《ɪɴꜰᴇʀɴᴏ • ᴋᴏᴋɪᴄʜɪ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ》Chapter 2

Advertisement

As we keep on walking, we come across another door. We thought it wouldn't open like the rest but to our surprise, it did. And when we stepped in, there seemed to be two other new people we have yet to meet.

"Ah, a dining hall?" I say

"I guess so, makes this place feel more like a school!" Kaede answers. We decide to walk over to this one girl first. She has long green hair that seems to be in two ponytails (?). She had green eyes and was wearing this blue outfit. She looked pretty cool to me!

"HAAAAAAIYAAAAAAHHH!!!!"

"Huh!?" Kaede panicked

"I'm yelling so I can build up my spirit energy! Don't you know you can unlock your brain's full potential by yelling to build up spirit energy!? The girl yelled

"Ah, I've heard that pro athletes do that. It's supposed to help you focus..." Shuichi chimed in

"I must be prepared for combat at all times, just in case someone tries to attack me! I will protect myself with Neo-Aikido!" The girl put her hands up in defence,

"Aikido? Then, you're—" I was cut off by her speaking again

"Oh, yes! I'm Tenko Chabashira! HAIYAHH!! The Ultimate Aikido Master!" She spoke proudly

"Woahhh!! An Aikido Master!? That's so cool! I've always imagined aikido masters to be huge, burly guys, but you're so cute!" I saw in awe,

"C-Cute!?" Tenko got flustered all of a sudden and looked away. "aaah...sstop iit....I....I'm not...cute...My face crinkles when I suck down a shake...And when I wipe my face, my eyelids turn inside-out."

"Oh umm, I see....we'll I think you're cute. Right, Kaede?" I ask, turning to the blonde.

"Yeah totally!" She replied. Shuichi just stood there awkwardly beside us. After a slight pause, Shuichi spoke up.

"Ah, by the way...what is this Neo-Aikido you mentioned?" He asks

"Neo-Aikido is an original form of aikido that my master and I completely made up ourselves!"

Ooo, so her aikido is all self-taught !

Tenko and I talked a bit more about her aikido, hopefully she considers me a friend now..! Moving on, Shuichi suggested we go talk to the other girl in the room. And so I told Tenko i'd talk to her later, and we all walked to the other girl. She was wearing a witch hat, and she has short red hair.

"Nyeeeh...So are we stuck here?" The short girl asked

"Yeah...that's what it looks like..." kaede responds, a hint of sadness in her voice, not for long though. "But don't be scared, I'm sure we'll be out of this place in a jiffy!"

"I'm...not scared. It's just a pain. Something like this won't make me panic. Cuz...I'm a mage."

"A mage?"

"Hm...that's right. I haven't told you guys yet. Prepare to be amazed. Fall to your knees. I am Himiko Yumeno, the Ultimate Mage." Her voice sounded kind of blunt and...boring. Not much emotion. There was a long awkward pause after she introduced herself. Then she spoke up again. "But...I'm officially called the Ultimate Magician."

"Ohhh, so you're a magician. You should've said that from the start." I say. "I mean, it makes sense though. Since magic doesn't exist." But instantly when I said that, himiko's whole expression changed into a sad one. I started to feel bad. Maybe I shouldn't have said that..

"Nyeeeeh...magic does exist. Because...I am a mage."

"You're just a magician, right..?" I ask

"Only on paper...I'm known as a magician, but that's just a ruse. I am actually...a mage."

"Just a ruse?" Shes....probably lying.

"You guys might not know them, but...there's a group called the Magic Castle. Also known as the Hall of magicians, it's where the world's magic lovers gather. I was the youngest person to ever win their magician of the year award." She explained

"That's pretty cool." I say

"It's all a ruse, they're keeping my magic a secret by disguising it as tricks." She seemed to be frustrated. "Because of this ruse, I became famous all over the world for preforming tricks. But....I'm not a magician...I'm a mage....nobody believes me..." she sniffled through her last sentence.

"There, there, don't be sad..." Kaede comforted her.

"Well, you could show us your magic. Then we would believe you..." Shuichi said

"Oh, that's right! Help us out with your magic!" I suggest "take us back to when we originally—"

"Magic isn't all-powerful... I can only do so much."

"Oh uh, I see. Then...what can you do?"

"I can choose the card you picked, pull out coins and release doves...Nyeeeh...if I get serious, I can even saw someone in half."

But those are just ordinary magic tricks?

After talking with Himiko for a bit more. I decided I was going to go explore some more, while Kaede and Shuichi stayed in the dining hall. I'll admit i was a bit nervous, going off by myself. But if I didn't leave I would've fallen asleep listening to Himiko talk. I walked through the halls again for a bit and I come across another door. It seemed to be a warehouse. This time there was only one other person there. She was blonde too, and wore a pink outfit with a bunch of accessories.

"Dammit... Where the hell is it?" She said. She was rummaging through a shelf filled with different chemicals.

"Hey, what are you looking for?" I ask

"Don't sneak up on me, bitch!" She must've been startled by me, my mistake..

"Oh right, sorry if I surprised you—"

"Hey you've got some nice tits! Smaller than mine but they suit you—"

"What the fuck.." I say, kinda surprised. Why the hell is she looking at my tits?

"Heeeeee! Wh-what the hell...are you gettin' pissed off at me for?" She suddenly seemed..different. In a way I can't explain. "Tell the world you're sorry. If you startle me into losing motivation, that loss will be felt across the whole world!"

"Um...sure whatever. Who are you anyway?"

"Huh? S-seriously? You don't...know who I am? I'm the gorgeous girl genius whose good looks and golden brain will go down in history! I'm the one, the only, the legendary Ultimate Inventor herself—Miu Iruma!"

"Well you sure seem confident, what kind of things do you invent?" I asked her

"I make all kinds of gadgets—ones that let you type while you sleep, read while you sleep...Even ones that let you eat while you sleep."

"Why does it all involve sleeping..?"

"I was inspired after I realized how much time people waste on sleep. Though, this one time I invented these really stupid eyedrop contact lenses as a gag."

"Wait, really!? That's your invention? Some of my friends wear them!"

"Psh! Your friends sound like total plebs! That invention was nothing! It doesn't make you more productive while you sleep, so it was a failure! Just like you! I signed the patent rights over to some company and never looked back."

"Hey don't insult my friends you fuckin whore." I say a little pissed. I just met this girl and here she is not only calling me names but my friends names too!?

"Heeeee!! S-sorry. Are we cool....? Are you...some being mad at me?" She pouted, probably faking. But nonetheless, I told her I wasn't mad at her anymore and left her to do her own thing while I try to find other people.

——

Ive been walking around the hallways for about 15 minutes now. Geez I hope I didn't get lost. I found my way across another big door. I'm assuming it's the gym but when I go to open it. It wouldn't open. Suddenly I get this huge wave of a deja vu feeling. But...that's weird? Ive never been here before..have I? I sigh as I move away from the door. No matter how hard i try, it won't open. So I continue my journey by myself to find other ultimates.

Another 5 minutes pass by and I finally find stairs. Just as I got to the second floor, I see another person! Great. She seemed to have long blue hair with glasses. I run up to her, attempting to have a talk with her.

"Hey, you're an ultimate student, right? Can we talk—"

"Ummmmm" that's...all she said? Did she not hear me? Oh god this is so embarrassing.

"Uh, hellooo?" I wave my hand in front of her face, maybe I would catch her attention.

"Ummmmmmmm" huh..? Still can't hear me...should I just walk away..? No..that would be embarrassing. So instead..I poked one of her cheeks.

Ooo so squishy and soft!! But...she still hasn't noticed me?

So I poked her other cheek and stared at her for a bit. Unexpectedly, she started talking.

"I never thought I'd be poked from both sides. How truly unexpected."

"AH!?" I yell and I jumped back. I was not prepared for that..

"Ah, sorry about that. I was in deep thought so..I thought if I ignored you, you'd go somewhere else." She said calmly, looking the other direction. She hasn't once made eye contact with me.

"Oh uh, isn't that a bit rude?" I mumble quietly, but not quiet enough because she heard me.

"Ummm, we'll isn't it rude to force someone to talk when they don't want to? Oh, but it's fine. I feel like talking now. Now, let's talk. What do you want to start with? My favourite Doraemon episode is #53. The one with security cameras and target practice." Geez, she suddenly became all talkative.

"Uh, before you talk about that, what's ur name?" I ask

"Oh, my name is Tsumugi Shirogane. I'm the Ultimate Cosplayer."

"Ah, that's cool! I've always wanted to try cosplay, but never got the chance to." As soon as I said that she bombarded me with questions. Like which anime's I've watched, who I wanted to cosplay, who's my favourite character, etc.

So Tsumugi and I talked about that for a bit. I must admit, it was nice to finally be able to talk to someone who has the same interests as me. But after I while I left and continued to try and find the rest of the people.

Eventually I found another unlocked classroom, and when I entered it, there was 2 other people.

"Heeeyy! Wait for mee!"

"Please stop! Don't come any closer!"

There was a guy with purple hair, wearing white clothes and a checkered scarf. He seemed to be chasing another...robotic looking person? What's going on

"C'moooon! Wait up! Lemme touch your body a little! I've always wanted to be friends with a robot!" The purple haired guy shouted

"A robot?" I say, he's probably talking about the other person.

"...what is it? Are you...another robophobe!? I have a recording function. If you make any robophobic remarks, I will see you in court."

When the white haired robot said that so seriously, I couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Hey! Stop laughing at me. I am K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot! But please, address me as Keebo!"

"Ultimate robot, huh? Pretty cool!" I say

"That's not faaaair! You can't be the only one who gets to show off!" The other purple haired boy complained. "I'll introduce myself, too!"

"Oh alright then, go ahead"

"I am Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader!" He seemed pretty proud. But..a robot and a supreme leader? Neither of them make sense..

"What about you?" Keebo turned to me, I'm guessing he wants me to introduce myself as well.

"Oh, I'm Y/n L/n, the Ultimate Fire Dancer ! Heh.." I say a bit embarrassed. I don't know why I was so embarrassed, both of their stares just felt...pressuring.

"Is that why you're wearing those slutty clothes?" Kokichi asked

"At least mine are better than yours." I reply. There was a small pause before he spoke up again. "Anyway, I learned the hard way that a robot's breath smells like gasoline."

"My breath does not smell like gasoline! I am powered by electricity!" Keebo defended himself.

"Nishishi...I'm just kidding." Kokichi out his arms behind his head, with a huge smile plastered on his face.

"...you're not funny." Keebo said

"Of course you don't think I'm funny. Robots can't understand human humor to begin with!"

"D-Don't mock me! I have studied the complete history of stand-up comedy! Plus, I may have the appearance of a robot, but I am a high school student just like you."

"You're a high school student..?" I asked, and Keebo then went on about his life story and how he IS a high school student.

"Hey, do robots have dicks?" Kokichi asked randomly

"..."

I started laughing as Keebo got all nervous, but I figured it was rude to laugh, so I tried to stop as much as I could. After I stopped, I decided to ask Kokichi a question.

"Hey, Kokichi? I don't really understand your Ultimate Supreme Leader talent.." as soon as I said that Kokichi came up close to my face, and I already knew I was started to get red.

"...Oh. I'm just the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That's all...I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. My organization has over 10,000 members !"

"Woah really? 10,00 members—" I was cut off by him

"Who knows? I am a liar, after all." He had a cheeky smile.

"Oh, well then that's boring." I quickly back away, forgetting how close he was.

"Heeeeyyyy! That's rude!" He whined. "I am the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That part was true!"

"So were you lying or not..?"

"Nishishi...I'm not telling youuuuu."

"Ugh, whatever then. What's the name of that organization?"

"It's a secret. Y'know, cuz it's a secret organization."

"Oh haha, so funny." I say with a straight face

"Just leave him alone, Y/n. All he is, is a liar." Keebo said. Not long after that Kokichi and Keebo started fighting again about...I don't even know what.

I started to make my way to the door, I didn't feel like wasting my time here if they're just going to fight.

"Awww is fire lady leaving already?" Kokichi pretended to be sad. I didn't even notice what he said until 10 seconds after he said it.

"Wait what!? FIRE LADY........nah..." I heard him laugh as I exit the classroom. I can't believe I was just called fire lady....!?
