True Hero Kills with a Glance
You will learn a form of ocular attack that uses your eyes as the medium of release and your field of vision as its range.
Its effects will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of power used, the strength of the target, the distance to the target, and the method of use.
Chef's Fortune
Cooking brings happiness to people.
While ordinary chefs were still toiling away within the narrow circle of color, aroma, and taste,
you had already surpassed them and begun exploring the mysteries of body and mind.
The dishes you prepare with care will have different effects depending on the feelings you put into them while cooking. (The food won't taste any better.)
After a brief moment of thought, Tanaka Yukishin felt it wasn't bad.
True Hero Kills with a Glance offered another way to use mental strength.
Though it didn't seem to do much for his current situation,
at least Aura of Hegemony hadn't turned into Yasashii, Super High School Level Leadership, Charisma of a Leader, or some other useless skill.
Assessment: useful, but not much help in an emergency.
As for Chef's Fortune...
It wasn't as if he could say he was cooking for himself with the hope that he'd improve,
then eat the food and get a buff that solved his problems... right?
Maybe it could work.
The power of cheats was truly staggering.
Tanaka Yukishin decided to give it a try back at the dorm that evening.
When he returned to the private room, the music had stopped.
Only the sound of everyone arguing remained.
Their interest had long since shifted from karaoke to gossip.
As soon as Tanaka Yukishin came back, everyone surrounded him.
"Yukishin-kun, are you okay?"
Seeing her boyfriend's damp hair, Karuizawa Kei immediately forgot the questions she'd had in mind.
"I'm fine."
"Tanaka, did it work?"
Matsushita Chiaki and Sato Maya saw that he seemed to be in a good mood and guessed he had gained quite a bit.
"Yeah."
Tanaka Yukishin nodded.
He might have been able to keep this kind of thing secret for a while if no one knew about it.
But now that he had told them, anyone who looked into it would eventually find out.
After all, he wasn't really their senior. He was in the same year as them.
Sooner or later, he'd run into Honami-chan and Kanzaki Ryuji at school.
"Congratulations!"
Envy instantly filled the hearts of all the girls except Karuizawa Kei.
They envied not only Tanaka Yukishin, but Karuizawa Kei as well.
When Koenji saw that something good had happened to Tanaka Yukishin, he felt nothing but happy for him.
He didn't have many friends.
Tanaka Yukishin was one of his few.
Their friendship was pure.
He was happy when Tanaka Yukishin was doing well and saddened when he was having a hard time.
Tanaka Yukishin sensed the emotions of those around him.
Envy and happiness.
Not bad, so far.
These people were much better than some of the phonies in his class.
Happiness was better when shared, so Tanaka Yukishin started handing out points.
He transferred 500,000 points to Koenji Rokusuke.
He sent Karuizawa Kei 1,000,000 points and asked her to transfer 100,000 points to each of the other girls.
"Are you sure? We didn't do anything."
After receiving the points, the girls were surprised and delighted, but also felt a little embarrassed.
If they'd contributed something along the way, then taking the points would have made sense.
But they hadn't done anything and were getting money for free.
It just felt...
"We all came out to have fun together. We're friends."
"Even though the original plan changed and none of you could help,"
"I won't keep these unexpected gains all to myself."
They were all friends, but there was a difference between casual acquaintances and close friends.
The distinction was obvious from the points alone.
Handsome, strong, good at making money, generous, incredibly skilled in bed... With so many reasons piling up,
the girls' affection for Tanaka Yukishin immediately surged, soared, and skyrocketed.
Meanwhile, Karuizawa Kei's hold on their "loyalty" began to waver.
Chapter 28: 29 Student Council Assessment
Japanese students formed groups based on a few factors.
Their standing in class and school.
Their interests and hobbies.
Their looks and height.
As a gyaru, Karuizawa Kei naturally belonged to the Brahmin caste in her class.
She was grouped with the popular kids, honor students, and members of athletic clubs—the top of the class food chain.
However, even within a group, there were clear differences between members.
It usually took about a week to decide who would lead the group.
After all, some things could only be determined through spending time together.
So she had relied on her boyfriend's powerful support.
Her securing the leader's position ahead of time had planted the seeds of trouble.
At that moment, the girls' "loyalty" to her deserved those quotation marks.
With Tanaka Yukishin so outstanding, and Karuizawa Kei having yet to show any particular abilities of her own, some of them had already begun thinking of stealing him away or joining her circle.
Student Council.
Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane were busy at work.
Horikita Manabu had been on the Student Council for two years and was familiar with all its duties and operations.
But he hadn't been president before.
To avoid making mistakes during the adjustment period after the change in position,
he had become even more diligent in his work.
Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School had an unwritten rule that was always followed.
The Student Council president's position belonged to the leader of Class 3-A.
The reason was simple.
The Student Council had several special privileges.
One of them was the ability to exert some influence over Special Exams.
Special Exams were a major factor in the rise and fall of Class Points.
Since the Student Council could influence them,
this privilege was bound to be restricted.
After weighing various factors, the school administration ultimately decided to reserve the position for the leader of Class 3-A.
First, the school's educational philosophy was survival of the fittest.
As the winning class, Class 3-A naturally deserved the position.
Second, Student Council members would inevitably use their roles to seek benefits for themselves or their classes. But the benefits they could gain varied depending on their positions.
As the highest position in the Student Council and the pinnacle of the student body, the president naturally had the most authority.
Giving the position to the leader of Class A had its reasons.
First, after two years of competition, the gap in Class Points between the four third-year classes was usually enormous.
So the Student Council president couldn't make much use of the privilege.
Second, even in the rare cases when the four third-year classes had similar points,
Class A was the focus of every class's competition, so the president would inevitably be watched closely by everyone else.
Even if the president wanted to seek personal gain, they couldn't go too far in their final year.
This created a situation where the strongest couldn't use the privilege, those in the middle were watched by countless eyes and kept in check, and the weakest had no access to it.
That way, any negative effects this special privilege might cause were kept within safe limits.
Of course, if someone really looked into it, they could still gain a little.
After all, a safe range meant there was a ceiling and a floor.
At a crucial moment, this could be enough to decide the winner.
As Student Council secretary, Tachibana Akane
was responsible for clerical work such as taking minutes, organizing documents, and sending out notices, as well as maintaining the Student Council archives.
After organizing the club expense reports that had been audited by the accountant,
she set them beside Horikita Manabu's left hand.
"President, the clubs are holding their welcome event tomorrow afternoon. Would you like to come see if there are any exceptional new students this year?"
After finishing the work in front of him, Horikita Manabu moved the club expense reports to the middle of the desk.
As he reviewed them, he started to refuse without turning around.
He had already seen the new students at yesterday's entrance ceremony. Why go and steal the spotlight again?
But when he heard "new students," he thought of his foolish little sister.
He changed his mind at the last moment.
"Finish the work in front of us first. We'll see about tomorrow."
"Of course!"
