After arriving at the school and entering the school building, we first separated from our attendants and headed to our respective classes.
I quickly made my way to the classroom and sat down in the back row.
The morning announcements were given, and after the school song and pledge, the teachers came in and took attendance.
Mrs. Takanashi took her place at the front of the classroom. She called out our names in alphabetical order. When she got to the letter O, she asked, "Otis?"
"Here," I replied.
After attendance, we were asked to turn to page 117 in our magic textbook. Mrs. Takanashi walked around the classroom, checking to make sure that everyone was following along.
"Today, we're going to learn about the intricate relationship between men and women when using magic," Mrs. Takanashi announced to the class. "In particular, we're going to focus on the differences between how men and women use magic and the unique ways they can use it to influence each other."
She paused, taking a deep breath, before continuing. "Let's start with the basics. Men and women have different mana reserves. Mana is the life force that powers magic, and it flows through all living things. Men tend to have more mana than women due to their physical strength and endurance. However, women are more sensitive to the flow of mana and thus have a greater capacity for manipulating it."
Mrs. Takanashi walked over to the whiteboard and picked up a marker, sketching out a diagram of the human body. "This is because women have a more intricate network of meridians and chakras, which allows them to channel mana more effectively. Men, on the other hand, have a more straightforward system, which means they can store more mana, but they have a harder time manipulating it."
The class nodded in understanding.
Mrs. Takanashi continued, "Now, this can be a big problem for both men and women," she said, her voice growing more serious. "The difference in the size of the mana reservoir is huge, but if the person with the small reservoir can do better magic, then this is a disadvantage, right?"
The class murmured in agreement, all nodding their heads in understanding. Mrs. Takanashi smiled, pleased with their response. "It is true," she continued. "Because the person who has a lot of mana but can't do good magic is very problematic. They may have the potential for great power, but if they can't harness it, then what good is it?"
We all nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Takanashi then began to draw a series of arrows, connecting different parts of the body. As she did so, she continued to explain her point.
"So how can you overcome this problem?" she asked. "The simple answer is skin-to-skin contact. As I have said previously, men have more mana reserves, and women have more mana sensitivity. So, the best way to solve this is to combine both of the powers, and that can be done only with skin-to-skin contact."
There was a bit of a commotion among the class as the students began to whisper among themselves.
Mrs. Takanashi let out an exasperated sigh and turned towards the class.
"You are all thinking the same thing," she said, giving us a stern look. "It is indeed a form of intimacy, but it is also a necessity. The reason is that you can't feel the mana of others unless you are touching their skin."
"So, if you are not touching each other, you can't use magic?" asked one of the girls.
"Exactly," replied Mrs. Takanashi.
The class let out a collective gasp.
Mrs. Takanashi sighed once more, shaking her head.
"I know, it is quite shocking. But, remember, the amount of mana you can use is limited by your body's ability to absorb mana. If you have more skin-to-skin contact, it means you will have more mana flowing into your body. And if you can use more mana, you can do more magic."
The class looked at her in stunned silence.
"That is why, in order to perform magic, men and women need to touch each other," she explained.
"But what if we don't want to touch each other?" asked one of the boys.
Mrs. Takanashi let out another heavy sigh.
"If you don't want to touch each other, you are not going to be able to use magic," she said, giving the class a stern look. "And this is where things get really interesting. The more you touch, the more sensitive you become to the mana of the other person. Eventually, you will reach a point where you can even feel their mana without having to touch them."
"But doesn't that mean we'll be constantly feeling their mana?" asked the boy again.
Mrs. Takanashi gave him a look of disdain.
"No, not if you don't want to. If you want to, you can simply close your mind to it. But if you don't, you will always be aware of the mana of the person you're touching. That's why it's important to make sure you're comfortable with the person before you start touching each other."
The class fell silent, mulling over the new information.
Mrs. Takanashi cleared her throat, drawing their attention back to her.
"Now, let's move on to the next topic," she said, glancing at her watch. "We've spent too much time talking about the basics, and we still have a lot of ground to cover." Mrs. Takanashi said, walking over to the whiteboard and erasing the previous notes.
"As I mentioned earlier, men tend to have a larger mana reservoir, and women have more sensitivity to the flow of mana. This means that the men can store more mana, but the women are better at controlling and manipulating it.
It's a fascinating aspect of magic that has been studied for centuries."
She continued writing on the board as the class listened attentively. "This difference in mana capacity and sensitivity has advantages for both sexes. Men can wield more powerful spells that require a lot of mana, while women can perform more intricate spells with greater precision. With their unique abilities, both men and women can use magic in a variety of ways, from healing to combat to everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning."
The class nodded in agreement, impressed by the intriguing topic. "So, did you all understand my lesson so far?" Mrs. Takanashi asked, turning to face her students.
"Yes, Mrs. Takanashi!" the class replied.
"Very good," she said, smiling at the class.
"Now, let's move on to the second part of our lesson," Mrs. Takanashi said. "Make a group of two—one boy and one girl," Mrs. Takanashi instructed. "No boy-boy or girl-girl pairs, please. Once you've found your partner, meet me at the training ground outside."
The class began moving around and finding their partners, the sound of shuffling chairs and excited chatter filling the room.
"I wonder who my partner will be," I murmured, glancing around the room. "Oh, there's Kana. Maybe we can pair up." I got up from my seat and walked "over to where Kana was standing.
"Hey, Kana," I greeted. . "Do you want to pair up?"
She looked at me, surprised. "Me?" she asked, pointing to herself.
I nodded. "Yeah, I don't have a partner yet, and it seems like you don't either."
She looked at me, surprised.
"Are you sure? she asked, hesitating.
"Of course," I said, smiling.
"Don't you hate me?" she asked, frowning.
"Hate you?" I said, confused.
"I thought you would hate me after what I did."
I looked at her, trying to figure out what she was talking about.
"After what?" I asked, still confused.
"You know, after I made you cum, then my mom burst in."
"Oh, that," I said, finally understanding what she was talking about.
I laughed and shook my head.
"I don't hate you, Kana," I said, smiling at her.
"Really?" she asked, not believing me.
"Really?" I said, nodding.
"I'm glad," she said, smiling at me.
"I was afraid you would hate me forever."
"I could never hate you, Kana," I said, taking her hand in mine.
"Never," I repeated, looking into her eyes.
Kana's eyes began to water, and she quickly blinked away the tears. "Oh, Otis, I'm so glad," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. And then, without warning, she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.
I could feel the softness of her hair against my cheek, and I inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of her. It was a mixture of lavender and something else, something uniquely Kana. I embraced her back, holding her close to me. I could feel her heartbeat against my chest, and it was like a symphony playing just for us. We stayed like that for a few moments, lost in each other's embrace. "Come on," I said, releasing her from the hug. "Let's go to the training ground."
"Okay," Kana said, smiling. Her eyes were still a little watery, but the smile on her face was genuine.
We walked outside and joined the other students, forming a circle around Mrs. Takanashi.
"I'll start explaining the next step in this lesson," Mrs.
Takanashi said, looking around at the class.

"Now, the next step is called the transfer. The idea is to transfer your mana to your partner, so the other person can use it," Mrs. Takanashi said, looking around.
"How do we do that?" a boy asked, raising his hand.
"Simple," Mrs. Takanashi replied, smiling at the class.
"Simply touch the palms of your hands together. Then, focus on the flow of your mana. Try to find the rhythm and flow of the other person's mana, and synchronize your mana with theirs."
The class nodded, a sense of anticipation filling the air.
"Now, let's try it," Mrs. Takanashi said, gesturing for everyone to start.
I turned to face Kana, our eyes locking. "Ready?" I asked, reaching out to take her hand.
"Ready," Kana replied, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
We placed our palms together, our fingers intertwined.
"Close your eyes," Mrs. Takanashi told us.
"Focus," she instructed.
"Focus," Kana repeated, her eyes closed.
"Feel the flow of your mana. Find the rhythm. And then,
synchronize your mana with your partner's."
I did as I was told, closed my eyes, and focused on the flow of my mana. I took a deep breath and tried to find the rhythm. It was like trying to find the beat of a song I had never heard before, but I could feel it pulsating within me. And then, I felt it. Kana's mana. It was like a warm embrace, welcoming me into her world.
As I tried to synchronize my mana with hers, I felt a sense of oneness that I had never experienced before. It was like our souls were dancing together in perfect harmony. But then, as quickly as it had come, it was gone. Her mana slipped away from me, like a fleeting dream that I couldn't quite grasp.
I opened my eyes to see Kana biting her lower lip, a sign that she was nervous. I squeezed her hand gently to reassure her that everything was okay. "Just relax and let your mana flow," I said, hoping that my words would help her find her rhythm.
Kana took a deep breath and closed her eyes once more, concentrating on the flow of her mana. I did the same, trying to sync up our mana. It was still elusive, like trying to catch a butterfly with your bare hands.
But then something shifted. I felt a warm sensation emanating from my hand, and I knew that my mana had found its way into Kana's body. I couldn't help but open my eyes and look at her. To my surprise, she was looking back at me with a sense of wonder in her eyes. "Did you feel that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Did you feel that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I most certainly did," I replied, a smile spreading across my face.
"I could feel your mana, and it was amazing."
Kana smiled, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Me too," she said, her smile growing wider.
We were so caught up in the moment that we didn't notice Mrs. Takanashi's approach.
"I'm very impressed," she said, her voice interrupting us.
"Most couples don't get the hang of it so quickly."
We looked at her, a bit startled.
"Really?" Kana asked with a look of surprise on her face.
"Absolutely," Mrs. Takanashi affirmed. "This is a very intimate process, and it takes a lot of trust and concentration to achieve."
"I see," Kana replied, a hint of pride in her voice.
"Yes," Mrs. Takanashi continued, smiling at us. "You are a very special couple, and I can't wait to see what you can accomplish together."
"Thank you, Mrs. Takanashi," I said, smiling back at her.
"You're welcome," she replied, patting us on the shoulder before heading off to supervise another couple.
We turned to face each other, our hands still intertwined.
"I can't believe we did it," Kana said, her eyes full of joy.
"Me neither," I replied, grinning.
"I'm so happy," she said, throwing her arms around me.
"Me too," I whispered, hugging her tightly.
We stood there, watching the rest of the class try to complete the exercise. Some couples managed to sync up their mana, but others were having trouble.
"Alright, class, that's enough for today," Mrs. Takanashi announced, clapping her hands together.
"Those of you who were able to connect your mana today, please follow me," she said, motioning towards the door. "The rest of you, stay here and continue practicing. I want everyone to have mastered this skill by next week."
"Yes, Mrs. Takanashi," the class replied.
Mrs. Takanashi led the group of couples who had synced their mana, including us, to another part of the training grounds. "Okay," she said, once everyone was gathered.
"Now that you have managed to sync up your mana, I want to teach you how to use it."
"Use it?" a girl asked, sounding confused.
"That's right," Mrs. Takanashi responded, nodding.
"Once you can control the flow of your mana, you can channel it into various types of magic."
"What kind of magic?" a girl asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"All sorts," Mrs. Takanashi said, gesturing around her.
"Healing, protection, offensive magic... the list goes on."
"That's amazing," the girl said, her excitement palpable.
"Indeed," Mrs. Takanashi said, grinning at us.
"But we are not going to be doing any of that," she said firmly.
. "Why not?"
"Because we don't live in the medieval period anymore," Mrs. Takanashi replied with a chuckle.
"We are modern, and we have access to modern weapons."
As she spoke, four girls entered the room, each carrying a large box. Mrs. Takanashi clapped her hands, and they set the boxes down on the floor.
"Inside these boxes are the modern tools of war," she announced, her voice firm and commanding. "Each one has been crafted with precision and care, designed to give you the edge in battle."
With a flourish, she began opening the lids of the boxes one by one, revealing row upon row of weapons.
The students gathered around her, their eyes wide with anticipation as they waited to see what lay inside.
"Here, you'll find handguns, automatic rifles, submachine guns, and shotguns," Mrs. Takanashi explained, pulling out each weapon in turn. "Each one has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, so it's important to choose the right one for the job." She gestured to the rifles in her hands.
"They're accurate and powerful, but they require a steady hand and a keen eye. If you're up against an enemy who's far away, these rifles will give you an edge."
She then turned to a table where several submachine guns were laid out. "The submachine guns, on the other hand, are better suited for close-quarters combat," she explained. "They're lightweight and easy to maneuver, but they don't have the same range as the rifles. If you're in a tight space or need to move quickly, these guns will be your best bet."
Mrs. Takanashi then moved on to the shotguns, which were particularly popular with the students. "These are great for taking out multiple enemies at once," she said, handing out a shotgun to Kana. "This will make it easier for you to move quickly and efficiently on the battlefield."
As the students examined the various weapons in front of them, Mrs. Takanashi continued her explanation. "All the weapons emit a mana laser that ablates the surface of the target," she said. "This creates a short-lived burst of mana, which in turn creates a rush of sound, light, and manamagnetic waves. Depending on your element, the weapon can fire different kinds of attacks. For example, if you have a fire element, your weapon will emit a burst of flames. If you have a water element, your weapon will emit a burst of water. It's important to know your element and how to use it to your advantage."
At this point, Mrs. Takanashi paused to gauge the reactions of the students. "Any questions so far?" she asked.
There was a moment of silence before one of the girls raised her hand. "How do you know which weapon is right for you?" she asked.
Mrs. Takanashi smiled. "Good question," she said. "I suggest you try out a variety of weapons and see which one feels most comfortable in your hand. Once you find that one weapon that speaks to you, that's the one you should stick with."
The students nodded, taking note of Mrs. Takanashi's advice. They were eager to try out different weapons and find the one that suited them best. "Also, it's important to remember that all weapons are mana-powered," Mrs. Takanashi continued. "This means that they can be used indefinitely, as long as you have enough mana. It's important to conserve your mana, however, as it can take time to replenish. This will give you an advantage in battle, as you won't need to worry about running out of ammunition."
The students nodded, understanding the importance of conserving their mana. They knew that in battle, every advantage counted, and conserving their mana could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Mrs.
Takanashi glanced around the classroom, seeing the looks of eagerness on the faces of her students. "Are there any other questions?" she asked.
One student raised her hand. "Do all the weapons work the same way?" she asked.
Mrs. Takanashi nodded. "Mostly," she replied. "The key differences between the weapons are in the types of ammunition they use. For example, pistols and handguns use a variety of projectile types, such as bullets, slugs, and darts. The rifles and shotguns use a variety of ammunition as well, such as flechettes, darts, and slugs. All the ammunition is designed to create a manamagnetic explosion."
Another student raised her hand. "If a bullet hits me, does it hurt?" she asked.
"Yes," Mrs. Takanashi responded. "A bullet would feel like a punch. It would hurt, but it would not be fatal unless the bullet struck you in a vital area. But the armor you wear would also help mitigate the pain of the impact."
"Any more questions?" Mrs. Takanashi asked.
When no one else responded, she clapped her hands together. "Okay, then," she said, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "
"Before we conclude our lesson for today," she said, "I want to make sure everyone is clear on what we'll be doing next week." She paused for a moment, letting the anticipation build.
"The ladies will be choosing a weapon and learning how to fire it using their male partner's shared mana," she continued. "This is an important lesson, as it will teach you how to work together as a team and make the most of your strengths." She looked over at the male students, who were listening intently.
"And for the gentlemen," she said, "you will be learning how to support and power your partner's weapon. This is just as important as learning to use a weapon yourself, as it will allow you to work together seamlessly and effectively."
Another student, a male this time, spoke up. "What if we don't have any mana to share with our partner?" he asked.
Mrs. Takanashi's smile didn't falter. "Don't worry," she said. "We will be providing mana stones for everyone to use during the lesson. This way, everyone will have an equal opportunity to learn and succeed."
She paused for a moment, allowing her words to sink in. "Now, I know this might be a little intimidating for some of you," she continued, "but trust me when I say that you're all capable of doing this. With hard work and determination, you'll be firing those weapons like pros in no time."
"That's all for today," she concluded. "You're free to go.."
The class immediately began gathering their things, talking animatedly amongst themselves as they headed out the door. I lingered behind, waiting for Kana to finish putting her things away.
"Ready to go?" I asked as she approached.
She nodded, a smile spreading across her face. "Ready."
Together, we left the classroom, the sounds of our footsteps echoing down the hall.
