"Hello class, we are here to bother you again~"
"Gab, wanna join?"
"...."
Gabriel, who had just covered her ears to block out the noises from next door, stared expressionlessly at Iris and Elio as they walked past her, deliberately waving at her, her mouth twitched again.
'This is too much! This is a classroom!'
'Exams are still going on! How are they coming over one after another!'
"President~ Elio and I came to... Huh? The president's not taking the exam in the classroom?"
After teasing Gabriel a bit, Iris walked over to Hachiman's seat, blinked at the empty spot.
Her slender, pale elf ears twitched lightly, and she heard a faint sound from right in front of her, she slowly reached out.
With a familiar sensation in her hand, Iris saw two people suddenly appear in what had been an empty seat.
"President, your invisibility magic is already this strong?", Elio covered her little mouth, staring in shock at Hachiman and the Amaki Lily in his arms.
Wasn't the president completely magic-less before? How's his magic skill so high now, this invisibility spell has no flaws even for her; even the Elf Princess Iris couldn't spot it.
"That just now wasn't my invisibility magic, it was Lily's cognitive interference."
Hachiman looked down in surprise at Amaki Lily still clinging tightly to him. He hadn't expected her cognitive interference to be this strong. Even Iris couldn't see him or Lily earlier.
Too bad Amaki Lily's cognitive interference isn't common sense alteration; it just makes people unaware of someone's presence here. It can't hide sounds they make, and it doesn't fool someone with clear intent, like Iris who came straight to his seat looking for him.
The three Amaki sisters don't have high combat power, but talent-wise they're super strong types: the youngest Lily has cognitive interference, big sis Lemi can even suck out people's memories.
Put together, their powers are like an incomplete version of common sense alteration.
"I thought you'd gone off to play somewhere else, President, good thing you're still here."
Seeing Hachiman wrapped up by yet another demi-human beauty, Iris flashed a cute, sweet smile and hugged onto Hachiman and Amaki Lily together with the shy mermaid songstress Elio.
She knew about Amaki Lily, the third of the succubus sisters, one that Ursula had pulled in to deal with the president.
But now the third sis Amaki Lily was totally hooked on the president's charm; she figured the big sis and second sis succubi wouldn't hold back either.
Plus the vampire Sakurase Shino had already been turned by the president...
Hmm... of Ursula's demi-humans left at school to deal with the president, only the newly joined oni shrine maiden Origamine Ouka remained.
She hoped Ursula could step up and pull in more strong backup from outside.
If Ursula couldn't find other powerful demi-human helpers, with those fidgety magical girls on Kaede's side, she'd have to head back to the elves herself to rally people.
Sure, tons of rich heiresses and family heirs prepping to join Soubu High wanted to butter up the elves for support, but Iris was counting them all on the human side.
After all, what her elf clan really needed was aid. Too many propped-up human factions would just split the aid.
Not even mentioning newborn elves that needed ages of aid to emerge; just nonstop aid day and night could make their strength skyrocket.
If she hadn't rashly spilled about the president and risked word leaking to other races in the other world all rushing over to snag him, she'd have called the Elf Queen and all the other elf princesses long ago to come accept his aid together and power up big time.
"Don't come near me and brother! I'm a succubus, I can't hold back!"
Seeing Iris and Elio hug onto her and Hachiman without a care, Amaki Lily, who'd just zoned out panting a bit, panicked hard and yelled to stop them.
She knew Iris and Elio were demi-humans too, but aside from their fellow succubi, casually touching their bodies would still get hit by succubus effects.
Big sis said even the strongest demi-humans absolutely couldn't resist their suction.
But their combat power was low and bodies fragile, so normally they couldn't get close to strong demi-humans. Even if she used cognitive interference to approach, once spotted they'd get killed on the spot.
That's why for centuries they'd hidden not just from humans but most demi-humans too.
It was only seeing the peace-loving elf princess from another world here, plus their suppressant meds slowly wearing off, that they came over hoping the elf princess could solve their succubus issues.
Didn't expect to spot brother right away, the one who made them lose control the second they got close.
"Don't worry, I know about you succubi's uncontrollable charm powers. In your state with the president right now, it won't work on us."
Iris and Elio straddled Hachiman's thighs one on each side, sandwiching Amaki Lily in the middle; after each planting a kiss on Hachiman's face, they grinned at the stunned, shocked Lily and softly explained.
In their world, where were succubi who couldn't control their instincts? Succubi who say that are all lying through their teeth, just excuses for not controlling their desires.
In her view, the Amaki triplets, who'd make someone convulse and drop dead from a fingertip touch, were really just too desire-driven, too starved; any touch unleashed their instincts.
If the Amaki sisters could eat their fill, stuff themselves full, they'd never have this out-of-control issue.
Sure, Amaki Lily didn't look full now, centuries of hunger wouldn't satisfy easy, but she wasn't that desperate anymore.
Compared to their life energy, Lily definitely craved the president's way purer, tastier life energy more.
That life energy on the president was so vast and pure, its life force burning ghosts and spirits from afar, even Gab and Vigne would be shocked; as long as Lily's body wasn't busted, no way she'd suck them over the president.
"Of course, if it were Gab, that might not hold."
Saying that, Iris turned to glare at Gabriel pretending to be deaf and blind nearby, grinning.
"..."
Gabriel kept her head down, her slim pale little hands gripping the pen hard, scribbling answers fast on the test.
Iris was even more infuriating than Raphiel.
But against this super evil elf princess, telling Hachiman to punish Iris wouldn't work.
Iris not letting Hachiman punish her would already be lucky, no way it'd be her turn to punish Iris.
If she didn't obey Iris and tried to get back at her, then Iris teaming up with Raphiel to mess with her? She'd wanna die for real.
'No, I can't just sit here, I have to strike first. Better sell out Raphiel before Raphiel keeps selling me out; Raphiel is dodging punishment all this time? She deserves it.'
'Otherwise this semester I really can't keep going. This human world training is nothing like I imagined, how's it this hard!'
After teasing Gabriel and seeing her bury her head in the exam ignoring her, Iris shifted her gaze to Ijichi Nijika up front, also working on her paper.
Gabriel might be half-fallen already, subconsciously okay with stuff way over the line.
But strength-wise, even after tons of president aid powering her up, she still wasn't a match for Gabriel, better not push her too hard.
Gab won't do, but Nijika should be fine.
Nijika had a build like her and Gab, same blonde hair, even played with the president alongside her bandmates; joining them now should be no issue.
"Nijika~"
"How's Hachiman... Ah? Iris?"
Ijichi Nijika suddenly felt a pat on her back, glanced at Kirisu Mafuyu at the podium, then puzzled turned to look behind. Only it wasn't Hachiman, but the blonde Elf Princess Iris.
Iris and Elio had come in invisible at first, then touched Amaki Lily, getting covered by her cognitive interference, so Nijika hadn't noticed the commotion at Hachiman's seat behind her.
Who'd think in this dead-quiet exam room, beside just rustling papers and pen scratches, an elf princess, mermaid songstress would barge in.
Nijika's eyes went wide, staring blankly at the silver-haired Amaki Lily in white knee-highs sitting in Hachiman's lap, then at the petite cute mermaid songstress doing vocal warm-ups, pressing her sea-blue knee-highs to the floor.
Finally, blushing hard, she looked at the only one not wearing socks, bare pale smooth slender legs, sitting on Hachiman's thigh rocking lightly, grinning at her: Iris.
'Calling me at a time like this... this elf princess Iris isn't gonna...'
"Nijika, I just reinforced the barrier some more, wanna come play?"
Iris didn't bother with excuses, grinned at Nijika's soft flat little body under the Soubu uniform, her golden hair in an off-center ponytail, slim feet wrapped in white ankle socks, pointed at Elio's open spot on Hachiman's other thigh, and straight-up invited her.
Sure, Nijika was human and would become a magical girl later, but Iris didn't sweat the details.
With so many killer-bodied girls around the president, their builds were actually rarer for him. Not to mention she, Nijika, Gab were all dazzling blondes.
Only downside was Elio's bright clear sky-blue hair, but the timid little-animal type who'd still climb into the president's bed on her own was cute as hell.
"N-no no no, no way! I'm still taking the exam!"
Ijichi Nijika shook her head hard at Iris's blatant crazy talk, her delicate pale face flushing even redder.
Even guessing it the second she saw Iris, hearing it for real? Still couldn't accept this crap.
Fine during normal class, but during exams too?
"You can take the exam and play at the same time, no worries about not finishing."
Iris eyed Amaki Lily who was out of energy but still wanting more, gently shoved Hachiman's desk aside, then controlled Nijika's chair under her to lift off, sliding everyone over to Nijika's original spot.
"???"
Ijichi Nijika stared blankly as she floated midair from her seat, then slowly descended, her body puppeted by Iris to swap in for Amaki Lily.
'Not even asking my opinion, just telling me?'
"Don't worry, Nijika, no one else will notice. Anyway, you won't last long."
Iris softly reassured Nijika, who was still gripping her pen refusing reality.
Forget Nijika not being a magical girl yet, even if she was, her physical stats couldn't keep up with them right away.
They could go slow and last a whole exam; Nijika couldn't, so no issue with messing up the test.
"...", Ijichi Nijika.
'This ain't about getting caught or not!'
'How can I, how can I... right in front of Yumiko...'
Ijichi Nijika's pen dropped onto the paper, her whole body slumping powerless onto the desk; she turned her head to gaze at Miura Yumiko in the back-left, still agonizing over test questions, a shameful blush surging on her face.
She wanted to argue with Iris, but one thing she had to admit: she really wouldn't last long.
"President," After successfully dragging Nijika in, Iris hugged Hachiman's arm tight, her glossy pink lips brushing his ear, whispering softly.
"Idol agency? Meroune's been busy with that lately?"
One arm around the pure cute Iris, the other around Elio who'd swapped spots with Amaki Lily and settled back on his thigh, Hachiman was about to dive into his special exam when Iris's words puzzled him.
What girls from some idol agency wanted to see him? He'd just guest-starred as manager at that concert, barely showing his face to anyone.
Even Hanabishi Haruka's idol group, if not for being Komachi's classmates, probably wouldn't know about him.
"Meroune really wants to make you happy, President. And Elio and them want to promote some juniors~"
Seeing Hachiman not buying it, Iris smiled faintly and nipped his ear.
Unlike mermaid songstress Elio and crew, mermaid princess Meroune's position was kinda awkward.
Not a super popular idol, hadn't awakened her bloodline, no human form to walk on land with legs.
President never minded Meroune's mermaid form. He would occasionally have Elio, Eluci, Ayla the three mermaid songstresses switch to mermaid mode for pool or bath fun together.
But that was only with Elio and them; with Kaede, Suzu, Rurikawa and crew, Meroune usually sat out, just watching from afar.
Now Meroune wanting to cheer the president up was just sending agency idols over, not like her, bringing clan beauties.
Hmm... this world's mermaids were mostly unawakened; even awakened ones weren't fully, human form or not, water touch turned them back to mermaid.
"Yeah yeah, Princess Meroune really likes the president, but she doesn't get much time with him usually, and moving around's inconvenient for her, so she's hoping the agency idols can help out."
Elio pursed her little lips too, her slim soft pale arms gently around Hachiman's neck, leaning on his shoulder to softly speak up for Meroune.
Princess Meroune had helped them tons, they owed their explosive popularity to her full support.
Just too bad Meroune hadn't awakened her mermaid bloodline power; stuck in mermaid form, she faced tons of limits in human society.
As for Princess Iris's "promoting juniors". They did that normally, occasional collabs with agency newbies for cross-promo.
But this time, Iris's pointed mention wasn't the usual kind.
"Idols from the agency... maybe pass on that... I've got leads on the bloodline awakening, can get Meroune awakened soon. Tell her no need to worry."
Hachiman thought it over, then shook his head.
He admitted the idol agency girls Meroune mentioned did tempt him a bit. Sharing an agency with Elio's mermaid songstresses and Hanabishi Haruka's magical girl types, even if lesser, they'd beat average beauties easy.
But wasn't this pillow business? He trusted Iris and Meroune wouldn't force anyone, but trading futures for this kinda pull? Nah, better skip it.
He didn't know why, compared to these power-fame-money-s*x deals, he way preferred Iris and Elio's aid trades.
