Naruto's eyebrow was twitching periodically as he stood outside the classroom. He was currently holding buckets up with both arms as some sort of punishment for skipping too many classes. Considering this was forcing him to miss even more material in the class, he thought that this was a stupid punishment.
Nothing will ever beat Iruka-sensei's big head jutsu in his eyes. Everything else was child's play.
The blond heard the classroom door slide open as the balding teacher stuck his head out and glared at him. Oi oi, he only missed like...what? Three classes? What was the big deal? He skipped far more Ninja Academy classes and he eventually did alright.
Naruto consciously didn't mention the fact that he was held back three times.
"Uzumaki...you may come back inside. I hope you have learned your lesson when it comes to skipping class. Keep this up and you will become a bum on the street." the teacher said harshly before making way to let him pass.
Naruto rolled his eyes in response at the threat. He never did have a good relationship with teachers, the bias that many had against him back at the Ninja Academy made him distrustful of many of them as a whole and was the origin of his disrespectful nature against people with authority.
The blond just cheerfully acknowledged the teacher and walked back into the classroom completely unrepentant, much to the teacher's frustration. All of his classmates looked pretty amused by the exchange as it seemed that Naruto's reputation was set by his actions.
Many in Kuoh seemed to have the impression that he was a bit of a delinquent, but that he was a very friendly one that just thumbs his nose at authority. In short, many students, girls especially seemed to have an impression that he was a 'bad boy' with his attitude and whisker marks on his cheeks.
Apparently he had a "boyish charm" or something like that, it was honestly the first time he was hearing this ever. He never heard such things about himself back in the Elemental Nations. Many of the boys who would have been jealous of the blond, were instead ensnared in Naruto's ever positive personality. Now he was apparently just another 'bro'...whatever that meant.
So he was decently popular, no where near the prestige that the 'Great Ladies' or the 'Prince' enjoyed...but he didn't want such things from Kuoh. Nice words were more than enough for him.
The blond sat down on his chair right next to the window and prepared to ignore history class again, he even prepared to use his own bag as a pillow.
He was all set before he felt an annoying poke in between the sensitive juncture between his ribs and thighs. He ignored it and tried to sleep before feeling the poke again, his eye twitched as he became determined to ignore the poking.
After what must have been the fifth poke in a row, Naruto finally gave in and peered at the girl next to him who was holding the offending pen.
"...What?" Naruto asked irritably, he was going to fall asleep either by getting bored or by resting on his bag. The bag was more comfortable so he wanted to sleep, no one liked having their sleep interrupted...even though he didn't really need it.
"Pay attention...this will be on the test tomorrow." Yuki said as she gave the blond a steady stare. She was still the class representative and wanted to make sure that Naruto had a good education...even if he wasn't a normal person by any stretch of the imagination.
Naruto deadpanned at her and attempted to go back to sleep, but Yuki was not the one who interrupted his sleep again. This time it was the teacher who slammed his ruler onto his desk to wake him up. Naruto had an irritated expression as he stared up unflinchingly at the now red-faced instructor.
"Is my class that boring for you Uzumaki?" the teacher practically hissed at the blond.
Naruto wanted to say 'yes' but that would imply that he was sleeping because he found the teacher boring, the problem was that even if he wasn't boring...the shinobi would still go to sleep.
He simply had no reason to memorize any of this for the future, after all, he was going back to the Elemental Nations and restore peace like the greatest hero that ever-
His daydream ended when the teacher slapped his ruler upside Naruto's head which caused the boy to just pout at his teacher for making him lose his train of thought.
"Ah come on sensei! It's not like I'm ever gonna use this crap!" Naruto complained, and for the most part he was probably right. But to anyone else it sounded like the same weak excuse that a lazy teenager would make when having to memorize stuff they don't like.
The teacher just sighed in return and then glanced at Naruto's neighbor.
Yuki noticed the teacher's gaze and raised an eyebrow, what was that about?
Later after class, Yuki found out and was given a new mission.
"Naruto."
"No!"
"Naruto this is for your own good. Let me help you!"
"I don't want help in this of all things!"
Several students were looking on in curiosity as Uzumaki Naruto continually denied the request of the the young girl behind him. It was lunch time and he promised to eat lunch with Mio since this was her first day here.
It has been a few days since the meeting with Rias and her Peerage had been concluded, with neither Mio or Maria being alerted to the fact. Both were still wary of the devils that go to Kuoh Academy and were trying to avoid them when necessary.
However it seems neither of them knew a thing about Yuki and her involvement with the Hero Tribe. So this was a good chance to at least introduce the hero and Mio, hopefully they could create a lasting friendship with each other!
But first things first, he had to guide the persistent hero to Mio.
But seriously? What was this about her becoming his tutor? That has to be the silliest thing he has heard in a long time, but it seemed that Yuki didn't agree.
"Naruto..." Yuki tried to say but was cut off just as quickly.
"No means no Yuki! I don't even know why you care so much about my grades! It's not like it's going to matter any!" Naruto stated crossly, repeating himself several times was beginning to get on his nerves.
"Sensei asked me to tutor you to get you reacquainted with the subjects that will be on the test tomorrow Naruto, as the class representative it is my duty to help a fellow student and friend." Yuki responded simply.
