Chapter 37: Taki-sensei Might Be A Pervert

Yuki opened the door to Taki-sensei's office and walked in. The office looked very ordinary to Yuki but he felt there was something dark going on in the office. Although this wasn't the first time Yuki had come to this office, the last time he was he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.

Like any other office there was a desk and two chairs placed on opposite sides of it, there was a brown bookshelf to the right and a couch to the left.

Yuki walked towards the shelf to take a look at Taki-sensei's choice in books. His jaw dropped when he saw the type of books she read. There were shounen novels, but what shocked Yuki the most were the 18+ harem mangas. 

"I knew there was something dark going on here." Yuki was about to pick up one of the mangas but decided not to. He feared that if he opened it he would become a pervert. 'Taki-sensei might be a pervert.' That was one of the thoughts that popped into Yuki's head.

He then decided to sit down on the couch and wait for Taki-sensei. After a few minutes, Taki-sensei walked in her office and found Yuki sleeping on her couch.

"Kinatarou-kun." She called as she tried to wake him up.

"Huh?" Yuki got up from the couch and yawned while stretching.

"Kinatarou-kun, please sit down." Yuki proceeded to sit next to the desk while Taki-sensei sat across him.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Taki-sensei asked.

"I don't. Why are you asking me? Did you forget the reason why you called me here?" Yuki spoke while scratching the side of his eyebrow.

"Well, I called you here because you were late." Taki-sensei said with a serious tone. "You were absent for a while and now you are not being punctual."

"I seriously came late by accident." Yuki tried to defend himself. "I'm sorry it won't happen again."

"I'm the only person to enter your office, right?" Yuki asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked with a confused expression on her face.

"If people regularly came into your office then you would consider hiding those eighteen plus harem mangas on your shelf." Yuki pointed at the shelf.

Taki-sensei's face instantly turned red. "Those aren't mine." She tried to defend herself.

Yuki got up and picked up one of the mangas. "Then why is your name on it?"

"I'm a big fan of anime and I just wanted to try something new." She spoke in a low voice and a flushed face.

"Of course you did."

"Please don't tell anyone." She requested.

"I won't." Yuki pit the manga down and walked up to the table. "But first you have to do something for me."

She knew this was coming, to her every teenage boy wanted to be with a beautiful woman. Her impression of teenage boys had been painted by harem novels, she thought every teenage boy was a pervert. 

'He's going to ask me to do something stupid, he probably wants me to do something perverted.' Various thoughts were running through Taki-sensei's mind.

"Could you please lend me this shounen novel?" Yuki picked a novel from her shelf and asked.

"Huh?" 

"This novel. Can I have it?" Yuki asked again.

Taki-sensei took a closer look at the novel and read it's title in her mind. 'I Became The Strongest Being In A World Of Vampires.'

"Sure, you can have it." Taki-sensei wasn't sure whether she should feel happy that Yuki preferred a book over her.

"Thank you." Yuki said and was about to leave.

"Kinatarou-kun." Taki-sensei called out to him.

"What is it?"

"Just... Don't be late next time." She instructed while pushing her hair backwards.

"Hai." Yuki flashed her a perfect smile and walked out.

Taki-sensei was shocked by his smile. She knew Yuki was very handsome but she didn't notice it that much until now. His good looks had mesmerized her.

"I wonder what kind of girl he likes?" Taki-sensei wondered out loud while placing her chin on her hands.

Yuki later met up with Derek, Tamiko and Yukari. The moment he saw Yukari he pulled her cheeks.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" He asked while pulling her cheeks.

"Onii-san! It's not my fault!" Yukari pleaded. "I tried waking you up but you just didn't!"

Yukari had really tried to wake him up but he was like a corpse.

"Yuki." Tamiko interrupted them.

"Tamiko." Yuki answered by calling her name.

"I'm sorry." She looked down at her feet and apologized for what she had said previously. "I didn't think before I opened my mouth."

"Stop talking." Yuki ordered.

"Huh?" Tamiko kept quiet.

Derek and Yukari watched the entire scene unfold.

"Miko-chan, you and I are friends. I know you made a mistake with your words and you didn't mean it, I wouldn't get angry at you because of something sooo little." Yuki put his arm around Yukari's shoulder. "You mean alot to me." 

Yuki's last sentence hit Tamiko incredibly hard, her face turned bright red. Although what Yuki meant was a bit misunderstand by Tamiko. Her cheeks were getting hot and her heart began to beat faster.

"Y... You mean alot to me too." Tamiko said in a shy tone, she didn't even look at Yuki when she spoke.

Yuki smiled at what she said. Although Yuki was only speaking in terms of friendship but Tamiko completely misunderstood it.

"You two seem like a cute couple." Captain Sora spoke while walking towards Yuki and Tamiko.

Yukari and Derek who stood on the sidelines and watched Yuki and Tamiko in silence. Yukari felt a bit jealous while Derek thought they looked good together.

"Are you guys in a relationship?" Captain Sora asked.

"Yes." Yuki answered, Tamiko and everyone else was shocked. "Our relationship is a friendship." Yuki added.

Yukari sighed in relief while Tamiko felt a bit disappointed. Yuki removed his arm from Tamiko's shoulder and looked around. 

"Are you looking for something?" Tamiko asked.

"No."

Captain Sora suddenly grabbed Yuki's collar.

"What are you doing?" Yuki asked.

"I'm capturing you. If you don't want to join the martial arts club then I'll force you." She spoke while dragging Yuki away from the group.

"Isn't this illegal?"

"Not for me." Captain Sora answered with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Help me guys! I'm being kidnapped!" Yuki yelled while being dragged away in the halls. He attracted the attention of many students.

"Should we help?" Tamiko asked Derek and Yukari.

"Just act like you don't know them." Derek answered while walking away. Yukari and Tamiko followed behind him.

Yukari and Tamiko weren't really interested in seeing what Captain Sora was going to do with Yuki, so they decided to just follow Derek.

Derek was much stronger than Tamiko. He was just as strong as Yukari, but he didn't show it unless he was in a fight. Other than Haruki, Yukari, Sophia's dad and Satoshi, Derek was the strongest person Yuki knew.

Meanwhile at the martial arts club. 

Yuki was standing on the sidelines while Captain Sora was sparring with a bald guy. This was the same bald guy Yuki knocked out with one punch. While Captain Sora was sparring with him they didn't make use of their kizo, instead they used their fists.

After Captain Sora landed a few punches the bald guy gave up and walked out of the mat. He happened to pass by Yuki on his way out.

"Hi." Yuki said to him.

"You! Why are you here?!" He spoke in a tone that implied he was either angry or afraid. "Nevermind, I'm going home." He said before walking away.

Captain Sora later walked up to Yuki and asked him to spar with her.

"I'm sorry, I have things to do so I need conserve my energy." Yuki politely declined.

"I understand."

"I'll have to leave now." Yuki looked at the time on his phone. It was already 3:16pm, the school hours were usually over by 2:30pm.

"I'll see you out." Captain Sora wanted to act as Yuki's escort.

"No, I don't want to bother you. Just continue your club activities."

"Is there any chance that you'll join the martial arts club?" She asked with a serious expression on her face.

"I was thinking of joining the book club." Yuki spoke.

"Kinatarou-kun, even if your ki is not as strong as the rest of ours, you still have great fighting skills. Why would you want to join the book club with such skills?"

She placed her hand on Yuki's shoulder. "You can become stronger here."

Yuki squinted his eyes at her. She had no idea that even without the Yuki joining the martial arts club he could still become stronger now that he had someone to teach him.

"I just want to read." Yuki said before walking away.

Yuki was on his way to Sophia's house so that he could begin his training.

On his way to their house he stopped by the store he used to work. He greeted all his former colleagues and handed his resignation letter to the manager. The manager tried to convince Yuki to continue working there but Yuki declined, he couldn't train with Sophia's dad and still work at the same time.

While Yuki was working there he usually attracted lots of female customers, tons of girls would go to the store just to see Yuki.

Yuki continued his stroll to Sophia's house when he was dragged into a dark alley by a thin man. The man was wearing ragged clothes, he had messy hair and was pointing a gun at Yuki.
