Another Confession?

The crowd of students surrounding them went into a giant uproar due to Kyōka's sudden, surely unexpected, confession. Most of the students present were naturally girls, and they being both more emotional than boys and having an innate liking towards cringey, cliché situations, were ecstatic to see such a scene, straight out of a drama happening in front of them in real time.

How could they not be excited!? This was like a dream come true scenario happening for most of the crowd present. Everyone had a glint adorning their eyes, expectant of what Kyle would respond as an answer to the dragon of power's confession. Would he accept it and they would get the first power couple of their school, or would he plainly refuse!?

Neither happened; what did happen was Kyle, grabbing Kyōka by the wrists with an angry, almost wrathful expression and dragging her to a secluded spot. Kyōka herself seemed composed, not struggling as the said events happened to her, moreover, it felt she was enthusiastic about it, grinning at Kyle's actions.

"Nobody follows us, don't you even dare to do it, more so in secrecy, heed my earnings, otherwise I don't need to remind you of the consequences!!" bellowed Kyle before dragging Kyōka to who knew where, his reverberating shout was loud enough for everyone on the hallway to hear his warnings, loud and clearly, almost making every single one of them shiver in fright from the tone of malevolence he used to declare the last part of his speech.

His intimidating tactics were successful, a forgone conclusion given his infamy about such matters. Nobody even dared to think of interrupting their intimate time together. Kyle was sufficiently infamous for not having any hesitation whatsoever to deliver punishment and beatings to girls. It was like he had no mercy or inhibitions in delivering adequate cruelty to the fairer sex.

This could be said to be partially true, since he truly was averse to such inhibitions, but there was a catch, such a case was only true to those girls who would either annoy Kyle or would go out of a certain line. Seeing Kyle drag Kyōka to somewhere, this time no rumors were made. Even with his infamy, Kyle was extremely popular with the girls and his otherwise polite and friendly outlook was bare for all to see, so they didn't think that he would do anything drastic to Kyōka.

Most only thought that he was embarrassed and only wanted privacy for such matters, some extremists believed that he just wanted to beat her up, but none believed he would do something disgusting to Kyōka. Just roughen her up a bit.

Strangely Kyle's dominant and infamous side only made it easier for some girls to like him even more, some were even wet from seeing his earlier display, sighing breathily with equal part lust and disappointment while looking at Kyle's departing figure; disappointment due to such a prime candidate for boyfriend, and more private matters, getting stolen in front of their eyes by the authoritative Ryū.

Dragging Kyōka to a secluded spot, he hurled her towards the wall and slammed his right palm on the wall, extremely near Kyōka's face, trying to intimidate her. The wall cracked as a result of the power he used to do such an act, further reinforcing the intimidation tactic was his blood red eyes nailing Kyōka with a wrathful gaze.

Now, his tactics would've worked flawlessly if it were to be a normal girl he was pulling this off against, they would, expectedly, have been extremely afraid and would've downright screamed from fright. Unluckily his opponent happened to be Kyōka, who was just grinning savagely at Kyle's display, smirking mockingly at his attempt, her expression was a tell-tale sign that she had seen through him completely. "Dragging me into an empty corner while slamming the wall to make me afraid..oh, my dear Kyle, this will only work on little girls, not me, you should know this already, so I-i'm b-being rejected right?"

Seeing her grin and the composed self she was showcasing, he became surprised. It seemed that Kyōka was expecting this scenario, he didn't like the grin she was displaying, it was the grin of an individual who was sure that everything was going according to their plan and Kyle. He was a little surprised to see her this calm as hated it, nevertheless, he still replied. "Of course, I am! But seeing your expression, and knowing you, you're not going to give up right?"

"That's right, I'm sooooo surprised that you guessed!" Kyōka mocked Kyle with a slight grin on her face, which slowly morphed into a soft smile as she kept gazing at him.

Seeing her look at him like that, he could only sigh tiredly, his tone was of utter helplessness as he replied to her with a set of inquiries. "Really? What's up with you and Meru... didn't I already tell you guys that I have a girlfriend already?"

"I'm aware of that, but so what? Does the law state that I can't like someone who already has a girlfriend? The answer is no. You know, this is my first time experiencing these feelings, I can't say whether it's good or bad for me, I can only say that... It's like a bittersweet experience. I know that it's wrong, but I don't want to give up these feelings I hold for you, they are too genuine and significant to me to do that at this point. If you were to ask me how did I fall for you? I wouldn't be able to answer, I myself am unaware of that fact, it's just after you defeated me repeatedly, I paid more attention to you, interacted more with you, and in between those talks, playful banters and mischievous back and forths, I came to realize that I'm attracted to a weirdo like you, which slowly evolved into this dynamic...geez.

"....I don't know if I should be happy or offended, but, *sigh.. I don't care anymore, do whatever you guys want, this is too troublesome for me, seriously you girls will be the death of me I tell you." Sighing again, he started scratching his head, his thoughts a jumble and his psyche in perpetual confusion, as he pondered. 'Why did I suddenly get popular with girls all of sudden? It would be one thing if I were to actively do things to achieve that front, but I didn't, so why am I passively making girls fall in love with me? Why does it feel like the aura of harem protagonists hailing from the fan fiction novels I've read? No, no, what am I thinking, I am not someone like that..... right?'

He was really doubting his existence right now, questioning his purpose, all that happened to him till now was too good to be true, there was something terribly wrong, a nagging feeling he was having that something was terribly wrong with everything and just as he was about to delve deeper into it….

[[ Re-Write ]]

A command was made, reality rewritten and Kyle being subjected to the use of said command, instantly forgot what he was thinking just looking blankly ahead while rapidly blinking his eyes in confusion. All the while, two students, adorning the uniforms of the 3rd year of Nango-Kuren High School, were silently watching all of this happening.

Their existence was unstable, their presence unfathomable, flickering between reality and something… more. The one using said command slowly retracted their gaze, turning around and gazing at the other figure overseeing this particular scene, they disappeared from existence soon after. The other figure just kept on staring ahead, their gaze unfocused, looking at something far ahead and not at the same time, before, they too flickered away from existence.

In between all this Kyōka was still replaying what Kyle had said in her mind, temporarily letting her eyes off Kyle because of the sheer shock she felt from hearing the weirdo's reply. 'The way he said those words, it's like he's giving me permission to chase him? As Meru said.. making him accept harem is the best way for us all, at least this way I can be together with him…'

"Hey, why not create a harem yourself? Though the idea of sharing a man is… disheartening to say the least, but if it means being able to be with you and receive your love, I'll be glad to join any polygynous harem you'd create" Kyōka uttered after pondering silently for a while, it seemed being rejected by him was the last nail in the coffin for her, for her to approve of the idea of sharing Kyle.

Kyle was rooted in his spot, just gawking at Kyōka in pure disbelief, first it was Meru, now Kyōka, never did he believe that this unruly possessive girl would suggest something like this. 'For F*ck's sake, are the girls of this world all this open? Two of them even suggested that I create a harem already.. should I create one though? No no why am I even thinking of making one!? I have a cute and beautiful girlfriend already… why would I go on my way and cheat on her with a harem! Though the prospect of it is tantalizing, it's nothing but a progressive source of problems…'

Kyle had his own reasons for not pursuing harem. It started from the first time he had thought of such an idea, but an endless influx of cons made him reluctantly ditch it. But in summary there were 3 reasons.

1. His low self esteem -

Growing up in a perpetual set of loneliness and isolation, coupled with his average set of skills, he had developed a low self esteem. A kind of Inferiority Complex, which hindered in his thoughts of having a harem. This problem was now practically non-existent after receiving his system, so this wasn't a hindrance anymore.

2. The general jealousy and venomous rivalry between harem mates -

Being in a part of a harem, jealousy and rivalry between its members was a common occurrence. To curb that one would need to make a harem where there was harmony and a bond of love and trust between all the members of a harem, not just between Kyle and his harem members. Kyle, himself felt that he was unable to usher that prosperity and harmony without the use of mind control or some similar aspects. The disharmony and infighting seen in the harems held in the historical figures of his previous life also helped him come to the conclusion that harmony in a harem was impossible. This also ceased to be a problem, both because the girls themselves were offering to start a harem in his name and also because he himself thought that he should maybe try and form said bond with his own methods. He came to believe if others were unable it didn't mean that he too had to fail, he could be successful too.

3. His lovable cute and sexy girlfriend Tohru -

In all honesty, this was by far the main reason Kyle was adamant in not having a harem, no matter how lucrative that prospect seemed to be, doubly so by seeing the quality of girls being attracted to him. Tohru, in all sense of the words, was the girl of his dreams. She was everything he could ever hope for and more, her beauty being unrivaled by far also helped stroke his ever growing love for her. He just didn't want to make that girl suffer. Even if it meant abandoning some of his hopes and dreams. He could already picture it, her accepting this proposal yet hiding the pain she may feel, he still remembered the forced smile and trembling gaze she had adorned when he actively flirted with Lucoa. This became the sole reason for his refusals till now, no matter how much he just desired to set up a harem. He was a male after all, and no sane male having conditions and prospects like this, coupled with the lineup of girls offered to him, would ever say no to a harem.

"Sure- I mean no way, there is no way I'd do that." Was the reply of Kyle, for a moment his innermost desire was leaked and Kyōka wasn't one to let go of that opportunity.

"Pfft- ahaha you just said 'Sure'! Clearly, you're not really against creating a harem huh...but I'm also serious about my decision you know... as long as I can be with you then… "

"Wait, stop it's not that easy, but still since you said it like this, I'll be honest with you, I actually desire for a harem." admitted Kyle while sighing. For the first time he had let his true desire out seeing the savage girl's sincere face filled with longing for him.

"Then, why not create one?"

Kyle smiled bitterly, looking at her for a second before replying with a firm tone. "I have my reasons, Kyōka. My situation is more complicated than you think, but we'll see..let's stop talking about this, okay? This is getting out of hand."

Kyōka shook her head refusing to let it go, but ultimately she did. "Not really, to me this is a very important matter, but if you're going to insist on it, I'll let this slide, now… am I still rejected?"

"Yes.."

"They say that getting rejected hurts like hell, but how come it made me more relieved than being hurt, why is this? Hmm.. perhaps because you didn't really reject me."

"But I did."

"No, you dumbo, you are rejecting the notion of harem, you now being okay with it, just spells that you want to create a harem and you want me to be in it, no need to be shy about it." Stopping midway she leapt at Kyle and kissed his right cheek before separating from him while adding with a charming smile. "Thanks, for giving me a chance, weirdo."

Kyōka left afterwards, the smile never leaving her face as she walked away, meanwhile Kyle silently touched his right cheek, around the place where she had planted that quick peck, her lips were really soft. "Damn… why are the girls of this world so bold? At this rate if I keep rejecting them. I would really become a pussy...sigh* what should I do now? Why am I being subjected to these troubles?"

---

The news spread to the entire school, creating an uproar of much bigger intensity than it did in the hallway, there were basically 2 reasons behind it.

The first reason being Kyōka, the dragon of power herself lowered herself and confessed her feelings to a guy. This was a scenario previously thought out to be impossible to every single member of the Nango-Kuren High School. Her arrogance, coupled with her savagery and prideful exterior made it certain to everyone that she would never put someone in her eyes if they weren't strong enough for her attention, much less falling in love, then confessing herself to said guy, everything seemed too good to be true.

The second reasoning however, made everything that transpired fall right into place, making it believable. Because the man she confessed to was none other than Kyle. He was a legendary figure whose track record was able to awe anyone who ever wished to gleam at it. From beating the strongest fighters of the school on his first day, to scoring a perfect score in the semester exams. He was the perfect guy, his charisma, power, friendly attitude, coupled with his dominant aura had made him the prince charming and perfect boyfriend candidate for most of the girls studying in the school comprising all 3 years. Hence, it had been a matter of time for many as to when something like this would occur and it did.

Meanwhile Meru who heard this couldn't help but grin widely in amusement. "So she confessed and she even did it in public…. After that he dragged her somewhere... knowing that guy he probably rejected Kyōka.."

Speak of the devil and it would appear, such was the case when Kyōka appeared near the place where Meru was staying. "Kyōka, let me guess you came here for 'that'?"

Meru stared at Kyōka with a smug smile, meanwhile Kyōka grinned back at her in approval while replying. "Yeah, I can't believe that one day I would be working with you like this..but if it means being with him, I'll join in that harem plan of yours."

"Great! Welcome to the team~!"

"....I don't see any point for you to say that."

"Come on, don't be a killjoy, it's just fun, see just a few days ago you said something along the lines of 'Are you crazy?' to me, but now look, you still joined anyway, didn't you?"

"Tsk, things just happened...that guy is just irresistible, so tell me, what are you going to do now that I've joined in your little plan." Kyōka smirked with an expectant glint flashing in her eyes.

"About that….. you'll know soon enough." Meru smiled widely, her grin so creepy that a certain pink haired girl from an ecchi anime world would surely point out that she had finally met her kin.

---

Somewhere in the school premise, Kyle suddenly sneezed hard. "A-chou! Why do I feel shivers run down my body so suddenly?"

"Master?"

"No, it's nothing.."

"Okay then, please don't be rough next time master..it really hurts when you do 'that' so hard." Ayane whined with a flustered shy look.

"..." Kyle was speechless, rapidly looking left and right to see if someone had heard her speak, sighing that nobody did, he just looked at her weirdly. The way she muttered those words made it seem that he was doing something lewd to her.

In actuality what she meant was for him to be gentle in his attempts, when he punched her in the stomach, it was a necessary step in helping her master the breathing technique in the shortest, most efficient and effective way possible.

Such was to be expected, she was an ecchi manga character after all, the most pure things could be made lewd when they were uttered by her, and the expressions she was making… she was just asking to get a rough fuck, banging her till no tomorrow.

As he kept guiding her, for the third time today he questioned any ROB in existence that may be hearing him. 'What in hell is wrong with the girls of this world?'

Unknown to him and everyone, two pairs of eyes, obscured in between reality and nothingness, were just looking at everything in amusement.
