Chapter 74: A confession and...(*spoiler*)
(A/N Sorry, there won't be an extra chapter today :( I'm too tired, need to sleep a bit longer today, so don't expect it.

Ryoto: "Yes, I'm from another universe."
Everyone in the room looked between each other awkwardly. How should they respond to something like this?
Irina leaned towards Karasuma and whispered.
Irina: "I think he hit his head a bit too hard."
Ryoto: "You know that I can hear you."
Koro-sensei: How about we listen to him first before making any judgment."
Koro-sensei stepped in. I would believe him if he didn't have first aid hidden behind his back.
No matter, I'll try to explain as .uch as possible.
Ryoto: "Everything started when I got these eyes, and a girl teleported in my bathtub..."
I explained my everyday life to them so they could better understand it. I added the details that would make it evident that there were differences between mine and this world, such as the Magical Kyouko show, my manga, and the Tenjouin family.
I didn't say anything about a system and my past life. These were the secrets I wasn't ready to share. Maybe someday, or maybe never. Who knows.
Ryoto: "...And then I woke up in my new apartment."
Irina was listening attentively while Karasuma was pinching the bridge of his nose.
Tadaomi: "What is your goal in telling us all that, assuming that it's true."
Ryoto: "What do you mean, assuming?"
Tadaomi: "Can you prove that you're from another universe?"
I opened my eyes, to which he pointed at Koro-sensei.
Ryoto: "Really?"
Tadaomi: "For all I know, you could be lost experiment, a trained assassin, or spy. These answers would also explain why it's impossible to find your identity. It's also a lot more believable than whatever you said."
Ryoto: "I was born in 1991."
Tadaomi: "Which we can't prove."
Ryoto: "I have unbelievable abilities."
Koro-sensei: "I'm confident that he is not an enemy if that's what you're worried about."
Tadaomi: "...I'll trust you on this one."
Koro-sensei: "And please treat him as usual. I want to give him as normal of school life as possible."
Tadaomi: "You mean as normal as it can be while trying to kill his teacher."
Karasuma unusually tried to make a joke.
Koro-sensei: "Let's leave the jokes to me, and you'll do what you do best, looking serious and angry."
A vein popped on Karasuma's forehead, and before he could attack Koro-sensei, the Mach 20 flying teacher had already left.
(Ryoto's pov)
The next day I remembered what I had forgotten. It's Kaede. I wanted to deal with her yesterday, but I completely forgot about it because of my confession.
No worries, I'll just do it today.

Today was a strange day. Karasuma didn't act like I murdered his whole family, and Irina didn't react to my provocation and gave me a look of pity.
What's going on? Koro-sensei doesn't act unusual, so I don't think it's about yesterday.
To test out the waters, I just walked to the tree to lay down and take a nap during PE. I obviously didn't, but I observed Karasuma's reaction. He didn't do anything. Just looked at me and returned to conduct a lesson. I'm starting to get a bit scared.
I called Irina by her nickname a few times, and she just smiled gently at me and asked what was wrong.
Am I in a simulation? Is anything real at the moment? It can't be an illusion. I'm immune to them. Maybe hallucination?
I decided to talk with Karen about the possibilities.
'Karen? Karen, are you there?'
Karen: "Yes, darling, what can I do for you?"
I instantly paled and started sweating.
