The next day at school, the students filed into the gymnasium for their first class: Physical Education with Kakashi. The silver-haired teacher, his one visible eye filled with determination, split the class into four teams of five, assigning them to play volleyball on two separate courts. He made sure to keep the sisters together on one team, pitting them against Orion for a bit of friendly competition.

On Orion's team, he found himself partnered with Hinata Hyuga, Winry Rockbell, Orihime Inoue, and Saeko Busujima. Meanwhile, Aurora and Luna were joined by Levy McGarden, Mikasa Ackerman, and Ririchiyo Shirakiin on their team. The other students were divided among the remaining two teams, who would play on the other court.

As the game began, it was clear that the girls were not only focused on winning but also on using the opportunity to playfully flirt with Orion. They would find ways to "accidentally" brush against him or get a little too close during their attempts to spike the ball.

When the girls scored a point, they started a "tradition" of slapping Orion's buttocks as a form of celebration. Some of them even encouraged him to join in on the slaps, and being a good sport, Orion obliged with a smirk. He wasn't one to be easily flustered or shy away from such situations. In fact, he thrived on them, always looking for a chance to repay any attention with his own suave charm.

The game continued at a fast pace, with both teams showing impressive skill and athleticism. Despite the distractions, Orion managed to keep his focus on the game, diving and leaping to make spectacular saves and score points for his team. He couldn't help but enjoy the challenge and the playful banter between him and the girls.

In one particularly intense play, Hinata served the ball with a powerful underhand, sending it soaring across the net. Luna, agile and quick, managed to bump the ball upward, setting it perfectly for Aurora to deliver a powerful spike. However, Orion, anticipating the move, leaped into the air, blocking the ball and sending it back over the net for a point.

As his feet hit the ground, Winry rushed over, grinning from ear to ear, and slapped his buttocks in celebration. "Nice block, Orion!" she exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Thanks, Winry," he replied, a sly smile playing on his lips. "But don't think I won't return the favor."

As the game wore on, the other girls on his team continued to flirt and playfully tease him, using their proximity on the court to their advantage. But Orion remained unflustered, always ready with a quick retort or witty comment. If they wanted to make him blush, they'd have to try a lot harder.

Eventually, after a fierce back-and-forth battle, Orion's team emerged victorious, winning the game by a narrow margin. As they congratulated each other and shook hands with the opposing team, Orion couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie and shared joy with his classmates.

As they walked towards the showers, sweaty and exhausted, the girls continued to flirt and tease him, but Orion remained as confident as ever.

'They really thought they could fluster me with their antics, huh?' he thought, a smirk playing on his lips. 'Well, they've got another thing coming. They don't know who they're dealing with.'

As the students changed out of their gym clothes after a cold shower and prepared for their next class, Orion couldn't help but get excited with his next class.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the physical education class, and the students made their way to their next class: Chemistry with Momo Yaoyorozu. A smart, kind, and excellent teacher, Momo was known for her intelligence and resourcefulness. She encouraged her students to think creatively and apply their knowledge in practical situations. As the older version of her anime self, Momo had a more developed body and a mature face, which only added to her allure.

As the students filed into the chemistry lab, they were greeted by the sight of Momo standing at the front of the room. With a warm smile, she welcomed her students and began to explain a chemistry theory.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we'll be learning about chemical reactions and how to predict their outcomes using the periodic table," she said, her voice strong and confident. "By understanding the properties of the elements, we can predict how they will react with one another and even create new substances."

The students listened intently as Momo walked them through the principles of chemical reactions, her explanations clear and concise. Orion, who had always been interested in science, found himself completely absorbed in her lesson.

After explaining the theory, Momo instructed her students to pair up and conduct an experiment. "I want you to choose two elements from the periodic table and predict the outcome of their reaction," she said, her eyes scanning the room. "Once you've made your predictions, you will carry out the experiment and observe the results."

Momo began to pair up the students, making sure to keep the sisters together. Orion found himself paired with Winry Rockbell, his childhood friend who had harbored a crush on him for years. The other pairs were Hinata Hyuga and Yachiru Kusajishi, Orihime Inoue and Levy McGarden, Vivi Nefertari and Mikasa Ackerman, Ririchiyo Shirakiin and Saeko Busujima, Yuuki Asuna and Mizore Shirayuki, Alice Nakiri and Morgiana, Lucy Heartfilia and Akeno Himejima, Nezuko and Tatsumaki, and finally, Aurora and Luna.

Orion and Winry exchanged a knowing glance, the familiarity between them evident in the way they smiled at each other. They had been friends for as long as they could remember, and although Winry had harbored feelings for him for years, their friendship had always remained strong.

As they began to work on their experiment, Orion couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their partnership. He knew that Winry was an incredibly intelligent and talented young woman, and he appreciated the way she challenged and supported him in equal measure.

As they discussed which elements to combine for their experiment, Winry's voice was soft but determined. "I think we should try combining potassium and water," she suggested, her eyes filled with excitement. "It should create an exothermic reaction and release hydrogen gas."

Orion nodded in agreement, impressed by her knowledge and enthusiasm. "That sounds like a great idea, Winry. Let's give it a try."

Under Momo's watchful eye, the students began to carry out their experiments, the room soon filled with the sounds of bubbling liquids and crackling flames. Winry and Orion worked together seamlessly, their chemistry – both literal and figurative – undeniable.

As Winry and Orion gathered the necessary materials for their experiment, he couldn't help but tease her a bit. "You know, Winry," he said, grinning slyly, "our chemistry together is really something else."

Winry looked up from her task, her cheeks flushing a faint pink. "What do you mean by that?" she asked, trying to maintain her composure.

Orion leaned in closer, his voice a low, seductive purr. "I mean that we seem to work well together, in and out of the lab. Don't you think?" He smirked, enjoying the way her eyes widened at his flirtatious remark.

Winry's blush deepened, but she didn't back down. "Are you trying to make me blush, Orion?" she asked, her voice quivering slightly.

He chuckled softly, enjoying their playful banter. "Not at all, Winry. I'm just acknowledging the undeniable connection between us. And if that makes you blush, well..." His voice trailed off, leaving the implication hanging in the air.

Winry looked at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and admiration. She had known Orion for years, but she had never seen him so confident and self-assured. It was a side of him that she found both intriguing and attractive.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to play along. "Well, in that case, I have to agree with you, Orion. Our chemistry is definitely something special."
