ตอน 58: 57. Devil Fruit.
"She is Yukinoshita Yukino's sister, right..." he murmured. Shirakawa recognized Uzuki Hana from his past life memories due to her remarkable appearance.
At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino approached with Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana, who seemed a bit dazed.
"Shirakawa-sensei!" Yukinoshita Yukino greeted him, then turned her gaze to Takanashi Rikka, Chitanda Eru, and Hanazono Hakari, who were fighting against Matatabi in the training ground.
"Shirakawa-sensei, why are you at the training ground with Takanashi-san and the others?" Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was as cold and emotionless as ever. However, Shirakawa detected a strange tone, suggesting she resented him for setting up extra classes for Takanashi Rikka and others.
"Ahem, I am the instructor of Takanashi Rikka's club. I am just here to guide their club activities," Shirakawa said innocently, glancing at Yukinoshita Yukino.
As soon as school was over today, Takanashi Rikka and Chitanda Eru had dragged him into the Far Eastern Ninjutsu Society of Summer. Hanazono Hakari had already prepared luxurious snacks, including tea, cakes, biscuits, and even a twin-tailed hammer masseuse. The girls were so attentive that all they wanted in return was more training and guidance. As a teacher, Shirakawa couldn't refuse, so he took them to the training ground and asked Matatabi to train with them for a while.
"Shirakawa-sensei is the instructor of Takanashi Rikka-san's club?" Yukinoshita Yukino was slightly stunned, then immediately fell into deep thought. Letting Mr. Shirakawa serve as the club's instructor meant they could contact him for legitimate reasons after school every day. Why didn't she think of this method? She even wondered if it was too late to replace Hiratsuka-sensei now.
Meanwhile, Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana stared at Shirakawa, filled with emotion.
"The mysterious person who saved us at school this morning was Yukino's class teacher..." For the first time, Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana felt the fate was so wonderful. They recalled the morning's scene, where Shirakawa easily tore apart the terrifying atmosphere created by a dragon-level monster, enveloping them in a huge sense of security.
"Hello, Mr. Shirakawa, I am Yukino's sister, Yukinoshita Haruno," Yukinoshita Haruno greeted, suppressing her excitement.
"Hello, Miss Haruno. I heard Ms. Hiratsuka mention you often, saying you are an outstanding alumna of Shuchi'in," Shirakawa replied with a chuckle.
Yukinoshita Haruno was slightly startled. She suddenly remembered feeling a sense of familiarity when she saw Shirakawa that morning. She had once looked at the list and photos of Shuchi'in's new teachers sent by Hiratsuka Shizuka, which included Shirakawa's photo.
"Hello, Mr. Shirakawa. I am Haruno-senpai's junior. We both are students of Yokohama National University," Uzuki Hana said excitedly.
"Yokohama National University?" Shirakawa glanced at Matatabi in surprise. "So, this morning you..."
"Yes, we were also on the track and field at that time. If it hadn't been for Mr. Shirakawa, we would definitely not be alive right now!" Uzuki Hana's carefree character and her excitement made her even more eye-catching.
"Shirakawa-sensei is our savior," Yukinoshita Haruno nodded.
"It's not that exaggerated. Even if I didn't take action, Matatabi would not have attacked you recklessly," Shirakawa said modestly. However, for Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana, he was indeed their savior. Shirakawa, being her sister's class teacher, deserved proper thanks.
Yukinoshita Haruno was about to speak, but Uzuki Hana beat her to it. "Shirakawa-sensei, do you have time to come to our house for a casual meal? My mother's cooking is delicious."
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Uzuki Hana, who naturally hugged Shirakawa's arm. She understood that sometimes being too cautious was not a good thing.
"Shirakawa-sensei, my sister also wanted to invite you to our house for a meal," Yukinoshita Yukino said, glancing at Uzuki Hana and subconsciously hugging Shirakawa's other arm. She was annoyed that Uzuki Hana, an "outsider," could make such an intimate gesture with Shirakawa-sensei. However, she regretted her own action as soon as she did it, her pretty face blushing slightly.
Yukinoshita Haruno was startled, her expression stunned. How could her usually aloof and indifferent sister take such a proactive action? Watching the scene, she realized the cruel contrast: while one was already close to Shirakawa, the other was still separated by a distance.
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance," Shirakawa coughed slightly and withdrew his arms from the two girls.
"Okay... then Mr. Shirakawa, let's exchange mobile phone numbers!" Uzuki Hana's sparkling eyes were hard to refuse. Shirakawa, Yukinoshita Haruno, and Uzuki Hana exchanged phone numbers.
"Yukinoshita-san, since you're already here, why don't you join Takanashi and the others for training?" Shirakawa suggested to Yukinoshita Yukino. Hearing this, she looked at Uzuki Hana and thought cautiously.
"If my sister is here, she probably won't let her, a senior school girl, mess around with Shirakawa-sensei..." she thought. She nodded, realizing there were not many opportunities to be taught by Shirakawa personally.
In the battle against the subterranean people before, Yukinoshita Yukino and Takanashi Rikka had formed a team. Joining the battle now, there was still some tacit understanding. With her awakened ice release technique, she was the strongest person in the team.
With the cooperation of several women, wind, fire, earth, and ice appeared in the eyes of Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana, who were sitting on the edge of the training ground, filled with shock. The various techniques performed by Yukinoshita Yukino gave them the most intuitive concept of the ability of ninjutsu. Particularly, Yukinoshita Yukino's opponent was the dragon-level monster that had left a deep impression on them that morning.
Yukinoshita Haruno still remembered the suffocating feeling when she was trapped in the shelter and could only resign herself to her fate. But her younger sister, who had followed her since childhood, now had the ability to control her own destiny. For a moment, Yukinoshita Haruno's emotions were extremely complicated.
Yukinoshita Haruno asked tentatively. "Shirakawa-sensei, do you want to be a part-time tutor after school?"
"Ms. Haruno, do you want to learn ninjutsu?" Shirakawa raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously.
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded. With her character, if she had the chance to control her own destiny, she would definitely take it.
Uzuki Hana on the side suddenly became interested. "Shirakawa-sensei, can a girl as old as me still learn ninjutsu?"
Shirakawa glanced at her helplessly. "It has nothing to do with how old you are. Not to mention you, even if you were as old as your mother, you could still learn ninjutsu. But..."
"But what?" The two women looked at Shirakawa nervously. After a pause, Shirakawa explained to them straightforwardly.
"Ninjutsu is a special skill. It is difficult to learn on your own. Unless I guide you throughout the process, your progress will be extremely slow. And I usually have to attend school, so I don't have much time to be a tutor."
When Yukinoshita Haruno and Uzuki Hana heard this, they immediately understood.
"It's okay, Shirakawa-sensei, I'm not afraid of slow progress. I don't have many classes on weekdays, and I have a lot of free time on Saturdays and weekends," Uzuki Hana said persistently.
"If you can accept the slower learning progress, then I will naturally not reject you as a student," Shirakawa said with a chuckle.
When Uzuki Hana heard this, her pretty face suddenly showed an excited smile. "Shirakawa-sensei, please give me more advice in the future! By the way, come directly to my house for the first class the day after tomorrow on Saturday. I'll also ask my mother to cook a meal to thank you."
While talking, Uzuki Hana hugged Shirakawa's arm again. "Then I'll look forward to it," Shirakawa said, not refusing this time.
"By the way, Shirakawa-sensei, how much is the tuition for tutoring?" Uzuki Hana suddenly remembered something and asked nervously. Shirakawa was a teacher at an aristocratic school like Shuchi'in. The price of one class...
"Hmm...5,000 yen an hour," Shirakawa quoted a relatively fair price. Uzuki Hana breathed a sigh of relief. Given her family's conditions, she could still afford it.
"I'll call my mom right now." Uzuki Hana left holding her cell phone.
The beautiful eyes of Yukinoshita Haruno on the side were slightly dim. As the daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita Haruno had received many things, but she had to suffer even more. Yukinoshita Haruno admired her mother very much. As a daughter, she shouldered the competition and pressure from all directions on her own, leading the Yukinoshita family step by step to where they were today. Yukinoshita Haruno knew better than anyone what it took to carry all this; it was unimaginable.
Yukinoshita Haruno thought this was a heavy responsibility that Yukino couldn't bear. So when she was very young, as the eldest daughter of Yukinoshita, she took the initiative to take over the responsibility. This heavy burden made Yukinoshita Haruno learn to live with a mask since she was a child. Even if she was sad, in pain, happy, or distressed, she would not easily reveal it. Everyone around her praised her excellence and regarded her as the successor of the Yukinoshita family. This left her with little personal time. After entering university, this situation worsened. Her usual workload was heavy, and even on her days off, she had to stay in the company and attend to various things, leaving her with hardly any time for herself. Therefore, she did not have the confidence to say the same thing as Uzuki Hana.
"Ms. Haruno... Actually, becoming stronger is not just about learning ninjutsu." At this time, Shirakawa's voice came into her ears.
Yukinoshita Haruno's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she slowly shook her head. She looked at Yukinoshita Yukino in the training ground, and the corners of her mouth formed a somewhat complicated arc. "Shirakawa-sensei, the one who needs to become stronger most is Yukino..."
"Really? Then why do you look so sad?"
Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned for a moment and looked at Shirakawa in surprise. As their eyes met, she felt that everything about her, including the fragility under her mask, was clearly visible to him.
"And, Miss Haruno, did you hear what I just said?"
"What?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked away embarrassedly. When she was lost in thought just now, she hadn't listened to Shirakawa's words.
"I said, becoming stronger is not just about learning ninjutsu..." Immediately, under the stunned gaze of Yukinoshita Haruno, Shirakawa took out a fruit.
"Shirakawa-sensei, what is this?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the flower-like fruit in Shirakawa's hand and asked in shock.
"A faster way to become stronger. A Devil Fruit that allows the eater to gain strange abilities. It is called Hana Hana no Mi."
"Devil Fruit?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the Hana Hana no Mi. Judging from its appearance, it did have a strange aura.
"Will there be any side effects?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked.
"Well, you will be rejected by the sea and unable to swim."
Yukinoshita Haruno was slightly startled. This side effect didn't sound so unacceptable. Moreover, something that could be called a strange ability by a strong man like Shirakawa, who could easily defeat dragon-level monsters, must be extraordinary.
"This kind of thing should be very rare," Yukinoshita Haruno said, a hint of caution in her voice.
When Shirakawa heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In this world, it was currently the only one. Of course, the Devil Fruit was of little use to Shirakawa. He didn't plan to use it for his students either. It was just right for Yukinoshita Haruno's situation. The most important thing was that the Yukinoshita family was rich.
"It's not expensive, just 100 million yen!" Shirakawa said softly.
