Body 'Problems'

I was awake. So, why didn't I open my eyes and start getting ready for school? Because I currently have two girls looming over my near-naked and bandaged body. It's an embarrassing situation, even more so when they were talking like you were asleep.

"Hiratsuka-sensei...don't you think Kurosawa-kun has a lovely body?" Miu's innocent voice echoed around the clinic as her finger continued poking my abs.

I could practically hear the steam coming off of Hiratsuka-sensei's head when she heard the question as well.

"What are you asking, Miu-chan?! And stop poking his body when he's asleep you little pervert!" Miu's poking finger went still when she heard this and I could feel the shaking of her body through it. Hiratsuka-sensei sounded annoyed but I could feel her stare at my body as well.

You're no better than Miu, you big pervert!

Miu's shaking came to a crescendo as she grumpily spoke, "I'm not a pervert! I'm just appreciating a fellow martial artist's body! There's nothing wrong with that!"

Hiratsuka-sensei scoffed, "Yeah, that's what all perverts say, Miu-chan. I'm sure Kurosawa-kun will understand when I tell him when he wakes up, that you were touching him while he slept~!"

Gasping, I heard Miu cover Hiratsuka-sensei's mouth with her hand before shushing her, "Shhh! If you get so loud, you'll wake him up!"

Once again, Hiratsuka-sensei scoffed at what Miu said before removing Miu's hand from her face "Yeah, and then you wouldn't be able to feel him up. I'm definitely telling him this when he wakes up," she seemed to enjoy teasing her cute student and she laughed in a mature way which was incredibly alluring.

Though I felt a wave of bloodlust when I thought of her as mature...scary...

Miu, unaware to any of that, panicked from the sounds I was hearing and hugged Hiratsuka-sensei, "Don't tell him that, sensei! I don't want him to think I'm a pervert!" she whined, presumably with a pout on her beautiful face.

...Damn, I wish I could open my eyes right now. A youthful high school girl with a curvy body, hugging a beautiful MILF-type woman with an even more developed body...Sounds like heaven to me.

Or at least that's what I want waiting for me if I go to Heaven.

But catching me off guard completely was a conniving laugh from Hiratsuka-sensei.

"Ufufufu, Miu-chan, he wouldn't mind. In fact, if you want to stay his 'friend' you need to hook him with your youthful looks before you get too old...Once you get him, he'll be your 'friend' forever!" her voice sounded hollow and I remembered how she was deeply insecure about her age and marital status.

But! I couldn't let it stand that she was trying to corrupt the pure and innocent Miu! That's my job!

Before either of them could continue their...let's just say unique conversation, I sat straight up before opening my eyes and looking at Hiratsuka-sensei.

"Don't corrupt her, Hiratsuka-sensei. That's my job--" I stopped myself before I could speak any further as I realized my inner thoughts came straight out my mouth. Suppressing my embarrassment, I coughed a little before speaking again, "I mean, let's all forget whatever happened here. I need to get dressed, so please leave for a moment."

Keeping a deadpan face, I tried to not make eye contact with Miu, or Hiratsuka-sensei.

Miu went solid before shaking her head stiffly, like a robot. Hiratsuka-sensei just shrugged her shoulders before walking off, not before she took a long look at me.

Seeing her sensei walk off, Miu quickly ran off after her.

Shaking my head at their antics, I finally let my deadpan expression fade away for one filled with embarrassment.

I was letting my emotions get the hold of me because of a weird aura around Miu. I just felt like I could be myself and she'd accept it. It was a nice thing but it led to me getting a bit too comfortable around her.

Haah~ You cute little troublemaker, Miu...One day I'm going to make you mine~

Quickly getting out of bed, I ripped off any bandages on my body before I started getting dressed.

It didn't take long as someone - presumably Miu - had washed and folded my clothes and left them next to my bed. I was now in my school uniform and I was once again ready for school.

Leaving the clinic, I found that I was still in Ryozanpaku, just further back and in the forest, rather than up front near the gate like the Dojo and the Main Building.

Just as I was exiting the door, the scholarly Master Akisame came walking over with Miu and Hiratsuka-sensei in tow. Miu could meet my eyes while Hiratsuka-sensei didn't seem changed by what happened earlier, showing she had some high mental fortitude to embarrassment.

Smiling in greeting to them all, I zoned in on Akisame who had a serious look, "Now I don't think this is just coincidence...so what do you wish to talk about?" though I didn't sound very polite, Akisame didn't seem to mind and just smiled a little before messing with his mustache.

(A/N - https://kenichi.fandom.com/wiki/Akisame_K%C5%8Detsuji <--- That's the link to Akisame's wiki page if you want to know in detail what he looks like.)

"So, you're not just a muscle-bound idiot like that Sakaki, huh? It seems that teaching you would be very fun indeed," stopping himself from talking anymore, he got on to answering my question, "I came to inform you about your body and it's...unique nature. Or rather the abnormality of its nature, and to see if you were aware."

Hearing him, I squinted my eyes before staring him in the eyes, "And why do Furinji-chan and Hiratsuka-sensei have to be here when we talk about it?"

"We can leave if you really want us to, Kurosawa-kun," Hiratsuka's calm voice came before Akisame could answer, but I could feel an edge to her voice, "But as your teacher, I should know if there's something possibly wrong with you."

Her voice had a hint of finality in it as if she'd find out what Akisame knew whether she was here when he told me or not. It was a bit jarring to know she wanted to insert herself into my private matters this much but truthfully? I was just glad she seemed to care.

Holding up my hands in mock-surrender, I smirked at her, "It's fine, Hiratsuka-sensei, there's no need for you to trouble Akisame-sensei; You and Furinji-chan are free to stay," sweatdropping at the weird feeling Hiratsuka was currently giving me, I turned back to Akisame, "Please tell me what you need to tell me, Akisame-sensei."

Nodding, Akisame brought out a few pieces of paper before looking at me, "Kurosawa-san, I've seen many peoples' bodies. Dead ones, alive ones, normal people's, martial artists, and yet, never have I seen one even remotely like yours," he passed me one of the pieces of paper, "This is a list of the multiple unique things to do with your muscles, bones, skin, nerves, and internal organs."

I took the piece of paper and inspected it, the contents were already known to me but I had to pretend I was interested in the paper in front of me.

What was on the paper? That my muscles were incredibly dense due to a weird genetic disorder, my bones were incredibly dense because of the same thing, while my skin was unnaturally tough because of yet another genetic disorder. My muscle mass was so high because of one as well. Pretty much everything that made my body abnormal was to do with my genetics.

And what did this all mean? Well, for one it shouldn't be possible. That many genetic disorders would most likely kill someone, or make them horribly disfigured. If anything, I shouldn't have been able to be conceived with this many genetic abnormalities - there simply wasn't any way my parents would have the necessary genes, recessive or dominant, to contribute to even a fraction of the abnormalities in my body.

Of course, I knew this was because of a wish of my own, but Akisame didn't know this. Hence his confusion at how this was possible.

"So I have a lot of special stuff in my genetics? I know it seems impossible but I'm sure you can do things most people would think are impossible as well, right? It's just a case of me being a genetic freak, I guess," I tried to brush it off with a laugh as I didn't have any real answer he would accept to why my body was like this.

Hearing my answer, Akisame shook his head while Hiratsuka came over and took the paper from my hand. I let her as I didn't really see much point in denying her the information if she was here anyway.

"I would say that you don't seem to understand, Kurosawa-san - That things like this can't happen without it being on purpose," he stepped toward me before looking up at me with a serious gaze, "But I know that you know, so tell me how you are like this, please."

Looking up from the piece of paper, Hiratsuka also looked at me with worried yet curious eyes. Seeing I was being quiet, she decided I needed some more persuading so she opened her mouth to speak.

But before she could I raised my hand to silence her before looking her in the eye.

I saw the worry in her eyes but I just shook my head. Her shoulders deflated at this and before anyone could speak, I let out a sigh before speaking to them.

"Just...Give it a while, okay? I'll tell you when I'm ready. I know about my body's unusual nature, so you don't have to worry about me - I've got it covered,"

Both Akisame and Hiratsuka went quiet when they heard this, while Miu just nodded her head with a determined light in her eye. Though it didn't stop me from seeing the barely hidden worry in her eyes.

Haah~ What is wrong with these overly caring people? Is it because I'm in an Anime world?

God knows why. Probably literally as well.

After a while, both the adults nodded while Akisame passed me the other two pieces of paper before speaking again, "I'll respect your wishes but you need to come for a check-up at my clinic every week from now on. Look at the pieces of paper and you'll know why," he waited for me to look down at them before pointing to one of them and then the other, "That one is from yesterday, right after the fight and is a report on the cells in your body - muscle cells, bone cells, etc, etc. And that one is a report from before you woke up this morning, tell me what's different,"

Looking at the pieces of paper, one thing was apparent to my eyes, and that one thing shocked me thoroughly.

My cells were evolving.

They were getting better, more efficient, doing more with smaller amounts of energy. From the reports, it seemed like my body was a constant battleground, with weaker cells being killed off and absorbed by stronger cells who would go on to thrive or get dissolved by a stronger cell.

It was outlandish and everything in my head told me this shouldn't be happening in my body. But the facts were here in front of me.

I was evolving and becoming better.

But it does beg the question if this is a constant thing or whether it happened because I had my ass kicked by Sakaki.

It also begs the question if my third wish would still come into effect while I was in this world. If my body could continually get better and better, constantly evolving to be a better version of itself; wouldn't that mean I'd someday outgrow this world? Wouldn't it mean my third wish would have to start adding more Anime/Manga worlds to balance things out?

Feeling my head start to pound from this revelation I really had to wonder why I had such an ability even when I didn't wish for it. But, hey, who knows, maybe my mix of genetics had given me this ability. I didn't specify that I didn't want any add-on abilities from my genetics, so it's a possibility.

Passing the two pieces of paper back to Akisame, I let out a sigh before dragging my hand across my face. Looking him in the eye, I weakly smiled, "I think it would indeed be for the best if I come in for a weekly check-up, or whenever I feel something wrong," smiling thankfully and sincerely at him, I continued, "Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Akisame-sensei," after a short bow, I looked over at Miu and Hiratsuka who still looked worried, especially after seeing how I reacted.

"Don't start worrying, you two. I'll be fine, Akisame-sensei will make sure of that, right?" looking toward him, I signaled in my eyes that I needed him to back me up. Which he did, with a curt nod.

Though, looking back around to Hiratsuka and Miu, I could see the two of them glaring at him with 'You better make sure he's okay' written across their faces.

Shaking my head at the two worrywarts in front of me, I wryly smiled before rubbing them both on the head, "Stop making trouble, my brilliant friend and my beautiful teacher, because we need to get to school," taking a moment to think, I looked down at Hiratsuka with a smirk, "Especially you, Hiratsuka-sensei; you don't want to lose your job after all~"

With this, Hiratsuka dashed off, literally disappearing in front of us, not even reacting to me patting her head. Though I did wonder what Class she was in Martial Arts. With the evidence I just saw, I'd say she was Expert Class closing in on Master Class.

Damn, not only is she beautiful but she's really strong as well...Better not mention her age around her then...

A bit down at not seeing my lovely sensei go red from my head pat, I looked to see Miu was apparently going red for the both of them as she lowered her head, trying to hide her blood red face.

I swear I can see steam coming out her ears as well...

Though, as I was looking so closely at her face, I could see the definite happiness on it as well, which in turn made me happy and I rubbed her head a little, as one would do to a cat.

"Mhm~!" not being able to control herself, Miu let out a little moan-like yelp as her face morphed into an expression that made me think of cats.*

(*A/N - This is how I imagine her face at that moment: https://kenichi.fandom.com/wiki/Miu_F%C5%ABrinji?file=Miu_in_cat_mode.jpg#Gallery . It's just unbelievably cute.)

And this little kitty was incredibly beautiful right now.

If it wasn't for me remembering Akisame was here, I would've continued to pat and rub her head, consequences about being late for school be damned.

After saying goodbye to Akisame, I dragged an embarrassed Miu toward the gate but before we could leave, Miu stopped me and ran off saying she'd forgotten something.

Knowing I was already late, I decided to wait for her.

And thank god I did.

"Kurosawa-kun...I-I made this for you seeing as you slept here last night...I hope you don't mind..." her voice trailed off as she put her hands out with a bento in them. Her face was on the same level of redness as it was earlier when I was patting her, but instead of the happiness she had when I was rubbing her head, right now there was only nervousness about whether I'd take it or not.

Though personally, I have no clue why she's so nervous because--

"Of course, I don't mind, Furinji-chan! I'll gratefully savor everything in it," smiling gently at her, I took the bento and once again pat her head, getting similar results as before. After a few minutes, Miu suddenly blasted herself out of her stupor and grabbed my wrist before running off.

Even as she was dragging me, I still took the time to look gently at the girl in front of me who was ever so slowly whittling her way in my heart.

The thoughts of what my Cellular Evolution would bring and the worry at whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing were still in my head but just being in the company of this girl, I was already feeling better.

I was already looking forward to spending more time with her.
