Vice Principal Azuka teleported us back to class. Momoru returns to his seat in a little storyline. He uses his power to walk like he normally does, but underneath him, there is a nearly transparent white substance that allows him to move through the air as he approaches and takes a seat.
Hmmm... I'm wondering if she could teleport someone from a far distance.
Hiragi: "Alright... Now you guys know my dark power and my friends, probably it's the best for me to know each of your classes too."
Hiragi: "But before that, about the level 20 I mentioned before. It seems like there are only two people who are still stuck below level 20 in my class."
Hiragi: "Could you two stands here?" *Eyes closed, he grinned. His right hand was raised to the floor in front of him with the palm facing up.
Huh? What is he planning? *In a short while, Fuyu and I descend the stairs and stand in front of the table and him in the center of the circle.
Fuyu: "Ummm... Is there we need to do?"
Hiragi: "Hm? Nothing... Could you two do a push-up right now?"
Yugo: "Push up?"
Hiragi: "Yes... Push up... Right now..."
Fuyu: "Ummm... But why?"
Hiragi: "Hmmm... How about I give you two choices if you refuse to do my command."
Hiragi: "First. Your grade will be disqualified. I have the right to do that."
Hiragi: "Or second. Your grade will be fine, and I will let you go travel somewhere beautiful."
Yugo: "Traveling?"
Hiragi: "Yes." *He takes hold of both Fuyu's and my shoulders.
Fuyu: "Huh... Why did Hiragi-sensei grab my should-"
Wait... What?? *As abruptly as when his small pal was sucked after being petted, both of us were sucked. His hand suckers us in.
Fuyu: "Ugh... What just happened-" *She hits the ground as she drops. after which steadily rising. as she got to her feet. As something was occurring, she paused before speaking.
Yugo: "Did we get teleported? Huh?" *Likewise, I was tumbling to the ground. Then slowly rise up and check the area. I find it surprising that we were transferred into such a frightening place.
*Blop. *Blop... *Blop. *Blop. *Blop... *Blop... *Blop. *Blop... *Sound of lava.
We were surrounded by lava as we stood in the middle of it. Despite the fact that we were standing on the ground, I could feel the heat on our feet and the area around us. The ground was shaped like a star with two double triangles. It was a rather little plot of land. Seven individuals could most likely stand side by side inside. The lava was enormous in magnitude. We could also see that the ceiling was very high, giving the impression that we were within a lava cave. There is only this center ground, nothing else.
Yugo: "Whe-Where we are right now???"
Fuyu: "Yugo! Watch out!" *She quickly grabs my hand and pulls it. I was standing at the ground's edge.
We could see the lava gently rising to the center where we were standing as the ground gradually began to sink.
Yugo: "Huh? The ground is going down?" *I am observing the lava.
Wait... No.
The ground did not go down. It was the lava that slowly rose up.
System: "Hey, Yugo... What is happening? My track of your current position suddenly disappeared."
I don't know... We were in the middle of lava...
System: "Lava?"
Fuyu: "Yu-Yugo? What is happening? What should we do?"
*Blop. *Blop. *Blop...
The lava keeps rising. *Then all of a sudden, the lava started to rise quickly. I was shocked.
Wait Wait Wait Wait... It getting closer really fast! *I'm growing frightened of it. I find it difficult to breathe because of my fear and the heat. My feet were almost in contact with the lava.
Knowing that the lava was now rising very quickly, Fuyu was likewise shocked.
Fuyu: "HIRAGI-SENSEEEEEIII!!!"
Aria: "Hiragi-sensei... What is happening? Where did you send them both?"
Hiragi: "Hm? Did I tell you before, just call me Hiragi..." *He flattens his smile.
Hiragi: "Hm?" *He picks up on something. He then raised both of his hands, palms forward.
We both quickly get out of him before collapsing to the ground.
Both of us: "*Deep breath. Haaah. *Deep breath. Haaah. *Deep breath. Haaah." *As our bodies are drenched in sweat, we inhale deeply.
Aria: "Yu-Yugo? Are you fine?" *She looked at me as she ran down.
Yugo: "What-What is that? Hiragi?" *I carefully stood up and took a long breath.
Hiragi: "Hm? It's free traveling." *He looks at me.
It is obviously not traveling.
Hiragi: "So... Quickly do a push-up right now."
Fuyu: "But..."
Hiragi: "Ow... Alright then..." *He again catches her shoulder.
Fuyu: "Wait!!! I will do that!" *She is scared.
In a short time, we do that.
Hiragi: "Keep going!" *Without a reason, we are both performing pushups.
Fuyu: "Hiragi... Sensei... I just can't do this anymore..." *She found it difficult to lift her body.
Hiragi: "Keep going..."
Fuyu: "But..."
Hiragi: "Keep going..."
I... Can't anymore...
Then, unable to continue, we both collapse on the ground. I have a numb hand. Hiragi observes that we are no longer able to take deep breaths.
Hiragi: "Alright... You two can stand up and sit in front of here."
We both sit there.
Hiragi: "Now... There's a task for both of you. And also all of you in this class."
Hiragi: "Tomorrow, no matter what happened, I want all of you in my class to reach level 40. Do you understand?"
Fuyu: "40??? Hiragi-Sensei... I'm still level 15... It's really far away."
Aria: "I also refuse to do that, Hiragi-sensei... Why we should do that?"
Hiragi: "Ah... I see... Well, I have a form on my phone though. I could just eliminate your grade if you don't want to..." *He opens something as he pulls out his phone. It appears to be a sheet with the name and grade of each class.
Aria and Fuyu: "WAIT! DON'T DO THAT!"
Hiragi: "Hm? Ah... Have you changed your mind? Alright." *He put his phone into his pocket.
Hiragi: "If you don't reach level 40, you will do a push-up like these two students before. And don't even try to escape from this."
Hiragi: "Because I will punish you even harder than this..." *His appearance was menacing. and seems scary.
Hiragi: "This is just a small portion of my training. So better to remember that."
Level 40??? Hufftt... How do I do that??? *I keep trying to breathe deeply.
Momoru: "Ummm... Why do you not tell that when all of the students are still in here, Hiragi?"
Myra: "That's right... Isn't just trying to trap them all?" *Myra shifted to the other side of the table and no longer sat next to Taka.
Taka: "I agree..." *He sat on the chair, nodded, and had his arms folded.
Hiragi: "Ahahaha... That's the point of my teaching."
Momoru: "Heeeh... Isn't it a bit too much for us? Especially we will study for the next week's written test..."
Wait what? The test was next week?
Hiragi: "Ah... About the test, I will give you an exception for that one. Just do my task, and my current task for all of you is to reach level 40 by tomorrow."
Hiragi: "And if you keep listening and doing my task for the rest of the semester, I will guarantee your test exam grade for A+... How?"
A+??? That's a big deal...
Taka: "But why?"
Hiragi: "For me... The test is nothing... It's like you were just trying to know something without acting. But in fact, the act was the more important one."
Hiragi: "Many people forget there's an act that they should do. That's is my thought and no one could change that."
Momoru: "Hmmm... I'm fine with that... Even though I like to study more."
Myra: "Nope... I don't like studying... I more agree with Hiragi-sensei."
Aria: "Me too!"
Hiragi: "But remember... Don't even run from me..."
Time accelerated till we could leave the class at last. We were all moving in together as we headed for the elevator. Hiragi is still in the classroom by herself.
"Nini?" *Once more, the demon appeared out of nowhere at his back, but this time, Hiragi was still inside the body of the demon, with the head emerging from the right side of his shoulder.
Hiragi: "Hm? Yea, I know that..."
"Niii..."
Hiragi: "They should know it sooner." *Then, just as previously, he vanished with the demon on his shoulder.
Momoru: "So what has just happened to both of you?" *as we were moving.
Yugo: "Uggh... We were probably almost burned into dead."
Fuyu: "Ye-Yea..."
Aria: "Heh???"
Fuyu: "We were standing on ground that was surrounded with lava..."
Momoru: "Hmmm...
Aria: "That sounds dangerous."
Taka: "Hmmm... I think I know where is that place... But it's only my guess..."
Aria: "Where is it?"
...
Taka: "Lavapool..."
Aria: "Uuugh... I think that's not what the place is called."
"Wooo! What a nice gang right here!"
Someone with a loud male voice appeared in front of us, close to the stairwell and elevator, all of a sudden. He was standing with the other three individuals, none of whom I knew.
Fuyu: "Ahh... Rahachiii..." *She sneezed.
Fuyu: "Ughh... Why I'm still sneezing..."
