“It was the master, Kokonoe-sensei, who asked you to transport that, you know? It’s not me.”
Tatsuya replied to Ono Haruka with a grateful smile as he accepted the luggage she brought to him.
“That’s right, Tatsuya. How could you let such a beauty do your errands for you?”
Standing up from leaning on the tral pilr of the Nine Schools petition’s verae, Yuuji approached Tatsuya and pced a hand on his shoulder with a teasing smile.
“Hah…”
Tatsuya let out a deep sigh as Yuuji wi Haruka, causio blush. She csped her hands in front of her and fidgeted, squeezing her breasts together.
“If you’re not happy with errands, then perhaps you're not ied in a tax-free windfall?”
Haruka snapped out of her embarrassment upon hearing Tatsuya’s words, and leaned in with a ed expression.
As an experienced “free agent” and informant, Haruka could tell what Tatsuya was alluding to. And that was exactly why she was ed.
“What do you wao do…?”
“Please find out where the No Head Dragon’s base is located.”
Immediately, a gasp escaped her lips and she quickly tried to cover Tatsuya’s mouth before turning towards Yuuji.
But to her surprise, he was simply standing there with his usual smile.
“Eh…? T-T-Tsubakihara-kun…? D-Do you…”
“Please five me for not telling you earlier, Ono-sensei. But please be assured. I’m tight-lipped and I’m also aware of… well, more than you think.”
“...”
Her widened eyes stared fixated upon him. Her mind, still processing the shod his words. But soon, Haruka finally let out a tired sigh and shook her head.
“Alright… But Shiba-kun, how did you know about No Head Dragon?”
“I believe it’s a no-braio look into the identity of the ehat means you harm.”
Her eyes narrowed, looking at Tatsuya and Yuuji bad forth.
“...What are you boys pnning?”
“Right now, I’m not pnning anything. But since I would be uneasy not knowing the enemy’s whereabouts when it’s time to strike back…”
“...What about you?”
Haruka looked towards Yuuji. Her eyes still narrowed. But Yuuji replied calmly with a smile. After all, usuya, he won’t be lying.
“I’m not pnning on doing anything with it, Ono-sensei. Just like Tatsuya, I’m simply keeping it as an… insurance.”
“...Alright. Give me a day.”
“Thank you very much, Ono-sensei.”
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
“Eh?! Yoing to use it?!”
Surprised, Aika turned around to look at Yuuji, who was hugging her from behind while she sat on his p.
He was already wearing his full gear for the Monolith Code finals against the Third High School, except for the helmet which he put oable a few distance away. He was just spending the time before the match with Aika in a private room in First High’s tent.
“Yes. I’ve decided.”
“Hm~ I see."
"Do you think it's a bad idea?"
"No~ It's just a bit of a shame that I 't debut it myself. But it's fine~ I'm sure it'd still be a sight to see~! Fufu~ ’t wait to see the absolute dumbfounded faces on all of them~”
Aika giggled. Now that Yuuji had decided to go all out, the Monolith Code Finals would be even more iing thahought! She’ll get to see her beloved darling kick ass!!!
“But what’s gotten to you all of a sudden? I thought you’re just going to leave it to Tatsuya.”
“I was. But…”
Aika tilted her head, fused. Why was he averting his gaze away from her? And… was he blushing?
It’s absolutely adorable, but why is he being embarrassed now?
“...Promise you won’t ugh at me?”
“Hm? No.”
“...”
Yuuji looked at her speechlessly. Wasn’t the answer supposed to be “yes”? In this moment, when your boyfriend is asking you not to ugh, the answer was supposed to be yes, right?
Seeing his dumbfounded face, Aika burst into a ugh and turned around pletely, straddling him face to fabsp;
“Ahahaha! There there~! You don’t have to be that surprised. I mean, of course I ’t promise that. I’ll ugh if it’s funny. But you don’t have to worry. Whatever it is, I'll still love you. Though I might scold you if it's something stupid.”
She ed her arms around his ned pulled him into her chest, burying his fa her cleavage.
“...”
Hearing her words and being pulled into her embrace, Yuuji felt his entire body rexing as her fragraered his nose. She smelled like jasmine flowers, and she’s soft and warm on top of that. His arms couldn’t help but arouighter as he buried his face deeper into her chest.
“I… want to…”
“Hm? What was that?”
Aika loosened her hug around Yuuji, letting him lift his face slightly. He was still averting his gaze away from her with redly blushing cheeks.
“Ah, geez! I’ll tell you, okay?! I… I wao look cool for you and Erika…”
“Oh, is that it?”
“Eh?”
Silence fell in the room before Aika burst into ughter.
“Ahhahahaha~! Is that really it? A~ Don’t worry, baby~ You’re already the coolest to us~! You’re the coolest, most handsome, most awesome man in all the world for us~!!!”
“Ughh… I know you’ll react like this…”
Aika tio ugh as Yuuji slowly buried his blushing face bato her chest.
“Did you think of this idea after seeing that crimson prince or whatever show off~?"
"....Uhn."
"I see~ But why are you so embarrassed about this? Isn’t it normal to want to look cool in front of yirlfriends? It’s not as childish as you think, you know?
“... I guess. But now that I said it out loud, I ’t help but… ge.”
“It’s ne. Wanting to act cool for yirlfriends isn't ge. It’s just normal. After all, of course you’d want to show your best side to the ones you love.”
Aika began stroking his head, bing his soft, silky hair with her fingers as she kissed his head on a while.
“And from what you told me, it’s also an amazing strategy. I’m sure they’ll be pletely shocked when you do it sihey’ll expect you to just hang back while Tatsuya charges ahead.”
“...”
“Ah, not to mention. If you show off that kind of power, it’ll definitely be easier for you to be in a retionship with Mayumi-senpai and be accepted by her family~! It’s perfect!”
“Mm…That's true.”
“Geez, why are you this embarrassed anyway? It’s not that embarrassing, you know?”
Yuuji’s arms tightened around her waist.
Aika’s words are true, but after saying it out loud and recalling the things he did to impress Aika and Erika, he couldn’t help but feel his body ge in shame.
Most of what he did, he did genuinely because he wao or because it is the most effective way of doing it.
Getting high scores in school. Doing his best to learn the magic system of this world. Using his magipletely destroy “Bnche” and subdue the trouble makers as part of the Disciplinary ittee. Using his <
Everything he had done was because he wao do it genuinely. But… he’d be lying if it’s the only reason.
After fessing their feelings to each other and being lovers, there was also a part of him who wao impress Aika and Erika. And perhaps… irls as well.
He wao look cool in front of them, and… show off a bit.
Now that I think about it… funting my power and looks to attract girls didn’t sound good either.
He sighed inwardly. He sounded like a hopeless pervert.
“Fufu~ It’s normal to want to show off, especially when you have so maiful girls around you~ And don’t worry. I know that you’re a pervert from the start.”
“Eh?”
Yuuji raised his head and saw her smiling at him softly.
“You’re a pervert who has a fetish for beauties and harem. I khat from the start. After all, you’re a hentai protagonist and someone who lusts after his step-family members~
But, I still love and accept all of you even after knowing that. Hell, I’m even helping you and pushing you to get a harem~!”
Aika held both of his cheeks with her hands, caressing them softly with a gentle smile.
“So there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You don’t o be afraid to show your true self to me. Your cool side. Your handsome side. Your dominating side. Your spoiled side. Your childish side. Your perverted side. Everything. I’ll accept every side of you because I’ve already fallen helplessly in love with you. And I’m sure the girls will also do the same.”
“Aika…”
Their lips slowly came together as Aika lowered her head towards him, kissing him as lovingly as she could to vey her feelings.
And when their lips separated, Yuuji saw her staring at him ever so lovingly with a beautiful smile.
“So have fun and do what you want, okay? All I ask is for you to be as genuine as you with girls. I won’t five you if you ever hurt a girl just because you’re horny.”
“Of course. I might be a pervert, but I promise you I will never be a scum.”
Just the thought of being a scumbag and hurting girls left and right, taking advantage of their body when they genuinely gave him their hearts, filled him with disgust.
All his life- No… All his lives, he was taught to respeen. Although he couldn't remember most of it, he khat he also had the same principle in his past life.
Being raised in a family full of women simply made them stronger. And scumbags who take advantage of others’ feelings for their bodies don’t deserve to exist…
He knew he wouldn't be able to answer every girls’ feelings for him. That is why he’d draw a clear liween them. And if they fess to him, he would reject them as politely and as gently as possible.
He knew his wish to have a harem might hurt those who he has feelings for as well. So, as much as it would hurt him, he’d respect that choid he won’t force them to enter his harem if they don’t wish for it.
That said, if they decide to be with him, despite being forced to share him with irls, then he’ll do everything to make sure of their happiness.
Everything.
“...Are you not angry?”
“Hm? Why would I? You know I’ve already accepted you having a harem, right?”
“...I guess so.”
Yuuji let out a soft ugh and buried his face bato her chest, taking in a lungful of her f st.
“Thank you, Aika… You’re seriously too good for me…”
“Mm~ You should be grateful~! You got super lucky finding su uanding woman, you know~?”
“Yes… I really am. Hah… What do I do now? I’ve fallen even more in love with you. Again.”
“Fufufu~ It’s your fault~ You’re the one who captured the heart of this sinful woman~”
“Yes… It is… And you’re right. You’re also very sinful for making me fall helplessly in love with you. As sinful as this sexy body.”
Yuuji shook his head and groped her bubble butt with his hands, pulling her closer to him.
“Hyan~ You pervert~!”
Aika giggled and pressed her chest against him even more, enjoying the feeling of his hands and fa her body.
But unfortunately, Yuuji let go of her soohan she wanted.
“Let’s tihis ter to celebrate my victory, okay?”
Yuuji cupped her cheek with one hand and kissed her softly.
“Mou… You’re such a tease! How could you just turn me on and then leave me i like this?!”
She pouted her lips and looked at him with dissatisfa.
“It’s not my fault that you’re so charming. But don’t worry, I’ll eat you up ter tonight, and I won’t stop even if you beg me.”
“Mmmnnhhh~”
Aika squirmed on his p as he whispered it to her ear. And as a little present, he also nibbled on her ears softly, causing her back to arch a bit and her body vulse. Her breath grew heavy. She could feel her body heating up from his toubsp;
But instead of tinuing to pleasure her with his touch, he calms her down instead, stroking her back ever so gently as he pnted kisses on her cheeks and forehead.
“Hah… Fihat’s a promise, okay?”
“Mm. I promise.”
She nodded a out a brilliant, wide smile.
“Good. Then, I’ll let you go for now! Hurry up and win! If you win ihan a mih that strategy of yours, I’ll vince Erika to join us ionight!”
“...I think she’ll faint if we do it in front of her.”
“Ufufufu~ And wouldn’t that be a sight to see~? Well, don’t worry~ I’ll just make her do a double feltio and double tit-job with me~ There’s still a lot I want to teach her~! And once she falls asleep, we tih the main course~!!!”
“...Now who’s the bigger pervert here…?”
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
Rookie Event Monolith Code Finals
First High School vs. Third High School.
On a clear sunny day, in the Open Field stage, Yuuji and Mikihiko stood in front of their team’s monolith with their cloak billowing in the wind.
Mikihiko put up the hood and clutched onto his cloak, trying to hide as much of himself and his face out of embarrassment.
“H-Hey, Tatsuya. D-Do we really o wear this…? With Yuuji’s strategy, we wouldn’t hem, right?”
Doing his final checks on his gear while standing in front of them, Tatsuya turowards Mikihiko.
“Yes. But it’d also serve as an insurance. If things don't go as phen we’ll have to do it the old way and use them to ter Cardinal Gee’s Invisible Bullet.”
“Well, I guess that makes sense… But why is Yuuji the one wearing it instead of you.”
“They’re still uhe assumption that I will be the vanguard, so I want to make them believe it until the match starts. Yuuji will give it to me afterwards.”
Yuuji giggled at Mikihiko, who was groaning in embarrassment. Wearing cloaks in this day and age did seem… tacky and cheesy. And he knew Aika and Erika would’ve been having a bst ughing at their get up now in their seats.
“Just suck it up for a few minutes, Mikihiko. I’ll finish it quickly and you take it ht after the matds.”
“Uugghh… Alright…”
Meanwhile, upon seeing the monitor s on the blimp that was flying above the arena and broadcasting the match, the Third High School team noticed their peculiar outfit.
“It’s probably just a bluff, right?”
“No, it’s not a bluf. They know about Gee… It might be a termeasure against the Invisible Bullet.”
Masaki deduced, giveure of his close friend’s signature magic.
“Certainly, that spell has rating power. But it’s still not something that could be blocked by a simple piece of cloth. I don’t think they’d front us with such a rategy.”
Kichijouji Shinkurou, Geroge narrowed his eyes as he looked towards Yuuji and the others. A sense of uneasiness filled his heart when he saw Yuuji, who was standing rexedly iween his two teammates.
“Who would’ve thought they’d still have a secret on up his sleeves…”
“Brooding over what we don’t uand isn’t going to get us anywhere. Besides, a piece of cloth like that is no threat to our victory.”
The bring sound of the horn resounded, signaling the start of the matbsp;
Immediately, Masaki fired a spell, creating a magic circle in the air just a few distance away from Yuuji and the others, ready to fire a bullet of pressed air powerful enough to leave craters on the ground.
But in the instant, the magic circle shattered as Tatsuya fired a bullet of pressed psion particles to forcibly blow away all of its activation sequeh Gram Demolition.
With an unwavering smile, Masaki stepped forward and began making his way towards them. But after two steps, he froze with his eyes widened in shock.
“What…?”
“Eh…? What is he doing…?”
Simirly, Gee, who was about to move a into a fnking position, also froze when he saw it.
From the distahey could see Yuuji taking off his cloak, handing it to Tatsuya. Then, as Tatsuya wore the cloak, Yuuji activated a magic sequence, and they saw him begin to float.
And in the moment, Yuuji suddenly bsted off in unpreted speed right towards them.
“What?!”
“He’s flying!”
Gasps of shod excmations of surprise filled the entire arena the moment Yuuji suddenly unched and pierced through the air at tremendous speed. Every single spectator all stared at the monitor and arena with widened eyes and sed jaws, dumbfounded. Including the patriarch of the Ten Master bsp;
“Masaki!”
“Tch!”
Masaki pulled the trigger of his gun-shaped CAD, and this time, more than three magic circles that would shoot pressed bullets of air appeared in the air, ready to shoot down Yuuji, who was flying at tremendous speed with his body almost parallel to the ground and only about two meters away from the ground.
But as if predig their trajectory, Yuuji broke into sharp turns in mid air well before an air bullet could get even close to him and evaded every single one shot at him with shog speed.
“What?!”
“Gee! Use your Invisible Bullet!”
“A-Ah, yes!!!”
Gee raised his hand and cast his signature spell Invisible Bullet.
But to his horror, there was no effect that could be seen on Yuuji.
“What? W-Why is he not affected by my Invisible Bullet?!”
Invisible bullet ell that increased weight on a specific point in an instant, applying tremendous pressure on one point in an instant. It defihe effect force itself without having to defihe entire phenomenon oarget, making it impossible for abilities that defend against rewriting Eidos, such as “Data Fortification”, to defend against it.
But for Yuuji, who ruled the very cept of gravity and curvature of space, he was able to simply e the effect by decreasing the effect of forces on him. In fact, this would be much easier for him to do than using Data Fortifiagic to defend his eidos against the rewriting of data.
He was never afraid of the Invisible Bullet.
“Tch! Everyone, trate fire on him! Don’t let him e closer!!!”
“Y-Yes!”
Masaki began to shoot more Air Bullets while his teammate began ung massive pieces of earth that he ripped out of the ground around him. Geave up on using Invisible Bullets and also started trying to shoot bdes of winds towards him.
But not a single one mao stop Yuuji’s advanbsp;
Some of their spells were tered by Tatsuya’s Gram Demolition that he shot from far away. And they were also forced to cel one of their spells to evade a lightning strike Mikihiko cast upon them.
But Yuuji mao evade every single ohey mao cast, evading and maneuvering around every single projectile and spell u him as if he had known about them in advand maintained his speed without any problems.
Tatsuya’s “fly” spell he helped develop wasn’t meant to be used at the speed he’s using it now. It ell meant to simply give magis air maneuverability itlefield.
If used at such a high speed, the magi would suffer from oremendous magic exhaustion for tinuously supplying psions at such a rapid rate, and two, the tremendous heat that would be geed as the magi’s body pressed the air ahead of them.
The first preve from being used for aended period of time. And the sed forces the magi to create a wind barrier or something of the sort to protect themselves against the tremendous heat that would be geed, further using up their psions.
But for those who possess tremendous amounts of psions like Yuuji and Tatsuya, they would be able to use it in such a manner. Especially Yuuji, since he could further curve the space around him to unch him even faster using the same principle as the Alcubierre drive.
In just a few seds, Yuuji covered hundreds of meters of distand finally nded with a tremendous impact just a few distance away from Masaki, kig up a cloud of dust ah.
And as the dust slowly dissipated, all three members of the Third High School could be seen beginning to float up a few meters into the air as Yuuji raised to his feet with his left hand raised in front of him.
“Nngh! This is-!”
“Arghh! I-I ’t get out of this!”
“Let us go!”
Masaki aimed his gun at Yuuji and pulled the trigger, creating five magic circles all around him, the most he could make without breaking the rule of over-firing. Yuuji did nothing, but when the pressed bullets of air shot towards him, all five suddenly hit an invisible barrier around him and was deflected, hitting the ground around him, each creating a crater.
And before he could cast another spell, Masaki felt a tremendous force suddenly strig his entire body, causing him to drop his gun.
The other two also groaned in pain as they suffered from the same stri, uo access their CAD.
And as all three members of the Third High School float helplessly in the air, Yuuji calmly made his way towards their monolith.
He cast the special activation sequeo open up the monolith and calmly, carefully entered all 52 special characters into his CAD.
The eadium burst into cheers and a deafening appuse when Yuuji finished entering all 52 characters and took the victory for his school, all while the Crimson Prind Cardinal Gee watched him do it from the air in horror.
