Watching Ichinose walk ahead with her arm linked with Hoshinomiya-sensei, Shangguan Che could not help but sigh: "Poor Ichinose, she's been latched onto by her homeroom teacher again."

He narrowed his eyes, watching their retreating figures, and muttered to himself, "Are they heading to the disciplinary hearing too?"

Ichinose only paused for a moment before obediently following Hoshinomiya. Shangguan Che shook his head, "As expected of Ichinose, her charm is truly immense; even her homeroom teacher is so clingy toward her."

He had no idea that Hoshinomiya was dragging Ichinose to the venue not because she admired her, but because she wanted to see Chabashira Sae suffer a setback.

After all, the two homeroom teachers were always competing in private; if Chabashira messed up at the disciplinary hearing, Hoshinomiya would be happy for days.

Back at the dormitory, Sakura took an iron box from the innermost drawer of her wardrobe and opened it cautiously, revealing six harassment letters neatly arranged inside.

Looking at the crooked handwriting on the envelopes, Shangguan Che cursed the electronics store clerk in his heart, though he stubbornly insisted aloud: "It must be that lecherous clerk's delivery method that was too stealthy, it's not that I'm useless!"

Sakura felt confused by Shangguan Che's words, but her doubt was blocked by his next sentence: "I failed to protect you."

The two walked toward the faculty office with the letters, and from a distance, they saw that only Mashima-sensei was inside grading papers.

Shangguan Che breathed a sigh of relief, "Just as I guessed, this is the result of hard work!"

He turned to look at Sakura, "Shall we go in and report it now?"

Sakura gripped the letters tightly, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily: "Yes!"

But just as they were less than twenty meters from the office, a girl with long purple hair suddenly rushed into the office, and Shangguan Che felt a jolt of tension.

Wasn't that Kamuro Masumi from Class A? He quickly grabbed Sakura and whispered, "Wait a second. Take another deep breath and run through your lines in your head. I'm rooting for you!"

Shangguan Che grumbled internally: "My luck is terrible! The fewer people around when Sakura reports this, the better; it allows her to be more natural and protects her privacy."

He stared at the office door and saw Kamuro Masumi walk over to the printer, seemingly to print some test papers, and he wondered again: "Does Class A need to mooch off the faculty office printer too?"

A few seconds later, Kamuro Masumi walked out holding a sheet of paper, and Shangguan Che finally relaxed, "So she was just printing one page, I was overthinking it."

As Kamuro Masumi walked past, Shangguan Che immediately stopped his pep talk and whispered to Sakura: "We can go in now."

After saying that, Shangguan Che lowered his head and stared at his own shoetips, trying his best not to make eye contact with Kamuro Masumi.

He did not want to fall victim to a woman's sixth sense. In this anime world, it was already lucky enough that he hadn't encountered any absurd settings like a "cowlick radar," so he couldn't afford to be careless.

As for Sakura, she was already used to walking with her head down and didn't notice Kamuro Masumi's gaze at all.

However, Shangguan Che didn't see that as Kamuro Masumi passed by Sakura, she specifically took a few extra looks at her, her eyes filled with curiosity.

After Shangguan Che and Sakura entered the office, Kamuro Masumi actually turned back, walked lightly to the office door, and pressed her ear against it.

In truth, when she and Sakayanagi Arisu had encountered Sakura last time, Sakayanagi had casually mentioned, "You might want to keep an eye on this red-haired girl," but Kamuro Masumi hadn't taken it seriously at the time.

Why should she take orders from Sakayanagi?

But seeing Sakura again, the boy beside her always gave off a sneaky vibe. That posture of deliberate concealment was somewhat similar to how she felt when she performed "special missions" (stealing things) in the past, though not entirely the same.

"Interesting." Kamuro Masumi raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued, "I'll just treat this as completing Sakayanagi's old task."

She simply stood still and listened intently to the movements inside the office.

Inside the office, Sakura's hand holding the letters was trembling. Mashima-sensei looked at her gently and said softly: "Don't be nervous, take your time. I will help you."

Shangguan Che stood behind Sakura and patted her back lightly to encourage her.

Sakura took a deep breath, finally gathered her courage, handed over the harassment letters, and said intermittently: "Mashima-sensei, these... these are harassment letters someone wrote to me, and someone has been stalking me..." The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes turned red.

Shangguan Che's mood did not lighten either.

He had caught a glimpse of Kamuro Masumi at the door out of the corner of his eye, and his heart sank.

Why does Mashima-sensei's desk have to be right by the door! he wailed internally. I can't let Kamuro leave now; Sakura is at the crucial part. I know the principle that 'the first drum rouses the spirit, the second wanes, and the third exhausts.' If she gets interrupted, she'll definitely be even more nervous. But letting Kamuro hear the whole thing is too dangerous!

He could even imagine that if he suddenly spoke up to chase her away, Mashima-sensei might suspect he had "ulterior motives."

Kamuro Masumi heard everything clearly at the door, and Shangguan Che was already calculating the situation.

Sakura being harassed was neither a huge deal nor a small one, but the key was that Sakura was from Class D, and she was from Class A.

The more Shangguan Che thought about it, the more wrong it felt: "Is reality trying to make things difficult for the Class B-D alliance? Isn't this forcing Class A to react?"

If Kamuro Masumi wanted to stir up trouble, she could easily use this incident to her advantage.

She could either spread rumors in the school to slander Sakura, or use this incident to threaten Sakura into becoming a spy for Class A.

"Even if the success rate is low, she'll definitely try. What if it works?" Shangguan Che frowned. His thinking of Kamuro in such a "dirty" way was not without reason.

As someone who was "half-omniscient," he had long known that Nagumo Miyabi from the second year had done many similar things.

Nagumo Miyabi's routine for recruiting spies was simple: "As long as you become my spy, I will give you a chance to be promoted to Class A." This was the core content of the contracts he signed with his spies.

As for how Shangguan Che knew? It was quite a "coincidence."

Last time he was "patrolling" the dorms, he saw two "mosaics" stacked together walking into a certain room and accidentally remembered the room number.

One afternoon later, he "accidentally" glanced at that room again (definitely not because he wanted to know who those two were, it was purely an accident), and as a result, he saw those contracts in the cabinet compartment where "special supplies" (condoms) were kept.

"Speaking of which, it's actually a bit embarrassing." Shangguan Che grumbled internally, "Why is it so easy for others to become Nagumo Miyabi's subordinates? Could it be that they were scared into submission by him in just one year? That thought is too absurd, even faster than the French surrender."

It wasn't until later, when he saw Nagumo Miyabi showing a threatening expression toward a student and taking out his phone to play recordings and videos, that Shangguan Che suddenly realized: "So there's a threat angle too? This school is practically a spy drama!"

Thinking of this, Shangguan Che couldn't help but touch his chin and mutter to himself: "Do I have any dirt on me?"

He thought carefully and shook his head.

As a transmigrator from another world, he was almost "invincible" in this world, unless he ran his mouth and exposed his secrets, but Shangguan Che wasn't stupid.
