I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

After carefully turning the letter in her hand over and over, and reading it several times without finding any further details, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but look at Li Mo sitting on the sofa and directly voiced her thoughts, wanting to know from Li Mo about the information on how to promote Class D to Class A.

No matter what, Horikita Suzune really wants to catch up with her older brother, Horikita Manabu. Since her brother is the leader of Class A and the student council president, would it be possible for her brother to approve of her if she could lead Class D to Class A?

"Hey, Suzune, the information about class points is enough to offset your dinner duties. Information about promotions and more is not included here!"

Faced with Horikita Suzune's shifting thoughts, Li Mo was like a hunter who had seen his prey fall into a trap. He scrutinized the beautiful black-haired woman in front of him with great interest, and directly used his excuse to avoid the conversation, preparing to see how Horikita Suzune would respond.

"What conditions do you want? To continue cooking? Or points?"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Horikita Suzune's eyebrows furrowed and then relaxed. She didn't think that if she wanted information, others had to tell her unconditionally. However, she had a bad feeling and tried to think of the conditions she could offer. As she spoke, she wanted to see what Li Mo wanted.

"Hmm, let me think about it carefully. The information about how to get promoted isn't very valuable, but what if I provide all the other information..."

Seeing Horikita Suzune's serious expression, Li Mo found it increasingly amusing. He pretended to ponder for a moment before quietly moving closer to her. Horikita Suzune, meanwhile, was also considering Li Mo's words. Just as she noticed he was less than a meter away, she heard his final words and heard his sudden closeness and kiss: "Then, I'll use a kiss as the price~!"

Before Horikita Suzune could react in time, she was kissed by Li Mo. Her first kiss with a member of the opposite sex left the icy beauty's mind blank. Her beautiful eyes widened, but she was completely unable to react.

To be more precise, Horikita Suzune, who had always looked up to her older brother since childhood, didn't have many friends in elementary and junior high school. Even if some boys her age admired her, they would usually back down when they saw her aloof demeanor. There were very few brave warriors in Japanese junior high schools who were willing to risk their lives to rush towards her. After graduating from junior high school, she chose to enroll in [Advanced Nurturing High School].

—Don't be fooled by the fact that childhood friends or even couples seem common in Japanese junior and high schools. At Advanced Nurturing High School, it's clear that not many people are in the mood for romance. While there are certainly some bold student relationships in Japanese junior high, they are quite rare. For example, Horikita Suzune didn't even have a single friend her own age during junior high. She was an ice queen with a reclusive personality, and she never even kissed or held hands with anyone, let alone interacted with a boy or girl.

When Li Mo released the panting Horikita Suzune and incidentally implanted a supernatural seed that she hadn't noticed into the mind of this beautiful girl with long, straight black hair, she finally realized what was happening. She immediately got up and ran away, pulling him along tightly as she ran out of the room, as if afraid that Li Mo would follow. This reminded one of a frightened deer in the forest that quickly flees danger.

Seeing Horikita Suzune flee in a panic, Li Mo watched her figure with complete indifference. He was quite pleased with the black-haired beauty who was destined to be by his side, and even had the leisure to estimate how long it would take for his modified extraordinary seed to take effect.

"Hehe, Rin, you can't escape now~!"

Chapter 9: Sae's Invitation

Li Mo's affectionate gestures towards Horikita Suzune were not a whim but a very serious thought. After all, who could resist a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair?

In any case, given that Li Mo from the Real Education World has merged with the memories of Li Mo from multiple other worlds, his moral standards have naturally plummeted. If it weren't for his relatively high standards, he would probably already be living a life of luxury with women on both sides.

To be honest, before obtaining the "White Mist Space" cheat, Li Mo planned to focus on physical training and improving his studies. He intended to wait until he got into a good high school, reached the age where he could sign legal contracts, and then consider making some money as a plagiarist. Otherwise, even though his parents had passed away and their inheritance would allow him to live comfortably, he would still have to consider his future development.

Right now, Li Mo is very comfortable preparing to enjoy life. The various preferential treatments promised by [Advanced Education High School] for A-class graduates are insignificant matters in his eyes. Even if every A-class graduate of [Advanced Education High School] receives employment benefits, wouldn't that make them high-level corporate slaves?

Li Mo discovered this by collecting information on graduates of Advanced Education High School. He found that apart from a few descendants of tycoons and politicians who honed their skills at Advanced Education High School, the only advantage that the other Class A graduates had was that they were essentially working for those tycoons and companies, with the only difference being that their salaries were much better.

While the anime's plot doesn't explicitly state this factor, Li Mo can roughly guess what it is. He doesn't believe that Japan is selflessly selecting talent. In reality, the Japanese conglomerates and politicians support [Advanced Education High School] not only for testing the S-system (equivalent to big data) and points, but also to give their descendants experience so they won't suffer losses later. Slogans like "providing society with outstanding talent" are just polite rhetoric used for propaganda.

From the perspective of Japanese conglomerates and politicians, the best outcome is for the descendants of conglomerates, politicians, and bankers to remain privileged, while the descendants of corporate slaves remain obedient corporate slaves, working themselves to the bone. Occasionally, they select a few exceptionally talented young people to join their ranks, simply to ensure their own wealth and prosperity. In Japan, giving too many people the opportunity to rise through the social ladder is something that doesn't need much consideration at all.

Li Mo naturally didn't openly overturn these rules, and the power he was currently wielding wasn't enough to act recklessly like that. So he simply chose to go to [Advanced Education High School] to have some fun. Actions like challenging the dojo and collecting points were just to make money and gain fame. After that, he could do whatever he wanted.

Therefore, Li Mo's current approach to Horikita Suzune is to tease her briefly and then let her go. The reason is that he knows Horikita Suzune has no way to escape, and he has his eye on more than just Horikita Suzune, so of course he has to deal with her first!

………………

On the other side, Horikita Suzune ran out of the room with her pretty face flushed, and then rushed into the elevator and ran to the 12th floor. After she ran to her room and sat down, she calmed down and thought about what had just happened. Her face was even more charming and beautiful, like a sunset, completely like a melting iceberg.

In reality, Horikita Suzune had never had intimate contact with a man before. Li Mo could be said to have stolen her first kiss, which made the girl's heart panic. The best evidence is that when she realized what had happened, she was so shy that she chose to run away without hesitation. As for the fusion of the [Seed of the Extraordinary], she did not instinctively feel disgust towards Li Mo. Instead, she felt more ashamed and angry, and felt that Li Mo's actions were somewhat like bullying her.

After all, they only had a certain level of affection, barely even friends, before Li Mo suddenly stole the girl's first kiss. Strictly speaking, his actions could be described as "frivolous" and "playboy." Under normal circumstances, Horikita Suzune would have slapped him or taught Li Mo a lesson using her Aikido skills, instead of running away in embarrassment like this.

Under the influence of Li Mo's [Seed of the Extraordinary], Horikita Suzune did not feel any disgust. On the contrary, she felt shy, a feeling she had never experienced before—a feeling of her heart racing when she thought of other men!

[Little Bell, why did you just run away? Were you too shy?!]

As Horikita Suzune ran back to her dormitory and sat on her bed, covering her face with her hands, feeling her face gradually cooling down, she suddenly saw her student personal communication terminal light up and a message appear.

"This...this guy actually dares to contact me?!"

Seeing her student contact terminal, which only had herself as a contact, Horikita Suzune, who had just taken the terminal, blushed and quickly typed a reply, both angry and annoyed, when a stranger labeled "Mo" contacted her with a teasing tone.

How did you get my contact information?!

Between the words, Horikita Suzune seemed like a frightened little fox trying to bare its teeth and claws; the only way to describe her expression when replying to the message was "fierce and cute."

[Of course, it's obtained by spending points, directly from the school!]

Upon seeing Horikita Suzune's reply, Li Mo knew that this beautiful, aloof girl with long, straight black hair must have been affected. Otherwise, given her personality, she would have ignored him for at least several days. He wisely refrained from mentioning it and quickly changed the subject:

[Regarding the promotion you mentioned, that requires the entire class to work together to surpass the points of other higher-ranked classes. For example, if Class D's points exceed those of Class C, then Class D can be promoted to Class C, while the original Class C will be demoted to Class D. The same applies to Class B and Class A. If our class successfully surpasses their points, then we can be promoted to the new Class A...]

Well, the news about promotion that Li Mo mentioned immediately caught Horikita Suzune's attention. She temporarily suppressed her earlier embarrassment and then carefully read about the promotion rules for [Advanced Nurturing High School].

This was a little trick Li Mo used. Even with the hidden influence of the [Seed of Extraordinary], if he suddenly tried to have a romantic relationship with Horikita Suzune, he would encounter a certain backlash. Li Mo wasn't in such a hurry. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of her first, then gradually get closer to the black-haired beauty, and finally win Horikita Suzune over. That would be an experience he found very interesting.

Right now, Horikita Suzune's biggest interest was the hidden rules of [Advanced Nurturing High School]. When she confirmed Li Mo's summary of the promotion rules, the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair, whose pretty face was still flushed, breathed a slight sigh of relief. She then carefully read the relevant information Li Mo had sent, but the more she read, the more unpleasant her expression became, especially when Li Mo emphasized the importance of class cooperation; her pretty face turned dark instantly.

Horikita Suzune's biggest weakness is that she has virtually no interpersonal relationships. She has no best friends, no close friends, and no friends. In other words, after several years of junior high and elementary school, she has very few classmates she knows and can even exchange a few words with. Apart from her parents and her older brother who attends Advanced Nurturing High School, she has no neighbors she can talk to, and at most, they are just nodding acquaintances.

It's been almost two days since I joined Class D. Some of the more sociable girls have already made friends in other classes, but Horikita Suzune is still all alone. This shows that she's in a situation where she has no connection with her classmates.

So, how are class points earned? And what about teamwork within the class?

At this moment, Horikita Suzune didn't think too much. Biting her lip, she quickly typed out her question on her personal communication terminal. Especially when she asked about the second half of the question about classmate cooperation, she had a bad feeling. But she had to ask Li Mo, that bad guy, to verify it. If it was false, she could be at ease. But if it really required teamwork in the class, that was definitely Horikita Suzune's weakness.

If Horikita Suzune could truly reach a passing grade in teamwork, she could easily be admitted to Class A at Advanced Nurturing High School. However, her teamwork ability is zero, and no matter how high her individual abilities are, she is relegated to the defective Class D!

Regarding class points, each class receives 1,000 points in the first month. However, after the moral character assessment, subsequent class points are mostly earned through teamwork within the class, or through certain special assessment items or individual abilities, where it is possible for a single person to earn class points...

Li Mo knew a general idea about Horikita Suzune's thoughts, and cruelly shattered the icy beauty's reverie. He told Horikita Suzune the key information and reminded her about the first moral character test.

In this regard, Li Mo had little motivation to step in and organize the class. Today, he saw that some students in Class D were already making small movements and even playing on their phones. He could foresee how useless the scum in Class D were. However, they could be used to tease Horikita Suzune without any problem. Didn't you see that after he sent a message like that, the beautiful girl with long black hair turned pale? And there was no way to solve this problem.

Unaware of Li Mo's thoughts, Horikita Suzune was undergoing a transformation by fusing with the [Seed of the Extraordinary], while simultaneously struggling with how to improve teamwork within the class. Unfortunately, for her, a loner, this was an unsolvable super problem!

……

Aside from Li Mo teasing Horikita Suzune from time to time, which brought him and the long-haired black-haired beauty closer, Li Mo seemed relatively calm in the following days and did not cause any more trouble, but he could not fathom what others were thinking.

On the first day of the second week, in Class D's Japanese history class, Li Mo, who was occasionally observing Horikita Suzune's actions, noticed that the homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, was looking at him with a serious expression, glancing at him several times. After thinking about it carefully, Li Mo guessed that this beautiful teacher was keeping an eye on him, probably because she knew about his challenge to the dojo and was making some kind of decision.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune also looked at Li Mo with a questioning gaze, and then secretly glanced at Chabashira Sae. She keenly noticed that during this class, the homeroom teacher had stared at Li Mo, who was sitting next to her, with a somewhat strange look on several occasions.

This piqued Horikita Suzune's curiosity, but she wasn't one to meddle, and besides, she needed to pay attention in class, so she didn't dawdle and ask Li Mo, that rascal.

In contrast, other members of Class D also noticed this. Several formidable figures, such as Rokusuke Koenji, who had his feet on the desk, and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, who was quietly hiding his presence, all noticed Sae Chabashira's subtle movements. Even Yosuke Hirata and Kikyo Kushida vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

To be fair, neither Rokusuke Koenji nor Kiyotaka Ayanokouji are ordinary people. The former is indeed narcissistic but is truly exceptionally capable, being second to none in both intellect and physical ability. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, with a little training, could reach the level of a special forces elite or a top spy. The two of them noticed the homeroom teacher's gaze and naturally noticed Li Mo sitting peacefully at the back of the classroom.

As for Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo...

Hirata Yosuke was a little worried about Li Mo, fearing that he would be in trouble with the teacher. After all, he had realized that Li Mo was definitely a person with very strong fighting ability. He wasn't too concerned about Li Mo, but he didn't want every student in his class to drop out of school. When he discovered the homeroom teacher's strange behavior, a sense of worry rose in his heart.

As for Kikyo Kushida, when she noticed that her homeroom teacher seemed to be paying attention to Li Mo, she couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude. She even maliciously hoped that Li Mo would get expelled by the homeroom teacher if he did something wrong. After all, she had discovered in the past few days that Li Mo, this guy with extremely high fighting skills, didn't seem to like her much, but had a good relationship with Suzune Horikita. She was wary of Suzune Horikita, who graduated from the same junior high school, knowing about her dark past.

Li Mo didn't care. He went to [Advanced Education High School] to participate in the plot and pick up girls. He didn't care about the attention of others. Unless someone really thought he was a pushover and wanted to come up and teach him a lesson, he was too lazy to teach them a lesson. He would just take a few glances and treat them as a gentle breeze. He would rather admire the two beautiful female classmates on his left and right.

Shortly after, the bell rang, and the students in Class D thought that their homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, would leave the classroom without paying them any attention, just like before. However, to their surprise, Chabashira Sae looked around the classroom and then spoke:

"Li Mo, come out with me for a moment!"

Chapter 10 The Rooftop Meeting

"Li Mo, come out with me for a moment!"

In an instant, Li Mo once again became the most eye-catching figure in Class D. All the students in Class D, including Horikita Suzune, couldn't help but look at Li Mo, who was sitting leisurely. The various ambiguous gazes were enough to make ordinary people feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

In Class D, Li Mo is a prominent figure in a certain sense. Apart from Horikita Suzune, who has learned through her interactions with Li Mo that he had been challenging the dojo on the first afternoon of the semester and is a highly respected figure among the upperclassmen and teachers, the other students in Class D regard Li Mo as a powerful fighter. Didn't they see how the tall Sudo Ken was suppressed in one fell swoop?

In this regard, everyone was quite perceptive. For example, the tall and strong Sudo Ken looked like he was a formidable fighter, yet Li Mo had managed to immobilize him in his seat with just one hand. For the past few days, Sudo Ken had been avoiding Li Mo whenever possible. The students of Class D wisely concluded that they were no match for Li Mo.

It can be said that many people in Class D are afraid of the powerful force that Li Mo possesses. However, Li Mo has been living his life leisurely these past few days, and the students in Class D are not foolish enough to provoke him, tacitly acknowledging that Li Mo is a predator in the food chain.

After saying this, Chabashira Sae walked straight to the classroom door. Under the watchful eyes of the other students in Class D, Li Mo put the book into his desk drawer and followed her out through the back door. Chabashira Sae didn't say anything more, just waved to Li Mo to let him follow and then started walking.

At this moment, Li Mo looked at the still indifferent homeroom teacher and had already guessed Chazuki Sae's purpose. However, he still wanted to verify it, so he didn't care about the other party's attitude and simply followed behind.

A few minutes later, when Li Mo looked out the door at the rooftop, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. After all, this was the location of many famous scenes in Japanese slice-of-life anime. For example, Makoto Shinkai, who was killed by a machete, fought on the school rooftop. It could be said that dying under the peony flower was a romantic death...

"Teacher, are you doing this on purpose?"

Although his mind was wandering, Li Mo glanced at the stairs behind him and quickly regained his composure. He took the initiative and spoke to Chaba Sachi, who was lighting a cigarette and looking at him.

"Oh? I did it on purpose? Then tell me, what did I do on purpose?!"

Chabashira Sae was slightly surprised by Li Mo's first words, which further confirmed his intelligence. She didn't light her cigarette but asked the question knowingly.

"Tea Pillar Sae-sensei, if you're looking for a romantic chat, I'd be quite interested in spending time with you here. But if you're looking for some silly games like guessing games, then I'm sorry, I don't have any free time!"

Li Mo looked at the mature and beautiful woman in front of him and spoke casually.

As mentioned before, Li Mo's purpose in attending [Advanced Education High School] was simply to participate in the storyline and, incidentally, to recruit a few beauties. Horikita Suzune was already practically his, and the aloof and elegant older sister beauty in front of him was also the type that Li Mo favored.

On the other side, Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, who were hiding and eavesdropping at the entrance of the rooftop, couldn't help but widen their eyes. After all, it was really unexpected that Li Mo would dare to flirt with Chabashira Sae.

Compared to Hirata Yosuke's admiring expression, Horikita Suzune on the other side of the door bit her lip, feeling rather unhappy!

"you!!!"

Hearing Li Mo's teasing words, Chabashira Sae was encountering someone who dared to flirt with a teacher for the first time, and she almost lost her composure.

However, Chabashira Sae wasn't stupid. Coupled with her past experiences at Advanced Nurturing High School, she quickly realized that the other person might be doing this on purpose to make her angry and stop talking.

Having only slightly lost her composure, Chabashira Sae put the cigarette back in her hand, took a deep breath to regain her composure, and looked at Li Mo leisurely, saying:

"Hehehe, no wonder you're called a 'freshman monster' by the older students. I never expected that Class D would produce someone like you. What you've done is something only you have ever done since the school was founded!"

Seeing that Chabashira Sae had restrained her emotions and hadn't become angry or embarrassed by him, he was still slightly disappointed. After all, he wanted to see how cute this cold, aloof, and beautiful older sister would act when she was angry or embarrassed.

It has to be said that Li Mo, having obtained the cheat ability of the [White Mist Space] and already possessing sufficient power, seems to be increasingly inclined towards amusement.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out. It has to be said that Chabashira Sae is quite strong. She is worthy of being someone who almost had the ability to overthrow Class A back then. She graduated from Class A of Advanced Nurturing High School and has been lying low at Advanced Nurturing High School for so long. It is no exaggeration to say that her character and ability are outstanding.

Hearing Chabashira Sae's words, Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, who were secretly eavesdropping, had different thoughts. Hirata Yosuke wanted to know what Li Mo had done to make the senior students call him that, while Horikita Suzune at least knew roughly what Li Mo had done. A proud smile appeared on her pretty face, followed by a little anger as she pouted at Li Mo, who was looking at the teacher.

As for the others, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, Rokusuke Koenji, and Kikyo Kushida did not come along to eavesdrop, or rather, Yosuke Hirata and Suzune Horikita were already there. The other members of Class D felt that the probability of being discovered if they followed along was too high!

"Oh! So they call me a newborn monster. What an awful title!"

Li Mo did not deny what Chabazusa said, since it was all already known.

Li Mo was certain that his deeds had already spread among the upperclassmen and teachers. After all, more than a hundred upperclassmen and several clubs had witnessed them. Could it be completely kept secret at [Advanced Education High School]?

"Tsk, you're just admitting it now, does that mean you're no longer hiding it?"

Seeing that Li Mo had readily admitted it, Chabashira Sae's expression improved slightly. She crossed her arms and said...
