********

Later that afternoon.

Sainan High.

In a particular room on the first floor which was closed to most students unless they had a reason to enter.

The faculty room.

I wasn't alone either. I could see Momo further behind, talking with other faculty members, other teachers of this school.

As for me, I was brought here after my other classes ended for the day. I was a bit disappointed with World History, but it was just the first day, and it was just like your normal history class, mostly covering Japanese history. It didn't dive into the aspects of the other portions of the world. Which meant I probably had to go to the library or buy my own computer to research items until we reached those lessons in class.

The latter is possible now, considering the inheritance I received from God's meddling.

But my present attention was currently on the golden haired beauty in front of me. The distance was quite close and I could smell some citrus in the air.

Her eyes were clearly showing something else though. They appeared very serious as she observed me.

"Do you know the reason why you've been called here, Baki-san?", Tearju-sensei asked me.

"To see your beautiful face, Tearju-sensei?", I replied. 

"Now isn't the time for jokes, Baki-san! Your future career is on the line here.", Tearju-sensei immediately retorted me, showing seriousness in her eyes, but also that of worry. Her raising her voice caused other faculty members to land their eyes my way.

"Oh I very well know the reason I was brought here, Tearju-sensei.", I said with a serious look in my eyes.

"Do you, now, Baki-san?", Gojo-sensei's voice called out to me, seeing him next to Tearju-sensei. "It really isn't looking good for you. If you didn't have a clean record, with the counts you've racked up you could easily spend at least one month in juvie.", Gojo-sensei said.

"Wait, seriously?", Momo suddenly called out, surprised to hear that.

"One count of public disturbance. Two counts of destruction of school property. Your earlier stunt damaged the courtyard entrance a bit, it's minor so we can call it 1.5. Your infraction of Sainan's dress code is also minor, we could wave this one but your other counts still remain. It isn't looking good for you, Baki-san.", Gojo-sensei explained.

"I've also looked into your past records too, it seems you've picked fights with delinquents quite a bit and due to family matters you've lived abroad for a couple years.", Gojo-sensei continued.

"Wait, is that true?", Tearju-sensei asked with surprise in her eyes.

"I've had unruly moments then but that's the gist of it. Settling down here back in Japan has helped me cool down, but I'm still adjusting to it. What happened in the auditorium was out of my hands but I'll take responsibility for it. If needed I can reimburse you guys for the damaged locker and courtyard too.", I suggested to the faculty., while telling a white lie, considering I was transmigrated into Baki's body. But the memories of him remained. I do have the memories of Baki going around fighting various opponents.

That muscle memory remains, but my stats were reset. I plan to undergo a big training session this week. With those memories, me increasing my percentages of the martial art skills I know should naturally come back. The only one right now that was at a 100% was Grappling, which was thanks to one of my skills.

The faculty members saw the seriousness in my eyes, and Tearju-sensei let out a sigh.

"Well, it's good you understand, Baki-san. We have reached a conclusion prior to you coming here. Classes have ended for the day so you can take it easy. Thankfully no other disturbances rose after the entrance ceremony.", Tearju-sensei answered after she regained her composure.

"Lay it on me then. I'm not going to juvie, am I?", I asked.

"No. It is thanks to your clean record that you won't be. You will be suspended for the rest of this week. Repeated offenses could lead to an expulsion, so we are warning you now Baki-san.", Gojo-sensei said.

'One week of being suspended...That isn't the worst. I could make use of this too.', I inwardly thought, only to hear Momo suck in a deep breath.

I saw Momo stay silent for a moment before she approached me with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"I...might have been responsible for one of the counts you received, Baki-san...", Momo said with worry. Hearing that caused me to smile.

"Nah. The blame lies on me. You weren't in the wrong here, Ms. Ayase.", I responded, trying to ease her worry.

"We've got the results already. But you aren't out of the question yet, Ayase-san. Here, this is for you.", Tearju-sensei responded, only to give a bag containing a green skirt over to Momo.

"I get it already. I'll be sure not to keep the skirt short anymore.", Momo sighed, scratching her head as she took the bag from Tearju-sensei.

"And as for you, Baki-san, this will be the study material you'll miss out on the entire week. I expect no slacking from you, even if you are suspended.", Gojo-sensei grinned, passing a large pile of books my way suddenly.

"Got it.", I said, feeling a heavy weight clinging to me.

"Oh, and none of this Ms. Ayase business. You can call me Momo!", Momo said to me, giving me a smile as she darted out of the room. Despite her delinquent-like appearance and coarse tone, she seemed like a nice girl to me.

As Momo left, I heard the sound of the last school bell start to echo around the school, signaling it was time for students to wrap up the rest of their business and either go to their club activities or start leaving for the day.

"We'll see you in a week then, Baki-san. Please take care of yourself.", Tearju-sensei replied, letting a smile bloom across her lips. She really was a breathtaking woman seeing her up close. If I recall, she was in her mid-twenties, wasn't she?

"Haha, before I go though, I do have something I want to consult on. We can do that, yes?", I decided to ask, drawing the remaining faculty members' interests.

"Oh? We sure can, is something up, Baki-san?", Gojo-sensei asked me.

"I don't know if it's appropriate or not to ask. But I'd figure I'd give it a shot.", I replied. Considering they were teachers, they were probably the best to consult in matters like these.

I had reached a conclusion since earlier this morning on how to proceed with my next few years here. I'd rather have minimal disturbances here, apart from coming across other characters from the World of Baki. And speaking of which, I will need to talk with that old man too. I'd rather not want my school life disturbed.

But the foremost thing was, how to deal with Yujiro Hanma. Baki didn't do anything regarding him. Yujiro would just come and go as he pleased. I would take some time to try and contact certain folks, but I figured why not ask the teachers first?

I want to bind Yujiro. Prevent his actions from having any direct impact on me until it is the appropriate time to challenge him. I have the memories of how badly he beat Baki back at that hotel he frequently uses.

And I didn't mean figuratively.

I meant literally. Through a legal, binding contract. No matter what Yujiro would attempt to do, I would have the terms and conditions to keep him in his place for the moment.

I was mulling through this throughout the day, and reached this conclusion.

If it was just the World of Baki, I would have immediately rejected the idea.

I mean, with the other stories mixed into this, there's no way Yujiro is the strongest man out of all them, right? From my perspective, I figure his title of world's strongest creature is definitely at risk here. After all, there were many divine entities floating about doing their business in the cosmos.

Not to mention the existence of Grand Xeno of the DBZ verse.

He definitely is out there too somewhere.

"What would it take to get in contact with a lawyer?", I decided to ask, causing a silence to spread around the faculty office.

"Now why would you want to ask such a question, Baki-san? Is your present condition not doing well?", Tearju-sensei asked, revealing a frown over her lips.

"Oh it's nothing personal with the school here. Matters back at home is a bit complicated. Kaa-san passed away and oyaji is out there doing what he likes. I've been living on my own for quite some time.", I said, keeping the explanation short.

"That doesn't sound good...", Tearju-sensei responded, revealing worry in her eyes.

"No, it doesn't, but we can't interfere with students' lives much, seeing as we are teachers. We can do home visits should situations arise, but I don't think we need to do one hearing you say that Baki-san. I won't promise anything, but I'll see what we can do.", Gojo-sensei said, nodding his head.

"Thank you, Gojo-sensei. Oh and that old man from earlier, he was serious. I'll be heading to the Tokyo Dome this weekend. Feel free to gather some students for a crowd. Tickets will cost ya though.", I said, waving my hand as my figure departed from the faculty office. 

[Ding! You have completed your first day of class at Sainan High. 3 TEQ gained. 3 WIS gained.]

[Ding!...]

[Ding! You have been suspended from school in your first week. Your existence has already started to spread around the entire school. 5 CHA has been gained.]

[Ding!...]

I heard four notifications sound off in my mind as I left the building, causing me to smile.

Some students remained behind in the hallways chatting about with their friends, but as I placed my spare hand in my pocket while carrying a heavy bag of books, other students made way for me. I would start to hear silent gossip as I exited the hallways.

"Baki-san...", A voice called out to me as I approached the locker room. My locker was still destroyed, but it still had my things in it. I saw Rito not too far away with obvious worry in his eyes.

"Haha, you didn't have to stick around Yuuki-kun. But thanks, I guess. Looks like I'll be catching you again in a week. But at the very least, I can offer a ride home.", I said with a playful grin while getting my bag. I stored the books, causing me to feel a large weight placed over my shoulder.

"Please, no. Did you really get suspended, Baki-san?", Rito asked with a frown.

"'Fraid so. It won't be all that bad, though. I can at least put my mind at ease and solely focus on training for the upcoming knockout tournament in Tokyo Dome. You're invited, by the way. Just talk to jiji or one of his bodyguards. Mention me and they'll let you in.", I said, waving my hand goodbye.

"The Tokyo Dome...", Rito uttered, letting his eyes blink widely seeing my fleeting figure vanish into the horizon, making my way home on foot.
