Absolutely not!!!
Hikari screamed in her heart.
The women outside are all so bad, and my brother is so naive.
What if he gets tricked by a bad woman by accident?
“Why did you suddenly think about going back to school?”
Although Hikari was strongly opposed in her heart, returning to school was actually a good thing for her brother right now.
It just wasn’t a good thing for her.
Gen Hoshino said, “I’ve been thinking about it at home for a long time, and I still think it’s better to finish high school. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to find a job after entering society.”
Here in Japan, you only qualify to become a social outcast after graduating high school.
Never mind what progress high school under the ‘happy education’ system has compared to middle school.
On the surface, the academic qualification is indeed higher.
Hikari hesitated, then said, “But I remember you were writing light novels at home, brother. Aren’t you going to keep pursuing your dream anymore…”
Gen Hoshino smiled wryly.
“I’m just an amateur, far from the level where I can make a living from it.”
“Besides, going to school and writing light novels aren’t mutually exclusive. I can join the literature club. Maybe my writing skills can even improve?”
Hikari thought for a moment and continued asking, “Then have you decided which school you want to go to? Trying to join a high school mid-way must be very troublesome, right? And won’t the new school be very far from home?”
Gen Hoshino suddenly revealed a very mysterious smile.
“Guess?”
Hikari blinked, thought for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
“Qianyu Middle School’s high school division?!”
“Bingo! Congratulations on guessing correctly. There’s a prize for the right answer.”
After saying that, Gen Hoshino placed a piece of fish into her slightly open mouth.
Hikari’s attention was now completely off the fact that Gen was going to high school.
What came next was obviously even more shocking to her.
“How did you get in? That’s the hardest high school division to get into in the whole city!”
Every year, even students from Qianyu Academy’s own middle school find it difficult to enter the high school division.
It’s practically a private garden opened by the Shiratori family, the school’s shareholders, for themselves.
Unless your academic performance is exceptionally outstanding or you have some other extreme special talent, getting into Qianyu Academy’s high school division is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
“It wasn’t that hard to get in. I just needed to take a special entrance exam.”
As he spoke, Gen Hoshino opened his phone and showed his sister the report card sent to him by Qianyu Academy’s high school division.
Mathematics I score: Perfect, Grade A+
Mathematics II score: Perfect, Grade A+
Japanese score: Perfect, Grade A+
World Geography score: Perfect, Grade A+…
Hikari looked at the uniform perfect scores and A+ grades on the report card and fell into deep thought.
These middle school subjects were already giving her a headache.
The special entrance exam questions for Qianyu Academy’s high school division must be much harder than the normal ones.
“Brother, you’re a monster…”
Hikari Hoshino exclaimed.
Gen Hoshino scratched his head sheepishly.
“Back then, to help tutor you with your studies, I ended up self-studying some high school knowledge. I didn’t expect the self-study results to be this good now.”
‘This is just ‘good’? This is already earth-shattering!’
“We can go to school together and come home together. The high school division gets out earlier than the middle school. I can even come home early to prepare dinner for you. It’s perfect, don’t you think?”
“I… I…”
Hikari stammered “I” for a long time without forming a complete sentence because the real reason she didn’t want him to go to school was stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
What could she do?
Could she really say, “I don’t want you to go to high school because I’m worried you’ll be taken away by another woman”?
Gen Hoshino observed the changes in his sister’s expression, a flicker of disappointment passing through his eyes.
After a moment, he said, “If you don’t support me going, I don’t have to go.”
Hikari hurriedly explained, “No, no, no, brother, that’s not what I meant!”
‘How could I think about imprisoning my brother by my side forever just for a little bit of selfish desire?’
‘And for brother to achieve such good results, he must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. If I just veto it like this, wouldn’t he really resent me in his heart?’
Just as Gen Hoshino said, if he were to attend high school, Qianyu Academy’s high school division was the optimal choice from any angle.
Hikari Hoshino’s heart was tangled with a thousand knots, struggling between being a good sister and a bad sister.
By handing the decision of whether to go to high school to her, Gen Hoshino was undoubtedly putting her on the rack to be tortured.
Suddenly, Hikari remembered something.
She had a Heart Gem!
‘I’m a Magical Girl. I can directly modify people’s consciousness.’
‘And if we go to school together and come home together, how could any other bad woman possibly have the ability to snatch brother away right from under my nose?’
Once she realized this, Hikari Hoshino immediately stopped hesitating and chose to become the good sister who was willing to think about her brother’s future.
“I support you going to high school!”
Hikari Hoshino said.
“Really?”
Gen Hoshino asked in surprise.
Hikari Hoshino snorted.
“Of course. What kind of person do you think your sister is? I’m not that selfish.”
Gen Hoshino said excitedly, “My lady sister is indeed wise. What do you want to eat for lunch and dinner? I’ll start preparing right away!”
“I want to eat… Mapo Tofu!”
“Received! Anything else you want to eat?”
Gen Hoshino immediately started taking notes on his phone.
“And Sauerkraut Fish!”
“Received! Anything else?”
“And…”
．．．．．．
Gen Hoshino stood in front of the full-length mirror, observing his attire and facial expression.
Tomorrow was Monday, the day he would report to Qianyu Academy’s high school division as a transfer student.
As a transfer student, the first impression was too important; it almost determined whether he could smoothly integrate into the class later.
There was nothing wrong with his appearance and attire.
He was a handsome, youthful, sunny, and vibrant young man.
But his eyes were too profound, giving people a feeling that he had a lot on his mind.
Gen Hoshino looked at himself in the mirror, his gaze gradually shifting from profound to clear and bright.
‘Hmm, perfect now.’
Gen Hoshino nodded.
As a villainous executive, learning how to infiltrate and disguise oneself, swiftly switching between roles, was one of the required courses.
No matter how handsome, one had to be able to instantly transform into a completely unmemorable extra the moment they were thrown into a crowd.
There were two main reasons why he wanted to return to school.
First, the leader ordered him to produce significant results within a month.
If he didn’t take to the field personally, it would be almost impossible to achieve.
And as far as he knew, the two S-rank Magical Girls were both in Qianyu Academy’s high school division.
If he became their classmate, Gen Hoshino had ten thousand ways to manipulate the relationship between them.
Whether it was sowing discord or making them more united, it wouldn’t be difficult for him.
Second, the third member of the classic trio protagonist team, the last S-rank Magical Girl—Shiori Shiratori—was at Qianyu Academy’s high school division.
Even though he had cleared one playthrough, Gen Hoshino actually knew very little about this Magical Girl.
He had tried various methods to collect information about Shiori Shiratori, but the Shiratori family’s information protection was excellent, simply not giving him the opportunity.
There was no other way.
He had to take to the field personally.
He needed to figure out from the source the reason why this young lady from a wealthy family would ultimately meet a tragic end.
High school student Gen Hoshino, making his grand debut!
Early the next morning, Hikari was very happy, insisting on holding Gen Hoshino’s hand as she skipped and bounced along the road to school.
It wasn’t until they entered the school and reached the fork in the road between the middle school and high school divisions that the two had to separate.
Hikari encouraged him, “Brother, you’ve been at home for a long time. It’s your first time seeing so many people. Remember not to be nervous during your self-introduction. Believe in yourself.”
Gen Hoshino smiled.
“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t be nervous.”
If he got nervous over a simple self-introduction, he might as well retire early from his position as a top executive.
The two parted ways at the fork in the road within the academy.
Hikari looked back every few steps, constantly watching Gen Hoshino’s retreating figure.
Suddenly, she remembered a problem she had overlooked.
A very serious problem.
Qianyu Academy’s high school division only had one class, and in that class, there were two Magical Girls, both of whom were her seniors.
Would they possibly…
‘Impossible. The seniors don’t seem like the type to fall for someone at all. How could they snatch my brother away?’
Hikari Hoshino shook her head, tossing those strange thoughts out of her mind, and turned to enter her own classroom.
