On the "Handsome Men" stage, the spotlight shone on a magnificent, muscular back, made up of layers of muscle fibers. As the rugby club member tensed up, his bulging trapezius and biceps caused a huge cheer from the crowd!
"Not bad! So strong!"
"It's rare to see such well-defined muscles!"
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing his friend on stage, Shinji Tokita laughed and handed the rugby club's president a beer. "I told you guys, do you have to confuse the 'Handsome Men' with a bodybuilding competition every time? Isn't the new 'hard root' contest enough for you?"
"You have no right to say that!"
The bald-headed president's large hand squeezed the tiny beer can, making it look comically out of proportion. He shot back, "I wonder who's the one who turns this place into a strip club every year!"
"Oh! You don't have to worry about that. We have a real pretty boy in this year's freshmen!"
"I know! The blond guy with a good tolerance for alcohol, right~ Can we borrow him for a new member recruitment event next time?"
"Don't you even think about it! Hey! Azusa~"
Ryūjirō Kotobuki awkwardly nudged the purple-haired beauty next to him. His evil grin couldn't be hidden as he watched the muscular man leave the stage.
"Alright! Our next contestant is President Kudou of the Tinker Bell club! Let's give him a warm welcome!"
"Whoaahhhhhh! Kudou-san!"
It had to be said that Tinker Bell was indeed the club with the most pretty boys. As the dark-skinned Kudou walked onto the stage, all the guys who had been cheering suddenly had a disgruntled expression. On the other hand, the girls, who were full of contempt for muscular men, all went wild, screaming so loud it could have shaken the roof tiles loose if there were any.
"Oh my~ He's so popular. So. What are you guys going to do?"
The bald-headed rugby club president had entered the contest just for fun, so his attitude was calm. But the Pab Club was here for the prize money. He looked over with a crooked eye, wanting to know if these shameless guys had a secret weapon.
"Of course! Our cute juniors have prepared a wonderful performance!"
"Enjoy!"
"Hah, I doubt it's anything good."
As one of the top clubs on the list of "Most Hated Clubs by Girls," the bald-headed rugby club president knew his old friends' habits all too well. Every time they said, "Just watch!" or "Get ready to enjoy," they were about to present a truly bizarre show.
Since that was the case... He set up the camera he had borrowed from his girlfriend's photography club. The other rugby club members, also in sync, gave their bald-headed president a thumbs-up!
"Oh well~ there's nothing to introduce, is there? We're all guys here..."
On the stage, President Kudou's performance continued. He looked down on the Pab Club for being perverts, but as a third-year student, he had long heard about their crazy antics and was prepared. On the surface, he was just stalling, but in reality, he was using his peripheral vision to scan the audience, looking for the Pab Club members. He knew the two weakling perverts who wanted to bury him this morning had both entered the "Handsome Men," so they had to be behind him, waiting to go on stage. He had to be careful of a backstab!
As for his own peers, Ryūjirō Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita, they were in the audience with his target, Azusa Hamaoka. So the only variable left was...
"Whoaahhhh! Kudou!"
"President is so handsome!"
"You'll win easily this year!"
"No, no, no, everyone has a chance..."
He laughed awkwardly and turned to walk away. Unfortunately, he never found that exceptionally handsome muscular man. Could it be that he was too drunk to show up? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, even though the number of Pab Club members present was noticeably smaller, they were probably all passed out drunk in a random classroom somewhere!
"Heh~ I really overestimated you guys..."
President Kudou brushed past the blond-haired guy from the Pab Club. He laughed lightly and mocked his enemies.
"..."
But Kōhei Imamura's face remained placid. He was simply overwhelmed by the sheer number of people in the audience! As an otaku, he had never seen a scene like this! To not look intimidated, he kept repeating in his mind, "This is just a pumpkin patch!" forcing himself to see everyone in the audience as a pumpkin. As for the person who had just passed him, he was just a pumpkin of a slightly darker color!
"I'm Kōhei Imamura from the diving club. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Whoa! A pretty boy! But why is he wearing a school uniform?"
"He's so elegant. I thought the Pab Club was a bunch of naked idiots?"
Although Miyazawa Yu and Iori Kitahara would not admit it, when it came to looks, Kōhei Imamura's melancholic face was more popular in college! You could see it from the girls' reactions.
"Then please introduce yourself..."
Ignoring the host who held the microphone out to him, Kōhei Imamura stopped at the edge of the stage with a blank expression.
"Um—"
"Azusa Hamaoka-senpai!"
He closed his eyes, bowed deeply, and shouted with all his might. "Don't pay attention to President Kudou of Tinker Bell! Please go out with me!"
"Oohhh!! Contestant Kohei just confessed on stage! How amazing! I'm so excited! Gaah!"
The host's eyes were filled with the fire of gossip. He threw his head back and howled dramatically. He completely forgot about the rules of the contest and became a witness, pointing to this unprecedented scene of cuckoldry.
"So... who will she choose!"
Azusa looked up slightly, as if she were cornered. Her bangs covered her eyes, and she was too "shy" to show her full face. Her shoulders were hunched, a sign of her inner turmoil. She finally reached out and took... President Kudou's hand!
The entire venue went silent. The host's mouth was wide open. He took a deep breath and then used a howl to announce the result to the crowd!
"It's President Kudou! This beautiful lady has chosen President Kudou! Let's wish them a happy relationship! Omedeto!"
"Noooooo! President Kudou! My President Kudou!"
"I guess all we can do is wish them well... why are my eyes tearing up!"
"Wuwuwu... President Kudou, you have to be happy!"
The cries of despair filled the air. The dark-skinned Kudou had done a good job on the surface. At least, Aina Yoshiwara, who was hiding behind the curtain, heard it and felt awful. How could a scumbag who used and discarded girls have so many fans, while she had never been liked by anyone...
"Regretful?"
"No... I just feel bad for them."
"No matter how good the surface work is, it can't hide the core. Aina, you're lucky you realized it, aren't you?"
He smiled and gave her a thumbs-up. Looking at the beautiful cross-dressing Iori, Aina Yoshiwara's face turned red. She quickly slapped her cheeks to avoid being swayed.
"Now, let's watch the show!"
"Mhm!"
On the other side of the stage, Kudou was a little confused. Azusa was a member of the Pab Club, so it was strange for her to choose him over that blond guy. But what's done is done. He was sure the Pab Club couldn't do anything about it!
Thinking this, he straightened his back and looked at the frozen Kōhei Imamura. He apologized with a mocking shake of his head. "I'm sorry things turned out this way—"
"But everyone's skill level is different~ You'll find someone who's right for you!"
"You said... skill level is different, pfft... someone right for me, huh."
Kōhei Imamura's shoulders trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.
"!!!"
Completely petrified, the dark-skinned Kudou sensed something was wrong the moment he saw the blond guy's expression. He tried to pull away and retreat. But Azusa's hand held him tight. He couldn't move an inch no matter how hard he tried!
"Ha... hahahaha..."
Azusa Hamaoka also couldn't hold back anymore. She reached up and pulled on her purple hair, pulling the entire thing off!
"Wahahahahaha!!!"
Miyazawa Yu, holding Kudou's hand, jumped onto the stage. He laughed so hard his face contorted, and he tensed his entire body. The clothes Azusa had lent him and his sportswear underneath both ripped to shreds. An aura of masculinity and muscles instantly filled the air, and his pitch-black trunks stood out like a sore thumb!
"!?"
His brain crashed. Looking at the muscular man in front of him, the dark-skinned Kudou's pupils shrank to their smallest. He felt like his eyes had just been violated. But what made him even more desperate was that he had no way to fight back against the real muscles in front of him. He could only be helplessly hugged by the naked man, his head pressed between two pectorals.
He then watched in despair as Miyazawa Yu grabbed the host's microphone and loudly declared to the entire audience:
"I'm so sorry! I'm a boy! But I will definitely make Kudou happy!"
