Chapter 3: Welcome To Mahora Academy!
"So, this place is Mahora Academy?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was really amazed as he's looking outside the window of the tram he is currently riding, reaching close towards his destination, Mahora Academy.
[Mahora Academy, is an academy located in northern Tokyo of Japan. The school was funded by a European during the Meiji era of Japan (1868 - 1912)]
Tsuna is dressed up in a black suit with an orange shirt beneath, tied with a black necktie, looking very formal. He'd also decided to wear glasses, which he bought during their trip, he thought that he would look more like a teacher with them.
A girl sitting beside him, Dokuro Chrome, wore something similar to him, a female version with a skirt, and instead of the orange shirt, she wore an indigo one beneath.
As Tsuna was more focused on the outside scenario, he was unaware of all the attention he got inside the tram. You should know, he was actually the ONLY male inside the ride, it was actually filled up with female students of Mahora Academy. These students were standing far away from Tsuna and Chrome, given them a lot of space, as nobody had the courage to get close to them, even though it made it crowder and narrower on their own side.
"Why is a hot guy here? Isn't this carriage females only?"
"Did he got the wrong tram? Not that I mind though."
"Who is that girl beside him? I'm so jealous of her!"
"But she looks so beautiful. Her skin looks so flawless."
"Her eyepatch looks so cool on her."
"Why are both of them wearing a suit? It looks so awesome on them!"
"Who cares? I never saw such a handsome guy in my life!"
"I can look at him forever without getting tired..."
"'Boss', we have arrived at our destination," Chrome said with a calm expression, though she did feel a bit uncomfortable with all the stares they've got, especially that most of them were toward her Boss. Didn't Reborn said to keep their profile low? Then this is already a failure, Tsuna himself attracts MANY if not, ALL of the attention of the female gender. But she has to admit... it was her mistake, that she didn't notice that they have boarded a female's only carriage, she totally misread the tickets she bought.
The students around them also noticed that they've finally arrived at their destination, most of them were disappointed to leave and some of them even cursed that they were running out of time and couldn't observe the Mystery Duo any longer.
"So.. this is the place, we will be for a while," Tsuna said as they got off the tram, "I never saw these many students in one place, very different from Namimori, it will take some time to get used to this," he smiled as he's observing the students. Both males and females, around them, running towards their academy as if their life is depending on it.
"Negi! This is all your fault!"
Tsuna's attention turned towards a trio, who were also running and about to pass them. One of the two girls was scolding a younger boy who was notably keeping up with the girl's speed which itself was also very impressive. However, as interesting as the two of them were, the other girl got all of his attention, she was actually using roller skates to keep up with them. Their eyes met for a brief second.
"I'm really sorry, Asuna-san!" The younger boy made an apologetic face towards the older girl.
"Geez, you should really try not to crawl into my bed every time. You will never be an adult if you keep this up, right Konoka? -Konoka?" Asuna was looking at her friend as she didn't respond to her. She noticed that Konoka was unusually silent.
"Konoka!"
"Eh-? W-What did you say, Asuna?" Konoka was a bit caught off guard, she was clearly distracted at this moment.
"What's wrong Konoka? It's not like you, to be absentminded." Asuna asked in a worrisome tone. Konoka would normally defend Negi, then made a joke about them, and eventually, they would have laughed it off.
"..Sorry, guess I'm still a bit tired from our trip from Kyoto." Konoka half lied, as she glanced back towards the boy they had to pass a while ago. Their eyes briefly caught each other and something draws her attention towards him.
"Yeah, I guess you still process your true heritage." Asuna nodded understandably, it would shock her too if she discovered that her family was actually a powerful magic clan and in addition, hiding literally her whole life that she was a magical prodigy.
"Y-Yes, Konoka-san, we will definitely figure something out, especially with Setsuna-san," Negi assured her, that she didn't need to worry.
"Aww, thank you Negi-Kun." Konoka smiled at her enthusiastic teacher. With a small dissatisfaction, Konoka put the event with the boy from early aside, it's not like they will ever talk to each other anyway.
"Boss." Chrome also noticed the girl on the roller skates and immediately recognized her.
"Yes... This is our 'target', Konoe Konoka." Tsuna trailed off. He had no explanation why, but he had a confusing feeling inside his stomach, however as he was on an important mission, he put this feeling aside for now.
Tsuna took out a paper from his pocket as the trio was out of his sight. "We will meet her sooner or later, let see... on this paper Reborn gave us this morning... it says we should wait till someon-."
"Excuse me, are you Sawada Tsunayoshi?" An older man cut him off and approached them. He wore a white suit and glasses while smoking a cigarette. He is obviously a teacher, they could tell.
Tsuna confirmed his identity while making a polite gesture, "yes, I am. And sir, you are...?"
"Then I officially welcome you to Mahora Academy, I'm a fellow teacher, my name is Takahata T. Takamichi. Nice to meet you Sawada-sensei," Takahata greeted the two with a friendly smile.
[Takahata T. Takamichi is a friendly teacher of Mahora Academy. He is noted among the Mahora student body for his ability to put a stop to any fight seemingly without lifting a finger, earning him the nickname 'Death Glasses Takahata']
Tsuna bowed respectfully, "it's also my pleasure, Takahata-san."
"Haha, you're also a teacher like me, so you don't have to be so formal, but you can call me Takahata-sensei if you want, as most of my students calls me like that," Takahata smiled how polite he is, `will he be like a second Negi? He does seem to be a more mature one, but I have the feeling, like Negi he will be having a 'dangerous' life here in Mahora Academy.´
Truthfully, Takahata didn't know anything about this boy at all. The Dean had only told him, that he is a very important guest and that he will be assisting his good friend, Negi. When he first saw the boy from afar he didn't notice something odd about him. However, for some reason, after approaching this boy now, he felt an Aura, which made him a bit intimidating.
"Then it's Takahata-sensei," Tsuna smiled and shifted the attention towards his partner, "this is my assistant, her name is Dokuro Chrome."
"Such a beautiful companion," Takahata admitted, though he was wondering why her presence was very thin, almost as if she wasn't there at all, this duo is very mysterious to him.
Chrome bowed in response, it didn't really affect her as she was used to all these compliments. Though she was a bit cautious of Takahata. She could tell, that this man was actually very strong. She was sure her 'Boss' felt this too as Tsuna immediately was on his guard when Takahata approached them.
"True, can't ask for any better," Tsuna agreed with a knowing smile, relaxing a bit after he was sure that Takahata means no harm to them.
Remember when I said, that Chrome was used for compliments? Well, there are always some exceptions as her cheeks turned a little red.
"So without further delay, I will lead you two to the dean's office, please follow me," Takahata suggested. Tsuna and Chrome nodded as the three of them walking toward the entrance of Mahora Academy.
-Mahora Academy/Dean Office-
"Such an interesting place, it's bigger than I thought," Tsuna honestly admitted as they were walking through the campus. Chrome could only agree with her Boss, it will take a while until she had everything covered.
"Haha, you will surely get used to this, you don't have to worry about getting lost, I will give each of you a map later and if you still are unsure you can always ask for directions, everyone here in Mahora are very nice people," Takahata gave them some advice as they've finally arrived, standing in front of a big door, "so, here we are."
"Why does anyone who is 'important' have such an unnecessary big door?" Tsuna wondered, even his 'Grandpa' has something like that, maybe it's just a trend between 'Big Guys'.
When the three of them entered the room, Tsuna noticed how old fashion the room was designed, most of the furniture is antique. Directly in front of him, behind a desk, was sitting an older man, stroking his long white beard as he is looking towards him with a welcoming smile. He is obviously the dean, and a beautiful mature woman was standing right beside him.
"Hohoho~ So, you are Sawada Tsunayoshi-kun and you, beautiful girl, is Dokuro Chrome-chan, am I right?" The Dean cheerfully concluded.
Tsuna nodded and bowed to him, "yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Konoe Konoemon-sama." Chrome made the same gesture as her Boss.
"Raise your head, you do not need to lower your head before me, 'Decimo' of Vongola," Konoemon chuckled, amused by the boy's behavior.
This information actually shocked both Takahata and the woman beside the dean, `this boy... Is the leader of such a strong Mafia Family? I see.. this explains this powerful aura from him. I guess he was a bit cautious of me. Seems like I earned his trust, during our brief introductions.´
Tsuna sighed, he is really famous one way or another, "still, I do think I should be respectful to you Konoe-sama, especially since Konoe-sama is a very good friend of Vongola 'Nono'."
"I see, what a beautiful manner, you are more than I had ever expected 'Decimo'... Timoteo-kun did not exaggerate when he told me about you," Konoemon cheerfully said, you could tell that he was very delighted.
Tsuna smiled, he expected that they would be surprised that a 16-year-old teenager, would be the 'Decimo' of such a powerful 'Famiglia'. Though he did accept the title, he didn't plan to enter the Mafia-Business, he wanted to change the Vongola into its original state, the way 'Primo' had originally formed the Vongola. But this isn't important for now and he turned his attention back to the dean, "Konoe-sama, you are the one who'd requested this mission, am I right? Protecting your granddaughter, Konoe Konoka."
Konoemon nodded, "after the recent incident in Kyoto, I truly believe it would be better if we have some strong support on our sleeves... I heard you had no hesitation when you received this mission."
Tsuna shook his head, his eyes flared up with undying passion, "to be honest, Konoe-sama, even if this wasn't a mission, I would still want to protect your granddaughter. I don't want your granddaughter nor anyone else to suffer, just because this person has a special gift. I will never let this happen, not as long as I'm alive!"
Konoemon's smile couldn't get any wider as it already was, this convinced him even stronger, that he had made the right decision, "we have truly the right person here, Tsunayoshi-kun, you do know what your task here is, right?"
Tsuna nodded, "protecting your granddaughter while teaching Class 3-A the subject of history."
"Hohoho, honestly I am truly looking forward to your result, Tsunayoshi-kun," Konoemon chuckled again, "you have grown into such a handsome man. This place may be a bit difficult for you to handle."
"What... does this mean, Konoe-sama?" Tsuna wondered while Chrome had a very strange feeling about this.
"I see, never mind then, just ENJOY the time being here, Tsunayoshi-kun," Konoemon said, holding back his smirk.
"Thank you, I certainly will," Tsuna smiled, "so about my class..."
"Of course, here is your personal class-roll, there is some information of all your student's, so be sure to look through to it," Konoemon gave him a notebook, Tsuna briefly ran through the pages, of course seeing Konoka in his class-roster, 31 student's in total, "today, we will not ask you to teach right away, instead you should learn a bit more of this place, and if you have any question, Takamichi-kun and Shizuna-chan, here will gladly lend you a hand."
"You can always come to me, I'll be glad to help, though from tomorrow on I will be away for a while, due to some work in foreign countries, but you can always call me." Takahata winked, truly impressed by Tsuna's speech from early.
Tsuna could feel that Takahata-sensei would be a great help, so he made a small note to make sure to contact him if he needed some pieces of advice.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Minamoto Shizuna, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, Sawada-san, Dokuro-san," Shizuna made a gentle smile.
[Minamoto Shizuna is Mahora's guidance counselor and nurse. For many students she is like a motherly figure to them]
Shizuna gave Tsuna the same feeling like his mother, he would gladly accept her help anytime.
"Well, how about we introduce you two to your class?" Takahata suggested, "Shizuna, normally you would be the one to do that, but do you mind if I take this one over?"
"Sure, go ahead," Shizuna smiled.
"Oh, a good idea, Takamichi-kun, would you please lead Tsunayoshi-kun and Chrome-chan to their classroom?" The Dean liked the idea, he actually couldn't wait for the reaction of Class 3-A, especially his granddaughter.
"But classes already started, right? We shouldn't interfere with their lesson," Tsuna wasn't sure about this, "and we haven't heard about our living situation yet."
"It's fine, we'll keep it short, just to make the class get to know the two of you, so at least that you have seen each other and can prepare for tomorrow," Takahata assured him.
"And about your living circumstances, we can talk about this later, after you have toured around Mahora Academy today," Konoemon added.
"Hm, I see... I guess this makes sense," Tsuna now seeing no harm, agreed to visit the class, " then, we will be leaving, for now, Konoe-sama, Minamoto-sensei."
As the three of them left the room, Shizuna turned to the dean, "oh my, this young man is really interesting, I think that class 3-A will be even more lively with him now. I wonder how Negi-kun and Sawada-san will be working together from now on."
The Dean chuckled, `Timoteo, my old friend, I never would have thought that he would be this great, looking at him, he is definitely the right choice. Isn't he also the perfect marriage candidate for my beautiful granddaughter?" He smiled at this thought, but this smile quickly faded away, `if... if only this accident...´
-Mahora Academy/Classroom 3-A-
"So here we are," Takahata said, standing in front of the class, of which Tsuna will be a teacher for a while. "Are you nervous, meeting your students for the first time?" He asked while knocking on the door.
"Not at all," Tsuna thought about it, "believe it or not, I experience much worse than that... It's more like I got used to a situation like this."
Takahata laughed, "I believe you, after all, something like this wouldn't scare, the 'Decimo'."
Tsuna chuckled along, but became a bit serious afterward, "I guess, but I would prefer if you don't call me that anymore, in fact, just Tsuna is fine."
"Yes?" Someone opened the door of the classroom and to Tsuna's surprise, the one who had opened the door was the same child he saw not so long ago. He was about 10, he assumed.
"Ah! Takamichi! Hello," the boy smiled towards Takahata.
"Hey, Negi-kun," Takahata grinned at the small boy, you could tell that they are very close to each other, "this is my friend Negi Springfield, he is from Wales and he is also the homeroom teacher of class 3-A."
"Really? He is the homeroom teacher? That's amazing! How old are you, Negi-k- Oh no, I mean, Springfield-sensei," Tsuna was a bit excited, he was really surprised to meet such a young teacher.
"Ah! N-no, I-I'm not a-amazing and I'm 10 years old. Y-you don't have to call me like that, N-Negi is just fine!" Negi waving his hands wildly, clearly embarrassed of this compliment.
"Just to be sure, you are not an Arcobaleno or some kind of curse, right?" Tsuna chuckled and made a small insider joke. However, he could feel that Negi is a mage. When he first met Takahata if he concentrates enough he can see this different color of aura in contrast to 'normal' people or 'Dying Flame' users. Though, why he could 'see' this difference, is a mystery to him, maybe it is connected with his Hyper Intuition, but this is actually very useful in this setting.
"A-Arcobaleno?" Negi looks confused about this term, "a rainbow?"
"Oh, you know that Italian term? You are really a genius. Nice to meet you, Negi-sensei," Tsuna became more and more fascinated with this boy.
"N-nice to meet you, too! U-Uhm," Negi quickly replied and realized, that he didn't know the person's name in front of him, "m-may I ask, w-who you are?"
"Yes, my apologies, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, but Tsuna is alright, and this is my partner Dokuro Chrome, we-." Tsuna was about to explain, but Takahata stopped him.
"We should take this introduction to the whole class, look they are all already confuse and curious," Takahata pointed to the girls inside the classroom as some of them tried to peek at what is happening outside there.
"Alright, girls, please take back your sit, you too, Negi-kun come inside, I want to announce something," Takahata walks inside the classroom, Negi followed right after.
"Takahata-sensei is something wrong?" One of the girls asked.
"No, everything is alright, I just want to introduce two new teachers for this class," Takahata replied with a smile.
"..."
"EHHHHH~~~~~?!" Almost all of the girls from the class shouted out, jumping up from their sit, while a few of them were calmly listen carefully with their interest turned on.
"Please, Sawada-sensei, Dokuro-sensei," Takahata called the two of them to come inside.
Tsuna nodded, walking up to Takahata's side, with a smiling expression on his face, Chrome quickly followed up, her face, however, didn't show any emotion at all.
"Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for interrupting your lesson with Negi-sensei, but Takahata-sensei suggested, that we should introduce ourselves to the class. My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, I was chosen by a [Teacher-Study-Programm] to become your temporary teacher, to gain new experience for my own future. From tomorrow on, I will be your new History teacher. I hope to learn a lot from us working together, it's nice to meet you," Tsuna made sure he was loud enough that everyone could hear him clearly, during the past three years, he had learned how to speak in front of an audience, or more like Reborn forced him to do so.
"My name is Dokuro Chrome, I will be assisting 'Boss' during his time as your teacher," Chrome politely said, not showing more emotion than necessary.
"..."
"..."
The silence this time was even longer than the one Takahata-sensei had told them about the news of having new teachers until one girl finally decides to break the silence.
"WHAT!? W-Wait a minute!" The girl's expression was furious, Tsuna recognized her from his class-roll, it was number 8 Kagurazaka Asuna, she was also the girl who was with Konoka and Negi, early this morning, "a-aren't you two a bit too young to teach a whole class?"
"As I said before, I was chosen to become a temporary teacher for this class, it will be only last for this term. I do understand that you are all surprised, especially, because our age gap isn't that great, however, I do believe that age doesn't matter if someone is classified to teach. As I can see that you have an amazing teacher far younger than me as your homeroom teacher," Tsuna chuckled, turning his attention to Negi, who blushes in response, once again very embarrassed, Tsuna was showering him with compliments, `well if you ignore the Acrobaleno's, but they are a special case after all.'
"Oh, yes, right, for a moment I forgot that we have a 10-year-old child as our homeroom teacher," Asuna sighed and his explanation made much more sense than the time Negi introduced himself to the class, though she still felt something was off, "but why our class again? We just got used to Negi as our homeroom teacher. Isn't it too early to put two new teachers in this class right away?"
"That is something the Dean decided, probably because of your excellent achievement during the past months or maybe he wanted to couple him up with Konoka-kun," Takahata said, adding a joke in the end.
"..., that would actually make sense," Asuna sweatdropped, if it was the Dean, this could be really the only reason, why he put him in this class, "guess I have to accept this.. for now."
"Any more questions? But I will only answer a few more, I don't want to get in the way, of Negi-sensei's lesson," Tsuna took over again.
"M-me! How old are you two?" Another girl raised her hand.
"I'm 16 and she is 15," Tsuna answered simply.
"Where are you coming from?" After the first question was answered, slowly the girls in the classroom had more courage to speak to him.
"From a city called Namimiori."
Suddenly the girls became more active, spamming a lot of questions until you couldn't understand any of them, as they are shouting all over the place. Tsuna sweatdropped of this situation, this class is really something, then he noticed that Negi was trying to calm them down.
"E-Everyone! P-Please, o-one after another, S-Sawada-sensei can't answer your question if you-," Negi tried to calm them down, but most of them didn't listen to him and the class became very chaotic.
Tsuna smiled at Negi's enthusiasm, he is honestly working very hard, he could tell that he really likes this class. Wanting to help him out a bit, Tsuna expression suddenly changed into a more serious one as he turned towards the class, taking a deep breath and his eyes narrowed a bit, "everyone...," in this instant, his raising voice made everyone in the room freeze. A big shiver ran through their spine as Tsuna aura dominates them. Even Chrome felt this pressure, this is something even she could never get used to. This is something only a few can do or control, many people in the mafia world named this 'Conqueror Mode'.
After Tsuna got all their attention, his serious expression didn't disappear but a smile was formed, "I thank you for all of your interest, but I can't have you for not listening to your homeroom teacher, as your punishment all of your questions will be postponed to tomorrow. So I will leave the rest to you now, Negi-Sensei."
As Tsuna had finished his speech, he let go of all the tension, making everyone finally relax their muscles. Most of them were confused, while some of them, can confirm now that he wasn't a normal teacher and they're carefully observing him further as his aura overwhelmed them with this pressure alone.
"S-Sawada-sensei! T-thank you for helping me out," Negi said after him, not really sure what just had happened.
Tsuna turned to him with a surprising look, he didn't expect to be thanked, "Tsuna is fine, I'm really looking forward to working with you, Negi-sensei," he said with a gentle smile.
"Y-Yes, Tsuna-sensei!" Negi did not know why, but something about this person in front of him, it's just amazing.
"Takahata-sensei, I think this is enough for today, we should let Negi-sensei continue his lessons," Tsuna turned to Takahata.
"R-right, Negi-kun, I will take Tsuna-kun and Chrome-kun out, see you later," Takahata said his goodbye to Negi and the class as he'd also recovered from Tsuna's 'Conqueror Mode', `so, this is also a glimpse of 'Decimo's' power.. he is truly incredible.´
"See you tomorrow," Tsuna said goodbye to the class, as he, Chrome, and Takahata left the classroom.
As they were far away from the class, Chrome began to speak, "'Boss'..."
Tsuna nodded, knowing what she wanted to say, "Takahata-sensei, you and the Dean didn't tell us EVERYTHING about this class, right?"
Takahata responded with a simple smile, as expected... they had noticed the special case of Class 3-A, "... you purposely demonstrated your power, you knew there were some special individuals in this class. So, you intentionally made them wary about you."
"I don't know what you mean," Tsuna responded with a simple smile of his own.
-POV of Class 3-A-
After Tsuna, Chrome and Takahata left the classroom, the room was unusually quiet.
...
"Uhm, everyone? Is everything alright?" Negi didn't know what to do, this awkward silence never happened before in this class.
"But Tsuna-sensei is amazing," Negi was still in awe, how Tsuna handled the situation, even though this was the first time he met this class, "I really want to know the both of them better." He doesn't know why but he has a really good feeling about Tsuna and Chrome.
Negi wasn't the only one who thought about them. each of his students also has their own first impression of the new teachers, most of them ignored the fact that something weird had happened.
"...this wasn't a dream, right? This just really happen, am I right?" Asakura Kazumi pulling her own cheek, making sure she wasn't dreaming, "it's really not a dream, this is BIG news!.. so what secret are you two hiding? Whatever it is, I will discover this!"
[Asakura Kazumi is the resident class reporter. She likes to get the inside scoop on everything that goes on, especially of her classmates, you could say she is the paparazzi of 3-A class]
"He was so hot! If this was really a dream, I don't want to wake up!" Kakizaki Misa felt she was in heaven, "I wonder if he's a model... He's so dreamy~"
[Kakizaki Misa is the leader of the Class's-Cheerleaders-Trio and a member of the chorus club. She loves shopping and also has a fondness for karaoke. Misa also has some "adult" tendencies, far more than any of the other girls in the class]
"Misa, remember, you have a boyfriend," Kugimiya Madoka sighed as she saw her friend drooling, "I just hope he isn't a playboy.. but why do I have the feeling that he is one?"
[Kugimiya Madoka is also a member of the Class's-Cheerleader-Trio. She is the most serious one of the three cheerleaders. She makes sure that the other cheerleaders do not get into any trouble, especially Misa, who is ALWAYS making trouble. She's very protective of her friends]
"I think Negi-Sensei is still much cuter.~" Shiina Sakurako, the last one of the Class's-Cheerleaders-Trio, compared who she likes better, "but it's just hard to beat Negi-Sensei cuteness after all."
[Shiina Sakurako is the most cheerful one of the three cheerleaders. She actually gambles a lot, however, surprisingly she wins most of her bets, she's blessed with luck. She also has the habit to fantasize a lot to the point where it's getting nonsensical]
"He looks like the main character from an anime," Izumi Ako, a shy athletic girl, who works as a school nurse's assistant, was very shocked to have a teacher like him, "and he will never notice a boring 'side character' like me and he also has such a beautiful girl by his side."
[Izumi Ako is also the manager of the boy's middle school soccer club and in charge of 3-A's sanitation department. One interesting point is that she has a fear of seeing blood, which makes her position as a nurse's assistant very odd]
"They both look so cool," two smaller girls said at the same time, these girls were twins, Narutaki Fuuka the older, and Narutaki Fumika the younger one. "I wonder what for a prank we can play on them," Fuuka smiled mischievously. "Onee-chan, we shouldn't trouble Sawada-Sensei and Dokuro-Sensei," Fumika looks worried, she just knows this smile.
[Narutaki Fuuka and Narutaki Fumika are the only girls in the class that has not yet gone through puberty as they are the shortest of the class, not even taller than Negi, even with the four-year advantage. Fuuka is in all a prankster, she loves having a great time playing around and pulling pranks. Fumika, on the other hand, is almost the complete opposite of her sister and while she goes along with Fuuka's pranks, she constantly tries to tell her sister that they are bad ideas]
"What is happening here? Why do we get another weird teacher? What kind of joke is that?" Hasegawa Chisame couldn't understand the world anymore, first, they got a 10-year-old child as a homeroom teacher and now they are getting another two, "why can't anything be 'normal' around me?"
[Hasegawa Chisame is highly unsocial, intentionally secluding herself from the interaction. She cynically views her classmates as idiots and freaks. However, Chisame secretly lives a double life as the famous web idol 'Chiu', where she can be popular without putting up with the local idiots, she always called]
"Could it be... did they have noticed me?" Aisaka Sayo was surprised, the reason is a simple fact that she's actually a hapless and meek GHOST, yes a GHOST, "no, it can't be, it was just my imagination, but for some reason, Sawada-Sensei seems so familiar, but why am I thinking of someone blonde instead?"
[As a ghost should be, Aisaka Sayo is invisible to virtually everyone, and her presence goes unnoticed. She's more often frightened than frightening, she has low self-esteem and is not skilled at being a ghost, tripping despite the fact that she doesn't have feet and being completely unable to (intentionally) scare people. Sayo has been friendless and lonely for around 60 years since her death, which made her very desperate for a friend]
"Sawada Tsunayoshi..." Konoe Konoka whispered to herself, holding her hands close to her heart. She couldn't believe her eyes and ears when he entered the classroom when they announce that he will be a teacher for this class. The same boy she just met earlier today and the same boy she couldn't get out of her head since she entered this classroom today. She didn't really know what to think about this situation, only that she will hit her grandfather later on. However, she was truly relieved. She had thought that she would never see that boy again, but she was really glad that she was very wrong.
"I have the feeling these two will be troublesome as Negi," Kagurazaka Asuna was very suspicious of these two, though their reason why they become their teacher sounds more logical than that of Negi (well if you didn't know his secret), however, something was still fishy to her, "I wonder if they are 'special' like Negi? Nah, it can't be, the Dean would've told us, would he...?
Sakurazaki Setsuna was surprised, her heart was beating fast and she didn't know why she felt like this. For some reason she felt strange, something inside her was tearing her apart, "I don't know why I am acting like this, but one for sure, you two are not normal teachers."
"This was really intense," Nagase Kaede made a smile, "this year is truly interesting-de gozaru,"
[Nagase Kaede is the gentle and calm yet strong and tall girl. She has an easy-going attitude and is almost always seen with her eyes almost closed. She frequently ends her sentences with "-de gozaru", an archaic verb form historically used by samurai. She also has a tendency to address people, with the honorific "-dono". In her free time, she trains in the mountains, displaying a wide range of ninja-like abilities. Many of her abilities are self-taught, despite being born from a ninja clan as her parents do not carry on the family ninja traditions]
"Phew, my body felt so stiff, aru.~" Ku Fei grinned, stretching herself after she couldn't move for a while, "I can tell that they are pretty strong I want to have a fight with them, aru.~"
[Ku Fei is the silly, fun-loving Chinese warrior girl of the class. Ku's native language is Chinese, and her knowledge of Japanese is comparatively poor. Ku is known as one of the most powerful fighters in the school. She often ending her sentence with '-aru']
"Something about them 'attracts' me," Tatsumiya Mana observed the whole situation, "and I will find out why,"
[Tatsumiya Mana is not what one describes as sociable since she keeps to herself most of the time and does not engage in conversation. She's also is the tallest girl of Class 3-A, even a bit taller than Tsuna. She is also a mercenary, and mostly takes on contracts that pertain to hunting/destroying/exorcising demons and ghosts but will take on any job as long as she is paid well. When on the job, she is extremely serious and straightforward, which at times can make her seem cold-hearted and quite frightening. She is the daughter of the Tatsumiya Shrine on the Mahora academy grounds, often helps her family business out]
"This was amazing, as expected.~" Chao Lingshen couldn't hold off a smile on her face, "fufu~ My hero, is finally here~ I wonder if 'HE' is also delighted as me if I bring this news to him.~"
[Chao Lingshen at first glance, appears to be a slightly daffy, food-obsessed Chinese girl, however, she's known as the smartest girl of all the students of Class 3-A, no, possible even the smartest in the entire Mahora Campus. As a genius, she chooses to spend her time within several different Mahora clubs, participating actively in robotics research, Chinese medicine, life sciences, and atomic research, all in the name of helping and improving. Chao is also a master of various Chinese martial arts, alongside Ku Fei, and displays a sufficient knowledge of her own abilities. She's also the founder of the famous food, 'Chao Bao Zi' stand specializing in Chinese delicacies in Mahora Academy, particularly known for the 'Nikuman' dumplings]
"Sawada-sensei..." Sasaki Makie repeated this name over and over again, "I can't get him out of my head anymore! What to do?!"
[Sasaki Makie is an energetic and rather childish rhythmic gymnast and one of the more prominent of the Sports Girls in the class. Makie's weakness is solely her own airheadedness. Her training has given her superior reflexes and reaction time, but as amazing as her physical abilities are, Makie's mental abilities are lacking a bit]
"From Namimori... Isn't he..?" Akashi Yuna had the feeling she saw his face somewhere before, from a sports magazine, "hm? Seems like Makie took an interest in him, hehe this could be very interesting,"
[Akashi Yuna is an athletic girl who plays basketball, she's also the most mischievous one amongst the 4 sports girls. Yuna is very easygoing, which allows her to maintain a cool attitude]
"It's strange that we got two new teachers," Okoshi Akira wondered why their class got another new teacher, even two of them, "but they seem to be nice people, so I guess it's okay."
[Okoshi Akira is a tall, athletic, and very quiet girl in the swimming club. She is so good at swimming that the Mahora High School swimming club is already looking to recruit her. Akira is often seen together with Makie, Ako, and Yuna, they're known as the 4 'Sports girls' of Class 3-A. Akira is one of the most mature students in the class]
"...I'm glad, they didn't replace Negi-sensei as our homeroom teacher," Miyazaki Nodoka sighed in a relief tone, "though.. I have the feeling, I can become good friends with Dokuro-Sensei."
[Miyazaki Nodoka is the shy bookworm of the class. As a member of the Library Exploration Group, she spends plenty of time in the library and helps in the book store. She falls for Negi at first sight and tries to win his heart or more likely her friends try this for her as she is normally too shy/embarrass/afraid/unconfident for that. However after the events in Kyoto, she wanted to become closer to Negi, she even confessed her feelings to him. Due to his age, Negi answered that it was still too early for him to have a romance, so he wanted to stay friends until he matures enough and can answer her confession with honestly. Nodoka accepted this and they were closer than before]
"Interesting, truly interesting," Saotome Haruna smiled, "hehe, Negi-Sensei and Sawada-Sensei, this year will be very entertaining, I can feel a lvl up of Class 3-A 'pervertedness' section."
[If there is a rumor going around in the class, Saotome Haruna is usually the root of it all. It is said that her rumor-spreading abilities are so well developed that she can spread them to the other end of the school in two hours. She's aware of Nodoka feeling towards Negi and as a member of the Library Exploration Club, she seems to have made it her mission to get Nodoka together with Negi, whether Nodoka wants her help or not]
"I wonder why I couldn't move," Ayase Yue was not really interested in the two new teachers, "I hope something interesting will happens soon. But I do feel since Negi-sensei became our teacher, something big will happen... especially after the events in Kyoto, I need to speak with Nodoka later."
[Ayase Yue is considered the cool slacker of the class, a highly intelligent girl yet, at the same time, a horrible student. She's a member of the Libary Club, it is through the club that Yue becomes friends with the club members, usually finding herself helping her shier friend Nodoka gain the confidence to do what she wants while at the same time ignoring or putting up with the manipulations of the bespectacled Haruna. Although Yue doesn't like studying or schoolwork, she is capable of performing well academically, either when she needs to or in a subject she finds herself interested in]
"Who is this boy?" Evangeline A.K. McDowell narrowed her eyes, "something about him... is strange. His face, something about his face makes my body shiver. And I don't know if this is a good sign or not... I never felt like this for years."
[Evangeline A.K. McDowell, or short Eva, rarely says much in class, and anything she says tends to lean towards being evil. She's actually a physically ageless centuries-old vampire cursed 15 years ago by Negi's father to remain at the ground of Mahora Academy, although her body stopped aging at age of 10, she is actually over 600 years old]
"Why did I feel the emotion... of fear?" Karakuri Chachamaru was confused, "I'm a gynoid, I shouldn't have emotions, this is illogical."
[Karakuri Chachamaru is actually a robot with a mechanical and magical power source, somehow most of the class seemed to be obvious of her being a robot. She's Evangeline's partner and performs maid duties at the cottage they share on the Mahora campus. Chachamaru's body is powered by an internal spring combined with magic. She spends most of her free time helping people and rescuing stray animals, including regularly taking care of stray cats, and is very popular with young children, who seem to know that she is a robot. She is also in the Go and Tea Ceremony clubs, but only because Evangeline is in those clubs as well]
"Such an interesting guy, Sawada-Sensei, huh?" Naba Chizuru smiled to herself, "I wonder why I see the sky in him? A sky that embraces us all with its gentle wideness."
[At first glance, Naba Chizuru comes off as a kind but quite naive big girl, and that is not entirely wrong although her behavior sometimes suggests otherwise. One thing to say is that she's surprisingly fearless. She works at the Mahora Day Care center plus hopes to be a day-care worker in the future and the result is a very "motherly" person]
"She looks so beautiful," Murakami Natsumi was very flashed by Chrome's appearance, "she looks so amazing, unlike me the plain girl..."
[Murakami Natsumi is a sweet yet shy girl who is an actress in the theatrical club. She loves acting but dislikes her ad-libs as well as her own appearance (underdeveloped figure, unmanageable hair, etc.) because her body is not very 'mature'-looking, she isn't confident in herself]
"He better not think, that he is better than our cute Negi-Sensei!" Yukihiro Ayaka said with a stern voice, "but, Acrobaleno..., I think I heard this term before.. but where? I can't remember."
[Yukihiro Ayaka is the class president/representative (or Iincho) of class 3-A. A rich girl born into a life of luxury, she immediately becomes obsessed with her young teacher Negi Springfield from the moment of his arrival, a fact which leads to scornful accusations about her being obsessed with little boys, which is actually due to an early tragedy in her life. She and Asuna seem to hate each other, with the two often getting into fights, but it eventually becomes clear that they merely have an odd, but a surprisingly close friendship that neither one is willing to admit]
"..."
Ayaka noticed, that her classmate Zazie Rainyday had said something, "Oh? Zazie-san, you think the new teachers are interesting?"
[Zazie Rainyday, one of the most mysterious girls of the class, not much is known about Zazie except a few simple facts. She communicates with others very little and speaks even less. However, she is somehow able to hold a normal conversation with Ayaka without saying a word]
Zazie only made a small smile, making Ayaka's eyes widen, "don't tell me you..?"
`How can she understand Zazie-san..?´ Everyone in the class sweatdropped.
"What should I do for today..?" Kasuga Misora asked herself, seems not caring about this situation, but she did glance towards the door once, "a new teacher, I wonder if he's also a..."
[Kasuga Misora is a hyperactive tomboy in the track and field club. She always wears a crucifix and is sometimes seen wearing a nun's habit, as she spends her time performing chores at the local church. She is actually very lazy and would prefer lounging around, which causes her to get scolded frequently by Sister Shakti(Misora guidance at the church on Mahora's campus), who gives her a "tough love" approach]
"Hmmm, how can I upgrade Chachamaru this time...?" Hakasa Satomi, a computer specialist girl, mumbled to herself, her head completely somewhere else, "oh well, I should ask Chao-san later and make a few more tests on Ku Fei."
[Hakase Satomi, is the robotics expert. She is best friends with Chao and created Chachamaru with her help for Evangeline. She is also a member of the Robotics and Jet Propulsion Society of Mahora University and always asks the organization to provide her room for her experiments. Her great intelligence, obsession with her work, and somewhat lacking common sense lead her classmates to refer to both her and Chao as mad scientists. Although Satomi is usually a quiet, courteous girl, she sometimes has a small arrogant attitude, especially when it comes to her works]
"Sawada-sensei and Dokuro-sensei, I hope we will get along well," the last girl of Class 3-A, Yotsuba Satsuki, said with a gentle smile and she's actually the only person in the room who wasn't affected by Tsuna's 'Conqueror Mode', "I should prepare something for Sawada-Sensei and Dokuro-Sensei, tomorrow I will ask them what they like to eat."
[Yotsuba Satsuki is the gentle cook of the class. She enjoys cooking and so is in the cooking club as she likes making people happy through her food. A very nice and hard-working person, Satsuki is liked by everyone in Mahora. Her very presence creates an atmosphere of serenity, and she can quickly put a stop to fights even between hot-headed students in the High School and University martial arts clubs]
...
Everyone in this room had their own opinion, but one thing they can all agree with, like with Negi-sensei, this encounter won't be normal for any of them.
-Nightfall/Dean's Office-
"So, how is your opinion about Mahora Academy, Tsunayoshi-kun?" The Dean asked, hoping that the 'Decimo' had a good impression of this place.
Tsuna never would've thought that Mahora Academy is actually this large. Of course, he knew that Mahora Academy is an independent school in Tokyo, but the academy itself is very large. Truthfully it can be considered as its own city district. Takahata-sensei explained to them, that around 30,000 students currently earn their education at Mahora right now, ranging from grade school to university, just a few to demonstrate:
-Mahora Junior High School/Both female and male
-Mahora University
-Saint Ursula Girls'High School
-Mahora Academy Student Dormitory (is a dormitory catering to the first and second-year students of the Mahora Academy,
The majority of class 3-A live at this dormitory while attending the academy.)
But there aren't only schools relating's here, there are also places well-known and famous in Mahora Academy, Takahata also showed them a few:
-World Tree
-World Tree Plaza
-Lake Mahora
-Library Island
-Cherry Blossom Street
-Mahora City Bridge
It actually took the whole day for Tsuna to visit all of these places and he still had the feeling that there is still more to discover. One thing he noticed, Mahora Academy is very similar to a European city, but probably because of a European build and funded the academy.
"It's very beautiful, though it will take a while before we get used to this large Academy," Tsuna finally answered the dean with an honest smile, making the dean return the smile, he actually was very nervous... he did want the 'Decimo' feel like home, "so Tsunayoshi-kun, how was the meeting with your students?"
"Tsuna-kun was very impressive," Takahata answered this question instead. While spending the whole day with those two, they have become much closer and respect each other more.
"I was? I don't recall that I have done something impressive," Tsuna was not sure what Takahata meant.
"No, you've already done something unbelievable, to make those girls listen to you on your first meeting with them, you should know, these girls are a bit... hard to handle, but seeing how you handle it today, it should be alright with you Tsuna-kun."
Tsuna felt a bit awkward about this compliment, the girls are indeed unique, but he doesn't think that they will be 'hard to handle', then again, maybe he is used to these 'unique' personalities around him.
"But I am very happy, having you here, Tsunayoshi-kun," Konoemon said enthusiastic, "I think I can LEAVE my granddaughter to you, hohoho~"
"Yes, I promise, Konoe-san will not be harmed under my watch," Tsuna confidently said, making the three employers of Mahora in the room stunned and amazed as Tsuna didn't get the secret meaning of the dean, though they couldn't help but smile.
"Oh yes, and about your living circumstances, we already have prepared everything for you two, Shizuna-chan will show you the place," the Dean said with a small disappointment in his voice, "I wish I could have also placed you into my granddaughter room, but I guess this is impossible, unlike Negi, who is still an innocent child, the rules would not accept this one."
"Huh? Konoe-sama, I'm afraid I couldn't understand the last part," Tsuna didn't hear the Dean clearly.
"Don't worry about him," Shizuna innocently smiled as the Dean held his head in pain after she had hit him, "well, shall we go to your new home?"
Tsuna nodded and turned to Takahata with an apologetic look on his face, "Takahata-sensei, we are really grateful for your guidance, we took so much of your time."
Takahata laughed, in just one day he learned a lot of Tsuna's personality, "you don't have to worry, I enjoyed your company, I hope you will like it here."
Tsuna smiled, Takahata-sensei is a really gentle person, during their tour, you could tell he was very popular with the students whether male or female, you can always count on him. "Konoe-sama, we will be off."
Konoemon, now recovered from the pain Shizuna gave him, wanted to tell him something one more time, "Tsunayoshi-kun, Chrome-chan... Takamichi-kun said this already to you, but let me say it once more: "'Welcome to Mahora Academy!'"
Tsuna and Chrome smiled and bowed to him.
-Tsuna And Chrome New Resident-
"Minamoto-sensei, where are we heading to?" Tsuna asked they had actually walk for quite a while, without knowing where she was leading them.
"You notice?" Shizuna smiled, "and didn't I tell you that it's alright to call me, Shizuna?"
"Then, Shizuna-sensei, where are we actually going? The dorm for the teachers are on the other side, and we are not going towards the girls nor the boys' dorms, and isn't this place a bit isolated?" Tsuna corrected his question.
Shizuna chuckled, it seems like Tsuna already has the Mahora map inside his head, but they'd got the perfect timing as they'd arrived at their destination, "here we are, welcome to your new home. Tsuna-sensei, Chrome-sensei."
"...Eh?" Tsuna and Chrome were a bit speechless, in front of them is a very big house, no, more like a beautiful villa, almost twice as big as his own house in Namimori. This villa is actually very well hidden, if you don't know where it lies, it would be hard to find. Tsuna recognized this place, it's near 'Lake Mahora' and the 'Libary Island' they visited today from their tour. The view around the villa is actually very beautiful. "Wait, we are living here? But isn't that too much?"
"We can't let the 'Decimo' live in a small room and the Dean made a lot of effort, he would be sad, if you don't like his work."
"No I didn't mean it like that, IT's amazing, but we are just guests here, something like this, is... I'm not sure if we deserve something like that, and I especially don't want to use my 'title' as the 'Decimo' as an excuse," Tsuna sighed, "I hope you don't mind, Chrome-chan."
Chrome responded with a shaking head, she would follow her 'Boss' anywhere.
Shizuna smiled, Tsuna is a very humble person, "you don't have to worry, you could decline, however, I don't think the Dean will give you something lesser than this villa."
Tsuna thought about this and sighed, she's probably right, "I guess we should take this then. Can you give our thanks to Konoe-sama, Shizuna-san?"
"Perfect. This is your home now, so you can arrange it however you want. And here, use this device if you need something," Shizuna said, handing over a tablet to Tsuna, "your bank account is connected to this tablet so you can order anything you want, whether food, furniture, clothes, or anything else you need. It will be delivered right in front of your door. You can also request a temporary worker if you need help, and don't worry, the people behind this service are aware of EVERYTHING, they will be happy to help."
"That's.. really amazing, but I really don't like the fact, that we are getting special treatment," Tsuna sighed again, as convenient as these things are, he felt really guilty, especially that he had done nothing to repay yet.
Shizuna chuckled, there are only a few people who would complain over such a service and she couldn't help but be amazed by this young man once again.
"... The Dean predicted that you would feel uncomfortable and I should tell you this: 'As you said, I am a very good friend of 'Vongola Nono'. And YOU are the grandson of my VERY GOOD friend Timoteo, so please accept this small gesture of mine, Tsunayoshi-kun. Hohoho.'" Shizuna aligns this message to Tsuna while imitating the Dean, stroking an invisible beard.
Tsuna couldn't refuse anymore, especially because of all the effort the Dean made, he looks over to Shizuna with a defeated smile, "I understand. Thank you, Shizuna-san."
"You're welcome, so... I should leave you two alone. You should explore your new home. I wish you two a good night, tomorrow will be a big day," Shizuna lastly bid goodbye to them with a big smile.
After Shizuna had left, Tsuna and Chrome began to explore the inside of their new home. It was already looking big from the outside, but it looks even bigger from the inside. It's pretty much empty as they gave them the option to decorate the villa themselves. It had two floors, each floor had a bathroom. The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a few empty rooms. The second had also several rooms, two of the room have very comfortable beds. There is also a basement enough space to store something. And lastly the yard. the garden was wide, there was also a small hot spring and a dojo.
"They didn't hold back at all. There is too much space for only two people. What was the Dean thinking?" Tsuna was lost in his words, shaking his head in disbelieve. However, he already accepted this and put this behind him as he turned to his companion, "So, what do you think about our situation, Chrome?"
Chrome made a thoughtful expression until she turned to Tsuna to answer, "To be honest, I don't really understand why WE are here, 'Boss'."
Tsuna nodded, understanding what Chrome had meant, "I agree, I could tell that inside this campus, there were really powerful people. Maybe about one-third of the staff are Magic-user. Takahata-sensei alone is quite strong and Konoe-sama is probably in the same league as 'Grandpa'. I don't really see why they would need us. Either, the incident in Kyoto was really something to worry about, or... there is something else. I must say, it's amazing how they hide the fact that magic exists, then again it's the same with us."
"Class 3-A.. some of them are... interesting." Chrome remembered their encounter in the class they'd visited in the morning. She had noticed the students who were very alert of the two of them.
Tsuna opened the class-roll book, looking through his 31 students. "I don't think they all were put in the same class by chance..." Tsuna trailed off a bit as his eyes were set on Konoka's picture, there was also a brief pause on Setsuna's picture.
"'Boss'?" Chrome noticed.
"...Sorry, Chrome, seems like I was lost in my thoughts," Tsuna began to focus again, he noticed this earlier, something about the two is lingering in his mind, but every time he tries to find the reason, something blocks his mind. He was really confused, but as he is now their teacher, there will be chances to talk to them, and who knows maybe talking to them will unsolve this mystery.
"For now... let just continue our mission. There is no reason for us to question everything as nothing had happened yet. We can tell that the people here are trustworthy. Sooner or later we will find out why we were sent here. For the time being, let just give our best."
"Yes, 'Boss'!"
"Chrome, I leave the coverage of Mahora Academy to you."
Chrome nodded going out to their new yard, at the same time, a ring on her finger ignited an indigo flame, "come... Maleficent."
[Corvo di Nebbia ver. Vongola (Raven of Mist ver. Vongola), nicknamed Maleficent, is Chrome's Mist attribute Animal partner. It's very loyal to Chrome and has a small rivalry with Mukuro's Animal partner 'Mukurowl']
A black raven covered in mist flames emerged from the ring, flattering in front of Chrome.
"Split," Chrome said and the raven suddenly split itself into 8 chibi versions of itself.
"Go!" Chrome lastly commanded and the 8 ravens spread through Mahora Academy.
Maleficent has the ability to split itself to a maximum of 8 ravens. They can freely roam about 10 km around her. Chrome can freely switch between the Ravens to see their vision in real-time or she can access it later like a video recording, though she will be unable to move as she needs to focus if she uses either of these abilities. Chrome can also allow someone else to use the second ability, all it needs is to touch one of the Raven to see its recording, though they would have the same side-effect to be unable to move.
"Thanks, that will be helpful to know our surroundings." Tsuna looks at the class-roll one last time and couldn't suppress his smile, "I'm looking forward to tomorrow."
-To Be Continued-
Next Chapter: Class 3-A
Author Note:
Like Katekyo Hitman Reborn! from Amano Akira I also really love Mahou Sensei Negima! from Akamatsu Ken, it is actually also one of the very first mangas I have read.
Similar to KHR I never would've thought that Negima would become such an adventurous story after reading the first two volumes, but then again it was about Magic! I should have seen that coming.
This Chapter was actually very hard to write. I really wanted to properly introduce each girl of Class 3-A. However, I quickly realize how hard it is to keep track of 31 different Characters. And as much as I love Negima, I have to admit, I don't know everything about it, especially to the characters who I initially wasn't interest in the first place and it is not limited to Negima alone, even in KHR or other series.
I have and still do a lot of researches by rereading both Mangas again and opened the Wikipedia website. And really, thank you to all the people behind the Wikia pages of both series, I would've been lost without them, really thank you very much for your hard work to write all the information on the website. I still discover a lot of new things for myself, despite being a fan of both series for a long time. There are also so many small details that I have missed and make me fall in love with the series once again. :D
I still have a lot of ideas in my mind, new characters, new story arcs, and also a lot of small details. I know I can hardly write a perfect story, but at least I want to try to lessen the plotholes.
Chapter 4 will take a while, but I hope you enjoyed this chapter and want me to continue for more, till the next time~
