Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine

Chapter 96: Chapter 96 ⟴ Itsuki Gets Overwhelmed by Studies



Though unconventional, the teaching method yielded astounding results.

The Hundred-Teaching ability not only helped overcome natural aptitude limitations but had elevated their learning speed to unprecedented levels. Even Rizu, who had always struggled with Japanese literature, could now grasp the meaning of texts.

Haruno and Yukino watched in amazement, stunned by the Hundred-Teaching ability's effects.

The Nakano quintuplets' academic performance had been abysmal — their minds weren't just missing knowledge; they were completely blank. Apart from Itsuki, none showed any interest in studying.

The two sisters had expected it would take at least three months of tutoring to achieve barely passing grades.

But now?

Their Japanese literature scores had reached excellence, and their social studies grades had soared, with all four achieving passing levels.

Miku, already proficient in social studies with nearly 70 points, had excelled further, reaching 80 points.

Haruno pressed her finger to her lips, anticipating tonight's tutoring session.

Yukino listened to the crisp sounds echoing in her ears, her face flushed.

Miku's case was particularly noteworthy. During each lesson, Daiki would deliberately experience the silky sensation, making Yukino, who sat nearby pretending to read, quite uncomfortable.

Were this girl's stockings truly that silky that he seemed reluctant to let go?

'Black stockings...' Yukino's eyes flickered darkly.

She'd never considered such things before, but Daiki's evident interest left her uncertain.

Should she use this as a pretext to invite him for tutoring tonight? She discreetly ordered a pair of black stockings on her phone.

Haruno simply marveled at the Hundred-Teaching ability's power.

'With Daiki-kun's agreement, becoming a Jujutsu Sorcerer is practically guaranteed.' She was already feeling confident, but the thought of the white-haired woman's face made her suddenly cautious.

Mei was a genuine Jujutsu Sorcerer — Grade 1, no less. Without Daiki, the Yukinoshita family wouldn't have qualified to even meet her.

After all, Grade 1 Sorcerers represented the elite of the Jujutsu World. Combined with their unique Innate Techniques, their destructive power was terrifying.

'If I become a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer while staying devoted to Daiki-kun, would that give him a sense of conquest?' Haruno's thoughts wandered.

Smack!

"Mmm~" A soft whimper arose.

The stinging pain made Miku let out an involuntary sound.

Itsuki, studying intently, gripped her pen tightly, her face clouded with frustration.

Her grade improvement was impressive — but not when compared to the others.

Currently, Yotsuba and the others maintained Japanese literature scores around 90 points, while her own scores hovered between 70-80 points.

Though this was a dramatic improvement from her previous scores in the teens, the gap between her and her sisters' performance left her feeling discouraged.

Social studies proved even more challenging than Japanese literature. While Nino and the others were passing, and Miku had reached 70 points, Itsuki's score remained at the bottom with just 40 points.

At her current pace, she would likely pass by tomorrow noon — an achievement that would have seemed impossible before.

Yet she couldn't help feeling her progress was too slow.

"Daiki-kun, I'm starting to grasp this essay's meaning. Could you..." Rizu said from the sofa, her face flushed.

Despite already passing Japanese literature, she hadn't grown complacent.

Instead, she'd developed an even deeper understanding of the essays, passages that once seemed impenetrable were now perfectly clear. Even social studies had become more comprehensible.

Smack!

Rizu's body trembled slightly, her breath delicate as orchid fragrance, lending her an alluring air.

Despite the embarrassment and unorthodox nature of the method, she remained focused, delighting in her newfound understanding.

This would certainly surprise her teacher, Mafuyu, at their next tutoring session.

"Daiki-kun, I want it too!" Ichika called out playfully, clearly enjoying herself.

As the crisp sounds continued, Itsuki's anxiety grew more visible.

Daiki distributed test papers for another quick assessment. To everyone's amazement, Yotsuba and the others scored between 60 and 70 points. Even Itsuki, despite her attentive listening during lessons, achieved 59 points — just shy of passing.

This left her as the only one who hadn't passed.

Nevertheless, passing social studies now seemed inevitable.

"Itsuki, I got 70 points!" Yotsuba exclaimed, leaping onto her sister's lap with her test paper.

The comfortable lap pillow made her eyes drift half-closed.

"Daiki-kun, it hurts!" Miku tugged at his sleeve as she tried to stand.

Daiki activated his Reverse Cursed Technique, his palm covering the affected area completely.

"...mmm~" His palm pressed gently, drawing an involuntary whimper from Miku.

"Daiki-kun, there's more!" Rizu called, stretching upward, her silhouette clearly defined.

Miku clenched her fists — had it been Yotsuba, she would have punch her.

After considerable hesitation, she allowed her boyfriend to continue healing, but insisted on supervising when he treated the others.

Nino and those harboring ulterior motives had no choice but to set aside their schemes. They quietly accepted the healing and turned their attention to their math textbooks.

This situation only heightened Itsuki's frustration at lagging behind everyone else. Watching Yotsuba recline in her lap while pointing out her mistakes made it worse — they were all studying together, yet she'd fallen so far behind.

How could she ever become a teacher like her mother at this rate?

Lost in these troubled thoughts, Daiki approached to heal her arm pain.

After a brief pause, he began his final lecture on social studies.

Itsuki quietly joined the others in assuming the dogeza position on the sofa.

"This tutoring is certainly... unique…" Haruno remarked, her mouth twitching slightly, while Yukino averted her gaze.

If even his girlfriend Miku remained silent, what right did she have to comment?

She found herself resenting her excellent grades, which left her no choice but to observe as Daiki tutored the others.

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

Time flew by, and before they knew it, sunset had arrived.

The day's tutoring results left everyone elated — especially Itsuki and the others. The prospect of passing Japanese literature and social studies was now a certainty.

As the evening approached, Miku, Ichika and Nino contemplated the logistics of the overnight stay.

Meanwhile, Haruno and her sister set their sights on a different goal: using the Hundred-Teaching ability to become Jujutsu Sorcerers.
