Their cheeks were beet red. Some of the boys were fat, some were skinny, some were decent yet Ryu doubt they can defeat Narukami.

"Yeah, you're right."

Shortly thereafter, Ryu got into the pool and slowly approached Narukami. It wasn't his turn yet to do the swimming practice. Henceforth, while waiting for his turn.

It might be better to mess with Narukami.

The latter's facial expression was flat as his body floating and slowly swayed despite no motion from him.

As he approached Narukami, Ryu spoke under his breath, 'Emperor of calamity, I call thee to bend my will.'

Without Narukami knowing, a red glow occurred. It took him a short breath to realize it and he changed his position.

He turned his head to the flickering of a red light and as he did, something that looked like the head of a dragon lunged at him from underwater with its mouth.

Instinctively, he blocked the attack with a powerful electric shock. As he was in the water, it spread quickly to the entire pool.

In an instant, those in the pool felt a static shock. 

It was enough for them to quickly leave the water in a hurry as they were afraid of the unknown.

Swimming peacefully then felt something electrocute you, one would leave in hurry as human body was weak against electricity if skin being covered by liquid such as water.

The reason why they felt a static shock instead of electrocution was because Narukami quickly decreased the output of his lightning, only the electric particles around him were stronger.

A body floated on the water near him. Charred black as charcoal and black smoke was emitted, his right hand was that of a head of a dragon.

His hand looked like a dragon sock puppet.

"What are you doing?" Narukami frowned and realized what was going on. He dragged him out of the water and the dragon's hand disappeared.

As a result of a certain incident a few months ago, Ryu gained the power of a dragon. 

He can shape shift a certain part of his body. For instance, his right hand was taking the shape of a dragon.

The transfer student noticed this, smiled.

'As I expected,' she mumbled.

Narukami called out to his teacher and the teacher approached him. When asked what happened to him, Narukami replied that Ryu's legs were cramp.

When asked again about Ryu's charred black body.

"Sensei, what are you talking about? His body is fine."

The teacher was confused at first. He shifted his gaze to Ryu, the charred black was gone!

"Eh? What's going on?..."

Quickly afterward.

"Someone help! Kuroda is drowning!" A girl shrieked for help.

Kuroda's figure slowly descended to the pool floor as she was motionless out of breath.

Right above her figure, on the surface of the water to be precise, bubbles and ripples were formed as a result of her breath and struggle.

Fortunately, the pool was clear and there were fewer people in there. Making things easy in many ways.

Narukami quickly dove in without a second thought.

This is suffocating… I can't breathe… someone, with the last energy she had, she thought that to herself. 

Her right arm was raised to the sky, trying to grasp something.

The fraction of light underwater was beautiful yet terrifying. What she was trying to grasp was the light, hoping it would not go away.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the fraction of light, which looked like small, long white snakes slithering in the water at terrifying speed. 

It was impossible to grasp something that can't be caught in the first place.

She felt her lungs were filled with water as she ran out of breath. 

Her eyes slowly succumbed to the darkness as her figure touched the pool floor, which was five meters deep. 

There was nothing she could do as her muscles were given up.

Is this the end?... She wondered.

Then, as expected or not, depending on how you view it, a figure slowly came into her vision.

Black hair swayed as he swam in her direction. His expression was calm with no hint of worry. Why would a guy with that kind of expression save him then?

No, that was not the important part. The important part was that she…

Narukami fluidly swam in her way. From an outsider's perspective, his swimming was spectacular, it felt like watching a pro swimmer directly!

He moved his legs up and down as if they were a tail. His arms were not used but strange enough, he was as fast as someone who swam with their legs and arms! 

"Amazing," one of the girls said in disbelief. Who would've thought the quiet and the most hated kid in the class has such a talent?

That was not applied to the girl, everyone who saw this started to change their perspective toward him.

The water was clear so they could see Narukami grab Kuroda's waist. Some were envied and hoped they were him, some were relieved.

Narukami swam up as he carried Kuroda as if she was a princess. He moved his legs to paddle himself out of the water.

Later, after getting out of the water with Kuroda. He looked at each of his classmate's faces for brief seconds.

In one second, he noticed some of their expressions were worried and afraid, some were panicking. 

Their expression was quite normal in fact, making him the only weirdo, he can still make a calm and nonchalant expression.

Some students were too focused on Kuroda who was lying on the floor, motionless.

"Hey, are you there?" Narukami gave her a good shake to wake her up but her eyelids were closed shut.

Narukami hurriedly placed his cheek near her mouth. He can feel it, even though her breathing was extremely weak, she was still alive. 

Next, he put his ear to her left chest. Her nonchalant expression changed instantly.

Someone who noticed his change of expression asked, "what's wrong, Narukami? Is she okay? Is she breathing?"

Narukami fell in a daze for a brief moment but those words dragged him to reality.

He shook his head.
