Chapter 279: Study x Study
As the Sport Test ended, as expected, Shishio created a record again. Of course, his score wasn"t as exaggerated as the Olympic athlete"s, but even so, he still became the number one in the entire cla.s.s.
Shishio might be a bit excited since Nana told him that she was going to reward him so, at the last moment, his score almost matched an Olympic athlete, and Nishikita directly gave him a full score, telling him not to worry about the PE cla.s.s since he would give him a full score on the report this semester.
As Shishio was talking with Nana, Mea, and Maiko, he knew that it was impossible to ask for his reward now, so he talked about something else until suddenly he was approached by a middle-aged man who had been watching him for a while.
"Shishio Oga-kun, can we talk for a while?"
"Yes?" Shishio looked at this old man and raised his eyebrow since the old man"s gaze was too hot, right?
"Excuse me, but are you a PE teacher of a different cla.s.s?"
"My name is Todoroki Raizou. I"m the new coach of the baseball club." Raizou looked at Shishio with excitement and asked, "Oga-kun, are you interested in money?"
"..."
They were in silence when they heard Raizou"s words.
"Sorry?" Shishio couldn"t understand what Raizou wanted to say.
"I mean... are you interested in baseball?" Raizou quickly changed his words.
"Baseball?" Shishio only knew that baseball was the most popular sport in j.a.pan. Unfortunately, he didn"t know much about it. "Sorry, Sensei, I"m not that knowledgeable about baseball." He didn"t even know the rules of baseball. So how could he have an interest in baseball?
"Really? You don"t know?" Raizou was dumbfounded and wasn"t sure what to say for a moment.
Shishio looked at Raizou and asked, "Sensei, just what do you want to tell me?"
Hearing Shishio"s words, Raizou nodded and said, "Then I will be straight with you. I hope that you can join the baseball club."
"...." Nana, Mea, and Maiko were dumbfounded, and they looked at Shishio curiously, wondering what they were going to say. They knew that Shishio"s physical prowess was crazy, or rather, they might have never seen someone whose body was as powerful as him.
However, even though he was powerful, his body was still slender from the outside, so no one really knew how powerful he was.
So only someone like Nana, who had rubbed his body, knew how well-built the body was, and someone like Raizou, who was an ex-professional baseball player, who had seen a lot of professional bodies there, knew how scary Shishio"s body was.
Even though his body was slender, it was packed with power, and all of his muscles were concentrated and didn"t create an exaggerated bulge, which gave him natural feelings and a sense of beauty.
"Sorry, Sensei, but I have to reject your invitation," Shishio said after a moment of thought. He felt that it would be too rude if he rejected directly, so he rejected after a moment of hesitation since he faced an elder, and unlike Tokugawa, who invited him to have a fight on the Underground Arena, Raizou invited him to the baseball club, which was practically harmless.
If someone treats him well, then he will also treat that person well. On the other hand, if someone screws him, then he screws that person back.
It is as simple as that.
"Why?" Raizou was dumbfounded.
"Even if you ask me "why," I don"t even know the rules of baseball, why do you think that I"ll agree?" Shishio asked back helplessly.
"But you can get rich!" Raizou became excited and said, "With your body and face, it is only a time that you"ll become the strongest baseball player! Money, women, and status, all of them are in your palms!"
"..."
Shishio wanted to say that he had all of them already, money, women, and status, but he wouldn"t say it. He rubbed his temple and said, "Sensei, I have to admit that my performance in sport is slightly better than most people."
"Slightly better than most people..." Nana, Mea, and Maiko wanted to roll their eyes when they heard Shishio"s words.
"However, it doesn"t mean that I will become a talented baseball player even if you say that I"ll become one. Your words mean nothing if I don"t have talent, hard work, and self-sacrifice. You also haven"t seen me playing, right? How can you be so sure?" Shishio said calmly. He felt that he should be able to become the best baseball player, but he was too lazy to become one since he didn"t want to be forced to practice.
"Then you should come to the baseball club! I believe in my eyes! I believe that you have a talent to write history!" Raizou said pa.s.sionately and didn"t give up since he was searching for students with a chance to become powerful baseball players since he wanted this school baseball club to win the Koshien!
Shishio looked at Raizou and knew what kind of type this guy was. He knew that this type of guy was selfish and wouldn"t hear what the other people said, and at the same time, this guy wouldn"t easily give up, which was practically annoying. If he was a push-over type of guy and had an interest in baseball, then he might agree, but he wasn"t.
"Todoroki-sensei, once again, I"m sorry, but I have to reject your invitation. You might not know, but I need to get the 1st rank on the next Monthly Exam to maintain my scholarship. I have been busy with studying and all so I don"t have time to join another club. You have also told me that your goal is to win the Koshien, and I don"t want to disappoint you by joining the club with half-a.s.set feelings since I"ll disrespect you, so I can only say I"m sorry," Shishio said in one breath. He then looked at Raizou and finally said, "Also, if... if I decide to focus on baseball, can you be so sure that I can maintain my scholarship and become a professional baseball player that has enough money to feed my family in the future?"
"I..."
Even though Raizou knew that he wanted Shishio to join the baseball club, he couldn"t force him and heard that Shishio needed to maintain 1st rank to maintain his scholarship, he thought that Shishio"s family"s condition wasn"t good, which somehow gave him a balance that this perfect guy wasn"t so perfect after all, but at the same time, his eyes were red, and he was almost in tears, thinking that Shishio was working hard to study, but he also couldn"t blame Shishio. After all, being a baseball player was gambling.
If someone wanted to become a professional baseball player, they needed to sacrifice their youth, using all of their time to train from morning to night so they would become better. Even so, it didn"t mean that their hard work would be paid since no one could be sure whether they could become a professional baseball player.
Working hard, sacrificing their youth for the entire three years, but even so, they might not get a result.
On the other hand, Shishio could get 1st rank by studying hard and could enter a good university, getting a stable job, which was pretty much the dream of every student in this country.
Even if Raizou was impulsive, he also knew that he couldn"t ask Shishio to bet his youth on baseball. He then sighed and patted Shishio"s shoulders. "Well, study hard then, but if you"re free, how about you visit the baseball club?"
"If I have time, then I"ll visit." Shishio nodded, but whether he would visit it or not in the future, it was a different matter.
Raizou didn"t say much and left since he failed.
Looking at Raizou"s back, Shishio shook his head and thought that he might need to research how people in j.a.pan viewed baseball since if it helped him become a prime minister, then it might be good. Jokes aside, he might try to get to know baseball since he was quite unfamiliar with this sport.
"Shishio, are you studying hard?" Maiko asked curiously.
"Well, I study hard," Shishio answered in a perfunctory matter.
"...." Nana, Mea, and Maiko.
They realized that this guy was lying!
"You"re too bad, Shishio!" Nana laughed hard at this moment.
"Stop! Don"t laugh!" Shishio quickly stopped Nana, who was laughing. "He"s still nearby. What if he hears your words?"
Nana blushed when Shishio"s hand was on his mouth, but then she couldn"t help but smile and lick his palm.
"..."
Shishio thought that he needed to spank this girl"s b.u.t.ts.
"Still, why did you reject his invitation? You might have talent in baseball, you know?" Mea asked curiously.
Nana and Maiko also looked at Shishio curiously.
"I might have a talent, or I might not have a talent, but you should know that by joining the baseball club, my time will be limited. You know that I have four girlfriends, and if I decide to join the baseball club, then I have to spend my morning and night training every day. If I do that, then I might as well break up with all my girlfriends since I don"t have time to spend with you, right?"
"No! Don"t join the baseball club!" Nana hugged him without hesitation, telling him not to join since if Shishio really joined, then he really might not have time to spend with her!
"Okay, okay, I won"t. You don"t need to worry." Shishio patted Nana"s back then whispered, "Don"t forget what you"ve said to me before."
Nana blushed and hammered his chest. "Pervert."
"..."
Shishio wanted to complain about who the pervert was.
Nana offered him a prize, and Shishio naturally asked his prize, wasn"t that natural?
"What do you want?" Nana asked shyly.
Shishio thought for a moment and asked, "It can be anything?"
"Um..." Nana"s face might be tan, but her blush was so noticeable at that moment.
"I"ll save it later, alright?" Shishio wanted to kiss this cute girl, but they were in public, so he couldn"t be noticeable to flirt with Nana.
"Um..."
As for Mea and Maiko, they only hoped that Nana and Shishio would stop flirting in front of them since it was too painful for them to watch it anymore!
With all of that, the Sport Test ended, and after a short break, they started on the next cla.s.s.
---
Right on the break, after Shishio had lunch with his girls, he went to the teacher"s room to give the article that he had written last night. He was about to enter, but he didn"t expect to meet Yukinos.h.i.ta along the way. "Yukinothita-senpai."
Yukinos.h.i.ta looked at Shishio in surprise, but she also greeted him with a light smile. "Oga-kun."
"Are you also going to the teacher"s room?" Shishio asked.
"Yes, I have something to do there." Yukinos.h.i.ta looked at the paper in Shishio"s hands and asked, "What are you going there for? Did you cause trouble?"
"..."
Shishio"s lips twitched, and he asked, "What kind of trouble will I cause?"
"Like entering the girl"s changing room?"
"I"m not that kind of pervert!"
Shishio was able to see his girlfriend"s naked body, so why should he commit a crime?
"So you admit that you"re a pervert? It seems that you need to join the Service Club before you"re caught by the police, Oga-kun," Yukinos.h.i.ta said with a smile. She wondered why she had always been on impulse and tried to taunt him from time to time, but she didn"t really hate this kind of banter between them.
"Senpai... if you like cats so much, why don"t we go to the cat cafe sometimes?" Shishio asked. He knew that Yukinos.h.i.ta wanted him to enter her club sincerely, but he pretended he didn"t see it, thinking that she invited him because she wanted to see a cat photos.
"Eh?"
Yukinos.h.i.ta was stunned when Shishio suddenly invited her to go out to the cat cafe.
Shishio also realized that he invited Yukinos.h.i.ta on a date so naturally. "Sorry, I"d invited you so abruptly without much thought before. Let"s just forget it. But... still, it"s a great place, and I want to show it to you if possible." Still, it wouldn"t be bad to go to the cat cafe together with her.
Yukinos.h.i.ta wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth again since she didn"t know what to say, and she also knew that it was wrong to go out with Shishio, considering he had a girlfriend and all. Still, she didn"t really mind going out with him to see the cat cafe since she was quite curious about it.
"Um, it"s alright."
"You mean, is it alright to go on a date with me?"
"I mean, is it alright to go with you to the cat cafe, and when did you invite me on a date?" Yukinos.h.i.ta looked at Shishio and wondered whether this guy had done this deliberately. "You have a girlfriend, right? Or has my beauty stunned you?"
"...Senpai, has someone told you that you"re so narcissistic?"
"No, this is my first time, but I am cute, right?"
"Well, even that"s true..." Shishio couldn"t deny that this girl was cute. He rubbed his temple and felt strange whenever he talked with this girl.
"See?"
"....." Shishio rolled his eyes.
As they talked, they arrived at the teacher"s office together shortly.
"Let"s talk later since we have arrived at the teacher"s room. You have something to do, right?" Yukinos.h.i.ta said.
Shishio nodded. "See you later, Senpai."
"See you later." Yukinos.h.i.ta nodded and looked at Shishio, who was walking in Kiriya"s direction before she also moved to Hiratsuka, but then she noticed Hiratsuka"s gaze was a bit wrong, especially when Hiratsuka glanced at her and Shishio from time to time, which made her, wondering whether she should move back, right now.
