Chapter 164: Seito "Cracks" and Gets Blown Ten Meters High?!
.....
This was yet another breakthrough achieved within those two weeks.
"Little Sun-Moon~" Seito murmured, ruffling the small creature's head.
"Meow~" Sun-Moon narrowed her eyes happily, leaning forward to lick Seito's cheek.
"Have I gotten even more handsome?"
Seito joked with a grin.
Sun-Moon nodded with utmost seriousness. Master is the coolest~
"Alright, time to get up." Seito smiled, dressed quickly, and left his room. However, when he reached the living room, he froze. Kirukiru Amou and Kanade Tachibana were nowhere to be found. He checked the clock.
8:00 AM sharp!
"Crap! I missed the school bus!" Seito smacked his forehead, feeling helpless. After recalling Sun-Moon into his pet ring, he activated Spatial Displacement to close the distance.
Sobu High School Trip Convoy.
Inside the bus for Class 1-D, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the roll call sheet and rubbed her temples. "That brat Seito... overslept again, didn't he?"
Beside her, Sae Chabashira calmly rolled down a window and lit a cigarette. "Most likely."
Shizuka sighed. Didn't Amou and Kanade live with him? Why were they here while Seito was missing? In reality, the two girls hadn't bothered to wake him because they knew that even if he overslept, he could just teleport. They weren't worried at all.
Suddenly!
Vroom! Vroom—!!
The roar of a heavy motorcycle engine erupted from the rear of the convoy. Students from Class 1-E and 1-D scrambled to the windows to look out.
A youth on a heavy, white armored motorcycle was speeding up to join the fleet. He wore a white trench coat that fluttered gallantly in the wind. He looked like a modern-day knight, drawing everyone's gaze.
As he pulled level with the Class 1-E bus, he flipped up his helmet's visor.
"Whoo-hoo! Seito, you finally showed up!"
"Damn, you really know how to make an entrance, riding your own bike!"
The boys of Class 1-E cheered wildly. Seito laughed back at them. "Hey, you idiots, did you miss your daddy?"
The Class 1-E boys shouted in unison, "Yes!!" A second later, they realized what they'd said. "Screw you! You're just taking advantage of us, you bastard!" Iori Kitahara roared.
"Heh heh, good sons! All of you are good sons!" Seito chuckled.
As he was banter-trading with Class 1-E, the students in Class 1-D ahead noticed him too. "It's Seito-kun~!" Maple cried out excitedly. Shizuka and Sae looked back as well. Seeing him on a heavy motorcycle, they simply shook their heads. This student really was a handful.
But then!
BAM! CRASH!
A sports car suddenly swerved out, colliding directly with Seito. To the absolute horror of the watching students, Seito was launched into the air, flying ten meters high before slamming into the pavement.
"Holy crap! He took flight!"
"Who was driving that car?! Speeding in the wrong lane, damn it!"
"Seito's been hit! Stop the bus! Stop!"
The Class 1-E boys went into a frenzy, demanding the driver stop immediately. Up ahead, Class 1-D was equally shell-shocked. Even though Seito loved to mess with them, they genuinely cared for him.
"Driver! Stop the bus!" Kaguya Shinomiya commanded with chilling authority. Shizuka and Sae also ordered an immediate halt.
Screeech—!
The buses ground to a halt. Students from both classes poured out, sprinting toward the crash site.
Lying on the ground, Seito glanced at his totaled motorcycle, his heart bleeding. I just bought this bike! Which idiot was driving like that?!
He was fuming. Physically, he was perfectly fine, but he was currently playing dead for a moment. However, seeing his 300,000-yen investment turned into scrap metal genuinely hurt.
Cough, cough...
A brown-haired young man stumbled out of the sports car. He appeared unscathed, though his car was a wreck. Seeing Seito motionless on the ground, he looked panicked and rushed over to kneel beside him. "U-Um... little brother... are you okay?"
Just then, the Class 1-E boys arrived. Seeing the driver looking so "energetic"
while Seito lay "broken," they didn't waste words. They tackled him and began a coordinated beatdown.
"How the hell do you drive?!"
"Think you're hot stuff because you have a sports car? You were in the wrong lane, you moron!"
"Screw you!!"
They might be goofballs, but they were loyal to a fault.
Meanwhile, the Class 1-D group arrived. Interestingly, the first two to drop to Seito's side weren't Maple or Yukino, but Eriri and Kaguya.
"Seito! Are you okay?!" Eriri cried, pulling his head into her lap, her voice trembling with anxiety.
"Something's wrong," Seito croaked. He meant it! Eriri's lap was... well, a bit flat. Not quite the "recovery pillow" he had envisioned.
"Where does it hurt?" Kaguya asked, her voice forced into a calm, analytical tone as she checked for injuries. The teachers from both classes crowded around, faces pale.
Nearby, Maple, Sally, Yukino, and Amou all watched with twitching lips.
Something's wrong? You?
The only thing wrong is how much you're enjoying the attention.
Yukino stepped forward, looking down at him with an icy, piercing gaze. "Stop pretending."
Hearing that cold voice, Seito gave a light cough. Then, before the bewildered eyes of the crowd, he stood up slowly and stretched, looking completely unharmed.
The Class 1-E boys, still mid-beatdown, froze in shock. But before anyone could react to his miraculous recovery, a
discordant voice rang out from the crowd.
"Brother...?!?"
