"I really don't know how to thank you!"
Miko was filled with gratitude, and it wasn't just limited to verbal thanks. She had made up her mind to find a way to properly repay him.
"No need to be so polite, we're friends." Tenya smiled indifferently.
With a 65% favorability rating, he had gained quite a few points from her.
The grace of saving her life?
And it was the second time?
Yukino's eyes were filled with confusion. No matter how smart she was, she really couldn't figure out what had happened between the two of them.
Tenya ignored Yukino. After saying goodbye to Miko, he directly entered the Sobu High School teaching building.
"Yukinoshita-san, you really don't need to care about what Yoshida-san said..."
Miko was a gentle girl. She could more or less tell that Yukino cared a lot about Tenya.
"Hmph! Why should I care about what a stranger says?"
Yukino pretended to be cold, but still couldn't help but ask, "Yotsuya-san, you haven't known him for long either, right? Why would you do something so... irrational?"
On the bus, in broad daylight, Miko actively threw herself into Tenya's arms. No matter how you looked at it, it was a brainless fangirl act.
"Ah! This..."
Miko's cheeks flushed red, clearly realizing that her behavior was inappropriate.
"No! I didn't mean that."
"It was just... a moment of impulse..."
"Ah ah ah! What am I even saying?"
Seeing that her explanation was only making things worse, Miko suddenly became a little frantic.
"It seems that Yotsuya-san indeed has some unspeakable difficulties."
Since the conversation had reached this point and the other party still didn't intend to reveal the truth, Yukino was also tactful and didn't continue to press the matter.
"I've established a club at school called the Service Club."
"Our purpose is to lend a helping hand to those who encounter difficulties and accept various requests."
"If you encounter a problem that you cannot solve alone, you can come to the Service Club to discuss it."
Upon hearing this, Miko agreed on the surface, but in her heart, she couldn't help but murmur, 'The waters run very deep, I'm afraid your Service Club can't handle it!'
...
Tenya was walking towards his classroom when a girl walked towards him.
"Yoshida-san, Hiratsuka-sensei asked you to go to her office."
"Okay, thank you Kato-san."
Tenya recognized this girl with a low presence at a glance.
"Eh?"
Megumi stopped, a hint of surprise appearing on her usually calm face.
Tenya asked, "What's wrong, Kato-san?"
Megumi replied, "I was just a little surprised that you knew my name."
Tenya said, "After all, we are classmates, and Kato-san is very cute. It's normal for me to remember, right?"
Upon closer inspection, Megumi had well-defined features, a moderate height, and smooth skin. The areas that should be prominent were prominent, and the areas that should be small were quite small. She was a very cute type.
It was just that for some reason, she seemed to be enveloped in a hazy aura that concealed her presence.
"Me? Cute?"
After hearing Tenya's evaluation, Megumi was momentarily stunned.
She then reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and responded calmly, "Please don't say things that can cause misunderstandings, Yoshida-san. I'm just a quiet girl in the class."
"Then I'm truly lucky to be the first person to discover Kato-san's cuteness."
Tenya struck while the iron was hot and extended his hand to her. "If possible, please allow me to be your first friend."
Megumi didn't hesitate, nor did she act reserved like other girls.
She generously shook his hand, a beautiful arc forming on her lips. "Please take care of me, Yoshida-san."

'Extract!'
[Opening S-rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on getting Aura Concealment]
Possess the ability to completely conceal one's aura.
Very good!
Another life-saving skill!
The experiences of the past few days had made Tenya realize that this world was not peaceful.
The existence of the supernatural seriously threatened the safety of ordinary humans.
Although Tenya was not afraid of them, there was no guarantee that stronger unknown enemies wouldn't appear later.
Fight if you can win, run if you can't. At critical moments, Aura Concealment could save his life!

...
Tenya knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
A gentle female voice came from inside.
After pushing open the door, what came into view was a female teacher with long black hair reaching her waist, a tall figure with curves, and a mature charm.
This was Sobu High School's Japanese language and life guidance teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka.
She was beautiful, had a great figure, and came from a wealthy family. She was truly a perfect rich and beautiful woman.
The only problem was that she was a bit violent.
The reason Shizuka was still single to this day was largely because her suitors feared her iron fist.
"You're Yoshida Tenya from Class 2 F, right...?"
"I feel like you're thinking of something very rude."
Shizuka narrowed her eyes, and her fist subconsciously hardened.
"No, I was just surprised why Hiratsuka-sensei is single."
Tenya spoke his mind as soon as he arrived.
Others might be afraid of Shizuka's iron fist, but he wasn't.
"You brat, you're asking for death!!"
Good heavens!
You're going to go all out from the start, huh?
Shizuka's blood pressure instantly soared. With incredible speed, she threw a punch towards Tenya's face. The fierce punch even created a gust of wind.
However, her fist stopped an inch away from Tenya's forehead.
After all, teachers can't hit students.
"Oh my, oh my~ Why is Hiratsuka-sensei angry? I was just speaking my mind."
Tenya smiled slightly, not putting her iron fist in his eyes at all.
"You...you!"
Shizuka gritted her teeth. While she was angry, there was also a hint of surprise.
Faced with her fast and fierce punch, an average man would have been scared stiff long ago.
Even a martial artist would be startled and immediately make a defensive move.
However, the male student in front of her was not only not afraid, but he didn't make any defensive moves either.
It was as if her fist was just a little girl's act of coquetry, and even if it landed on him, it wouldn't hurt at all.
"What I mean is, for a woman as beautiful as Hiratsuka-sensei to still be single, it seems the men in Japan are all blind."
Tenya changed the subject, focusing on praising.
"Hmph~ Don't think I'll be happy just because you say that!"
Shizuka let out a light snort, pretending to be cool, but the wildly upturned corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.
Then, remembering something, she quickly put on a serious face again.
"Cough cough! I called you here today because I wanted to understand your daily life situation."
"It's okay. I just rented a house."
"The living facilities there are quite complete."
"And it's only a few stops away from school, not far."
Tenya briefly explained his living situation.
"That's a high-end residential area you are living in. The rent shouldn't be cheap."
Shizuka couldn't help but click her tongue.
"It's okay. The scholarship the school gives me every month is more than enough to cover the rent and daily expenses."
Sobu High School gave Tenya a scholarship of 120000 yen every month.
You can imagine how comfortable Tenya's life is.
"Ah~ If school gave impoverished students even a tenth of that welfare, that would be great!"
"Students like Kawasaki Saki who come from difficult family backgrounds... Uh, don't spread this around!"
Shizuka unintentionally leaked a student's family matters and quickly issued a gag order.
"Don't worry, Hiratsuka-sensei."
