"I don't have the key, so I can't get back to the dorm..."
Eiji quickly explained his situation to his senior sister.
"Ah! I completely forgot, I'm so sorry, Junior Brother! I'll give you the key right away!"
His senior sister suddenly realized her mistake and, with a look of regret, slapped her forehead before handing her key to Eiji.
"Isn't this your key, senior sister? If you give it to me, won't you be left without one?"
"It's fine, I rarely use the key anyway. Besides, I can just use a bit of electricity to open most locks."
His senior sister chuckled and waved her hand dismissively, though her gentle smile contrasted sharply with the alarming words she had just spoken.
Touka wasn't a lock-picking maniac; she was just a bit scatterbrained and sometimes spoke without thinking.
"That's totally a criminal statement, Touka!"
"I've already recorded it!"
A tanned-skinned girl and a short boy nearby both grinned smugly.
"Wha—what?! Really?"
Touka panicked, staring at them in shock.
"Of course not."
"You're a lightning-wielding Blazer, after all. A little sensing would tell you that our student handbooks aren't even open!"
The two of them burst into mischievous laughter.
"They're the student council's administrative officer, Renren Tomaru, and the vice president, Utakata Misogi. The one over there is Ikazuchi Saijou, all of them are among the academy's strongest knights."
Kanata sat across from Eiji, introducing each of them while holding a steaming cup of tea, possibly Darjeeling or Assam.
The short boy, who looked like an elementary school student and barely reached 1.4 meters in height, was named Utakata Misogi. Despite his adorable appearance, which made him popular among older women, he was not to be underestimated. He was the only Causation Interference type Blazer at Hagun Academy before Eiji, a rare talent that earned him the position of student council vice president.
The tanned-skinned girl next to him, who had a very open personality, was named Renren Tomaru. She was the student council's administrative officer and ranked third in the Hagun Academy rankings released at the end of last year.
Not far away, the man with a buzz cut standing in front of the closet looked very stern but was a true tough guy. His name was Ikazuchi Saijou, and he was ranked fourth at Hagun Academy.
By the way, the second-ranked student at the academy was none other than the wealthy Kanata Totokubara, who sat across from Eiji. Her strength was second only to her senior sister, Touka Toudou, making her a top-tier powerhouse. She currently serves as the student council's treasurer.
"By the way, junior brother, make sure to take a good shower and change your clothes when you get back. Your clothes are soaked, and it must be uncomfortable. Leave the wet clothes in the basin in the bathroom, and I'll wash them when I get back. Don't put them in the washing machine, or they'll start to smell..."
Touka Toudou looked at Eiji, drenched in sweat, and knowing what he had been up to, she didn't say much, only giving him careful instructions.
"Touka, are you his mother or something?"
Utakata Misogi couldn't help but tease.
"Still, junior doesn't smell like sweat at all. In fact, he even smells nice... hehe!"
Renren Tomaru, who had somehow appeared next to the sofa, sniffed Eiji and smiled with a look of delight.
"Junior, how about considering my earlier proposal? If you agree, I'll give you a special treat~"
She licked her lips, wrapped her arms around Eiji's, and pressed it against her chest, swaying it back and forth as she spoke in a seductive tone.
Renren Tomaru was a sports-oriented girl, and regardless of her personality, her body was well-trained—explosive, flexible, and with smooth, tender skin.
Eiji's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze flickered over Renren Tomaru's chest.
His keen insight allowed him to instantly gauge the opponent's "strength."
"I'm a very self-disciplined person. I won't be tempted by you, so give up."
Eiji frowned slightly, speaking in a cool, aloof tone.
Though his words would have been more convincing if he had pulled his arm out of her A-cup embrace.
Eiji had always been picky, preferring women with ample bosoms like his senior sister. For someone like Renren Tomaru with her modest A-cup, he had nothing but disdain.
"Eh~? Are you sure? Won't you reconsider?"
Tomaru Renren looked disappointed, clearly planning to escalate her advances.
"Renren, no sexual harassment!"
Touka's face darkened as she grabbed Renren and tossed her onto a chair in the distance.
With one hand!
She lifted a person weighing around 50 kilograms and threw them like it was nothing, showing no sign of effort!
Touka's physical strength was incredible!
Eiji glanced down at his own arm, devoid of any noticeable muscle, and sighed, once again feeling a pang of envy.
Kanata sipped her tea quietly, ignoring the commotion, her gaze flickering between Eiji and Touka.

After getting the key, Eiji quickly left the student council room.
Once back in his dorm, he changed out of his sweaty clothes and took a refreshing shower before stepping out of the bathroom.
"Wow, who's this handsome guy... oh, it's me. Never mind."
As he looked in the mirror, he was momentarily stunned by the sight of the freshly showered young man staring back at him.
The boy in the mirror wore only a towel, revealing a slender, flawless body with pale, unblemished skin that didn't seem to belong to a swordsman. Droplets of water trailed down from his collarbone, slowly making their way toward his abdomen.
"So lewd..."
Even as a guy, Eiji felt that his own appearance was too provocative. No girl could resist this.
His charm stat was 46.
If 50 was the maximum, then he was already at the threshold of perfection.
Charm was a powerful attribute, encompassing not just appearance but also physique, temperament, and other factors.
With his charm nearing the limit, Eiji was nearly perfect in every aspect—his looks, physique, and demeanor were all impeccable. Even the sweat from his pores carried a faint, intoxicating fragrance instead of the usual stench, which was utterly baffling.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been reborn and had to take care of his body, he might have indulged in some self-exploration just to see if even his DNA smelled good.
Wait, actually, his senior sister probably had some insight into whether his DNA was fragrant or not.
After showering and changing, Eiji left the dorm again, heading toward the academy's main gate.
He planned to stock up on necessary items before the semester started. Sports drinks were a given, but he also needed to buy equipment like resistance bands for indoor muscle training.
"Hmm?"
As he walked down the wide path, Eiji suddenly raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise crossing his face.
"An earthquake?"
The ground beneath his feet trembled faintly, but it wasn't continuous—just a single, powerful jolt, as if someone had struck the earth with immense force.
The tremor was so slight that only someone with Eiji's acute sensitivity to subtle vibrations would have noticed it.
Eiji looked up, his gaze settling on the third training field nearby.
The tremor had come from within that training field.
