The club time had just ended, and Junichi decided to stop practicing now, he still had a shift to do, since there wasn't any separate changing room for boys, he was changing his clothes in the toilet.
He couldn't anything about it, well there is but there is no way he would ask them to share a changing room, first of all not all of the girls accepted him as one of them, and second It would destroy his reputation in this club, there is just some things that you are forbidden to say no matter what.
Since he could read anyone thoughts, there is just information that he bound to know there is a group of girls in the swimming club that are very hostile to him even though he didn't do anything to them, they were always watching his actions and if he ever did a mistake, they would use it an excuse convince everyone to kick him out of the club.
If he was a normal student he would have long ago gotten kicked, but he wasn't the only reason why he hadn't made a move because they didn't do any harm to him, at least for now but when that time comes…
They are the ones that are going to be crushed, his mind-reading wasn't some kind of joke at all, he knows everyone secrets, and he wouldn't hesitate to use it against them in the future if they harm him, he wasn't an unreasonable person, he wouldn't use those dirt to blackmail them, he still has his morals.
Unless necessary, he didn't want to use them ever, sometimes there are just things that you shouldn't know, but he is an exception to that.
Despite these girls' innocent looks, some of them are dirtier than a piece of garbage and he wouldn't do anything to provoke them unless they provoke him.
He also got information about Hibiki, and it surprised him, it wasn't anything bad in fact amongst her peers, while she looks strict and all without a doubt she was the purest, this was very surprising and it also made him a bit happy for some reason.
He had to admit that, during those few days, his affection toward her was continuously growing, the more he got to know her, the more he felt like falling in love with her. She was different from the rest.
She was honest, sometimes cute and the most attractive part of her is, she is genuinely worried for him whenever he gets hurt, it has happened twice so far.
To this world that he treated like a game, he started to look at it differently, he saw this world as reality even for a little.
--
He had finished changing his trunks to his school uniform, he left the toilet and went to the pool, before he left school, he had to say goodbye.
"Everyone, good work I'll be going first see you tomorrow then."
"You too, take care Tachibana-kun/san!"
They all replied, including those who didn't like him, even if they didn't like him, since he respected them, they too have to give him respect, that's how it works.
After that, he went straight outside the school, but along his way, he met Kaoru waiting for him at the school gate, this wasn't surprising since this wasn't the first time she did this.
"Sorry, did I make you wait?"
Kaoru shook her head and said.
"No, I just got here so let's go?"
Here is it, that typical answer of someone who obviously waited for a long time.
"Sure, let's go."
Then both of them were talking while on their way to their workplace, within those few days Kaoru's affection was growing a bit slower, the higher it goes the harder it would grow, and currently her stats.
Name: Tanamachi Kaoru
Affection:89% (Love?)
Mood: Happy/Nervous/Expectant/Excited
Current thoughts: Ahhhh...what is happening to me, why am I nervous whenever I talk to him now? I'm also happy whenever I see him….ugh...he is also becoming more good-looking as the time pass….ahhhh! What should I do?! I can't keep my cool around him!
For your information, he didn't do anything to make it grow, he just talked normally but for some reason, it kept growing. If just talking with her makes her happy, he wondered if he flirted with her for real, who knows what would happen.
Finally, both of them arrived at the family restaurant, after that they quickly changed their uniform and started working. Within just a few days he became popular with the regulars of the shop because they didn't even need to ask him what they wanted to order, he just guessed them.
Even though It's the case, they didn't suspect him to have the ability to read the mind, instead, they thought that he was just good at guessing, because of his ability he became popular with both employees and customers since he was reliable.
Even the owner's daughter thought of promoting him, but couldn't since he was a student and couldn't be a full-time, she could only regret that he was just a student, there is nothing she could do about it, If possible she wanted to rope him, that was talent it wasn't something that could be seen anywhere!
If Junichi were to know this, he would laugh his ass off, talent? No, he was cheating in life! He was a bugged existence from the moment he got this dating system.
As usual, he was working flawlessly, taking the order of the customers and if a fellow waiter makes a mistake, he would cover them, that is one of the reasons why he was admired by his peers.
While he was working earnestly, someone was looking at him with envy and hatred. It was the slut woman Chijo, she hated him from the moment he rejected her attempt. Slowly it became hatred and jealousy.
"Tsk, that piece of garbage, who does he think that he is all good? Why was he popular in the first place? It should be me!"
The more she thought of it, the more jealous she became, and suddenly an evil idea appeared in her mind, then her face formed a disgusting grin, after that she called someone on her phone.
"Babe~! Can please help me with something~?"
---
It was already late, and his shift already ended. Currently, he was changing his work outfit with his school uniform, after changing he was waiting for Kaoru to finish, then his employer suddenly asked him to garbage outside the restaurant, it wasn't a big deal so he did the job.
Outside the restaurant,
He already threw the garbage into the trash bin, he clapped his hands so that the dust would be cleared.
"Alright, done now time to go back,"
As he turned around, he saw 5 people that looked like thugs blocking his way, he suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"This is him right?"
"Yeah, he looks the same as in the picture."
"Let's finish it fast."
"No, hard feelings."
Even without reading their thoughts, he knew that they were not here to be friends with him, with his strength there was no way he could win. Instead of trying to be a brave fool, he dashed in the opposite direction without hesitation.
"HEY! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY! CATCH HIM!"
All of them started to chase him, and he was running with everything he got!
However, in the middle of running, suddenly a single person was waiting for him in the direction he was running into, he didn't have any time to think, he immediately deems that person to be an enemy, the way was too narrow, he couldn't get out unless he takes that person blocking the way.
Even though he doesn't have any experience in fighting, he wasn't just going to stop and do nothing, without hesitation, he tackled the person with everything he got, hoping that it would make him fall to the ground, but instead, the person he tackled didn't even flinch, as he tackled him.
"Damn, that hurts. It wasn't a bad tackle but it wasn't enough!"
Junichi was internally screaming, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What should I do now?! This guy is strong!'
But before he could think of anything, the guy didn't give any space to think and he was kicked right in front of his gut!
"Cough- cough-"
His stomach was in extreme pain, he was having a hard time breathing, because of that his knees fell to the ground, then the guy grabbed his hair, and Junichi couldn't help but groan.
"Well, do you know I am doing this to you?"
The guys that were chasing Junichi finally caught up with him.
"Damn, that kid is fast!"
"Yeah, if you didn't predict this leader probably he would have gotten away."
"Shut your mouths, I'm asking him a question."
The leader shifted his attention back to him and continued.
"Do you want to know?"
Junichi was bearing an extreme pain in his stomach, instead of replying he read his thoughts and immediately got to know the reason why, after knowing he became extremely angry.
'Chijo Onna! I swear If I ever get out of this situation. I will make you and your fucking boyfriend lives a living hell!'
His anger was rising, the more he thought about that bitch! He didn't provoke her yet, she did this to him!
"Hey, are you deaf?! I'm asking you a question!"
The leader of the group of thugs or Chijo's boyfriend got annoyed by Junichim and slapped him in the face.
Slap~!
"I'm asking you a damn question, do you want to know what?"
"F…."
"F? What?"
"Fuck you bitch!"
Junichi shouted at him and spit his saliva on his face, this action made Chijo's boyfriend very angry, instantly he punched Junichi right on his face!
"Fucking pest! How dare you spit at me!"
Chijo's boyfriend keeps punching Junichi's face without stopping!
Junichi could barely remain conscious, and the guys that chased after him couldn't help but become pale as they saw this scene, even though they are thugs they weren't monsters they have emotions.
"H-hey, I think you should stop punching him, he would die you know!"
"T-that's right, you should calm down, leader!"
"Shut up coward! Like I care if this pest dies!"
Choji's boyfriend continued punching Junichi with all of his strength, and suddenly a girl's shout resounded not far away from their location.
"Officer there they are! PLEASE HELP JUNICHI!"
The police were running toward their location, then Choji's boyfriend and the thugs instantly ran away from the place.
"Run! It's the police!"
They were running for their lives.
After the thugs left, the girl who called the police approached Junichi's location instantly.
"Junichi! JUNICHI! Please, you're alive right?! Sob*"
He could barely hear anything, all he could hear was an unclear voice of a girl calling out for his name, he looked at her face and thought. 'Kaoru?'
