First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story picks up after the last chapter, where both protagonists are going to get into a situation, and humiliation, so buckle up, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 6: Tōsō
A week has passed since that incident, and and thanks to the board of trustees and other teachers, the incident went mostly unnoticed due to them covering it up and only a handful of students from the main and reserve courses are aware of it, and yet they hardly care as they think it is not their problem, as shown at the reserve course building, where it shows that Natsumi is trying to move on and cope with what happened to her, and so far only Hinata showed sympathy and concern, but she left the classroom and went to the rooftop to unwind, and Hinata followed her, and tried to talk to her and asks why is she so determined to go yo the main course building, which she indirectly admitted her reasons.
"That is your reason?"
"You got a problem?"
"No...not really..."
"Then shut the hell up and leave me alone..."
"But still..."
"I will definitely move to the main course...whatever it takes..."
"Kuzuryuu..."
"I will...definitely...definitely..."
Natsumi shed a few tears before wiping them off, still upset at what happened to her and yet she is still determined to do whatever it takes to be tranfered to tbe main course, and Hinata said that she can still be close to her brother by bonding with him and make fond memories, though she said that it is unlikely since in the mafia, one has to earn their way to the top and things like "friendship" is irrelevant, which Hinata went silent for a moment until she asks him why is he hanging out with a main course student like Chiaki Nanami, in which he said that they met a few weeks back and befriended him, and the rest is history, which Natsumi glanced at Hinata, feeling unconvinced at his words and then left.
Hinata watches her leave, feeling that he and Natsumi can relate since they have no friends in the reserve course and that both really wanted to move to the main course, but due to them lacking any talent, it was just wishful thinking and he just sighed as he went back to his classroom and there he saw Natsumi sitting on her seat, while the rest of the class ignored her as if they do not acknowledge her existence, and they did not acknowledge this as Hinata went to his seat, and a teacher came and class is about to commence the next subject.

Much later, the scene shifts at the main course building, where the Class of 77 is shown inside the classroom, where Fuyuhiko is shown to be in deep thought as so far he is unable to track down the former reserve course students who molested Natsumi, as he desire getting revenge for what they did to his sister, and Pekoyama noticed his silence and can guess what he is thinking, and she approached him, offering to help finding the ex-students but he turn down the offer and told her to focus on her studies for now.
"I'll be fine..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah...I will see to it...you just focus on studying..."
"But still...I can't just..."
"I appreciate it...but...leave it to me...you need to focus on other things...just do as I order you to..."
"Very well..."
"I'll ask for your help if and when I need to."
"Yes, master..."
When Peko asked how Natsumi is doing, he said that since that incident she was very silent and rarely doing her usual gig, and spends her time alone, and he is concerned for her fearing that she might do something foolish, if not reckless, and that is something he wanted to avoid, and wished that he could do something to help his sister, not wanting to see her remaining traumatized for the long run and is starting to think that Natsumi wanting to study at Hope's Peak is a bad idea.
Meanwhile, the rest of the class glanced at Pekoyama and Kuzuryu, and though they wondered what they are talking about, they can guess that it is about Natsumi, and they are wondering if they should offer him their emotional support, which Akane and Nekomaru are willing to help track down the reserve course students who did this to Natsumi, and they approached Fuyuhiko and offered to help, which he was quite moved by their offer, yet he is reluctant to accept it feeling this is a family matter and wished not to involve his classmates to spare them from trouble, though the two said that it is fine with them saying that the wouldn't let this incident slide.
"Don't mind us...Midai and I are willing to help...family or not...we are involved since you're our friend..."
"Trust us...we are here for you...and my muscles are aching to mangle those maniacs!"
"So don't be too shy...just say the word and Midai and I will find those hentai..."
"Midai...Owari..."
"Then it's decided!"
"We're gonna find those maniacs!"
"Of course we will let your sister draw first blood!"
"Then we beat them up!"
By then Yukizome came and overheard the conversation, which made her concerned as she knew that they are enticing trouble and talked to Akane and Nekomaru, telling them to let it go saying that the reserve course students who assaulted Natsumi were already expelled and that Natsumi is recovering, so there is no need to find the culprits and instead encouraged them to move on and do their best in the academy, and the three students reluctantly oblige and classes began, though Mahiru appeared to be a bit concerned, even though she and Natsumi are in bad terms, she still felt a bit of friendship with Natsumi given that they used to be in the photography club in their last school, and she wondered what Natsumi is doing and hoped that Sato woildn't rub it off on her.

Elsewhere, the scene shows that the Class of 78 are doing well, with Naegi steadily recovering and moving on, and there some of his classmates were having fun while waiting for their next teacher to arrive, and some of them asks Naegi why he did something reckless, which he said that he couldn't just let someone get raped, and if he ran off just to get help, the culprits would have killed her on the spot, but Celestia Ludenberg said that it would be advisable not to get involved with Natsumi due to her being the daughter of the Kuzuryu mafia family, which the others stared in surprise at hearing this.
"What?"
"That reserve course girl a mafia?"
"Seriously?"
"Where did you get that info, Celes-chan?"
"Hmph. So Naegi risks himself over a gangster's girl...how foolish..."
"Hey! Don't be so mean, Togami-kun!"
"Hmm...let me read a fortune...there might be a possibility that..."
"Knock it off, Hagakure!"
Naegi heard this and asks Celes if she is sure about what she said, and Celes confirms it, and even said that her brother, a SUPER HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL GANGSTER, is in the Class of 77, and said that he himself is going to find the culprits, so she told Naegi to back off and not get ho self too involved with the incident, or he won't be so LUCKY the next time, jokingly states that the mafia might steal his vital organs, which the others chided her for the remark though Celes said she is joking.
By then the teacher came and classes began to start and the day went on without incident, as Naegi wondered what to do should he meet with Natsumi the next time, having heard from Celes about her family background though he felt that she needed someone to help alleviate her emotional pain knowing what she is going through.
-x-
Later in the day, Naegi is seen leaving the classroom and is about to go home, and when he passed by the classroom of Class 77, he saw the students are chatting with one another, and he wondered what sort of students they are, and there Mahiru saw Naegi, and having seen him once, and learning that he was the first to come to Natsumi's aid, she decided to talk to him and approached him, asking him to come with her and talk in private.
Outside the main course building, Mahiru told Naegi about Natsumi, her background and her personality, and advised him not to get too close to her saying that she might use him just to get into the main course, as she knew that Natsumi would use anyone in order to get transferred here and feared that Naegi is no exception and told him to heed her advise, and though he can understand her concern, he told her that Natsumi needed someone to help cope with what happened and he believe in Natsumi's goodness despite the attitude he is told of her, and said that as long as one treats her kindly, he is sure that Natsumi would reciprocate the same kindness.
"...and that is what I believe..."
"But, Naegi-san..."
"It's okay, Koizumi-senpai...I believe in Kuzuryuu-san's goodness..."
"But still...I met her a few years ago...and I know her best...so it would be advisable if you stay away from her!"
"Koizumi-san..."
"Please...for your own good..."
"..."
"Please!"
After that, Naegi bowed and thanked her for the advice and left, and Mahiru watches him leave and wondered if he would be okay knowing that if Naegi starts associating with Natsumi she would only use him for her benefit, and Hiyoko came, having eavesdropped on the conversation and said that this is Naegi's problem and it is his death sentence if he choose to make friends with Natsumi, though she thinks it would be averted since Fuyihiko is there, knowing that he would SCREEN potential suitors, which Mahiru stared in surprise.
"Are you saying...?"
"Well...who knows..."
"You can't just..."
"Well...that Naegi looked cute...for a short pipsqueak like him..."
"Saionji-san...stop insulting the underclassmen..."
"I'm just being blunt, Mahiru..."
"But..."
"That Natsumi and Naegi...what if...?"
Hiyoko giggled as she is curious at what the scenario would be like if Naegi ends up becoming Natsumi's boyfriend and she liked the idea ofNaegi becoming a gangster and a whipping boy for Natsumi, which Mahiru told her to stop thinking of such things, believing Naegi to be a kind person and he deserved someone better than Natsumi, and the two girls bicker until their classmates showed up and said that Teruteru Hanamura is inviting them to his canteen to try his latest cuisine, and the two girls left to join their classmates.
A few minutes later after dismissal time and the scene shows that Natsumi is walking towards the exit of Hope's Peak, and she is still not feeling emotionally good about what happened, and she kept glancing at the main course building, still aspiring to get into the main course building, and she passed by the park area of Hope's Peak and saw Nanami playing a PS VITA, and she glanced at her recalling that she hangs out with Hinata, and she wondered why a main course student like Nanami is friends with a reserve course student like Hinata, and she approached Nanami, which she bowed to Natsumi, and Natsumi asked her directly the deal with Hinata.
"Hey...can I ask you something?"
"What is it, then?"
"What is your deal with Hinata?"
"Me?"
"Yeah, YOU."
"We're friends...we hang out together...playing video games...chat together...here and outside the academy..."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
Natsumi is somewhat taken aback at what she just heard, and could not believe that Nanami has no qualms about choosing a friend regardless of someone being in the main or reserve course, and Nanami said that making friends is important and it does not have to be on a certain social circle as long as that person and the other person show interest with one another. Natsumi is quite unconvinced and thinks that Nanami is just fooling around and asks her how can she be so carefree about choosing someone that is not on one's level, such as Hinata.
Nanami kept on glancing on the PS VITA and not looked at Natsumi, but replied that a teacher told her that if one person likes the other, talked to that person and if one shows kindness the other will reciprocate the same kindness, and a friendship ia formed, and the rest is history, and Nanami said that she is happy to have Hinata as a friend, and her friendship with him helped her in making friends with her classmates at Class 77, which Natsumi is a bit taken aback, and could not believe that Nanami is so carefree and not minding Hinata's status as a reserve course student, which made her envious towards Nanami.
As she felt that she wanted to lash out at Nanami, she restrained herself as she is thinking what she should do in order to get to the level as Nanami, Hinata came and is surprised to see Natsumi talking to Nanami, and there Nanami waved at him and told him that a new fighting game is now available on the PS VITA, showing it to him and told him that the fighting game is good and invited him to play with her, and Natsumi watched the scene in disbelief, and there she recalled what Tengan and Naegi told her from before, and this made her even more envious than ever.
By then five main course students passed by and they balked at the scene seeing Nanami hanging out with Hajime and thinking that she is also hanging out with Natsumi, they told her not to hang out with a TRASH like him and told her to hang out with REAL people with REAL TALENTS, as well as not to hang out with a PROSTITUTE like Natsumi, which drew the ire of Natsumi herself and talked back at the main course student, who is the leader of the posse.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PROSTITUTE, YOU JACKASS?!"
"You talking to me, bitch?"
"Yeah, I am...and you have the balls to call me a bitch, asshole!"
"Oohh...I'm scared...and she is gonna call her mafia family to give her a pacifier..."
"Coming from someone who has a small dick, you micro-penis...!"
"W-what...what the...? How did you...?!"
"Looks like you couldn't even fit your dick into a girl's hole...too bad you get to be impotent...so go screw around and jack off! Or maybe you should castrate yourself and become a monk!"
"You loud mouth bitch!"
The main course student was taken aback at being insulted by Natsumi, which HURTS his manhood and slapped Natsumi so hard that she fell to the ground, prompting Hinata to stand up and confront the main course student, telling him why he had to do that to a girl, but the student said that TRASHES like Natsumi and Hinata deserves it because that is how reserve course students are supposed to be treated, but Nanami told the student that what he did may lead him to getting expelled, and the student branded Nanami as a TRAITOR for associating with a reserve course student.
By then Naegi passed by and saw Natsumi on the ground, and saw her bruised cheek and saw Hinata and Nanami standing in a protective stance and asks them what happened, and Nanami told Naegi about it and this caused the Luckster to shout at the main course student, but the student mocked Naegi, having learned of his talent and believed that Naegi should not be on the main course and told him that he should be at the reserve course because he is just a FLUKE, that there is no such talent ad LUCK, and told him he should be kicked out because he is only an eyesore but Naegi answered back, triggering a word war between the two main course students.
"You're the fluke..."
"What was that, pipsqueak...?"
"Just because you are in the main course does not mean you have to trample those who did not get selected..."
"So what?"
"The only talent you ever have is bullying others!"
"You...!"
"So stop picking on the reserve course stude ts and grow up! The reserve course students are trying to earn their way, and all you did was push them away!"
"You pint-sized brat! I'll kill you!"
The other main course students stared in surprise and are taken aback at what Naegi said yet they were pumped to see their posse leader beat Naegi up seeing that the Luckster is an easy punching bag and this would end in a minute which is enough time for their leader to wrap things up before a teacher could come and notice the commotion.
To Be Continued...
