Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 1087: IUD-Chapter 1082 Uproar

Fang Li had been absolutely correct.

Whether Sylvia did it on purpose or not, this “big news” was bound to explode.

…「Diva Enrolls in A Certain High School!」…

…「Didn’t Take the Advancement Exam?

Diva Repeats First Year!」…

…「The Most Popular Transfer Student in History!

Her Highness, the World’s No.1 Diva!」…

Headlines like these spread across Academy City’s network in less than half an hour and soon began circulating beyond the city limits.

Before long, everyone knew that Sylvia had not only repeated a year but had also transferred into A Certain High School.

As a result, A Certain High School, originally one of the lowest-tier schools in Academy City, instantly became the most famous.

Its official website was practically turned upside down by visitors, and its traffic even surpassed that of Tokiwadai Middle School.

And with that fame came waves of commotion.

For example, a massive number of students began frantically applying to transfer into A Certain High School, causing enormous turmoil.

It wasn’t until the Board of Directors was alarmed and personally issued a transfer ban that the situation slightly calmed down.

For another example, presidents of entertainment companies rushed to A Certain High School one after another, stationing themselves at the school gate in hopes of meeting the Diva face-to-face.

Their vehicles clogged the entrance and caused traffic congestion in the surrounding area, eventually drawing the attention of Anti-Skill and Judgment, who had to disperse them.

Even so, a large crowd continued to gather outside the school gates, forming what could only be described as a sea of people.

Some ill-intentioned paparazzi even attempted to secretly infiltrate A Certain High School.

However, they were surrounded by Skill-Out members from Scorpius who appeared out of nowhere.

The reporters were stripped of their clothes and hung out on the street under the blazing sun for a full hour.

Such was the magnitude of the uproar caused by Sylvia’s enrollment.

And if there was chaos outside the school, there was just as much inside.

Almost every break between classes, the hallway outside Fang Li and Sylvia’s classroom would be packed with people, erupting in thunderous cheers that even the teachers struggled to suppress.

The headmaster personally came to the classroom, hoping Sylvia would participate in promotional activities, but she politely refused.

Komoe-sensei and Fukiyose Seiri were run ragged trying to prevent their classmates from harassing Sylvia.

As for Kamijou Touma, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and Aogami Pierce, they tried to use their familiarity with Fang Li as an excuse to get closer to Sylvia, only to be knocked down on the spot by three swift punches from Fang Li.

Without the slightest exaggeration, the entire Academy City had become lively because of this single incident.

Even the airships floating overhead continuously broadcasted reports about it.

And it wasn’t just inside the city.

Outside Academy City, admirers who had heard the news began lining up in long queues, scrambling to enter.

If not for the fact that the Daihasei Festival had yet to begin, and the city had not yet opened to the public, the population of Academy City would likely have skyrocketed by several ranks overnight.

Even so, people continued arriving in an endless stream.

They rented hotels around Academy City, hoping only to enter as early as possible and get close to the Diva.

Regarding this phenomenon, Himegami Aisa gave the most objective evaluation.

“This is already close to becoming a religion.

How terrifying.”

Fortunately, in this world, there was only one star capable of causing such a sensation, Sylvia.

A popularity that transcended gender and age, covering fans all over the world and numbering in the billions, such influence was unprecedented, and likely would never be seen again.

Of course, Fang Li wasn’t surprised by this at all.

“Even if it wasn’t at A Certain High School, as long as Sylvie appeared anywhere, it would turn out like this, right?”

Because of that, the school Sylvia had previously been enrolled in had tried various countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, Sylvia directly applied for a transfer instead.

Perhaps their headmaster had already fainted.

Even Sylvia’s agency called to discuss whether they should send staff to assist her, but Sylvia refused outright.

“If I agree, that annoying chairman will definitely come pestering me to renew my contract again, won’t he?”

In other words, Sylvia now had influence over all kinds of people in every direction.

Describing Her Highness the Diva as being at the height of her glory might not even be enough.

And under such circumstances, Fang Li discovered that he himself had also become a target.

…「Shocking!

The Diva’s Desk Partner!」…

…「First Day of Transfer!

The Luckiest Guy Alive!」…

…「The Only Person Who Can Talk to the Diva?

The Repeating Senior?」…

Topics like these spread across Academy City with a level of discussion not inferior to Sylvia’s transfer itself.

They even attached Fang Li’s photo and basic information, instantly exposing him to the public eye.

Because of this, Scorpius members who were steadily developing in various corners of Academy City became excited, flooding the internet to beg Fang Li for autographs and photos, arguing noisily among themselves.

At the same time, entertainment company presidents who couldn’t get in touch with Sylvia began targeting Fang Li instead, hoping to use him as a bridge.

The offers they made grew higher and higher, some even high enough to buy a luxury car.

Naturally, the girls of Tokiwadai soon learned about it as well.

“That guy…”

Shirai Kuroko, on her way to A Certain High School in her capacity as a Judgment member to help maintain order, stared at the online news in shock.

“He’s sitting next to the Diva?”

Misaka Mikoto, flipping through free manga at a convenience store, also looked at her cellphone in surprise.

“…This just became troublesome.”

Shokuhou Misaki, holding an afternoon tea party with members of her faction in the School Garden, frowned and worried about it for the entire day.

As a result, the three girls each tried calling Fang Li one after another, only to have their communications rejected, just like the countless irritated company presidents.

All three of them ended up grinding their teeth in frustration.

Of course, the three Tokiwadai girls didn’t know that Fang Li even being allowed to carry a cellphone was already fortunate.

After all, since Sylvia entered the classroom, camera flashes had never stopped.

As a result, students were strictly forbidden from using cellphones, anyone caught would have theirs confiscated.

To be honest, Fang Li truly admired how Sylvia could continue working in such an environment without getting annoyed.

At the very least, even as the so-called “luckiest guy” in everyone else’s eyes, Fang Li was already annoyed to death.

And the worst part was that the annoyance showed no signs of ending.

During the afternoon break, the three idiots seized an opportunity and dragged Fang Li up to the rooftop.

When Fang Li assumed they were about to gang up on him out of envy, jealousy, and hatred, the three of them suddenly dropped to their knees on the spot.

“This is the request of our entire lives!

Please let the Diva take a photo with us!”
