章節 22: Training
(Ryoto's pov)
I woke up once again next to Lala. I got accustomed to sleeping with her after all these months. I got up without waking her up and got to her lab, where Kowalski worked on something.
Ryoto: "Is there any progress?"
Kowalski: "Actually, there is. I managed to finish it tonight! Thanks to Lala-dono's technology and her knowledge, I was able to create this!"
He showed me a small device with two buttons that could fit in my pocket.
Some time ago, I asked Kowalski to create something that would block my spider-sense. I didn't progress with my Kenbunshoku Haki, so I decided to block out my sight and spider-sense to try and sense things with just my Haki. While this method can be dangerous, if it'll work, I could sense danger before it comes or even see a few seconds into the future, so I would say it's worth it.
Kowalski: "Just push the green button to turn it on and red to turn off."
Simplicity at its finest.
Now that I'm done with it, I woke up Lala, ate breakfast with Mikan and Rito, and went to school as usual. Ok, not as usual since I turned on the device, and surprisingly it worked as intended. I asked Lala to punch me while I couldn't see her, and I didn't get any tingling sensation in the back of my head.
I wasn't optimistic about it since it was Kowalski's invention, but my opinion about him raised a bit. I also wore a blindfold to increase the effectiveness of my training. Lala needed to help me navigate during the day.
Lala: "So why are you doing this, Ryoto?"
Ryoto: "I'm training certain techniques, and for that, I need to shut off some of my senses. If I succeed, then it will help me out a lot in the future."
Lala: "And what will you be able to do?"
Ryoto: "Generally, sense the presence strength and emotions."
Lala: "That's amazing! Then you'll be able to sense how much I like you!"
I patted her head or at least tried and failed.
Ryoto: "Can you lead my hand on top of your head?"
Lala: "Sure!"
When my hand touched her head, I said.
Ryoto: "I don't need that technique to know that. Your actions speak for themselves."
Karen: "Smooth."
'Shut it, Karen, I'm trying to have a moment.'
I showed my best smile. Seeing this, Lala tackled me, and I couldn't react to it, so I ended up on the ground with Lala hugging me.
Lala: "Ryoto!!!"
Ryoto: "Lala, you're crushing me..."
She let me go, helped me stand, and resumed our way to school.
Our first-class was Japanese today, and as soon as I sat myself down at my desk, I was surrounded... I think. I heard some movement, and being aware of how I looked, I assumed they came running to me.
Risa: "Ryoto!? What happened to you!?"
Mio: "Yeah, did something happen to your eyes!?"
Haruna: "Are you alright?"
Ren: "Don't worry, aniki, even without your eyesight, you're the manliest man I've ever met."
I felt as if Ren gave me thumbs up. I would give him a 'are you serious'
look if I could, but I didn't even need to since the girls did it.
Ren: "What?"
Before things could escalate, I stopped them.
Ryoto: "Calm down, nothing happened to me. I'm just training."
Risa: "Why are you training, and why are you blindfolded then?"
Ryoto: "...Hobby, and I'm trying to be aware without my sight."
Risa: "...Your chunni phase came a little late."
Ryoto: "You saw me jumping out of the window, climbing up to the roof, and jumping 3-4 meters up on the roof of the sea house when we were at the beach. Yeah, this training seems a little bit of a stretch."

Risa: "Haha, very funny."
Ryoto: "Hilarious even, but that's not the point. The point is I'm basically blind today, maybe also tomorrow. I don't know how long I'll keep this up, at least at school."
Risa: "Well, have fun with that."
Ryoto: "Don't worry, I will."
I also heard Ren muttering something.
Ren: "So cool..."
If I could see, I probably would be able to see stars in his eyes.
All that while Rito was looking at Ren strangely while he tried to get closer to Lala.
The day went on as usual. The teacher had some questions about my blindfold, but I faked crying a bit, and they didn't say anything more.
Between the classes, I tried to navigate without anyone's help. I failed miserably and walked into a desk a few times. Not the same one, but it doesn't make it better. Roda laughed at my misfortune a bit, and Haruna seemed worried. Rito, already accustomed to my weird actions, doesn't even bat an eye, but he reacted when Ren thanked Haruna and gave her back a washed handkerchief from what I've heard. Jealousy, my little brother, is an awful trait to have, but I'm not one to say it.
When school ended, I started walking out of the class as I was beginning to have an idea of where everything was. I would still bump into people if they didn't avoid me, but that's progress... I think.
As I was going through the hallway as other students whispered about me walking with a blindfold, someone called me.
Yui: "Ryoto Yuuki!"
Oh great, someone I hoped to run into today just appeared. I turned in the direction from where the voice came and gave my best smile.
Ryoto: "Why, hello there, Kotegawa-san. Nice to see you today."
She didn't answer me, so I assumed she raised her eyebrow.
Ryoto: "I meant to say hear, nice to hear you today. How can I help you?"
Yui: "I heard that someone was walking in school with a blindfold on, so I, as the student committee member, needed to look into it, and of course, you are the culprit as always."
Ryoto: "Hey, I'm not always in the center of trouble!"
Yui: "Sure, and you dancing shamelessly in front of the bathroom, jumping out of the window from what I've heard, lifting up girls in swimsuit and running away before giving me an explanation or listening to me reprimanding you and right now you wear blindfold putting in danger not only you but other students. I'm not even going to start how you disrespect teachers by not focusing on their lessons. I may or may not forget something, but this list shows you how big of a troublemaker you are!"
She extended her arm and pointed at me as she yelled it. Do I need to deal with it right now?
Ryoto: "Ok, we established that I draw problems to myself-"
Yui: "Create..."
Her arms were crossed under her breast, and she started tapping her foot.
Ryoto: "Ok, I may have done some troublesome things, but what do you want from me now?"
Yui: "I'm talking about it!"
I think she waved her hand a bit since I heard some whooshing.
Karen: "She may be even dumber than you."
True, I would call it a certified bruh moment.
Yui realized her mistake and corrected herself.
Yui: "I mean your blindfold."
She sounded defeated.
Ryoto: "Stylish, I know."
There was a short silence after my comment, and I broke it as it wasn't much fun without seeing the reaction.
Ryoto: "As much as I would love to oblige, I cant remove the blindfold today."
Yui: "Huh!?"
Ryoto: "You can try and take it off if you want."
She didn't even hesitate and went straight for the cloth covering my eyes, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't take it off. I think she couldn't believe it, so I just gave her an 'I told you so' look. I could pull it off thanks to the same clinging ability that lets me crawl walls.
Ren: "Aniki!!! I have a favor to ask!!!"
Ren ran towards Yui and me. Yui did not like what's she saw and attacked(?) Ren.
Yui: "No running in the hallways!!!"
I heard some things, and the next thing I felt was something soft on my mouth while someone tackled me down. Predicting what that was, I pushed away from the one who tackled me, took off the blindfold, turned off the device, crushed it, and turned towards Ren, who accidentally kissed me.
Ren: "A-aniki, I didn't mean to!"
Ren started panicking, but I already knew what I would do, and peace was never an option. I webbed Ren to the ceiling. All of his limbs are stuck by the web, so he would not be able to escape before the web dissolves or someone powerful helps him. I didn't forget to web his mouth as well just because.
I left the crime scene, dumbfounded Yui and the victim on the ceiling with a bad taste in my mouth.
