Conquer the world, young man!

Yamamoto Takeshi and Sawada Tsunayoshi said almost simultaneously, "Tatara, eat ours!"

Shishu looked at her two friends and smiled brightly. But now, she should go back to class. After all, being in class doesn't count as a group gathering!

Chapter 11011 Let's meet the parents!

Before afternoon classes, Kusakabe Tetsuya meticulously cleaned the lunchbox that Hibari had asked him to return to Totsuka Tatara. While wondering about the chairman's actions, he also felt that if it was because of Totsuka, it wasn't hard to understand. With these strange feelings, he arrived at Class 1-A and personally handed the lunchbox to Totsuka.

After receiving the lunchbox, Totsuka thanked Kusakabe. Sawada Tsunayoshi, sitting behind him, widened his eyes again and exclaimed, "Tatara, I didn't expect Hibari-senpai to actually return the lunchbox!"

Totsuka chuckled, finding their view of Hibari as a monster quite amusing. "Actually, I think Hibari-kun is a good person. He's very responsible for managing the school. He might just have a bit of a temper, but what teenager doesn't have a rebellious phase?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned, his lips twitching slightly as he awkwardly replied, "I'm afraid only you, Tatara, would think that way..."

The afternoon classes passed quickly as Totsuka appeared attentive but was actually daydreaming. After realizing that she had no problems with the classes, Totsuka naturally didn't pay much attention to studying.

In the afternoon, there was actually a physical education class, and it was then that Totsuka understood why Tsuna was called "Useless Tsuna" by the class... It's because Tsuna is bad at almost any sport, and no one wants to be in a group with him when playing games. He can only jump three levels high from the vaulting box and can't do any flips on the horizontal bar. I heard that even his average score across all subjects in the entrance exam was only 17.5 points... Totsuka decided to take better care of Tsuna because he can't do anything right, no wonder he lacks confidence.

Totsuka also enjoyed spending time with Yamamoto Takeshi. He could see Takeshi with a cheerful smile almost all day long, which made anyone who saw him feel relaxed. Although Sawada Tsunayoshi and Yamamoto Takeshi were completely different types of people, Totsuka still felt that they had similar attractive qualities and were both very kind children.

After school, the baseball club had an activity. Yamamoto Takeshi greeted him and Sawada Tsunayoshi before heading off to his club activity. Tsuna, who never did well in club activities, wasn't accepted by any club and planned to go straight home after school. The fashion club, which Totsuka belonged to, didn't have any activities for the time being, so Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately invited Totsuka to his house to finish his homework.

Totsuka checked the time; it was still quite early. He decided to visit the Sawada family, and he also felt that he needed to tutor Sawada Tsunayoshi, given his poor grades.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's mother, Sawada Nana, is a very gentle woman with a bright and beautiful smile. When she met Totsuka Tatara, she greeted him extremely warmly and even made him some sweets. Totsuka secretly envied Sawada Tsunayoshi for having such a mother. It could be said that he had never experienced such family affection before, which felt incredibly heartwarming.

"Tsuna doesn't usually bring friends home, so he's really happy to see Totsuka today. I'm relieved that Tsuna has such a friend." Sawada Nana poured juice and brought it into Sawada Tsunayoshi's room, smiling very gently at Totsuka. "Will Totsuka stay for dinner tonight?"

"No need, Sawada-mama." Totsuka quickly accepted the juice, expressing his sincere gratitude to the hospitable mother. "There are still people waiting for me at home. I'll go back after Tsuna and I finish our homework."

"Totsuka is such a good kid," Sawada Nana chuckled. "But you must come to our house often, I think Tsuna likes you a lot too!"

"Mom!" Sawada Tsunayoshi, his face flushed, pushed his usually scatterbrained mother out the door, his voice tinged with nervousness, "Mom, you can go out now, Tatara and I are doing our homework!"

Sawada Nana's cheerful laughter could still be heard from outside the door, "Tsuna is still so easily embarrassed!"

Watching Sawada Tsunayoshi and Sawada Nana interact, Totsuka couldn't help but sigh, "Tsuna and his mother have such a good relationship."

Sawada Tsunayoshi turned around and noticed Totsuka's somewhat dejected expression. For some reason, he sensed that Totsuka wasn't satisfied with her family. He was conflicted and didn't know how to ask.

Totsuka naturally noticed Sawada Tsunayoshi's dilemma but didn't point it out. He took out his homework, placed it on the table, took a bite of the snack Sawada's mother had made, and praised, "Tsuna, your mother's cooking is really good, it's delicious!"

Seeing that Totsuka's expression had returned to normal, Sawada Tsunayoshi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, saying, "Whenever Tatara has nothing to do in the evenings, please stay for dinner."

Seeing Sawada Tsunayoshi's serious expression, Totsuka's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled awkwardly and placed his workbook in front of him. "Mom really likes Tatara, and I think it's great to be friends with him. After all, I'm not good at anything, so it's normal for me to be called a loser."

“I think…” Totsuka thought for a moment. He couldn’t help but care about this clear-headed child. This feeling had nothing to do with the task given by the system. “As long as you try your best and do it seriously, even if you fail, it’s still something to be happy about. Tsuna, just do what you want to do. No one is good at everything from the start. Maybe Tsuna has talents that others don’t have, but they just haven’t been discovered yet. Besides, I think even Tsuna, who is called a loser, has his own shining points, because Tsuna’s smile… is as clear as the sky. I like it very much.”

Sawada Tsunayoshi was completely stunned. He stared blankly at Totsuka, and when he came to his senses, his face was flushed, and he stammered, not knowing what to say. This was the first time he had been praised like this, and by the person in front of him... and he even said... he liked... Just thinking about it made Sawada Tsunayoshi's head spin, and his heart started pounding.

"Well, Tsuna, don't worry too much." Totsuka winked mischievously, his smile undiminished. "Tsuna, you should have more confidence in yourself."

"T-Tata-ra..." Sawada Tsunayoshi became nervous again when he saw Totsuka's smile, and quickly lowered his head to flip through his books. "I... let's do our homework."

"What a shy child," Totsuka remarked, before quickly finishing his assigned homework. He completed the assignment in no time, sipping the juice Nana's mother poured for him, munching on snacks, and watching Sawada Tsunayoshi deep in thought, a warm smile, unnoticed even by himself, graced his face.

Then Totsuka listed all the questions Sawada Tsunayoshi had gotten wrong. It was fair to say that Tsuna hadn't gotten many right at all. Totsuka explained almost every single one of them. Seeing Tsuna's half-understanding expression, he knew that learning wasn't something that could be rushed for him. After finishing the exercises, Totsuka took his leave.

Sawada Tsunayoshi saw him to the door, feeling reluctant to part with him. He handed him the baked cookies his mother had specially made for Totsuka, thanked him, and expressed his hope that he would visit their home again.

Totsuka nodded and left the Sawada house with the warm baked cookies, thinking happily to herself: Sawada's mother's cooking skills are really good. I'll take these baked cookies back for Master Yagari to try. I wonder if he got a good rest today.

Totsuka walked into a deserted alley, opened the system map, and found that he could teleport anywhere from Namimori to his home. With a light tap on the map, he disappeared into the alley.

Having given the house key to Yoruji, Totsuka went up and knocked on the door, calling out, "Master, are you home?"

"Tatara, you're back." Yoruji Touya opened the door, his hair and clothes quite disheveled. He glanced at Touya and asked casually, "What time did you get out of school?"

As Totsuka entered, she placed the cookies in Yoruji's arms. "Try them. These are baked cookies from Sawada's mother. They must taste great!"

"Sawada's mom?" Yoru Touya sat lazily on the sofa, opened the bag, and started eating.

Totsuka noticed that there were many cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table, and there was a faint smell of smoke in the house. He frowned slightly and then said, "I went to my friend's house to do my homework. Sawada's mother is Tsuna's mother. She is a very nice and gentle person. I'm sorry I came back a little late."

Yoru-Kari Touya nodded, shaking the biscuit in his hand. "It tastes good!"

Shishu smiled, opened the refrigerator and selected the dishes to be made tonight, as well as the dishes to be prepared for tomorrow. "Then I'll go cook. Dinner will be served in a bit."

Yoru watched as Totsuka Tatara went into the kitchen and emptied the ashtray on the table. It was the first time she had waited for someone like this, and the feeling... was rather complicated. But watching the busy figure in the kitchen, Yoru couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth.

Shishu exchanged two more lunchboxes for the system, planning to pack more food for tomorrow. He had 1960 points left, so he asked the system if there were any abilities he could exchange for, and if there were any recommendations.

[Host's current points are too low; only an unactivated magic imprint can be exchanged, which requires 1500 points.]

"What is the use of magic markings?" Totsuka was still very curious about magic. Was it some kind of magical wonder like in Happy Potter?

[A magic imprint is a magician's way of solidifying their magic knowledge and research findings and passing them on to their descendants. Descendants can activate the imprint to directly achieve the effects of a specific magic trick recorded within it, and can also expand the magic imprint to pass it on to the next generation.]

"It sounds pretty amazing. How do I activate the imprint after I exchange it?" Totsuka Tatara immediately asked.

[1. Activating the imprint requires 3000 points. 2. The host's overall attributes must reach level C.]

"Looks like I still have a lot to do." Totsuka Tatara thought for a moment and decided to exchange for the magic mark first. As for activating it, he should be able to do more tasks, accumulate more points, and train more. "System, exchange for the magic mark for me."

[Deducting 1500 points from the host, the host has 460 points remaining. Magic imprint implantation... 10%... 20%]

[Magic Imprint Successfully Implanted (Not Activated)]

[Due to the implantation of a magic imprint, the host's strength and endurance have both increased by one level, resulting in an overall attribute rating of: D (Strength: D, Endurance: E, Agility: E, Spirit: A, Luck: EX)]

Totsuka expressed his satisfaction and said that training would begin tonight to improve his abilities so as not to embarrass himself, since Master Yagari had previously witnessed his ability to escape from Level E vampires.

After preparing the meal and having eaten and rested with Yoruichi, Totsuka officially began his training under Yoruichi's tutelage. He put in a lot of effort, especially in improving his strength and agility. Totsuka also felt that Yoruichi was indeed both ruthless and serious when teaching his students, making him dare not be distracted at all... In short, for a former otaku like him, it was a very difficult special training...

Chapter 12012 The Prince of Namimori

A night of training left Totsuka exhausted and sleepy, but it was clear he had discovered his shortcomings. Even with the system's help in boosting his personal attributes, without proper training, he was still just as weak as an ordinary person. Master Yoruichi started with basic training for him, and Totsuka felt his reaction time had improved considerably. Considering he had to learn vampire hunter skills within ten days, he felt a great sense of responsibility and naturally gave it his all.

Yoruji was also very satisfied with Totsuka's serious attitude, and since Totsuka was also quite talented, he was even less lenient when teaching him.

Totsuka was truly grateful that he had the stamina-restoring pills as a system reward. After taking one, all his previous fatigue and exhaustion disappeared. It was practically a wonderful thing specially prepared for his training!

On my way to school this morning, I ran into Taro Yamada again, who was just leaving home. I have to say, although Taro Yamada's family background is similar to mine, he has the air of a rich young master, and he must be very popular at school.

Taro Yamada noticed that the Totsuka family seemed to have someone at home these days, so he didn't go over to bother them. The two greeted each other warmly and then went to school.

Although Totsuka wasn't physically tired, his biological clock seemed to be reminding him to go to sleep after a night without rest. Rubbing his eyes, Totsuka yawned slightly and greeted a few classmates he encountered on the way. At the entrance of Namimori Middle School, Hibari Kyoya was also observing the students of Namimori. When he saw Totsuka Tatara, who seemed quite tired, he couldn't help but frown.

Totsuka naturally noticed Hibari Kyoya, who stood out from the crowd. There was no way around it... in such an ordinary middle school, Hibari's aura was simply too strong; even from a distance, his presence was undeniable. However, when the students passed by Hibari, they all walked past with their heads down, making Totsuka feel as if Hibari was a guardian deity of Namimori Middle School, inspiring awe and reverence.

He's just a middle school student... Thinking this, Totsuka couldn't help but laugh out loud again. As he passed the door, he waved to Hibari Kyoya and greeted him, "Good morning, Hibari-kun, you've worked hard!"

Hibari glanced at Totsuka, his face nonchalant. "Herbivore...didn't you get enough rest? If you don't pay attention in class...I'll bite you to death!"

Totsuka smiled cheerfully and patted her face. "I'll try my best, but... Hibari-kun, are you having dinner with us today? I've prepared a lot of food, it'll be fun if everyone eats together."

"Wow, herbivores are really bold!" Lark frowned, and his menacing aura made the members of the disciplinary committee who were originally standing around him immediately take several steps back.

Totsuka remained motionless, her smile unchanged, but she tilted her head in slight confusion. "By the way, why does Hibari-kun always call me a herbivore? I eat meat too."

"Hmph." Hibari snorted coldly, his anger subsiding strangely as he looked at Totsuka's expression. This guy was really strange, but what was even stranger was that he didn't seem to dislike him at all. "Totsuka? Get in there and start class!"

Totsuka blinked and nodded. "Although it's not time for class yet, since Hibari-kun said so, I'll go in now. Goodbye, Hibari-kun!"

"Ten bundles, humph... what a strange herbivore..." Hibari muttered, then focused his attention on the area outside the school gate. If anyone was late... he'd bite them to death!

[Side quest: Provoking Hibari Kyoya three times without being bitten to death, completion rate (2/3). The host's abilities are indeed outstanding; keep up the good work!]

As soon as I entered the school gate, I saw Takeshi Yamamoto practicing baseball in the open space. Yamamoto was still full of energy and waved to Totsuka with his usual cheerful smile.

"Takeshi!" Totsuka walked over. Takeshi Yamamoto was wearing a white baseball team uniform and looked very handsome. There were quite a few girls watching him, chattering about something.

"Tatara, I saw you lingering at the school gate for a while just now. Did Hibari cause you trouble?" Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes were somewhat serious, with a hint of worry. "I saw that everyone around has backed away, but it seems you're alright."

"Hehe." Totsuka was somewhat speechless. It seemed that everyone's opinion of Hibari was a bit... biased? But it was clear that Yamamoto really cared about him, so he smiled back, "Takeshi, I'm fine. I just asked Hibari-kun if he wanted to have lunch together. It seems he really doesn't like gatherings!"

Takeshi Yamamoto's gaze immediately turned strange, and he whispered, "Tatara, it's amazing that you're alright."

"Takeshi, what do you mean by that?!" Totsuka rolled his eyes at Yamamoto Takeshi, but then sensed something flying from the opposite side.

Totsuka turned his head and saw a baseball hurtling towards him at incredible speed. He noticed Yamamoto Takeshi's gaze sharpen instantly. Totsuka took a few steps back and saw Yamamoto Takeshi, bat in hand, gracefully swat the baseball that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere away. Totsuka stared at the now-missed baseball—it really had been a home run!

The girls around immediately screamed, "Yamamoto-kun is so amazing!" "So handsome!"

Takeshi Yamamoto turned around and gave Totsuka a bright smile. "Is Tatara alright?"

Totsuka shook his head and gave Yamamoto a thumbs up. "Takeshi is really amazing!"

"Well, well, it wouldn't be good if the baseball hit someone." Yamamoto Takeshi put his arm around Totsuka's shoulder. "Luckily, Tatara reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been bad if he had been hit."

"Takeshi's reaction and adaptability are also quite good." Totsuka exclaimed, "To be able to hit such a good baseball in such a sudden situation, I think Takeshi could go to Koshien."

"Koshien has always been my goal!" Takeshi Yamamoto said with a smile, heading towards the baseball club with Totsuka. "Tatara, come with me to the baseball club. I'll change my clothes and we'll go to class together."

"Okay, sure." Totsuka naturally didn't refuse. During their visit to the baseball club, Yamamoto Takeshi introduced Totsuka to the club members, and Totsuka greeted them all. After waiting for Yamamoto Takeshi to change his clothes at the locker room door, they walked together to the classroom.

Entering the classroom, Totsuka immediately noticed the girl slumped beside the desk. He thought for a moment, then realized she seemed to be someone he'd only met yesterday, named... Kobayashi Sachiko? He quickly went over, knelt down, and asked, "Sachiko-san? Are you alright?"

Sachiko Kobayashi clutched her leg, her eyes reddening. "It's nothing, I just bumped into the table by accident."

"Let me help you up." Totsuka noticed that Kobayashi Sachiko's leg seemed a little swollen, and added, "I'll take Sachiko-san to the infirmary."

Kobayashi Sachiko looked at Totsuka, who was serious and gentle, and her face gradually flushed. She nervously twisted her clothes with her fingers and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Totsuka-kun."

Totsuka gently helped Kobayashi Sachiko up. By this time, a number of classmates had gathered around to watch. Kobayashi Sachiko was about to take a step when her face paled slightly. After thinking for a moment, Totsuka said softly to Kobayashi Sachiko, "Excuse me, Sachiko-san." He then picked Kobayashi Sachiko up in his arms. Fortunately, the girl was not heavy, otherwise he would not have been able to carry her.

Takeshi Yamamoto quickly walked over, his brows furrowed slightly. "Tatara, how about I take her there?"

Totsuka shook his head and smiled, "Alright, I'll take her to the infirmary right away. If the teacher asks, please tell me the situation, A-Wu. I'll be back in a bit."

Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes darkened for a moment, then he regained his cheerful demeanor. "Tatara, don't worry, come back soon." However, he still felt a little uncomfortable watching Totsuka carry that girl away.

The girls around the class had their eyes sparkling and their faces flushed as they engaged in a lively discussion.

"Totsuka-kun was just incredibly cool!"

"Aww... Totsuka-kun is so gentle. If I had been held in Totsuka-kun's arms just now, I would have been so happy!"

"Totsuka-kun looks like a prince, I'm completely smitten with him!"

"That's right, that's right, I want to join Totsuka-kun's fan club! And from now on, I've decided to call Totsuka-kun 'Prince'!"

"Kyoko, I feel that Totsuka-kun is a really reliable person." It was rare for Kurokawa Hana to have such a high opinion of a boy. "Unlike those people who only know how to show off, Totsuka-kun is genuinely worried about Sachiko-san."

Kyoko Sasagawa, her face flushed, nodded in agreement and said, "Totsuka-kun... very good!"

Kurokawa Hana blinked and teased, "Kyoko can't fall for Totsuka-kun, or I'll be heartbroken."
