Weird Class!

Ch. 31 - The Strange Power of Emili

*Emili's Point of View

In my dictionary, there is no word called 'iri'. No matter how great a person is, I never feel jealous. Whether you are a pretty girl or a rich man, I never get jealous. I don't know why, I seem to be so grateful for the life I have right now.

The word envy was finally in my dictionary after I entered Class 1-F.

Yes, I envy those with strange powers. I know, even though my friends and I are familiar, it feels like I'm the most different myself. All Class 1-F kids have strange powers, whereas I don't. I'm envious, very envious. I want to have strange powers.

On my way home from the supermarket at night, I kept thinking about it. I've asked Sera how she can have such strange powers. But, Sera said she didn't know. Nor does Nana know, she says her strange power just came without any apparent reason. So does Lev, my new friend doesn't know either.

My date of birth is the same as theirs!

Arrghh.

Because I kept thinking about it, I didn't focus on walking. I bumped into a shoe polishman who was sitting by the side of the road.

Dakk!

His tools fell scattered. I helped him re-tidy up his polish equipment. After that, I apologized.

“Sorry sir, I accidentally,” said I bowed apologetically, then helped him tidy up his scattered items.

The father just smiled.

“Son, from tomorrow you will have strange powers,” said the father with a reassuring face.

I'm speechless. There seems to be something strange. How did he know that I wanted some strange power? And why all of a sudden?

“You should not be confused that way. Trust the same Father. From tomorrow you will have strange powers.” The father responded to my confused reaction.

My expression is happy.

“Seriously, Sir? Yattas! What is my strange power, sir?” my, enthusiastic.

“You should find out for yourself,” he replied, briefly.

I'm a little disappointed. But I just follow the words of the Father.

After the conversation, I went home immediately.

“Nak,” call the Father. I'm turning. “Send my regards to Akemi,” said the father with a smiling face. After saying that, the old man vanished from my sight. The father disappeared.

I'm not surprised to see it. Being in Class 1-F for two months was enough to get me used to the weird stuff.

There is one thing I regret when I saw the father disappeared. My shopping also disappeared.

My stock of boiled noodles for a month vanished with that guy. The cold drinks and chips of my kent disappeared as well.

Nothing, I'll take that as a means of payment.

“Akemi, you get greetings from the father of shoe polish. You know him?” I asked Akemi.

“Whose name?”

“Hmm. I forgot to ask,” I replied, scratching my head.

“I haven't chatted with a shoemaker in a long time. Last time I was still SD.” Akemi tells a little about her past.

After greeting the polishman, I immediately left Akemi. I didn't say anything to Akemi about my strange powers, I still kept it a secret.

In order to test my strange powers, I will make an experiment with Lev. I'll shake hands with him. I asked Maggiana and Lullin to pay attention to me.

“Lev, let's shake hands!” I asked Lev.

“No. I'm tired of being forgotten by you.” Lev refused.

Without a second thought, I held Lev's hand forcibly.

.....

.....

.....

“Lev! you're Lev, right?” my, enthusiastic.

“Yes, I'm Lev. You haven't forgotten me?” Lev looked at me in astonishment.

Hearing that from Lev, I immediately jumped in excitement.

Yattas! Yattas! Yattas! (Hore! Hurrah! Hurrah!)

I jump in excitement. The kids looked at me with weird faces.

Now I'm sure I have some strange powers. I just need to find her.

Maggiana and Lullin immediately asked me, but I still kept my mouth shut and pretended to be stupid. I'll keep my strange powers a secret until I find out for myself.

“Emili!” Someone patted me on the shoulder, it turned out to be Shino. “You are searched for Yuka from Class 1-C, you are requested there.”

“Oh, yes,” I replied.

(Haah. After this there are sports lessons~)

Suddenly, there was something strange in my head. I whispered to Shino.

“Shino. You're males taking sports lessons, huh?” my question, whispering.

Shino.

“Da-where do you know?”

“Do not know, suddenly there is information in my head.”

Shino put on an expression of astonishment.

(Damn it, Hiroshi's Class E kid is really good at playing drum~)

(Si Emili like me, deh~)

(Ngantuuuk~)

(Ouch, njiir~ mules)

Suddenly, my head was flooded with information. The thoughts of the children popped into my head.

Gosh, this is Shino's strange power, why do I have this strange power? thought

“Emili!” Someone patted me on the shoulder, it turns out he's Roman. “You're wanted Yuka. He was waiting at the door.” Roman pointed at the door.

“Oh, yes,” I said.

After being patted Roman, Shino's strange power disappears. The secret information was no longer flooding my head.

Ah, I think I already know my strange powers. It's raining tonight, if my guess is correct. Later that night I'll turn into a man.

***

The sound of an alarm woke me from sleep. With reflexes my hand shut it off. I think something was strange this morning. There's something unusual in my crotch. Then I woke up. I ran straight to the mirror.

Oh my god! Very handsome of me, I said in front of the mirror.

It rained last night when I fell asleep, I finally turned into a man. It turns out my guess was right.

My strange power is: If I come into physical contact with a strange power person, that person's power will be copied by me.

Yosh! A champ!

***

When I entered Class 1-F, all the children looked at me with unfamiliar gazes. They don't realize I'm Emili. Yes, it's only natural, now I'm a man.

“Sorry. Who are you, huh? That's Emili.”'s seat Maggiana warned.

I smile.

“I'm a new student, his nephew Emili. Today Emili is sick, she will not enter,” I said in a male voice.

“Oh... So welcome to Class 1-F.” Maggiana smiled at me.

Hihihi, gapapa is lying. Sometimes I want to punish others. I will continue to be a man, until the next rain falls.

Anyway, I can't have any physical contact with anyone in this class. If it comes into physical contact, my strange power will change again.

I've decided, with a face like this, I will conquer Akemi's heart. Uh, I can also chat with Lev at any time. Fun, looks like this is gonna be fun.

Shino from earlier looked at me cynically. He seems to know that I am Emili. Ah, Shino's strange power is really troublesome. But, I'm sure, Shino won't divulge this secret of mine.

Now, I'm going to get close to Akemi.

When I got to Akemi's bench, I was confused about what to say. Although every day I was smooth talking with Akemi, when pretending to be someone else it was difficult. There is a fear of being discovered.

Akemi looked at my face with a suspicious look. Akemi's unpleasant look further made my guts shrivel. Anyway, I have to be brave.

Suddenly, someone patted me on the shoulder.

“Hoi, new boy,” heard female voice. I looked up, it was Lemon.

Viiuha... Thankfully, my strange strength has not changed.

“Sorry, I have to interrogate you first with Hoshi. We are afraid that you are a spy,” said Lemon. Behind him was a smiling evil Hoshi.

This is a danger, if I come into contact with Hoshi, my strange power will change again. But, I just stepped down and walked after Lemon.

Suddenly Akemi held my hand.

“Wait!” Me, Lemon and Hoshi immediately turned to Akemi “This man is not suspicious, I am very sure,” said Akemi.

However, because of Akemi's touch, my strange power changed again.

In front of all the children, I turned into a girl again. I turned into Emili again. I turned into Emili who was wearing a male uniform. Everyone was dumbfounded, except Shino.

Because it was discovered, I immediately told about my strange power to all children.

“Friends, now I have a strange power. My strange power is copying the strange power of the person I come into contact with!” I said, smiling with pride.

*Cric crick.

Damnit. The response of ordinary children. Present, because I did mischief, anyway.

Now, I have the strange power of Akemi.

Wait, it feels so weird. Isn't Akemi's strange power 'limitless intelligence'? But, my intelligence did not increase at all. I felt another strange power.

I looked directly into Akemi's eyes. Akemi's expression looked like the person whose secret had just been revealed.

“Akemi...your strange power is, there are five?” my question, whisper to Akemi.
