Dysfunctional - An Assassin's Guide to Reincarnating in Another World

Chapter 466 465 - First Glimpse of the New Reincarnators(Part 1)

　　"Hehe, too slow, you\'re gonna have to do better than that, kid!" I smirked, as I evaded effortlessly. 

　　Today\'s the 10th of June, 1692, and I was currently at the Abyss Academy, where I\'ve been hired as a combat instructor. 

　　A few years ago, Rai implemented a pretty complex school system in Abyss. Kids start off by being taught basic education from the ages of six to twelve, and after that, they can choose a course to follow at the Abyss Academy. 

　　The combat course, of which I\'m one of those in charge of, follows the format set by the Adventurer Academys, and lasts for three years. Then there\'s a bunch of other options, like a standard higher education course, a merchant course, various management courses, and there were even artsy courses like singing, acting and whatnot. 

　　To sum it up, Abyss\'s education system is designed to nurture a wide range of talents and skillsets, instead of just focusing on fighting, especially since we\'re in pretty peaceful times now.

　　As for why I became an instructor, well...I wanted to play the role of super hot, sexy teacher that all male, and maybe some female, students lust after, of course. Naturally, that meant wearing pretty revealing clothes, within the limits of what was acceptable, of course. 

　　And I have to say, it turns me on whenever I feel the gazes of my male students boring into me. Heh, and whenever they have a question to ask, I always get real close and lean forward to give them an eyeful, watching them get all flustered and struggling not to stare is super entertaining and kinda hot. 

　　Though the downside to this has been that fact that most of my female students seem to dislike me. Which is a bummer, but I gotta admit, feeling their scornful gazes burning into me aren\'t half bad either. 

　　Of course, since my students are all underage, I wouldn\'t actually make a move on any of them, I\'m not a total creep. But with my actions, I am helping the economy. 

　　No, really, I am. See, the porn videos that are now being sold all over the world, are highly inspired by the typical porn plot lines you\'d see in the worlds that Reincarnators come from. 

　　Stuff like a lonely housewife not having enough money to pay for food delivery so paying the delivery guy with her body, step-mom and step-sibling stuff, boss and secretary stuff, massages turned sexual, cuckoldry stuff, gangbangs, and most significantly in this context, teacher-student stuff. 

　　By stirring up the carnal desires of my students with my body, I help the porn industry by widening the demographic for the teacher-student genre. Yes, I know, I\'m pretty amazing. 

　　Anyway, I was currently holding a sparring session with the newest batch of students in this course, in order to see at what level of competency and skill they\'re at. 

　　I\'ve sparred with each of them except for one, and so far, they\'ve all been at about average or less, no standouts as of yet. Their power levels have all been below 4,000 so far too. 

　　But, well, quality has been dropping as of late...in these peaceful times, there\'s no driving force to motivate most kids to get strong, the World Combat Championship is the only major exhibition of fighting now. 

　　Monsters are no longer a threat, and there\'s been no conflict between any of the nations in the last fifteen years. 

　　Rai did ask me to keep an eye on the incoming students for the next few years and see if I can identify any Reincarnators, but no luck so far. I mean, how am I supposed to tell the difference, especially if they\'re making an effort to hide it? 

　　I\'m not saying that it isn\'t a valid concern or anything, just that there\'s no real method to differentiate regular kids from those who\'ve retained the memories of their past lives. Anyway, getting back to this training session... 

　　"Okay, that just leaves one more person, uh...Yulisia Aoruse, step forward," I instructed, as I put on my Power Reader glasses. 

　　A girl with raven black hair tied up in a high ponytail, dark green eyes and big boobs stepped forward, wearing a long-sleeved, full body black spandex tight suit under a loose purple tank top and dark purple skirt that went halfway down her thighs. 

　　"Yes, that\'s me," She remarked, as she met my gaze. 

　　"Alright...what\'s your Anima?" I asked her. 

　　"Black caiman," She answered in response. 

　　That\'s something like an alligator or crocodile, right? Her eyes do look like a reptile\'s, and she\'s got sharp teeth, but I don\'t see any other visible mutations. Now for her power level-...huh?

　　Wait, this can\'t be right...it\'s over 9,000! Specifically, it was 12,650. That\'s almost double my own base power level... 

　　"Um, is everything okay, instructor?" She inquired, as I stared at her in bewilderment. 

　　"Oh, uh, yes, everything\'s fine. Now, then, let\'s get to sparring. You can start attacking as soon as the safety barrier is active, got it?" I informed her. 

　　"Yeah, got it."

　　As the barrier activated, she started by forming a large, swirling fireball and shooting it at me, which rapidly blazed towards me. Wow, impressive output, and great control too. Huh, the amount it\'s swirling...it\'s almost like a wind-enhanced fireball... 

　　I then took aim and fired out a sharp wind blast as the fireball closed in on me, my blast bursting through the middle of the flames and stalling its momentum, the flames dissipating before they could hit me. 

　　Suddenly, she sprang up from behind the dissipating flames...nice, she used that fireball to block herself from my sight, and then shot forward the moment she fired it at me. 

　　As she closed in on me, she got low, placed a hand on the floor and swung her leg up at me, as I quickly leaned back to evade her rising foot, narrowly evading it. 

　　She then swiftly sprang back up and drove her left fist at my midsection, which I blocked with my palm, before driving her right fist at my throat, which I narrowly deflected by striking her wrist with my other palm. 

　　Without missing a beat, she spun around in a rapid blur and swung her left foot up at the side of my head, and as I quickly ducked under it to dodge it, she halted her rising spin kick and swung her heel straight down at me.

　　I jumped back to avoid it, as her foot slammed down onto the ground with a loud thud. What\'s going on...her moves are definitely that of a skilled martial artist, and definitely beyond a level that could normally be atained by someone in their early teens, especially in this world. 

　　Which only leaves one explanation...she\'s got to be a Reincarnator. That might also explain her unusually high power level...interesting, let\'s see exactly how strong she is... 

　　She then shot towards me and leapt at me with a flying kick, which I easily evaded by shuffling off to the right, but as she began to fly past me, she suddenly raised her left arm, aiming to wrap it around my neck and swing me down. 

　　I narrowly ducked beneath it, before leaping up as she unleashed a spinning sweep kick the instant she landed, her foot brushing the soles of my boots. 

　　I\'m only playing defense, and won\'t attack, that\'s how I\'ve been holding this entire session, and it\'s proven to be a necessary handicap with all the previous bouts...but with this kid, it\'s proving to be really challenging, she\'s really keeping me on my toes. 

　　I\'m just about able to react to and evade or block her attacks, but if I let my guard down for even a moment, she\'ll almost definitely land a hit. 

　　Suddenly, to my surprise, she backed away and got some distance, a thoughtful look on her face, as if she was trying to decide something. I\'m starting to get kinda nervous...don\'t tell me she\'s actually been holding back all this time? 

　　I mean, so have I, since I\'m not attacking, plus my third eye is closed, but still...opening it doesn\'t give me that much of a power boost. That said, if she\'s about to step things up somehow, then better safe than sorry. 

　　As I opened my third eye, I stiffened as a small shockwave burst out from her, before her body began changing. Her skin was growing scaly and dark, as her fingernails extended into claws, her jaws growing forward with a wide row of sharp teeth, as a thick, scaly tail extended out from her lower back. 

　　"No way. A True Anima...?" I muttered to myself in disbelief, as she finished transforming and shot towards me at a rapid speed...
