How can someone be genetically perfect?

{Every human has limits, be it in their mind, soul, or body. Being perfect in this context means that she is at her absolute genetic limit. So unless she finds a way to go beyond that, the only way for her to get stronger is to increase her muscle mass or train her mind through some exercises. Just the average training most humans do.}

We all ate at the table in a uncomfortable silence until Tatenashi said:

-Before you ask me who I am and we start some petty love comedy I would like to introduce myself. I am the strongest in the academy. Tatenashi Sarashiki, I am not that famous, being the student president and all. Her fan said The best

-I'm also Seichii's roommate.

She is unusually feisty, normally she just makes some jokes to lighten the mood, even when she is serious she jokes around.

The two looked shocked.

-What is the meaning of this?!

-That's a se-cret.

Laura partially summoned her IS and pointed her laser saber at her.

But before she could do anything, Tatenashi summoned her lance and swiped at Laura.

The force behind it made Laura jump several feet away.

She looked shocked by the force behind that swipe.

-If you don't want to do some community work around the school, I recommend you two to stop.

-That power abuse! Cecilia said

-Do you have any complaints? Please send them to the council room later. She sent them a smile.

-Can you all not fight in my room? You already destroyed the carpet.

I looked at Laura and her saber that was piecing the ground. And Cecilia, who was about to shoot her drones.

-KUK! Said my ant, getting out of his hole in the terrarium.

-You all even woke up Paarthurnax.

(Ants' sleep cycle is very different from ours; they take small naps of around 1 minute multiple times in a day or something like that. The golden Ant takes longer naps, of around 1 hour 4-5 times a day.)

-Pa-ar-what? X3

-It's rather cute. Said Tatenashi

The ant looked at the blue-haired girl and just went back to the hole.

-I think it likes me! She said.

-...

-Seiichi-san I am sorr… Cecilia tried to apologize

-Don't worry about it. The school is paying for all of this anyway. If I remember correctly, there's a rule about this somewhere in that thick rule book.

-Chapter 12 of the most recent volume, Young IS users regulations, international sanctions, paragraph number 7. Tatenashi said.

-... I am still so far behind... Laura said downcast

-Anyway, her stay here isn't anything like you girls are thinking, just give us a few days and everything will be explained.

-So be it. How can I be a good husband if I do not support my wife? Said, Laura

-Wait, what?

-I have decided that you shall be my wife! Your excuses shall be ignored. She said in an authoritative tone.

-First, I can't be a wife.

-Why not!

-Wife can only refer to a woman, while husband refers to a man.

-What?... Is my information wrong?... She started thinking.

-Yeah, he can't become your wi-wife! Said Cecília

That phrase hurt my ears.

-Don't interfere in other couple's affairs.

… This meaningless discussion went on for a good half an hour before both Laura and Cecilia went their separate ways.

-It's just us now. Tatenashi said teasingly.

-Indeed it is.

We just looked at each other before Tatenashi blushed a little and said.

-Let's leave this for later, it's late and tomorrow the day will be quite eventful.

-I will just send a clone in my place.

-And you think I would allow it?

-Please? Supreme lady of the prestigious IS academy?

-I will think about it.

I snapped my fingers and the lights went off.

After a few minutes, while I was on the verge of sleeping, I heard a soft, low voice.

-Thank you.

-For what?

-You know. My sister, she isn't the… you know, the most sociable of the lot. Previously when I heard her personal unit was going to get postponed, I immediately knew she was going to try and make one herself.

-And since she doesn't have that many friends, she would struggle to do it alone. So thank you, for being in her company and helping her push through that difficult phase.

-I did it more to help myself than her, you know.

-I knew that of course, but that doesn't undervalue what you did. You helped her when she needed it most and helped her surpass hard times in her life.

-You should try to go and talk to her, she still cares about you a lot. The whole reason for her determination all this time is you after all.

-... You would be half right.

-Half? Alright, what's the other half?

She turned her head towards me from her bed and said.

-Secret.

I could hardly see her smile in the dark due to my enhanced vision.

-...Can I ask for a new roommate?

-You can send your request to the student council!

The night went on peacefully after that

The next day I got up from my bed and stopped my alarm, I looked to the side and noticed that Tatenashi wasn't there.

Did she wake up first?...

-You seem disappointed. Were you waiting for me to appear on your bed?

-... Good morning, Tatenashi-san

-Ohh, you can just call me Tatenashi. No need for honorifics.

-Have you already taken a shower?

-How did you notice? Is my smell so captivating?

-Your hair is wet.

-Anyway. I wanted to ask you, what will happen with the tournament now?

-It will be rescheduled of course. But I am afraid you won't be able to participate.

-Why?

-Your IS is the reason. It is still being discussed by the board of directors. They need to make sure it isn't a threat to the students' lives. It normally doesn't take too long but your IS is simply too complex, and they don't have that long to do it either. Since the tournament has been scheduled for tomorrow.

-So soon?

-We can't lose too much time. Every time we have a big event something happens, which makes our schedule tight. Anyways, I wanted to ask you a question since we are on this topic.

-Sure, bring it on. I said while getting up to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

-How did you do it?

-Did what? The IS?

-No you dummy. How did you conquer so many girls' hearts?

-That is completely off-topic.

-Haha… Just a joke, a joke. Anyway, how did you build an IS from zero? While even helping my sister make hers that is. In fact, why did she even agree to your help? You see, she is very competitive because of our… because of me...

-Okay okay, let's stop this topic for now and go back to the IS. We already talked about this yesterday. It's not your fault that your relationship with your sister ended up like that, and it's not as bad as you imagine it to be. So sit back and relax while I tell you my incredible story: From commoner to male IS pilot.

-And for your previous question. How can they not? Look at me…

Tatenashi rolled her eyes.

I told her my story in a very dramatic and "action" filled. From when I was smaller and how I always got fascinated by the IS in general, to the beginning of my teens and started to study higher-level knowledge, eventually ending up in the special testing booth and coming here. I mixed lies with the truth and omitted many important sections of my life, in order to make things simpler to understand.

Tatenashi laughed t from time to time saying that I was more of a gangster than the criminals that entered the city, calling me a bad boy.

After I ended my lunch I went to take a shower and put on my clothes.

-So Tatenahsi see you later.

-You are going to skip class arent you?

-I am not skipping class. The knowledge will come to me eventually. Didn't I explain to you how my cloning technology worked?

-It sounds just like skipping class, but with extra steps.

We talked a little before we parted ways.

…

The day ended peacefully, and this time I ate in the cafeteria with Laura, Kona, Kanzashi, and Cecilia.

The mood wasn't as good as I had expected it to be.

Cecilia already knew Laura and Kona, she especially favored Kona since she is my "sister" but Kanzashi is a different case altogether.

The usual drama happened and I presented each of them to Kanzashi. After the story, both of them seemed to sympathize with how she was just cast out, but they still looked at her wearily. After that, the mood got better and we finished our food. Satisfied, I went back to my room to sleep, the tournament tomorrow will be very serious. Previously Cecilia and Linlin wouldn't be able to participate, and now Laura has changed a bit. Kanzashi will most likely be there too.

(Most of the interactions between him and the girls are made through the clones, and most of it would be quite awkward to read, so I cut it out after imagining it in my head, I just didn't want to cut everything as it would leave just him studying and living his life, the nature of the girls and his environment make it like this. Tell me in the comments if I should do some chapters to explain all of them better so that you can all understand just how multiple girls fell for him to this extent.)
