Suzune Horikita's Personal Opinion

Leaving Class 1-B, Yuki Gyakukai casually surveyed the second and third-year activity areas.

It was largely the same as what he knew from the original work—upper classes generally looked down on lower classes.

Since it was still the start of the term, only a sparse few students had arrived in the second and third-year classrooms; after all, there was still some time before class started.

Unfortunately, because the new semester hadn't begun yet, Yuki Gyakukai couldn't see the current class points for the second and third years.

So to find out the class points, he'd probably have to wait until after the opening ceremony to get a concrete look.

Thinking this, he left the second and third-year activity area, taking with him the gazes and racing hearts of many upperclassmen girls.

His actions naturally drew the attention of the class leaders across the second and third years.

After all, he was a new face. In a school of only a few hundred people, someone with such outstanding features couldn't possibly go unnoticed.

Add in the same uniform, and the conclusion was immediate—this guy was a first-year freshman.

Class 2-A Classroom

"Hey, Miyabi, there was a first-year junior wandering around nearby earlier. Students from other classes and upperclassmen seniors all spotted him."

"He probably picked up on something from the school's promotional materials. Too bad I came late and missed him—apparently, the junior's pretty handsome."

Nazuna Asahina, her light brown hair tied up, sat beside her childhood friend, scrolling through the endless stream of messages on her phone with a regretful expression.

The blond-haired boy called Miyabi, full name Miyabi Nagumo, was the ruler of the entire second year.

He listened to his childhood friend's chatter with indifference. For him, the only target now was third-year Manabu Horikita.

"He might've just noticed something off. The upperclassmen and teachers have all been gagged by the school—figuring out the rules is up to you."

"But to get this far on the first day shows he has some talent."

Student Council Office

It was the first day of the new first-year enrollment. As the school's student council president, Manabu Horikita had come early to the office to handle affairs.

His hands flipped through documents, the cold white gleam of his glasses under the light making him look even more stern.

As expected, the president looks cool like this too!

Akane Tachibana, wearing a student uniform, was petite and cute, with two round buns tied on her head.

She sat at another desk, also handling work, but her sly little eyes occasionally darted over the documents to steal a glance at Manabu Horikita.

Hm?

A message popped up on the phone resting on the side of the desk.

[First-Year Genius Junior or Male Succubus?]

What kind of madman came up with that title?

Cute little Secretary Tachibana clicked in with a puzzled expression.

She didn't know if the junior was a genius, but she was curious what a male succubus looked like.

Her small finger tapped the link, and a picture loaded—showing a figure walking down the hallway.

But hey!

What does this have to do with a male succubus?

"Damn clickbait!"

Secretary Tachibana puffed out her cheeks and muttered resentfully.

Whatever. No matter how handsome, he couldn't beat the president.

Her finger kept scrolling down—judging by the progress bar, this page had quite a bit of content.

Across from her, Manabu Horikita was flipping through his materials. The school-issued terminal's notifications, aside from important ones, he ignored entirely.

Noticing the school's abnormality on the first day was impressive, but it wasn't nearly enough to catch his attention.

Suddenly, as he checked a student file, his hand twitched involuntarily.

"Suzune..."

School Gate

Having parted ways with the stoic, dead-fish-eyed Suzune Horikita, Yuki Gyakukai once again felt unfamiliar gazes converging on him.

She slightly furrowed her brow, casting a cold glare to the side.

Hey, are you Spider-Man?

I just glanced at you once, and you sensed it—your ability's practically stronger than spider-sense.

Noticing the icy stare locked onto him, Yuki Gyakukai, standing not far away and already pinpointed by Horikita, waved his hand at her.

Suzune Horikita didn't like being stared at—it made her feel like a monkey on display. When she noticed Yuki Gyakukai's gaze lingering on her, she walked over with clear displeasure.

"I believe we don't know each other, so why are your eyes fixed on me?"

Ah, he'd been glared at.

This was the first time something like this had happened since he was born.

Meeting Suzune Horikita's aggressive stare, Yuki Gyakukai met it without backing down.

"I think we're strangers. I pride myself on having a good memory—there's no way I'd forget a woman with such a cold temperament and striking appearance as yours."

Feeling the intensity of his gaze, she instinctively stepped back, her eyes wary, her fists clenched.

"I admit I'm cute and attractive, but romance isn't part of my three-year plan for high school."

I came here to follow in my brother's footsteps. There's no way I'd waste time on something like dating.

"So please don't get any ideas about me or hold out hope. If you're thinking about meaningless things like making friends or falling in love, drop that notion now. That is all."

With that, she turned and walked away toward the class assignment board ahead.

Watching her leave, Yuki Gyakukai felt utterly bewildered.

"Well, I never once mentioned dating or making friends, did I?"

"Could it be that having too high a face value subtly raises the initial favorability?"

"I thought I'd get to experience the famed sharp tongue of Suzune Horikita, the one they call Yukino, but it seems that was just wishful thinking on my part."

"Still, it's almost time for the opening ceremony. Should I head back first, or just go straight to the ceremony?"

Just as Yuki Gyakukai was debating whether to return, an unfamiliar figure caught his eye.

"Found an unexpected catch—this school has hidden non-humans."

Muttering strange words from time to time, her languid eyes, pale skin, and cute figure gave her an air of absent-minded innocence.

Judging by her uniform, she was likely a first-year as well.

The girl hurried forward, her white skirt fluttering. She had blue-violet hair, with two strands of hair trailing from her chest, bouncing rapidly with each step.

It's you, Kamito!

[Ai Morishita - Image]

"Ta-da! Ai Morishita makes her entrance."

Looking at Kamito, who had come right up to him and was staring up with her head tilted: "Classmate, are you chuunibyou?"

Ai Morishita tilted her head, gazing at this man whose charm was as monstrous as a demon's, with a puzzled expression:

"Chuunibyou? That's a strange way to put it."

"I came with a powerful resolve to observe the non-humans at this school..."

Listening to these baffling words, even though he already knew from the original work about Kamito's incomprehensible thought process, Yuki Gyakukai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Sure, his current physical condition might no longer be human, but he was still far more human-like than Tomie's extraordinary allure!
