"Die!!!"
Yukino instantly became enraged, unable to resist throwing a side kick towards his cheek.
The force of this kick was immense, enough to send an adult flying.
Of course, this level of force was no different from a tickle for Tenya.
He merely went with the flow, using Yukino's force to fly out of the bathtub.
Using Kamui to phase, his body passed through the wall, returning home.
"Tenya-kun?!"
"Where did you just go?"
Mafuyu, who was blow-drying her hair after showering, stared strangely at the soaked Tenya.
"I went to Yukino's next door to take a bath." Tenya replied casually.
Mafuyu narrowed her eyes and said, "Went to Yukinoshita's to take a bath...?"
"Is the relationship between you two that good?"
"It's alright."
Tenya casually grabbed Mafuyu's towel from the chair and began wiping the water droplets off his body.
"That's the one I used..."
Mafuyu's cheeks flushed, and she avoided his gaze.
"It's fine."
"I don't mind."
Tenya even sniffed it. It had a faint feminine fragrance.
"Hmph!"
Mafuyu pretended not to see, and said sternly, "Hurry up and get dressed! Let's start the tutoring session."
Tenya said with an unwilling expression, "No way?"
"At this romantic night, you're telling me to study?"
Mafuyu was still bothered, unable to accept that Tenya, who was at the top in all other subjects, was lagging behind only in history.
"Studying is the top priority!"
"The monthly exam is tomorrow, give it your final sprint!"
On the other side.
Yukino perked up her cat ears and eavesdropped.
"So it was for tutoring with Kirisu-sensei."
"Unexpectedly proper."
"Mm-hmm~ When it comes to studying, I won't lose to you!!"
After her bath, Yukino cheered up and studied by lamplight.
Tenya suggested, "Mafuyu, just studying is boring. How about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
Mafuyu frowned, feeling that Tenya had ulterior motives.
Tenya held up one finger and said, "If I get first place in the entire grade in this monthly exam, you have to promise me one thing."
"First place in the entire grade... You're really confident." Mafuyu was slightly surprised.
Generally speaking, the higher one's ranking, the exponentially more effort is needed to improve further.
After all, when you work hard, the others are also working hard.
There is no teacher in the world who dislikes hardworking top students.
"Alright then."
"As long as you can do it..."
The next day, the monthly exam was held.
Three days later, the monthly exam results were released.
"First place: Tenya..."
In front of the school bulletin board, Yukino froze on the spot.
"Oh my~ what a coincidence..."
Tenya said with a kind expression, "To see Yukino, the student in second place in the grade."
A scene that seemed familiar...
This was exactly what Yukino had come specifically to mock him with a month ago.
Yukino expressed disbelief, "In just one month, your history score actually increased from 70 to 100."
"It seems Kirisu-sensei's tutoring was very effective."
Thanks to the skill Practice Makes Perfect, Tenya's learning efficiency greatly increased. Coupled with Mafuyu's serious teaching, it was not impossible for a 'poor' student to instantly become a top student.
Miko said, "As expected of Tenya-kun, he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to!"
Miko ranked third in the grade, which could be considered a stable result.
Hana complained, "Boyfriend-kun, is there anything you're not good at?"
Hana wanted to cry but couldn't shed any tears. Having slacked off on studying recently, she had dropped several ranks.
"поздравления."
(Congratulations)
"It seems I have another strong rival."
Alisa's total score was tied for second place with Yukino.
"No need to worry."
"From today onwards, I shall stand above the heavens!"
Tenya reached up and pushed back the bangs from his forehead.
Although he didn't have hair gel, he could control his Chakra to keep his hair in place, styling it into a slicked-back look.
"So cool!"
"I've noted it down!"
Rikka's eyes lit up, and she wrote down this line.
"You are truly a genius!"
Rukia muttered to herself, "There are no men in Soul Society who talk this much nonsense!"
"My rank dropped again..."
"It's really bothersome."
Megumi passed by silently.

"Mafuyu, you remember our promise, right?" Tenya's goal was clear.
"I remember..."
Mafuyu showed a relieved expression and said, "I really didn't expect you to actually get first place."
As a teacher, nothing is more fulfilling than improving a student's grades.
"A wish."
Mafuyu said with a smile, "As long as it's not excessive, I can fulfill it for you."
"Mafuyu, be my girlfriend."
Tenya didn't beat around the bush at all, directly attacking.
"Huh...?!"
The smile on Mafuyu's face froze, and her eyes instantly turned cold.
"Excuse me, what did you just say? I didn't hear you."
Mafuyu took a deep breath, deciding to give Tenya another chance.
"Mafuyu, be my girlfriend!" Tenya indicated he didn't need a chance.
"Tenya-kun, don't go too far!" Mafuyu held her forehead.
She should have known long ago that this man in front of her never knew what restraint was.
He would take an inch and ask for a mile whenever he had a chance, which greatly troubled her.
Tenya retorted, "Aren't you the one going too far, Mafuyu?"
"You clearly promised me."
Otherwise, why would he work so hard to study?
With his current abilities, does he really care about academic performance?
His ultimate goal was this beautiful and kind good teacher in front of him.
"Tenya-kun..."
"Your feelings are understandable."
"But this is just a momentary impulse of youth, it can't be considered true love... Ngh?!"
Mafuyu was about to lecture him, but unexpectedly suffered a sneak attack, her mouth was blocked.
Tenya decisively attacked, grabbing Mafuyu and embracing her deeply.
"Ngh wuwu~!"
Mafuyu struggled subconsciously, constantly hitting his chest with her hands.
