"I do mind."
Asuna's smile freeze on her face.
Wait…This isn't going the way she expected at all.
Lynn leaned back in his chair, completely at ease, wearing a calm and unreadable expression.
Asuna stood there awkwardly, unsure what to say for a moment.
An awkward silence quickly spread through the Supernatural Research Club room.
But—As the student council president of Shuchiin Academy, Yuuki Asuna wasn't someone who'd stay stunned for long.
She quickly composed herself, glanced down at the commission form on the table, and flashed a confident smile.
"In that case, I won't push it. But…"
"I'd like to submit a request to the Supernatural Research Club."
Lynn looked up at her and replied plainly, "We only take cases related to the supernatural."
"If it's something normal, try the Service Club—take a left outside the door."
Asuna's eye twitched. Supernatural?
Where the hell was she supposed to find something like that?
She fell into deep thought—and then, suddenly, a particular strange girl in Shuchiin popped into her mind.
Resting her chin in her hand, she narrowed her eyes, recalling what she saw that day.
One time, she'd personally seen that girl fall down the stairs.
But—Just as she was about to rush over and help, the girl literally floated in midair like she weighed nothing at all!
The scene had completely creeped her out.
Back then, she'd mustered up her courage and tried talking to the girl...Only to be completely ignored.
Now that she thought about it, that floating moment really was supernatural, wasn't it?
Alright then! She had her commission ready!
After thinking it through, Asuna decided to play it safe. "So, I have this friend, right? She fell down the stairs last time, but instead of getting hurt, she just floated in the air."
With a look of expectation on her face, she asked, "That counts as supernatural, doesn't it?"
Lynn gave a slight nod. "Alright."
With that confirmation, Asuna immediately pushed forward. "Then, Lynn, could you take a look at my friend's situation?"
"Sure," Lynn replied. "Just bring your friend here."
But the moment he said that, Asuna froze up again.
Lynn raised an eyebrow. "What, is there a problem?"
Asuna gave a wry smile. "Well... yeah, kind of."
Last time she tried, that girl had totally ignored her. And honestly…She didn't even know the girl's name.
"Um…"
Looking a bit embarrassed, Asuna asked, "Would you mind coming with me to see her, Lynn?"
Lynn didn't answer right away. He just gave her a long, thoughtful look.
Feeling the pressure, Asuna squirmed a little—then suddenly blurted out, "Actually, isn't your clubroom getting a bit cramped these days?"
"There are two unused rooms next door… how about we allocate them to the Supernatural Research Club?"
Rustle—
Lynn stood up. "Alright, let's go, President."
To be fair, their clubroom was really getting a little tight.
Seeing him agree, Asuna smiled brightly.

A few minutes later, outside the student council room—
"Wait, your friend's in the student council?" Lynn asked casually as they walked.
Asuna chuckled softly, "No, I meant her name is in there."
Lynn: "…?"
Click—
Asuna opened the student council room door.
Three figures came into view.
Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Suou Yuki.
All of them were solid talents—great picks for a Familia.
Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly.
He already had the Service Club under his belt. Adding the student council? Didn't sound like a bad idea at all.
"Whoa! Asuna brought a guy in!"
Fujiwara Chika shot up from her seat, practically yelling as she ran over!
With her hands behind her back and those big blue eyes sparkling with curiosity, she looked Lynn up and down.
You could almost see her inner gossip gremlin activate.
Asuna sighed and lightly pushed her back by the forehead.
"This is Lynn, head of the Supernatural Research Club."
"Eh?"
Chika blinked, then turned her gaze toward the couch—straight at Shinomiya Kaguya.
Kaguya paused too, her deep crimson eyes sweeping across Lynn with a cool, calculating look.
Meanwhile, Suou Yuki came over with grace and a perfect lady's bow. "A pleasure to meet you, Lord Lynn."
Lynn's eyes landed on her, a flicker of recognition lighting up.
"Ah, so it's Miss Yuki…"
Yuki gave a gentle smile. "Just call me Yuki, Lord Lynn."
(A/N: To avoid confusion, we have the Ghost Kanoe Yuuko, Yukinoshita Yukino (Ice Devil), Yuigahama Yui, and finally the new Y character: Suou Yuki.)
"Alright, alright. We'll catch up later—Lynn and I have business to discuss."
Asuna quickly moved both Chika and Yuki aside and brought Lynn into the room.
"President."
Kaguya's cold voice rang out behind them.
Expressionless, she looked Lynn dead in the eye. "Bringing a filthy man like this into Shuchiin is going to pollute the air, isn't it?"
Asuna stopped mid-step, her eye twitching. "Kaguya, cut the crap. That's unnecessary right now."
Yuki covered her mouth, barely holding in a snort, looking like she was enjoying the show.
Oho~Someone's about to get roasted.
Chika scratched her head, completely lost.
Lynn squinted slightly, sensing the hostility coming from Kaguya.
She'd been giving him that look since the moment he walked in.
No idea why. But...
The last girl who tried provoking him was Yukinoshita Yukino. She's singing his praises on her knees now.
So...you know...
---
"Unnecessary?"
Kaguya spoke again, her brows furrowed.
"I don't think anything I said was unnecessary."
The room went dead silent.
Yuki held her breath.
Damn, Kaguya, you're really going all in today…
With her crimson eyes locked on Lynn, Kaguya continued seriously: "If we keep breathing the same air as this pervert, someone might actually end up pregnant."
Suou Yuki: "…WTF?"
Fujiwara Chika stared wide-eyed at Kaguya, completely dumbfounded. "W-What did you just say, Kaguya?"
Yuki almost lost it and muttered, "Are you seriously joking or… are you being for real right now?"
Kaguya glanced sideways at her. "I'm not interested in wasting time with jokes."
…Wait a sec.
"You were serious about the pregnancy part?"
Yuki looked like her whole worldview had just cracked.
Kaguya frowned. "Is there a problem with that?"
That man was practically leaking degenerate energy. And with no windows open in the student council room, the air was completely still. After a full analysis using her genius-level brain—yeah, pregnancy was statistically possible.
"No, no… none at all."
Yuki quickly shook her head and gave in with a sigh.
"You know what, Kaguya? You really are a genius."
Kaguya narrowed her eyes.
That sounded like a compliment… but why did it feel so wrong?
Forget it.
She gave up trying to make sense of it and calmly lifted her teacup.
"Anyway, I refuse to stay in the same room as him."
"Then feel free to leave."
Suddenly, Lynn was standing right in front of her, looking down with a calm but dangerous gaze.
Kaguya's hand trembled, spilling a bit of tea, but she didn't even notice.
When did he move?!
Before she could even react—she felt herself getting picked up like luggage.
Next thing she knew—
WHAM.
The student council room doors flew open.
Thud.
Kaguya landed flat on her butt in the hallway, dazed like a stunned duck.
"There you go. Now you don't have to worry about getting pregnant."
With that, she heard the door click shut.
Kaguya: "…?"
What… just happened?
...
Inside the room, Asuna gave a sheepish smile.
"Sorry… I didn't think it would escalate like that."
Lynn shook his head. "So, weren't you trying to figure out your 'friend's' name?"
That made Asuna freeze for a moment. She laughed awkwardly and opened the student records.
Lynn raised an eyebrow, his eyes glinting with amusement.
Friend, huh? She didn't even know her friend's name?
But he didn't blame her. When he had male friends back on Earth, he'd been the same way —Hell, he never needed names. A simple "Bro," "Man," or "Big Dog" worked just fine.
...
Asuna, meanwhile, was distracted—her thoughts still stuck on what just happened.
That speed…
Was that supernatural?
He had appeared right in front of Kaguya in the blink of an eye. Just—BAM, and he was there.
"Let me help too," Suou Yuki offered suddenly.
Asuna snapped back to the moment and quickly described the student's appearance.
Off to the side, Chika poked Lynn curiously.
"Hey, hey~!"
He looked down at her.
"Was that just now… actual superpowers?!"
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she waved her hands around to mimic the moment.
"You went whoosh and just appeared in front of Kaguya! So cool!!"
Her enthusiasm even made Asuna pause mid-record search. She kept sneaking glances over, clearly interested too.
Lynn noticed… and then, right in front of them, vanished into thin air.
Chika: "??!"
She gasped, and then—
A large hand landed on her head from behind.
Lynn's voice came from over her shoulder: "You mean like this?"
Chika's heart was racing like crazy!
"That's amazing!!"
With stars in her eyes, she clung to Lynn's arm like a plush toy.
"Can I do it too?! Can I?! Teach me!!"
Lynn narrowed his eyes, feeling like his arm had just sunk into a soft ocean.
Then suddenly— "Found her!!"
Yuki Suou waved a student file in the air with a triumphant shout.
Asuna quickly took it and flipped it open.
Her eyes scanned the photo, and she confirmed: "Yep, that's her!"
"Senjougahara Hitagi!"
Lynn's gaze narrowed.
Another familiar name…
"Class 2-3," Asuna added.
With the name and class confirmed, she gently pulled Lynn's arm out of Chika's grasp.
"Alright, let's go, Lynn."
"Ehhh~?" Chika looked super bummed.
She didn't even get to know how to unlock her own superpowers!
---
Outside the student council room—
Kaguya was still sitting there on the hallway floor, trying to process everything that just happened.
Also, her butt really hurt.
Click—
The door opened again.
She instinctively looked up… and met Lynn's calm but cold eyes looking down at her.
Kaguya froze in place.
Why does he look so scary?!
