Kasai Panic and Bending Spoons
"Kasai Panic?" Kazuya directed.
Kurobara standing right next to Mai, with a cocky, smug face. Eyes are drawn on Yuko to explain.
"Right. There's a senior at our school name Kasai Chiaki. She can bend a spoon with her preternatural power." Yuko revealed.
"I believe it was right after the summer break that she showed it to us for the first time. Since then she's become famous at school because of her power. Bending spoons became a 'cool trend' among some of the students, but while some students believed in her power, others didn't believe at all. Because the news of Kasai-san's power became such a big deal, she was asked to stand on stage in front of everyone during a morning gathering. One of the teachers held up a key and said 'If it's true, then bend this for me right now. Can't do it, huh? You can't do it, can you?' Then she bent it."
"She did!?" Mai urged eagerly.
Kuro's arms crossed, with a pensive expression. "Bending spoons? Interesting." They commented, humming slightly to herself. Bending spoons was something that amateur psychics could do to show off, It was also an indication for ESP like abilities.
She could not help but let out a tiny smirk. Kasai undoubtedly proved their teacher wrong. Kuro could not help but love people proving other people wrong, maybe she was Sadistic. That could explain why she liked being a jerk to people who do her friends wrong.
Kurobara loved Karma.
"That was the end of it." Yuko maintained. "The teacher started attacking her! Kasai-san eventually got fed up and said to the teacher 'I'll curse you to death!' And ever since then all these strange things started happening. Now everyone's saying that maybe this is the curse of Kasai-san. I think that's why lately, Kasai-san hasn't even come to class, and she spends all her time holed up in the biology prep room."
Mai looked alarmed while Kurobara had a raised eyebrow, with a slight smile, finding it somewhat amusing when she shouldn't. Cursing someone to death is a little extreme, then again, people can become toxic fast.
(Timeskip- WOOP)
Naru tapped on the door of the biology prep lab. There was a moment of silence before someone finally answered.
"Yes?"
"Excuse me," Naru said as opened the door and entered the room, with Kurobara besides him, with an apathetic expression on hand. Mai peeking behind her raven-haired friend. "Is Kasai-san here?"
"How can we help you?" A good-looking female teacher-directed with a polite smile as a student with long hair quickly turned away so they couldn't see her face.
"My name is Shibuya, and I'm with Shibuya Psychic Research." Naru introduced himself. "I would like to speak with Kasai-san."
Kuro narrowed her eyes on the teacher having a bad feeling about the teacher. It felt like a cold chill. Mai noticed her behaviour, glancing at her with a concerned expression. Kurobara eyes moved to the side, looking at the guy she may or may not have fallen in love with. Concern and adoriation in her expression for a split second.
"I'm sorry, what did you say your name was again?" The teacher asked.
'Is she deaf? He just said his name...' Thought the raven-haired woman. Eyes cast onto the teacher as she spoke, suspicion and a sinking feeling erupted her being.
"My name is Shibuya Kazuya."
"Ah. I'd heard from the principal that someone was coming to investigate, so you're him." She said. "Please, come in. I'm Ubusuna Kei, the biology teacher."
Kuro's eyebrows perked up at her name; it sounded familiar to her for some reason. Where has she heard that name from? She shook her head softly, giving Oliver a small glance. Naru caught her eyes for a moment.
"Ubusuna? That's an uncommon name." Naru remarked. Ubusuna-sensei beamed. Kurobara could not help but roll her eyes, Mai sniggered perking up her eyebrows and wiggling them slightly, thinking that she was jealous. "Are you okay? You looking a little green there" Mai whispered.
Kurobara gave her a sharp glare, a little fed up. Still trying to deny her feelings for their egotistical boss. Mai flinched slightly.
"You need to speak with Kasai-san? You must be here to talk regarding the incident that happened in September, right?"
"I don't want to talk about it! Leave me alone!" The antisocial student shouted, indicating that she was indeed Kasai Chiaki. Mai perked up at that voice while Kurobara frowned. She understood why they wouldn't want to speak, considering that people didn't believe her and are bullying her for no good reason.
This is why she didn't show off the fact that she was a Psychic/Esper people just think they are illusionist or tricksters or even frauds. It's difficult for them; she knows that are a lot of mediums and psychics had lost their lives because of the pressure from the media.
"You'd better tell them exactly what happened, to avoid any misunderstandings," Ubusuna-sensei advised her calmly.
"No!" Kasai-san refused adamantly. "They won't believe what I say anyway."
"But didn't you hear them? They investigate psychic phenomena. I don't think they would deny what you have to tell them for no reason."
Kurobara decided to open her mouth "I will believe you," She commented, causing them to look at her. She stood there, confidently. Inside her, were burning anxiety forming in her stomach. "Let us decide to believe you or not; we need the full story to really understand the full picture." She calmly spoke up.
Showing a kind smile, having a little sympathy on her expression.
"…" Kasai-san looked a little surprised at her wording. She stayed quiet, sitting there, sulking for a few more minutes before finally turning her head to look at them. "What did you want to talk about?" She asked more calmly.
"Ah," Mai said, a little surprised when she saw Kasai-san's face. She wasn't nearly as scary as she had thought she would be. Kuro glanced at her brunette friend with amusement, mouth tugged upward into an angle establishing a sly smirk.
'What? Did you think she was going to look like the grudge? Black long hair slimy skin in a white ripped dress?'
Mai squeaked, hearing a voice in her head. It was Kuro's voice, she shouldn't be surprised since she had done it before, a while ago but she could not help it. Her voice echoed and buzzed.
'Very Funny Kuro…' Mai thought, playfully glaring at her, while she amusedly smiled, sniggering.
`I know I am, don't have to tell me twice... Idiot'
Mai tensed up at that, still silently glaring at her raven-haired friend.
"They're not just rumours. It's true. But I bet you don't believe it, do you?" Kasai said cynically.
"Why wouldn't I? I'm also able to bend a spoon." Naru revealed, surprising almost everyone in the room, particularly Mai. It wasn't surprising to her, he was the famous Oliver Davis.
'What now?' Mai thought, staring at him in open disbelief. This from the guy who always insisted he wasn't a psychic?
Kurobara was thinking about if she should speak out about the fact that she could also do it. 'Trying to be a show-off Ollie boy' She smirked as she saw Naru's body tense. His mouth twitched upward. ' Telepathy? Interesting another thing you were hiding from me'
'Oh come on admit it, Narcissist, you're Impressed.' Her tone turning slightly flirtatious without her knowing it. Naru almost rolled his eyes. 'The only impressive thing about you is how much you can hide from me.'
'Ouch… Aein thats a little mean…'
"I also can bend a spoon" Admitted Kurobara, winking subtly at Naru. Kazuya mouth twitched into a small smile, finding it cute. Cute? Since when did he find his assistant cute.
Mai watched the small exchange between them, Excited for them. She thought they looked adorable together, not understanding why Kuro would deny her feelings for him.
"… You can?" Kasai-san asked both of them. Shock in her voice.
"I can," Naru stated matter-of-factly. "There aren't any psychic researchers that don't believe in PK." Kasai Chiaki stared at him for a moment before grabbing a spoon from container sitting out on the table.
'Why did he have to be so handsome?'
'You think I'm handsome' Naru flashed a smirk at Kuro. She accidently forgot to turn of telepathy. Blushing at her mistake, trying to act impassively. Facial expression tense at her own embarrassment and mistake.
"Prove it." She said, holding the spoon out, daring him to accept. Naru stared at the spoon. Kasai turned to Kuro as well, asking for her to do it as well. She let out a tired sigh. It sure is a long day for her. Maybe she shouldn't have said anything about being able to bend spoons.
They hate to admit it, but for some reason, she could not help but show off to Kazuya. Before she could stop herself, she blurted it out; then she had given Naru a flirtatious wink. Her body, her feelings, and the way she spoke felt like it was being controlled. While her brain screamed for her body and emotions to stop.
"I guess it can't be helped." He said with a sigh, accepting. Naru concentrated on the spoon in his hand. Then he raised the other, and effortlessly bent the bowl forward and down, away from himself, using only a light touch from the tip of his index finger.
"!?" Mai gasped, stunned that he had actually managed to pull it off. She and the others all watched in awe as the bowl of the spoon broke off at the shoulder and fell to the ground.
It clanged against the floor making an obnoxious sound…
The room was completely silent. Naru handed the stem of the spoon back to Kasai-san so she could examine it for herself. A bead of sweat rolled down Kasai-san's face as she stared at the broken spoon. He really was the real deal…
Kasai turned to Kuro, whom looked amused at her egotistical boss, who seemed so pleased with himself. Which isn't surprising since he was a Narcissist. She felt Kasai's stare on her knowing she was asking her to do the same.
"I think we need another spoon," They commented, eyes drawn on the broken piece on the floor. Snorting softly as her voice came out comically. Finding funny that Naru just broke the spoon, but the way he had turned the spoon, he could have easily broken it without any ESP.
Kuro smoothly walked to a counter and grabbed a spoon, eyes following her as she began to move back where she was. She hates using her Psychic abilities, but since she kind of forced it upon herself, she had to use them.
She was essentially showing off. Something Kuro rarely does since she finds it somewhat rude to rub it into other people's faces. That and having psychic abilities was like a curse to her. It practically ruined her life and her family. She held it with the tips of her fingers.
Though showing off in front of Oliver sounded fun, maybe she could impress him. A smirk formed onto her expression, finding it exciting to be able to impress him. As quickly as her smirk formed, it changed to a sharp frown. Why were they bothered about showing off in front of him?
Why did she feel so… elated and good about it. Kurobara's body tense at her inner thoughts as anger, doubt, and continuing denial formed into the pit of her stomach. Mai looked at her with such concern that she realized that she kept them waiting.
Once again, her body became confidant, as did her smirk that had reformed. Her eyes began to illuminate, only slightly. Her fingers were on the bottom, hands softly glowing a faint hue of blue and gold. The spoon began to bend and twist.
It looked like it was melting, It cracked and snapped, flying to the floor like Naru's, only for it to be more broken and twisted than his.
The silence enveloped the lab, her smirk twisted into a smug, arrogant smile. Head tilted, eyes piercing onto Oliver and Kasai. "Now that's what I call spoon-bending," She commented, widely smirking. Eyes still faintly glowing.
Mai only gaped at her, shock written on her face as though she was a novel. Maybe Kurobara did like to show off a little. Only when Kazuya was here. Which undoubtedly made her concerned about her emotions.
Why did it matter so much more when Oliver was watching?
