Chapter 32: Root of Origin
*Narrator's POV
At this point Kenichi's first class was over, following as is the usual cliche in the anime, at this point Lala should have been surrounded by a lot of girls and boys who should have been asking her a lot of questions, but for some reason no one dared to approach and the reason was....
Kenichi: "...♥"
Lala: "...♥"
Because of the sweet scene they were watching at this moment, some even felt like vomiting rainbows and those with fragile hearts who longed for a partner were lying on the floor unconscious, at this moment Kenichi was sitting on his seat and Lala was sitting on his lap while hugging him, they just looked at each other in a sweet way, but unconsciously they were expelling a pink atmosphere that left everyone captivated.
Kenichi: "You are so cute Lala~"
Lala: "Kenichi~ You have already told me that many times~"
Kenichi: "That's because you're really cute~... I love you~"
Lala: "Yes~ I love you too."
Kenichi: "I can kiss you~"
Lala: "Of course you can~ You know you can do anything you want~"
Kenichi: "I know, but I still want to hear you say it~"
Lala: "Ok~ I want you to kiss me, Kenichi."
Kenichi / Lala: "Chu~♥"
In fact some of those who were watching all this were already vomiting rainbows and there was no shortage of those who shed tears of blood, even the always nice and mocking Shuu felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something to Kenichi to stop flirting shamelessly in front of them.
Shuu: "U-Um.... Kenichi-san... Could you listen to what I have to say to you."
Lala: "Hehehe~ I'm not making a weird face right".
Kenichi: "I don't know~ Lala's face is always cute so I wouldn't know."
Lala: "Moo~♥"
He was completely ignored, even he couldn't help but freeze, it's the first time in his life he was in a situation like this.
Kenichi: "Besides you don't need to worry, it's just me looking at you right now."
Shuu: "I'm here!"
All: "And so are all of us!!"
But just like when Shuu spoke, everyone was completely ignored, at this moment the only thing that existed in Kenichi's eyes was Lala and likewise Lala only had eyes for Kenichi, Rito who was watching everything from afar even though he was as uncomfortable as the rest was relieved to have changed seats, he couldn't stand having to see this every day.
Kenichi: "I'm feeling like kissing you again."
Lala: "Then do it~ Ah, wait a second. Before that, I want you to ask me in my ear, "Can I kiss you?". I like it when you say that to me quietly."
Completely ignoring the feelings of the third parties who were forced to watch them, they kissed again without a care in the world.
Shuu: "Hey don't ignore me...!!!! I'm going to cry!!!"
Miyamoto: "I don't think this is something as simple as just ignoring you, they're practically ignoring everything around them."
Shuu: "You wretch...!!!! You have the nerve to be so unprotected in front of your archenemy!!!"
Raku: "What archenemy are you talking about!!!?"
Having had enough of being ignored Shuu rushed over with the intention of hitting Kenichi as a joke.
Shuu: "Take this! ORAAAAA!!!"
Shuu: "KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
But out of any kind of logic he couldn't even get within 20cm, the moment his body touched that cute pink atmosphere covering Kenichi and Lala he was sent flying away while screaming like a little girl, it was almost as if he had been pushed back by an invisible force field.
All: "!!!"
If everyone was shocked before now they were even more shocked, and how could they not be if they had just witnessed how someone was sent flying away without even being touched.
Raku: "SHUUUU!!!"
Worried Raku approached Shuu who was lying outside the hall unconscious.
Raku: "He was sent flying just for getting a little close!"
Miyamoto: "A tremendous force field is occurring in the space around the two of them.... It's as if only the two of them are isolated from this world."
Even the always serene and expressionless Miyamoto couldn't keep calm in the face of the situation she was witnessing, though she felt happy when she saw how Shuu was sent flying.
Raku: "So this is the ultimate form of 'a world only for two people' But I thought that was just an urban legend that his used in manga and anime, how is it possible that this is happening in reality?"
Curious Raku also got a little closer, but the instant he did he almost instantly regretted his decision, just like Shuu he was also sent flying without any problem.
Raku: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Onodera: "ICHIJOU-KUN!!!"
Onodera quickly ran to check on Raku, but there was no response, just as Shuu lay unconscious with a stupid grin plastered on his face.
Kenichi: "Hmm... What's wrong with you guys, what are you doing lying on the ground like that? If you guys aren't careful you might get sick!"
Sensing Shuu and Raku's screams, Kenichi finally became aware of his surroundings again, but was completely unaware of what happened while he was kissing Lala, though for some strange reason he felt like everyone was looking at them in surprise.
Kenichi: "Why is everyone looking at us like that, did something weird just happen Kato?"
Kato: "You remember I told you that there were usually couples who would flirt and make out in front of me while completely ignoring my existence."
Kenichi: "Yes, of course I remember, we talked about it just a few weeks ago, why are you saying that now?"
Kato: "..."
Not even Kato was saved from being shocked, Kenichi really wasn't aware that just a few seconds ago he had been doing the same thing, the only thing that comforted her was that at that moment it wasn't just her that was ignored, although she had to admit that she felt somewhat envious, what woman hasn't dreamed of being treated that way, at this moment Lala seemed like a princess out of a fairy tale being pampered with affection by her charming prince.
Lala: "Ah~! So you're Kato~! Kenichi has told me a lot about you~ I hope we can get along~"
Kato: "Y-Yes!"
Kato couldn't help but be captivated by Lala's innocent smile.
Kato: "I hope he didn't say anything bad about me~"
Lala: "Hahaha~ You're funny, it's quite the opposite, Kenichi said you're a precious friend that he feels comfortable to always talk to, but still I wonder why he said you have a low presence, I see you normally~ By the way I can call you Megumi~ I feel more comfortable calling people by their name~"
Kato: "Y-Yes, I don't see the problem."
At Lala's words, Kato couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard Kenichi said that she was a precious friend, plus it made her quite happy that someone other than Kenichi, Onodera and Miyamoto could also notice her existence.
Besides Lala's smile was as bright as the sun. Following Kato's example, Onodera and Miyamoto also approached, although they still felt a bit nervous approaching, but apparently that sweet atmosphere that sent Shuu and Raku flying was gone.
Onodera: "Good morning, Lala-san, my name is Onodera Kosaki, I hope we can get along well from now on."
Miyamoto: "Good morning, I am Miyamoto Ruri, I hope we can get along well."
Hearing their names Lala smiled again while talking animatedly without any worries.
Lala: "Ah~! Then you are Kosaki~! The girl who is in love with one of Kenichi's friends named Raku~ Right?"
Onodera: "AAAAAAAHHH!"
Miyamoto couldn't help but smile as he gave a thumbs up in approval for Lala's accurate words, but unfortunately when he turned around he realized that Raku was still unconscious and that's why he didn't hear anything.
Lala: "I hope we get along well from now on~ Kosaki, Ruri-Chan~"
Everyone who listened to Lala had to admit that there was something in her words that made them happy, it was as if her good mood was contagious, little by little all the girls were approaching to talk to Lala and ask her questions, which were mostly about her relationship with Kenichi, during that time Kenichi decided to leave to give Lala some space.
Momioka: "So Lalacchi~ How far has your relationship with Saruyama progressed?"
Sawada: "Yes~ Yes~ I'm interested to hear that too, a while ago you said that they bathed and slept together~ I want to hear more details, you too right Yukana"
Yukana: "N-No, I'm not particularly interested."
Momioka: "Why are you acting so innocent now Yukacchi?"
Yukana: "Kyaaaa! Hey where are you touching me Risa!"
Seeing Yukana's reaction amused, Momioka launched into shamelessly fondling her breasts in a lewd manner, the boys who were watching curiously were crouched down pressing with out their crotches so as not to have an unfortunate accident, the last time Yukana caught them looking at her with perverted eyes she didn't hesitate to kick them in their family jewels, so they all struggled to avert their gazes.
Lala: "When you mean how far we've come with our relationship, you mean how intimate we are when we're alone, right?"
Haruna: "L-Lala-san! You don't need to answer that kind of question!"
Lala just smiled happily and started telling all the girls everything she did with Kenichi when they were at home together, by the time Kenichi came back he was confused by the blushing look he was getting from all the girls.
*Kenichi's POV*
I decided to leave the classroom to let Lala chat with the girls and get acquainted with the class, of course I'm not at all worried about what might happen between Rito and Lala, she's not the type of girl to be influenced by something like the plot to begin with.
As I walked down the hallway I could hear some conversations.
Girl #1: "Hey have you seen the student who just transferred to class 1-A?"
Girl #2: "Yes I saw her~ Yes I saw her~ Not only is she beautiful, she's also quite stylish!"
Boy #1: "I couldn't hold the urge and ended up taking a picture of her! She said her name is Lala Satalin Deviluke!"
Boy #2: "Oh, does that mean she's not Japanese? Plus she has such an erotic body♥!"
Boy #3: "It's true that she's incredibly beautiful, but from what I heard from rumors she's already dating someone in her own class."
Boy #1: "REALLY!!! Who's the bastard who dared to touch my Lala-chan!!!?"
Boy #3: "From what I heard it's that guy everyone is talking about recently, if I'm not mistaken his name is Saruyama Kenichi.... Besides the rumor also says that they live together under the same roof!"
Boy #2: "WHAT!!! you're telling me that that son of a bitch not only has this beautiful girl as a girlfriend, he also lives together with her!!!!"
Boy #3: "I'm of the same opinion, what do you say we get all the guys in the class together on the way out and beat him up in front of her so she can see how pathetic her boyfriend is!"
Boy #1: "I completely agree-"
How strange, these guys inexplicably fainted after I passed by them, I wonder what happened to them, I even accidentally stepped on the cell phone of the one who took the picture of Lala and I completely destroyed it...
Who am I kidding... That was my Haoshoku, I have to admit that my control over it has grown a lot lately, although I'm still far from being able to apply it to my punches, now I can control how many people I want it to affect.
Now I'm heading to the rooftop with a few objects I borrowed from the class, I want to experiment with the new ability I just received.
*Root of Origin (The Beginning)*
This is one of the most broken rewards I have received so far, it belongs to a girl named Takanashi Sayumi a main heroine of an anime called "Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de". In itself you could say that it is an anime of humor and everyday student life, but unlike other similar anime, the main characters suddenly one day without any reason awaken incredible abilities such as stopping time, controlling the five elements and creating anything using only matter.
The one I just received is one of the most broken abilities among them, basically it allows me to return anything to its point of origin, for example if something breaks I can return it to the point before it was destroyed, and this not only works with objects, it also works with living beings. The name comes from returning something to its roots, like reversing something before a primary action takes place that can alter it, it can even reverse diseases, even severed limbs and shattered bodies, you could say it's an enhanced version of Orihime Inoue's ability from Bleach.
Also at one point in the story, this ability evolved into an enhanced version called Ouroboros Circle that allows it to restore entire areas, instead of just single objects, to their natural state.
Although because Takanashi Sayumi didn't have the chance to experiment much with this ability, I still don't know its limitations, like for example the main character Jurai Andou's ability, it was just a useless black flame that didn't do anything at first it wasn't even warm, but then it evolved and became practically like Itachi's Amaterasu, a black flame that burns everything, but unlike that flame, the protagonist's flame also burned him, when she tried to reverse his power did not work in the flame so they had to resort to cut off his arm to reverse it, that means it must have some limitations, but I do not know what they are.
When I received it I instinctively knew how to use it, and although the description said it was unknown if it could be used to revert someone dead, having the ability I know I can do it, but it also has a limit, it only works with recent deaths, I can not revive someone who has been dead for months or years, although I do not know if the time limit can increase if the ability evolves, but my opinion is quite similar to that of the protagonist Andou regarding that, unless it is a recent death, there are some things that should not be changed... Although I won't deny that for a moment I thought about reviving my parents.
When I got to the rooftop, I made sure to lock the door, and started experimenting by breaking various objects, I just needed to think about what I wanted the damage to be reversed and with a light green glow the damage was reversed as if it had never existed, I even tried using my Devil Slayer magic to freeze something and then destroy it, the result was the same, everything reverted to its point of origin, I even tried breaking my arm and making a deep cut and got the same result, besides everything reverted almost instantly I didn't feel tired or fatigued either.
I have to admit that it is an incredible skill, it is far superior to any healing type skill.
I was about to return to the living room when suddenly my danger sensor was activated.
Something with malicious intentions had just entered the school, I tried to detect it with Kenbunshoku, unlike the other Haki, my performance with this one was quite fast, which was not unusual, I already had other similar skills like Danger Sensor and Instinct, although I still could not predict future actions, I could easily detect the location of any presence and how strong it was.
Although the presence I felt was dark and perverse like that of the Stray Devil's, unlike them I could tell that this presence was much weaker, in fact, I am sure it was as weak as that of a small child, when I remembered only someone came to my mind.
Kenichi: (I see, so Lala's first suitor already arrived, that's why I received this ability, Lala's father already recognized our engagement and already informed all of Lala's suitors, well the suitors are not a big deal, the important ones are the assassins they can hire, so there is no reason for me to take this one so seriously).
After that I went back to class, but I noticed that for some reason all the girls were looking at me with blushing faces, and the more innocent ones even looked away, the only thing that comes to my mind is that maybe Lala said something to them.
Eriri: "O-Hey...! Y-You're a complete immoral beast!"
Kenichi: "..."
Who would have thought that this loser heroine who is completely desperate to receive the protagonist's affection would take the initiative to talk to me, I'm not going to lie I'm kind of interested in her drawing skills and that's why I had planned to talk to her in the future.
Kenichi: "You know, Sawamura-san, I have a very good eyesight".
Eriri: "W-W-What do you mean by that...?!?"
Kenichi: "I'd like to see what you were drawing when you were looking at Lala and me earlier, I want us to check who of the two of us is really the immoral one, from the shape of the drawing I saw you doing, it reminded me quite a bit of a doujinshi artist from a quite famous circle called "Egoistic Lily", if I'm not mistaken her alias was.... Kashiwagi Eri, it must be just a coincidence that it's quite similar to your name."
Eriri: "Th-T-That's..."
With those words and a smile I left while she stood shaking in shock, I have to admit that her current expression was quite cute.
Lala: "Ah~ Kenichi, you're back~ What were you doing?"
Kenichi: "Nothing important, I was just walking around, you were able to get along well with the girls in the class."
Lala: "Yes~ I had a lot of fun talking to all of them~ By the way Kenichi, at the next recess Haruna agreed to give me a tour of the school, do you want to join us? I'm sure if you come with us it will be much more fun."
Kenichi: "Ok, I don't see why not, besides I also get along well with Sairenji".
I decided not to ask Lala about what she talked about with the girls, although I'm sure from her reactions that she talked about our intimacy, you have to know how to respect the girls' space, as long as she doesn't tell the guys I don't see much of a problem.
Kenichi: "What's wrong Kato, why are you looking at me like that?"
Kato: "What are you talking about? I'm looking at you as usual, can't you tell by my expressionless face?"
Kenichi: "Don't play games lady, even though I haven't known you for a long time, I'm pretty sure I already know how to read you completely when you're thinking about something weird."
Kato: "So what am I thinking about right now?"
Kenichi: "You're thinking about how it's possible that my relationship with Lala has escalated so fast to the point that we already do things that married couples would do, right?"
Kato: "..."
His silence told me everything I needed to know, I didn't even need the danger sensor anymore, I'm proud to say that now I can tell what Kato thinks and how he feels just by a look.
After talking a little more with Kato, Kojima Kana, another of the teachers that appeared in the anime "Nande Koko ni Sensei ga" entered the classroom, she is the Japanese teacher, she is a young teacher of 23 years old, nicknamed by all the students as: "Kojima the Demon" due to her fierce temperament.
She is a woman with a rather curvy body, she has fair skin and dark brown hair that is usually tied up at the back with a red hair band, she has amber eyes and like most of the teachers in this school she also had quite large breasts.
Kojima: "Everyone to your seats! Class has just started!"
I think now I understand a little bit why she was nicknamed Kojima the Demon, her way of talking was quite rude, plus if you add her fierce look, which would make any normal guy pee his pants out of fear, it made pretty much sense.... Although well, there were always exceptions, like Lala for example who kept smiling while holding my hand under the table.
After Kojima-sensei's class was over we gathered together with Sairenji.
Haruna: "H-H-Huh!!!? S-Saruyama-kun is also coming with us!"
Kenichi: "Yes, I'm sorry about this Sairenji, Hiratsuka-sensei had also asked me to guide her, I hope you don't mind me accompanying them."
Haruna: "N-No.... N-No problem at all Saruyama-kun."
After that we started to walk calmly while talking quietly, everything was so peaceful, if it wasn't for the intense gaze of the one who was stalking us in the shadows hiding behind that dumpster.
