Amid the pressure from the entire class blaming them, Nino responded with overflowing anger.
"You're all so noisy?! Just because of being expelled from school? You think we care?"
"I'm stating now, if one of the five of us is expelled, we'll all leave together! We won't hesitate even a bit!!!"
Nino announced that dominating declaration to live and die together with her sisters.
Ichika smiled bitterly. "Sorry for troubling you, Nino."
Ichika was one of those who didn't pass. She regretted why she didn't study seriously and instead busied herself playing on her phone watching celebrity dramas. Now she truly regretted it.
Nino turned her back to her older sister while waving her hand, signaling that they were sisters and would leave together if they had to leave.
Ichika sighed. If there was still a chance, she swore she wouldn't watch dramas anymore; she had to set that aside and focus on studying. Maybe she could pass, because her score was only lacking a few points.
Ichika had a dream of becoming an actress, that's why she didn't focus while studying because part of her mind was on the drama series on her phone to hone her acting skills. But now, she was dragging down her sisters instead. As the eldest sister, she felt very ashamed to the point of wanting to disappear.
Meanwhile, Yotsuba's condition wasn't much different. Her green hair ribbon hung limply, reflecting her very shattered feelings.
With difficulty she could meet her childhood friend at this school, did she have to leave now? She felt she was truly useless.
"Listen, I am the leader of this class. If I tell you to sit, then sit!"
Ryunosuke swept his gaze toward the quintuplets with a strong king's aura.
As for the source of this aura...
The main cause was because he had just spent points to save them. His heart hurt half to death, but he held it back with all his might so it wouldn't explode, which instead made him look very frightening. In others' eyes, it looked like a true ruler's aura.
Actually, he just really regretted the points that flew away...
The quintuplets nodded in panic and sat obediently. They more or less understood that Ryunosuke had used some method to save them.
How dare they argue? They could only obediently wait for the teacher to start the lesson.
Yotsuba held back the urge to cry. She promised to study seriously and wouldn't disappoint that man again.
As for Nino, instead of being angry from being yelled at, she slowly lowered her folded arms. Her face blushed red and she sat very obediently.
Ryunosuke was very satisfied with their reaction. At least the points he spent weren't wasted in vain...
Remembering he had spent 280,000 points to save them, his ruler's aura became even thicker, there even appeared to be black and red lightning flashes around him. He felt he would soon awaken Haoshoku Haki.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
(After going home later, I need to be comforted by Megumi, I feel like I'm about to turn evil.)
He meant "evil" because he was very stingy and regretted his money...
Nino who had already sat down felt her heart pounding hard. She felt Ryunosuke today was very cool! Although his appearance was ordinary and not as handsome as Hirata, she really liked his firm speaking style—truly a bad boy style.
As for Hirata, Nino had already thrown him far from her mind. She even felt disgusted. When her sisters were cornered by the entire class, Hirata didn't dare utter a single word.
Nino was no longer interested in a coward like that. Although Hirata's appearance was her taste, she preferred bad boy type men. Her eyes now sparkled, and she nudged Ichika's arm who sat beside her.
"Don't you think Akasaka is very cool?"
Ichika smiled sourly. "Yes, yes, he's quite cool. Can you sit still? Class is about to start."
Nino pouted and fell silent, but during the lesson, her eyes kept glancing toward Ryunosuke.
There were five other people doing the same thing... namely Sato Maya, Karuizawa Kei, Nakano Yotsuba, Hasebe Haruka, and Matsushita Chiaki.
Chiaki looked at her two best friends (Maya and Kei) with helpless feelings seeing their behavior like they had lost their souls.
Maya and Kei kept sighing, and occasionally when writing, they would glance toward Ryunosuke.
Chiaki felt like giving up. Getting Kei into trouble alone already made her feel quite guilty, unexpectedly her other friend jumped in herself. Although she was nicknamed the "low-spec" version of Ayanokouji, she really didn't know what to do now.
On the other side, Haruka was also troubled thinking about this.
The same thing happened to Yotsuba, the difference was she looked happier, even her green hair ribbon kept swaying excitedly.
