Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine-Chapter 163 - ⟴ So This Is How You Do Your Tutoring

'Unbelievable! This is absolutely unbelievable! How... how is this possible? In such a short time, all the liberal arts scores have reached excellent levels. During previous tutoring sessions, even passing was just a dream.'

Mafuyu widened her beautiful eyes, her tall slender figure exuding an enchanting presence in smooth black stockings and a dark pencil skirt.

Though this tutoring session was at her home, she remained in her professional attire, appearing just as she did at Sōbu High. Her meticulous and serious demeanor made Fumino, who had made no progress, feel deeply ashamed and anxious.

Rizu's sudden academic breakthrough was the final blow that left her completely distressed.

Before, she and Rizu had supported each other. Despite limited communication, they had shared an unspoken understanding.

Now that bond was broken. Fumino watched helplessly as her former companion achieved her dreams while she struggled under Mafuyu's disappointed gaze, feeling as insignificant as an ant.

Dejected, Fumino seemed to lose all color, becoming like a gray statue as conflicting emotions surged through her. Still, she couldn't help but focus on Rizu.

If Rizu could succeed, couldn't she as well?

She just needed to know how this girl, who had been terrible at liberal arts, had improved so dramatically in such a short time.

Sharing Fumino's curiosity, Mafuyu stared intently at Rizu, her cherry-colored bangs swaying against her jade-like forehead.

"Ogata-san, please tell me how you did it! In my previous tutoring sessions, you clearly didn't understand. How did you master the liberal arts after just a few days of Sōbu High's break? What's your secret?"

She grabbed Rizu's delicate shoulders, shaking the petite girl until her glasses nearly fell off.

"Kirisu-sensei, stop shaking me! I improved quickly because I attended tutoring sessions at the Nakano family's apartment these past few days." Rizu freed herself from her teacher's fair hands.

Mafuyu showed an apologetic smile, but at the mention of "Nakano family", her thoughts immediately turned to Daiki.

Thinking back to the Nakano Hospital incident, he possessed the ability to transfer knowledge — he had even taught Keika Kiyotaki how to play shōgi.

"Ah, could it be what Daiki-kun mentioned before, that special ability called 'Hundred Teachings' that directly transfers Cursed Technique knowledge?" Fumino's brown-yellow pupils flashed with understanding as she recalled witnessing him transfer Black Flash to Nino at Nakano Hospital.

It was an ability coveted by Jujutsu Sorcerers, allowing ordinary people to master techniques without side effects. She had even fantasized about being in Nino's place.

Yet back then, she had been too focused on Black Flash — an ability only Sorcerers could use — before getting distracted by Keika. Now, seeing Rizu's results, she truly grasped the formidable nature of Hundred Teachings, enabling such rapid academic improvement.

'Waaah... why wasn't I there?!' Fumino was on the verge of tears.

Why did she always miss the good opportunities? She had known Daiki first, not Miku!

'Come to think of it, didn't Daiki-kun invite me to the library? And he offered to walk me home at night too. What did I say again... no time... or something... waaah... why didn't I accept?!'

She and Rizu shared similar mindsets, both fixated on improving their grades. Between worrying about her weight and academics, most of Fumino's energy went into raising her science scores.

So when Daiki made those suggestions, she had dismissed them without thought. Now, her stomach churned with regret.

From handling the Parasite disaster at Sōbu High to displaying supernatural abilities at Nakano Hospital, he had proven himself reliable.

Yet Miku from another class had gotten ahead of her.

Fumino couldn't complain about that — it was simply Miku's initiative. But what baffled her were Ginko and Rizu's situations.

Ginko, despite her eccentric and reclusive personality, had barely interacted with Daiki. Yet now their relationship had clearly improved. Even Keika had received his teachings, steadily advancing her shōgi skills to an unknown degree.

The latter situation was even more perplexing — while Ginko's improved relationship made sense given their proximity and the bento incident bridging communication, Rizu's case was different.

After all, it was Fumino who regularly talked with Daiki after class and first approached him about science problems! Meanwhile, Rizu's interactions with him could be counted on one hand. Yet somehow, she had surpassed Fumino!

Fumino sank into self-doubt. Despite appearing to be the closest to him, was she actually the furthest away?

However, Mafuyu noticed something suspicious — all of Daiki's abilities had certain... improprieties. Wouldn't Hundred Teachings be similar? That day, she had been thoroughly exhausted, her legs weak, and she still owed some sessions. So how had Rizu succeeded so easily?

"Ogata-san, how exactly did Tsukasa-kun transfer the knowledge?" Mafuyu asked carefully, rubbing her thighs as warmth spread through her abdomen.

Rizu tilted her head thoughtfully — the Hundred Teachings ability was unique, and during tutoring, they'd discovered a shortcut. She glanced around Mafuyu's living room, spotted the rarely-used sofa, and lay down on it, raising her hips.

"Like this!" She demonstrated simply.

Mafuyu and Fumino's expressions shifted from calm to horror, especially the teacher's.

She understood all too well!

While Fumino processed slowly, Mafuyu instantly recalled that time — it had been far more intense than this.

No! This was inappropriate conduct between students of opposite genders!

How could Daiki and Rizu engage in such activities!

"H-how did it feel?" Fumino stammered, her mind wandering to certain questionable scenarios.

Rizu replied matter-of-factly, "At first it burned and hurt, but after a while, the pain naturally faded."

After a while? What exactly had they been doing all this time?!

Mafuyu's face flushed crimson, her hands trembling uncertainly.

Fumino was stunned — this was far beyond what she'd imagined!

"Wait! Weren't the Nakano quintuplets present too?" She found a discrepancy in Rizu's account.

"Oh, Miku and the others? They were right beside me. Yotsuba screamed quite loudly, and after joining them, I got used to it."

Right beside you? Joining in screaming?

Screaming what? Is this really how they study?!

Steam billowed from Fumino's head like a locomotive engine as her thoughts ground to a halt, leaving her sitting in a daze.

Mafuyu's face flushed crimson with anger, her preconceptions blinding her to the fact that she had completely misunderstood Rizu's meaning.
