Chapter 92

A new day came.

For the first time, I was paying attention to the educational lessons – very unlike me. I have to do this or I may lose the car, which I had earned after draining two Nomus from their lives.

Because of the strong physical body I have, Julia made me study with her until the end of the dawn, and we weren't sleepy. I had given her that power to protect herself, not to make me stay up late for the education.

What a pain.

I looked at Midnight, who was writing at the board, and it wasn't helpful to listen to her at all.

I needed to figure out a new technique.

'What if… what if…' I thought seriously as I felt enlightened. 'Found a way to boost my brain's work with Hamon.'

Why did I never thought of doing so before? It had always worked at hypotheses the others.

I channelled some Hamon to my nerves than to the brain, making my hair spike up.

It's a new technique, and not guaranteed to work.

Midnight turned and stared at me. "Lee. If you have time to mess with your hair, spend it giving attention." She then hit the board with her whip.

"Don't pay attention to me, it's my Quirk, out of the control." I waved my hand as if it's not within my control.

Wait. I came up with this idea fast. Right, Hamon can make muscles stronger and faster.

I lost sight for a second.

Shit. I need to be careful when I am doing this. Focusing the Ripples somewhere in my brain, I started recalling childhood memories. Channelling them in another part, I found that I could control my eyesight.

Suddenly, I realised it. I can manipulate my brain functions.

However, because of my lack of knowledge about those parts of the brain, I made a mistake.

I was paralysed for a second and my head hit the table. Bang. 10 minutes later, I woke up.

'An empty brain would still empty even if you upgrade it.'

I massaged my head after a headache.

Now I think of it, it's good to use Hamon on your brain, just on certain parts – I don't want to simulate weird tastes or some orgasm or you know the rest.

Anyway, I made Star Platinum pick up my phone and download some E-books about the brain parts, and then I paid attention to the rest of the history and modern art… and my focus was taken by Midnight's treasures...

Don't blame me, blame whosoever hired +18 rated heroine to teach people.

Once everything was over, I had a little chat with my classmates. Reiko seemed more talkative than usual. She asked me how I am doing with the preparation for the exams. I answered by fine.

Then, two more teachers entered and two classes were over. English doesn't seem trouble for me, either math, since Julia has a degree in physics. The only problem left was history, arts, Japanese, and the rest.

Before the last class get over, I went to the library after I excused myself.

I sighed as I put the phone back in my pocket. Alright. Now, I know what brain parts can do – I've never been a fan of biology, but I guess I can always learn.

But knowledge can be useful. I can even get high now without drugs, just with Hamon. And it's legal.

I'm joking.

That's not what I'm looking for.

I needed to get good scores at the exams, to keep the car.

So, I could only manipulate the good parts of my brain.

My brain had flicked with ideas, simple such, 'Use Stand.' But in another part, it told me 'What if you separate you. Or gave each student a different topic, to assure that you can't cheat.' Which made studying the only good idea.

When Itsuka saw me at the library, sitting and reading some E-book, she blinked twice.

"Who are you and what have you done to Lee?" Itsuka sat next to me and saw me reading. She kept staring at me before flicking her fingers in front of my face.

"Itsuka. Give me a break." I said, my tone calm/

"Oh, it's you, really you." She made a mocking comment as she stared at my eyes, her head supported by her hand. "

"I missed you by the way." I leaned forward to her and kissed her on her lips. And she kissed back for two minutes or so.

"So, how was it." she said, "You seems to be concerned. Did something happen yesterday?"

She meant the woman I was with yesterday.

"No." I shook my head. "The final exams, the written ones, is what annoys me the most."

"Woah. I never thought you would care about those."

"No, I don't," I replied honestly. "But If I don't pass them, I will lose my car."

After slamming the table with her hand, she stood up quickly, eyes wide opened and focused on me.

"That's not fair!" She retorted. "We were supposed to drive together around the country this summer."

Itsuka likes the car as well. I let her drive it sometimes, and she was someone who likes speed. The sports car was second to the motorcycle she wishes to buy.

"Talk to my mom." I shrugged my shoulders.

"It's okay." She calmed down. "We will pass this ordeal."

She then bit her nail. "I can help you with Japanese. And I have a smart friend to help you with other topics."

"Great," I said. Anyway, with my new brand discovered technique, I'll be able to get done from studying quickly. I needed just more knowledge about the brain parts, especially the ones which would get me over this swiftly.

"By the way," she said. "I heard, from older students, that the practical exam, is about fighting robots."

"Well… that's easy, I guess."

I then murmured, as I thought about someone. "Maybe, I'll have to ask her about the arts… she seems to know how to keep her look."

Yu seems to be knowledgeable about the topic which Midnight teaches.

Itsuka, who was in deep thoughts, suddenly snapped, like she remembered something.

"Lee."

"Yes."

"Who's the girl who you were with yesterday," she asked, half eyes closed. "Does she study here?"

"No," I replied. "She is a pro."

"Ha. Ha." She said, sounding dramatic. "Don't lie to me. Who is she?"

Itsuka. Since you gave the green card, you can't turn to a Drama Queen all of the sudden.

"Yu Takeyama," I said

"Who? Sounds familiar." Itsuka narrowed her eyebrows. Most heroes are known by their aliases and not their names. Even though they were no big secrets.

"Mount Lady."

When these words left my mouth, she opened her eyes widely. I could tell exactly what she was doing. She was comparing herself with the other girl.

"And she accepted, even when you told her you to have a girlfriend." She asked. And I caught the annoyance in her tone. She touched her chest unconsciously. "You told her, right?"

"Yes. I wasn't intending to hide you." I replied. "Do you want me to arrange your meeting with her? Since the two of you don't mind each other."

"Mmm… I want to." She suddenly asked. "But tell me first. Whose chest is bigger?"

When I saw her staring at me, I leaned closer and said, "Let me hold yours and hers at the same time and I'll tell you."

Forming a small fist, she punched my chest, in frustration at my remark. "Later. Now, let's study. I don't want our car to slip away."

"Hehehe…"

I laughed and messed with her hair.

I texted Yu, to come to the public library. Her answer came very soon.

[Sure, my shift would end by five. I'll see you and that girl of yours…]
