Author's Note:
Because of Shido's intervention and the mutual influence of the characters from some anime, the relationship between the characters became very different from the original.
The original plot did not have much reference value anymore!
"Thank you for your time."
Shido bowed to Tomoya and sat down, leaving himself out of the impending trouble.
Tomoya turned around, and saw a squad of students standing behind him. The leading girl was Yumiko Miura with fierce eyes burning with anger. Judging from her expression, she was clearly offended by Tomoya's large-scale insults.
Behind Yumiko Miura, there were also Yui Yuigahama and Hayato Hayama, who were clearly not happy either. Yui was upset because she was one of the victims, and Hayato was upset because this guy insulted his crush Yumiko.
And behind the two of them were two boys who were simping for Yumiko Miura. They started punching the air already, it was obvious that they loved boxing.
Those five students were the popular kids in class.
Hayato was the handsome blonde-haired boy with a great personality, Yui was the pretty pink-haired girl with fair skin and a loose side bun.
Yumiko Miura fixed her gaze at Tomoya, sneer,
"Aki-kun, could you please say that again?"
"Ahh..."
Tomoya literally insulted every single girl in this school, and Yumiko Miura considered herself to be their leader.
If you hate girls so much, then it's fair for them to hate you back!
Yumiko Miura came up with a bright idea, curling up the corner of her lips. She shot a glance at the two simps, and they understood what she meant immediately. After all, they were professional simps.
Tomoya was flabbergasted, totally at a loss for words. He was an Otaku, meaning that he had no idea what to do with popular kids in class.
He glanced at Shido, but he was reading his notes, paying no heed to his surroundings. As for the other students, they were all snickering and waiting for the big showdown.
"Alright, come with us, Aki-kun."
The two simps took Tomoya's shoulders from each side and escorted him out of the classroom. Yumiko, Yui, and Hayato followed them too.
Shido glanced at them, but he was rest assured since Hayato was with them: There was no way they would beat Tomoya up.
After a while, there was a loud voice coming from the playground:
"Check, check."
Shido raised his eyebrows, it was Tomoya's voice, which was amplified by a microphone. With this, his voice would reach every single student in school.
Shido realized what was going to happen; he had to give it to Yumiko Miura for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
"Hello everyone, I am Tomoya Aki!"
All the students gathered at the windows and tried to pay attention.
Shido felt a bit bad about this, but Tomoya kept pestering him, making him feel the need to get rid of him.
In addition, Tomoya couldn't really draw the line between 2D and 3D girls himself. In order to help him realize it, this punishment would be the best for that.
Shido wanted to do this, but he didn't want to draw attention to himself. Therefore, he used Yumiko Miura, the most popular girl in class, to perform such a task.
Judging from her character, there was no way she could stay calm after hearing Tomoya's insults, especially not when Hayato was present.
Shido was laughing on the inside: This was such a flawless plan!
Taking a deep breathe, Tomoya shouted,
"I hate 3D girls! They are violent, jealous, arrogant, always fighting with each other. What good do you see in them!? I will never, ever, have any feelings for the likes of them!"
Tomoya repeated everything he said in class. With this, he would be hated by every girl in this school, including the female teachers.
Sure, he was forced by Yumiko Miura and others, but those were his true feelings.
After that, there was no way that the heroines of "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" would like him. Utaha, Eriri, and whatever her name was, would all stay away from this guy.
Shido believed this would be a good thing for those girls too.
...
Tomoya's incident soon ended, after all, just one or two sentences was enough to make him a public enemy of women.
Yumiko Miura's goal has been achieved, and Tomoya has been hated by all the girls in the school. No one but masochists would have interest in him.
After a while, those popular kids returned to the classroom together, and Yumiko Miura sat back in her seat, feeling refreshed after teaching Tomoya a lesson.
Yumiko Miura was enjoying the admiration of everyone, as she was the most eye-catching queen in the class!
But her attention was not on these boys, but glancing in the direction of Shido, the inconspicuous existence in the class.
In fact, Yumiko Miura was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. Otherwise, she would not become the most popular girl in the class. For instance, Miura noticed that Shido saw her walking inside the classroom back then.
But even if she knew that she was being used, she was willing to cooperate as long as it was what the other party wanted.
That's right, Yumiko Miura liked Shido. Because of what happened last year in the sports festival, she started falling for this young man!
But because Shido's daily avoidance was so good, he never participated in class activities, and did not chat with the girls much, Miura never really had the opportunity to talk to him.
Miura had no sense of crisis. After all, Shido was not very popular with girls, so she was confident that if she initiated the conversation, he would fall for her quickly.
But just now, after seeing Nino Nakano take the initiative to talk to Shido, she could no longer stay calm.
Nino Nakano was very beautiful, cute, and fashionable. She was not inferior to her at all. If the other party had any ideas about Shido, she would be a very strong rival.
Therefore, Yumiko Miura cooperated with Shido and taught Tomoya a lesson. One was to earn Shido's affection, the other was to release her own stress.
Should I take the initiative now?
Yumiko Miura thought to herself.
But little did she know that Shido never really paid attention to her.
There were many reasons: First, Yumiko Miura wasn't even the main heroine in the original story. Second, she was supposed to like Hayato. Third, she was not popular in the fan base either.
Even though Shido was an expert at dating, he was still unaware of Yumiko Miura's feelings. But who could blame him? She never interacted with him, instead, she always hung out with Hayato and the others.
For Shido, Nino was one to watch out for. As for Yumiko, she was more like a NPC.
Nino was a potential threat to Shido and the Spirits' happiness. After all, this girl was full of passion when it came to love. In addition, she had 4 other sisters! Talking to one of them might attract the entire quintuplets as a whole!
In this case, Shido had to formulate a plan and make sure girls lose interest in him.
Then he had an idea!
Actually, he had had this idea a long time ago, and that would be revealing his relationship with the Spirits. Who would go after a guy who was already in a relationship?
It was unnecessary to do it last year since no one paid attention to him. But this year was different, and it seemed like he had to do it.
However, he couldn't just say it aloud since it would be weird. He would have to rely on others to spread the word. Perhaps Hachiman or Itsuki could do the job for him.
