The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

For several days in a row, Eiji had been on guard against a possible sneak attack from Nene. However, after four or five days, he hadn't seen even a shadow of her.

Although he didn't know where she had gone, Eiji felt somewhat relieved, as he no longer had to make the difficult choice between selling his body and enhancing his physical abilities.

If only I could freeload the Nene's "Jibakujin."

Eiji had been indulging in this unrealistic daydream more than once.

Soon, the weekend arrived.

On this day, after school, Eiji pulled out an envelope from his desk, glanced at it, and then walked out of the classroom.

After he had left, the classroom erupted into a heated discussion.

"Damn it, which vixen sent a love letter to Nangou-kun this time?"

"Nangou-kun is the shared property of us girls in Class 1-1! How shameless!"

"Nangou-kun is just too kind. He goes to every single love letter meeting, even if it's just to clearly reject them. If only he were a bit colder and ignored them."

"Hehehe... Nangou-kun, my Nangou-kun... I want to make you all bloody... hehehe..."

The girls gathered together, chattering away as they criticized the girl who had written the love letter.

Over the past few days, there had been girls who wanted to confess to Eiji, but as soon as someone showed such intentions, they would immediately be ganged up on by all the girls in the class, who would do everything to stop them, resulting in a stalemate.

After some discussion, the girls of Class 1-1 decided to compromise and treat Eiji as the shared property of Class 1-1, allowing no one to make a move on him.

However, as news of the super-handsome first-year boy spread, more and more girls from other classes, and even senior students, began to set their sights on Eiji.

"By the way, Kusakabe-san, you're on good terms with Nangou-kun, right? Can you try to convince him to ignore those love letters?"

Someone tried to strike up a conversation with Kagami Kusakabe, who was organizing something nearby.

"I think your way of thinking is the problem. Someone like Eiji-kun would never be tied down by ordinary girls like us. Just being in the same class as him and being able to talk to him occasionally should be enough."

Kagami looked exasperated as she waved her hand, then put on a "what can I do with you guys" expression.

"Anyway, since you all like Eiji-kun so much, I have some good stuff here. Do you want to buy it?"

"Good stuff? Is it shoujo manga?"

"Even more exciting than shoujo manga!"

"What is this?!"

The girls gathered around, surrounding the photos Kagami was showing, each of them excited, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Line up! One photo for 2,000 yen, a set of twelve for 20,000 yen! No bargaining, limited print run, first come, first served!"

"I'll take a set!"

"I'll take one... I'm short on cash right now... Damn it, I can't collect all these goodies! Looks like I'll have to cut back next month!"

"Kusakabe-san, how did you manage to get these photos? You're a god!"

"Hmm... If there's only one copy of each photo, I can't just randomly poke holes in them... My Nangou-kun..."

The set consisted of twelve photos, each one different, with Eiji looking as beautiful as a painting in every single one.

Not only could they not bear to damage even a single one, but they also couldn't just leave them lying around. They would probably have to buy frames to protect them... Ugh, monthly expenses are going to skyrocket!

The girls, caught up in their frenzy, didn't notice that a few boys in the class were showing signs of jealousy and resentment.

"Let's go!"

In a corner where no one was paying attention, a tall, unnamed classmate, along with two hostile-looking followers, quietly left the classroom.

Ikki glanced at the three boys leaving out of the corner of his eye and sighed softly, clasping his hands together in a prayer.

I hope they'll be okay.

"I like you, Nangou-kun!"

In the dense forest, a senior student with twin tails blushed as she boldly confessed to Eiji, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The senior was quite cute, with a bit of a baby face, but—

Eiji's eyelids drooped slightly. His swordsmanship talent gave him keen insight, allowing him to instantly see through her uniform and calculate her measurements.

She was no better than Nene. What a tragic story.

"I appreciate your feelings, senpai. I'm truly moved that you like me, but unfortunately, I have to reject you. Although it pains me greatly, we simply aren't meant to be. It would be better for you to forget about me..."

Eiji recited his lines emotionlessly, as if reading from a script, then quickly turned and left, disappearing in no time.

The senior, who hadn't even processed what had happened, was left standing there, slowly turning to stone.

"Honestly, isn't there a senior who's both beautiful and has a great figure?"

Eiji grumbled as he walked toward the forest exit.

What he liked were the big waves. Why was it that all the classmates and seniors who had confessed to him these past few days either had no figure or no looks?

But then again, when he thought of big waves, the first person that came to mind was his senior, Touka Toudou.

With her exceptional features and well-rounded figure, she was truly a rare beauty.

And then there was her best friend, the super-rich girl, Kanata Totokubara. Based on Eiji's estimation, her figure might even be better than Touka's, with a 90% chance of being an E-cup. In terms of size, she was undoubtedly the strongest in Hagun Academy!

Actually, Princess Stella was also impressive, with a figure and looks that were no less than Touka's, if not better. But since you shouldn't mess with a friend's girl, Eiji kept his distance.

"Hmm?"

As Eiji walked along the forest path, three of his classmates suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye.

The three of them were hiding under the shade of a tree, crouching there sneakily, seemingly discussing something very shady, with sinister smiles on their faces.

"Listen up. When the girl who's about to confess comes, we'll jump out together and say that Eiji Nangou is a super playboy who toys with girls' hearts. He won't be able to wash himself clean of it, and the girl will definitely be disappointed in him. That's when our chance will come! Remember, no matter who succeeds in winning the girl's heart, no one is allowed to stab the others in the back!"

"No problem!"

"Definitely!"

"Good brothers!"

The three of them agreed readily, looking like the best of buddies, full of brotherly loyalty.

Whoever doesn't stab the others in the back is an idiot! Eiji thought sarcastically, watching from the shadows.

Eiji:｜д)!!

Wow!

If I hadn't rejected her fast enough, I might have really fallen into their trap!

Although Eiji thought their plan was basically unfeasible—after all, even if the girl were disappointed, the three of them, with their less-than-stellar looks, didn't stand much of a chance—he still decided to take precautions.

Eiji quietly opened his student handbook, turned on the recording function, and then crouched down to sneak closer.

Snap!

A branch snapped under his foot.

Eiji: "...."
