Chapter 90: Into summer vacation

(Ryoto's pov)

They say that to be popular with women, you need to be either rich or good-looking, but that's not always the case in reality. I would say you need to be lucky to meet certain someone and then have the skills to continue for them to like you back. Sometimes you don't even need to try as the other party will be interested in you, which makes it easier for you, and that's what I told my classmates how to get a girlfriend when they asked me.

Looking at my body and cooking skills, they didn't believe me, and I probably wouldn't believe myself as well, but I digress.

After school had ended, I continued training with Koro-sensei. Lala was dragged with the girls to further know each other better. Lala didn't want to separate from me as she still worried about my well-being, but she went with them after some reassuring.

Koro-sensei really isn't suited to train ordinary people, but thankfully I'm not ordinary. It was still difficult to follow at times. That's why a lot of my physical training is sparrings. I try to come up with some things on my own. I try these things during the sparring, and Koro-sensei advised me on what I did right or wrong. Today wasn't any different, so now I was having a break.

Koro-sensei approached me.

Koro-sensei: "Looks like everything going good for you, Yuuki-kun."

Ryoto: "Better than ever. You know, I've decided to be the master of my fate, but now that I'm happy, I'm scared that I can only go down. Any advice?"

Koro-sensei didn't say anything but took a stick and started drawing on the ground. One line was in a wavy pattern, the second one was a line going down and then returning to a wavy pattern, and the last one was exactly the opposite of the second one.

Koro-sensei: "Life has its ups and downs, and it applies to everyone. To most, it looks like that."

He pointed at the first line.

Koro-sensei: "There are also unfortunate people who fell down and couldn't go up to the previous height and stayed down."

That was the second one.

Koro-sensei: "But they're also fortunate people or worked really hard to improve their lives."

That was the last line, but Koro-sensei crossed out all three lines.

Koro-sensei: "But that's a very shallow way of thinking on that topic. As you have said, everyone is the master of their own life. I like to think that if I could change into the teacher, I am today, then everyone can better themselves, but sometimes you need to meet a certain someone that helps you find or pushes you in the right way, and it looks like you found that certain someone that you're willing to be a better version of yourself for. Isn't that right, Yuuki-kun?"

I smiled.

Ryoto: "Thanks, Koro-sensei."

Koro-sensei: "One more thing. Remember that your past didn't happen to keep you down but to help you grow. Every experience is there to help you further down in life, even if it doesn't look like it. Trust your sensei on this one."

As my eyes widened and his words were repeating in my head, he put his tentacle on my head. 'Your past didn't happen to tie you down but to help you grow. While it sounds obvious, I never thought about it that way. I always tried to ignore the bad things in my life. I didn't do a good job at it, but I still tried. While I don't agree 100% with Koro-sensei on this one, I can acknowledge that there is some truth in it.

With newfound confidence in my decision, thanks to Koro-sensei, I started to get back to my training, but I noticed Sophia, who was taking pictures with a professional camera.

I didn't notice her, and neither did Koro-sensei as he flinched seeing her.

Ryoto: "Sophia, what are you doing here?"

Sophia: "I'm taking photos of you and Koro-sensei, of course!"

Ryoto: "But why?"

Sophia: "To document happy moments of your life, and as your big sister, it's my duty to do so!"

Koro-sensei quickly flew behind her to look at the photos.

Koro-sensei: "Do I look good in the photos!? I didn't blink in any of them, right!?"

Sophia: "Don't worry, don't worry, everything looks great!"

She said with a big smile. She seemed to enjoy acting as my big sister.

The first semester has ended, and our class is going on a summer vacation at an Okinawa island resort. Usually, we wouldn't be able to go there as we are class 3-E after all, but class 3-A made a bet with us, and we won. We got better scores than them.

Everyone got better grades this time around. Everyone besides Karma, that is. Even if he was still in the top 10 this time around, it was my turn to brag about being better, even in my worst subjects. Thanks to Lala's and Koro-sensei's tutoring, I was able to do that. Because we got first place in five subjects, we could cut off five of Koro-sensei's tentacles which would slow him down considerably. During the summer vacation, the class would use it to use it on the big assassinations attempt.

During that time, Lala became part of the class as she enrolled, thanks to Karasuma. To be honest, I didn't expect it, but the principal forbid me from using my eyes on the students. It seems that he saw me using them on Takaoka. A few things didn't change, however. One of these things was my nights with Lala. Still as wild and passionate as ever. The other thing was how nice and almost pitiful the teachers treated me. I still don't know why.

What was strange was that Shiro didn't try to assassinate Koro-sensei while we were playing in the river, so Terasaka is still against almost the whole class as we are close to the 'monster'. It feels like I robbed him of character development. Do I feel bad? A little. Do I regret my actions? No.

My training was going great as well. Besides the usual spar, I was also learning body language at my own request. My expertise is still not enough to use it all the time but depending on the person, and how focused I am, I could read some thing of people.

If I remember correctly, there will be some troubles, but I think I scared Takaoka off from attacking us this time. But we'll see how it plays out this time.
