As we separated ways, I think back to the experience I went through. The energy coursing through me making me stronger. It felt like I unlocked something.
That feeling remains. My strength and speed all improved greatly. I don't know if I should tell my parents this though.
I decided not to since I was kind of scared, they would call me a freak or some sort of monster.
When I arrived home, I opened the door, but I accidentally broke the knob off. I was still kind of daydreaming.
I panicked when I saw my mother coming. I tried to come up with an explanation of what happened to me.
She came up to me and stared into my eyes. It felt as if she was staring into my soul. I just gave up in the end and decided to tell her what happened.
She called my father to hear what happened and I told them everything. About the situation with Shizuku, how I froze up, and how suddenly, I was filled with energy.
They kept quiet the whole time. They let me finish the story and stared at me. They seem to want to tell me something, but they looked at each other and shook their head saying that they can't let me know yet.
I sat there confused not knowing what they had to tell me. My father looks at me.
Emil – "We want to tell you something, but not right now. You are still too young and may not believe us. So don't ask because in due time we will tell you."
My mother just nods and then hugs me very tightly.
Azami – "Anyway, you did a good job saving that girl. She must have fallen hard for you, my baby. However, I will not let some wench have you."
I just gave her a weary smile. She is too attached to me; not like I don't mind though.
Azami – "However young man, that was too dangerous for you to do. I'm just glad you didn't get hurt. However, regarding this energy, I know what it is. You will have to leave the country for a few years, for us to train you and get used to your newfound strength. You don't really need to though, however, you still need training."
I didn't know it would be this serious, so I simply nod trusting my parents.
As I left, my parents start talking to each other.
Azami – "I wasn't expecting him to awaken in such a peaceful country. I really wanted him to grow up like a normal boy."
Emil – "Well, in the end, he did awaken. All we must do is help him control his newfound strength... well not really control, more like train. You teach him martial arts and I will teach him swordplay.
Azami scoffs.
Azami – "Why would we teach him your pathetic swordplay. He lives in a peaceful country. The only thing he needs is martial arts for him to get his strength under control and to defend himself."
Emil just sighs.
Emil – "That may be true. However, I will still teach him. Who knows what would happen?"
Emil and Azami just sigh.
Emil, Azami – "Yea like getting isekai'd like us…"
…
Ains didn't know what they were talking about since he left.
I started packing up my things. I didn't know how long this trip would take. I honestly hope it doesn't take more than three years.
I then decided to text Hajime about the situation. Obviously, it was just how he had to leave for reasons.
[Ains – "Hajime I have to sad news to tell ya. Due to certain circumstances, I will have to leave the country. I don't know how long this will take though. I honestly hope I will make it back in time for high school."]
[Hajime – "Whaaat… but why do you need to leave. Tell me to see if there is anything I could help you with."]
I sigh. He is honestly a good friend. I really want to tell him what is going on, but I can't. I simply don't know what this strength is and have no idea how it will affect my family if this ever gets out.
[Ains – "You really are a good friend Hajime, however, all I can tell you is that it is for family reasons. Also please don't tell anyone. Just say, that I went to study overseas or something. That I will probably be back by high school.]
[Hajime – "Fine, but just stay safe my friend."]
I sigh as I close my phone. I really wish I could tell him, but I can't.
My mother comes in and sees my sad face. She walks up to me and pulls me into a hug.
Azami – "Don't worry baby. This will only take three years and you will come back just in time for high school."
I nod as I bask in the warmness of her warmth.
Azami – "We will be teaching you martial arts and swordplay. We will travel across the world to meet some students where you can spar with them. This will allow you to have experience with different opponents. Also, don't worry about school. You will be homeschooled."
I nod at her.
Ains – "Okay mom, but who will teach me."
My mother just gives me a smug look.
Azami – "Me of course. Believe it or not, I have my teaching certificate. The only reason I got it was because of you. I wanted to go to school with you and teach you. However, your father stopped me when I threatened the school of a shutdown when they wouldn't allow me to replace the current teacher of your class."
My eyes and lips just twitched trying to digest the information I just heard. I thought, 'This is going to be a long three years.'
*Side story- fourth year of elementary. *
(Teacher POV- Young women)
This will be my first year in teaching and honestly, I am excited to teach. I have always loved teaching even when I was in high school.
I never dated anyone because I wanted to reach my goal of becoming a teacher. Honestly, now that I made it, I feel half fulfilled. On the one side, I made it, on the other side I've never had a boyfriend before, and I think I am too old to find one even though I am twenty-four years old.
As I was getting ready, a kid walks into the class first. As I see the kid, I go into a daze.
I have never seen such a beautiful person before. My cheeks get a bit flushed. I snap out of it as I quickly realize he is just a kid.
All my students walk in, and they begin to introduce themselves. As it was the kid's turn to speak, I go into a daze.
I have never heard such a beautiful voice before. I quickly snap out of it realizing what I did. I quickly ask what sex he is because it is too difficult to find out. He answers a boy. I quickly start fantasizing about me and him.
I quickly berate myself because he is still so young. The days pass as I start to slowly become infatuated with him without realizing it.
One day, as we were taking an exam and I was sitting at the desk. I hear him begin to hum a beautiful melody.
I got a little wet and that is when I realized I might be a shotacon.
