Convincing...
A couple months later, and nothing really changed. Akira's life was relatively the same, with only the occasional bullying getting worse...
But today, he would change that. He couldn't bear being around 'kids' anymore...
Today, he would be convincing his mother to be home tutored...
Akira opened his eyes. Waking up, feeling more refreshed than ever...
He got ready and wore his uniform for school...
However, he knew it was time he told his mother about being home-schooled...
Akira realized the time for the attack was looming ever so closer than before, and he had a feeling it wouldn't go as easy as he planned...
So this was his only way of staying close to her at all times...
Thinking to himself, he then heard a small creek...
Akira turned to the door to see his mother looking at him with a tender smile...
However, looking at his face, she could tell that something was bothering him...
"...Akira... what's troubling you?" She asked, worried...
"Mother... is it possible for me to be home-schooled from now on?" Akira asked.
His mother looked at him weirdly, pondered a bit before responding...
"Is there any reason you would like to be taught at home? I can't just stop you from living a normal life, Akira..." she said tenderly...
Akira sighed...
"Mother... School is useless to me, but I should say this now. I already studied ahead with doctorate levels of knowledge... I can tell you all the formulas used in calculus, physics, chemistry, and extensive knowledge regarding mathematics, English, literature, and many, many more..." Akira stated.
However, his mother looked confused...
"Akira... What do you mean? Are you telling me you did all of that by going through the curriculum?since whe-"
"...Since I was 3, mom. School interested me at first... but now it's just tedious... I'm so far ahead that I can basically predict what the teachers are going to teach in regards to follow up lessons..." Akira rebutted.
He was not lying. With his monstrous talent in learning and comprehending topics, what would take 15 years for some to learn, would take him 1, and that was simply studying casually... He slowly developed photographic memory when his intellect reached 20th mark, but now he was currently 1 point away from 30, his mind was now operating on completely different levels compared to normal humans...
His mother could only look pensive at the info dump he had dropped onto her... And of course she would be... If your child told you they could do all of that, you obviously would be a little shocked about it...
She knew Akira was intelligent. He was supposed to be in the 3rd grade, and he was in the 7th because of how bright he was...
But to know that he was this intelligent. Was a bit too much for her mind to handle...
"...Akira... come here. I'll be asking questions regarding those topics levels based on the level of education required... if you managed to answer them. I'll let you stay home with me. Is that fine?" His mother stated, however, she hoped he would back down to tell her that it was a joke...
"... Alright, but remember your deal." Akira stated...
'He's not backing down, it seems that he is serious... does he truly know that much? No one could be that much of a prodigy, can they?...' She thought...
_________________________________________________
After two whole hours of random and systematic questions. Akira answered all of them instantly, and with great eloquence. His mother would even come up with outlandish questions to test his general knowledge, and he would even correct her if her information cited was wrong, or not up to date...
.

"How... how" she stated unbelievably...
"...I hope you aren't mad at me for hiding this from you, mom... I ju-" However, before Akira could finish. His mother hugged him tightly...
"Of course I wouldn't be mad, silly! My little cub is a genius of the century!" His mother stated excitedly.
Akira looked surprised... but hugged his mother in return...
"OK! we'll be having stewed beef and rice tonight, your favorite!" She exclaimed.
Akira looked on, then smiled...
"So does that mean I can stay?" Akira asked, wanting to make sure.
"Mhmm, you can stay home dear... though I will have to make some calls. Mommy will take care of it." She smiled, kissing him on the forehead.
She was a bit unhappy. Akira couldn't be around others his age. But when she thought about it from his perspective, it truly didn't make sense... It would be like putting einstein himself in the 1st grade to learn about a theory he created...
Akira, on the other hand, felt vivid... He could now remain beside her at all times to ensure her safety, and he would most likely have greater amounts of freedom because of how intelligent he presented himself to be. Essentially, she could trust him far more than she used to...
Now this would only leave him to think about the potential characters he would meet at the school and who he would need to end...
First on his list was 'Chiba'... Akira felt sorry for this one. He wasn't like the rest if the thugs in the series, as the original Inugami put it. He was far more 'refined', to the point he should be doing something more noble than what he strived to do at school, with serving Dou...
Eventually, Chiba changed his ways after the whole 'incident' from one of the surviving twins. But because of the original's slackness, he revealed his true form to Dou, causing the spiral of fucking events to transpire, with miss Aoshika...
But, Chiba, if under the right hands, would be a valuable ally. He was a loyal down-to-earth guy. He had his dreams, but he was just brought up under the wrong hands, and most importantly, he had talent...
Dou was a twisted character. He was barely human by real world standards, and it didn't help with how he looked either... He was naturally a gifted person, both in mind and body. However, his emotions were dim, and it was until he knew about the 'beyond' that he finally showed some speck of, albeit twisted...
However, the current akira decided that this guy was twisted, and there was no saving him...
The third character was Ryuuko... he didn't know how to deal with that one... he knew of her life... similarly to that of Aoshika, Ryuuko's father raped her, albeit and at a much younger age...
In a way, he couldn't really hate her character because of what she had to go through, and she didn't kill indiscriminately either. She only did what she had to out of survival and her twisted mind, but she could change... she wasn't all that bad... one could see her inner child when she most vulnerable, and Akira knew that, she just needs help to be normal...
Before their last meeting, Aaron genuinely felt that Ryuuko fell for Inugami when they met for the first time. However, her clear jealousy of Aoshika made her down spiral worse, since Inugami chose aoshika over her, and him trying to rape her... The original Akira knew that too, which was why he left her alive despite her stabbing him in the end...
Akira thought he could help her. She was damn good at making men go crazy...
Akira sighed. '...I have a lot more work cut out for me... I just hope I can complete whatever tasks I have set out ahead...' Akira finished...
