Requesting Leave for Gabriel

Although Ren first thought there was something wrong with his superpower, after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible.

The chance of something going wrong with his superpowers is the same as the chance of a 2D character that otaku likes also liking them, it's impossible.

After thinking for a while, Ren gave an example that was easy to understand based on the knowledge he had learned.

So there is absolutely no problem with his superpowers.

Since there was no problem with his superpower and it showed [Health] status, then why did Gabriel say she was sick?

After looking at Gabriel carefully, Ren felt like he had guessed the reason.

He only knew that Gabriel was not physically ill, but he didn't know whether Gabriel was mentally ill.

As for mental illness, if he was tested, he would definitely know some more private things.

Therefore Ren will not investigate it.

Therefore, Gabriel may be mentally ill.

Based on his trust in Gabriel, Ren didn't even think that she was pretending to be sick.

So, to confirm his guess, he took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong with you?"

"…"

Gabriel hesitated for a moment, pointed to her little head, and said, "My head feels a little uncomfortable."

If you pretend to have another disease it might be detected, but if you talk about it, you don't need to worry too much.

(Really.)

After hearing the answer, Ren confirmed his guess.

"I will ask permission for you."

He still knows that students need to ask for time off from school if they are sick.

"Sorry to bother you."

Gabriel held the door open, deliberately showing a weak expression.

Ren is so easy to deceive!

Just say a few words and he will believe her.

Now that he had asked permission for her, she could stay home and continue playing the game.

After thinking for a while, Ren said again: "Take a good rest and drink more hot water."

He learned this from the internet. It is said that when women feel uncomfortable, men will say this to express their concerns.

"Okay," Gabriel nodded slightly, "Then I will rest first. You also have to go to school immediately. Goodbye."

"Goodbye," Ren said goodbye.

Before he left, he used the two superpowers [Healing] and [Protection] on Gabriel.

Because he didn't know what was going on with Gabriel, he couldn't use any special superpowers to treat her, so he could only use the most common [Healing] method.

He hopes this superpower can work on the mind.

If it really didn't work, he could only use [Following the Words] to forcibly heal Gabriel.

Ren doesn't want to see his best friend, Gabriel, suffer from this disease.

In a sense, [Following the Words] is an invincible superpower, the only weakness is that it cannot exert any influence on the user.

For example, it is impossible to be an ordinary person.

Ren has tried it.

Except for the fact that it didn't work for him, everything else was possible, especially healing Gabriel.

The superpower [Protection] was for insurance, but he heard that mental problems were very serious.

With [Protection], even if something happens to Gabriel, she can be prevented from getting hurt.

As long as [Protection] is triggered, Ren will know that something happened to Gabriel, so he can rush over as quickly as possible.

Of course, these two super powers do not have a supervisory function. He is not the kind of person who violates other people's rights just for his own good.

He's not like those people.

After doing all this, Ren left the apartment with a calm mind.

Once Gabriel was sure Ren was gone, she returned to the laptop.

Looking at the game screen displayed on the laptop, Gabriel continued to control it.

Isn't the laptop's performance too good?

This is obviously just a thin and light laptop, but it can easily drive the "AAA" masterpieces mentioned on the Internet.

This is really strange.

However, Gabriel didn't think much about the game.

She attributed it to her good taste and chose this laptop at a glance.

Of course, Ren also played a role.

At least she agreed with his vision.

"Okay, I will beat this boss no matter what I say today."

Then, the sound of playing continued to be heard from Gabriel's room.

··········

Shuchi'in Academy, class B 1st year.

Maybe because the weekend had just passed, many students in the class were telling their friends what they did over the weekend.

When Ren walked into the classroom, he didn't attract anyone's attention except Vigne.

"Good morning, Kamikawa-san."

As soon as he sat down, Vigne turned around and greeted him.

Putting down his school bag, Ren replied: "Good morning."

"Hah? Where's Gab? Why didn't I see her come with you?"

Vigne glanced at Gabriel's seat, then looked at the door, then asked.

Previously, Gabriel always came here with Ren.

Today, only Ren came, but Gabriel didn't show up, which made her feel something was wrong.

"She's sick," Ren said calmly.

"Is Gab sick?"

Hearing this, Vigne panicked and asked quickly: "What disease does she have? Is it serious?"

"She said her head felt uncomfortable," Ren repeated what Gabriel had told him.

"Is her head uncomfortable? Must be dizzy?" Guess Vigne.

"Don't know."

After saying that, Ren stood up.

"I'll go ask permission for her."

"Yes." Vigne answered.

She didn't know Gabriel's specific situation, so she didn't want to go there and cause trouble.

Arriving at the door to the faculty and staff office, Ren knocked softly.

*Knock Knock*

"Please come in."

A familiar female voice came from the office.

According to Ren's judgment, it should belong to Mafuyu.

So Ren entered without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mafuyu sitting on the edge of the window sill.

"Hello Sensei."

Walking towards Mafuyu, Ren greeted her.

Who knows why, but now when he sees Mafuyu, he will think of his family's tragic situation.

"That's Kamikawa-san." Mafuyu looked at him doubtfully, not really understanding why he had come to see her.

"I'm here to ask permission for Gabriel."

Ren didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point.

Mafuyu asked with concern: "What happened to Tenma-san?"

She knew who Gabriel was, after all, she was her neighbor, and she also had a good relationship with Ren.

"She said she was sick and had a headache," Ren repeated again.

"She says?"

Mafuyu found the point.

He said that Gabriel said it herself.

This made her suspect that Gabriel was deliberately pretending to be sick and asking for permission.

"Um."

"Did you bring a doctor's certificate?" Mafuyu asked.

"No."

The word "doctor" made Ren instinctively feel disgusted, making him easily reminded of the people in white coats who had imprisoned him for ten years.

If it wasn't necessary, he would never go to a place like a hospital in his life.

A hospital can be given to him, and he will never get sick.

Even if he is sick, Ren has many ways to heal himself.

"Then do you have Tenma-san's cell phone number?" Mafuyu continued to ask, she planned to personally confirm Gabriel's physical condition.

"No." Ren answered honestly.

Even though he accompanied Gabriel and Vigne to buy the cellphone, that doesn't mean he knows their cellphone number.

He couldn't ask for their cellphone or LINE numbers.

The only thing he had was Gabriel's email address, which Gabriel had given him when she wanted to send her photos.

"What about LINE?"

"There isn't any."

"…"

If the person in front of her was someone else, Mafuyu would have already suspected whether the other party was lying.

How is that possible if that person doesn't even have his friend's contact information?

But if it was Ren, Mafuyu still thought it was normal.

Since Ren didn't know Gabriel's contact information, Mafuyu couldn't confirm whether she was sick.

She couldn't drive home just to make sure Gabriel was sick.

She still couldn't do something like this.

In this case, she had no choice but to agree to Gabriel's request for leave.

"I agree with Tenma-san's sick leave," Mafuyu reminded, "Remember to help her turn in her homework, and you can also show her your notebook to prevent her from being unable to keep up with the class progress."

"Um."

Seeing his goal achieved, Ren left the office.

Returning to class again, he found many people already in the classroom.

Itsuki who had never come, sat in her chair obediently.

As soon as she saw Ren enter, Itsuki took out a bottle of honey water from her pocket and handed it to him.

"Kamikawa-san, here it is."

On the previous Saturday, Ren gave her a lecture for so long that Itsuki was a little worried about his voice.

"Thank You."

After drinking the honey water, Ren sat in his chair.

"You're welcome, I'm the one who should thank you," Itsuki waved her hand and said sincerely.

"Kamikawa-san, snacks... Can I give them to you in batches?"

Initially she planned to buy lots of snacks for Ren, but at that time she forgot that the school had a disciplinary committee.

It was impossible to carry so many snacks openly, so Itsuki had to carry them to school in a school bag.

"In other words, I can invite Kamikawa-san to eat at an outdoor cafe."

"Can."

Ren was always indifferent towards such things.

"So Kamikawa-san, are you free this afternoon?" Itsuki asked hopefully.

"There isn't any."

Originally Ren didn't do anything today, but Gabriel was sick, and as his good friend, he had to visit her.

"Eh? Kamikawa-san, are you busy this afternoon?"

At this time, Vigne on the side spoke.

"I also plan to visit Gab and ask you to help lead the way."

Although she was relatively familiar with Gabriel, she still didn't know where Gabriel lived exactly.

"I'm going to visit too, so I can take the lead," Ren answered stiffly.

"Visiting Tenma-san?" Itsuki guessed, "Is Tenma-san sick?"

"According to Kamikawa-san, Gab's head feels a little uncomfortable."

Vigne knew that Ren was not good at talking, so she took the initiative to explain.

"I see."

Itsuki finally knew what Ren meant when he said something was wrong.

However, she and Gabriel weren't very familiar with each other, so it would be rude to go and visit like this.

So she gave up on going with them.

Then, she took out a large bag of snacks from her desk drawer and handed it to Ren.

That was what she had originally planned to give Ren in return.

"This is for Tenma-san, I have something to do this afternoon and I can't go there."

"Sure."

"Um... Kamikawa-san, I'll give you your snacks tomorrow." Seeing Ren accept the snacks, Itsuki said a little embarrassed.

"Can."

···········

Not long after, it was afternoon.

In the afternoon, Ren taught math problems to Itsuki and Fumino as usual.

As soon as the school bell rang, Ren stood up.

At the same time, there was Rizu sitting in front.

"Ricchan, what are you doing?"

Seeing Rizu's movements, Fumino asked curiously.

"Go to Kamikawa-san. He promised to teach me in the afternoon," Rizu explained to her seriously.

"Eh?" Fumino was stunned.

When did Rizu meet Ren?

Didn't she know who Ren was before?

Why is it changing so quickly?

Fumino felt that something must have happened to Rizu and Ren.

"Ricchan, Kamikawa-san and Vigne-san will be visiting Tenma-san this afternoon, so it's unlikely he'll agree to help you study," Reminded Fumino.

Itsuki told her this at noon today. She probably guessed that he also wanted Ren to teach her in the afternoon.

"I see."

Rizu pushed up her glasses, but showed no intention of sitting down.

"Well, Ricchan, how did you get Kamikawa-san to agree to teach you?" Fumino asked the question she was most concerned about.

She also wants Ren to give her a special tutor!

"Kamikawa-san asked me to give him snacks as a reward for teaching me," Rizu answered.

Fumino's eyes lit up: "Giving snacks?"

She can do this. She just bought some snacks for Ren and asked him to help her study. This is really profitable.

So, she memorized this method and planned to try it tomorrow.
