"Hey!" - I addressed him, to which he jumped up from his seat with fright. "What are you doing here alone?"
"I..." - he hesitated, not knowing what to answer. "That's what you're doing here alone!"
"I like this place so I decided to go through it." - Without hiding my goals, I said and sat down next to him. "And as I passed, I saw that you were sad here. As a Hope's Peak Teacher, I couldn't just walk through when one of my students wasn't feeling well."
"You're...a teacher?" - He looked me over from head to toe as if to say I looked too young.
"Yasuke Matsuda. Deputy class teacher of class 77-B." - I introduced myself and held out my hand to him.
"Hajime Hinata... A reserve class student." - He said and shook my hand while hesitating a bit before introducing himself.
"Well, I already figured that out." - I didn't embarrass him any further with his affiliation. "So what happened? That you're here alone with no friends."
"It's just... you know..." - he didn't know what to say.
"Are you getting beaten up by your classmates?" - I suggested.
"NO!" - he shouted. "It's just that I always wanted to go to Hope Peak."
"And that's why you enrolled in the reserve course?" - I made an assumption, realizing that he was just one of those millions of kids who wanted to get in here and just unlike the rest of us, he was lucky enough to be born rich.
"Right." - he replied somehow sadly. "But I can't find a solution."
"A solution?" - I didn't know what he was talking about. Maybe he's already been offered to become an Izuru, or... "You might get transferred to the main course if you try hard enough!"
"No." - He replied and lowered his gaze. It looks like he has been offered to become Izuru after all, and he can't find the right answer. "But why are you so interested in an insignificant student from the reserve course."
"Worthless." - is a good point to change his mind, though can anything change. They'll find another one, but you can try. "Don't talk nonsense. You have a name, family, friends, which of course I'm not sure since you're the only one sitting here, you have memories of who you are. How can you be insignificant? To me there is no difference between a person with or without talents. And believe me, I'm an 'Ultimate Physician' and I'm good at it."
"The Ultimate Physician..." - he said quietly with admiration.
"And Hajime. One more question, if you'll excuse me." - I continued to press him.
"Y-yes of course." - he stammered, also realizing that this would be the most important moment.
"What did you do to 'awaken' your talent?" - I emphasized the word awaken.
"Awaken your talent?" - he interjected.
"Yes. Or do you think that every Ultimate Apprentice wakes up at birth with the words 'Give me a wrench and go build a robot'? Or goes straight to the top of sports?" - I, of course, don't count. "Talent is not something everyone has. Talent is thousands of hours and hours of trying, invested in mastery." - I said, looking him in the face which made his eyes widen well I of course don't count since I'm a different case. And I was completely sure of what I was saying. Every one of my students got their abilities for a reason, well, except Nagito, but it's a weird thing with this mystical talent thing. "I don't know a single person who was just the best at birth. You might have predispositions, of course. But I don't think a single predisposition in the world is going to help anyone get brain surgery. Got it?"
"Y-yes." - he said in a voice I couldn't recognize.
"And you know what Hajime." - The final part. "Talent isn't everything and isn't the end-all-be-all in life for a person and its absence certainly doesn't mean you won't accomplish anything in life. For example, the current headmaster of Kirigiri-san Academy, he has no talent. Would you be able to call him nothing?"
"No." - he replied without hesitation understanding what I was getting at.
"He achieved everything through his own efforts. And the last Academy director was also untalented, but Tengan-san is a monster in human skin, despite his good-natured appearance. I don't think there are even three people in the academy who can lay a finger on him. And that's still with the assistance of age." - I wagged my finger, showing the seriousness of my words. "So, if you put in a little effort, too, instead of sitting back and crying and waiting for a super-cool Ultimate to fall out of the sky." - Not for me to say, of course, "You can be better than a lot of students with talent. Got it?"
"Yes." - he said confidently.
"Good." - I said, rising from my seat. "I have to go now, since I'm probably already expected. So don't be sad. See you later."
"А? Yeah... bye." - he said into my back.
Before I stood on one of the paths in the park, I noticed Tengan-san was already approaching from the other side. Yes... I think he's already been asked to become Izuru... And I'm sure that Tengan-san on the contrary is trying to talk him out of this project, he believes that one should achieve everything himself, but Hajime seems not to understand that because before he left he certainly sounded confident, but still saw uncertainty in his choice. Well, there's nothing else I can do about it. So, having thrown these thoughts into a distant drawer I went towards the laboratory.
Finally reached the main building of the academy, the students must have been waiting for me. I started walking up to the floor I wanted and already on it I could hear suspiciously loud noises and suspiciously from my classroom. When I opened the door, I saw a darkened room, with dark curtains, although the classroom had not yet had time to bring furniture, and in place of the broken blackboard there was a large monitor, which was not much inferior to the one I had at home. And on it was displayed game Super Smash Bros or something like that, I do not know how it is called in this world.
And already in front of this game, all the students of the 77-B class had gathered. Chiaki, Akane, Nekomaru, and Gandam were holding controllers and all but Chiaki were sitting with tense faces, while the others behind them were engrossed in the game and a smile could be seen on their faces.
"Nanami! The enemy forces are almost defeated." - Sonja said in her manner.
"What are you doing?" - I approached them from behind, causing some to look at me as if they'd been caught doing something indecent.
"Maybe you can't tell right away!" - came out Ibuki with a smile and a raised fist up. "But it's a video game!"
"Actually, you can tell." - The little one said the pure truth.
"Surprised, huh?" - said Soda, who was proud of himself. "I put this monitor together!"
"The games were brought by Nanami." - Sonya added.
"Nanami?" - I wondered. She didn't usually seem like someone who was willing to be the first to make contact.
"She invited us all to play and brought games." - Teruteru said beside me.
I don't know if you can create characters in this game, since I haven't played it in any of my lives. But Nekomaru avatar, who looked like a wind-up iron man with no arms and a disproportionately large head, ran forward at a pink beanie-wearing cat who managed to jump up and collide in a direct collision with a hamster wearing a scarf. I guess it's not hard to guess that the pink kitty was Chiaki and the hamster was Gandam.
"Let go!" - said Gandam, who had hamsters peeking out of his scarf, and started squeezing his gamepad even harder. "We'll both fall into the deep abyss!"
"Come on!" - said Nekomaru furiously, with lightning in his eyes, and began to squeeze the real Gandam, who surprisingly could even resist him.
Unlike his character, who fell into the abyss with Nekomaru avatar.
"HOORAY!" - Akane shouted cheerfully, raising her hand. She didn't win though, and her Donkey Konga avatar had 15% health when Chiaki had 85%.
"Yasuke." - Chiaki turned to me with a happy smile on her face. "You can make friends with games."
To this I had only to give her a smile and a nod of encouragement. At this point, her face was pressed against Akane prominent breasts with her arm slung over her shoulder.
"Nanami! The next round begins." - Akane said with a happy smile.
"Yup." - Chiaki confirmed and went back to the game.
But as it was now Soda, Teruteru, Fuyuhiko, and Nagito were playing some game whose name and examples I didn't know, but in general mechanics it was like Monopoly.
"Wow, this is the first time I've ever played a multiplayer game!" - Soda said to my surprise. I thought someone like him was playing games. After all, it's normal for teenagers to play computer games. It's only 2009 outside, of course, but this is, by contrast, the best time to play games. "Great! Two moves to the finish line! You're being chased by the god of poverty!" - Soda said with a sneer, looking at Nagito. "Aren't you the lucky one?"
"Ahhah." - Nagito, however, dissipated easily as he usually does. "Perhaps my luck has turned away from me."
At that moment the sound of winning sounded, and the screen showed ten dice on which each edge that was facing upward showed six dots. That seemed to be Nagito move... I should be able to do that, too, but I never checked.
"Straight to the finish line." - Nagito calmly said as if it was natural. But his calm smile on his face meant exactly that.
"Asshole!" - Soda, on the other hand, was not so calm. "How is that possible?"
"I'm sorry." - Nagito apologized for some reason. "Luck is all I have."
"He reached the finish line and discounted the God of Poverty on Soda." - Fuyuhiko said with a shocked face, but I guess that face still didn't reach the dumbfounded Teruteru
"My assets!" - Soda said with disbelief in his eyes as his play money started showing minus one nine and went off-screen.
And even I was invited to play. I sat down to play with Ibuki, shallow, and Chiaki, who ran a Mario Kart-like game.
"None of you can outrun Ibuki!" - said Ibuki earnestly, who, to my surprise, was in first place.
"I won't lose." - Chiaki said quietly and calmly overtook Ibuki.
"I was overtaken." - Ibuki was shocked by this fact.
"One more time." - I said and overtook Ibuki into second place.
"Beaten again!" - Ibuki was even more shocked. "If I use this item!" - she wanted to use the object, but at that moment she was pushed by a hamster that glistened rainbow-colored.
"I fell into the sea!!!" - she shouted sadly, and you could tell by the small girl's quiet laughter that it was on purpose.
"Finish." - I said, coming to my surprise first, having overtaken Chiaki almost at the end thanks to my luck. I guess it wasn't something I noticed, but Nagito nodded as if to confirm his hunch. Well, I think he knows more about that than anyone else.
"The second one." - Chiaki said and looked at me.
"And here I am again on the track!" - Ibuki said cheerfully as she still had a chance to compete for third place, but at that moment the rainbow hamster backed up and hit Ibuki car again. "Aaah!" - You could tell by the look on Ibuki face that she had broken down.
"One more time." - The little one said with a smile.
I got up from my seat to let the other players play while stroking the head of Chiaki who was looking at me with a smile. I regret to say that playing games doesn't make me as happy as it used to. Since it all seems so mediocre, and not just because the game industry was underdeveloped now, but because I literally live in the game. However, Chiaki as the most experienced remained for the next game, which was a copy of Bomber. Mahiru, Sonja, and Mikan joined this party.
"All the players are girls." - Mahiru remarked, showing her dislike for men.
"It's called a bachelorette party. Yes?" - I take it Sonya suggested.
"A bachelorette party is when we throw bombs?" - Mikan didn't seem to understand either. "Cool."
"Boo boo boo uub uub." - Mikan made panicked noises while throwing on all the buttons and twisting from side to side. Her in-game avatar, which threw bombs incessantly, completely showed Mikan's ineptitude.
A smile appeared on Chiaki's face, which was quickly replaced by excitement over Mikan's incessant bombs.
"Tsumiki if you set up a lot of bombs..." - Before Sonja could finish her sentence, a big explosion appeared on the screen.
"Meeeeee!" - screamed Mikan while crying, but at the same time, she kept pushing the buttons. "Excuse me!"
"М?" - At that moment I smelled a delicious smell, and right after that the door opened and Teruteru showed up with a huge pot, and a petite one who had a sarcastic expression on her face.
"Are you guys hungry?" - Teruteru said, lifting the lid of the pot, revealing what was inside. "It's Versailles varsal with meat and potato stew!"
"Versailles what?" - Mahiru broke away from the game while asking a question that popped into everyone's mind.
"Versailles..." - Teruteru wanted to start again, but was shooed away by the petite one.
"Well, it's basically a nikujaga." - The petite explained normally. "I helped a little too."
"Wow impressive." - I said looking at the full pot that was about half the size of the petite one.
"Chiaki asked Teruteru for it!" - Ibuki said cheerfully.
"Chiaki?" - I wondered at her activity today.
"We've been busy fixing up the classroom, helping Akane and Nekomaru and haven't been able to eat properly." - Peko explained to me. "That's what she said."
"Sometimes I get so immersed in games that I forget to eat." - Opined Chiaki with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Nanami!" - Sonja said cheerfully and hugged Chiaki from behind.
At that moment, a monstrous sound was heard throughout the room. It was as if some monster had turned its attention to our class. And it even felt like the whole class was shaking, as if an earthquake had started.
"It can't be!" - Gandam said with fear on his face. "The demon king who lurks in the depths of the nine circles of Hell has returned?"
"It was her stomach that rumbled." - Said Nekomaru calmly, lifting Akane up by her shirk, who was literally drooling in a waterfall of drool.
"You?" - Teruteru wondered. "I've made plenty. Eat as much as you like!"
"Haaaaah!" - At that moment Akane heard the decisive words for herself and exploded with energy.
So, we didn't keep her long, or it could have had unpleasant consequences. After arranging the tatami in a circle, Teruteru and I started to distribute food and cutlery to everyone and took our seats. It's not customary in my family, is it, with me and ------? To wish a good appetite, since we do it automatically on a mental level, but I think for the sake of class cohesion we should do something like.
"Okay. Does everyone have everything?" - I made sure, just in case. "Then put your hands together." - I put my hands together and the rest of the students repeated after me.
"Bon appétit!" - surprisingly everyone said in sync.
"Refills for me!" - Not even a second passed before Akane managed to shove a portion into herself.
"Quick!" - Dazed Teruteru said, but of course he had nothing else to do.
"Ahem!" - made a sound of surprise to Chiaki's right, and there was a look of happiness on her face. "Not bad." - she said calmly.
"But you looked pleased!" - Teruteru exclaimed indignantly, with which I was in complete agreement.
"More for me!" - Akane did not relent.
"Cut down on your appetite." - Teruteru face showed drops of sweat from disbelief at what was going on.
"That's great! My ears are even falling off!" - Sonja said something while touching her ear as confirmation of his words.
"So close! Just a little bit and!" - came out, Soda who touched his index fingers to his cheeks.
"Hagah." - emitted a light half moan half laugh Nagito, and tears came from his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" - Asked the logical question Ultimate Impostor.
"I finally found it. A fragment of hope." - ...
"Ah, I see." - said the Ultimate Impostor, who seemed to agree with the lunatic.
Not waiting any longer, I too tasted the portion of food they gave me. It was really delicious. True, there was one unpleasant moment that I felt. After I finished chewing and swallowed the portion without spitting it out because of Teruteru labors, I opened my mouth.
"Teruteru." - I said quietly as I looked at him standing next to the crate from which he pulled the plates.
"Yes Yasuke-san!" - he answered happily.
"I'll castrate you if you're the one who put the aphrodisiac in the soup." - I didn't bother to be ceremonious.
After my little remark, all the chewing stopped and everyone looked at Teruteru and me with incomprehension. And the weird thing about this situation was that I didn't think he added it one bit. He's an Ultimate Chef after all, it would be a shame for him personally to add something to his food. I cast a glance at the petite one who was saying something about helping with the cooking. Knowing her temper and the fact that she averted her gaze kind of gave her away completely.
"Why?" - he didn't understand. "I didn't add anything to Yasuke-san soup. What?!" - he exclaimed as he opened the box and looked at what was inside. "One of my soups is missing!"
"You mean this one?" - The little girl didn't have anything else to hide.
"Isn't that..." - he looked at me, who was eating another spoonful with excitement.
At that moment there was the sound of falling dishes, and Akane, who had dropped the dishes, fell to the floor twitching slightly.
"What is this..." - she said quietly.
"What's wrong with you?" - Worried for his sidekick Nekomaru tried to pick her up.
"S-stop..." - Akane let out a pitiful moan and looked away, her face blushing and her whole face and body covered in droplets of sweat. There was an air of excitement all around her. "Don't touch me."
To this, Nekomaru only took his hands away from her and put them out in a protective gesture. Which allowed us to see an extremely arousing scene in which Akane was all mocking sweat and unsteady breathing making vulgar noises and causing her huge bust to rise and fall in time with her breathing.
"Midai... Old man." - Akane said passionately and began to reach for the lips of Nekomaru, who did the same.
And it could have ended with something indecent right there, but my hand that rested on Nekomaru lips pushed his body away from each other. I would have pushed Akane away, who immediately switched to me and started driving her breasts down my legs, and my hand went to my abs, but in my other hand was a plate of food that I planned to finish eating after all. I began to look around for something else that might have gotten me imprisoned.
Gandam and Ultimate Impostor were coping normally and only knelt down with their heads down to the floor and their hands clenched on the floor to restrain themselves, and though no... Ultimate Impostor seemed to pass out. It was only Gandam who could keep himself in check. Not like Soda, who was repeating Gandam pose, but unlike him was twirling his ass in all directions in hopes of... Of what?
"My body's on fire!" - Ibuki walked beside me with an unsteady gait, but she couldn't walk much further and fell to her knees. There was an air of excitement around her, too, but more childlike. "My heart for love is ready to charge."
"Not selfies." - Mahiru whispered, spreading her legs in a slightly unseemly manner and holding her photo pirate above her while pulling back part of her shirt causing some of her small breasts to be visible. There was a slight blush on her face, which made it look like she was doing something indecent. There was still an air of excitement flying around her. "The focus is going to get blurry..."
"Shallow." - I said and popped another bite into my mouth while feeling someone's hand begin to stretch the buttons on my shirt, and also turned my attention to Chiaki who pressed her trembling hands to her body and watched without blinking at my free striptease "What does that mean?"
"Nothing!" - she said with a devil-may-care face. "I just mixed the soup from this bottle with the nikujaga."
"Of all the others, you used my aero-soup, which is full of aphrodisiacs!" - said Teruteru with happiness on his face and with his legs trembling at and all over his body while keeping both of his hands on his groin and trying to cover something with his knees.
"What? Is this such a blow to you Hanamura?" - she looked at me wryly with her shirt unbuttoned. "After all, you know you won't get anything with our handsome boy."
At that moment Teruteru could no longer restrain himself with his hands and something shot out of the place he was covering with his hands. He began to move backward while putting his heel too far up. Gunshot Gunshot Gunshot. He fell to the floor.
"Petty. Too much energy in the body?" - I said, looking at Chiaki who was already struggling to hold herself together and leaned against the wall, breathing deeply and panting out, causing her chest to start bouncing too, and her face to have even more blush and the same unblinking look on her face, staring at me. "Sounds like you want to run a few dozen laps around the academy. Am I right?"
"What?" - The little one shouted indignantly. "In fact, why do you look normal and it doesn't work on you?"
"None of the poisons known to man will work on me." - I wasn't just pumping up my venom resistance. It certainly wasn't pleasant, but I was able to get it up to its maximum level. "And you really think an aphrodisiac will work on me."
"Hold your own... My right hand." - Gandam said insistently, sitting on one knee and holding his right hand. There was indeed some kind of pink glow around it, but it didn't cover all of him, thank God, it was sinking to the floor from which his hamsters seemed to be exposed to this aura.
"I... Also... Ah ah ah ah." - Sonja groaned, dropping to her knees and keeping her hands on the ground and still only a faint blush. Otherwise, she looked good. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Sonja-san me too!" - said Soda, who had clearly made up his mind about something, rising from his knees and beginning to walk toward Sonya, while beginning to stretch out his jumpsuit. Droplets of sweat were also visible on his face.
I was about to break free from the hands that were wandering over my body while simultaneously sloppily stretching my last button and stop him, but Fuyuhiko managed to do it first and rushed over to cut him off, taking Soda by the arms.
"Stop it!" - Fuyuhiko said and began to button up Soda's overalls again. He didn't look good himself, though, and sweat covered his whole face.
"Let go." - Soda said while trying to unbutton his jumpsuit further, which, however, was prevented by the hand of Fuyuhiko, who was clearly stronger. "I'll help Sona-san..."
"And you call yourself a man..." - Fuyuhiko said with a gasp.
"Sonja-san." - Lightning down.
"I won't allow it." - Lightning up.
"Fuyuhiko." - I didn't miss this moment, but I have to say Fuyuhiko impressed me. "Take all the heat!"
"Ahem." - He didn't say anything back, though he obviously heard it, and tried to button up Soda's jumpsuit again.
At that moment Peko, who was lying on the floor and saw Fuyuhiko situation, became active. She was trembling all over, and heavy breaths were coming from her mouth, and she was sweating.
"Young master..." - she said, struggling to get up. "I must help him!"
She tried to take a single step, but at that moment Mikan jumped on her, hugging her and hugging her as tightly as possible.
"Pekoyama. Lend me your sword..." - Mikan said embarrassedly, with a blush on her cheeks and all that sweat, while gently running her palm along the entire length of the sword stopping at the ball-shaped end and running her hand over it. At the same time, she took her gaze from it.
"Why?" - Peko didn't understand.
"The tip..." - she muttered, and once more she ran her palm gently along the entire length, paying particular attention to the globular end, while bringing her face close to it and breathing deeply on it. "The tip of the sword... Just the tip." - At the same time Mikan's knee was trying to get through the barricade of Peko's knees to her innermost place. And Peko's defense wasn't very successful, judging by Mikan's trembling legs and the deepening of her knee.
"Hope... hope gives amazing feelings." - said Nagito who, sprawled against the wall as if he were on the beach while relaxing his tie to the max, and his face still showed the same blush along with sweat that everyone else was wearing, but unlike the others his pupils were twitching.
"Dude..." - I said a little grudgingly. The rest of us here are sticking it to the girls, and he seems to be cumming with hope. We should take him to a shrink. It's definitely not normal, and I'm not going to work with it.
"Meat... Such good meat..." - Akane threw off my shirt and was already reaching for my belt.
But as much as I'd like to go on. I'm going to get locked up for what, if anything, happens here. So, picking up the fallen shirt while putting the plate on the floor I threw the shirt over Akane face who couldn't get it off her face because of her condition and was still breathing in and out deeply which even my shirt couldn't hide.
"Hahahahahaha!!!" - The little one was clearly happy with her stunt. "I'm so glad! Good thing I didn't eat that nasty nikujaga!"
"Then what about my daikon?" - Mumbled Teruteru, who got up from the ground and had already stopped restraining himself.
"Hanamura?" - was shocked by the petite one.
"Then what about DAIKON!!!" - Teruteru said simply with a monstrous aura of arousal around his body, with his face filled with rage and his eyes completely covered by an aura of lust... Literally.
"Noooooo!!!" - screamed the petite one, falling to the ground and moving as far away from Teruteru as possible, but she was interrupted by the wall she was against.
"YOU HAVE AWAKENED LUST IN ME!!!" - Teruteru did not relent and began to move closer to the fallen petite. "NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!!!"
"P-help!" - said the petite with a blush from what was going on, which, however, did not stop Teruteru confident footsteps. "You can lick my shoes!"
Without further intimidating the petite as a sign of her punishment, well part of the punishment I hastened to interrupt their duet.
"I INTEND TO CLIMB HIGHER!!!" - Still talking fiercely to Teruteru.
But before I could say anything else. He got an uppercut right in the jaw.
"Heavenly dragon fist!" - Chiaki used the punch from the game. She left her fist raised in the air.
"Taylor Swift..." - Teruteru said flying through the air.
"Don't touch...my classmate." - Said Chiaki coolly.
"I'm your classmate too." - And not a guilty one at that.
I don't think it was easy for her, though, as she started to lose consciousness. So before she could fall to the floor I picked her up in my princess-like arms and leaned her into my head chest.
"You're gorgeous Chiaki." - I complimented her, causing her face to blush, but no longer from the aphrodisiac. After that she was completely unconscious.
Once again, after looking around the class, I realized that I was going to have a lot of problems and explanations. At least there was enough room in the academy's medical room for everyone to fit in there. When I left the classroom, I called Seiko to bring pills that could relieve the effect and went to the next classroom to make sure that I would have to drag everyone by myself.
I went back to the classroom and told Fuyuhiko to follow me along with Soda, as well as Gandam, who would help Shona, Mahiro who had trouble lifting Ibuki, Nekomaru who dragged Teruteru, and Nagito who had trouble but was able to lift Ultimate Impostor by himself, Peko, who was able to carry Mikan even though she was groaning, the little one who could move by herself, Akane who followed me and me with Chiaki in my arms quickly went down to the medical room where Seiko and the dazed doctors were already waiting.
It was good that no one asked why I was without my shirt.
