A New School Life

It was about three days before Big Ma'am was back, and Gokudera's life was hell again. Three days was also enough to adjust to Gokudera's new state of health.

Apparently, he spends his time more on physical training and learning five moves a day, and forced to repeat it a hundred times to Big Ma'am's standards. So healthy food plus training, and he's gaining some muscle.

He had the idea of eating Chanko, and goes as far as drinking beer! Is he trying to be Sumo now?

Final day before school time...by the crags, it was deliberation day.

Juri and Big Ma'am assessed Gokudera's body and poor guy is in his boxers he was all shy. From the skinny twig he was, he gained some muscle though he's still skinny, but Rome isn't built in a day. It'll take a year for some good stuff.

'He's a bit skinnier than Sasha but he eats healthy in our days together though he's overdoing it.' Big Ma'am chuckled. 'Your aspiring subordinate works hard, you won't find others like him anywhere.'

'Rome isn't built in a day. It'll take time before he grows up. Then again, Nono gave us a lot of time to grow up before he retires and its hard choosing people I can trust.'

'H-How is it...and can I get dressed now? This is awkward...' said Gokudera timidly.

'Nee nee Gokudera, you said you'll do anything except illegal stuff to be my future right-hand man, right?' Juri asked with a mysterious smile on her face.

'Yes!' that was a no-hesitation, determined answer.

Juri stripped to his horror, starting with her top. 'NOW THAT IS ILLEGAAAAL!' Gokudera howled in high-pitched horror, his eyes bulging and his inner ghost coming out as soon, she's naked. But what a creamy complexion! Smooth, free of body hair. And without a top to compress it, its gotten a cm bigger as to begin with, she doesn't wear a bra in the days he knew her. 'WHADDYA THINKING?!'

'If people find out I'm heiress to a powerful family, they'll do every trick in the book to kill me. Including strip me naked to prevent me from fighting.' Juri chuckled darkly. 'How many mafia donnas before me and daughter heirs are humiliated because they're raised to be such prudes unable to fight back if a shirt or dress is torn? Too bad for them I grew up where I take seriously the words 'see a piece of heaven'...!' she grinned a smile that promised DEATH. 'My growing body is a beauty to DIE for.'

In short, see her naked or a peek-a-BOOB, she kills you.

'However, after I kill all my impertinent prey, its your job to help me dress after~ so yes, get used to seeing me naked as part of your training.'

Gokudera gave up the ghost.

'...I'd say he passed the final test with a personality like that.' Big Ma'am snorted.

That snapped Gokudera out of his shock.

'W-wait, what test, Master, Juudaime?' Gokudera croaked out with an audible gulp.

'A character test.' said Big Ma'am. 'I can study a person through their eyes and body language. Your Diligence. Determination. Honesty. You're willing to work hard for what you want and willing to do what it takes for your lofty aspirations. Normally, most people like you who pursue the same goal deceive, use and betray even their own families for their own advancement. But in the time I spent with you, I can trust Juri to you in the future as long as you stay the way you are. However, life and time changes people.' she said. 'Change for the worst...you will die.' she gave him a warning, menacing stare causing him to gulp.

'Y-yes ma'am!'

'Juri, proceed.'

'H-huh?!' Gokudera gulped as his boss walked towards him naked. 'W-what're you going to do?' Gokudera stammered nervously.

'Exposure training~!'

'E-ehhhhhhh?!'

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Elsewhere not far from the crags, Reborn raised an eyebrow in his self-training.

'...guess she started. Lucky bastard.' he snorted, amused and went back to work. Juri is a rare beauty indeed and has the benefits of Maria Training and no Guardian ever got lucky with their female skies.

Next day...

Gokudera felt utterly exhausted.

He's noooot looking forward to going to school. Last night pushed his limits.

Just remembering it made his face go scarlet and his head to literally emit steam.

Preparing his breakfast and bento is thus, a STRUGGLE.

He checked his fridge to see what he has and what he doesn't, made a list and made a note to stop by a grocery later

Upon getting to school, yeah, he has a normal life here.

He has acquaintances, but due to what he is, he avoided having close friends.

However, Juri is coming to school today.

They are to pretend they don't know each other, and ahem, slowly start to get along so nobody's the wiser that they know each other far longer than that.

'Class, we have a new student this semester.' said the teacher as his lady boss came in as the homeroom teacher Ogawa-sensei wrote her name on the board as 沢田頌理.

His attractive boss got everyone in class gushing, especially as his boss can portray the shy, vulnerable girl...and she's anything but.

Doesn't help that her hair is so long and thick, so it's flowing. Since it's still a bit hot, she wears it in two high braided twintails.

'She transferred from Tokyo's St. Mihailov and life here in our Namimori is different, so be helpful! Now then, sit behind Gokudera so we can begin Homeroom and what everyone is to expect in this year's curriculum!'

Later come Lunch Break...

Some girls approached Juri so it's a girl's time together.

'Wow, two transfers in our class this year. The first is you right?' Yamamoto Takeshi approached Gokudera.

'Yeah. I guess this is normal in Japan.' said Gokudera.

'Naaaw it isn't!' Yamamoto snorted. 'Transfers only happen out of sheer necessity, like parents transferring due to work or some disaster happening in the area. Otherwise us kids can't transfer anywhere we want on a whim.' he explained to his foreign classmate.

'Talk about strict!'

'Been that way as long as we remember.' Yamamoto shrugged. 'From a big city to a small town like ours...I'm curious!' he grinned. Gokudera can guess what the easy-going kid wants to do.

Eavesdrop!

And so...

'What's your former school like?'

'It's an elevator school outside Tokyo near a lake in large western-style buildings and the classrooms are big, so this place feels cramped in comparison.' Juri explained, looking at how cramped a real japanese classroom is compared to what she was used to. 'Its a dorm coed school so its really big.' Juri smiled sweetly. 'I lived in the dorms myself since its too far from home, but security is good and safer. the boys and 1/4 of the population that do attend live near the area by commute so gender ratio is pretty skewed that in a classroom, 8/10 are girls, but girls who dorm in but parents want quality but live too far dorm their daughters in. We're also pretty religious since we have a christian chapel in there. A large cafeteria where we have our meals. Washoku only.'

'Do you have pictures?'

'Oh, right here...I took some videos before I left...'

Videos of a dorm room.

Communal Gender-Segregated Baths and locker room outside.

Cafeteria.

School Grounds.

Uniforms on Junior High with herself as the girl wearing the uniform and a group of high school girls wearing the uniform with Fujiomi wearing the male uniform. Elementary Students wear civvies of course.

Facilities.

The Chapel.

School Clinic with Dr. Oikawa.

Clubrooms and Sports Grounds.

The massive swimming pool.

'Wow!'

'Y'know, makes me wonder what you guys eat that all girl-senpais in your old school have big chests! Even the school nurse is stupidly-huge! Did she stuff balloons under her shirt or what?'

'Maybe I should go washoku from now on...I'm honestly embarrassed I'm flat at my age...'

'That bedroom from before...is that the dorm room?!'

'Yup. That was my room before I left.' said Juri. 'Elementary schoolers however, are six to a room since children feel lonely too easily.'

'No way!'

'Gimme a copy of that pic, I'm gonna show that to my sister in college, she's gonna cry unfair for sure!'

'Me too me too! That's so not fair! A big room with a huge bed?!'

Chaos ensued.

'Wow, from a big school to a cramped school like ours...what a transition.' Yamamoto sweatdropped as they took a peek from behind. 'Tuition must be huge.'

'Probably, that doesn't come cheap for sure.' Gokudera agreed, eating his bento. His rice were all bite-sized riceballs in seaweed, and a healthy meat and vegetable dish. He has a small canteen containing high-class green tea. 'Her parents probably moved to here for some reason but that's none of our business.'

Juri grew up tru-blu catholic as she said what's the culture of St. Mihailov. Its a peaceful place and no troubles with boys which was mind-boggling.

It was too incredible.

There's even a foreign nun doing the gardening. 'Oh, that's Sister Teresa, she's the caretaker of the Kindergarteners and those flower fields. She's real nice and acts as the motherly figure for homesick kids and teaches them not to be picky eaters by farming vegetables and showing them how long it takes before they reach the shops.'

'Heeee...'

In Class, she showed academic prowess, and her English was very fluent with no accent.

'Wow, that old school of hers must have good teachers!'

P.E?

Shockers as in the Locker Room, her figure shocked her classmates.

'What the hell did they feed you in that school?!'

'Like I said, Washoku...'

And when leaving the Locker Rooms, Juri's hair obscured what's obvious for now, Gokudera thought. But come P.E, her shape is all for boys to see and they're nothing like the guys she's known. He thinks they fall along the lines of 'the guys who'll see heaven' at some point.

Heck, he also got attention in the locker rooms as he was the skinniest guy in the room yet he 'gained some meat' now, and his body hair is gone.

'The uniform fabrics are yanking my leg hairs, it's itchy plus an uncomfortable pull!' was his excuse. 'How are you guys managing?!'

Well, his boss finds body hair unattractive and filthy. So its gone. As long as he takes care of himself, both hygiene and his training, alongside his education, its all good.

'Errr we're long used to it even if its annoying...'

And in P.E today, it's Volleyball. P.E is three times a week as in a Japanese School Year, P.E is three hours a week. Changing time not included.

'Sign up for a club? Uhhh no time for that since I got stuff to do~'

And that stuff to do, was of course...Mafia Classes Grade 1, she thought sarcastically in her mind. That's after she picks up Lambo from Kindergarten.

Hibari Kyoya wasn't stupid.

He keeps track of all kids who have no club as per his duty as head of Disciplinary Committee.

Class President of Class 1-5 gave him a profile. 'This is the new student, Sawada Juri. She didn't sign up for any club.'

'Mm.'

Same class as Gokudera Hayato, a foreigner who said he got signed up for Cram.

Actually the girl has medical files relating to trauma some years back and he researched the case, so she has a valid excuse, Gokudera does NOT as he hadn't existed in any cram in Namimori.

He followed the guy one day and found him going to the craggy area out of town...for self-training and hard at work. Well, he sees no problem as he's being productive in his own way and not a nuisance like most boys, and stays there until 9:00 pm and goes home. His dinner is a chanko every night with a single can of beer, the rest was chilly water bottles.

The question is, what was he doing that for indeed. But he'll see results by end of the year and see if he's a carnivore by then!

Yamamoto Takeshi wondered the same thing while putting on an act.

He got bummed with his friends earlier in the year, constantly pressuring him with baseball and his averages are failing. He asked Gokudera for advice who scolded him regarding training and resting as constant work piles up the stress, affecting both body and mind thus his schoolwork is affected which was more important than baseball at the moment as,

'How you gonna make it into Seeded Baseball schools come high school if your grades are shitty and your body so worn-out?! School first, then balance baseball and rest while eating healthy! You're doin' it all wrong! The way you are now, have at least a week-long vacation and strap hot packs on your muscles!'

What he said, was different from his friends and fans who said, 'Work harder, you're probably not doing enough!'

He did Gokudera's advice and he avoided Summer School in time.

He had been hanging out with Gokudera since, though he's not available after school as he's got cram.

Or so he thought.

He once went out on an errand for his pops who ran out of soy sauce for last-minute customers...and encountered Gokudera who's sweaty and dirty, carrying a bag home.

That doesn't happen in cram...that's suspicious.

Thus he found out what Gokudera was doing like Hibari did.

Why is Gokudera training?

Come summer, Gokudera was training under a muscular nun and they were speaking in foreign language.

Then he got detected.

'Alright, come out!' she spoke in English as a rock whizzed past his face when she threw it. Holy shit!

'Teacher?!' Gokudera squawked out and Yamamoto had no choice now and showed up. 'Yamamoto?'

'I got worried.' said Yamamoto. 'Pops had me out on a soy sauce errand one night and I saw you coming home like a mess. I got curious today and I didn't know you're actually training. But what for though?'

'Sorry dude, my life is important that I can't speak about it.' said Gokudera. 'If you aim for baseball in high school, I'm aiming for a lofty career that involves a lotta fighting.'

'Oh, you mean like in those MMA shows on TV?'

'That's cheap!' Gokudera's sputtered, eyes bulging. 'Much, MUCH loftier! Ya think MMAs on TV trained like I did?!'

'...from what I saw for ten seconds, guess not! Hahaha...but anyway, you alright?' Yamamoto asked, concerned.

'Yeah, I get half a day off on friday and weekends off to recover.' Gokudera grinned. 'I'd be a hypocrite otherwise!'

'Haha, that's true! Well, my curiosity's satisfied, but watch out for Hibari-senpai! Be more subtle when you go home since he patrols! You know how that guy is.'

'Ahhh shaddap!' so Yamamoto left them so he felt a bit ashamed of himself that Gokudera has a higher goal for his future than he did. Come school, he gained some muscle and he fared better in P.E Classes.

But since he knows his secret training, he respected the guy's space, just content with his company at school and they became closer friends.

There's another mysterious girl in the newcomer. She too, did not sign up for club. She goes straight home every day. Nothing weird about that...she seems normal.
