I was walking around college looking for him, for someone so talked about he manages to disappear well.
I noticed that people looked at me with ulterior I should have chosen more appropriate clothes to come here?
Well, I'm already here so there's nothing to do. Now where is he?
I looked this way and that looking for the person, until my vision caught sight of who I was looking for.
The man was leaving college with a backpack on his back.
I ran to catch up with him before he left since tomorrow was a weekend and I would only get to see him again at the beginning of the week.
I grab his arm, making him turn and look at me. It's a little amusing to see him raising his eyebrow at me since I'm taller than him.
"~Hello" I said in English with perfect pronunciation. I was always angry with my father for making me take the English classes, but today I really appreciate it, it's really useful.
He seems to get even more confused by me.
"Why are you speaking English, are you a transfer student?" He said with perfect pronunciation.
He doesn't seem like the cordial type, more of a brute type with words. A smile appeared on my face.
"Yes, I'm a transfer student, we're in the same class you know" he doesn't seem to know how to deal with me because of my approach.
"I see… Can you give me my arm back?" He said looking at my hand holding his arm.
"Oh, sorry. Here take it back" and so I let go of his arm with a smile.
"Well, welcome to the country and our college" said the student, "I think…"
The student was getting ready to leave again, but his arm was holding him again, this time a little stronger.
The student stopped and looked at the person again.
"Can I help you girl?" Said the student to the girl.
Hearing this, the girl's smile even more widened.
"Oh, that's nice of you" said the girl with a smile, "and sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not a girl. Sorry" said the girl with a smile.
His face and body were very feminine which could deceive anyone, the boy had long dark purple hair almost black tied in a ponytail and a small braid in front, his shirt was black and short and showed his belly and his pants were practically glued to her skin which gave emphasis to her rear. The boy wore three ear piercings and a choker, he was also something close to 1.72m, which was taller than the man who was speaking who was 1.66m.
For a moment the student thought the girl just had small breasts but it really was non-existent. The fact that she looked rather feminine didn't help.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Doesn't offend or offend you?" Said the student, he didn't care about it, as long as it didn't affect his life he didn't care what other people did but, some people were sensitive to it or even it was very important. The student was trying to guess whether the aesthetic of the boy in front of him was goth or rock, he's always been bad at those kinds of things.
"Meh, I don't mind but, Dad always asked me to pick better clothes. Something about someone of my status, I should dress accordingly" said the boy with his hand on his chest as if he was missing something. What the boy said caught the student's attention.
"Status, what do you mean by Status?" Said the student to the boy.
"Ah, let me show you" the boy tried to pick up the cell phone, turning it around and showing his back to the student. He saw that the cell phone was in his tight pants pocket. The boy spun and spun trying to get the cell phone, people looked wondering what was going on in that place.
"Here! I got it, check it out" the boy showed a photo on his cell phone. A little boy of at least six years old with long hair wearing a suit is held by a man with long purple hair in a ponytail wearing a luxurious suit in front of a giant building with something written in Japanese and then Company.
"So your father is a businessman?" the student asked the boy.
"Eh, you don't know daddy's press, it's the biggest in Japan. Known all over the world" said the boy with his hand over his mouth in surprise. Now the student noticed that the boy's fingernails were painted black.
Daddy... Does he call his father Daddy? A little childish…
"I think I know, he wasn't the one accused of corruption…" the student was interrupted.
"It's a lie!!" Said the boy speaking a little loudly, even speaking loudly his voice still sounded calm. In fact, even his voice was female. He was weird.
"Alright, no need to shout. Like I said welcome to college" said the student turning to leave but again he is held by the arm.
"Wait, come with me will you?" Said the boy, "and besides, I've been here for a while already" the boy completed pulling the student by the arm.
The student blinked as his arm was pulled by the boy. People who saw it would think the student was walking with his girlfriend.
"Well, the place is big, it makes sense that we didn't meet… I guess. Can you let go of my arm?" He said as he was dragged by the boy.
The boy stopped, "I've been here for three months" said the boy looking at the student making him blink.
"And we're still in the same class," added the boy.
"Then why haven't we met before?" Now the student got a little confused.
"I tried, I even threw paper balls at you, but you always ignored it or put your head on the table waiting for the class to end" said the boy pulling the student to a coffee pot.
"Wait? It was you!" Said the indignant student to the boy.
"Sorry, but you never paid attention. Here we are, let's sit down" said the boy in the coffee shop with chairs and tables outside the establishment.
"Come on, don't be shy" said the boy pointing to the chair.
The student got a little defensive with the boy's attitude but he sat in the chair.
"See, it wasn't that hard" said the boy, putting both elbows on the table and a smile on his face.
"What do you want ?" Really the student was kind of brutish with his words always straight to the point, that must be why he is talked about in the place, people would think he was just rude anyway.
"You know, you are talked about a lot around here" said the boy staring at the student with his light purple eyes.
"Now this is new, I don't remember people talking about me around here" said the student putting his backpack on the ground and crossing his arms. He wondered what the boy in front of him wanted.
"Question is, do you talk to anyone around here?" Said the boy.
"Daddy always told me that isolating yourself is not good for you" said the boy to the student.
"..."
The boy's smile grew, the soft expressions on the boy's face made his smile quite attractive. For both genres that were passing.
"Again, what do you want?" Again straight to the point as usual.
"You need a friend" said the boy, smiling at him.
The boy just pulled him here…he couldn't believe it…
"Look…" a waitress arrived to take the order.
"Oh, I'm going to have these and my friend is going to have these" said the boy to the waitress who raised an eyebrow at the boy.
"Are you visiting the country?" he asked the waitress with a slight accent.
"I'm actually living temporarily, I'm an exchange student" said the boy with a smile.
"Oh, I see. Well I'll bring your and your boyfriend's order" said the waitress as she left.
"Hey, wait no… and she's already gone…" said the student looking at the woman entering the coffee shop.
The boy laughed, "Don't worry, I'll pay"
"That's not what I'm worried about" said the boy leaning back in the chair.
"Don't worry, I think she confused me too" said the boy. The student looked at the boy.
"As I said, you need a friend, you know that people talk about you a lot. As you are lonely, you refuse the friendly attempts of others to approach you, how even in group work you choose to do it alone even if you suffer punishment" of this the boy making the student cross his arms and stare at him.
"Me, I'm fine. Thanks" said the student.
"There, cruel. You know I'm going to keep asking until you accept it isn't it" said the boy putting his hand on his heart and closing his eyes.
"So, I'll try until you say yes then…" said the boy, opening one eye to look at the student.
"That's a little scary if you ask me" said the student, sighing.
"So…" said the boy.
"Answer… why me?" Said the student to the boy who winked at him.
"I liked you, besides it's like a voice in my head said to be your friend, I want to be your friend" said the boy smiling.
…
"A little worrying, really…" said the student to the boy.
Well, it looks like he had no choice. There were still four years left in college and he wasn't going anywhere, and it seems that what the boy said about always trying was true and the student wouldn't want those years to be hell with the boy's insistence.
The waitress arrived with the order and placed it on the table.
There was a little bit of everything from salad to milkshake among others.
"Here you are, sorry for the delay" said the waitress.
"No problem, thanks," the boy waved at the waitress.
"Let's eat before it gets cold" said the boy while choosing what to eat first" the student just sighed and looked at the table to get something to eat.
"Ah, you never said your name" said the boy, smiling at the student.
"why I think you already know," said the student.
"Well…" said the boy looking away in embarrassment.
The student sighed again.
"John" said the student, looking at the boy.
The boy smiled.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Mei Raiden. Let's get along, senpai. Said Mei Raiden with a smile.
The Tale of the Red Oni and Blue Oni
-4-
"What a shame, what a shame, what a shame!" Mei said turning from side to side and holding the sheets.
"Why did you do that?!" Said the Raiden heiress hugging the pillow.
"I don't know…" the Herrscher of Thunder was confused too.
"Now, he must think I'm a stranger, he shouldn't have made even one deal with you" Mei whispered. A person you barely know hugs you out of nowhere, it's really not normal.
What am I going to do, if I meet him tomorrow what am I going to say…
"It's already morning and it's not like he would understand you" said the herrscher.
"What ?" Mei Raiden looked out the closed window and noticed that the sun was rising"
"You've been muttering for hours that you've stayed up all night" huffed the herrscher.
"If it's been that long…" said the heiress.
"You and your delusions have kept you up all night. Watch out for my body," said the herrscher.
"Your ?" Mei asked, confused.
"..." The herrscher didn't answer.
The noise of someone knocking on the door caught the girl's attention.
"Mei senpai, it's starting to get late. We have to have breakfast and go to class" said Kiana behind the door.
The heiress blinked, was it that late? Usually Mei was the first to wake up.
"I'm coming, Kiana" said The Raiden heiress upon hearing the girl Kaslana.
"Come on, it's waiting to eat Mei's food," Kiana said, her stomach rumbling drawing the heiress' attention.
A smile came to the heiress' face, really only Kiana could do that in the morning.
The heiress got up and grabbed her uniform and left the room towards the bathroom.
"So you're going to tell me what 'my body' was all about?" Mei said, waiting for the herrscher's answer.
But the herrscher didn't answer.
Well, she just decided to ignore it and take a shower.
The heiress after entering the bathroom begins to take off her clothes and enters the shower.
"I wonder if he'll cook again" murmured Mei, thinking about the possibility.
All the heiress wanted to focus on now was the hot water falling on her body.
-1-
"Hungry… Mei senpai where are you…" said Kiana on the sofa with her hair down.
"Big sister is taking longer than usual…" said Bronya sitting on the couch looking at the turned off television.
"I think I'm going to starve to death," Kiana said, clutching her stomach.
"Subject Kiana is very dramatic" said Bronya, looking at Kiana.
"It's true…" said Kiana looking down at the ground in dismay.
The Kaslana girl wouldn't have to wait any longer.
"Sorry for the delay, I didn't keep you waiting did I?" Said Mei with her uniform. It felt more like a military universe than a school one. Kiana's resembled a military design too, the only one that looked more like a school uniform was Bronya's.
"Mei, food please…" Kiana said sliding off the couch and onto the floor.
Mei blinked at Kiana and then looked at Bronya.
"Mister John, didn't you cook this time?" Mei asked, looking from side to side looking for the man.
Bronya shook her head in denial, "Subject John woke up early with teacher Himeko, and they had a quick breakfast and then left"
"Wait for them to leave? And made a quick breakfast?" Mei said.
Bronya nodded in confirmation, "Subject John, cooked eggs, toast and made fruit juice for him and Professor Himeko. He said he would cook next time"
"I see…" the heiress wanted to eat the man's food again… well that would be for next time.
The heiress was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt someone holding her legs.
"Mei… food…" the Kaslana girl crawled towards the heiress' legs.
"Alright alright, I'll start preparing" Mei said which made Kiana make a happy noise.
"I won't be long, okay?" Mei said heading towards the kitchen.
"Mei… food, so good…" It looked like the girl was delirious on the floor which made Mei smile at the girl's attitude.
"Subject Kiana is acting like a child," Bronya said from her knees on the couch and watching Kiana.
The answer for Bronya was just a few grunts.
Which made Bronya raise her eyebrow.
"Bronya… can you tell me where the two went?" Said Mei getting the ingredients inside the fridge.
Hm, maybe she should go shopping, food is already running low…
Bronya blinked and looked at Mei.
"Professor Himeko said she needed to take him to see Principal Theresa and Tesla. Professor Himeko said she would be back in time for Honkai Nature and Behavior classes and Combat class" said Bronya kneeling on the couch looking at Mei.
I think Madam Himeko said something like that.
Mei gave a yawn as she held the ingredients.
"Don't worry, no one will be hungry while I'm here" Mei said.
Bronya nodded and Kiana made a sound that couldn't be made by a normal human being.
Mei took this as a sign for her to start, or the girl Kaslana would starve.
…
Kiana blinked up at the ceiling as she thought about what happened last night.
She heard someone leave the apartment but ignored what caught her attention was Mei who was walking silently as she left the apartment.
The girl Kaslana, wondered where her Senpai was going. She decided to wait a bit and, struggling with sleep, the girl got up from the sofa, but before she could get up, Mei entered and passed by her at great speed.
"Mei senpai!" Kiana said in surprise but the girl didn't hear.
Bronya was still sleeping, it looked like the girl was a heavy sleeper.
The sound of footsteps drew Kiana's attention.
?!
Kaslana's eyes widened when she saw the man in the doorway.
What was she doing there or better because Mei senpai was with him?
The man closed the door and he noticed that Kaslana was looking at him.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds...
Why was he alone with Mei senpai?!
…
"Kiana… Kiana… Kiana!" Mei's voice caught the attention of the girl Kaslana.
"Eh? You called me, Mei?" Kiana said, getting up from the floor.
"I've been calling for a while. The food is ready" said Mei in front of the dining table wearing an apron.
Kiana blinked and noticed that Bronya was already sitting at the dining room table.
"I'm coming, Mei" said Bronya as she ran towards the table.
"Do not run!" She scolded the Raiden heiress.
"Sorry," Kiana said as she sat down to breakfast.
Mei had made Wakame Rice Ball, which had Kiana's mouth watering.
"That guy Kiana, he has no manners" said Bronya seeing the saliva in the Kaslana girl's mouth.
"Can't resist, Mei's cooking is unsurpassed!" It looked like the girl's eyes were shining.
"You're exaggerating, I still have a lot to learn" Mei said, removing her apron and sitting on the chair.
"It's the best!" Kiana said with food in her mouth.
"Don't talk with your mouth full" scolded Mei.
"Sorry," Kiana said.
Mei looked at the food, it didn't look appetizing to her even though the dish looked great and smelled delicious.
For some reason the food did not seem appetizing to the heiress.
She watched Bronya and Kiana enjoying their food, but for some reason the heiress didn't feel like eating her own food.
She sighed and popped a mouthful.
She really wanted to eat the food made by Mr. John.

"Well, all you Honkai are…." The teacher was interrupted by the door that opened violently.
?!
"We're here… ha… ha… ha…" said the girl Kaslana panting and holding on to the door.
"Subject Kiana is very Noisy" said Bronya, walking past Kiana and entering the room.
"Sorry I'm late, teacher Himeko" said Mei passing by Kiana.
"..." Himeko just watched the girls walk in in silence.
"Eh? Auntie Himeko, you weren't with that guy… That's where it hurts Auntie Himeko" said Kiana while Himeko pulls Kaslana's ear.
"Sit down Kiana, this is not the time for this" Himeko said, pulling Kiana's ear and placing her in the chair in front of her.
"There there there there" said Kiana rubbing her ear, but what the girl Kaslana said was enough to make a fuss among the students.
"Eh? A boy" a voice came from a female student.
"Is there a boy here on St. Freya?" Another student said.
"Teacher Himeko brought a boy?!" Another voice said.
"How embarrassing" said another student.
"Professor Himeko will introduce you to us?" a loud voice said.
"ENOUGH!" Himeko screamed, making all the students fall silent.
Himeko narrowed her eyes at Kiana who looked away.
Fu hua blinked, so what Kiana was talking about was this.
"Concentrate on class" said Himeko, giving Kiana a frustrated look.
"But we want to know about it, Professor," said the student.
"Yes, yes, tell us about it" Himeko sighed.
Someone got up to get everyone's attention.
"That's enough, if teacher Himeko isn't talking then it must be something important. So focus on the class" said Fu Hua, straightening her glasses.
"not cool"
"Dull class representative" she told the students as they sat in the chair.
"Well, as I was saying before I was interrupted" Himeko said looking at the girls who lowered their heads.
"Mechas: are adopted from forces in close combat and are strong against biologicals.
Biological: have diverse skill sets and are strong against Psychic.
Psychic: They specialize in unconventional attacks and are strong against Mecha.
Everything I've said here applies to both Valkyries and Honkai. A good strategy is to create teams that are effective against opposing types, well if you have enemy information of course. Not every mission will be simple like in school where they chose the type of armor they used for the suitable enemy. There will come a time when they are at a disadvantage and they will have to adapt" Himeko told the class who started to pay close attention to the teacher. Himeko noticed out of the corner of her eyes that Kiana was sleeping with her hand on her cheek.
The crimson valkyrie grabbed the book that was on her desk and slammed it into Kiana's chair causing her to wake up and fall out of her chair.
"And that will be the difference between LIFE and DEATH. I think it's good that you remember that" said Himeko, looking at Kiana.
"Hehe" Kiana said with her tongue sticking out.
"I know class is boring for you Kiana, but I hope I will at least stay awake for five minutes and not fall asleep the moment I open my mouth" Himeko said, sighing at Kiana.
"It's just too boring, auntie…" her ear was pulled again, "Hey there, teacher is teacher Himeko" said Kiana suffering in Himeko's hands.
Himeko looked at Kiana and sighed, "What do I do with you"
"Hey, I don't need that, I'm an S Rank Valkyrie" Kiana said rubbing her ears.
"So you're studying for the exam, everything I said will be on the exam" Himeko said with a raised eyebrow.
"You know that Durandal will come to visit and congratulate the top performers," Himeko said.
"Ehhhhhh Durandal… here?!" Kiana yelled, the girls in the class started whispering about it too.
"Silence!" Himeko shouted.
"Yes, she will come so don't take it as a joke, if you're such an S rank valkyria that you talk so much, this would be a good time to prove it" Himeko said offering her hand to Kiana.
The Kaslana girl blinked and accepted Himeko's hand but the moment Kiana took her hand something happened.
…
A vision of a completely worn Himeko with her armor completely broken and her hair lying down on the ground as the ship the woman was on was torn to pieces and the valkyrie fell into darkness and a girl with long white hair screaming in agony as black circles opened up on all over the places.
…
"Kiana… Kiana, are you listening to me?" Himeko snapped her fingers in front of Kaslana's face.
"Yeah, I got distracted for a second" Kiana said as she looked at Himeko.
The Valkyrie sighed, she really had no way of getting Kiana Kaslana to pay attention in class. All the girl was interested in was Food, Video Games and Mei.
"Sit down Kiana, and try to stay awake" Himeko said.
Kiana sat in the chair and wondered what it was that she saw. It was just painful to see that.
Kiana looked at Himeko and decided to pay attention in class. The attitude made Himeko raise her eyebrow at the girl's attitude.
Well she didn't ask.
"Well, let's continue" Himeko said.
…
Mei felt someone poke her back, the heiress turned around and noticed that the poke was Fu Hua.
"Class' representant?" whispered Mei.
"Hello Mei, what was that Kiana was saying?" Fu Hua asked.
Mei scratched her cheek not knowing if she could answer that but
"You didn't say that this was Professor Himeko's business, Fu Hua" said Mei trying to deflect the subject.
But it didn't work with the Chinese girl.
"Yes I said, but as you scolded my duty is to know what's going on so that there can be order and I can't do anything in the dark" Whispered Fu Hua looking ahead.
Mei sighed, "When teacher Himeko canceled classes yesterday, she went to settle a call in Osaka. It seems the reason was a man with strange readings" Mei whispered back with her hand on the side of her mouth
So what Kiana said made sense now.
"Himeko brought you here?" Bringing a boy into an all-boys school was questionable to say the least, but Fu Hua trusted his superiors' motives.
"Well… he slept in our apartment" said Mei, looking away.
Fu hua blinked, what…
"Well, in the guest room of course" Mei said quickly.
Ah, well, if that was it then I guess that's fine. I think…
"Miss Himeko took him to see Principal Theresa and Miss Tesla," Mei said.
Fu Hua looked to the side thoughtfully.
"Thank you, I'll visit you both soon" said Fu Hua and turned her attention back to the class.
Mei scratched her eyebrow and thought if she should have said that, Himeko would be angry. If the heiress is lucky, Himeko puts the blame on Kiana. Shame… yes more if it happens it happened.
"I'm enjoying this princess side" said the Herrscher of Thunder.
"Big sister…" Bronya murmured without looking at her.
Mei's face heated up and she looked forward again. Bronya didn't need to say anything to scold the girl.
…
"Oh, come on. Talking in class is not like you"
Fu Hua ignored the voice.
"Come on, you're all Right. At the very least it's unusual"
Fu Hua just blinked.
"Don't tell me it's past that time. You humans are, aren't you? You're already eighteen if I remember"
Fu Hua squeezed the pencil which broke in two.
Bronya looked at her and Fu Hua looked back and gave the girl a smile. Bronya looked at the broken pencil in the girl's hand and shook her head.
"It's nothing, I just squeezed it really hard," Fu Hua said in a gentle voice.
Bronya just nodded and returned her attention to the class.
"Well at least I'll see what you see too. You're not going to be mean and deprive me of this are you?" Said the voice in Fu Hua's head.
"..."
"The big sister here is going to be hurt," said the voice.
"We are not sisters" whispered Fu Hua.
"It hurts me, but it's not a lie. Well, I'll wait and see through her eyes then. Bye bye" said the voice leaving Fu Hua in silence.
Fu Hua sighed, sometimes it was annoying to deal with her childish attitude. Sometimes she was more childish than Kiana.
-1-
"So…" said John looking at a small girl with light red hair and glasses.
When Himeko said about a female scientist would he have guessed… an adult? Himeko said that she was the same age as her but...
It also didn't help that the headmistress looked ten years old. Well even with the childish appearance the little director acted responsibly... most of the time. She occasionally acts childish, asking if he was impressed by the cuteness of the cutest director in the world.
Well, he blinked and waited. At first Tesla was doing normal tests but then it was escalating.
"I don't understand, it doesn't make any sense…" the girl with the glasses looked at the computer seeing the graphics go up and down and then turn off and on" said Tresla frustrated looking at the screen.
"I must admit that in all my years as a Valkyrie this is the first time I've seen this," Theresa said looking at the computer beside Tesla and then at the man who looked like he was losing his temper.
"You don't seem to be enjoying it very much," Theresa said looking at the man who just narrowed his eyes at her.
"Oh, why do you ask? The fact that these things are on my body or the fact that I'm shirtless in a freezing place" he said glaring at the director who laughed nervously.
"I think he's right, Tesla, I think it's good to stop for today" said Theresa to the scientist.
"For today?" John said with raised eyebrows.
"Please wait! let me run some more tests, I need some information" Tesla got up from his chair suddenly causing the man and Theresa to blink in surprise.
"What do you intend to do, Tesla" said Theresa in Japanese.
"I could see some patterns at the beginning of the tests, but then they disappeared the more complicated they got. I want to test something" said Tesla looking at John who raised his eyebrow and looked like he was trying to hug himself because of the cold of the place and then looked at Theresa.
"Okay, will you do it?" Theresa said the girl with the glasses.
"John, can you go where the Honkai skin was please" she said to the man in English she had an accent but it was short.
The man blinked, and looked at what she was referring to.
"Are you referring to this thing that looks like a white marble?" John said.
Tesla blinked, she had never noticed that the Honkai's skin actually looked like white marble.
"Yes, come over please" she told him.
A broken piece of Honkai skin was leaning against the wall, it was big.
He removed the devices connected to his body. They made a 'pop' sound because of the tip stuck to the skin.
John walked over and laid his hand on the Honkai's skin and looked at her.
"Again, see the same reading but it only appears when he's close to a Honkai" said Tesla to Theresa who bent down and looked at the computer.
"Hm, I have an idea" Theresa said as she looked at John. Tesla raised an eyebrow.
"John, I'll punch Honkai's skin," Theresa said.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Tesla shouted in Japanese at Theresa who flinched.
"The skin of the Honkai is harder than Titanium, he will break his hand" Tesla said, but when she noticed the man he was ready to punch.
"Wait, John!" The scientist screamed, but it was too late.
John landed a powerful punch on Honkai's skin.
and…
The skin just broke, as if it were made of glass without a problem.
Tesla blinked and blinked in disbelief. The scientist ran and held his hand to see if his hand was in good condition.
"What?!" There wasn't even a scratch.
Tesla looked at his hand and then at the broken skin on the floor.
"Eh?" Tesla asked.
"I think I have an idea of what strange reading is coming from you, John" Theresa said in English, getting their attention.
John pulled the hand Tesla was holding and looked at the director.
"What would it be?" John said.
"You know ?" Said Tesla in English.
Theresa shook her head, "It's more of a theory than anything," Theresa said.
"It seems that John is nullifying the Honkai energy to the point where he is fragile and breaks very easily" Theresa said, pointing to the broken skin.
Tesla blinked and looked at the wreckage and then at John.
"So he's acting like an antibody?" Said Tesla.
"Well, that's what I think, I'm not sure, but that's what it seems to me," Theresa said, leaning back in her chair.
"But never before has anything like this been recorded," said Tesla looking at John.
"There's always a first time I guess" said John walking to get his shirt that was on the chair next to Theresa.
"He's right, there's always a first time" said the director, picking up her shirt from the chair next to her.
"I think..." said Tesla.
Theresa was holding only her shirt. John tried to pick her up but the principal placed the shirt in his other hand preventing the man from taking his shirt.
John raised his eyebrows, "So… will you give me my shirt?" Said John to the little girl.
Theresa smiled, "Here take it, it's very close," said the director holding the shirt in her left hand.
John tried to pick it up but the director moved the shirt away from the man. John tried to take it again, but the principal changed his shirt and put it in the opposite hand.
John began to get irritated with the small woman's teasing.
"You Brat, give me that. It's cold!" John grabbed her wrists and got on top of Theresa, reaching up to grab the shirt.
"Hehe, I'm older than you. And that's no way to treat a cutie like me" Theresa said laughing as the man was on top of her. John's legs were a little closer to her crotch, as he put his knees to lean on the chair so he wouldn't lose his balance and fall.
"If you didn't act like a Brat, I wouldn't do this" John said holding the shirt but the Brat didn't let go.
"Bold pf you, and what's the matter I'm bored. We've been here a few hours" Theresa said, smiling.
Tesla just blinked as he watched the two interact. Sometimes Theresa resembled Kiana, a child version of Kiana would be a better comparison.
The noise of the door opened and caught everyone's attention.
"Oh my, if I had known that you would attack innocent maidens I wouldn't have left you alone with the two of you" said Himeko when seeing the situation.
Theresa bowed her head seeing Himeko upside down.
"Hello Himeko, are the theoretical classes over already?" Said Theresa in English.
John seized the opportunity and took the shirt from her hand.
"No fun," Theresa said with a pout.
Himeko blinked and now that he was shirtless, she actually saw how much scars he had on her body.
"Yes, I came to check on them to see how they are doing" she said looking at John pulling on his shirt.
"We've managed to make quite a bit of progress with our grouchy fellow here," Theresa said, giving him a thumbs-up.
John just narrowed his eyes on her.
"Now that we're done, I'll be waiting for the Ship to take me away from this place" said John, buttoning his shirt.
Everyone blinked at what the man said.
"After all, we have a deal right Himeko" said John looking at her.
"Agreement?" Theresa repeated.
Himeko flinched, the woman didn't want the man to leave. At least not yet, she liked John as much as he was grouchy, he wasn't a bad person, when you got to know him better the man saw that he cared about others or at least the people he thought were worth just caring about .
Himeko scratched her head not knowing what to say.
"Himeko, what does he mean to go?" Tesla said, did the man intend to leave? She needed more information, if what Theresa said was true John could be very useful in the battle against the Honkai but she couldn't make him stay.
Theresa just looked at Himeko who looked back.
"You owe me a drink, sweetheart. You have to buy yours first" Himeko said, blowing a kiss to the man.
John blinked and sighed, "I think you're right"
Hearing that Himeko smiled, "HOHOHOHO you're going to love it sweetie but I still have to teach a Combat class after we can drink. Why don't you come with me and watch" Himeko said, approaching the man and putting her hand around his neck.
"Well I'll have to wait anyway so why not" John sighed.
"Then let's go, sweetie" Himeko said as she pulled the man with her arms around his neck.
Before leaving the room, Himeko gave Theresa a look that said she'd explain later.
Theresa looked back and the practitioner was saying that she better explain.
As Himeko pulled the man he felt something strange, he felt a heat with Himeko's arms around his neck, like a flame but this flame was not glowing like a flame should.
That flame is going out little by little.
John looked at her, Himeko noticed and looked back at him.
"~Hello" she said with a gentle smile.
John blinked.
Maybe it was just his imagination.

Well after a long time the story was written, I'm satisfied with what to write but I intend to develop more the concepts I have in future chapters.
If there is confusion in this story about what was presented, rest assured things will be explained little by little and as I said with changing some things, many things in the Honkai Universe are not explained or not developed so I will have to adapt or change to match the story.
Well I see the story deviates quite a bit from the Original timeline.
Well tell me if you liked the chapter or not, I'll see what I can do better in the next chapters.
Well, until next time…
Next Grand Order update.
