Time is king, space is supreme.
This saying is very popular in the Countless Worlds; it's no joke.
Shiro also decided to follow the system's advice and carefully study these two laws. After all, he wasn't lacking destructive power, but he was lacking diverse methods.
"Too bad, I'm quite interested in the aspect of the soul."
"Ding! Then let someone be your test subject."
"Forget it. Even though I could use it in the arena, I don't think those people would be test subjects for me. You know, each of them can be considered a top figure in their world. Who would be foolish enough to let me manipulate them?"
"Not to mention, this involves a lot of things, and you could even see many of them. Who would allow me to do that? I'd rather be subjected to it myself."
Shiro knew very well what the situation was. Who would voluntarily allow themselves to be manipulated when it comes to things like the soul?
"Then even this system can't do anything."
Shiro opened his eyes at that moment.
He saw the people around him doing their things, but they were fairly relaxed, and after realizing they might have interrupted him, they greeted him with a smile.
"Yo, school's already over."
"Don't you know you were slacking here?"
"Or were you really just slacking and sleeping, so you didn't even know when class ended?"
Kawasaki Saki spoke without any hesitation.
"Slacking? I had work to do, okay?"
After Shiro said that, he directly jumped onto the girl next to him, shamelessly burying his head in her lap.
Kawasaki Saki did not expect this guy to launch a sudden attack, completely ignoring martial morals, stealing and deceiving. For a moment, she didn't pay attention and allowed him to lie in her lap. When she felt his head touching her exposed thigh, her face turned red.
"What are you doing?"
"Let me rest a bit, I'm tired, thinking too much."
Shiro ignored her protests in front of everyone, even moved a few times, and then lay with his eyes closed.
Kawasaki Saki felt all those gazes and her face immediately burned. Then, in a helpless tone, she said:
"Why is everyone staring at me? The problem is this guy."
The main point for Kawasaki Saki was not to take the blame. After all, the problem was Shiro, so why should she bear responsibility?
"What exactly were you doing all afternoon?"
Itsuki looked at Shiro in that state and spoke in a helpless tone. Didn't this guy just sleep here? So how did he look genuinely tired?
"No, I said I was slacking and sleeping, and you actually believed it?"
"I just had something I needed to think about."
"Don't tell me you really didn't know, haha, I was just joking."
The girls, after hearing this, spoke in unison.
"That wasn't a joke at all." x4
Shiro felt helpless about this. Why was everyone saying that? What happened to trust among people?
Forget it, he resolutely kept silent. A good man doesn't argue with women.
"Ah, it seems the world misunderstands me too much."
"Come on. Teacher Shizuka will probably come soon to cause trouble with you. Since you skipped her class without telling her, during class she stared at your seat, looking furious, like she wanted to hit someone."
Shiro then twisted his lips, feeling helpless.
"Shizuka-kawaii, really. She doesn't mind her own business, always interfering in everything. Maybe it's because she's been alone until now, so she's bored and has time to meddle in everything?"
The girls heard that and for a moment didn't know how to react. But in the next moment, with a "bang," the door opened.
"You little brat, you're really asking for a beating, aren't you?"
"I'm alone, so what, am I eating your rice? And this is the responsibility of the class advisor. You're obviously slandering me."
"And I seriously doubt that you knew I was outside, so you deliberately said that!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke through gritted teeth. She felt this guy knew she was coming and deliberately alluded to her. Otherwise, why?
"Ah, Shizuka-kawaii, just joking."
"Get lost! How many times have I told you not to call me that? Can't you be a little more serious, brat?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt helpless. This little rascal was like this every day, and she really couldn't do anything about him.
Her iron fist couldn't hit him. It's not that she didn't try swinging her iron fist at him; every time he dodged.
The key thing was that this little rascal knocked her down twice. She didn't know if he did it on purpose or by accident, but she ended up falling. Even if it was accidental, it had to be counted as intentional.
The first time, her pet, which she had cared for so long, was bitten. After this guy had an accident, he deliberately bit it. Then she almost died along with it. The second time, her first kiss was also taken by this rascal.
If she didn't know that this guy really wasn't doing it on purpose, or rather, due to his damned bad luck, it definitely wouldn't have ended there.
Until now, she simply hadn't dared to move too much around him, so that no accident would happen. Just by looking at the girls around him, she already knew. As far as she knew, each of them had been knocked down. And it was always various kinds of accidents; either the girls tripped and fell onto him, or he slipped because someone pushed him.
In short, after becoming his class advisor, she realized that there really existed such a peculiar guy in the world!
Shiro ignored her and instead said in a curious tone:
"By the way, why are you here?"
"At this time, shouldn't you be in the office, slacking, doing something, or preparing to go drinking after work?"
When Hiratsuka Shizuka heard that, she really wanted to retort: "Why do I look so idle in your eyes?" But then she thought, "Forget it, it's useless to talk nonsense with this guy…"
"Did you forget that this place was approved through my application? As an advisor, Teacher Shizuka of course must come to see what's happening here."
"Now I finally understand why you skipped class directly. So you really consider this place your personal entertainment room?"
"Are you sure this is a club? Look at Yukinoshita across the hall, then look at yourself."
Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed the situation here and thought it was really excessive. Honestly, this place had everything one could imagine, you could play however you wanted. It was practically a place designed for decadence, yet it was a club called the Supernatural Research Club!
Shiro didn't care about her complaints and spoke in a completely natural tone:
"Of course this is a club. It's just a little bigger. Since the space is so large, we can't waste it. We have to organize it, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy to apply for such a large space, don't you think I'm right?"
Shiro's completely natural tone made Hiratsuka Shizuka smile from anger, while the vein on her temple pulsed.
"No, you insolent guy, don't you know what clubs are for? The problem is that if you make it like this, it won't look good when word spreads."
Shiro felt that what she said made sense, but after a brief thought, he slowly said:
"Wouldn't it be fine if the word didn't spread? The student council is responsible for this, and the people in the student council understand everything, so who would cause problems?"
"Not to mention. How many people do you think would come to this secluded place? If it weren't because this place is remote, it even looks abandoned, and it's only used for special events, not regularly."
"Under those circumstances, how many people would come here? That's exactly why I could apply for such a large space."
Hiratsuka Shizuka wanted to retort: "Nonsense." However, after considering that the person across from her could actually occupy the entire activity room for one club, it seemed that what he said was really true.
