[System, I choose B!]

The sleazy clerk was still saying to Sakura, "Listen here, you'd better not resist. If you dare to resist, I'll post your true face all over the major websites."

The sleazy clerk suddenly went frantic, "Why, why are you looking at me with those eyes? Don't look at me like that!"

Sakura, meanwhile, struggled desperately, "No, no! Let go of me! Let me go, quickly..."

Just as the lecherous clerk reached his hand toward Sakura's chest, a sudden gust of wind swept past!

Zhuge Linghao's face was flushed red, the veins on his neck standing out clearly. He bared his teeth and snarled, putting every ounce of his strength into a mad dash toward the sleazy clerk and Sakura Airi.

Unable to contain his rage, Zhuge Linghao punched the sleazy clerk every time he passed by, effectively adding his own flair to the situation.

Zhuge Linghao not only made the sleazy clerk howl in pain but also successfully scared him into impotence. With a final move from Zhuge Linghao, the clerk clutched his crotch and collapsed to the ground, unable to get back up.

After completing his task, Zhuge Linghao felt refreshed. He said to the sleazy clerk, "An electronics store employee acting like a hooligan toward a high school girl—tomorrow you'll be on television and in all the major newspapers. You could say you've become 'famous overnight'."

The sleazy clerk ignored the pain and hurriedly denied it, "No, I didn't!!"

Zhuge Linghao mocked him without mercy, "I think your brain really isn't working right. Look up—that security camera caught everything clearly! Your future is gone! Even though it was an attempted assault, you'll still be criminally prosecuted and rot in jail. Those media outlets that smell blood will probably run to your hometown to greet your family and friends, too, right?"

Zhuge Linghao stuffed his hands into his pockets and looked down at the man, "Hehe, your life is over!"

Seeing that the sleazy clerk still wanted to run, Zhuge Linghao used a heavy-weight takedown to pin him down. He asked Sakura with concern, "Sakura, are you okay? Do you still have the strength? Could you please call the police?"

Sakura, who hadn't fully recovered from the shock, snapped back to reality upon hearing Zhuge Linghao's words. She quickly picked up her phone from the ground and said with a determined look, "I'm fine, I'm calling the police right now!"

While waiting for the police to arrive, the sleazy clerk continued to struggle, "You have no right to interfere with my happiness! We are a fated pair. I am Shizuku's fan, and Shizuku knows it too. I comment on her posts every day; her blog is updated just for me! Let me go! The entire meaning of my life is Shizuku!"

The sleazy clerk's words made Zhuge Linghao laugh; this was definitely the most ridiculous reason he had ever heard.

[In the end, it's just the wishful thinking and self-delusion of a fat pig.]

This also reflected the current state of certain obsessive fans.

Seeing that he still wouldn't behave, Zhuge Linghao gave the back of his head a few more knocks.

Yo! His head was quite hard! It actually made Zhuge Linghao's hand hurt!

Sakura Airi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly unleashed a fatal blow: "Enough! I don't have a fan like you. Please stop pestering me!"

The sleazy clerk suddenly looked like a dead fish, as if he had lost his dreams, then became frantically agitated, "Ugly freak, you actually dared to lie to me! Say something, you ugly freak! How could I possibly like an ugly freak like you? Damn it!"

How could Zhuge Linghao endure this? [Insulting my classmate right in front of me? Are you looking for death?]

Zhuge Linghao leaned directly into the sleazy clerk's ear and started rapping wildly: "You're the ugly freak, your whole family is full of ugly freaks. Ugly freak, can you not turn on the lights? The love I want appears on a pitch-black stage. Ugly freak, in this ambiguous era, my existence is no surprise. Ugly freak, actually, once you see enough, it's no longer strange. Go wild, step hard, on that fragile purity..."

Getting into the rhythm, Zhuge Linghao started singing Xue Zhiqian's Ugly Freak. Regardless of whether the guy understood it or not, he was going to vent his anger first.

After the police took the sleazy clerk away, Sakura Airi spoke cautiously, "Zhu... Zhuge-kun, thank you for saving me. I can't imagine how serious the consequences would have been if you hadn't been there..."

Zhuge Linghao waved his hand, "No need to thank me. I've said it before: if you have trouble, come to us for help. We will definitely do our duty."

Sakura Airi wiped her tears, looking discouraged, "I'm... 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 is born a powerhouse! Besides, isn't summer vacation coming up? Why not make good use of that time to become stronger?"

Sakura stared blankly at Zhuge Linghao, and then she bravely took off her decorative glasses and said, "Yes, wearing a mask all the time and being held back really makes it hard to improve!"

The red-haired, twin-tailed, busty beauty Sakura Airi bowed her head again to thank him, "Thank you, Zhuge-kun! I think I've figured some things out."

Zhuge Linghao waved his hands, "Oh, oh! You don't need to thank me, I didn't really do anything! But if you have any worries or trouble in the future, feel free to ask me for help anytime."

Sakura looked into Zhuge Linghao's eyes and said, "As expected, your eyes are still so clear and pure."

It was the first time Zhuge Linghao had heard such an evaluation, and he agreed with it wholeheartedly in his heart.

[Ah, yes, yes, yes. I am extremely kind, extremely pure, and an extremely big pushover!]

Over on the rooftop, Chabashira-sensei had called Horikita Suzune over.

Chabashira-sensei puffed on her cigarette and said, "I'll get straight to the point. How much do you know about Zhuge and Ayanokoji?"

Horikita replied seriously, "How should I put it? Both of them are talented."

Chabashira Sae said, "Is that all the evaluation you have? Forget it, let's change the subject."

Chabashira Sae turned back and said, "If you want to be promoted to Class A, I have a piece of advice for you: take this opportunity to learn more about these two, Zhuge and Ayanokoji, otherwise it will be too late to regret it later."

Horikita asked, confused, "Sensei, what do you mean?"

A light breeze blew Chabashira Sae's ponytail, and she asked, "Why would Zhuge and Ayanokoji help you get to Class A? They are clearly so capable, yet they hide their strength?"

Horikita was stunned, unable to respond.

To be honest, she hadn't really thought about this question seriously.

Chabashira Sae continued, "In this school, Class D is the place where defective students are gathered."

"And the two biggest, most serious defects among them are Zhuge Linghao and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."

If Zhuge had heard this, he would definitely have jumped up to argue, [Hey, hey, hey, Chabashira-sensei, you must not lump me in with Ayanokoji! I'm just an ordinary, average person! I'm not some defect; I just ended up here by pure coincidence...]
