6 Makeshift infirmary
Ken- See? I told you this was gonna work...
Kamijo- Well... I'm going through the records... And... We haven't even taken care of 50% of the students...
Ken- The way you put it compels me to feel like we're really close to 50%...
Kamijo- We're at 47%...
Azuma- Well... So... When we reach 50%, we're swapping spots, right?
Ken- Yeah... I've been operating a lot... So... Perhaps it'll be better if you guys did some work too...
Kamijo- It would've been a lot more efficient if we were to divide the students and work at the same time...
Ken- Well... We can't... Because... Only you can determine how damaged someone's insides are...
Kamijo- Wait... You certainly do have a point...
Ken- I always do...
Kamijo- I feel stupid now...
Azuma- Well... Let me start already... Hey Kamijo... Tell me about the student next to me...
Kamijo- Well... He seems to have no problems... He just hurt his head... He is losing a lot of blood though... He seems to have been hurt the least...
Ken- Ah... He was the guy who committed self-harm... Well... If I'd hit him, he'd be in a much poorer state... So... This appears to be the fairer choice... He feels like an interesting new student...
Kamijo- I felt like my mana was getting sucked out when I tried to check him... By the way... Did you guys know? Two level 1s joined our school this year...
Ken- Wait... You mean... Two students among us don't possess an ability?
Kamijo- Yeah... They don't have an ability...
Azuma- You must be joking... Level 1s are rarer than level 0s... How could there be two of them at the same place?
Ken- Well... It isn't unthinkable...
Kamijo- Well... Here is the catch... One of them is rumored to be actually powerful... One of the 12 strongest ability holders in the world... They say they're doing it to hide from the other superpowers out there...
Ken- Well... If I were to be in a disguise, I'd claim to be somewhere in the middle... That way I wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb… I would claim that my ability requires some specific conditions to work so I would be unable to ever show my ability...
Kamijo- Well... Maybe they have some personal reason? Maybe they can't use it?
Azuma- Well... Who do you guess to be the fake?
Kamijo- Well... I don't know that yet... We have to observe them...
Ken- I feel like it'd be that one kid who was glaring at me with murderous intent when I was fighting him but ended up not using an ability... He tried to block my attack with his bare hands though, which would be inconceivable to think of coming from someone rumoured to be one of the strongest in the world...
Kamijo- Well... Who was it---
*Tornado wakes up screaming*
Tornado- I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT!!
Ken- Ah... Seems like the first one to lose her consciousness was the first to gain it back...
Tornado- Wait... You guys are still alive?
Ken- Yeah... Did you really believe that that unusual fire tornado of yours was enough to take out someone like me?
Tornado- You can withstand that?
Ken- Yeah... It wasn't that bad... Actually... It was fun... You are able to challenge me... Of all the first years, you might be the strongest... Get ready to be the center of attention for the rest of your school life... You might even get to become one of the top three after we either pass out or pass away...
Tornado- You're actually strong... It was foolish of me to judge you by your level...
Kamijo- Well... Ken... I had a question...
Ken- You may ask...
Kamijo- Why did you princess carry her and fight? You could've just left her somewhere and fought...
Ken- Well... It makes me seem and feel a thousand times cooler if I can win against the whole school with just my legs... So... You see... It fiddled in my favor...
Tornado- Wait... What did you say?! He---
*Zach wakes up*
Zach- Ugh! My head hurts... Do I have a migraine?! I gotta go to a doctor...
Ken- Well... Seems like someone actually hit his head...
Zach- Ah... I remember now... We all had a battle royale... And... Haisha... He betrayed me... No!! My one and only friend... I felt like he was the only one who understood me... If only it were not for this battle royale, I'd have still thought of him as a friend... But this battle royale let me see his true colours... I'm really angry at this battle royale but I'm really indebted to this battle royale as well...
Ken- You're using the same word too many times... And... That was not a battle royale... It was just your typical 1 vs All fight… I was the only target...
Zach- Wait... You play games?
Ken- Yeah...
Zach- The 1 vs All fights are generally modded ones... Right?
Ken- Yeah...
Zach- Which do you prefer? Single-player or multiplayer?
Ken- Single player...
Zach- Ah... I see... I prefer multiplayer... For most games...
Ken- Imagine a multiplayer otome game...
Zach- That would be terrible...
Ken- Yeah... Imagine playing it with someone like you...
Zach- I'm not that bad at those... I can get a girl if I want to...
Kamijo- What even is a game?!
Ken- Why are you not helping Azuma?
Kamijo- Well... I created a clone to do that...
Ken- You could do that all along?
Kamijo- Yeah...?
Azuma- Well... I'm done... All the students have been taken care of...
Ken- Well... That's nice to hear... I was about to kill Kamijo here...
*The kid who hit his head in the wall wakes up*
??- Ah... Am I alive? Well... This doesn't seem like heaven... So... I'm fine...
Ken- Look who's open-eyed... The guy who knocked himself out just to avoid getting hit by me...
??- Well... As you seem to be here... This might be hell... I felt like I'd reach heaven...
Ken- Ugh... This is not hell...
??- Yeah... I know that... I was just joking...
Ken- Well... May I inquire with you about something?
??- You may...
Ken- Why did you hit your head?
??- Well... I thought that it would be funny... And... I had no chance of winning against you...
Ken- Ah... I see... Why did you want to make it funny? You want to play the role of a jester in this school? Just one wrong step here can spell your doom...
??- Well... You remember me because of it... Like... You beat the whole student body... Do you remember what each person did? No... Right? But you remember me... And even if I died because I did something stupid against someone a thousand times stronger than me, I would never regret it as long as I'm remembered by people... One doesn't truly die till he's forgotten...
Ken- You're an interesting one...
??- I get that a lot... Well... So... The first day of school got me to the infirmary... An awesome start... That wasn't exactly unexpected though... After all, I am a level 1...
Tornado- You are a level 1 but you are in our school? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by stronger people? This school is filled with high-level ability users... You could just go to a school on the outskirts...
??- The way you spoke makes me think I'm not the first level 1 you've seen... Well... To answer your question... I'm afraid... I'm afraid of getting hurt... But... Why should I be afraid of high tiers...? It's just getting beaten... I will be looked down on no matter where I go... So... What's the harm in going to the best school? If I pass from this school... Maybe people will stop looking down on me...
Ken- That's a rather good way to look at it... I used to be the same as you when I was youthful...
??- Well... Let me tell you something... I believe I can get through as long as I get to make some strong friends... It was in middle school... I used to be bullied a lot... But... In the second year, I joined the bullies... By the third year, I was a part of the group which had the power to bully the bullies who bullied me... So... I think I'll be able to be just fine...
Ken- How did you accomplish that?
??- By talking? I've always had my way with words... So... People tend to like me... And I used to help them with strategies and stuff... So...
Ken- Ah... Interesting... So... What compels you to believe that you possess no ability?
??- Well... I have no aura... So...
Ken- Fair enough... What's your name?
??- You may call me Sap... My full name will just make it awkward... I have a rather big name...
Ken- I see...
Sap- Oh well... Are we gonna have classes after this?
Ken- Probably not... The first day of the new first years is going to be in the infirmary...
Sap- Oh well...*Chuckles* Guess that's a good start for a first day...
Tornado- I never thought that the first day would go like this...
Ken- Well... Neither did I...
Sap- You are the root cause of this, you know?
Ken- Do you want me to actually kick you this time?
Sap- You wouldn't... Right...?
Ken- Well... Who knows? *Starts laughing like a villain*
Sap- I don't think I should stay here anymore... Hey Tornado... Let's hang out... We're the same age...
Tornado- Wait... What?! Didn't you see what happened back there?!
Sap- You mean the fire tornado?
Tornado- Yeah...
Sap- That's better than being butchered by Ken... Trust me...
Ken- You are right there...
*Sap pulls Tornado out of the infirmary*
Zach- Did he just sneak a waifu out, right under our noses?
Ken- Why do you even know that-----
Zach- I used to live in Tokyo... So... Yeah... I've had my fair share of Mangas...
Ken- Someone actually draws manga? Wow... I'll have to ask Kazuto about it...
Zach- Why are you addressing yourself in third person?
Ken- Oh... Kazuto is just someone I know with the same name as mine... He is generally knowledgeable about these stuff so I figured I would ask him about it...
Zach- I thought you were losing your mind for a moment there...
Ken- Well... Since there is no more work for me here, I'll retire to the club room...
