Chapter 4— Lunch and Test
It was lunch break, and Rei sat at his usual spot, casually eating his meal.
Ayanokoji leaned over slightly, his calm expression unchanged.
"I saw the picture," he said quietly. "Didn't know you were that strong."
Rei smirked, taking a bite of his food.
"it Nothing," he replied casually.
Yamauchi, who had been watching, nearly dropped his chopsticks in shock.
"What do you mean, 'it nothing'? That's definitely more than 100 kg with ease! And you say it's nothing? You're lying—the pic must be edited!"
Rei looked at him, eyes cold and sharp. Yamauchi froze in fear.
"The weight? 300 kg," Rei said simply.
The entire table went silent. Students nearby gasped.
Ayanokoji's expression remained calm, but his mind was racing.
As I thought… 300 kg. And in the picture, he wasn't even serious.
If that's the case, he could probably lift 600 kg with ease… maybe more. But I can't be sure yet.
Rei smirked, noticing the awe and disbelief on everyone's faces.
Sudo, sitting across the table, muttered, "That's… a lot."
"it Nothing," Rei replied again, as if dismissing the impossible.
Even Horikita blinked in surprise, quietly processing the revelation.

Lunch ended quickly, and the students returned to class.
Sae Chabashira entered, clipboard in hand, her usual authoritative presence filling the room.
If I remember correctly… Rei thought, today's the day she gives the test.
"Today, there will be a test," Sae announced. "Don't worry—it won't affect your score."
The students immediately began whispering among themselves, speculating about the difficulty.
Rei leaned back slightly and smirked.
So it really is today… perfect.
He glanced at Ayanokoji.
"What do you think? How much can you score?"
Ayanokoji shrugged. "I don't know."
Rei smirked again.
"Maybe aim for 60–70 at least. That's the average."
Ayanokoji tilted his head slightly.
"And you?"
"For sure? 100," Rei said confidently.
Sae clapped her hands.
"Quiet, everyone! The test starts now."
Rei leaned back in his seat, calm as ever.
When the test papers were handed out, Rei studied them for a brief second. Then a smirk spread across his face.
I can understand everything…
Without hesitation, he began writing at full speed, every answer flowing naturally, precise, and flawless.
Around him, other students were still processing the questions.
This is going to be fun, Rei thought, smirking.
After school, Rei walked beside Ayanokoji.
"So… how much do you think you scored?" Rei asked casually.
"I think… between 60 and 70 points," Ayanokoji replied evenly.
Rei smirked.
"I'll get 100. No problem."
Ayanokoji simply nodded.
"I see."
Rei got up from his seat.
"See you tomorrow, buddy."
"See you tomorrow," Ayanokoji replied, as calm as ever.
Rei began walking toward Chie's dorm, his mind already anticipating the evening.
No one will catch me today. Aventurine's Absolute Luck has my back, he thought with a smirk.
He reached Chie's door and knocked.
The door opened, revealing her smiling face.
"What's up, my slave?" Rei teased.
Chie's eyes sparkled as she curtsied slightly.
"Nice to meet you, master," she said playfully.
"Master, I prepared a dress. Please tell me how it looks," Chie added, her excitement barely contained.
"Okay," Rei replied with a grin.
Chie disappeared into the washroom and came out a few minutes later, wearing a stunning, sexy dress that hugged her curves perfectly.
Rei's smirk widened.
"Not bad at all."
Chie blushed slightly, bowing her head.
"Thank you, master."
Without another word, Rei took her hand and led her to the bed, their laughter and playful teasing filling the room.
…And the rest of the night went exactly as expected.
Rei woke up at 5 a.m., Chie still hugging his arm while sleeping peacefully.
He slipped out of her grip, took a quick shower, and headed back to his dorm to change.
A few minutes later, he was already walking toward the gym.
As he entered, he saw Fūka Kiryūin arriving at the same time.
"Good morning, partner," Fūka said, tying her hair up.
"Good morning," Rei replied with a smirk.
"Don't disappoint me today," she teased.
"I should be the one saying that to you," Rei shot back calmly.
Fūka's eyes narrowed with amusement.
"Oho? Confident, huh?"
Rei didn't answer. He simply removed his shirt.
Fūka froze for half a second.
"You really are handsome… and built like a monster," she whispered, then cleared her throat.
"Ahem— alright, show me what you've got."
Rei began warming up, then moved straight into heavy lifts like it was nothing.
Every set he did was over 200 kg, and he moved as if he were lifting feathers.
Fūka tried to keep up… but couldn't.
Her eyes widened.
He's not human… he's a beast.
Rei moved to the bench press and started pressing massive weight without hesitation.
When he finished, Fūka, trying to match him, slid under the bar.
The moment she pushed—
the bar almost crashed onto her chest.
But Rei caught it instantly with one hand.
"Try not to kill yourself," he said casually.
Fūka sat up, panting.
"You… are really strong."
Rei smirked.
"I know I am."
Fūka clicked her tongue, annoyed but clearly thrilled.
"This is going to be fun, partner."
"Try to catch up," Rei said.
"That's the fun part," Fūka replied with a sharp grin.
"I can't wait to become strong enough to shock you."
Rei crossed his arms.
"You can't. You're too weak for that."
Fūka's eye twitched—half insulted, half excited.
"We'll see about that."
Rei only smirked.

A whole month passed.
Nothing really happened—mornings were spent at the gym with Fūka, then school, sometimes a quick stop at the casino to make more money, and evenings enjoying Chie's company. Life was effortless.
Rei entered the classroom, and as always, all eyes were on him. He calmly walked to his seat and sat down.
Sae Chabashira entered shortly after.
"Congratulations," she announced, her voice bright. "Class D has officially become Class A in the first month! You people are the first to ever achieve this!"
Rei smirked.
As expected.
The system chimed in: +1000 points.
Rei now had 1400 points. He grinned.
Sae continued, "From now on, Class A is Class B, Class B is Class C, Class C is Class D, and Class D is Class A."
The classroom erupted in celebration. Students cheered, clapped, and even some high-fives were thrown around.
"Here are the class points," Sae said, ignoring the excited chatter. "I won't explain further since Rei already figured it out on the first day."
She wrote the points on the board:
Class A: 950 points
Class B: 940 points
Class C: 650 points
Class D: 490 points
Rei smirked.
Expected. Class D becomes Class A. 950 points. Everything else is exactly as I anticipated.
After class, Ayanokoji approached him.
"It went exactly as you said. Thanks to you, we're now in Class A… though just 10 points ahead of Class B. Still, we made it."
Rei nodded casually.
Hirata, Kushida, and several other classmates stood up and approached him.
"Rei, please… be our class leader!" they pleaded, their eyes wide.
Rei smirked inwardly. Perfect. I can use this to get Suzune and Sae… and Kushida, as usual, is faking it.
Kushida leaned forward, giving him puppy eyes.
"Rei-kun, please be the leader…"
Rei rolled his eyes slightly.
If this were real… I might have fallen for it. But I know better.
"No thanks," he said coolly, then walked away.
Horikita, watching silently from the side, clenched her fists.
He really won't do it… Do I really have to keep up with that deal—two kisses a day for three years?
Her mind was conflicted, but she remained quiet, observing Rei's effortless dominance and calculating how to proceed.
