The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel-Chapter 56: PE lesson

(Koro-sensei's pov)

Yuuki-kun returned home, and I flew back to the teacher's office. I sat on the chair and rethought my decision.

Yuuki-kun is a unique child, to say the least. Not only his circumstances but he as a whole. His muscles are like nothing I've seen before, and the same could be said about the rest of his abilities. There is a possibility he was being experimented on like me, but he doesn't possess any tentacles hidden. I checked thoroughly for it when he allowed me to examine his muscles, but thankfully I couldn't find them.

That leaves the possibility of another experiment that happened before or simultaneously as the one I was involved in. There's also a chance that the cause of his physique is something wholly different and, at the same time, unknown. I know that Yuuki-kun is hiding something, or more likely, he isn't telling the whole truth about himself. It's not wrong in itself as even I'm not completely honest with my students either, so expecting them to do that would be hypocritical.

I looked through my notes about Yuuki-kun. Super strength, reflex, and eyesight, control over water, creation of fire, sticky skin but primarily hands and feet, hardening parts of a body, and some kind of aura sensing from what he told me. These are the abilities that I'm aware of, but I can't rule out the possibility of hidden powers. After all, I also didn't show all of my cards from the beginning.

He is a little broken and has many issues underneath all his powers. One of them is obviously his parents. Should I fly to them?

I dismissed this thought.

No, I should first try to help Yuuki-kun. Adding new problems in an attempt to fix the old ones is not a good idea at the moment.

*Sigh*

Yuuki-kun is a lot like me in the past. Not exactly a copy, of course. He seems to have a clear goal in mind but, at the same time, wants to give up his life. He is constantly switching between these two. I could say he is unstable at the moment, so we need to work on this first. I noticed that he was incredibly focused during training, and it helped him not to think about whatever he usually is thinking, but it's only a temporary solution. He also doesn't try to make friends, so I need to change it. Humans are social animals, and even the most isolated ones have some companions, be it another human or other animals.

I then remembered Kayano-kun and Nakamura-kun. They seem to be the closest to him, and they're likely the key to helping him.

Well, Yuuki-kun, be ready to be helped, nurufufufu.

(Ryoto's pov)

Today was the first-day Karasuma conducted a lesson, and we were learning how to fight with knives.

Rio: "Hey, what are these things on your wrists?"

Ryoto: "Something very precious."

Rio: "Can I touch it?"

Ryoto: "No."

Rio: "Eh? Come on!"

Even though I knew she wanted to try and touch it, she didn't, which I appreciated.

Tadaomi: "Less talking, more swinging!!! Swing your knives through eight strikes without hesitation!!! No matter how you stand, don't lose your balance!!!"

Some students were questioning the usefulness of this training as it would be normally impossible to hit Koro-sensei with a knife who, by the way, build a sand Osaka castle in the sandbox.

Karasuma then volunteered Yuma Isogai and Hiroto Maehara to attack him, and if they managed to so much as graze him, we would end class for today.

The two boys tried to strike Karasuma, but they failed spectacularly and ended up on the ground.

I was feeling bored, so I decided to try it as well.

Ryoto: "Karasuma-sensei, can I try this little challenge as well? I learn faster by practice."

He looked at me, trying to determine my motive, at which I smiled.

Tadaomi: "*Sigh* fine."

He took his stance.

Ryoto: "Question, if I graze you, do we still end the class earlier?"

Tadaomi: "...Did you ask for that just to get home earlier?"

Ryoto: "No, of course not... I asked for that to get to the grocery store earlier. The housewives are scary beings."

I shuddered.

Ryoto: "They would do anything to get half-priced products. They just don't play fair. It's a battlefield, and I think one of them had a gun."

Karasuma looked at me as if I was crazy.

Ryoto: "Looking at you, I can tell that you don't believe me. After school, you're going with me."

I took off my shoes and sneakily stepped on one of the knives laying on the ground.

Karasuma raised his eyebrow.

Ryoto: "Don't worry about it. I just am more comfortable without shoes."

I slowly walked up to Karasuma to shake his hand. Before that, I dropped the knife in my hand to show that I was unarmed.

Ryoto: "How about a handshake before we begin?"

Tadaomi: "So you can try something similar to what you did to that thing?"

Ryoto: "You can't blame a guy for trying."

I picked up the knife that I had dropped earlier. It looks like I need to do it the old-fashioned way.

I still walked up to him calmly with my knife down. I also opened my eyes. It was an intimidation tactic. Everyone who faced me at least flinched at the sight of my eyes, and I planned to use this moment to strike. Even though I'm stronger than Karasuma, he has more experience than me. I also need to hold back my strength to not break any bones. Huh, is it how Spider-man feels every time he fights?

To win, I need to grab him, and from there, it will be a breeze.

Karasuma thrust a knife at my face as I was planning, which I avoided thanks to my spider-sense. Wait, if my spider-sense has warned me...

Ryoto: "...Really?"

Karasuma smirked.

Tadaomi: "I didn't say I wouldn't fight back."

Ryoto: "Are you still mad about the bet?"

Karasuma didn't answer me, but I knew that it was at least one of the reasons.

I attempted to grab his hand, but he took it back. I did then a fast round kick, but he redirected my kick. I then threw a knife at him, which he avoided.

Ryoto: "It seems you win. You really are strong, Karasuma-sensei."

I was standing in front of him, and he shook his hand this time."

Tadaomi: "You didn't show much of your ability to use a knife, but you're agile and cunning, which are good assassin's qualities. Your lower body is powerful, and so are your kicks."

Ryoto: "There is only one problem."

Tadaomi: And what is that?"

Ryoto: "You lose."

I pointed down to my foot which was gently touching Karasuma's shoe. He didn't understand, so I took the knife from under my foot. At the sight of a knife, Karasuma's eyes widened, and so did the students who watched the exchange.

Ryoto: "You forgot to say that an assassin needs to have at least one trump card up his sleeve, and I have plenty."

Besides the gathered students, one figure was watching while drinking a juice box.
