Chapter: 22

(AN: Rushed Development my friends.)

Train and train, that is what there routine for now as Karma has comprehended a realization that there were still beings that are stronger than him in this world. He became too confident because he was going stronger at a terrifying rate but it is still not enough as he was just in this world for not even a month yet.

Karma hasn't slept for almost three days already, we'll, sometimes he took a nap with his cute Pokemon but that it. Nonetheless, the gains we're gratifying as all of them are getting powerful at the same time.

Preparing for the fifth day of school, Karma took his phone out as he wanted to get Aika and the others but this time, he doesn't need to worry about transportation.

"Heh, hello there my baby Ferrari."

Before going home yesterday, Karma bought a car right away with the help of mind manipulation from him and Metagross with no question asked from the teller and immediately brought the red Ferrari in about $1.4million.

It can at least fit five people for now but Karma knew he has to buy a bigger one in the future, for now, this is all that matters.

No experience of driving? No need because Karma can easily master it because of his superhuman race and mind. However, Metagross still altered something to the car.

Anyhow, Karma drove the car immediately as the sound of the engine was so satisfying that attracted a lot of attention but as a person who is already used to being surrounded by people, Karma didn't mind about it.

"Twenty minutes, not bad..."

Karma immediately arrived at Aika's house earlier than what he has expected. He gets off from his vehicle and walked towards the doorway, knocking.

"Wait!" An excited voice chimed from inside.

"How can I help-- Karma?!" Aika got surprised as she didn't expect Karma will arrive earlier than what they scheduled. Her hair was still messy, showing that she just woke for a few minutes.

"Dont look at me!" She cried out and was about to cover her face but Karma quickly grabs her hand.

"You don't have too...You look very cute and I like it." His devilishly smile smitten her yet once again as she can only subconsciously nods her head.

Noticed that her daughter was just standing at the door. Aika's mother called out. "Aika, what are you..."

Then, her eyes landed at one of the most famous young artists in Japan. Her mother walked towards them and raise her hand at karma. "Call me Mother-In-law, I'm Aika's mother, Aiko!"

Karma stared at the woman that resembled Aika but a mature at that, she was also young and beautiful to be called a mother.

"Mom!!!" Aika screamed with her cheeks blushing so much. Aika lowered her head, not wishing to see Karma because of what her mother introduced herself.

Aika's mother chuckled and said. "Go get ready for school young lady! Karma, you can sit there on the sofa. My husband is at work, he really wants to meet you." Her mother told Aika to prepare while pointing at the sofa.

Awkwardly nodded his head, Karma listened to Aiko while Aika flees towards the second floor while yelling "I'll be quick!"

Ten minutes later, "So... have you asked my daughter already?" Aiko's voice sounded abruptly serious while serving Karma a coffee, then she sat in front of him.

Sighing, Karma answered "We only met last week, miss Aiko. But I have to admit I like your daughter." Karma truthfully answered.

"Only... Like?" Her mother asked curiously while her chin on her hands, staring keenly at Karma's face.

Karma parted his lips to answer but Aika unexpectedly thwarted them while grabbing Karma's arm.

"Mother, we will now go. Come Karma... Love you, mom."

Aiko watched both of them leaving the house while a motherly smile formed on her lips. She sighed then hummed while resuming cleaning the house as what housewives usually do.

"So, you really brought a car huh..." Aika muttered as she stared at the car. Karma walked towards the door of the car and assisted Aiko to enter. "Thanks, " she appreciates.

Upon entering the car, Karma noticed that Aika was quiet like not what she was used to be, so he asked. "Are you still thinking about what your mother said lately?"

She nodded her head and answered in a faded voice "I heard what you were talking about, you don't have to lie to her, just to make me feel being liked..."

Karma wasnt surprised that she heard about them because he knows Aika was spying at them. Suddenly, Karma unbuckled his seat belt and leaned closer to Aika. She started to get nervous because this was the first time that Karma looks very serious.

Their face was getting closer and closer. Karma parted his lips and answered. "Really... I dont mind dating you Aika. But I dont want to let you think that I was rushing things... But if you dont mind, I will be happy if you agree to date me."

His mind was still thinking about Aika's safety because of his mission but a part of him doesn't want to let this opportunity go or it might be too late. Karma steeled himself by doing his best to protect Aika and making it as a motivation to get stronger faster. Selfish? it might be but it's not wrong to be selfish sometimes.

While gazing solemnly at her eyes, Aika didn't answer anything, and instead, her face was getting nearer to Karma's face, and in a moment, their lips touched and Aika wrapped her arms around his neck.

It was the first kiss to both of them but they still did it without difficulty. No lust involved, but just an intimate kiss that both of them were feeling right now.
