Chapter 156 – Sophomore

"What in the actual f*ck," Takei gasped. "I thought the probability was too low for this to actually happen..."

When all of them finally reached the school, they saw a large crowd gathering around the bulletin board that was in front of the shoe lockers.

This wasn't typically something that happened often, but it would always happen on the first day of school.

You might ask, what's the reason why everyone is crowding by the bulletin board?

Simply, the answer is that the boards reveal what the class roster will look like for the rest of the school year.

If one were to examine the board beforehand, they would be able to know what class they're in and who's in their class.

With that idea in everyone's head, all of the students decided to go to school early on the first day to see the class rosters.

Takei's group was no different, even if they had accidentally met up by chance.

"Let's hope we're in the same class together," Akari said, as she squeezed Takei's hand.

Takei smiled and squeezed back. "I've prayed to every god imaginable, so I think we have a pretty chance."

"When did you get time to do that?" Akari quizzically asked.

Takei scratched his head in response. "Ahaha, let's just say I haven't been sleeping that much in the last couple days."

Approaching the large crowd, Takei tried his best to squeeze through, to no avail.

When he turned around to the other boys, they also shook their heads.

"No dice, huh?" Takei muttered.

Even with the combined power of Eiji and Ryuto, they still weren't able to pierce through the crowd and view the bulletin board.

Suddenly, he felt a pat on his shoulder that made him turn and look at Akari. "Got an idea?"

Akari nodded. "I can get on your shoulders while you're standing. That'll guarantee a clear view of the bulletin board for me."

"Don't strain yourself then," Takei said, as he lifted Akari onto his shoulders and stood up.

She's as light as a feather... As expected of the goddess! However, her thighs are a different thing altogether...

Takei tried his best to suppress his manly desires while his face was being sandwiched by Akari's heavenly thighs, but there was a limit to his willpower.

"Akari... I'm dying," Takei pleaded.

Akari pushed her body weight forward a bit to try and get a closer view of the board. "Hold on for a second, I can almost see it!"

Persevere me. I got this. A mind of iron and a will of steel! Fight, fight, fight!

Just before his mind collapsed from the sensory overload, Akari finally managed to see the list of students for her class. "One... Two... Three... Oh geez, what are the chances?"

Akari climbed down from Takei's shoulder with an exasperated expression.

"So, what's the consensus?" Takei asked her.

Akari broke the news to him with a wry smile. "We're all in the same class. The whole group somehow all managed to land the same homeroom."

"..." Takei looked at her with an expression that seemed to say he was lost for words.

The rest of the group went over to Takei and Akari since they knew that Akari had seen the bulletin board already.

"What's it lookin' like, Akarin?" Helena asked. "Also, why is Takeichi's mouth frozen wide open?"

Akari dryly smiled and patted Takei on the back. "Ahaha... About that..."

After Akari explained the situation to everyone else, they all had similar reactions to Takei.

"The sheer luck..." Ryuto said, with his head cradled in his hands.

"Lady luck must be on our side," Rikka laughed.

"At least no one will be separated," Arisa tried to find the silver lining in the situation.

Everyone was exasperated with how conveniently placed the students were in their homeroom class.

Somehow, the entirety of Takei's friend group managed to all get in the same homeroom.

This would typically be something to celebrate, but Takei was a person that preferred his calm and quiet time.

With all of his ecstatic and animated friends in the same homeroom, there was going to be no chance for any peace and quiet.

To pour salt over the wound, there was a light tap on Takei's shoulder that woke him up from his grieving.

Turning around to face the person trying to talk to him, Takei turned right into a beautiful girl's face.

The girl had her trademark white hair, dignified demeanor, and doll-like beauty on full blast.

Not to mention, she was also the very highly respected student council president.

"Long time no see, Takei." Aurora Shirogane said, with a light smile on her face.

"Hey, Aurora. How have you been?" Takei asked.

Aurora shrugged, albeit with a refined air around her. "I've been doing okay, it's nice to see you back though."

Remembering that she had snuck up on him out of nowhere, Takei realized that she must've had a reason for approaching him. "Did you need anything from me?"

"Actually, yes." Aurora's eyes sparkled after Takei finally caught on. "Can you stop by my office after school? I have some stuff to discuss with you."

Takei shot a quick glance towards Akari to confirm if he was good to go or not.

Akari understood the struggle that Aurora typically had to go to, so she nodded with a gentle smile on her face.

"Alright, I got the go-ahead," Takei stated. "I'll see you there after school"

"Great," Aurora smiled. "See you then."

After Takei had promised to meet up with her after school, Aurora left the scene in a very good mood.

Takei didn't really know why, but Eiji's words immediately enlightened him as to the reason.

"You harem bastard..." Eiji remarked.
