The moment the afternoon dismissal bell rang, Haruto spotted Touko Sakuramachi waiting outside his classroom.
He walked up to the expressionless, big-breasted, glasses-wearing succubus and teased, "Touko, I'm not going to run away. No need to stare at me like I'm a criminal."
Touko adjusted her glasses and promptly pulled Haruto's arm snugly against her chest.
Her full, soft breasts swayed slightly, completely enveloping Haruto's arm.
"Where to? A love hotel or my place?"
Under the fierce glares of their classmates, especially the male students, Haruto subtly tried to pull his arm free.
Not only did he fail to extricate himself, but it also made Touko's heart race, a faint blush appearing on her delicate face.
The surrounding gazes grew even more peculiar, with the male students grinding their teeth in resentment, their eyes seemingly ready to devour someone alive.
Sigh... He just wanted to quietly grow stronger without drawing too much attention.
With an internal sigh, feeling the constant warmth and softness pressed against him, Haruto said, "Let's go to your place."
Touko nodded obediently, clinging affectionately to Haruto as they walked off campus.
Along the way, the tall, alluring succubus with her ample bosom drew frequent glances from passersby.
When people noticed Haruto beside her, whispers began to spread.
"Isn't that Haruto from Class A?"
"Yeah, I heard Vice President Shinra and Himejima-senpai are dating him."
"I even heard they're fighting over him."
"You're all wrong. The ones actually dating him are the three from Class A—Hamasaki. I heard none of them came to class today, and Haruto helped them get leave."
"Wow... Were their legs too weak to come to class today?"
"Giggle... Why don't you go ask him?"
"No way, you go~"
While the girls gossiped with curiosity and shyness, the boys were seething with indignation.
"Hmph... So what if he's a little good-looking? It's not that impressive."
"Right! We haven't seen Shinra-senpai or Himejima-senpai lately. He must've been dumped!"
"But... Right after being dumped, he's already got another cute girl with him..."
"Hey, whose side are you on?"
"I'm just stating facts..."
"..."
"Brothers, we've got a traitor here. Let's beat him up!"
"Yeah!!!" ×N
"Ugh..."
Watching the boy being dragged into the bushes with his mouth covered, Haruto silently prayed for him before quickening his pace.
Once off campus, the attention on Haruto and Touko lessened considerably.
Though their looks still drew some glances, most people looked away after a moment.
However, a few malicious gazes lingered, following them like thorns in their backs.
"Touko, do you want to handle the guys behind us, or should I?"
As they passed a less crowded area, Haruto stopped, intending to deal with their pursuers first.
"You do it." Touko released Haruto's arm, wanting to see his skills.
Haruto stretched his limbs, adjusting to his peak condition.
After his recent power-up, he hadn't had a chance to test it. Now that targets had delivered themselves, he couldn't let this opportunity slip.
"One behind the utility pole on the left, two in the convenience store, and two pretending to smoke on the right..."
Haruto approached the two smokers while muttering to himself.
"Five in total, three with dyed blond hair... As expected of me. My ability to attract girls is matched only by my talent for attracting delinquents."
Stopping in front of the smokers, Haruto tilted his chin up. "Hey, why are you following us?"
"What's the matter? Is this road yours? You can walk here, but we can't?"
The tall, thuggish youth sneered at the short guy in front of him, a vicious grin twisting his lips.
He had been itching for an excuse to mess with this kid and snatch the hot high school girl by his side. To his surprise, the guy had walked right into his trap.
Ignoring Haruto, the tall youth fixed his greedy gaze on Touko behind him.
"I hate it when people look down on me."
Haruto clenched his fists in irritation but ultimately relaxed them. He was afraid that if he threw a punch, he'd have to beg them not to die.
Dying wouldn't be a big deal, but it might scare off the other three.
He reached out, grabbed the guy's hair, and yanked it downward.
Thud!
Before the tall youth could react, he staggered and fell, his forehead slamming into the concrete.
A sharp, tearing pain shot through his scalp, and crimson blood flooded his vision.
"You little bastard! You're dead!"
The tall youth's companion was the first to react, viciously kicking toward Haruto's stomach.
Sigh… So annoying. My body's finally filling out, but why isn't my height catching up?
At 170 cm, he wasn't exactly short, but it still wasn't enough.
Anyone slightly taller or with a better build felt like a "big car" to him.
And looking up at people always pissed him off.
While brooding over his height, Haruto caught the guy's ankle.
With a light squeeze, a crack echoed, followed by a pig-like screech of agony.
The tall youth's accomplice collapsed, clutching his right leg as he stared at Haruto in terror.
Regaining his senses, the tall youth scrambled to his feet, ready to beat Haruto to death with his buddy—then rape the high school girl right in front of him to vent his rage.
But before he could take a step, his accomplice was already writhing on the ground, howling in pain.
Seeing the deformed ankle, the tall youth froze as if paralyzed, his fury replaced by fear.
As a delinquent, he'd been in plenty of fights. He knew exactly how much strength it took to do something like this.
He'd thought he'd just been careless earlier when Haruto easily slammed him to the ground.
Now it was clear—whether he was prepared or not, the outcome would've been the same.
Haruto glanced at his pants—a few drops of blood had splattered onto them.
Probably from when the tall guy got up.
Frowning, he took off his uniform jacket.
He'd already lost a pair of pants; he didn't want his clothes stained with blood too.
Touko had initially lost interest—the gap in strength was too vast to even gauge Haruto's limits.
But when she saw him strip off his shirt, her eyes lit up, curiosity reignited.
She trotted over to Haruto and eagerly took his jacket and shirt from him.
"Who knew you were so well-built, Haruto? You look so lean at first glance."
Her small hands couldn't resist tracing the defined muscles of his bare torso.
Haruto was pretty satisfied with his current physique—lean in clothes, but solid underneath.
Still, there was room for improvement, especially in the height department.
"Alright, save the touching for when we get to your place."
Seeing Touko keep touching and breathing heavily, clearly showing signs of wanting to do it right there, Haruto irritably swatted her hand away.
"Even though you're a succubus and don't mind being seen by other men, I mind."
Touko licked the corner of her lips and shot Haruto a sultry glare.
"Even as a succubus, I don't just take any man."
Compared to delinquents, succubi usually preferred naive young boys.
For one, their vitality was stronger, their aura purer—and there was always the chance they were still virgins.
Another reason was that such men were easier to control.
Often during sex, succubi could take the dominant role.
Haruto scoffed. "Don't tell me you're still a virgin?"
Touko rolled her eyes. "What kind of proper succubus would still be a virgin?"
Though she lacked wings and a tail, she was a proper succubus—her first time had been centuries ago.
"Enough. Hurry up and deal with them. Isn't playing with me more fun than them?"
The expected answer didn't disappoint Haruto.
Since she wasn't a virgin, he wouldn't have any psychological burden using her.
Besides, he could finally test a certain theory with this succubus, Touko Sakuramachi.
From the moment Haruto took off his clothes, the five delinquents—
Two of them weren't even blond, but he knew their status was higher.
Unlike the obvious delinquents, they wore a layer of disguise.
The five, especially the two Haruto had already taught a lesson, knew they were screwed.
They'd been fooled by his appearance. Had they seen his perfectly proportioned muscles earlier, they wouldn't have been so reckless.
Aside from brute force, they were also skilled in drugging and coercion.
As for giving up? The moment they laid eyes on Haruto and Touko, that option vanished from their lives.
