting.

  In that world at that time, I was disliked by others for not being sociable, but those who did bad things to me were easily fixed by Sosuke. After all, back then I had learned Taekwondo specifically for self-defense, it's just that most of it has been forgotten now.

  Putting aside idle chatter, Sosuke swiftly snatched the manuscript from the hands of the two and stored it in his own desk's special drawer.

  In this 1LDK room, three people sitting around a low table seemed a bit crowded, but these are not important.

  Sō opened the electric fan and turned it down to the lowest speed to save electricity before saying everything he wanted to say.

  "Isn't this what you asked for? Let me write something to participate in the competition, and thus came the beginning of this piece."

  "We certainly know this."

  With a casual tone, Haicheng slapped both hands on the table with a loud "slap".

  "What I want to ask is, why choose this kind of theme, and is youth really such an unbearable thing?! Big Teacher?!"

  "Don't call me Big Master!"

  My life is full of rose-colored things!

  Sōichi pushed away Kaichiro who was approaching him and put his hand to his mouth, clearing his throat softly as if to pretend.

  "But haven't we seen this kind of thing recently? In the Japanese light novel world, the importance of writing style and the importance of innovation are equal, but what's most important is 'light'..."

  "I think it's actually pretty good."

  As the last speaker of the three, Lin Xuan snatched the fan from Sōsuke's hand and grasped it with her right hand. As she fanned herself, adding to the electric fan's **, a head of smooth long hair suddenly flew up.

  Lin Xuan expressed her own views in the simplest words.

  She thinks it's okay.

  "Rather than reading the usual 'praising youth' light novels, why not try reading 'hating youth' light novels instead? So, Great Teacher, have you thought of a name?"

  Everyone says don't call me Da Lao Shi, I'm actually longing for a rose-colored youth, running under the sun towards the distant sunset! When thirsty, take a rest and drink some water, continue to eulogize youth.

  "Isn't that Kuafu chasing the sun? Speaking of which, Kuafu chasing the sun is also easy. Muscle uncle swings sweat, chasing the dream that can never be caught, it's simply 'Attack on Titan' oh."

  "What do you think our country's ancient culture is..."

  But in fact, Japan also likes to make fun of that culture, especially when Mr. Nobunaga is being played badly.

  "Back to the point, what's your name?"

  "If I'm going to participate, then let's tentatively name it 'My Teen Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected' for now."

  This is the beginning of youth, and also the end of youth.
