CHAPTER 6: A NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND A FALL FROM THE SECOND FLOOR

CHAPTER 6: A NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND A FALL FROM THE SECOND FLOOR

After two weeks of “house arrest” by both parents and kitchen duties, Ren and Akane entered the new school year as upperclassmen.

Akane carried her usual “Sovereign” expression—cold, composed, untouchable. Yet deep inside, she still felt a slight regret… she hadn’t had the chance to test her “perfect cooking formula” on that giant lake monster.

As for Ren…

The moment he stepped onto campus, the first thing he did wasn’t greet his classmates—

He sprinted straight toward the class assignment board.

“WE’RE IN THE SAME CLASS! HAHAHA!”

There it was.

Minamoto Akane — Takeda Ren — Class 2-A.

Without hesitation, Ren dashed into the classroom. Seeing Akane sitting calmly by the window, reading as if the world didn’t exist, his excitement exploded.

— “AKANEEE! LET’S FIGHT AGAIN!”

Before she could even react—

Ren rushed forward, grabbed her by the waist, and lifted her up, spinning her around like a storm.

— “H-Hey! Put me down, you idiot, Takeda!”

The world spun.

Her vision blurred.

Her patience snapped.

In that dizzy moment, Akane activated her eye ability, locked onto a stable point—

—and delivered a precise, explosive kick straight into Ren’s chest.

BOOM!

The power of the Minamoto bloodline was no joke.

Ren was sent flying straight out of the classroom window—

—and fell from the second floor onto the grass below.

Students from lower classes stared in shock.

“Wait… aren’t those the two geniuses from the great families?”

WHEN THE SCHOOL BELL BECOMES A LIFE-SAVING ORDER

Down in the courtyard, Ren slowly stood up.

Hair messy. Clothes covered in grass.

But his eyes—

Burning.

He activated Future Borrowing.

A blazing red aura erupted around him.

With a powerful step, he kicked off the school wall—

—and launched himself back up to the second floor like a missile.

“AKANEEE! YOU DARE KICK ME?! TAKE THIS!!!”

He burst into the classroom, fist already drawn.

Akane had already stood up.

A long ruler in hand.

Her “Sovereign” gaze sharpened, ready to strike.

The entire class held their breath.

Spiritual pressure thickened the air—

RINGGGGGGG!

The bell rang.

At that exact moment, the classroom door opened.

The homeroom teacher stepped in.

Ren’s fist stopped just centimeters from Akane’s face.

He froze.

Sweat instantly poured down his face.

A memory echoed in his mind—

“If the school calls home because of you… you’re finished.”

Akane calmly lowered her ruler and sat back down with elegant composure.

She shot Ren a look filled with absolute superiority.

— “Class has started, Takeda-kun. Or are you planning to entertain everyone?”

Ren trembled with frustration.

But slowly…

He withdrew his aura.

Then dragged himself back to his seat—right behind her.

Leaning slightly forward, he whispered:

— “Just wait until break time… I’ll make you cook fish for me as an apology.”
