Actually, she really hated studying, but whose fault was it that this school was so trash. It somehow had a whole bunch of honor students, massively pulling up the average score, making it hard even to just pass.
Although passing was very easy for honor students with good grades, and they could even get the full living subsidy, her academic ability had always been low. If she were made to take the exam to get into Sobu High, there was absolutely no way she would get in.
It was rare luck that she got assigned to Chiba's number one prestigious school, and on top of that, there was a guaranteed graduation recommendation for high quality job positions. If she failed to graduate successfully or got expelled for failing too many times, that would be a huge loss.
"We'll talk about tutoring tonight. For now, we're going to buy clothes. If you don't come, then don't expect me to help you with makeup lessons."
Sakayanagi Arisu glanced at Kamuro Masumi, who only started frantically trying to study right before the exam, and said flatly.
"Buy clothes?"
Kamuro Masumi stared blankly at Sakayanagi Arisu, completely unable to understand why this woman suddenly wanted to buy clothes.
'Did Sakayanagi really set her sights on Hachiman? Is she going to change into cute clothes to please Hachiman?'
'"Otherwise, we usually wear school uniforms, and Sakayanagi's body is so weak and she barely goes out to have fun. What is the point of buying casual clothes?'
'No, that's not right. With Sakayanagi's body being that weak, whatever she wanted to do, she would lack the strength to do it.'
'Sakayanagi, this woman?'
'She wouldn't be planning to make me go seduce Hachiman, would she?'
Sakayanagi Arisu ignored the look of shame and anger in Kamuro Masumi's eyes after she finally reacted, propped herself on her cane, and slowly walked out.
Although she did not know why Kushida Kikyo had knelt down, even judging from Kushida Kikyo's facial expression and her body's instinctive reactions that it was horny, it was still very puzzling why Hachiman would do such a thing. It did not look like a prank either.
But what could be confirmed was that Hachiman indeed had interest in the girls in their class.
Not just Karuizawa Kei, Kushida Kikyo, Sato Maya, Sakura Airi, Hasebe Haruka, but also Shiina Hiyori, Ibuki Mio, and even Horikita Suzune who sat in the corner. It seemed that Hachiman knew something about all of them.
Since that was the case, she would let Kamuro Masumi go and test him, to see whether Hachiman would target Kamuro Masumi's unknown weak points and directly take Kamuro Masumi in as a dog.
Kamuro Masumi was not very obedient, but aside from Kamuro Masumi, there were not many suitable candidates around her that she could use. Limited by the environment, she also did not have the time to tame Kamuro Masumi.
If there were White Room trained students here, things would be much easier. White Room students who did not care about others and made use of others could be used freely.
However, Sobu High was not just Chiba's number one high school. Because of the demi-humans like the Elf Princess, it was watched by so many people. Even with that Ayanokoji gentleman's capabilities, White Room students with questionable backgrounds probably could not be sent in very many.
Sobu High was really hard to get into now. If it were easy, various big families and huge financial groups would have sent a large batch of people in long ago. Under the balancing of all forces, local families instead found opportunities by relying on their children who were already studying at Sobu High.
The Ichinose family, the Yukinoshita family, the Rurikawa family, if she wanted to find tools, she could only dig them up herself within Sobu High.
Sakayanagi Arisu thought with some regret while glancing sideways at Kamuro Masumi, who complained verbally but honestly followed along.
In fact, Sobu High, where honor students were everywhere and which attracted the attention of many forces for various reasons, was a very good stage.
If she could defeat one by one those young ladies, daughters of politicians, and demi-human students of different races here, just thinking about it made her excited.
It was just that Sobu High had no internal conflict system, and on top of her body being in poor condition, even if she wanted to fight she could not. Simply studying and taking exams was far too boring.
This dormitory study session... she had to seize this opportunity to properly fix her body.
If she delayed any further, more families might join in. After all, both human forces and demi-human forces had their own interests and demands. After balancing things for so long, there should be some kind of result. It was impossible to keep watching the children of the Rurikawa family, the Ichinose family, and the Yukinoshita family interact with the Elf Princess and desperately reap benefits.
If there were so many outstanding opponents competing here, and she could only watch helplessly because of her body, unable to do anything she wanted, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?
Sakayanagi Arisu made up her mind to stop testing Hachiman's attitude and decided that at this study session, she would sacrifice Kamuro Masumi and Kushida Kikyo and the others. First, she would fix her own body, then consolidate the strength of the entire class and wage war on the Yukinoshita family, the Ichinose family, the Rurikawa family, and even the Elf Princess and her group.

[Outside the Library]
Origamine Ouka cast a spell to conceal her figure and, together with the Amaki sisters Lemi and Lamy, watched the library entrance from afar.
Their alluring figures, pale jade like smooth long thighs, and all three had excellent waist to hip ratios. If they were separated, it might be hard to tell who was taller.
However, when the 182 cm tall eldest sister Amaki Lemi stood next to the 173 cm Amaki Lamy, their height difference became obvious.
If their youngest sister Amaki Lily stood with them, Amaki Lily would look like a delicate and cute, petite porcelain doll.
"What is Lily doing now? Could it be that she still hasn't made a move?"
Keeping a certain safe distance from Origamine Ouka, Amaki Lemi stared at Hachiman slowly walking out of the library toward the gymnasium, her eyes filled with confusion.
Each of them had awakened different abilities. Lily's cognitive obstruction ability was very strong. Even though they were all succubi and sisters, they could not ignore Lily's ability. Even if they used their phones to take photos of Hachiman from afar, they still could not see Lily's figure beside him.
Because Lily affected their cognition rather than causing hallucinations, even if Lily's image was captured by an object, they still would not be able to see her.
Unless Lily was right next to them and made a loud enough noise to make them realize her existence, there was no way to discover Lily.
However, cognitive obstruction was only meant to allow Lily to silently approach Hachiman. What they really needed to observe was their succubus ability to absorb vital essence.
Perhaps their succubus bloodline had not awakened completely enough, so they could not control the succubus instinct. Once they touched a human body, they would instinctively absorb toward killing the person.
Just touching with a fingertip would cause a person to lose bodily control. Touch for a bit longer and the person would die.
Hachiman's life energy was very strong and abundant. Just watching him from afar, just smelling the alluring scent emitted from his body from a distance, their succubus instincts that had been suppressed for many years were all stirring restlessly.
After Lily went over, she should also be unable to resist her succubus instincts and would desperately absorb Hachiman's life energy.
But now, not only could they not see Lily's figure, they also could not see Hachiman looking weak at all. He even walked toward the gymnasium slowly as if nothing had happened.
Did Lily not touch Hachiman? Or did she touch him briefly and then run away out of fear of being discovered?
She knew that getting too close to Hachiman and smelling the extremely enticing scent on him would cause the agitation inside their bodies to become uncontrollable, which was why she let Lily go first to test things.
On one hand, Lily had the cognitive obstruction ability and would not be discovered by others. On the other hand, Lily was the youngest, only a bit over two hundred years old.
Compared to her and Lamy, Lily's desires were a bit weaker. After taking suppressants, she should be able to endure it.
"No, there are fluctuations of magic being used on Hikigaya. He should be covering up the movements your sister is making on his body."
Origamine Ouka also stared at Hachiman. She did not quite agree with Amaki Lemi's guess and shook her head, blushing slightly as she explained in a low voice.
"Hikigaya's life energy far exceeds your imagination. After all, his life energy is huge enough to support so many demi-humans, and even many ordinary people, mmh!"
"In short, the aura Hikigaya emits has changed, but not by much. You can see it too. The life energy your sister absorbed did not have a big impact on Hachiman. Even if you added the two of you, there probably would not be any problem."
Although Origamine Ouka did not agree to join the dragon clan, succubi, and vampires' faction, she still came along to help.
Or rather, she was not helping the Amaki sisters, but helping Hachiman, worried that Hachiman might be sucked dry by these three succubi.
She was an oni shrine maiden specially sent to Sobu High to maintain order between demi-humans and humans, and now also served as the vice president of the student council at Sobu High. She was on good terms with Kaede and Rurikawa Tsubaki.
Both publicly and privately, there was no way she could turn a blind eye after knowing that Hachiman was in danger of being drained by succubi.
However, it now seemed that her worry was unnecessary.
Even she did not dare let the Amaki sisters touch her without precautions. Under normal circumstances, she would try her best to avoid bodily contact with them, fearing they might trigger the obscene energy within her.
Yet now, Hachiman had been entangled by Amaki Lily for so long, and there was no sign of his aura weakening at all.
'In fact, in fact... it even seems to be getting stronger...'
Origamine Ouka stared unblinkingly at Hachiman, her eyes faintly glowing as mysterious patterns seemed to flow within them.
"Since it's confirmed that our abilities won't harm Hikigaya-kun, then, Sister, can we interact with Hikigaya-kun normally? Can we go over now?"
Amaki Lamy looked at Origamine Ouka, who was keeping a safe distance yet had a deeply flushed face and heavy, rapid breathing, and while asking Amaki Lemi, could not help but complain inwardly.
What shrine maiden. She is just a lewd shrine maiden, secretly peeping with spells right in front of them.
With cognitive obstruction present, shrine maiden Origamine Ouka should not be able to see Lily's figure, but clearly Origamine Ouka was not looking at Lily.
Thinking of the scene earlier when Origamine Ouka hid alone in an empty classroom, it was not hard to see Origamine Ouka's true nature, or rather, her covetousness toward Hachiman.
Although as a succubus she did not really have the standing to criticize Origamine Ouka. Having had no friends from birth until now, she needed Hachiman even more.
"Let's wait until Lily comes back. Since we don't need to worry about touching him, there's no need to rush."
Amaki Lemi stared at Hachiman entering the gymnasium in the distance, pressing her lips together hard and forcibly controlling the desire that was also close to breaking free, and spoke slowly.
Lily and Lamy had only lived two to three hundred years. She herself had lived nearly a thousand years.
In terms of accumulated emptiness and desire, she had far more than Lily and Lamy.
However, even if they did not have to worry about Hachiman's body and could get close to him, they still needed to consider the influence on the surroundings.
They were extremely pure succubi. Normally, their racial talents would affect ordinary people at close range, which was why they always had to keep their distance from normal humans.
If it were not for knowing that many demi-humans gathered here and that there might be a way to solve their inability to control succubus abilities, they would not have come to a place like a school filled with ordinary people.
If they all gathered around Hachiman now and lost control due to the alluring scent on him, it would definitely affect a wide range of ordinary people nearby.
Sato Sakie, who hid her identity and worked as a teacher at Sobu High, was also a succubus, but unlike them who awakened other abilities, Sato Sakie was particularly strong in hypnosis. Once she accidentally fell asleep, she would hypnotize those around her. Even wearing extremely plain sportswear could not hide it.
"By the way, I still need to contact Ursula and ask whether she has found enough reinforcements and when she plans to start the duel with the Elf Princess."
Amaki Lemi suddenly remembered Ursula, who had been skipping classes for several days. Previously, they worried that their abilities might kill Hachiman, Amaki Sisters were also not very proactive, so Ursula ran off to recruit people outside the school.
It was unknown how many demi-humans Ursula had found now. If there were too many demi-humans, then even if they defeated the Elf Princess who was monopolizing Hachiman, they would probably still have a headache.
After all, their succubus desires were too strong. They had to take suppressants that targeted bodily instincts every day just to keep their sanity. Now that there was Hachiman, who was not afraid of being drained to death and could satisfy them, they absolutely did not want to give him up.
However, if the number of demi-humans was not sufficient, they also would not be able to snatch Hachiman away from the Elf Princess's side.
The Elf Princess represented not just one or two demi-humans, but an entire elf race. Including the Elf Princess herself, there were already seven elves who currently needed Hachiman's support, not to mention the future.
Ursula, representing the dragon clan, was instead not so enthusiastic about these matters. Even Ursula herself was mainly busy trying to defeat the Elf Princess, rather than being determined to bring Hachiman back to the Dragon Isle in another world.
"Ursula, how many demi-humans have you found now? We are all ready, and even the oni clan's Origamine is somewhat interested. Now we're just waiting on you."
Thinking that the Elf Princess Iris might also be looking for reinforcements, and might even have found more than Ursula, Amaki Lemi could not help immediately calling Ursula to ask about her progress.
["That urgent? Weren't you always saying we should wait before?"]
Ursula on the other end of the phone was somewhat puzzled by Amaki Lemi's initiative, but still answered.
["Right now I've already found quite a few people. There are quite a lot of demi-humans called youkai in this world, but gathering them together is pretty troublesome. Their willingness to leave home is not very strong either."]
["Snow women who basically only stay in deep mountain villages, earthbound spirits that cannot leave, vampires who keep sleeping in their mansions."]
["I can understand vampires liking to sleep, but the demi-humans of this world are really too useless, right? There's clearly a demi-human alliance, yet one by one they all hide in various corners. So many demi-humans and none of them have awakened their bloodlines?"]
By the end of it, even Ursula was a bit speechless.
If it were not for this group of demi-humans having all kinds of living habits and racial traits, scattered east and west in different places, she would have gone back long ago to fight Iris to the death. How could it have dragged on for so long?
But there was nothing to be done. Most of these demi-humans had not awakened their bloodlines, or even if they had, they did not have an environment that required frequent combat, so their strength was not very strong.
Without finding more people, there was absolutely no chance of beating Iris's group of elves who were like succubi.
"Snow women, earthbound spirits, vampires... where are you right now, Ursula? How much longer will you be searching?"
Hearing Ursula's description, Amaki Lemi felt that these demi-humans did not have very good compatibility with their succubi at all.
However, these demi-humans did not have great needs and were not very enthusiastic about Hachiman. That was actually a good thing for her, Lamy, and Lily.
After letting these demi-humans come to help once, they could be sent back. Competing later together with Ursula and Origamine Ouka would still be better than competing with so many people on Iris's side.
["I'm still... hey, vampire up ahead, please wait a moment!"]
Ursula was about to say something when she seemed to spot a suitable demi-human target over there and immediately shouted loudly.
"..."
Amaki Lemi stared at the phone in her hand that had been hung up and fell silent for quite a while.
'This Ursula... just how exactly was she recruiting people?'
Amaki Lamy, who had heard their conversation, could not help imagining a scene in her mind where demi-humans ran ahead while Ursula chased after them, refusing to be persuaded. It all felt rather strange.
There should not be many races in this world with strong needs in that regard. It was normal for Ursula to have difficulty recruiting people.
After all, this world was not like the other world. Each demi-human race had very small numbers, and none of them had the idea of reproducing an entire race with just a few individuals.
She, Lily, and their elder sister wanted Hachiman because he could be touched without dying, and judging from his powerful support performance, he would definitely be able to satisfy the needs of their three sisters.
"Still not stopping to rest, no wonder, no wonder just life energy turned into an aura was enough to eliminate ghosts..."
Origamine Ouka did not listen to Amaki Lemi's phone call with Ursula. Her penetrating gaze had long since followed Hachiman into the indoor gymnasium, watching him in the changing room carry out daily training for the seed athletes of the girls' competitive swimming club.
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have been able to imagine such a scene.
Amaki Lily aside, the succubus race was like that, having extremely strong desires in that regard, so strong that one mistake could kill someone.
If the Amaki sisters had not always restrained themselves and exercised extreme self control, she would definitely have eliminated the three of them first to prevent them from harming people.
But what about these girls in the competitive swimming club? Why were they also so addicted?
