My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Naomi started shaking her legs and tapping her feet against the car's floor. Her thick thighs jumped up and down as she shook them.

She was losing patience. She saw Ryan had come out of the mansion then what was taking them so long? Her father said something disturbing to her before disappearing which was bugging her.

'Just what is taking them so long?' She bit her lips, trying to suppress her irritation. 

After a few more seconds, she finally lost the patience to sit in the car doing nothing and get anxious about what is taking Ryan and Satoru so long.

"I will back in a few," she told the chauffeur as she got out of the car. 

"Y- yes, Mitsuda-san…." The chauffeur was surprised at how hurried Naomi was. She did not even wait for the chauffeur to open the door for her. 

...….

Ryan did not know what to say, or how to reply to Satoru's story. Satoru had gone so deep into his nostalgia that he was spacing out.

That silence between them was turning awkward slowly when Ryan decided to change the whole topic. 

"Uh… how will you deal with the problem then? What- what do I have to do? I do not think I did a mistake by fighting that jerk but… Satomi-san is not going to accept that.

"TO be honest. I do not want Naomi's marriage to break. I do not want her to get married but I do not want the marriage to break only because of me." 

Ryan took a deep breath after saying that breathlessly, he was about to continue again but Satoru came back from his nostalgia.

"I-"

"You are right. I do not want her marriage to break either…" Satoru started thinking.

Ryan did not say anything, he stood there watching Satoru as he thought about a solution.

"Maybe… I can let you off the hook,"

"No, but that would not solve the problem. Of course, I am happy I would not be involved in your matters anymore but…. I still want to solve the problem before I go."

Ryan decided. He is cold and all but… it is about Naomi. She is one of his teammates who fought side by side with him.

"Hah, I knew it," Satoru rolled his neck, "You never disappoint me…" he started laughing, he rolled his head and laughed his head out.

He was laughing when his laugh suddenly came to a pause as if he became suddenly alert, "There is nothing we can do about the situation, there is nothing I can do about the situation. Only the Watts can change their mind, and Satomi can make them change their mind."

"But if neither of it worked then? Would not I be in trouble?"

"You are already in trouble. But if the marriage really breaks, Satomi might get even more aggressive, never talk to me and Naomi in life. God knows what step that woman will take." 

"...." Ryan did not expect the 'I will not talk' part from Satomi. She looked like, her attitude was like she would kill anybody who comes in between her plans. 

"You. Ryan-Kun, you have ruined our relationship with Watts. I do not think it was primarily your fault but in the end, Allen was only molesting her own fiancee, and when you are engaged, it is not defined as molestation. It is more of an act of physical intimacy with your wife-to-be."

Ryan was totally surprised at Satoru's answer, his eye went wide, then dropped in disappointment. For a moment he thought what was wrong with that sort of thinking?!

"Because everybody has blamed you, no one else besides me and Naomi will believe you are innocent and what you did was the right thing to do."

"Thank you… at least you believe in me."

"Duh. But I will pretend that I do not believe you. Just to stay on Satomi's good side," That disappointed Ryan again, he was just putting on a… whatever. 

Satoru was right in a way, he could not just go to his wife, ask for a divorce, take Naomi out of the house, live with her, tell Satomi that he believe what she did was wrong but what Ryan did was the right thing.

That is not a choice, right? It would not be a choice in the future either. It never will be a choice. 

"You have ruined Naomi's relationship with Satomi, you might have even ruined my relations with Satomi." Satoru turned serious all of a sudden.

In the distance, Naomi was looking around the place to see if she can spot those two. She was slowly getting closer to Ryan and Satoru.

"What–!"

"And… it might, the result might be something even worse…. How will you pay for this? Do you have any idea?"

"....That is what I am asking you. If you have any idea…"

Satoru did not hesitate before presenting his idea, "Of course I do!" He replied with a small frown.

"I would be glad to hear it," Ryan let out a sigh, then took a deep breath.

Ryan was making himself ready for the consequence and the way he would have to pay them back. He did not know what they were but he knew one thing, it was something hard… and bad.

"I am not saying that you know, what others would have said," Satoru made an angry face.

"Ah… there are those two, they look like idiots from the distance," Naomi spotted her father and friend. 

She shook her head as she started walking in their direction.

"YOU CAN NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT OVER HER! I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR MARRIAGE WITH NAOMI-CHAN AT ANY COST!"

Satoru calmed down after shouting, "Or something like that… I am just saying that you need to come up with a way of your own to win Naomi from Satomi."

"Oh– For a second, I thought you were serious. Ever tried your hand at acting?"

"It is my passion but never got any time," Ryan did not know if it was a joke or not. 

"So, you were saying something,"

"Right. My idea." Satoru turned serious, "The Selection Project."

"Eh?"

"You will have to participate and win the Selection Project. My daughter's future is in your hands. I want you to win the selection project.

"And if you did, as her father, I will approve your marriage with Naomi-chan. As her father, I will give you permission to have my daughter.

"Selection Project. Participate and win in the selection project. I will let you off the hook." A grin appeared on his face, "My chauffeur will drop you and Naomi to the dorm, then to the hotels. Till then. See ya."
