Chapter 277: "Yuuki-san, Your Posture is Wrong. Let Me Correct It for You."
....
The middle-aged man grinned as he mapped out his plan.
Filthy capitalists! Just you wait!
His followers were momentarily stunned by his ambition, but excitement soon washed over their faces. It was a brilliant idea. They were already outcasts in the Eastern Courntry; why not cross the ocean,
eliminate those corporate fat cats, and rule over a territory of their own? The sheer thought of it was intoxicating.
"Boss! Let's head out right now!" the yellow-haired thug urged, his eyes gleaming with greed.
"Mhm!" The leader nodded firmly.
Immediately, the group began drafting their battle plan. Operation: Escape the Eastern, Dominate the Eagle.
Back with Seito.
In the living room, Kirukiru Amou, Shiro, and Kanade Tachibana were sitting around the dining table, waiting for Seito as he busied himself in the kitchen.
A spread of Sichuan cuisine—Mapo Tofu, Twice-Cooked Pork, and Mao Xue Wang—was already laid out. Carrying a final plate of Spicy Diced Chicken, Seito sat down next to Amou.
"Time to eat, everyone," he said with a warm smile.
They hadn't done anything major that morning, mostly focusing on grinding for Divine Power. The three girls picked up their chopsticks and began to dig in.
Amou took a bite of meat and glanced at Seito. "By the way, when are you going to upgrade your Divine Artifact?"
It had been a while since Seito broke through to Godhood, yet he hadn't mentioned upgrading his equipment. Amou was curious.
"I need to reach the God-King rank first," Seito replied, shaking his head.
Condensing Divine Runes required Divine Power—not the kind granted by a Godhead, but the raw experience points shown on his status panel for leveling up. Upgrading a single piece of equipment to God-King rank cost ten million points. He simply couldn't afford it yet, as he was saving every point to advance his own rank.
Amou nodded in understanding and went back to her meal. Half an hour later, the four finished eating. Seito turned to Shiro.
"Shiro, we're heading off to school now."
They had taken the morning off to log into the God Domain, but they still had to attend afternoon classes.
"Okay~" Shiro replied in her soft, melodic voice.
Chiba City, Sobu High School.
Class 1-D.
The first period of the afternoon had already begun. It was PE class, led by the teacher Yamaguchi Daifuku. He scanned the crowd and noticed Seito was missing.
"Where is that kid?" Yamaguchi rubbed his chin.
He had only woken up at noon today. After Seito knocked him out yesterday, he had slept for a full day and night. It showed just how "gentle" Seito had been—if he'd been any rougher, Yamaguchi wouldn't be waking up at all.
However, since Yamaguchi wasn't in the class group chat, he didn't know Seito had taken the morning off. He was looking for Seito specifically because he had manifested his own powers earlier that day. Recalling how he'd been knocked out, he was certain Seito was one of the lucky ones who had manifested a high-tier ability.
Tap, tap, tap—
Footsteps echoed as Seito, Amou, and Kanade entered the school grounds. Seeing his class already at PE, Seito bid the girls farewell and walked toward the field.
"Ahem." Yamaguchi's eyes sharpened the moment he saw Seito. "About that... Seito-kun, you—"
THUD!
Before he could finish his sentence, Seito used Spatial Movement to appear behind him and delivered another swift strike!
Flump—
Yamaguchi's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto the grass once again.
The students of Class D: "..."
Their mouths twitched in unison. The guy is technically a teacher; couldn't you show him a little face? Seito, completely unbothered, used Spatial Movement to dump Yamaguchi in the infirmary before returning to the track. That guy was always looking for trouble. It's PE class—just let everyone play and stop being so wordy.
"Ahem."
Standing before his classmates, Seito cleared his throat and scanned the group.
"Since the teacher is... unavailable, I'll be taking over. PE will proceed as planned. Everyone, stand at attention for five minutes!"
He naturally stepped into the role of the acting PE teacher. No one objected; in the grand scheme of things, this was a minor detail.
A minute later, seeing the class standing in a straight, silent line, Seito began "inspecting" everyone's form. He walked up behind Asuna Yuuki and naturally reached out.
"Yuuki-san, your posture is wrong. Let me help you correct it."
As he spoke, his hands moved with practiced ease. The students nearby stared, their expressions pained. Correction? You're clearly just taking advantage of her!
Asuna's face flushed a deep crimson. She took a sharp breath, about to protest, but Seito had already moved on to his next target.
"Kato-san, yours isn't quite standard either. Let me help."
"Mm~" Megumi Kato's usually expressionless face took on a faint rosy hue.
After about thirty seconds of "adjusting," Seito withdrew his hands with a satisfied look.
Zip—!
With a flash of Spatial Movement, he appeared behind Utaha Kasumigaoka.
"Utaha-san, you—"
"Stop right there!"
Utaha spun around instantly, hugging her chest protectively. "Seito-kun, you really are a pervert. Just because others don't call you out doesn't mean I won't."
"A guy like you, using 'posture correction' as an excuse for your antics... if you weren't passably handsome, you'd have been beaten to a pulp by now!"
"You're honestly..."
"Nothing but a piece of trash! A degenerate! You'll end up in a jail cell sooner or later!"
Utaha hadn't lost her edge. She was as sharp-tongued as ever—truly the quintessential "poison-tongued" heroine.
The rest of the class turned to watch, curious to see how Seito would react to being called out so bluntly.
Seito simply nodded in deep agreement.
"Well said!"
"Now, can we get back to correcting your posture? The five minutes aren't up yet."
