The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 73: Illusionists are scary

(Once again bonus chapter. And we jumped on the number 19th. The top 10 is so near, I can almost taste it. Jokes aside, it will be difficult to surpass this position as above me are only top dogs of web novel but I didn't even dream of being in the top 20 so it's still good. I just want to see how far I can go with your help.)

(Ryoto's pov)

Ryoto: "What do you think you're doing?"

My voice was calm but cold. I even opened my eyes to look directly at Itona. The invisible pressure spread across the whole classroom as I was doing this. The target of this was Itona, but as I didn't have complete control over this, the pressure was felt by everyone. Initially, it was just an uncomfortable feeling, but soon, everyone started losing consciousness, starting from the weakest. However, they were still luckier than Itona, who was on the verge of fainting, but I unconsciously didn't allow him.

Ryoto: "I may be partially guilty of putting my classmates in danger, but I feel pretty hypocritical today, so I'll ignore for now and focus on punishing you."

Karen: "You sound like Lucifer, and I can't believe that I'm saying this, but it's a great thing."

I ignored Karen as I focused entirely on Itona.

Ryoto: "Normally, I would let you meet Mil-tan and be done with it, but I feel like it wouldn't be enough for you, so let's go with something like this..."

My eyes shone more brightly as two big circles appeared in front of my and Itona's eyes.

(Itona's pov)

I am strong... I am strong... I am strong. No matter who I am against, I won't lose. I was fighting someone strong, but he vanished, the same as everyone else, even Shiro.

It means that I didn't lose yet. He didn't win. I am stronger.

I was still ready to defend myself and attack. I need to be careful because he is strong, but I'll still win.

I let out my tentacles.

When did I retreat them? Not important.

I looked around, but I noticed that the tentacles didn't listen to me. They didn't move according to my thoughts as they usually would.

What is happening?

Everything around me turned black. I was no longer in the classroom.

While it was alarming, I still focused on the tentacles. Without them, I'll be weak again. I don't want that. I don't want to be weak. I'll be strong, and I'll prove it by killing Koro-sensei, my brother, but first, I'll kill this guy.

Move... move... move!!! Why won't you move!!!

As I tried to move my tentacles, they slowly turned black. It didn't end at that. As they completely turned black, they started crumbling, starting from their tips.

No, no, no, no, no!!! Don't go away!!! I need you!!!

My cries were left unanswered as the tentacles disappeared entirely.

I dropped to my knees.

Again, I'm left with nothing. Just like before, I lost everything.

(Ryoto's pov)

I was showing Itona his worst nightmare at the moment. What Itona was scared of the most was losing his power, so I showed him exactly that. As I focused on the illusion, I felt a tentacle on my shoulder.

Koro-sensei: "I think it is enough, Yuuki-kun, don't you think?"

I didn't answer at first, so Koro-sensei continued.

Koro-sensei: "I know how you feel, and I understand how you must feel, but it isn't the answer a d you know it. He is controlled by tentacles and needs help and a second chance. You should know how even deserves it."

*Sigh*

Ryoto: "I'm doing this only because you asked me to."

I respect Koro-sensei, so I listened to him. I disagree that everyone deserves second chances. Some people are beyond salvation, but I feel like he was talking about himself.

Koro-sensei wasn't visibly worried because I explained Haki to Koro-sensei before, and Haoshoku Haki was not an exception. Even though I didn't possess it then, I thought it could awaken at any moment so that he wouldn't panic when it would happen. I warned him in advance.

I'm glad that I did that.

Ryoto: "So what are you going to do with him?"

Shiro: "I'll be taking him."

Shiro interrupted.

I turned to him and moved my mouth to spell the name 'Kotaro Yanagisawa' and smiled at him.

Shiro: "*Cough* as I said, Itona is in great hands/tentacles with Koro-sensei. Excuse me for leaving now, but I have an important matter to attend to."

Shiro left, cursing under his breath.

Everyone except Karasuma, Irina, Koro-sensei, and Sophia was unconscious.

Ryoto: "Let's go to the teacher's office. I'll explain some things."

They nodded without saying anything and followed me.

I sat on one side and the teachers on the other inside the room. I asked Sophia to look after everyone in the classroom. I took out my phone from the pocket, and Ritsu showed up as well. I promised her to explain something as well, and it's a good opportunity to do it.

Ryoto: "Before I start, I want to say that I know that you tried to look into my identity, but the information you got from your agents was false."

Tadaomi: "What!!?"

Ryoto: "I bribed them with good food."

Karasuma face palmed himself. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, but it will not be the strangest thing he'd hear today.

I decided to reveal some things about myself. At first, it was fun to be spied on, but it got boring after some time. I don't lose anything by telling them that I'm not from here, and it doesn't feel right when I know a lot about Koro-sensei while he doesn't know anything about me. Karasuma is just a bonus.

Ryoto: "Let's start with something simple. What do you know about multiverse theory?"

They looked at me as if I was crazy.

Ryoto: "Don't look at me like that. It's relevant to what I want to say."

Rita: "A multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together these universes compromise everything that exists."

Ryoto: "Thank you, Ritsu."

Koro-sensei started connecting the dots.

Koro-sensei: "Does it mean..."

Ryoto: "Yes, I am from another universe."
