I really need to get this topic done and over with. Bored with biology and would prefer to do more with physics, my weak point

Alice POV:

Today as usual, I am perfect.

My hair was done up in the super popular side ponytail, and my face had no blemishes at all. Even my uniform was carefully crafted to make me look good. An untucked shirt implies a casual nature, which makes me seem more approachable, and my skirt was shorter than the official designated length, just so those disgustingly perverted boys can ogle at how perfect my legs are.

Everything I do is to make me more popular. After all, being the female class representative, I have to be my best at all times. But at this school... it doesn't matter. All sense of logic gets turned on its head and ruined. No matter how beautiful I am, my red tie will always drag me to an inescapable suffering. Labelled as an "E Class" student.

I checked my SMS. Once again, there are messages from all sorts of people calling me a "slut" and "bitch". That I "suck Matsushita's dick" to stay popular. That I'm "a fake person" with "no fashion sense". That I "wear too much make up" and am "extremely defective".

Mou, shut up already.

I walked into class with my upbeat smile, even though our class was feeling dread. I went to my usual group of friends and began talking to them. As usual, Kou starts gossiping about the other girls in our school. Not like I care.

Gossip is the equivalent of junk food. No one can get enough of it, and all it is bad for you. I hate hearing it. A waste of my time, I say.

I zone out, and notice that Yukimura keeps looking at me when I'm not in his view. Considering that weekend we spent at Nora's house to study the menstrual cycle, I must be on his mind. That idiot makes his crush on me so obvious. If he wasn't so violent, I might actually consider him. But right now, a person like Nora is more easy to deal with.

"I'll be right back." I say to my friends. I leave to go to Yukimura, who starts acting like he wasn't doing anything beforehand.

"Sup, Sakigamiya-san. Last weekend was pretty good, we should do it again some time." He says.

"Whatever helps improve your grades! I love science, so teaching it to others is great!"

"Awesome! Should we go to yours next time?"

It's an obvious ploy to try to get closer to me. Nice attempt, but subtlety isn't your strength. The idea of Yukimura being in my apartment gives me chills. That guy is like a wild beast. Who knows what he'd do to me in blind lust.

"Hmm, I wonder. Maybe, if you get a good score on the next science mock exams."

At least this will make him a productive person, even just for this month.

"Shit, we have mocks at the end of this month, don't we? Damn it." Yukimura ruffled his hair.

"If you get anything higher than 80%, you can come over to my place."

"Seriously?! Alright, deal!" Yukimura cheered in a way I've never seen before. Jeez, just how much does he like me?

"By the way. During break time, you should talk to Mikazuchi-sensei about the second half of this topic."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll drag you and Nora along with me."

"Eh? Me? Why me?" I said with a cute voice to try and throw him off.

I don't think I could stand another second with Yukimura. Knowing he likes me makes things awkward, because he thinks I don't know.

"Cuz you were studying with us!"

"But I know about it already!"

"Revision then!"

And just like that, I was forced into Mikazuchi-sensei's remedial classes.

After school, me, Nora and Yukimura walked together to D Class, Mikazuchi-sensei's homeroom class. Nora had heavily prepared for this, bringing notebooks, highlighters and folders, while Yukimura was still acting casual, with no blazer on, sleeves rolled up, and top buttons undone.

"Excuse the intrusion." Yukimura nonchalantly knocked on the door and opened it with a cocky grin.

Well, one thing was for sure, D Class's classroom smelled better than ours. Immediately, Satou Ishigami got in our way. He's like Zyriot's best friend, or something. He's a weirdo... his hair covers one of his eyes and he has headphones on him all the time.

"Yukimura. What's your business with D Class?" Satou asked.

"Huh? Fuck out of my way, I need to see Mikazuchi-sensei for help with this thing."

"You? Studying?" Satou turned around and shouted to the class, "Guys, it's the end of the world, the defects want to learn!"

Immediately, the remaining people in D Class began giggling. I couldn't see Zyriot here, so it's not like he could calm them down.

"You want to try your luck, bastard?!" Yukimura snatched Satou's shirt and pulled him closer to his balled up fist. "I'll kill you!"

"Yukimura-kun, stop!" I grabbed his arm and he let go of Satou immediately. I sighed as Yukimura rubbed the gap between his eyes and groaned. "C'mon, let's not act so hostile."

"Oh, Sakigamiya-san, I didn't see you. Hey." Satou grew a little smirk seeing me.

"You suck off guys like him now? First it was Matsushita, now it's Yukimura, huh?" Shigeru Zenkichi said, joining Satou.

"How much did he pay you? Does he even have money? What a desperate slut!" Terasaka Soichiro laughed from the back of the room.

"Who's next? The little trap hiding behind you?" Satou continued the chain of slurs at us.

"Nah man, threesome, threesome!" Shigeru laughed.

"Sakigamiya's gonna get trap dick shoved up her pussy while Yukimura gets his sloppy seconds!" Terasaka laughed.

Yukimura punched the wall next to D Class. Their laughter heightened seeing him angry.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Yukimura screamed. "Stop insulting Sakigamiya-san you pieces of shit!"

"At least we're not in E Class. Where's your tie? We need to see just how pathetic you are." Satou said with a condescending smirk.

"You fucker!" Yukimura swung his fist.

Suddenly, cutting in between them was a white haired man with piercing red eyes. His forearm took the impact of Yukimura's powerful swing, and Satou staggered back. He looked up, and his face became grim.

"Phew, looks like I made it in time."

Mikazuchi-sensei turned to us and smiled. The teacher had intervened.

Shigeru and Terasaka stopped laughing. They looked at each other and decided to barge past us, leaving the class. Satou followed them, giving me a dirty look.

Idiots. Dirty idiots.

The rest of D Class moved out, following them. People like Takenaka Mikitaka, Imaishi Reo, and all the other stupid delinquents. On his way out, Takenaka knocked the folders out of Nora's hands, causing everything in his hands to fall out onto the floor.

They began laughing as Nora scavenged the floor for his things. I knelt down and helped him. I did feel bad for him.

How can Zyriot lead a bunch of nonsensical people like them? What does he use? Manipulation? Violence? Fear? I don't understand how they'd kowtow to him.

"I got your email Nora-san. Thanks for alerting me." Mikazuchi-sensei said, popping his suit with a smile. "You guys okay?"

Nora nodded. Yukimura didn't bother responding.

"Mostly, yes." I said. "Yukimura-kun's angry though."

He was red in the face and looked like he'd explode any minute now. Nora just hid behind him with a scared expression.

"Damn it, Mikazuchi-sensei, why didn't you let me hit him?! He was insulting these two!" Yukimura exclaimed.

"Violence is never the answer." He said. "Come in, your remedial lessons start today."

"How can you be a homeroom teacher to such... to such... to such dumb pieces of— of garbage?!" Yukimura tried to express his rage in a way a teacher would find acceptable.

"They're not bad people."

"They were slut shaming Sakigamiya-san, calling Nora a trap, and making fun out of me! How are they not bad people?!"

We took a seat as Mikazuchi-sensei set up his board. D Class actually has table and chairs, although being bad quality ones. The room had functional lights and blinds, but seemed like had a broken heater/cooling system. There was also a lot of rubbish on the floor and some graffiti. At least they get lockers in the back of their room.

"You guys were learning about the menstrual cycle, right?" Mikazuchi-sensei looked through his laptop.

"Yes, we want to learn about the second half now." I said.

"Perfect, I can teach you that!" Mikazuchi-sensei grinned and pulled out his stylus. He began writing on the board whilst simultaneously talking to us.

Time to tune in and focus. Even if he's a jokester teacher, he knows more than me. I must take that knowledge and become smarter than everyone else. I won't lose to you, A Class. I'll surpass you and become a successful doctor.

"Let's talk about hormonal methods of contraception. Yukimura-san, what's contraception?"

"Something... to prevent pregnancy?" Yukimura scratched his head.

"Yep, very good. We'll first explore oral contraceptives, alright? So, since human fertility is controlled by hormones, we can control fertility using hormonal forms of contraception. So, the oral contraceptive is most commonly known as the pill."

I know about the pill. The girls learnt about it in sex education class in middle school. Not sure what boys learnt. Probably condoms.

"The pill is taken by girls, so don't take it, Yukimura-san, Nora-san. It contains oestrogen or progesterone... or even a combination of both. These inhibit the production of FSH, which means...?"

"The ovum inside the follicle cannot mature." I said.

"Very good! There's one caveat though. Oestrogen at low levels stimulates the release of eggs. But at a high level, oestrogen will inhibit the FSH. Now, this is the important bit as to why the pill works so effectively. After taking the pill for awhile, egg development and release will stop completely. If there's no egg available, there can be no baby. So you guys can fuck to your heart's content!"

Yukimura began smirking and thrusting his hips. "Like this, sensei?" He laughed.

"Yeaaaah, Yukimura-san's got the right idea! Who's the lucky lady?"

"Dunno. Whoever it is, I hope they can handle my 10 inch dick!"

"Sakigamiya-san, please prepare your vagina thoroughly with lube." Mikazuchi-sensei clapped his hands together and prayed for me.

"Hang on, m-me?" I said with my ditzy voice. I knew what was going on, but playing an airhead is cute.

"Yukimura-san wants to fuck a girl, and you're the only one here. I'd prepare yourself if I was you."

"Distasteful joke, sensei." I deadpanned.

"A ha ha, you're not wrong. I apologise, I apologise. Was merely a jest of the sexual variant. Okay, fun and games are over. The benefit of the pill is that, if taken correctly, they are more than 99% effective and can reduce the risk of certain cancers. Isn't that great? However, there's some possible side effects. Like... changes in weight, mood, or blood pressure, due to the high levels of oestrogen. Don't worry though, modern pills contain much less oestrogen."

"What about contraceptive skin patches?" I asked. I heard those were popular.

"Contraceptive injections, implants and skin patches all fall under the same sort of deal. They contain a slow release of progesterone to inhibit the maturation and release of eggs. Now, let's move onto non-hormonal methods of contraception."

Mikazuchi-sensei began drawing six crude drawings on the board. Looks like a condom, diaphragm, a tube... needle? Calendar? Stop sign? Huh?

"As the name suggests, you can control fertility without hormones. We'll start with something everyone here knows from middle school sex-ed classes. This is a condom." He labelled his condom drawing. "It falls under the physical barrier methods. This diaphragm is also one of these physical barrier methods." He labelled his diaphragm drawing. "You know how to use these, so I won't spend too much time, but you gotta know these prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. Yukimura-san, give me a benefit of using a condom."

"Uh... they're quick and easy to use?" Yukimura shrugged.

"That's true. What's a disadvantage of using them, Nora-san?"

"They can tear or rip easily?" Nora said timidly.

"Perfect! Sakigamiya-san, this is for you. What's a disadvantage of diaphragms?"

"You need to put them in just before sex, and leave it several hours afterwards."

"Nice, you guys really do know your stuff. I'm a great teacher, aren't I?"

Not really, sex-ed is an easy thing to grasp.

"See this needle looking thing? It's called an intrauterine device, or an IUD. It's also known as a coil. Basically, these need to be fitted by a health professional and prevents the implantation of an embryo or release of a hormone. IUDs can remain in position for up to 10 years, but there is a small risk of causing an ectopic pregnancy."

"Ecto... what?" Yukimura repeated.

"Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb. This... unfortunately leads to... well, miscarriage. Don't worry, it's like a 1 in 90 chance for ectopic pregnancy."

"Those sounds like bad odds, sensei..." Nora said with a depressing tone.

"Hey, I'll talk more about it in another lesson. For now, let's turn our attention to this poorly drawn tube of spermicidal agents, or better known as spermicide!" Mikazuchi-sensei labelled his drawing.

I honestly thought it was toothpaste or something. Spermicide though, never heard of it before.

"Spermicide kills or disables the sperm. These can be added to other physical barriers, such as condoms, but some people have allergic reactions to this. Okay, next up, is this. Abstaining!"

Yukimura let out a loud groan of displeasure. I mean, he looks like one of those guys who'd jerk off regularly, so I guess I can see why he hates the word.

"I feel your pain Yukimura-san. Getting blue-balled feels worse than starving to death. However, in the context of this subject, you only have to abstain from intercourse, so you can fap to your dick's content in the meanwhile! You just don't have sex when an egg may be in the oviduct, which is why I drew this calendar. It's important to know when to abstain, because while abstaining can be used successfully, if the timings are not accurate, the chance of pregnancy is high. You don't want that."

"Sensei, if I get a girlfriend I'd want to fuck her everyday." Yukimura said. He was an extremely honest person. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

"My wife and I had sex for roughly three years straight without missing a night. Beat that record." Mikazuchi-sensei said with a smirk.

"Legend!" Yukimura gave a thumbs up.

"The final one is the most extreme contraception. Once this occurs, you can never go back. I'm talking about surgical methods of male and female sterilisation. An example of this is a vasectomy, where the sperm ducts are cut and tied. This cannot be reversed and is considered permanent." Mikazuchi-sensei pointed to the stop sign. "This is meant to signalise sterilisation, not that you shouldn't do it. People have sterilisation for many reasons. If necessary, you can do it."

"But ejaculating feels good. Who'd want to deny themselves of that pleasure?" Yukimura said.

"I've never had a student as bold as you, Yukimura-san." Mikazuchi-sensei laughed. "Honestly, I dunno either. I just know it's an option. I agree though, busting a nut is like a drug. Not implying a did drugs. I did rub a card on my balls once. Story for another day."

"You can't just end it on that!" Yukimura complained.

"Alright, this is the final stretch. Reproductive technologies to treat infertility, using hormones." Mikazuchi-sensei cleared the board and turned back to us. "This is pretty interesting since it's very helpful to modern society. Assisted Reproductive Technology, also known as ART, is the use of hormones and produces, as fertility treatments, to help achieve pregnancy. These include in vitro fertilisation, and a fertility drug, clomifene."

I've heard of in vitro fertilisation, but not clomifene. Mikazuchi-sensei sat on the table and began explaining with a more sober tone. This must be a serious topic, huh?

"Some women... have difficulty becoming pregnant, since they don't produce enough FSH to allow their eggs to mature. Some fertility drugs contain FSH and LH, which obviously stimulate the egg to mature in the ovary. Of course, fertility treatments increase a woman's chance of becoming pregnant, but the treatment may not always work. On the other hand, because the treatment boosts the production of mature eggs, it increases the chance of twins or triplets." Mikazuchi-sensei said.

"Multiple pregnancies carry a risk of... complications, and may lead to premature or underweight babies. So, this is where our ARTs come in. In vitro fertilisation treatment, also known as IVF, can be used if a couple are having difficulty conceiving a child. This could be because there are issues with the quality of the man's sperm, or a woman has blocked oviducts. Let's break it down into sections on the board."

Mikazuchi-sensei began writing on the board whilst explaining to us.

"IVF involves giving a mother FSH and LH to stimulate the maturation of several eggs in the ovary. These eggs are collected from the mother and fertilised by sperm from the father in a dish in the laboratory. The fertilised eggs develop into embryos. At the stage they are tiny balls of cells, one or two embryos are inserted into the mother's uterus, or in other words, the womb. Not difficult, right?"

"So you just take eggs from the mom, add some sperm with the dad, wait for it to turn into embryos, stick 'em back in, and the mother gives birth to a baby?" Yukimura said.

"Yes, basically." Mikazuchi-sensei nodded. "The development of microscopy techniques have allowed IVF treatments to be developed further, which is really good for the whole of society."

"Science is insane." Yukimura shook his head and made a mind blown expression with his hands.

"Now, let's look at clomifene. Some women have difficult becoming pregnant because they do not ovulate. Clomifene is a fertility drug used to stimulate ovulation, the release of eggs. It works by blocking the action of oestrogen's negative feedback on LH. Therefore, more LH is released in a surge. This mimics the LH surge that occurs just before ovulation. This means ovulation can occur. Then the sperm can go ahead and impregnate it. Happy days for everyone, right?"

"Wait, is that it, sensei?" Yukimura scratched his head.

"Yeah, that's the end of this topic." I said.

"Seriously? Yahoo! I learnt about the menstrual cycle and contraception!" Yukimura cheered.

"This was a good lesson." Nora said.

"Now, before you all go, please write me a nice long story about how Sakigamiya-san wants to use one of these contraceptive methods when she will have sex with Yukimura-san, and explore the different types I listed." Mikazuchi-sensei said, walking over to the door and locking it. "Good luck."

I suddenly hate this teacher! Let me out, I wanna go home!

After finishing that long-winded essay that was requested of Mikazuchi-sensei, we were allowed to go home. Nora had left earlier than both of us, so it was just me and Yukimura once again.

We walked down the hallway back to the main area of the school, which was known as "Eden".

"Sakigamiya-san, thanks for the help that weekend. It was really useful."

"Don't worry about it. I'm glad it was useful to you."

If Yukimura gets his grades up, we might get more class points.

"I'll definitely get more than 80% on our next mock exam! I wanna visit your apartment!"

He's so excited about it, it's like he's a little child. It's almost cute.

As we walked into Eden, a student barged in between both of us. Yukimura snapped and turned around.

"Oi, you bastard! Watch where you're going!" He shouted.

The student that barged into us turned around slowly.

His back was lurched slightly, and he had a lollipop in his mouth. He wore a black shirt instead of a white one, untucked with the top button undone. Slung around his shoulder was a messenger bag. He had no tie, but the blazer trimming was white. He must've been an A Class student, most likely from our year.

When his eyes met ours, I felt a shiver run down my spine. His wine coloured eyes was devoid of life. The corners of his lips curled into a creepy smile. The mood around us warped.

"I don't care which class you're in. As long as you're in my way, I'll crush you."

"Is that a challenge to a fight?!" Yukimura stormed up to him.

That student... I vaguely remember him... but I can't put a finger on it...

"Huh? Answer me you asshole!" Yukimura shouted at the student who was walking away.

But... who? Who was he...?! What was his name.....?!

"Say something, damn it!" Yukimura began to charge at him.

I can't remember at all... but I've seen that face before... a boy with shaven hair and a scar... was it, Shi... Shima...?

Yukimura launched his fist straight at him. The mysterious student dodged with a sidestep, and with his hands still in his pockets, launched a swift kick to the solar plexus. Yukimura froze up from the impact, and the boy took this chance to seize him with another devastating blow, but this time, to the ribcage.

Yukimura fell to the floor, clutching his body in pain. The boy lingered over him and looked at me with a challenging gaze.

"Yukimura-kun!" I ran over to help Yukimura up.

"Sakigamiya... san..." Yukimura groaned, having an excruciating face I'd never seen before. He choked up, falling into my arms.

No way... was he actually beaten...? Our violent fighter, Yukimura, lost...?

In this situation, I began shaking. Yukimura was one of the toughest people I know. But to be immobilised by two kicks from a scrawny looking student like him, it made me wonder...

...just how far away are we from A Class?

The student turned around and pulled out his phone to check the time.

"Shit. I'm going to be late now." Rubbing the back of his head, he walked away.

Yukimura, sitting up in my arms weakly, growled, "Where the fuck are you running off to...?!"

The student looked over his shoulder, and leapt from his spot with immense speed and power. He shot out his leg, and I leaned in to cover Yukimura's torso.

Bam!

An unbelievable amount of pain began ringing through my left arm and breast, as his right foot collided straight into my body. It felt like a thousand needles pierced through my flesh and tore apart my nerves into bloody shreds. I screamed and desperately held onto Yukimura's shirt as support.

"SAKIGAMIYA!" He shouted, clutching me. "Are you okay?! Why did you jump in?! That guy's insane! You shouldn't have put yourself in danger for me!!"

I huffed and puffed as tears welled up, blurring my vision. Was this the pain Yukimura was experiencing right now...? I tried to answer him, but I couldn't. No words would come out after the shock I took.

"Ah, I got my shoe dirty." The student walked away.

He wasn't kidding... when he said he'd crush anyone... in his way...

I slumped into Yukimura's arms, unable to support myself anymore. The pain continued to bounce throughout my torso, slowly spreading out like a virus.

Just... just who was he...? Who was that unbelievably powerful man... that not even Yukimura had a chance against in a fight...? He was wearing ordinary school shoes, wasn't he...? He wasn't muscular, was he...?

I couldn't think anymore, and let my pain consume my consciousness...
