Chapter 8— Six Powers of a Monster
Rei lay on his bed, eyes half-open as the lottery finished spinning in his system.
A calm digital chime echoed in his mind.
System:
Congratulations. You have obtained two new abilities.
Rei sat up, already smirking.
"Let's see."

A red moon flashed in his vision for a moment.
System:
Tsukuyomi acquired.

Rei laughed.
"This is broken… Perfect."

2. Spider-Sense — Modified
Another pulse hit him, tingling through his nerves.
System:
Spider-Sense acquired.
Modified Effects:
All senses enhanced 1000×
Danger is detected before it happens
Rei's body automatically dodges attacks without needing thought

Rei clenched his fist, feeling the power surge.
"Now this is fun."
---
He stood in front of the mirror, eyes cold and confident, and began listing his arsenal:
1. Tsukuyomi
2. Spider-Sense
3. Aventurine's Absolute Luck
4. Fooling Authority
5. Nurture Genius — Path of Gun Park
6. Muzan Kibutsuji's Healing Power
He grinned, a twisted, excited grin.
"With these… I'm already above everyone in this school."
Rei looked out the window, the night breeze brushing against him.
"Stronger than Ayanokoji. Stronger than Sakayanagi. Stronger than Ryuen. Stronger than every teacher."
He placed his hands in his pockets, aura tightening with killing intent.
"I will crush this entire timeline."
A pause.
Then a slow, confident smirk.
"And rewrite it in my image."
The next morning, Rei entered the classroom with his usual calm but dominating presence.
The moment his foot crossed the doorway, the whole room went silent.
Not a single whisper.
Not a single movement.
Just the weight of Rei's aura crushing the atmosphere.
Rei:
"Good morning, everyone."
Kushida immediately put on her sweet smile.
"Good morning, Rei-kun!"
Rei glanced at her lazily.
"Kushida, I need you to do something."
Kushida brightened instantly.
"What is it? I'll do anything."
Rei smirked slightly.
"Make a group chat. Add everyone from the class."
Kushida nodded enthusiastically.
"Alright!"
Rei:
"Good. Now continue whatever you were doing."
The class resumed their chatter—quietly.
Rei sat down, leaning back, watching everything like a king overseeing his territory.

Lunch Break
Rei unlocked his phone and messaged Chiaki Matsushita.
> Meet me behind the school after classes.
Across the room, Chiaki, who had been chatting with her friends, paused as she saw the message.
Her eyes widened slightly.
She slowly turned her head toward Rei.
Rei was already looking at her.
A cold, emotionless stare.
Chiaki immediately looked away, heart pounding.
He's scary…
---
After School
Rei stood behind the school building, hands in his pockets, waiting calmly.
A few minutes later, Chiaki Matsushita came running toward him, slightly out of breath.
Chiaki:
"S-Sorry! I was talking with my friends and got a bit late…"
Rei:
"It's fine."
Chiaki swallowed nervously.
"So… what did you want from me?"
Rei stepped closer, looking down at her.
"I have a task for you."
Chiaki blinked.
"A task? What can I even do for you?"
Rei:
"It's simple."
He lowered his tone.
"You're going to stalk Sudo."
Chiaki:
"S-Sudo? Why?"
Rei ignored the question.
"When he meets anyone from Class D's boys, you start recording.
If they fight, don't stop it.
Just record everything."
Chiaki's face stiffened.
"But… why would Class D target Sudo?"
Rei's eyes sharpened.
"You don't need to know.
Just do the task."
Chiaki bit her lip, then nodded.
"…Fine. I'll do it."
Rei stepped back with a satisfied smirk.
"Good. You can go."
Chiaki hurried away, glancing back at him only once—still terrified.
---
As she left, Rei leaned against the wall.
Rei's thoughts:
In the anime… Ryuen targets Sudo exactly around this time.
That's why I never touched Sudo or tried to control him yet.
He's going to be useful. Very useful.
Rei smirked.
Everything was going according to his script.
The next morning, Rei entered the classroom and immediately heard Ike and Yamauchi whispering loudly.
"Bro, I couldn't sleep at all last night!" Ike said with sparkles in his eyes.
"Same! Today is the swimming period! We finally get to see the girls in swimsuits!" Yamauchi added, already drooling.
Rei glanced at them and thought, Right… today is that episode. Everyone here has only seen my body through that one leaked picture. Today they'll see the real thing.
A small smirk appeared on his lips.
Ayanokoji walked in beside him.
"Good morning, Rei."
"Morning, Ayanokoji," Rei replied calmly.
A moment later, Suzune entered the classroom. She walked silently to her seat, but when her eyes met Rei's, she froze for half a second. A faint blush spread across her cheeks before she quickly looked away.
Ayanokoji, who never missed anything, whispered, "Seems like Horikita likes you more than she lets on."
Rei only gave a small amused smile.
Then Chabashira-sensei walked in. She scanned the class—her gaze stopped on Rei for a moment longer than necessary. A tiny blush crept onto her face, but she quickly turned away and began the lesson as if nothing happened.

Later — Boys' Changing Room
The boys were changing for swimming class. The room was full of excited chatter—mostly Ike and Yamauchi hyping themselves up about the girls.
Suddenly, the room went silent.
Rei took off his shirt.
Every guy turned to look.
Ayanokoji stared blankly, then nodded.
"I saw the picture… but in real life, it's on a different level."
Rei grinned. "I know."
His physique didn't look like a normal high school student. His muscles were balanced, defined, and sharp like an athlete sculpted over years. The boys were speechless.
Even Hirata muttered, "That's… impressive."

Poolside
Rei and the boys walked toward the pool. Ike and Yamauchi were looking like they were about to ascend to heaven as the girls began to appear.
Rei took a seat calmly, completely unfazed.
Now then… let's see how today plays out.
His smirk deepened.
Rei observed the poolside scene unfold, and just like the anime, everything played out the same—except for one major change.
Ayanokoji wasn't talking with Suzune.
Instead, he was walking beside Rei, hands in his pockets, quietly analyzing everything. Suzune sat alone at the side of the pool, her eyes occasionally drifting toward Rei before quickly darting away.
Ayanokoji glanced at Rei.
"I think you should talk to Horikita," he suggested.
Rei shook his head. "No. She wants our relationship to stay a secret. If I walk over to her now, people will start asking questions."
Ayanokoji nodded. "True. If you're seen together too often, rumors will start."
Rei smirked. "Exactly."
At that moment, a familiar notification popped up in front of him.
[System Notification]
You have changed the timeline.
Suzune Horikita and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka did not talk during the swimming period.
Reward: +500 Points
Rei's smile widened.
As expected.
He slid into the pool, letting the cool water wrap around him as he floated on his back. With his athletic body on full display, the effect was immediate—he could feel dozens of eyes on him.
The girls tried to act like they weren't staring, but their glances lingered.
Some whispered.
Some blushed.
Some couldn't even look away.
Rei chuckled softly to himself.
All the girls are staring at me… how cute.
He closed his eyes and relaxed, enjoying the attention and the chaos he was slowly building.
Rei floated calmly in the pool, eyes half-open, scanning the area without turning his head.
And he saw it.
Suzune.
Kushida.
Karuizawa.
Chiaki.
And several other girls.
All of them were staring at him—some boldly, some shyly, some pretending to "coincidentally" glance his way every few seconds.
But the one thing they all shared?
A blush.
Rei smirked to himself.
Even Suzune, he thought.
She always maintains that cold, perfect image… yet she's looking at me like that. Cute.
His eyes slid to Kushida next.
Kushida… you hide your hatred behind that sweet smile, but even you can't stop checking out my body.
Karuizawa was trying to hide her gaze behind her sunglasses, but Rei could see right through her.
Chiaki froze whenever their eyes met and instantly looked away, face completely red.
Rei chuckled silently.
All of them are so easy to read.
Then his attention shifted to the shallow end of the pool, where Sudo was currently beating Ike while yelling something about "training him to survive."
Rei's smirk deepened.
Enjoy yourself, Sudo. In just a week… your life will be hell.
And that's when I will get Sakura. Perfect timing.
His fingers tapped the water rhythmically as he continued thinking.
Who else can I take during the Sudo incident?
Who else can become useful?
Who else can I pull into my side… or into my hands?
A dark smile appeared on his face.
I will destroy this timeline so completely… that no one will even recognize it anymore.
He closed his eyes, letting the sun warm his face as he enjoyed the chaos he was preparing to unleash.
