"You five. Let's go somewhere else..." Fuutarou said and started walking. The students who had been blocking his path quickly moved away from him.
The Quints looked at each other. Hesitating to follow him. But because they're the main cause of the commotion, they quickly followed him. The path closed as the students went near them and asked them questions.
Wondering why he felt no one was behind him, he took a look. With just one look from him, the path opened up once again. The Quintuplets followed Fuutarou.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
They arrived at the library. Unlike earlier, commotion would not happen here since the librarian was very strict. This was also the best place for them because this would technically be the start of Fuutarou's tutoring.
The six of them sat at the table. Ichika was comforting Itsuki. Nino was looking at him warily. Not because she was ungrateful for what he did, but rather because Fuutarou was a real delinquent. She had also heard rumors about a certain student, but she hadn't expected that the guy who helped her and her sister was the same person the rumors were talking about.
Miku looked at him with gratitude. Yotsuba acted bravely. Itsuki hid behind Ichika. Fuutarou looked at them then opened his mouth to speak.
"My name is Uesugi Fuutarou and I'll be your tutor starting today. Tell me your names and ask a question.
"My name is Nakano Ichika! I have never heard of this before. When did dad hire you?" She looked at him while asking. It seemed as if she was observing him, making sure he wasn't lying or trying to do something bad to her and her sisters.
"Your father officially hired me yesterday."
"Mine's Nakano Yotsuba! When are you going to teach us?"
"I can start after class or tomorrow."
"Can you even teach us?" A girl with butterfly ribbons asked.
"Nino!" A girl with headphones said.
"What? Look at him! He looks like a real delinquent! Don't tell me that's a good thing!" Nino said.
"I'm sure I can teach."
"Oh? What makes you so sure?"
"I ca– *Bell rings* –. We'll continue this later."
Fuutarou grabbed his bag and walked to his classroom. The Quints did the same and left. They parted ways, and Itsuki was behind Fuutarou. Fuutarou didn't question it because he knew that Itsuki was his classmate. Yesterday was also the day Itsuki introduced herself.
The teacher entered the room and surprised everyone by giving them an exam. Immediately, everyone began answering it. Fuutarou finished quickly. He also noticed Itsuki, who was struggling. However, he did not help her because cheating is intolerable. Additionally, this serves as a way for him to gauge her knowledge so he can easily teach her what she lacks.
Time passed and it was time to go home. However, Fuutarou went to the library expecting his students. He saw four of them waiting for him and the one missing was the girl with butterfly ribbons. Fuutarou already expected that only three or even two of them would attend.
"Where's your sister?"
"She already left with her friends." Itsuki replied.
"I'm going to the toilet for a bit." Fuutarou said.
"Huh? Okay."
Fuutarou left and went to the restroom. He performed a few hand seals, causing smoke to appear beside him. As the smoke cleared, a man with the same appearance as him appeared. The clones don't have different personalities because the clones and Fuutarou are connected through a hive mind. The clone quickly disappeared at an incredible speed. Fuutarou went out of the bathroom and went to the library.
"Let's start."

-Nino Pov-
What's with that guy? I know he saved us and I'm thankful for that, but a guy like him, teaching?
"Nino, what's wrong? You've had this troubled expression. Are you thinking about something? Or someone~?"
"What?! No!"
Me and him? I admit he's handsome and he's my type– but he's a real delinquent! I don't want to get involved with him. I'll protect my sisters from him!
"If you say so. Nino, we're here!"
Now that we're here, I'll just sing as much as I want.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-??? Pov-
"Boss, I can see the target. But there's a problem."
-What is it?-
"There's only one of them."
-That's fine. I could still use her.-
"Alright." The man cut the call, "You heard the boss."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-??? Pov-
"I'll get the company, Maruo. And that's not the only thing I'll get from you." The man said as he continue to drink wine on the glass.
"Boss are you alright? You're talking to yourself again."
"You better shut up or you won't be seeing the sun tomorrow." He threatened his subordinate while glancing at him.
"Sorry boss, won't happen again." The subordinate said while doing a dogeza.
"It better be the last." The man said nothing and removed his gaze from him before continuing to sip from the wine glass.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Fuutarou's Clone Pov-
I saw Nino enter a building, so I came here as a precaution. Since the other me at school was able to protect the others, I had to split myself up and be somewhere else.
Hm? What's those guys approaching the building Nino went in. Are those guys... Already? It's the first day I thought I would wait a few more days before they try to kidnap one of them.
I should go inside. Now, how to dispose them. Killing them inside is a bad idea. How about a car accident? Let's see... They have a van. I could use that.
Time to go in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Fuutarou whose at school.
Fuutarou wasn't having a hard time teaching four of the Quints. Well actually three because Ichika's sleeping. And she just wouldn't wake up. She's breathing and that's a good thing.
The three of them asks him a lot of questions whether it's school related or personal, Fuutarou only answers the school related questions. The three would pout at him but he wouldn't budge. Leaving them no choice but to continue studying.
