The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 32 - Nemuri Kayama (I)

"So, what exactly did you write about me in your report?" I asked Rumi who was laying beside me on the grass after she woke up. It was Saturday and I was at Rumi's house. Like we had decided before, I came here, had another fight with Rumi and she ended up unconscious. It still bothered her that she lost to me but it was a kind of rivalry.

"It was boring and useless so I wrote the most important thing, 'I want you as my partner'. Ugh... I feel awful" Rumi said while rubbing her side. Damn... that one line was much more valued than any other reports she could have wrote about me. ​​

Suddenly my phone satrted to ring, I pulled out my phone and saw it was Nemuri. Ah... immediately some mixed feeling popped into my mind. I already had a date with her, I had fun on that date, if I have to say but she was so perverted that even Jiraya would kneel in front of her and beg her to be his teacher. After going on a single date with Nemuri I am sure that if Jiraya was super pervert then Nemuri would be Ultra Pervert. I finally accepted the call.

"Hello! Whatcha doing handsome?" Nemuri's perverted voice was heard from the other side. I looked at the side towards Rumi who had already noticed the caller and was somewhat interested.

"Nothing... I was at Rumi's house, training!" I told her.

"Uhmm... so you wanna go on another date... um tomorrow?" Nemuri asked me quite nervously, that wasn't even like Nemuri. She was never nervous... and I mean never ever when I had seen her or talked with her. This piqued my interest, I really wanted to what is making her so nervous.

"Yeah, sure. I would love to" I told her. I immediately heard a squealing sound from the other side. She also didn't squeal like a school girl. Something is definitely going on.

"Then how about 9 am tomorrow, in front of the mall?" I asked her ignoring her squeals of happiness because Rumi was looking at me with piercing eyes.

"Don't worry handsome, I will be there" after saying that Nemuri cut the call.

I placed my phone in my pocket and looked at Rumi who was still looking at me with critical eyes.

"So, what did that perverted woman want from you?" Rumi asked me.

"She wants to go on a date with me" I told Rumi. Rumi was taken aback slightly.

"Didn't you have a girlfriend... yeah, Momo. So are you cheating on her?" Rumi asked me with a stern face.

"No, Momo knows that I have been talking with Nemuri. Momo doesn't mind sharing" I answered Rumi. Rumi didn't know what to say to that, so she just kept quiet.

After a few minutes I got up and helped Rumi to get up. I changed back to my normal clothes and bid farewell to Rumi which she happily returned. While returning home I started to think about Nemuri and mine's first date.

Well it started pretty normally like any other date but soon it turned into something else due to Nemuri's perverted comments. Some people heard her and looked at her oddly which didn't even bother her in the slightest. It was really awkward for me but it was quite fun, spending time with her.

When the date ended Nemuri looked pretty sad and I could clearly say that it wasn't acting or anything. She really felt sad that our date came to an end. I didn't particularly bother about that at that time, she seemed pretty open and liberal so I didn't know what made her so sad. I particularly didn't start anything serious with her so it wasn't a matter. I liked her but that doesn't mean that I will love her or get together with her without personally knowing her. That is the reason I accepted the second date with her. Even if we don't end up in a relationship, it's pretty fun to spend time with her.

I finally returned to Yaoyorozu compound and found that our study group was already here. I was tired and I need to practice my lightning so I decided to skip. Momo can always help me later and from what I know it was already half-way over. I pulled out a box of led bulbs and a few resistors. This was the method I decided to train my control. I would pass electricity through the circuit and try not to melt anything. I have been doing this for about 12 days. It has been two weeks since the study group has started. It meant I had another two weeks before finals started.

My control and power over lightning have increased massively. I have a second Quirk and that is confimed now. I had previously thought that I have been subconsciously using my lightning to manipulate my body's bio-electricity to boost my physical body. But now that I am learning to manipulate lightning, I could clearly say that my body's bio-electricity was as normal as it could be.

I was working on two moves... first one was pretty usual but op stuff Railgun. I don't know if I could do it but I don't want to practice it here in Yaoyorozu compound and another one was Rupture... it was named Rupture after seeing the effects. It wasn't a nice thing to try on any living being. It was kind of similar attack which was used by Narberal Gamma to destroy the skeletal dragon but it's range was short. It usually vaporised the target, I tried it today near Rumi's home and vaporised two trees. This was a villian reserved attack when others were not looking. It would be a good attack if I kill someone, I would no longer need to search for places to hide the bodies... hehehe!!

Turning off my dark side I continued my training with my lightning. No one knew about this except Rumi and Momo. Rumi didn't care much as long I kept fighting her. Momo was very much interested but she was busy with her own Quirk so she couldn't help me that much.

After that the day was completely normal, after dinner I sneaked into Momo's room, she helped me with the stuff I missed today. I told her about Nemuri's odd behavior. She too found it odd but couldn't say anything conclusive. After our discussion was done we went straight to sleep, no naughty stuff today because it was Momo's that time of the month.

The next day, I dressed casually and left the house. I got off the bus and checked that I arrived 15 minutes early, so I decided to wait but as I walked I could see Nemuri was already there pacing back and forth, she looked pretty nervous and anxious. It's odd... I am gonna keep my senses sharp.

I silently sneaked behind her and tapped on her shoulder, she seemed to jump out of her skin and shrieked slightly and jumped around to replace me.

"Damn...!! My heart almost jumped out of my mouth" Nemuri spoke and put a hand over her heart trying to calm it down. I must have given her a nice scare. After she finally calmed down her face lit up like a christmas tree in happiness.

"Today is the best day ever... I am so happy today that I could just die!" Nemuri said while linking her arm with me and pulling me along with her. Ummm... we didn't even start our date so I don't know why she became so happy to see me. Just a few moments ago she was so nervous and anxious... it rang some warning bells in my head but I let her lead me.

She dragged me to a karaoke bar and booked a room for both of us. The receptionist looked at us strangely but fortunately wasn't able to recognize neither of us. For Nemuri I can understand because she was wearing a hat and shades and I wasn't as famous as her so it was alright. It was much better if no one recognized us.

After we entered the room and Nemuri received our drinks order, we finally sat down. Nemuri played a song... it didn't look like she wanted to set up mood for sex, so it must be so that no one could spy on us. My guess was correct after that she checked the room for any hidden cameras or recording devices. Damn she could have just asked me... finally she sat down when she was sure that no one would hear us.

"Hah... we can talk here safely" Nemuri said. Currently she was completely out of her perverted nature.

"I didn't know if all of that was needed so that we could just talk!" I deadpanned. Nemuri's smile immediately turned perverted and grabbed my hand. She didn't seem to be trying to seduce me so I let her do it...

She gestured me to stand up which I did... and she dropped on one knee. No... this isn't what I think it is right? Fuck... what this flying fuck is this...

"Marry me, Itsuki Reo!" Nemuri spoke, her voice was completely serious. What the fuck is this? She is definitely missing some screws from her head... asking a person to marry you, just on your second date isn't normal... it's even out of the league of weird category.

"Don't you think it is very fast... I mean very very fast?!" Unable to keep calm I shouted.

"Ummm... yes. You are the first person to go on a second date with me so I decided to bag you" she spoke like it was a matter of fact and she sounded to be proud of this achievement... wait! did she say first person to go on a second date with her???
