"Horikita Suzune or Hiyori Shiina... Hmm,"
Honestly, I was hoping for Kushida to show up. I had already set up all the traps I needed for her and was just waiting for her name to pop up.
How unfortunate.
Looking at the names again I couldn't help but frown.
I've read the novels thoroughly and most of the information is still fresh in my mind. Hiyori Shiina, a quiet but smart girl who likes to read books. She held little relevancy in the novel other than being an 'angel' unlike Kushida who was a fake.
This made things hard, I didn't have enough material to work with should I choose to deal with her. Unlike my in-depth knowledge of Horikita, Hiyori was effectively a blank slate with the tag of kindness.
At the same time Horikita...
I don't want to choose Horikita. Not yet. Our bond hasn't developed to the point I'm confident I can control her. Smart people were hard to control, but smart people with intense pride were even harder to control.
A single mishap and they'll self-destruct.
Like Kushida, I've already set up everything necessary to blackmail Horikita. Unlike, Kushida where her own personality was my leverage, Horikita didn't have such a thing.
But that wasn't a big deal, if there wasn't leverage I'd just make one.
I've already calculated her showering time to 95% accuracy. I could record her naked and use that to blackmail her like I initially planned.
Of course, I could also do the same with Hiyori, record her naked. But if I choose a gentle approach like I did with Horikita it would take me another 3-4 weeks or possibly longer if she doesn't let me in her room.
If I take a forceful approach, for example cornering her and just raping her outright then blackmailing afterwards...
I wasn't sure.
The System said I had to Blackmail girls into sleeping with me but what if I first rape her and then use that to blackmail and control her?
I'm worried the System wouldn't count that.
If it's super strict with its "Blackmail first, sex after" then I'd have committed a crime for no reason at all.
Choosing Horikita meant risking jail while choosing Hiyori meant taking an unknown amount of time.
"What a dilemma..."
I closed my eyes and sighed in resignation.
A mental click reverberated in my mind.
[Target Chosen! Hiyori Shiina!]
I would never accept going back to jail for a trivial reason like time.
Having been granted a second chance at life I wasn't about to risk it for no reason. Till my bond with Horikita deepens I can't choose her. It wasn't that I was not confident in Blackmailing her— I was 80% sure I'd get away scot-free but...
That 20% scared me.
It wasn't worth it.
And as for Hiyori... I won't accept waiting another month.
I'll have to adopt a slightly different plan.
One that guaranteed success and also wouldn't take too long.
Before the point system is revealed on May 1st, which is next week, I'll Blackmail Hiyori Shiina.
...
While Ryuji was plotting against Hiyori, inside the girls' dorms...
Karuizawa stared at her ceiling blankly.
Her emotions were in turmoil. She had come to class with a very heavy heart today. Conversations felt dull, focus was impossible and physically she felt drained.
What stung her the worst was Ryuji's behaviour. He didn't acknowledge her, he didn't even glance at her once. He remained completely indifferent as if he hadn't just forced himself on her the night before.
Of course, it's not like he really cares about me. He just wants my body... That's what my value is to him.
Karuizawa felt like crying but her tears had dried. She picked her phone up and tried to watch some videos online.
Yet she couldn't find any joy or excitement.
She curled up on the bed and drowned in sorrow.
"And to think I still have to rely on him..." Karuizawa curled her fingers, clenching the fabric of the bed in between her fingers.
Ryuji's revelation in the morning had stunned her and after today's mock test, she had already discerned that he was for sure not making things up.
The mere fact that the mock test ended up exactly as he predicted made Karuizawa mind-boggled.
It chilled her to the bone that such a cunning beast was hiding in the class. He had predicted something even Hirata hadn't been able to.
Knock! Knock!
The sudden sound caused Karuizawa to flinch. She jumped up in surprise and walked to the door with light steps.
She looked through the camera view and froze.
A devastatingly handsome face was smiling at the visiting camera gently. His red eyes seemed to pierce through the monitor and look directly at her. Karuizawa saw his lips move.
Open the door.
She could make these words out.
Why is he here!?
Karuizawa took a few deep breaths and opened the door. She knew she couldn't avoid him. She couldn't afford to make him mad.
"Hello, Karuizawa~" His voice drifted lazily and Karuizawa glared at him with hatred.
"Why have you come here? Leave!"
"We can talk at the door for however long you want but I don't think that'd be nice for your image..." Ryuji slowly glanced towards the left and then towards the right.
Thud!
Karuizawa grinded her teeth in anger and pulled him inside before slamming the door shut.
"What do you want, Yamamoto!"
"You're getting bold, aren't you?" Ryuji raised a brow and walked towards her causing Karuizawa to tremble.
She backed away, ultimately hitting the frame of the bed and falling down on her butt. Ryuji stood over her with a derisive smile.
"It's fine, Karuizawa," his gentle voice was no more than a murmur, "You don't have to pretend to be tough in front of me."
He extended a hand and gently cupped Karuizawa's left cheek, "After all... No one in this school knows you more than me."
His words struck Karuizawa's core.
Instantly she deflated. He reminded her of the futility of her act. No matter how disgusted she acted, no matter how angry she acted, in the end, she'd have to agree to whatever demands he had.
Maybe if she hadn't given in yesterday, maybe if she had been more decisive, maybe if she hadn't cowered away... if only the old Karuizawa, the weak and helpless Karuizawa hadn't resurfaced.
If only...
But there was no medicine for regret.
Even as she watched him unbuckle his pants her gaze remained dull and her body turned cold, warmth solely coming from the palm resting gently on her cheek.
"Help me with this, Karuizawa." Ryuji's pants dropped as did his underwear and his cock whipped out like a leash. Thankfully Karuizawa wasn't too close and was spared the fate of getting slapped by his cock.
Karuizawa's face turned red in humiliation as she stared at the heavy meat dangling in front of her. She had washed her mouth till she lost count today but would she still have to...
The musky masculine scent assaulted her nose as she forcefully turned her head around.
Ryuji didn't stop her, looking at her with amusement.
"We had a deal no? You're supposed to satisfy my sexual desires."
"Hah!? Why not get that Horikita to jerk you off, bastard? Can't you just leave me alone!?" Karuizawa hissed.
"Oh? Are you jealous I was spending my time with Horikita?"
"I've never seen someone as delusional as you," Karuizawa scoffed in disdain but Ryuji didn't mind it. Once the seed was planted Karuizawa's coping mechanism would begin working at full force.
"Jerk me off Karuizawa. I want you to use your pretty little hands to get me off and not Horikita. Don't waste any more time, I'm not exactly a patient person."
Karuizawa trembled in anger as she closed her eyes and turned to face him.
If she was going to be forced to do it might as well be blind.
