The Genius Delinquent And Shy Cat Girl
Chapter: two Haku's POV: When I Met You Part Two Of Two
"But Kazuto sensei I'm really trying I swear!"
I look into sensei's eyes while pleading not to hold me back another year I was never really good at academics but I would try my hardest. But Kazuto sensei never believes me since my grades never showed them.
"I'm sorry Yowane-san but at this rate you'll get left back another year"
I slowly look down to the floor realizing I can't really do much in this discussion from someone else's perspective I'd look like a sad puppy. Funny enough I'm actually part cat no one knows this cause I tend to keep it secret or I'll get targeted for fights and stuff. The teacher gave a long sigh and went behind his desk only to pull a bunch of papers and I looked up as he handed them to me.
"Look Yowane-san I don't want to hold you back another year but if your grades don't get any better soon that's the only option left...so take these and complete them...in detention..."
My eyes widen and I could feel tears starting to form since I never done anything bad it's my first time in detention and I panicked. The teacher gave a weary laugh which confused me until he told me.
"Calm down Yowane-san its just so you can concentrate on the work I'm giving you you're not in trouble so you don't need to cry"
So I did what I was told and calmed down trying to hold back tears that formed for no reason.
"S-S-S-So I-I'm n-n-not i-i-in t-trouble"
"Oh no you're the nicest student in this school who I know for a fact you wouldn't do anything without a good reason"
I sighed in relief that I wasn't in trouble before I was able to speak up I heard something with my cat ears that were hidden using a special spell I made. All my focus turned to the noise which the teacher noticed my loss of focus on him and towards the door.
"Yowane-san is something wrong?"
I didn't respond and this time it wasn't the noise that caught my attention it was the voice of a girl and it was somewhat harmonic. At first I thought it was a mistake but then I focused harder on the voice or voices in this case it was conversation that took place and it sounded like I had to interfere but my train of thought was cut off by Kazuto sensei who snapped me back into reality.
"Yowane-san answer me!"
He said with a tone of voice tougher then normal and me being super shy I got startled and studdard on my words.
"Ah s-s-sorry sensei um...I-I-I just-just heard something in the hallway th-that's all..."
"The hallway?"
He went to see what the noise was but saw nothing then he looked at me with a puzzled look. I only gave another look of I-promise-I-heard-something-maybe-a-little-more-down-the-hall. Sensei only did what my face shown and I followed behind shortly but for some weird reason sensei hit...thin air...and fell backwards...?
"S-Sensei are you ok?!"
He only nodded in response but had on the most serious face I've seen him with. Then sensei reached out his hand only to be stopped in mid-air? I honestly didn't know what was going on anymore so I did the same thing he did and I was touching a wall made out of air...? Then I realized what it actually was it was a barrier specifically a noise cancellation barrier or more commonly known as a noise barrier. It's main job is to cancel noise from the inside so no one can hear anything from the outside it'll also fix whatever damage was caused inside the only thing that worried me was who ever casted this barrier in the first place had to be one strong person. Even the most experienced,mages,fighters,vampires,werewolves you name it no one was able to cast this spell perfectly there would always be a little bit of noise coming out of the barrier. Even with my cat ears its still really hard to hear what's going on in the inside of the noise barrier from the outside. It was scary to know that and although sensei was mumbling something under his breath I still heard it since I had better hearing then anyone but what he said was somewhat shocking.
"Akita Neru...you're the only person who can create a noise barrier this well done...without a doubt you really are The Genius Delinquent"
The Genius Delinquent? I heard that name before but I only heard rumors about The Genius Delinquent. Cause I've never seen The Delinquent since I would always avoid trouble at all cost I'm scared out of my mind and as much as sensei is here I'm still scared that I'm finally going to see The Genius Delinquent. Sensei looked at me with a very serious look and asked me a question I couldn't really answer.
"Yowane-san...do you know of a way to take down this barrier...?"
"Um...there is no actual way of taking it down from the outside without someone out here that is just as strong or stronger then the person who created the barrier..."
Sensei looked extremely concerned about what can happen in the inside of the barrier it doesn't make me feel better that sensei can't take down the barrier either. Then to add more to the problem The Genius Delinquent is the one who casted the barrier in the first palace so what does a normal shy person do? Panic...internally and that's what I did before an idea popped into my head.
"Sensei why don't we try to break the barrier from out here"
"Break it? As in breaking a glass cup by accident?"
"Yeah I think it can work..."
Sensei was liking the idea but he knew it was something he couldn't do on his own but before I can suggest to go get some more teachers to help.
"Yowane-san think you can give me a hand?"
"E-EH?! M-ME?!"
"Yes you Yowane-san I've seen your PE score and you're pretty strong for someone so shy and quiet during class"
Aaaah! But that's only because I'm part cat! I shouted internally but he was right. Although I didn't exactly go all out during PE I was still one of the strongest girls in the class but I only responded with a cowardly excuse
"B-B-But s-s-sensei I can't!"
"...Alright...I'm not going to force you but it's the fastest way inside the barrier and I'm worried about what's happening inside..."
I only looked at sensei with a defeated expression and ran away to find some teachers until I heard something that made me stop running and realize that sensei was right.
"Miku! Watch out!"
My eyes widen it was the last thing I heard that made me realize even more that The Genius Delinquent was about to hurt someone and badly too. I didn't want anyone to get hurt...especially if it's my fault they got hurt in the first place. When I looked back at sensei he was trying so hard to break the barrier but was failing miserably then I made up my mind. I was determined to save whoever was inside even if I had to go all out on my magic abilities even if...even if...I didn't want to think of the possibilities not in a time of need. I charged my psychic ability which can break just about anything and I am hopping I can destroy the barrier but to cast the strongest attack I can do I'll have to change my eyes to look like a cats since that how my powers activate. Completely at least...so after a few seconds I started to float while having magical energy flow out of my hand and ready to launch my attack all that's left is for sensei to step back. In a serious voice I said
"Sensei... stand back..."
"H-Huh!? Yo-Yo-Yowa...ne...san!?"
With wide eyes he looked at me in the eye full surprise to see me up in the air and with glowing bright red eyes. But sensei did what I told him to do and stepped back in a split second I launched my attack and it hit the barrier at full blast.
*CRACK*
"My...word..."
I heard sensei say once I broke the barrier a little but that's when I had to over pass my limit once a barrier is broken it takes one minute to go back to normal but stronger then before and I knew I wasn't strong enough to break it once more after it got repaired. But all I thought about was I had to break this stupid barrier or it'll be my fault the students in there got hurt so I gathered all the strength I could muster and enhanced my attack by twenty times. Just as I enhanced my attack and the barrier finally broke completely then I saw what was happening inside I also fell towards the floor while breathing heavily. As my eyes went back to my normal shade of red there stood three girls inside the broken barrier two were blondes and the other was a tealette. One of the blondes had long hair that was tied in a side pony tail shooting out lighting bolts form her hands but that was all I could see at the moment due to her back that was facing me. The other blonde had short hair and had a bow on her head that was held on an alice band she also had bright blue eyes that held a lot of anger and determination towards the blonde in mid-air while holding a shield barrier to with stand the attack that was aimed towards her. Lastly was the twin-tailed tealette who was standing behind the short haired blonde and her eyes that looked like a dark teal color which held worry and fear which was also shown on her face.
"AKITA NERU!"
Sensei shouted the name of The Genius Delinquent in which I was extremely shocked to see her face when she turned around. Those golden honey eyes were calming to look at even if she was looking annoyed and I'm pretty sure she looked like a doll. I'm not joking when I thought of dressing her up in different outfits and hug her despite the underdeveloped body she managed to make it look extremely attractive...
*CRACK*
We all heard the crack and knew perfectly well where it came from and just as fast as the barrier cracked sensei casted a nullification spell on the side pony-tail girl. Which stun her for a few seconds but it was enough to get her to stop the attack. But instantly after the short haired blonde collapsed on the floor she exhausted her power limit. I slowly got up from the floor only to get the shock of my life by sensei.
"Detention!"
Yelled sensei and I swear my jaw DROPED to the floor. I'm going to be in detention with The Beautiful Delinquent I-I mean Genius Delinquent...anyway she might kill me if she figures out it was me who broke her noise barrier.
"Same time same place?"
"Yes!"
"...Nice to know that well see ya..."
The same way she asked a question is the same way she responded sensei with a dull and bored look and tone of voice. She walked away too and it might have been obvious but my eyes followed her especially when she walked passed me then the biggest surprise hit me like a baseball bat. The blonde was short like really short she only just barely past my chest area which was very cute to me but now I'll have to wait for after school to see what will happen.
TIME JUMP
It's time for detention and I'm way to scared to even go in the room...but I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'm positive anyone can guess why my crush will be in that room too but for something I didn't want to be my first impression of her. When I got there I instantly wanted to turn back but she spotted me before I could. The feeling in my cheeks felt hot and for once I felt more shy then I normally would be was it because she was my crush but could I even call her that? Since I've never falling in love or had feelings for anyone I had no clue what to do non the less think about but it was all cut off by her when she spoke to for the first time.
"Are ya gonna stand there or are ya gonna move?"
"H-Huh?! Oh yeah I-I-I'm sorry..."
I instantly reached out to touch the door handle but so did the short blonde we apparently had the same idea. We touched each other's hand for a few seconds but I panicked and moved my hand away as fast as I could. While panicking even more I only took a step back and bowed only to do something I do best...apologize.
"S-S-Sorry I'm r-really s-s-sorry"
"Y-Ya didn't need to apologize over something like that..."
It was probably my ears playing tricks on me cause I thought I heard her stutter a bit. After a few more seconds that felt like hours of pure awkwardness she spoke up again.
"Can you pick up your head cause I ain't royalty"
I followed her order and despite her being shorter then me I tried to avoid her gaze as much as possible. Then I heard her opening the door only to then wave her hand in front of me to get my attention which she did and I got to stare at her golden honey eyes again.
"You were going inside..."
She said while gesturing me to go inside. I again followed her command trying to not get her mad and thinking about it that's the last thing I wanted to do but she soon followed after me and closing the door.
"Akita what are you in for this ti-"
Sensei who was once calmly reading her magazine looked at us in a weird way in which I don't blame her the shyest and quietest girl in school next to the delinquent of the school in detention...together it was odd I can't lie.
"Well um...what an odd pair...but anyway Akita you know the drill and..."
"Yowane Haku..."
"Ah, well Yowane you can pick whatever seat in the classroom and finish the work Kazuto sensei gave you"
"Oh...did Kazuto sensei tell you about me?"
"Yes, he told me about a Yowane Haku coming by to finish some work so the faster you finish the faster you can leave"
"R-Right then I'll be taking my seat now excuse me"
"Good luck on your work Yowane"
As she said that I bowed to give my thanks and left to take my seat but not in front or by the blonde girl cause I didn't want to feel or make her feel uncomfortable. So I chose to sit by the window a few seats in front of her then I took out a pencil and the papers Kazuto sensei gave me to finish and started to do my work.
