I Can't Go to a Hero School with my Little Sister!

by KyouManX57

Okay, uh, most of the characters have have powers and Kyousuke has powers and, uh, he goes to a hero school with his sister Kirino and he saves the world and the universe and stuff, doesn't get anymore complicated then that, I swear.

8. Chapter 8

Hello everyone are you ready for more epic combat? Are you ready for more epic school drama? Are you ready for more epic PERVERSION!? WELL TOO FUCKING BAD! Cause your getting this, please enjoy.

Ky: "Ah, where am I?"

Ar: "Good morning, how's my favorite new boy toy?"

Ky: "Ohmygod!"

I woke up in the school infirmary to find Arika looming over me next to my bed.

Ky: "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Ar: "Waiting for you to wake up, what the fuck else? Now come on there's still time before your next match, let's get down to business~"

Ky: "Ah! Get off of me!"

Ar: "Quit struggling and get those fucking shorts off!"

Just when Arika got a hold of my waistband Kirino came in.

Ki: "That idiot better be awake by now, eh!?"

Ky: "Kirino help! This bitch is trying to rape me!"

Ar: "Hey there sweetie, do you mind giving us some privacy? Your brother is about to make me your new big sister."

Ki: "Oh hell no!"

Kirino then pulled out a spray-bottle full of water and began to spray Arika in the face with it.

Ar: "Ah! Hey stop that!"

Ki: "Back! Back you succubus!"

Ar: "Stop it! You're messing up my makeup! Ah!"

Arika then escaped out the door with Kirino chasing her.

Ki: "Jeez I have to deal with this now."

Ky: "That was a close one, thanks Kirino."

Ki: "Your thanking me for chasing a pretty girl out of your bed? Never thought I'd hear that out of anyone."

Ky: "If it were anyone else things would be different, who knows what kind of diseases that woman has."

Ar: "Hey! I'll have you know I'm perfectly clean!"

Ky: "I don't believe you!"

Ki: "Out! {sprits}."

Ar: "Ah!"

Ky: "Plus I'm not interested in girls who've probably slept with most of Chiba's teenage male population."

Ki: "W-well that's understandable, yes!"

Ky: "{Streeetch} Hey what time is it?"

Ki: "3:40 you've been out for almost twenty minutes; you still have a little time before your match against Aoi."

Ky: "So they did put me up against Aoi, ugh, I do feel better since my last battle but I'm still kind of wiped and my muscles are achy."

Ki: "Really? I thought the nurses would be able to get you feeling all better by now."

Ky: "Well I'm not feeling that way, damn, hopefully Aoi isn't too rough with me."

Ki: "…You know {blush}…I could give you a massage."

Ky: "Eh? You'd really do that?"

Ki: "Yeah, I can't have you losing against Aoi because of this."

Ky: "Guess you have a point."

Ki: "It won't fully restore you but it'll at least make you feel better."

Ky: "Are you sure we have time for this?"

Ki: "{blush} Y-yeah, it'll only take a couple of minutes, plus after hearing that you passed out the principle decided to postpone the match until you woke up and nobody knows you're awake yet."

Ky: "Alright then go for it, I'm really going to need it."

I took off my shirt and Kirino moved behind me on the bed to begin to rubbing my shoulders, she was surprisingly gentle and the feeling of her dainty little fingers was really nice.

Ki: "H-how does it feel?"

Ky: "I've had better but it's still pretty good."

Ki: "You know somebody could come in through that door any minute, what would they think if they saw us like this."

Ky: "What? A girl giving her older brother a massage? What's to take from that? I don't think it's weird."

Ki: "…"

Ky: "Can you go a little lower?"

Ki: "Sure."

Ky: "Man I am not looking forward to waking up tomorrow."

Ki: "Hm, well tomorrow is the weekend so you can be a lazy bum all day if you want."

Ky: "That's exactly what I'm going to do, fortunately I didn't make any plans with Kouhei and Manami."

Ki: "…I should probably stay too."

Ky: "Hm? Why?"

Ki: "To, uh, protect you from Arika."

Ky: "Well if all it takes is a spray-bottle I'm pretty sure I can handle her myself."

Ki: "Trust me the spray-bottle will only work so much, once she has her sights set on you she's not going to stop until she gets what she wants and she's going to do everything she can to get it."

Ky: "O-okay I think I will need a little help then."

Ki: "Plus if you do actually win against Aoi and Daiki I'm going to need to stay to move all of my stuff to the penthouse."

Ky: "I wonder what the penthouse looks like."

Ki: "I hear it's really nice, it has a pool, a hot-tub, a big flat screen TV and even a game room."

Ky: "Really? Well then I'm going to have to give it everything I have to beat Aoi, I want that hot-tub."

Ki: "I want that TV."

{riiing, riiing}

Ki: "Hello?...Uh, no he's still asleep but I'll give him ten more minutes before I wake him up...okay then, bye."

Ky: "Who was that?"

Ki: "Wrong number."

Arika's POV

Ar: "Jeez my fucking makeup is all smudged now, that little bitch."

{ring, ring}

Ar: "Damn it's the director…hello?"

"I hear that you failed Arika."

Ar: "My apologies ma'am, he caught me off guard."

"I also heard that you tried to get him to forfeit."

Ar: "Uh…"

"Well it's no matter, at least you drained him of his energy so we don't have to worry about him exploding when he dies and I already informed the nurses to not heal Kyousuke. I even allowed Aoi to face off with him first in his next match, that much strain should be enough to make him buckle over then God Slayer (Theodore) will do the rest."

Ar: "…Are you sure we should be doing this ma'am? I thought you got the International Hero Association and the U.S. government to agree to develop him."

"The majority of the department wanted to go with that decision, if I had tried to go through with killing him they would all resent me. It would take months to restore morale and low morale means dangerous mistakes will be made, by forcing him to fully Dive everyone will see how dangerous he is and we can get rid of him."

Ar: "This doesn't feel right."

"You have to understand Arika he may look and act human on the outside but it's just a façade, things like him have no place in this world and the longer he stays alive the more danger he puts the entire planet in. You would know that had you witnessed your home and family being obliterated in an instant by the Americans, even they didn't have full control over it, there's no way our tiny country would be able to achieve what they couldn't."

Ar: "I guess you have a point."

"I know it feels bad now but in the end it's what's necessary to maintain peace."

Ar: "Yes ma'am."

"Alright then as you were."

Ar: "…{sigh} That fucking cock blocking bitch, there's no way she feels bad about this, it's going to be sad to see a nice piece of ass like that go, even if he is a little fish-faced…I just hope that he finds a way out of this."

Kyousuke's POV

After Kirino finished rubbing me down, which took a little longer than I expected, we headed back to the field, after Aoi and Daiki's match finished (of coarse another tie) the moderator allowed everyone an intermission to get snacks and use the bathroom so when we got there we waited the few extra minutes on the bench to allow everyone to get back to their seats.

Ki: "Okay Kyousuke try to keep a calm mind."

Ky: "Okay, I'm calm."

Ki: "Aoi may be the most powerful student at CHA and he's trained under his father, who used to be the most powerful lightning elemental in the Japanese/American military and was even once tied for most powerful on the planet with the EU's Blitz."

Ky: "Okay."

Ki: "But you have your own strength, think of all the anime protagonists that have a raging torrent of power lying dormant within them that they let out when they're on the verge of defeat. Now try to channel those thoughts into yourself and to tap into that well of power within you, I know it's there."

Ky: "Uh, right."

"Okay everyone's in their seats, we're ready to start the match."

Ky: "Okay, not totally ready but close enough, bladder is feeling kind of full now, also a little nauseous."

Ki: "Need a kiss to feel better?~"

Ky: "Screw off."

Ki: "Dammit."

Ky: "Whoo, alright let's do this."

I got up and grabbed a headband just as Aoi and Daiki reached the table and grabbed the other.

Aoi: "It's good to see you're well Kousaka, I was worried that they would have to cancel the match."

Ky: "Uh, thanks."

Da: "Surprised you even got back up, the thought of going up against my brother would give anyone a sudden case of tummy aches."

Ky: "Jeez if only Kirino did beat your smug ass."

Da: "But she didn't, cause I'm just too awesome."

Ky: "But she almost did, if she just got one more hit in-"

Da: "Believe me she wouldn't have, Kirino was only able to hit me because she caught me off guard, I didn't expect a super-strength user like her to be so fast, after all I've dealt with plenty of super-speed runners. No matter how much she adapts or changes her strategy she'll get nowhere closer to beating me than on the first day we fought."

Ky: "…You really want me to beat the crap out of you don't you? You're practically begging for it now; you must be a masochist or something."

Da: "Uh."

Aoi: "Kousaka remember that your fight is currently with me, if you wish to assault my brother you must defeat me first."

Ky: "Yeah, I'm, uh, going to do that."

Aoi: "I look forward to testing your power and given how you did against Hiroyuki I hope that you will be a good challenge."

Ky: "Yeah…me too."

Aoi: "Though as you were fighting her I had a feeling you were holding back."

Ky: "Hm?"

Aoi: "I ask that you don't do the same with me."

Ky: "…Kay."

The heck is he talking about? I gave Arika everything I had, in fact I think I'm still pretty much tapped out on heat energy, all I can fight with now is ice.

We both got into position on the field as the shield projectors enclosed it.

"Okay, go!"

Aoi: "Since you're a special case Kousaka I'll give you the honor of the first strike."

Ky: "Sure, thanks."

I took the chance that I was given and ran up to Aoi, I then grabbed his arm to begin freezing him but just as my ice reached his elbow my vision was enveloped in a silent flash of bright light and I suddenly found myself slamming into the light wall I was standing in front of at the start of the match.

{Thunder}

Ky: "What just happened?"

I fell back to the ground flat on my face but as I attempted to get up I my muscles were acting crazy, I could barely stay on my hands and knees.

Ky: "Crap, I'm completely losing control of my body."

Aoi: "You may not be able to take damage, but you're still a normal human at some level and just like any human electricity wreaks havoc on your nervous system causing your muscles to disobey your commands."

Ky: "Dammit."

Aoi: "It seems that I got my hopes up for nothing, I'm sorry if I set my expectations too high for you."

Ky: "Not…going…to let it…end like this."

Aoi: "I admire your tenacity, at least you can lose with honor."

Aoi raised his hand as jolts of electricity arced between his fingers, he then closed his hand into a fist releasing larger arcs of electricity and with the force of a bolt of lightning struck it down on me.

{Thunder}

The strike slammed me down onto my stomach as it sent out a shockwave of electricity and made everything within a hundred feet shake violently.

Ki: "Kyousuke, get back up!"

"One…tw-"

Just as the moderator hit two I got back up but was only able to make it onto one knee.

Ah crap I can't barely even feel my body anymore, one more hit and I'll be completely paralyzed.

Da: "You can keep getting back up, but it's pointless since Aoi is just going push you back down again."

Aoi raised his arm again for another strike, but it was then that I decided to pull my plan of last resort out of my ass and hope that it works.

Ky: "Uh…hey what's that over there?"

Aoi: "…"

Ky: "Uuuh"

Ki: "…"

Da: "…"

Aoi: "Hm?"

That actually worked?!

Ki: "That actually worked?!"

Da: "That actually worked?!"

Not wanting to waste this chance I hobbled to the other side of the field while Aoi was distracted with the nonexistent object I pointed at and Daiki tried to get him to realize he was tricked.

Alright let's try to run the electricity out of my system and get back muscle control.

Aoi: "I don't see anything, eh? He's gone?"

Da: "Bro there's nothing over there! That asshole tricked you!"

Aoi: "Huh?"

Ki: "Hey that's interference!"

Da: "No it's not!"

"I'll allow it."

I reached the other side by the time Aoi figured out my trick, though once I got feeling back into my body Aoi sent a powerful lightning bolt to strike near my feet.

{Thunder}

The shockwave sent me flying forward, fortunately my body wasn't as badly electrocuted.

Aoi: "That was a clever trick you pulled Kousaka."

Da: "No it wasn't!"

Aoi: "But it ends here."

Crap, crap, crap, crap.

Aoi began to charge up another attack as I frantically tried to think up another strategy.

Ki: "Kyousuke why don't you freeze the ground?! I know you're saving that move for last resort but now I think it's a good time to use it."

Ky: "Actually…I completely forgot I could do that."

Ki: "…You really are an idiot."

Ky: "Why do you think I haven't been using that?"

Might as well see if this works.

Before Aoi could launch his attack I placed my hand on the ground and began to freeze it in an expanding circle of ice but just before it reached Aoi he diverted his attack to the ground which lit up with dozens of dancing arcs of electricity burning the grass and preventing the ground around him from freezing.

Aoi: "Most people who challenge me give up when they figure out they're outmatched, at least you show some resolve."

Ky: "That's good to hear at least."

Aoi: "Now time to finish this."

Da: "Hey bro how's about you give the people a show! Y'know go all out!"

Aoi: "While I can't do that since, regrettably, last time I almost killed my opponent and the shield projectors, I can at least go half way out."

Ky: "If you want to we might as well, It'll at least make my defeat more entertaining."

Aoi: "Alright then."

I guess rank 53 isn't so bad at least I got the free room, too bad I'll miss out on the hot tub…the hot tub…hm, what's taking so long.

I looked at Aoi to see what was wrong only to see he was standing completely still holding the palms of his hands half a foot apart, I tried to move but then I found out I was completely frozen in place as well.

Ky: "Guh!"

Then out of nowhere a sudden pressure impacted my brain and everything went black.

…Accessing data-stream, encryption active, dive set at 21%, threat of corruption at acceptable levels, assessing situation…downloading information, information downloaded, integrating information into memory sequence algorithm, integration successful, powering down, regaining consciousness…

Theodore's POV

It's weird, Aoi gets perfect scores in class, how could he fall for a trick like that? Guess he's just gullible.

"God Slayer are you there?"

I really don't like that code name.

"Yes ma'am I'm at the rooftop now observing the match, it doesn't seem like I'll have to take any action."

"No, you have to shoot him now!"

"What?! But he hasn't turned yet and it looks like he's about to lose anyway."

"Based on what I heard from the moderator that's not the case, he says Aoi is about to use an extremely powerful move and if Kyousuke feels like his life is being threatened his instincts will take over and he'll end up killing Aoi. You have to take the shot now to save him."

"B-but-"

"We can't take any chances; you have to save Aoi God Slayer or are you really valuing the life of a monster over that of an innocent child."

"…"

"We gave him a chance but he's just too dangerous, you saw what he did to those Death Lords, do you want that to happen to Aoi, take him out now God Slayer, that's an order!"

"…I'm taking the shot."

"Make it look like Aoi killed him, we'll inform him and Kirino afterwards so they don't think it's his fault and since everyone knows Kyousuke is immortal they most likely won't blame Aoi and think something just went wrong."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay here it comes, get ready."

"Hm."

{BoomBoomBoomBoomBooom}

{Bang}

"I can't see anything did you get him?"

"There's too much dust, I can't see anything either…okay it's clearing up."

"So what do you see?"

"W-what the hell?"

"What is it?!"

"He's still standing."

"You missed?!"

"No…no I didn't."

Kyousuke's POV

Aoi placed his hands together before large arcs of electricity began to dance around his body and the number seemed to increase into the hundreds within seconds, he became so bright that he was almost hard to look at. He then pulled his hands apart stretching out ropes of electricity while he spread his arms out as wide as possible and even more larger arcs of electricity started engulfing his body like a berserk tesla coil burning lines into the ground around him. Finally, he slammed his hands back together and in an almost blinding flash that darkened the area he sent out a thirty foot tall tsunami of lightning in my direction practically carpet bombing the entire field and nearly shattering the walls of light.

{BoomBoomBoomBoomBooom}

A ton of dust was kicked up and thankfully the light walls held, as for me I was lying on the ground flat on my back completely…unharmed?

Ky: "Huh?"

As the dust cleared I got up and I could see that the entire field was scorched, barren and covered in little craters and small fires.

Aoi: "U-uh."

Ki: "Huh?"

Da: "Eh?!"

Aoi: "How…how are you still standing?"

Ky: "I don't know."

Da: "Bro! Don't stop now, keep going at it."

Aoi: "Uh right."

{Thunder}

Aoi charged another bolt and shot it at me at full power slamming me against the light wall, but other than a slight tingling I didn't feel anything.

Ky: "Eh?"

No spasms, no twitching, I still had full control of my body. I got up again confused as to what was going on, it was then that I noticed little sparks of electricity jumping around my body that eventually dissipated.

Ky: "What the?"

Aoi: "Eh?"

Da: "Oh crap."

Aoi: "…No, can't stop now."

Aoi came out of his confusion and charged up again this time shooting multiple lightning strikes.

Ky: "Shit."

Acting fast I dodged his strikes just barely avoiding each one as they struck with explosive force.

I may be immune to lightning now for some reason but that doesn't mean his bolts don't hit like trucks.

{ThunderThunderThunderThunder}

Ki: "Kyousuke! Try to get closer!"

Ky: "Are you nuts? I'm barely dodging him!"

Ki: "Well do you plan to keep doing that until the moderator decides to end the match?!"

Guess she's got a point, besides I was going to throw in the towel earlier, though when I got this new ability I was hoping it would be a game changer.

{Thunder}

Ky: "Gah!"

Crap that was close doesn't this guy ever run out of juice? Well I've got nothing to lose, might as well go in and try for something.

Changing my course, I headed towards Aoi while running in a serpentine pattern and I did the best I could to read his body movements to figure out where he's aiming. I successfully dodged one, then another, the third I had to slide under to dodge, the fourth just barely grazed me, I was getting closer and closer. As soon as I got close enough I lunged forward and attempted to grab Aoi's arm but before I could he aimed his hand down at the ground between us and sent out a massive bolt

{THUNDER}

It hit with enough force to blow us both backwards and took out an eighth of his own hit points.

Ky: "…Ah, dammit."

Aoi: "This has never happened before {gasp} I actually lost some hit points, even if it is by my own hand {gasp} your tactics may be unorthodox Kousaka but you truly fight like a soldier, refusing failure no matter what."

Ky: "Well I'd rather not be the type of guy to go down like a wuss."

I can't get near him or hit him from a distance, I get a new mysterious ability but I'm still back at square one, heh story of my life, guess it's time to pull something else out of my ass.

Aoi: "My previous advanced attack was merely for show since it wasn't really targeted, but I think it's best to focus my power directly onto you from now on before you pull something else out of your sleeve."

Aoi began to charge up again, putting his palms together, stretching out ropes of electricity and lightning jumping out of his body.

Alright I've had zero practice with this since the last time I used it, but maybe if I push the temperature over my pain nullification threshold as soon as possible I'll be able to use it effectively, okay let's go for it.

Aoi: "There's no use in dodging this one since it's a homing attack and it should hit you with enough force to knock you out!"

Suddenly all the electricity around Aoi disappeared but his hands were enveloped in spheres of solid bluish white light and it looked like he was in some pain.

Aoi: "Now you will fall!"

Aoi then drew his arms back before thrusting them forward but before he let out his attack I held my hand up in an attempt to block his next bolt with my next hail Mary. After Aoi had thrust out his arm what came out was probably the biggest bolt of lightning I've ever seen and it was bright enough to darken the area again. I was expecting to be hit with a force equivalent to a hypersonic jet but instead as soon as the bolt hit my hand it split into dozens of smaller bolts that struck the wall behind me, again nearly shattering it.

Da: "Again?!"

Ki: "…Ahah! Yeah Kyousuke!"

Did that actually work?

Aoi: "Damn, you really are full of surprises, {gasp} I'm actually getting tired and my arms are starting to burn."

When I looked at my hand I was expecting to see that ball of transparent fire instead there was a perfect one foot wide sphere of see-through red-orange light, it looked like a holographic ball.

Ky: "Whoa I'm actually doing it."

Aoi: "Keep your head in the game Kousaka because I haven't given up just yet!"

Aoi took another normal shot at me but like before I scattered it with my heat barrier but out of nowhere a second bolt struck me in the chest sending me tumbling.

Aoi: "I now have to resort to using both hands at once."

Dammit, I better find a way to make this thing bigger or better yet flatter.

In that moment of inspiration, I move the sphere to the middle of my forearm and with surprisingly little concentration it flattened into a circular spinning shield just as another of Aoi's double bolts struck and it was able to scatter them both.

This is so weird it just bends to my will, definitely not used to that…but it almost feels like instinct.

Two more bolts struck the shield and again they were easily scattered.

I think I've actually got this...I can win with this!

"We've hit the twenty-minute mark! You have four more minutes to finish the match, if it ends in a tie then the principle will pick a winner!"

Ky: "Then I better get to it, ready to wrap this up Aoi?!"

Aoi: "Absolutely, show me what you can do Kousaka!"

Ki: "Come on Kyousuke you can do this!"

Da: "Murder him bro!"

After reabsorbing my shield I ran at Aoi, when I got half way to him I could see he was charging up so I readied myself to open the shield again. But the instead of a bolt he shot out a smaller more focused version of his carpet lightning attack that rapidly headed in my direction knowing I couldn't dodge left or right I quickly decided take an alternate route.

Guess I'm doing it on purpose this time.

I created a heat sphere but tried to make it as small as possible almost becoming a tiny sun before aiming it to the ground, angling my arm in the right direction and releasing the wound up energy in a steaming explosion that rocketed me up and over the arcs of lighting. Though given that I used an explosion as a method of flight it was no surprise that I ended up disoriented in midair but the adrenaline pumping through me allowed me to focus enough to right myself and accidentally intentionally make a near perfect rolling landing. But just as I got back on my feet Aoi had another bolt aimed at me but I was successfully able reform my shield and project it out of the palm of my hand just in time to block the attack.

Whoa since when did I get a reaction time like that? It was almost automatic.

Without any time to think on that I dodged more attacks, I kept moving forward.

"Ten seconds!"

Before I got in range I compressed another ball of heat with my free hand.

"Seven!"

Aoi threw more bolts at me which I scattered with my shield, then when Aoi saw I was getting close again he aimed at the ground again for another blow back attack. But I sped up and just as he let it loose I positioned my tiny concentrated heat ball under it and they both collided.

Ky: "I WANT. THAT. HOTTUB!"

"Four!"

The collision then caused a high impact explosion almost shattering the walls and immediately filled the area with steam.

"One! {Whistle!} Match over!"

The shield projectors then broke down the barriers all of them doubling over in exhaustion and the steam began to flow over the bleachers like a mist instead of rising like steam and blocked the display screen.

Ki: "Brrr why is it suddenly so cold?"

I laid there with my face in the ground and covered in frost for some reason and my hand stuck in something hard and cold.

Ky: "Ugh, did I win?"

I managed to get myself into sitting up position but then I felt something small and cold gently land on my face, then another and another.

Ky: "Snow?"

Ki: "It's snowing?"

"But how?"

"Wow they made snow!"

The snow stopped within a minute and the mist dissipated revealing the results of the match on the screen.

|K.K.: 100% health, fully conscious|

|A.I.: 0% health, partially conscious|

"{Whistle} Winner Kyousuke Kousaka!"

Ki: "…Alriiiiiight!"

Da: "Wha?"

I had beaten Aoi and everyone was sent into a cheering frenzy, I tried to get up but then I remembered I was still stuck and looked up to see my hand was trapped inside a twenty foot spikey ice ball that stood at the epicenter of the explosion. Though before I could contemplate on how it got there I was suddenly pulled out and swung around by Kirino.

Ki: "You did it! You did it! You did it!"

Ky: "Ugh! Kirino put me down, I'm about to puke!"

Ki: "Sorry."

Da: "Aoi!"

As I was on all fours trying to keep from ralphing up my lunch Daiki ran past us to check on his brother, when I turned my head to look it seemed he was stuck in the ice crystal too, so after I caught my breath I got up and walked over to him.

Ky: "Hey Aoi, you need some help?"

Aoi: "If you don't mind."

I drew up what little heat I could from the ground since I used everything up in that last attack then I applied it to the ice around Aoi's hand to melt it out, once it was thawed out enough he pulled his hand out the rest of the way.

Aoi: "Thanks, you fought well Kousaka, congratulations on winning."

Ky: "Thanks and even if I lost it would've been an honor to lose to you."

We shook hands in a show of good sportsmanship which the crowd gave their approval of by chanting my name.

"Kyou-suke! Kyou-suke! Kyou-suke!"

Aoi: "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go lie down before the strain of this battle begins wreaking havoc on my nerve endings."

Ky: "That sounds painful."

Aoi: "It is VERY painful."

Ky: "So Daiki…looks like it's me and you next."

Da: "Eep."

Ky: "Hmhmhmhehehehehehehehe."

Ki: "Kyousuke! Now's not the time for maniacal laughter, we have to get you fixed up first, then you can go all super villain on ice boy's ass."

Ky: "Yeah, Yeah I'm coming."

Da: "…Goodbye innocence."

Elsewhere

"So looks like you were wrong Director."

"Not now Theodore."

Ar: "Hm, my new man meat lives to see another day."

"Still this doesn't mean he's home free, there's still the matter of testing the Rewrite protocol."

"No disrespect ma'am but you do know that Rewriting operations have never worked even once, there's always someone that it doesn't work on."

"That's why we're testing it, but I'm sure this time will be different, my powers have grown stronger and I have all confidence that no one will be able to resist it and if it is successful then Japan won't be the one that pays the price if things go wrong."

Ar: "Come on ma'am why can't we let him stay?"

"I'm with her, even the Americans think it would probably be best to keep him here."

"Well the prime minister is still on the fence about the decision, but he told us that if this was successful then he would hand him over for the U.S. military scientists to deal with."

Ar: "What makes you think it'll work this time, uh, ma'am?"

"Trust me it will?"

Ar: "Unless it turns out little sis is immune."

"What?"

Ar: "Nothing."

"But still Theodore, how did you miss? You're one of the best marksmen I know and didn't your rifle have a built in aim-assist."

"I didn't miss."

Ar: "So apparently in this reality not hitting your target doesn't count as missing."

"Unless you're admitting you did it intentionally."

"No, just look at this."

Ar: "What is that?"

"It's a still image I took from one of the security cameras that monitor the field and it takes place right after I took the shot."

Ar: "So what exactly are we looking at?"

"See that patch of dead grass."

"What about it?"

"That's where my bullet landed, now notice It's position in relation to Kyousuke and my position on the roof top."

Ar: "Huh?"

"…That would mean…in order for the bullet to have landed there…it would have had to pass right through him without even touching him."

"Exactly."

"Which means he Dove."

"For about .03 seconds."

"Oh Nikola."

"Hehe Nicky you're finally here."

"Hey there Theo long time no see."

"Where are the kids?"

"I had a friend of mine take them around town while I worked."

"Damn I really wanted to see them."

"They should be back in a couple of hours but anyway here are the charts Ms. Kirishima, it shows an extremely short but massive energy spike right as Theo took his shot."

"I see, but I have a feeling that this means something more."

"Yes, I actually overviewed the footage of the match and I'm pretty sure you noticed what I saw too."

"Are you talking about the change in his powers and skill after the spike?"

"Yes."

"I already inferred that there was a link between them."

"It's more than just that, Kyousuke is an odd case as it is, he's the only subject to develop indestructability this early on. It would be natural for someone like him to lose his sense of fear and since a Dive is only initiated by an intense feeling of fear you'd think someone like him wouldn't be able to Dive. Yet he has done so three time already and on the third time even dove without any noticeable trigger and achieved instinctual knowledge integration."

Ar: "What are you getting at?"

"What can you correlate from his first two Dives?"

"…"

"In the first two there was someone in life threatening danger."

"Correct Theo."

Ar: "Yeah that's right, in the first one his sister was about to get creamed by that Juicer Monster."

"and in the second one him and that child he was guiding were cornered by a Death Lord."

"Okay but how would that trigger him, I thought you said Dives only trigger when the subject was in fear of their own life."

"That's what I thought Kirishima but all my previous test subjects were people with none or very strained ties to other people so they cared very little for their lives. But it seems here is where Kyousuke is an exception, he does at least have a few strong ties and to one person especially."

"Who would that be?"

Ar: "Who do you think?"

"The one person that has shown him the most support and that we didn't have to pay off to act nice to him and, from what I've heard, has been putting out crazy positive vibes in his presence."

"That's right, because of that bond between them he has done something I never thought would ever be possible, he has linked his subconscious to his Core."

"Really!?"

"Yes and his most recent dive is proof that the link is becoming stronger."

"How so?"

"Because he didn't try to kill Theo, he properly assessed the situation, saw that Aoi wasn't a threat, could sense Theo's reluctance to kill him and acted accordingly. Seeing it was a better option write in new instinctual knowledge into his brain to use outside of Dives rather than drawing it out beyond momentarily warping his physical shape to dodge the bullet."

"And he did all that subconsciously in less than a second?"

"Yes, for the first time in my years of research a subject has shown signs of…control."

"…"

Ar: "So much for him being an out of control monster."

Kyousuke's POV

Holy crap!

"Alright young man just lay down and we'll get you fixed right up."

Kirino had brought me to the nurse's office again but this time I was conscious enough to actually meet the nurses who were, not to sound rude, incredibly fat.

Ky: "…"

Ki: "Kyousuke stop staring!?"

I did as the nurse said and laid down on the bed, the nurse then sat down next to me and gently grabbed onto my arm, for a few minutes nothing happened then I suddenly felt better, more rejuvenated as if I had just come back from a week long vacation.

"Alright there you go."

Ky: "Wow thanks I feel so much better~"

"Good, but take a few minutes to allow everything to settle, okay?"

Ky: "Yes ma'am."

The nurse then left to attend to her other duties.

Ky: "Is she one of those Sacrificial healers?"

Ki: "Yeah."

Ky: "Isn't that dangerous?"

Ki: "Yeah but she has the Ursine metabolism side effect so she can use it more safely."

Exposition: Sacrificial Healers are people with the ability to heal anyone they touch by sacrificing a part of their own body, for normal people this would be dangerous. But with Ursine metabolism which, as the name suggests, gives you the metabolism of a bear allowing a human to gain large amounts of fat without any negative effects to their health, giving sacrificial healers the ability to use up their fat before using the more vital parts of their bodies for healing.

Ki: "Hey Kyousuke?"

Ky: "Yeah?"

Ki: "How did you do all that back there? Those upgraded balls of heat, energy barriers, those amazing superhuman reflexes, you were literally dodging lightning and then becoming immune to electricity, you couldn't do any of that before but now you're doing it like it's no sweat."

Ky: "…Honestly I'm just as surprised as you, one second I was cornered by Aoi and the next thing I know I gain a bunch of strange new abilities that help me win an unwinnable battle. I also felt a weird feeling go through my chest for like a split second."

Ki: "Through?"

Ky: "Yeah like something cold flew through my body like a ghost."

Ki: "Jeez with all this weird stuff that's going on with you I'm going to start to think you're some alien."

Ky: "Heh maybe I am."

Ki: "Well if you're feeling better let's get back to the field so you can finish the last match."

Ky: "Yeah! I'm gonna ass blast that Daiki!"

I got off the bed and followed Kirino to the door but made sure to thank the nurse before I left.

"Thanks again ma'am."

"No problem young man."

Ky: "Man I feel so energized."

Ki: "Well that's our nurses' specialty, so are you ready to finish this?"

Ky: "I don't know why we're building this up, we all know I'm just going to shove a stick up his ass mop the floor with him."

Ki: "Yeah you're right, get out there."

I walked through the double doors again and walked to the field and as before I grabbed the head band and took my position on the field opposite to Daiki while the crowd cheered me on.

"Kyou-suke! Kyou-suke! Kyou-suke!"

I could get used to this…no…no it's best not to get full of myself, or else I might piss Kirino off.

Ky: "Alright Daiki I may have narrowly defeated your ultra badass of a brother, but that doesn't you should be scared of me, after all you two are supposed to be evenly matched, right?"

Da: "U-uh y-yeah sure."

Ky: "Besides you've been annoying the crap out of me about how much you wanted me to kick your ass to the moon~ And given the good person I am it'll be my pleasure to give you what you want."

"And begin!"

Ky: "Okay let's do thi-"

{Cracklacklackle!}

Ki: "Shit!"

Before I could act Daiki immediately encased me in a massive mountain of solid ice, though due to the impurity of the ice nobody could see me forcing the moderator to count down from ten instead of three.

"Ten…nine…"

Da: "Try {gasp} getting out of that {pant} you bastard."

Ki: "Come on Kyousuke."

"Six…fi-"

{Hissssss}

Da: "Eh?!"

Just as the moderator reached five I finally tunneled my way out of the mountain of ice.

Ky: "Thought you got me there didn't yoAAAH- {slip}."

Before I could finish my witty retort I slipped on the ice face first.

Ky: "Ugh, like a gazelle."

With my face in the ground Daiki tried to salvage his desperate situation by attempting to freeze me again.

{Cracklacklack-}

Fortunately he wasn't as fast as before so I was able to distribute large amounts of heat throughout my body to negate his attack.

Ky: "Nice try getting my while I'm down."

Da: "Why aren't you freezing?!"

Ky: "I'm pretty sure Kirino already explained this to you, I can maintain enough heat throughout my body to prevent you from freezing me, so how about you stop embarrassing yourself and just accept that you lost."

Da: "Like hell I wil-"

{Boom!}

Before he could make another attack I immediately charged a concentrated heat ball and released it at him to shut him up and remove a quarter of his HP.

Ky: "Damn that felt good."

Da: "You, there's no way I'm losing to you!"

Seeing there was no way for him to beat me with his powers Daiki decided to fight me hand to hand but given that I was bigger than him I was easily able to hold him back.

Ky: "Listen here Daiki, for as long as I can remember you've been an all-around little asshole, taking credit for my sister's achievements, insulting her at every turn and just being a plain unpleasant person to her in general. All because you have a power nobody in this school can counter…hm, well I think knocking you down a few pegs will be a good learning experience for you, so today we'll begin your course in Kyousuke Kousaka's multistep guide being a better person~ Lesson one…"

I grabbed Daiki by his collar, charged up another shot and planted it against his chest.

Ky: "Start treating people with a little empathy."

{BOOM!}

I fired sending Daiki slamming into the opposite wall badly cracking it and wiping out all his HP, once I knew I was victorious I turned to the crowd with a straight face.

Ky: "{Peace} Victory."

"{Whistle} Winner Kyousuke Kousaka."

"Whoooo!"

"The Isamus have finally been deposed!"

"So much for him not being overpowered."

"Kyou-suke! Kyou-suke! Kyou-suke!"

After the light walls were broken down I walked over to Kirino though out of sheer excitement I started picking up my pace and I could see her expression rise into excitement too as I got closer then once I was in range we both held up our hands and smacked them together in a hard jovial high-five.

{Smack!}

Ky&Ki: "Yeah!"

Ky: "I can't believe we actually did it!"

Ki: "I know, I was half expecting Daiki to pull out some ex Machina bullcrap to make you lose, but we really did it!"

"Congratulations Mr. Kousaka, you are the new 1st rank, finally, the principal will be here shortly to present you with your reward."

Ki: "This is so exciting! I was honestly not expecting you to make it past the second round but now here you are!"

Ky: "I know right!?"

Sa: "Congratulations you two!"

Just as we were beginning our little celebration the others came down from the bleachers to join us.

Ru: "I knew you could do it Kyousuke!"

Ka: "Wow you actually did it."

Ay: "You were so amazing against Aoi and Daiki, I never thought anyone could beat them!"

Ky: "I know I'm so happy right now, {sniff} my lifetime losing streak is finally over!"

"Mr. Kousaka?"

Just then the principle came up to me.

"It's time to present you your reward in front of everybody, please follow me."

Instead of the stereotypical tubby bald guy I was expecting he was a thin, tired eyed, slouching guy with a full head of light and dark grey hair. I followed him to the middle of the field and turned to face him as he pulled out a small case which he pulled a medal out of, he then began to speak into a microphone attached to his shirt's lapel and his voice began to sound through the speaker system.

"Congratulations Mr. Kousaka on winning the annual CHA Re-ranking tournament and attaining 1st rank among the over three hundred student heroes and to commemorate this occasion I present to you this medal of victory along with one million school credits and the keys to the penthouse at the student hero dorm."

The principle then placed the medal over my head.

Ky: "Thank you sir."

"And this concludes this year's Re-ranking tournament, students please pick up any garbage on your way out and make it home safely, dismissed."

After concluding the tournament, the principle walked off while the students filed out of the bleachers with many of them coming up to congratulate me, take pictures with me and make offers to come and party with them.

"Dude you've gotta come out with us, we are going to get you laid!"

"No you have to come with me and my girlfriends to karaoke!"

Ky: "Uh thanks but-"

Ki: "'Scuse me, pardon me, just need to get to my brother."

It was then that Kirino came nudging her way through the crowd to reach me and began to politely address the crowd with Kanako helping to increase the volume of her voice.

Ki: "Okay everyone! I know you all want to meet my brother after his resounding victory over the Isamu siblings but right now he has other responsibilities that he needs to attend to so if you would all please leave him be for now so he can get to them!"

The crowd agreed amongst each other to do as Kirino said and they dispersed to head home for the weekend several giving me pats on the back and words of congratulation on their way.

Ky: "That went better than expected."

Ka: "Yep and come next week you'll be getting a lot of new fair-weather friends."

Ki: "Alright guys we're having a sleep over party at my house tonight! So go get everything you need and meet me at the front gates in a half hour."

Uni: "Aye aye!"

The girls left and I tried to follow but Kirino grabbed my hand and dragged me in a different direction.

Ki: "Where do you think you're going idiot?"

Ky: "Back to the apartment to relax after all that."

Ki: "You can do that after you help me with some things."

Ky: "And what would that be?"

Ki: "We're going to hit up the campus convenience store and pick up a ton of snacks, your treat."

Ky: "My treat?!"

Ki: "Yeah, you did just get a fat stack of school credits."

Ky: "Oh yeah."

So I let Kirino pull me along though for some reason she wouldn't let go of my hand the entire way and only let go once we got to the entrance.

Ki: "Here we are."

Ky: "Huh this place is pretty neat."

The store wasn't very big, it was like a small grocery store, with fresh produce, meat, various cooking ingredients, all the junk food you'd usually find in an average "stop and shop" type of store and lots of other non-food items. As I was lost in thought Kirino grabbed a basket and headed straight for the junk food aisle and I followed behind her.

Ky: "Man today has been a long day, I can't wait to just head back to the apartment and relax."

Ki: "Yep you really came out on top today and next week we'll both be relaxing in the penthouse suite!"

Ky: "I'm coming my sweet hot tub."

Ki: "…You know, with everything that's happened our relationship has really come a long way hasn't it?"

Ky: "Yeah, just a few months ago I couldn't stand you, now it's kind of nice being around you, despite your abrasiveness."

Ki: "Hm right back at you, idiot~"

Ky: "Guess all that time we spent training together payed off in more ways than we expected."

Ki: "…Hey?"

Ky: "Yeah?"

Ki: "What's my favorite color?"

Ky: "Well that came out of nowhere, pink of course, why do you ask?"

Ki: "Just checking."

Ky: "Okay then what's my favorite color."

Ki: "Eh?...Uh blue?"

Ky: "Close what kind of blue?"

Ki: "I didn't ask you that."

Ky: "That's because you wouldn't have, you like every shade of pink."

Ki: "Okay, uh…Dark blue?"

Ky: "Hm seems like you really put a lot of thought into that answer so I'll just tell you."

Ki: "Hmm."

Ky: "It's sort of a tie between navy blue and midnight blue."

Ki: "I see, I'll make sure to remember that."

She's not going to.

After getting everything Kirino needed along with a few things for me to take home we checked out and headed for the exit.

Ki: "Alright give me those."

Ky: "Give you what?"

Ki: "My stuff what else?"

Ky: "Uh don't you need me to help you carry it?"

Ki: "What kind of girl do you think I am idiot? I'm strong enough to carry everything by myself."

Ky: "Okay."

Ki: "Now take your things and get back to the apartment, I'll be back tomorrow so do whatever you want tonight."

Ky: "Okay then, I'll see you later."

Ki: "…Oh! And uh…"

Ky: "Yeah?"

Ki: "…Make sure to get plenty of rest."

Ky: "Heh yeah yeah, see you tomorrow."

I turned away from Kirino one last time before heading back, once I got inside I put my stuff away accept for the Cracka-Cola, I took a couple of swigs and noticed that it tasted a little funny. But I ignored it and flopped onto the couch and switched on the TV though about a few minutes later I started to feel increasingly drowsy.

Man I'm more tired than I thought, maybe I'll just nap for a little.

So I laid back, got comfortable and went off to dreamland completely unaware of what would happen after I completely passed out.

Kirino's POV

It's already 1:12 A.M. we're down in the living room, the snacks are all but decimated and the girls and I are thinking of calling it a night after we finish our game of truth or dare. Ayase had already made an incredibly awkward prank call, Saori answered no when asked if she has an arranged fiancé and I painted my face to look like a clown.

Ka: "Alright cat girl truth or dare?"

Ru: "U-uh d-dare."

Ka: "Okay, I dare you to temporarily dye your hair pink."

Ru: "E-eh?!"

Ki: "Haha you have to do it, it's a dare!"

Ru: "Fine."

Kanako and Ruri rose from their seats and after Kanako grabbed a can of easy wash hair coloring from her pack they both went out to the backyard leaving the rest of us to wait for them.

Ay: "Hmm how do you think Kyousuke is doing by himself?"

Ki: "Meh he's probably already out cold in front of the TV by now."

Sa: "I wouldn't be surprised if he collapsed on the floor the moment he got home from the day he's had."

Ay: "I still can't believe he beat Aoi and Daiki and became the new 1st rank, your brother is really amazing."

Ki: "…He's okay…though he kind of just pulled that win completely out of his ass, if it wasn't for his dumb luck he'd be in the bottom half of the Hero dorm bunked up with some other loser."

Ay: "Kirino why are you always so mean to your brother?"

Ki: "I really don't know how to answer that, that's just the way things are between us. It just feels natural and he doesn't seem to mind it that much, heck sometimes he even throws my sass right back at me."

Sa: "Which you then reward with a swift kick to the shin."

Ki: "But still he did get us into the penthouse, now all he has to do is make me his new partner and our plan will be a surprising success."

Ay: "Then you can invite us there for your slumber parties from now on."

Ki: "You know it, well at least for this year maybe, I'm always hearing rumors that hereditary super humans get stronger with each generation so who know what kind of newcomers we'll be facing next time."

Ka: "Alright guys here she comes."

Ki: "Come out Ruri~"

Sa: "Come on show us your new hairdo."

Ruri then stepped in from the backyard to reveal her completely pink hair.

Ki: "PAAAAHAHAHA! You look like some magical girl!"

Ru: "Says the slutty clown."

We continued with the game finally making Saori do a dare which involved her doing something she really didn't like doing…jumping rope and we could see why she disliked it so much with how the overfilled water balloons on her chest jiggled around like jello in an earthquake. With the game finished we finally went to bed.

The Next Day

We woke up and went down to eat breakfast that mom had prepared, after taking some time to wake up and watch the news for today's weather we all packed our things and headed out.

Yo: "Are you sure you don't want to stay Kirino?"

Ki: "I'd like to mom but there are things I have to take care of at school before the end of the weekend."

Yo: "Okay then sweetie, be safe on your way."

Ki: "Okay bye."

I got in the taxi and quickly arrived back at the campus.

Looks like it's just going to be me and Kyousuke this weekend~ And once we get moved into the penthouse we can spend the rest of the weekend playing eroge together~

I excitedly got inside and took the elevator up to the apartment but once I opened the door the place was empty.

Hm? Jeez that idiot is probably still asleep, but if he's not on the couch th-then he's…in my bed!?

I quickly rush to my room and slammed the door open expecting to see him snuggled up in my blankets but was surprised to see the bed empty.

Not here? Maybe he's in Ayase's bed…no I doubt he's the type of guy to just use other people's things without permission…though maybe not.

I quickly walked over to Ayase's room only to find it empty too.

Ki: "Not here either."

Where could that idiot be? …Why does my chest suddenly hurt?

I left the apartment and went to look for him outside, I headed to the nearest public area on campus witch was a small botanical garden. I wandered for a little seeing if he was relaxing under a tree or grabbing something from one of the fruit trees but he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

Where is that friggin idiot!?

My chest began to throb again as I kept looking but it was then I noticed a familiar head of spiky blue hair sitting on a stool in front of a canvas on an easel.

Aoi: "No the red needs to be brighter, Hm? Oh, greetings Kirino."

Ki: "Hey Aoi, is this what you do on your weekends?"

Aoi: "Not every weekend but it is a hobby of mine."

Ki: "I see, anyways have you seen Kyousuke?"

Ar: "Who?"

Ki: "You know, my older brother."

Ar: "Since when did you have an older brother?"

Ki: "Eh?"

AN: Yeah I think this is a good spot to end it, just off the edge of the cliff, a cliffhanger if you will. Well anyway I hope you enjoyed this update because like I said in the last chapter of Spirit Child updates are going to be few and far between from now on but definitely guaranteed, so I hope you can all be patient and bear with me, so until next time stay coooool.
