Chapter 100 - I Am Innocent

Dr. Fin remained silent for a while before telling, "I was thinking of letting Miss Lisa teach you painting but now I am reconsidering that thought of mine."

Upon hearing this, all the students of the class turned towards the boy named Rajesh Hiragami, the cousin brother of Nagisa Hiragi. Everyone wanted to beat him into a pulp. All of them already had bad luck, and they were destined to see the face of the same person for the entire school period and the entire year.

The painting teacher and the martial arts teacher were the only ones they could see except Dr. Fin, and now due to some boy's over talking one option from the two was becoming a dark future for them.

Ryan spoke out and calmed the atmosphere by saying, "Pfft, nice joke you two can make. I am looking forward to meeting this painting teacher for our class."

Dr. Fin too laughed out loud and said them about Miss Lisa and her powers. At the age of ten, she had already gotten the title of a witch, and at the age of twelve, she got her name in the Young Tycoon's ranking list.

Even though she can become a full-time teacher, she decided to become a teacher and spread her knowledge. Ryan didn't find his explanation satisfactory and thought of digging out her personal information later.

The first two periods went like that in talking and chatting of the students and Dr. Fin. He was getting closer to each one of them and got to know each one character and behavior.

But three students were in his class whose personality and character he couldn't determine as he did with others. One was Ryan, the other was Nagisa, and the last was Rajesh.

For him Ryan was a versatile kid, who could adapt to his surroundings or could change the surroundings according to his preferences. Nagisa was a quiet girl and speaks whenever she wants to ask something, nothing more and nothing less. And at last Nagisa's cousin Rajesh he was a happy go lucky type kid. He was always cheerful, but his stupidity makes him look like an idiot sometimes.

There were some other students too who had piqued Dr. Fin's interest, but he decided to go after these three and make them his disciples.

Since the ancient times, commoners and non-practitioners used to join big and small sects to step onto the path of cultivation and to reach the pinnacle of life, immortality.

But since it's a lifelong eternal journey and people may astray sometime, they choose to make someone their master and follow their guidance.

Similarly, after satisfying the hunger of power and greed, higher-level cultivation practitioners always think that they haven't done anything in their life to feel proud about or they had no one in their life who can take after their legacy. So to fulfill that wish of theirs they accept discipline who will learn directly under their guidance.

And such rules were still valid in the modern era of cultivation. Each year, each teacher is asked to take seven disciplines on them and teach them all the things that they had learned till now.

The general class of physics, chemistry, math... was something that Dr. Fin will teach them, but apart from that, they will be given missions and small tasks to complete with their designated sensei, in a group of seven.

The fourth bell rang and now it was the beginning of a one-hour long lunch break. Dr. Fin took their temporary leave and went out of the class to have his lunch in his office. Following him, all the students leave the class with their lunch box with them. Some were carrying it in their spatial rings, while the others were carrying it on their hands.

And Ryan was one of them. He took out his lunch box from his bag and went out alone, near the school playground.

He looked around, found an empty place under a tree in the distant corner, and made himself comfortable under it. He was about to open his box when a sound interrupted him, "Hey buddy, thanks for this morning."

Aryan looked upward and found the figure was the boy sitting behind him in the class, the boy named Rajesh Hiragami.

"Oh, it's you!!" exclaimed Ryan and asked him to make himself comfortable there.

Rajesh sat near Ryan and thanked him again for his help. Ryan was a bit confused, so he asked him the reason for his thanks.

Rajesh laughed out and said, "Haven't you seen the angry faces of the other students? They were dead set on beating me into a pulp. Thanks to you, it ended up as a joke. Or else god knows what would have happened to this beautiful face of mine."

Aryan was about to say something when another voice interrupted and said, "Baka, that's what you got for saying too much with that mouth of yours."

"Ara ara, my cousin sis is following me now, you lil stalker," teased Rajesh to the girl standing before him.

"My, lil dear cousin bro, want me to kick at your neck like last time? Earlier I missed it by an inch, this time I will aim properly and break that neck of yours." replied back the girl with a cheerful smile on her face.

Seeing the cousin's conflict, Ryan on the side was at the verge of bursting out in laughter. Nagisa observed Ryan's expression and asked, "Ryan.A, I can spare a kick for you too. I think you need one or two for the time being."

Ryan laughed out on her threat and asked her to try it out on him. Rajesh was trying to stop the lion and the tigress but couldn't do anything as he was a small calf between them.

Ryan was opening his lunch box when Nagisa raised her leg and waved it with a momentum aiming at his neck. Ryan saw her kick coming and didn't even budge from his place.

Till then Nagisa was thinking that Ryan will dodge her kick and the impact of her kick will disappear on air. But when she saw Ryan wasn't moving from his place, she got a little worried. Cause she had no control over that ferocious kick of her.

And all these events of Nagisa kicking Ryan and Ryan not budging from his place happened within a fraction of nanoseconds. As she had no control over her kick, it went directly towards Ryan and was about a nanometer away from taking impact. She gritted her teeth and tried to stop her kick, but to his dismay, it didn't stop and advanced its movement towards Ryan's neck.

When both the cousins were thinking Ryan is done for, something happened before their eyes that felt like a crazy fantasy dream to them. Ryan caught Nagisa's leg just with a pair of wooden chopsticks.

Nagisa retreated back to her leg and looked at Ryan with a furious face. Before he got to say something tears came out flowing from her eyes, and she started crying.

Both Ryan and Rajesh were completely dumbstruck from the sudden turn of events. First Nagisa came out of the blue, then she tried to injure him with her deadly kick, and at last when Ryan caught her kick with a pair of chopsticks she started crying!!

'The hell is wrong with this girl?!!' was the thought in both of their mind.

While they were pondering about it, her crying began to attract attention from the other students eating at a distance. Ryan observed the situation and snapped his left-hand finger to erect a soundless barrier around him.

Rajesh got worried and asked Ryan to help him stop Nagisa crying. Ryan frowned for a while before opening his lunch box and shoved one of the food dishes into Nagisa's mouth, with the help of his chopsticks.

"Sob, sob," Nagisa calmed down and chewed down the food dish in his mouth. Its sweetness and sponginess was something that he had never tried in her life.

After she calmed down Ryan passed her a tissue and asked her to wipe down her tears. Nagisa took the tissue from Ryan and wiped down her face as he had asked her to.

"So, care to tell, what was the reason for your crying?" asked Ryan while frowning his eyebrows. Cause as long as he knew he was completely innocent in this matter.

Nagisa remained silent and kept on staring towards the food dish in Ryan's lunch box. Ryan understood how to tame that girl and said, "One answer and one sweet of my box will be yours."

Listening to his offer Nagisa nodded her head and agreed to answer his questions.

Ryan repeated his question again, "So, care to tell, what was the reason for your crying?"

Nagisa remained silent for a while before replying, "My kick."

Ryan "..."

Rajesh "...."

"Yes…. What about your kick?" asked Ryan.
