Chapter 67: A Dangerous Man and a Dangerous Woman

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Um, excuse me…”

“Eh? Eh? Eh? …………Eh?”

That “incident” happened in Class 3–4 as they were studying hard for their midterm exams.

A “dangerous individual” entered from the front entrance of Class 3–4’s classroom. More than half of the 22 students inside immediately collapsed and lost consciousness. And without realizing what he had caused, that “dangerous individual” approached a female student near the door and asked her about the whereabouts of a certain person.

Even while trembling, the girl desperately managed to tell him where that person had gone. The dangerous individual smiled, then left. The remaining students barely managed to stay conscious, but became unable to move. Later, under the hurried instructions of their teacher, Fujisaki, every student received mental-care magic from the school health officer, Hayate Hayashibara, and their safety was confirmed. Fujisaki, who was this dangerous individual’s homeroom teacher, rushed after him so that no more victims would appear.

His trail was easy to follow. Most of the students he passed had fallen into a status ailment simply because he smiled at them, and were sitting collapsed on the spot. Fujisaki agonized over whether she should run to protect the girls’ midterm exams and their futures, but she chose to follow him. She could not allow the number of victims to increase any further.

Fujisaki’s magic surged stronger than she had ever experienced, even surprising herself. He headed for the “training room,” the location he had heard from the female student. Somehow, she had to stop him.

A few days earlier, the boy had also gone to the training room and obtained the seed for his 【Original】 as Fujisaki had heard from Heike. Fujisaki also knew he had been struggling to contain the amount of magic his 【Original】 required. That was why Fujisaki had desperately been thinking of a method, before things turned out like this.

He was a serious person by nature. So if he couldn’t do something, he would seek advice. Since the matter concerned an 【Original】, he would definitely consult a teacher or an upperclassman. If it were an upperclassman, Fujisaki knew there was only one he would likely turn to.

If it was her—always calm and collected—Fujisaki trusted it would be alright. But the future was something no one could know. And along the way, many girls had already been taken out by his sheer radiance. In any case, she had to stop him.

Fujisaki rushed after him—after this extraordinarily dangerous boy who could effortlessly make girls fall for him. A dangerous boy who had good looks, good character, strength, and worked hard on top of that.

“Are you trying to kill the girls and me (my future), Itsukushima-kuuuun!?”

“Hm? What was that? I feel like I just heard someone calling for help… No, must’ve been my imagination. Nothing dangerous would happen in such a peaceful academy.”

With a mind that blended misunderstanding and obliviousness in just the right ratio, Ittou glanced outside the window, shook his head, and headed for the training room he had visited a few days earlier to learn more about his 【Original】.

No, actually, he had been coming to the training room every day for the past few days. Not only for the 【Original】, but also for strengthening his teamwork with the H-Team. Today had been declared a rest day at the suggestion of Unohana and Katagiri, who insisted he should take a break. But Ittou, who could be called a complete effort-addict, decided that if he couldn’t train, he would at least go get advice.

He had already been receiving advice from Heike, Yukiichi, and Raigou while training these past few days, so he didn’t want to burden the teachers any further. Thus, Ittou headed toward a a certain “senpai.”

Shinobu Shinonome. A Student Council officer like Kanna, a cool and dignified third-year. Thinking she would be the best person, he visited her classroom, but she wasn’t there. When he asked a senpai who was there, he learned she had gone to the training room, so Ittou immediately headed there.

Still, I hope that third-year senpai earlier is okay… She kept pinching her cheeks over and over… Third-years must be having a hard time studying for tests and pulling all-nighters… The senpai behind her had their face down on the desk groaning, too… ‘Nooo! Noooo! Not nighttime studying agaaaain!’ they were saying… If they’re studying that much even at night, I gotta do my best too…

The Earl of Misunderstanding and Obliviousness, Ittou Itsukushima, thought such things as he opened the door to the training room where Shinobu was supposed to be. He looked around inside for Shinonome. The training room of Touma Academy was built like the abandoned gymnasium in Ittou’s rural hometown. It was a one large shared floor surrounded by individual rooms.

The training room was filled with mana particles, allowing magic use. But in the shared area, there was a strict upper limit on output. Individual rooms could increase mana density through a formal request, but that required teacher permission. Only excellent students could use them.

As expected, Shinobu wasn’t in the shared area. She seemed to be inside one of the private rooms. But since he couldn’t tell which one from outside, he stood there feeling lost until someone called out to him.

“Heeey!! Itsukushima-kun—!!”

When Ittou looked toward the voice, he saw a small girl he didn’t recognize waving vigorously as she ran toward him. The bobbed light-brown hair bouncing as she ran made her look so tiny—around 140 cm at best—that Ittou even momentarily thought she was much farther away than she was. She sprinted past him with full force, skidded to a stop, and looked up at him.

“Itsukushima-kun!! You’re Itsukushima-kun, right!!?”

“Ah, yes, I’m Itsukushima… Uum…”

Her big chestnut eyes sparkled as she looked up at him, leaving Ittou flustered. But without paying any attention to his reaction, the girl grabbed his arm.

“Yep yep!! You came to look for Shinobu, right!!? She’s over there!!”

She’s calling her “Shinobu” by name…So she’s a classmate of Shinonome-senpai?! But… I find it hard to believe!

Compared to Shinobu—tall, slender, with long beautiful black hair and a mature aura—this girl was childish in every way except her chest. Ittou was stunned. But—

This girl is crazy strong! I’m practically floating!

With one hand, she grabbed Ittou and charged forward. He was nearly airborne as she dragged him to the deepest room in the training area. The display on the door read: “Use with caution.” She pressed her student card to the reader. The door opened with a psshhh—and freezing air, almost certainly from Shinobu’s power, poured out.

“Right now…!! Shinobu’s…!! Working on a new 【Original】! Itsukushima-kun, you totally have to watch!!”

At the small girl’s words, Ittou swallowed hard. Overwhelming ice magic was inside. Whether from the cold or the sheer magical pressure, his body shivered. Beyond the white mist, she was there. She was fighting a virtual monster created by magic—an enormous creature nearly three meters tall. She—and “they”—were overwhelming it. Shinobu stood with her spear, surrounded by multiple ice figures that moved in perfect coordination.

“…! Go now! Ice Knight—!”

At Shinobu’s command, the weakened giant monster was finished off by a final concentrated assault. The overwhelming power—the massive amount of mana required to create a whole squad of humanoid ice figures—left Ittou impressed. But something bothered him.

What is it… Those ice figures… I feel like I’ve seen those movements before…

“Heh… Wait—?! I-I-Itsukushima-kun!? When did you get here!?”

Before he could reach the answer, Shinobu spotted him and immediately dispelled the ice figures she had created.

Hmm… What is it again…?

Drowning in obliviousness, Ittou failed to notice.

(That was close that was close that was CLOSE! I almost let Ittou-kun see! No—he did see!? Eh!? Did he think it was creepy!?)

Shinobu panicked. Because…

“How is it!? Amazing, right!? Shinobu’s new 【Original】, Ice Knight!! It totally moves like someone you know, right!!?”

“Eh… Y-yeah! Hahaha!”

Slammed with a loud voice out of nowhere, Ittou could only laugh vaguely. Yes—the Ice Knight’s height, its face, its movements—everything was modeled after Ittou. It was the crystallization of Shinobu’s sweat and effort. But because it was too precise, even she freaked herself out and covered the face and body with a helmet and armor.

As the small girl began revealing this maiden’s secret without hesitation, Shinobu glared at her. She had to stop her. Because this girl was the most powerful student in the academy, another kind of dangerous individual entirely. This girl was a walking bomb who might explode at any moment. Shinobu, usually calm and never raising her voice, screamed. Her voice cracked and echoed through the training room.

“Student Council Presideeeent!!”

“…Huh? Student Council President?!”

Hearing Shinobu’s cry, Ittou looked down and the small girl smiled innocently.

“Yep!! I’m the Student Council President!! Nice to meet you, Dangerous Individual Itsukushima-kun!!”
