(MC POV)
"I know this might be sudden, but we have another transfer student today…" Our horoom teacher announced when everyone had settled down.
One of the boys in front imdiately raised his hand, "Is the transfer student a girl?"
Our horoom teacher sighed, "Yes, she's a girl."
The boys in our class imdiately erupted into cheers and high-fives, a stark contrast to the groans that I had heard when I had transferred here.
"You can co in now," The teacher called out, prompting the door to slide open again.
Tsuki and I already knew who it was so we were the only ones who didn't show much reaction when Lian Li walked through the door with practiced grace.
Similar to what happened with the Takeda boy and his bodyguards, everyone in the room was stunned by her beauty, a few of them even had their jaws opened comically.
Lian Li stopped beside the teacher and bowed her head, "Good morning everyone, my na is Lian Li. My mother is a foreigner but I was born and raised here. Due to family circumstances, I had to transfer here as a student. I look forward to learning with you all."
The teacher nodded at her introduction before pointing to the seat that had mysteriously appeared behind , "You can take a seat there behind our dear Onii-san of the class. You two are related as well aren't you?"
Even the teacher too? Is there anyone around here that doesn't refer to as the 'brother'?
My disciple nodded her head, "We're distantly related cousins."
So of the boys groaned, though I don't know why.
Our teacher smiled at her, "That's good then. Then go ahead and take your seat."
Lian Li made the slow walk towards , not minding the fact that everyone else in the class was still staring at her.
I thought she would just sit down straight away but she stopped beside and said in a voice loud enough for the rest of the class to hear.
"Nii-sama. Please take care of in school as well."
I reached up and patted her head, "Of course."
That small interaction seed to cause most of the boys to fall into despair, so of them faceplanting onto the table and crying.
Hmm… This is just a normal interaction between cousins right? Why are they so upset?
Oh well, none of my business.
My disciple took the seat behind and class began as normal, if you count the occasional classmates glancing behind to peek at Lian Li as normal of course.
Heck, I even saw Aoki turning back to glance at my disciple a few tis, as though she couldn't understand how Lian Li got there.
Soon enough, the bell signaling the end of the lesson had rung and the class started the age-old tradition of surrounding the new student to bombard them with questions.
Since her table was right behind mine, the area around started to get crowded so I escaped to Tsuki's table where her friends were also gathered around.
Unlike , who most of the class already knew from Tsuki and also from seeing wait at the school gate everyday, Lian Li was soone completely new to them which sparked their curiosity even more.
"Well… Now I know what the fuss this morning was about…" Nishimura sighed, the baseball ace eyeing the crowd at the back of the class.
Tsuki grinned, "Our cousin's really pretty isn't she? Even I was quite surprised when I first saw her."
Yeah, surprised to find her inside a crystal prison that is.
Fujiwara whistled, "No kidding... I'd kill to have my hair like hers. Maybe if I ask, she'll tell what conditioner she uses?"
Maeda turned to look at , "You never ntioned about a cousin, Onii-san?"
"Well… Between you and , I didn't know about her until recently either. I did so checks but she really is my cousin," I lied.
Normally people would question more about this, but I made sure everyone was more accepting of this fact with a few reality bending techniques I did.
At first I considered only limiting it to the school but I thought why the hell not and just did it on the entire world instead, just in case we ever go overseas.
Maeda nudged , "So… You have two beautiful girls living under the sa roof with you, must be nice, eh?"
I shrugged, "I can't deny the perks of it, both of them are really cute after all. Just by seeing them every morning heals my heart."
The girls giggled at my answer while Tsuki desperately tried to find a way to change the topic.
Tsuki glanced at the crowd around Lian Li, "Umm… Aniue. I think you should go rescue Lian Li Onee-sama soon…"
They've already questioned her for a good fifteen minutes.
Right, I think I made Lian Li suffer enough so I made my way towards the group.
"So… What kind of guys do you like, Lian Li-san?" I heard one of the girls ask.
"Eh? Umm… I like… Umm… I don't know…"
"Oh? I know that look. That ans Lian Li-san has soone in mind already, don't you?"
I couldn't see what Lian Li did but the next mont the girls were going 'Kyaa, kyaa' while the boys lowered their heads in disappointnt so I assud she affird the other girl's words.
Well, I've been with her long enough to know who that 'soone' was. Guess even without her mories, love is still instinctive I guess, as sappy as that might sound.
I chose that mont to step in.
"Alright, alright. I think you guys have interrogated my cousin enough."
"Nii-sama…" Lian Li called out to in relief.
Our classmates made a few polite noises to her and returned to their seats, leaving Lian Li and I alone.
I smiled wryly, "Sorry, but you know how it is."
My disciple shook her head, "No, I understand. Everyone likes new things after all, especially new gossip. Was Mas… Ummm… Was Nii-sama subjected to this too?"
"Nah, Tsuki took away before they could and besides, they already know since I co to pick up Tsuki everyday."
"Must be nice…"
I was about to ask her what she ant when I felt the stir of power in the air and the air beca filled with the presence of Quarks.
Looking away, I realised that everyone in the room had stopped moving except for Lian Li, Tsuki and myself. The colours of everything that was frozen had also beco more saturated, as though we were looking at the world through so kind of filter.
Tsuki stood up from her seat, looking to for help.
"What's going on Aniue?"
I didn't have the chance to answer her when I felt Lian Li tugging on my arm desperately.
"Master… What's that thing outside…"
Shifting my sights again, I instantly spotted the thing Lian Li was pointing at.
A giant black ball that was similar to the eyeball monster that I fought inside the dungeon was floating outside the school.
How the hell did this thing co here?!
