Chapter 015: These Kids are Disrespectful

With her slightly above knee-length skirt safely tucked under her, Natasha marveled at the strange ability she had gotten again. It was first faster thoughts.

Then the ability to instinctively dodge and react to things a normal human shouldn’t.

That also came with what could only be superhuman physical characteristics, such as increased endurance, speed, clarity and—if she wasn’t wrong on her assumptions, regeneration and healing.

But this…

‘This is an entirely different ball park that I’m playing in, and… I’m not complaining, I’m definitely not complaining, this is sick…!’ Natasha’s lips curled, barely holding in a fit of laughter.

How could she not be excited!?

This was basically 360 degree vision, or “feeling” or was it instinct? Whatever it was, it was extremely beneficial and Natasha hoped that it wasn’t a one time thing.

It was a reasonable fear.

To her, such a marvelous sense was equivalent to the “instinct” that allowed her to dodge the Flame Monkey’s attacks—which were faster than her by a significantly large margin and would be impossible for a regular human girl to dodge at point blank.

And at the time, one where it was before all the gradual increase in physical ability by the Corastrum, she was a normal human girl.

‘Though my body did begin it’s change during that loop, the second, in full. And the third loop left it a bit ahead, as I sat around doing nothing but my perception during that time was unusually high as well and I could see very far… Hmm, is it related to my concept?’

While she mulled over this matter, she repeatedly checked the strange state of “vision” and noticed that she could switch to what senses she wanted to view from, like radio channels with modes for—sight, smell, touch and so on.

‘I’ll stop calling it strange vision and instead give it a common name; let’s say—Clairvoyance.’

After checking for a while, and noticing that the helpful Clairvoyance hadn’t gone away and wasn’t a figment of her desperate imagination, Natasha sighed.

‘I’m really a worry wart, and if it had disappeared, so what? What could I do? Be calm, be calm. Remember you died in the story, stay calm and be focused, we still aren’t out in the clear yet.’

However, judging by how the other things she obtained were, she could guess that this time would be no different.

This ability would be staying and she wouldn’t have to worry about losing out on another ticket to ensure both her and Leon’s safe removal from Death’s record book.

‘With that settled,’ Holding her heart, Natasha sighed and turned to the young girl, Sasha who now stared at her like a deer in headlights.

Natasha sighed again, and inwardly apologized before she said, “Please do not take unprompted photographs of my backside, this is very sensitive and makes me deeply uncomfortable.”

The girl's eyes widened at the accusation—that was in fact, not and was very much true. Seeing the seriousness in the older girls gaze, Sasha immediately tensed up and tried to defend herself…

“I-I didn’t… Okay, well I did but I didn’t want one of your butt, don’t misunderstand the situation…” She got quieter and quieter the more she spoke and her face turned red, with tears seeping out from the corner of both eyes.

Looking up and down, and then at her Tablet, she seemed to regain some bravery and tried to counter attack, “I-In the first place, what you said to those boys—”

“Shut.”

Natasha narrowed her already narrow eyes and the girl yelped, as if encountering a great beast.

She instantly cowered and shut her mouth. Wilting like a flower under the sun, she shook like a quall and didn’t even seem to have any energy to stammer.

Natasha’s voice was heavy and thick, like some tangy cream placed on food or some thick sauce eaten with bread.

It was not something just anyone could stand up to, and with her words slightly distorted between English, Russian and Japanese languages, especially the respective accents and tones that came with them—as well a some unnamed subjects—understanding her during bouts of anger or emotion was inconceivably difficult.

“If you want to take one, just ask and I might… Just might, indulge you. This is your first and final warning, may all be well…” Bowing like a proper girl and not a rotten stalker obsessed with a man, Natasha began to smoothly exit the scene.

Words trailed behind her, somewhat of a final parting;

“Also, this act of posting me on the school forum, cease this at once!”

With that she walked away…

Some time later, Natasha arrived at a door with no one on the outside and after checking again she breathed and then crouched down.

Her face was slightly red, and she hummed forcefully into her red-tipped hands—a sign of her deep blush, her fingers also blushed.

‘Ahhhh. Why did I speak like a person from the 1600s, am I crazy? Who even speaks like that nowadays… Okay, some of the British do, but I’m Russian-Japanese, not some fricking brit! Ugh, and my accent was so thick as well… Did she even understand what I was saying? Who knows if I spoke some words in Russian too… ’

If anyone asked her why she had spoken this way, she also wouldn’t know but in that moment, for some reason she had felt slightly angry.

Her ass wasn’t something anyone could see!

Her backside, and her front side, everything!

The reason was very obvious and didn’t need to be stated—Leon.

Only for one person, only for one person! She was very loyal, and exhibited an extremely strict take on this matter.

Every step she took and every dress, or tight “booty short”-like jeans she wore was calculated days in advance and only for his eye. She was very, very meticulous, doing everything and anything.

—Through this, it was clear that she wasn’t great in the upstairs department, but Natasha didn’t find anything wrong with seeing herself like this…

When she arrived at this school, she had taken special measures to not have pictures taken and while there were some “I can do whatever I want” people that didn’t seem to understand.

Natasha, taking on the role of a good teacher, made sure to instruct them on the rules of being a decent human being. Needless to say, she beat them up, and deleted their stuff.

Quietly of course...

After crouching for a while, Natasha got up, smoothed her skirt and cleared the throat. It has always felt clogged, likely due to her pronunciation but since she was used to it, she just moved on.

‘Now it’s was time to face the beast, not to mention I have to check if that forum post is still up, ugh! These ignorant first years!’ Natasha, who had basically transferred in and was just barely before the first years, thought harshly.

Just as she was about to open the door, she felt her phone start to vibrate and her heart leapt.

When she took a look, her heart settled and a small amount of happiness bloomed.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

[Leon: We spent some time shaking off the Earth Hippo, but we’re near the auditorium. We’ll be there in 5 minutes tops.]

[Ivanova(You): Okay! I’m already there.]

‘Isn’t this like saying “I’ll be home soon”, hehe…’ Natasha engaged in delusional thoughts.

[Mirai: HOLY SHIT!! Natasha your ass is on the school forum!!]

[Leon: ???]

[Yuki: WHAT?? shocked.jpeg]

‘So she really posted it…’

Natasha’s eyebrows raised to her head, and she immediately went onto the school forum via the school app—MIA Tutelage.

After searching for a while, while waiting for her phone to stop buffering, she finally saw the post…

To put it bluntly, the situation was confusing.

Sabrina Ghandha (2nd-Year) ↪ Replying to Sasha Fernandez (1st-year) Ignoring those two upstairs. Take it down, it CAN be seen as unsolicited sexual material or blatant privacy breach, although her backside isn’t even showing fully and is covered by the long skirt, but that doesn’t matter in regards to keeping student safety. The forum rules are lenient, but they aren’t so lenient as to not strike this down.

There is also the fact that the person in question, is very VERY sensitive about her pictures appearing here.

Also, if you think this doesn’t affect you, some posts on here can get you demerits and be marked on your student profile.

Nakamura Saki (1st-year) ↪ Replying to Sabrina Ghandha (2nd-Year) Why? I read the rule book and although random photographs are considered “rude behavior” it doesn’t say anywhere that it’s punishment or lack thereof, could grant a demerit of any kind…

Tanaka Mio (2nd-Year) ↪ Replying to Nakamura Saki (1st-year) It’s less the rules involved and more the person this situation is centered around. Natasha, she’s… She’s a complicated person.

Honestly, I hope she doesn’t see this.

Takahashi Mirai (2nd-Year) ↪ Replying to Sakuragi Yuki (2nd-Year) YUKI?? Stop trying to make it worse… She didn’t even post her ass here, the school AI recognition isn’t good but it rejects inappropriate photographs like 70% of the time, so this isn’t one. I think...

@Natasha Ivanova Don’t take her words to heart…

Natasha Ivanova (2nd-year) ↪ Replying to Takahashi Mirai (2nd-Year) I don’t care. We have other things to do,

@Sasha Fernandez Stop staring at the device and look ahead, I swear you’ll get yourself killed like this.

Natasha turned off her phone, took a deep breath and then opened it again to search for something. As she sat on the ground, she scratched her head in annoyance.

‘I swear, while I was running for my life all of you were on the forum having the time of you’re lives huh? Not caring about your life and death, still cheering and hollering like idiots…’

With gritted teeth, and furrowed brows she clicked on the post linked by Ryan Evans, one of the football players on their team and someone who was somewhat within Leon’s inner circle.

‘Already impressive, considering how massive that circle is in the first place.’

With renewed vigor at likely being able to get reliable information from a somewhat reliable sources Natasha aimed to find out what this video was all about.

⟪***⟫

[Video POST] What the HELL is THAT??

Antonia Martinez [Thread Starter] HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT, guys what the fuck just passed by here bro??

[Attached Video]

⟪***⟫

‘Impressive, he didn’t misspell a single word, despite apparent panic. Now, which one did he meet? The Earth Hippo or the Flame Monkey?’ While internally mourning anyone unfortunate to encounter the later Natasha clicked the video.

[The audio was relatively clear but had a few edges that were particularly grating.

“Holy shit, holy shit…” A boys voice, covered by a hand said in terror as the phone pointed outside the window. “What the fuck, what the fuck bro...”

In the surrounding area, and in the corner of the phone screen, there were many other students that could be seen either; crying, looking blankly outside the window or bitterly trying to hold in their screams.

The wind picked up, and through the clear screen one could recognize a red figure in the shape of a mammal of some sort. It;s mane was both red and white, with black scleroses and red eyes, though they were unclear. It’s body was covered in red engravings and cloud swirls, looking utterly majestic and dangerous.

It looked the part of a creature from a story, and unfortunately, its power didn’t lack behind it’s appearance at all.

However, while it’s gaze passed by the students, it moved away in another direction; sniffing and sending fireballs in places and ways not reminiscent of an unintelligent creature.

It looked to be… searching.

Westward.]

West.

‘It’s going west...’

Natasha closed the video with a heavy heart.

‘Fuck.’
