In the hallway of the third-year student building.
Eiji stopped walking for a moment and let his girls go to their classes first.
He looked at the two rewards he got from Miss System with a serious expression.
"These names... I'm not familiar."
Just kidding.
He knew what Haki was from One Piece. It was a mysterious power that allowed the user to utilize their own spiritual energy or willpower to achieve superhuman abilities.
And since he gained mastery of three types of Haki.
Checking the reward descriptions, Eiji was excited.
First, the Observation Haki. This type of Haki involved using the sixth sense to sense the presence of others, predict their movements, or even see the future in an advanced level. This was often used to avoid attacks.
Second, Armament Haki. This haki allows the user to harden parts of their body (or objects) to create invisible "armor" that is extremely strong. It increases attack and defense power, as well as being the only effective way to injure Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
Finally, the Conqueror's Haki. This is the rarest type of Haki and cannot be trained; one must be born with the "will of a king" to possess it and the protagonist in the original work possesses it. Users can exert their willpower against others, causing weak-willed individuals to faint or be intimidated. Advanced users can also layer their physical attacks with this Haki.
With Eiji's current power, his Haki level was at a very high level. He could use it to show off later.
"As for the Voice of All Things?"
This was an unfamiliar name to him.
He didn't know what franchise this ability was from but from the description, he knew it also came from One Piece.
It was an ability rarer than the Conqueror's Haki. Only less than ten people had it in the original work and the protagonist was one of them.
This ability allows its user to hear sounds or messages conveyed by inanimate objects and animals that do not speak ordinary human languages.
"It's somewhat similar to the Voice of Ingredients from Toriko. The difference is, the Voice of All Things doesn't just allow me to hear the voice of ingredients."
"Well, it's a good harvest after my hard work."
Eiji shamelessly mentioned he had worked to get all that. In reality, he looked relaxed and was having fun in the process.
Miss System rolled her eyes.
In situations like this, her host often did not speak human language.
A short while later.
Eiji had taken his seat in his new class, class 3-A and I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement.
Girls like Lala and the others who were previously in the same class as him were still in the same class as him.
But now it's not just them. There are also Yukino, Yumiko, Yuigahama, Ebina and Saki in her class.
The most interesting thing is that the protagonist Rito is replaced by the protagonist Hachiman. Incidentally, the boy with eyes like a dead fish even sat next to him.
They sat in the back row with him sitting in the legendary seat, the seat close to the window.
Eiji's arrival to class today certainly surprised many students in class 3-A. Especially the boys, they didn't seem happy with his arrival.
"Hachiman, is it just me or are a lot of the boys in this class unhappy with my arrival? They seem to wish I had never come."
"That's not just your feeling, that's exactly what happened."
{I'm one of them. Ugh...! Why does Eiji have to sit next to me? Someone, take my place. I can't go through this year with Eiji as my neighbor!}
Hachiman said flatly, but in his heart? He was complaining about his seating position.
The heroines in the class found him pathetic.
Eiji gave the Oregairu protagonist an amused smile, "Gosh, I don't remember ever offending them."
"You do it naturally just by your presence, Eiji."
"How exactly?"
Hachiman raised his eyebrows, he doubted Eiji really didn't know.
However, he honestly said as he pointed at one of the pretty girls in the class, Yuigahama.
"Not just Yuigahama, all the pretty girls in this class have something to do with you. What other boy would be happy to know the one who monopolized them all came to class for the first time?"
"I understand, they're just jealous. It's natural because that's human nature."
"???"
Eiji's voice was loud enough for everyone in the class to hear.
Except for Hachiman who was used to dealing with him, almost all the boys in the class glared at him.
They cursed Eiji in their hearts just because he was so handsome and all the pretty girls in the class were rumored to be in romantic relationships with him.
It made them jealous and felt the world was very unfair.
Actually, they were also reluctant to be in the same class as Eiji.
He was like the King of the Jungle, the Lion. He monopolized all the females in the class— no, school. He did so until the males of the lower species had no chance of dating any of them.
When the teacher arrived and class time finally began.
Hachiman was relieved that in this situation, he could at least get his peace back as a loner.
That was what he thought.
He tried to focus on the lesson but Eiji suddenly nudged him.
{What else do you want?! The teacher is teaching, you'd better not disturb me, Eiji.}
Several heroines in the class including Yukino stifled a laugh.
Hachiman reluctantly turned to his neighbor who looked like a male god, or rather Riajuu.
Against the backdrop of the scenery outside the window, his appearance was too dazzling for him.
He refrained from clicking his tongue.
"What?"
"That teacher... he looks like he's hiding something."
Eiji said in a low voice that was like a whisper from his position.
He pointed at the bald male teacher who was teaching them history.
Hachiman thought Eiji was talking nonsense, but it managed to make him curious.
"Hiding what? He's just teaching history."
Suddenly, a fat boy with gray hair who was sitting in front of him turned around and joined the conversation.
He sounded enthusiastic.
"Maybe he's secretly a secret agent! He wears sunglasses outside of class!"
Hachiman knew who he was though he always avoided further involvement with him.
His name was Yoshiteru Zaimokuza. Other than his hair color being as unusual as Eiji's, the way he dressed was unusual. He wore a long coat over his school uniform, as well as black fingerless gloves in the summer.
But, the reason he had been avoiding him all this time was because he was a boy suffering from "8th grade syndrome", also known as Chuunibyou.
Eiji didn't remember Zaimokuza's name, but he vaguely remembered he seemed to be another male character in Oregairu.
Hachiman frowned, "It's because of the sun glare, Zaimokuza. Don't make things up."
He refuted the fat boy with words that made sense.
Actually, he was starting to regret it and wanted to end their conversation.
But Eiji held his chin and supported Zaimokuza's words.
"That's not impossible. Look at the way he's holding his chalk. It's very precise. Moves like that are only possessed by people who are used to paralyzing opponents with a single touch."
The heroines in the class were not ordinary humans, they could hear the three boys whispering.
Inevitably, they became curious and wondered if the teacher who was teaching in front of the class was a secret agent?
No, no, Eiji must be joking!
Tanaka-sensei is obviously just an ordinary history teacher.
[Yukino: Ignore those boys.]
The first person to decide not to take the three boys' conversation seriously was Yukino.
The other girls followed her lead.
Zaimokuza nodded, he looked at Eiji excitedly and said, "Or maybe he's communicating with his base using morse code through chalk taps on the blackboard! Dots, lines, dots..."
His loud voice made Hachiman panic and try to stop the two of them, "Shut up! We'll get caught! It's just the sound of chalk!"
The protagonist Hachiman, nicknamed 8man for his clever and unpredictable problem-solving ability similar to a god of war, did not realize he was raising his voice.
He got lost in the conversation and formed a trio with the two boys.
Eiji shook his head, "That's precisely what matters! Simplicity is the key to disguise, Hachiman! He's making us think it's just the sound of chalk! You're so innocent."
{I'm not as bad as someone who made the Harem at school like you, Eiji. But you say I'm innocent?}
"What's the connection?!"
Hachiman continued to shout.
He didn't notice the stares from the teacher they were talking about and his other classmates.
[Ehem. Hachiman, calm down. You're making us the center of attention.]
The one who started the conversation, Eiji complained in his heart.
"I bet his briefcase is filled with spy gadgets! Including a super advanced water gun!"
{Zaimokuza, never mind. Stop making things up.}
Hachiman was getting tired just from talking to these people.
He looked back to the front of the classroom and froze because just then, his gaze met the teacher's gaze.
"You three in the back. Anything funny?"
Eiji and Zaimokuza immediately sat down properly.
The former was very calm as if this was not the first time he provoked the teacher with his actions.
But Hachiman panicked and tried to save the situation, "No, Sensei! We were just discussing... err... about..."
Eiji shamelessly said, "We were admiring how skillful Sensei is with chalk, to the point that we were theorizing about the special training Sensei underwent."
Yukino and the other heroines' lips twitched.
He wasn't lying, but the way he said it without guilt and praised the teacher at the same time took them by surprise.
As expected of you, Eiji.
You are shameless.
As a result, the teacher named Tanaka was not angry. Instead, he had a question mark over his head. "Special training?"
Zaimokuza raised one of his hands, "I bet Sensei can paralyze people with one touch!"
Hachiman tapped his own forehead.
It was over, they would probably be punished by standing in front of the class.
{Eiji, it's your fault!}
[My fault? Hachiman, your overly loud voice is the reason why the teacher is paying attention to us.]
Tanaka-sensei was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat and turned back to face the blackboard. "Focus on the lesson! And Zaimokuza... don't watch too many spy movies."
Hachiman was relieved, they weren't being punished!
However, he and most of the other students didn't realize there was something wrong with the teacher's reaction.
Zaimokuza looked at Eiji and Hachiman back and forth with a meaningful smile and whispered.
"He didn't deny that he had special training. Then our guess was right!"
"!?!?" Hachiman and the girls were eavesdropping on the conversation.
"Zaimokuza, forget it. You're not in your right mind."
"Partner, you're rude. I'm in my right mind."
"Who are you calling partner?! I'm not your partner!"
While Hachiman started arguing with Zaimokuza.
Eiji didn't look surprised by Zaimokuza's guess.
[In fact, what Zaimokuza said was not entirely wrong.]
Real or fake?
The heroines in the class did not expect the three boys' conversation to actually reveal the true identity of the teacher who was teaching them.
Ah, correction.
Hachiman was excluded because he acted like the most sane character in a comedy.
[With one of my abilities (Rasiel), I knew Tanaka-sensei was using a fake name and hiding his identity.]
[He's not an important character, just an NPC who was told by a certain heroine to impersonate a teacher at Kuoh Academy.]
[His goal is to gather information about me and send it to his boss.]
[That girl... Why bother doing this? If you want, I can tell you a lot of things about me. After all, we're engaged.]
[But what she did like a yandere made me quite satisfied.]
Huh? Who's the fiancée you're talking about, Eiji?
Many heroines are confused.
...
At the same time.
At Bonyari High School, the place where the protagonist and the girls in Nisekoi went to school.
"Eiji-sama, you're really amazing. On the first day of your third-year class, you have already discovered an elite agent of the police force that I sent to spy on you at school."
"You even know who the person who sent him was and didn't forget that we're engaged. Hehe... Hehehe..."
"Ah~! Eiji-sama, you love me so much. Marika loves you too!
It was Marika Tachibana.
In her classroom, she was looking obsessively at the few pictures of Eiji that had just been sent to her cell phone.
Without caring about the teacher and her classmates, she looked at his handsome face and screamed.
Several other heroines in Nisekoi happened to be in the same class as her this year.
One of them was Chitoge.
"Marika it's you! Sending people to spy on Eiji... That's illegal!
"Ara, Chitoge? Please stay out of my and Eiji-sama's business."
Marika looked at the blonde girl with the red ribbon with a disgusted expression.
Veins stood out on Chitoge's forehead and she said, "How could I not interfere? Eiji is also my fiancé!"
"!!!"
It wasn't Marika who was surprised, but the other students and the teacher in the classroom. Among the students, there was also the protagonist Raku.
Hearing that the two girls were engaged to Eiji.
His face became gloomy, the several green hats on top of his head shining.
"Hmph! What cheap girls."
He snorted and immediately turned his gaze to Onodera.
Compared to Chitoge and Marika, Raku thought there was still a possibility for him and his first love.
As long as Eiji didn't suddenly appear around the girl, he was confident he could make her his girlfriend and marry her after graduation.
While the protagonist Raku fantasizes about Onodera.
The girl herself was actually thinking about another boy, Eiji. She looked at Chitoge and Marika who were arguing with a bit of envy.
It was caught by her best friend, a bespectacled girl with her hair tied in a ponytail.
Ruri Miyamoto asked curiously, "Hey Onodera, you don't like Ichijou anymore and instead, you like the boy who is engaged to Kirisaki and Tachibana?"
Her words sounded confident as if she was a psychic who knew how to peek into the hearts of others.
But no, she was just good at reading her best friend's emotions.
"W-what are you talking about, Ruri-chan?! N-no, that's not it!" Onodera replied in a panic and her face turned red.
"I see."
Ruri knew she wasn't being completely honest.
She was suddenly curious as to what kind of drug Eiji had given her best friend that she had stopped being crazy about Raku.
After all, almost all the students in the same class as her knew they had liked each other for a long time.
But now?
That boy named Eiji somehow managed to woo the Onodera.
...
Meanwhile.
At the break time.
The person being talked about and thought of by many characters from various anime was having lunch at the Service club.
He wasn't alone of course. There was Yukino, Yuigahama and Pansy.
As the Harem King, he tried to divide his time to spend time with each of his women.
It's one of his processes before he goes to work again (changing the plot of various series or other anime).
But while they were talking— a familiar boy slid open the club's entrance in dramatic fashion.
He stood in the doorway, posing as if a knight or swordsman.
"Oh no, why is Chuuni boy— I mean Zaimokuza-kun here?"
Yuigahama whispered in Yukino's ear.
Eiji and Pansy could hear her.
"Let's listen to what he wants. There's no way we're going to kick him out right away."
Yukino said that without controlling the volume of her voice.
Zaimokuza could probably hear her, but he didn't care and continued with his movements.
Eiji's lips twitched.
"Hear, O souls trapped in the cage of mortal reality! My name is Zaimokuza Yoshiteru! A warrior who wanders in search of the meaning of battle!"
Zaimokuza introduced himself while pointing at Eiji and Yukino.
[He said it! Gosh, I feel a little embarrassed just by hearing it.]
"...." The girls in the room.
They felt the same way.
Yukino looked at Zaimokuza coldly and slightly disgusted. "Annoying."
Eiji pretended to cough and casually asked, "What do you want, Zaimokuza? This isn't a theater club, drama or anything like that."
Zaimokuza stepped inside, he ignored Yukino's cold words. "I did not come to play games, O Legendary Silver Knight! I need your help... no, more precisely, I demand your power!"
Legendary Silver Knight?
Oh, is it because I have silver hair?
But that legendary title...
Well, it does kind of suit me.
Eiji actually had a good impression of this boy suffering from eighth grade syndrome.
"You're flattering me, but what power? This club is just a place to help people who need help, not for... Wait, I'm suddenly curious."
Eiji changed what he was saying and asked, "How did you know about this club?"
"My partner, the Dead Fish Eye Knight told me that this place is where I can get the power I need."
[That must be Hachiman! This might be a small plot related to Zaimokuza and because he told him about the problem he had.]
[Hachiman told him to come to the Service club. As for himself? He's probably relaxing right now.]
Hachiman...!
Yuigahama shouted the dead fish-eyed boy's name with annoyance in her heart.
Yukino and Pansy had the urge to hit him.
In class, Hachiman was eating lunch in class while listening to music using a headset.
Anyone could see that he was relaxing.
"Hiss!"
He suddenly shuddered and had a guess as to why it happened.
Back to the Service club.
Eiji motioned for the boy in front of him to sit down and said, "You've come to the right place. Tell us, what help do you need?"
Zaimokuza was happy to hear that. To be honest, the gazes of the three beautiful girls in the room made him nervous.
Since the conversation in class this morning, he was also more comfortable talking to Eiji. Just like Hachiman, he seemed like he could be his partner!
But for now, he took a deep breath, his face became a little more serious, he switched to a normal speaking mode though still with a dramatic tone.
"I... I've been working on a light novel! But I don't know how to get an objective opinion on my story! Please help me!"
Yukino let out a long breath. At least, it wasn't a strange request.
"So basically, you need a review of the draft of the novel you wrote."
"Exactly, Yukinoshita Ice Fairy."
"....."
The temperature around Yukino dropped a few degrees, the room becoming colder.
She was clearly unhappy with the nickname Zaimokuza had given her.
Zaimokuza shivered slightly, although he was suffering from eighth grade syndrome, he thought the drop in temperature was because the air conditioner in the room was broken.
"Speak normally."
"Hiik! Alright... Yukinoshita."
Yukino's sharp and cold gaze made Zaimokuza scream.
He was sure he felt some sort of supernatural level of oppression from her.
