Chapter 273 273: End of COTE Arc
The final class competition results are as follows:
First: B Class
Second: C Class
Third: D Class
Fourth: A Class
At this point, all class competition events for Advanced Nurturing High School had concluded. The remaining time is free activity for the teachers and students of both schools, to enjoy the Christmas holiday activities.
As expected, Tenya again received countless contacts from girls.
"Whose fun should I seek tonight?" Tenya casually scrolled through the numerous message windows.
"Good evening, Yoshida-san. Good evening, Kikyo-chan."
"Eh, Kikyo-chan... My relationship with Yoshida-san doesn't seem that good, does it?" Kushida's lips twitched, but she still maintained a fake smile on her face.
"If you want to curse, just curse. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to keep it bottled up inside?"
Through his Mind Reading skill, Tenya heard the sound of her smiling on the outside but cursing in her heart.
"Cursing... How strange? Why would I curse? I'm not that kind of girl." Kushida's heart trembled, but she tried to maintain her facial expression.
"No, you are that kind of girl."
Tenya was resolute, staring intently at her.
"....."
Kushida's lips parted slightly, and the words she wanted to use to argue died in her throat the moment her gaze met his, a gaze that seemed to penetrate her very soul. She instantly understood.
"Tsk!"
"What an annoying guy! Where did you hear that from? Was it Horikita? Did that bitch tell you?"
After shedding her sunny and kind demeanor, Kushida cursed mercilessly.
Ever since she had fled from his room that night, she had been pondering what had gone wrong.
How did he, an outsider, know about her hidden dark past?
After much thought, she could only suspect Suzune, who came from the same middle school as her.
"Hmm. That's the expression. The real Kikyo, endlessly captivating." Tenya reached out and lifted her smooth chin, their eyes meeting.
"!!!"
Kushida's eyes instantly turned fierce. But facing Tenya, this so-called fierceness was merely cute and fierce.
"You still haven't told me, how exactly did you know?" Kushida desperately wanted to know the answer to this question.
"I can read minds." Tenya spoke truthfully.
"Tsk. If you don't want to say it, then don't. That's what you were just thinking, right?" Tenya then recited her inner thoughts, word for word.
"You...!"
"Is that real?"
"How is such a thing possible!!!"
Kushida's eyes widened, clearly astonished.
"Kikyo-chan is unexpectedly clumsy. Even now, do you still think I'm just an ordinary person?" Tenya retorted.
"Indeed. In reality, someone like you, who dates multiple people and ties them together, would have been cut down with a cleaver long ago." Kushida said viciously.
"So, I built my harem with my own abilities, it's perfectly reasonable." Tenya said.
"Words are cheap, at least prove it to me... Ah!!!"
Kushida still harbored doubts, but before she could finish her questioning words, a strange sensation suddenly came over her body. A game prompt popped up, indicating illegal external contact.
Kushida immediately exited the game. In reality, Kushida took off her gaming helmet.
"My Kikyo-chan."
Tenya had appeared in Kushida's room at some unknown point and was casually sitting on her bed.
"How... how did you get in? By the way, didn't you already go back to Sobu High School?"
Kushida glanced at the door lock and the window nearby, there were no signs of forced entry from the outside.
"Spatial transfer, that's not difficult to do, is it?" Tenya placed his hand on Kushida's shoulder.
The next second, before she could react, she found herself in a tropical rainforest.
"Huh? Wh-where is this?"
Kushida's eyes widened as she looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Northern Brazil, the Amazon jungle." Tenya's words were concise.
"One second, from East Asia to South America..."
"This must be magic, right?" Kushida muttered to herself.
"Although it's not, it's pretty close. In short, that's the idea." Tenya blinked, using Kamui.
The two returned to Advanced Nurturing High School's student dormitory.
"I prefer familiar surroundings, a bit cozier." Tenya casually lied down on the soft bed.
"You, what do you want to do?" Kushida suddenly felt a surge of vigilance.
"Displaying strength helps with the success rate of courtship." Tenya spoke truthfully.
Are you a beast?
Kushida really wanted to scold him mercilessly. However, she had to admit that the abilities Tenya displayed had a tremendous appeal to ordinary people.
Especially since he was handsome and wealthy, who could resist such charm?
"I..."
Kushida hesitated, her constantly changing expression gradually covered in a blush.
"Kikyo-chan, accept my love. Your so-called dark past is nothing in the face of my power. As long as you stand by my side, from now on you can be your true self." Tenya threw out an irresistible offer.
...
The Christmas inter-school event concluded successfully.
As the newly appointed Student Council President, Yuki gained significant prestige for successfully organizing such a large event. However, only those within the Student Council knew that Tenya, as an external helper, played a crucial role in it.
Tenya didn't care about that at all. Having acquired several girls from Advanced Nurturing High School... oh no, treasure chests, he was already content.
Returning to Sobu High School's campus life, Tenya continued to enjoy the pleasure of his intertwined relationships.
"Tenya, can you teach me how to solve this magic equation?" Rikka picked up a math problem book.
"Alright." Tenya readily agreed.
The long-awaited study atmosphere reminded him that he was still a high school student.
"Megumi too. Even with your expressionless face, I can feel that you're troubled." Tenya's gaze fell on Megumi's physics test paper on her desk.
"You saw through me. Then I'll leave it to Tenya-kun." Megumi didn't hesitate and earnestly asked Tenya for guidance.
"Ugh. Recently, it's been so peaceful." Rukia yawned.
She glanced at her flip phone (Reiatsu detector). She hadn't received any alerts about Hollow invasions in a long time. It was as if they had never even appeared.
"Where I am, no Hollow will step within a hundred miles." Tenya said with a calm expression.
"That's really..." Rukia's lips twitched.
Although she knew he was showing off, she had to admit, his swagger was truly impressive.
During the break.
"Tenya-kun, are you coming to the Service Club today? You haven't been there in a long time." Yui proactively invited him.
"Alright. This is our three's bond." Tenya happily accepted.
"Hehe. It's our three's bond."
Yui smiled foolishly, seemingly quite pleased with that nickname. She was a greedy girl, she wanted both the boy she liked and her best friend.
Whoosh!
"I'm here, Yukino." Tenya pulled open the Service Club's door.
"Tenya, I recall telling you that you must knock before opening the door, didn't I?" Uukino took a sip of her black tea, saying with displeasure.
"Alright, next time for sure." Tenya nodded.
"I've heard your 'next time' at least eight times already." Yukino glared at him exasperatedly.
"Yukinon." Yui habitually went for a hug, intimately rubbing her face against Yukino's.
"Too close, Yui." Yukino only symbolically pushed her away, seemingly long accustomed to it.
"Tenya-senpai, your black tea." Iroha served the black tea.
Not long ago, she had joined the Service Club, becoming one of its members.
"Mm. Not bad. Your tea-making skills have reached half of Yukino's level." After taking a sip, Tenya praised her.
"Eh. I worked so hard, and it's only half the level? Senpai, even if it's true, you could at least say it more tactfully." Iroha's expression slightly drooped, saying indignantly.
"Sorry, Iroha. Being honest is one of my many virtues." Tenya spread his hands helplessly.
"Hmph. Don't think that just because you say that, I'll brew tea for you." Yukino appeared unmoved on the surface, but her eyebrows curved into a gentle arc.
In her heart, she was making up her mind, 'Should I, perhaps, personally brew him a cup next time?'
