Can she for once read the room before spouting such nonsense kind of words, i can understand that she seemed kind of open, but her words together with the awkward situation that could they brought were in not my favor in the slightest .
Currently my collarbone was in the hands of an enraged vice captain, who i don't even notice when she had appeared, she was repeating the same question asking me, ' what date 'in a hysterical manner while shaking my body as if the true answer will fall down in that way, she wasn't the only one who was reacting likely so, Momochi-senpai too seemed to have lost someone dear all of a sudden and had an aggravated expression on her face .
" She just wanted me to teach her something, don't kill me over it .
Yes, i wanted him to teach me in private, that's why i decided that we should go on a date .
The hands that was beginning to loosen up, tightened more instead, i was really beginning to feel short of breath, my vision was beginning to become shaky, but i still managed to look towards Sophia and i signaled to her with my eyes that she didn't need to say anything else, but the clueless girl instead thought that i was asking for her help or something, she actually dared to say :
What is wrong with you Tokikoshi, it's not like you have never gone to a date with him before .
For some reason that seemed to anger the girl even more, if I'm able to speak currently, i would most likely have used a bit pleading words in telling here that she need to not say anymore words, but i was short of breath and my vision began to darken, so not to mention talking, in any second now i would be the one laying on the floor .
What all of you are doing, instead of train... .
Luckily my rescue came in the form of a stern voice, the Captain once again came to my rescue, or at least i thought so, but just as he was about to use his authority as the Captain, he was stared at by the current enraged Tokiko, he swallowed the rest of his words and shifted his eyes to the side with an apologetic expression on his face, that look on his face seemed to entail that he already tried his best and sadly i was now on my own, he then returned to guide the others, not paying the dying me any more attention .
But he was at least able to make Tokiko loosen her grip a little with his sudden intervene, so that allowed me enough time to breathe, it also seemed to have brought a bit of clarity back to her, she let go soon after, without even needing to see in the mirror that Sophia was currently showing to me for some reason, i was able to tell that i had quite the deep finger Marks on my neck, what made things worse was the airheaded that was the cause of all of this, didn't seem to have a single clue about all this happening because of her .
I used Heal and the Marks together with the tightening in my chest both disappeared, i was now tired mentally from standing up, so i directly sat on the ground, but i sensed someone breathing hard beside me, i turned and saw that at one point of time it seemed that Momochi-senpai thought of the same thing as well and was laying beside me, still having a lost expression on her face .
Explain now .
I heard the stern tone of voice coming from Tokiko's mouth and blurted everything directly without leaving any sort of detail, i also told her that i hadn't still even said anything about agreeing to do so, which in return earned me a glare from Sophia, i wonder if she was acting clueless on purpose and that girl was actually a genius or something, she was accurate with her timing .
Due to her last actions, Tokiko didn't completely believe me, she kept shifting her cold gaze between us two, then suddenly she looked at the already lost Momochi-senpai who was still engrossed in her own mind, i wonderd why was she staring at her too, but then she turned back to me and glared, i really was at loss of what to say or do anymore, i too was a victim in this situation, but why is she looking at like i'm the main and only culprit like that .
I prostrated myself on front of her and bent my head on the floor and directly apologized, she seeing me like this began to turn on her Mana and then she asked me the question that i was afraid of the most, she said in her still icy tone :
Do you have an idea what mistakes did you make ? .
She was asking me a question that i kept on asking myself as well, why everyone is so angry with me today for some reason, but no I didn't know the answer, but even though that was in itself an answer, my intuition was telling me to keep my answer blank, it might throw me in the fire instead of helping me out in this situation .
Luckily, she seemed to have calmed down after i kept kneeling in silence for a few minutes there, weirdly but luckily enough the airheaded girl seemed to have slipped by as i didn't hear her make anymore unnecessary comments any more, so at least that was a relief, i was able to tell that she calmed down from the fact that she had stopped urging her Mana anymore, but i still didn't dare to raise my head without her permission, wary of her anger flaring once more .
I heard the sound of her taking a long breath and hope began to rise in my heart, but i then saw a hand suddenly helping me up by the shoulders, Tokiko was the one helping me up, i believed that this meant we were good now, but just as i raised my head up, i noticed a disturbing smile on her face .
The reason to why it was disturbing, was because the smile was more of a frown than a smile, a scary smile was blasted on her face as she looked at me with squinting eyes, if i were to be asked to choose between dealing with the girl in front of me or dealing with Monsters and Metaphysicals, i will choose the latter without hesitation, she just currently looked to scary currently .
What she did next baffled me completely, she once again sighed then the scary face she had before completely crumbled and now in its place with a sad face and her beginning to massage her forehead, i waited for her to say something, anything, but she didn't, she just kept looking at me while thinking about something else .
Aah .
I suddenly heard a cry coming from right behind me, i tilted my head to see what was going on and saw that my guess from before was completely wrong, the airheaded blonde hadn't left, she was currently whispering something into Momochi-senpai's ears, that was the the reason she let out that cry just now, i noticed her face was completely red too, was she really okay, i wonder .
Ahem .
That all that she needed to do to get all my attention, i looked at her and saw that her face carried a bit of bitterness on it as she said :
I don't care what you promised her to do, but if anyone will get to have a date with you, then i will be the first, understood ? .
I wanted to get over this whole subject, already thinking of feigning losing consciousness to end this day, i don't want to strengthen my relationship with my teammates nor i no longer wanted to get closer to anyone, i now only want one thing, that is to go to my Hostel Room and sleep myself out, in hope of finally forgetting most of what happened during the day .
I unconsciously nodded my head at her words, but then i began to think deeply about what she was saying, wondering when did things develop in that direction, i already told her that it wasn't a date, seeing that she at my nod beginning to beam out of happiness, i let go of trying to dissuade her .
I wanted to have more lengthened talk with her about discussing this weird situation of ours, but she went away after saying :
Don't make me wait long for that date ? .
She returned to guide the others Kuromas and supervising them, leaving me and the two girls that seemed to be gossiping about something, at least one of them still was whispering in the ear of the other, making the blush on Momochi-senpai's face become even more intense than before .
I was curious at asking them about it, but a sudden glare to my back kept me from doing so, i began to make a bit of distance between us, but the minute i moved, i saw a silent shadow appearing instantly before me and bowing while saying a more confident tone :
Thank you for the kind words you told me yesterday, I'm really really grateful for your help .
I'm not sure of whether she regained confidence in herself by my words or the gossips that they were having earlier, but either way, i helped her back up and told her that it was my pleasure that i was of help .
The glare on my back intensified, i really want to go home, will the Captain allow me to take my leave, if i were to say that i had stomachache or should i say that my Mana is depleted as a result of our fight, yeah that could possibly work, just as i was thinking of this, i felt my arms being grabbed by someone and then that someone held into them so strongly to the point that i began to think that she had an intention of taking revenge on me by breaking my arms .
That Gorilla like girl normal strength was indeed formidable on its own accord, so no wonder those guys kept suffering in her hands, yes the one who suddenly jumped and held into my arms was none other the foreign blonde senpai, Sophia .
My back had chills running through it, jealousy was women's most dangerous weapons, the girl held me too strong that i was actually forced to open my seven Prana Gates to keep myself from getting injured, she for some reason turned her Prana on too, after a few seconds she finally let go of my arms and put a hand under her chin and began to say :
You know what, i believe we can train here without a problem .
Was she trying to piss off Tokiko or was she really just excited about finding a way that could allow her to increase her strength, i really don't have a clue of what might be going on inside that girl head, but wanting to get this over with and seeing that it was a good opportunity for me to distract her from bringing that talk about date, i nodded my head and agreed to her suggestion .
I'm still waiting for that date still, just so you are aware and i will be the first to get a date with you, so you better be ready .
" Captain, can i go home, my stomach hurts, so can I ? .
I yelled loudly trying to get out of all those awkward situations, the Captain answer caught me off guard, he said :
You have a Dark Art for healing, don't you, heal yourself with it then .
Never would i have expected him to corner me like that, i did pulled a lame excuse as well, but i won't give up getting out of here, i said :
" I used a lot of Mana in my battle with you captain, so i can't Heal myself currently, can i go now ? .
Just use your Prana, it should be able to heal you just fine, you also exempted from using your Mana for the rest of the day, so you can fight with your Prana instead .
Even though he said all of this without much of an expression on his face, i still sensed as if he was finding my situation quite amusing, he did indeed forced me into a corner, i also ran out of excuses to make, so i resigned myself to fate and just shrugged my shoulder at his response, i now had to guide her and even spar with her without being able to access my Mana, perfect just perfect .
I turned my head around to face her and saw that she was holding up her laughter, I'm now completely certain that the girl in front of me wasn't as clueless as she tried to make other believe so, what a cunning and a quite the mischievous girl she was, as i was thinking of this, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang, even though most of the guys was surprised at the fact that i brought my phone with me, some didn't react much to this .
It's quite reckless for a person to bring his phone in here with Dark Arts and Light Arts, not to mention Sword Attacks are in effect, those that witnessed the applications of my spell Paradox were the ones that accepted the scene in front of them without much of a problem, they all understood that the reason to why i brought my phone to such a dangerous place was related to the fact that I'm fully capable of fixing it without a problem .
Anyway, i accepted the call and it was a quite short one, all i heard after i answered the call was 'thank you ' , then the person on the other side of the line ended the call, not giving me even a chance to say Hello .
The sound was quite familiar in my ears, but my mind currently was incapable of processing any more things, so after the call ended, i didn't think much about it other than it being quite the strange call and that's all .
Just as i was about to began lecture the enthusiastic Sophia, i suddenly remembered something and looked to my side in a hurry, i saw Momochi-senpai still fiddling with her fingers trying to say something, but it was completely inaudible .
" Sorry Momochi-senpai, can you repeat what you were saying earlier, due to some nuisance that suddenly appeared, i wasn't able to hear you, mind repeating what you are trying to say ? .
I ignored the glaring nuisance and completely focused on the girl in front of me, i first thought that she will be timid to meet my gaze, but i was surprised to see her staring directly into my eyes as she said :
I too want to have a private tutoring session with you Ryuu-san .
