Back in his cramped home.
Lin Cun'an tossed his schoolbag aside, then lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling.
Miyajima Sakura…
He knew her all too well.
She was also the heroine of an NTR cuckold doujin, but she was different from Siyuan Liangxiang.
Aiyuan Dahe was a “scumbag,” and the blond delinquent gang were criminals breaking the law. But the doujin about Miyajima Sakura was called *Hypnosis〇 Guidance*. Just as the title suggested, it involved the use of “hypnosis”—a supernatural ability.
Aiyuan Dahe was a tough, muscular guy, sure, but you could still reason with him. “Hypnosis” was different. It was an “illusion” that couldn’t be cut down even with a real sword. It had no physical form; it was more like a mental attack.
Honestly, if he had the choice, Lin Cun'an really wouldn’t want to get too involved with Miyajima Sakura. But it was unavoidable… Even if he kept avoiding her, the “hypnotist” would find him sooner or later.
Because according to the doujin’s plot, this “hypnosis” wasn’t aimed at one specific person. It was an AoE covering the whole map.
The “hypnotist” would first bring the entire school under his control, then lay down rules no one else could break.
The first rule was that, as a committee member, the “hypnotist” had the right to sleep with any woman.
This rule would be planted deep in everyone’s subconscious. No matter how outrageous things got afterward, the rule would always take precedence… And through that rule, the “hypnotist” would bring the entire school—and even people beyond it, including Miyajima Sakura’s mother, Miyajima Tsubaki—into his wicked harem.
Even if it happened right in front of Miyajima Sakura’s boyfriend or Miyajima Tsubaki’s husband, the men would prioritize the “first rule” and wouldn’t find anything sudden or strange about it.
Hypnosis and the subconscious were both terrifying things. Lin Cun'an figured that if he faced the “hypnotist” head-on, he’d end up falling under his spell too.
Still, thank goodness the web of “hypnosis” hadn’t been cast yet.
…Wait. Was he sure it hadn’t been cast yet?
Lin Cun'an jolted. For a moment, he felt the chilling sensation of, “When did you get the idea I hadn’t used Kyoka Suigetsu?” But the next moment, he calmed down.
According to the “first rule,” if the web of “hypnosis” had already been cast, he wouldn’t be thinking this deeply about it.
He recalled the plot.
The “hypnotist” would start by hypnotizing the students and staff during a morning assembly… And as a student, Lin Cun'an would definitely be among the first affected.
How could he fight back?
Transfer schools?
Given Lin Cun'an’s current finances and family situation, dropping out would be easier than transferring…
But why hadn’t the “hypnosis” started yet? Was it because the “hypnotist” didn’t have this ability yet?
The doujin didn’t say anything about when the “hypnotist” first gained his “hypnosis ability,” or how he got it in the first place.
In other words, the current timeline had to be before the story began…
If the “hypnotist” couldn’t hypnotize anyone yet, then dealing with him now should be easier.
But what was that “hypnotist’s” name again…?
Lin Cun'an couldn’t quite remember. Who the hell remembers the male lead’s name in a doujin?! Besides, in plenty of them, the male lead didn’t even have a face, let alone a name! He was basically just a shadow with a dark patch between his brows…
But the hypnotist in this one did have a name. His surname had two characters, his given name had one, and it was pretty ordinary.
Lin Cun'an sank into a long bout of reminiscing…
Oh, got it.
Tanaka Hajime.
Good thing he was Japanese, with a name like Tanaka Hajime. If he were Chinese and his name were “Tian Zhongchu,” that’d be one hell of a mess!!
Once he’d worked out his strategy, Lin Cun'an felt a little more at ease.
Next, he planned to tackle something incredibly important in every student’s life.
“Homework.”
He dragged himself over to the desk, opened his workbook, glanced at the problems, and gave a confident smile.
Heh. No clue.
“System! Get your ass out here!”
【You know how important I am now, don’t you? Bloop, Ai-chan pouted and put her hands on her hips. I’m so awesome, I can barely stand it.】
“Shut up and do the problems.”
【Heh heh, let me see, let me see. The answer to the first question is D, and the second… Bloop, Ai-chan tutored her host like he was a little dummy, then raised her chin proudly to show off her absolute authority… No, wait! Ai-chan nearly got led astray by her bad, bad host! This isn’t what Ai-chan is for!! Host, open your prize pack!】
“Prize pack?”
【Host, you still have one draw left unused. Bloop, Ai-chan feels so uncomfortable, like a certain 〇〇 stick hasn’t been pulled out!】
“Oh…”
Lin Cun'an remembered. There really had been something like that. “But what good stuff could a weak little system like you give me? Bloop, the host looked at the system with disdain.”
【Host, don’t imitate the way Ai-chan talks! I usually can’t show myself, and nobody notices I’m here, so please don’t take away the few traits I have left! Bloop, Ai-chan stomped her feet in anger.】
“Fine, go ahead and draw.” Lin Cun'an said, sounding resigned. “Just remember to come back and do the problems afterward.”
【Unforgivable! Exploitation—! Bloop, Ai-chan protested, then started preparing the draw… The prize wheel began to spin…】
Even though the system said all that, nothing appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Cun'an.
【Whoosh-whoosh, whoosh-whoosh…】
All he heard was the system making some strange sound effects, apparently imitating a spinning wheel.
Pathetic… This was just too pathetic!
He was already broke, and now it turned out his system was just as poor as its host—so poor it couldn’t even manage a special effect!!
【Congratulations, host! Your draw has won the grand prize… Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!】
A series of sound effects like the ones used to reveal an answer on a quiz show… Naturally, she was making them with her mouth too.
【Ta-da! Skill: “Imagine Breaker”!!】
Lin Cun'an: !??
“What the hell is that!?”
Lin Cun'an immediately opened the skill description in TXT format.
“Imagine Breaker”: Your right hand is just a little thicker than other people’s.
“…Is this ‘Imagine Breaker’ the one I’m thinking of?” Lin Cun'an asked.
【It’s exactly the one you’re thinking of. Bloop, Ai-chan started making “Misaka Misaka” noises.】
“Then you’re more useful than I thought!!” Lin Cun'an shouted excitedly.
【Hmph, Ai-chan is very useful. And even if you praise me now, I won’t be happy… Hehehe. Bloop, Ai-chan turned her head away with a pout.】
“All right, back to the problems.” Lin Cun'an pointed at the questions.
【You’re only going to be excited for that little while!? Praise me more!!】
