My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Satomi turned around, before disappearing into the corridors, she turned her head to look at Ryan over her shoulders.

"Ah, next time you visit, be sure you take your lunch in Naomi's engagement."  With that, she walked away into the corridor.

"Ryan, Naomi-chan. Come on. Let us go out," Satoru grabbed Naomi's hand and started pulling her out of the house through the main entrance.

"Ryan…" Naomi turned her eyes behind her, "...Come on," She turned her eyes back.

Ryan stood there with a… cold expression, with a ''what just happened' expression.

He sighed at the end and followed Naomi and Satoru out of the hall, into the mansion. 

A car was waiting for them at the entrance. Ryan saw Satoru point at the car and ask Naomi to enter the car.

Without any resistance, Naomi quietly followed Satoru's instructions. She got inside the car, the chauffeur closed the door and went back to his driver's seat. 

Satoru then turned around, his eyes met with Ryan's eye. Ryan looked down as he walked down the stairs. He raised his head again, Satoru was waiting for him near the car.

"It is true huh…. That you messed with the–"

"We did not. As Naomi said, he tried molesting her, and I could not take it. We got into a fight, his butler stopped us and that is it. The end," Ryan replied with a cold expression.

He expected Satoru to get angry as Satomi did but to his surprise when Ryan told him what actually happened a smile started appearing on his face.

"Hah!" Satoru let out a small laugh, "I knew it. I knew it!" Satoru walked past the car and gestured for Ryan to come along with him.

Ryan was still confused but followed Satoru just probably because he wanted to take him away from Naomi.

"I wonder why he asked me to go inside…" Naomi thought. She was sitting in the car with the chauffeur sitting in front. 

It was the same black, sports car Naomi was sitting inside. She remembered the words Satoru told her before asking her to go inside:

"Congrats! You two have ruined everything." Satoru's sarcastic side was a little too much for Naomi to digest. 

She felt a little sad when her father talked to her in a sarcastic tone, "Uh. I will try making things right. You go inside and wait for me and Ryan-Kun." 

Satoru lifted his right hand and pointed it towards the car. The chauffeur opened the door, Naomi went inside.

"Why are you laughing?" Ryan asked Satoru. Satoru could not help but giggle along the way.

"Cause I knew it!" He repeated.

"Knew what?"

"I knew that Satomi was lying. There is no way you would hurt or fight someone innocent or just for your fun. I had a hunch about it. Neither will you let Naomi hurt someone, she is not one of those bullies anyway." Satoru explained.

"You just have too much faith in me…"

"No." Satoru calmed down and shook his head, "I just have faith in my daughter. She would not date a person who is totally opposite of her dad." Satoru let a smirk appear on his face.

"Sir… we really are not dating. You and Satomi-san have created a big misconception or… I might say a misunderstanding."

"Heh, I can not believe you though."

"Ah. If I shall clear any misunderstandings, this should be the first one to be cleared up." Ryan shook his head with grief.

"About the marriage thing…" Again, Satoru changed his tone from funny, friendly, teasing to serious, and scary.

"Right…" Ryan looked down, "I never knew Naomi was engaged to someone…."

"You can not lie to me, Ryan-Kun. Let your true emotions come out. Do not worry I would not try to blast you away as Satomi did."

Ryan looked at Satoru. He continued looking at him for a few seconds before continuing.

"Why?" Ryan asked with a straight face, "How, why? Why is this happening…. Why did not you do anything instead of just standing there? Why?" 

Ryan continued. Slowly, word by word, Ryan's voice started raising, "You knew, too, what Satomi-san's attack would do to Naomi but then why? Why did not you make an attempt to protect your daughter?

"Why were you just standing when your wife disrespects you, insulted you so much in front of me, Naomi, and other servants? Why did you just stand there and listen to whatever she said?"

"Because… I am a stoic?" 

"No. I need a serious answer. Why? Why is Naomi being married at this early age? Why are not you doing anything when you too are against her marriage?! Why are you like a slave to your wife?!"

"Man. A man, you see…" Satoru's loud voice silenced Ryan, "To a woman," He turned his head down to Ryan, "What is a man to a woman. Before marriage, when they are dating, to a woman, a boyfriend is someone who pays for her expenses."

Ryan did not argue. He knew more about these things than any other normal teenager did. What a man is to a woman, how they use men to take out money. 

"After marriage. To a woman, her husband…. Is nothing but a… SLAVE." Satoru completed with a smile, "That is what is happening with me."

"...." Ryan could not believe it, "You know that you are in a toxic relationship… but why still? Okay. I am not giving you any relationship advice, I am not getting cocky either. I just want to… know. You are older than me, you must have a great deal of experience with relationships and–"

"Love." Satoru threw his head up, "Love is something…. Very and really dangerous. It can heal, it can break."

"I know…" Ryan muttered.

"Mitsuda Satomi. Although she still accepts my surname as hers and does not use her maiden name for work and professional stuff… I feel and know somewhere deep inside that she…. Does not love me anymore. She is just using me to get her things done free of cost. I am a fool who is like a servant working for Satomi free of cost, without any salary.

"Although she is a sadist, she is prideful, she is an egoist, she loves power over love, she uses people, she does not love me anymore, she wants to build an alliance with Watts and for that, she is sacrificing our daughter, she is a money-loving, power-loving egoistic, merciless, empathy less woman…. I still love her. And that is my answer to your every question." 

Ryan was stunned by the answer. He rubbed his forehead with his palm and muttered, "You really are a fool in love."
