《Different》Chapter 17 - Headteacher
Advertisement
He stood there in shock for a couple of moments. He was still confused how this had happened, but if their was one thing he knew for sure, it was that this wasn't the first time he had unexpectedly vanished from one location and appeared in another. Maybe there was some sort of trigger to it.
Soro closed his eyes and began picturing a location in his mind for a couple of seconds, he then opened his eyes and looked around. It was no use, he was still in the same place as usual, which meant he couldn't control it. After finally giving up he climbed over the gate of the school, due to it being locked during lesson times.
["Alright I need to find Takimi first"]
He walked over to the main entrance and opened it. Normally the corridor would be filled with students skipping class to be on their phone, but this time no students were there, the only person around was Soro and a extraordinary tall man with short yellow hair. He had a large and wide figure, similar to one a superhero in a comic would usually have. He stood still with his arms crossed as he glared directly at Soro.
Everyone in the entire school could feel the pressure in which he gave off. He was no ordinary man, because the man standing in front of Soro was in fact the head teacher. He was in power of the very grounds they both stood on as well as everything above it. The only problem was, Soro had never seen him before.
The head teacher was a private man, he rarely walked around the hallways unless it was to head to his office or to leave the school. Most of the time he would order staff members around to get the things he needed. It was rumored that he had never spoken to a student once. Soro could either consider himself being extremely lucky or extremely unfortunate.

However he didn't consider anything, as stated before Soro had no idea who he was nor did he even care. He was here to see Takimi, Akame and Yugo, that was final. He began walking forwards and went passed the head teacher. A sudden rumble rang in his ears as soon as he went passed him. It was like hundreds of tiny toothpicks had hit his eardrums.
"Soro Matako!"
The mans voice was heard across the entire hallway. Soro shivered slightly and turned around to face him.
"Yes ?"
The man spoke once again, however this time his voice wasn't as loud as before.
"May I see you in my office ?"
Soro slightly tilted his head.
"May I ask who you are ?"
The man walked over to Soro, the heels on his shoes were digging onto the floor with every step. He then proceeded to slide his hand into one of his pockets as he took out a card. He held it in the air so Soro could see it.
["Let's see here"]
Soro began reading it as followed.
{Name: Kosuke Tatsuo}
{Occupation: Head Teacher}
{Ma-------: }
Soro stopped reading it for a moment.
["Wait....wait what ?"]
He read the second line again.
{Occupation: Head Teacher}
["Oh sh*t......."]
He slowly raised his head up to look at Kosuke directly in the face.
"Uh...where is your office ?"
Kosuke raised his left arm and pointed towards a door straight ahead of him. Soro turned around and began walking towards it. Kosuke followed moments later. Once they both reached inside Kosuke took his suit jacket off and sat down across Soro. He took a deep breath as he placed his hands on the table between both of them.
"Alright now that's out of the way we can have a proper discussion"

His voice was a lot lighter than before, it was as though he had completely calmed down in an instant. Soro couldn't help but question him on it.
"Erm...excuse me but weren't you angry at me ?"
Kosuke chuckled.
"Haha of course not. You see as the head teacher I have to seem like a terrifying person for students, if theirs one thing that makes you respect someone it's fear"
"Then how comes you're acting normal now ?"
"Well let's just say I've taken interest in you"
["I'm straight dude"]
Kosuke seemed like a completely different person, his entire persona had changed. He seemed like a somewhat like-able person now.
"I've seen camera footage of the little confrontation you had with some of your seniors"
["Where is this going ?"]
Kosuke leaned back on the chair he was sitting on.
"Now normally if something like this happened it would be my responsibility to have you heavily punished, however I have decided to let you choose what happens from here on out"
"What do you mean ?"
Kosuke cleared his throat before speaking.
"You see theirs this new 'school' that's recently opened up in the country for people with supernatural abilities like you. It mostly serves to help young people find a purpose for their newly developed abilities. The 'school' is quite far away however for your sake I will provide the necessary funds you will need to get their, as well as living expenses. Sounds like a good deal doesn't it ? What do you say ?"
That was a lot to take in for Soro. He had just met the man and now he was offering him a whole new world of opportunities free of cost. It sounded too good to be true. Soro was a little curious of him and this 'school' he spoke of. I mean it had only been around three weeks since the night of the rainfall, how would they be able to build a school that fast ?
"What if I refuse to go ?"
"Well then you would most likely be detained and sent to juvenile prison for several years. On top of that, if the seniors you beat half to death were to press charges you would most likely be fined with a great sum. Failure to pay that off will most likely lead to your sentence being extended. I would assume that's only the gist of it. Anymore questions ?"
Soro was completely shook. He knew that he had injured them but it was all in self defense. They had injured him too, and their had to be proof of that. Soro slightly lifted his shirt up to look for any scars or evidence of him being attacked, but there was none. It was as if all that pain he felt from being constantly hit was just an illusion.
["How is this possible ? How long has it been for me to have recovered completely ?"]
"Can I ask how long it's been since that incident ?"
"Ah yes, you probably don't remember since you were unconscious. From the day of the incident up until now its been......4 months.
