Chapter 203: Rigel Appears

"Hey, you guys... What exactly are you doing?"

The voice came from behind the followers who had been harassing Char.

It belonged to a male student they had never met before.

"N-no! It’s not what you think! We were just—!"

"N-no! We were never—!"

The followers spun around in panic, desperately trying to make an excuse.

If the speaker had been a male teacher, it would have been troublesome.

If he had been a senior in the discipline committee, it would have been even worse.

But the person standing there was neither.

"Eh...?"

Char let out a tiny sound.

It was only natural.

After all, the boy was none other than her beloved Rigel.

"Y-yah...! Kyaaaaa!! D-don’t look!!"

The moment the onlookers realized who it was, Char screamed at the top of her lungs and threw herself to cover her body.

Even when the crowd had seen her nearly naked and insulted her, she had managed to endure—barely—because only girls were present.

But to have her most beloved witness her shameful, perverted state... There was no way she could remain calm.

"Hah! I thought it was someone else, but it’s Rigel."

"The E-Class bottom-feeder has a complaint about what we’re doing?"

The followers spoke arrogantly, confident that the lowest-ranked student in their own class would not dare oppose them.

If it had been a senior discipline-committee member or a male teacher, they might have been cautious.

But here was the S-Class lowest-ranked boy himself. No need for excuses.

They believed Rigel would back down.

However, Rigel did not look at them at all. He simply walked straight toward Char.

"Are you okay?"

"Eh...?"

Char was completely bewildered.

She had assumed Rigel would look at her with disgust.

A weak, powerless girl who could not resist harassment from her own classmates.

A girl who had been forced to expose her ugly, shameful body in front of the same people.

How could she possibly face Rigel after this?

But Rigel showed no sign of any such reaction.

"For now, put this on to cover yourself."

He took off his own school jacket and offered it to her.

"T-thank you..."

Char accepted it with trembling hands and wrapped Rigel’s jacket around her body.

Wearing his uniform felt exactly like being held in his arms.

(Rigel-san’s scent...)

Enveloped in her favorite smell, Char’s mind grew hazy.

In the meantime, Rigel turned his gaze toward the followers.

"What the hell were you three doing?!"

The usually quiet (or pretending-to-be-quiet) Rigel was roaring in anger.

The followers froze for a split second.

"N-no, we didn’t do anything wrong!"

"We were just trying to expose her true nature!!"

The followers tried to dodge, but Rigel saw through them.

"So that’s how it is. If you’re acting like this, I have something to say."

Rigel glared at the three of them.

(Shit! This guy’s serious...!!)

(The lowest-ranked in the S-Class, but he’s still an S-Class student! We can’t afford a full-scale conflict!)

Cold sweat broke out on the followers’ faces.

They were mid-tier S-Class students.

They believed they could beat the lowest-ranked Rigel one-on-one.

And with three of them against one, the odds were overwhelmingly in their favor.

But they knew angry people could sometimes go berserk.

They had no intention of escalating this into a serious fight with another S-Class student just for currying favor with Ero-Ra and Rebecca.

"Calm down. This person is nothing but a fool who defied Ero-Ra-sama."

"Right! Plus, Rebecca-sama hated her too! And judging by her face, Nino was probably the same!"

The followers declared.

They were only mid-tier S-Class themselves, yet Rigel showed no sign of backing down.

So what if they brought out the names of the real upper-class elites?

If they named the top S-Class students—Ero-Ra, Rebecca, and Nino, the "Miracle Generation"—then even Rigel would hesitate.

The followers believed this would shut him up.

But—

"Fuuun... So the cause of all this commotion is you three?"

Rigel’s face remained completely calm.

""Ehh...!?""

The followers were stunned by Rigel’s reaction.

(Why...? Even though he’s an S-Class student, the lowest-ranked one isn’t reacting at all...)

(We’re two, plus three upper-class S-Class students... that’s five against one! Why isn’t he scared...?)

While the followers were still confused—

"Hyaaaaaah!? W-wait! I’m not involved!!"

"Right! I didn’t give any orders!!"

"D-don’t say my name without permission!!"

Ero-Ra, Rebecca, and Nino suddenly appeared in a panic.

It seemed they had heard about the commotion and rushed over to check.

"So the puppet master has arrived... You three know what’s coming for you, right?"

Rigel said it quietly, staring them down.

The punishment of every girl who had been involved in the harassment was about to begin.

—-

The harassment that had forced Char to walk almost naked down the school hallway was finally coming to an end.

Because Rigel had arrived.

"Hmph... You three went all out, didn’t you?"

Rigel looked at Ero-Ra and the others with pure contempt.

The Royal Academy was a place where nobles, wealthy merchants, and commoners mingled.

Officially, it was forbidden to discriminate by status or change how you treated people based on background.

But in daily life and grades, status was inevitably read.

Just like every year, the same harassment from S-Class students toward E-Class students had occurred.

But this particular act—making the victim walk almost naked in the hallway—was too much.

"So three masterminds, two executors, and eight onlookers...?"

Rigel scanned each face.

The three masterminds were Ero-Ra, Rebecca, and Nino.

At the entrance exam, Rigel had once raped them while killing time.

The two executors were followers of Ero-Ra and Rebecca respectively.

Each was mid-tier S-Class with decent combat ability.

The eight onlookers were likely students from A to E Class.

Char herself had thought there were more, but in reality it was this many.

Since Rigel did not know any of them personally, that was probably it.

"Wait! We’re not the masterminds!!"

"Exactly! I had nothing to do with it!!"

"It was those two who did it on their own! I’m not involved!!"

Ero-Ra, Rebecca, and Nino desperately tried to deny everything.

But Rigel’s cold gaze never changed.

"Fuuun... You really think I’d believe that...?"

"Please, just trust me! It was those two who started it...!"

"I really had nothing to do with it!!"

"Right! You have to believe me!!"

They were frantic.

Because if they turned Rigel into an enemy, it would be disastrous.

A revenge rape would be more like a reward.

Waiting for another rape was painful but bearable in the short term.

But with Rigel’s true combat ability, he could wipe out their hometowns and turn them into wastelands.

The three girls knew exactly how terrifying Rigel was.

"D-don’t kill us... Please..."

"I’ll do anything... Just forgive us..."

"Mercy... Please have mercy..."

The three girls dropped to their knees and begged for forgiveness.

They even licked their own shoes.

They threw away their pride and desperately fought to save their own lives.

From one perspective, their actions were correct.

For a moment, Rigel’s anger seemed to ease.

But from a broader viewpoint, it was completely different.

"Eh? U-um... What... What is this...?"

Char, the victim of the harassment, was completely stunned.

When Rigel had arrived, the girls had suddenly dropped to their knees and begged.

It was natural that she was confused.

Rigel was an S-Class student, yet his class rank was the lowest in the entire school.

Had he reversed his position after entering?

No, no such rumor existed.

Moreover, the two executors had not knelt.

They were just as bewildered by the sudden change in behavior from the upper-class girls.

Who exactly was Rigel...?

The question raced through Char’s mind—

"Char, you must be tired. Since I’m here, it’s over. Just sleep a little."

"Eh? Ah..."

Rigel gently pulled the confused Char into his arms.

Then he stroked her head.

(What... I feel so calm...)

Being held against Rigel’s chest made her heart feel safe.

Char buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes.

A heavy sleepiness soon overtook her.

"R-Rigel... san..."

When Char whispered his name, her body went limp and she fell asleep instantly.

Once her breathing confirmed she was fully asleep, Rigel turned his gaze back to the three girls.

"You three were being careless, weren’t you? I’m the ’S-Class bottom-feeder’ right in front of Char, remember?"

"Ah... I’m sorry..."

"Y-yes, that’s right. We were at fault..."

"...Sorry..."

When Rigel pointed it out, the three girls apologized without resistance.

They had been so eager to deny the harassment that they had made a new mistake on top of the old one.

Rigel’s hobby was rape.

He especially enjoyed it in various situations.

He had just begun to form a bond with Char through the "dropout companions" act.

He had wanted to nurture that into affection and friendship, then turn it into some pleasurable rape.

But the plan had taken a huge detour because of this harassment incident.

On top of that, Rigel’s true power had been revealed, making any correction impossible.

The fact that he had used his good judgment to put Char to sleep and calm her was the right call.

Once she was asleep, he could explain everything later however he wanted.

For now, the matter of Char was on hold.

Next would be—

"Um... Ero-Ra-sama...?"

"Rebecca-sama, why are you bowing to someone like that?"

The two followers did not understand what was happening.

And the eight onlookers were equally confused.

Their "punishment" was exactly what Rigel had planned next.
