Appearance: 7 Mental strength: 6 Comprehension: 6 Strength: 4 Agility: 4 Constitution: 5 Luck: 5 Trait: Wallflower (if you win her over, you can hide yourself more effectively).]
Come to think of it, Himeno Yuki's trait was pretty unusual.
At the very least, he was sorely lacking in abilities that could help him conceal his strength.
After all, playing the fool to catch your opponent off guard wasn't just a great way to show off—it also helped keep you out of your enemies' sights.
"Underhanded? Hmph."
Ye Yunchuan gave a cold laugh. After glancing at Himeno Yuki, he said:
"What's wrong with being underhanded in a world like this? Besides, if I weren't underhanded, how could I protect a beautiful little thing like you?"
"..." Ye Yunchuan really was shameless. Even the sharp-tongued Himeno Yuki was left speechless by his brazen attitude.
"Not saying anything because you think I'm right?"
As he spoke, Ye Yunchuan couldn't help leaning closer to Himeno Yuki.
Caught off guard when Ye Yunchuan suddenly moved closer, Himeno Yuki's face flushed red.
"Y-you, why are you suddenly getting so close?!"
"Now that I'm looking closely, you're pretty cute. Especially those twin tails—you're exactly my type!"
Ye Yunchuan didn't hide what he was thinking. He said it outright.
"Y-you, stop saying things that make people blush!"
"What? Have you fallen for me? Then you'll have to work hard. I've got plenty of women already, so you'll have to be proactive and try to get pregnant with my child soon."
"Ugh, y-you... How can you say something like that without feeling embarrassed?"
Seeing just how shameless Ye Yunchuan was, Himeno Yuki felt both embarrassed and angry.
Looking at her bright-red face, Ye Yunchuan couldn't help laughing. Teasing the girl was pretty fun, after all.
Chapter 45: Arisu's Advice
"Himeno, I'm so glad you're all right!"
When she saw Ye Yunchuan carrying Himeno Yuki down the stairs, Ichinose Honami immediately rushed over.
"Hey, stop carrying me and put me down already!"
With so many people watching, Himeno Yuki, who was usually rather shy, was terribly embarrassed.
"Quiet." Ye Yunchuan shot her a sharp look.
At once, Himeno Yuki quieted down.
"She's hurt. Have someone treat her wounds."
After briefly bandaging Himeno Yuki, Ye Yunchuan asked Ichinose Honami to gather everyone from Class B.
"Ichinose, did you call us all here for something?"
"It's like this..."
Ichinose was deeply conflicted. Announcing that Class B would now be under Ye Yunchuan's rule wasn't easy for her.
"I'll say it myself!"
Seeing how hesitant she was, Ye Yunchuan stepped forward. ,,,,
"I'm Ye Yunchuan from Class 1-D. From now on, I'll rule over Class B. I, Ye Yunchuan, will be your one and only king!"
His words immediately caused an uproar among the Class B students.
"Isn't Ichinose our leader? Why should you be king?"
"Yeah, we only recognize Ichinose. We won't accept some king."
"Right! We only want Ichinose!"
Ye Yunchuan had expected the Class B students to resist, but he hadn't expected such a fierce reaction.
He also hadn't expected that Ichinose, who seemed so timid on the surface, would be so popular in Class B.
"So none of you accept me?"
Ye Yunchuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"You..."
The killing intent Ye Yunchuan released clearly startled the Class B students.
Everyone instinctively took a step back.
"Yeah, we don't accept you. So what?"
Realizing they'd flinched, the Class B students below gradually grew bolder when they saw how many people were around them.
"By rights, I could have my men beat you all up. I have far more people than you do. But if I did that, you'd never accept it."
Ye Yunchuan glanced down at them and sneered.
"If anyone doesn't accept me, step forward. I can take you all on at once!"
"Is he serious? He wants to fight all of us by himself?"
"Doesn't look like he's joking."
Although the Sprinters' attack had cost them some people, Class B had started helping one another from the very beginning. As a result, they still had more students than any of the other classes.
Even after losing some people, they still had over thirty.
"Everyone, don't fight! The leadership should go to Yunchuan. We were only saved because he came to help!"
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Ichinose Honami hurried forward to mediate.
"No! We can't trust him!"
As members of the same class, they knew Ichinose like the back of their hands.
Her leadership skills aside, Ichinose Honami would never abandon her classmates when they were in trouble.
There was no telling whether Ye Yunchuan would treat them the same way if he led them.
"Oh, girls can join in too. As long as you don't mind getting beaten, I don't mind."
Ye Yunchuan didn't take the off-ramp Ichinose Honami had offered. In fact, he even taunted them.
"Hmph, don't underestimate us! Even if only the boys fight, we can beat you with one spit each!"
Naturally, the boys in Class B were furious at being looked down on like that.
"If that's the case, then stop wasting time and come at me.
If you beat me, you can have Ichinose keep leading you—or you can have her turn things around and lead me. I'll leave it up to you. But if I knock you all flat, then you'll accept my rule!"
"I don't believe you can beat so many of us! Everyone, get him! Let's teach this arrogant idiot a lesson!"
With that, the Class B students charged at Ye Yunchuan.
Ten minutes later, the good little students of Class B lay sprawled on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen.
"Well? Do you accept it now?"
Ye Yunchuan stood with his hands in his pockets, one foot planted on the face of the last boy.
"..."
The boys of Class B fell silent.
They would never have believed that more than ten of them couldn't beat Ye Yunchuan—and that they'd lose so badly.
"Wow, he's incredible. Isn't he a little too strong?"
Ibuki Mio couldn't help taking a deep breath.
The students of Class B were well-behaved, but that didn't mean they couldn't fight.
Even a martial arts expert would struggle to fend off more than ten people attacking at once.
And Ye Yunchuan's hands had stayed in his pockets the whole time. He hadn't even thrown a punch.
That showed just how terrifyingly strong he was.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ye Yunchuan was the strongest person she had ever met.
"I finally got this lot under control."
After beating the Class B students into submission, Ye Yunchuan let out a sigh of relief.
Why hadn't he just used Sakayanagi Arisu's ability to control these unruly people right away?
Ye Yunchuan had his reasons.
Sakayanagi Arisu's ability could control those who refused to obey.
But Ye Yunchuan didn't want a bunch of puppets.
The main reason he valued the Class B students so highly was that they were all well-behaved.
And well-behaved students were the easiest to manage.
As for their abilities—
Ye Yunchuan didn't think the students in Class B were any less capable than the others.
They only failed to compete with the other classes because they were too well-behaved.
"Are you planning to train them as your core members?"
Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly came over to Ye Yunchuan.
Most people thought Ye Yunchuan was just showing off, but Sakayanagi Arisu was the only one who saw what he was really up to.
"What, have you got your eye on them too?"
Ye Yunchuan gave her a playful look.
"I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare try to steal your people, Your Majesty."
Sakayanagi Arisu pretended to cower.
"How bold of you, mocking me like that!"
Ye Yunchuan pulled Sakayanagi Arisu over and sat her on his lap.
He held her against his chest and toyed with her like a doll.
"Don't do that. Everyone's watching."
Caught off guard by the sudden move, Sakayanagi Arisu soon regained her poise and composure.
Sakayanagi Arisu's petite, soft body felt pretty comfortable in his arms.
But to keep her from getting angry, Ye Yunchuan stopped groping her after a few moments.
After quietly making Sakayanagi Arisu place Mental Imprints on everyone, Ye Yunchuan started talking with her. ,,,,
"Arisu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Yunchuan, your plan is to use Academy Island as a base and expand outwards, right? But have you considered that Academy Island has one fatal weakness?"
"What weakness?" Ye Yunchuan raised an eyebrow.
"Water!" ```
