Fragment Chapter: Leeve's Sexiest Man
Something was off, Rean thought. Sure, he may have overslept, and he may have skipped breakfast, but that wasn't out of the ordinary.
Another giggle came from his left, belonging to a female student he didn't recognize. With a blushful bow, she skipped down the hallway to her assigned classroom. Rean wanted to call out to her, but he couldn't place a name on the freshman quite yet.
The school year had only just begun, after all.
New classes, fresh faces, a different spin on last year's lectures. Rean sighed inwardly. The faculty had a lot of work to do, so it brought him some measure of relief when familiar faces showed up at the office. Randy, Towa, Michael, Crow, and even Fie, on paid voluntary bracer service for the school.
...Come to think of it, they were all acting weirdly around him this morning too.
Randy was nodding and giving him a thumbs up.
Towa blinked, but smiled sweetly at him a moment later, unsure of what to say.
Michael was facepalming— nothing really weird there. Though he did seem to drink his coffee a bit more desperately than usual.
Crow looked disgusted and betrayed for a second before he rushed out of the door. A tear was rolling down his cheek.
Fie, on the other hand, had the biggest shit-eating grin on her face as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She then took a selfie with him on her ARCUS. "See? You look fine~," she said reassuringly.
Turning those words around… Yeah, something was definitely off.
Well, whatever it was, it's too late to do anything about it now. Adjusting his collar, Rean stepped inside Class VII's room and mentally prepared himself for another brutal day as their homeroom teacher.
Juna gasped.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Rean asked. In retrospect, Juna was the best person to ask; her bluntness had saved him from a couple of embarrassing situations before.
She pointed a trembling finger at him and stammered. A searing blush burned her face. "I-I-Instructor— Are those— ?!"
Before Juna could say anything else, Musse flew from her seat and covered her friend's mouth. "Did you have a fun night, Instructor~?" she asked in a Musse-standard flirtatious tone.
"Probably not as fun as what you're imagining," Rean half-deflected. He glanced around the room. A quiet, small room with one vacant chair. "I see everyone except Ash is here. We'll start in five minutes."
"Heehee, take all the rest you need~," Musse said, leering as she reined in a thrashing Juna.
A typical morning, Rean would say.
He felt a pair of eyes harrowing him. Altina stared, unblinking, with a hand to her chin. Observing would be more accurate— as if the man in front of her was a curious animal. "Your obscenities truly knows no bounds, Instructor," she muttered.
Why, and what obscenities, Rean could honestly never tell.
Maybe the only student who respected him as a decent human being would know. "Mind telling me what's going on, Kurt?" he asked the quiet Vander.
Kurt also stared incredulously. "...Have you looked into a mirror this morning, Instructor?"
"No… I haven't…" Rean answered.
Juna thrashed louder.
…
"I'll be right back— "
Shooting out into the hallway, Rean made a beeline for the nearest restroom. Or would have, if it weren't for his every step making him flinch when another girl swooned. Then another, and another. He shoved the door open, and horror befell his eyes the moment he saw his reflection in the mirror.
Scandalous red marks wreathed his neck.
No no no no no no no no no…
"Sup, teach— " Ash greeted, book in hand while slouching against the wall of the restroom. His smile grew wider upon seeing Rean's medal of valor. Smiling, but his expression failed to hide his disdain. "Damn, that's bold of you. How many girls did you bang this time?"
"No!"
"Instructor Schwarzer. Instructor Claussell," Headmaster Aurelia's voice boomed out from the intercom. "Come see me in my office. Right. This. Instant."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Reputation -1. Poor Rean, can't get a break.
