Chapter 12: Publicly Stealing Her Heart?

##

**Seisho Academy, Grade 12, Class A—**

After a middle-aged teacher finished his speech, the door swung open, and a boy in a Seisho Academy uniform walked in with an air of nonchalance. His entrance left the students below stunned.

Silver hair, crystal blue eyes, handsome features, and extraordinary charisma—this newcomer was undeniably a heartthrob.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Shangguan Binghen, a transfer student from China. I look forward to getting to know all of you."

Shangguan Binghen scanned the room and finally focused on Marina Akizuki, who was staring at him in astonishment. He smiled slightly and introduced himself.

As soon as Shangguan Binghen finished his introduction, the previously quiet classroom burst into noise. The girls squealed with excitement, while the boys glared at Shangguan Binghen, wishing they could punch him in the face. Another strong competitor had appeared. Those without girlfriends wailed in despair, and those with girlfriends in the class gritted their teeth, noticing their girlfriends' delighted expressions as they looked at Shangguan Binghen.

"Alright, settle down, everyone. It's time for class."

The middle-aged teacher tapped the desk to calm the students down. Clearly, his authority was well-respected.

"Shangguan, you can take the seat at the back for now."

The teacher pointed to the back of the classroom, speaking kindly. He had a favorable impression of Shangguan Binghen, who was polite and well-behaved.

"Understood."

Shangguan Binghen nodded and walked to the back. As he passed by Marina, he gave her a gentle smile, acknowledging her.

"Damn it!"

A male student glared at Shangguan Binghen as he smiled at Marina. Seeing Marina's slightly flushed face and their familiar demeanor, his eyes widened, and he clenched his fists in anger.

Marina Akizuki, no wonder you won't let me touch you, not even hold your hand. So this is why! You've been seeing someone else behind my back—unforgivable!

"Hmm?"

As soon as Shangguan Binghen sat down, he sensed a hostile gaze. Frowning slightly, he looked over and saw an ordinary-looking boy glaring at him darkly.

"Ling'er, scan his information for me."

Shangguan Binghen murmured softly.

"Got it, Ling'er will handle it."

With a sweet voice, a virtual screen appeared before Shangguan Binghen's eyes.

**Human: Masato Ono**

**Age: 18**

**Fortune Value: 38**

**Evaluation: A minor character with relatively good luck, who succeeded in confessing to Marina Akizuki due to her gentle nature.**

"Fortune value of 38, not bad. But as the evaluation says, he's quite petty. He glares at me just because I exchanged a glance with Marina, wanting to beat me up. And he doesn't even bother to hide his emotions."

Shangguan Binghen shook his head, losing interest. This minor character wasn't worth his attention.

Shangguan Binghen then closed his eyes and began cultivating his divine power. Currently, his energy levels were far below that of even a low-level demon. He couldn't afford to slack off.

**Ding, ding, ding—**

As the school bell rang, the girls in the class immediately swarmed Shangguan Binghen, bombarding him with questions. They even asked about his underwear, making him twitch in annoyance.

These girls were too aggressive.

Despite being surrounded, Shangguan Binghen had no interest in them. Most were mere pretty faces, and likely, nine out of ten weren't virgins. He had no intentions towards them and only responded casually.

"Um, Shangguan, could you come outside for a moment?"

A soft voice called out, and Shangguan Binghen looked up to see Marina Akizuki standing on the outskirts of the group, looking conflicted.

"Sorry, but I need to talk to Akizuki. Could you all let us through?"

Shangguan Binghen sighed softly and spoke gently.

"Oh, okay."

Hearing his request, the girls exchanged glances and stepped aside, curious about the interaction.

Pleased with their understanding, Shangguan Binghen stood up.

"Marina, let's talk outside."

"Okay."

Marina was momentarily stunned but then followed him.

**Bang—**

Watching them leave together, Masato Ono clenched his fists and slammed the desk, his eyes glued to their retreating figures.

He actually...called her Marina so intimately?! So that's the kind of relationship they have! Bastard!

The sudden noise startled the class. Noticing the culprit, they exchanged glances—some amused, others sympathetic. Masato Ono, always boasting about his relationship, was finally getting his comeuppance. He deserved it.
