Classroom of the Elite, Keima Katsuragi's Love Brain Battle

Arisu Sakayanagi frowned, briefly doubting she had heard correctly.

Keima Katsuragi had easily taken down an adult male?

"Are you certain you didn't misread the situation?"

"I am absolutely certain! Although I didn't see the specific process, there was no one else there, unless someone can fly! In less than a minute, that man was knocked down, and even when he was being carried away by security, he was muttering words like 'monster'."

Masumi Kamuro's tone was incredibly urgent; if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine this happening to the weak, powerless gamer she had seen during the day.

"And then?"

"They left immediately with the homeroom teacher of Class D, and I don't know what happened after that."

Arisu Sakayanagi's expression turned somewhat grave.

She had never expected that Keima Katsuragi possessed such strength.

He had bumped into her during the day, and he had actually fainted.

It didn't look like a disguise at all...

Or was it that his disguise had even deceived himself?

Interesting.

This is the first time I've encountered a guy like this.

"Well done, Masumi. We've obtained information that exceeds our expectations. This guy, Keima Katsuragi, possesses combat abilities that exceed his age group."

A smile appeared on Arisu Sakayanagi's face.

"I can basically conclude that the series of events occurring in Class D are all closely related to Keima."

"Then what should we do next?"

"I had originally intended to wait for him to come to us, but that won't work now—Masumi, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip and take the initiative to make contact with that guy~"

"Mm..."

Masumi Kamuro swallowed hard, holding the game cartridge she had stolen from Keima Katsuragi in her hand.

"Besides, it's a good chance to find some amusement. In this school, there is still one more slightly interesting guy. Tell me, if that guy were to find out about this, how do you think he would react?"

"Are you talking about... Kakeru Ryuen?"

On the other side, an exhausted Airi Sakura returned to her dormitory.

She took a hot shower and lay on her bed, and only then did the fatigue of the day dissipate quite a bit.

"Today... I finally did it..."

Airi Sakura hugged her pillow, talking to herself.

Today was truly a super important day for Airi Sakura.

She was called by her first name by Keima Katsuragi.

She also called him by his first name...

And... she even gave him a gift...

She had originally wanted to give a gift to repay a favor, but in the end, she ended up owing even more favors!

However...

If it hadn't been for Keima today...

Whenever Airi Sakura thought about the way Keima Katsuragi had come to save the day, her heart accelerated suddenly, and she buried her face completely into her pillow.

Keima-kun, he looked so handsome like that...

This was the first time she had felt this way about someone.

And this feeling was becoming stronger and stronger.

Airi Sakura took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Come to think of it, Keima, tomorrow, tomorrow he is still going to have coffee with Hiyori-san, right... Why would Hiyori-san suddenly want to go to a coffee shop with Keima..."

Airi Sakura didn't quite understand; in terms of interpersonal relationships, she could be described as a complete tragedy, but driven by curiosity, she opened a search engine.

The first result that popped up made Airi Sakura almost spring up from her bed.

Top 10 Couple Date Spots

[No. 1: Coffee Shop]

"!!!!"

A strange sound escaped from the depths of Airi Sakura's throat.

Volume 1: Chapter 62: Airi Sakura, Attempting to Treat Reality as a Game Walkthrough

A couple's date!

Could it be that Hiyori-san wants to go on a date with Keima-kun!

No, no, that's not right!

Shiina Hiyori and Keima Katsuragi shouldn't have known each other for that long.

They couldn't have developed to that extent yet!

They shouldn't have!

Absolutely not!

Although Airi Sakura told herself this in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more she obsessed over the matter.

What exactly was the relationship between Shiina Hiyori and Keima Katsuragi?

Airi Sakura didn't dislike Shiina Hiyori; in fact, she thought the other girl was a very good person and somewhat similar to herself—

But why on earth did she ask Keima Katsuragi out?

Shiina Hiyori was pretty and gentle, and although she sometimes looked a bit lethargic, she was also more outgoing than Airi herself.

To Keima Katsuragi, what kind of existence was Shiina Hiyori?

The level of Airi Sakura's inner turmoil was rising exponentially!

"No, no, no, Keima-kun and I are just friends, just friends... He and Hiyori are friends too! Also friends! This isn't something I should be worrying about..."

Airi Sakura muttered to herself while taking out her terminal to post a few photos on her blog.

There were quite a few more than usual.

"This way, Keima-kun will be more likely to see my updates..."

Even though she told herself not to care, her thoughts instantly returned to Keima Katsuragi.

Come to think of it...

She needed to understand Keima-kun better!

She had sent the wrong game today, and the situation had been so awkward...

But Keima-kun was truly so gentle; he didn't blame her at all and accepted it very happily.

Earlier, only Keima-kun had noticed her feelings...

He was so handsome today...

No, she couldn't think about that anymore!

Clinging to the idea of needing to understand Keima Katsuragi better, Airi Sakura clicked on Keima Katsuragi's blog, having no intention of hiding her visit record.

"Keima-kun updated his post again... Huh?"

Airi Sakura's gaze was quickly drawn to a paragraph in the post.

[Some people must be curious about how I manage to achieve such a fast conquest speed.]

[To conquer someone, you must know everything about them.]

[No matter the means, you must understand their favorite food, colors, books, movies, and exactly what they do at every minute and second of the day.]

[Not only that, but as the first step of the conquest, you need to appear in front of the other person frequently. Whether it's a good impression or a bad one, making them remember you is more important than anything else.]

[Once the seed is planted, you just need to keep watering it, and it will sprout sooner or later.]

Below the paragraph, he had even attached a schedule for various characters in the game, accurate down to the minute.

This was the core of the conquest strategy that Keima Katsuragi had summarized.

However, these words gave Airi Sakura an epiphany.

"No wonder Keima-kun is so gentle..."

"I... I really don't know enough about Keima-kun..."

"I only know he likes playing games, and that's it. What he likes to eat, drink, what movies he watches, what books he reads, what songs he listens to... I don't know any of these things!"

Airi Sakura clenched her right hand into a fist, as if she had made a certain resolution in her heart.

Perhaps this conquest strategy would be useful for her too.

"You're just like a bugged game! You Bug Demon!"

Inside Keima Katsuragi's bedroom, he was yelling hysterically at Elsie.

What happened today had left Keima Katsuragi completely speechless.

During the day, he had nearly died of exhaustion in gym class, and at noon, he had been served a literal devil's meal by Elsie.

And now, at night, this had to happen.

"Wuwuwu, I was doing it for the God of Conquest's own good!"

Elsie said, feeling wronged.

"Didn't you say your points were running low, God of Conquest? So I thought if I cooked for myself, I could reduce the burden on you!"

"Then can't you just make normal food..."

Keima Katsuragi sighed, but seeing Elsie's aggrieved expression and knowing she only wanted to help him, he couldn't bring himself to say anything more.

"You won't need to trouble yourself anymore, because from now on, we can save a huge amount of points."

"Eh? Why is that, God of Conquest!"

"I reached an agreement with the Chairman."

"What is a Chairman?"

"..."

Keima Katsuragi felt incredibly helpless, but he still explained everything that had happened earlier in full detail.

"I see! Not only did you save a huge amount of points, but you also don't have to worry about the class exams anymore?"

Elsie's eyes widened, and she looked at Keima Katsuragi with an expression of pure admiration.

"As expected of the God of Conquest!"

"That's right, this way I can avoid a lot of trouble."

Keima Katsuragi felt a headache coming on just thinking about those troublesome people in his class.

The real world was exactly the reason why he disliked it—because people like that existed.

"But, God of Conquest, God of Conquest... wuwuwuwu, are you going to abandon me!!"

Elsie suddenly looked at Keima Katsuragi with teary eyes.

"Huh?"

"If you don't have to worry about the class grades, then won't I easily fail my courses... wuwuwu! If I get expelled, the whole world will be destroyed, wuwuwuwuwu!"

"I know, I know. Didn't I already tell you I would tutor you?"

"As expected of the God of Conquest, you're amazing!"

Elsie seemed to have thought of something.
