"Enjoying yourself, Perry-sensei?" that brunet inquired as he walked towards the figure seated on the field, a gentle breeze brushed past them both.The said figure grinned in response, "Yep, as always~"With a stem of dandelion tucked behind his ear for some reason, Perry patted the ground next to him, inviting the home economic teacher to sit with him. The two were relaxing, and there was even this peaceful aura around the mutant."I was wondering why the kiddos were getting more energetic in the middle of their routine, well now I know why~" Heath chuckled as he glanced at the homeroom teacher while laying down a picnic carpet before lowering the basket he brought along."It's so hard to be such a motivational figure," Perry playfully complained.Heath shook his head, bemused, then took his seat. "I'm not even going to dispute that. The students adore you."To which, Perry replied with mirrored grace, "I can say the same with you, Heath-kun." That homeroom teacher was sincere howe
"Should we… be worried that those two are hitting it off this well?" Jitsuo sweatdropped. He was among the few students demoted to this class rank due to a drastic decline in his scores rather than bad behavior, just like some of his peers. By now, no one is even paying attention to the gym class or Lillian anymore, including Lia, who replied to their class rep with glee, "I don't know, man. But I'm preparing myself for something to happen." She was bemused by the sight of their Heath-sensei aggressively shoving the remaining contents of the food basket into their mutagenic Homeroom teacher's mouth. “Honestly, I’m not even sure what we’re witnessing right now, but shouldn't we interfere?” Zane sweatdropped at the rapid pace of their teachers’ bizarre and fast interactions. To him, observing these two felt like watching the personification of his last two brain cells at 2 am, counting down the hours to an exam. He found it both hilarious and concerning how, in one moment, the two a
"Hey, you," calling out the dazed brunet, Henko waved his hand in front of Heath’s line of view to gain the younger’s attention since calling his name doesn’t seem to be so effective anymore, “you okay, dude?” “ah, yes? Sorry, you were saying?” Lips pursed into a line, Henko was clearly unimpressed with his masking, “Is there something the matter, Heath? You've been so distracted since dinner time.” And it’s morning now. A brand new day, yet his cousin looked like he hadn’t even had a wink of rest. Much to his dismay, his intuition was right. Ah, sorry, it’s nothing much. There’s just something on my mind.” Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, Heath offers another smile in hope it’ll make the other less worried. However, unfazed by any of that, Henko, who has seen the exhausted look that the other slips up a moment ago, poked him with another question, “Nothing serious, but consuming your waking hours?” He made a face at Heath, eyes staring straight at the pair of brown, sho
As soon as he reached the school ground, he noticed that only Perry was in the teacher room. The mutant was comically writing in his planner, like he usually does during his morning routine, when Heath greeted him before heading to class. A yawn escaped his lips as he made his way through the creaky hallway. "Damn, I'm tired," he thought. He knew that Henko had been pointing this out during breakfast, but by then, his mind was still running a mile away. Meanwhile, despite the buzzing alarm in his head, nothing seemed out of the ordinary right now. So, whatever his Enhanced Insight was trying to warn him about, it likely wouldn't happen yet. Probably somewhere around noon, or at the earliest, when his two other coworkers arrived at the school. According to Perry, they would arrive in three hours or so because they had a meeting with the chairman first. "Honestly, the fact that the chairman is agreeing to any of this is—" he paused, searching for the right word. "Sick? Icky?" Well, at
"Sensei, are you okay?" A different voice chimed in, snapping him out of grief as he saw Lia and the two other students behind her, who earlier volunteered to help him clean up. "Hmm? Why yes, Lia-chan. A thought just crossed my mind, that's all," he smiled. "Really? You were so distracted, though," she dragged on, obviously curious but not wanting to make the other uncomfortable. "You can share with us so it wouldn't bother you too much, Heath-sensei," Zane added, looking just as concerned, in which the brunet smiled. 'They're such nice children indeed.' He can’t believe that there are adults with high power out there who dares to taint these children’s innocence just to keep their own hands clean. "Well, It might be a bit disturbing, but since you're asking so kindly~" Heath decided to humor them a bit. "What do you think of Perry-sensei as sushi?" The three students were dumbstruck while the redhead, who was standing behind all of them. "Probably doesn't taste as good as real
An astonished expression could be seen in the gleam of the other male's eyes. However, it was not long later that he cleared his throat, “Hmm, that’s good for you.” He then followed up immediately with the formal introduction of the new recruit, cutting short the brief slip of emotion on his face. “Well, Sagara-san, let me introduce you to Mister Orion Conman.” He said, gesturing at the youngest in the room, “He’s been recruited to assist the students’ study from a letter of recommendation from someone,” The man explained vaguely while Orion, just like yesterday, reached his hand out to shake Heath’s hand. “I’ll be in your care, Sagara-san~!” a silly grin adorned his face as Heath took his hand and shook it. Putting aside Orion’s demeanor, Heath noticed that Lillian was giving him a stare from where she stood, not so far behind the young man. ‘I guess they wanted me to keep quiet about yesterday.’ He gave a nod, both to answer the greeting and to the secret agent. Then again, befor
"Sagara Heath, quite a weirdo, ain’t he?" Orion remarked as he found himself alone with Lillian in the teacher's lounge. 'Well, I mean, he's not bad, just rather peculiar than your everyday folks.' She ponders before deciding to say something less bold, for she couldn't exactly agreeing with that statement despite feeling the same. "Yeah, He's really not a bad guy, just a bit more on the eccentric side," the ravenette responded, choosing a milder statement. Despite feeling similarly, she refrained from fully agreeing. Eccentricity suits the brunet, evident in his bold fashion choices—different colored undershirts daily and now, hair accessories with feathers and a bracelet adorned with various charms. "I see," Orion hummed, "Well, anyway. I had prepared various approaches for the target," he reported nonchalantly, lighting up another cigar. "I never thought seduction would work. Seems like that punk is also a peculiar one, but hey, what works ain’t stupid." “Hmm hmm,” Lillian glanc
Perry took his leave as soon as the bell rang, stating that he heard someone using the coffee machine and wanted some for himself. The next class was Orion’s anyway, so he left the students in the right person's care. "Er... Orion-sensei?" Nia called out after their new teacher failed to touch, let alone finish off their target. It was embarrassing that he missed his target, but he blamed the fact that he hadn't been given any gun and was armed only with a flimsy special dagger, his least favorite weapon. Either way, the mentioned man was too aggravated to acknowledge the call as he put the dagger back into its sheath. On the other hand, Nia, who kept getting ignored, was also starting to get annoyed. Thankfully, before she could explode on their new teacher, their class rep, Jitsuo, stepped in. "Class is starting. Shouldn't we go back in?" "Class?" he replied coldly, "Oh, right." Lighting up another cigar, he didn't even spare a glance as he said, "Just make it study hall or somet
