Seeing that Qin Chuan seemed to agree, Akagi immediately perked up and quickly revealed his destination.

Since Qin Chuan usually goes straight home after school and rarely hangs out with others, Akagi didn't have high hopes for Qin Chuan's invitation this time.

But for some reason, Qin Chuan seemed to have suddenly changed his attitude and actually took the initiative to ask where he was going, which immediately energized Akagi.

The main reason is that although Qin Chuan usually acts very ordinary, Akagi knows very well that Qin Chuan's actual ability is stronger than he appears, so with Qin Chuan by his side, he feels more confident.

"Service Department?"

Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised to hear Akagi's answer—of course he knew the name; it was a club that appeared in a work from his previous life.

The founder is Yukino Yukinoshita, a well-known girl at school with excellent grades. She is aloof and indifferent to those around her, which makes many people take notice of her.

Of course, because of her indifferent personality, many people were quite unhappy with her. Even though she was outstanding in appearance and talent, she was considered a problem child by many teachers.

Qin Chuan's homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, is one of these teachers. She is very concerned about the mental health of her students and has tried to solve the problem of Yukino Yukinoshita's personality more than once.

In the original work, her solution was to throw another problem child into the "Service Club" established by Yukino Yukinoshita, so that the two problem children could stick together for warmth.

Qin Chuan didn't know what she was thinking, but this action was probably impossible in this world.

Qin Chuan had never heard of the male protagonist known as "Master" by readers in his previous life—Hachiman Hikigaya.

After all, this is not Soubu High School, but the private Toyonosaki School. Students from different works are crammed into one school, so it is only natural that some students will be squeezed out of the school's quota.

Hachiman Hikigaya was probably unlucky and ended up in a different school.

As for Qin Chuan, since his behavior at school was perfectly normal, he was naturally not considered a problem child by Hiratsuka Shizuka, nor was he forcibly thrown into the Service Club by her.

To be honest, although Yukino Yukinoshita's aloof and unattainable appearance in the work is quite likable, Qin Chuan felt that the actual experience of meeting her would probably not be so good.

"Even if you don't follow outside news, you should have heard about it, right? After all, this is the club founded by Yukino Yukinoshita."

With an eager smile on his face, Akagi extended a warm invitation to Qin Chuan.

Many people have already heard about the Service Club. Yukino Yukinoshita said that "the Service Club will lend a helping hand to people in trouble, and students can come to the Service Club with any requests they have."

However, Akagi clearly had ulterior motives; he simply wanted to see Yukino Yukinoshita, whom he usually couldn't get close to.

To be fair, Akagi himself is not bad. Probably due to family genetics, he has excellent athletic ability, but unlike his cousin, he is not as strong as a gorilla.

Akagi's image as a typical athletic young man makes him quite popular with some girls. If he wanted, he could even have a cute girlfriend and enjoy a bittersweet high school life together.

However, this guy was too ambitious and always wanted to get close to the famous girls in school, but he never succeeded.

Yesterday's example of Kasumigaoka Utaha is similar, and this time's example of Yukinoshita Yukino is also similar.

I heard that this guy once went to the art club to ask to join in order to meet another famous school beauty, Sawamura Spencer Eriri, but he was kicked out of the art club.

The reason was that this guy couldn't resist eating all the fruit from the art club, and in the end, he fled in a sorry state without even seeing Eriri, and was teased by his classmates for a long time.

"Although I know your purpose, you should at least have a reason for going to the Service Department, right?"

Qin Chuan looked at Akagi and said helplessly.

"The Service Club is where students accept requests. If you go there and can't come up with any requests, you'll probably be kicked out by Yukinoshita, right?"

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, Akagi's expression changed immediately. He probably thought of his past experience of being kicked out of the art club, and nodded seriously.

“That’s absolutely right… How about I have someone from the Service Department teach me how to play soccer?”

"You're the ace of the soccer team, right? Going to have someone from the Service Department teach you how to play soccer, are you sure you're not just trying to cause trouble?"

Qin Chuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. Akagi had joined the soccer club at school and was one of the club's ace players; there were few soccer players in the entire school better than him.

Is this guy planning to have Yukino Yukinoshita teach him to play soccer? Or is he just here to cause trouble?

Despite Akagi's unreliability, Qin Chuan still decided to accompany him to the Service Department. After all, even if he didn't come along, Akagi would probably still go to the Service Department on his own.

Rather than that, he might as well go along himself. On the one hand, it would prevent Akagi from embarrassing himself too much, and on the other hand, he was also curious to see Yukino Yukinoshita, a character he had seen in the works in his previous life.

"Okay, it's settled then! I'll think carefully about what request I should give Yukinoshita today, and then after school I'll ask you to come with me, Qin Chuan!"

After learning that Qin Chuan would be going to the Service Club with him, Akagi's confidence increased considerably—it seems he knew how unreliable he was, and Qin Chuan's presence could help him maintain his composure.

"You should really study harder."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but complain. Judging from what Akagi said, it seemed that he would spend the whole day thinking about what kind of request to give to the Service Department, and he probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on his studies.

"Is Qin Chuan also interested in Yukinoshita?"

After Akagi left, Kato Megumi, who was sitting in the front seat, couldn't help but turn around and ask a question.

She had overheard Akagi and Qin Chuan's conversation and knew that Qin Chuan was planning to go to the Service Club with Akagi after school.

Akagi's intentions were quite clear, but Qin Chuan's intentions were less clear, so Kato Megumi was obviously a little curious as to whether Qin Chuan was after Yukino Yukinoshita.

Kato Megumi was somewhat concerned about Qin Chuan, the boy who noticed her presence and took the initiative to talk to her.

"It wouldn't be wrong to say I'm interested... but it might not be the kind of interest you're imagining."

Qin Chuan replied with a smile that his feelings for Yukino Yukinoshita were more like "wanting to see what the characters in the illustrations are like in real life," which was different from his feelings for Akagi.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have actively sought out famous girls in order to ensure his peaceful life, but now he's much more relaxed about it.

Perhaps his newfound strength has made him less reserved than before.

"is that so?"

Kato Megumi looked a little confused; she obviously didn't understand what Qin Chuan meant.

Chapter Thirteen: The Invisible Protagonist

"That concludes today's lesson. Students, you may leave now."

The peaceful day of classes quickly came to an end. Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up her book, her gaze sweeping over the students below the podium, finally settling on Akagi.

"Some students have been distracted all day; I hope I don't catch them a second time."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this—everyone knew who Hiratsuka Shizuka was referring to; it was Akagi, who had spent the entire day pondering what kind of request to make to the Service Department.

The reason why all the students knew about Akagi's absent-mindedness was quite simple: he was called on to answer a question in math class, and when answering a multiple-choice question, he gave a shocking answer:

“The Mediterranean.”

The math teacher, who was already balding, was so angry that his face turned completely red. This incident will probably make Akagi a laughingstock until the end of the semester.

Qin Chuan had no idea what Akagi was thinking, or what kind of request he wanted to give the Service Club, that would lead him to blurt out an answer like "Mediterranean" (referring to a bald spot on the head).

However, if Akagi makes a few more blunders like today, he might be labeled a problem child by Hiratsuka Shizuka, and who knows, he might be thrown into the Service Club one day.

Of course, Akagi was clearly unaware that being a problem child had these advantages.

"Kato, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."

Qin Chuan packed his schoolbag and said goodbye to Kato Megumi in the front row—now that he could sense Kato Megumi's presence, it was no different from that of an ordinary person.

"Okay, Qin Chuan, see you tomorrow."

Kato Megumi turned around in surprise, probably not expecting that Qin Chuan would actually still notice her and greet her.

She had initially thought that Qin Chuan noticing her this morning was just a coincidence. After all, it was true that occasionally other people would notice her by chance for various reasons, but they would usually ignore her again after a short while.

But now it seems that Qin Chuan has really been able to notice her all along, which surprised her a little, but also made her a little happy.

Although she was used to being ignored, it didn't mean she didn't want anyone to notice her. Qin Chuan's attention made her enjoy the feeling of being noticed for the first time.

"Qin Chuan! Let's go!"

However, it seems that only Qin Chuan noticed her. Akagi walked over and seemed completely unaware that Qin Chuan was saying goodbye to Kato Megumi. He couldn't wait to go to the Service Club with Qin Chuan.

……

Qin Chuan and Akagi stood at the entrance of the Service Department, without knocking or going in.

The reason was simple: when the two of them arrived at the door, they heard what sounded like people talking inside, which meant there were other guests in the Service Department.

Out of politeness, Qin Chuan stopped at the door and waited, while also stopping Akagi, who was about to rush in.

Akagi is embarrassing himself, but isn't Qin Chuan, who came with him, also embarrassing himself? So Qin Chuan had no choice but to step in and discipline Akagi.

However, Akagi, who had been pulled back, clearly sensed something else.

"Huh? Qin Chuan, how come you've suddenly become so strong?"

He looked at Qin Chuan's right hand with some curiosity—just now Qin Chuan's right hand grabbed his collar and pulled him back, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

Although Akagi is a bit unreliable, he is quite confident in his strength. The fact that he could pull himself back so easily shows that Qin Chuan is incredibly strong.

"I just exercise regularly."

Qin Chuan certainly couldn't say, "This is combat power that I synchronized with from another world," he just casually brushed it off with the excuse of training.

The power brought by a combat strength of 20 is indeed strong, but with just a simple action like pulling Akagi back, Akagi wouldn't realize that Qin Chuan has now become a tough guy who can catch bullets with his bare hands.

Just as the two were talking, the door to the Service Department opened, and a black-haired girl walked out with her head down and a look of panic on her face.

When she saw two people standing at the door, the girl was clearly startled. She shrank back, bowed to Qin Chuan and Akagi, and ran away from them.

"Oh? It's Yotsuya Miko from Class D."

Unlike Qin Chuan, Akagi, who is usually more outgoing, knows many people in various classes, so he also knows some students in those classes. He recognized the girl who ran away in a panic.

"Miko Yotsuya?"

Upon hearing Akagi mention the girl's name, Qin Chuan's expression immediately turned strange.

The reason is simple: this Yotsuya Miko is a character from a manga that Qin Chuan read in his previous life.

However, that comic book was not so ordinary—because the setting of that comic book was that evil spirits that could not be seen by ordinary people existed in various parts of the world.

These evil spirits do not usually harm people, but if they are certain that someone can see them, they will attack that person.

Miko Yotsuya is the unfortunate one who can see evil spirits. What's worse, although Miko Yotsuya suddenly awakened the ability to see evil spirits, she did not awaken the ability to deal with them.

So after that, Miko Yotsuya could only pretend she couldn't see those evil spirits and force herself to live a normal life surrounded by countless evil spirits.

Judging from Yotsuya Miko's timid and flustered appearance just now, she must have been able to see the evil spirits—maybe she came to the Service Club this time to see if the Service Club has any solutions.

"Evil spirits..."

Qin Chuan frowned slightly. He looked around but saw nothing.

The flaw in the Dragon Ball world lies in this: relying on the power of "ki," the warriors in the Dragon Ball world have extremely exaggerated physical strength and can release ki blasts, but they have made little progress in terms of spirit and soul.

The most typical example is that even cosmic overlords like Frieza, after death, could only obediently be bound to Hell by Yama, which shows their flaws in their souls.

This situation only began to show signs of being resolved in Dragon Ball Super, starting with Goku and Vegeta transforming into Super Saiyan Gods, their souls began to change from humans to gods.

Only then did their souls gradually become stronger—but this was clearly not something Qin Chuan could consider now. He couldn't even transform into Super Saiyan 1, so naturally he couldn't think about Super Saiyan God.

Although the Super Saiyan God and the Super Saiyan transformation are not directly related, the Super Saiyan God ritual requires six righteous Saiyans to concentrate the energy of their righteous hearts onto one person.

Among the Saiyans of that era in the Dragon Ball world, could you find six with upright hearts? Even Bardock probably wouldn't meet that criterion.

"Concentrating 'qi' on the eyes can improve dynamic vision, but it still doesn't allow me to see evil spirits... It seems I need to strengthen my spirit and soul."

Finally, he tried using "qi" to strengthen his eyes, but he still couldn't see anything. Qin Chuan then realized the source of his current deficiency.

After learning that the world might be teeming with evil spirits, he couldn't possibly remain indifferent. The thought that those disgusting things might be right next to him made Qin Chuan feel very uncomfortable.

"I wonder when I'll be able to unlock the second world; maybe it can solve my needs in this area..."

Chapter Fourteen: High School Students in Their Youth

"Please come in."

As Yukino Yukinoshita's clear, cold voice rang out, Qin Chuan and Akagi entered the Service Club's room—just as Qin Chuan had expected, only Yukino Yukinoshita was inside.

It seems that the "Master" Hachiman Hikigaya from the original work is really not in this school anymore, otherwise Shizuka Hiratsuka would probably have already thrown him in.

"So, is there anything you need to entrust to us?"

Yukino's gaze swept over Qin Chuan and Akagi, lingering briefly on Qin Chuan.

Humans are visual creatures, and even Yukino Yukinoshita is no exception. Compared to Akagi, Qin Chuan clearly fits her aesthetic standards better, so she took a second look at him.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita was not a lovesick girl, and she didn't care much about physical appearance, so she quickly looked away and asked the two questions.

"Tell me, what do you want to commission?"

Qin Chuan glanced at Akagi beside him. He didn't know what Akagi was planning to entrust. He couldn't possibly entrust something like "Mediterranean" (a derogatory term for a bald man).

"Ahem, actually..."
