Chapter 4 Super Heroes Exist, Right?

I am pretty sure I have gone insane at this point. How else would I explain why every single one of these kids had a painfully obvious lethal weapon and were using it with no remorse against each other, and then coming out alive? None, right? So I was going insane. Not completely, but I was getting there. And that stupid Reborn- you know what? Screw him, you were just going to call him Sideburns- wasn't helping.

However, my phone was now going off and the caller ID told me that I needed all of these lunatics to shut up, and to shut up now.

The next thing they know, they're weapons are all missing. Every single one of them and they had me smiling down sweetly with said weapons in one hand and holding up my phone with the other (having set Tsuna on the ground first so that he was out of range).

"Now you're going to listen and you're going to listen well, got it?" I say with a dangerous sort of sweetness, a tone reserved for the naughtiest on Santa's list. "You're all going to be nice and quiet during this phone call. None of you are going to make a sound. Not a squeak or a giggle. Because if my boyfriend hears anything that worries him, then he's not going to be very happy and might do something that could end up troublesome for me. And if it's troublesome for me, then all of you are going to be begging for hell to take you before this year has ended. And if you don't think a single English teacher could do something like that. Then I would think again, because this English teacher is going into the field of Chemical Engineering and has a few other little tricks up her sleeves. So you're going to shut up now, yes?"

I don't even wait for an answer before picking up the phone, bright smile still in place and carefully watching the kids for any movement indicating they were going to disobey me. I am pleased to see that I could still freeze kids in place with this gaze.

"Hi there Derek! Sorry for not answering right away, I'm on the tour of the school I'll be teaching in and I almost didn't notice my phone was going off...No, everything's great! I met the most adorable little kid in the entire world I think! It's too bad you didn't come with me…I already know, no need to apologize. The school I'll be working for moved everything for me anyways…Yeah! I didn't even know they would be so nice as to do something like that. But I really couldn't say no to them…Oh, no, no, no! They didn't threaten me. They were just really persuasive…Yes, yes. I'll be careful…Yes, I'll be sure to call you soon, although I'm sure you'll call me first…I understand…Me too, bye!" I sigh in relief and toss all the weapons back to the teenagers. "Go ahead and kill each other."

"Didn't think you were the type to lie to her boyfriend," Reborn stated with a damnable smirk.

I smile a bright innocent smile. "I didn't lie at all. Everything I said was true, I just didn't add any details."

The raven cocked an eyebrow. "And why is that?"

I shrug a little and bend down to pick up the small brunet. "I don't want to worry him too much. Derek is such a sweetheart, but he does worry over my well-being a lot. He didn't want me to come to Japan at all, so the fact that I've probably just been willingly kidnapped wouldn't sit well with him."

"So you date control freaks."

I bristle at that. "I do not! What gave you that opinion?"

The eyebrow rose even higher. "Your boyfriend is constantly checking up on you so that he always knows where you are and tried to control your choice of university."

I puff up my cheeks. "He's not trying to control my life in any way, he just cares a lot. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to me."

Reborn shook his head before smirking again. "It not my problem anyways. Hurry up, Nono set up a party for you so that you can meet your teachers and other colleagues."

xXx

"WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL!"

I wiggle my nose to keep confetti from making me sneeze. I kind of feel like there was a little more than necessary that had to be blasted directly into my face. I suppose I understand why Reborn made me drop off little Tsuna at his dorm.

Whack!

I look around to see that Reborn had moved from the position beside me to kick some purple obsessed biker through a wall.

Wait.

…

Oh my god! He went through a wall! As in, there was now a huge freaking hole in the side of the building! What WERE these people!

"Reborn, you're scaring the new teacher," a man in a bright red martial art outfit (that I couldn't remember the name of, that and I probably never knew in the first place) said calmly.

THIS WAS AN EVERYDAY OCCURANCE! WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS PLACE.

But the next second it comes to me.

"I got it," I say, slapping my fist against my other palm lightly. "This is a school for super heroes of some sort."

…

…

…

"What."

"It all makes sense now," I nod to myelf seriously. "It explains why so many kids have weapons and are always fighting, as well as that kid who flew and used fire. Not to mention that you have a mad scientist looking guy here, and Sideburns is ridiculously strong, but that other biker guy must be too because he survived that blow. Yes. I'm sure now. You're all apparently super heroes. No wonder you're all so good looking too."

I let out a relieved sigh and place a hand on the side of my face, tilting my head and smiling. "That's such a relief to know that I'm not going insane. But now everything is aaaaaall~ right."

…

"Reborn, what'd you spike her drink with?" A blue haired lady asked, jabbing her thumb my direction.

The raven scoffed at the remark lightly. "I didn't do anything. Besides, she hasn't eaten or drank anything since she's gotten here."

Martial arts guy chuckled lightly, sleeve covered hands over his mouth. "If you think about it, it would make sense for a normal person of society to come to that conclusion."

"Normal?" The blond guy from before jumped in. "But I thought she was teaching a class for both the middle school and high school section, kora."

Sideburns nodded. "She has a class with the eight of us as well."

"So she can't be normal," military guy emphasized.

I felt a vein pop in irritation. "What was that blondie?"

Martial arts guy shook his head and stepped forward. "We didn't mean you were abnormal. We just meant that for someone taking on the positions you were given, you must not be the normal everyday citizen. There has to be something extra."

I blink and smile apologetically. "Well, sorry to disappoint then. But I'm just a normal person. There's nothing really special about me, other than maybe the field of study I've chosen. But what you said earlier, does that mean you're all my teachers?"

"Teachers and colleagues," martial arts guy affirmed. "We're the only teachers for the university section and we also teach the younger grades as well. Of course there are plenty of other teachers since we can't possibly be cover all the grades."

Well…I guess that made sense. Hold on a minute! "All of you teach at the University?"

A nod and a smile, this guy was very calming. "That is correct."

"That's insane! You're all barely older than I am!" What was up with this crazy school? They couldn't all be geniuses could they? Were all super heroes super smart too?

"We've just worked very hard growing up so that we would know as much as we could." I turn around to see a woman wearing a giant puffy hat and white dress walk in.

Well, I suppose there were weirder things out there. But this brought up another issue. "So who's going to be my math teacher?"

If I could figure out how to rip that dang smirk off his face, I would. USE A DIFFERENT EXPRESSION ALREADY, DAMMIT! "That would be me."

"Ah." I nod in understanding. "So you're going to be my new arch nemesis."

Sideburns quirked an eyebrow up in question.

"It's not that I'm bad at math, but I sincerely hate the subject and I don't like anything beyond algebra and possibly trigonometry. So every year, it is inevitable that the math teacher and I will butt heads and not work well," I explain.

"Wait, you don't like math, but you're going into chemical engineering?" Oh? When did biker guy come back in? "How does that even work?"

"Shut up, lackey," Sideburns commanded the other guy. Poor sucker.

But to answer his question, I shrug. "It doesn't really require calculus for chemical engineering. There are some basic principles that come into play, but nothing as advanced as that. Even so, in order to get my degree, those advanced math courses are required."

"You should have known that already considering you have a degree," the blue haired lady berated the purple obsessed male.

The biker made a great show of sniffing indignantly and crossing his arms, pointing his nose up in the air. "A degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies thank you very much, and I've had it long enough to forget trivial things like that."

My smile brightens as I hold back the urge to throttle the arrogant jerk. I can't help but take a small amount of sadistic pleasure watching the biker get kicked through another couple of walls thanks to Sideburns and the military guy.

"Ooh! By the way," I interject the little bullying session as I remember my conclusion about the group (my eyes could possibly be sparkling from anticipation if I believed in such things), "what are your super powers supposed to be?"

For some reason, I feel like the group just sweat dropped. Although, this didn't put a damper on my mood since I really wanted to know their powers (it could possibly save my life later if I ever try to escape, besides it sounded so cool).

Sideburns' eyes suddenly took on a rather mischievous gleam and he smirked…jerk. "We'll tell you our super powers, if you tell us your own special ability."

I blink and tilt your head. "But I don't have a special ability."

As far as I knew, I was perfectly normal.

Sideburns tsked a few times and shook his head. "If you're teaching above the primary school section, then Nono knows you can do something else. Now cooperate with your colleagues and tell us. Or…we can find another way to get it out of you…"

I shiver from the obvious threat, but I can only scrunch my face up in confusion. "Despite what you think, I really am as normal as I could possibly think of. I have a mom and dad; I'm the middle of three sisters; we live in a decent house; I had straight A's in school and participated in a couple of clubs; I'm somewhat athletic; I can play a couple instruments; I had teacher I hated and teachers I likes, as well as the in between 'eh' ones…um…that's about it."

The group turned to face each other.

"Family problems?" Blondie brought up.

"Maybe, but that's not enough to land her this job, is it?" Martial arts guy pointed out.

I was going to get mad at this rate. I was standing right there. At least have the decency to walk out of the room before talking about me.

"No, you're right," puffy hat lady agreed, turning back to me for a second. "What are your parents' jobs?"

This was very confusing and it was becoming a little difficult to keep a smile on my face. "Uh…My mom works for the government and my dad works for some company…why?"

"Is either one away from home a lot?" Blue haired lady asked.

"Um…My dad is sometimes, but that's a part of his job…" What were these people getting at?

"What's his name," the same lady pressed.

"Ano, (dad's l/n, f/n)…"

"Never heard of him," the lady with the cloak spoke up for the first time, though she was just whispering to the others.

"What, so she really is just a normal person, kora?" Blondie asked incredulously.

Like, really? I was not even five feet away. What the hell?

"Hmph, it's not impossible," scientist guy spoke up for the first time as well. "Perhaps the Nono has theorized that a normal member of society would be able to influence the students in a more constructive fashion and turn their behavior into a more positive outcome."

Uh huh. Where was my dorm again?

"But I saw her stop the Varia!" Biker guy exclaimed.

Yup. I was just going to leave. I glance back at the group before walking out the door. It didn't seem like they were going to be missing me anytime soon anyways.

What a weird bunch of super heroes.

Reviews that are long or tickle my funny bone are the best. It makes me think, 'alright, how can I entertain my readers with this chapter?' and type up a storm. ^^ It also gives me something to read during work breaks, which I'm fond of.

Hope this chapter could make you chuckle (I'm working on it I promise!).

Reviews are lovely~!
