12 11. Meeting a new face

Kazuki, pretending to be surprised, said, "Oh, hm, hello miss...?"

"Well, I'm Miku Yuuki from 2-A, nice to meet you, Kazuki-senpai."

"Oh, you already know my name, Miku-chan. What do I owe this honor?" Kazuki said with a slight smile, hiding his true thoughts on his face.

Both remembered the brief interaction they had on Friday, but no one brought it up.

"Miku-chan? Already on a first-name basis, senpai? You're fast~" she said with a smile growing. 'Heeh, this is already in the bag. I hope the Brazilian side of him is much more dominant than the Japanese. I'm tired of these wimps here.'

The high school student gossip network is terrifying. Miku Yuuki had already gathered all possible information about Kazuki. And she was determined to be the first to prove herself in this school, even though she had a reputation as a slut spread by girls who claimed to be her friends, rarely did she let any guy get close to her, she enjoys the flirting, the feeling, the emotion, she knows she has a high libido and likes sex a lot, but after numerous attempts, she simply gave up trying to find a guy who could satisfy her, but Kazuki's arrival as a genuine foreigner reignited her hope.

'He's even living with Hayashi-sensei, she wouldn't let scum close to her, so it's even better' Miku thought.

Miku is willing to use her body and considerable sex appeal to gain advantages. She was a scholarship student and worked part-time in a night bar in the city, pretending to be older to help at home. She earns several generous tips from some clients who try to get into her pants, but only a couple succeeded, though they couldn't handle it after a few rounds, becoming too embarrassed to return to the bar, so she stopped accepting their advances to keep getting money.

She only had a single mother and they had to learn to get by after her scumbag of a father left her mother and took all their savings with him when she was little. Her mother was really important to her, and if using her natural assets could give a good life to her mother, she doesn't have any qualms about using them.

But despite all her charm, due to an incident, she became very petty and spiteful. Even going so far as to send almost nude photos to her "friends" boyfriends to get back at them.

Those same boyfriends are then lured into a place where their girlfriends will get there just in time to see them trying to attack Miku as she pretends to be innocent.

She wouldn't be that spiteful if, because of their rumors, a teacher last year didn't try to rape her all while blaming her, even hitting her enough to crack a bone when she tried to refuse. The situation was really close but before he could put his thing inside her, Kyoko Hayashi the math teacher caught the act and reported the teacher's actions.

'Even if I like sex a lot, it doesn't mean I want to be raped by an ugly bastard, damn it.' She thought at the time.

Even with Kyoko's testimony and a video she took at the time, the school tried to sweep it under the rug to avoid any public outrage, while simply suspending the teacher, and as Miku was just a scholarship student she couldn't say anything. But Kyoko took it upon herself to make things right, then after trying everything she could, she asked for help from Koichi Shido. In less than a week that teacher was sent to jail.

Since that occasion, Kyoko Hayashi became Miku Yuuki's idol even if people talked badly about her behind her back Miku knew they were just jealous. She also was really thankful to Shido for his assistance and had grown to respect him even joining the track and field club that he was in charge of.

Unknown to her, Shido's price for helping was to go on a date with Kyoko, where he tried to get her drunk and fuck her but had his plans foiled by a relative of hers that was visiting the city at the time and got to the restaurant to take her home.

"Hmm~ you don't like it? Shall I change then?" Kazuki asked, curious about what her game was.

"No~ That's even better, so I can call you just Kazuki-senpai then. That makes us feel closer~"

"Haha, well, we're talking for the first time, aren't we? So let's walk while we talk."

The two continued walking, this time a bit slower until their classes, since they would soon have to separate. At every moment, Miku gave a few smiles and touched Kazuki's arm as if by accident, getting closer and increasing the frequency of the touches. Kazuki, on the other hand, didn't show any agitation and didn't act like a teenager with lust.

Despite flirting with her, he never forced anything, always maintaining a pleasant environment in their conversation. He noticed her posture, her looks, small gestures that told how she really felt in that situation, and subconsciously adapted in a way that created a comforting presence for her.

'I've never been so good at conversation before, there must be something about the original Kazuki. I've never noticed such small details. At the same time, it may have nothing to do with him and my transmigration gift is that. Discreet, yet useful.' Kazuki thought in the middle of the conversation.

On the other hand, the one having an extremely pleasant surprise today was Miku, who thought that the handsome senpai would jump on her as soon as she gave him some space, but in reality, all she got today was a genuinely interesting and entertaining conversation with someone for the first time in months, maybe years. The tones of flirting were present, he clearly had an interest in her body, but he never overdid it, she felt a comfort in Kazuki's presence that was hard to explain.

During the conversation, she mentioned that Kyoko was her favorite teacher, gaining some of Kazuki's curiosity about the reason, but as this was still their first conversation, she preferred not to tell about the incident, inventing some reason.

After that, Kazuki told some stories from Brazil, making Miku more interested in getting to know him better.

'Ok, I came looking for copper and found gold!' Miku thought excitedly.

"Well Miku, I really enjoyed our conversation," Kazuki said, taking out a piece of paper with a number on it, "If you want to continue, just send a message to me on Line." He finished with a smile, and approaching Miku, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Ok?"

The slightly disappointed look on her face lit up while blushing like a tomato due to the sudden attack. And still surprised, she could only look while Kazuki moved away and only after a few seconds she could answer.

"Leave it to me Kazuki-senpai, you'll receive a message soon~"

Miku then, keeping the number in her pocket, continued following Kazuki with a predatory look until he disappeared from her sight.

...

The afternoon classes were ignored by Kazuki just like the morning ones. After they ended, he approached Saeko, saying, "Hey Saeko, I'll deliver your gift tomorrow morning before class, okay? It'll be easier to keep it in the club room that way."

Saeko, who only now remembered that Kazuki had promised a gift, said, "Alright, Kazuki, I'll let the girls know."

"Thanks. I'd love to spend more time talking with you, but I have a scheduled commitment and have to leave now. See you later~" Kazuki said to avoid being surrounded by people who wanted to talk to him.

Leaving the classroom, he quickly made his way to the teacher's room and found Kyoko alone at her desk. He approached her, speaking quietly enough to not be overheard by other teachers in the room, "Hey, Kyoko~ Did you miss me?"

Also whispering, she replied, "Of course I did, you goof. Unfortunately, I won't be able to come back with you. I'll be staying here for another couple of hours. So you can go on ahead."

"Oh, okay. I'll take a walk around the city with a new friend, Kohta Hirano from 2-B, you know him?"

"Oh, that guy. He's smart and never caused any trouble, but I heard he's been bullied in his class. I tried to do something about it, but he always said it was nothing, and Shido kept avoiding the subject too. It's good that you've become friends with him. I imagine it'll help reduce the actions against him."

"He's a good guy. Soon no one will bother him anymore... Well, I'll be off then. I'll see you at home." Kazuki blew her a kiss before leaving.

Kyoko looked around, but no other teacher was paying attention to their conversation, which reassured her. Most of the teachers already knew they lived together, but if anyone saw how intimate they were, rumors would certainly start to go around the school.

'A few more hours without my Kazunium supply. It's time to put some gas into this.'

...

After spending around ten minutes saying goodbye to Shizuka at the infirmary, Kazuki headed straight to the front of the school, where he had agreed to meet Kohta. In the distance, he saw Kohta surrounded by five students, one of whom, who seemed to be the leader with his hair dyed yellow, was trying to intimidate Kohta aggressively.

'I remember this guy, don't know his name, but I remember he was one of the main reasons Shido took the bus.'

Quickening his pace to prevent whatever was happening, Kazuki was taken by surprise when none other than Komuro Takashi intervened in the situation and stopped it from escalating further.

Kazuki arrived shortly after, speaking with his deep voice and his stature and muscles adding to the authority of his presence, "What's going on here? Any problem, Kohta?"

Three of the students were the same ones who had harassed Kohta in the hallway earlier, and upon seeing Kazuki with a serious expression on his face, they weren't intimidated. Instead, they turned to the blonde-haired one and tried to provoke him.

"It was this guy, Tsunoda-san. He attacked us in the hallway for no reason."

Tsunoda, who remained quiet after Kazuki's arrival, listening, turned to him and had to look up a bit this time with a more serious look upon hearing his lackeys' words.

"Why did you attack my friends? You're new here, aren't you? Why get involved where you have no business? You may be big, but you're not two."

"Hahaha, so I should let you guys continue bullying someone just because it's none of my business?" Kazuki laughed, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. Narrowing them, he spoke a little colder, "And who do you think you are to say what is or isn't my business?"

A shiver ran down Tsunoda's and the other four's spine at that moment. Tsunoda had been in several fights before and could tell, 'this guy is trouble.' Not to mention the damn Takashi Komuro who interfered first and would surely help this foreigner.

Realizing that several people were watching what was happening and remembering the report he had received, 'this guy fought with that senpai captain of the Kendo club for half an hour straight.' Even with the numerical advantage, fighting this guy would be too problematic.

"Tsc, forget it," Tsunoda said, turning his face away. But before he could move, Kazuki was beside him with a hand on his shoulder. His eyes were narrowed in crescents as if he were cheerfully greeting an acquaintance, but the words he whispered in Tsunoda's ear were anything but cheerful.

"Where I come from, I would see people selling weapons just in front of the school gate almost every day, a guy threatened me with a gun just because I asked for a pen back, no one there wanted to start a random fight because the result could be a shot in the back the next day. It's not this childish game of yours that will intimidate me, so don't even try. If you bother me too much, I'll find a way to break your three legs, and no one will know who did it, got it?"

At that moment, Tsunoda felt as if a heavy weight were on his shoulders. the sounds of his surroundings became distant noises, only Kazuki's voice echoed in his mind, and he could say with certainty, 'This guy is serious'.

NOD, NOD, NOD, Tsunoda nodded, indicating that he understood the message.

"Great, see you never then," Kazuki said, stepping away from him, but not before giving him a pat on the back. Tsunoda called his allies and left with a pale face.

After the group had left, an oddly quiet silence hung in the air. It was broken by Takashi, "I guess you didn't even need my help, huh, Hirano?"

"Ah haha, thanks, Komuro-kun. If you hadn't stopped them, I'd probably be in some hidden corner of the school getting beaten up."

"Hey, thanks for the help, Komuro-san. If you weren't here, I'd probably have to break a few legs," Kazuki said, finding room to join the conversation.

Komuro gave an awkward smile because he could tell this senpai was serious.

"No problem, senpai. I don't like the way these guys act either."

"I'm Kazuki, I'm from 3-A, and I'm allergic to 'San', 'Kun', and 'Chan' when used in my name." Kazuki offered his hand to shake, and Takashi shook it in return.

"I'm Takashi Komuro, I'm from 2-B."

After chatting for a few minutes, Kazuki noticed the time and hurried. He had more important things to do than chat with the protagonist.

"Well, nice meeting you, but Kohta, we're late, man. Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Takashi watched the two of them hurry off to catch the right bus.

"Even a newcomer dares to do something, and I've been watching all year. Good for you, Kohta, you found a good friend."
