"Nanako, have you heard the rumors?"
"What rumors?"
"They say the Principal has a secret assignment program. A mysterious project that helps solve our problems. And the content of the assignment is..."
Two girls by the shoe lockers were whispering about lewd things, their faces glowing red. They occasionally let out gasps of shock. The secret deal between Rikka and Alex had spread faster than anyone expected.
"I already knew about that."
"But, but... so many girls are actually volunteering for it!"
"Eh? You're lying. I mean, since there are no boys here, I think about that stuff sometimes, but... doing it with a stranger? Isn't that too weird?"
"I thought so too, but the girls who came back can't stop talking about him. They say that guy, Alex, is incredible."
"Alex?"
The name was becoming a household word in the school.
"Nanako, do you think we should try it too?"
"Well..."
As Tomoe Kisaragi walked past them, her pace faltered for a split second. The honor student bit her lip and stole a glance at the two girls before moving on. She whispered to herself, "Alex."
She was one of the students they were talking about. And they were right—she couldn't stop thinking about him. That extreme joy, the pleasure engraved on her very flesh... she couldn't forget it.
She wanted to see him again, but Principal Rikka had turned her down, saying the waiting list was too long. She couldn't reach him privately, either; apparently, he was busy and didn't have time for a date.
"Sigh."
Tomoe let out a melancholy sigh. She felt like she couldn't live without him anymore. It was like being poisoned; she felt restless every moment she wasn't with him. The other girls probably felt the same.
The sex had solved her stress problem, but it had created a much bigger one. Alex's fatal attraction was going to consume every girl in the school.
On the track—
The track and field girls were gathered, whistles blowing occasionally. Mio Kato stood on the sidelines watching. Soon, a cheer erupted. "I broke my record! Mio, I broke my record too!"
"This... everyone is improving so much. It really is because of Alex, isn't it?"
"It's so... magical. Doing lewd things with Alex actually makes us stronger? It's unbelievable. If the results weren't right in front of us, I'd never believe it. He's amazing."
"Alex... who is he, really?"
Amidst the cheers and discussions, Mio rested her chin in her hands. "Don't tell me you all want to find him again."
"What, you don't?" a teammate asked, patting Mio on the shoulder with a grin.
Mio's eyes flickered with guilt. Having her thoughts read, she put her hands on her hips defiantly. "Of course I do! But not just to get stronger. I just... I like being with him... ahem!"
"Wow, Mio, you're so dirty. You're just thinking about the sex," the girl teased, but then she turned red too as she remembered the feeling of being filled by him. "But... doing it with Alex really is the best."
"Mio's right. Just having sex with Alex is enough to make me happy," the other girls agreed. They were all reminiscing about their nights with him.
"I really want to do it again."
"You little pervert."
"Call me whatever you want. As long as it's Alex, I'll do anything he wants."
It turned out that girls could be just as graphic as men. As the track club chattered away, they didn't notice a blonde girl walking by.
This girl, who looked to have Western European heritage, paused as she heard the conversation. Her already cold expression became even icier. A visible aura of terror surrounded her.
Alex... sex... hmph. Louisa Licita gave a cold sneer, her beautiful, pale face hardening. She turned on her heel and headed straight for the Principal's office. Even though the name "Alex" sounded vaguely familiar, her rage prevented her from dwelling on it.
BAM—!
She barged into the Principal's office with a total lack of manners. As the Student Council President of St. Flower, she didn't care about etiquette right now. Her sharp eyes locked onto Rikka Isurugi. "PRINCIPAL!!!"
"Ah, President Louisa. Is something the matter?" Rikka asked calmly, a smile on her face.
"Principal Rikka, stop this ridiculous project immediately!" Louisa practically hissed. "Do you have any idea what this school has become? Everyone is talking about that man, talking about... those things! It's—!"
"Is this even a school anymore? Using sex to relieve stress? It's absurd!"
Louisa couldn't stand her school turning into a den of vice.
"It seems Alex is quite charming. Every student is obsessed with him. While I didn't expect it to go this far... what does it matter? It's consensual, isn't it? No one is being forced. If you don't like it, don't join."
Rikka spoke casually. "As for the atmosphere, I think it's fine. The students have more energy and motivation. Besides, Alex isn't a bad guy. This might be the luckiest thing to happen to these girls."
Louisa: "..."
The blonde heiress felt like she might faint. "Is that something a Principal should say?! I will not accept this! It's a degenerate path! And this Alex... he's probably a scoundrel! He's just tricking these naive girls."
"So, what do you plan to do?" Rikka looked at the girl with interest. The Student Council President was excellent, perfect, and responsible. "I'm not stopping the project."
"..."
Louisa was silent for several minutes before finally speaking. "I'm joining too."
"Oh?" Rikka leaned forward, a smirk on her face. "You refused last time. Why now? Louisa, what are you planning?"
"That is none of your concern. As the Student Council President and a student of this school, I have the right to join, don't I?" Louisa said, her eyes flashing with a strange light.
"Of course. However, there's a long waiting list. If you want to join, you'll have to get in line," Rikka chuckled.
A line?
"I'm the Student Council President. I should have some privileges," Louisa gritted out.
"You really are strange. You hated it so much a moment ago, and now you want in," Rikka rested her chin on her hands. "If you insist, I can let you jump the queue. But unfortunately, Alex is busy lately. Even if you're next, you won't be able to book him yet."
"I'll handle that myself."
In the end, Louisa got Alex's contact information. As Rikka watched the stubborn President leave, her smile turned mischievous. She could already see the ending. Louisa, even you will fall under his spell.
She was actually looking forward to the sight of the President being addicted to Alex.
It should be very interesting.
"Phew—"
Leaving the office, Louisa let out a long sigh. She hadn't expected to resort to this. She truly hated the Principal's project. As the President, she had known about it early on.
She had always opposed it, but now... Well, this was all to destroy the project from the inside. To bring the school and the students back to the right path. The rumors of the last two days had been too much for her to take.
"Alex," she muttered, looking at the profile and the photo. A sense of familiarity hit her again. She felt like she'd heard the name, but she couldn't place it.
She couldn't catch that spark of inspiration, so she gave up. She'd be meeting him soon anyway. A cold sneer touched her lips. No matter who this Alex was or what charm he had, he was just a pervert who liked money and women.
Otherwise, why would he agree to such a project? He was clearly just after the girls.
"A man like that... I won't be like those other girls. I won't be attracted to him," she declared with total confidence.
She had reason to be confident. Louisa Licita was an heiress of a massive conglomerate with a vast fortune. But unlike other heiresses, she hated her family. Specifically, she hated her father. Her once-beloved father had turned out to be a greedy, lustful man.
He had abandoned her mother for other women, causing deep psychological scars in young Louisa. Because of that, her worldview had shifted.
Bastards like that should just drop dead!
By extension, she already hated Alex. And Alex, who was currently with Kaede and the others, had no idea he was already on the hit list of a very vengeful young lady.
