Chapter 193

"I see... wait, does that mean?"

A thought flashed through the girl's mind, and a smile appeared on her face.

Because the curtains were drawn, the room was quite dark.

However, Hasegawa Izumi was not affected by the light. After entering the room, he noticed various items scattered on the floor, such as clothes, and he even saw a familiar novel.

"That's really inconsiderate."

He sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, Hasegawa-kun, that's just how Ichika is. She's a girl, but she's so sloppy..."

Nakano Miku then spoke.

Just then, the light was turned on by Yotsuba.

"Oh dear, I think I heard someone talking badly about me."

The short-haired beauty, wrapped entirely in a blanket, rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken from a deep sleep.

"It's alright. I've seen girls with even worse self-care skills before, who even needed help getting dressed."

He wasn't particularly surprised.

"Really?"

"That must be a child, right?"

"Is there any girl less particular than Ichika?"

"Could it be Hasegawa's Childhood Friend?!"

This answer surprised everyone.

"Hey, I'm awake now! It's really impolite to discuss this kind of thing face-to-face!"

Nakano Ichika couldn't help but speak up.

"Alright, hurry up and get dressed, I have something to tell you."

Hasegawa Izumi noticed the girl's condition, so she didn't linger and walked out of the room.

Nakano Nino and Nakano Miku followed them out.

"Yotsuba, Itsuki, help me find a suitable outfit."

Nakano Ichika sat up, the close-fitting blanket accentuating the perfect curves of her body, her shoulders slightly exposed, her delicate skin fair and rosy.

Two or three minutes later.

Nakano Ichika and her two younger Little Sister walked out, and then at the top of the stairs, she noticed Nino sitting on the sofa, fawning over a boy, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Where did the usually arrogant and domineering Nino go?

This situation is no different from that of girls who are obsessed with love.

"Well, after all, it's that Hasegawa."

She quickly found a reason.

There are countless legends associated with this name at Shuchiin.

It's not surprising that someone like Nino, who is obsessed with looks, would be so captivated.

Afterwards, the Nakano Quintuplets and Hasegawa Izumi gathered at the sofa.

"I never expected that the person Miku was talking about would be Hasegawa-kun. That's really unexpected."

As the leader, Nakano Ichika spoke first.

Indeed, the two are worlds apart in status.

Nakano Nino spread her hands, somewhat mockingly.

In reality, that's true. One was a prominent figure at Shuchiin, while the other was just an ordinary girl with no reputation.

"Nino is no different."

Even so, upon hearing such clearly discouraging words, Nakano Miku couldn't help but glare at her.

"Your jealousy is really intense."

Nakano Ichika made a teasing remark.

Nakano Nino pouted but didn't argue.

"Alright, you guys, we're not here to fight over a girl. Let Hasegawa-kun make the arrangements so we can successfully advance to our next school... This is Miku's kind gesture, we can't waste it."

Nakano May plays the role of maintaining order among the sisters, and also helps Miku in the process.

"May is still the most lucid."

The latter turned his head and gave a compliment.

This scene makes one sigh: there will never be such good sisters as Miku and Satsuki again.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Nakano Yotsuba immediately raised her hand in response to the call.

"I will follow Hasegawa-kun's arrangements, and I will not refuse as long as it is within my power."

Nakano Nino immediately nodded.

"Huh...?"

Nakano Ichika's expression was somewhat indescribable.

"All right."

All her sisters had been won over, so even if she didn't have the same idea, she had no choice but to follow the crowd.

I am very satisfied with your attitude.

Hasegawa Izumi nodded.

He understood that this was because the aura he himself possessed was too dazzling.

This can be considered a positive effect of fame.

"You all know why Miku asked me to come this time. Your grades are really bad, and it will be very difficult for you to get into a good school if things continue like this."

"If we were to provide tutoring in the normal way, it would be extremely difficult for you to pass all subjects given your current level."

"After all, you're not exactly academic geniuses, and you don't have enough motivation, so thinking about getting into a higher education is really wishful thinking."

Hasegawa Izumi stood between the sofa and the television, speaking as she turned around.

His words, though not heavy, carried immense weight, like needles piercing the hearts of the young girls, inexplicably stirring a sense of shame for the wasted years of their lives.

But they were not desperate, because they believed that since the 'monster' in front of them could accomplish all sorts of incredible things, then improving their grades would be even less of a concern.

"What method can be used to complete this?"

Nakano Miku became a partner.

"Oh."

Hasegawa Izumi's expression hardened. He slowly raised a finger and uttered two words: "Hypnosis!"

Hypnosis?

What the hell is this?!

Upon hearing those two words Nakano Quintuplets displayed varying expressions. Apart from Ichika, who seemed somewhat shy, the other girls mostly looked bewildered, as if they were hearing it for the first time.

"In modern terms, it's... a special kind of trance-like mental state induced by human intervention, similar to sleep but not quite sleep."

"By using language to guide the hypnotized subject into a state of open subconsciousness, ideas that can help the subject achieve change can be implanted into their subconscious, thereby helping them change behavioral habits and solve psychological problems."

"If the hypnosis is successful, you will no longer hate studying, and your concentration will improve, with the speed of improvement far exceeding that of ordinary people."

Hasegawa Izumi then provided her answer.

This sounds somewhat mysterious and unbelievable, almost like something out of a fantasy.

"Are you serious, Hasegawa-kun? This kind of thing is mostly used to treat mental illnesses, isn't it?"

Regardless, Nakano Ichika still expressed her doubts.

"It's true, as long as you're willing to accept it, I can help you."

He affirmed.

There is actually an even simpler method, which is to directly transmit knowledge, but such a method is too crude and would be a considerable burden on the mental strength of ordinary people. Moreover, it is not a permanent solution and the knowledge would be forgotten very quickly.

"I'm willing to give it a try."

Nakano Miku had no reservations, because she had already made up her mind.

After careful consideration, the others agreed.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Nakano Ichika sighed.

To be honest, they didn't believe that so-called 'hypnosis' could be so magical, but since they wouldn't lose anything anyway.

"Look me in the eyes."

Following Hasegawa Izumi's instructions, they looked into those sky-blue eyes.

At first, the girls were a little shy about staring into each other's eyes, but soon something unusual happened.

Their gazes seemed drawn to a vast, boundless sea of stars, gradually fading and becoming empty and lifeless.

"Uh-huh."

Looking at the quintuplets who had become like dolls, Hasegawa Izumi inexplicably thought of the hypnosis book that Eriri had drawn, and felt a little strange.

If the story unfolds as it does in the novel, then what follows would be some enthusiastic applause, juice splattering everywhere, and a thoroughly enjoyable experience...

"Damn it, how dare you influence my thinking in this way! Eriri, you're guilty of a heinous crime!"

His expression hardened, his eyes shone brightly again, and he entered a different, cold state.

"First, from now on, you must develop a love for learning. For you, the setbacks you encounter in learning will become a source of enjoyment."

"Secondly, you will make the most of your remaining time for studying."

"Third, you will be able to fall asleep and recover your mental state more quickly..."

"Smack."

After setting several parameters, he snapped his fingers.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong."

"I felt like I was asleep just now."

"What a strange feeling."

"Hasegawa-kun, what did you do?"

Then, the girls woke up one by one, their eyes still somewhat dazed, unsure of their state.

"Don't worry about anything else, now you should study!"

Hasegawa Izumi said with a stern expression.

Under that authority that was even greater than that of a teacher, the Nakano Quintuplets frantically rummaged through their room for study books and materials.

The 82nd Club President's first kiss wasn't with you, Sawamura, but with me, Natsukawa Masuzu.

When they started learning and memorizing formulas, the feeling was completely different from before.

The boredom that used to arise has completely disappeared, replaced by a feeling of exhilarating excitement, as if I were playing some thrilling and fun game.

"Huh, is the formula really this interesting? Like using a key to open a treasure chest?"

I like this Tang poem.

"Studying doesn't seem so painful."
