Chapter 8

This continued for another 3 days, in which it became part of his routine to eat with Himiko, the first day he only ate with her at lunchtime, the second day he ate at dinner time and on the third day he ate breakfast, lunch and have dinner with her.

Although every time he joined, she became nervous and cautious, after these 3 days she adjusted to him presence.

Today he was going to make a new breakthrough, after all, although they ate together, they could not talk about anything and the most he managed was to be greeted by his surname, so today he was going to take charge of advancing their relationship.

The first step was to make her call him by his name and from that to make progress to have a conversation with her and become his friend.

Upon reaching the dining room Akira took his breakfast and like all these days he went directly to the table where there was only one girl. She saw him arrive, but was not alarmed as she had done previously, what if she surprised her is that he began to talk to her today.

"Hello, good morning Toga-san, how have you been?" Akira asked in a soft and calm voice, to prevent Himiko from freaking out.

"E-eh ... h-hello Ketsueki-san, I'm fine" she said with a shy voice similar to a whisper, showing that, although she has gotten used to his presence every day when eating, she still needs more time to gain trust enough for her to talk to him.

Akira showed a pensive expression with some annoyance that Himiko saw, which made her worry.

"Toga-san, don't you think we should change the way we conduct ourselves? After all these days eating together, I think we are already more than acquaintances and calling you by your surname seems very distant, so we must change it"

"Eh?" Himiko showed a puzzled face, but before she could say anything else Akira continued.

"Yes, although I like my last name because of its meaning, among friends we should not call each other by our last name, so from now on I will call you Himiko-san and you can call me Akira-san"

"Ehhh, friends? Akira-san, Himiko-san?" Himiko repeated in a loop as if she did not understand what was happening, at the same time she began to blush profusely.

"That's how Toga-san is, I consider you my friend, am I not for you?" Akira spoke with a sad expression.

"Uhh, no, I say yes. I consider you my friend Ketsueki-san" Toga said with a nervous and lost expression as she waved her hands tenderly.

"Then you have to call me Akira-san, A-K-I-R-A, or else it means that you don't consider me your friend."

"B-but ... is that calling you ... A-a ... by your first name is ..."

"Oh, I see, you don't like honorifics do you? you're right I don't like them very much either, what do you think if I better call you Himiko and you tell me Akira, if I think it sounds better, let's go with that one, from now on you will call me Akira and I will call you Himiko" Akira spoke while nodding with head towards Toga.

"Whattt? but if that's ... no, I can't call you that Kets-"

"If you don't call me Akira from now on, I'll start calling you then Himiko-chan, so you choose which one seems best to you" Akira interrupted her with a serious face, but deep in his eyes you could see the desire se had to do it.

Toga's jaw dropped without finishing saying 'Ketsueki' after hearing what Akira said.

"A-aki ... Akira" after a few seconds she spoke in an almost silent whisper that if it weren't for Akira's enhanced senses he would not have heard her.

'Hufff, for a moment I was worried that I exceeded myself and she decide to ignore me, now that she recognizes me as a friend I should be able to approach her more easily, although I understand that she will not tell me everything yet, I hope that in time I will be able to make her show me her true be'

"Well Himiko I'm glad we're friends, how about we continue with our breakfast and then go to classes" Akira gave Himiko a big smile as started to eat.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Himiko still blushing from her ears to her neck meekly nodded and began to eat as well.

So the day passed, Akira at lunch and dinner obviously sat down with Himiko again and at the same time kept trying to make small talks with her and she gradually got used to calling him by his name, because if she didn't tell by his name, he began to call her Himiko-chan, managing to blush until smoke came out of her head.

...

Today was September 1st. Finally, after 10 days of constant trying Akira has managed to make Himiko more open to him, at least enough to have a normal conversation and that she is not uncomfortable.

So this time as he picked up his lunch tray and looked at the tables, he found little Himiko looking in his direction, waiting for his to sit at her table.

Seeing her like this, Akira couldn't help but smile "She is definitely prettier now than when she looked depressed." Akira moved towards Himiko's table and after sitting down he decided to start a conversation.

"And how have you been Himiko-chan ~ did you finish all your tasks?"

Himiko blushed slightly at the way he addressed her "moou, Akira already told you not to say that to me, besides I am older than you so I should be the one to call you that"

"Oh, but I love to tell you ~ Himiko-chan ~ I also love how you blush every time I say it"

"Humph, if you keep bothering me I won't keep talking to you" Himiko said with a pout as she puffed out her cheeks.

'How cute! But I guess I won't bother her anymore, I don't want her to ignore me for the rest of the day' smiling Akira apologized.

"Ok, you win, sorry I won't bother you anymore" (for today) the last part was said in a whisper that Himiko couldn't hear.

Hearing his apology Himiko stopped pouting and returned to the topic of the discussion "yes, I finished my tasks and you already finished them?"

Akira looked at her with an egocentric expression "my dear Himiko I think it is obvious that I finished the tasks the same day they left them"

"Yes, I do know, because you are a genius and it seems incredible that other children cannot answer such simple questions" Himiko, although she was still blushing after hearing him call her dear, she managed to answer by doing an imitation of Akira.

'If you only knew that the only reason I'm good at studying is because I have memories of the future of this world which makes me try hard'

Akira continued to joke with Himiko until they both finished his breakfast, although he wanted to keep talking to her, the teacher had previously told him that Mr. Tenichi wanted to talk to him.

So he said goodbye to her and went to the 4th floor, when he got out of the elevator he looked at the guard and after asking him what was Mr. Tenichi's office, he replied that it was located at the end of the corridor.

Walking towards the office he was thinking about why they had called him 'it will be because of the results that I have shown in the classes, or it will be because of something related to my quirk' while he kept thinking he arrived at the door of the office.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Come in" after hearing the voice, Akira entered the office and found Mr. Tenichi sitting at his desk reading a sheet.

"Akira welcome, how has your stay been so far?" I ask after putting the document on the table.

"Very good sir, it has been a lot of fun living here"

"I'm glad, I called you today because after this month we believe that we already have the treatment plan that you will have to follow. We are sure that with this we will save you from that abominable quirk" said Mr. Tenichi with a kind and gentle smile, feeling like a shepherd who is helping the lost lamb.

Akira was surprised by what he heard and before he could say anything he saw Mr. Tenichi put on a gas mask and pressed a button. Akira understood immediately that something bad would happen to him if he did not get out of there, but when he turned towards the door he saw it closed and a metal layer was added that made it more resistant.

* pishh *

A gas was released in the room, Akira in this desperate situation calmed down and thought with a cold mind 'damn, I knew that the treatment could not only be the classes, but Imagine that this would be done in my room, while I am asleep or in the food, I never thought he would make it in his own office'

Seeing that there was no place to run, Akira made use of his quirk to minimize the activity of his body, decreasing his breathing to the minimum necessary, so as not to inhale so much gas and that this does not affect him so much, even with this Akira noticed that his body was going numb and he was losing the ability to move, he closed his eyes and pretended to fall unconscious.

"I'm sorry to have to take these measures, but considering how smart you are the moment we told you something, you could try to escape, after all it is not the first time that a child tries"

Mr. Tenichi turned off the release of the gas and opened the door through which 2 guards entered who picked up the "unconscious" Akira and lifted him up.

Although he was numb from the gas, Akira managed to use his hearing senses to know where they were taking him.

"According to the steps I counted, we must be in a room near Mr. Tenichi's office." Akira felt as they left him in a chair where he was later tied hands to the armrests and feet to the chair legs.

"I know you're awake Akira, so he stops pretending" Akira upon hearing Mr. Tenichi widened his eyes in surprise.

"Surely you are wondering how I knew you were awake, truthfully my quirk is called a calculation eye, this allows me to calculate the state of a person, with this I can know how much a person weighs, height, how much blood is in his body, how much adrenaline, endorphin and dopamine is releasing and many more things, that's how I knew you were still awake, after using my quirk on you, I could see that you had not absorbed enough gas to become unconscious"

Akira upon hearing the reason why he was discovered he could only sigh. He watched as several cables were connected through his body and head, this generated an idea in his head that made him feel terrified, for the simple idea that this was the supposed treatment that they were going to provide.
