Chapter 184
After returning Sibylla’s body, I made my way back to the Chairperson’s office without hesitation.
I had already attached something like a tracker to Pyemon’s location, so everything I needed to do in the morning was done.
After that, there wasn’t much left to do.
I removed the hypnosis from the guards who were waiting in the Chairperson’s office, got the final reports on everything, and wrapped up the necessary tasks.@@@@
Still feeling somewhat free, I called for my wives.
The excuse was to ease the tension of Shia and Alice, who were supposed to spar during lunch.
But in reality, I was using this as an opportunity to gauge their reactions before confessing to my mentor.
“So, you’re going to spar with Ninomiya?”
“Yeah, there’s no one else to fight. What do you think?”
“I think it’s fine, but...”
“Do you think you can win? I mean, it’s Ninomiya we’re talking about.”
“I’m not jumping in without a chance.”
“Well, if that’s the case, then it’s your call. No need to stop you, since it’s all or nothing for you.”
“Yeah! I’m really curious to see Yujin fight seriously!”
Everyone was on board with the sparring against my mentor, but...
“So, here’s the thing... if I defeat my mentor and take the #1 spot in S-Class, we need to talk. Seriously, let’s all sit down and discuss things.”
“......”
“......”
After that, the silence stretched on.
When it came to organizing the harem, they were eerily quiet.
The silence pressed down heavily on me.
“Well, I just meant we should have an honest conversation about everything...”
“......”
“......”
But neither of them said anything. They just eyed each other in silence.
...What is this? It’s suffocating. Help.

Before the lunch schedule began,
Shia and Alice gathered in the Chairperson’s office during the break.
They both immediately sealed their lips.
It was because of Yujin’s message: “If I win, we should talk—just the four of us.”
“......”
[Hey, is it possible... that Yujin is in love with Ninomiya?]
[You think Yujin has fallen for Ninomiya?]
Of course, on the surface, they weren’t speaking.
But inwardly, they were having a lively conversation.
A secret discussion using mana between just the two of them, transmitted through telepathy.
Their brows furrowed at the same time.
‘I knew that woman would be the most dangerous, but I didn’t expect anything to happen... until now?’
First, Shia.
She was taken aback by Yujin’s words.
He knew very well how she and Alice were balancing on the edge with him...
But now he was suggesting they all sit down and talk, with Aika included?
Only three women in total—
Alice. Shia. Aika.
The same three candidates Yujin had mentioned for "people he likes" months ago.
Shia wasn’t so naive that she couldn’t guess what that meant.
The scene of Yujin confessing to all three of them at once was already vivid in her mind.
‘No way... Yujin, did you... with that woman... before your regression?’
One more thing.
Shia had been the first to suspect that Yujin had regressed.
Because of that, she was certain.
Her long-held suspicions had now solidified into a hypothesis.
Before his regression, he had likely started a harem, cheating with all of them.
[...This is how I see it. What do you think?]
[It makes sense. In my memories, Yujin was caught between me and Shia.]
Luckily, though, it seemed like their wicked plan might not be so easy to pull off.
After the Seol Hayeon terror attack on Thursday,
Yujin had become the top priority for protection.
So, rushing in immediately after the sparring?
That wouldn’t be so simple.
Even if they wanted to congratulate him as friends,
the people guarding him would definitely stop them.
[It’s fine.]
[Huh?]
[Did you forget who I am? I’m an executive of the Cheonha Clan. I know everyone here.]
Shia said it with unwavering confidence.
Ah, the guards? The Awakened here?
I’ve known them since the days when I carried a bookbag to school.
There’s no way they’ll stop me.
A few words in advance, and they’ll definitely let us through, no problem.
As Shia puffed out her chest, her already flat chest became even flatter.
[Don’t worry. I’ll talk to you beforehand. Just wait around, and once the sparring is over, we’ll rush in.]
[As expected, Shia! You’re amazing!]
Meanwhile, Alice was practically bouncing with every breath.
Her body moved with fluidity and ease.
Shia subtly shrugged her shoulders.
[Yeah. Anyway, let’s go with that plan. We’ll handle things as they come.]
[Yes!]
Finally, Yujin, who had been listening in silence, caught their attention.
His stomach had started to hurt, and Alice was quietly observing.
Shia’s hand reached out with a grin.
“Forget about the clueless fool. Let’s do well, us girls. The sparring.”
“...?”
Alice tilted her head, confused.
The two top students, Shia and Alice, who were definitely going to face off in the sparring,
had their plans for the match ahead. But, why were they so eager?
After all, neither of them needed this match, since they were already famous worldwide as S-Class Awakened.
It was a bit puzzling, but their decision was final.
Grab.
"Well, I’ll leave it to you. Shia."
But she didn’t doubt it at all.
With the threat of Aika looming right in front of her, Shia was, more than anyone else, a solid ally.
She simply thought, There’s no way she’ll do anything to me—and brushed it off.
...She didn’t realize that Shia was staring intently at her chest.

A short time later,
The highlight of the Academy Festival.
The sparring between the cadets began.
[Yu, Yujin Cadet!! It's like meeting an arch-enemy from a thousand years ago....]
Crack.
“———Die, fat lump.”
“......!!!!?”
‘Guys, no way... did you actually fight each other!!?’
It was a far more intense spectacle than any typical WWE match.
