"Is that Qin Chuan over there?"
"He's really handsome... No wonder he can date the young lady of Shuchiin."
"I heard that he and that girl from Shuchiin are not dating. She seems to be dating Kita from our school."
"Huh...really? I think I heard from his classmates that he's dating a girl in the class, her name is Jia...what was her name again?"
In the corridor, Kasumigaoka Utaha overheard some girls talking, seemingly discussing a boy named Qin Chuan who had recently become quite famous at school.
Because of his relationship with the girls at Shuchiin Academy, Qin Chuan's name sparked a small amount of discussion.
In addition to his already handsome appearance, many girls who hadn't noticed him before started to recognize him.
Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't particularly interested in these gossips, but the girls around her often discussed them, so she eventually heard of him.
She looked up and followed the girls' gaze—sure enough, on the other side of the corridor, a boy was walking there; it was Qin Chuan, the girl they were talking about.
Her appearance was indeed quite good; even Kasumigaoka Utaha had to admit that her looks were also within her own good ball zone.
What surprised Kasumigaoka Utaha even more was that she seemed to sense a sense of familiarity from the other person's figure.
"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before... and it was just recently."
Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, looking at Qin Chuan's back not far ahead. She thought carefully for a moment, and then quickly remembered.
"Wait! This guy looks like the one who disappeared yesterday with his car!"
Chapter 278 Eriri Wants to Be Educated Again
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse yesterday, Kasumigaoka Utaha actually had some impression of Qin Chuan's figure because she had been thinking about the scene of that "paranormal event" all night.
Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't possibly determine whether Qin Chuan was the protagonist of yesterday's "paranormal event" based on just one figure; she just felt there was a possibility.
"No, no, how could there be any supernatural events in this world? Maybe it's just because Qin Chuan is a superpowered person..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the classroom and sat in her seat, still thinking about Qin Chuan.
As someone who believes in science, Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't really believe in supernatural events, but instead considers possibilities in other ways.
But she quickly shook her head, speechless at the thought she had just had:
"Wait, what's the difference between superpowered individuals and paranormal events? They're both unscientific."
While Kasumigaoka Utaha has seen light novels that categorize superpowered individuals as science, from a realistic perspective, it's still too surreal.
Normally, Kasumigaoka Utaha would probably forget about this after a few days.
However, now that she has discovered that Qin Chuan is likely the protagonist of the "paranormal event" she witnessed yesterday, Kasumigaoka Utaha's curiosity has been piqued.
She felt that if she didn't figure this out, her mind would be shrouded in this fog for a long time to come, and how would she continue writing her novel then?
But what could she do? Should she just find Qin Chuan and ask him if he was a ghost or a superpowered person? Just thinking about it makes it clear that he wouldn't obediently tell her, right?
After hesitating for a while, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up and walked over to a small group of girls next to her.
She had just overheard these girls discussing Qin Chuan, so she decided to find out more about him from them.
After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha had never been interested in boys before, so even with Qin Chuan, who has been the subject of much discussion recently, she didn't even know which class he was in.
"Huh? Kasumigaoka-san...?"
The girls sitting nearby were also somewhat surprised to see Kasumigaoka Utaha walk over.
They didn't usually interact with Kasumigaoka Utaha, and they didn't know what Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to do after coming here.
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha isn't the type to stick with others and seems somewhat aloof, she hasn't been ostracized or bullied because of her grades and somewhat arrogant personality.
Rather, given her eloquence, anyone who wants to bully her should think twice before they get verbally attacked and utterly humiliated.
"Excuse me, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Kasumigaoka Utaha acted naturally, maintaining a sense of distance while remaining polite, and asked with a faint smile.
"Could you please tell me about that student, Qin Chuan?"
……
Qin Chuan spent the first class chatting with Kato Megumi again.
It wasn't that Kato Megumi didn't like studying; it was just that the teacher's teaching style in the first class was so boring that the whole class was drowsy.
Kato Megumi was in the same boat, so she could only manage to stay awake by distracting herself and chatting with Qin Chuan on her phone.
Although this kind of daydreaming will definitely reduce learning efficiency, it's still better than falling asleep.
Qin Chuan was happy to spend the time chatting with Kato Megumi—but just as get out of class was about to end, Qin Chuan suddenly saw another message on his phone.
It was sent by Eriri:
"Come to the art department's office after class."
"Ok?"
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Eriri to suddenly contact him.
He thought that after the embarrassing incident on Saturday, Eriri would probably take a while to recover before daring to contact him, but he didn't expect her to recover so quickly.
However, since Eriri had made a promise, Qin Chuan didn't refuse and simply replied, "Okay."
He didn't think Eriri was trying to do anything wrong by inviting him to the art club's room—after all, the break between classes was only ten minutes long.
Eriri had witnessed her battle with Irisviel, so she shouldn't think she could finish Qin Chuan off in ten minutes. There must be something else going on.
Right after Qin Chuan replied to Eriri's message, Kato Megumi's message followed immediately:
"Achuan, were you texting another girl just now?"
"Huh? You noticed that?"
Qin Chuan was stunned. He didn't expect that just by switching to reply to Eriri's message, he would be noticed by Kato Megumi immediately.
"Don't underestimate a girl's keen senses."
Because it was a message on the screen, Qin Chuan couldn't see Kato Megumi's expression—but he could still tell from the text that Kato Megumi was a little resentful.
However, perhaps because she had already seen Qin Chuan surrounded by many girls, Kato Megumi, though somewhat resentful, wasn't too angry.
"As compensation, can Achuan go on a date with me this weekend?"
Upon seeing this message, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh. So that's what Kato Megumi was planning.
Of course, Qin Chuan would not refuse this request.
Although we had arranged to invite the band to my new house for the weekend, there are two days in a weekend, and it doesn't necessarily have to be on the same day.
……
After the first class, Qin Chuan went to the art club's office as Eriri had requested.
It's still early before club activities start, and the art department's office should normally be locked.
However, Eriri is the ace member of the art club, so she has special privileges and holds the key to the art club, which is why she was able to invite Qin Chuan to meet her at the art club.
The club's offices were on a separate floor, distinct from the classrooms, so when Qin Chuan arrived at the entrance of the art department, there was no one else in the corridor on that floor.
He knocked on the door, and soon the door to the art department classroom was opened. Eriri peeked around to make sure no one else was nearby before pulling Qin Chuan inside.
"Is it really necessary to treat them like they're guarding against thieves?"
Qin Chuan chuckled as Eriri pulled him into the art club's classroom, then looked around the room.
Just as he had expected, the classroom was filled with various sketches and oil paintings, which should all be the students' works.
It's hard to imagine that Eriri, a doujinshi artist, is actually an ace member of such a serious art club.
"Because this kind of thing definitely can't be seen by others."
As Eriri spoke, she pulled a stack of drawings out of her schoolbag.
"Come quick, help me take a look at these drafts, see if there's anything that needs improvement!"
Chapter 279 It's too late to back down now
"You've drawn another sketchbook?"
Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the stack of drafts that Eriri handed him.
How long has it been since Eriri finished her last book? It probably hasn't even been printed yet, right? How come she's suddenly started drawing a new book so quickly, and she's even almost finished the draft?
Qin Chuan took the draft that Eriri handed him, flipped through it roughly, and found that there were quite a few pages—it wasn't just a simple writing exercise, but the size of a complete notebook.
"...Can't I just have an inspiration? You can look at it!"
Stared at by Qin Chuan with such a strange look, Eriri seemed to get a little flustered, and her golden twin tails started to swing involuntarily—but at least she didn't use her twin tails to hit her own face.
In fact, Eriri was also surprised that she was able to finish another draft of a notebook in just two or three days.
Although she was surprised by her own efficiency, Eriri knew very well why she was in such a hurry to finish the draft of this notebook.
On one hand, just as she said, inspiration struck—after observing Qin Chuan and Irisviel's actual combat and trying out those toys, Eriri's mind was constantly overflowing with inspiration.
Although Eriri was speechless at the inspiration, as an artist, she remained true to her desire and drew these elements into drafts.
On the other hand, she was so motivated to complete the drawings because she knew that, according to the agreement, these drafts should be handed over to Qin Chuan for review as soon as they were finished.
And wouldn't that give her an excuse to get close to Qin Chuan?
Although Eriri stubbornly insisted that she didn't have any special feelings for Qin Chuan, her heart and body were quite honest.
If it weren't for the fact that finishing the drawings would give her a reason to be alone with Qin Chuan, Eriri probably wouldn't have been able to complete so many drawings in such a short time.
"How is it? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
Eriri watched Qin Chuan sitting there flipping through her drawings with some nervousness—to be honest, she had never been this nervous, not even when showing her drawings to her mother.
After all, those were the illustrations for the book. Even though she had already done very intimate things with Qin Chuan, she still couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well, most of them are of very good quality, and there are even many areas where there has been significant improvement."
As a reader who has read countless books, Qin Chuan offered his opinion quite seriously.
Perhaps because she had observed Irisviel and herself in actual combat beforehand, Eriri's portrayal of expressions this time was remarkably detailed.
If someone with little experience were to read this, they would probably blush with embarrassment—but Qin Chuan is now a seasoned expert, so he wouldn't blush over a mere book.
However, Qin Chuan quickly picked out a few pages from the stack of drafts and placed them on the table:
"But compared to the other pages of the draft that show significant improvement, these pages are clearly problematic. In many places, they have actually regressed, and there are too many things that need to be corrected."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan looked at Eriri with a somewhat suspicious gaze:
"You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
Qin Chuan had reasonable grounds to suspect that Eriri deliberately drew a part of the draft poorly, and then used the excuse of asking him to "give guidance" to do some strange things to her.
It sounds far-fetched, but Eriri, as a doujinshi artist, has a lot of "common sense" that is different from ordinary people, so she might actually do something like this.
"That...how could that be possible!?"
Eriri's expression suddenly turned extremely panicked. She hurriedly waved her hands vigorously at Qin Chuan, her entire face turning bright red.
Even someone who doesn't know Eriri could tell from her reaction that she must have been touched on a sensitive topic.
In fact, Eriri didn't mean to do it on purpose at first. She was just a little sleepy because she was drawing at night, so she accidentally made some mistakes.
She had originally planned to make revisions, but while revising, she suddenly had a bright idea: since she was going to show these drafts to Qin Chuan anyway.
Since that's the case, why not keep these drawing mistakes? Then Qin Chuan can take this opportunity to do something to himself.
For example, saying, "The pose of the legs you drew here is not quite right. In this case, a girl's legs should look like this," and then coming up to touch their own legs, etc...
Eriri wasn't usually the type to think strange things about boys, but Qin Chuan had gone a bit too far with her these past few days, making her feel like she was going a little crazy.
"There are indeed many areas that need to be changed, especially the human body."

As Qin Chuan spoke, he took out his phone and placed it on the desk next to him with great seriousness, pointing the camera at Eriri.
"Hey? What are you doing?"
When Eriri saw Qin Chuan place his phone on the table, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the phone's camera was pointed at her.
"Instead of slowly pointing out your mistakes in painting, wouldn't it be better to let you experience what it's like in real-world painting?"
