Chương 72: #72 Near Indecent Incident

"That reminds me of something I was meaning to ask Chabashira-sensei but every time I spoke with sensei I forgot." I said without lowering my voice and I noticed how the vixen directed her attention to me.

"Hm? What is it?" Sae-chan's buried head in the towel raised up when she heard me. I saw that her expression was the casual one she usually wore but there were still bits of red left on her cheeks even when she tried to hide it.

"I heard that the one who is the part of any club can earn bonus points by representing the school in the tournaments." I said with a crescent smile.

"...Yes, that's the truth. Why do you ask?" She asked me back with a slightly uneasy expression when she noticed my smile.

"I wonder how many points it is. If it is the specified amount of points and if the one even wins the tournament if there are any bonuses. Of course, if there is also something as an MVP bonus."

"Everything depends on your contribution but if our school wins the tournament thanks to you then you will naturally receive a lot of points. It also depends on what type of tournament it is, there are Regional championship, National championship, International championship but our school can forget about the International championship because we can be glad when we rarely get a chance to compete in the National championship. Why are you asking, Felix-kun?" Hoshinomiya-sensei was the one who explained this to me when she heard what I was interested in, she also had disappointed expression when she mentioned our school's capabilities regarding the sports.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, Walker-kun used to train in the Kendo, maybe he would like to join the Kendo club. Oh! I am sorry for running my mouth, Walker-kun!" Ichinose proudly said to her homeroom teacher but she quickly realized that what she has done was pretty rude so she quickly bowed to me and I just waved my hand to show her that It's ok.

"Oho? How do you know that information, Honami-chan?" She asked back with a teasing tone and even Sae-chan looked at me and then at Ichinose.

"He told me not too long ago" She answered with a smile, she was totally clueless about her teacher's teasing.

"I see, well, let's see...The sports like basketball get many more points but that's because it's a team sport while Kendo indeed has a team but it is more focused on individuals but that also has its advantages. If you are the best among the team then you get much bigger bonuses than in the basketball where it's harder to decide who was the best player. What? Is Felix-kun thinking about joining in?" Hoshinomiya-sensei continued her explanation with a relatively serious expression and then asked me with a playful smile.

My respect for her slightly rose due to her clear explanation without any stupid jokes. I guess she just likes to be free.

"That depends on how much points I can make out of it. How many points will I get for winning the Regional championship for the school?" I asked with an indifferent expression.

"Oho, you are pretty confident. Let's see...if you were to win the Reginal one then you would receive at least 100.000 points, of course, there would be other bonuses and you also get points for every tournament that advances our school's rank." She explained with an amused expression.

Too low.

"How about the International one?" I completely disregarded the Regional one and also skipped the National one.

"Huh?" Even Sae-chan, who knew a few things about my abilities appeared to be surprised by my disinterest.

"What? Felix-kun, aren't you too arrogant? There are a lot of skilled people in the world, many geniuses. What gives you the confidence?" Hoshinomiya-sensei looked at me with a doubtful expression.

*sigh* I just want to know the reward. I inwardly complained but in the end, I just sighed and turned around to show them my back to show them that I didn't "practice kendo" just light-heartedly.

I didn't hear anyone taking a sharp breath which didn't surprise me, after all, both of them are already mature women.

I turned around once again to face them and even though there was no sound coming from them, they still had a shocked expression on their faces nonetheless.

"Hauu, Felix-kun, my child, were you perhaps abused in the past?! Let sensei give you a comforting hug!" Hoshinomiya-sensei immediately looked at me with a sad expression and tried to get up from the lounger to hug me.

Ugh, no thank you. I wanted to say with a smile but my smile immediately disappeared when I noticed the strings of her bikini untied, perhaps it was done by Ichinose who was applying sunscreen on her back.

"Ichinose-san! STOP HER!" I immediately shouted and pointed at the untied strings.

"Huh?" Ichinose seemed surprised by my commanding shout but she still followed what I've said and stopped her from getting up by sitting on her back.

"Ouch! Why, Honami-chan?" She immediately questioned Ichinose's actions but before she could explain, Sae-chan looked at the situation and also spotted the problem.

"What the hell, Chie-chan?! Your top is untied! For the love of God, be more careful when there are students around!" Sae-chan immediately scolded her friend with an angry expression.

"Oh? Oops, hehe, Felix-kun has almost seen me!" She blushed a bit but it was apparent that she was just joking.

"This is not a joke! What would you do if Ichinose didn't stop you?!" Sae-chan scolded her again when she saw her amused expression.

"Oh, come on, Sae-chan. Do you really think that he has never seen a naked woman? In today's society, the boys of his age tend to be already experienced." She was done with her facade and complained to Sae-chan with a tired expression.

"You-!" Sae-chan wanted to say more but she instead looked at me with her sharp eyes but I just looked back at her with a confused expression and shook my head with a sigh.

Ichinose who listened to their conversation was already beet red and had a problem raising her head.

I guess it will be better if I quickly finish my business here and leave. I can ask for details about the tournaments later.

I continued applying the sunscreen on Sae-chan's legs, I started from the lowest point and slowly went up but I stopped because I was relatively near the danger zone. It's not like I wouldn't be able to control myself, my self-restraint is pretty good when it comes to these things but I wouldn't want her to freak out right here, next to that vixen.

"Alright, I think I am do-" I wanted to inform her that I was done and wanted to leave but I was interrupted by a distant voice.

"Walker-kun!"

----(Kei's POV)----

Finally, everyone left the changing room and I am able to change the clothes.

I quickly changed into my red bikini, I've bought when I was shopping together with Felix. He seemed to like it so I couldn't help myself but buy them.

When I was done changing I looked at my reflection in the mirror and the first thing I've spotted was a big scar on the right side of my torso. My expression immediately changed to a sad one.

Was what he said the truth? Does he really not care a bit about this scar? I couldn't help but touch my ugly scar with a sad expression yet deep inside, I also felt rage. I haven't felt like that before...I always thought that it was just my own fault for being bullied, I have never felt rage like this.

That reminds me of what he said before: 'Do you still remember their faces, names and any additional information?'

He said this with such cold tone, that it almost felt like he wanted to kill them but anyone can speak like that in the heat of the moment...but...his eyes. People can fake their tone, however, there is no way they can change their eyes. If I hadn't known that he would absolutely not hurt me, I would be extremely scared at that moment.

If he would really want to kill them...How would I feel? No, no! I can't think like that, if he would really do that for me, he would be pursued by the law. I quickly shook my head to get rid of these thoughts.

'Is this the "big" secret you are hiding?'

'Nah, that scar looks beautiful to me, at least it shows that you can endure tough situations'

I couldn't help but remember his words when we first talked it out around the campfire during the survival test. He said all of that with a genuine smile, not even a bit of disgust in his eyes.

Even when he abruptly rolled up my shirt and saw my scar for the first time, he didn't look shocked or disgusted even for a small moment. The biggest and genuine reaction is always during the first sight and I believe no one can fake that.

...Maybe he really doesn't care but even if he doesn't care how big chance do I have compared to other beautiful girls? Thankfully, he isn't the person to start the conversation, therefore, even if he is handsome a very few girls will come to him on their own. And he is also usually indifferent when he talks to strangers so that might also discourage a few girls. He, himself doesn't look like he is interested in anyone, my biggest rival is probably Matsushita.

Alright, I should stop thinking about those things with my scar exposed, anyone could walk in any time. I quickly took my shirt I prepared beforehand and wore it.

When I arrived at the place where our class was supposed to meet, everyone was there but I couldn't spot Felix among them.

"What do you think happened to him?"

"Do you think he was abused or bullied?"

"Are you stupid? With his physique? There is no way that he would be bullied, it's already more believable that it's from his training."

It was pretty noisy and a lot of people were arguing so I asked my friends what was going on and I quickly understood the entire situation.

"Hirata-kun, I will go look for Walker-kun since everyone is already here." I said and he simply nodded at me with a smile, I noticed that he was also doing his best to stop anyone who spoke any ill words about Felix. He was doing a good job of calming them down.

I heard that Felix went to the second section so I hurried there but when I got there I couldn't believe my own eyes what I saw before me.

Why is he helping Chabashira-sensei apply the sunscreen on her back?! That's what I wanted to ask him to do for me!

I couldn't help but remember the scene where I've seen them together in the restaurant on that luxurious cruise. It can't be...no, she is at least 10 years older than him. I will ask him later but now I have to get him away from here.

"Walker-kun!" I shouted and started waving at him with a natural smile on my face.

----(Kei's POV END)----

When I turned around to look who was calling my name, I already knew that there was another trouble incoming when I've seen her smile.
