Chapter 55: Lazing and training

(Ryoto's pov)

After showing off my powers, Koro-sensei started thinking deeply about something. He agreed to train me, but we would start tomorrow.

I started walking home, but someone was waiting for me. Two persons, to be exact, Kaede and Rio.

Rio: "Aren't you a lucky guy, having two beauties waiting for you."

Not untrue, but I won't admit it to them. I don't want their ego to be as large as Karen's.

She teased me. She reminds me of Risa a bit. I need to remember to resolve that problem when I get back, but I need to know what the problem is first.

Ryoto: "Narcissistic much."

Rio: "Says the guy who said I needed to get in line to get his autograph."

Ryoto: "Touche, so what did you want."

Rio: "Do we need to have a reason to wait for you?"

Huh, she is right.

Rio: "By the way, what do you have in the bags you're carrying?"

Ryoto: "The groceries. Koro-sensei bought them for me."

Kaede and Rio looked at each other and then at me, but I refused to elaborate.

We walked home and talked about small things. Ok, the girls talked, and I sometimes answered or said something on topic. Rio separated earlier as her home was another way. After she left, a conversation stagnated a bit as both Kaede, and I realized how hard Rio was carrying our talk.

The rest of the day went as usual, except I didn't go to the grocery store thanks to Koro-sensei. I made some food, ate it, didn't vomit it, which was good, and went to sleep.

The next day a group of students tried to kill Koro-sensei with a surprise by acting friendly and smiling at him, but it was too forced, and Koro-sensei realized the trap. He used his super speed to take away all of their weapons and replace them with flowers he picked up near the school. He didn't notice that it was a school garden that he vandalized. To appease his student, he gave them a handicap. He was tied by the rope and hung like a piata. He was pretty high up, so the only way to kill him was with pistols or a knife attached to a stick. The students tried to stab and shoot him unsuccessfully.

I said with a serious face. Rio walked up to me and placed her hand on my forehead.

Rio: "It doesn't seem like you have a fever."

Ryoto: "Seriously?"

Rio: "It was either that or 8th-grade syndrome and by elimination process..."

Ryoto: "Don't you dare finish this sentence!"

It didn't stop her, though.

Rio: "It only leaves..."

Ryoto: "Ok, you win! I noticed that a branch was breaking already, and I timed my snap correctly. Do you always force a magician to reveal his secrets?"

I don't care what people think of me, but I don't plan on being a chuunibyou in anyone's eyes.

Rio: "Only sometimes. But you have great eyesight to notice something like that from here."

Ryoto: "It's a gift from the gacha gods."

She looked at me strangely, but I didn't mind her.

Layer after school has ended, Koro-sensei and I started training. His tentacles wrapped around my body to check my muscles, but the only thing I could think about was 'is that what being a woman in hentai feels like'. After sensei let me down, I explained to him what I wanted to focus on. I wanted to improve my usage of bending of both elements, Haki of both types, and fighting practice.

Today we focused on bending. Koro-sensei noticed that my movement was similar to known martial arts, so he researched it and guided my movements accordingly. Of course, everything wasn't the same, and I tried to describe bending in as many details as possible.

He also taught me as much about water and fire as possible. We couldn't go over everything during one session. Afterward, I did some light sparring with Koro-sensei. I could follow his movements, but I couldn't react in time as he would already move away before I would even start moving. He even had a 'clone' cheering me up and the other resting. I swore to myself that I would pinch him at least once. We ended our training at that, and I returned home.
