Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Principal Rikka's Call
She seemed to get overly excited whenever she imagined Hikari being pinned down or ridden by other women…
Hikari had no idea that the outwardly obedient and arm-linking Akane Nanao was harboring such bizarre thoughts in her mind.
If Akane Nanao were thinking about other men, Hikari would certainly sense it keenly.
Even if Hikari couldn't detect it, tools like the Pure Love Radar or the Pure Love Crane would surely raise alarms.
But Akane Nanao wasn't thinking about finding men for herself—not even half a man—she was thinking about finding women for Hikari.
Such a thought completely bypassed the detection mechanisms of the Pure Love Radar.
After resolving the chaotic love triangle, Hikari escorted Akane Nanao and Natsuha Shinomiya back to their respective classrooms.
Then, he returned to his own class.
Perhaps because they were sufficiently "fed," Akane Nanao and Natsuha Shinomiya didn't cause Hikari any trouble for the entire afternoon.
The rest of the afternoon passed uneventfully.
Yoshida Saki occasionally approached him hesitantly to chat, and the three gyaru girls came to bother him a few times. That was about it.
After school, Hikari didn't head straight home.
Instead, he visited the clubs he had previously joined, dropped by to socialize, and participated in some club activities.
Since he had joined so many clubs, it was necessary to show up once in a while to maintain connections. Besides, it didn't take much time.
The main thing was that he wanted to see if there were any wild blonde jerks he could "blast."
To Hikari's regret, although there were plenty of guys with dyed blonde hair, none of them triggered his system's "blastable" alert, nor promised any rewards upon being blasted.
Some of them gave Hikari the feeling they would cause trouble eventually, but he couldn't just preemptively convict them without cause and then blast them.
Even if Hikari himself could justify it, the Pure Love System wouldn't approve such actions, so there would be no point rewards.
Blasting them wouldn't be as fun under those conditions.
Even though no blonde jerks showed up on the radar, Hikari marked several potential troublemakers with Pure Love Warning Cranes. This way, if something happened, he could respond even if it was out of the Pure Love Radar's range.
Nobody knew the real reason Hikari visited so many clubs. In any case, he was well-received in most of them, thanks to his looks.
If one were to say which club Hikari was most popular in, it would undoubtedly be the Kendo Club.
Although Hikari was a newcomer who had only recently joined the Kendo Club, on his first day, he defeated the club president, the goddess-like Miyajima Sakura.
Even though Miyajima Sakura had only used her left hand and seemed to hold back.
Subsequently, Hikari returned to the Kendo Club a few more times.
On his second visit, he easily defeated the vice-president, Masafumi Kase, who had challenged him.
Then, he went head-to-head with Miyajima Sakura, who fought at full strength, and still won.
This performance earned Hikari a host of fangirls within the club.
By now, Hikari was considered the undisputed male god of the Kendo Club.
BANG!
With a strike from Hikari, Miyajima Sakura's wooden sword was sent flying to the ground.
"My eighteenth defeat against Hikari-kun in a Kendo match...",Miyajima Sakura smiled wryly as she bent down to pick up her wooden sword.
Ever since realizing Hikari's exceptional Kendo skills, which surpassed not only the entire club but also her own, Miyajima Sakura had persistently sought matches with him.
Almost every time Hikari visited the Kendo Club, she would abuse her authority as president to drag him into a match.
But against Hikari, who possessed master-level swordsmanship, Miyajima Sakura was consistently defeated.
Nonetheless, she remained undeterred and kept challenging him.
Seeing the determination in Miyajima Sakura's eyes, Hikari smiled and said, "President, your talent in Kendo is already impressive. Each defeat brings you closer to improvement. Truly amazing."
"Thank you." Miyajima Sakura smiled, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and graciously accepted the compliment.
"But, Hikari-kun's Kendo skills are the real deal."
"However, she also praised him, saying: 'Hikari-kun's swordsmanship level is truly amazing!'
"I feel that after sparring with you over a dozen times, my swordsmanship level has significantly improved."
"In previous years, I could only hover around the top ten in the high school kendo competitions. But this time, I feel I have a real chance at breaking into the top three."
"And even so, when I face Hikari-kun, I still feel like I'm standing in front of a deep, unfathomable abyss, unable to see the bottom."
Hikari waved his hand modestly: "You flatter me, Captain.'"
Miyajima Sakura smiled meaningfully but didn't continue praising him. After all, after Hikari defeated her, he was undoubtedly the number one in kendo at the school. With his skills, there was no need for excessive praise—his strength was self-evident.
Miyajima Sakura simply smiled and said: "Hikari-kun, if you're free this weekend, would you like to visit my house?'"
"Both my parents have excellent swordsmanship skills; they taught me kendo. When they heard about your abilities, they became very curious about you."
"Especially my mother. Didn't you say your foster mother once took you to meet her? When I told her, she said she indeed remembers you."
"And she said she's very curious about your swordsmanship level. Plus, it's been years since she last saw you, so she'd like to meet you again."
Hearing this, Hikari's mind flashed to the mature and beautiful face of her mother, Miyajima Tsubaki. He smiled and said: "Alright, if I have time, I'll visit the Miyajima house to see Aunt Tsubaki."
"That's all for today's kendo practice; I need to leave now."
With that, Hikari handed the sword back to Miyajima Sakura, shook the soft hand she extended to him in a friendly gesture, and then left the kendo club.
Watching his tall and upright figure disappear, a spark of emotion flickered in Miyajima Sakura's eyes.
Actually, it wasn't just the other girls in the kendo club who had feelings for Hikari. Even Miyajima Sakura found herself developing some inexplicable emotions toward him.
After all, she had been the strongest in kendo within the school.
Then Hikari suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with swordsmanship that was far superior.
Initially, Miyajima Sakura thought Hikari's level was about the same as hers. But once they started sparring, she realized she couldn't win against him.
Admiring the strong is human nature.
Especially when it comes to activities like kendo that are related to martial skills.
Furthermore, Miyajima Sakura thought about how Hikari always agreed to spar with her whenever she asked, never minding her shortcomings.
In addition, Hikari had a gentle personality and a handsome appearance. Even though he was her junior, Miyajima Sakura couldn't help but feel a little moved.
After all, what girl doesn't harbor romantic feelings? Even as the captain of the archery club and the school's goddess in many people's eyes, Miyajima Sakura was still just a young high school girl.
'Hikari-kun is so popular. Should I find some time to spend more time with him...'
'Maybe invite him home for a meal or something. After all, it's really unfair to always have Hikari-kun spar with me without giving him anything in return.'
'My mom keeps urging me to find a boyfriend. Maybe I should bring Hikari-kun home and tell her he's my boyfriend...'
Various thoughts swirled in Miyajima Sakura's mind.
She remembered her mother, Miyajima Tsubaki, mentioning that she wanted to see Hikari again, not just because of his swordsmanship.
Miyajima Tsubaki said that when she saw Hikari as a child, she thought he was particularly clean and good-looking.
Now that he had grown up, she guessed he was a very handsome young man, so she really wanted to see him again.
However, this remark sounded a bit like an aunt teasing a handsome young man, so Miyajima Sakura didn't mention this to Hikari.
———
On the other side.
Hikari had no idea that after he left, Miyajima Sakura was thinking about all these things.
She was even considering bringing him home to meet her mother as her boyfriend.
As Hikari visited various clubs, three gyaru girls who were closely monitoring his movements began implementing their brilliant plan.
After leaving the kendo club, Hikari headed to the archery club.
He planned to casually participate in some archery activities before heading home.
On his way to the archery club, Hikari unexpectedly received a phone call.
He pulled out his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Principal Rikka?"
The caller was none other than Rikka Sumeragi, the principal of Seika Private Girls Academy, whom he hadn't heard from in several days.
Typically, when Principal Rikka called him, it meant there was work to be done.
So Hikari asked directly: "Is there a female student who needs psychological counseling today?"
Principal Rikka politely greeted him and said: "Yes, that's correct. There may be a female student who needs your help today. However, it's not 100% confirmed yet. I still need to communicate with her to confirm."
"After all, asking you to do counseling requires some mental preparation."
"I just wanted to notify you in advance so you can be prepared and keep your phone available."
Hearing this, Hikari felt a bit puzzled but still agreed: "Alright."
After hanging up, Hikari found it strange.
Usually, when female students approached Principal Rikka for psychological counseling, they had already mentally prepared themselves. It was then up to Principal Rikka to arrange a meeting between Hikari and the student.
For example, last time with Kisaragi, she was very enthusiastic and proactive after learning about his role, to the point where it made him uncomfortable.
This time, however, Principal Rikka said she needed further communication, as if the student wasn't ready yet.
It was indeed odd.
But this wasn't Hikari's concern. It was Principal Rikka's job, and he didn't bother thinking too much about it.
Since there was no immediate task, he decided to head to the archery club to shoot some arrows while waiting.
———
Meanwhile, in a classroom, Reina and her two gyaru friends were huddled together discussing their plans.
Yukina asked: "Reina, what's the great idea you have to catch Hikari-kun so we can successfully throw a party?"
Ruri chimed in: "Yeah, yeah! Reina, tell us! How are we going to catch that guy Hikari? I even brought a bunch of toys in my bag today—I can't wait."
Reina smiled mysteriously, took out her phone, and opened an app, "Take a look at this."
Yukina and Ruri quickly leaned over to look at Reina's phone screen.
"What is this? A map?"
"This map looks like our school's layout. Reina, why are you showing us this?"
The two gyaru girls looked at Reina in confusion, completely baffled.
Reina explained: "This is indeed our school's map. But that's not the point. The point is this red dot on the map. Do you see it?"
"Guess who this red dot represents."
Yukina and Ruri exchanged glances and answered in unison:
"Hikari-kun?"
