Chapter 43: That is considered a power up?

~Third POV~

After Ryuko's defeat at the hands of the Two-Star Goku Uniform, she returned to her old home and after some emotional promise, the perverted teacher opens up a trap door leading to a fate that she meets up with Senketsu and thus became the fighting duo.

As soon as the morning was happening in the school Tatsumi, Ruby, and Toga were already dressed out for school with Tatsumi an annoyed expression of attending school again in his second life.

The second they came inside there was a group waiting to ambush them but one good old fashion killing intent towards them from Tatsumi made them back off.

After all, Tatsumi is a killer and gained a foreboding aura around him since killing the Witch Cultist in Re: Zero worlds.

Normal or at least superhuman level people know to back off since they never encountered someone like him before, so it was wise for them to keep their lives.

Thus, came around the time classes start but not before Tatsumi meets up with Uzu and Nonon looking at him a bit surprised since he was supposed to be captured for luring out Ryuko but clearly failed since he was standing in his way.

The chat members seeing this were surprised seeing them so Tatsumi says to Ruby and Toga, "Hey you two go on ahead it looks like these two want to talk to me I'll meet up with you in class later ok?"

Ruby and Toga could only nod in agreement as they went off to their class at a normal pace ignoring the two student members in the council.

But Uzu the wise laid-back person he is soon starts to explain to him about his club as he hands him rules about the mandatory club meeting, "Alright then Tatsumi I Uzu and Nonon here are in charge of taking care of your Anime and Training Club so here are these rules you need to listen by to ensure we don't disband the club got it?"

Tatsumi looking over the papers he remembered in the show where Mako and Ryuko had to do this once as well so he shrugged agreeing to the offer.

The next thing Tatsumi asks in an apologetic voice to them, "Yeah ok thanks for the rules but do you know what happens to the big guy I knocked out I may have hit him too hard when he suddenly surprised me like that made me react accordingly?"

Nonon could only smirk at that since the Toad went ahead and disobeyed Satsuki's orders of punishing him that made her laugh.

Uzu was surprised but explained to him that currently his away for the day getting his face treated but assured him that he will come back later today or tomorrow depending on his feeling.

Tatsumi could only sigh out in relief that he didn't accidentally kill the man.

How else is he going to talk about guys' stuff within the art of metal crafting since he himself is a blacksmith?

With that done with Uzu tries to grab Tatsumi for his punishment with Mako only to be stopped by Tatsumi himself as he says to the both of them in a cold voice with an ominous aura of pressure getting them nervous, "Oh. That punishment with Mako you are trying to pull on me don't bother. You two aren't even strong enough to be able to do that to me so please don't try."

Just like that Tatsumi returned to his class with his normal aura and expression again as Uzu and Nonon just felt that something was very wrong with him.

Even with their Three-Star Goku Uniform, they felt that it wasn't even enough to try but soon they regain their thoughts again as Nonon was the first to speak, "W… what the hell was that?!! What was that ominous feeling he did?"

Uzu regaining his compose didn't realize that he had his hand on his bamboo katana by reflex against Tatsumi as he replies to Nonon with a clear scared but excited smile expressed on his face, "I… I have no idea… but that guy is certainly not normal that is for sure… but I wonder what a guy like him considers as the training for his club... I might see it for myself…"

With that Tatsumi arrived at class and later on the day shows the next scene with a group of students trying to lure out Mako by making her the hostage as Fukuroda tries to get her out with Uzu by his side…

~Tatsumi POV~

Viewing the whole scene from the outside I have to admit it's certainly bizarre that is certain.

Toga seeing the view was enjoying eating the homecooked food I created the same with Ruby as she asked me in a curious voice, "Say Tatsumi what exactly is going to happen next?"

I simply raised my finger to my lip as I made a keeping secret motion as Ruby puff at my response.

But now we are here to the best part from the show the grand 'reveal' of a character power up and I say this is unique.

I mean how many characters out there can use nakedness weaponized a few for sure.

But next, we see Ryuko coming up to the boxer stage as she reveals herself to be wearing something that should get her arrested for indecency in the public area…

…

I'm not complaining about seeing it in life though.

The greatest moment of probably every pervert when this anime was made.

However Ruby and Toga just spat out their food as they were in a single word…

Shocked.

Ryūko's appearance changes further when using [Life Fiber Synchronize] with Senketsu.

Her hair becomes even more feathery and is accented with vibrant red undertones and horn-like clips and Senketsu himself also undergoes a significant change in appearance after Synchronization; his 'eyes' extend into wing-shaped crests jutting out from Ryūko's shoulders and his upper and lower parts transform into a black, skimpy suit of armor with red stripes.

The top section of the armor covers Ryūko's neck, lower-jaw, arms, and upper breasts, and possesses a red, triangular ventilation grill centered on Ryūko's upper back.

The top armor piece is connected to her skirt by three red garter belts/suspenders (two in front, one in back), leaving everything between the underside of her breasts and her waist exposed. Her legs are also covered with thigh-height, high-heeled boots.

Toga seeing this rubs her eyes seeing this world and turn towards me as she asks me in a serious voice, "You can't tell me that is considered a power up? If that is I can't see how this world evloved from apes with clothing..."

I only smirked as I nod my head as Ruby covers my eyes seeing anymore as she says to me in an embarrassed tone, "Tatsumi! You are not allowed to see this…. this… this is filth! At least have the shame to cover your eyes…!"

Shaking my head off of Ruby she couldn't stop this even if she tried after all this is the norm in this world!

To be naked here is to be powerful!

Which I call bullshit on so many levels!

But…

This is the right of mankind of this world!

...

I should question my thoughts right now...

But after that, the fight was showed exactly like the manga while I analyze Ryuko moves close and personal as she uses her newfound strength on the boxer stopping his attack completely leaving Ruby and Toga a bit surprised seeing this.

Ruby was the first to comment about Ryuko's ability to fight, "The way she moves is fast but her technique and straightforward approach to a problem…"

Toga finishes Ruby's sentence also analyzing Ryuko fighting abilities with a frown, "She is relying on brute force too much to be considered a good fighter a brawler or berserker would be her alright."

Yeah…

Ryuko this early on is still pretty reckless as she needs to accept to be shameless to fully achieve her full power.

Next, we see Ryuko finishing up the fight using her scissor blade as it tears apart the uniform and began to absorb it into Senketsu to further increase their power.

Upon seeing the next scene is when Ryuko yells at Satsuki about her father, "Alright! You're going to tell me who the owner of these scissors are! Satsuki Kiryuin!!!"

However, since I know where this is going I better go and help her out since she is about to run out of energy soon.

Before leaving I tell Ruby and Toga that I was about to ditch, "Hey Toga and Ruby I'm gonna ditch class for today and help her out again make sure to keep notes for me ok?"

Ruby just smiles at this as she replies to me in a cheerful tone, "Sure thing ever since coming here I'm experiencing a new level of things especially the environment is odd but at the same time better where I'm from so no worries."

Toga shrugs at me as she says to me with a mischievous smirk, "Alright fine but you better make a good dinner ok? Also, are you going to disclose any info about her or not?"

Now that one…

I'm not exactly sure just yet.

The con is that could pretty much change the plot of the story by a lot if I reveal any spoilers if I did to Ryuko about her past and family history.

But…

A pro in that I get an immediate member if I did reveal to her and invite her to the chat group to help us out more especially if I reveal the fact that I wield magic or show Beatrice.

Since coming to this world, I have seen they have their own copy of the Re: Zero anime here, and with Beatrice will help me out more to convince Ryuko or Satsuki to my side.

Another key fact is that I reveal information that only they should know about to make it easier but a problem with that is if it's too soon they will assume I'm a crazy man.

But without answering Toga my answer I see that Ryuko is already trying to flee and a group of students tried to stop her.

Smirking at this I used my [Authority of Sloth: Unseen Hand] tripping them up in the process as I vanished out of here to Ryuko location to help her out as I managed to get her as she finally passed out on the abandoned set of stairs.

Getting here, I placed her in my arms as I now walked to my apartment room as I say to myself in an optimistic voice, "Well then Ryuko it seems like you like to drag out fights but should be careful next time. Better take you to my place for the time being much better than being on the streets dressed like that."

With that, I took her to my place to get ready to make dinner for the day as I play the house chief in the kitchen.

But I wonder how this will affect the plot now that I took Ryuko away from meeting Mako's parents…

Hmm…

Nah.

Not much different since she can still visit but now the next thing to do is help her out when the time is right for Nui Harime but her mother on the other hand...

Suddenly I couldn't control my blood lust and killing intent before I reign myself in calming myself again thinking of that vile woman.

But I for one can't wait to get my hands on Ragyo Kiryuin myself if I remember correctly, she is an abusive mother and sexually abuses her daughter Satsuki throughout her life…

If there is one thing, I can't stand is god damn people like her sexually after her own daughter and throwing away Ryuko as a baby like she was trash.

People that throw away a life that easily with no concern of consequences are my natural enemy…

I think someone should give that woman a big old fashion reality check that Life Fibers are not that very strong, to begin with and the pecking order.

Even these Life Fibers have a natural predator or weakness.

Smiling innocently on the outside I was bloody furious on the inside but calming myself down I had to think to myself.

Would these Life Fibers be strong enough to survive a black hole or the [Black Flames] of the Re: Zero world magic burning away.

I guess time can only answer me that.
