Chapter 104: Haruto Tobe: "Whoa! This guy is slandering me!!"
.....
"I browsed websites in front of my parents when I was fourteen!"
"I peeked at the widowed neighbor bathing when I was thirteen!"
"When I was twelve, I fell in love with my aunt!"
"You guys are seriously twisted, aren't you?"
"..."
Listening to the members of Class E brag one after another, the students of Class A and Class B felt their mouths twitch. Their minds were racing with frantic complaints. Is this something to be proud of? I might not be well-read, but don't try to fool me!
"Stop!"
Seito barked loudly. He immediately cut off these idiots, and the "idiot brigade" promptly shut their mouths, turning to look at him.
"Would you all die if you stopped bragging for five seconds?" Seito sneered, tilting his head back arrogantly. "Who among you is as impressive as me?"
"I'm seventeen! And I've already flirted with my high school homeroom teacher!"
This sudden sharp turn almost made everyone trip over their own feet. But the Class E idiots' eyes lit up instantly.
"It had to be you!"
"Impressive! You're truly the GOAT. Aren't you afraid Hiratsuka-sensei will hear you?"
"Wait, Class D has two beautiful homeroom teachers. Which one are you flirting with?" Tanaka Yoshitake asked, looking confused as he realized something.
Seito gave an elegant smile. "Both!"
"Holy crap! Legend!"
"I have to say, Seito, you are truly a role model for our generation!"
"Speaking of which, Chabashira-sensei wears black stockings, right? I heard someone say a girl's socks can get pretty... 'fragrant.'"
"Hmph! They're just 'tea bags'!"
"Hidetoshi, you're a real pervert!"
"I never would have thought of that move!"
"..."
Seito and the others stared at Hidetoshi Tabata, who was modestly waving his hand. They never expected to find such a high-level master among them!
Class A members: "..."
Class B members: "..."
Help! There's a pack of perverts in here!
Ryuen Kakeru already regretted bringing Class B to Class A. He felt like his reputation had been utterly dragged through the mud! He simply couldn't handle the sheer "idiot energy" Seito and his crew radiated. It was too twisted!
Many of the girls in Class A turned red, pretending they hadn't heard a word. Meanwhile, Hayama Hayato and the other boys had twitching mouths. If you looked closely, however, a few boys were looking at Seito with looks of pure admiration. A brother in arms...
Tobe Kakeru, sitting on the floor, was completely dazed. Are they here to mess with me, or just to brag? But... they were so strong! After hearing their "feats," Tobe was moved to tears of respect.
"Ahem!!"
Just as the conversation was reaching a fever pitch, a cough rang out, causing everyone to freeze instantly. They slowly turned their heads toward the back door.
Shizuka Hiratsuka and Sae Chabashira had appeared out of nowhere. This was incredibly awkward for Seito and the crew. Getting caught bragging like that felt like a total social death!
Chabashira-sensei scanned the crowd, her gaze finally landing on Hidetoshi Tabata.
"Tea bags?"
"Teacher, I was just bragging," Hidetoshi scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Oh. And here I thought you wanted to show me how you brew tea."
Hearing her words, Hidetoshi buried his head in his chest. He had learned all his "idiot talk" from Seito back in middle school; he was used to saying whatever came to mind. He just hadn't expected to be caught red-handed.
Slap!
Seito smacked him on the back of the head. "Moron! Get down and apologize!"
Without thinking, Hidetoshi dropped to his knees. But as he processed it, something felt wrong. He whipped his head around to glare at Seito. You dog! You dare hit me!
"Teacher, I was wrong," Hidetoshi apologized anyway, still kneeling.
Chabashira didn't speak, but Shizuka Hiratsuka, standing beside her, did. "The one who said he was flirting with his teacher—step forward."
Whoosh!
Everyone in the room instantly looked at Seito.
Without missing a beat, Seito reached out and slapped Tobe Kakeru across the face. "You brat! You're the one who said you were flirting with the teacher just now, right?" Seito sneered coldly.
Tobe was absolutely flabbergasted. What did I say? Wasn't that you? Hey! This guy is slandering me!!
Before Tobe could react, Seito covered his mouth and hauled him up. Kitahara Iori, being a top-tier teammate, helped Seito block Tobe's mouth!
"Hiratsuka-sensei, Chabashira-sensei, the person who spoke has been disciplined. Don't you worry!" Seito showed his pearly white teeth and smiled brilliantly.
"Right, right!" Iori chimed in. "I heard it too! This Class A guy was being incredibly disrespectful!"
Everyone else was collectively stunned. How do you two do it? Lying through your teeth with a straight face... truly impressive!
"Hmph! Don't loiter in other people's classrooms!" Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted and turned to leave. Chabashira-sensei lit a cigarette and followed.
Seeing them leave, Seito gave Tobe a friendly pat. "Good brother! Thanks for today. If anyone bullies you later, just find me! I've got your back!"
With that, he let go, and led the swarm of students from Class B and Class E out of the room. He left behind the bewildered Class A and Tobe, who was now face-down on the floor, sobbing from the pain.
Outside Class 1-D's back door.
"Go on back, we'll play together tonight," Seito waved to the Class E group before entering his own classroom.
Another happy day! Seito sighed with emotion as he sat down. Glancing at the "Ice Beauty" (Kaguya), "Flatty "(Yukino), "Wife" (Asuna), and the Little Secretary (Ai Hayasaka) behind him, he naturally turned his chair around.
"What's everyone talking about?"
The four girls looked at Seito in total silence.
"Why'd you stop?" Seito asked, confused.
"Why does the conversation die the moment I turn around?"
"Seito-kun, I don't think we're actually that close," Ai Hayasaka spoke up first, her eyes dead as a fish.
"That's not true!" Seito shook his head.
"Little Secretary, you can't be like that. Your eldest lady and I are best friends."
"Heh," Kaguya Shinomiya sneered. Seito was talking nonsense again.
"Don't give me that look," Seito grinned, looking at Kaguya. "When we were eating earlier, didn't you give me two sandwiches?"
"The taste was actually quite good. A bit behind Asuna, unfortunately... but better than Flatty! I bet the Little Secretary made them!"
