"How dare you talk to Yuki-Sama!!!!!"Tos.h.i.+ro was surprised by this outburst as he felt something grasp his right arm. Turning to face the a.s.sailant he realised that it was a girl that kept looking at Yuki throughout break.
"She seems to have a black tint…"
His thoughts were interrupted by another shout as another girl grabbed his left arm.
"You dare sully our G.o.ddess!!!"
Tos.h.i.+ro finally realised what was happening. He may be naïve, but he wasn"t stupid. Still he was quite shocked at what was happening. He tried to regain control of his arms but failed to do so, the two girls had a tight grasp on his arm and Tos.h.i.+ro was unwilling to hurt them.
Chiyo upfront was shocked by this event and quickly tried to get up but was stopped by Endo.
"Endo, no Masuhiro-san, what are you doing?"
Endo was surprised by the sudden formal speech but steeled himself when trying to stop Chiyo from interfering.
"He needs to know how to protect himself"
This was the reason Endo gave. Even he didn"t believe himself. Chiyo, however, ignored him and looked over to see Tos.h.i.+ro looking over, she noticed the calm look he had and decided to watch with worry evidence in her eyes. Tos.h.i.+ro was happy that Chiyo was concerned but his view was blocked by someone.
Tetsu and his gang just arrived and had come in front of him. With an evil look he glanced towards Akira and back at Tos.h.i.+ro. Akira, with that look, cowered down and didn"t say anything,
"Yo, seems you had quite the fun talking to Yuki-san"
Tos.h.i.+ro just stayed quiet. This irked Tetsu as he threw a punch which Tos.h.i.+ro dodged easily. Feeling humiliated he threw another one, but this time, Tos.h.i.+ro had enough. Instead of dodging he moved his arms causing the girl on the right to get in the way. The punch landed straight on her face and caused the party to fall back down.
"Kyaaa!!"
Akira on the side had enough and pushed Tetsu. Getting up he saw the girl who got a punch having a bruise on the right side of her face while she was clutching Tos.h.i.+ro"s s.h.i.+rt. It seemed that the girl on the left had also clutched his s.h.i.+rt causing the b.u.t.tons to fall off. What was revealed was just a t-s.h.i.+rt, but he could clearly see the outlines of Tos.h.i.+ro"s muscles. Being from a family of Samurais he was naturally trained in their ways, so Tos.h.i.+ro did pack quite the punch.
However, seeing the actions of the surrounding students, filled his heart with disdain. What Akira did, surprised Tos.h.i.+ro but, nevertheless, caused him to think quite highly of Akira.
"Maybe, my judgement was wrong"
It was the first time that Tos.h.i.+ro questioned his own judgement and realised that he had been putting too much trust into his abilities. With a wry smile he thought
"I shouldn"t rely too much on this. Maybe it will allow me to see the world in a different light"
With all that had happened it was quite natural for Tos.h.i.+ro to judge people from the get-go to prevent himself from suffering any harm.
Unknown to Tos.h.i.+ro, his mask and gla.s.ses had fallen of, which was also the reason for Akira suddenly stopping. Tetsu who was pushed back, slowly got up and approached Akira
"You son of a…"
Tetsu was also quite shocked seeing Tos.h.i.+ro"s face alongside the two girls who recovered the sense. Looking up that was the first thing they saw.
Sharp mystical eyes, with one being dark brown and the golden amber, beneath a pair of sword like eyebrows. High cheekbones and a chiselled nose sitting on top of a pair of thin lips.
""""Perfect""""
This was the thought going through the minds of the four people. It was an extremely handsome youth that had replaced the previous, seemingly average one.
Looking at the four, a sudden realisation hit Tos.h.i.+ro and brought his hand to his face. Upon knowing that his face was revealed, he felt dissatisfied in his heart. His experience of coming to a public high school seemed to have reached a dead end.
The rest of the cla.s.s were still confused into why Tetsu and the others suddenly stopped. His lackeys came up from behind him,
"Oyabun, what happ…"
More victims seeing Tos.h.i.+ro"s face. Knowing that there was no point in staying, Tos.h.i.+ro got up and created more victims. The confused cla.s.s was suddenly shocked into stupor seeing Tos.h.i.+ro. Wondering why it was so quiet, Endo turned around and joined the group of victims. All the boys felt despair at his handsomeness, all apart from two. Tetsu and Endo. They felt fear
""I"m finished""
They knew what this meant. That name, that look and that face. Only one person came into mind. To think they went against such a calamity.
* Bang *
The door of the cla.s.sroom was suddenly opened as Yuki rushed in with Mikka following behind. It was a ruse that they were called. The princ.i.p.al was confused while the student council president wasn"t even in the school. Looking at the cla.s.s and looking at Tos.h.i.+ro who had is mask off and s.h.i.+rt ripped open, she finally found out what had happened.
Mikka was first dazed looking at Tos.h.i.+ro then a furious expression masked her face,
"What are you guys doing?!"
No reply was made as everyone realised who Tos.h.i.+ro was. Even the most dim-witted ones finally realised the status of both Yuki and Tos.h.i.+ro, especially after seeing Yuki"s concern for Tos.h.i.+ro.
With their being no reply Mikka was livid and turned to Tos.h.i.+ro.
"I"m sorry Matsumurkun for the behaviour of these students"
Bowing she expressed an apology on behalf of everyone. Everyone followed after.
Tos.h.i.+ro"s cold look swept through the cla.s.s, the ones subjected to this s.h.i.+vered and refused to look up.
He turned around and started to leave while saying
"So, this is a public school"
He had just taken the step through the door, when suddenly a circle popped up from the ground. An intensive light had appeared in the middle of cla.s.sroom as the students were suddenly engulfed in it. Only half of Tos.h.i.+ro was bathed in the light as a sort of barrier went up on the edge of the circle.
"Wha…"
"What"s this light?"
"A circle?!"
The circle gave out another flash of gleaming light before disappearing. It would have been okay if not for the fact that a half Tos.h.i.+ro remained. As the half collapsed a pool of blood was slowly spreading across the cla.s.sroom floor. Unfortunately for Tos.h.i.+ro, he had been caught in the formation upon leaving so only the inner half was transported, not the one outside the circle.
Suddenly, Tos.h.i.+ro"s body lit up alongside his blood as he disappeared in small motes of light as they rose into the air.
- Tos.h.i.+ro"s POV -
"Wha…where am I?"
A penetrating pain suddenly appeared in his head as if a thousand needles were suddenly pushed into his brain. A small girl"s voice was heard as his soul screamed
"Slowly, elder sister do it slowly"
"I am. It"s really hard trying to patch his soul after it was split in two"
A youthful voice was heard replying.
Suddenly, a shout was heard from the distance
"I"m trying to rest; can you please keep quiet!!"
"S-sorry eldest sister"
Replied the girl"s voice meekly.
"Don"t worry, she had to interrupt the summoning and pull out his other half. The other summoned heroes are safe apart from this one"
"Still his soul is so beautiful"
"Yeah, I haven"t seen one as beautiful as this"
"Mmhmm yeah"
"What would you expect form someone chosen by her"
"Yes…"
"He is quite attractive"
"Indeed, if it was me…"
…
Endless chatter was heard as Tos.h.i.+ro"s pain subsided
"Chosen by who? Summon? That light was a summoning? And why are they only female voices"
As the pain subsided, a warm light was felt deep within his soul as it slowly recovered. Feeling this bliss, Tos.h.i.+ro desperately tried to stay awake but to no avail fell asleep.
As he was leaving, he heard something
"Goodbye Tos.h.i.+ro-san, hope we meet again"
"G-goodbye"
For the second voice, Tos.h.i.+ro imagined a little loli blus.h.i.+ng wildly,
"We should leave a note when he regains consciousness"
After that various other goodbyes were heard as he fell asleep.
