Chapter 12 - Affection Points

Today is a rare day. Why is it?

It's because today is the joint class between 2-S and 2-F for the human power measurement.

They were having a physical examination conducted for today's 3rd and 4th period.

The basic height, weight, and sitting height are being measured, and in addition, they're holding an eye test and a hearing test.

In short, this is a health exam and sport test.

"Oooh, I stopped growing, as I thought!" Takuya groaned in frustration.

"Seriously, not even a millimeter...? My growth is already stopped at this age!?" Yōta also groaned and screamed beside Takuya.

"You both should work out like me. See, the hand dynamometer went off the scale." Gakuto flaunted the dynamometer in front of Takuya and Yōta.

"I think it's harder to grow horizontally if you have muscles."

"That's right, you silly musclehead."

"Gah! I only grow 1 mm!" Jun grabs his bald head and head bangs the empty air in front of him.

"Don't mind." Yamato pats the lolicon back in sympathy. "Even if it's a mere 1 mm, at least you still grow."

"Fuhahaha! We've grown 2 centimeters! Do you see that, commoners!? Fuhahaha!" Hideo on the other side is flaunting his result to other students with pride.

"Shimazu! You go measure your sitting height after Aoi." Kojima Umeko, a beautiful woman with red eyes, and maroon hair to her ears, shouts her order.

"Hm." Touma hummed at the result of his sitting height. It's not bad at all.

"Hahaha! Your sitting height's tall too!" Shōichi commented while pointing a finger at Gakuto when he saw the result of his sitting height.

"Shut up!" Gakuto yells, "It's because I'm tall, you idiot!"

"What the hell!? Everything's still the same!? Is this some curse or what!?" In the background you could see Yōta's wallowing in despair. It's because every result of his height measurement, weight, and sitting height tests are average at best.

No change at all after 1 year.

Tadakatsu looks at the hand-held dynamometer in his hand, "Grip strength 78 kg, huh? I thought I would have at least 80."

"That's strong enough, Gen-san. Gakuto's all muscle including his brain." Yamato said as he looks at his dynamometer as well, 63.6 kg.

Tadakatsu simply hums in response before he walks off, and everyone instinctively make a way for him.

"82.1 kg, huh..." Jun mutters under his breath as he writes the result for his grip strength, "What about you, Boss?"

Touma hums and shows his result to Jun, "It's 49.9 kg."

"You should train your muscles more, my friend, Touma!" Hideo chimed in from the side as he also shows his result to his friend, it's 86,9 kg.

Yōta on the other side broke the dynamometer as usual, "Goddammit!"

"Nagakura! Stops destroying the dynamometer!" Umeko shouts at Yōta as she snaps her whips in Yōta's direction.

But Yōta swiftly deflects the whip with the broken dynamometer, changing the whip's trajectory to make it strikes Gakuto viciously from behind.

"YEOUUUUCH!!!"

"I'm sorry, Sensei!!"

"Wow, the sound of the whips was nasty there..." Yamato commented from the side as he looks at Gakuto, who's writhing in pain on the floor right now.

"Are you okay, Gakuto?" Takuya asked as he pokes Gakuto's head with a paper.

"Do I look OKAY to you? ... That's fucking hurt..."

"You're good as usual, Nagakura." Umeko on the other side looks impressed at the skill Yōta just executed back then.

Deflecting a whip strikes is never easy, she knows that very much. Even if someone's trying to deflect or blocks it, if you don't know where to strike, it's meaningless.

Because she can easily change the trajectory of its strike, that's why it's hard to deflect or to block.

Since the edge of the whip will simply strikes you from another direction if you miss the point to strike when you're trying to deflect or block the attack.

"Thank you very much, ma'am!" Yōta said in very enthusiast manner as he bows his body deep to show his respect to the teacher.

"Good reply!" She nods her head in approvement as she pats Yōta's head once, "When it comes to martial arts, you're the most promising male student in second-year. Keep up the good work."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"If you all done measuring, go to the schoolyard." Umeko stared at every students in the room, "The girls are taking their sport test. You'll take their place once they're done."

"Girls are testing right now!?" And just with that, Gakuto who's dying earlier, coming back to life and starts grinning like a pervert before he's rushing fast than anybody else to the schoolyard.

Most of the boys are running after Gakuto with newfound enthusiasm.

"What's going on?" Shōichi asked no one else as he looks at the crowd horny boys running in frenzy, "I don't understand, but I'm going too!!"

"Ah, Kazama! We won't let you! We'll be the one who reached the schoolyard first!" Hideo starts running as well when he saw Kazama passing by.

"Haha! I won't lose!"

"Nonsense!!"

"Man, they're so energetic." Jun commented from the side as he walks together with Touma and Yōta.

"Yes, they are." Touma said as he chuckles in amused manner. Everyone in this school is very funny, especially the boys.

Yōta puts his hands on the back of his head, "They just want to see girls in bloomers, don't they?"

No one can blame the boys for getting excited right now. For a teenagers in Japan, girls in bloomers are some seriously hot shit here.

When they were kid, they never thought anything of them, but now as a guy that's been through puberty, they have to say, girls in bloomers are sexy.

That's why most of the boys head to the schoolyard, where the girls are conducting their sports test, in hurry.

"You guys are slow. What kind of horny guys are you!?" Ikurou shouted to the group behind him who just arrived, "I've been taking lots of photos already!"

"The kind that can properly hold themselves back unlike you, Yonpachi-san." Yōta gave the pervert monkey a flat stare.

"Man, you're a boring man like usual, Nagakura." Ikurou shakes his head in response.

"Well, sorry for being a boring person." Yōta huffs in annoyance.

"But man, the bloomers here are the best. That's the number one reason I entered this school." Ikurou voiced his pervert thought out loud like usual.

Takuya smiles wryly at Ikurou, "You're always talking about sex, Yonpachi."

"Just watch!" Ikurou points a finger to the heaven and grins widely, "I'm going to make bank in the future and go to the sex parlors!"

"You're saying the worst thing in a cool voice." Jun chimed in while deadpanned at Ikurou.

""So true."" Yōta, Yamato, and Takuya said at the same time.

"But the girls in our class and 2-S sure are high-leveled." Ikurou said as he crawls on the ground to take a perfect shot.

"Yeah. Can't denied that." Yōta hummed in agreement as he looks in Kazuko's direction.

"Entry number 1, Kawakami Kazuko." Ikurou suddenly started, "She's a 159 centimeters tall. Her measurements are 77, 54, 79."

Every boys in immediate vicinity starts staring at the girl while hearing Ikurou dictated about the girl's charm point.

"She's not that feminine, but she's cheerful and easy to talk to. She's the athletic type who's fun to be with, so she's popular among guys."

Everyone nods at that.

"... That's what people usually think, but everybody's scared of her owner and older sister, Nagakura Yōta and Kawakami Momoyo, so nobody tries to make a move on her." Ikurou finished as he turns his head to Yōta's direction, everyone also following suit.

Yōta smiles sweetly at the crowd and makes a slit motion through his neck, mouthing 'I'll kill you all if you dare to touch her.'

Every boys in his vicinity starts feeling chills all over their body, they can tell how serious that man is.

"Is Wanko seriously popular?" Gakuto raised his eyebrows in wonder, he's conveniently ignoring Yōta in the background, who's currently threatening most of the boys in both classes, "She's a funny girl, but I don't know if she's good as a woman."

"What do you mean by that? She's clearly good as a woman!! She's cute, energetic, beautiful, hardworker, cute, loyal, diligent, full of confidence, did I forget say cute?"

"Oh shut up, you Wankoism." In response to that, Gakuto simply grumbles in annoyance.

He doesn't want to waste his energy on Yōta right now, because he knows he will lose against this Wankoism if he's trying to argue with him about Kazuko.

It's best to leave him be in this situation.

"Next up is entry number 2, Amakasu Mayo." Ikurou continued introducing girls like nothing's happened, "She's 149 centimeters tall. Her measurements are 74, 52, 73."

The crowd goes 'ooohh' and Jun is entering enlightment mode right now as he's peering on the innocent figure of Mayo.

"She's a hard working class rep, and it's relaxing to talk to her. Because of her size, she's adored by a certain type of people."

Everyone instinctively turn their heads toward Jun, who's currently reading Sutra for some reason.

"She looks like a small animal to me. She's the squirrel type." Gakuto commented from the side.

Yōta hummed at that, "Yeah right. It's always funny how she's trying to fills the role of big sister for you all."

"Next up is entry 3, Shiina Miyako from S Class. She's 155 centimeters tall. Her measurements are 84, 59, 83."

"Oh, her bust and waist are getting bigger than last year." Yōta commented when he heard what Ikurou just said.

The crowd goes 'wow' when they heard the size of her measurements. For a highschooler, that's pretty big.

"She's one of the best-looking girls in second-year, and she actually has quite the rack. But she's too cold and keeps people away. And moreover, she's Nagakura's woman."

The crowd groans in reponse at that statement while man in question simply hums in response, "She's not my woman."

"Not yet, right?" Yamato teased the swordsman from the side and it's Yōta time to groans at that.

"I know, but that's how it looks to everybody." Ikuro said as he snaps a picture of Miyako from the side.

"Fufu, he's right, Yōta." Touma chuckles as he waves his hand towards the girls from 2-F, who's trying to get his attention, "You can't really deny the fact that both of you are so close that it won't be weird if people starts assuming that you guys are couple."

"And entry number 4, Fushikawa Kokoro." Ikurou said as he changes his position to takes a perfect shot of Kokoro, "She's 158 centimeters tall, her measurements are 78, 52, 75. And she's that type of girl who more cute if she doesn't open her mouth. She's pretty much hard to get along with, but even so she's quiet popular in Academy because of her refined appearance."

"That's because you all are very open with your desire, that it puts her off..." Yōta said in deadpanned manner, "If you guys act normally, she won't have any problem at all to talk with you guys. She's a sweet girl, after all."

The crowd averted their eyes and scratch the back of their heads while chuckling nervously, they don't know how to response that statement.

"Well, next we have entry number 5, Oshitari Azumi." Ikurou continued as he looks at the maid with very conflicted expression, "She's also 158 centimeters tall, her measurements are 80, 60, 80. If you want to live long, never ever dare to mention her age. She looks sweet on outside, but very sadistic inside. She's quite popular with certain kind of people who love to get step on by her."

"Ah, right. I can imagine that old—Whoa!" Jun moves his head away in quick manner after he saw something moving fast from his peripheral vision, he then see Azumi is currently glaring dangerously at him, "Kuhum, that sweet and kind woman will look good in dominatrix outfit."

"What a dangerous woman..." Gakuto mutters under his breath.

"Now, we almost reach for our final participant, next is entry number 6, Sakakibara Koyuki." Ikurou grins widely as he suddenly dives onto the ground and snaps a perfect angle of Koyuki when she's jumping in the air, "She's 165 centimeters tall with measurements of 88, 59, 87. She's a girl with biggest rack in second-year, and combined with her funny and energetic personality, she's pretty popular around the guys. Her fairy-like appearance also the biggest reason why people seemingly attracted to her."

The crowd goes wild at that information as they stared openly at the said girl, mostly at her jiggling boobs. They couldn't stopped their noses from bleeding at the sight.

"Fufu, it seems our Yuki is pretty famous." Touma flips his bangs and fixes his glasses elegantly.

Yōta hums in response, "Not surprise there. With looks like that, it won't be weird if she's featured in Fashion Magazine or something like that."

"But then again, she's the type of girl who doesn't care about something like that..." Jun commented wryly from the side.

"Yeah, if not for her crushing on Yōta, I would try my luck with her." Gakuto chimed in as he crosses his arms.

In response to that, Takuya and Yamato pats the musclehead's back, "Even if she doesn't have crush on Yōta, you still don't stand a chance, my friend."

Gakuto growls at both and starts chasing after them while threatening both of them.

"Well, those are the best girls from 2-F and 2-S, but..." Ikurou pauses for a second before shaking his head, "Guys can't make moves on them because of their circumstances and size. So in the end, they all go for her..." He pointed at the girl who's currently running to measure her speed. "Ogasawara Chika."

Most of the crowd starts grinning pervertedly at the sight of said girl's adjusting her bloomers, even Touma whistled at that.

That looks sexy, not gonna lie.

"She's 157 centimeters tall. Her measurements are 82, 60, 81. She's not going out with anyone right now." Ikurou starts panting and huffing at the same times with red face, "She's the number one girl people want to go out with and want to fuck!"

Gakuto beside Ikuro nods his head frantically, having the same expression, "Her pheromones are amazing. I'm sure she's tempting us."

"Oh! Oh!" Ikurou snaps a picture of Chika while leaning forward, "I'm taking a picture of her adjusting her bloomers!"

While most of the guys are staring hard at Chika and undress the said girl with their eyes, Yōta on the other side looks at Kazuko and cheers for her from the side.

Kazuko looks so lively when she's moving around, but she stops in her tracks when she hears familiar voice cheering for her, "Hm? ... Oh! It's Yōkkun! Yay!"

She waves at him excitedly, and her smile's getting bigger when Yōta waves back at her.

"Man, she sure is energetic." Tadakatsu said as he stuffs his hands in the jacket pockets.

"She is." Yōta smiles fondly in Kazuko's direction.

...

"You're always fast, Chika-chan." Mayo commented as she takes the said girl time, "I'm not good at physical activities... I'm no good as a class rep..."

Chika smiles and waves her hand off, "I'm not that smart like you, so I can't lose here."

"Haa, haa, haa..." On the other side, Kazuko is panting in front of Miyako as she looks at the archer with expectation, "What's my time?"

"100 meters in 10.63 seconds. You're getting faster."

"Yay! Yay!" Kazuko jumps excitedly in her place as she hears that, raising her eyes so high and sports a big smile on her face, "Yōkkun! Yōkkun! Did you hear that? I'm getting 1 second faster than last week!"

Yōta circles his mouth with his hands and shouts back, "Yeah! I hear that! Good job! I'm so proud of you!"

Kazuko starts giggling uncontrollably while running in circles, swaying her ponytails excitedly.

Chika and Mayo smiles at the sight, "Nagakura-san and Kazuko-chan are so close like usual."

"She's so in love~"

"Wanko is as fast as always." Kokoro commented as she wipes the sweat on her temple.

Koyuki hums in response, "She is! But I'm still faster~!" She then shows her time to Kokoro, it's 9.24 seconds.

"Muu!" Kazuko pouted when she heard that as she flails her hands childishly, "That's because your leg is stronger than me, Koyuki-chan!"

"She is right, Koyuki. Your leg is your power, there's no way we can win against you in speed." Kokoro takes Kazuko's side and flails her arms together.

The sight was so heartwarming and cute at the same time. Two cute girls' flailing their arms in sync in the front of another cute girl who's giggling at them.

"Wanko." Miyako suddenly called out, "I'm running next, so can you take my time?"

"Sure!" Kazuko nods her head enthusiastically, "But I'm sure you can't beat me!"

Miyako tilts her head and hums, "I don't intend to compete against you. Because I know if we compete in speed, there's no way I can win against you and Koyuki, even Kokoro faster than me."

"Ehh~! You're not fun..."

"Not fun~"

"Don't belittle yourself like that, Miyako." Kokoro said as she comes to Miyako and grabs her hands, "Each has their own weakness and strength. Just like Koyuki and her legs, Kazuko and her Naginata, Me and my throws technique, you have your own strength. You are one of the Five Heavenly Archers, the best archer in the world, after all!"

Looking at the excited smile on Kokoro's face, Miyako couldn't helped but to smile as well, "You're just copying what Yōta said."

Kokoro's face explodes in red as she starts sputtering out in response to that.

Miyako and the others giggles at the sight of the noble girl's trying her hard to make an excuse but still failed in the end.

Kokoro is easy to tease as usual.

...

"Oh the girls are getting along like usual." Shōichi commented as he sits on the ground, looking at the girls' chatting around so animately.

Yōta smiles in response as he waves his hand when Koyuki and Kazuko waves their hands in his direction, "It's very heartwarming scene."

"It is." Yamato nods his head.

"Man, Shiina and Fushikawa are pretty cheerful when they're around you guys." Ikurou chimed in as he looks at the girls' direction too.

"But you know a lot about the girls, huh? You even got their measurements right."

Ikurou puffed his chest in pride, "Of course. Not only do I know their measurements, but I also know their affection points."

"Wait, what!? Are you that type of character who can show the heroines' current affection points toward the MC like in dating game?"

Ikurou simply nods his head in response before he snaps his fingers, "Their affection points toward you are currently like this."

"What is this!? This is a shocking graph I've never seen before!!"

A mysterious graph suddenly appeared mysteriously in front of Yōta, the following affection points of the girls are:

Shiina Miyako: ∞

Kawakami Kazuko: IT'S OVER 9000!

Sakakibara Koyuki: Unlimited Marshmallows.

Fushikawa Kokoro: 90 Points.

Mayuzumi Yukie: 71 Points.

Kawakami Momoyo: 69 Points.

Oshitari Azumi: 69 Points

Amakasu Mayo: 50 Points.

Kojima Umeko: 50 Points.

Ogasawara Chika: 40 Points.

"Of course, Miyako would have infinity mark on her graph." Takuya chuckles.

"Kuh." Gakuto groans as he also looks at the graph from behind, "I hate how you have everything covered."

Yamato whistles in wonder, "That's amazing. I guess you can be trusted to have information on girls."

"Kojima-sensei is at 50? That's quite high." Yōta said as he pinches his chin between his index and thumb.

But still, he doesn't understand why Yonpachi puts their teacher name in this graph, it's not like he's interested in his teacher or have any intention to pursue romantic relationship with her at all.

That is Beard-sensei's territory.

"I love how Yuki's graph is a stamps full of marshmallows." Touma commented from the side.

Jun on the other side is laughing at Kazuko's graph, "And Kawakami's graph is just a parody of Dragon Ball, haha! The numerics are so big too!"

While the others are busy looking at Yōta's graph, Gakuto comes to Ikurou and smiles confidently, "So, what's the affection points toward me like?"

Ikurou hummed at that, "I don't think you need to see it, but it's like this."

Another graph appeared in front of Gakuto, and the following is:

Amakasu Mayo: 70 Points.

Mayuzumi Yukie: 63 Points.

Shiina Miyako: 50 Points.

Kawakami Kazuko: 50 Points.

Kawakami Momoyo: 50 Points.

Sakakibara Koyuki: 50 Points.

Fushikawa Kokoro: 49 Points.

Kojima Umeko: 48 Points.

Ogasawara Chika: 32 Points.

Oshitari Azumi: 19 Points.

"Geh!?" Gakuto stumbles on his feet when he saw the result.

Shōichi leans forward to look at the graph closely and sighs, "They're pretty low. You're too hated by people who aren't your friends."

Gakuto simply sighs in response, "Man, it'd be nice if the transfer student is a hot girl."

"We'll found out tomorrow. Look forward to the results of the bet too."

With the sound of a whips strikes the sand, the male students stands straight and turn their way toward the source.

Umeko smiles slightly and nods at the attention, "Good. We'll now start the sport test! We'll start with the 100 meter dash!"

"All right!" Shōichi raises his hands high, "I'll run like the wind!"

"Nonsense! This king will even surpassed the wind!" Hideo stands proud in front of Shōichi, looking down on him.

Both man who borns as a leader starts staring at each other with intensity before both of them sport a grin on their faces.

"How about a bet, then?"

"Interesting! We're in!"

"Do you mind if I join?" Yōta raised his hand while fixing his glasses with other.

""HELL NO!"" Shōichi and Hideo said at the same time as they narrows their eyes to Yōta.

"Like hell I will agree competing against a monster like you!" Shōichi pointed an accused finger at Yōta.

Hideo nods his head in agreement, "As much as We hate it, Kazama is right, Yōta. When it comes to speed contest, there's no way that we can win against you, only Azumi, Kawakami Momoyo, and Koyuki in her Hyperspeed who could compete with you in speed."

"Exactly! There's no meaning of us betting if you're joining, so sit back and watch your leader, that's an order!"

"Fine..." Yōta raises his hand in defeat. If his leader gives him an order, he'll follow through it.

Seeing that Yōta finally back down, Hideo turns his head to Shōichi, "So, what will be we betting on?"

Shōichi hums thoughtfully before he snaps his fingers, "Let's go with Wazou's Tonkotsu Ramen. Three bowls."

"Fuhaha!" Hideo laughs boisterously in response before he puts his hands on the hips, "We're growing, so We need four bowls. Let's do it!"

"That's the spirit!" Shōichi grins excitedly before he raises one feet, showing his red shoes to people near him, "Look at my craftsman customized shoes!"

"The emphasis of these shoes is on the fit, and it eliminates power loss and suction impact by using high-efficiency hold! And it's possible to kick with great power because of the super resilient material!! So, there's no way I'll lose!!!"

"FUHAHAHA!! How NAÏVE of you, Kazama Shōichi!!" Hideo puffs his chest out in so much pride that he suddenly looks so big in Shōichi's eyes, "Who do you think customized that shoes? It's one of my workers! So, of course I have the same customized-shoes, but more better than yours! Behold this beauty, Kuki Goldie Shoes Mk.2!"

Hideo also shows his glittering golden shoes to everyone to see. These things are seriously made by gold!

"WHAT!?"

"Fuhahaha! Let's see who's the better leader between us, O'my Rival!!!"

"Fine by me!!"

Both of the man starts their stance by crouching with one knee on the ground, looking very confident and determine in finishing the race first.

"READY!!"

They raised their lower body up and straights their hands, focusing all of their power to the legs, ready to make it explodes.

"FIRE!!!"

With the start signal was given, both man clench their toes and dashes forward in burst speed.

The race between of them is so intense as two of them are screaming and shouting while running with all of their might.

The spectators also couldn't helped but to get hype as well.

"Go! Go! Kazama, you got this!"

"Don't lose, Kuki! Show them who's the boss!"

In the end Shōichi is the one who win the race by solid 1 second.

"Haha! That was close! But it's still me who'll always emerge as the winner in the end!" Shōichi sports a big smile on his face while panting out.

"We'll be the winner next time." Hideo growls in response before he goes to the where 2-S is.

"He won." Takuya stated the obvious with a wry smile.

Gakuto smiles and crosses his arms, "He's been invincible in many ways since we were kids."

"That's why he's our leader."

That's right. Kazama Shōichi is always the best in everything. It's like he was born for something great.

That's why everyone admires him and considers him a hero, and it still continues on today.
