AN1: So this is not the teaching one but the Hisui and Naruto getting to know each other better one.
I dunno I might try to focus on getting every story at least one update a month or just do whatever. My drive for updates is pretty low right now…
Chapter 21 Naruto gets his pick of the Litter
"So Hisui-chan what do you want to do on this free day?" Naruto asked the pretty princess curiously. He had never been to this part of Fiore so he was fine just doing whatever the Princess asked.
"Hmm.." Hisui thought for a moment before a look of realization appeared on her face. "Shoot! Sorry Naruto-kun. I still have to decide on whether to accept one student into the term and who they should be placed under." Hisui apologized with an apologizing look.
Naruto sent her a grin and shook his head. "No worries Hisui-chan. Do you want some help?" Naruto asked as Hisui tilted her head to the side.
"Help?" Hisui asked as she gathered some files from inside her desk onto the top.
"Yeah help! I mean if you can't decide whether to accept the student maybe you need another person's opinion." Naruto remarked before adding "Two heads are better than one right?" Naruto joked lamely.
Hisui sent him a blank look before a fit of giggles left her mouth making Naruto grin. Hisui quickly covered her mouth when she realized how un lady-like she just acted. She was still pleased at Naruto attempt to lighten the mood. "Alright Naruto-kun you win." Hisui surrendered before she took one folder marked 'On Standby'.
Naruto looked art Hisui who was scanning through the folder with a frown. "So, what's the problem?" Naruto asked as Hisui looked up and sighed.
"Most of the people rejected are people who boast that 'they get to be the first people taught at the school rub by the King!' in their reason for picking us." Hisui said with annoyance as Naruto also frowned. "However, this applicant wrote 'I want to try really hard and do my best.' As the reason why." Hisui said with a look of tiredness.
Naruto gave her a look of confusion so she explained. "The entry fee for taking the class is 50 000 jewels and this poor applicant only could afford 10 000." Hisui said with regret as she bit her lip nervously. "Father told me I have to be objective with the applicants and cannot play favourites which is what I do if I waive the fee for this one applicant." Hisui revealed sadly as Naruto looked thoughtful.
"Hisui-chan can I see the folder please?" Naruto asked as Hisui looked at him before she handed the folder over. 'Hmm. Lets see. Wendy Marvell huh? Looks like she is part of a guild called Cait Shelter? Never heard of them. Yeah it does look like she could only afford part of the entry fee but her application seems honest and pure.' Naruto thought reading over the file silently.
"Any idea what the Cait Shelter is?" Naruto asked as Hisui thought it over.
"Hmm. Honestly, I only know that Wendy Marvel herself registered the guild herself on behalf of its master several years ago. It is not famous like Fairy Tail or Luminous Scales but is a registered Legal guild." Hisui informed Naruto who though I was rather strange but choose not to comment on it.
After at few minutes Hisui sighed and grabbed her pen with a sad look in her eyes. "If I am going to become Queen I must stay fair so sadly Wendy Marvel must be rejected." Hisui said but to her surprise Naruto stopped her with a shake of her head.
"Hey you don't need to be hasty here. If you think Wendy is an ideal student and the only thing stopping her from coming here than I can pay the 50 000 jewels." Naruto assured her as Hisui looked wide eyed and surprised.
"What? You mean you want to buy admission for a girl you have never met before based on nothing?" Hisui said with an incredulous tone as Naruto sweatdropped.
'It sounds crazy when you have THAT kind of tone.' Naruto thought to himself as he swore he could sense the Tailed Beasts snickering at him. "Hey its no big deal. You can keep your neutral objective position and Wendy here can get a chance to better herself. Everyone wins!" Naruto said cheerfully as Hisui looked at him in confusion.
"Why would you go so far for somebody you never known before Naruto-kun?" Hisui demanded as Naruto looked away for a minute.
"Because nobody can become great if nobody believes in them." Naruto replied with deep thought before adding "If people didn't believe in me than I would not be here today." Naruto then had several imagines appear in his mind: Iruka, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Team 7, Rookie 9, Kohona, the Ninja world, Mavis and than Fairy Tail. 'Because of all of them I could become somebody who could help others instead of falling into darkness.' Naruto thought sombrely as he stared back into the wide eyes of Hisui.
"Naruto-kun… Why do you think Wendy is worth betting on?" Hisui asked seriously as Naruto smiled softly thinking of his past.
"I can't be sure but I have a feeling Wendy will be big in the future and I feel this simple act could help a lot." Naruto tried to explain as he pulled out several bundles of Jewels to hand to Hisui who looked reluctant.
"Naruto I shouldn't accept this… You are already going to be teaching a class and the pay isn't that great…" Hisui said trying to refuse the offered jewels.
Naruto sighed before an idea struck his head. "Ok don't consider this a freebie ok? How about this? In exchange for getting Wendy's fee paid for I get to have her in my class?" Naruto offered as Hisui gave him a bewildered look.
"So you want to pay for this girls class and you want to teach it too?" Hisui asked him as Naruto rubbed his head trying to explain.
"Think of it this way. Paying for Wendy's class is an investment, right? So, by teaching her I can see if
my using jewels for her sake pans out." Naruto commented as Hisui bit her lip before finally accepting the jewels.
"Fine if you want to make a bet be my guest." Hisui said in a puffy voice looking away from Naruto as she signed for Wendy acceptance. Naruto could still hear some admiration making him grin on the inside.
After Hisui put her magic seal on it through a stamp the box containing the applications flashed before they flew off using magic.
Hisui looked at the time and saw it was getting pretty late so she sighed "Sorry Naruto-kun it looks like our time to get to know each other will just have to be dinner. Maybe tomorrow we do something more exciting." Hisui said apologetically as Naruto gave her a weird look.
"Wait didn't you say classes start tomorrow?" Naruto asked.
"Did I?" Hisui said with a thoughtful look before she shook her head. "My mistake. Today is Friday and classes don't start till Monday I guess next school day?" Hisui giggled trying to amend her statement as Naruto chuckled softly.
'Seems like our local princess is just like any girl a heart.' Naruto mused seeing the Regal Princess blush briefly.
"Dinner sounds fine but I just realized I don't p\have a place to stay for the duration of the classes so can you point me to the local hotel?" Naruto asked nervously as Hisui giggled.
"Don't be silly Naruto-kun you are a guest of honour here. Father and I already paid for your stay at a private home near the school!" Hisui assured him as Naruto rubbed his head at the Princess generous offer.
"Geez you don't have to do that ya know? Its not like I am strapped for cash or anything…" Naruto started as Hisui raised a hand making him got silent.
"You didn't need to pay for Wendy's admission either." Hisui reminded him putting her hands on her hips sternly. Naruto chuckled at the sassy Princess as he lifted his hands in surrender.
"Alright your Highness I know when I am beat." Naruto joked as Hisui narrowed her hands.
"Of course, as your future Queen you accept when I give you a gift." Hosui claimed before she laughed at how out of character it was for her.
Naruto and Hisui soon walked out of the school and campus to a secluded area where a few fancy houses were spread out. Hisui walked first bringing out a key before she unlocked the door gesturing for Naruto to enter first.
Naruto walked and whistled in appreciation. Despite it lacking the homey feeling of his place in Magnolia he could easily admit this place was very fancy and a step up from a hotel. He could see a fully operated kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and a living room.
Hisui and Naruto entered the kitchen and Hisui turned to Naruto with an embarrassed look before saying "Naruto-kun are you ok just eating a dessert? I admit I only know how to cook simple desserts."
This actually surprised Naruto as most royals in the Elemental Nations had people cook for them 24/7 so he assumed all nobles were incapable of cooking for themselves. He was pretty pleased to see the pretty Princess be more than a pretty face.
Naruto grinned "It's ok Hisui-chan! I am actually a decent cook myself! Why don't you handle dessert while I cook our supper?" Naruto offered. A part of him wanted to have people over in the Elemental Nations while he realized he greatly enjoyed cooking in this world.
Hisui looked at her for a moment before a smile appeared on her face. "Consider it done." Hisui said as she grabbed some fresh apples, flour, salt, sugar, and some water to prepare her dessert.
Naruto smiled at the happy Princess while he grabbed some rice, vegetables and meat from the fridge to prepare the main course for the two of them.
After several minutes Naruto finished the meal while Hisui was done with the Apple pie and was letting it cool on a nearby table.
"Wow Naruto-kun this smells delicious!" Hisui praised seeing how the meal looked simple but smelled more delicious than the fancy food her cooks at home made for her!
Naruto grinned before he started eating at a polite rate while Hisui took a first bite and her eyes widened in delight.
"Naruto-kun it absolutely amazing!" Hisui praised as she eagerly continued eating while Naruto gave her a modest smile.
"Thanks, Hisi-chan it means a lot!" Naruto told her while he wondered why people thought his cooking was so good while he just thought it was ok.
Inside Naruto's Seal Matatabi grinned and thought to herself 'Silly Naruto-kun. Little do you know a quick way to a woman's heart is through cooking.'.
After an hour with Hisui commenting on his cooking and on several flavours, she never tried they were done supper. Naruto was pleased to see the Princess happy and was pleased to try the dessert
The apple Pie was cooled down but still warm so Hisui sliced it into pieces and quietly watched for Naruto's reaction out of the corner of her eyes.
Naruto took a bite before saying "This is amazing Hisui-chan!".
Hisui eyes lit up as she asked "Really you like it?".
"Like it? I loved it!" Naruto praised as he savoured the warm treat. "I mean it is so warm and sweet and gooey!" Naruto commented as Hisui beamed in happiness. "I mean anyone would find you the perfect wife with sweets like this." Naruto said without thinking as Hisui instantly looked away. Luckily for her Naruto was too immersed in the pie to notice.
Hisui face lit up as she felt her face p in a bright red glow. She placed her hands on her face in embarrassment feeling how hot she felt. 'What's wrong with me? He is just complimenting my cooking… I should not be so embarrassed! I mean calm down!" She chanted to herself trying to calm her racing heart down. Luckily it quickly passed as she returned with a calm but pleased look.
"I am glad you enjoy it Naruto-kun." Hisui said pleasantly as they finished supper on a happy note.
"Hisui-chan are you free tomorrow?" Naruto asked as Hisui rose up to leave.
"Yes, I am but Sunday I need to prepare the school for the students and I need to tell your expectations for being a teacher." She told him with a smile as Naruto sent a grin at her.
"Ok how about you come on tomorrow early and I can cook your breakfast and then we can go someone fun ok?" Naruto offered cheerfully.
Hisui thought for a moment before she nodded "That sounds acceptable Naruto-kun. See you tomorrow." She said as Naruto waved her goodbye.
Naruto quickly got ready for bed after a relaxing shower. He figured being the Princess in charge of the school Hisui must have her own accommodations.
The next morning around 9 Hisui rang Naruto up at his home only to have him answer shirtless to her embarrassment. Naruto apologized and put a shirt on explain it was part of a daily routine he did when he was at home. Hisui accepted his apology as Naruto made breakfast for them.
It was hearty breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast which amazed Hisui.
"You mean to tell me you never had any of this stuff before for breakfast?" Naruto asked in surprise as Hisui nodded her head.
"Growing up I guess I ate different things than most people do." Hisui acknowledged as she happily dug into her pancakes.
Naruto smiled happy to see the relaxed princess getting a new experience.
After the breakfast Naruto asked "So Hisui-chan what is fun to do around here?". Hisui gave a light blush as Naruto quickly noticed a flyer in her hand about a carnival in town.
Naruto could sense the Princess was too proud or at least too embarrassed to admit wanting to go so he decided he would take the pressure off. "Say Hisui-chan I heard a rumour this place has a great carnival in town. Perhaps you can show me how it is today?" Naruto asked non chalently as Hisui looked confused until she realized what was happening.
"Of course, Naruto-kun but I think we stand out too much if we go." Hisui pointed out as Naruto snapped his finger.
When the smoke cleared Hisui saw she was now a blonde with causal jeans and a hoodie instead of her green hair and white dress. Hisui gave him a questioning look before he chuckled "I just used some basic transformation magic and you should call yourself less formal. How about Asia-chan?" Naruto told her as she looked thoughtful.
"Alright. I suppose Asaia would be appropriate. You should change your name too. How about Menma-kun?" Hisui replied as Naruto eye twitched.
"Sure Asia-chan." Naruto said with a grin as he thought it must be a coincidence that Hisui picked a name that went against his own 'ramen' topping name. Her smirk she sent his way implied otherwise. Shortly afterwards they went to the Grand Carnival where luckily nobody recognized 'Aasia' or Menma'.
This meant they could be themselves without people seeing recognizing them. Naruto even changed his hair to blaxk and straight on the off chance somebody would recognize him. Menma and Asasai quickly realized they enjoyed both high and fast rides.
Menma quickly got her a Giant Fox Doll from the Ring Toss event which Asasia gav huge grateful smile in return. Asasia reaction to eating cotton candy was hilarious for Menma and was worth getting the stink eye afterward.
For lunch they decided to stay at the carnival and ate some hot dogs and fries. Menma judged that Asasia never had either of them judging by her reluctance and alter her absolute delight of face after eating them.
Menma could only assume that growing up in royalty Asasia never ate what the obels would call 'common food'.
They enjoyed the rest of the evening playing many more games and winning more prizes most of them Menma gave to Asasia much her embarrassment. Several hous later Asasia and Menma dropped off their prizes at the school and Menma's home while keeping on their disguises.
Asasia decided to treat Menma for the wonderful da by going to a fancy usually reservations only restaurant. Hisui earlier booked an appointment for the two of gave the Maitre D a special note to prove her reservation which Naruto saw and was impressed at the Princess foresight.
Naruto got to experience a world class experience getting smaller portions but many different foods were offered while Hisui merely commented on the spectacular flavour as usual. After the dinner Hisui walked with Naruto back to his home as Naruto simply enjoyed more time with the Princess.
"Naruto-kun I would like to thank you for an amazing day today." Hisui said warmly as Naruto sent her a grin.
"No problem Hisui-chan! I had a lot of fun too! You are pretty fun!" Naruto told her before he felt something collide with him and when he looked down he saw the Princess barrel into him a tight hug.
"Thanks for everything Naruto-kun." Hisui whispered as Naruto instinctively hugged her back. She pulled back after a minute and turned away with a huge blush on her face. "Tomorrow please meet me after 1 so we can discuss what your responsibilities will eb ok?" Hisui told him in rush before she walked off before he could respond.
Hisui quickly ran off out the door before she put a hand on her beating heart. Truth be told she already had a small crush on the older blonde and she could not help giving him her first hug out of appreciation. She admitted he was her first friend she had and she could not help how her heart beat quickly when he smiled or when she got a compliment.
Naruto on the other had a look of confusion and small embarrassment from the unexpected interaction with Hisui. Naruto reflected he dd not get many hugs in the EN besides the one from Sakura for saving the village and one where she tried to lei claiming she loved him. Both times he felt only platonic feelings of kinship looking back.
When he got to Earthland Mavis and him exchanged hugs frequently ad he thought nothing of it. It just felt right especially when he felt Mavis loneliness melt away since only, he could make physical make contact with her Ghost body. Then the rare hugs with Mira which still made him embarrassed but he could admit he greatly enjoyed them especially when he got a whiff of her sweet hair and the feeling of her body against his.
The hug with Hisui was different again but he decided if Hisui did not bring it up tomorrow he would not either.
The next day he decided to sleep in and slept in till 11 before he made himself a quick lunch. He entered the school and walked to Hisui's office .
Hiusi sent him a smile with no trace of yesterday events affecting her which was perfectly fine with Naruto. "Naruto-kun thank you for coming. Here are the expectations. If you have any questions. Feel free to ask." Hisui told him as she handed him a bundle of papers.
"I will make sure to do that Hisui-chan." Naruto told him before he sat down and started skimming through the papers. He summarized in his head 'Seems easy enough: show up by 9 with students expected to come before, class is 9-4 with an hour lunch at 12. The option to choose to eat with students if wanted but not required.' Naruto thought to himself these seemed more than reasonable so far.
'Since this is the first time, I won't be grading them but I will have to do a summary of what they learned and recommendations if I thought this training was worth it. Huh it seems like they do it to me too at the end of the class. Kinda like a peer review thing. There is a free cafeteria but students or staff can choose to bring their own food or go to the nearby restaurants as long as I know. I am responsible for any injuries that happens on school grounds. Sounds easy enough. Huh this is cool. There will be speciality rooms for individual students if requiring more aggressive magics and even a few gym rooms as well!' Naruto thought to himself seeing no problem with any of the rules.
Naruto decided to ask "Hey how many students am I teaching anyway?".
Hisui gave him a mysterious smile before answering "This is considered a prodigious school despite it being a first-time school so the class sizes won't be very big. This is due to the strict selection process and the higher than normal admission costs.".
Naruto thought to himself 'Well she didn't answer my question.'.
Before he could ask "Yes Wendy Marvel has been placed into your class as part of our arrangement and I did not mention you paid for her class." Hisui told him as Naruto sighed in relief.
He wanted his students to have an unbiased opinion of him and not feel indebted to him before the class started.
Naruto feeling bad for the amount of work Hisui still seemed to have to do offered to help out. She was grateful and showed him where his office was and where his classroom was. She showed him the cafeteria. He started after the tour helping her set up banners to welcome the new students and various odd jobs around the school. Hisui in the meanwhile dutifully went through tons of paperwork without a sound.
'Consider how much Tsunade-Baa-chan Complains about paperwork I am pretty shocked Hisui-chan is doing it with such grace. I am glad in some ways I never became Hokage as that seems like torture.' Naruto thought as he watched Hisui slowly but surely go through her giant piles.
By supper time Naruto offered to cook for her but she politely declined saying she was going to get some early rest as she had to be all prepared for the first day of the term. She expected him not to be late with a glare which he just laughed promising her he would be on his best behavior.
The next morning Naruto woke up and went in a casual suit as there nothing in the guidelines about a dress code so figured it would not matter. 'Ok Besides Wendy I wonder who I will get to teach?' Naruto thought to himself entering the school. No matter how much he pestered Hisui she refused to tell him who his students were but she did give him an amused look.
AN2: I know people are going to complain about Wendy admission but I honestly don't think she has a lot of money. It is never brought up but I find it weird Wendy actually could afford to stay at Fairy Hills (which is 100 000 jewels per month when Lucy complains 70 000 is too much for her). Unless she has A LOT saved up from Cait Shelter it would not make sense she would be able to pay (as she is shown mostly going on team jobs with Team Natsu)
AN3: Naruto's NAME is pretty famous but not his face. He has not actually been interviewed yet so people don't recognize him by face. Hisui face and outfit is much more recognizable.
AN3: The next chapter or couple just hang with me ok? The timeline won't be perfect but its not suppose to be. Just remembers this is happening at the same time as the rest of the team going through the play and later Tower of Heaven Arc.
