14 COTE

Tatsuya dismissed the System Notification.

Two entirely different yet vivid sensations were felt by him. The monstrous gaze from the sky seemed to be relieved while the System which was somewhere attached to his soul conveyed reluctance.

Not yet.

Tatsuya mentally comforted the System. It was like a little child or a pet which was saddened by its master's decision.

But both Tatsuya and the newborn System knew that this whole ordeal was just to save Classroom of the Elite.

Tatsuya would soon find a way to take his girls with him.

It was fine to strengthen these mortal worlds and people like Ayanokouji because the source of their powers was him.

He could take it away as easily as he could grant it.

Not every world would be as fortunate as Classroom of the Elite.

The end goal of this journey lay in destruction.

Tatsuya knew that all too well.

Hence there was no harm in creating an anchor, a 'home'.

A place where he could come and relax.

"How much World Essence do I have?"

[World Essence: 6350]

Tatsuya frowned looking at the number. It seemed like a lot but Tatsuya needed a skill or ability to protect his soul. He refused to travel if he didn't have something as basic as this.

"I should do a few spins every day to increase my chances of getting what I need. It's a pity that having sex with the girls barely nets 50-100 points per session... You stingy System..." Tatsuya chuckled and thought about the girls left.

"Sakayanagi, Horikita and Chabashira..." Tatsuya clicked his tongue, "Not many are left..."

A contemplative look flashed through Tatsuya's eyes.

"Can I take a few people with me to the next world?" A mischievous glint flashed past his eyes.

[Replying to the host. The bridge to the next plane will not be able to bear more than three people and if it's a high-tier plane then not more than two.]

"... Is that including me?"

[Yes, host.]

"I see..."

So that meant he could take at least one person with him.

"I wonder..." The light in Tatsuya's eyes dimmed, "If anyone is even worth taking along... Heh, well no worries. It's not like it matters in the first place."

He gently stroked Ichinose's hair one last time before tucking her in bed.

He got dressed and left her room.

Taking the elevator he thought about the person following him.

After Amikura left he briefly heard the footsteps of another individual. He wouldn't make a mistake in recognising the difference between their footsteps.

He picked up the pace after exiting the elevator and unintentionally smirked once he found himself standing outside Pallet again.

He entered the cafe and walked up to the intimidating group of students.

"My, my... What brings you back?" Ryuen smiled with amusement and Ibuki flinched before turning around. She felt a shudder go down her spine as her eyes met with his.

"I believe you'll have a good reason for following me, Ibuki."

"No way, were you stalking him Ibuki? Kukuku, Gotten love sick seeing a big and strong man?" Ryuen crackled with laughter and Ibuki's face turned red from anger and embarrassment seeing the odd look in Ishizaki and Hiyori's eyes.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!" Ibuki growled before turning to Tatsuya, "What proof do you have that I was following you? Keep your bullshit to yourself!"

While she was shaken, wondering how he knew about her following him, she would never accept it.

"Proof? I don't need proof." Tatsuya scoffed, "Did you enjoy yourself outside the door?"

"!!!"

Ibuki's face started burning, unintentionally recalling the lewd sounds she heard from Ichinose's room.

"...What?" Ryuen looked confused, "What's he talking about Ibuki?"

"N-Nothing..." She denied it but her behaviour had long given everything out.

"Oi Ibuki, you're not doing yourself any favours." Ryuen tapped his knuckle on the table but Ibuki refused to reply.

She quickly calmed herself down and ignored both of them. It wasn't like she could outright say she found Ichinose and Tatsuya fucking. Even if she would she needed a little time to calm herself first.

But how could she have known that Tatsuya would attach a drop of his blood to her, effectively tracking his stalker?

But Ibuki soon realised that with everyone staring at her she couldn't just keep quiet.

"I wanted to spar with you but..."

Tatsuya was surprised hearing that, "Spar with me...?"

The condescending look in his seemed to have triggered Ibuki and Ryuen's snickering by the side only amplified her emotions.

"You're looking down on me?"

"Yeah," Tatsuya nodded, "Who gave you the courage to fight me? To be honest it's astounding that you're even considering it."

"You!" Ibuki couldn't take it any longer.

Despite knowing she might regret it she shot up and walked out of the cafe while saying, "Follow me, you bastard."

Tatsuya: "..."

"Are we really doing this?" Tatsuya seemed exasperated, perhaps because he had just fucked Ichinose he didn't have much of an interest in Ibuki.

Not to mention she wasn't a main lead so there was no real benefit in going along with her whim.

"Just don't hit her face will ya? I'll take care of the rest." Ryuen smiled and turned to Hiyori, "You should leave now."

Hiyori was silent for a second but she ultimately nodded and left.

Tatsuya walked out of the cafe with Ryuen, Ishizaki and Albert following him.

Ibuki was about five meters ahead of them so she wasn't able to hear their conversation.

...

"Did you fuck Ichinose?" Ryuen smirked with his hands in his pockets.

Ishizaki was startled hearing that, "B-Boss?"

"Why's a gangster like you so sharp?" Tatsuya hummed in amusement and Ryuen couldn't help but laugh.

"Kukuku, how interesting. How'd you do it? I don't think she would just willingly bend over."

Tatsuya paused for a brief second and for some reason tension filled the air.

He turned his head back with a soft smile.

"You're right."

Without elaborating any further he picked his pace up and caught up to Ibuki.

...

Ryuen froze in his tracks.

"Boss...?" Ishizaki muttered and even Albert looked confused.

"I can't believe this," A wry expression clouded his face as he looked at Ibuki and Tatsuya bickering.

His face slowly morphed into a grim frown.

"...What an evil bastard."

****

The abandoned building?

I see.

It's definitely a good spot and I wonder if they planned this out beforehand. I wouldn't be surprised considering Ryuen's cunning mind.

Ibuki stood a little distance from me and with an amusing turn of events Ryuen, Albert and Ishizaki pressed down on me from behind.

Is he trying to intimidate me?

How cute.

"Say, I don't have any obligation to go along with this little wish of yours, right?"

Ibuki seemed a bit stumped hearing my words. She frowned and crossed her arms, "I'm not asking for much. Isn't it just a little spar? You wouldn't have followed me if you didn't want to do it in the first place."

Oh, she's not dumb.

"Huuu, you're right. How about a little bet?"

"A bet?"

Ibuki paused and looked interested, despite knowing her chances of winning were low.

The fact there were stakes to the fight should make it more interesting for her.

Ryuen and his gang simply listened to our conversation without interrupting which surprised me a little.

"Yes, the loser has to obey one command from the winner."

"You're crazy..." Ibuki had a mocking expression on her face and it seemed like she was going to reject my proposal.

I don't blame her.

The details of what one could request were quite vague and considering her chances of winning she had to seriously consider what I might ask of her.

"Accept it."

All of a sudden Ryuen's voice echoed from behind me.

"Huh— Wait!"

"Just accept it Ibuki." Ryuen smiled but it was in no way kind, "You'll definitely win."

Ibuki clenched her teeth and seemed angry. It took her a few seconds to calm down. It was clear to see she wasn't moved by his encouraging words.

Seeing this situation I did my best to hide the grin threatening to break out on my face.

"Let's begin Ibuki, we'll stop on the condition of either of us giving up or losing consciousness. Is that alright?"

"Fine by me," Ibuki shook her head as if trying to clear her mind. It seemed like deep down she really wanted to test her skills against me.

Ibuki hopped on her feet a few times as Ryuen and his friends stepped back, giving us space.

After taking a deep breath Ibuki's gaze hardened and she got into stance.

...

I can do this.

Trust yourself Ibuki.

Getting into stance I looked for any openings and instantly I couldn't help but feel anger surge into me.

He was simply standing there all relaxed as if he couldn't even be bothered to fight me.

It made my blood boil.

Even if I can't win I want to land at least one decent hit on that smug face of his.

I definitely will.

...

Ibuki lunged forward, her fist aimed straight at Tatsuya's face.

She was fast, but not fast enough.

He sidestepped effortlessly, watching her momentum carry her past him.

She quickly regained her footing and spun around, launching a series of rapid punches and kicks. Though for Tatsuya it didn't take much to deflect all of them.

He felt a little pity for Ibuki, she was definitely strong but she was fighting a losing battle.

"Is that all?" he taunted and her eyes narrowed.

With astonishing agility she dropped low, sweeping her leg in a wide arc, aiming to knock him off his feet.

Thud!

Ibuki felt her heart race. It was as if time had stopped.

Her kick had definitely connected yet the scene of him falling over or dodging which she was expecting did not occur.

Tatsuya took the blow and silently stared at Ibuki.

"Do you realise now?" He said, lifting his leg and harshly kicking Ibuki in the face causing her to sprawl away. "You're wasting your energy,"

Ibuki growled in frustration, her face flushed with anger.

She charged again, her movements growing more desperate and erratic.

No matter how level-headed she wanted to remain the humiliation was too much.

She aimed a punch at his ribs, and he caught her wrist, twisting it just enough to make her wince. With a swift motion, he spun her around and locked her arm behind her back, pulling her close.

"You can't win," he stated coldly before pushing her away.

She stumbled forward but didn't fall. She turned to face him, her breathing heavy and laboured.

"Hah!"

She charged again, this time with a wild scream. Her fist came towards him, and he stepped aside, grabbing her arm and using her momentum to flip her over his shoulder. She hit the ground hard, the air rushing out of her lungs in a pained gasp.

He stood over her, looking down at her sprawled form.

With an amused look, Tatsuya planted his shoe on her face making it overlap with the footprint from earlier.

She struggled to get up, but her body refused to cooperate. She tried to push herself up on shaking arms, but they gave out beneath her.

Finally, she lay still, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath.

"It hurts, doesn't it? Should've known your place before listening to the idiot behind me."

Tatsuya laughed, what more could please him than causing others psychological pain?

Ibuki's heart was full of fury but it only turned to despair as Tatsuya put pressure on her face causing her face to get scratched against the pavement.

She would never win.

It was impossible.

Ibuki clenched her fists and her nails dug into her palm.

Just as she was about to close her eyes in defeat the sounds of rushed footsteps echoed behind her and Tatsuya.

Her eyes shot open in shock as Ryuen lunged behind Tatsuya with a metal pipe in his hand.

Clang! Thud!

"How about we give it a go as well? Kukuku." Ryuen took a step back with a metal pipe but his laughter came to a halt as Tatsuya turned to him with a smile.

"You sure took your sweet time."

"Looks like you were expecting it huh?" Ryuen's eyes were full of confusion. He had hit him with all his strength, the least that should've happened was Tatsuya getting knocked out.

How was he still standing nonchalantly with a smile on his face?

Ishizaki felt a chill go down his spine as Tatsuya let go of Ibuki and walked towards them while massaging his head.

"Hmm, it does sting a bit." He spoke while eyeing Ryuen, "You wouldn't have done this if you knew what fear was."

Ryuen smiled like a madman and started laughing.

"That's right. I don't care if I win or lose right now, ever since I was born—"

Boom!

Before Ryuen could finish Tatsuya vanished from his spot and drove a kick into his face. Ryuen was blown away and he crashed against the wall.

"Arrgghhh!"

"You think I care about your sob story?" Tatsuya scoffed.

"Boss!" Ishizaki yelled in surprise while Albert with his huge body swung a fist at Tatsuya.

Thud!

Albert's expressionless face morphed into one of surprise as Tatsuya blocked his fist by grabbing it. Tatsuya had no intention of dragging this out.

With the same intensity, he punched Albert in the face. His speed was so fast that before Albert realised what happened he lost consciousness as he, similar to Ryuen, crashed against a wall.

His sunglasses broke and the shattered pieces littered the ground.

Ishizaki who witnessed this felt his teeth clattering in fear. He stiffly turned to Tatsuya who was looking at him.

"I... I... I s-s-surrender!" He fell to his knees and raised his hands.

Tatsuya smiled and ignored him before walking up to Ryuen.

****

Ishizaki felt a chill go down his spine as he watched Tatsuya walk over to Ryuen with a devilish smile.

But his blood boiled as he saw Tatsuya grab the unconscious Ryuen's collar.

"I-Isn't it enough? I mean we've already lost."

"Did I ever say it would end with only your loss?"

"You! You're crazy!" Ibuki got up while struggling. She held her arm and looked at her classmates with hesitation.

"Right... I should've just done it this way." Tatsuya mumbled to himself as his figure vanished.

Before Ibuki could realise why he had disappeared she felt a sharp pain in her neck. Just as she was about to lose consciousness she saw Ishizaki suffer the same fate.

...

Now that all of them were out of business Tatsuya slapped Ryuen awake.

Ryuen felt a stinging pain on his cheek and at the same time, his head was on the verge of busting from the pain.

"Ah... I see." As soon as Ryuen's vision cleared up he was met with Tatsuya's nonchalant face, "Kukuku... Must be feeling good eh, Yamamoto?"

"..."

"Enjoy it while it lasts. I'll make sure to turn your life into a living hell." Ryuen's eyes glinted dangerously and Tatsuya could tell that he meant it.

Tatsuya's lips twitched and Ryuen was inwardly surprised.

Did his threat work? Could it be that Yamamoto was more sheltered than he thought?

"So you'll attack me whenever you see me? The school won't allow such brazen behaviour."

"I've done my research, I've thoroughly scoured the entire school, familiarised myself with all the rules. You think you can become the top dog with only strength? Wrong!" Ryuen grinned before pointing his finger towards his head, "It's all here."

"Is that so? So no matter how strong I am it won't work out?"

"Correct. I congratulate you on this victory but you should've never stood out and stayed like the good boy you were for the first month."

What Ryuen wanted wasn't to simply defeat Tatsuya. He wanted to torment him, break him to the point Class D was left in nothing but shambles. Once he exposes Ichinose's affair with Yamamoto to Class B it'll leave some cracks in the class with the biggest weakness—

Their stubbornness to let go of even a single student.

All that's left was that crippled brat but that wouldn't be too hard, as long as he could effectively control Katsuragi kicking that runt off her high horse wasn't too difficult.

The path to success was so clear that Ryuen inwardly felt bored.

His fight with Tatsuya had indeed given him some excitement but the aftermath seemed a little dull. Yamamoto was silently standing and staring at him as if contemplating something.

"It's the lack of fear huh...?"

Ryuen couldn't hear his mumble but he wasn't satisfied. He needed to rile him up, make him expose the ugly emotions he hid behind that pretty face.

"You're not the only one that'll suffer. I'll make sure everyone in your class regrets being in the same class as you. Especially that cold one, wouldn't it be fun to see that arrogant brat beg for you on her knees? I'm sure you've flirted with her enough for her to consider you as someone special."

Ryuen laughed.

Dirty talk.

It was something he had honed to perfection, no matter how vile the words he said, as long as it worked...

"I wonder to which extent she'll go to save yo—"

Everything turned silent.

Ryuen gasped as he tried to lift his head. His head was pressed against the ground with some invisible force. He couldn't understand what was going on.

The air around him continued to solidify from the pressure being released from Tatsuya. Tatsuya bent his knees and lifted Ryuen by hauling his hair into his fist.

"Ahggg..."

Ryuen groaned but smiled as he met Tatsuya's eyes.

"Do you know Ryuen, there's one philosophy that both of us have in common." Tatsuya smiled.

"The age-old answer to every question is violence."

Thud!

Tatsuya banged his head against the ground and blood started seeping out of his forehead. Ryuen gritted his teeth but showed no signs of fear.

"You see Ryuen, I've been quite relaxed in this world. It's because I know that I'll probably be facing a lot of problems after leaving this world. That's why I've been merciful and not causing havoc everywhere."

Ryuen showed a confused look as he heard Yamamoto's incomprehensible words.

"It's fine. I know you won't understand. It's not your fault." Tatsuya's smile turned soft, it was often the case whenever he felt pity for the person in front of him.

"Have you gone mad? Kekeke, could it be the fear of harassment?" Ryuen chuckled.

"I told you that I'd kill you if you touched her." Tatsuya pinched his chin, "Though you haven't done so yet the thought itself should warrant punishment."

"Hmm?"

Ryuen felt his heart race.

An unbelievable scene was happening in front of him.

Tatsuya let go of him and snapped his finger.

"You..."

Ryuen gritted his teeth as he saw numerous balls of fire appear behind Tatsuya.

It had to be a hallucination.

Perhaps his head was injured more than he thought.

Ryuen tried to convince himself as the balls of fire illuminated the light in his eyes.

But then it came.

Searing pain.

How does it feel to experience your entire body melt away in wrathful flames?

Ryuen clawed the ground and kept on howling while rolling on the ground. His fingernails were dented and blood seeped out of his hands.

His luscious long hair started crumbling away as his skin started dripping like hot wax.

The smell of plastic wafted in the air as his flesh sizzled away.

Tatsuya watched him suffer in agony with a soft smile, ignoring Ryuen's animalistic shrieks.

Screams that shouldn't belong to a human.

He couldn't help but smile when the feeling of mercy arose in his heart.

But Tatsuya never did things that way.

His hand shot through the flames and he grabbed Ryuen by the chin. He extended his fingers and the space between his index finger and thumb started churning, as if he was pinching something.

In an instant, a brown-coloured pill appeared.

Tatsuya fed Ryuen the pill.

Crack! Swish!

The flames disappeared and Ryuen's body started contorting and as if time had turned back Ryuen's body healed.

His hair was once again beautiful and his fair skin was no longer melting.

Ryuen trembled as he placed both his hands on the ground. His breath became erratic as his eyes shook in terror.

His entire body felt numb and he didn't dare raise his head.

The blood on the ground made it clear that he wasn't dreaming.

Sweat soaked his entire body as he shivered.

But just then—

Snap!

Ryuen flinched as he grasped his heart.

Thump!

Thump! Thump!

His heart was threatening to tear apart his chest as he stiffly raised his head.

Just as he did his expression turned blank.

Ryuen's eyes were illuminated by a familiar orange hue.

****

I couldn't help it.

It might have been reckless, but anyone could see the moves Yamamoto was making.

His involvement with the Student Council was intense, and he was suspiciously in touch with the leaders of the other classes. He held too much power.

Don't get me wrong.

I have no intention of going against him. While I've never been particularly intimidated by class leaders like Horikita, Hirata, or Kushida—exceptional though they are—Yamamoto is different.

He shouldn't be allowed to attend this school.

I know it's an absurd thought.

But it's not fair.

You can't place a wolf among sheep without expecting chaos.

That's why I need to ensure I'm not destroyed at his whim.

I, Matsushita Chiaki, would never accept such an outcome.

What does he want? Does Class D have a future in his hands? Will he keep expelling students he finds annoying?

Too many questions and too little information about his true personality. His demeanor in the first few months was clearly a facade.

Thoughts like these swirled as I discreetly followed him. My heart pounded as he led the Class C delinquents to the abandoned building.

Maybe this is my chance? If they try something, I can help Yamamoto and gain his favor. Even if nothing happens, I can use the information later.

But why the abandoned building? From the looks of it, a fight was inevitable. It was as if the school had this place specifically for resolving conflicts.

An absurd thought, but not for a school where students can expel each other with private points.

Letting out a sigh, I continued tailing them. Hiding behind a wall, I whipped out my phone and started recording. I couldn't hear the conversation clearly, but Ibuki's voice rose several times.

Finally—

"Huh— Wait!"

Ibuki's voice echoed, and moments later, she charged at Yamamoto.

Was this a duel between Ibuki and Yamamoto? It didn't seem like Ryuen and his underlings were going to join the fight. A pity—it could have been good blackmail material.

We would have a trump card against Class C.

Watching the fight, it was unsurprising that Yamamoto won. Despite knowing nothing about martial arts, I was sure Ibuki stood no chance. His physique was too well-crafted, a pure athletic body.

Perhaps the only one who could challenge him was the humongous guy from Ryuen's group. Why does he even follow Ryuen? Couldn't he beat him easily? Sometimes, I just can't understand these boys.

But jokes aside, Ryuen must have some hold over him—blackmail or something else. No one is content with being a servant.

Then something surprising happened.

Clang! Thud!

Chills ran down my spine.

Yamamoto slammed his foot onto Ibuki's face—an extremely humiliating move. But what shook me was Ryuen brutally smashing a metal pipe against Yamamoto's head.

Blood dripped down his face.

My hand trembled as I was about to rush in. No matter what, Yamamoto was the leader of Class D. Without him, our chances of reaching Class A were slim.

But my body froze as Yamamoto turned around with a smile. He and Ryuen seemed to be talking, but Ryuen's unease was palpable.

A blow like that should've knocked him out.

Yet what happened next, I'll never forget.

Yamamoto easily defeated Ryuen's gang. Surprising, but not completely unexpected. Fear gripped me as he knocked everyone out and woke the unconscious Ryuen.

I couldn't hear their conversation, but it must have been unpleasant—Yamamoto slammed Ryuen's head against the ground repeatedly. Ryuen kept smiling, but then...

Snap!

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Flames erupted behind Yamamoto in the shape of spheres. Not just one, but several. For a second, I thought I was hallucinating.

Or rather, I wanted to believe I was.

But my hopes were shattered as I saw Ryuen being burned alive. The sounds of his skin sizzling and the smell of burnt flesh...

It was real.

I wanted to run away. I didn't want to hear Ryuen's anguished howling or see Yamamoto's devilish smile. I didn't want to smell the burnt flesh.

I... I... I...

I wanted to leave.

Tears streamed down my face as I trembled in fear. I turned off the camera and slid down the wall, clamping my hands over my ears. But Ryuen's screams never stopped echoing.

I didn't know how much time passed, but it was more than an hour.

Ryuen had long stopped screaming. I don't know why, but I was sure—whether he was screaming, begging for mercy, or crying—Yamamoto never stopped.

Like a cruel demon, he continued burning him alive.

Hell on Earth.

Yamamoto was Hell on Earth.

I tried to make no sound. I didn't care if Ryuen or his underlings died.

I just wanted to leave.

But my legs wouldn't listen. Or maybe it was instinct. My body knew the moment I moved, I'd be killed.

I'd suffer the same fate as Ryuen.

Yamamoto would find me and burn me alive. He'd heal me and burn me again.

Again and again and again and again.

...

Silence.

That was all I knew.

My body had grown numb.

Was Ryuen dead?

Were the rest of Class C killed too?

I didn't know.

Like a statue, I remained frozen.

My pride, my excellence... What did they matter in front of the Devil?

I could only pray.

Pray to God that I could escape.

If the Devil exists, then...

God should too, right?

My heart pounded as I sobbed silently. A shadow loomed over me. My eyes were closed, but I could see it.

I could see his smile.

I could sense the Devil staring down at me.

My heart was already numb from fear.

All I could do was pray and hope.

Hope.

God... Where are you?

A soft sensation enveloped my cheeks. I was forced to open my eyes.

Yamamoto stared at me with a soft, gentle smile, befitting an angel while cupping my cheeks.

"No one will save you."

His voice echoed in my ears.

-x-X-x-

"How much did you see?"

A mischievous smile formed on Tatsuya's face as he looked down at the feeble girl trembling before him.

Matsushita Chiaki.

She wasn't someone that interested him.

That's why he never made a move on her despite her beauty.

Sure, she couldn't compare much to Ichinose, Kiryuin or Horikita but she still had a charm of her own.

Although... not enough for him to actively go after her.

But why would the wolf refuse to eat the sheep that willingly walked in between its teeth?

"I... Didn't... I'm s-sorry..."

Matsushita clutched her head like a frightened child, refusing to raise her head.

"Oh?"

Then what's this?" Tatsuya hummed curiously before picking up the mobile phone on the ground between her legs.

"N-No!"! Matsushita was startled and tried to raise her hand to snatch the phone but coincidentally her eyes met his.

Her hand remained frozen mid-air, similar to a beautiful sculpture. The tears that highlighted her face, the sweat that made her healthy pale skin glisten and the strands of hair that broke off from the rest dangled in front of her face.

It was beautiful.

Tatsuya raised her phone and grabbed her thumb before using it to unlock the biometric password on the lock screen.

He instantly went to the gallery and couldn't help but chuckle as he clicked on the latest video.

His eyes sparkled as he saw Ryuen being burnt alive.

"Damn, don't I look so cool? Like a hero punishing the villain!" Tatsuya's eyes sparkled as his bizarre words made Matsushita realise something.

He's psychotic!

"Hey, I asked you something." Tatsuya's smile disappeared and the temperature dropped as Matsushita shivered, "Don't I look cool?"

"W-What?"

Matsushita couldn't comprehend his words.

"Aren't you supposed to be the girl who appears average but secretly hides her intelligence or something? Where's the intelligence at? Quickly bring it back and answer me."

Tatsuya grinned.

"Don't I look cool?"

Matsushita was breathing heavily, her mind was already in disarray. Never had she thought she would experience such fear.

"Y-you look really cool." Matsushita let out a hideous smile as tears streamed down her face, "Like a... hero."

"Aww, that makes me so happy." Tatsuya rubbed the back of his head feeling a little shy while squinting his eyes in happiness.

"I'm sorry for recording you. I'll delete the video and tell no one. Please let me go." Matsushita stopped trembling but her heart was still pounding loudly against her chest, "Y-You're a hero, aren't y-you?"

"Wow, you're really smart. Feeling composed already?" Tatsuya admired her ability to struggle, "You're right, as a hero I will let you leave if you delete the video and don't ever talk about what happened here."

Matsushita flinched as she raised her head and looked at him with hope in her eyes. She scrambled to pick up the phone Tatsuya tossed and quickly deleted the video in a fluster.

"I did it!" She presented him with the phone like a child waiting for a compliment and Tatsuya nodded at her.

"Good. You can leave, I have some cleaning up to do." He scratched his chin while looking at the unconscious students from Class C.

Matsushita bowed several times with tears in her eyes.

Tatsuya's eyes trailed her back as she left the abandoned building.

"Don't do anything that will make me mad. Behave normally."

Matsushita flinched but continued to leave.

As soon as she was out of sight Tatsuya's smile dropped and a curious look took over his eyes. He wondered if she would catch his hint despite how blatantly he had thrown it out.

Well, not that it mattered anyway.

She had bad days coming for her.

He sighed before walking up to the unconscious Ibuki. A devilish smile formed on his face as he picked her up and dragged her to a corner of a wall.

Ishizaki, Albert and Ryuen should take about an hour to wake up on their own, especially Ryuen. That meant Tatsuya had some time to enjoy himself.

Well, considering he had won the fight it was time for her to uphold the conditions of the bet, right?

...

After dragging her to the wall I tossed her aside and sat down. As soon as I sat down I dragged her into my lap.

She was dead asleep. It didn't seem like she was going to wake up any time soon. I think I knocked her a bit too hard.

Sometimes it's hard to control my strength.

I gently positioned her in between my lap with her head resting on my chest. The vulnerable unconscious girl had no idea that she was about to be violated and that she didn't even have the right to resist.

Licking my lips I gently caressed her thighs first. They were really soft and definitely her best part, it must be because of her training but damn did she feel good.

Her skin was a bit cold to touch but that only aroused me further. I pulled her in closer with one hand and deeply inhaled her scent.

There was a bit of sweat mixed in with it considering the fight we had but somehow it wasn't too much and enhanced the smell.

Weird.

Well, whatever, I'll just enjoy myself.

I twisted her face and grabbed her jaw before kissing her. My tongue sloppily explored her insides. I could do whatever I wanted and this made me heartily lick the entirety of her mouth.

I pulled on her tongue and sucked it as our saliva dripped down together. The soft feeling made my dick twitch in pleasure. Ibuki's body wriggled under my hold subconsciously.

Plop!

I separated from her and licked my lips with a contented smile. Immediately I started unbuttoning her and let her top fall.

"What's this? Bahaha." I couldn't help but laugh at the cute sight of her green bra. Her breasts were perhaps an A-Cup but no way in hell was it B.

Considering how sexualised Classroom of the Elite was made to be I'm surprised there's a character with such a flat chest besides Sakayanagi.

I ran my hands over her breasts and played with her nipples. The cute little pink toys continued to harden under my touch.

"I should help her." A ridiculous idea emerged in my head, "System."

[Yes, Master?]

I don't know when it started doing that but I ignored the way it addressed me.

"I need to make a spell."

[Please state the details of your request.]

****

"Kukuku."

I can see why Ryuen likes laughing like this, it's pretty malicious and fun. I can just imagine how Ibuki would feel after I'm done with her.

My eyes involuntarily found its way to the hovering system screen.

[Ruler of Boobs: You can freely manipulate the size of a female's breasts by three sizes. Whether it be increasing or decreasing, all boobs shall hail your wishes. Note— Physical contact required for spell to work.]

Let's get started, shall we?

I grabbed both of her breasts and started kneading them.

"W-What... What the hell?" A confused voice whispered and I stopped in surprise.

"You're awake already?"

Ibuki blinked her eyes in confusion as she saw the large pair of hands playing with her bare chest.

She blinked once again before tilting her head.

She was met with my innocent face.

Ibuki blinked a few times before repeatedly alternating her gaze between me and her chest.

Tatsuya: "..."

Ibuki: "..."

"BASTARD!!!"

A wild howl blasted in the building as Ibuki jumped free from my hold. Her face was completely red like an apple as she pointed her finger at me while covering her chest.

"W-W-W-What the fuck are you doing you pervert!?" Ibuki shrieked as she tried to put her top back on in a fluster but the more flustered she became the harder for her to redress.

"I can explain." I made a serious face and raised my hand.

Ibuki paused in confusion.

"Your breasts must have made you feel inferior to Ichinose and Kushida right? Don't worry I was helping you by making them bigger with a massage!"

Ibuki: "..."

"...You don't have to thank me?" I muttered not really knowing what to say.

"KILL YOURSELF!"

Ibuki yelled and dashed outside.

Or at least she tried to.

I appeared in front of her and grabbed her hand.

"Let go!"

"No! I'll definitely make you a C-Cup today!"

"You perverted fucking madman!" Ibuki shivered and tried to get out of my hold. She kicked me repeatedly but I remained standing there unfazed.

Poor her, she was blocking her chest with one hand and I had held the other. All she could do was try to kick me repeatedly but even that failed.

Despair crept into Ibuki as she met my smiling face.

I let go of her and made a kneading motion with both my hands in the empty space. A fearful and disgusted expression involuntarily crept up her face as she ran in the opposite direction.

I blocked her again and grabbed her for good again this time.

I forced her into my lap while she continued to struggle.

"Let me go! Let me go! You fucking bastard!" Ibuki was furious yet she knew. No matter how much she struggled it was futile.

Ibuki panicked and looked around.

"Ishizaki! Ryuen! Albert! Wake up goddammit!" Ibuki cried out, in a situation where her pride did not matter she called for help, "Someone..."

Clasp!

Two large hands grabbed her chest roughly.

"Hiss—!" Ibuki sucked in a breath of cold hair as pain coursed through her body.

"You... Get away from me!" Ibuki clenched her teeth while looking at me with hatred. She was far more feisty than Kushida.

I twisted both her nipples and Ibuki's body arched in surprise.

"Just trust me and relax~"

Thud!

That fucking hurt.

Did she really just headbutt me? The fuck?

I massaged my nose and roughly grabbed her blue hair. Pulling it hard I looked her in the eye with a soft smile on my face.

"I was hoping you wouldn't try to become another Kushida."

Ibuki's face morphed into surprise and confusion but too bad for her I was done playing around. My cock needed to ejaculate urgently.

I threw her on the ground unzipped.

Ibuki looked at me with horror as I thrust my cock in front of her face. I grabbed both sides of her head and forced her face into my cock.

Ibuki had no choice but to breathe through my pubes and inhale all my manly scent hahaha.

Tears continued to stream down her face.

Looking at her beautiful visage I had a sudden urge to violate her. The problem with being invincible was that there was no need to control my urges.

I could in fact, quite literally, do whatever the fuck I want with Ibuki.

I tightened my grip on her face and instead of a normal blowjob rubbed my cock against her face vertically.

I continued to facefuck (?) her. My cock dragged along her lips, her skin, her nose and even her eyelids before eventually ending at her hair.

I moved my hips constantly as my cock pistoned against her face.

Ibuki was already in a distraught phase. She probably couldn't understand what was going on. Even though she was getting raped it wasn't in a conventional way.

Ibuki could only helplessly look on as the underside of my cock flashed in front of her eyes again and again as my balls slapped her chin.

I'm glad I'm strong or that would've hurt.

"The content of the bet was for the other party to listen to whatever the winner wanted, right?"

I smiled as my cock poked her nose. Ibuki was already muddled head due to the effects of Touch of Pleasure and Intoxicating Scent.

"So, for the next hour, I want you as my personal cumdumpster. Do you understand Ibuki Mio?"

I forcefully parted her lips and with a single thrust forced my cock down her throat. Her throat bulged with the shape of my cock as I let out buckets of cum.

Ibuki choked and gagged on my cock.

But I kept my hold on her and she repeatedly patted my legs, as if begging for mercy.

I was far from done.

I grabbed her by the throat and she ended up vomiting all the cum back on the floor. A frown involuntarily crept up my face but oh well.

I can't blame her for that.

I slapped her hard and Ibuki came back to her senses.

She looked at me with a blank expression as tears streamed down her face.

Despair.

Ibuki Mio's current feelings could all be expressed by this single word.

Well, not like I cared.

Her body was unexpectedly soft.

I roughly grabbed her and raised her hand. Under her surprised yet disgusted gaze I place my cock just beneath her armpit before bringing her hand back down, sandwiching my cock.

Did I mention her armpit was completely clean-shaven? Or to better word it there was no sign of hair ever even being there.

Her sweat and her saliva that was on my cock made sloppy sounds as I violated her armpit. Ibuki's body helplessly rocked back and forth from my thrusts.

"Stop... Stop... Stop... Stop... Stop... Stop."

Like a broken doll, Ibuki repeatedly whispered for me to stop but that only made my cock harder.

"Please... Please sob stop."

The sound of her weeping was the final straw as I came everywhere.

****

Ibuki looked on in disarray as several white strings of cum flashed by her eyes.

As she saw the cum dip down her arms and armpit she felt a chill go down her spine.

"Stop it already! I'll report you to the police—"

Tatsuya stuffed his cock down her throat and started roughly banging his balls against her chin. Her sloppy wet mouth pussy made soft noises as her tongue and lips lapped around his cock.

Ibuki felt her eyes tear up and she hurriedly bit down in protest but a finger appeared beneath her upper teeth, stopping her from clamping down.

"You know the fun part? I don't have to spend World Essence for sex toys!"

Words incomprehensible to her. Ibuki remained surprised as an O-ring mouth gag appeared in his hands.

Now, Ibuki herself was but an innocent teenager with her brain geared towards martial arts. How could she possibly know the purpose of the item in his hands?

At the moment she was horrified by the inhuman strength Tatsuya showed. How could his finger stop her jaw from clamping down? No way in hell that made sense.

He stopped my jaw with his finger...

Ibuki muttered to herself, completely horrified.

A martial artist like her knew just how incomprehensible such a feat it was. For a second it made her forget the blazing rod resting on her tongue.

A slap to the face woke her up and she rubbed her cheek in surprise as Tatsuya forcefully made her wear the mouth gag.

Struggling was useless but Ibuki didn't care.

Spit dribbled down her lips as she tried to close her jaw. But the O-ring forced her mouth to remain in an O shape.

Tatsuya threw Ibuki to the ground and got on top of her in a pushup position. He slammed his cock back inside her mouth and kept himself propped up with his hands on the ground.

Ibuki could do nothing, not even close her mouth as he violated her. He repeatedly banged his hips against her face and Ibuki was forced to deepthroat his cock.

No matter how much she pinched, scratched or tried to hit him he remained unmoved.

When will this torture end?

Thoughts like these consumed Ibuki's mind as cum swam down her throat. The rapist on top of her kept his cock in her mouth making her forcefully drink his cum.

"Huuuh, that was fun." Tatsuya separated from her and looked at the heartbroken Ibuki. Chuckling he pulled down her pants and tore her panties away.

Ibuki gritted her teeth as she tried to hide her pussy with her hands. Due to the O-ring, she couldn't speak.

Tatsuya rubbed his cock over her pussy and admired the fact she didn't have a hint of hair. He was curious to see blue pubic hair.

Ibuki's hair stood all over her body as he placed his cockhead at her entrance. It was moist but not enough for a rough fucking.

Tatsuya realised that and understood why. He didn't play with her enough and just used her against her will.

It would be miraculous if she was wet.

Thankfully her sweat was enough for lube.

He plunged his cock straight into her pussy and his lips twitched as Ibuki's folds entangled his cock.

What the fuck?

It was as if her pussy was trying to suck out all of his energy. He looked at Ibuki and after confirming she was depressed and crying ignored the weird feeling.

What a perfect cocksleeve!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

"Nnnnnhh—!"

Their flesh clapped together as Ibuki cried out.

"Ah, stop it h-hurts!" She tried pushing him away but Tatsuya continued to piston her.

"As expected a young athletic pussy is indeed different."

Tatsuya pulled her into a mating press and banged her hard. His cock drove through her pussy walls and altered its shape to form a perfect cockcase.

Ibuki felt her back hurt as Tatsuya pushed against her repeatedly. She covered her mouth not wanting to moan out loud like an animal.

Despite not wanting to feel any pleasure it was inevitable once Tatsuya started his work.

Tatsuya discreetly cast clean on her while roughly fucking her. After that, he intertwined his hands with hers and roped her in for an extremely sloppy kiss.

Their spit dribbled down as they engaged in absolute depravity.

Ibuki's eyes were already on the verge of losing focus as Tatsuya repeatedly banged against her womb.

"I didn't expect you to enjoy this."

"The hell!? I'm not! Fucking madman, I'll toss you into prison— Eeek!!?"

Tatsuya slammed his cock rather roughly this time causing Ibuki to jerk. He deliberately rubbed against her G-spot.

"Let's see if you can send me to prison first or—" A devilish smirk found its way to his face as a funny idea emerged in his head.

He buried his cock deep and his dick twitched.

Ibuki was overcome with horror as she sensed what was about to happen.

"NOT INSI—"

Splut!

"Ah... Ah... Ah... No!" Ibuki hurriedly crawled back while trying to dig the cum out of her pussy.

"Kekeke." Tatsuya laughed before picking her up.

This wasn't his funny idea.

The funny idea had just begun.

...

Ishizaki rubbed his head with an annoyed expression.

After waking up he found himself lying on the ground with a very bad headache.

Did Yamamoto hit him?

From the pain he was feeling Ishizaki felt his suspicions were valid.

"But where's Boss and Ibuki?" He found Albert still unconscious but the other two were nowhere to be seen.

Ishizaki couldn't understand what happened.

All he knew was that Yamamoto was a fucking beast and that he'd never mess with him again.

"How the fuck did he knock out Albert like this? Is he an alien or something?" Ishizaki shivered in fright as he propped Albert up.

"Oye wake up, let's go!" He patted his cheek and Albert's eyebrows moved slowly.

His expression showed confusion and Ishizaki started explaining what happened as they went back to the dorms.

...

Next Morning.

"Hey, did you see Boss at all?" Ishizaki asked Albert as they walked to class together.

Albert shook his head.

Usually, Ryuen, Ishizaki and Albert walked to class together but Ryuen was nowhere to be seen.

"Weird... I wonder what Yamamoto made Ibuki do. Wasn't the bet about listening to the others' order or something?"

Albert nodded silently.

"Are you upset you lost or something? You seem down."

Albert paused for a brief moment before nodding again.

"Don't blame yourself, Yamamoto's an exception there's probably no other freak strong enough to beat ya in this school. I'ma stay away from him as much as possible."

Ishizaki hugged himself with a fearful expression as he entered the class.

But what surprised him was the tense expression of his Homeroom teacher.

He usually had a sly smile or a strict expression.

"Quickly sit down, I have something important to announce."

"Uh, okay." Feeling a bit overwhelmed Ishizaki wondered if their little stunt from yesterday was exposed.

After Ishizaki and Albert sat down the homeroom teacher of Class C hardened his expression while gritting his teeth.

"Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio have voluntarily dropped out. From now on there will only be 38 students in Class C."

"...What?"

Ishizaki muttered out loud subconsciously.

"Is there a problem?"

"Why would they suddenly drop out? That makes no sens—"

Ishizaki yelled while slamming his hand down on his desk but all of a sudden his expression froze.

The homeroom teacher glared at him and sighed.

"You should know more than me..."

Ishizaki gritted his teeth as he sat down.

But immediately after he rushed up from his seat and ran out. Albert followed him while clenching his fists.

Why would Boss suddenly drop out!?

An absurd situation.

But there could only be one explanation.

And that was—

Yamamoto Tatsuya!

Ishizaki felt his blood boil as he rushed towards Class D. He slammed the door open, surprising all the students inside.

Chabashira-sensei was stunned and she immediately spoke in a terse tone.

"What are you doing student, do you want to get suspended?"

But Ishizaki as if on drugs rushed towards Yamamoto and grabbed his collar.

Class C was nothing without Ryuen!

That realisation made Ishizaki forget all his fears as he growled towards the monster he wanted to avoid till now.

"What did you do!?" Ishizaki spoke through clenched teeth, "Why did Boss and Ibuki drop out!?"

Yamamoto had an innocent expression as he smiled with confusion.

"How would I know that? Didn't your homeroom teacher tell you? They dropped out... voluntarily."

Ishizaki froze as stared at the extremely evil and sinister smile Yamamoto was displaying. Everyone in the class felt a chill go down their spine as they saw his maniacal expression.

But as if it were an illusion his face morphed back into one of confusion.

"I'd appreciate it if you let go of me now. I'm a bit weak to violence." He scratched his face with an embarrassed expression.

"..."

Class D: "???"

Weak to violence???

You?????

Staring into his eyes Ishizaki felt his heart beat wildly.

It was not due to anger, nor was it excitement but instead simple fear.

He slowly let go of Yamamoto and lowered his head before begrudgingly leaving the class.

"You can continue the class, Sae-sensei." Fixing his collar Yamamoto sat back down like a model student.

"... Okay."

...

Lunch break started and students started leaving.

"You know what, I'm not going to even ask this time."

Horikita's mellow voice reached my ears and I chuckled.

"Why? If it's you who's asking I'd be eager to tell."

"What? Urgh stop being cheesy." Horikita frowned before bringing her lunch out.

"Your loss." I shrugged, "Did you make that yourself?"

"Do I have to spell out the obvious for you now?" Horikita rolled her eyes.

It's a bit weird to say but her actions towards me are no longer hostile and even if she's acting annoying it's not actually annoying.

It's like banter between close friends, if I were to say.

Ah, I knew I was an expert at maintaining relationships.

An absurd thought.

Definitely not true considering the blonde rape accuser glaring at me discreetly. She was probably worried I was falling for Horikita and not keeping my end of the deal.

"Can I have some?" I asked.

Horikita raised a brow but didn't say anything.

She silently scooped out a spoon of the deliciously cooked omu-rice and ate it elegantly.

"What are you looking at?" She narrowed her eyes at me with annoyance.

"I'm not supposed to eat with my hands am I?"

"..."

Horikita scooped up another spoon and ate it with a content expression as if showing off.

My lips twitched.

She suddenly stopped and dug into her bag before pulling out another spoon. She handed it to me before going back to her food.

What the hell? I was about to snatch her spoon but why was she being so considerate? Did something I'm unaware of happen?

[A/N- Reference to Horikita's conversation with her brother.]

Well, not like I was complaining.

I noticed her cheeks redden a bit as we ate together but I decided to not tease her and quickly returned to my room.

I had a new toy to play with after all.

As for skipping school? Hah, I could do whatever I want.

"How was it?"

Just as I was about to leave a voice called out to me. It was Horikita who was reading her book.

This girl...

She's so fucking cute!

Trying so hard to act nonchalantly while asking my opinion about the food you personally made.

Ah, should I just be honest?

"Will you be cooking tomorrow as well?"

Horikita seemed confused but nodded, "I cook every day."

"Then remember to bring an extra spoon every day as well."

"... Alright." She nodded and returned to her book.

She's good at hiding her emotions.

Cute.

...

I returned to my room just as class began.

I was probably going to be scolded by Chabashira-sensei tomorrow but I'll deal with that later.

I unlocked my room and entered. Tossing my bag to the bed I started changing clothes.

"Hmmph!"

"Mmmhp!"

"Mmhhhh!"

Muffled sounds echoed in my ears as I looked over to the source of it.

Ibuki Mio.

Completely naked she was chained to my wall with a dog collar and a dog's feeding bowl in front of her.

"Ah, you must be feeling hungry." I had left her like this for quite a while.

I went to the fridge and took out two packets of Oreo. I dropped the Oreos in the bowl and unbuckled my pants.

Stroking my cock I quickly came and filled her dog bowl.

"Should be enough for lunch," I muttered and drank a glass of cold water.

Ibuki tried to lunge at me but she was quickly pulled back by the chain attached to the wall. She growled but the tape strapped on her mouth didn't allow her to speak.

"Are you thirsty too?" Ah, I was a bit foolish, I've never raised anyone so don't blame me.

I brought another glass and kept it beside the dog bowl. After doing that I drank another glass of water and swirled the water in my mouth.

I spit the water out and it landed on my cock. Cold water dripped down my cock and filled her glass. Ibuki looked at me with horror but I ignored her.

Soon her glass was full.

"Cock water with Oreo and cum. A meal like this is unique and you'll probably not find it anywhere else. Don't waste my goodwill."

Ibuki cried and tears streamed down her face.

Her eyes were full of hate.

Thud!

"Don't look at me like that." I quickly removed the strap and smashed her face into the dog bowl with my foot. "Until I see it empty you're going to stay there."

Ibuki refused to do so and gritted her teeth.

How stubborn.

"Are you hoping someone will notice your absence? Or perhaps the school will contact the police to search for you?"

Ibuki flinched under my feet and a wild grin stretched across my face.

"Don't worry, Ibuki." I smiled and whispered softly, "That will never happen."

"The school has announced that you've dropped out voluntarily but I made sure this news won't reach your parents. Do you understand?"

Ibuki started trembling and shivering.

"For a long long time, no one will know you're gone, Ibuki Mio."

Hmm?

"Don't cry too much, the food will become salty."

"How could the school..."

Her voice was barely audible and I felt pity for her.

"Status and money can buy anything."

Cold and harsh words.

It wasn't true though.

I just threatened them to accept my 'request'.

You see...

If you possess strength to get away with anything... life becomes infinitely easier.

"So now enjoy your life as my personal toilet till I'm bored of you."

I removed my foot from her head but Ibuki didn't move. She wasn't eating the food but her face was still submerged in my cum.

She was probably in too much of a shock.

Well, whatever.

I whipped my phone out and called a number.

It was quickly picked up.

"Ah, Matsushita, could you come to my room right now?"

It was time to have fun with my new toy.

-x-X-x-

"Hey, Matsushita-chan! What's wrong?"

Matsushita trembled as she slowly let the phone down.

"Anno, is something bothering you? You look pale..." Her friend stretched her hand to feel her cheek but Matsushita flinched and slapped her hand away.

"!"

"I-I'm sorry! I'm just feeling under the weather... I need some rest." Matsushita lowered her head before walking away.

Her friend could only watch in confusion as Matsushita walked away with dread.

"You were fine just a second ago... I wonder who called her." Feeling stifled she picked up her phone and proceeded to call another friend, throwing the matter to the back of her mind.

...

"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?" Matsushita bit her fingernails as she walked towards the dorms.

In all honesty, the moment she escaped from the abandoned building yesterday she wanted to drop out. This school didn't matter much to her, she was wealthy enough to not care about the consequences.

But just as she was about to run to the school office Tatsuya's words echoed in her mind.

Don't do anything that will make me mad. Behave normally.

She cursed herself, she hated being smart.

She loathed the fact that perhaps dropping out might cause Tatsuya to come after her.

And if he did—

A chill went down her spine.

Thoughts like these raced through her mind as she silently stood in front of his door. She had been standing like that for a few minutes already.

No matter what she tried to do the fear coursing through her blood made her unmoving like a statue.

"You're taking your sweet time."

"!!!"

Matsushita felt her heart race.

How did he know I was standing outside?

Matsushita clutched her clothes tightly and bit her lip. Thinking about it, for someone with the ability to summon flames having something like an x-ray wouldn't be surprising.

Matsushita did her best to calm herself as she twisted the door knob and adopted a jovial expression.

"Sorry for calling you on such short notice." Tatsuya smiled apologetically while rubbing the back of his head. His demeanour was polite and considerate.

Such a greeting should've made Matsushita feel comfortable.

Right?

Matsushita felt her heart stop.

It was as if all sound had disappeared and only her panted breaths could be heard.

Her eyes were fixed on the naked abused Ibuki.

There was a dog collar around her neck which was chained to the wall. Her cheeks were red, as if slapped by someone and in front of her was a dog bowl filled with some white liquid which her face was buried in.

Even from the door, Matsushita could hear the sounds of her whimpering and slurping.

Matsushita took a step back with horror.

Goosebumps appeared all over her body as she slowly looked into Tatsuya's eyes.

"Did I startle you? My bad. You see, after defeating the Demon King Ryuen I took one of his evil subordinates as a slave to see if there's a way for a demon to become a human again."

Tatsuya smiled proudly.

"After all... That's what a Hero should do... Right?"

Matsushita covered her mouth in horror as her pupils dilated.

She ran away.

Despite knowing the dreadful outcome she couldn't stop herself from sprinting away.

Swish!

Before Matsushita could take a step out of the door she was caught. Four long bloody tentacles stretched out from Tatsuya's back, restraining all her limbs.

"Aaa... Aa— AAA—! HMPH!"

Another tentacle shot towards her and wrapped itself around her mouth, silencing her.

Ibuki who was silently observing the horrific scene could only look on in a daze as Matsushita was dragged inside the bathroom by the tentacles without resistance.

Ibuki stiffly noticed the tear stains where Matsushita was originally standing.

She smiled as cum dripped down from the corner of her lips onto her breasts.

"Ha-ha-ha... Ha-ha..." A broken laugh filled with despair echoed inside the dorm room.

...

"Why would you run away?" Tatsuya brought his face infinitely close to Matsushita's.

Their eyelashes were practically touching each other.

Matsushita cried.

That was all she could do. Her mind was unable to comprehend her current situation, all she knew was that she should've just left the school instead of being over-smart.

Perhaps...

Perhaps... Then she could've been safe—

"I'm surprised you didn't leave the school after witnessing... that." Tatsuya tilted his head in amusement.

Matsushita looked up in surprise as her heart thumped wildly.

"But I guess you're a smart one. Had you really left the school I would've killed you and your family."

Matsushita's face turned blank as she heard Tatsuya say those horrifying words with a straight face.

Tatsuya pulled one of the tentacles back and Matsushita's mouth was freed. Her lips quivered as she smiled softly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run away. I... I was just scared by the sight of... Her."

Her obviously meant Ibuki.

"I see." Tatsuya pinched his chin in thought before shaking his head. He called all the tentacles back and Matsushita dropped to the ground with a plop.

"I thought you were feeling bad for the demons. I'm glad that's not the case."

"Thank you..." Matsushita smiled but whether she knew it or not, the trembling of her body gave away her true feelings.

Demons, Hero and the Demon King.

Matsushita could only curse God for giving such a lunatic strength and abilities beyond imaginable.

"Uhm, did you need my help for something?" Matsushita braved it out and asked. The state Ibuki was in was a clear reminder of what his 'request' may be but she could only hope that was not the case.

"Oh yeah, I needed your help right now." Tatsuya looked excited as he started taking his clothes off.

Matsushita shuddered and lowered her head.

Time seemed to have slowed down for her as tears started streaming down her face once again. She was just an innocent 16-year-old. Why did she have to go through with something like this?

Why was this guy able to do whatever he wanted?

Why could he so nonchalantly chain and enslave another fellow student?

Why could he torture another student repeatedly without consequences?

Why? Why? Why?

"Because I can..." A low whisper echoed in her ear and Matsushita jumped up in surprise.

Tatsuya was naked with his lower half draped in a towel crouching beside her.

For a split second, she was dazzled by how sculpted his body was but that fascination disappeared as soon as it came.

She looked at his face with an incredulous expression.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know how to read minds. Your face was quite expressive if anything."

Matsushita silently looked at him.

Tatsuya smiled and fiddled with his phone. He played a video and showed it to Matsushita. Matsushita took his phone in a daze and showed a confused expression as the video played.

It was about a Japanese mother and son. The video started normally but as a few minutes passed Matsushita realised what she was watching.

Her face turned red.

It was porn.

The mother, completely naked, was washing her son's body with her own body.

Matsushita paused the video and abruptly looked at Tatsuya who was half naked.

A moment later she looked around her.

The bathroom.

Her eyelids quivered in realisation.
