You Dare Trick Me

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, student dormitory.

After finishing his classes for the day, Amasawa Reigetsu returned to his dorm. While showering, he began to organize the "rules" of this school.

1. Points can purchase almost anything. 2. Points are distributed based on class strength assessments.

Based on the information known, the missing pieces of the puzzle should be:

1. The scope and purchasing power of points. 2. The significance of what the school is hiding. 3. The significance of class rankings. 4. The method of assessing class strength.

Thinking further, the significance of what the school is hiding likely overlaps with the method of assessing class strength. Based on this, he speculated that the assessment method is "exams." Since they were currently in the middle of their first exam, what exactly was the content of this test?

Amasawa Reigetsu stopped thinking—not because he had figured it out, but because he had finished his shower.

Stepping out of the bathroom and drying off, Amasawa Reigetsu couldn't help but reflect on himself.

What exactly had he done today? A date with Ayanokoji Kiyoko, a... duel with Morishita Ran, a date with Sakayanagi Arisu, and teasing Kushida Kikyo...

"I can't let myself be obsessed with beauty starting tomorrow," Amasawa Reigetsu muttered to himself, then prepared to go to bed—

"But it's not midnight yet."

"True, but what else is there for me to do? Once I sleep and wake up, isn't it already tomorrow?"

"Who said you have nothing to do? Isn't there something right here, Reigetsu?"

Amasawa Reigetsu: ? Am I hallucinating in my own room? How did I hear Ayanokoji's voice?

A hand reached out from under Amasawa Reigetsu's quilt—

"Holy sh*t, ahhhhhhh!!!"

No refusal allowed.

The next day, Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, student dormitory.

Amasawa Reigetsu woke up, washed up, and looked at Ayanokoji Kiyoko still sleeping on the bed, feeling a bit dazed.

What exactly happened yesterday?

Before he returned last night, Ayanokoji Kiyoko had already laid an ambush in his quilt... According to the person in question, she could lurk for so long because she had undergone extreme environmental stealth training in the White Room; hiding in a quilt was nothing.

Then, after he finished his shower, he was pulled into the quilt by the long-lurking Ayanokoji Kiyoko and was nearly "dealt with" on the spot. Fortunately, Uncle Reigetsu had superpowers and directly forced this "mimic" that had spawned in the bed to stop.

"Why? I still can't see through you, Ayanokoji Kiyoko."

Amasawa Reigetsu looked into Ayanokoji's emotionless eyes. Although he was no saint, he felt a sense of abnormality.

He was curious why Ayanokoji Kiyoko acted this way in the White Room, and he didn't understand why she would appear in the same bed as him in such a manner.

As a natural esper—the only one in the world—Amasawa Reigetsu was arrogant; this was the pride of one holding a gift bestowed by the heavens.

Therefore, he was undoubtedly wicked—wicked enough that even though Ayanokoji Kiyoko was currently pressing down on him, he indifferently called her by her full name.

Because Ayanokoji was the only person who could not be subjected to induction, he was curious. Because he was curious, he wanted to know. Because he wanted to know, he asked at this moment.

Amasawa Reigetsu didn't care about any accidents, so he asked without fear.

White Room, WR-01-room.

It was a late night no different from any other; the monotonous white walls cut off all sense of time. At that time, Ayanokoji Kiyoko had rarely taken the initiative to send a message, calling Amasawa Reigetsu to her room.

Amasawa Reigetsu pushed the door open and entered; nothing happened in the room.

Ayanokoji Kiyoko just sat quietly by the bed, pointed to the chair opposite her, and then fell into a long silence. That night, she did nothing and said nothing; she just looked at him like that, or rather, looked at something through "Reigetsu's" body.

That suffocating silence lasted for a full three hours. It wasn't until the instructor's patrolling footsteps drew near that she said faintly:

"You can go now."

Amasawa Reigetsu could not understand the intentions of the emotionless person before him, yet he fearlessly believed that no one could pose a threat to him.

This was a tug-of-war between a blank slate and arrogance.

Such things continued until Amasawa Reigetsu took the initiative to trigger an incident and leave the White Room.

What followed was their reunion at Advanced Nurturing High School, where Ayanokoji Kiyoko's words tipped the scales of balance—

"Can you use that on me?"

The person of blankness sought color, and so she needed him.

At this moment, feeling the girl's warm body temperature against his own, Amasawa Reigetsu suddenly felt the current scene overlap with that white room from years ago.

"I lost."

Amasawa Reigetsu tightened his core and exerted force, flipping them over to pin Ayanokoji Kiyoko beneath him; his forceful movement drew a muffled groan from her.

"You won from the very beginning, Master♡"

"Such a good girl."
