Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the restroom.
Hearing that someone seemed to be coming over, and quite a few of them at that, Takasaki Souichi's expression changed. He quickly controlled the shoe back onto the floor.
A moment later, four or five boys in student council uniforms hurried into the restroom.
"Takasaki-kun, are you okay?", As soon as they entered and saw Takasaki Souichi, they immediately asked with concern.
"Huh? You are?", Takasaki Souichi looked at the boys who had suddenly appeared, completely confused.
Looking at Takasaki Souichi's puzzled expression, the boy in front wearing a student council uniform explained, "We're members of the student council."
"Just now, Kurasawa Ayana from the disciplinary committee saw a group of boys take you into the restroom, so she immediately went to tell Matsuura-sensei. Then Matsuura-sensei asked us to come check whether you were being bullied."
"If you're being bullied or mistreated, we'll help you. Don't worry, we're from the student council. We won't let students get bullied."
As he spoke, the student council members all looked at Takasaki Souichi with concern.
But after hearing them, and seeing their concerned expressions, Takasaki Souichi felt no gratitude at all. Instead, he became inexplicably annoyed.
"Who said I was being bullied? Who said I was being mistreated?", Takasaki Souichi narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke coldly to the student council members.
"Uh...", Hearing the sudden question, the student council members were at a loss and exchanged looks.
"In your eyes, I'm just a cockroach curled up in some dark corner, right? Even breathing normally becomes proof that I'm being bullied?", Takasaki Souichi continued his cold questioning, his voice full of mockery and anger.
"No... that's not what we mean...", One of the student council members tried to explain.
But Takasaki Souichi loudly cut him off.
"No, that's exactly what you mean! In your eyes, I'm weak, someone you can casually look down on, a loser, right?"
The student council members felt things were becoming more and more ridiculous and quickly explained.
"We really weren't thinking that much! We just heard from Ayana and Matsuura-sensei that you were taken into the restroom, so we rushed over to help."
Their voices carried helplessness and urgency as they tried to make Takasaki Souichi understand their intentions.
Hearing that, Takasaki Souichi let out a cold laugh, "Hehehe! I understand now! The root of the problem is those two fake women."
"Kurasawa Ayana? Cheerful and outgoing? Warm and generous? A school-idol-level beauty?"
"Heh! It's all fake!"
"She's always acted nice to me just to maintain her image as a beautiful and kind person!"
"This time, she informed you and had you come help me for the same reason."
"And that big-breasted, empty-headed woman Matsuura Anju who spends all day dressing up only wants to get out of her trainee teacher status faster. She's afraid there'll be a bullying scandal in her class, so she had you come help me."
Takasaki Souichi looked as if he had already seen through everything and was exposing the "sinister intentions" of Kurasawa Ayana and Matsuura Anju.
As he spoke, he waved his arms around. His expression was twisted and fierce, as though he were uncovering some shocking conspiracy.
After hearing his words, the five student council members were completely stunned.
They simply could not understand Takasaki Souichi's train of thought.
"No, Takasaki-kun, Ayana and Matsuura-sensei are worried about you and want to help," one member could not help saying.
"Yeah! How can you assume the worst about people like that? That's going too far!", another member added, displeasure appearing on his face.
"What do you mean fake and empty-headed? Those words are way too vicious!", someone else said angrily.
Looking at the student council members angrily criticizing him, Takasaki Souichi let out a laugh that seemed to say he had seen through everything.
"Heh! I knew it. You can't keep acting anymore, can you?"
"Just like those two fake women, Kurasawa Ayana and Matsuura Anju, all of you are fake too."
"You say you're here to help me, but you never sincerely wanted to help. You're just interested in those two bitches because of their looks."
"Deep down, you definitely look down on me. You probably discriminated against me before too."
"You only came here pretending to help because you want to gain the favor of those two pretty women."
"Otherwise, why didn't you come earlier? Why did you only come after they said something?"
His words poured out one after another, illogical yet full of hostility.
Hearing Takasaki Souichi's shameless and twisted reasoning, the student council members were dumbfounded.
"No, we didn't know before...", Someone still tried to explain.
But Takasaki Souichi no longer wanted to give these "ordinary people" the chance to argue with him.
"Damn it! Damn it! All of you should die."
"You're all worthless trash!"
"Fight! All of you, beat down the people in front of you!"
"Beat them until they're covered in blood!"
"Smash their heads open!"
Takasaki Souichi raised a hand and activated his superpower, making the student council members and the boys who had tried to bully him start fighting one another.
Watching them become a tangled mess, Takasaki Souichi laughed proudly.
The student council members still had no idea what was happening.
"Why did I suddenly attack?"
"Why won't my fist listen to me? Why does it want to hit this guy in the face?"
"My leg won't obey me either. It keeps wanting to kick him down..."
Looking at the dozen figures before him twisting together like puppets on strings as the student council members and the others fought one another, seeing how anxious and helpless they were, unable to control their own bodies and having no idea what was happening, as though they had been cursed, Takasaki Souichi laughed wildly with satisfaction.
"What a wonderful power!"
"With this ability, I am a god!"
"These pig-like creatures are nothing more than mortals!"
"These incults can't even control their own salivary glands, while I have already grasped the strings of fate!"
"Hahaha!"
"From now on, I will rule this entire school!"
"No one will dare look down on me again. No one will dare speak disrespectfully to me again!"
"I'll do whatever I want!"
Laughing loudly, Takasaki Souichi strode out of the restroom.
At this moment, his confidence had reached the limit. His face was filled with arrogance and conceit unlike anything he had shown before, as though the entire world lay beneath his feet.
Right now, if a dog happened to pass by, he would probably use his superpower to slap it twice.
After leaving the restroom, Takasaki Souichi touched his stomach and felt hungry.
Perhaps the frequent use of his superpower had consumed too much energy.
Or perhaps it was because he had just punched and kicked those boys.
In any case, Takasaki Souichi wanted food right now.
So he headed straight for the cafeteria.
As soon as he reached the entrance, rising steam mixed with the rich smell of tonkotsu broth hit him in the face.
Takasaki Souichi decided to eat a bowl of tonkotsu ramen from the ramen shop near the entrance.
The ramen there tasted great and was very popular.
A long line had already formed.
But Takasaki Souichi had no patience for waiting. He swaggered straight to the front.
"There's a line," someone muttered quietly.
Some people looked displeased when they saw him cut in.
Hearing that, the extremely confident Takasaki Souichi immediately snorted and looked back coldly.
Perhaps because he appeared so confident, nobody directly said anything.
Seeing this, Takasaki Souichi smiled disdainfully.
"A bunch of cowards who only bully the weak. A bunch of losers!"
"Student, please go line up at the back?", The cafeteria lady serving noodles noticed Takasaki Souichi cutting in line and quickly stepped forward to stop him, a trace of helplessness in her voice.
"Cut the crap and get me a bowl of tonkotsu ramen," Takasaki Souichi shouted impatiently, his eyes full of arrogance and rudeness.
"Uh... alright," Seeing that nobody behind him was saying anything, and that Takasaki Souichi looked gloomy and overbearing, the cafeteria lady did not want trouble and quickly prepared a bowl of ramen.
"Here, your tonkotsu ramen," The cafeteria lady held out the bowl.
But Takasaki Souichi glanced down at it and suddenly sneered.
"I don't eat pork."
As he spoke, he raised a hand and used his superpower to flip the bowl through the air.
The scalding soup immediately splashed onto the cafeteria lady's arm and body.
The burning pain hit instantly, causing her to let out a scream.
Hearing the painful scream, Takasaki Souichi laughed proudly, "A mortal dares speak to me while standing? And even tries to order me around? Ridiculous."
Laughing loudly, Takasaki Souichi turned and walked away from the food counter.
The person who once always kept his head lowered and acted timidly around school had now become someone completely different.
He straightened his back and held his head high. Confidence and arrogance flashed in his eyes. Every step seemed to announce his dominance over the world.
The people waiting in line behind him watched with different expressions, but none of them said anything.
Because Takasaki Souichi's behavior was simply too strange, like that of a madman.
Nobody wanted to provoke someone whose mind seemed broken.
And seeing that even after acting like this, nobody dared say a word against him, combined with the feeling of controlling everything whenever he used his superpower, Takasaki Souichi's confidence continued to grow.
"I'll take control of the entire school and become the Demon King of the campus."
"The first step, and the step I want most, is to start by taking revenge on those three women."
The three women Takasaki Souichi referred to were none other than
Takasaki Aika, Kurasawa Ayana, and Matsuura Anju.
Takasaki Aika, his sharp-tongued adoptive younger sister who never respected him as her older brother, deserved his revenge.
Kurasawa Ayana, a popular school beauty. On the surface she was cheerful and friendly. She would even take the initiative to greet and chat with the gloomy Takasaki Souichi.
But Takasaki Souichi believed that this school-idol-level beauty only greeted and helped him to maintain her image as a kind person.
So although he secretly liked Kurasawa Ayana, Takasaki Souichi still felt that she was far too fake.
He would tear away her mask of kindness and thoroughly defile her.
Then there was Matsuura Anju. Takasaki Souichi believed that, as a teacher, she had allowed others to discriminate against him.
Although she had said she would help him and sometimes gave him fake smiles, she was completely irresponsible. Otherwise, why had he never been able to make friends before?
