Chapter 128
I read online that sweet talk from boys is the most dangerous thing.
But if it's Aragaki -kun, I probably shouldn't be fooled by his efforts and intentions, right?
Seeing the girl's eyes growing increasingly dreamy, Aragaki Shun gently blew a breath on her jade-like neck, and she naturally began to cooperate.
The two cuddled together for over ten minutes until Kushida Kikyo showed signs of waking up again, at which point they slowly stopped on the verge of losing control.
Then--
As soon as she opened her eyes and looked around, she found nothing, just like when she woke up last time. Kushida Kikyo, feeling uneasy, was about to leave quickly, but after taking only two steps, she fell into a coma for the third time.
Aragaki Shun had trained specifically for this purpose; his level 4 Combat skills were already the limit that a normal person could reach through training. Combined with his intuitive abilities, he ensured that Kushida Kikyo would only faint and not suffer more serious injuries.
After thinking for a moment, the Leader of Class A simply dragged the brown-haired girl back to where she was, as if nothing had happened.
"I seem to have forgotten to ask. I was bothered by Kushida, but what brought you to the stern so late at night, Miki?"
Seeing that Aragaki Shun had finished his work, he suddenly asked this question. Yamamura Miki, who had instinctively brought her legs together, breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes, which were full of tears, showed an expression that was hard to tell whether it was regret or relief.
"When everyone in the class got together before, Koenji wanted everyone to sign a contract so that the current Class B could be completely unified."
"I feel a little uneasy. Although the promise is good, Koenji's fighting spirit is too strong. If I sign that, will I not be able to email Aragaki anymore?"
Yamamura herself didn't care whether she could be promoted to Class A. After all, even if she received the school's recommendation, given her situation, the girl didn't know what she would do in the future.
But if the class is truly unified, and everyone works together towards a common goal, wouldn't it be a bit wrong for her to choose to become a traitor to the class?
If possible, she also hopes the atmosphere in the class can be better.
However, she didn't want to lose contact with Aragaki -san just like that; he was one of the few people who would exchange emails with her before going to bed.
As she hesitated, Yamamura Miki suddenly realized that the class meeting had ended and she had been forgotten once again.
Feeling down, the girl went to the stern deck to get some fresh air, but she never expected to encounter such a strange thing.
"I see," Aragaki Shun nodded, understanding the girl's situation, and simply made the decision for her, "How about this, I'll help Miki transfer to Class A later, you should prepare yourself mentally."
"Huh?"
"Don't refuse, I want Miki to come to my side."
The girl's face flushed red instantly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the bad man.
"I... I understand..."
The transfer fee is twenty million. Is someone like me worth paying that much?
But judging from this, Aragaki seems to be serious; he really wants to hold on to me.
After all, the girl was self-aware enough that if the other party only wanted to deceive her feelings, it would be easy for them to do so without having to invest such a high cost.
Admiring the blush on the girl's delicate face, a few more minutes passed.
This time, however, Kushida Kikyo woke up faster than ever before, as if she had just had a nightmare.
She had just climbed up from the deck, not even daring to look around, and hurriedly ran outside.
As they were about to leave the stern, the brown-haired girl's eyes blazed with hope, thinking she could finally escape this strange situation. Suddenly, the familiar dizziness returned.
What exactly happened?
Before he could voice his doubts, Aragaki Shun dragged Kushida had been knocked unconscious for the fourth time, back to where he stood.
"Aragaki..."
Seeing Yamamura Miki's hesitant expression, the boy simply waved his hand and said directly:
"I was just trying to scare her. Now that she's more skilled, Kushida should wake up faster, and this will be over soon."
As expected, the unconsciousness only lasted five minutes. When Kushida Kikyo woke up, she didn't try to run away; instead, she began shouting and screaming with a ferocious expression:
"Aragaki Shun, is that you...?"
Ignoring her, the Leader of Class A calmly granted her her fifth experience of being unconscious.
Then came the sixth, seventh, eighth, and even ninth time.
During this time, Kushida either screamed, shouted "A ghost!", punched and kicked his surroundings, or tried to operate his phone, using every method he could think of.
However, all of this was to no avail. Aragaki Shun simply transformed into a master of stunning, confining all commotion to this quiet area.
Finally, after waking up from her ninth coma, the girl simply collapsed on the deck, wanting to do nothing and say nothing.
She stared blankly at the night sky, seemingly completely worn out.
198. The most important reinforcement; the second Special Exam begins.
Seeing how badly Kushida Kikyo was being played with, Aragaki Shun instinctively didn't sense anything unusual, so he and Yamamura Miki walked up to her.
Her faint presence dissipated naturally. The brown-haired girl looked at the man and woman who had suddenly appeared in front of her, opened her mouth, and then, without saying anything, naturally fainted.
Aragaki Shun: "..."
Under the unbearable gaze of the Little Transparent student, the Leader of Class A's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but explain, "This time I didn't do it; she fainted on her own."
Perhaps after being knocked unconscious so many times, Kushida's body had instinctively become accustomed to the corresponding changes?
In short, whatever the reason, he really didn't take action this time.
"I believe in Aragaki -kun," Yamamura Miki's gaze shifted erratically, then she asked, "But what should we do next?"
"Don't worry, just wake Kushida up and let her go back to sleep."
With a casual reply, Aragaki Shun crouched down and patted the brown-haired girl's cheek, waiting for her to open her numb, lifeless eyes once more—
"Listen to me, it's already evening, Kushida, you should go back and rest."
"Also, please remember this fear, and be sure to use the correct methods to communicate with me in the future."
The indifferent voice sounded like a demon's murmur from the depths of the night sky, and the 13-point mental attribute began to take effect.
This is why he previously gave up on directly enhancing his hypnosis skills.
Hypnosis that can truly make someone obey orders requires at least level 6 to be mastered and one must enter the Transcendent Realm.
Before this, even if normal hypnosis skills were upgraded to level 5, they could only perform some suggestions and guidance.
Out of curiosity, he had previously learned about this subject.
With the exceptional learning ability granted by [Erudition], and the ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, if his skills in this area were to solidify, his initial level would likely be around lv.2.
Not to mention, with the enhancement of his mental attributes, even without strengthening the corresponding skills, he can naturally influence others with his own will.
In this situation, since hypnotic skills cannot undergo a qualitative change, deliberately solidifying them would be truly pointless.
If Aragaki Shun's guess is correct, as long as the school doesn't deliberately change the plan, there will be another Special Exam on the cruise ship later.
After this exam is over, he might be able to gather enough Source Power to condense [Sun Kin].
Even if his estimate is slightly off, he should be able to achieve his goal by next month at the latest.
In short, let's avoid unnecessary waste.
Kushida Kikyo is just a little annoyed; there's no need to change plans or delay your own growth because of her.
Staggering to her feet from the deck, the brown-haired girl glanced fearfully at Aragaki Shun, then, as if terrified, ran off in a disheveled manner.
Soon, Kushida's figure had completely disappeared, and Yamamura Miki looked somewhat worried about it.
"Isn't there a problem? What if she appeals to the school and accuses us of bullying?"
"How dare they falsely accuse their Vice President to the Student Council without any evidence?"
Aragaki Shun first asked indifferently, then whispered, "Besides, she might not even have the guts now."
It should be noted that, given his current mental attributes, if he goes all out, he can even briefly influence Ryuen Kakeru.
Kushida Kikyo's obsession might not be any less than Ryuen's, but Aragaki Shun didn't expect to do anything more; he simply guided her to remember the fear of today.
In a deliberately created atmosphere of terror, after being knocked unconscious nine times in a row, the body began to exhibit corresponding instincts.
He refused to believe that after such an ordeal, the other party would dare to cause him any more trouble.
If that were to happen, he would have no choice but to expel the student and simply avoid seeing or hearing about it.
"Never mind her, we have more important things to do now."
Holding Yamamura Miki in his arms, Aragaki Shun -smile:
"Hehe~ Miki, you seem to be nearing your limit. You were holding on to me the whole time before, not letting me let go."
"Ah~" In an instant, Kushida Kikyo was forgotten. Yamamura Miki pressed her head against the man's chest, too shy to look up. "It's all Aragaki -kun's fault, teasing me again and again..."
Hearing the girl's deeply resentful whisper, Aragaki Shun laughed heartily, picked her up, and strode towards their lodgings.
Actively activating [Abnormal Neglect] seems to have a synergistic effect with Miki's naturally low presence.
Along the way, the two occasionally encountered students who hadn't gone to bed yet and were wandering around, but even if they passed right in front of them, they wouldn't be noticed.
Back in the room rented using Private Points, Chihiro was already asleep in the bedroom, perhaps because she had exhausted too much energy during the Uninhabited Island Exam.
In order not to wake her up, Aragaki Shun and simply pressed Miki down on the sofa in the living room.
"Can't wait any longer?" Sensing the girl's slightly trembling gaze, Aragaki Shun teased, "You'd better change out of these soaking wet clothes. Let's take a shower together later."
Yamamura Miki didn't speak, but kept covering her face with her hands, as if this self-deception could eliminate her inner shyness.
I chuckled; this Little Transparent was just too easy to understand.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you have sweet dreams."
Accompanied by the man's teasing laughter, Yamamura Miki felt her body becoming lighter and heavier at the same time.
But she could do nothing, and wanted to do nothing, so she was just manipulated by others.
From the living room to the bathroom and back to the living room, it felt like we had changed battlefields again along the way.
I don't know when it started, but it seems like another comrade-in-arms joined her, imparting more practical knowledge to her.
In the very end, time lost its meaning, and the girl even forgot where she had fallen asleep.
The only thing I'm sure of is that I did have a wonderful dream that night.
Having just finished their survival trip on Uninhabited Island, the school seems to have had a change of heart and is preparing to give the students some time to rest and play, instead of immediately continuing with the next Special Exam.
After spending three days in this uneventful vacation, the first-year students gradually let down their guard and happily enjoyed the experience of traveling on Luxury Cruise Ship.
After all, the Uninhabited Island Exam was a precedent, and many people were worried that the school would launch another surprise attack. This left them completely uncertain and on guard against a possible second Special Exam.
But now three days have passed, and the school still hasn't given any other instructions. It's as if the cruise trip will proceed as normal, and everyone can finally relax and enjoy the unique experiences.
Unlike the others who were filled with anxiety, Aragaki Shun had a very pleasant three days because he was confident in facing any challenge.
After that night's dream, Yamamura Miki woke up the next day to find herself lying on her bed in her bedroom, with Aragaki's girlfriend, who was ostensibly his girlfriend, propping her chin up and looking at her with a strange expression.
That scene really startled the shy, Little Transparent.
Fortunately, just as Aragaki- kun said, Shiranami Chihiro, despite the overwhelming pressure, upheld her responsibility as a girlfriend and took such matters in stride.
To be honest, the two of them were teammates working together to challenge the Demon King last night.
Unfortunately, on the Uninhabited Island, Chihiro and Xiao Mei proved time and again that a simple duo was meaningless.
Even if Miki joins now, making it a trio, it will only make Aragaki Shun more entertained; it's still far from enough to win him over.
It must be mentioned that Miki's lack of presence is truly absurd.
The girl, who was just entering a new world, showed her clingy side and moved into Aragaki Shun's room.
Three days have passed, and there's still no response from Class B. They haven't sent anyone to look for them, nor have they even sent an email.
No wonder Little Transparent; she has absolutely no presence in the class, and even if she disappears for several days, nobody cares.
Of course, Yamamura Miki was not surprised by this. It was precisely because she knew that no one in Class B would worry about her whereabouts that the girl could stick to her boyfriend's side without any worries.
Even though Aragaki always does really bad things to her, he really does have feelings for her...
"Um... Aragaki-kun... I... I want to go back to my own place today... Could you let Xiao Mei and Chihiro keep you company...?"
"Huh? Miki just dumped me like that? So you're the kind of bad woman who dumps her lover after only a few days of dating?"
On the deck at the stern, feeling the sea breeze on her face, Yamamura Miki bent over and leaned on the railing with both hands, letting out a reproachful, coquettish sound.
