章節 59: A month has passed
(Ryoto's pov)
The next day Karma tried his luck with assassination, but he couldn't even scratch him, and the day after, it wasn't any different, but he seemed to change after that day. I don't know. I wasn't that interested in his character development. What I was interested in was home economics. My cooking skills are slowly improving, which I'm happy about.
Rio and Kaede didn't want to leave me alone and always talked to me. I still had some alone time, it's not like they were with me 24/7, but I didn't feel like I was alone at school. I'm starting to get used to their presence. We also went to some cafes to eat sweets. Kaede likes sweets. Maybe I should learn how to make cake or pudding as thanks for keeping me company.
It was calm for the next month, only some minor assassination attempts like Manami Okuma's poisoning attempt. My training with sensei continued as usual. I finally could somehow fire bend without anger to power it up. I don't know how he could help me with that, but he did. My water bending improved as well.
Apparently, Koro-sensei studied the martial arts used by my two bending styles, and he didn't just read it on the internet, no. He flew to the master of the respective martial art, studied their training in secret, and at the end wrapped them in his tentacles to feel out their muscles and joints. How do I know it? He told me that, plus showed the masters' manuals for him with their autographs.
For now, we are focusing on bending. I want to be at least at an acceptable level before I start training something else.
I feel like this month helped me to stabilize my psychological state. I still missed everyone at home, but I'll return after a while, so I took it easy for now. Not in the training, of course.
I become great friends with Karma. We shared our interest in messing with people. I started enjoying it in this world since I can't remember doing it too much at home. Maybe it helped me cope a bit.
Besides training with Koro-sensei, I still came to regular PE classes. What was unexpected, from time to time, Karasuma took us on grocery shopping during the lessons, and we were supposed to buy things on sale. The government provided the funds to it, and we could keep the stuff we bought. I was ecstatic. Thanks to that, I could save a lot of money, but how did Karasuma convince the higher-ups to give some additional funds. I asked him about it together with Karma. He refused to answer, so we immediately knew it was something embarrassing.
Yuma is traumatized, by the way. Every time we have training in the store, he starts shaking uncontrollably. I saw him sucking his thumb once. An ikemen reduced to this.
Terasaka was still grumpy and angry, but he didn't try anything with me. One time I scared him by simply saying 'boo' while standing behind him. It was fun.
After some time, Rio asked me for my phone number, but I noticed that I didn't have a phone. I was too busy being depressed to notice. The day after that, I wanted to go and buy one, but I got a package on the morning of the next day. Inside was a new phone with the note 'Sorry, I forgot. Truck-San'. It was nice of her to send me one even if she didn't need to. Why couldn't I get her as a system?
Now that I think about it, Karen didn't talk with me too often. She said that she spoke with her psychologist, and he advised her against interacting with me as much as possible to help my therapy. Karen said that she got paid vacation and only needed to be at her job sometimes. Of course, during an emergency, she would still answer me. She had a baby audio monitor to hear me. I don't know how to feel about it, but if it works, then who am I to judge.
During this month, Karma was very curious about my eyes and not only asked but also tested for himself what I could and couldn't do. I would probably do the same, but it was annoying, so I 'fought' back. We annoyed each other for some time. Now that I think about it, we became friends after this confrontation. We sometimes exchange ideas on how to piss off Terasaka. Karma is very creative with the usage of his tools, not gonna lie. I mean, who would have thought about using paperclips that way.
As I was acquainted with Karma, Nagisa naturally came next. I could sympathize with him a bit, and it was fun to mess with him at times, but we aren't close or anything like that.
Right now, we were sitting in the classroom waiting for the lesson to begin. The first to come was annoyed Karasuma, and after him was Koro-sensei, whose tentacle is being hugged by a fair-skinned young woman with wavy half-length light blonde hair. Her eyes were light blue, and she was clearly a foreigner. Her most noticeable trait was pair of her big boobs.
Tadaomi: "The school's intention is to fully immerse the students in a foreign language. I assume there are no problems with her taking charge of half the English class?"
Karasuma asked Koro-sensei, who obviously didn't mind that at all.
Ryoto: "Хорошая игра." (Nice acting.)
Hearing familiar language, Irina widened her eyes. After all, she didn't expect to hear Russian in Japan. She quickly returned to her playful self but said to me.
Irina: "Слушай сюда, сопляк, у меня есть для тебя совет. Не стой у меня на пути." (Listen here brat, I have word of advice for you. Don't get in my way.)
I just smiled at her remark.
Ryoto: "ты потерпишь неудачу." (You'll fail.)
Irina: "Да неужели? Возможно, вы, дети, потерпели неудачу, но я покажу вам разницу между вами и профессионалом." (Oh, really? You kids may have failed but I'll show you the difference between you and the pros.)
Ryoto: "Как насчет ставки тогда?" (How about a bet then?)
Irina: "Ставка?" (A bet?)
Irina laughed at my words so much a tear started gathering near her eye, which she wiped with her finger.
Irina: "Конечно, почему бы и нет. Итак, на что мы делаем ставку? Я не только получу 10 миллиардов в качестве награды за убийство осьминога, но и вознаграждение от нашего пари станет прекрасной вишенкой на торте." (Sure, why not. So what are we betting on? Not only I'll get 10 billion as a reward for killing the octopus but a reward from our bet will make a fine cherry on top.)
Ryoto: "Это ничего особенного, на самом деле. Если ты выиграешь, я буду тебе должен, а если я выиграю, ты будешь должен мне. Просто, верно?" (It's nothing much, really. If you win, I'll owe you a favor and if I'll win you'll owe me one. Simple, right?)
Irina: "Я не получу многого от этого пари, но, конечно, я тебя порадую." (I'm not getting much from this bet, but sure, I'll humor you.)
I walked up to her to confirm the bet with a handshake.
Ryoto: "Я бы сказал удачи, но даже это не поможет вам на этот раз." (I would say good luck but even that won't help you this time.)
A vein popped on Irina's forehead.
Irina: "Посмотрим. Когда я выиграю, я заставлю тебя лизать мои туфли, пока ты пресмыкаешься." (We'll see. When I win I'm going to make you lick my shoes while you grovel.)
Ryoto: "я не могу дождаться этого." (I can not wait for it.)
After a handshake, I returned to my seat, waiting for the upcoming event.
