Chapter 279 279: Masumi's Extraordinary Singing Skills
"Um..."
"Yoshida-kun, you didn't enter Advanced Nurturing High School for this kind of thing, did you?" Hiyori changed the subject while asking a crucial question.
"Shiina, I think you're overthinking it. I came here purely to visit you all." Tenya spoke truthfully.
In fact, it was true. Having long been invincible, he no longer cared about treasure chests or anything else. The world was vast, and he could go wherever he pleased, acting as he wished.
"Who asked you to visit?" Mio scoffed.
"Alright, since Ibuki-san doesn't welcome me, I'll take my leave." Tenya smiled faintly and turned to leave on his own accord.
"Eh? That simple?" Mio was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting him to leave so easily.
"Yoshida-kun is planning to go find other girls, right?"
Hiyori stared at Tenya with a deep, meaningful gaze.
"Forgive me, Shiina. I am simply such a sinful man." Tenya didn't try to argue, admitting his next objective.

Weekend.
Students of Advanced Nurturing High School were out shopping in small groups. The points earned from class battles allowed students in the advantageous classes to have considerable spending power. Of course, D Class was an exception.
"What a cute doll but it costs a full 5000 points. Kei, can you lend me some?"
"Eh? I don't have many points either."
"I don't have many either."
Kei, Chiaki, and Maya, the popular trio.
"Yo. Three lovely girls, what a coincidence." Tenya proactively greeted them.
"What an old-fashioned pickup line, who are you… Oh! Isn't that Yoshida-kun?"
Kei initially thought it was a pickup attempt and instinctively rejected him, but when she turned her head, she saw it was an old acquaintance.
"Huh? The inter-school activity is over, why is Yoshida-kun here?" Chiaki was the most intelligent of the three girls.
"Hehe." Tenya smiled without speaking.
"Well, well. What does it matter? Anyway, it's rare to meet such a handsome guy, let's shop together." Maya had a somewhat flighty personality and was also a bit vain. As soon as she saw the handsome and wealthy Tenya, she couldn't help but proactively cling to him.
Tenya naturally welcomed them, smiling as he said, "Didn't you just like that doll? I can give one to each of you."
"Eh?"
"Really?"
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
The three girls' eyes lit up, and they feigned modesty for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the cute dolls.
"Wow. Yoshida-kun is amazing. Next, how about we go to karaoke?" Kei happily suggested.
...
"Wow. What a luxurious K-room. It must cost at least 50,000 points, right?"
"They say only people from A Class can afford it, I didn't expect us to be able to come too."
Kei's gal trio was quickly captivated by the luxuriously decorated K-room.
"Hey, what does class matter? Cute girls deserve a room like this." Tenya spoke effortlessly, charming the three girls in front of him.
He thought that the educational philosophy of Advanced Nurturing High School was truly unbelievable. Building such a luxurious K-room within the school was intended to create a simulated society. And the high pricing was clearly meant to further stimulate the competition between the classes.
"Huh? So noisy. Someone else booked this room?"
There was only one luxurious K-room. Before this, only people from A Class would gather here.
"Oh my. Isn't this Tenya-kun?"
The newcomer was Arisu, accompanied by students who were 'friends' in name but 'followers' in reality.
"Arisu, long time no see. Your ice cream is as beautiful as ever." Tenya's gaze shifted downward, landing on her signature white lace camisole.
"Ice cream…"
"Your taste, you really don't hide it at all." Masumi crossed her arms, raising her head and glaring at Tenya with disdain.
"Masumi's chocolate bar is also very good." Tenya shifted his gaze, landing on her short knee-high black socks.
"You…!"
Masumi opened her mouth, realizing that any words she wanted to retort with would likely have no impact on him.
"Hehe. If Tenya-kun likes it, you can eat it for a lifetime."
Facing Tenya's ambiguous and provocative words, Arisu appeared much calmer, even calmly uttering suggestive words that made others blush.
"Hey! No poaching! We made plans with him first." Kei showed displeasure, uncharacteristically becoming firm.
"Poaching? Karuizawa-san, that's an interesting thing to say. Are you sure your relationship with Tenya-kun is as deep as mine?" Arisu narrowed her eyes as she looked at her.
"Enough nonsense. Anyway, this is our territory now." Kei said with a strong expression.
"Tch! Don't talk big, D Class. The cost of this room is not something you can afford. Anyway, it's this man's points, isn't it?" Masumi retorted unhappily.
"Oh dear. Tenya-kun, you wouldn't abandon your old love for a new one, would you?" Arisu teased with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of tasteless man?" Tenya refuted seriously.
Everyone present was utterly speechless.
You still have the nerve to talk about character?
"When dating, the more people, the livelier it is. So, let's play together." Tenya smiled slightly, extending an invitation to the A Class students in front of him.
"With pleasure." Arisu accepted without hesitation.
This made Masumi next to her feel a bit embarrassed, thinking that Tenya's brazenness was truly extraordinary.
"This…"
Kei and the others felt awkward, but there was nothing they could do.
The group entered the K-room.
"Yoshi… Tenya-kun. What song do you like? I'll sing it for you."
Kei proactively took the initiative, sitting close to Tenya's left side, and intimately hugged his arm while holding the song-selection tablet.
"As expected of Kei!"
Her two best friends secretly admired her, while also feeling a bit envious.
"Coincidentally, I also know a thing or two about music." Arisu then naturally sat on Tenya's right side.
"Let's start with 'Conquer'." Tenya sat grandly, enjoying himself with a beauty on each arm.
"Tenya-kun has such a wicked sense of humor." Arisu raised an eyebrow.
Although she appeared intimate with Tenya on the surface, her inner pride was very great. Having her sing a highly suggestive song like 'Conquer' was difficult for her to accept at once.
"Isn't this song a bit too embarrassing?" Kei had an awkward expression.
"You guys are so annoying, have you picked a song yet? If you don't sing, then I'll start."
Masumi, with a cold and arrogant expression, took the microphone and unceremoniously began to warm up her voice.
And you know what?
Masumi's singing was quite good. It was cool yet alluring, especially when she hit the high notes during the chorus.
"Just like this, conquered by you. Cut off all paths of retreat."
Her singing stunned the entire room.
"I underestimated you, Kamuro-san." Arisu's eyes narrowed, and her expression turned serious.
"Her personality… could she be a hidden masochist? She actually sang such embarrassing lyrics without batting an eye."
Kei and the others had complex expressions.
"Well sung! I like it very much, Masumi." Tenya gave a double thumbs up.
"Hmph. Now you know how good I am, right?" Masumi snorted, her face beaming with joy.
In the KTV room, with Masumi taking the lead in singing, the atmosphere gradually became livelier.
Kei's gyaru trio took turns on the microphone, singing and dancing, and occasionally throwing flirtatious glances at Tenya. The room was filled with laughter.
