In the Face of Sexiness, Cuteness Is Worthless

"Suzune, have you come to terms with being assigned to Class D... no, Class A now? Even after receiving uncertain information from me earlier, your current behavior is completely unlike you."

"Is that so? What should I look like in your eyes?"

Just like in the original story, clamoring to argue with the school administration? No, at the very least, she should be complaining to Teacher Chabashira. Yet, she showed absolutely no sign of that just now. Of course, Ju Ji couldn't possibly say that out loud. That would be pure suicide.

"I suppose you would be a bit more aggressive."

Ju Ji said, sounding a bit uncertain. This was the most tactful phrasing he could find in his limited vocabulary.

"If it were the old me, that would indeed be the case. But since someone as excellent as you was assigned to Class D, doesn't that prove the school's judgment is flawed? And I believe that with your help, we will never remain at this level."

Hmm, Suzune seems to have evaluated Ju Ji a bit too highly. The fact that Class D was able to successfully promote to Class C this time involved far too many factors of luck. Whether it was the unexpected cooperation of Sudo and Koenji, or the class students agreeing to implement this study plan under the persuasion of Hirata and Kikyo.

These were all uncertain factors; if even one had failed to materialize, they could never have reached today's result. This was just a gamble, and he simply happened to win.

However, this success did give him some influence within the class. By the way, after this period of effort, his skill Hypnosis Lv1 has become Hypnosis Lv2. It now possesses a twenty percent success rate for hypnosis, and the suggestive effect has been strengthened. The other two skills remain at Lv1 because he hasn't used them much.

"Shinomiya, for what purpose did you enter this school? Further education? Or employment?"

"I came to this school because of my uncle's recommendation. If I had to say, it would be for further education."

One proof of Ju Ji's rising reputation in the class was that he finally managed to talk to Wang Meiyu, who sat next to him. Big eyes, a petite and cute physique, plus the dark blue twin-tails that accentuated her cuteness, she could be considered the favorite of those with specific tastes.

However, as seatmates, the fact that it took so long to successfully strike up a conversation meant that, in a sense, both of their social skills were quite weak.

But Wang Meiyu seems to have a pretty good relationship with Kikyo; one could often see them going out together. Although Kikyo has a good relationship with everyone, so that couldn't be used as a standard for reference.

"Come to think of it, is Wang Meiyu from China? Why did you come to this school?"

"Is this Chinese? Shinomiya, you can actually speak it so fluently. That's amazing. Are you interested in China?"

"Of course, I have always liked Chinese culture. For example, Zhuge Kongming and the like."

Ju Ji grew up in China in his previous life, so for him, this was his first mother tongue; how could he not be fluent? If the conditions allowed, he could even rattle off a bunch of profanities.

"I see, that's really great. I came to Japan because of my father's work. The reason I entered this school is also because of its high rate of advancement to higher education. I didn't expect such things to happen."

Perhaps due to the regional bonus, Wang Meiyu is actually quite cute. However, the appearance of the girls in the class is actually quite high; could this also be due to Ayanokoji's protagonist halo?

Hmm, being able to have a back-and-forth conversation on the first try is already a big improvement for Ju Ji. Although the conversation ended later because the topic was interrupted.

"Are you really that happy just because you talked to a girl? How pathetic."

"Suzune, don't underestimate this conversation. After doing it a few times, maybe we can become friends. This is a good start. Why don't you try talking to people in the class too?"

"No, there is no need. I don't want to get on good terms with them."

At this moment, Ju Ji was like an unemployed person who had finally found a job, eager to show off. Unfortunately, Suzune didn't buy it, and Ju Ji felt as if he had punched a piece of cotton. It appeared exceptionally powerless.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, Suzune seemed to be copying something onto a piece of paper.

"I am listing all the places where points might be deducted. This way, we can effectively prevent the loss of points. In a situation where we cannot earn points, this is the best measure."

Being late, talking in class. These kinds of things are unavoidable. Their class previously had four hundred points deducted for these very reasons.

"If I'm not mistaken, the next event where we can earn a large number of points is the midterm exam. The school shouldn't allow Class A to pull away a huge point gap from the very beginning. Otherwise, there would be no point in competing."

"A guess? What you said last time was also a guess. And yet, everything you said came true. Honestly, are you really not the illegitimate son of the school's chairman or something?"

"No, if I were the chairman's illegitimate son, I wouldn't be here."

Suzune's suspicion is not unreasonable. How he obtained this information—the reasons he gave earlier—were, to be honest, a bit far-fetched. After all, he only fabricated the reasons after knowing the answers.

Plus, he is not some genius, so it is only natural that there are loopholes in his logic. It is understandable that he would arouse the suspicion of some smart people.

What Suzune doesn't know is that there are indeed people with connections in this academy. One is Ayanokoji; he is the child of the chairman, and even his recommendation for admission was handled by him personally. The second is his daughter, Sakayanagi Arisu, who is the true genius. Coming to this school is just for fun. If someone could conquer her, they would surely be worry-free for life. And she is a legal loli to boot.

But Ju Ji has no interest in her; cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness, and he still prefers them big. Thinking this, Ju Ji couldn't help but glance at Suzune's chest.

"You must be thinking about some boring things!"

Seemingly noticing Ju Ji's gaze, a powerful pressure appeared on Suzune. Although she used a question format, she used a declarative tone. It was clear that she was particularly aware of Ju Ji's true nature.

"How could that be? I was just thinking about how to face the upcoming midterm exam."

"What, do you have any leads?"

"None at all... wait, don't get angry yet. Getting angry is bad for your health, and your breasts will sag because of it... Ouch!"

"I knew you were thinking about something bad!"

An overly panicked explanation only invited more severe sanctions. It's a pity that if Suzune's personality were a little better, she would be an ideal partner. As expected, the little angel Kikyo is cuter... although she is also quite a headache at times.
