Chapter 59: The Greedy Scholar
Scrolling on his phone, Sora looked through various books and information. With his capabilities, Sora had hacked into every possible electronic equipment. As well as used his mosquitoes to record and search for books and texts not found on the internet.
Why?
To finally begin his search for those martial arts he had been thinking about since his youth in this world. Like he had once thought, Sora had planned on learning every martial art of this world or at least remember it and slowly train in them one by one. Yet it is a shame he will remain empty handed.
Turning off his phone, Sora sighed and looked up at the ceiling of his dark room.
The similarity of this world compared to his previous was very high. The martial arts they contain are all similar and the only thing that is different are a couple individual martial arts that were made for quirks.
Aside from those, there isn't anything new to learn from this world.
In the end, Sora memorized the quirk martial arts and added them to his collection. He wanted to collect every piece of knowledge and technique he ever comes across. He wanted to obtain them, even if he couldn't use them, he wanted to know about them and have them for himself.
A greedy desire settled itself in his heart.
It's like the time he had trained in every martial art in his past life. He had gathered every martial art, mastered it, and made them his. This time around, it wasn't just martial arts, but knowledge as well. Sora felt a little ashamed that he didn't gather much knowledge from his past life, but this new world will do.
He has already gathered a lot of knowledge from this world and even researched beyond it. His understanding of cuisine was at another level, and although he hadn't practiced the Arts much, he knew everything about them, music, painting, poetry, writing.
In other words, Sora has become a Scholar. One looking for knowledge and researching anything he comes across.
His eyes were opened when he came to this new world, he wanted to know more about it, understand it, and comprehend how he had arrived here. It was mystical and an amazing thing.
"Mmh…"
Calming himself, Sora looked at Ragdoll, real name Tomoko. Sleeping on his chest, Tomoko had a grin on her face. Her arm was holding on tightly to his waist, as if even in her sleep, she is afraid that he will leave.
Removing her green hair from her face, Sora looked at Tomoko's peaceful countenance that hid her energetic side.
Resting and getting dressed after their steamy session, Sora and Tomoko continued on their way to the base of the mountain where the Pussycats' private buildings are at. There, Tiger had been waiting for them, Class 1-B had still not arrived luckily.
But after a couple of minutes and them arriving, Sora simply explained the purpose of the trip. To train their quirks and make them stronger and more resilient. Their bodies have grown stronger and so have their abilities, but their quirks have not improved at all.
Now, they all went their way whilst Sora went to bed with Tomoko, resting on the bed.
It hasn't been long since they went to bed, and Tomoko had already fallen asleep.
'I can't sleep,' thought Sora as he lightly got off the bed and went out.
Ever since he 'broke through' his limits and even more so after the golden blood, Sora had been having difficulties sleeping. He had so much energy within himself, his body efficiently took in every bit of energy, nutrients, and protein from the foods and drinks he had.
And all that energy, nutrient and protein is all effectively used.
Walking around, Sora felt some heat coming from the door next to him. He turned his head and looked, noticing that the building he had arrived next to is a natural hot spring. With a smile, he entered the building and went to the men's section.
'This is great,' thought Sora as he entered the changing room and noticed something right away. A couple of bins were filled with clothes already and some talking coming from the hot spring outside.
Removing his clothes and cleaning his body with water, Sora went out to the hot spring. There he coincidentally found the students from Class 1-A.
"-an accident waiting to happen."
Entering the hot spring, Sora furrowed his eyebrows as he heard the little grape talk. He turned his head and found him looking up at the large wooden wall separating the men's side front the women's side.
"Mineta! What are you thinking?!"
Inside the thermal waters, Ida stood up, a serious expression on his face as he began lecturing the small grape boy. He walked over to Mineta, but without waiting for the lecture to cease or for Ida to stop him, the boy began climbing the wooden wall.
"Walls are meant to be climbed."
Frowning, Sora sighed as he began walking over to them. The instant he walked over, his appearance was made known and all the boys quieted down when they saw him. Sora may only be two years older than them, but the air he carries around was already full of authority and they didn't dare to treat him as a friend.
In their eyes, Sora is an authoritative figure.
They kept quiet, no longer talking with Mineta and allowing him to speak loudly.
Sora stood at the wall, and unlike how the students thought he would stop Mineta, they saw him wait. Standing at the bottom, he simply stretched his hand out to the side as he looked at them with a bored look on his face.
"Damn brat!"
Suddenly, while they were looking at Sora, they heard Mineta yell in anger and sadness as he fell down to the floor.
Up above on the wall, they saw a little boy with a red hat on his head, Kota. Then, right as Mineta was heading for the ground, Sora grabbed him by the head and threw him to the side. He sighed and outstretched his hand once more.
"Mineta is the worst!"
"Yay yay!"
"Thank you, Kota!"
Suddenly, the girls on the other side of the wall cheered, thanking the little boy for his help. Wanting to say your welcome, Kota turned and unconsciously looked at them as he was ready to say your welcome, but the sight stunned him. Although he didn't see any privates, he saw more skin than he had ever before!
"Ah!"
With surprise and shock, Kota unexpectedly fell back, falling down the wall and into the men's side.
"Kota!"
Midoriya yelled out in worry, instantly jumping out of the water and using his quirk to power his body. Springing into action, Midoriya dove over to catch Kota. His eyes followed the falling little boy, watching as he fell into the hands of Sora.
'Eh?'
Midoriya's momentum couldn't be stopped and his outstretched hands weren't withdrawn. They got caught on the edge of Sora's towel and pulled it off as Midoriya crashed into the wooden wall.
Bang!
"Ah!"
"Is that a snake?"
"Am I not a man?"
"Why is the difference so big?"
Yells from the other boys rang out after Sora's towel came off.
Sora simply sighed.
Shaking his head and holding Kota gently, her turned his attention to the wall and yelled.
"You girls need to be more careful. Try not to tempt the children," Sora said. The 'children' he was referring to were the boys of Class 1-A.
Grabbing his towel from Midoriya's hands, Sora walked out of the hot spring, a little disappointed at how he couldn't enjoy the water. However, that didn't mean that others didn't.
At this moment, the instant they heard the exclamations from the boys and Sora's voice, a majority of the girls tried peaking through and above the wooden wall. Their eyes instantly locked onto Sora and his naked body as he walked over.
Six girls tried looking, some for curiosity and others for different reasons. Momo, Ochaco, Mina, Toru, and two other girls, Kyoka and Tsuyu.
Kyoka has short hair with a cool girl vibe, her quirk is Earphone Jack, turning her ear lobes into earphone jacks. Their friend Tsuyu is a short girl with long dark green hair with the ends tied into a large bow. Her appearance is a bit frog-like due to her quirk, Frog.
From those six girls, only two of them got to actually see Sora naked.
Tsuyu and Ochaco.
Ochaco returned to the ground and the girls surrounded her, hoping that she would tell them what she saw. Ochaco looked at them with wide eyes and her mouth in a little O shape before covering her face in shame. Her face turned red and steam came out of her head as she constantly remembered what she saw.
On the other hand, Tsuyu had a more calm look on her face, a light red tint on her cheeks. "He's a strong mate. I don't think I will ever want to mate with anyone if it isn't him," she calmly stated.
Her words caught the other girls by surprise and they all eventually turned to look at Ochaco who was still covering her face in embarrassment. Feeling their stares through her covered face, Ochaco nodded, similarly agreeing to Tsuyu's words.
Despite what many are thinking, these girls aren't as shallow as to think that 'size' is all that matters. Rather, when they saw Sora, they not only looked at his impressive package, but at his body, how beautiful and lean it is. Their bodies reacted to that and they felt their body heat rise, but then, they turned their gazes to Kota, who Sora was carrying softly.
Sora's golden eyes were filled with care and their hearts throbbed in response.
***
Walking out of the hot springs, Sora walked to the management office where he knew he would find someone. Knocking on the door, Sora entered the room and found two women in there, talking.
Hearing Sora enter, both women turned to look at who entered and noticed Sora and Kota. Standing up worriedly, one of the women approached and looked at Kota and checked him carefully, it wasn't until she checked that she sighed.
"Thank you…"
"Sora, I'm going to be the instructor of Class 1-B for this trip," Sora responded to the woman. She nodded and responded with a smile, introducing herself and the other woman.
Gesturing to herself, the woman said, "I am Mandalay, from Wild, Wild Pussycats. My real name is Shino." Then, the woman with brown hair, Shino, turned to the other woman.
Smiling, the other woman stepped forward and approached Sora. She has blonde hair and bright blue eyes, looking into Sora's eyes as she grabbed his hand and shook it with enthusiasm. There was a gleam in her eyes as she looked at Sora, and with a smile, she introduced herself.
"Hey, I'm Pixie-Bob! My real name…" she leaned forward and smiled before whispering. "Ryuko, but you can call me yours…"
Sora looked at Ryuko, a little tinge of surprise in his eyes as he looked at the eager woman looking at him like a predator. With a smile, Sora lowered his head and gazed into her eyes.
"Hiii!"
With a small squeal, Ryuko blushed as she felt Sora's golden eyes peer deep into her. She felt her heart quicken and she turned her head to the side nervously. With a nervous smile, she stepped back a little, realizing that she wasn't the 'predator' in this case, but Sora.
"Come… we have much to talk about…" Sora said with smiling eyes as he gently held Ryuko's hand and led her out of the building.
Shino opened her mouth and closed it many times, unsure of what to say. She was there for it all, but even then, she didn't know what had just happened. With a light sigh, she sat down and looked over her nephew.
"Should I follow them?"
With a teasing smirk, Shino jumped up from her chair and followed Sora and Pixie-Bob after telling Tiger to take care of Kota. It's the first time that Ryuko had found a partner, all the other times the men had either ran away from her eccentricity, or for other reasons. Now, she wants to see what will happen between her and Sora.
