Chapter 22

Under the clear blue sky, brightly shining sun, and slowly falling petals of the sakura tree, Yuuji and Aika walked around the sakura-covered school grounds that they will be attending starting from today.

They went a little bit early to see the school, hoping to meet up with Miyuki and Tatsuya, who came early for the entrance ceremony rehearsals that Miyuki must join as the freshman representative.

Moreover, Aika had been really excited to see the massive and beautiful school building she had only ever seen from the anime. Enough to only drain Yuuji five times last night before heading to bed right before midnight.

Well… When Yuuji changed into his uniform, Aika failed to reign in her desires at the combination of both of her fetish, muscles + uniform, and drained him twice before they head out.

Because of that, they were a bit late from their promised meeting time with Tatsuya and Miyuki, and were now in the process of searching for them.

They walked around with Aika hugging Yuuji's left arm, burying it deep into her cleavage without a care in the world, and searched for the two while also using this chance to sightsee the magnificent building that would be their school starting from now.

"Wow~ As expected of one of the most prestigious schools in Japan. It's beautiful~!"

"It really is… And it's really massive. As expected of a school for the elites."

As they walked, Yuuji noticed a sakura petal falling on Aika's head.

"Hehe~ Then there must be a lot of high class ladies~ Aren't you excited Yu-!!!"

As Aika turned her gaze towards Yuuji in a teasing manner, her entire body froze when she saw how close his unfair face was to her.

Then with a soft, gentle touch, Yuuji picked the sakura petal off her head and smiled softly.

"Hm? Sorry, there was a sakura petal on your head and picked it up so I didn't hear what you said. Can you repeat that?"

Her cheeks blushed redly and she quickly averted her face away.

"N-Nothing! It was nothing! Come on, let's go search for Tatsuya!!!"

"...Alright."

Slightly confused by the strangeness of her actions, Yuuji quietly let Aika lead him by his arm and silently enjoyed the heavenly sensation of her breasts.

Looking towards the row of sakura trees in its peak, Yuuji noticed two girls a slight distance away from him and Aika, staring at them in a daze and flushed cheeks.

He knew full well what those expressions meant by now, so he consciously made an effort to not smile despite knowing full well how rude it was. But, he still nodded his head slightly to them, making them blush even more.

Right then, he felt a tug to his left arm. He turned his attention to it, and saw Aika looking at him with her cheeks inflated and her lips pouting.

"Hey, how could you seduce random girls when you're with me? I would've understood if it's a girl we "know", but you can't seduce random girls!"

"What made you think I'm seducing them… I was just being polite… I didn't even smile at them."

"Hmmm~ So you're saying you're a natural born lady killer? Well, I guess that makes sense, given your face."

"...I never insinuated that kind of thing."

Yuuji let out a small sigh as he looked at Aika apologetically.

"I'm sorry. I should've just ignored them knowing my situation."

Aika looked at him for a moment before replacing her pout with a smile.

"It's fine. I just don't want you to become a playboy who'll fuck every girl he meets."

"I will never do that. You know that full well, don't you?"

Yuuji looked Aika straight in the eyes. His expression, fully serious without a hint of deceit.

"Hehe~ Yes, I do know. But, it's still better for you to not tempt them and break their heart later. I'm not asking you to ignore all the girls, but just try to be careful."

Aika slowly raised her hand and touched his cheek.

"After all, this face alone is enough to make any girl head over heels for you. Okay?"

Yuuji held the hand that was touching his face and nuzzled his face with a soft smile.

"I understand. I want you to be careful too, okay? I don't know what I'll do to the guy who'd try to seduce you… At the very least, let's just say that you'll be using your Perfect Heal on him if he does."

Just the thought of some guy trying to seduce his beloved girlfriend while ogling her sexy body with his disgusting gaze was enough to make his blood boil and plan a magic training session with a "live" target.

Seeing his serious expression, Aika couldn't help but giggle at his words.

"Ehehe, do you think I could fall in love with anyone else after seeing that smile of yours?"

"I hope not. Because I'll never let you go."

"Mm, I know~ Don't worry, you've seduced me into becoming your personal plaything forever~!"

Aika grinned and raised her eyebrows up and down teasingly at him.

"Hah… How many times do I have to tell you not to say it that way? You're my beloved girlfriend."

"Hehe~ But sometimes is fine, right~ It's kinky~"

"...Only when we're in bed."

"Lady in the streets, slutty in the sheets~? Got it~"

"..."

With Aika now giggling as she dragged the speechless Yuuji by his arm, they continued to walk around the school grounds until something, or rather, someone stole their attention.

"Ah, there he is! Oh, and he's talking to Saegusa-senpai!"

"Mm, it seems like everything is still the same as in the anime."

Yuuji let out a small sigh of relief upon confirming that everything still progressed just like in the anime despite his and Aika's presence in the world.

While he, Aika, and Tatsuya do intend on changing the future and decrease the number of victims, they don't intend on changing anything else since it might cause an unpredictable ripple effect to the future they know.

"Woooww~ She's so beautiful~!"

"...Oi, your nose is flaring."

"Yuuji! I give you permission to seduce her! Bring her to your bed! That way, I can also enjoy those beautiful white thighs and premium boobs~ Kekekeke~"

"...This is the first time I've heard anyone telling their boyfriend to seduce a girl so she can have her way with them."

"Let's go to her!"

"Wha- Wait! Listen to me!"

Dragged by Aika, the two quickly made their way to where Tatsuya and Mayumi were talking and made their presence known.

Immediately, Mayumi's eyes went wide upon noticing their presence and appearance.

Mayumi was a beautiful girl by all meanings of the word and she was fully aware of it. However, the girl who was brilliantly smiling and jogging towards her easily surpassed her in terms of beauty. Even compared to the other heiresses and ladies of high ranking families she had met in her life, she was easily one of the, if not, the most beautiful girl she had ever met.

As for the man… Mayumi failed to find words that could even begin to describe how handsome and charming he was despite her eloquence. The epitome of masculine beauty. It was the best way she could describe the adonis of a man before her.

"Hello~! Good morning, Tatsuya~! Who are you talking to~?"

"Ah, Aika. Good morning. This is Saegusa Mayumi-senpai. She was kind enough to strike a conversation with me when I was roaming around aimlessly."

"Oh, I see~!"

Aika let go of Yuuji's arm and greeted her with a proper bow, shocking Mayumi with her elegance.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Saegusa-senpai~ My name is Kiryu Aika, a new student who will be attending this First Magical Highschool starting from today. Please take care of me in the future."

"A-Ah, it is a pleasure to meet you as well, Kiryu-san. As Shiba-kun said, I am Saegusa Mayumi, the student council president of this school. If you experience any troubles or difficulties, please feel free to visit the student council's office and find me."

"Yes~ Thank you very much~"

Then, trying her best to maintain her normal smile before the most stunning man she had ever met in her life, Mayumi turned towards Yuuji as he bowed courteously towards her.

"It is a pleasure to be your acquaintance. My name is Tsubakihara Yuuji, a new student of this school starting today as well. Please take care of me in the future."

Yuuji rose up with a polite smile adorning his face. Even though he remembered the conversation he just had with Aika clearly, he just couldn't not smile and act rudely before the student council president and a member of the ten master clans.

Moreover, she is also someone who he'll be interacting with more in the future if everything goes according to the future they know, so it'd be bad for him if he treated her rudely in their first meeting.

Yuuji looked at her in the eyes to see how she reacted. As he expected, she was stunned for a moment. Her cheeks blushing with a tinge of red and pink.

But, she quickly regained herself quicker than other girls, and smiled politely in return.

"Yes, I'm pleased to meet you as well, Tsubakihara-kun. Please take care of me in the future as well."

Just then, they heard a voice seemingly belonging to a little girl calling out to Mayumi with her title.

"President! President! The rehearsal is starting! Ah…"

The little girl with short orange hair ran up to her before stopping and freezing at the sight of the three, specifically, two of the three students she had never met before with appearances beyond belief.

Immediately, her face burst into a crimson red blush the moment she met eyes with Yuuji and immediately lowered her head in a panic.

"P-P-Please excuse me for barging in!!!"

"A-Ah, there is no need to apologize, senpai. Well then, it seems like it is time for us to leave. Please excuse us, Saegusa-senpai."

Placing a hand on Aika and Tatsuya's back, Yuuji led the two away, leaving Mayumi and Azusa staring at him in a daze.

Having gone quite a distance away, Aika twirled around and hugged Yuuji's arm once again and grinned at him teasingly.

"Oh my~ You just made such a cute senpai that flustered~ What a sinful man~"

"...How was that my fault? Hah… It'll definitely be awkward when we meet again."

"I believe so. That was Nakajou Azusa-senpai, a member of the student council. She's someone who we will definitely meet again in the future."

"Hah… Yes. Thank you for reminding me, Tatsuya…"

"Hehehe~ Don't worry, Yuuji! I'll help you get along with her~! I also want a legal loli in my feast after all, kekeke~"

"...I'll ignore that last part for now. Let's just walk around a bit more so I can take my mind off things and go to the hall for our entrance ceremony."

"Alright."

"Okaaaay~"

--------------------------------X--------------------------------

Numerous newly admitted students of the National Magic University Affiliated First High School had filled the hall where the matriculation ceremony would be conducted when Yuuji, Aika, and Tatsuya entered.

Their appearance quickly garnered the attention of everyone around them, regardless of gender, as usual. But perhaps due to the prestigious and formal setting they're currently in, no one fortunately seemed to be ill-mannered enough to approach them directly. Thus, aside from shrieks and whispers that quickly rippled throughout the crowd around them, they were able to search for a seat peacefully.

Going up to the second floor, where they knew there'd be open seats, the three sat down on the balcony of the second floor, the same seats that Tatsuya sat on in the anime.

And as expected, countless eyes were still focused on them. But this time, with a mix of shock and confusion as well when they saw the emblem on Yuuji and Aika's uniform.

Although not spoken, there was a clear separation between Course 1 and Course 2 students.

The Course 1 students, who had a pure white flower in their emblem, filled the majority of the seats in the first floor, where the acoustics and view of the stage were better. While the Course 2 students, with blank emblems on their uniform, filled the majority of the second floor.

Thus, for Yuuji and Aika, who weren't only Course 1 students but who had also garnered countless attention with their appearance, to sit on the second floor surprised quite a lot of students.

However, the three didn't seem to mind it in the least. Yuuji and Tatsuya were chatting like normal, while Aika looked around the hall in awe, comparing it to her school, Kuoh Academy's hall.

While Kuoh Academy was a prestigious school as well, considering it is located in what would be considered the outskirts instead of a major city, it is still less grand than the amazing hall she's in right now. Well, it wasn't a fair comparison in the first place, given the difference in technology of their worlds.

A few moments later, Aika saw two girls approaching her in her periphery.

"Excuse me. May we take these seats?"

Aika immediately turned to the voice, and as she expected, it was them!!! The two girls she must be friends with!!!

"Of course~! Please, take a seat~!"

Upon seeing her closer, both Mizuki and Erika widened their eyes for a moment and let out a small gasp.

They were both aware that she was a beauty upon seeing her figure from afar as well as the number of gazes she pulled. But, she was even more beautiful than they expected!

Even though they were both attracted to males, they couldn't help but admit how their heart skipped a beat when she smiled at them.

"T-Thank you!"

Still a bit shocked, the two took a seat beside her, trying to calm their hearts.

"My name is Kiryuu Aika~ It's nice to meet you too~"

"M-My name is Shibata Mizuki. It's nice to meet you as well!"

"And I'm Chiba Erika! Nice to meet you, Kiryuu-san"

Aika smiled brilliantly, trying to hold back her excitement from seeing the real life versions of the anime characters she watched. They were even more beautiful in real life!

"Mm~ Just call me Aika~! Can I call you Mizuki-chan and Erika-chan too?"

"Of course, Aika-san."

"Sure!"

Seeing the cute, timid girl that was Mizuki, and the cool, short-haired, tomboyish, yet also beautiful girl that was Erika, Aika couldn't help but begin fantasizing about them.

Umu umu~ A big breasted timid girl and a cool, tomboyish girl… and if we add Mayumi-senpai to the mix as well… Ufufufufu… Ufufufufu~

A glint appeared on the corners of her eyes as an idea came to mind.

"Ah, that's right~ Can I introduce you to my friends as well~?"

"Hm? Your friends?"

"Uhn! Oi, Yuuji, Tatsuya! Listen here!"

""Hm?""

Mizuki and Erika shifted their heads slightly to look past Aika, and they immediately froze the moment they saw Yuuji.

"Here! Meet my new friends~"

Yuuji looked past her and saw two girls that he instantly recognized.

"Ah, it is nice to meet you. My name is Tsubakihara Yuuji."

"My name is Tatsuya Shiba. It is nice to meet you as well."

"A-A-A-Ah, y-yes! I-I'm Shibata Mizuki! I-It's nice to meet you."

"N-Nn! I'm Chiba Erika. Nice to meet you."

Seeing Mizuki and Erika clearly becoming flustered and blushing up a storm the moment they saw Yuuji, Aika secretly celebrated in her mind for her success!

Now, she just needs to smooth their relationship over so that both of them become more comfortable with Yuuji. After all, she knew that Yuuji wouldn't get with someone unless they shared a close bond, and it'd be hard to form that bond if Mizuki and Erika were to be a mess every time they saw him.

"We will now begin the matriculation ceremony for the National Magic University Affiliated First High School."

After they chatted for a bit, a male's voice resounded throughout the hall, signaling the start of the ceremony.

Just like any other matriculation ceremony, it was filled with long speeches that Aika couldn't care about. So, she continued her chat with Mizuki and Erika with a smaller voice this time, bringing Yuuji into the conversation once in a while, and shut her ears from all the boring speeches until it was Miyuki's turn.

"Representative of the incoming class, Shiba Miyuki."

"Ah! It's Miyuki's turn!"

"Do you know her, Aika-san…?"

"Uhn! She's Tatsuya's little sister."

"Aahh… So that's why…"

Mizuki muttered under her breath, which was heard by Aika due to her enhanced senses. But, she feigned ignorance. She knew a sweet girl like Mizuki wouldn't bring harm to Miyuki or Tatsuya.

"As the sunlight streams gently, and the vivid cherry blossoms flutter on this gorgeous spring day, I feel elated and honored that my wish to be admitted to the prestigious National Magic University Affiliated First Highschool has come true. On behalf of the incoming students, and filled with pride of being a member of First Highschool…"

--------------------------------X--------------------------------

After the matriculation ceremony, Yuuji and Aika split up with Tatsuya, Erika, and Mizuki and headed to their class to see who their classmates would be.

Moreover, they're also quite curious in the class itself. After all, they're in a far more technologically advanced world than their own, and from what they've seen in the anime, it was extremely advanced.

Upon entering the class, all heads quickly turned towards them as they walked in. Their eyes all widened in shock, and gasps and whispers quickly filled the room.

Used to such reactions, Yuuji and Aika ignored it and took in the sight of the classroom before them. But, while they're also curious about their technologically advanced desks, their eyes immediately searched for people they could recognize from the anime. And it didn't take them too long to find two that stood out to them.

"Hello~! Are the seats beside yours taken yet~?"

Aika immediately approached the two girls staring at her in a daze. One was a brown-haired girl with cute little pigtails and a curvaceous figure that belied her cute, baby-face appearance, while the other was a black-haired girl with a seemingly deadpan expression.

Aaaah~ They're so cute~! They look even cuter in real life than in the anime~!!!

Snapped out of their daze, the brown-haired girl became flustered when Aika suddenly approached her and hurriedly answered her question.

"N-No! I-It's not taken!"

"Then, can we take these two beside yours~?"

"O-O-Of course! Please, by all means!"

The two nodded their heads, earning them an even more beautiful smile of the stunning beauty before them.

"Thank you~ Oooiii~! Yuuji, I got us some seats~! And it's beside two cute girls~!"

"O-Oi, don't raise your voice in a place like this!"

Yuuji sighed deeply and made his way to Aika. And as he came closer and closer, the two fell into a daze once more. Their eyes widened in shock from his appearance.

Upon reaching them, Yuuji also couldn't help but admire their beauties for a moment. Apart from Miyuki and Mayumi, who were undeniably stunning beauties in any standard, these two were far beyond average as well in terms of beauty. They were even more beautiful than their 2D counterparts.

"Thank you for going along with her request, and I'm very sorry if she troubled you in any way."

Yuuji said with an apologetic smile.

"What?! What do you mean? I didn't trouble you at all! Right?"

"Y-Yes! I-It was no trouble at all!"

"Yes."

"See?!"

Aika pouted, placing her hands on her waist as she glared at him. It was an extremely adorable gesture that Yuuji couldn't help but pet her head a little bit.

"Yes yes… Ah, forgive me for my late introductions. My name is Tsubakihara Yuuji. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Ah! That's right! My name is Kiryuu Aika~! Let's get along~"

"Y-Y-Yes! M-My name is Mitsui Honoka! I-It is a pleasure to meet you!"

"Ki-Kitayama Shizuku. Likewise."

"Hehe~ Can I call you Honoka-chan and Shizuku-chan? You can call me Aika too!"

"U-Uhn! Of course."

"Okay."

"Ah, please feel free to call me Yuuji as well."

"I-I understand! Y-Y-Yuuji-kun."

"Mm. Y-Yuuji."

Just then, the class erupted into another series of gasps and whispers coming from the direction of the doors.

Yuuji, Aika, Honoka, and Shizuku turned and looked, and saw yet another extremely beautiful girl entering the class. But in contrast to Aika's alluring and bewitching beauty, she exuded an air of purity, innocence, and a quality of being a "Yamato Nadeshiko".

"Ah! Miyuki~! We're here~!"

Miyuki turned towards them upon hearing Aika's voice and immediately made her way to them, excusing herself from the crowd before her politely.

"Hehe~ Are you done with your business~?"

"W-Well… Not exactly. When I told them I'll be meeting with you and Yuuji-kun, they followed along… It seems like they want to meet you and Yuuji-kun as well."

Yuuji and Aika followed the direction Miyuki was glancing at as she spoke and saw Mayumi as well as another boy they recognized but forgot the name of standing by her side.

"Eh? Saegusa-senpai? Why?"

"They were trying to recruit me into the student council, and it seems like Saegusa-senpai wishes to meet the two of you again after your interaction this morning."

"Aaah, that's right. We met her when she was talking with Tatsuya. But why does she want to meet us again…?"

Aika stared at Yuuji for a moment before lighting up with a sudden realization~ Her lips quickly turned into a teasing grin as she giggled inwardly.

Oh my oh my~! She fell even faster than expected~ Kekeke~ It seems like I'll be able to have a taste of my beautiful student council president-senpai much faster than I thought~

Noticing Aika's perverted grin, which Miyuki, Honoka, and Shizuku missed since they're staring at him, Yuuji gave her a quick chop on the head.

"Ouch!"

"I see… Well, no harm in hearing what they wanted to say. But before that, I want to introduce you to our new friends. Meet Mitsui-san and Kitayama-san."

"H-Hello! It is nice to meet you! My name is Mitsui Honoka!"

"I am Kitayama Shizuku. It's nice to meet you."

"It is very nice to meet you as well. My name is Shiba Miyuki. Let's get along well."

"Alright~ Now that we're all acquainted, let's all go meet your brother, Miyuki! That's okay with you right, Honoka-chan, Shizuku-chan?"

"Y-Yes!"

"Mm. We have nothing to do anyways."

"Great! Then, let's go~!"

The five then headed out of the class where they were met with Mayumi and the brown-haired boy standing beside her.

Upon seeing them, Mayumi's expression bloomed with a beautiful smile while the brown-haired boy froze, eyes widened in shock, before falling into a daze as she stared at Aika with blushing cheeks.

"It is nice to see you again, Yuuji-kun, Aika-san~ I hope I am not bothering you."

"It is nice to see you again, president. Is there something you need from us?"

Yuuji moved forward and stood in front of Aika, shielding her from the brown-haired boy's gaze, who snapped out of his daze. He immediately shifted gaze towards him and froze once again in shock for a moment before averting his gaze downward.

"Oh, it is nothing much~ I was just curious about the two freshmen course 1 students who seemed to be very close with Tatsuya-kun, a course 2 student."

"He has been a close friend of ours for quite a while, president."

"Oh, I see~ Ah, that's right. Please let me introduce him to you. He is Hattori Hanzou-kun, the vice-president of the student council."

"I see. It is nice to meet you, Hattori-senpai."

"A-Ah… Likewise."

Hanzou lowered his head and retreated back slightly from the sheer presence and pressure Yuuji emanated towards him.

He knew he was in the wrong for blatantly staring at a woman, no matter how stunning and beautiful she was. Even more if she was in a relationship. The shock of suddenly being in the presence of such a beautiful girl didn't give him an excuse to stare at her, and he deserved the enmity Yuuji emitted towards him.

But, this was the first time he had ever felt this kind of pressure. It was as if he was standing before a giant, or in the presence of a king. This sort of pressure… It was even far more suffocating than even the pressure Juumonji Kaitou exerted. And no one else seemed to realize it.

He was no ordinary man. Hanzou realized this immediately from just one interaction.

"Ah, that's right. We are all going to meet up with Tatsuya, but it seems like you have unfinished business with Miyuki. Shall we wait for you to finish your talk with her?"

"No, there's no need for that, Yuuji-kun~ How about we walk and talk, Miyuki-san~? Just until we meet Tatsuya-kun."

"Yes. I am fine with that, Saegusa-senpai."

"Then, let's go~"

With Mayumi leading the group with Miyuki by her side, followed closely by Hanzou, and Yuuji, Aika, Honoka, and Shizuku following behind them, they quickly gained a lot of attention from students as they walked through the hallways.

Not only was it due to Yuuji and Aika's appearance, but the presence of the student council president, her vice, and the beautiful freshmen representative who had just given a speech this morning also caused many eyes to turn towards them.

And the amount of attention only increased as they entered the area where course 2 classrooms were located

All of them unconsciously stepped aside, giving way for their group, as they stared in surprise, wondering what these high profiled course 1 students were doing here.

"Ah, it's Tatsuya! There's Erika and Mizuki too!"

"Onii-sama!"

Miyuki immediately made her way towards her brother after hearing Aika's words, followed closely by Aika as she dragged Honoka and Shizuku by their arms.

"Please excuse us, president."

Yuuji bowed his head towards Mayumi and followed after his friends.

"Ah, Miyuki. Are you done with your business with Saegusa-senpai, Miyuki?"

"A-Ah…"

"Yes, we are, Tatsuya-kun. We are just introducing ourselves to her for today."

Mayumi said with a soft smile as she approached Tatsuya and the others.

"P-President!"

"Then, we shall excuse ourselves first."

Hanzou widened his eyes and unintentionally raised his voice in shock. They were supposed to try and recruit the freshman representative to the council today, and potentially the two other excellent students who were walking with them right now.

But, Mayumi didn't even entertain his outburst and walked away.

"Kuh…"

His expression twisted into a pure display of disdain as he glared at Tatsuya before turning back and following after the student council president.

But as he walked past Yuuji, he felt a chill down his spine and froze as Yuuji leaned towards him and whispered.

"Tsubakihara-kun…"

Hanzou slowly turned towards him, fighting the pressure he was emanating from his sheer presence, and glared. But the moment he saw Yuuji's eyes, his body instinctively tried to take a step back before something seemed to hold him in place.

"I truly can't understand why everyone discriminates against those in the course 2 department. Even you, senpai, who I regard as an admirable student of this prestigious school. After all, course 2 students are still accepted into this school, Japan's top Magic University Affiliated High School, because they excel and possess superb talent in something else other than their magic power, aren't they? Is everyone so short sighted that they'd only see the weakness in someone else and not their strength?"

Hanzou clenched his teeth and fists as he listened to Yuuji's words.

"Well, I'm glad that at least Saegusa-senpai, our amazing student council president, and my friends don't have such prejudice. I'm sorry for holding you up and having you listen to my idle ponderings, senpai."

Hanzou glared at Yuuji one last time before turning away with a hmph and walking away.

Yuuji watched him as he walked away with his fists still clenched tightly, and turned towards his friends.

"Hm? What's wrong?"

Tatsuya, Erika, Mizuki, Honoka and Shizuku stared at him with widened eyes before they all broke into a smile.

"It's nothing. Thank you, Yuuji."

Tatsuya said with a small smile.

"I'm sorry if it makes you comfortable, but I'm just really tired of his attitude."

"You got him good, Yuuji! Though I can't believe you said all that to the vice president on your first day of school."

Erika placed her hands on her waist and smiled at him in amazement while Mizuki nodded her head to her words.

"Well, let's forget about that for now. Ah, that's right. We haven't introduced Kitayama-san and Mitsui-san to you guys."

"That's right~! Guys, meet our new friends we made in the class~!"
