Chapter 195 ( Gachimuchi Syndrome )

Cloud and Asuna were walking alone after the meeting ended because the girl said she wanted to talk something with him.

Kyōka tried to go with them but was stopped by the girls in their group with the excuse that they had something important to talk about.

Rino decided to leave right away because she had a lot of things to think about while Ayane retreated together with her girls because they had to go train.

"First we will go to Shizuka-chan and Chifuyu-can so we can ask them to investigate if there is any disease capable of making the body mutate to superhuman levels" - Cloud said while looking at the black-haired girl - "After that, we will continue".

"As you command, Cloud-sama" - said Asuna while nodding firmly.

". . ." - Ren was silent as she shook her head as she watched her younger sister walk away alone - "This was what I was afraid of..."

The silver-haired girl sighed regretfully - "The point of the [Hagen Convention] was that Rhino wouldn't end up alone like I did before Meru challenged me..."

Ren quickly shook her head as she realized that the whole plan she would have created, had gone to shit because of her younger sister's manner - "I guess I'm going to have to talk to her like Cloud Strife said..."

The young woman disappeared from the spot without seeing that Rino had turned around to look in the direction she had been before.

"Strange... I swore someone was watching me from that spot..." - muttered the second year girl as she shook her head as she realized it was just her own assumptions - "I guess the recent events have caused me to be on my toes all the time..."

Rino quickly left the place-bound for her home base so she could listen to her subordinates' report - "I hope Megu managed to make contact with Rintarō-san..."

* * * * *

"That's strange but at the same time, interesting guess, Cloud" - Chifuyu said as she pondered over the words Ayane had said at the Dragon meet.

"I know and it has merit" - replied the blond boy - "Remember that Rintarō-san has a disease that causes cardiac arrest when he gets too excited."

"Hmm... I'd have to investigate thoroughly to find an answer, though I don't think it's so... oh, I found something..." - Shizuka said in surprise because she never thought it would be that easy. She expected the disease to be one so rare that the information would be hard to find but the moment she searched over the possibilities, at least 5 diseases popped up on the screen.

"Huh?" - both Cloud and the others didn't know how to react to the news.

"What did you find?" - Cloud asked in surprise.

"Hmm... let's see... first, there are 5 possible diseases" - said Shizuka as she started reading curiously because these diseases were unique to this world, which was strange for her coming from a practically 'common' world - "One is a product of an allergy towards steroids, this causes the body to expand involuntarily and this disease remains even when the steroids have left the system..."

"Any side effects?" - Asuna asked to see if they could find any relation to Ryōko's attack.

"It says impotence..." - replied the blonde nurse.

"I don't think it's that one" - said Cloud as the girls nodded.

"Let's see... the second one is a disease that consists of increasing muscle mass when the affected person is doused with ice water" - said Shizuka while tilting her head.

"That sounds familiar but I don't think it's that disease either since Cloud found no traces of water or any other liquid at the site" - said Chifuyu while shaking her head.

"The third one is a mutation of the first one" - said the blonde nurse - "It is a reaction to the consumption of a certain food or product that causes the affected person to go into a state of total uncontrol, destroying their surroundings."

"It's not that one either" - said Asuna as she shook her head - "The surroundings of the attack were in perfect condition"

"Uh... this is getting rough..." - the sexy blonde nurse just puffed out her cheeks in annoyance as she looked at the next disease - "The fourth one consists of the affected person going into a state of rage that causes their muscles to expand and cause unchecked destruction"

"Neither" - Cloud and the others replied.

"I guess that leaves us with the last one" - Cloud said as he prayed that that was the correct one because if not, then no the attacker would not be someone sick.

"The last one is the strongest of the 4.... it's a mutation of the previous one but instead of being a state of rage, it's one of excitement" - said Shizuka with a frown - "It's called Gachimuchi Syndrome and as I said before, it only happens when the affected person gets excited... there have only been two cases of this disease in the world because it's too rare.... the first one happened 10 years ago and the affected person caused great destruction during one of the school trips because the caretakers by mistake booked a mixed bathroom... I don't think it is necessary to say how things ended, as, for the second patient affected by this disease, there is no information about him."

". . ." - the girls were silent because they felt a kind of Deja vu.

"Chifuyu-san... I would like you to call Rintarō-san..." - Cloud said as he watched the woman retreating, only to look at his beloved blonde nurse again - "Shizuka-chan.... what kind of side effect does that disease have?"

"Let's see... the affected person goes into a state of arousal that makes his mind go completely blank" - Shizuka said as she read the information - "It says that the affected person starts to be ruled by his instincts and attacks whatever has aroused him... in extreme cases, the affected person can..."

"You don't have to say more, we understand what you're trying to say" - Cloud said calmly as he smiled at the blonde - "We have a possible motive... although we don't have clear evidence to be sure this is the motive it's better than going in blind."

* * * * *

". . ." - Rintarō frowned as he felt like he was once again being followed from the shadows, something that was starting to become common - "I think this is becoming some sort of joke..."

Rintarō slowly looked back to identify the person following him without noticing a boy approaching his location with his gaze down.

". . ." - Rintarō slowly looked forward again, only to be surprised to see how a boy was just a few inches away - "Watch out!"

"Huh?" - the boy reacted when he heard another boy's voice, so he stopped his steps dead in his tracks.

". . ." - Rintarō glanced at his confused companion, only to notice that it was a boy with a slender appearance, tousled black hair, and framed glasses - "You should be more careful when walking in the halls, buddy."

"I'm sorry... it's just that I can't look straight ahead" - said the boy with glasses while shaking his head.

"Why?" - Rintarō asked with surprise - "Do you have a vision problem, by any chance?"

"No... it's just that... ugh... it's a bit embarrassing to say..." - sighed the bespectacled boy as he shook his head.

"Relax, it can't be as bad as mine" - said Rintarō as he let out a small laugh.

". . ." - the bespectacled boy was silent for a few seconds as he fought to try to talk about his situation but after a moment's thought, he decided it would be a good idea to release a little of what was inside him - "The truth is, I'm not good with girls..."

"Why did you come to Nangokuren?" - Rintarō asked in surprise.

"You'll laugh at this but I came to Nangokuren because I thought it was a boys' High School because of the name" - said the boy with glasses with embarrassment.

"I understand you!" - Rintarō exclaimed excitedly - "I went through the same thing too!"

"Really!" - exclaimed the boy with glasses as he looked up excitedly. He never thought he would find someone in the same situation, not like the boys he had met before. They had all come to Nangokuren for one clear reason, to get a 'Harem' because according to them the girls would be excited to have boys.

"Yes" - nodded Rintarō - "When I first came to Nangokuren, I almost had a heart attack when I heard that 99% of the students were female..."

"I understand you... I went to the teacher's office to ask for a change of School but they said it was impossible..." - sighed the boy with glasses.

"I know..." - Rintarō complained while shaking his head.

"Though, strangely, you went through something like me.." - Said the messy-haired boy.

"W-Well... this might sound a bit strange but when I came to Nangokuren I had a rare disease..." - Rintarō sighed.

"!" - the bespectacled boy opened his eyes in surprise because he couldn't believe how similar the two of them were - "Really?"

"Yes... you see, my disease was called Hentai Syndrome... a disease that made when I got excited, my heart would start beating so hard that it could cause me to go into cardiac arrest" - sighed Rintarō as he shook his head - "But thanks to the help of one of my friends, I was able to be cured"
