Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine-Chapter 196 ⟴ The Most Handsome Guy in Class

The next morning.

The destroyed buildings of Sōbu High School had been completely rebuilt. All traces of the parasites were gone.

Sitting in the classroom, listening to the teacher speak from the podium, time seemed to return to a peaceful rhythm, making it difficult to resist dozing off.

Of course, several unusual events occurred that day, making Sōbu High students feel as if they had stepped into an alternate reality.

First, during the school's in-class test, the Nakano quintuplets — who had never achieved passing grades — actually passed! And not just barely; all five earned excellent scores, completely contradicting their reputation as academic failures.

Second, Sōbu High welcomed not just one but several transfer and exchange students from various prestigious institutions, including Private Fujimi Academy, Shuchi'in Academy, and Tōtsuki.

Most notably, these transfer and exchange students were all "absolutely" top-tier beauties — the kind you couldn't take your eyes off once you saw them.

"My goodness, what day is it today? So many transfer and exchange students at once — am I dreaming?"

"Damn, do I have a chance to find a girlfriend? With so many beautiful girls at Sōbu High now, maybe one of them will notice me."

"Dream on! I suggest you behave yourself. See that girl with the long purple hair, Busujima? She's the ace of Private Fujimi Academy's kendō club! The young lady from the famous Busujima kendō family, with exceptional sword skills and already a National Kendō Championship winner at such a young age!"

"Saeko Busujima — they say she caused bone fractures with a single-handed sword strike at the Kendō Championship, making others too afraid to compete against her."

"Whoa, that's terrifying. Let me switch targets then. I think that red-eyed one with long hair looks nice too, though her expression is a bit cold." The not-so-honest-looking boy turned his gaze to another exchange student, reportedly from Shuchi'in Academy!

If he could get close to her, wouldn't that mean he could live off her?

Hearing this, another boy turned pale and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "I suggest you lower your voice — she's from the Shinomiya Zaibatsu."

The warned boy scratched his head, completely unaware of the danger, while Kaguya Shinomiya, who was introducing herself at the podium, gave him an icy glance.

Tonight she would have someone dump this bastard in Tokyo Bay.

Thoughts racing through her mind, Kaguya's gaze fell on Daiki, 'Is this the Jujutsu Inspector General that father mentioned? According to what people say, that earth dragon in Tokyo was summoned with a mere snap of his fingers, directly destroying a large part of the city.'

It was difficult to imagine that the person before her could effortlessly lift a mountain range. Compared to him, the other people in the class were no different from monkeys.

After Kaguya and Saeko finished their self-introductions, it was the turn of the next exchange student from Tōtsuki Culinary Academy, Alice Nakiri.

Her introduction was similar to the previous two, but anyone with eyes could see that Alice's gaze never left Daiki.

Noticing her behavior, Kaguya slightly frowned, feeling a sense of urgency — the three of them were just the first to transfer over.

Sitting silently in his seat, Daiki remained seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding around him. His expression remained neutral, almost unnaturally calm amid the flurry of whispers and stares. Only the slightest flicker of amusement crossed his eyes as he observed the new arrivals and their not-so-subtle interest in him.

"Well, that's it then. Those three students want to sit at..."

Looking at the three beautiful girls before her, Mafuyu was nearly numb with disbelief. It was obvious they had come for Daiki.

Since the board members had already arranged seats for them, she reluctantly said, "The student behind Daiki."

The mentioned boy stood up, his face full of excitement. Could it be that the typical high school romance plot was about to revolve around him?

Since sitting behind Daiki, he had been completely ignored, living like an invisible person. Then unexpectedly, Mafuyu's words suddenly changed.

"From today on, you are no longer a student in our class. After discussion by the board, they have decided to give you an opportunity for further education. You can choose to transfer to Shuchi'in's general department, with tuition and expenses paid by the board, or you can transfer to another class."

The student was stunned. The girl sitting next to him, behind Ginko, couldn't help but laugh.

But then...

"That laughing girl, don't look elsewhere, yes, you — according to the random selection results, you also need to choose to transfer schools or classes."

Before the two could react, men in black suits from outside came and packed up all their belongings, then kicked them out.

'They could have at least tried to ask for our preference...' Daiki looked around for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the window.

In their place, Alice sat behind him, Kaguya sat beside Alice, and Saeko sat in front of Ginko.

At this point, the students in the class suddenly realized something was odd — with this seating arrangement, Daiki's position was far too prominent...

In front of him was Fumino, behind him was Alice, to his left was the window, and to his right were Saeko, Ginko, and Kaguya in sequence.

They heard he even had a quintuplet girlfriend in another class — quintuplets! The type where you can't even tell them apart!

Damn it!

The remaining boys in the class all focused their attention on him. Even the most clueless could see that something was off.

Could it be that Daiki, seemingly ordinary, was actually the heir to a top financial group? Otherwise, why would so many cute girls gather around him?

At this moment, he had become the most handsome guy in the entire class.

But no one in the class dared to say anything. Even the daughter of the world-famous Shinomiya financial group had come to Sōbu High as an exchange student.

This suggested that Daiki's background might be terrifyingly powerful!

Mafuyu rubbed her temples helplessly, feeling that her future teaching career would be quite eventful.

Ginko's aura turned cold. How long had it been? And already other women had chased him to Sōbu High School?

She pressed her thin red lips together, her expression icy, while Fumino, sitting in front of Daiki, also seemed hesitant to speak.

"Let's start class." Mafuyu said wearily.

This was just the first batch; the Shinomiya group was sending another one, and apparently there were more from abroad.

Sitting behind Daiki, Alice secretly raised her finger and poked his back, frightening Kaguya so much her spine straightened instantly.

This guy has the power to summon dragons with a finger! How can you be so casual about it? This white-haired girl wants to provoke the Dragon Lord!

In the outside world, Jujutsu Sorcerers could kill her a thousand times over.

"Daiki-kun, I'm Alice from Tōtsuki Academy. I just returned from Europe a few days ago. I specialize in molecular gastronomy. Please take care of me from now on!"

Compared to Kaguya's nervousness, Alice wasn't as fearful, probably because she hadn't witnessed him slaughtering Jujutsu Sorcerers. Combined with her straightforward personality, she wasn't one to hide her feelings, so she directly threw out a fastball.

As for the Demon Lord stuff she'd heard some people talk about... she thought he was fine, at least up until now. Daiki hadn't killed anyone, and his personality seemed better than expected.

So, under Kaguya's shocked rabbit-like gaze, Alice successfully established a connection with her target!
