“Kuhk.”

I had my own opinion on how the guys would turn out.

In the other world’s academy, power is prioritized over other schools. As long as it is not a serious crime such as murder, everything is justified by the logic of power.

However, the logic of this power also considered efficiency.

A collapse caused by an S-class cadet can result in about 10 casualties. However, if it’s an A-class cadet, no more than 3 Hunters should be touched.

In the case of Class B, there is only about 1 person.

In this way, students who were sexually exploited or forced to run errands were called “vicious slaves” in the academy.

The only difference from simple school violence is that there is no extortion of money or valuables. Rather, the income from hunter activities at higher ranks can be tens of times higher than that of lower ranks.

Financially, I had no regrets.

Therefore, bullying within the academy is limited to simple errands or sexual exploitation.

“I’m sorry I committed a sin that deserves death! ”

“Well, then. I have to go to the infirmary for treatment quickly···.”

“Stop moving!”

I said while looking at the beautiful sunset glow.

“What a beautiful world, isn’t it for you arrogant thugs?”

They had expressions on their faces as if anger was rising to their chins, but they could never utter a single word.

I whispered in the tense atmosphere.

“Not only did you gather the bullies of the academy and form a violent association called Yeongjinhoe, but now in front of everyone… why did you try to harass this innocent girl?”

“Ah, no! I said I was sorry, you son of a bitch!”

Whew.

You’re swinging it after all.

At first, it was just a dry apple.

If it doesn’t work, you always resort to violence.

Even though I know I’m no match for you.

At that moment, I swung my fist hard at one of the bullies from Yeongjinhoe who was running out quickly.

TOOHWAAAAH-!!

With a single impact, the guy was blown 4 meters away.

Ts …

The brute force was so strong that it completely blew the guy away without any special stat boosts!

The guy who flew 4 meters ugly groaned as if in pain, holding his stomach where he had been hit.

“Kaaaah!”

When they saw their friend rolling around on the ground for a while without even landing properly, the other bullies’ faces crumpled.

Even from the crossed eyes, I could sense great confusion. No, just looking at the way his arms were already trembling, I could tell that he had completely lost his fighting spirit.

That was when.

[The emotion of ‘Buggy’ has changed to ‘Woody-level change of stance’.]

“I knew I’d do something like that to those bad guys······!”

“Suddenly？”

The students who were watching this scene from behind snorted and whispered at the unknown change in posture of the Youngjinhoe.

But the cowardice of these guys was beyond my imagination.

Even amidst such negative gazes, he clearly changed his stance without paying attention.

“Why are you bullying your fellow classmates and causing trouble!?”

“I didn’t know he was that kind of guy. We’re really innocent, right? Lucius.”

······.

Anyone who sees this will know that he is the victimized female student’s lifelong best friend.

The group of bullies who had been standing behind the guy with the sticking out nose called ‘Buggy’ like a folding screen completely changed their attitude.

Me, at this moment.

I saw the fear embedded in each and every gaze looking at me.

My rank is S-class!

On top of that, it’s the best grade ever among first-year students!

Even if I were to pick 10 people right here and make them half-retards, the country would still treat them as normal S-class people.

Because in this society, there were frequent attempts by other countries to suppress hunter groups through forceful means, or to assassinate them.

No matter how hard they try to destroy the world, the interests of each country are more important, so secret intelligence agencies have been actively assassinating hunters, knowingly or unknowingly.

Hunters placed in a real-life environment similar to daily battles!

In order to survive in this harsh world, you had to be able to protect yourself at least. Therefore, depending on your rank, you were granted a certain amount of license to use violence.

“Heh, hehe… Lucius, I think you’re right.”

So, even if I pick two of them and lightly punch them, they fart like this.

But we should never be fooled by their current hypocritical appearance.

Because those guys, according to the universal 「Youngjinhoe Code of Conduct Chapter 3」, will soon be tattling on their seniors. But what can I do? I’ve already beaten up Batista, the fourth-year high-ranking player you’re asking for help from.

“You guys.”

“······.”

Let me call them in. The guys who were standing at attention looked at me with tense eyes.

“Go back and get this?”

“Oh, no. I will never do that!”

“Hahahaha, who told you that? Do we look like such petty guys?!”

“Needles, there’s a Youngjin union meeting coming up soon.”

“Ouch!”

“How about that fact?!”

In times like these, the best thing to use is to maximize empathy.

Thanks to the fact that they showed me an unprecedented change of stance at that moment, they were now included in my National Pokédex.

[Maximize Empathy – Bad Student Buggy]

[I felt fearful of you. If you hadn’t stabbed me, I would have definitely returned to the Yeongjinhoe camp and complained to my seniors, but since you were so perceptive, I thought I should cover up the truth to save my life.]

After checking each of them one by one and finding out that no one would report this to the Youngjinhoe, the commotion was over.

Of course, this incident will not reach the ears of Yeongjinhoe at all.

If I take this oath and leave it at that, the next time these guys call me to Yeongjin, they won’t give me any evidence against me.

“Apologize to the victimized student.”

“Oh, what!”

The guys I was talking about approached the victimized student. Then they got down on their knees in front of the female student and started apologizing.

“Wow! Lucius.”

“To restore peace in this classroom.”

“Hehe, that’s so cool! Is that why all the honors follow Lucius around?”

“Me too, I should be a Lucius fan from now on!”

Huh!?

Finally, the rich, reclusive tycoon is free from the rumors of using money to manipulate young ladies.

Is this giving me a complete assessment of myself?

I smiled and said to the victim, who was named ‘Shin Ji-ah’.

The victim, who had a cute face and was wearing glasses, was a female student.

Perhaps, if I hadn’t saved them, they might have done many bad things.

“Want to go to the store?”

“Wow…Wow! Thank you!”

Then, the honorifics who had been watching the scene with warm feelings shouted.

“Lucius! We will feed you!”

“Oh, it’s not a restaurant, it’s a store···.”

“Me too! Do you want to go to the store too?!”

One by one.

Looking at the honors of raising their hands, I smiled and said.

“Follow me or not. Do whatever you want. Let’s go!”

Then, he wrapped his hand around Shin Ji-ah’s shoulder and left for the store.

***

Once a month.

A place where all of the executives of Youngjinhoe gather.

Yeongjin Union Association.

Daniel Doreas, the second-ranking officer there, called in the first-year students who had recently brought down the reputation of the Youngjinhoe and asked them.

“You guys have recently become the devil’s slaves of a guy named Lucius?”

“Oh, no!”

Then, Sima Feng, who was in charge of the Yeongjinhoe’s strategist, asked a sharp question.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m just asking to confirm. Tell me what Lucius asked of you.”

Lucius and I did sign something like a secret oath.

Wouldn’t it be okay to say this much?

The stiff-faced Bug and his screens glanced at each other.

“That, that···. That’s actually telling me not to bully other kids.”

“Do your academy life properly······.”

“······..”

Yongjin’s executives looked dumbfounded and doubted their own ears.

“What the hell are you talking about? The greatest S-class student of all time has appeared, and you told him not to encourage his mischief, but to stop bullying other students?

“Yes! That’s right.”

Then, ‘Rolling, Princess Elise’s exclusive maid,’ who was rumored to be the most popular girl in Yeongjinhoe, said with a smile.

“Ahahaha! This is fun! These new students are really.”

Although Lucius’ name was not mentioned, the remark was likely meant as praise for Lucius.

Wiggle.

At her favorable evaluation, the thick veins on the foreheads of the remaining Yeongjinhoe executives stood out clearly.

At that time, the leader of Yeongjinhoe.

R spoke in a voice as thick as the shadows that descended around him in the pitch-black darkness.

“You guys aren’t his proper devil slaves.”

“Yes, yes··· That’s right, kekekekeke!!”

Kukwakwakwakwakwakwakwa-!!

What did you hit me with now?

The shockwave that suddenly came flying in from the air sent Bigi flying 5 meters and he stood up again, spitting out red blood from his mouth.

“Go and find out who the hell those guys are that guy is using as slaves. You’re in the same class, so you can do that, right?”

“K, kk. No problem!”

Bigi and his screens answered for a moment, sweat pouring down their faces.

It’s a fiery Friday, one day before the weekend!

As I headed to our recently opened club room, I checked the favorability rating of the entire academy group.

[Arpen Academy’s favorability rating towards you: 0]

[Arpen Academy female students’ favorability rating: 12]

[Arpen Academy male students’ favorability rating: 7]

========================

This is ‘Shin Ji-ah’ who goes to the store with the main character and says thank you…!
