Multicrossover: I Took Utaha's Virginity At The Beginning!

Chapter 17: Chapter 16: Manipulation



Ryuu had been growing more and more unrestrained in his daily life.

The realization that he was no longer bound by normal human limitations had changed him.

Why should he follow society's outdated monogamy rules when he was far beyond ordinary?

There was an old saying—

If you are born extraordinary, you should shine on the grand stage of life.

The interpretation might be different, but to Ryuu, the meaning was clear.

This world wasn't some boring, ordinary Earth. This was a world filled with supernatural elements.

A world where the strong could shape their own rules.

At first, he had planned to live a normal high school life—to enjoy the youthful romance trope, like a classic slice-of-life protagonist.

But—Kasumigaoka Utaha ruined that plan.

With her bold actions, his entire approach had been thrown off course.

Fine.

If normal rules didn't apply anymore, then he'd just have to change his perspective.

If he couldn't follow the world's logic—he would simply bend it to his will.

"Superpower?!"

Miura Yumeko repeated the word in disbelief.

"Ryuu, are you messing with me? I'm not a kid."

She rubbed her temples, murmuring, "Maybe I'm just exhausted… hallucinating or something."

Ryuu smirked.

"It's not something you can explain away, Yumeko."

"...Then how the hell am I supposed to accept this?! The guy I like suddenly says he wants to start a harem, and now he's talking about having superpowers too?!"

She turned toward him, ready to argue further—

But then—

She saw it.

His eyes.

Those eerie, shuriken-shaped pupils.

Something that no human should naturally possess.

"...Color contacts?"

She muttered the first excuse that came to mind.

Ryuu chuckled silently.

Then, the Mangekyō Sharingan faded back to normal black.

"Can contact lenses do this?"

Before she could reply, black flames flickered in the air for a brief second.

Yumeko's breath hitched.

No normal illusion could produce real flames.

This was real.

Everything she had just witnessed was undeniable.

"You… really have superpowers…"

The girl, who had believed in science her entire life, suddenly found herself questioning everything.

But her shock quickly turned into curiosity.

Rather than fear, she felt fascination.

She took a step closer.

"This is insane… but kind of cool."

"So, that thing earlier in class—that was you?"

"Yeah," Ryuu nodded.

"I put the whole class under an illusion. As far as they're concerned, we're just quietly paying attention to the lecture."

"...This is basically hypnosis!"

Yumeko's eyes widened slightly, and she instinctively took a step back.

Ryuu immediately raised a hand.

"Relax. Illusions and hypnosis are completely different. And besides, this is the first time I've ever used it on this scale. If I had mastered this earlier, do you think I would've let Hiratsuka-sensei drag me out of class last week?"

Yumeko hesitated.

That was true.

If he had this level of control, he wouldn't have been caught for sleeping in class before.

Her tense posture softened slightly.

"...Alright. That makes sense."

She still felt conflicted, but at the same time—intrigued.

This only made Ryuu more interesting.

But—

"So… what does all of this have to do with your insane harem idea?"

She crossed her arms, the motion subtly emphasizing her figure.

"Are you saying people with superpowers get special treatment in real life?"

As soon as she said it, she immediately felt stupid.

"I don't know about special treatment…"

Ryuu pretended to be serious, crossing his arms.

"I just know that I have a very important mission."

His tone shifted.

The usual carefree arrogance faded, replaced by something heavier.

Yumeko, caught off guard by his change in demeanor, found herself drawn in.

"...What mission?"

She asked, her voice quieter than before.

"Can you tell me?"

Ryuu smirked.

This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

With a dramatic sigh, he said,

"I have the mission of reviving my family."

Yumeko froze.

The weight of those words hit differently than she expected.

"...Reviving your family?"

"Yeah."

Ryuu nodded.

"The truth is… this superpower isn't just some random gift. It's called a Cursed Technique."

He then began explaining Jujutsu, simplifying the concepts of sorcerers and curses.

Of course, he left out the specific details about his Sharingan.

That was his trump card.

It wasn't long before Yumeko absorbed the information and slowly began to accept it.

"So, wait… If most Jujutsu techniques are inherited, then that means…?"

"Exactly."

Ryuu sighed, shaking his head.

"My family was once a strong sorcerer clan, but we've fallen into decline."

"And now, I'm the last one left."

"As the only surviving member, it's up to me to rebuild my family… and to ensure my technique is passed on."

Yumeko stared at him.

She had known Ryuu for a while now.

She had visited his house before.

And she remembered thinking—

"He lives alone in a pretty big place… is he some rich kid?"

But now, she realized—

There was no one else in that house.

It had always been just him.

Yumeko, despite her usual queen-like attitude, had a kind heart.

Especially toward the people she cared about.

For some reason, knowing this truth about him made her feel—

Sad.

But at the same time—

She was frustrated.

Because now, everything made sense.

Ryuu's "harem idea" wasn't some selfish fantasy.

It was practical.

It was part of his mission.

"...Does Kasumigaoka-senpai know?"

Yumeko suddenly asked.

Ryuu nodded.

"She knows."

"In fact… because of an accident over the weekend, our relationship developed like this."

Yumeko's eyes narrowed.

"An accident?"

"A hero saving the beauty situation?"

She didn't ask further, but she already knew.

Utaha had probably taken advantage of the moment and claimed Ryuu first.

That woman—

Had she done this on purpose?!

Yumeko gritted her teeth.

She refused to lose like this.

---

Ryuu watched as Yumeko fell into deep thought.

Good.

His goal had been achieved.

She wasn't rejecting the idea outright.

For the rest of the class, he let her digest the information in silence.

Then, when lunch break arrived, Ryuu stretched and headed for the cafeteria.

Yumeko remained seated, still deep in thought.

Ebina Himina stepped closer.

"Yumeko, you okay?"

"...I'm fine."

"I just need time to process… some things."

Yuigahama Yui smiled, clenching her fists.

"Yumeko, I'll support you no matter what!"

Ebina, ever blunt, grinned.

"So? Are you giving up?"

Yumeko snapped her head up.

Her expression turned determined.

"Of course not!"

She had been crushing on Ryuu for months.

There was no way she'd let Kasumigaoka Utaha win that easily.
