Chapter 10 10 Summoned Beast System, Eriri Comes to Confront Hakuto
The bell rang for the end of class. Yuji, Voyeur, Hideyoshi, and Akihisa immediately walked over and said to Hakuto, "The next class is a test of the school's new system. Apparently, the strength of the Summoned Beasts we summon is determined by our exam scores."
Hakuto instinctively thought of the system from "Idiots, Tests, and Summoned Beasts".
"If your scores are too bad, your Summoned Beast will be very weak. So, my advice to you underachievers is to do some cramming, or else you will get destroyed by better students."
Hearing this, Voyeur immediately retorted, "Your grades are not any better than ours, you know."
Hakuto was dumbfounded. Then he remembered that because of Eriri, he had to go out and work part-time every day to earn a living, so his exam scores only barely passed the passing line.
'Dammit!'
Hakuto could not help but curse inwardly, 'That damn Sawamura Spencer Eriri really was a terrible influence.'
"I heard that the damage inflicted on the Summoned Beasts is accurately reflected on the summoner. That means if your Summoned Beast gets hit, you will also feel the pain."
Yuji shared a piece of information. Then Hakuto immediately looked at Yuji and said, "Did your childhood sweetheart secretly leak that information to you?"
"Stop talking nonsense. It was not Shouko who told me. I found out on my own."
Yuji immediately tried to distance himself from the claim. Seeing how Yuji was trying to deny any connection, Hakuto could not help but tease, "A beautiful girl like Kirishima Shouko is chasing after you, and yet you look so disgusted. Are you even human?"
"I just think of Shouko as a little sister. I like older women!"
Hearing this, Hakuto patted Yuji's shoulder. "You do not know how lucky you are. If it were me, I would have agreed immediately."
"Then go ahead. From now on, Shouko's happiness is your responsibility. You are a simp, so Shouko will definitely be happy with you."
"Get lost. I am not a simp anymore. Now I am going to be a lone wolf."
After some horseplay, Hideyoshi said to Hakuto, "But speaking of which, why would the school suddenly want to test this kind of Summoned Beast System? And the fact that these Summoned Beasts can reflect pain back to the summoner seems a bit unreasonable, does it not?"
"Since the existence of those Spirits is reasonable, then creating a Summoned Beast System is also a reasonable existence, right?"
"According to the old way of thinking, this is an era where humans and Spirits coexist. I have heard that those who contract with powerful Spirits can even fly and disappear into the ground. I wish I could become a contractor too."
Akihisa said with a look of longing.
"That kind of thing is too far away from us. Do not think too much about it. Akihisa, you had better seriously consider your upcoming grades. If the strength of the Summoned Beasts really depends on grades, then your grades are at the bottom of the entire school."
Yuji looked at Akihisa with a pitying expression.
"Also, I heard that if you lose a Summoned Beast battle and your score drops to zero, you have to attend remedial classes. And the teachers for remedial classes are Tetsujin and Hiratsuka-sensei."
A look of fear appeared on Akihisa's face.
"What about you, Yuji? Are you not worried?"
"There is no need to worry about that at all. When Yuji was a child, he was called a prodigy. He just went off the rails later on."
"If this guy picks up his prodigy title again, he will be able to catch up in his studies quickly. As for Voyeur, his other subjects are at the passing line, and no one can beat him in health education."
"If Hideyoshi works hard, he can also manage to pass all his subjects without any problem."
"As for me, I was just delayed by part-time work before. So now, as long as I pick things up again, it will not be hard for me to catch up."
After Hakuto finished speaking, Akihisa's eyes widened, and he looked at Hakuto and said, "You have all betrayed me!"
The classroom door suddenly slid open, and then Eriri stood at the entrance.
Looking at Hakuto in the classroom, Eriri shouted at him with some annoyance, "Hakuto, come out here. I have something to ask you."
Hakuto glanced at Eriri, but he could not be bothered to respond and simply ignored her.
Seeing that Hakuto ignored her, Eriri felt even more unhappy.
She angrily walked up to Hakuto.
"Why did you not bring me a bento yesterday?"
Hakuto saw that Eriri had actually come to confront him about this, and he immediately laughed.
"Why should I bring you a bento? Did you pay me, or do I owe you money?"
Eriri was stunned. She had not expected Hakuto to question her back.
"But you always used to..."
"You said it yourself, that was the past. In the past, I was blind and liked you. Now that I do not like you anymore and I do not owe you anything, why would I continue to be your simp?"
Yuji gave Hakuto a thumbs up. He could now be sure that Hakuto truly was not a simp anymore.
Other people in the class also turned to look at this scene.
"You..."
Hearing Hakuto say he did not like her anymore, Eriri's heart suddenly felt empty, as if she had lost something important.
"What about me? Are you expecting me to continue giving unconditionally? Continue being your simp? Do not be stupid."
"The reason I was willing to be your simp before was because I liked you. But what did you do? You dragged me into that Aki Tomoya's club to use me to stimulate him?"
"To make Aki Tomoya feel a sense of crisis, so he would pay more attention to you? And on top of that, you wanted me to go out and work part-time every day to earn money, buy ingredients, make bentos, and provide them to all of you?"
"But you did all that voluntarily!"
Sawamura Spencer Eriri's defense was weak.
"Yes, I was stupid before and did it willingly. But people change. Now I am not willing anymore. I do not like you anymore. Is that not allowed? And you come running to confront me about why I did not bring you a bento? Do you not think that is ridiculous?"
"You seem to take everything for granted, forgetting that I do not actually owe you anything!"
