Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

I thought you weren't coming.

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"What are you saying, Teacher Qinchuan? I already promised you yesterday, so of course I'll come today."

"I am a very trustworthy person."

Upon hearing Haramura Makoto's words, Okafune Sokan quickly waved his hand.

"I did not mean that."

"You must have received a lot of inquiries from schools yesterday. I thought you were going to transfer to one of the five colleges."

Oh, so you knew.

Upon hearing what Shinsen Sogan said, Haramura Makoto understood.

This teacher must have known about his superpowers through his own experience with the ship, which explains why she said that.

While this might not be the case in secret, in the open, superpowered individuals are undoubtedly the symbolic figures of this city.

Whether it's a research institute or a school, as long as there's one person with superpowers here.

They would almost become famous throughout Academy City, attracting a large influx of students and funds.

Just like Tokiwadai Academy!

Why was Tokiwadai Middle School able to stand out in the entire Academy City last year?

Isn't it because there are seven Level 5 espers in the entire Academy City, and Tokiwadai Middle School has three of them?

The same applies to the other five prestigious schools in Academy City, such as Long Point School, where the first student is said to have studied.

"That's true, but for me, it doesn't matter where I go to school."

"It just so happens that the school is quite close to my home. Does that mean the school doesn't welcome me?"

Makoto Haramura shrugged.

Just as Qin Chuan Su Gan said, his phone was ringing off the hook with calls from all sorts of people last night.

They are either the principal of this prestigious university or a board member of that prestigious university.

In short, the only goal is to get him to go to his own school.

Now that his research institute has been taken over by that girl from the Kihara clan, how could they possibly let the school go?

In fact, if it weren't for his wife Sugan's invitation last night, he might have actually accepted the invitation to the computer academy last night.

After all, that principal was very sincere.

Not only were his attendance assessments waived, but he was also provided with a private single dormitory room and all the necessary facilities.

"That's not true."

"After the principal heard about it, he called me all night yesterday, trying to persuade me to keep you here."

Even now, Qin Chuansugan still finds it hard to forget the old man's excitement last night, his incessant chatter until four in the morning.

However, she could understand the old man's excitement.

After all, it's unheard of for a Level 5 student to join an ordinary school.

If they really manage to keep Makoto Haramura here...

That old man was incredibly proud in front of his peers.

"In that case, I have no problem."

"I don't care about the school's situation, nor do I need the school to provide me with any material things."

"I think this place is pretty good."

Qinchuan Sugan nodded and reached into a pile of papers on his desk, pulling out a single sheet.

He then handed the paper to Haramura Gesei.

"Take a look, is there anything wrong with the information above?"

Haramura Makoto also looked at it carefully, and then returned it to Shinsen Sogan.

"no problem."

Qinchuan Sugan also took out the seal that she had prepared in advance, stamped it, and then put it in the drawer to store it.

"In that case, your enrollment procedures are complete."

"I didn't think you could get into this school, but since you've already made this choice, I won't try to persuade you otherwise."

Qinchuan Sugan stood up from her chair, pushed up her glasses, and smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt that had gotten a little creased from sitting for so long.

"I think you should know that the school can't give you much since you've been admitted."

"After all, the school's financial situation is not as good as those of the prestigious schools."

Makoto Haramura nodded.

He had, of course, anticipated this.

"However, what we can give you is the greatest possible freedom."

Qinchuan Sugan blinked her eyes, her bright red lips opening and closing.

"You can ask me for leave whenever you want, even for promotion exams, I can ignore it."

"How about it, as long as you can represent the school in the annual 'Daihasei Festival'?"

It's normal for an ordinary person to be unaware of the darkness within Academy City.

But who is Qinchuan Sugan?

She is the daughter of the most important person in the family, and the daughter of one of the twelve directors of Academy City. Of course she knows some of the secrets of Academy City.

She also knew what was behind these Level 5s in Academy City.

Especially someone like Makoto Haramura, who skipped the opening ceremony for so long, must be involved in some secrets of Academy City.

To be honest, she didn't really want Makoto Haramura to enroll.

After all, while Makoto Haramura represents honor, he could also very well represent trouble.

But since Makoto Haramura had already made this choice, she certainly couldn't refuse.

In that case, all she can give Haramura Makoto is the greatest possible freedom, as long as he nominally belongs to the school.

She didn't think her school had anything to teach at Level 5, and doing so would also largely avoid trouble.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

"Of course, I will do my best to win honors for the school."

The freedom proposed by Qinchuan Sugan was exactly what he wanted.

His choice of this school was largely due to this aspect, and he had originally intended to bring it up, but it was best that his wife, Sugan, brought it up herself.

As for the Daihasei Festival.

That was practically the most important festival of the year in Academy City.

On such days, even the usually heavily guarded Academy City will allow outsiders to enter.

This was also a day of great renown for all the schools in Academy City.

He had no reason to refuse such a small condition.

Chapter 168 Unfortunate Physique

There's no need to elaborate on the school matters; he didn't ask the school to disclose his ability level, so it naturally didn't cause any disturbance.

It was only at this time that students entered the school, causing a small disturbance in the classroom.

Humans, regardless of age, always possess a sense of curiosity.

In addition, Haramura Makoto was exceptionally handsome, and the female students practically surrounded him.

As for Makoto Haramura, he has never been a shy person.

He has always been the type to readily accept good advice, so he naturally made good friends with his classmates in no time.

However, he declined the invitation from the new students today.

It's not that he has other important matters to attend to, but rather that he has someone else he wants to invite.

And this person is sitting right across from him.

"Kamijou-senpai, is it okay to eat this?"

"I have some assets, so there's no need for me to save money."

Sitting in his chair, Makoto Haramura looked at the pile of hamburgers and fried chicken on the table and said to Touma Kamijou across from him with a hint of helplessness.

"It's okay, the hamburger is fine, there's no need to spend so much money."

Kamijou Touma skillfully tore open the packaging bag on the hamburger, opened his mouth, and took a big bite.

Normally, someone who does something as trivial as giving directions would never be so shameless as to ask for a meal as a thank you.

But there's nothing I can do!

As the end of the month approaches, he is already struggling to make ends meet. Yesterday, he managed to snag some discounted food and is prepared to make do with what he has.

On his way home, he encountered a female student being bullied by thugs. After helping her, the discounted food he had finally managed to get was reduced by half.

It's impossible to survive for five days with such a small amount of supplies.

That's why he accepted Makoto Haramura's invitation.

So what if he's shameless? It's better than going hungry. He can always get his revenge later.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Kamijou-senpai has really bad luck."

"Did something happen to you today?"

Makoto Haramura showed no interest in these junk foods; he was simply drinking a can of cola.

There was a reason he said that.

After school, he called Touma Kamijou and invited him out for dinner. However, on the way out of the school gate, Touma Kamijou was hit head-on by a flying soccer ball.

On his way here, Touma Kamijou also stepped on a banana peel, causing the back of his head to make intimate contact with the ground.

Just now, while ordering food, a child was playing around in the restaurant and spilled his drink, which landed directly on Touma Kamijou's pants.

One bad thing is one thing, but for two or three things to happen at the same time is a coincidence that is simply astonishing.

"I'm really unlucky, and it's not just today."

If Haramura Makoto hadn't said anything, things would have been fine, but as soon as he did, Kamijou Touma's face fell.

With that bitter expression on his face, Touma Kamijou began his self-narration.

This matter has probably been bottled up in Touma's heart for a long time, and he has never been able to let it out.

When Makoto Haramura asked, Touma Kamijou started spitting out his questions like he was pouring out beans.

From the age of six, he experienced all sorts of misfortunes, and eventually it was rumored that he had the constitution of a plague god. Everyone distanced themselves from him and eventually chose to live in Academy City.

However, his physical condition did not improve after arriving in Academy City.

Every now and then, I get harassed, have money stolen, get eggs broken, and end up in the hospital...

Honestly, in this situation, most people would have lost faith in life long ago.

This senior student is able to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life, which shows his incredible inner strength.

Meanwhile, Makoto Haramura also joined in.

(White Demon, that seems to be it. He is the one you mentioned who possesses the 'power of rejection' in this world.)

Kamijou Touma kept talking non-stop while eating.

(That's it, his so-called misfortune is just the faint power he constantly exudes, rejecting all attempts at protection.)

The voice of the White Demon also rang out in Makoto Haramura's mind.
