2. The warm embrace of death.

Time passed by, it was finally time for P.E., and Shuuta was wholly excited; he heard that the P.E. teacher was a beauty in her 20s and that she's been single her whole life!

Granted, Shuuta didn't know how a beauty would stay single for that long, was her standards too high? Or was she a lesbian?

Most of the third-year students tried to hit on her, but she was ruthless towards all the poor fallen men. Her punishment became a daily thing, even teachers were terrorized by the things she did.

She gained a badass yet heart-shattering nickname: The Warm Embrace of Death.

"Do you think that she likes BDSM? I mean, she likes to punish her students, so I might as well take one for the team and find out! Heh heh." Kazuma's mouth was drooling uncontrollably; Shuuta just frowned at him. How the heck did he befriend such a guy?

All the boys were staring in amazement and lust at the gym; the teacher really was hot! So mature and so well proportioned, her hair was dyed purple and short. Her bosoms were the full attention of all the boys; even Shuuta was surprised. He respected women like an Olympic sport but couldn't take his eyes off the majestic beauty.

"What are you all staring at?!" Her face suddenly turned berated and ominous, her aura turned to a beast, and her eyes shone red like a demon!

That unexpected change startled everyone to the point that they all looked away in unison.

It looked stupid; even the girls glanced at everyone with pity and disgust.

Boys are pigs!

I'm going to puke!

Scumbags...

They're all the same.

All the girls uttered similar thoughts...

"All of you dumbasses! My name is Hatake Mikazuki, just to make things clear, whoever attempts to hit on me, they'll get my worst punishment ever; you might as well call it death."

Shuuta gulped in disturbance; he reflexively gazed at Kazuma to see his reaction but frowned again. Kazuma's eyes shone brilliantly, and his drool was water-falling.

'You masochist...' Shuuta was disgusted.

He turned to his classmates and saw different reactions, some were scared, others were still mesmerized, and a few...just like Kazuma, were excited by her sadistic way.

"Okay, you all start warming up cause we're going to play my favorite game! Dodge Ball!" Mikazuki shouted excitedly; her killing intent was oozing out of her. Shuuta could feel sharp blades pressing against his skin when he met her eyes.

"Oh! And by the way, we're doing girls vs. boys. Whoever wins, I'll let them punish the loser team."

After hearing Mikazuki, the gym went into an uproar. The girls were fired up. The boys were rendered speechless. They all knew the girls with a bit of motivation could become hungry beasts.

Suddenly, Shuuta's aura turned; it became heavier on the students.

"Good grief, I don't wanna get punished...so I might as well try." Shuuta's eyes shone bright, veins popped out of his arms, and his breathing was visible as if smoke came out. And his pose almost seemed out of an anime.

His eyes shifted towards the group of girls, and with a deep tone, he said: "Come!" His imposing manner startled the girls; even the boys were fascinated by his actions.

"Oh? The new meat is trying to act tough? In that case, I'll be entering the game." There was an evil grin on Mikazuki's face; both imposing manners were quarreling. There were sparks when their eyes met.

"If you get hit once, I'll punish you personally, brave one!" Mikazuki smiled arrogantly.

"If I hit you, I'll punish you myself!" Shuuta screamed from the top of his lungs to make things clear. Shuuta never backs down to a challenge. Aunty didn't raise no...

Shuuta clenched his fist and smiled back at Mikazuki.

"Interesting, you have guts, kid. Fine! It's on!" Mikazuki then starts placing all the rubber balls in the middle of the basketball court.

"I can't wait to punish you." Mikazuki licks her lips, looking like a true monster...wasn't she a beauty?!

That rendered everyone speechless; a freshman just challenged "The Warm Embrace of Death."

'She seems formidable, I can sense her athlete aura, this might be harder than I thought.' Shuuta sighed inwardly, fixating his gaze upon his comrades.

CLAP!*

Shuuta clapped hard to take everyone's attention, and it worked.

"Let's show the girls who's the boss guys!" Shuuta yelled, trying to motivate the dudes; finally coming back to their senses, they all screamed as a team, looking like soldiers.

"I guess you haven't changed Shuuta." Kazuma smirked, following his commander.

"Alright, everyone to your corners!" Mikazuki instructed everyone to get ready.

The atmosphere tensed up a notch; it was silent and eerie; some dudes were sweating nervously, and some others were shivering out of concern.

Their lives were on the line; it means punishment, and punishment equals death if the team loses.

Anyhow, both teams were nervous, except for Shuuta and Mikazuki; they were ready to go, calmly, and motivated.

GOOO!!

Mikazuki finally destroyed the silence, and both teams rushed to the middle of the court; approximately 20 rubber balls were placed there.

Next thing, the court became a warzone; rubber balls felt like bullets crossing fire, people from both sides were constantly "dying", and groans and wails overtook the court!

Thunk!*

The red-haired boy suddenly caught a rubber ball. Shuuta had really good reflexes, using it to his advantage, making him the reviver.

On the other hand, Mikazuki was evading all the bullets majestically with flips and backflips, spins, and side flips, but that wasn't the best part yet! She was like a cannon; her throws made whoever got hit...unconscious, and they were precise too.

Both teams were equally matched; there were no signs of both teams losing at all!

But then! Shuuta got in a pinch! Almost all the girls were targeting him, like a firing squad; they mercilessly shot at him.

Shuuta countered everything that came in his path; he parried all the other rubber balls with the rubber ball in his hand.

'I can't get hit! Or the boys are done for!' Shuuta yelled through his temple, he can't let his comrades down!

Mikazuki started targeting Shuuta; if she gets rid of him, the team will lose its balance and deteriorate.

Shuuta realized that as well because a cannon almost struck his forehead, he evaded it by god's luck.

"I guess I have no option!" Shuuta's stance changed; he then did a ninja pose as if he was recharging his energy, his eyes closed, and his mind relaxed.

Out of the blue, his red hair started floating as if he was underwater. A blueish with whitish aura started emanating out of him. The pressure around him got dense.

'Maximum Concentration!' His eyes illuminated the court, blinding anyone who came into eye contact, and his aura got denser and denser every second.

"What is this?!" Mikazuki felt his power rising; she knew that she had to finish him off or she'll lose against his new student.

Exaggerating of course.

Her stance also changed into a martial arts defense pose; she then got her hands close together, raising her aura into the ball in her hands.

"Pressured Cannon!" Unexpectedly Mikazuki shoots a powerful strike; a ball darts out of her hands like a sniper bullet cutting throughout the air, stiff and precise; people even heard the air being sliced by the ball.

The rubber ball suddenly disappeared.

BOOM!*

Mikazuki's eyes were trembling in disbelief; she couldn't believe what happened.

The lad stood there, with his right arm stretched out, and his hand opened.

But the ball was cemented on his face for a brief of 3 seconds and gave him a red mark on his dumb face.

The whole class thought of him highly, but now it all decimated in an instant.

Poor bastard.

Shuuta dropped to the floor almost instantly and started twitching like a freshly dead animal.

"Lucky!" Kazuma was envious now. Shuuta was about to get punished personally by "The warm embrace of death."

Every men's eyes glowed red, including Kazuma, the envy on their hearts will never fade.

"What a bunch of idiots."

"Really! Boys are stupid!"

"They're soo perverted....it almost makes me throw up."

A rain of emotional bullets killed everyone after hearing berated words from the girls.

"~Heh heh heh~...Oh, I'm going to have fun breaking you..." Mikazuki's eyes shone red, and a menacing grin popped on her face.

...

In the infirmary, Shuuta is laid on a cheap-looking bed; his face still had scars from the previous battlefield, a nurse stood next to him with a baffled look.

"Good grief, first day, first patient...but this one seems rather odd, he has a concussion and a broken nose...HOW THE HELL?! What kind of accident breaks a nose and gives a concussion?!" The nurse really lost it; on her first day of school, an idiot already got curb stomped.

The nurse just frowned at him.

"I have a feeling that this might not be your last time being here...reckless boy." The mature lady that oozed with sex appeal then seated next to him and placed an ice bag on his forehead; he had a big bruise there.

Slide!*

The nurse turned to see a figure enter the room, changing her expression, and squinting her eyes. She wondered why she came to her.

"Is he okay?" A somewhat familiar voice spoke.

"Sister? What are you doing here?" The nurse sounded surprised, and yes, her sister is none other than Mikazuki. What a rather turn of events.

"I'm here because I caused his injuries." Mikazuki laughed wryly.

"Oh! That makes sense now!" Bamboo was heard as she tapped her hand with her balled hand.

"Hey! What does that mean!"

"It's just...you're always overdoing things, you never hold back even against your students, what kind of lady are you?!" Her expression turned instead rebuked. She's not a decent lady at all!

"I...I think it's fun! I like teasing students...heh heh, that's all." Her answer was stiff; her sister just glared at her.

"So...it's fun breaking noses and giving concussions to the students, I see, that's what youth feels like, huh?.....WRONG!!! I'll punish you for your actions, I'll change the way you treat others...Hmmm." On the other hand, her gaze shifts to Shuuta, he was already woken, but he was turned away from them.

"Heh heh!" The nurse chuckled.

"Heh heh?" Shuuta repeated her chuckle in confusion.

"You'll make it up for this boy; I want you to go on a date with him!" The nurse grinned like a devil.

"WHAAAAT?!" Shuuta and Mikazuki both screamed their lungs out in conjunction.

"Wha-what are you saying? A student-teacher relationship? If we get found out..." Mikazuki's eyes almost popped out of her sockets. Shuuta was staggered by shock; his blank expression got glued to his face until he arrived home.

...

"Shuuta! Shuuuuta! SHUUTA!" Hanako waved her hand in front of Shuuta's face, but nothing helped to get his senses.

'Is he brain dead?' Hanako thought to herself.

He was just sitting on a couch stiff and dead, like a zombie; you could even see his soul coming out of his mouth!

Poor Bastard.
