Kobato Finally Gets Her Wish. (Continued)

They could tell that this Usami-san was a very flamboyant person, with big breasts but no brains, and also had some infatuation traits.

Who among you wants to take on the case?

Hasegawa Izumi turned to ask.

The supernatural phenomenon caused by the falling of these 'Rule Fragments' is extremely complex and difficult to break through by force, so he didn't bother with it. He'd rather spend that time reading a comic book, so he left the opportunity to gain experience to the others.

"Not interested."

"So boring, Death."

"Her breasts are too big, I don't like it."

"I hate this woman."

As a result, it was unanimously rejected by everyone.

"Hey, does everyone hate me?"

"As expected, someone like me shouldn't have been born into this world. I'd better find a corner to quietly rot away, sob sob..."

Usami Suzune instantly entered an Emo state, covering her face and weeping sadly.

"Just kidding."

Nibuya Morika was the first to speak out, but the kind-hearted Elf Mother could not bear to see this.

After awakening her mind and body, she also unleashed her true nature from her chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) state.

"Right, what do you all think?"

She scanned the crowd, seeking support.

"Ah, I'll help you out then, after all, it's the code of conduct for our Far East Magic Society."

"Well, since Master has spoken, Dekumori will help Death out."

"I'm quite interested in 'curses'~ I might try to research them."

The girls each expressed their opinions.

"Real!?"

"Thank you so much everyone!"

Usami Suzune immediately beamed with joy, then slammed her head on the small table with a 'thud'.

The girls marveled.

I never imagined that Shuchiin had such an amazing person!

After agreeing to resolve the issue, everyone except Hasegawa Izumi went outside to discuss solutions.

"How about we, the Far East Magic Society, stand up for Usami and clarify things?"

Nibuya Morika tried asking.

"The Club President would have to step in! Or demonstrate his abilities in that area... Otherwise, this won't work, and if this guy ruins our reputation, it would be a huge loss."

Natsukawa Masuzu denied it.

"My bad reputation is due to other people's problems...!"

Someone cried out that they were innocent, but no one paid any attention.

We sat down on the stone platform in the small garden.

How about distributing flyers or doing press releases?

Dekomori Sanae recalled the role these things played in the early days when the Far East Magic Society made its name.

"While public opinion can be helpful, as I said before, those people in the Pure Academy Student are very stubborn."

Natsukawa Masuzu spread his hands and closed his eyes.

"This won't work, that won't work, so give me an idea, you Greedy Witch!"

Dekomori Sanae shouted angrily.

"Hmm... In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to have Usami perform something shocking in public, and then use the methods you mentioned for public opinion guidance."

Natsukawa Masuzu tilted her head and offered a solution.

"My acting skills are not good."

Someone quietly raised their hand.

Let's try this method!

Takanashi Rikka, acting as the de facto vice Club President, made the decision directly.

Then, they spent several days planning to create a big news story and change everyone's opinion of Usami.

For Ability User with superpowers, doing this is incredibly easy.

With everyone's help, during the cleanup of the pool, she heroically plunged into the water and rescued the person.

No other cooperation is needed; simply guiding her secretly is enough to transform this frail woman into a hero who saves everyone.

Although it didn't reduce many people's prejudices, it did make more people feel good about her, which subsequently reversed the trend of public opinion, and the 'curse' that had been hanging over Usami disappeared on its own.

This commission has been successfully completed.

Hasegawa Izumi only paid a brief look at everyone's actions and didn't pay too much attention.

This kind of thing is indeed a bit difficult for ordinary people, but for young girls, it's a piece of cake.

Afterwards, feeling refreshed, Usami Suzune returned to the club room.

Thank you everyone for your help!

"I don't have much to give back, so I'll just give you all the photos I've taken privately as payment~"

She pulled out several pre-prepared photos from her chest, slapped them on the small table, then turned and left gracefully, without a trace.

"What an unreliable guy."

Hasegawa Izumi couldn't help but shake her head.

"Hmm, are you all looking at me like that?"

He noticed that people were giving him strange looks, their gazes shifting back and forth between him and the photograph.

"Sage, you don't actually intend to collect it, do you?"

Takanashi Rikka asked on behalf of everyone.

"How could that be? I don't need it, and you were the ones who completed the task."

He said with a smile.

"It's a picture of a beautiful girl~"

Nibuya Morika's tone became seductive once again.

Aren't you all beautiful girls?

He countered with a question.

The shock on everyone's faces outweighed their shyness, as if to say—

[You actually have the concept of 'beautiful girl' in your eyes!]

"Alright, we'll accept it."

"In other words, we're qualified to handle these photos now!"

Natsukawa Masuzu and Dekomori Sanae exchanged a glance, confirmed each other's feelings, picked up the photos, and tore them into pieces without even looking at them.

"Snort!"

The two clapped their hands, gave a disdainful look, and snorted softly.

Nibuya Mori's eyes were cold. He reached out again and released a silent Kido. A ball of flame burned the scraps of paper to ashes.

With a blank expression, Takanashi Rikka blew again, sending the ashes flying out the window and disappearing into the distance.

Hasegawa Izumi: "..."

All I can say is --

A young girl's jealousy speaks louder than any words.

Shuchiin places far greater emphasis on academic ability than ordinary schools. Not only are there many mock exams, but there are also very specific rankings, leaving no room for underachievers to hide.

On this Monday, the school also released the final exam results faster than other schools.

Unsurprisingly, the number one spot still belongs to that unchanging man— Hasegawa.

The second and third chapters were quite exciting, with Natsukawa Masuzu and Shinomiya Kaguya locked in a fierce battle, each gaining and losing a point.

Those who frequently check the rankings noticed that two other classmates from the Far East Magic Society had also joined the top ten, prompting them to sigh in amazement.

[As expected, outstanding people only hang out with other outstanding people!]

Some people used to think they were all lucky ones who had climbed the social ladder, but now that they've noticed this, they can't help but blush.

A cute girl with side pigtails is gazing longingly at the notice board.

"Are all these people monsters?!"

"And is that 'auntie' really that outstanding?!"

"In that case... even if I fight with all my might, I still can't win!"

Shijo Mako previously believed that she was the best under Hasegawa if she really went all out, but now, her increasingly inflated test scores have brought a look of despair to her eyes.

Behind her, the 'auntie' she mentioned glanced over, and after confirming that the man hadn't arrived, she left dejectedly.

Class 1-C.

"Waaaa~ Rikka, you betrayed me!"

"Didn't we agree to live an ordinary life together?"

Upon learning her results, Fujiwara Chika disregarded all decorum and knelt down, hugging Rikka's leg.

"Yes, was there such an agreement?"

Takanashi Rikka replied with an embarrassed expression.

Do you have any exam tips? I'd love to know!

There's no secret to it, I just learned it casually.

"Eh... Rikka, you've learned Izumi-chan's Versailles too!"

Fujiwara Chika pouted.

"I know you must have been secretly working hard behind the scenes to amaze everyone, right? Izumi-chan is so biased, not even including me..."

She puffed out her cheeks and shifted her gaze to the other side.

No, there isn't.

Hasegawa Izumi raised her head and said in a casual tone.

This is the truth.

Aside from their training, the girls spent all their time doing training-related homework or enhancing their 'imagination power'. They had no time to think about studying, and their improved grades were merely a side effect of their enhanced abilities.

"Liar..."

"Liar!"

"Izumi-chan, you're lying to me!"

Upon hearing these words, Fujiwara Chika seemed to turn half-darkened, her face darkening.

Why do you say that?

He asked doubtfully.

"Because... Izumi-chan also helped Nakano-san improve his grades, right!"

The girl's eyes held a hint of resentment.
