"Ding! The host has chosen the authority 'Wing Contract'! Authority granted!"
After Nakano Yu made his choice, a system notification sounded, and then a silver-white light spread out from the young man's body.
When the light dispersed, Nakano Yu clenched his fists and discovered that his strength had not increased at all.
"As expected, it's only a support-type authority, but the ability to create subordinate gods itself is already extremely powerful."
The young man smiled and gently shook his head, quietly murmuring to himself. In his mind, he was already planning when to find Miura Yumiko to test the blessing of the "Wing Contract."
However, although the Wing Contract could indeed raise the contractor's strength to the level of a subordinate god, it also involved Li Yuuna's own powerful talent and combat abilities, as she served as an advisor to the Divine Court.
Nakano Yu was not sure how much this could strengthen ordinary people like Miura Yumiko.
"I'll try it later. Anyway, I don't even know how to activate this."
No longer thinking about it, Nakano Yu left the room. When the time came, he would know, and it would definitely be useful to him.
"Sobu High School was bombed?!"
"Yes, Nakano, it seems it was a terrorist attack. The school has announced a suspension of classes for three weeks for repairs, and I heard the damage was quite severe."
Inside the office, Jōdan-san was seriously reporting to a solemn middle-aged man.
That man was none other than Nakano Yu and the Quintuplets' father, the president of the Nakano Pharmaceutical Group — Nakano Maruo!
"Were Ichika and Yu injured?"
Flipping through the report handed to him by researchers from the medical sector, Nakano Maruo asked seemingly casually.
"Well, Miss Ichika and the others happened to be on leave at home when the terrorist attack occurred, so they were not injured. As for young master Yu…"
Edo nodded and continued speaking, then paused with a strange expression on his face.
"What is it? Was Yu injured? If Ichika and the others were on leave, Yu couldn't have gone to school, right?"
Noticing Edo's pause, Nakano Maruo frowned unhappily, put the documents down on the desk, looked at Edo, and asked.
"The situation is like this: young master Yu helped Miss Ichika and the others take leave, but after taking his own leave, he returned to school, and then was hit on the head by debris from the roof on the school grounds."
"According to the doctor at Sobu High School's infirmary, young master Yu was unconscious for half an hour and left immediately after waking up."
Taking a deep breath, Edo explained, holding back a smile.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Nakano Maruo was filled with disbelief. What was that? Had that impudent brat suffered divine punishment? Or perhaps he had been playing with someone's feelings?
"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy is really unlucky. Did he do something that angered both gods and people? Like playing with girls' feelings?"
After sighing, Nakano Maruo stood up, looked at the academy not far away, which was even larger than Sobu High School, and said:
"Alright, we can't let Yu idle around. That girl from the Tachibana family will be returning soon, right?"
"Mr. Nakano, Kikyo Iwa said that Miss Tachibana's flight is tomorrow, but he also passed on a warning."
As Nakano Maruo's assistant and secretary, Edo had practically followed every step of his rise to this position, so he could also handle certain personal matters.
"What did he say?"
Hearing this, Nakano Maruo asked in confusion.
"Mr. Kikyo Iwa said to pass on to young master Yu that he should stay away from his precious daughter."
Edo did not beat around the bush and directly relayed Kikyo Iwa's words.
"That old man really isn't afraid that next time he gets shot, no one will operate on him. Yu has never gotten involved with his precious daughter."
Smiling and shaking his head, Nakano Maruo turned around and said:
"During this period, let Yu and Ichika attend Shuchi'in Academy. I'll inform Yu later. As for the school matters, I'll leave them to you, Edo."
"Yes, Mr. Nakano."
Edo nodded and noted it down.
Nakano Maruo had long been thinking about transferring Nakano Yu and the Quintuplets, but they had been unwilling, so the matter had been delayed.
Now that Sobu High School had been bombed, it was an opportunity for Nakano Yu and the Quintuplets to experience a true aristocratic academy.
Speaking of which, hadn't Mr. Maruo and his wife met at Shuchi'in Academy?
Thinking about this, Edo left the office to prepare the enrollment of Nakano Yu and the Quintuplets at Shuchi'in Academy, while Nakano Maruo leaned back in his office chair and continued reading the medical report:
"There have been quite a few medical accidents in the hospital lately… But why?"
The day passed without any incidents, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning arrived. Because the reason for the terrorist attack had been covered up and the teaching building required repairs, all students of Sobu High School did not need to attend classes. Nakano Yu had already expected this.
However, people from other academies did not think the same.
"Hey! Did you hear? It seems the neighboring Sobu High School was attacked by terrorists yesterday!"
"No way?! How come I didn't know?"
"Kano-chan doesn't watch the news. They say that yesterday, during the solar eclipse, those terrorists seized the opportunity to activate bombs. I heard an entire floor was blown up!"
"How terrifying!"
"No one was injured, only the building was destroyed. Now Sobu High School has three weeks off!"
Inside Shuchi'in Academy, students were discussing yesterday's terrorist attack on Sobu High School.
After all, Sobu High School was a private academy comparable to Shuchi'in Academy. Although it had been suppressed into second place by Shuchi'in Academy for years, there were rumors that Sobu High School had produced a genius student who not only had outstanding grades but also came from a major conglomerate!
Such a genius should have enrolled in their Shuchi'in Academy, but it was said that he went to Sobu High School to stay close to his family, which was somewhat regrettable.
But that was the concern of the upper levels of the academy; students generally did not care about it.
Just as the students were discussing Sobu High School, a cold, unapproachable voice sounded:
"Class is about to begin. Why are you still loitering in the hallway?"
Hearing the voice, the students lingering in the hallway turned to look. But when they saw who it was, their faces stiffened and they quickly bowed, apologizing:
"Sorry! President Shinomiya, we're going back right away!"
After that, several students quickly turned around and ran back into the classroom.
The so-called President Shinomiya, whose full name was Shinomiya Kaguya, was the daughter of one of Japan's four largest conglomerates.
After watching them return to the classroom, Shinomiya Kaguya, without changing her expression, headed toward the Student Council office of Shuchi'in Academy.
She still had a pile of work to do today.
Currently, Shinomiya Kaguya held the title of Student Council President, but only she knew that she was actually just an acting president. The real president had suddenly left school to study abroad after the start of the second year.
She had been appointed in an emergency, skipping the path from an ordinary Student Council member to acting president.
But such a sudden appointment also had its drawbacks: she had no one under her command.
It wasn't that there were no people in the Student Council, but rather that no one listened to her.
It had been half a month since she took over as acting president, and during that time, members of the previous Student Council had submitted resignation requests one after another.
Now, including her, only three people remained in the Student Council of Shuchi'in Academy.
One was the still-serving treasurer of the previous Student Council, the daughter of a major criminal organization — Momo Ryuju.
Another was Shinomiya Kaguya's childhood friend, the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family, which held a very high position in the political world — Fujiwara Chika…
But even with those two helpers, there was still an enormous pile of Student Council work waiting to be resolved.
After all, Fujiwara Chika had only just joined the Student Council and was still unfamiliar with the work. As for the other person, Momo Ryuju, Shinomiya Kaguya had nothing nice to say about her; she would occasionally organize and report the Student Council's finances, and completely refused to take on other tasks.
But Shinomiya Kaguya also knew that, for her, as a first-year student, Momo Ryuju was naturally unconvinced. If it hadn't been for the instructions of the former Student Council president, she probably would have submitted a resignation request like the other members.
Returning to the Student Council office, Shinomiya Kaguya immediately saw a pile of unresolved documents on the desk, stacked like a small mountain.
She looked around the office expressionlessly and realized there was no one else.
Shinomiya Kaguya let out an almost imperceptible sigh, sat down in her office chair, and began processing today's documents.
However, after nearly half an hour of work, she had only processed a small portion of the documents; many more were still waiting for her attention.
Most of those documents concerned incidents caused by problematic students after the departure of the former president. Her task was to issue rulings, which included bullying and even incidents directed at teachers.
After all, most of the students at Shuchi'in Academy were children of conglomerates, and their family backgrounds made these young masters and ladies act recklessly.
"What a bunch of idiots."
After issuing a punishment for one bullying case, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly cursed, not knowing whether it was because she couldn't tolerate the bullying, or because those people were increasing her workload.
Perhaps it was both. But when Shinomiya Kaguya picked up the next document, she was surprised to find that it contained the identification information of a young man.
"Hmm? From the Nakano family?"
Seeing the name "Nakano Yu" in the "Name" column, Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly.
Of course she knew of Nakano Yu; after all, she was often compared to him.
As the daughter of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya had always been unparalleled, until at a boring banquet she heard someone mention the name "Nakano Yu."
And the meaning of those words was that she was inferior to Nakano Yu.
At the time, Shinomiya Kaguya did not take it seriously. She had always despised such comparative rumors, because she had never seen a peer who was more outstanding than her. 3.5
But soon she discovered that similar comments began to appear more and more frequently, all saying that in terms of ability she was inferior to that suddenly emerged man. It was precisely then that Shinomiya Kaguya became interested in Nakano Yu.
After investigating his background, Shinomiya Kaguya discovered that he was also a young master of a conglomerate, had excellent grades, a pleasant demeanor, and attended Sobu High School.
As for additional information, Shinomiya Kaguya could not find anything; it seemed that Nakano Yu was simply like that.
"Transfer application?"
Her gaze shifted to the content of the document, and only then did Shinomiya Kaguya realize that it was Nakano Yu's application to transfer to Shuchi'in Academy.
"Because of the terrorist attack on Sobu High School? What a pitiful stray dog."
Murmuring, Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at the document, which already bore the seals of the school board and the principal of Shuchi'in Academy. Without hesitation, she also stamped it with the Student Council seal.
"Then let me see just how outstanding this so-called young master Nakano really is."
After saying that, Shinomiya Kaguya casually tossed the transfer application onto the pile of processed documents and continued handling paperwork, as if she did not attach any importance to the matter.
Only Shinomiya Kaguya knew how curious she actually was about that young man who was said to far surpass her.
She could not believe that among her peers there existed someone more outstanding than her!
