"My name is Kanna, a student from Class B."
"Is that so?" I tried wringing the water out of my soaked uniform while looking at her.
Funny how fire actually worked to burn off her puke on my clothes.
Well, at least it was effective… in a way?
"I'm so sorry!!!"
"You've apologized 16 times already. Can I ask why you had… that issue?" I looked at her.
"Well… I just have digestive problems," she scratched her head and looked away.
"Okaaaayyy… Bye."
"Huh?"
I immediately ran off, leaving her alone.
"??"
I dashed into class, sat down, and slammed my face on the desk.
"…"
Kanna? Holy shit! She's one of Kai's harem girls?? She's the second one too!!
The moment I heard her name, I had a bad feeling. I was hoping it was just someone with the same name.
But when she mentioned her digestive issues, that's when I realized it was really her.
I don't want to get involved with any of the heroines—I don't want to be mentally destroyed.
I don't hate them (except the nympho one), but I don't want to get NTR'd (even if I don't hate them).
If I know their fate, why don't I save them? Because I don't want to be some hero saving everyone—I just want peace!!
Besides, the reason she got NTR'd was partly because of Kai too.
From what I remember, Kai accidentally helped her while she was… puking.
Wait a sec, doesn't that sound exactly like what happened today?
After that, she came to Kai's class to thank him.
The two of them got close, and she started having feelings for Kai.
Under the watchful eyes of three bullies...
Later, Kai noticed those three throwing paper at a student.
"Wait, weren't they the ones who caused trouble with me after I escaped the cafeteria earlier?"
The story continued with Kai getting bullied more and more. Kanna stepped in to stop them and protect him.
Ah yes, the classic NTR setup. Bet they had a private talk with her and threatened Kai's safety, forcing her to obey even though she's clearly stronger or could've just told a teacher.
Of course. The author had to nerf everyone's intelligence just to force this dumb plot.
And oh wow, they're looking at me now!
"What are you looking at, huh?" one of the three sneered at me.
"Look at his face, probably just jacked off at home. What a loser," another one joked.
The one in the middle—tanned skin, dyed yellow hair—grinned at me.
"You—"
Before the bleached blondie could finish his sentence, all three of them got zapped by a strong electric shock.
"What the hell did you say to him?"
"C-Class Rep?!!"
Baron stared them down, instantly shutting them up.
…Gotta give Baron props this time. Perks of knowing someone strong, huh?
Baron walked over to me.
"If those guys give you trouble again, just call me," he said loud enough for everyone to hear.
Wow, a clear warning. If I were some random girl, I'd probably simp for him already.
"Honestly, why are you in Class F? You seem like you belong in Class S."
"My family held me back."
"What if they didn't?"
"I'd be in Class A."
"Class A? Why not Class S?"
I remember Class S accepts students with A-rank skills, right?
"My stats and talent are too low. Class S has high requirements, especially for potential. I'm only considered average. I mean, Class S is full of monsters."
Wow, I didn't even know that. Then again, I haven't finished reading the damn novel.
"Wait, so what are people with S-rank skills like?"
Baron looked at me seriously.
"Usually, their skills aren't disclosed to avoid exploitation. But as far as I know, someone with an S-rank skill can destroy an entire city. The academy currently has seven of them—three first-years, two second-years, and one third-year."
"What about the last one?"
"…"
Baron leaned in and whispered in my ear.
"Deep beneath this school… and I'd rather not talk about that person."
Okay, that sounds scary as hell.
Baron stood up and smiled.
"But anyway, don't overthink it. Other people's business isn't worth stressing over." He walked away.
"Huh… one useful piece of information for today?" I muttered under my breath.
Rudy, the guy sitting next to me, hadn't said a single word since the moment we sat together. It was like he didn't even acknowledge my existence.
"…Sigh."
Whatever. I might as well go over some notes. Baron and I still had a test coming up, and slacking off now wouldn't help. I opened my notebook, flipping to the last few pages—
"Um…"
A small voice cut through the air, soft but loud enough to grab the attention of everyone in Class F.
We all turned toward the classroom door.
Standing there was Alice.
And behind her… a girl with pink hair.
"There you are!" the pink-haired girl exclaimed, pointing straight at me.
My blood ran cold.
Kanna.
Goddamn it.
Canon events are the absolute bane of my existence.
Now everyone was staring at me, and I could feel the sweat dripping down my back.
"Thanks, Alice! So he really is in Class F."
"No problem!" Alice replied cheerfully, then shot me a glance and motioned for me to come over.
I did not want to. Getting involved with Kanna meant dragging her closer to hell. It was safer for her if I kept my distance.
'…Wait. i have an Idea.'
I glanced over at the three bullies. They were eyeing Kanna with the same sleazy, disgusting looks.
'If I can make sure those bastards get kicked out of the academy… wouldn't that help everyone involved?'
They were NTR villains. I didn't need to feel guilty.
It's not like I'm killing them or anything—I'm not ready for jail.
I smirked darkly to myself.
Kanna and Alice looked at me, confused.
They had no idea what I was planning.
