This is The Moment You've Been Waiting For!

The young man wondered as he pinched his chin.

"You don't have to answer me now." Right after he said that. The old man walked in his way and grabbed something from his right pocket.

It was a business card. In it, there was the necessary information to contact the old man, including his name.

'Heiwajima Shouhei,' the young man murmured. 

To which the old man lightly nodded in response. Next, he walked away yet halfway.

"I just remembered something. Some big squads are on their way to the city. I don't know any details, you should be careful. If you die, I will be the one in trouble."

The young man shifted his line of sight to the business card in his right hand.

"This is the worst, shouldn't they cancel the swimming class?" Ryu whined as he uncovered his body. Put his uniform into a locker.

"What are you saying? Our swimming pool is a covered pool. The school is kind enough to do that, I don't see any problem." Narukami closed his locker.

The temperature inside wasn't affected by outside and quite warm too. Rather than complaint, Ryu should be a bit grateful.

Those with an outdoor swimming pool might be annoyed if they hear his complain.

"Still though, it feels kind of bizarre to swim in winter."

Harukaze High School, one of the top schools. A place for elite, talented, and rich students. The facilities they had living up to their title.

Not too fancy or extravagant nonetheless, enough for students to bring out their full potential.

Ryu and Narukami change their clothes to their swimming suits, which were simple swimming boxers.

In a narrow but enough for fifteen students to change their clothes, male students were talking with their friends as they uncovered their uniform and exchange it with a swimming boxer.

This included Ryu and Narukami too.

"Ryu, how long have you been here?"

"As far as I remember it, probably four to five months. I transferred after the end of summer. Why?"

"You're unlucky."

"Unlucky?" He wondered as one of his brows raised, he also put on his swimming boxer.

Afterward, he recounted the moments when he first moved to the city. In which, if he thought about it, he really was unlucky!

Meeting an Anomaly for the first time and following that, was a sequence of events, these were like an amazing dream.

He felt dispirited after recounting the past. His body went so weak that it bent forward.

As such, Narukami pat Ryu's right shoulder and assured him.

"Don't worry Ryu, as long you're by my side. Nothing will happen to you! So, don't give up!" With thumbs up.

Ryu did feel assured and eased up. His shoulders that felt heavy magically disappeared.

"Hearing that from you feels different."

"Really? I try my best to be supportive though, oh well."

Ryu simply chuckled, "don't worry, Narukami, I'll be fine. That Aside, buy me lunch this noon!"

Both of them then walked to the swimming pool with a smile, only Ryu.

As soon as they entered the swimming pool, all the boys' gaze was focused on Kuroda Aya.

The latter get up from the pool and approached a teacher.

As she walked, it felt like there were golden bubble lights in the background, and the world revolved around her, it was something out of this world.

Water dripped down from her long, black hair that was extended to her waist. Her footprints could be seen printed on the floor due to her feet being wet.

"No matter how many times I see this, my eyes will never get tired!" One of the boys yelled in delight.

"Indeed, this sight can only be seen by us! In other words, we're special!" Another joined in.

"I say a hundred out of ten!!" Other boys decided to judge her entire figure.

"No, one hundred is still low. Even a billion points is still not enough! Kuroda-sama is the true embodiment of beauty. Her facial features, her three sizes, her skin, they showed it all!"

Right after this, all the boys shouted in agreement.

On the other hand, the girls were disappointed as they sighed. 

The transferred student approached Kuroda and the latter had to stop walking.

"Kuroda-san, no need to mind them."

Kuroda replied with a nod and continued her pace to the teacher's way.

Abruptly.

"5/10," Narukami said with a poker face as his arms were crossed.

The boys' gaze turned to him almost immediately.

Silence fell as the boys were in shock. They can't believe what this fool just said! Soon enough, anger take over their bodies.

"What's wrong? Did I say something strange?" He asked cluelessly. Truth to be told, he was having fun playing the clueless guy.

"Bastard! You dare to mock the goddess! Even your death wouldn't be enough!"

"That's right, just because you have a good look, doesn't mean you can put others down so you can feel better!"

Saliva came out of their mouth as they talk. It didn't hit his face as it dissipated after coming into contact with his skin.

If they stay here any longer, a massacre would happen! Narukami definitely wouldn't hold back to beat these guys!

If Narukami could hear Ryu's thought, he probably going to say: who do you think I am? I'm not a savage beast...

Ryu quickly moved to Narukami's back and pushed him away from the crowd. Next, he turned his head to the crowd and with an awkward laugh.

"Everything's fine! He's joking! No need to worry!" He yelled in panic.

Narukami giggled silently and Kuroda observed them nonchalantly from a distance.

.

.

In the pool, Narukami floated on the water with his face facing upward. Ryu sat on the side of the pool, sighed. 

"Narukami, you're going to die if you keep that up."

"No need to worry, I'm not fragile enough to die by the hands of them. Shouldn't you worry about them instead?"

As a person who managed to defeat powerful beings in his past lives and continues to this day, he was confident he could defeat them with his eyes closed.

Ryu shifted his sight to the boys whose gaze was focused on Kuroda Aya who was swimming.
