Chapter 2 - Nobara Kugisaki

[First Day in School...]

Akira sat in his seat next to a brown, almost golden-haired girl, who kept looking and taking glances at him with a wide grin on her face, revealing every single one of her teeth.

'Does she have no shame watching me so openly every single second?' Akira scrunches up his eyes in confusion as he feels the intense gaze of the girl next to him.

Akira was not focused on that at all. 

Instead, Akira was focused on reading the Japanese book in his hand, which the principal had given him since he was a new student and needed to catch up to the rest of the class.

His red eyes suddenly turned into pinpoints at will, and his vision changed.

The world turned grey for a second, and Akira could see through the bodies of everyone in the classroom. 

He could pinpoint every weakness in the body of everyone, and see every movement as if Akira was looking into the actual future by reading the movement of muscles or twitching.

Akira was born like this; ever since he could remember, he could do this on instinct, but by now, he could control it at will.

"Hmm?" 

Nobara, who was watching Akira's side profile, suddenly watched in curiosity as Akira's eyes glowed a light orange colour. She shook her head, thinking it was fake, but the second she opened her eyes, it was gone.

"What was that?... I gotta ask him during break!" Nobara chuckled ot herself mischievously, her hand under the desk pumping in joy as she covered her mouth to hide her laughter.

"Weirdo..." Akira muttered under his breath as he watched Nobara's actions with his eyes. 

Akira shrugged as he returned his attention to the book, reading Japanese characters and words along with their meanings, and he instantly understood how to use them.

Even though he had never gone to school before, his talent, ever since he could remember, was always something that seemed more like a superpower than a mere talent.

For Akira, understanding the book in his hand was like a fish learning to swim underwater. 

It was learning from instinct.

Speaking of instinct, Akira suddenly felt his nape shudder.

Swoosh!

A ball of crumbled paper flew through the air in an arc, its trajectory going towards the back of Akira's head with accuracy.

A few giggles entered Akira's superhuman senses, and the sound of the paper travelling through the air reached his ears. 

With a sigh, Akira let the paper hit the back of his head, not paying any attention to it as he continued reading the book in his hand.

Akira knew if he fucked this chance up, he might need to move to a different place if he wanted to enter a new school.

His mother had to dig some dirt on the principal to have him admitted to this school, and the reason was very simple.

During the time when Akira was 3 years old and was being put up for kindergarten by Chino, he overheard some other mothers muttering and laughing at Chino, saying curses and other thigns about her.

Akira could remember it as if it happened seconds ago...

[4 years back...]

"Okay, Akira, this is the place where you'll spend a very long time, so make sure to make many friends, okay?" Chino, dressed in dirty clothes, placed Akira on the ground, dressed in clean clothes.

"Okay..." Akira looked away from Chino, too embarrassed to be seen in public with her. Seeing this, Chino smiled, a hint of pain and sadness in her pupils before she covered them up with a smirk.

"Good, now get going, or you will be late," Chino pushed Akira slightly, and she watched as Akira walked towards the kindergarten, where a teacher was waiting with a smile.

Suddenly, a few voices started whispering.

"Look at that bitch, disgusting~,"

"The child looks about 3 years old, while the mother looks barely 20... How pitiful,"

"I bet she was a school whore who got knocked up by one of her many lineups ~,"

"Yeah, I've seen many bitches like her, it's always so funny to see what they turn out as, hahaha!"

"..."

Akira's eyes narrowed into two red, cold orbs, his tiny, chubby hands clenched hard enough to crack his joints. His jaws ground against each other, his chin tight.

Chino was already walking away towards the exit, and it coincided that she was walking past those same people talking trash about her.

"Yeah, I was like, how do you have such a cute child when you are a whore? You should've aborted him, at least he wouldn't have a trash whore of a mother like you~," 

One of the mothers said in a louder voice, which Chino heard. The woman was pretending as if she was talking about someone else, but really talking about Chino.

Akira stopped walking, his eyes twitching and his face covered in veins, as he had had enough of those women and their annoying voices.

It definitely wasn't because they were talking about his mother... Never.

"You're the fucking whores here!"

Swoosh!

Chino spun around in shock, watching as an enraged Akira ran towards those women, his tiny fist landing on their knees with enough force to crack them, eliciting pained screams as they all fell to the ground.

[Back to class...]

After that, Akira was not taken to the kindergarten, so Chino had no choice but to let him stay home with her. All while she was working by selling her body to get money for rent and food.

Shaking his head, Akira decided to forget those memories, going back to reading his book while the teacher at the front was lecturing the class about words and their meaning.

"Hehehe! Even though he got those freaky-looking eyes, it seems he's only a crybaby~,"

"Yeah, I bet he is gonna cry to his mama when he goes home~,"

"His mom probably looks like a freak as well~,"

Crack!

The corner of the table that Akira was sitting at cracked under his palm, which Nobara noticed immediately, her eyes widening in shock and excitement.

But since it was class time, she couldn't do anything right now.

[During Break...]

Bang!

Akira watched as a palm slammed into the wall next to his head, three boys surrounding him against the wall. The seemingly leader of the kids grinned at him with a mocking look.

"Hand over your candy money, and maybe I won't tell everyone that you peed your pants~," The kid threatened childishly wiht a wide grin, and Akira sighed, clenching his fist in annoyance.

Just as he was about to swing his fist and knock the kid down a peg, a loud and bold voice interrupted all four of them, coming from behind the boys.

"What the hell do you three think you are doing to my new bestie?!"

Swoosh!

"Super triple Drop kick!"

"WAHHHH!"

Nobara ran at the three from behind with a grin, her speed fast for a child, before jumping in the air and drop-kicking the leader, who had lammed it into his two goons before falling to the ground with a yelp.

"I-It's this female gorilla!"

"O-Oh no!"

"Now scram from this boss and never appear in my sight again, or another drop kick is awaiting you!" Nobara proclaimed proudly, pointing a thumb towards herself.

"B-But we are in the same class..." The leader muttered in pain, causing Nobara to freeze as a crack echoed above her head.

"Tch! Then don't look at Akira or me again! If I catch you, I'll tell everyone about the time you pooped your pants!" Nobara threatened with an evil grin.

"P-Please don't! I will do as you say, Lady Nobara!" The kid immediately blushed as he started tearing up due to Nobara's words.

"Good, now get out of my sight!" 

Nobara finished with a sigh, resting her tiny hands on her hips. The kids scurried to their feet, running back towards the classroom, leaving Nobara and Akira alone.
