Well...can't spoil it, so you will have to read on to find out, so buckle up, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 12: Shinjitsu no Shunkan

A week later, the scene shifts at the water park of Hope's Peak Academy, where Natsumi is walking around, looking for something to take pictures of, hoping that there would be some action here, and so far there are no activities sighted and she sighed as this would make her feel bored, and she patiently waited for something to arrive, as she is holding her camera and wondered if there is any progress on whether she would be transferred to the main course or not.

By then Hinata passed by and saw Natsumi sitting on a bench and he greeted her which she just nodded in reply, and he saw her holding her camera and he deduced that she is about to take a picture and asks her what is she glong to do, and she said that she is waiting for an opportunity to take a picture, and he looked around seeing that everything looked peaceful so far.

"Are you sure? The park appeared to be peaceful so far..."

"I'm waiting for an opportunity..."

"Wait...is that...your hidden talent...?"

"Maybe...I just...rediscovered it...I used to be in a photography class in my last school..."

"And you think this would get the scouts to notice you?"

"Who knows?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

Their conversation was interrupted when they heard voices and they deduced that it came from behind a thick bush, and when they peered through, they saw a group of delinquents, who managed to sneak their way inside Hope's Peak, are pinning down a main course student, about six of them, three holding her down while three more are undressing her, and both Hinata and Natsumi realized that they stumbled on an attempted rape scene, and the delinquents are threatening the victim with knives.

"Don't move..."

"And don't scream..."

"Or we kill you..."

"Please...don't...!"

"We want your PUSSY...nothing more..."

"We promise that we will take you to HEAVEN..."

"And we will do it right now..."

"Please...no...!"

Hinata was about to rush in but Natsumi uncharacteristically restrained him, telling him that he is outnumbered and may ended up getting himself and the victim killed, resulting in the two bickering over the matter, but then respite came as Kazuo Tengan stumbled on the scene and kindly asks the delinquents to release the victim and turn themselves in, which the delinquents scoffed at Tengan's words and they intend to eliminate any witnesses and rape the victim unabashed.

"What was that, old man?"

"You think you can stop us?"

"Tough luck for you..."

"Yeah...we will kill anyone who sees us..."

"Too bad you are no exception..."

"Please...do not waste away your youths over this kind of escapade..."

"Shut up, you old bastard!"

"Here we come, you senior retard!"

Seeing how defiant the delinquents are, Tengan approached the delinquents, and three of them intercepted the former headmaster as they brought out their knives and began to attack him, but Tengan began to display his fighting stance, and Hinata was surprised to see that Tengan is willing to take them as he believed that Tengan does not stand a chance, but Natsumi aimed her camera as she sees that another SCOOP has presented itself.

As the three delinquents charged, they tried to stab the elderly man, but Tengan disabled them in a swift motion and knocked them out while the knives fell to the ground, shocking the remaining delinquents as Hinata stared in surprise as Natsumi took pictures of the action, and there Tengan urged the remaining delinquents to turn themselves in but the teens were defiant and vowed that they will not turn themselves in to anyone.

"No way! I won't let myself get captured!"

"My cock is craving for more! I will kill you if I have to so I won't go to jail!"

"Fuck you, you old man!"

"Please...you kids need to..."

"Fuck your advise, you elderly asshole!"

"Let's kill him and find another place to screw this bitch!"

"Got it!"

"You kids left me with no choice..."

The delinquents began to attack Tengan and the elderly man responded with several kicks and punches, knocking them silly and in less than two minutes the delinquents are defeated and he helps up the victim and assured to her that she is safe, which she thanked Tengan for the help, and by then security passed by and Tengan told the guard to call the police, and several minutes later, the delinquents are picked up by the police and things went back to normal, and Hinata sighed as the incident went under wraps and wondered if this would affect the academy's safety standings yet he sweat-dropped as Natsumi is smiling as she gets to collect pictures of Tengan in action and gently berated her for that.

"Kuzuryuu-san..."

"What?"

"You just saw what happened and all you do is take pictures?"

"So?"

"You could have..."

"Mr. Tengan took them down...the perverts ate dealt with...so there is no need for..."

"You know...one day you'll..."

"It's none of your business..."

By then Naegi passed by the scene and saw the police car leaving, and he asks Hinata what just happened and was told about the incident, and he was quite surprised that the delinquents somehow managed to sneak in and almost raped a student. He wondered how those delinquents managed to sneak in without being noticed, and by then Sakakura told the three teens to go home, which Hinata nodded, and told Naegi and Natsumi about it.

She sighed a bit as she is hoping for more action to take place but she puts her camera inside her bag and is ready to leave, but in her haste she accidentally bumped into Naegi, which he also accidentally bumped in to her, causing them to blush at the awkward scene and Natsumi is flustered and came up with an excuse just to get away from him, much to the Luckster's surprise.

"Hey!"

"Eh?"

"You did that on purpose...didn't you?"

"No...I did not..."

"A-are you sure...?"

"Yes...I...um...you're blushing..."

"Eeep!"

"Huh?"

Natsumi backed away before leaving, and a blushing Naegi wondered what is going on, while Hinata noted her actions, and is rather surprised to see her like this, and slowly wondered if Natsumi is like that if and when Naegi is around. After Naegi left, Hinata left as well and things went off quietly without incident, and as usual, the Steering Committee is at work in trying to contain the incident in order to preserve the academy's repuatation.

-x-

At the Kuzuryu manor, the scene shows that Natsumi is at the garden, having arrived, and she is still flustered, and blushing, over the fact that she made another accidental contact with Naegi, and until now she is still in denial about this, not realizing that she is getting more and more drawn to Naegi, and by then Pekoyama arrived, and approached Natsumi as she accidentally saw what happened earlier, and suggested to her to calm down and try to befriend Naegi slowly, which Natsumi appeared reluctant to try what Pekoyama suggests.

"You think I should do that?"

"Of course...so you can get to know him more..."

"Hmph."

"At least give it a try, Natsumi-sama...one you get to know about him, then you can decide whether to become friends with him or not."

"I don't know..."

"It is alright, Natsumi-sama...you have nothing to lose."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

Pekoyama told Natsumi that she has nothing to lose and said that it was through Naegi that her hidden talent has been re-awaken, and told her that Naegi is not a very extravagant boy and she is sure that Naegi would accept her offer of friendship if she gives it a try, and Natsumi gives it a thought as she is unsure what Naegi would think of her should he find out that she is a daughter of a mafia boss, though she has no idea that Naegi is aware of this fact.

As Natsumi leaves, Pekoyama watches her leave, but then Fuyihiko showed up and asks her why she gave Natsumi that kind of advise, saying that he still does not trust Naegi, yet she said that Naegi is harmless and said that she only suggested to Natsumi to try befriending him but he said that he still does not trust him and believed that his LUCK might lead him CLAIM her virginity, and Natsumi accidentally heard this and smacked her elder brother on the head.

KA-BLAG!

"Ow!"

"What the hell did you say, nii-sama?!"

"Natsumi!"

"There is no way am I going to lose my virginity to someone! And you're exaggerating too much!"

"I'm just worried about you!"

"Well I'm fine, thank you!"

"Stop acting like a spoiled brat!"

"Then go drink milk!"

Pekoyama sweat-dropped at the scene and wondered if she should step in and pry the siblings apart, but then a servant came and told the siblings that dinner is almost ready, and the three teens stopped their actions and nodded before going inside the house, and things went peaceful at the time being, and the night sets in till everyone went to bed and went to sleep.

-x-

A few days later, the scene shifts inside the reserve course building where you can see Natsumi approaching Hinata and asks him if he has any hidden talent, which he answered honestly and asks him if he has any particular hobbies, suggesting that if he has one, she thinks that it might help him discover his talent, which he appeared skeptical since he knows that he really has no particular talent.

"Seriously? You don't even have a hobby?"

"Well...no...not at the moment, Kuzuryuu..."

"You should at least try to find one...or else the scouts at the main course won't notice you."

"I know, Kuzuryuu-san..."

"Hmph...well, its your life...so I guess it us up to you if you..."

"I'm fine, Kuzuryuu-san..."

"Well, whatever..."

"..."

By then, a teacher came in and informed Natsumi that she is being summoned by Jin, and Hinata wondered why the headmaster would summon her, and Natsumi just nodded as she wondered if this is her last chance to be noticed by Jin, and she leaves the classroom amid the suspicious looks from her classmates who still holds a grudge against her for having looking down at them. They are sure that she would eventually get turned down and may spend her remaining years as a reserve course student or she would eventually quit.

"There she goes..."

"She will be turned down..."

"Yeah..."

"The blond bitch..."

"She has no talent..."

"Such a stuck-up..."

"She us gonna quit soon..."

"I agree..."

At the main course building, the scene shifts inside Jin's office where Natsumi entered, and she sat on the couch as Jin approaches her while Kizakura looks on, and she braces herself for the moment of truth, and there the headmaster sat beside her as he took a deep breath, looking reluctant to say anything, and she guessed that this is not good news, seeing that her efforts appeared to be in vain, yet she maintain her composure even though deep inside she felt dejected, and there Jin began the conversation.

"Ms. Kuzuryuu..."

"Yes...?"

"After spending several days...I came yo a conclusion...and..."

"..."

"As much as I hate to say this..."

"I get it...I am being turned down. Its okay...I accept it."

"No. You are wrong...you are the first reserve course student to be transferred to the main course.

"Eh...?"

Natsumi stared wide-eyed upon hearing that she is chosen to be transferred to the main course, and Kizakura gave her a thumb's up sign, and she glanced at Jin, who nodded and said that he has considered her recent actions as a talent, and told her that she will start attending classes at the main course building tomorrow, and gave her the assigned talent of SUPER HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER, and she felt a bit insulted at first upon hearing that her talent is somewhat inferior to Koizumi's, yet she is told that it is still a talent, and Natsumi realized that she has to accept it since she is accepted in to the main course.

She stood up and bowed before leaving, and Kizakura smirked and said that Natsumi is the first reserve course student to be transferred to the main course yet he asks why gave her a title that is somewhat below Koizumi's talent, but Jin said that while Natsumi's talent is indeed below Koizumi's, Natsumi would eventually overshadow Koizumi's since her talent is somewhat similar to photography, citing example of a talent from a well-known comic character.

"You mean...?"

"Yes, Kizakura...Peter Parker...or should I say, Spider-Man. The story shows that his photography is more on taking pictures of Spider-Man in action, and that is how I see in Kuzuryuu...and while her talent is indeed below Kuzuryuu's, nevertheless it would help her, and if Kuzuryuu does well and hone her talent, she may get a successful run as a freelance photographer, and that talent of hers suits her well, and is different from Koizumi's."

"Hmm...you do have a point..."

"Well...it is up to Kuzuryuu whether she would accept it, though."

"I'm sure she will. After all...she worked hard for it. But..."

"Yes?"

"Will she be in the same class as her elder brother?"

"That is already take cared of."

Outside the headmaster's office, Natsumi overheard the discussion after leaning her ears on the side of the door, and though she did not like it at first, she opted to accept it seeing that she indeed worked hard that led her to being transferred to the main course, and after hearing what Jin said, she glanced at her camera and realized that Jin maybe right, as she may have a talent in taking pictures in a similar genre like the fictional Peter Parker, and she suddenly recalled what Naegi told her from before, and she is forced to admit that she is grateful to the Luckster for helping her find her hidden talent.

"Makoto Naegi...I guess...I should be grateful to him...even if I did not like it..."

Not far, the teacher who summoned Natsumi is in a state of disbelief at what he just saw, yet he had no choice but to accept it, and told Natsumi to follow him as he escorts her to a room where the school supplies and uniform for the main course are stored, and after getting them, she went back to the reserve course building and took her bag and left, and her classmates, including Hinata and Sato, stared wide-eyed in shock and disbelief when told by the teacher that Natsumi had been sorted to the main course.

To Be Continued... .

Hope you liked this chapter though it focused mostly on Natsumi, yet the plot is important as she is struggling to deal with her AWAKENED feelings towards Naegi, and finally got her wish...

Yup, Natsumi has finally got transferred to the main course, even though her assigned talent is quite below Koizumi's...

Well...though her talent is similar to Koizumi's, it is quite different in some aspects, as Koizumi's talent leans more on artistic pictures, while Natsumi's is somewhat similar, if not akin, to Peter Parker, like a freelance photographer. Since Natsumi and Kozumi were in the same photography club in their last school, I figured that I could create a semi-rivalry, though I think this would be essential to the plot that would unravel in the next chapters...

Preview:

Natsumi will spend her first day as a main course student...and you will get to see which section she would be drafted to...and how Fuyuhiko, Pekoyama and naegi would react to this...

See you in 2 to 3 weeks...

Reviews are welcome...I would appreciated it if you submit your reviews so I can keep this fic going...
