"Was that girl your friend just now?" After Maple, the tenacious Student Council President, finally let go of Alex after he grudgingly retracted his earlier statement, she noticed Nina Tsubaki had left. She frowned.
"Isn't that too reckless? Even if she's a friend, the fewer people who know about this, the better. What if she accidentally tells someone..."
"She's practically family; she wouldn't do that."
"Family?" Maple eyed Alex suspiciously, then let her gaze linger on Yukina Serizawa for a moment. "She's not, like, in that kind of relationship with you, too, is she?"
Counting Yukina, this guy is juggling multiple girlfriends?!
Maple's eyes widened, about to launch into a critique, but she was interrupted by Yukina Serizawa. "Alex, even though that transfer student is... gone, Nina-san was still under the hypnotic influence when she arrived."
"Indeed, that's the key point," Alex nodded, crossing his arms. "In other words, except for us few, the entire student body and faculty are still immersed in the 'Sex Instructor' hypnosis."
"Isn't that terrible?" Maple was successfully distracted, covering her mouth in alarm. "We have to figure out a way to return them to normal!"
As she spoke, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Alex. After all, among the people here, he was the only one with a superpower. Surely, the superpowered Alex could handle it, right?
"Why should I do that? It sounds like a huge hassle. I don't owe any of those people anything," Alex shrugged, murmuring indifferently. "Anyway, this level of hypnosis is harmless."
If he thought about it, aside from the 'Sex Instructor' influence, the students and teachers were acting just like normal people, with no significant changes compared to before.
"How can you say that?! And I'm the Student Council President of St. Jo's Academy," Maple patted the 'Student Council' armband on her sleeve. "It is necessary to eliminate this strange influence and atmosphere!"
"Then go for it! I don't have high hopes for you, but I'll support you morally—"
Alex gave her a thumbs-up, which just made Maple puff out her cheeks and glare at him gloomily. Isn't this guy going to help me?
"Maple," Rin tugged her sister's sleeve. The usually silent, stoic girl's voice was quite pleasant. "Ignore him."
"Huh?"
"Alex has a point. It's harmless."
"..."
I didn't realize, Rin. You always look so taciturn, but you're actually quite manipulative?!
As for Yukina Serizawa, she naturally stood by Alex. If Alex said so, she would unconditionally support him.
Alex temporarily ignored the Maple and Rin twin sisters and began wandering around the instruction room. The room's furnishings were quite refined, with tatami mats on the floor, a low table, and plenty of decorative flowers and potted plants.
That Hajime Tanaka must have spent a lot of time meticulously maintaining the room, especially since it was meant for... those kinds of activities. How could he not put in the effort? Unfortunately, it was all now being appropriated by Alex.
Yes, appropriated by him.
"Yukina, what do you think of this room?"
"Huh? What about it?" Alex circled the room and came back to her side, his eyes mixed with amusement, which puzzled Yukina.
"The environment and facilities here are pretty good. We should just take over this room," Alex paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he grinned maliciously. "In fact, why don't we just inherit his last wish and become the new Sex Instructor? Doesn't that sound fun?"
The new Sex Instructor?
Yukina Serizawa was stunned. Maple and Rin also looked at him in surprise.
"Wait! Alex... what inherit his wish, what new Sex Instructor? What are you talking about?!" Maple panicked a little. He's not actually serious, is he?
"Isn't it great? I haven't joined any clubs, so why not just take over this activity club and make it our base of operations..."
"No!"
Before Yukina could voice her thoughts, Maple rushed in front of Alex and forcefully interrupted him. The girl, her face flushed, stood aggressively with her hands on her hips, locking eyes with Alex. "This lewd club... absolutely not!"
Her gaze seemed to say, I never thought you were this kind of person, Alex.
"I absolutely won't let you mess around like this! This shameless and reckless club must be disbanded! Disbandment is mandatory!"
Even if he possessed terrifying superpowers, Maple wouldn't stand by and watch him do something so... absurd.
"Why are you freaking out? While I may be an 'instructor,' I won't lay a hand on anyone else. I'll only give 'guidance' to my own girlfriends. Is that not allowed?"
Girlfriends...?
Just how many girlfriends does this guy have? I can't believe he's such a playboy!
"Oh right, Alex. This could be our meeting place, with Chi and the others... That's a great idea," Yukina Serizawa supported Alex's suggestion, thinking it was excellent. "Having a base of operations like this would be very convenient."
A base of operations? It's clearly a debauchery den!
"Even, even so, it's not allowed," Maple argued fiercely, her delicate and cute face completely red with frustration. She pursed her lips, her eyes conflicted. "Even if you don't do anything bad, gathering here for group debauchery is forbidden."
"Besides, the name, 'Sex Instruction Room'—it sounds outrageous! How can we allow it to exist?!"
Maple even stammered when saying the name. As the Student Council President, allowing such a club to exist would completely shame the Student Council.
"What's the big deal? Since that guy's hypnosis hasn't worn off, nobody will think there's anything wrong with the 'Sex Instruction Room.' Even the teachers agreed to it, you know~"
"No, no, no! It's absolutely forbidden! Just absolutely forbidden!" Maple vehemently shook her head. "As the Student Council President, I must disband this perverted club!"
"..."
"Sigh. I saved you guys, and this is how you treat your benefactor?"
Alex squinted at her. "Sigh, what a mistake I made. This must be what they call biting the hand that feeds you."
"What biting the hand that feeds you?! You're the one being reckless! If you wanted to change the name and start a different, legitimate club, I would agree, but this... absolutely not!"
Maple finished, grabbed her sister's hand, and rushed towards the door. She didn't forget to look back and scoff lightly. "I am the Student Council President, and I have the authority to stop you—"
With that, she made a face and dashed out of the room.
"Alex..."
Yukina Serizawa blinked beside him. "They..."
"It's fine," Alex waved his hand dismissively. "Let them go. This club room belongs to us anyway. It's spacious and refined, and from now on, it will be our meeting spot."
At this, Alex's playful, wicked smile returned. "At least we won't have to sneak off to the library every day anymore."
Swoosh.
The black-haired girl blushed.
Yukina Serizawa wiggled her slender body, lowering her voice shyly. "Actually, the library was nice too. After all, there are very few students there..."
"..."
Seriously? You're addicted to being watched, aren't you?
