Baka to Science Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Test prep

Akihisa slept peacefully on his bed, after he fainted his friends moved him to his bed with Minami and Himeji watching over him. “I can’t believe he actually fainted.” said Kouta, “I would be jumping for joy if I learned I suddenly made over a million yen.”

“It’s Akhisa, so chances are he was just to dumb to fully understand it and passed out.” said Yuuji before turning back to the computer where Mia and Yuuko were looking at Akihisa’s set up. “So it’s all legit or does Akihisa need to return the money?”

“It looks to be legit,” said Mia as she looked at the numbers, “I just can’t believe one of my students is making more money than me?”

“The short amount of time is more surprising,” said Yuuko, “He’s only been doing this for a short amount of time and yet he’s made so much money from so many people. Are these people bots by chance?”

“Nope,” said Akira. “I double checked them before I left america. I asked a friend of mine who is a computer wiz to double check them, each of those donations are from different people, all real, not a fake person or bot. None of them were even doubling up either.”

“Wow,” said Himeji, “If that keeps up he won’t have to worry about money ever.”

“Yeah, it looks like money won’t be a problem at all.” said Minami as she felt a slight weight about money lift off her shoulders. ‘Maybe then we won’t have to worry so much if something were to happen and we needed to drop out of school.’ thought Minami as she thought about starting a family early.

“I’m jealous.” said Yui, getting the room's attention. “I still have to keep up a budget each month and one of my students is on track to never having to worry about a budget at all.”

“Yeah that does sound nice,” said Hideyoshi as he remembered the amount of money some of his costumes cost, but as he thought about it he noticed Akira’s face looking annoyed. “Are you okay, you don’t look so happy that your brother is making money.”

Akira looked at Hideyoshi and then noticed the room was looking at her, “Well it’s not the money itself that is the problem, it's more of where it came from.”

Mia blinked, “Huh what do you mean, I thought you said all of the donations were legit.”

“They are.” said Akira, “One other fact my friend found out while tracking to see if the accounts were real is the fact that the majority of people watching my brother and the overwhelming majority that are donating to my brother are all WOMEN!”

The room went dead silent, “.....Eh?” squeaked a few before….”WWWWWHHHHHAAAAAAATTT?!!” yelled Minami and Himeji in utter shock.

“No way, you’re kidding right?” asked Kouta in disbelief.

“I wish i was,” said Akira, “Somehow my brother’s super cute face has somehow enticed the females of the internet.” Suddenly there was a fire in Akira’s eyes as she put on a very serious face, “Soon it won’t be long before some of them try to take my little brother’s innocence. As his older sister I won’t let that happen, any girl that wants to homerun with my brother will have to go through me!”

Mia then saw as Himeji and Minami looked away to avoid Akira’s gaze and Yui suddenly found something interesting on the wall. Mia decided to break this up by giving Akira a small round of applause, “That is wonderful, very moving but I just can’t really take all that seriously since you are still wearing a bathrobe.”

Akira blinked and looked down and realized she was right and she was still wearing just the bathrobe. “Oh right, I guess I should go and change.”

“You don’t have to.” Yelled Kouta quickly before getting a karate chop from the behind by Yuuji.

“Give it a rest, will ya,” said Yuuji.

“Ugh what happened?” Suddenly Akihisa shot up sitting in his bed, “is someone touching my kitchen?”

“Akihisa.” said both Minaimi and Himeji, happy to see the boy awake again.

“Well welcome back to the land of the living.” said Mia

“Did you sleep well?” asked Yui

“Hold it, what was that?” asked Hideyoshi.

“Did you just ask about your kitchen?” asked Yuuko.

Shouko then came back to the room, “Hey everyone, snacks are ready, oh welcome back Akihisa, I hope you don’t mind but I borrowed your kitchen.”

Akihisa looked as if he wanted to say something but decided against it, “It’s fine,” said Akihisa as he rubbed the back of his head, “I just had a strange dream that I suddenly had more than a million yen.”

“That wasn’t a dream.” said Yuuji bluntly.
 “What?”

~o~

Soon all of them were either sitting around the living room or table as they began to eat the food Shouko had prepared, but Akihisa was still in a bit of a daze. “I can’t believe it, I actually have money now.”

“Well you’re not the only one,” said Yuuji as he popped a few cookies into his mouth, “Wow Shouko these cookies are fantastic.”

Shouko smiled at her boyfriend, “Thanks, it’s an old family recipe, I’m just surprised Akihisa had all the ingredients necessary to make them.”

“Oh I was planning on making some desserts next time I stream.” said Akihisa as he remembered his plans.

“Oh really, I’ll pay you back then.” offered Shouko.

“Don’t bother,” said Akira, getting their attention from the table, “Akihisa will no longer be doing any form of streaming from now on.”

“WHAT?” yelled Akihisa as he stood up tall looking at his sister, “What do you mean I’m not?”

“I mean you are no longer going to be streaming from here on out.” said Akira firmly. “I don’t mind if you wish to keep playing video games in your free time but you are no longer allowed to stream any of them.”

“What why not?” asked Akihisa, “I’m actually making money from this, an incredible amount.”

“It doesn’t matter how much money you are receiving, I will not let my brother keep selling himself on the internet.” stated Akira.

“I’m not selling myself at all,” argued Akihisa, “I’m just playing some games and cooking. What's wrong with that?”

“Playing video games and cooking won’t get you anywhere in life. If you need the money I will happily lend you some.” 

“You’re wrong.” Everyone turned to the voice and was surprised it was Yuuko. “Akihisa has mentioned it before but he wants to become a chef after highschool and from what we’ve seen today, can you really dispute he has a real talent for it.”

“Yes, I can.” said Akira firmly as she stared down Yuuko. “Being a chef requires concentration, being able to handle oneself under stressful situations and to be able to communicate clearly with a team. Akihisa is clumsy, foolish, he has constantly made mistakes before and fumbled over himself. If he was in a stressful kitchen he could cut himself with a knife or burn himself by mistake. Chefs are required to know their way around several different plants and animals that if they are not cooked right could make a person sick or worse. I love my brother dearly but how am I supposed to trust him with the knowledge of a kitchen if he can’t even handle the non dangerous knowledge of school.”

Before Akihisa could speak, Mia stepped forward, “Uh excuse me, I’m Akihisa’s teacher and he and the other kids have made quite a bit of strides in their education. I don’t know when’s the last time you saw Akihisa last, but he’s improved since then.”

Yui nodded, “That’s true even the other teachers can see that he isn’t the same as when he first started this year.”

Akira was silent as she looked at the two adults, ‘Clearly I insulted their pride as teachers,’ She then looked at Yuuko, ‘But then why did this one speak up, does this little tramp have feelings for my Aki?’ A dark aura appeared around Akira but it was clear that the three weren’t wavering. “Fine then, Akihisa.”

“Yeah.” spoke up Akihisa.

“If you want to keep doing what you're doing then let’s make a deal.” said Akira before her eyes narrowed, “You’re midterms are coming up right, if you want to keep streaming and your dream of being a chef then I want you to Ace your midterms.”

“WHAT!” yelled out the room except Akihisa.

“Ace midterms! Is she crazy?” asked Kouta.

“Passing is one thing but acing midterms is a different beast altogether.” stated Hideyoshi.

“That's a bit unfair,” said Yuuji. “Isn’t this a little extreme?”

“Aki.” whispered both Himeji and Minami, worried about their boyfriend. 

“Well Aki? You up for it?” asked Akira as she made sure to max out the pressure of her gaze at Akihisa.

“Deal.” said Akihisa so simply it surprised the room, Akihisa couldn’t help but chuckle a little at his sister’s surprised face, ‘Sorry sis but in my past time, I had to stare down angry chefs holding cleavers. Your glare doesn’t even compete with some of those angry bastards.’

Akira raised an eyebrow, “Very well then Aki, show me how much my brother has grown.”

“I will,” Akihisa then turned to Mia and Yui, “I have a quick question?”

“No, we are not going to give you the answers.” said both Mia and Yui simultaneously.
 “I wasn’t going to ask that.” replied Akihisa quickly. “I was hoping you can get me out of the remedial work so I can study more.”

Mia and Yui looked at each other before smiling at Akihisa, “We should be able to do that.” said Mia.

“Especially if we tell the principle that you have a bet between you and your sister.” said Yui, “Stuff like that always gets a pass with her.”

“I think that just means she has a gambling problem.” said Mia before turning to the room, “Alright then it’s settled, all of you better study hard not just for Aki but yourselves, I want all of you acing this thing if possible.”

“Yes ma’am.” said the students of class F.

“That also goes for you two as well.” said Yui as she looked at Yuuko and Shouko.

“You don’t have to worry about us.” said Yuuko, “We’ll pass and we’ll make sure everyone else does as well.” Shouko nodded in agreement.

What Akira felt was an impossible task for her brother suddenly felt a lot more viable and that scared her and others noticed. “Get used to it.” said Mia, “These brats will continue to surprise you and when they pass you owe us.”

Akira narrowed her eyes at Mia, “We shall see.”

~o~

Next day at school Akihisa and the others stayed after hours at the school having a study session, over the next few days this became a regular thing and surprised many teachers, they even had Shouko, Yuuko and even Aiko joined in to help out.

“So do you guys really think you can ace the test?” asked Aiko.

“No choice,” said Akihisa as he kept reading the textbook but he had to admit that the words are blurring together., “It’s do or die.”

“How about the rest of class F?” asked Aiko.

“We’re trying to teach them,” said Yuuji, “Some of them are putting their asses in high gear after seeing the rest of us get serious but really it’s just our group who are really invested into this.”

“Though all of you are doing great,” said Shouko, “All of your scores are improving greatly.”

“Yeah it’s safe to say that all of you are going to at least pass the exam,” said Yuuko, “Though all of you better be aiming higher than that.”

“Don’t worry sis, we are.” said Hideyoshi. 

Even Kouta agreed, “We can’t let Ms.Shiono and her boobs down.” This caused many to give him a side glare.

Aiko just giggled at Kouta, “Oh so is that what you're doing this for, then what would you do if I offered a picture of myself in a bikini.”

Kouta’s eyes shot to Aiko as a small trail of blood began leaking from his nose, “Really?”

“Ace the test and I’ll make it a micro.” she said with a wink.

Kouta immediately went back to studying but it wasn’t long until his text book was covered in blood coming out of his nose. “Just…a…little…more…” said Kouta as he tried to stay awake with the little blood he had left.

Yuuji closed his textbook as he moved it away from the blood on the table, “Okay I think this will be a great time for a break.”

“Fantastic,” said Akihisa in a slump. Akihisa then got up and stretched before hitting the restroom. When he came back he found the only one left was Yuuko who was still looking at the books. “Hey Yuuko, not taking a break?”

Yuuko looked and smiled, “I’m fine, I’m still good to keep going.”

“Well okay, but don’t push yourself too hard,” said Akihisa before remembering something, “Hey Yuuko can I ask you something, why did you stand up for me when my sister told me I should quit my dream of being a chef, I’m not ungrateful but why?”

Yuuko blinked for a moment before a slight blush crossed her face. “Well I am in the same boat…sort of. You see, after you told me about our goal of becoming a chef, I thought about my life and what I enjoy doing. I started a blog and it’s actually been going well, it’s gotten quite a bit of traffic from others talking about books and characters, I even have made a little bit of money from some ads.”

“Oh wow, so i’m not the only one who has a few projects going.”

“No and it’s made me realize what I want to do in life,” said Yuuko as she took a deep breath, “I…I want to become a writer, I want to write stories that move people, like the stories my brother is in.” Yuuko closed her eyes as she expected some sort of retort or some sort of joke to make fun of her but nothing came.

“Oh wow, I can’t wait to read what you make,” said Akihisa with a sincere smile. “With some as brilliant as you writing I’m sure it’s going to be something great.”

Yuuko blinked for a moment, “You sure…you don’t think it’s a waste of time or my talents?”

“Of course not, good writing can move a lot of people, I know it may not be up your alley but games with a deep narrative are always great, a lot of them have such great stories I just can’t wait for the next one and that’s videogames. With your brother's help you might become the next Shakespeare….he is the Romeo and Juliet guy right?”

Yuuko couldn’t help but turn away to hide a laugh and a blush that appeared on her face. “You aren’t wrong, that’s Shakespeare.” said Yuuko before turning back to him slightly, “Hey Akihisa, when the test is over would….would you like to hangout with me?”

“Sure,” said Akihisa quickly with a smile on his face before he realized what she was asking. “Wai-”

Suddenly Yuuko’s phone went off, “Huh, Mom? One second.” said Yuuko as she answered the phone as she walked away, “Hey mom, yeah me and Hideyoshi are still studying at school.”

Akihisa watched as she walked away, “Did we just agree on a date?”

“Unbelievable”

“HUH?!” Akihisa turned around to see, “Minami, Himeji.”

“Wow I had no idea Yuuko actually liked you.” commented Himeji.

“Honestly Akihisa, just because you have two girlfriends now, doesn’t mean you can put your head in a gutter, you should have noticed sooner that she likes you.” said Minami to her boyfriend.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” Said Akihisa with an apologetic bow, “But what should I do now?”

Minami thought for a moment, “Well you have-”

“We could have a fourway.” said Himeji, cutting off Minami.

“What?” said Akihisa as he started to bleed from the nose.

“I swear I’m going to need to get a spare bottle for you.” said Minami as she placed a hand on Himeji’s shoulder, “Himeji, you need to contain yourself.”

“I know but I want more of Aki.” whined Himeji with a cute pout.

“Oh trust me girl, I know the exact feeling,” said Minami as she forced Himeji to look her in the eyes, “But we need to pass this test or else none of us will be able to have any fun for a while. Understand?”

Himeji sighed, “I understand.”

“Good,” said Minami before giving Himeji a kiss on the lips. “So hold it in for a little bit longer, and the same goes for you as well.” Before she pulled Akihisa in close for a kiss on the lips, before pulling back, “Now you better study mister or else you won’t get any of this anytime soon.” as she gestured to both her and Himeji.

“Don’t worry I will.” said Akihisa with confidence.

“Good boy.” said Himeji as she kissed Akihisa.

Though she was pulled back by Minaimi when she noticed it was getting really heated, “Whoa there girl.”

“Sorry.”

Akihisa cleared his throat, “I think I need a little bit of fresh air.”

~o~

Akihisa left the library, trying to think of the best place to calm himself before meeting back up with the group when he was suddenly pulled into a classroom. “HEY!”

“Shush, be quiet.”

Akihsia blinked and saw the two teachers, “Mia, Yui.

“Hey Akihisa,” said Yui as she gave him a cute wave.

Akihisa then quickly grabbed the two and pulled them into a huge. “I am so sorry!” he said quickly with his head between their chests. “I haven’t been a very good boyfriend.”

The two women blinked before Mia sighed while Yui chuckled, “Oh Akihisa we know it wasn’t your fault.” said Yui as she patted him on the head.

Akihisa looked up, “Really?”

“Of course, how were you supposed to know your sister was suddenly going to be showing up or the fact she would have such a ridiculous request for you.” said Yui with a sweet smile.

“Yeah, but it is my sister I guess I should have figured that much,” said Akihisa as he pulled back a little, “I just don’t know what I’m going to tell her or do with her and even worse because of this whole mess I still haven’t told either Minami or Himeji about you guys.” feeling really bad about that one.

“Not to mention Yuuko now,” Pointed out Mia before adjusting her glasses and leaning in close to Akihisa, “Which makes me wonder where did you get this magnetism from.”

“Magnetism?” repeated Akihisa in confusion.

“It just means you’re a great person.” said Yui as she hugged Akihisa from behind. “A one in a billion man.”

“I’d still feel better if I didn’t have to lie or hurt anyone,” said Akihisa before thinking of the others, “Would you guys mind if Yuuko joined at all?”

Mia gave him a smile, “Of course we wouldn’t, but you need to set that aside for now. You need to focus on your test for now, but the moment you get it back with an A we can help you with your girl trouble.”

“We’ve been coming up with ideas on how to help with your girl trouble and to help deal with your sister,” said Yui before lifting up her phone to show Akihisa. “We also thought we’d give you encouragement.”

The moment she turned the phone on, Akihisa was greeted with several photos of Mia and Yui in a variety of sexy outfits. Cosplay, sexy lingerie, bikinis and so much more.  Akihisa’s eyes went so wide as she tried to absorb each and every single image, “Oh wow….these are incredible.”

“And those are just pictures,” said Mia as moved in close to Akihisa’s face, “When you pass you’ll be able to get the real thing.”

Akihisa gulped down, “I need to go study.” he said before giving both of them passionate kisses before leaving to hit the books once more. “I need to ace this test.”
