[System, I choose B!]
The sleazy shop assistant was still saying to Sakura, "Listen up. You'd better not fight back. If you do, I'll post your true colors all over the internet."
The sleazy shop assistant suddenly went berserk. "Why? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't look at me like that!"
Sakura struggled with all her might. "No! No! Let go of me! Let go of me already..."
Just as the lust-crazed shop assistant reached for Sakura's breasts, a sudden gust of wind swept past!
Zhuge Linghao's face was flushed bright red, the veins on his neck standing out. Gritting his teeth and putting every ounce of strength into it, he took off running toward the sleazy shop assistant and Sakura Airi.
Furious, Zhuge Linghao punched the shop assistant every time he ran past him. Honestly, he was just adding extra drama himself.
Zhuge Linghao didn't just beat the sleazy shop assistant until he yelped. He also scared him so badly that he lost his erection, and Zhuge Linghao's final move left the man clutching his crotch and unable to get back up.
After completing his mission, Zhuge Linghao felt refreshed. He said to the shop assistant, "An electronics store employee harasses a high school girl. Tomorrow, you'll be on TV and in all the major newspapers. You'll be famous overnight!"
The shop assistant ignored his pain and hurriedly denied it. "No, I didn't!!"
Zhuge Linghao mocked him without a shred of courtesy. "I think your brain really isn't working right. Look up. That camera caught everything crystal clear! Your future is over! Even though you didn't go through with it, you'll still face criminal charges and rot in prison. The media, drawn by the scent of a juicy story, will probably head to your hometown and pay your family and friends a visit, too, right?"
With his hands in his pockets, Zhuge Linghao looked down at the man before him. "Hehe. Your life is over!"
Seeing that the shop assistant still wanted to run, Zhuge Linghao immediately pinned him down with a heavy drop. Then he asked Sakura with concern, "Sakura, are you okay? Do you still have the strength? Could you please call the police?"
Sakura had been frozen in shock for a long time. Only when she heard Zhuge Linghao speak did she snap out of it. She quickly picked up her phone from the ground and said with determination, "I'm fine. I'll call the police right now!"
As they waited for the police to arrive, the shop assistant continued struggling and shouting, "You have no right to stand in the way of my happiness! We're destined to be together! I'm Shizuku's fan, and Shizuku knows it. I comment on her posts every day. Her blog updates are for me! Let me go! Shizuku is the whole meaning of my life!"
The shop assistant's speech made Zhuge Linghao laugh. That was definitely the funniest excuse he had ever heard.
[When it came down to it, it was just a fat pig's one-sided affection and delusional fantasy.]
It was also a reflection of the state of certain obsessive fans.
Seeing that the man still wouldn't behave, Zhuge Linghao gave him a few more knocks on the back of the head.
Damn, his head was hard! Zhuge Linghao had hurt his own hand!
After staying silent for a long time, Sakura Airi suddenly delivered a devastating blow. "Enough! I don't want a fan like you. Please stop harassing me!"
The shop assistant suddenly looked like a dead fish, as if he'd lost all hope. Then he flew into a crazed rage. "Ugly freak, how dare you deceive me! Say something, ugly freak! How could I ever like an ugly freak like you? Damn it!"
Zhuge Linghao couldn't stand hearing that. [You're insulting my classmate right in front of me? Are you asking to die?]
Zhuge Linghao leaned right up to the shop assistant's ear and yelled a stream of nonsense at him like a rapper. "You're the ugly freak! Your whole family's ugly! Ugly freak, can you not turn on the lights? The love I want only appears on a pitch-black stage. Ugly freak, in this ambiguous age, my existence is no surprise. Ugly freak, the more you see, the less strange it gets. Go wild, go high, stomp hard on that fragile white..."
Caught up in the moment, Zhuge Linghao started singing Xue Zhiqian's "Ugly Freak." He didn't care whether the man understood the lyrics. He just wanted to enjoy insulting him.
Only after the police took the shop assistant away did Sakura Airi finally speak, choosing her words carefully. "Zhu... Zhuge, thank you for saving me. I can't imagine how serious things would have gotten if you hadn't been there..."
Zhuge Linghao waved a hand. "No need to thank me. I told you before: if you're in trouble, come to us for help. We'll gladly do whatever we can."
Sakura wiped away her tears, looking utterly dejected. "I... I'm sorry. I'm so useless. In the end, I couldn't do anything on my own."
Zhuge Linghao scratched the back of his head and encouraged her. "Don't say that. Not everyone's born strong! Besides, summer vacation is almost here. Why not make good use of that time to get stronger?"
Sakura stared blankly at Zhuge Linghao. Then she bravely removed her decorative glasses and said, "You're right. It's really hard to make progress when you're always wearing a mask and holding yourself back!"
The red-haired, twin-tailed beauty with a generous figure, Sakura Airi, bowed her head again in thanks. "Thank you, Zhuge! I think I've figured some things out."
Zhuge Linghao waved it off. "Oh, you don't need to thank me. I didn't do much! But if anything's bothering you or you run into trouble later, you can always come to me for help."
Sakura looked into Zhuge Linghao's eyes. "As I thought, your eyes are still so clear and kind."
It was the first time Zhuge Linghao had received that kind of praise, and he wholeheartedly agreed with it.
[Oh, absolutely. I'm very kind, very pure, and very much a bleeding heart!]
Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Chabashira-sensei had called Horikita Suzune over.
Chabashira-sensei exhaled a cloud of smoke. "I'll get straight to the point. How much do you know about Zhuge and Ayanokoji?"
Horikita answered seriously. "How should I put it? They're both talented."
Chabashira Sae said, "Is that all you have to say? Never mind. Let's change the subject."
Chabashira Sae turned around. "If you want to advance to Class A, here's my advice: take the chance now to learn more about Zhuge and Ayanokoji. Otherwise, by the time you regret it, it'll be too late."
Horikita asked in confusion, "Teacher, what do you mean?"
The breeze lifted Chabashira Sae's ponytail as she asked, "Why do Zhuge and Ayanokoji want to help you get into Class A? They're clearly very capable, so why do they hide their abilities?"
Horikita froze, unable to answer.
To be honest, she had never given the matter serious thought.
Chabashira Sae continued, "At this school, Class D is where students with flaws are gathered."
"And the two biggest, most serious cases are Zhuge Linghao and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."
If Zhuge had heard that, he would definitely have jumped up to argue: [Hey, hey, hey, Chabashira-sensei, don't lump me together with Ayanokoji! I'm just an ordinary person! I'm no flawed student, either. I just happened to end up here by chance...]
