Chapter 63: Midterms
(A/N Extra chapter again. Extra power stones, please.)
(Ryoto's pov)
Two weeks have passed, and midterms exams are slowly approaching. Bitch-sensei was gradually integrated into the school, and her lesson was popular among a few. She even went over sex education, which by the way, wasn't all that helpful, for now at least. She said that we'll go over sex positions in the future and bring orgasm to your partner. It will be interesting, but she does realize that she is teaching middle school students, right?
To help us study, Koro-sensei duplicated himself thanks to his super speed and taught us 'individually'. Everyone would tackle their weakest subjects. For me, it would be Chemistry and Biology, which is combined into Science here. Even if it's middle school level, I suck at them. The only thing I know is that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. I'll still probably pass but come on, these eyes didn't come with perfect memory.
Karma tried to stab Koro-sensei in the head during the lesson, distorting all of his clones in the process. I followed this by attacking the other side of the head. Our teacher's head looked like an hourglass.
We also had a visitor. It was, of course, Kunugigaoka private school, board chairman Gakuho Asano. He is a creep and intelligent one at that, the worst kind. He can force most people to do what he wants, and they would think that they are doing it of their own will.
His idea is that class E needs to be at the bottom so the rest of the students at his school can flourish. By being scared to be in the 'END' class, they would try harder to improve, making them stronger in the process. Pretty fucked up but effective. Not for the students in class E, of course. It's just a small sacrifice for the greater good. Dumbledore would be proud, no, scratch that. He would be taking lessons from the chairman of this school.
At first, Koro-sensei was nervous around him as technically he was being employed by him. He even made him a tea.
Gakuho came to our school building that is not visited by anyone from the main one just to tell Koro-sensei Thatcher can't allow students of this class to overcome anyone in this school. He then threw a wired puzzle at Koro-sensei and told him to solve it one second... Koro-sensei got tangled up in the puzzle as he doesn't have patience for them.
Gakuho: "In this world... there are problems which cannot be solved through speed."
That was what the chairman wanted to say to Koro-sensei. Even if he could dodge any assassination attempt, he wouldn't be able to help class E.
These words only fired up Koro-sensei as he doubled his effort into teaching us the next day. Unfortunately, he was the only one with enthusiasm. Most of the class gave up the idea of scoring well on the test as they are just class E.
Our teacher was disappointed and showed X on his face saying that we are not qualified to be assassins.
He went outside preparing some stuff and asked Irina and Karasuma about planning. He wanted to teach us that planning ahead was necessary as the first plan does not always work out.
The class was fixated on killing Koro-sensei that they ultimately gave up on the future, hoping that they would be fine with the reward money. It was not a healthy way of thinking. He reprimanded us for that, even though I'm innocent this time.
Koro-sensei: "Yuuki-kun, no eating candies during lessons."
I managed to bribe him with a lollipop. At first, he didn't want to take it, but when he saw that you could win an interview with an AV actress, he took it in a hurry and didn't say anything about my newly acquired habit. Of course, it was fake, but he didn't need to know about that.
At the end of May, the test began, and it was more complex than it should be... for normal people. I aced Mathematics, Japanese and English. Thanks to my bad scores in Science and Social studies, I barely got into the top 50. Karma was pouting that at a lot that day and days to come, too, in fact. He didn't let it go. Even though I beat him in English and Japanese, the difference between our points in these subjects was minuscule while he beat me thoroughly in Science and Social studies. We tied in math at 100.
Even though Karma was enjoying himself, being superior to me in the test, my mood didn't drop one beat. Why? Because I had a significant breakthrough in my fire bending. I could generate blue flames. I could also change it back to orange. Still, no lighting, though, but it's okay. With this, my fire attacks are more powerful.
I also discovered that I have bigger talent in fire bending. It didn't mean that I didn't train water bending either. I could even heal a bit with my water bending.
My eyes helped a lot in this as I needed to redirect energy paths or chi throughout the body using water as a catalyst. I don't know about chi all that much, but seeing aura helped a bit. I discovered that when I came across an injured animal one time in the woods. I tried to heal him as he didn't have enough energy to run away from me. I felt little bad for using him as my test subject, but he would die without my help, so the outcome was good even if my intention weren't the purest.
Back into the topic.
If I focused really hard on the aura in front of me, I could see small pathways, which I assumed were energy paths, so I guided water there and focused on healing the wound. I cooled the body around the injury to slow down the bleeding and tried to close the wound. I could see that it was working because the water started glowing slightly. The ending could only heal it a little but enough for him to survive for now.
I would like to train this skill more, but there aren't enough opportunities. I can't go to the hospital and just start healing here and there. I mean, I could, but it would create more problems than it's worth it. I'll need to think about it later. Why later? Because today we are going on a trip to Kyoto.
