Chapter 97: Finnaly back

Chapter 97: Finnaly back

(3rd pov)

After Ryoto stood outside for a while sorting his emotions, the group of four went inside where the rest of the class was. They were already reading the books written by Koro-sensei. Each book was unique as all of them were specifically written for each student. They were lying on every desk in the classroom.

Ryoto, Lala, Kaede, and Rio sat at our own desks and started reading. Each book was filled not only with Koro-sensei's advice and jokes but also with photos taken during our year together. There were also some photos taken by Sophia. In these photos, we were laughing, playing, trying to kill Koro-sensei, and most importantly, we had fun.

Seeing all of the memories, Ryoto smiled and promised himself once more that no matter what, he'll bring Koro-sensei back. He already had a plan for that, but it'll take some time.

Ryoto wasn't the only one who smiled as Lala, Rio, and Kaede did as well.

Finished looking through the photos, everyone started reading what Koro-sensei wrote for them. It was impossible to do as the books were incredibly thick, extra thicc if you will.

Some of the advice where about the future, some were about personal life, some even were teasing the reader but even among them, what was in Ryoto's book was unique.

Inside there were training manuals and how he could improve. There were even some scarily accurate guesses about his other abilities.

Koro-sensei really knew more than he let on and waited until Ryoto was ready to talk with him. There was also one quote that drew Ryoto's eyes.

'Past didn't happen to tie you down but to help you grow. Remember that without your past, you wouldn't be where you are now. I understand that accepting your past isn't easy, so I'm not going to ask you to do it right away.

I just hope that you'll accept who you are right now because right now, you are one of my incredibly talented students that made me proud until the end, and I'm sure will continue making me proud further down the road even when I'm not with you.'

As Ryoto's eyes went over the last words, a single tear dropped on the page, and he decided to try to take Koro-sensei's advice to heart. He can't promise that he'll ever accept how he was in the past, but he is able to accept himself eight now. He wouldn't be able to do it without the help of everyone around him. Lala, Rio, Kaede, and of course Koro-sensei were part of it, and to a smaller degree, all of his classmates too.

__________

Ryoto finally completed his quest. It took him some time, but he was able to accept who he was in the end. He is Ryoto Yuuki, brother of Rito and Mikan Yuuki, fianc to Lala Satalin Deviluke. From now on, he'll stop thinking about the past or, to better put it, don't let the past affect the present. While he won't deny that his past will hunt him at times, but he'll try to be true to himself more, and the first on the list of things to do is to have a talk with the trio.

It will need to wait until tomorrow, though, as everyone was already sleeping.

(Ryoto's pov)

The following day everyone went their own way. Some of them still gold grudge against me for killing Koro-sensei alone but most of them calmed down and understood the situation I was put in. Maybe Koro-sensei wrote something in the books that let them think about the whole event.

As my classmates were going home, I called for Kaede and Rio as Lala was already walking next to me while holding my hand.

When we were finally alone, I stood in front of three girls.

I was nervous. I know that all of them like me in a romantic way, but starting a harem isn't easy. Lala doesn't have a problem, but the two ordinary girls may have.

OK, calling both of them normal isn't the most accurate, but almost no girl is willing to share her partner, and I call Lala an exception.

Karen: "I don't even know where to start telling you how wrong you are."

'Huh?'

Karen: "Are you forgetting from what world you are coming from? And let's not forget we that we may or may not visit worlds that are even more accepting of multiple partners."

'Fair point, but it doesn't make me any less nervous.'

I focused on the girls in front of me once more.

Ryoto: "I want to be honest with all three of you. As you know, I am in a happy relationship with Lala, but we grew closer together this year. Before I noticed, I started caring about both of you first as a friend and later on... as someone more than a friend."

???: "How is your life?"

Ryoto: "Good... I guess. I have a loving girlfriend...s, a happy family, and friends. I can't ask for more, but I'm pretty greedy, so I'll try to get my teacher back too."

???: "Then it's all good. Happy for you, Ryoto."

Ryoto?

Ryoto: "How do you know my name?"

???: "Don't you remember me?"

I shook my head.

???: "Maybe you'll know my name then. Let me introduce myself. I have many names, but you are probably the most familiar with Truck-kun."

Truck-kun!!!? Does it mean he'll run me over again to send me back!!!?

Truck-kun: "I won't do that. I can if you want to, but I would rather not. I just washed my front not long time ago."

Ryoto: "...I should have expected that you can read minds."

Truck-kun: "Sorry, if that offends you, I'll stop. I just wanted to check how your lives go with my own eyes. I like to see people who use their second chances to the fullest, and while you have some things that tie you down, I see that you're working on them, and that too makes me happy."

He seems like a nice guy.

Karen: "I don't like him."

'Why?'

Truck-kun gave me an awkward smile.

Truck-kun: "It's because I 'dated' her sister in the past. I say 'dated' because I was the only one who thought that we were dating. She was even more innocent in the past. She thought that being a boyfriend and girlfriend was being a boy friend and girl friend. She was already an adult at that time. It doesn't help that I still try to get together with Sophia."

Karen: "Not true. I don't like you because you're that old hag, son."

Truck-kun: "...Understandable."

I will ignore everything I heard here because I feel not included in this conversation.

Truck-kun: "But enough of us, I have a job to do. I need to go to my sister soon and apologize to whoever she is annoying this time."

He snapped his fingers, creating a blinding bright light, and when it vanished, I was inside my room, but it was... different. There was a computer there which wasn't here before, and it was more modern than the year 2007 allows for. I reached out to my pocket to get my phone, and it was exactly the same one I used in the 'Assassination classroom' world. I also looked at the calendar. It was the year 2015.

What is going on?

(Kaede's pov)

It was the day of our graduation, but we were missing one person. Strangely only our class remembered Ryoto. To the surprise of both Karasuma and Bitch-sensei, he wasn't even on the list. I tried calling him, but as he said yesterday, we couldn't contact him. We even asked Ritsu to locate his phone, but she wasn't able to do it. It meant either the phone was off, out of service, or completely destroyed.

Disappearing of Ryoto wasn't the strangest event that happened. The moon was once again whole. It wasn't destroyed, and we could enjoy a full moon.

Some of us even had our schools changed, but they were better than our choices before. Karma, Nagisa, Rio, and I were going to the same school in another city. I don't know what is going on, but we couldn't change our choices, not that we wanted anyway.

We decided to move to the new city at the same time, but that day the four of us got a very interesting massage from Ritsu.
