Chapter 54: With Koro-sensei
(Ryoto's pov)
I stayed after school just like Koro-sensei asked. I walked into a faculty office where only Koro-sensei was present. Karasuma was absent at the moment, probably meeting the higher-ups.
Koro-sensei: "Please, take a seat."
I sat in front of him and waited for whatever I was called for. Koro-sensei rested his chin? on his tentacles and asked seriously.
Koro-sensei: "Do you have a girl you like?"
Ryoto: "Huh?"
I expected many things but not that.
Koro-sensei: "As a boy your age, you must have had a crush or two, so tell your sensei about your love life."
He pulled out a notebook, a pen and got glasses on his face without me noticing. I didn't pay attention, and my eyes were closed, but it was still impressive to escape my perception.
Ryoto: "Can we get to the topic already?"
Koro-sensei put away the newly acquired things and pouted.
Koro-sensei: "You're no fun..."
Ryoto: "Sensei, I still need to buy groceries."
Koro-sensei vanished once more, and five minutes later, he came back with two grocery bags on a table.
Koro-sensei: "Now that you have time, let's have a chat."
I looked him straight into the eyes and said.
Ryoto: "I'm not paying for it."
Koro-sensei panicked and started counting the money he had left.
Koro-sensei: "If I eat only... for about... then I could..."
He mumbled his plan to survive this month. Wait, if he just started teaching, how does he have money? Did he get paid in advance, or did the government give him some money? Maybe it's his savings before he became Koro-sensei as I know him today.
Ryoto: "Ok, sensei, so what did you want to talk about, and if you say my relationships one more time, I'm leaving."
Koro-sensei took a breath to say something but a word didn't leave his mouth. He coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Koro-sensei: "I wanted to talk about you, if that's alright."
Ryoto: "Me?"
Koro-sensei: "Yes. We both know that you have a few small 'issues', and I would like to know what causes them. Of course, I can't force you, and you can walk away right now, and I won't stop you."
The silence started, but I didn't exit the room, and Koro-sensei was waiting patiently for me to either speak or leave. I then opened my eyes and decided to leave them open during the duration of the whole conversation.
Ryoto: "You know, I wasn't always this handsome young man that sits in front of you. I didn't start out with these eyes."
I pointed at them.
Ryoto: "Or my strength. I was a normal boy with normal eyes and life. My family could be called somehow dysfunctional, but there were a lot of happy moments. Unfortunately, I wasn't always the son my parents wanted. My mother loved me, though, but my father mostly ignored me. He came to me just to ask for my help or borrow something. I didn't care about it as I couldn't view him as a father either..."
I started telling him some things I felt somehow comfortable with sharing. Koro-sensei listened to me without interrupting, which was surprising for him.
I needed to stick with just one of my life's problems, for now, to not contradict myself as I don't want to talk about my reincarnation/transmigration right now, if ever.
Ryoto: "The last time I saw..."
Images flashed through my head.
???: "You know that I hate liars..."
I furrowed my brows, and I didn't continue what I started saying.
Koro-sensei observed me but didn't say anything. As I sat in silence, I noticed a movement of one of his tentacles under a table. My face showed distaste and disgust. He looked at my face and didn't know why I made such an expression until it hit him, and he panicked and tried explaining himself with a pen and notebook in his tentacles.
Koro-sensei: "Wait, wait!!! That's not what it looks like!!!"
Ryoto: "The damage is already done. I can't delete this image from my mind. I want some kind of recompensation."
I said without any emotion in my voice. I honestly didn't want to imagine that.
Ryoto: "I feel dirty..."
I pulled out my phone and started dialing 110.
Koro-sensei: "Wait, don't involve the police! I don't want to lose this job!!! IT's just my second day on this job!!!"
He can lose his job? No, wait. Knowing the chairman of this school, he can indeed be fired.
Ryoto: "Can you fulfill one request of mine then?"
Koro-sensei: "Yes, yes!"
He nodded his head hurriedly.
Ryoto: "Then I want you to help me train."
Koro-sensei: "Train?"
Ryoto: "Yes, as you've noticed, I'm not an ordinary man, and I want your help with training... You know what? It's better and faster to showcase."
We went outside and found the river that I was searching for.
Koro-sensei: "So what did you want to show me?"
I didn't answer and breathed in some air, moved some water out of the river, and lunched it into Koro-sensei. It shocked him, but he easily dodged even the tiniest droplet of water. I then tried to use fire bending for the first time on the water by accumulating my anger and using the Shaolin style of fighting that I read online. I managed to somehow summon a fire. Afterward, I used Haki on my arm and punched a tree, breaking it in the process. The tree fell into the river. I walked up to the fallen piece of wood and lifted it up with some effort, and threw it a bit further down the river. I walked out of the river with my shoes still wet. I didn't think it through, but they'll dry out after some time. I locked into another tree that I would imagine would start sweating if it could. After I took off my shoes and socks, I began climbing upwards.
About five meters up, I stopped and went into a crouch position, which would be normally impossible to do while climbing a tree.
I jumped down while doing a backflip and landed on my two feet without any trouble. I then looked at Koro-sensei and said.
Ryoto: "I need your help with that."
