The next morning.
Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!
"Hah! Hah! Is it morning?"
Natsuha Shinomiyagi snapped up her upper body, startled awake. Her two full, ripe breasts continuously trembled from the violent movement and heavy breathing, presenting a highly seductive sight.
"I think I had a strange dream."
Natsuha Shinomiyagi covered her face. The details of the dream from last night didn't fade with waking; instead, they became clearer.
"Ugh~ Why would I dream about that Alistair Vance guy?" Natsuha Shinomiyagi recalled Alistair Vance's actions toward her in the dream, covering her face and blaming herself.
"Shower! Shower! I can't stand this anymore."
Natsuha Shinomiyagi threw off the blanket and rushed to the bathroom. Her body was nearly soaked with the unknown liquid that had been secreted, and the sticky feeling made the sensation of being pinned down and thrust high into the air in her mind even clearer. She had to rinse herself off to calm down.
...
"Hah~ I'm so bored."
Alistair yawned. Although he didn't wake up at 10 AM today, he hadn't risen much earlier. After waking up with nothing to do, he decided to attend class.
While the school was indeed subpar, he still needed to maintain a certain facade of academic performance. No matter how much of a degenerate someone was, they usually gave the school some face, at least making their grades look decent.
So, while having half the seats empty was common, occasionally the classroom would be nearly full, such as before an exam or when there was drama to watch...
"Seriously, how did the whole school find out overnight?"
Alistair felt highly annoyed, seeing random people constantly looking at him.
At first, he didn't care, but then he noticed they kept glancing at him, giving him the feeling of being a spectacle, like a monkey in a cage. During the break, he asked Mina and found out that his "openly two-timing" stunt from yesterday had already spread to more than half the grade.
As everyone knew, two-timing was generally frowned upon publicly, so even when it happened, guys usually did it secretly. Unlike Alistair, who just came right out and admitted it. This created a lot of curiosity about Alistair, making people want to come and see what kind of person he was.
However, the number of people still staring at Alistair had significantly decreased. Most people were just looking for a bit of excitement and novelty. After realizing Alistair wasn't incredibly handsome or exceptionally eloquent as they might have imagined, most of them left.
After all, if you don't have outstanding looks or a skillful tongue, do you conquer girls with your actual skill?
The girls probably felt deceived. The delinquents, including Masaru Ogika, figured he was just blackmailing them. Ryūji Matsuoka, whom Masaru had dragged along, believed Alistair must have used smooth talking. In any case, just looking at Alistair's physique, they concluded he couldn't possibly be well-endowed.
"Hey, Masaru, who's the purple-haired girl laying on her desk?"
After watching Alistair for a while, Ryūji Matsuoka lost interest. Although he recognized Alistair as the guy who had messed with him that night, he noticed a more valuable presence.
"Her? The purple-haired girl? That's Natsuha Shinomiyagi, the one I was originally interested in. I could have sealed the deal after a few more days, but that Alistair Vance ruined it." Masaru Ogika gestured toward Natsuha Shinomiyagi, and after receiving confirmation from Ryūji Matsuoka, he introduced her with a look of annoyance.
"What? Did that guy get her too?" Ryūji Matsuoka asked, folding his arms with an interested expression.
"No, but I can't go near that area. That Alistair Vance—don't let his skinny look fool you—his strength is much greater than mine. He could pin me down until I knelt. He taught me a lesson when I took Mina Morita's seat while trying to flirt with Natsuha Shinomiyagi. Even if your mouth is smooth, if Alistair just throws a punch, you won't have any room to use your talent." Masaru Ogika rested his face in his hand. Despite his reluctance, he had to admit that Alistair Vance's physical strength was enough to easily beat both of them, like an adult fighting a child.
"He's that strong?" Ryūji Matsuoka couldn't maintain his composure and looked surprised. Although he and Masaru Ogika hadn't known each other long, their highly compatible personalities made them close friends—close enough to casually swap girlfriends at first. After a period of friendly exchange, they were now at the level where if one walked through the front door, the other walked through the back.
Therefore, Ryūji Matsuoka was certain Masaru Ogika wouldn't lie to him. If he said he couldn't win, he couldn't win.
"He's that strong. I think he probably has some kind of super ability related to strength." Masaru Ogika speculated.
"A super ability, huh? That makes sense. They're not that rare. Maybe five out of ten people have a little bit of a power. It's just a matter of whether it's strong or useful. I have one myself, after all." Ryūji Matsuoka felt a headache coming on. If Alistair Vance truly possessed a strength-related super ability that could completely suppress Masaru Ogika, his power must be significant. People with super abilities usually have slightly stronger mental defenses, too, even if only a little, which could greatly reduce or nullify the effect of his own ability.
"You have a super ability?" Masaru Ogika looked at Ryūji Matsuoka in surprise. Was he the only clown here?
"Yeah, I can enhance the persuasiveness of my words—that's what they call mental suggestion. No matter how smooth my talking is, I can't charm girls in such a short time. I mostly rely on this ability to help me. I roughly get them to relax, then use this to enhance the suggestion, and finally use the ability to make them fall for me after I've fucked them." Ryūji Matsuoka didn't hide anything from his like-minded close friend, openly explaining his technique.
"No wonder you managed to score so many girls just by talking. That's much easier than me; I have to fuck them first so they aren't so resistant. By the way, does your ability work on that Alistair guy?" Masaru Ogika nodded, lamented his own disadvantage, and then asked.
"No. My ability is fine for girls—their resistance is low because my face is decent, and they're not highly suspicious of me. But that guy had a conflict with me at the party.
I was interested in a girl who joined our club. Her tits were about as big as these girls', and her face and personality were pure. She might even have been a virgin. But that guy was in the club that merged with ours. I suspect he was also interested in that girl.
My ability basically doesn't work on anyone who is wary of me or has slightly stronger mental defenses. We played with a girl recently, remember? I had to work hard to create the atmosphere before I could seal the deal." Ryūji Matsuoka said gloomily. His ability was effective, but its applicability was limited. With such severe restrictions, how was he supposed to fight Alistair Vance? He'd be lucky not to get hospitalized after two punches.
"Then what do we do? Just keep avoiding him? Are you giving up on your target too?" Masaru Ogika's expression drooped. This feeling was incredibly frustrating, but he couldn't deal with Alistair.
"Heh, of course not. Did you forget about Takaaki Anjō-senpai?" Ryūji Matsuoka sneered.
"The person you're talking about had his target right there, Kasumi Haruno, the night before last. And we haven't heard from Takaaki Anjō-senpai since that night." Masaru Ogika explained.
"We don't need him, but he has a great relationship with Coach Tōgō, the PE teacher. Coach Tōgō is famous in our well-informed circles. His various drugs are not ordinary. They say they're mixed with his own ability. I heard he used to be in the city's professional sports circuit, but he got caught using his power to create stimulants, was fired, and came to our school." Ryūji Matsuoka explained to him. As he spoke, he looked toward Alistair and Mina Morita, who were chatting, and Kasumi Haruno, whom Alistair had pulled into a seat next to his.
"I figure you only rely on your physical advantages. If we want your help, we'll need your introduction to Takaaki-senpai. If we can get a drug from Coach Tōgō that has both anesthetic and aphrodisiac effects, then even Alistair's mental state would likely be compromised. Then, my ability will work. By then, not only the Natsuha Shinomiyagi you're interested in, but won't his two girlfriends be our toys too?"
Ryūji Matsuoka explained his idea to Masaru Ogika, who nodded and agreed wholeheartedly.
"Alright. Then I'll take you to find Takaaki Anjō-senpai after school." Masaru Ogika nodded and agreed, then cast a jealous glance at Alistair.
