Heroine-Saving System: Reborn In A Third-Rate Manga As The Protagonist-Chapter 132 - 133: Mid-Terms Begin!
'Well that doesn't matter.' He thought.
This was why he hated the stress of a faceless account, but at the end of the day, it didn't matter if he had shown his face or not.
He ran his hand through the back of his hair nervously.
"Ehehe, I didn't mean to. I forgot to wear the mask, it also has been pretty stressful to juggle my Academy life and reading manga at the same time." Koya said and he looked at the chat.
「take ur time bro no worries😭」
「we'll wait as long as it takes king👑」
「bro said academy life like it's nothing💀」
「wait was that actually you fighting the Alpha Salamander yesterday??」
「PLEASE say that was you in the lair footage I need to know」
"Oh? Yes it was me." Koya said. "I went back for revenge, it was really nothing much. Right now, before I do our usual manga review. I want to talk about Ichinose a bit…"
He looked up at the viewers and had to hide his surprise, where did two million viewers come from all of a sudden?
He had just started stream, it made him feel a bit nervous but he calmed himself down.
The identity reveal combined with yesterday's lair footage of course.
The algorithm had done something and he was now sitting in front of two million people without the mask that was supposed to be on his face which was perfect timing as always.
"While I understand why most of you are riled up, she had a part to play in the Island Incident after all but at the end of the day, she had 90% of her income cut and also lost her account as well. The part that she had to play in Familiar Isle had to deal with Yvelion chasing me and I'd appreciate it if you stopped sending her death threats since the Incident wasn't for naught and I met one of my Familiars."
On cue, Riffi ran up and wrapped herself around his shoulder cutely.
「SHES SO CUTE WHAT😭😭」
「okay he's not lying the familiar was worth it」
「he's soft and I respect it honestly」
「nah fr the death threats need to stop」
「still not fully forgiving Ichinose but okay W move」
「that familiar wrapped around him like that I'm crying🥺」
「W streamer behavior honestly」
「Tch… soft」
"Well I admit I'm a bit soft, I guess that's what makes me Koya then." Koya placed his hand on his chest with a smile. "But well then, leaving that aside, I finally checked out this manga that you guys recommended in my personal DMs and I've read all thirteen volumes of Yūsha to shite shōkan sareta ga? Zen'in koroshite yaru which is also known as I Was Summoned as a Hero? I'll Kill Everyone and before I list everything I have to say about it truthfully, all I have to say is you guys were right… I'll rate this manga a solid 9.8/10 masterpiece."
「THE WAY HE SAID THE NAME😭🔥」
「LETSSS GOOOOO WE TOLD HIM」
「9.8 LETS GOOO」
「bro finally read it after all this time💀」
「PEAK TASTE CONFIRMED🔥🔥」
「wait why 9.8 and not a 10 tho??」
「nah I need to hear this explanation」
「somebody clip this」
「the goat has spoken」
「chat we manifested this moment」
"Why is it a 9.8? That's pretty easy." He said before more comments flooded that one. "The MC has silver hair and crimson eyes which is a very generic combination, aside from that, I'll put it in the Top 15 of manga I've ever read."
And with that finally settled, he began breaking down the whole thing like he usually did for his streams.
…
Ichinose couldn't believe it… She couldn't believe her eyes at all as Koya ended the stream. Right from the beginning, Koya had been her favorite streamer.
She had some suspicions after all since they had been in the same store together and he was checking out the manga but at the time there was a chance that it was a coincidence but it hadn't been at all.
He really was that man… He was someone that shamelessly reviewed manga and anime even during the times when people saw it as corny until he became famous for it, though nobody had ever seen his face and though for some reason, she couldn't remember his early streams.
Ichinose could remember that he was the one that encouraged her to start streaming when she asked him in his DMs and she had a little, maybe a big crush on him too.
She had told herself it was normal but she didn't believe it that much anymore.
Koya turned the rotating chair to her and showed her the book.
"I think we talked about the book in that manga shop where you recommended some pornhwa for me." Koya said while dropping it back on the table and making her blush. "You really have some good taste, Ichinose."
She looked down at the bed, not sure of what to say.
Sure he was her long-time crush so what was she supposed to say? I've had a crush on you ever since you gave me encouraging words to start my own channel?
Ichinose felt shy all of a sudden and she was a streamer that did many things like running to her death for money.
"Uh… Thank you." She said. "I can recommend more manga that you'd probably like if you want, that is, I don't really mind either way."
"Well then, you can hold that thought." Koya said with a sigh. "I never thought I would want to take a break from my streaming career."
Given he was a millionaire now and he barely had time these days, Streaming was a bit counter productive.
He would try to do more after mid-terms though his life had gotten a lot busier.
"Don't… don't take a break." He looked at her and saw Ichinose pump her fist in determination, even with her tired face. "Your channel has helped so many people out, so many people have found their first anime and manga because of you so you can't give up."
"I didn't plan to, besides seeing your face pumped up like that is cute." He said, turning to take the mangas back into his storage ring and Ichinose was blushing again.
She was tired of blushing like a maiden in love from novels but her body was the one doing it.
"Have you even studied for Mid-terms?" Koya then asked with a yawn as Riffi unwrapped from his shoulder going back to the ground and Ichinose's eyes widened. "Oh I forgot, you were one of the top rankers in the test Misora gave so you should be alright."
"I uh… haven't refreshed my memory. I thought I was going to do myself in before mid-terms so I wouldn't need to worry about studying." She said, looking a bit alarmed.
"Well then, better get to reading." Koya said smugly. "I'll probably get everything so you don't need to worry about me."
Just then, the door of the room opened and Disguise Master stepped in again with a sigh.
She had two full stacks of textbooks under each arm and the expression of someone who had already accepted that tonight was going to be long.
"Don't believe Master, he hasn't studied one bit." She said and dropped textbooks on the bed next to her. "Here are all of your textbooks accounted for…"
"Why are they here?" Ichinose looked up.
"I want you to stay here with me for now." He suggested, he couldn't have Ichinose leave his line of sight and try to off herself again.
Koya didn't know if there was some sort of penalty for not completely saving Heroines and he didn't want to take chances at all, what if Fate did something to make her die as she arrived in her room? Or what if she got bullied again? There was a gash on her stomach too, there were too many possibilities to simply let her leave here.
"And I'm not asking." He added, cementing the fact that he was very serious about this.
Ichinose stiffened up but she nodded as well.
"I understand, if that's what you want…" She resisted the urge to blush again. "Then I'll do what you ask of me."
She would probably be alone in his room… with him, were they going to do what she usually saw in porn? Ichinose wasn't sure she was ready yet.
"Good then." Koya said, he was done with this evening but it seemed Fate wasn't done with him yet. The door opened and Misora looked in while wearing a dress.
She took the room in about one second with Koya in the chair and Ichinose on his bed with textbooks that had not been opened and even Riffi on the floor looking completely unbothered, however Misora's expression did not change.
"Koya-kun… What is Ichinose doing here?" Misora asked immediately, she could maybe deal with Riffi being able to turn to a woman more bustier than her but at this point, he was just bringing new women into his dorm room, thinking she wasn't going to do anything about it. "Are you perhaps sexually frustrated?"
If he was then she could intervene immediately, once he surrendered his full self to her, she would be able to know and handle it immediately but for now, she was very blind in that regard.
"Not at all, Ichinose, why don't you tell our Class Rep what you're doing here?" He asked, as Class Rep, wasn't she supposed to be in control of the students?
Misora turned to Ichinose and noticed the bruises.
"Were you… bullied?" Misora asked and Ichinose nodded a bit. "That doesn't really explain why you're here."
"I tried… to commit… suicide." She replied, unable to look Misora in the face and Misora's eyes darkened.
"I see, while there is no rule against committing suicide, please avoid doing it again. I know it must be a traumatizing experience…" She said. "If Koya-kun wants to take care of you, there's no rule saying otherwise. You may stay here for a few days at max."
Ichinose nodded slowly, thinking that the Class Rep's voice was very odd. It sounded like those jealous girls on TV.
The ones that smiled perfectly and said everything correctly and were absolutely furious about it the entire time.
"Well then, you heard her." Koya said, placing a leg above the other and taking out his ALI phone to see the chat. "Misora, is the party done?"
"Of course, it was just a simple one." Misora replied and walked into the room, standing in front of him directly with her back facing him. "But I have an issue Koya-kun, I bought this gown in a rush and as a result, I wasn't able to get my proper measurements in so it's a bit tight, if you'd help me unzip it, I can go take a shower now."
"I find it hard to believe that you made that mistake." He said and tried unzipping it but it barely budged, she wasn't wrong, it was a bit tight around the edges and he found the cause of that, her breasts were bulging out. "You're really stuck, huh?"
"I can help." Disguise Master suggested however Misora raised an eyebrow and she backed off.
"No need, Koya-kun already started so he'll just finish up." She said and bit her lip as Koya touched her back. "Mmm… You just need to drag it down in one fell swoop."
"Oh?" Koya said and dragged the zipper down all the way, subsequently ripping the dress and the straps of her bra as well making everything fall down to the ground and reveal the Class Representative's curvaceous busty figure with her underside being covered by her panties. "I ripped it, sorry."
Misora sighed and took hold of her pink bra and the remnants of her dress shamelessly showing off her body.
She walked to the door with the same composure she walked everywhere. The ripped bra and ruined gown in her hands might as well have been a handbag she was carrying out of a store.
"It's fine, I can buy all of these back but since these are my very favorite pairs, you have to come with me to buy new ones." She said without looking at him and Koya nodded.
"Sure, if I can make it up to you that way." He said and she walked to the door, opening it again.
"The Mid-terms are tomorrow, both of you should study and sleep." Misora said and turned back to them. "If Ichinose is staying in your room, no sex. If I hear even a wink of it, I'll throw you out."
"Sure Misora, goodnight." Koya said with a wave and she exited. "You too."
Disguise Master nodded and curtseyed.
"I'll be watching Master." She told him and walked off as well, closing the door behind her and leaving them in the room.
"What was all that about?" Ichinose asked with a blush and then blushed even harder when Koya started taking off his shirt.
"I'll be having my bath first, any objections?" He asked and she shook her head. "Alright then, Riffi, make sure she's safe."
"Alright Master~"
Ichinose turned her eyes to Riffi and blinked.
"Did the cat speak?" She blinked, she couldn't believe her ears.
She looked at Koya's back disappearing through the door with the towel over his shoulder. He had not explained and had simply left her alone.
She looked back at Riffi.
"Why wouldn't I be able to speak? I'm not just a pet." Riffi said as she took offence and bounced onto the bed too. "But I have a question, why are all of you wanting to mate with Master?"
"Huh, mate?" She blinked. "You mean sex? I don't want to have sex with Koya-kun."
She lied and Riffi knew as well.
"Your scent says otherwise, you'd obviously spread your legs if Master asked you to." Riffi said and then tsked.
If these different women would surround her Master then she needed to be more pro-active as she would get last place and when Mating Season came around, her Master would be too busy with other women to focus on her like he had done with Hakai in the forest.
She could see them with her void and they were going crazily at it, it made her wonder what would happen if she was the one instead. She set that thought aside for now.
"I-I wouldn't." Ichinose said firmly. "I have no interest in your Master, you can keep him if you want." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Is that so?" Riffi raised her eyebrow slowly. "You won't be able to say that in a few hours."
And truly, she wasn't able to say the same… The lights were soon off and the whole dorm apartment was calm with her laying on Koya's bed next to him except he had pulled her really close with one hand on her waist.
Her nose was pressed against his chest and he held her protectively, she couldn't leave his arm even if she wanted to.
"See what I mean?" Riffi called out in her human form, The bed was big enough for three of them to lay on and he had one hand on Riffi's waist with one hand on hers as well, Ichinose had to admit that she was surprised upon finding out the cat became a big-breasted beautiful girl who could put her to shame. "Can you deny it now?"
Ichinose couldn't speak, she really didn't want to speak… Being held so protectively made her feel all warm inside and without knowing it, she fell asleep immediately after.
She hadn't slept that quickly in months and she also hadn't slept that well in longer than that.
…
Class 5 was completely full, even though it was before the exams… The time that the students usually lounged outside was being spent doing their final reading.
A few girls were shaken in the class too, apparently Misora had threatened them and they were the girls that he had taught.
They were seated, silent, and very focused on their desks. It was a shame really but the most important thing here was that…
"Ichinose, are you done reading up?" Koya asked.
Riffi had finally entered his soul since they couldn't bring any Familiars to the exam, she wanted to use Void to hide herself but he wanted to use her to check on the other Familiars so she obliged.
"Y-yes, Koya-kun." She said, trying not to remember what transpired last night. She failed at that immediately upon closing her textbook.
Just then, the door opened and the class stiffened completely as Saki walked into the classroom with a neutral look on her face.
The room went from low murmuring to complete silence in under a second. People who had been urgently rereading tucked notes away as nobody wanted anything in their hands when she walked in.
"Morning Class 5…" She snapped her fingers and everyone's textbooks vanished into thin air. "No more reading, you've had enough time to revise. Welcome to the ALI Mid-terms, since these are your first Mid-terms, I'll make sure to explain it for you so that you'll completely understand but before that…"
Several members of the Disciplinary Council entered the room.
"All of you will be searched thoroughly for any materials that link to malpractice." She said. "If you are caught with even one implicating material, you will be expelled immediately and you will lose Class Points as well."
She nodded and the members of the disciplinary council spread carefully across the whole class.
"Now begin searching."
