Looking at the girl in his arms who still wore a knowing smile even in unconsciousness, and then at the simple-minded boys and girls around him, the great Demon King Sora couldn't help but sigh—
Why is the world so bright and beautiful, while this Sora is so dark and evil!
Haruna had indeed unleashed her potential at the end, transcending herself to win back a point. But was it really that simple?
What a joke. If Sora had wanted to, even if she had unleashed ten or a hundred times more potential, she could never have won a single point from him!
But he didn't do that. Because what would he gain by winning one more point? Other than completely crushing her spirit and conviction, he would gain nothing.
The more amazing and outstanding he appeared, the more the boys would be jealous and reject him. And while the girls would think he was amazing and handsome, seeing him bully Haruna-chan so pitifully and excessively would surely leave a bad taste in their mouths.
Though he could ignore all that, when it came to the girl Haruna herself, he absolutely cared!
From the moment she was targeted by him, Haruna was destined to never escape his demonic clutches. In the future, she would inevitably be conquered by him and become one of his harem. It was all just a matter of time.
Sora's standards were very high. His women had to be the most perfect and noble goddesses in this world. And if they weren't, he would train them to be!
And everything that happened before was just part of his script, simultaneously driving a wedge between her and Rito while conducting his initial "training" on her...
After this incident, Haruna couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment in Rito, hating iron for not becoming steel. Though it was just a tiny trace, with a little more prodding and watering in the future, this tiny trace of disappointment would grow into true disappointment, and eventually, even despair!
Sora truly felt he was beyond saving. On one hand, he pretended to be a good person, making Rito incredibly grateful, while on the other, he was secretly screwing him over. As a super demon king who reigned over several planes, to be bullying and scheming against a pure and honest young boy like Rito, just how evil and depraved must his soul be!
And what was even more speechless was that not only did he feel no guilt, but he even felt a faint sense of thrilling satisfaction...
Sighing, he had originally planned to put on an act and apologize to Rito in his heart, but on second thought, he decided against it.
This was just the beginning. He would probably screw him over ten or a hundred more times in the future. If he had to say sorry every time, wouldn't he get annoyed to death?
Rito was just a toy for the great Demon King Sora to pass the time. Haruna was his true goal.
Under his pressure, the girl successfully unleashed her potential and transcended herself, undergoing a transformation in both body and mind. And he had successfully planted a seed in her heart.
As long as he continued to prod and water it in the future, this seed would take root in her heart and grow, until one day it became a towering tree that filled her entire soul, leaving no room for Rito's shadow to stand!
Watching Rito running towards them with a worried and anxious look on his face, Sora shook his head sympathetically. What a simple and honest kid. I should take it easy in the future and try not to break him...
Although Haruna had fainted and it looked quite scary, she was just exhausted and there was nothing seriously wrong. This brought a small sense of relief to Rito, Risa, and Mio.
They gave Sora a couple of reproachful looks, but they also knew it wasn't his fault. It was all Haruna-chan's own choice and persistence. You could see from the smile on her face that she had no regrets, even at the very end.
Moreover, everyone could sense that after this, Haruna-chan would surely grow a lot...
Although Haruna was fine and would wake up on her own after a little rest, to be safe, they suggested taking her to the infirmary to be checked by Mikado-sensei.
A strange glint flashed in his eyes. Sora naturally knew of this Mikado-sensei they mentioned, a beautiful teacher who was extremely famous among the male students of the entire school.
Her real name was unknown; Mikado Ryouko was just her alias on Earth. Although she was a school nurse at Sainan High on the surface, her true identity was an underground doctor renowned throughout the universe.
It was rumored that her healing skills were number one in the universe; as long as you weren't dead, she could save you. Her superb medical skills, sexiness, and generous bosom made her extremely popular, admired by everyone from students to aliens.
Naturally, Sora didn't want to miss out on such a woman. This was a good opportunity to meet her. As for what would happen after, tsk, tsk, tsk...
Pushing through the crowd, Sora carried Haruna and walked with Rito and the others towards the infirmary...
…
On the roof of the school building, three female figures stood—
"Rin, who is that guy?"
Watching Sora's group leave, the girl in the front spoke with an elegant and beautiful voice.
A proper and beautiful face, with hair like orange-gold. Although the girl wore the same Sainan High uniform as the others, she stood out like a crane among chickens, incredibly dazzling, looking like a noble queen.
"Lady Saki, her name is Sairenji Haruna, a student from Class 1-A. She is said to have excellent grades and character and is very popular among the first-years."
A boyish girl with a ponytail stepped forward and replied.
"I wasn't asking about her. I was asking about the boy carrying her."
Frowning, the girl known as Lady Saki gestured towards Sora's departing back.
"Lady Saki, I know about that boy! His name is Kusanagi Sora. He's that genius transfer student that's been rumored around school lately!"
This was the excited voice of another blue-haired girl with glasses.
"So he's that Kusanagi Sora... Hmph, to be even more conspicuous than I, Tenjōin Saki. How infuriating!"
Muttering to herself, the queenly girl named Saki then let out an annoyed huff, looking at Sora's back as if he were her enemy.
"Lady Saki, should I go teach him a lesson and warn him?"
Extremely loyal to Saki, the ponytail girl known as Rin, seeing that Saki was displeased with the transfer student, offered to take action with a sharp glint in her eyes.
She was about to instinctively agree, but as if remembering something, the girl named Saki hesitated, a faint blush appearing on her beautiful and cute face.
"Hmph, let it go this time. If I run into him again, I'll make him grovel on the ground and properly receive my, Tenjōin Saki's, torment! Ohohohohoho..."
Imagining Sora groveling on the ground, begging her to trample him mercilessly with her feet, the girl named Saki touched her lips, her proud, confident, and triumphant laughter echoing across the rooftop...
…
In the infirmary, Haruna was already lying on a clean white bed. A woman in a doctor's white coat covered her with a blanket and walked out.
"Mikado-sensei, how is Sairenji-san?"
Rito, Risa, and Mio quickly gathered around and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, she's just exhausted. She'll wake up after a little rest."
The woman shook her head and smiled gently.
Short fiery red hair, a beautiful face, an impressive bust, and long, sexy legs. This was a woman as gentle and beautiful as flowing water, yet as fiery and sexy as a flame!
As girls, Risa and Mio didn't feel it as strongly. After thanking her, they quickly went to check on Haruna. Rito, on the other hand, couldn't take it. His face flushed and his heart pounded. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look directly at this devAstartingly beautiful teacher, and also stammered his thanks before running off to check on Haruna.
Chuckling softly, Mikado Ryouko was used to Rito's reaction, and she had no dislike for such pure-hearted boys.
Of course, she wouldn't have any strange, baseless feelings of affection for them either...
"Sora-kun, you've been staring at teacher for a long time. Have you had enough?"
Her gaze fell on Sora. Ryouko had a charming smile, as if looking forward to seeing his embarrassed and flustered reaction.
However, she was disappointed this time.
With his arms crossed, leaning against the doorframe, Sora had been sizing her up ever since he put Haruna down. And even now, being called out by the beautiful teacher, he showed no sign of embarrassment or panic.
This was only natural. After all, the great Demon King Sora's innocence and integrity had long been eaten by a dog. A woman who could make his thick skin blush and panic probably didn't exist in this world.
"Mikado-sensei, you know me?"
Instead of answering her question, Sora asked back with a grin.
"The rumored genius transfer student, and you just caused such a big commotion. It would be difficult for teacher not to know you."
Slightly stunned, Ryouko then looked exasperated. The charming demeanor she unintentionally revealed made even Sora feel a wave of heat.
Sora was very sure that this woman wasn't deliberately being coy. Everything she did was so natural, as if she were born with it.
He couldn't help but praise her inwardly. This was probably what they called being naturally seductive!
"Although you already know me, Sensei, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Kusanagi Sora. Please be sure to remember my name!"
Looking at Ryouko, Sora had a wicked smile.
He said it was an introduction, but he was telling the beautiful teacher to be sure to remember his name. His tone was quite domineering!
"Yes, yes, teacher will remember."
With a resigned smile, Ryouko was like a tolerant older sister.
Although she herself didn't have any powerful combat abilities, the well-informed Ryouko could naturally see that there was something extraordinary about Sora. Both his confidence and his aura were far beyond that of any other student in this school.
Though she was a little curious about his secrets, she had no intention of prying. It was just remembering a name. For such a special student, plus her own nearly photographic memory, it would be difficult to forget even if she tried.
Seeing her reaction, the smile on Sora's face grew wider. The reason he wanted her to remember his name well was because that was the name of her future man...
"Risa-san, Mio-san, I'll leave Sairenji-san in your care."
"Rito-kun, I'm heading home. Do you want to come with me?"
He only intended to get acquainted with Ryouko today and didn't plan on doing anything more. Sora addressed the others.
Even if he hadn't asked, Risa and Mio were planning to take care of Haruna, so they naturally wouldn't refuse. Rito, however, was a little hesitant. He didn't want to go home so early; he wanted to wait for Haruna-chan to wake up and maybe even walk her home.
"I... I'll go back with Sora-san too..."
After a moment's thought, Rito decided to go back with Sora. After all, even Mikado-sensei said Haruna-chan was fine. There wasn't much point in him staying here.
More importantly, after what happened earlier, Rito felt he couldn't quite face Haruna-chan. He had lost to her again and again, so uselessly, while she was able to persevere against the much stronger Sora-san and ultimately transcend herself to win back a point.
Rito felt that he had lost. Not just to Haruna-chan, but to his own useless self. Although he believed his feelings for her would never change, perhaps he really couldn't go on like this anymore. Maybe it was time to do something...
Watching the preoccupied and somewhat dazed Rito walk out of the infirmary, a curve formed on Sora's lips, and he followed him out. But just as he stepped out the door, he stopped again:
"Oh, right, Mikado-sensei. To answer your question from before, you are so enchanting and beautiful, I could never get enough of looking at you!"
"Hahahaha..."
With a loud laugh, Sora left without another pause.
"You brat! Daring to tease even your teacher!!!"
Finally snapping back to reality, a blush of shame and charm spread across Ryouko's face. This time, even Risa and Mio, as girls, couldn't help but stare, utterly captivated...
