Edea: Hero Summoning Conspiracy Chapter 14: Quirky Genius

.

Kyouko was unusually nervous when she looked at Kazuya inside her car. This was his first day at his new school and he was now wearing the uniform for the elentary students. He may not rember it but he once failed the entrance exam for this school before he lost his mory. Because of his results now, Kyouko thought that Kazuya had failed on purpose just to avoid going to the sa school as Lee.

"Are you sure you don't need to co with you?" Kyouko looked at him with concern.

"No need. Look, theres a teacher waiting by the building. He's probably waiting for like they said" he pointed at the teacher searching the students entering for a new face.

"Okay then. What about picking you up?"

"Didn't you say that grandpa Jirou already offered to take back?"

"You've decided to join their dojo?"

"Not yet. I'll try it out for a while before I decide. I don't know if I'll even end up liking kendo. You can just focus on work and I'll call or mail you if there is anything"

"You promise?"

"I promise" He waved happily at his mother that was still reluctant to leave. He was always happy to oblige whenever she wanted to dote on him and they grew especially closer during the weekend especially since i had been tied up in her own affairs.

"Are you the new student?" The stern looking man asked as he examined him from head to toe.

"Yes. I am Kouzuki Kazuya" he politely introduced himself.

"Follow to the elentary departnt's faculty room. It's easy to get lost in this place" He led the way. Kazuya already studied and morized the map of the elentary departnt but he appreciated the gesture.

He was asked to sit on the couch inside the faculty room as the stern man called out to his colleagues. Kazuya recognized one of them, a young teacher who went all the way to the hospital so he could take a special exam designed for transfer students.

"Is that him?" they asked the girl. She imdiately nodded and they quickly gathered around to introduce themselves to Kazuya.

He found out that the stern man was the head of the elentary school departnt. It was odd that a man in his position would wait and receive him but the culprit turned out to be his exam results. The exam had been designed to be several levels above the level any transfer student would be enrolling in so it was rare for a student to actually successfully transfer to the academy. Kazuya's results were in the league of their own since he was able to successfully answer all the questions correctly.

Not being able to retain the mories of his childhood, Kazuya did not think that the test was designed like that and rely answered everything quietly. He found it strange that the examiner was looking at him in a strange way since she ca to the hospital but neither of them expected this kind of outco.

"(Of course the exams that were a few levels above mine were a piece of cake. I was already studying professional level subjects together preparing for the university big sis wanted to go to but couldn't even before I entered high school!)" he sighed. Due to the playbacks of his mories, he was now an expert on all the things he studied before he was summoned to Edea.

"Alright everyone settle down. I believe that all of you are anxious to know whose class he will be joining. We've decided that he will be joining Ono-sensei's A class due to his academic potential" the person beside the stern man who identified himself as the departnt's vice director spoke.

The horoom teachers of each second-grade classes expected this result and could only sigh. Kazuya on the other hand turned towards his supposed horoom teacher and his gaze turned sharp. It was a well-dressed man who looked like an elite. He recognized this person from his previous life but not in a good way.

Ono Masahiro, an ambitious teacher that graduated from a good university. Kazuya rembered this person because he treated the regular students like disposables. In his eyes, anyone who garnered great results as the only ones worth educating. He is an arrogant and ambitious man who was a middle school teacher back when Kazuya had reached middle school.

His looks and deanor were just a facade. His target was to move up the ranks to teach in the high school departnt. This teacher treated him like air which he really had no problems with but that was only until he had discovered this guy's secret. Kazuya had stumbled upon him secretly peeping at middle school girls changing.

Yes, he was a pervert. A pervert who had threatened to get him expelled if he ever spoke a word of what he saw to anyone else. Kazuya had no other choice but to comply since this person was backed up by an uncle of his who was the head of the high school departnt at the ti. He was eventually fired because of his harassnt towards a colleague which was covered up by the school.

"Pardon for interrupting but can I say sothing? (Like I'm going to let this sleaze ball use as in his ambitions!)" the teachers turned towards him wondering why he had spoken at such a ti.

"What is it Kouzuki-kun? Do you have any problems with this arrangent?" the man introduced as elentary departnt's second in command asked curiously.

"I've read through the system the academy uses and I wonder if I could be assigned to B class instead"

"Oh? Why do you say so?"

"I have no interest in joining the academic class to be honest. I recently joined the Shitoyuki dojo and plan on joining this school's kendo club with the intent of taking the national championship. You can confirm this with grandpa Jirou" he explained. He hoped that this would be enough to convince them to let him move to another class.

He threw Jirou's na in the mix and hoped that they wouldn't confirm it since that guy would be ecstatic to hear the good news. His declaration however had an imdiate effect as the departnt head himself crossed his arms and started to think. The guy nad Ono Masahiro was nervous since he tried hard to convince many people to suggest that Kazuya be placed in his class.

"Kouzuki-kun have you talked to your parents about this? I believe they would consider your future more important than your current interest in such activities" Ono confidently interjected and imdiately invoked the ire of those responsible for sports related clubs and studies.

"With all due respect, please do not assu to know what my parents think without actually asking them. I'm only suggesting to be placed in B class because I believe that it will be a good place for to grow because joining a class that focuses on academics in this grade would only be detrintal for in my opinion" Kazuya knew this sneaky guy was trying to put doubt into his earlier words. He imdiately countered this and although he did put a smile on those involved in sports clubs, this petty guy's mind was triggered.

"You…" Ono clenched his fists and tried to calm himself. He turned to the departnt head "Sir are you really considering this boy's opinion? He may be a genius but isn't he being too arrogant?" Ono sneered and went to his superiors so that he could get them to argue with him instead.

"Arrogant?" his gaze sharply turned towards Ono. "I can currently speak four different languages and would already have been studying in a university in Arica if I didn't choose to stay here with my mother. I suggested to be in B class because I wanted to be treated as normal student since my mother emphasized my necessity of learning about social interactions. I would have asked to be moved to S class otherwise" Kazuya imdiately replied. He didn't want to argue with the departnt heads since their loss would just make him burry himself deeper.

"S class? With just you?" Ono snickered.

"I'm the son of Kouzuki Kyouko and the heir to the Kouzuki Corporation. If that's not enough then should I also inform you that I am the grandson of the current head of the Kurogane Conglorate. So… do you think I'm being humble or arrogant?" he dropped a bombshell which left the teachers' mouths gaping. They stole glances at Ono who started trembling. Who could bla him? These two powerful entities were more than enough to move the country. What was a re teacher to do if they invoked their wrath through their decendant?

Everyone turned to the girl who had been his examiner for confirmation. She nodded at them to confirm his statents. She honestly did not have any expectations when she was sent to a hospital for a transfer candidate. What surprised her however was not the seemingly normal boy but his mother who was featured in various magazines and articles as the head of the illustrious Kouzuki Corporation. Kyouko was an idol for won in the business world since she does stand in line with the most powerful n in the business industry.

Sacred Forest Academy's S class is a class for students with special identities. They were usually made up of individuals such as idols, musicians, and the likes whose class attendance to be affected by their status. They were still required to take their studies seriously and special exams were made for them but they were not bound by rules such as mandatory attendance.

"Alright. You have convinced . I respect your decision. It just so happens the head of B class is also the coach for our Kendo club. I leave him in your hands Miyamoto-sensei" the departnt head smiled. He didn't accede to his request because of his special status but was rather impressed by his reason and intentions. He too did not agree with Ono's philosophy of only finding worth in academic results.

"Thank you for understanding and I apologize if I have sounded sowhat rude. My mother always reprimands because she says that the way I speak tends to irritate people hence, my necessity to interact with people more to better understand how they feel" he added.

The teachers imdiately placated him and understood, Even Ono's enmity was greatly reduced. They were teachers of this famous academy and knew that geniuses would always have a few quirks which made them different from others. They all surmised that one of Kazuya's was his inability to empathize hence invoking ire whenever he explains his logic.

"I'll be looking forward to hearing about your progress in this year's kendo competition, Kouzuki Kazuya. The tournant should be soon so I hope you're prepared to participate in it right away" the departnt head patted his shoulder.

"I will not disappoint your expectations. In the individual matches anyway" the staff room was filled with laughs. They all found his bluntness to be cute and his response when faced with uncertainty even more so.

"Then I shall await the good news"

"Oh I have one more request if everyone doesn't mind" he turned their heads once again. The boy always had sothing interesting to say so they all listened.

"Speak"

"Please keep my identity a secret from everyone who doesn't know. I do not want to be treated nicely because of it. I would rather have people who get along with naturally than those who are only nice to because I was born in my family" This was i's suggestion.

"Alright. Anyone here found to be disclosing this information will have to answer to . Understand?" Everyone imdiately agreed.

The teachers had a very good first impression of Kazuya. He was unlike most of the geniuses or children of influential families who were arrogant. They were jealous of Miyamoto Shinichi, the horoom teacher who he had been assigned to.

"Let's go Kouzuki-kun. I'll show you where the classroom is and introduce you to everyone" Miyamoto gave him a smile and led him out of the staff room.

"Please take care of from now on Miyamoto-sensei" he gave a polite bow.

The two left the staffroom and headed for the classrooms. Miyamoto Shinichi felt excited since a student as smart as Kazuya joined his class. He wanted him to be a good influence on the kids who wanted nothing more than just to go to their clubs.

"Oh Kazuya-kun I'm just confirming but when you ntioned 'grandpa Jirou', you ant Shiroyuki Jirou-sama correct?"

"Yeah. That's grandpa Jirou. Miyamoto-sensei is the kendo club's coach, right?"

"I am. Which class did Shiroyuki-sama put you in his dojo?"

"Class?"

"He didn't assign you under soone yet?"

"No, he said that I can choose to train however I wanted to"

'This… (Free reign over his own training? Does Shiroyuki-sama thinking that this boy isn't worth training?)" he imdiately doubted Kazuya's skill since the Shiroyuki dojo's system was incorporated into the academy's class system.

"What's wrong sensei?"

"N-nothing. I was just thinking of how to introduce you to the class" he replied as they stopped in front of a classroom. "wait here and enter once I call you" he entered and hurriedly slid the door close since he wanted to surprise his class.

"(I should have known….)" he sighed as his keen vision imdiately recognized Shiroyuki Tomoyo and her signature expression before the door was closed.

He lanted his fate. She was indeed an upperclassman when he first t her in his previous life but without him being held back, he was indeed placed in the sa grade. What made things worse, in order to avoid that perverted teacher, he basically volunteered himself to be in the sa class as the robot girl.

"You can co in now" Miyamoto's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"(ignore it, ignore it, ignore it)" he chanted in his mind as he entered.

Like he predicted, Tomoyo's gaze imdiately locked onto him as soon as he entered the classroom. He pretended not to notice and wrote his na neatly on the board before facing his classmates while trying to ignore the gaze that was begging to be recognized at this point.

"Please introduce yourself"

"My na is Kouzuki Kazuya. I'll be joining class B as of today. Pleased to et your acquaintance"
