In Classroom of the Elite, but in the Underworld Chapter 33

"Airi, let me take you somewhere fun."

"Okay... wait, eh? What is this?"

As Airi exclaimed in surprise, he swept her up into his arms in a bridal carry.

He then activated his ability to slow down time by a factor of ten.

With a single small leap, he covered a distance of ten meters.

He wove through the island like a ghost, eventually arriving at the shoreline.

But he didn't stop; mobilizing every bone and muscle in his body, he surged toward the surface of the sea, bolstered by his superpower.

"Mm... so fast..."

Airi pressed her hands tightly against her chest, her heart pounding wildly. Her eyes were squeezed shut against the rushing wind.

The seawater did not impede his progress; it felt like solid ground beneath his feet, with only splashes of water erupting where his steps landed.

For the first time, Eito felt his spirits soar, the scenery before him flashing by like a slide show.

Yes, with his physical strength combined with the ten-fold time dilation, his running speed had already exceeded 100m/s. At such a velocity, according to the law of conservation of momentum, he was more than capable of walking on the surface of the sea.

The distance to his target, the cruise ship, closed rapidly.

The current limit for his ability was four minutes, but that was more than enough time.

Using his final point of leverage to spring forward, he vaulted onto the cruise ship in a few strides.

He reached a secluded area and set Airi down.

Once her feet touched the deck, Airi looked incredibly excited, tugging at Eito's clothes:

"Eito, are you a superhero?"

"That's right, I'm a superhero sent by the heavens to save Airi."

"Mm, you're lying."

Airi turned her head away; she wasn't a fool like Yamauchi.

He leaned in close to Airi and whispered:

"Only you know about this, Airi, so you must never tell anyone else."

"Mm-hmm... but."

Airi suddenly lowered her head again, her expression turning somewhat dejected.

"What's wrong?"

"Um... it's nothing."

Eito reached out and stroked her hair.

Although this girl possessed a unique charm, she lacked self-confidence.

Her personality was the exact opposite of Suzune's; she always viewed everything from a negative perspective.

She always blamed herself for every mistake.

She only ever hurt herself and would never dream of hurting others.

It was a personality that was both frustrating and heartbreaking.

"Airi, where is your room?"

"Eh... oh, it's over there."

"Take me there."

To avoid running into anyone on the ship, he activated his superpower, moving toward their destination while dodging security cameras.

Finally, they arrived at Airi's room.

This room was shared by several girls.

According to the information he had gathered, one of them was actually Kikyo.

"Airi, come here."

"But... this is Kushida-san's..."

"It's fine, she won't mind."

"Oh."

Airi nodded and walked over.

If Kikyo knew what he was about to do, she wouldn't just mind—she would kill him.

However, he didn't care. Since she was always causing him trouble, and he wasn't a masochist, he had to pay her back.

Let's just hurt each other.

As if sensing what was about to be done to her, Airi walked over step by step, not daring to look him in the eye.

Once Airi arrived at his side, he pushed the girl onto the bed with a hint of force.

He sat on the edge of the bed, placing his hand on her smooth legs and stroking them gently.

"Airi, you are so beautiful."

"...Mmph."

"Can you let me see all of you?"

"...Mm."

He did not know how much time had passed.

When Eito opened his eyes, Airi was lying in his arms.

Her voluptuous figure was completely hidden beneath the quilt covering her, and only he could truly appreciate the beauty of that body.

He withdrew the hand that had been moving over the girl and stood up to glance outside.

Outside the window, it was pitch black, with only the bright moon hanging in the sky like a faint candle, igniting the surrounding darkness.

The cruise ship was very quiet.

He looked at the water below, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

A robust figure was gliding across the surface of the sea.

That agile posture, without a doubt, was Koenji.

Perhaps it was sheer luck; while the other party was moving with ease, he happened to look in this direction, met his eyes, and even waved a hand at him.

"..."

He closed the window.

His movements woke Airi. She looked up at his face, then shyly burrowed back into the quilt, leaving only half an eye exposed, watching him intently.

"What's wrong?"

"Just now, we..."

"Yes, from now on, everything that belongs to Airi is mine."

"..."

"What is it again?"

"Actually, on the internet... that..." Airi said hesitantly, her face showing signs of nervousness.

"Mm, I know." Eito hugged her body tightly, feeling her warmth. "But can you only show it to me from now on? Otherwise, I'll get jealous."

"Mm-hmm."

Airi smiled sweetly.

The last heavy stone weighing on her heart had finally been lifted.

Afterward, the two of them fell back asleep.

However, as they slept, a faint scent of Kikyo drifted from the quilt, leaving him with a subtle feeling.

At 4:00 AM, he woke up early.

He had a few things to tell Airi.

"Airi, just stay on the ship for now. I'm going back by myself."

"Why?"

Airi hugged his arm tightly, a trace of reluctance on her face.

"Be a good girl and listen, okay? I'll come back to see you tonight."

"Alright then."

Hearing this, Airi blushed slightly. Coming back to see her tonight—did that mean they would do that kind of thing again?

She did not ask for the reason.

This was Airi's strength; she was as obedient as a baby.

As for the real reason.

In truth, life on the island was indeed a bit too harsh for Airi, and since she didn't have any particularly close friends, staying on the ship was much easier for her.

Besides, he couldn't stay with her forever; he still wanted to go find Ryuen to have some fun.

So, after settling Airi in, he quietly returned to his tent under the cover of darkness.

Chapter 43: The Two Who Were Absent

When he returned to the tent, although his movements were light, he was still discovered.

It was only natural that he had been discovered, since he hadn't been there the entire night.

Ike, who slept next to him, stared at him with the eyes of someone looking at a suspect:

"Where did you go? Don't tell me you went off to have a secret tryst with a woman."

He said indifferently:

"Yes, not only did I have a tryst, I even went all the way."

"Hey, hey, you're lying, right?" Ike shook his shoulders in disbelief. "How could you betray our Virgin Alliance?"

There was actually such an alliance; how pathetic.

He rested his chin on his hand and sighed.

Ike: "What's with that expression? Are you pitying me? What, are virgins supposed to be looked down upon? Let me tell you, in this world, virgin men are more popular with girls. Someone like you is just a male slut in the eyes of girls."

Ike was right; the younger they were, the more popular these men were, especially the shota types.

However, that had nothing to do with him.

"Ike, regardless of whether it's popular or not, I just think you're pathetic. Sigh, for a popular man like me, it's too hard to keep my virginity. By comparison, Ike, you have it so easy; you never have to worry about it for your entire life."

"Damn it, you guy, I'm going to kill you! Take this!"

Slap!
