Yuki Suou was, by nature, a beautiful girl of the pure and cute type.
She never wore makeup, nor did she have any special outfits or styles.
Relying purely on her natural beauty, she was already bubbling with loveliness, enough to captivate countless young men.
And now, her sweet smile revealed a lily-like purity and cherry-like sweetness.
In an instant, the countless boys in class who were secretly peeking in this direction couldn't help but stare, their hearts fluttering as they secretly thought—wouldn't it be amazing if that smile was really for me?
However...
Fumiya Jin wasn't buying it.
Yuki Suou was cute, of course.
But in essence, she was still a bratty imp, a little pixie.
For a little pixie like her to suddenly swagger into his classroom, it seemed, no matter how you looked at it, that she had some ulterior motives.
"If you needed something, you could have just sent me a text. Why did you have to make a special trip over here,"
Fumiya Jin said, looking at her calmly.
As soon as he said this, the few people around them were stunned.
Wait...
You're talking to the Miss Suou!!!
She made a special trip just to see you! Do you have any idea how lucky you are?
And you actually have the nerve to seem displeased???
"Well..." Yuki Suou stuck out her tongue playfully and raised a hand to brush a strand of hair from her temple. "I... just suddenly wanted to see you..."
"Whoa!!!"
The classroom instantly erupted in an uproar.
Countless boys were completely slain by the coy, girlish demeanor Yuki Suou was displaying.
Even though they knew perfectly well she wasn't talking to them...
...just seeing how adorable she was at this moment made their treacherous hearts pound. Their blood even began to boil, and they felt like they were about to get a nosebleed.
This...
Is this something we can really see and hear for free?
Isn't Miss Suou just a little too cute!!!
"Emmm..."
Fumiya Jin, seeing the reactions around him, gave Yuki Suou a somewhat helpless look.
This girl just loved to stir up trouble.
Especially now, when the "engagement" rumors were running rampant.
With her making a scene like this, the rumors were probably going to be cemented as fact.
However, she was his teammate, after all. Fumiya Jin couldn't just publicly embarrass her.
Besides, in this situation, if he dared to refuse her again, those useless boys would probably fly into a collective rage and rush over to attack him en masse.
"Alright, let's talk outside," Fumiya Jin said, standing up.
Just then, Shouta Tanaka and the others in front of him to the side seemed to snap out of it, the flames of gossip burning fiercely in their eyes.
"Hey, um... wait a minute!" Shouta Tanaka quickly waved his hand. "Miss Suou, sorry to be so blunt, but... the rumors outside say that you and Fumiya are engaged. Is that true?"
The moment he asked, the entire classroom fell silent.
Everyone turned in unison to look at Yuki Suou.
They all wanted to know what her answer would be.
"Engaged?" Yuki Suou paused, seeming a bit taken aback.
"Yeah, the rumors say you and Fumiya have been dating for a long time, but you kept it secret because your families were against it. They say you two got engaged recently, which is why you can interact so openly now. Is that right?" Shouta Tanaka asked, his speech rapid, like a professional gossip columnist.
"Well..."
Yuki Suou bit her lip and shook her head.
Shouta Tanaka and the other gossip-mongers paused, their hearts sinking.
While for many of the boys and girls, a flicker of hope was rekindled—could it be?
"You mean... it's fake?" Shouta Tanaka quickly asked.
Many people were petrified.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Four seconds...
By the time Fumiya Jin and she had both walked out the classroom door...
...the entire classroom exploded!
"Oh my god, so it was actually true?"
"They're really engaged? That bastard Fumiya!!! He deserves to die!!!"
"Fumiya-kun is actually... sob sob sob..."
...

As Fumiya Jin walked out of the classroom, hearing the notification sounds in his head, he felt like he'd just received a sudden windfall.
So this counts as showing off, huh.
It seems the judgment criteria for 'Unity of Heart and Mind' are quite broad. It must be showing off in a general sense—as long as you're in the spotlight and make others feel envious, jealous, and hateful, it counts.
Broad criteria mean a lower difficulty for farming Sharpness. This was good news for Fumiya Jin.
However, causing such a scene wasn't without its costs.
Fumiya Jin followed Yuki Suou to a less crowded corner of the hallway, stopped, and looked at her irritably. "Well, that's great. The rumor is basically confirmed now."
With no one else around, Yuki Suou dropped the pure, sweet girl act. She revealed a mischievous smile and said, "What's wrong? I helped you get rid of those unwanted romantic advances. Aren't you happy?"
Fumiya Jin paused for a moment.
Come to think of it, no one had come to confess to him today, and he hadn't received any love letters. It had been much quieter.
He had originally thought the girls had just given up after realizing the difficulty.
But now it seemed it was probably related to the spreading rumor.
After all, Yuki Suou was a supermodel. The vast majority of girls wouldn't have the courage to compete on the same stage as her.
"I don't mind that, in fact, it's a good thing," Fumiya Jin said. "But, as a consequence, wherever I go from now on, I'll be the center of attention, pointed at as Miss Suou's fiancé. And it's all thanks to you."
"What's wrong? Is being my fiancé such a grievance for you?" Yuki Suou pouted. "Besides, haven't you considered that with your outstanding looks, you were bound to attract attention anyway? It's just a matter of how you attract it."
Hearing her say that, Fumiya Jin thought about it... and it actually made a lot of sense.
Ah, having such high charisma really is a curse.
"Fine, fine, it's no grievance. I'm blessed for three lifetimes to be the great Miss Suou's fiancé," Fumiya Jin deadpanned. Then he continued, "So, why were you really looking for me today?"
Hearing this, Yuki Suou grumbled unhappily, "Can't I come looking for you if there's nothing specific? Hmph, you heartless man!"
But after pressing her lips together, she properly stated her purpose:
"I want to ask for your help. Help me become the next student council president."
