"Kansaki-senpai is quite famous in the academy."
Katsura Kotonoha took off her mask, revealing a shy smile.
"Famous? I think it's not just the school that's famous now, it's famous all over the world."
Kanzaki Teru said with a wry smile.
Katsura Kotonoha just smiled slightly. She naturally knew what her senior meant by those words, but deep down she didn't think he was the kind of irresponsible scumbag who would start something and then abandon it.
There must be a special reason, there must be...
"arrive!"
As Kanzaki Teru and Katsura Kotonoha were talking, they arrived at the entrance of the private Toyonosaki School.
Students, radiating youthful energy, entered the school in groups, spreading their youth and vitality to one another.
Katsura Kotonoha, who had just taken off her mask, attracted a great deal of attention. Naturally, Kanzaki Teru, who was next to her, could not avoid it either. Instantly, she was recognized by many people, and their expressions were full of righteous indignation, envy, jealousy and hatred.
Looking at this bastard who keeps stealing his goddess, now that he has Mio, ranked third on the "Beauty Ranking," it's not enough for him, he actually wants to ruin the only remaining goddess on the "Beauty Ranking" at their private Toyonosaki School!
They say a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow, but this bastard insists on clinging to the grass right next to his burrow.
However, despite their indignation, no one dared to cause trouble for Kanzaki Teru, and could only watch helplessly as he led Katsura Kotonoha into the school.
After all, the name 'Kanzaki Teru' is considered a taboo subject at Toyonosaki Private School. Those arrogant upperclassmen with broken arms and legs are still lying in the hospital, having missed their entrance exams and ruined their futures.
Kanzaki Teru could ignore these stares, but Katsura Kotonoha didn't have that kind of shamelessness; her little head was almost buried in her overdeveloped breasts.
"Let's part ways here. Goodbye, junior."
At Toyonosaki Private School, the third-year students and the second-year students are not in the same building. The second-year students are on the outside, which is where they are now, while the third-year students are inside, closer to the stadium.
"...Goodbye, Kanzaki-senpai!"
For some reason, Katsura Kotonoha felt a slight pang of reluctance and stared blankly at Kanzaki Teru's tall, slender figure as he walked away.
"E5685 train."
This is the subway line she took today. Previously, her family driver always picked her up and dropped her off at school, but this time, because the driver took leave, she had to take the subway herself. Although some unpleasant things happened along the way, she ran into Kanzaki-senpai…

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mere Yin-Yang Dao
"Isn't this our scumbag boyfriend?"
As soon as Kanzaki Teru stepped into the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3, he heard Kasumigaoka Utaha's sarcastic voice ringing in his ears.
"Our great Casanova has actually set his sights on a younger elementary school girl. Doesn't he care at all about hurting his current girlfriend?"
The first thing that catches the eye is Kasumigaoka Utaha's long, shapely legs encased in black stockings. Her delicate and exquisite features are filled with displeasure, and a mocking smile plays on her lips. It seems that Kasumigaoka Utaha witnessed the scene when Kanzaki Teru and Katsura Kotonoha entered the school together.
The others in the classroom looked at Kanzaki Hikaru with mocking expressions. Although they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, there was nothing they could do. After all, they didn't have the ability to win over the goddess on the "Fairy Beauty Ranking," let alone turn her into an ex.
Seeing Kanzaki Teru, this "scumbag who started a relationship and then abandoned it," being ridiculed and harassed by his ex-girlfriend, a strange sense of balance welled up inside him. See, a scumbag is a scumbag, and sooner or later the goddesses will see through him.
They now desperately want Kasumigaoka Utaha to hurl even more insults at Kanzaki Teru, until he's left in tears, utterly devastated. That would be the only way to vent their anger.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking and is obviously unrealistic.
Kanzaki Teru ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha and went straight to his seat in the back row. He glanced at the long-haired black beauty next to him, who was sleeping with her head buried in the table. He casually placed a glass of milk on her table, tapped it, and said, "Don't forget to drink it!"
"……Um!"
A lazy, still-asleep snore rang out.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?!"
This scene instantly amplified Kasumigaoka Utaha's displeasure at being ignored. How dare he flirt with another girl right in front of her? Although she knew about their relationship, she was still annoyed. Who knew if this 'night owl' shared the same thoughts as that blond loser?
"I heard you, no need to remind me."
Kanzaki Teru sat down, looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a displeased expression, and said listlessly, "In short, you're just jealous. I shouldn't be flirting with others, I should be flirting with you, right?"
Suddenly——
The others in the classroom were stunned by Kanzaki Teru's astonishing statement. Holy crap! He has such a strong explanation? How dare he say it?
Is this the difference?!
"...No way!?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha, embarrassed and annoyed, retorted loudly.
"Isn't it?"
Kanzaki Teru rested his chin on his hand and teased, "That's strange. I didn't try to coax you, so why are you reacting so strongly? You're probably the nth ex-girlfriend ever!"
Kanzaki Teru deliberately emphasized the words "ex-girlfriend," as if afraid that Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't hear him.
"Kacha!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha snapped the pen in her hand in two, her eyebrows bulging with veins, and the nerve called reason was slowly breaking from hunger.
This statement is like adding fuel to the fire; it's quite damaging and even more insulting.
Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha was on the verge of losing control, Kanzaki Teru decided to stop teasing her and simply closed his eyes to rest, ignoring her and waiting for class to begin.
"Don't get angry, don't get angry... I can't get angry, or I'll fall into this guy's trap."
Kasumigaoka Utaha took deep breaths to calm the turbulent emotions surging within her. At the same time, she glared fiercely at Kanzaki Teru with her beautiful eyes, wishing she could tear him to pieces to vent her anger.
This guy is like her nemesis, just like that golden retriever who gets angry with her with just a few words. She can easily stir up her emotions with just a few words.
Until the lecturer arrived in the classroom—
Kasumigaoka Utaha finally swallowed the pent-up anger in her mouth.
Class time is always boring and tedious, and many students' minds are already wandering around when class just starts.
"A crumpled piece of paper!"
A crumpled piece of paper suddenly flew onto Kanzaki Teru's table. It was thrown by Touma Kazusa, who had woken up at some point and was still secretly drinking the milk that Kanzaki Teru had given her.
Kanzaki Teru unfolded the crumpled paper, on which were written in delicate handwriting:
"Do you know what Onmyoji are? I mean real Onmyoji, not fictional ones from stories and novels."
Kanzaki Teru nodded to Touma Kazusa.
I'm a little confused. Why is my childhood friend, who has always aspired to become a world-class pianist like her mother, suddenly asking about 'Onmyoji'? Even though she's currently going through a rebellious phase...
He didn't have any deep interactions with Onmyoji, but he did have some casual dealings with them.
Upon seeing this, Touma Kazusa wrote something on a piece of white paper, then crumpled it up and tossed it to Kanzaki Teru.
As he unfolded the crumpled paper, Kanzaki Teru thought with a hint of helplessness.
We were so close, I could have just handed him the blank paper. Why did I have to crumple it up and throw it at him? Or is this some kind of 'classroom tradition'?
"Yin Yang Hall, Yin Yang Academy, Yin Yang Association, which one do you think is better?"
"It seems these forces have already made their move."
Seeing this, Kanzaki Teru finally understood.
The emergence of the [Dimensional Ranking] and the newly listed [Fairy Beauty Ranking] have clearly made them targets for all forces to recruit. After all, with the distribution of ranking rewards, they also have the talent to be recruited.
Take Touma Kazusa for example. If he remembers correctly, she was ranked seventy-second on the [Beauty Ranking] and received [Intermediate Physique Modification]. This not only gave her a physique comparable to a ghoul, but also guaranteed her to unlock [Demon-Seeing Power].
Such talent is more than enough to enter the Yin-Yang path. More importantly, the [Immortal Beauty Ranking] is updated every month. Those who are on the list this time are very likely to be on the list next time. If they move up a few places, the ranking rewards they receive will be even higher.
This situation would naturally tempt those forces.
However, forces like the Yin-Yang Path, which belong to the divine and demonic races, are self-aware enough to know that the top fifty on the [Immortal Beauty Ranking] either possess considerable strength or have extraordinary identities, making it something they dare not even dream of.
Therefore, they all set their sights on the bottom fifty of the [Immortal Beauty Ranking]. Of course, there are also those in the bottom fifty who come from wealthy families, such as Kaguya Shinomiya and Snow White. Even if they don't join these forces, they can still obtain cultivation paths through the power of their wealthy families.
Presumably, forces have also come to win over Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Closer to home——
Kanzaki Teru wrote down everything he knew directly, and also added suggestions.
"The Onmyo-e ...
"The Yin-Yang Hall is responsible for eliminating spiritual disasters and exorcising demons. It belongs to the traditional Yin-Yang Dao and has twelve divine generals, making it the most powerful."
"The Yin-Yang Company is responsible for removing impurities and exorcising demons. They are skilled in the art of incantation and have twelve generals. Their power is second only to the Yin-Yang Bureau. It is worth mentioning that the commander-in-chief of the Yin-Yang Company is Tsuchimikado Arima. Tsuchimikado has a very deep control over him."
"The Yin-Yang Academy, established by Tsuchimikado Yoko, is the place responsible for teaching trainee Yin-Yang Masters, and it is the weakest in terms of power."
"If you want to join, it's best to choose the Yin-Yang Alliance, followed by the Yin-Yang Academy. However, the Yin-Yang Hall is a place of trouble, so don't go there."
"..."
Then, he handed the blank paper to Touma Kazusa.
While secretly drinking pure milk, Touma Kazusa carefully looked at the contents of the white paper, constantly making her own judgments.
The teacher on the podium.
He saw through Kanzaki Teru and Touma Kazusa's little antics, but could only helplessly let them be. These two were problem students in his class, and he couldn't control them.
……
"Ding ding ding..."
The bell rang.
The teacher tidied up the things on the podium and then announced the end of get out of class.
Immediately, all the students became like wild horses, their noise rising and falling in waves.
However, Touma Kazusa ignored all of this, got up and threw the empty milk carton in her hand into the trash can, turned to Kanzaki Teru and said, "We won't need milk for the next few days, so I'm planning to take a few days off."
"It's already decided."
"Ok!"
Touma Kazusa nodded and said, "This is the only way I know so far to get closer to you quickly."
"I don't like that kind of subtle distance."
