บท 50: Banquet with maya
The next day, hideo woke up and ate his breakfast. He explained what happened and how he got out. This middle aged man started to cry tears off joy as he hugs hideo.
Recently, they have learned that there were a lot of kids who were rescued by an unknown person. Hideo using that as a way to explain what happened told his shishou that he used the opportunity to run away from there. Its been a week since he got out of that hell hole, so for his shishou it made sense that hideo made it all the way here using his magic to run.
Hideo is now in his own room and waiting for maya and the others, wanting to surprise them he told his teacher to introduce him as a "new" student.
Soon maya and the others went inside their learning room. Maya is still depressed about hideo and worried about his whereabouts. She has been trying to get her family to look for hideo, but it seems like they weren't able to do so. They were able to learn about a mysterious guy rescuing a lot of children, but they weren't able to find hideo among the rescued ones, making maya sad and more depressed. Due to this she wasn't able to focus on her magic.
"Ahem! Everyone! We have a new student that I would like to introduce!"
"Hey, shishou! What about hideo! Aren't you only accepting three students? Are you planning to give up on him?" Maya said angrily
"Calm down maya chan, shishou won't give up on hideo kun!" Miya said cheerfully.
Kouichi nodded in agreement as he, himself doesn't want hideo to be left alone.
"Ahem, come in!"
Hideo went inside, maya looks at him with stupor as tears starts to drip down her eyes. She gets up from her sit and hugged hideo as she cried loudly, her head rested on his shoulder.
"Waaaah! I missed you so much!"
Miya and kouichi got up and started to cry as well.
"Yosh! Yosh! Calm down maya, I'm more glad that you are safe as well!" Hideo said as he rubs maya's back.
"Ehem! Go back to your seat now. We are starting our lesson!"
They got back to their seat as for maya she decided to sit beside hideo. As she rest her head on him.
A/n: I forgot to mention, they are sitting on the floor with the table in front of them.
"Hideo kun! My family wants to thank you for saving me. Can you come to my house this weekend?" She said while resting her head on hideo.
"Yes, I would like to" hideo said then kissed her on the cheek not being able to resist the urge to.
Maya blushed as she looks down.
"Hey, you two! Listen to my lessons!" Their shishou said angrily, but he has a smile on his face.
Soon, the lesson ended, they decided to start their training while retsu guides them. Hideo was anxious that he might not be able to do it as he hasn't done it himself, but as he tried to use various techniques that is inside of his head. He was able to do it surprisingly smoothly.
He did so as he throws a fireball towards the target.
Time passed by, kudou retsu left them alone. They decided to have a practice match. Deciding who goes first by rock-paper-scissors. It was hideo versus kouichi at first.
"Hehe, you better have improved, since this past few weeks I have been improving nonstop" kouichi said while jumping up and down.
A/n: oh, I forgot to mention since he took the healing potion his body went back to his normal one not the experimented one.
"Don't worry, I will give it my all" hideo said then started to gather his magic on both of his hand as he hids the other.
Kouichi grinned as he knew what hideo was planning.
Hideo dashed forward at him as he target his face with a vibration magic to make him get knocked out. Kouichi dodges it and attempted to punch hideo on the face but failed as he lost his balance.
"Uwaa~h! You got me!" He said while laying down.
Hideo reach his hand on him. Kouichi grabs it then got up.
"Hahaha! I thought you were gonna use your other hand to counter my counter, but you got me!" He said as he looks at the hole on the ground that hideo made with his other hand.
Soon, it was miya and maya's turn. Hideo won against all of them.
"Haa! Haa! Haa~~~! We still can't win against you" maya said with a smile
"Shishou taught me earlier than you three, so If you work harder you will naturally surpass me as you three are more talented than me." hideo said then patted her head as he really believes what he said to them. He only won, by cleverly utilizing the magics that he used and his combat experience. If he didn't got his memory back he might have lost completely.
"We got to go home now! Goodbye! Hideo!" Kouichi said as he noticed the time. Maya sneakily kissed him on the cheek then said goodbye.
'That girl' hideo muttered then went to check the new function.
"Status!" He muttered then suddenly a panel looking thingy showed up in front of him as if imprinted on his eyes.
He checked it and saw that his stats gone up significantly since the last time he checked it after training the breathing technique.

———————————————————————
A/n: from this point it's hideo's pov.
It seems like my magic power is pretty low I bet maya, miya and kouichi will have more than me later on.
Lust? Why would it be in my status? I thought, but threw it at the back of my head. I look at the plus sign thingy and tap it.
"Add one points for 100,000 coins"
I frowned as I look at how expensive it is as I need my coins for skills.
I look through the store and decided to bought a skill that will allow me to sense my surrounding as it's the only thing I needed that is available, i needed to buy something related to mahouka, but it's not available.
Activating it I sensed every movement of the tree as its leaves fall down the ground. I was originally gonna buy it back then, but I couldn't find it.
'Such a useful skill!' I praised in my mind and started to look through the internet. It seems like the incident a week ago has already been in the news.
Why haven't the government dealt with those guys? Are they powerless? This thoughts run through my mind as I read the article
In a room two middle aged men are talking to each other.
"Do you want to deal with them, now?" A middle aged man said as his head rest on his hand
"Yes! I want you to deal with the kunlunfang" kudou retsu said, anger visible in his expression.
"Retsu dono, the thing is we are too busy keeping the government's power over the great ten families. If we became less powerful than this, we would lose our power and we would not be able to reign over this country to keep the peace."
Kudou retsu sighed
"I know you want to maintain the balance, but if we keep looking down to dahan's we will get the end of the stick instead! All I want is for you to deal with the kunlunfang institute." Retsu said surprisingly calm.
"If we declare a war against kunlunfang institute. The dahan's won't stay quiet and we might engage in a war! Don't let your emotion play with you, think calmly!"
"So, we can't do anything, huh?"
"Umu, by the way we were informed that the experiment they conducting to the kidnapped kids were special as it will make you maintain your youth! This are the documents and the side effects of it. If hideo has this kind of side effects please do tell me"
"Surgery of perpetual youth magic, huh?" He said as read the files
"Mmmm! So all I need to do is, observe if he will grow up or not"
"Yes, if you found that his growth is significantly slower than your other disciples. Come to me quickly as we need to know how they made this magic"
Retsu nodded then left.
"And retsu, don't think of going by yourself to fight against kunfunlang" he said making retsu stop.
Retsu looks back
"Don't worry I won't be reckless enough to do that!"
"Good!"
Time passed by, I'm dressing up for the upcoming occasion.
I look at the mirror as I look at my original face. Can I make myself more handsome?
I open my stats then got tempted to spend 100,000 for appearance.
I shook my head then went outside and got meet by a luxurious limousine.
"Now, look at my son. You look so good!" Retsu praised as he arranged my tie.
"Thank you dad!" I said 'dad' in the memory I would call retsu shishou when maya and the others are around. When I remembered that I called him 'shishou' when I came back I felt like I made a mistake.
"Good boy" retsu patted my head
I went inside the limousine as I admire how high tech it was.
I tried to touch some things, but was stopped by my 'dad'.
Soon, we arrived at the banquet.
'It seems like it's a pretty big one" i thought as I saw people who are wearing fancy clothing going in the house.
I walked towards the house then met with glances.
It seems like they are surprised to see retsu here as I could hear them talk about him.
"Hideo kun!"
Hearing a yell coming in front of me I was met with a hug by maya just before he go inside the room.
"So, this is hideo, huh?" Maya's father said
"Yes, dad he saved me from the kidnappers!"
"Ara, so this is hideo kun!" His mother said then bowed at hideo thanking him.
"Thank you for sacrificing yourself to save my daughter!"
He really likes his clan, huh? He is fitting to be the first head of the yotsuba family.
"Ya-ya! It was my honor to save the person I like!" I said then look at maya who is blushing
'This smooth guy!' Maya's father, genzou thought.
"Let's go inside the room!" Maya's mother, yasuyo invited them inside.
I got inside and then got announced to be a protector of their daughter as they thank me in front of the crowd.
After the party I was called by genzou to talk in private.
"As you may know, my daughter is engaged with kouichi."
Hideo nodded
"I know my daughter really loves you and she has been convincing me to break the engagement with kouichi, but due to the family pushing me to marry off maya to kouichi while miya will be married to shiba tatsurou. To be honest with you I can't marry maya to you as the family decided so."
I was shocked for a moment, but knew that it was impossible to marry maya without having any background.
"I love maya and I want to marry her. I want to be able to live with her. As a proof I will become the greatest magician this world has ever seen!" I declared making genzou laugh.
With the system I could be the greatest magician in this world
"Hahahaha, good luck kid! Since, I don't want my daughter to have an unhappy married life as well"
"Leave it to me!"
Hideo went home and started to find a way to be stronger on magic.
His knowledge is limited as he is not like tatsuya.
"System, is there anything in the store that can help me improve my magic?"
"There is none as host just checked it recently"
A few years passed by, hideo is now attending a high school. He has been training relentlessly as he try to keep up with maya and the other's progress.
"Hideo kun! Let's go to school together!" Maya said while standing in front of a car as she waves her hand.
"Good morning maya chan!" I said as I stopped in front of her.
"Good morning!" Maya said cutely.
'Damn! Maya in a high school uniform!' Hideo thought as he was a fan of her.
Maya was still ignorant about the fact that her engagement with kouichi hasn't been removed.
We said goodbye to shishou then went inside the car
A/n: continuation tomorrow!
