" Sister-in-law, please don't make trouble to us. Please follow us and meet the boss."

"Yes, sister-in-law. The boss missed you so much and just wanted to meet you."

The surrounding atmosphere felt really tense. The two thugs look really intimidating, and they glared at the bystander to mind their own business.

Noticing the severity of the situation, Ray quickly searched his brain for the information of the two thugs and their boss.

From his memory, he found out that the boss of the two was Reiji Capone. The heir of a gangster family in Maple-leaf town. Those two thugs were his underlings in this school. Since the beginning of the semester, the two thugs have been harassing Rena by calling her sister-in-law.

" Stop calling me sister-in-law!! Please don't talk nonsense. Me and Reiji have nothing to do."

Ray knew that those underlings of Reiji often referred to Rena as sister-in-law, and it annoyed her greatly.

To her, the name sister-in-law was more like ridicule. If it was not for the background of Reiji, Rena would have come to Reiji herself and knock some sense into him.

The situation kept turning worse, and Ray knows if he let them be. Soon the protagonist will come and resolve the situation for Rena, giving her a good impression of him.

Aaaarrrhhh, Ray mustered up all his brain, but no good ideas come to by. He was too weak to use the force method, and it would only lead to him being a joke.

He was about to ask Aina for some advice when a good idea suddenly flashed on his mind.

'Aina, tell me. When I used the master-class poetry last time, the maple leaves effect, are they real?'

[ Affirmative host, A master class skill was out of this world. With the power of master class poetry, the host could transfer the poem's feeling and generate an image to increase the poem's effect. ]

Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheh, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ray was really elated. With this, he could easily solve the problem in front of him.

'Aina, activate the master-poetry skill for me. This time, pick the theme as dread and fearful poem.'

With the skill activated, Ray's temperament instantly changed. The weak temperament was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a dark gloomy temperament that makes everyone shudder.

Ray walks closer to the two thugs who were still harassing Rena.

" I live on dread "

" To those who know "

" The stimulus there is "

" In Danger-Other Impetus "

" Is Numb and Vitalless "

" As there a Spur among the soul "

" A fear will urge it where "

" To go without the specter's aid "

" Were the challenging despair "

{ CC: Live on Dread by Emily Dickinson }

It was only seen as a weird handsome boy who was uttering nonsense in this situation to the other bystander. But the thing was different in the eyes of the two thugs.

There, they saw their biggest fear. Despair fills their entire mind, and if not for their last remaining conscience, they would have bow down and beg for mercy.

Ray didn't care about the two thugs. He came behind Rena and tugged at her, telling her that the situation was now under control.

" Apologize. "

Ray's tone was neither soft nor overbearing. Even so, to the eyes of the two, it was like a punishment from hell. They unconsciously wet their pants and started to apologize heavily to Rena.

Seeing the condition of the two, Ray knows that the master-poetry effect was too tyrannical. He pulled Rena's hand and brought her out of the surrounding crowd. Leaving the troublesome situation behind.

[ DING!!! Congratulation to the host for completing the mission]

[ Please prevent the main heroines from falling in love with the protagonist]

[ Please check the rewards at the host's system inventory.]

Ray was too busy to ignore Aina's notification. He was deeply immersed in the feeling of holding Rena's hand.

A few moments later, Ray and Rena have arrived at the canteen while still holding hands.

" Emm, Ano.."

Rena's words directly brought Ray back into his senses. He quickly pulled away from her hand and noticed that many other students were looking at them.

" Sorry, I didn't intend to.."

" It's okay, I know you don't have any bad thoughts. Furthermore, thank you for your help back then."

The atmosphere was pretty ambiguous for the two of them. A handsome boy alongside a super beautiful girl. The two of them were like pairs made out of heaven.

Ray and Rena were still nervous about the situation. Their heartbeats were a lot faster than normal and their breath become a little bit uneven.

While still being conscious of each other, Ray and Rena quickly finish their business at the canteen. They brought their lunch from the nearest stall and went back to their class.

The two walked across the campus road to the classroom.

" Hehehehe, isn't this the untouched flower who rejects all the man confessing before. What are you doing here with a pretty boy like him."

Ray looked in the direction of the voice, and he found a boy with a bit above average look sneering at them.
