"Coincidentally, I've also read 'Fortress Besieged'. The satirical art and the description of the clash between different cultures are impressive." Tenya spoke earnestly, though in reality, he only had a superficial understanding of the book.
Hiyori, however, believed him implicitly and nodded in agreement.
The two conversed happily and quickly exchanged contact information.
"This guy..."
"Is he really here to pick up girls?"
This scene made the boys in Class C feel very uncomfortable. The reason was that there weren't many pretty girls in their Class C to begin with. Hiyori was one of the very few class beauties, and if she is taken away by an outsider, that will be unbearable.
"Hey!"
"You philanderer, don't even think about tricking our Shiina!"
Mio, a blue-haired, short-haired girl with an athletic build, accused him.
"Philanderer?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
"This afternoon, I saw it with my own eyes. He was leading a beautiful girl, then went to hit on Karuizawa from D Class, and even fought with Ayanokoji."
Mio was one of the onlookers at the time, and what she saw shocked her.
"Oh?"
"You also fought with Ayanokōji?"
Ryuen raised an eyebrow.
"Fighting, that's a bit of an exaggeration. I merely taught him a lesson unilaterally." Tenya said lightly.
"Boasting!"
"You're just bragging!"
"That scoundrel Ayanokoji, he took on four of us and..."
"Shut up!"
Ryuen stopped his troll teammate from exposing himself.
He looked at Tenya with deep apprehension. If it was true, then he couldn't use force to threaten the latter.
"Hey!"
"Student from another school, it seems you really like women, don't you? How about we make a deal?"
"Give me the information you know, and I can let you choose any girl from Class C."
Ryuen knew that he probably couldn't use force against Tenya, so he adopted a softer strategy.
Ryuen's statement was very domineering, completely treating the girls of Class C as bargaining chips. But the girls of Class C, looking at Tenya's good looks, immediately fell silent, and some even showed a hint of anticipation.
"What was this one called again? The Dragon Boy from Class C, right? I think you seem to misunderstand me. I am not that kind of lustful glutton who accepts anyone." Tenya righteously denied it.
His basis for choosing girls was only one, to see if they had treasure chests on them. Based on his current observation, among the girls in Class C, only Hiyori and the one named Mio had treasure chests.
"Dragon Boy?!" Ryuen raised an eyebrow, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
"Pfft..."
"The name 'Dragon Boy' sounds a bit cute."
Ichinose and the others couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
"Hey!"
"Don't you dare be too arrogant, kid!"
Ishizaki and Albert, receiving a hint from Ryuen, used it as an excuse to make a move on Tenya. The result was as expected, they didn't even clearly see what happened.
The two provocateurs were both knocked to the ground.
"Yoshida-san is so amazing!"
Everyone looked on with admiration, including some girls from Class C.
"So that's how it is. I can confirm that your combat power is indeed above Ayanokoji's. As a price for my provocation, I will offer all my personal points." Ryuen spoke casually as he raised his hands and knelt.
"Don't be so scared, after all, I'm not some devil." Tenya smiled and accepted the transfer of personal points from the other party.
Yo!
500,000!
Quite a lot.
Ryuen had violently ruled Class C, collecting most of the personal points from the entire class.
"With just a flick of your fingers, you've taken all our points. Shouldn't you give something valuable in return?" Mio began to bargain.
"Ibuki-san, let's exchange contact information. I'll send you the information later." Tenya casually agreed.
"Really?" Mio's expression brightened, seemingly not expecting to get the information so easily.
"Ibuki-san, as partners in cooperation, let's shake hands." Tenya's goal was clear.
"Okay!" Mio was a straightforward girl.
[Ding!]

Nothing much to say. It's just icing on the cake.
This guy...
Is he really here to pick up girls?
Ryuen's cheek twitched, and he felt a sudden pang of regret. If he had known it was that simple, he would have just sent a girl from his class to seduce Tenya. Why all the probing, causing a waste of 500,000 personal points for nothing.
Having achieved his goal, Ryuen led the people from Class C away.
"Tenya-kun, it's impressive that you were able to extort points from Ryuen-san." Ichinose expressed her admiration.
You know, in the past school year, Ryuen had led Class C, launching attacks everywhere and causing no small amount of trouble for Classes A, B, and D.
"It's nothing, dragok boy is a good boy." Tenya smiled indifferently.
"Dragon boy, are you referring to Ryuen from Class C? What an interesting nickname."
Just then, another group of people arrived.
Leading them was a silver-haired girl leaning on a cane, her bright eyes filled with cunning, her skin glowing white, her natural frailty making people instinctively want to protect her.
"Sakayanagi-san? You've come too." Ichinose smiled and greeted her.
"Good evening, Ichinose-san and Tenya-kun." Arisu looked up and observed Tenya with interest.
"Sakayanagi-san, let me guess. One look and I know you're an honor student from A." Tenya said knowingly.
"Hmph. At least you have some discernment." Masumi coldly said.
With purple hair and a cold face, her eyes held a naturally disdainful expression, which for people with certain preferences, was a bonus.
"As expected of Tenya-kun, who defeated Ayanokoji. Since you're so smart, you must also know why we're here." Arisu smiled slightly, dealing with smart people was easier.
"Of course I know. As the saying goes, a gentleman is sought after by a virtuous lady. Hmm, I accept your request." Tenya solemnly took her delicate little hand.
[Ding!]

'Extract.'
[SSS-rank Treasure Chest: Soul Apportion]
[The ability of the Quincy progenitor, Yhwach, which allows him to share a portion of his soul fragments with others, thereby completing the deficiencies in the latter.]
A long-awaited SSS-rank treasure chest!
This is one of the top-tier skills. With Soul Apportion, he can freely bestow abilities upon others. In a sense, it can be called a god-like power.
"Eh?"
Arisu seemed not to have expected that the other party would take the opportunity to hold her hand, and her clever mind instantly crashed.
Out of skill testing, Tenya injected a portion of his soul fragments into Arisu's body.
"Mmm." Arisu's fair cheeks suddenly flushed crimson.
It was a feeling that could not be described in words, as if her soul had been sublimated.
"Sakayanagi-san's expression is so strange."
"Could it be love?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
The girl in front of them was not as frail as she appeared, she was the ruler of A class, a strategist with a super powerful brain.
"Hey! You, what kind of gentleman are you?!" Masumi quickly pulled Tenya's hand away from Arisu's.
"....."
Arisu lowered her eyes, seemingly savoring the incredible sensation of her soul trembling just now.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she suddenly felt that her frail body seemed to have recovered some unprecedented vitality, causing her normally pale skin to show a hint of rosy complexion. Her entire body looked radiant and alluring.
"My apologies. I was rude for a moment. But I see Sakayanagi-san is quite happy too." Tenya teased.
"Hmph! Casually touching a girl's hand, you really are..."
"Again."
"???"
Masumi's scolding words were not finished when she heard Arisu's response, and her expression instantly became incredibly fascinating.
"Wait, Sakayanagi? Did I hear that right just now? What are you saying?"
