"...Kisaragi Rin!"
The sleep-inducing lecture abruptly stopped, replaced by a voice filled with an icy aura.
Kisaragi Rin jolted awake from his dream, quickly glanced at the situation in the university classroom, and reluctantly stood up.
Like a giant beast awakening, Kisaragi Rin, standing nearly two meters tall—195 cm to be precise—had black hair and black eyes, deeply defined muscle lines, broad shoulders, exuding a certain JoJo-esque vibe.
Kisaragi Rin secretly glanced at his deskmate, Kato Megumi, who seemed particularly petite next to him.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Kisaragi Rin winked.
"I've already called you many times."
Kato Megumi's expression was calm, and she responded to Kisaragi Rin with her eyes.
It was Kirisu-sensei's class, a bit troublesome; he was going to be called into the office.
The students in the middle of the classroom were trembling. With an icy-aura-emitting teacher standing in front and Kisaragi Rin, like a fierce beast, standing behind, they were almost in tears from the pressure.
Finally, after Mafuyu Kirisu used her icy gaze for a few seconds.
"Kisaragi Rin, come to my office after class."
Mafuyu Kirisu spoke, then turned around and continued her history lesson.
…
Class was over in a flash. Kisaragi Rin gave Kato Megumi a reassuring gesture and followed Kirisu-sensei's retreating figure.
Upon arriving at the office with Kirisu-sensei, the originally somewhat lively office instantly fell silent.
The other teachers lowered their voices, not daring to look at Kisaragi Rin.
Kisaragi Rin was actually not a delinquent, nor had he ever done anything bad.
As for why they were so afraid?
Because on his first day of school, he completely cleared out the yakuza near the school. This feat, coupled with his ferocious physique, earned him a "formidable reputation."
Because he was too lazy to explain, the rumor that he was a gang member spread thoroughly.
Mafuyu Kirisu saw this scene, and her whole body exuded an even colder aura. She sat in her chair, staring at Kisaragi Rin.
But due to her height, Kirisu-sensei had to crane her neck to stare into Kisaragi Rin's eyes.
From Kisaragi Rin's perspective, it wasn't scary at all, and even a little cute.
Kirisu-sensei still insisted on using her gaze to pressure Kisaragi Rin, but Kisaragi Rin felt nothing from the gaze of this teacher, nicknamed "The Cold Ice Beauty." Instead, he took the opportunity to observe her.
Her eyes were azure blue, with small pupils. She had waist-length cherry-colored hair, a straight fringe, and peculiar braided sideburns. She was tall and slender, dressed in a dark business suit, a dark pencil skirt, and red high heels.
Even though Kisaragi Rin's aesthetic standards were quite strict, he admitted that Kirisu-sensei was quite charming.
Humiliation. As a teacher, she couldn't even scare her student.
Thinking this, Mafuyu Kirisu stopped staring and spoke, as her neck was already starting to ache from craning it.
"Kisaragi Rin, is my class really that boring?"
"I'm sorry, Kirisu-sensei, I stayed up too late last night."
Kisaragi Rin chose to apologize directly. After a long period of interaction, this was the best way to deal with Mafuyu Kirisu.
"Kisaragi Rin, where do you spend your time?" Kirisu-sensei's expression softened slightly but remained cold, saying, "Although your grades are already quite good at Soubu University, there's still a long way to go if you want to further your studies at Tokyo University. You should spend more time on your studies."
"Kirisu-sensei, the karate tournament is about to start this year, and I want to train hard and strive for a good ranking," Kisaragi Rin thought for a moment, then added, "Moreover, getting a ranking makes it easier to further my studies at Todai; taking the regular entrance exam is very difficult."
"If you're short on money, I can lend it to you."
"Although I'd love to live off the teacher, it's better to achieve my goals on my own."
"Who said I wanted you to live off me?!" Mafuyu Kirisu's face was cold, and she pouted as she spoke.
"As a teacher, it's my responsibility to take care of my students."
"And you're already a sophomore in university; according to school regulations, you must join a club."
"The go-home club doesn't count."
Mafuyu Kirisu added, blocking Kisaragi Rin's retreat.
"In that case, don't blame me."
Kisaragi Rin slowly leaned closer to Mafuyu Kirisu and whispered in her ear.
"Mafuyu-chan, you wouldn't want your private image to be known by others, would you…?"
Due to that terrifying rumor, there were only a few teachers in this school who dared to let him into their office. Kirisu-sensei was one of them, not only because of her serious and responsible personality but also because she and Kisaragi Rin already knew each other.
As Kirisu-sensei's neighbor, Kisaragi Rin had long held a handle over her.
This teacher, known as "The Cold Ice Beauty" at school, was surprisingly messy at home. She couldn't clean or cook, and her room was quite cluttered, sometimes even piling up into a mountain of trash, completely contrary to her image outside.
"Humiliation."
Mafuyu Kirisu's cold expression broke, her eyes visibly flustered, and she let out a reluctant whimper.
At that time, there were cockroaches in her house, so she had no choice but to seek help from her neighbor. She never expected that Kisaragi Rin, who looked like he could run a horse on his shoulders, was actually her student, and so her secret fell into his hands.
"Hey, you brat, are you bullying Mafuyu again?"
A sudden voice came from behind, accompanied by a powerful punch.
Kisaragi Rin turned around and easily caught it, feeling the force that could cripple an ordinary person.
He retorted, "Ms. Hiratsuka, if you're so violent, you won't get married."
The person who came was none other than Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka, one of the only two teachers at Soubu University who dared to lay a hand on him, and a friend of Kirisu-sensei.
"Won't get married, won't get married, I was so close to succeeding in my blind date last week."
Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka had the same black hair and black eyes as Kisaragi Rin. She wore a cool white lab coat and had a good figure. She was muttering gloomily, constantly leaking the negative energy of an adult office worker.
Mafuyu Kirisu comforted Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka while secretly giving Kisaragi Rin a sharp look, warning him not to reveal this matter.
"Shizuka, Kisaragi Rin was just joking."
"I wasn't joking."
Kisaragi Rin had no doubt that Ms. Hiratsuka was single and would remain single for a long time.
"You brat, do you want a beating?"
Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fist and raised it threateningly.
"Anyway, you can't beat me."
Kisaragi Rin reached out and pressed down Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist.
Although Ms. Hiratsuka's iron fist was powerful, her hand still felt soft to the touch.
"You brat."
Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka's head showed an angry vein mark. As if she thought of something, a hint of flattery suddenly appeared on Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka's face, and she said with a smile, "I happen to have a club here, do you want to join?"
"There's a beautiful club president to accompany you."
"I refuse."
Looking at Ms. Hiratsuka's expression, Kisaragi Rin quickly realized this was a "conspiracy."
"Eh, at least come and take a look with me."
"Then you'll just directly arrange for me to join some strange club."
Kisaragi Rin said mercilessly.
"Besides, I don't have much time left."
The so-called lack of time, of course, didn't mean Kisaragi Rin had cancer, but that the supermarket's special discount items were about to go on sale.
The last two boxes of discounted beef!
Shaking off the two troublesome teachers, Kisaragi Rin rushed to the supermarket at top speed and successfully snatched the last two boxes of discounted beef from someone else's hands.
These items, past their best-by date, were more than half cheaper than regular prices, yet tasted almost the same. They were a hotly contested commodity for many with limited budgets.
"Today is truly lucky."
Kisaragi Rin, carrying his groceries, pulled out his phone and opened Line.
He found a cute cat avatar.
"Mafuyu-chan, want to come to my place for sukiyaki today?"
Hmm, bribe Mafuyu-chan with a sukiyaki dinner.
He usually had to work part-time; how could he have time to join any club?
After Mafuyu-chan ate, he would tell her about the club matter, and Mafuyu-chan would surely be too embarrassed to ask him to join any club again.
Soon, Mafuyu Kirisu replied.
"Don't call me Mafuyu-chan."
She didn't mention the sukiyaki, so it seemed she agreed.
"Got it, Mafuyu-chan."
"Humiliation."
…
"Damn it, it got away."
A person dressed in black, like a Yakuza member, looked grim.
"I didn't expect it to be an Xenomorph."
"Find it quickly; that quota has been set by the higher-ups."
The black-clad man, who looked like a junior cadre, extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
After putting away the "Construction Site, No Entry" sign, the crowd nearby finally noticed there was a small alley there.
