Kapitel 40: A transfer student...?

Days have passed...

Adam was currently sitting in class, waiting for the teacher to enter so she could start this lesson

'Why am I going to school?'

He sighed, bored out of his mind. School isn't helpful at all in this situation, he has more knowledge than everyone here

Even worse, this school isn't supernatural, and neither is it a place where hidden overpowered heroines attend, waiting to be conquered

Well, that last one isn't really accurate, but it is only limited to Raiden Mei and Kiana

"Class, we have a new transfer student today" The beautiful teacher interrupted his thoughts

He wasn't using thought acceleration, as there wasn't a point

... Sometimes he also wonders why he is still a virgin in this life. There are so many beautiful girls in this world, and a bunch of them actively throw themselves at him, but he always ends up rejecting them

'Maybe because I know the protagonists are a lot more beautiful?' Adam questioned himself

This was no lie, Kiana and Mei in real life were a lot more beautiful compared to their 2d counterparts, this makes him wonder how others will look like

He now wants to see Rita.... Or even Elysia and Eden

.... Loli Bianka doesn't count, by the way

But still, maybe it was because his hormones were still developing, and he was always worrying about his future and the danger he is in, so much so that he didn't have time for relationships, sexual or otherwise

His thoughts were interrupted once again when the door opened

Adam's eyes widened in surprise as he saw who came in

It was a beautiful girl of European descent, she had snow white hair and blue eyes. And her face was adorned with a bright smile that seemed to illuminate the classroom

"You can introduce yourself" The teacher beckoned the girl

"Hello! I'm Kiana Kaslana! Please take care of me!" She introduced herself enthusiastically, a bright smile still on her face

"Kyaa!"

"So cute!"

"Beautiful..."

"Kiana! Please be my girlfriend!"

Ignoring the last one that came from a girl, Adam blankly stared at Kiana

"Kiana-san, is there a specific place where you would like to sit for the rest of this semester?" The teacher asked the transfer student

"Hmm..." Her expression was thoughtful as she looked around the classroom for a suitable spot

"Oh!" Her eyes lit up as she spotted Adam, but they dimmed a little after seeing that someone else occupied the seat next to him

But as a Kaslana, she was not one to give up! So after seeing the seat next to her friend (Sugar Daddy) was occupied, she settled for the next best thing

"I will sit here!" She announced to the whole class as she sat at the seat that was in the desk in front of Adam

He once again blankly stared at Kiana in front of him

The warrior turned around and looked at him with her blue eyes radiating pride, she even had a smug smile on her face

His eyebrows twitched after seeing that

'Why did she get so smug all of a sudden?' He questioned himself internally

Not only did this girl suddenly pop up in this classroom without any notice, but she also dared to sit in front him and get smug all about it

"Now that this matter is done, let's start the lesson" The teacher said before the class turned to normal again

...

Adam exited the classroom as usual.... But this time, two beautiful girls followed him

These two were Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei respectively

"Kiana, why and how are you here?" He asked in exasperation, not knowing how a tuna like Kiana could enroll to such a prestigious school like Chiba academy

The warrior tilted her head cutely "Eh? What do you mean Adam-senpai? I said that I will come to this school, and that's what I did!" She said innocently, as if that would answer everything

Adam took a deep breath 'Did that bastard Otto enroll her here?' He thought grimly

"Eto... Adam, who is she?" A gentle voice sounded besides him

When he turned his head, he saw Mei with the 'sweetest' smile he had ever seen on her face, but a look at her cold eyes would certainly make one know that was not a genuine smile

"Haah, She is-"

"Hello! I'm Kiana Kaslana! Nice to meet you!" The hidden Herscher interrupted him as she went right in front of Mei's face and introduced herself with a bright smile

"Ah..." Mei looked dumbfounded at the girl's cheerfulness

"Nice to meet you Kiana-chan, I'm Raiden Mei" The other yet to be awakened Herscher introduced herself with a gentle smile, completely opposite of her previous attitude

'I guess not even Mei can resist Kiana's cheerfulness and cuteness' he lamented at the young Kaslana's abilities to make anyone feel better with her presence alonel

"Now that introductions are over, shall we go and eat?" He interrupted the two

"Yes! Let's go!" Kiana's eyes lit up once again at the mention of food

Before she went and ran, he grabbed her by the shoulders "Wait, did you bring a bento with you?" He asked her sternly

Kiana, much to her chagrin, blushed in embarrassment "I-I didn't..." She said dejectedly as she hung her head down

"Haah, you...." Adam didn't know what to say

... So he just delivered a chop to her forehead

"Ouch-!" Kiana flinched

"Mou Adam-senpai, stop doing that!" She pouted as she stomped her feet on the floor, unaffected by his hit

That doesn't surprise him much, she can punch honkai beasts bare handed, and come out the winner. There is also the fact that he didn't use much strength, he only used the strength of a normal human

"Fine... You can eat my bento today" He offered as he sighed

"Really?!" She asked surprised, her eyes sending him the 'puppy dog eyes' look

"Yes"

"Yay! Thank you!" She shouted in joy as she unexpectedly hugged him

Adam just chuckled as he reciprocated her hug and patted her head

'Kiana is really easy to please...' He inwardly said in his heart, although he supposes being a a half baked MANTIS, a Herscher, and having the skill [Chosen one] does partly help him

"... Kiana-chan, what is your relationship with Adam?" Mei asked, genuinely curious

"Hm..." She put her hand under her chin and let out as she stopped hugging him

"Well, I live together with Adam-senpai!" The aforementioned warrior exclaimed confidently, as if seeing nothing wrong with it

"Are you.... Siblings?" The purplish haired girl blinked and tentatively asked with a conflicted expression on her face

Adam's mouth twitched at her question

Although it doesn't surprise him, both he and the Kaslana have white hair and blue eyes. Of course, his hair leans more to glistening silver than Kiana's snow white, and his eyes are glowing blue compared to her oceanic blue

… Although his current hair color is blonde as he didn't want to attract attention to himself with a sudden change in hair color. But Mei shouldn't know that

"No, we are not" He replied in Kiana's stead before she could say something stupid

"Then...?" She let out as she looked even more confused and bewildered by his answer

"Are you.... A couple?" Mei asked in a low and soft voice while her eyes darted between the two of them

But that same voice sent shivers down Adam's spine

"We live in the same house, and Adam-senpai cooks for me" Kiana stated as she nodded

"So... That should mean that we are a couple" She continued in a normal tone of voice

"Is that so...." Mei said in a whisper as she clenched her fists

Was it just him, or did her eyes flash violet for a second?

"Wait- Mei, this tuna doesn't know what she is talking about" He tried to redeem himself as Kiana started pouting at the name he gave her

"Really, Adam-kun....?" The indigo eyed girl humored him with a 'gentle' smile, as she went back to calling him with a '-kun'

...

"I'm sorry for misunderstanding the relationship between the two of you. Please forgive me, I don't know what came over me" Mei bowed slightly to the two of them as she apologized sincerely

With Kiana's permission, he had explained the white haired girl's circumstances to her

"It's alright. A boy and a girl living together- it is easy to misunderstand, so I don't blame you" Adam reassured her

He knew that her unexpectedly intense reaction was due to the Herscher personality inside her that was slowly awakening. Which meant that the 3rd honkai eruption was close

"Thank you, Adam" Mei thanked him as she sent a beautiful smile towards him

"That said, you can visit us anytime you want. The male dormitory is quite empty, so it would be nice to have more company" He said suddenly, surprising her

"Eh-! Really?" She let out as her eyes widened. Ever since her father was imprisoned, the house she was living became lonely and empty, so she was obviously surprised by his offer

"Of course Mei-senpai! Adam-senpai's friends are my friends!" Kiana chimed in from the side with her ever present cheerful smile

"The more, the merrier, right?" He continued after Kiana

"Ah, of course..."

Mei once again smiled genuinely, whether it was from their interactions or from finally finding true friends, only she knows

"Adam-senpai, Mei-senpai, can we eat now? I'm hungry!"

And so, the three of them went to the cafeteria
