"So, can you please let go of Karuizawa-san first?" Ayanokōji was expressionless, but his grip unconsciously tightened.
Physical persuasion was his usual method and you can't deny, his strength was quite considerable. If an ordinary person's strength was 1, then his strength could reach 10.
As for Tenya, a conservative estimate would be 10 billion.
Crack!
Tenya simply twisted his hand gently, and Ayanokōji's muscular arm fractured.
"...."
Ayanokōji's pupils constricted, but he didn't let out a single cry of pain.
He rapidly thought, 'This guy's strength, could he be from the White Room? No! This already exceeds human common sense, it's probably related to the supernatural.'
"I'm really sorry. My arm strength is just a little bit stronger than an ordinary person's. I didn't expect you to be so weak, student?" Tenya had a kind expression.
"Ayanokoji-san?!" Kei exclaimed.
But in the next second, a shocking scene occurred.
Ayanokōji knelt down without warning, his voice remaining calm, "I am extremely sorry, I overestimated myself. As compensation for my offense, I can hand over all my points."
"Ayanokōji, you...?!"
Kei's eyes widened, her expression complex. Previously, when she was being bullied by Ryuen and his group, Ayanokōji had fought four people, successfully rescuing her, planting a magnificent and radiant image in her heart. Now, with him kneeling in public, Kei's heart felt somewhat disillusioned!
"Hey!"
"Look over there."
"It seems to be Ayanokoji from D Class."
"Why is he kneeling to someone from another school?"
"Tch. Who knows?"
"He usually has a poker face, but he's actually a secretly perverted guy."
"Maybe he was secretly tracking someone else's girlfriend and got caught?"
The onlookers' gossip and malicious speculation failed to sway Ayanokōji in the slightest. Adhering to his isolationist philosophy, he now only wanted to stay far away from Tenya, no matter what means he had to employ.
"Tenya, forget it. Before things escalate, let's stop here." Yuki advised.
"Alright. Then I'll listen to Yuki."
Tenya released the other party, and casually pulled up the stunned Kei. "Then, I'm taking you."
"Wait a minute!"
"Ayanokoji, save me!"
Kei immediately panicked, instinctively calling for help. But Ayanokōji judged that he could not be an enemy of Tenya and chose to bow his head in silence.
This greatly disappointed Kei, who thought she had acted on his instructions, but when trouble arose, he chickened out?
"Wow! Is this a love triangle?"
"That outside student is too handsome, I want to be taken away too."
"Speaking of which, Ayanokoji is too weak, having a female classmate taken away right in front of him."
The onlookers cast scornful glances at Ayanokōji.
Supermarket.
"Karuizawa-san, this is for you." Tenya casually bought a high-end skincare product and handed it to Kei.
"Huh?" Kei looked bewildered.
What was going on?
"Why that stunned expression? Could it be that you were scared? I was just joking with you." Tenya smiled indifferently.
[Ding!]
[Discovered Treasure Chest Holder: Karuizawa Kei]
[Extract?]
'Extract.'
[S-rank Treasure Chest: Energy Storage]
[During non-combat periods, store excess energy, maximum storage of 200%.]
Another treasure chest in hand!
Tenya released Kei without any hesitation.
"Thank you."
The meticulous Kei suddenly felt a sense of being "used and discarded without mercy." The other party didn't seem as terrifying as she imagined, just a bit strange.
"Karuizawa-san, if possible, can we exchange contact information?" Tenya said casually.
"Alright."
Kei had just accepted a gift, so naturally, she had no reason to refuse him. Besides, Tenya was handsome and strong, so perhaps he could be someone who could protect her.
"Congratulations, Tenya. You've tricked another ignorant girl." Yuki said.
"Yuki, just get used to it." Tenya patted her shoulder.
"This time, he's even too lazy to argue." Yuki couldn't help but rub her forehead.
After buying daily necessities, the two headed to the students' dormitory building.
Student Dormitory Building.
Along the way, they encountered many boys and girls. Tenya greeted each of them warmly.
"It's actually a single room, the accommodation conditions are excessively good." Yuki found her room according to the number on the key.
"I think so too. Yuki, why don't we save a room and live together?" Tenya sincerely suggested.
After all, at home, he was already used to living with multiple women. Suddenly living alone, he felt a bit unaccustomed.
"Absolutely not. Don't disgrace Sobu High School." Yuki made a crossed-arms gesture, and then closed her door.
Tenya didn't pay much attention to this.
After tidying up his room, he went out again in search of fun.
He had to admire once more that the female students at Advanced Nurturing High School were of very high quality. Just by casually walking around, he could encounter cute girls.
At the cafe.
A girl with long pink hair exuded a sunny and approachable aura, surrounded by many friends. The pink-haired girl seemed to notice him and waved at him with a smile.
"Hello, classmate. If you don't mind, you can come and sit with us." Ichinose proactively extended the invitation.
"Gladly." Tenya did not decline and walked over.
After brief introductions, he learned that the others were from the second-year B Class.
According to the merit-based ranking of Advanced Nurturing High School, B Class could be considered excellent students, and their words and actions were very friendly.
"Tenya-kun, may I ask what you are doing at this school? Sorry, if it's confidential, you can refuse to answer."
Ichinose did not use verbal probing or trick questions, she openly inquired about the information.
"No worries. This is not something that needs to be hidden." Tenya briefly explained the Christmas event.
"So it's a Christmas event. Tenya-kun, you must have worked hard, it's troublesome for you to come all this way."
Ichinose was very good at handling people and proactively ordered him a cup of coffee and some snacks.
"It is indeed troublesome. Originally, I didn't want to come, but after coming, I changed my mind." Tenya deliberately left them in suspense.
"Why?" Ichinose asked curiously.
"Because being able to make friends with Ichinose and the friends from B Class, this trip was not in vain." Tenya said with a smile.
"Haha. Tenya-kun is right. We are also very happy to make a friend like Tenya-kun."
Ichinose and the people from B Class were all very happy.
Only a petite, short-haired girl named Chihiro, who was with Ichinose, cast a wary glance at Tenya.
Tenya heard the girl's inner thoughts, and his expression became strange.
Chihiro was secretly in love with Ichinose, who was also a girl, was she treating him as an imaginary love rival?
Just then, a group of uninvited guests walked over.
"Yo, isn't this everyone from B Class? Ichinose, you're quite capable. Late at night, you're staking out people from other schools to gather information."
The newcomers were from Class C, led by Ryuen, who spoke disrespectfully.
"Ryuen-kun, aren't you also here to gather information?" Ichinose did not deny it.
"Tenya-kun, you need to be careful. That guy is the tyrant of Class C, he habitually uses violence to threaten others."
"Is that so? That's truly terrifying." Tenya held back his laughter.
"Hey! Student from another school, tell us your purpose for coming to this school too." Ryuen demanded.
"To pick up girls." Tenya told the truth.
"Are you messing with me?" Ryuen's face darkened.
"Oh. What book are you reading, lovely literary girl? I also like reading, can we be friends?"
Tenya completely ignored Ryuen's icy gaze and, as if no one else was there, walked towards the silver-haired girl holding a book in Class C.
"Uh..."
"I'm reading 'Fortress Besieged'." Hiyori blinked, looking at Tenya with anticipation.
As someone who loved reading, she deeply longed to find friends with similar interests. Understanding her inner thoughts, Tenya naturally played to her preferences.
