The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 52: Talk with the teachers

(3rd pov)

After Ryoto left, a classroom was silent. No one knew what should they do. Should they just leave, talk about what happened, maybe peek into the teacher's room and eavesdrop on their conversation. Some wanted to do that for sure.

Ryoma and his goons left the classroom as well while cursing under his breath. He was clearly angry, but an earlier event made him scared enough not to bully anyone, at least today.

There was silence once again after one of the central figures of the event left.

Rio: "So anyone has any idea what that was about?"

Rio Nakamura broke the silence and asked the question everyone wanted to ask, but unfortunately, no one knew the answer. Ryoto was not only a new student, but he wasn't social as well. He didn't care about anyone in the class, and he never started the conversation. He answered if asked, but that's all. He often responded in a way that would be difficult to continue unless you really wanted, except...

Everyone turned their heads to Kaede, who was sitting near Ryoto and was seen talking with him. She also came to the classroom with him today, so if anyone had the answers, she would be the one.

Kaede, clearly frustrated by the sudden attention she got, didn't know what to say and mumbled at some words.

Megu: "Ok, everyone, calm down. Give her some time and space."

The class claimed down thanks to Megu but still waited for the answers.

Kaede: "I don't know much, but from what I know, he is living alone because his parents work overseas. He also has someone he dearly misses. I don't know much more."

Kaede tried to explain what she knew, but she had known him for only two days. Kayano was indeed the one who talked the most with Ryoto, but it didn't mean he opened himself to her. This is not only Ryoto, though, because who would open themselves after only two days of knowing someone.

Rio: "So we don't know why he snapped. I mean, we can guess it was something to do with his parents, but nothing more, so Terasaka pushed the wrong buttons. What was interesting were Yuuki's eyes. Biology is not my best subject, but I can tell they weren't human."

Hinano: "They not only not looked human but also didn't look like an animal's eyes as well. They were more mechanical, to be honest."

Hinano Kurahashi added. Her best subject was biology and deemed about becoming zoologist, so she knew a lot about animals, so if she says that Ryoto's eyes were nothing like animal's, then no one could question it.

Taiga: "Is he then an alien or something like sensei?"

Hiroto: "Well, he transferred to our class around the same time sensei came."

Kaede raised her hand hesitantly.

Kaede: "I don't think that's the case."

Rio: "And why is that?"

Kaede: "I'm not sure, just a feeling..."

Rio: "Hmm~."

Rio didn't ask any more questions but looked at Kaede curiously.

(Ryoto's pov)

As I walked towards the faculty office, I calmed down and rethought my actions while chopping up my knife. I didn't regret what I did. I think I didn't do enough, if nothing else. I should at least let him meet Mil-tan to teach him a lesson, but that would probably kick me out of the class. Reward money doesn't mean anything to me, but I still have a quest to complete. I don't know what it is, but I have a pretty good guess. In all likelihood, it's to graduate.

Karen: "Hey! Is this thing on!?"

'Oh, hey Karen. What do you mean?'

Karen: "When you snapped, I called you a few times until I gave up and grabbed the popcorn and enjoyed the show. I was unfortunately disappointed by the ending. No broken bone, no scratches, not even psychological damage, just scared him a bit. "

'Thanks for asking how I'm doing.'

I said in sarcasm.

Karen: "We both know that even if I asked, you wouldn't be completely truthful, so why bother? I know that you need time to get used to your new life, so I won't give you any new quests for a while, not that I could do that too often anyway."

'What do you mean?'

Karen: "During the quests that take a long time to complete, I can give you up to three quests total, for now. If your system gets upgraded, that number can go up... maybe."

'I see. At least I'm not going to stress out about missions.'

Karen: "You can get titles, though, and while we are on the topic, you got a title. You probably didn't even notice notification. You get the title 'Intimidating fella'. It makes you more intimidating when you want to be."

'Okay, but why is it called 'intimidating fella'?'

Karen: "I don't know any words for an intimidating person..."

'Can you at least change it if you have a better idea?'

Karen: "Noted."

(A/N Pst, that's the part where you give me suggestions.)

I entered the office and sat in front of Karasuma and Koro-sensei. I didn't say anything, and they noticed that I didn't plan to talk on my own accord.

Tadaomi: "So, care to explain anything?"

Ryoto: "What can I say. My classmate said something that he shouldn't, and I snapped a bit."

I explained calmly, but Karasuma wasn't satisfied with my answer.

Tadaomi: "Let me rephrase it then. What is with your strength and, most important, your eyes."

Ryoto: "Ah, you meant that."

I turned unusually serious for a moment, alerting both of them.

Ryoto: "Gacha."

My answer threw both of them off.

Tadaomi: "Gacha?"

Ryoto: "Yes, I spun a wheel and got the eyes and my strength."

Karasuma had a 'are you serious face. If only he knew that I was telling the truth. He then slammed the desk that was separating us.

Tadaomi: "It's a serious matter, so answer seriously! Who or what are you?"

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

Ryoto: "At the moment, a human and a class 3-E student who is learning under Koro-sensei, nothing more, nothing less."

Tadaomi: "And what were you before then?"

I paused for a moment and answered calmly.

Ryoto: "A little bit happier."

My answer shocked both of them, and there was silence once more. This time I decided to start talking on my own.

Ryoto: "You may not believe me, but I'm not here to harm anyone even if my actions say otherwise. Terasaka just said something that made me lose control. Everyone has something they wouldn't want to hear, even someone stoic like you or Koro-sensei. I'll try to control myself in the future better. I would also like to keep it a secret. I wouldn't want to become a lab rat or something."

Tadaomi: "Sorry, but I can't do it. You are an unknown, and I need to report everything that happens in this classroom."

Koro-sensei wanted to say something, but I stopped him. I had a plan, after all.

Ryoto: "Guessed as much. How about a bet then?"

It picked Karasuma's interest.

Tadaomi: "A bet?"

Ryoto: "Yes, if I'll be able to harm Koro-sensei in the next three days, you'll keep quiet about this event, and if I fail, then you'll do what you think is best. You can think about it in a way that if I'm useful, then you keep me around and if I'm not, then just threw me away."

Green stripes appeared on Koro-sensei's face.

Koro-sensei: "You think that you can kill me that easily?"

Ryoto: "No, but harming you is a lot easier."

I then turned to Karasuma.

Ryoto: "Do you accept my terms?"

Karasuma was thinking deeply about my offer, considering the pros and cons of what I said.

Tadaomi: "If you can do what you said, I'll keep quiet for now, but the moment I seem you dangerous, our deal is off. You'll also be under surveillance as long as you'll be part of this classroom."

Ryoto: "Sure, I can work with that."

I then reach out my hand for Koro-sensei to shake.

Ryoto: "Then Koro-sensei, I hope you'll be ready for me."

Koro-sensei still with green stripes on his face showing that he looks down on me. He then tried to shake my hand, but his tentacle melted as soon as he touched my hand. He instantly backed off as fast as he could, looking choked, and so was Karasuma.

I then showed off my hand palm. There were pieces of an anti-sensei knife attached to the inside of my hand. As I did that, I smiled.

Ryoto: "It concludes our bet then. See you tomorrow, sensei."

I left as soon as I said it leaving both adults dumbfounded, but I could still hear the last thing Karasuma said to himself.

Tadaomi: "...Did he just play me?"
