Everyone assumed Tsukimi-sensei can’t beat Noah after the last exchange. However, Noah knows it is still unknown if he can win against Usa-sensei in her serious mode.
The reason he defeated Usa-sensei when it should have been an impossible fight was due to his Annihilation Fist and his Leap giving him the sudden burst of power and speed needed to one-shot Usa-sensei.
Once Usa-sensei prepares herself for his trump cards, Noah will find it hard to pull another surprise attack like that.
He is sure he can maintain parity with Usa-sensei but beating her would be hard if she is ready and serious.
Naturally, Noah can release his Limiter but that would defeat the purpose of his training.
His suppressed power will grow on its own. It would be a shame to forfeit this passive growth.
By throwing himself into crisis and hard fights, he is sure he can grow further. His hidden powers are reserved for a crisis.
Granted, Usa-sensei might not attack them after all.
Noah told them to use their time wisely.
“Become stronger, become so strong nobody can threaten you.”
His cohorts exchanged resolute expressions.
Tap tap tap
A student arrived at the classroom. It was clear from the footsteps that she was Lilith.
“Hmm?”
Lilith didn’t think there would be so many students near Noah.
“What’s going on here?”
The others exchanged a look before feigning nonchalance.
“It’s nothing.”
Tomoe nodded. Then, she looked at Lilith and Noah before bidding goodbye.
“Let’s go back to our seats.
Tomoe brought Miyabi away.
“Yeah, let’s go back.”
Tooru said before Lilith’s curious eyes fell on him.
“You’re the other Irregular.”
“Eh?”
Tooru didn’t expect her to greet him.
“Yes, my name’s Kokonoe Tooru.”
“Ahaha.”
Lilith chuckled.
“I am interested in you.”
“Hmm?”
Tooru turned dumb for a second there.
“What was that?”
“I don’t like to repeat myself.”
Lilith shrugged.
“Too bad, I decided my Duo would be Noah. Tooru, let us fight one day and let me see your Soul.”
Lilith sat down without waiting for Tooru’s reply. She wanted him to showcase his Shield Blaze. She truly would have things go her way.
Tooru and Aoi were slightly annoyed by her attitude.
“Sorry for making you wait.”
Lilith gave him a confident smile.
“Getting up from bed took more time than anticipated.”
Noah couldn’t help but avert his gaze when she brought the bed thing up. Lilith snickered.
Imari is also annoyed that Lilith is already talking with Noah like they were an item. Julie’s ahoge also twitched.
“Y-Yea, sure, you’re not just late.”
Imari tried to sound cheerful.
“This is already the second period, you’re super late.”
“Yeah?”
Lilith mumbled.
“If Noah wasn’t here, I would have skipped school.”
“Huh?”
Imari gasped.
“Is that fine though?”
“I already finished my high school education.”
Lilith said.
“Plus, I am Special so I get to do so.”
“R-really?”
Imari couldn’t deal with her. She turned to Noah for help.
“Well, according to your logic, I don’t need to come to school too.”
Noah sighed.
“I also finished my education, except I finished my university degrees.”
“You did?”
Julie and Imari both gasped.
Lilith also didn’t expect this outcome.
He isn’t lying. He established Fairy Tail in the universe of Black Bullet. He had neither time nor resources to staff his schooling team initially.
Thus, Noah took up the mantle of the educator himself. He absorbed multiple fields of knowledge by reading intensively. With his superhuman memory and comprehension, he quickly finished his university courses.
Their current curriculum is no problem for him.
“You don’t look like you’re lying.”
Lilith exclaimed.
“As expected of someone who I shared a bed with.”
The air froze.
“Lilith!”
Noah gasped.
“T-the same bed?”
Imari forcibly laughed.
“O-Oh, I see, you two slept in the same bed?”
Julie’s reaction is even more intense.
“Noah.”
Her red eyes wavered.
“You slept in the same bed as her?”
“J-Julie?”
Julie is emitting a fearful aura.
Noah cautiously approached her.
“A-Are you angry?”
Julie declared war on Lilith.
“Even if you’re his Duo, I will never cede the rights of bed-sharing to you.”
Lilith was amused by the challenge from this petite lady.
“Are you dictating your claims to me?”
“Yaa~”
Julie stood up before hugging Noah’s arm.
“I won’t let you have Noah!”
“Hor?”
Lilith narrowed her eyes.
“Interesting.”
The two ladies started emitting sparks by staring down at one another.
