Sneeze

Theos sneezed, according to popular belief someone was probably talking about him, he was handsome enough although not extravagant or narcissistic enough to think so, but his sneeze was an opportunity for Zi Yun Esiah to lighten the mood and in a teasing tone she advised; -You should think about cleaning your sheets.

Although it was all in good fun, she implied that Theos's bed was dusty, and Theos went after her.

It was only a joke, the problem was that he almost thanked her for it, he thought she was wishing him well, now she was laughing at his joke and half thanking Theos while being chased.

Genuis Matters

The co-educational and polytechnic high school, a private school with an educational system that emphasizes student autonomy followed by qualifying training with a view to building the future of youth and a basis for entry into the professional world.

At least that was the propaganda of their marketing strategy, Genuis Matters was in no way different from existing structures.

Terminal B room

Noises could be heard outside the door to B1, and when Theos and Zi Yun Esiah opened the door, they immediately noticed the teacher's absence.

As the education system became more intuitive and technology more advanced, schools and universities were closed, students could study anywhere and teachers were replaced by AIs, but later the impact on the population was rather negative, so the Ministry of Education returned to the traditional method of learning.

A competent teacher, an assistant and an artificial intelligence.

Theos and Esiah were running late, and it was lucky that the teacher wasn't there, otherwise they'd have to explain their adventures.

Already, not talking about it only served to avoid having to explain it at the time, after all, as soon as they crossed the school building, the time they were registered. -But it wasn't without consequences.

-Theos and Eshia together moreover, you're late.

Their classmates weren't really surprised to see these two together, they were just looking for an opportunity to tease them.

-A date, perhaps?

Esiah put everything she'd learned since youth into preventing herself from appearing embarrassed, which would be problematic if she didn't have a modicum of self-control, but you'd really have to be observant to realize she'd blushed.

And as neither she nor Theos had denied or evaded the question, the atmosphere being what it is, a spark could start a fire.

But to put Esiah in such a state was a rare event, so Theos mentally gave a thumbs-up, to her for having so much follow-through.

-Mahito, stop teasing Eshia!

Theos was playing the hypocrite on this one, he'd appreciated the gesture; but the other boys in the room might not have felt the same way, given the way Mahito was being glared at.

Esiah greeted everyone and sat down in his usual place.

-I can feel them, all those inquisitive looks around me, they want to seal me up and get my artifacts back, Mahito muttered, Theos thought he really had a flair for acting.

-Where's the teacher?

Esiah was also curious about this, but she knew there was no hope, so she asked her friends around her. Apparently, all the teachers had been summoned as soon as they arrived and they didn't know any better.

And to answer Theos's question: "Eh eh," said Mahito with a superior air.

It was that moment when your friends made a move that only the privileged few could understand, and as in poker you had to follow, Theos understood what it was all about and took his place on a chair.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

A few seconds later, the room's benches came together to form a small group.

-Did you play the game I lent you yesterday?

-I've reached the maximum level! I really enjoyed talking to the goddess at the end, it was a wonderful scenario.

Hmm

But it was just a feeling, Theos couldn't really remember the content of the discussion, and as Mahito mentioned this game, he was thinking about why he couldn't remember those parts, just the feeling remained.

And Mahito wondered if there was a road like that, it would be fairer if they all wondered that after all the majority had already played that game, if that road really existed then this Theos is a monster.

-I don't remember very clearly what the goddess was saying though!

Mahito was rather depressed at how long it had taken him and he hadn't had anything like it, -It took me a month to play this game! he spat.

His friends thought he just sucked, everyone had speedrun the game for sure, but a month for such an rpg, you'd have to be the busiest guy in *the HU.

-You just suck!

-It took me a week," asserted Suzuki, while Theos nodded in agreement that the time was right.

-Four days for me, Jack wasn't a great player, so it was respectable.

Cheng, said he'd finished the game in five days, unlike Theos who only plays when recommended and for fun. Cheng was really passionate, so Jack, who finished the game earlier, surprised him a little.

Mahito stared at Theos.

-What's the matter, man?

-It's not fair that he's good at video games and always gets good grades, as well as being good at sports. In his head Mahito imagined himself having a good time on a game, then he realized that his grades were dropping at the same time, even though he was only imagining it he got chills.

-It's not unfair, man, I just know how to manage my time.

Everyone wondered what level of organization it took to be like that boy.

-You and Hina are the only exceptions in the group. She's a girl in an otaku group and you, frankly, don't look like an otaku.

This categorization came out of nowhere, the others thought, and Suzuki wondered if they knew that Otaku was originally a rather unappetizing term, but since the term has evolved, it's okay.

-Don't take it that way, guys, culture's supposed to bring people from all walks of life together, and let's face it, most of us have our own little worries.

On this point Theos wasn't wrong, they thought after a moment's realization, after all, culture had survived the Third World War.

But in the end, maybe they weren't wrong. Basically, an otaku is a person who practices indoor activities, video games, anime, etc...

Since year one, the term has gradually returned to its original definition: the more technology evolved, the more anyone could be an otaku.

During the previous era, an otaku was the kind of person who didn't adapt easily, in a sense most were recluses, and for the small percentage who made the effort to leave their homes, reality was a completely different world.

-Yes, a universe where Mahito, you and Theos Hikari can satisfy your wildest desires.

Theos enjoyed the time spent in their company, but if he was able to adapt so well, it wasn't because he was someone special; he just did what was expected of him, while respecting his convictions.

And naturally, he made a lot of friends, otaku or not.

A special person who considers himself special ends up attracting the wrath of the weak, and it's worth bearing in mind that it's not just the weak who have set themselves apart, it's been their experience.

But appearances were not all that could be taken for granted, for he had put in a great deal of effort to get where he was.

Hina had lifted her finger to her glasses, and everyone already knew what to expect from this girl. She may be cute and beautiful, but her penchant for yaoi made her uncontrollable.

-Manga isn't just pictures with text, no; it's more than that, it's a philosophical compendium, a book of life, and everyone has the right to enjoy this vision of the world - it's an extension of our imagination.

wow

Hina was saying something profound for once, well she was pasting words here and there, but most importantly it was cool, and so different so everyone was impressed.

-Why else do you think BL exists?

Eh???

a drop of blood coming out of his nose Theos made an effort not to imagine the scene that was starting to unfold in his mind.

But taboo is taboo, he just had to find something else.

-But why us?" wondered Theos, withdrawing all thoughts of this girl's cool attitude, she'd totally lost her mind.

-Why should I deprive myself of this budding love between you? Bl scenarios are the best.

But what was she seriously talking about, what were we talking about?

-And what's wrong with girls being otaku?

The whole room had turned around - the answer to this highly philosophical question was of interest to everyone.

Hikari had also stood up, as he was suffering from chunibyo, the last frontier of an otaku between our personal universe and the real world.

Although the question of where this barrier is in the year 999 does arise.

-Silence in the room!

It was the teacher coming in a few hours late, and in the blink of an eye, the room had reorganized itself and everyone was in their places.

The woman who came in was the teacher of the terminale B, mademoiselle Charlotte was a very beautiful woman, as a result of post-war interbreeding most of the individuals in the HU had racial specificities of almost every race, resulting in a beautiful woman with a generous shape like that found in ancient countries such as Cameroon, Guinea, Burkina, Gabon etc. with a white complexion, an Asian-style face shape and golden hair similar to those old Russians seen in retro films.

In short, miss Charlotte was a classy beauty, with many teachers chasing after her.

And had a good interactions with the students and a great kindness.

You could say that nature spoiled her.

Which doesn't make his life any easier.

-We've had a few administrative problems, but nothing too serious.

-Are you going to be all right, Charlotte?

This time the teacher's assistant hadn't been launched, and the teacher hadn't started it either; normally it could be used if the teacher was absent, so the problem must have been serious.

-It's the teacher and don't worry, it's nothing serious.

What a class, the students collectively thought her hair was floating in the wind, which it wasn't, there was no draft, but everything she did was classy except when...

-If it's serious, I feel like crying right now, I've got tons of documents to write, and I don't even know what's going on, what a life I'm cursed with!

In an instant she'd broken the mood, she'd ruined everything, Miss Charlotte may have been beautiful, intelligent and professional at times, but sometimes she was no light, just a child who couldn't grow up.

-Go home.

Theos wondered if she didn't look bad.

But how strange it is to cancel courses for administrative reasons, without prior notice, or maybe there was something fishy going on, but who cares!

I'm off to administration bye-bye, and may the delegate follow me.

She had a smile that made it clear he was in for a rough ride, Theos had turned down the job to keep his free time.

She left the room, but she still looked terrible.

As Theos got up to go back inside, Mahito pointed him out.

-There's Eshia!

She came over to me and started talking shyly.

-Say, Theos, would you mind walking me home? I'd like to talk to you too!

Thinking about what had happened in the morning, it was only normal.

-All right, then.

As they left the room, their friends started waving at each other; it was as if they were at a soccer match.

Miss Charlotte, who wasn't far enough away, turned back.

-Are you in a hurry to get home?

I'd like to say go straight home today, don't hang around in the streets.

She crossed her hands as everyone left the room, and finally Theos and Esiah took the elevator out of the building.
