Please stop staring at me. Even though I was already used to it, this somehow feels really different…
"Why are they looking at him like that Dad?" said the girl.
"You see, I've done my research and it seems that Ayato Kusarage is also known as Null."
Wait, how did he know that? Or rather, there was actually information about me? The whole classroom went quiet when he said that. They were all looking at me once again. What was it now?
"So that explains it. He's that Null."
"Yep. Here, look at this. [Bind],"
Chains started to head for me, but before it even got within 5 meters, it disappeared. I learned that the limit to my [Nullification] is within 5 meters. Also, due to my training, I can now use it without even touching the skill itself. Side note, I didn't wear the glove anymore since I don't feel that conscious about the appearance of my hand and I could now control the skill.
"He.. actually nullified your skill…" said the girl in awe.
"That's right. He did this with his battle with Luke as well. Not the official one."
Damnit, they still remember that? That was so embarrassing! I want to forget me at that time. Thinking irrationally, trying to kill someone. It was like I was trying to be edgy or something! I looked at the girl again, but she was still smiling. She's not afraid? I mean, I almost killed a guy. The only people I could call my friends at this school are Hina, Nana, and Shiina. No one ever tried to call out to me, except those three, after the Luke incident.
Oh, speaking of Luke. He was expelled due to his misconduct last week. He was still as arrogant as ever, but he definitely avoided me. He won't even dare get close to one of the three girls.
The girl walked over to me. I guess it's actually rude to keep referring to her as just 'girl'. I do know her name after all.
"Nice to meet you Miss Lucy. My name is Ayato Kusarage." I said with a smile.
"Please don't add 'Miss'. Anyways, I know you already know my name, but allow me to introduce myself once more, I am Lucy Tachibana and I want to be your friend," she said with a smile as well. Wah, another beautiful smile.
"Likewise," I said as I reached out my hand.
We shook hands while I could feel the three girls staring daggers at me. It hurts me emotionally how they don't trust me when it comes to girls. It feels like I'm being accused as a husband cheating on his wives. I let go off her hand with a long sigh.
"Heeh, you got a harem?" she said jokingly.
"You could say it like that." I said shyly. True, I have fallen for the other two, but I can't bring myself to admit it. Especially since polygamy isn't allowed in this world. At least if you're not a high-class citizen.
"Lucy, class is about to start!"
Said Mr. Julius while sounding a little annoyed. He must not want his daughter talking to me. What a kind father he is, unlike mine. Whoops, got a bit out of topic there.
"Okay! Let's talk again at lunch okay?"
I nodded as she went to Nana's side. Oh right, only the end of the classroom has empty seats. Class-C isn't actually complete unlike the other Classes. I'm actually surprised that Lucy isn't in Class-A considering she's the daughter of the S-Rank Julius Tachibana. Maybe he just wanted to watch over her actually.
---
Classes passed by quickly and we were now in the usual spot for lunch. Only this time, Lucy was with us.
"Hey, want me to tell you Ayato's embarrassing memories?" said Nana.
"Hey, wait! What do you think you're doing?!"
"It's okay Ayato."
"Yeah, just let her say all of it."
Even you two?! And please stop laughing this off! I was helpless in this situation.
Come to think of it, I haven't even scanned Nana's memories yet. Or have I? I can't remember. I have poor memory after all. They kept on talking about my embarrassing past so I decided to quickly finish my food and go back to the room.
Once I got back, it was empty. Well, that much was expected. It was still lunch after all. I took my seat and started fiddling with my [Blue Flames] skill. I just made a small one at the tip of my right pointer finger. Oh by the way, the skills that I get out of nowhere and the skills I create all cost only 1 mp. The reason for this is because all of them are max right off the bat. Pretty sure this makes me more powerful than I have any right to be.
"Wow, is that the [Blue Flames] you were talking about?"
I hadn't noticed when Hina entered the room. Sometimes this weirds me out. Like that time when I was in the bathtub and then she suddenly jumped in without making a sound when she came in. If she were an enemy, she would be extremely dangerous.
"Yep, this is it."
I said just before extinguishing the flames. It's too dangerous if she suddenly says she wants to touch it or take a closer look. She let out a small "Aww," sound to make it seem she was disappointed. Cute.
"So? Why are you the only one here?" I asked Hina. She was eating with the others, so I was wondering why she wasn't with them.
"I finished my food first."
"Oh, right~ You're a glutton when it comes to food."
"What?"
She pinched my cheeks and stretched them so much that I thought they were about to be ripped apart. I could still feel pain... good. I thought that I was becoming a monster because of my strength.
"I'm sowwy."
"Then go on a date with me."
"When?"
Yes! This is the perfect chance to admit my feelings for her!
"On saturday."
2 days from now huh. That's manageable.
"Alright, I'll have a date with you."
"Yay!"
---
The other three were now in the classroom. They arrived just a few minutes after Hina. They seemed happy, I'm glad. I then felt the ground shake. I looked out the window and was in shock at what I saw. The was a giant portal, and under that portal.
"What the hell is that?" I muttered in fright.
"Hm? What do you… Oh God, what is that thing doing here!"
It was a giant monster that looked like a golem. It was 50 meters tall and seemed to be made out of metal.
Tsk, right when everything was starting to go calm again.
I summoned my gauntlets and was about to jump out the window to head to that thing when my phone vibrated. It was a call from Mr. Aide.
//Ayato, don't try to fight that thing.//
/Why?/
//The readings of energy on that thing is higher than anything we encountered before.//
True, this thing is something else. However, I wasn't scared at all. Was this because of the [Fear Resistance] skill? I decided to use [Appraisal] on this giant.
???
Level: ???
Hp: 100,000/100,000
What the… That's a shit ton of Hp! How the hell are we supposed to beat that thing?!
Just as I was thinking that, I saw a bright yellow light from beside me. It was Nana.
"Crap!"
I took the hands of the other two and dashed out. I still had time, so I grabbed everyone and got them outside as well.
A moment later, the room was covered in a burst of light as the building shook like a violent earthquake hit it. That's her full power [Light Bullet] huh.
[Light Bullet] is one of her newly learnt skills after being taught by Miss Mito. Though, this is the first time I've actually seen it.
I looked at the status of the golem once again.
Hp: 50,000/100,000
Wah that was powerful. I don't really know the specifics of the skill, but luckily…
>Skill[Light Bullet] acquired
The skill touched me a bit since I was a bit closer to the room. I should help Nana here. Her Mp is already at 50%. She used way too much just for that blast.
I could finally show off my new full power.
