The sound of the bell ringing again tells everyone that it's time for lunch and just as he reaches under his desk for the lunch that he made the night before Kazuma hears his teacher call to him.
"Kazuma."
"Yeah," Kazuma says to her, as he puts his lunch on his desk but he stops talking when he sees that she's holding the sheet of paper that he left on her desk.
'While I don't agree with your club, I have to admit that it's still an afterschool activity." She says to him as she puts the paper in front of him.
"I already placed my name as the person that will be keeping an eye on you, so all that you have to do is find people to join." she says t him with a cheerful voice.
Kazuma wants to protest, he wants to say that he had just written that down as a joke, but in all honesty, he can't see why the club can't exist.
It's true that monsters exist in this world and some people will want to hurt him if they find out that he can see them, but there are also people like Kanae's husband that are willing to help people.
"Yeah, I don't know anyone." Kazuma says to her but the woman hands him a handful of papers.
"I already made the copies and told the student council that you will be putting the signup sheet on the boards, so it's up to you to put them up so people can sign up for it." she says to him before walking away.
Kazuma can feel his classmate's eyes on him, but he ignores them and opens his lunchbox, and allows himself to enjoy the cold smell of the food that he made last night.
"Mind if I sit here." he hears someone say to him and when he looks up he sees that it's one of the kids that are usually being picked on.
'o ahead." Kazuma says to him.
He ignores the kid as he moves the desk in front of him so that the desks are facing each other before he puts his lunch on the table, but the moment the boy opens his lunch box, one of the bullies shoves his hand into the box and pulls out a piece of fried chicken.
Kazuma doesn't say anything as the bully eats the kid's lunch and then spits in the kid's lunchbox.
He doesn't say anything even when the bully walks back t his friends and starts to laugh with them.
"Get up. " he says to the kid who just sits there looking at his ruined food.
"What?" the boy says to him.
"I said get up, go buy a couple of sandwiches and some juice." Kazuma says to the kid as he hands him some of the money that Ryūken gave him.
The boy takes the money and walks out of the class with his head down.
Kazuma listens to the boy's footsteps even as they are drowned by the other students who are talking with each other or walking down the hallway, when he's sure that the kid is gone he stands up.
'Kazuma what are you?" Masaki says to him as Kazuma walks towards the bullies.
"Apologies to him." he says to the guy that spat in the kid's food.
The bully is easily taller them Kazuma, as Kazuma's head only reaches up to his shoulders.
The group in front of him is made of five people and all of them look stronger than him, so when he says this they all start to laugh before they begin to both insult and try to scare him.
Kazuma ignores everything that they say to him because he's heard it all before, back in his version of Earth, back when he was the one being looked down on by everyone.
"So get lost!" the bully says to him as he grabs Kazuma from his shirt, unfortunately for him, Kazuas skills flare so instead of Kazuma being thrown across the room, he uses the bully's power to throw him across the room.
The sound of the kid's body hitting the wall and all of the desks makes everyone that was trying to ignore what was happening including their teacher turn to look at what was going on
The rest of the group tries to attack him, but Kazuma easily avoids them and forces them to either slip and fall or bump into each other, and he soon has them kneeling on the floor gasping for air.
The sound of the fight makes everyone that was in the hallway gather to see what was going on and unfortunately, a couple of teachers force their way into the room before they see Kazuma standing in front of the group of bullies, the teachers run up t him and try to force him onto the floor, but Kazuma easily avoids them.
'Stop, he didn't do anything wrong." his teacher says to the group of teachers who look at her with anger.
"Then what happened here!?" one of the male teachers demands her to answer.
"You don't come to my class and demand anything, just as I don't enter and demand anything from you in your class."
"If you put your hands on my student, I will report you to the authorities." his teacher says to the group of teachers who angrily leave the classroom.
'Kazuma, stay after class for detention, the rest of you, you know he held back because he never threw a punch."
"Remember that when you try to do something to him," she says to the group of bullies who stand up and walk out of the class.
As the crowd outside begins to leave Kazuma sees that the guy he sent to buy the sandwiches is standing at the door.
"I bought your." he begins to say to Kazuma.
'I didn't tell you to buy them for me, throw the food that guy ruined away, you can pay me back when you can." Kazuma says to the boy as he walks back to his desk and sees that his lunch is on the floor.
He just smiles, it must have been knocked down when he threw the guy across the room or when they were trying to hit him.
"Here, two for you two for me." the kid says to him as he hands Kazuma a pair of sandwiches.
the two of them sit down and eat after they pick up the mess, unbeknownst to Kazuma, Masaki, Kanae, and his teacher lock eyes with one another, before they all look at Kazuma and the boy in front of him.
