"Yeah, I knew it."
Based on the other party's answer, Asagiri confirmed her suspicion.
Although players can only register for the dungeon once in the third stage, as long as they clear it normally, they can significantly improve their strength. For example, a player who was originally only "excellent" level can improve their strength to at least the level of a top player in the second stage if they can get an A-level or higher clearance rating in the third stage dungeon. The so-called level of a top player in the second stage is also a judgment given by Asagiri himself, and the judgment standard is very simple.
Players who can cause him trouble already possess top-tier second-stage strength, equivalent to excellent third-stage strength.
"Alright, now that the challenge is over..."
Asagiri looked at the twelve players she had defeated and spoke with a smile.
"Anyone who doesn't want to join can leave now."
After he finished speaking, not a single player chose to leave. After all, for "players," money and power in the real world are secondary. What matters most is how to gain power and survive in the game through dungeons.
Clearly, Asagiri is the strongest player they have ever seen, and the player faction he has formed must also be the strongest faction in the real world.
"Now that you've all decided to join, open your player panels one by one and hand over your phones."
"Huh? Show you the player panel information? But..."
Before any player could voice their objection, Ashikaga Miwa interrupted in a calm tone.
"This is not only to arrange the formation of temporary teams in the most reasonable way in the event of emergencies in the future, but also so that I can formulate the most suitable development path for each of you based on your individual abilities. For example, those five players among you, although they are indeed melee-type professions, have completely ignored the improvement of mental strength and have only focused on piling up numbers, resulting in a weakness of too low mental strength, making them completely unable to resist mental attacks. Therefore, as a whole force, we must know the specific abilities of each of you."
Hearing that Ashikaga Miwa had said so, the players had no objections. After all, the other side had that powerful black-clad player in their ranks, and as long as the recruitment criteria weren't too outrageous, there would be plenty of players who wanted to join their side. Besides, it was perfectly reasonable.
Over the next fifteen minutes, all the players present, including the four players from the white suit squad, opened their personal panels in the eye icon app and handed their phones to Ashikaga Miwa one by one. Asagiri sat to the side, using Crazy Meta's exclusive ability "Cyber Hunt" to ensure that no one used any special abilities to modify or disguise their personal information panels.
……
That evening, at Asagiri's house.
Yuuki Asuna, who was curled up on the sofa eating ice cream and looking at her phone, immediately jumped up when she heard the door open. She ran lightly to the door, saw Asagiri who had just entered, and immediately stood on tiptoe to give him a big hug, speaking in a gentle tone.
"You've worked hard, welcome home~"
Asagiri glanced at Yuuki Asuna, who was wearing a loose black T-shirt, revealing her two long and shapely legs. Her smooth feet were on the wooden floor, and her flaxen hair was casually draped down, giving her a lazy and cute vibe like a girlfriend at home.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Asuna Yuuki's pretty face turn red, Asagiri chose to speak her mind directly.
"I'm getting aroused."
Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki's blush deepened, and she sighed with a hint of helplessness, rubbing her forehead.
"Do you possess some special passive skill that makes you inevitably develop perverted thoughts whenever you're alone with me...?"
Asagiri declared righteously, "Anyone who can remain unmoved while alone in a room with such a lovely girlfriend is a god."
"Where did you get all these twisted arguments from..."
Yuuki Asuna shook her head helplessly, then took Asagiri's hand and sat back down on the living room sofa. She picked up the tub of ice cream on the table, scooped up a spoonful, and held it to Asagiri's lips, asking gently.
"How was your day? What about Ashikaga-sensei...?"
"No problem, she'll take care of the specifics."
Asagiri accepted the food offered by Asuna Yuuki, then said nonchalantly.
"We only act as a kind of spokesperson. The specific operation, allocation, and intelligence gathering of the forces are all handled by Ashikaga Miwa herself."
Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki first breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as a high school girl in the prime of her youth, she didn't want to spend all her precious relaxation time managing player factions. But then she looked worried and said...
"Without us, if it's just Ashikaga-sensei alone... can she handle it?"
"Don't underestimate Ashikaga Miwa."
Asagiri shook her head, lay down on the sofa, rested her head on Yuuki Asuna's breasts, and smiled.
"Guess how Ashikaga Miwa recorded the players' personal panel information today?"
"Um……"
Asuna Yuuki gently stroked Asagiri's hair with her hand, while giving a cute look of serious thought.
"A computer? No, that seems unsafe. A computer that can't connect to an external network? Handwriting?"
"Don't tell you."
"Eh?"
Seeing Asagiri's deliberately mysterious look, Yuuki Asuna was a little annoyed. She grabbed his shoulders and shook him slightly, acting like a little girl.
"Don't keep me in suspense, tell me now."
"Oh ho? Yuki-kun, this isn't the attitude of someone asking for a favor."
"Then what do you want to do..."
Just as they were talking, Asuna Yuuki suddenly realized what was happening, her pretty face flushed, and she spoke in a soft, coy voice.
"Since you've had a hard day and behaved very well, I promise you tonight... tonight swallow... swallow... oh, you know what I mean, I can't say it, it's too embarrassing."
"That's right."
Asagiri lay lazily on Yuuki Asuna's fair and soft thighs, smiling as she spoke.
"Ashikaga Miwa didn't record anything in any way; she just looked at it once and memorized the players' personal information perfectly."
"Ah? This..."
Seeing the shocked expression on Yuuki Asuna's face, Asagiri said casually.
"What's so surprising about that? I can do it too. It's not even that hard to remember. Can't you do it?"
Asuna Yuuki: "...Besides you and Ashikaga-sensei, is there anyone else who can have a photographic memory?"
Asuna Yuuki's intention was to ask a question in return, but unexpectedly, Asagiri actually said three more names.
“Kotoko Iwanaga, Kaguya Shinomiya, and oh right, Maki Shijou, who is in the same class as you, can all do this kind of thing.”
Asuna Yuuki first sighed, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked curiously.
"By the way, do you think Yamauchi, who's in the same class as Megumi, will contact us?"
“She had no other choice but to come to us.”
"Too."
Asuna Yuuki nodded, agreeing with Asagiri's idea.
Sakura Yamauchi, who is unable to engage in strenuous exercise, is a burden to almost all player teams in the perilous dungeons. Only the strongest team, consisting of the four strongest players at present—Asagiri, Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Megumi Kato—can achieve high-level clears with her.
"All right."
Asuna Yuuki helped Asagiri sit up, then rested her head on Asagiri's lap and yawned lazily.
"It's time to fulfill my duties as a boyfriend and let me enjoy a lap pillow from you. I'm exhausted today."
Asagiri asked curiously, "Didn't you go home and lie down after school today?"
"What do you mean, 'lying down'? What are you talking about?"
With a serious expression, Yuuki Asuna adjusted her lap pillow position, raised her hand to stroke Asagiri's cheek, and spoke with a hint of "come and praise me" in her voice.
"I gave the house a thorough cleaning today, inside and out, and I even washed and hung up all your dirty clothes. Pretty impressive, right?"
