Her disappointment was apparent, making Hajime a little bad about it. It would be hard to hide who he is in a school full of Ultimates, some of them being detectives and other very intelligence-inclined talents that could get curious and investigate. He wouldn’t underestimate these children, or to put his friends in danger — by all means, he was still a fugitive and would be arrested if his secret ever comes to light.
❝ Those were difficult times for everybody. You were probably too young to remember. ❞ Hinata glossed over, hinting it would be tied to The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History — also known as The Tragedy, for short. Information was hard to come by, a lot of it was lost, and the girl too young to remember or he thought — if she was even born at the time. If not, she probably heard from her History classes. Naegi very likely had his students learning about it at some point. His hand reached the back of his head, scratching it a little, but halting when he realized it was too close to the scar of the procedure. His expression went sour for a moment, but when the pianist mentioned a very familiar name, his face lit again.
❝ Ah, I see. You are one of my wife’s students. ❞ every time she talked about the kids, Chiaki’s face lighted up and started talking excitedly, almost like when she talked about games. To see her so enthusiastic and happy never failed to make him smile. She deserved happiness after everything she went through, and she loved these kids. Sometimes Hajime would worry about her feelings after they graduate, but he knew that she would be proud. ❝ Aren’t you the class representative? I think I remember she mentioned you a few times, and that boy…Saihara, right? ❞
❝ My talent is called Analytic Prowess. ❞ it was his usual cover-up excuse ❝ Basically, my mind is always analyzing things, studying every single pattern and being able to calculate instantaneously, close to a computer. So I don’t exactly have any musical aptitude. I just… Analyze things, understand them and use it to predict. Or, in other words, I can learn really fast just by watching or analyzing. ❞ whilst it was an accurate description of that talent, it wasn’t his only talent – he had the talents of the 76 classes before Nanami’s, it would be over a thousand students, and some were Ultimate Pianists or had similar skillsets.
❝ I actually find admirable when people get excited about their talent. I think it is important to be passionate about things, to enjoy what you do. ❞ as Kamukura,, he never felt a single hint of joy when using his power. Now? Every little thing that he does that make someone smile is very gratifying.
Many of the students were born near the end of the disaster so to many it would sound like horror stories. She can remember vaguely her parents moving around a lot and not being able to understand what is happening. Before they finally settled in a nice apartment in the city allowing her to explore her interest. So he wasn’t wrong in his assumption but at the mention of her teacher being his wife, her eyes widened. Remembering some games the teacher brought in saying she had her husband help her.
“Ah-” At him mentioning how she was class representative, she flushed, moving a hand to the back of her neck. It still amazed her that somehow she ended up the one representing the class as her talent wasn’t at all involved in leadership. A piano wasn’t exactly an instrument that required you to be able to lead people but everyone had surprisingly agreed. With Saihara helping as a kind of ‘second in command’. “Yeah, I am, guess she talks a lot about us huh? I’m still surprised I became a representative you don’t think of a piano player as the leader sort.”
When he stated how he was an Analytic Prowess, she places a hand on her chin curious as he explained what that meant. Guessing it did explain why despite the fact he was able to play so beautifully it did lack a bit of the normal passion of it. If it was less about the musical aptitude and just simply analyzing the steps but that didn’t take away it’s beauty at all. “Hm, I see well Nanami-sensei did say her husband was like the jack of all trades and takes good care of her as she talks about you a lot too.”
Still, if he was here then did that mean he was here to see sensei? Most likely considering if they were husband and wife.
“Does that mean you’re here to see Sensei? We are all on a small break right now so she might be in the classroom right now since we just took a test.” She noted, more than willing to help out especially since now that she knows who he was that made things a lot easier.
