April 30th 2xxx – Izumi PoV
"So... this girl, Taylor, is coming to train?" my mother asked, trying to look nonchalant while sipping so tea on the counter. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, any minute now, we'll be in the yard." I could see her eye twitch, but she nodded.
"I want to et her." I sighed tiredly, I still didn't like Taylor romantically, but I had to say that she was a good option, I still didn't know her well enough to have an answer, we had n't had a single small talk since it was only two short encounters, but I wasn't against trying.
It wasn't sothing I really liked to rush, even more so what was at stake, since by law in Japan a man must have 3 wives before turning 21 and a child on the way, two more before 25, it was sowhat restrictive, but considering the low birth rate there was nothing I could do, and I had looked at other countries and the laws were even worse, so n in other countries began having children from the age of 15 and without being able to choose their partners, it was lucky that Japan was not so desperate.
The only good thing is that if I get into UA I can delay my firstborn until I'm 24, and the next ones until I'm 28, so that was a saving grace.
Still, most romantic relationships a man ford ended in marriage, and divorce could only happen if either the woman gave birth to three children and they were all girls, or she had a male child before that, and if you had just 3 wives then you were required to find a third within a year or the governnt would choose for you.
Again, complicated.
Exactly for that reason most n ended up marrying acquaintances or friends who went to the sa schools or universities as them, since they knew them well enough to have an idea of their character, the abuse of n by won existed in this world and it was sothing that n were made aware of from a young age, even I was given a talk about so won are bad, don't stay alone with won you don't know, don't go down alleys, always be in sight and on busy streets, if there's a heroine all the better, if possible travel in a group, keep a finger on the ergency number in case sothing happens, etc.
Gender violence was horrible in any of the worlds, in this one it was mostly sexual, but depending on the environnt you found yourself in there were different levels of sexist discrimination determined by the prevalence of won over n in this case.
It wasn't sothing that really concerned , yes I do experience harassnt and so levels of discrimination but nothing I couldn't ignore or just lash out at, so of the won that tried sothing on or a group of friends I hung out with ended up buried up to their necks in concrete for hours until soone found them.
Unfortunately , it was a reality in this world, I am the one who is truly an anomaly, the templates I was given were ridiculously strong for won with average quirks and having been raised and reached adulthood in the other world with another set of values, were more than enough for to lash out and defend myself tooth and nail if necessary.
Also, it's about ti I started looking for a relationship, I really didn't want the governnt to choose for , it could never end well. The few dating attempts I had during high school were a complete disaster, like I said, discrimination, when they found out I was going to beco a hero/hunter they started to freak out, partly because, as a man, my place was in the house, sothing most won expected, and the other part, won were insecure, their quirks weren't strong enough to have no chance of getting into any important hero school, so they felt insecure and jealous and then the classic toxic behavior would start, it was pathetic. So, my hopes were on the girls at UA being different, one can only hope.
"Of course, we'll have lunch here." My mother nodded in satisfaction and I just grimaced, I almost felt sorry for Taylor, the sound of soone knocking on the door alerted us both, we both headed to the door "Taylor!"
" Izumi ." Taylor blurted out in relief as she walked in, I winced as my mother's eyebrows rose.
" Izumi ?" I asked incredulously, Taylor paled at the realization, I rolled my eyes, walked over to Taylor and grabbed her by the wrist.
"We'll be training." I said as I dragged Taylor along and glared at my mother, my mother just ignored and with a frown tried to punch a hole in Taylor's head, who just let herself be dragged along by mortified, before heading to the patio we went up the stairs and entered my room where I finally let her go and headed to my closet, it was full of clothes, I wasn't really vain in this life but the clothes were gifts from my friends every ti we went out together, it just kept piling up until I had a bigger than necessary closet overflowing with stuff, I rummaged through the clothes for a few seconds before finding what I needed, a second outfit of certified badass and I turned to Taylor, who was looking curiously around the room, I approached and coughed lightly to get her attention, she almost jumped in fright.
"S-sorry! I wasn't looking! " I snorted amusedly, I didn't think there was anything interesting to see in my room but I was sure it was Taylor's first ti in a boy's room so I didn't say anything, my past life teenage self acted the sa.
"Here, put it on." I said, giving it to her in her hands. She looked confused and I turned my back on her before starting to undress until I was only in my underwear, specifically boxers .
"WHAT-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Taylor squealed. I didn't have to see her to know that she was completely blushing at the unexpected sight. I could feel her trying to look away but her head was still firmly in place. I didn't worry too much and simply grabbed my certified badass outfit that I had prepared beforehand and quickly put it on before turning around. Taylor, red up to her neck, imdiately looked away trying to pretend that she wasn't staring at a few monts ago. "Y-you have a tattoo?" She practically squealed. I shook my head. And indeed she didn't have one, but she did have a birthmark. In fact, it was the Demon Slayer mark that ca with Yoriichi 's template . The weird thing was that it wasn't on my face like Yoriichi 's , but they were stupidly identical to Izumi 's tattoos. Miyamura canon had on his body, now how exactly do birthmarks look like perfectly made tribal marks? I have no fucking idea, but she had them.
"It's a birthmark, chop-chop, the clothes." I ignored her behavior while clapping, Taylor was startled but followed the order quickly, she didn't even ask to look away, even when she took off her sweatshirt and shirt leaving her small breasts in the open air, and I didn't react in any way, the amount of won who show their breasts on television or in public, practically desensitized to a certain point, that doesn't an they weren't pretty, in an adorable way but my gaze was only on her for a few seconds, Taylor only gave a shy glance when she took off her pants leaving her now in boxers , which by the way, boxers are sothing common in won of this world, unlike n's underwear, which I tried to erase from my mind with all my might, I would die before wearing that type of clothing, thinking about it alone makes tremble with horror. As I watched Taylor get dressed I snorted in amusent as I looked closely at her boxers , it was the face of Armsmaster , or Armsmistress in this world, Taylor blushed at the sight I had and got dressed more quickly.
Taylor finished getting dressed and was standing in front of , baggy white pants, and a tight black top that reached halfway up her biceps and ended below Taylor's breasts leaving her stomach visible which she tried to cover in sha, Taylor was tall and slender, but the few months of working out seed to fill her out in all the right places, she certainly didn't have any pronounced curves to show yet, but enough to be attractive, her stomach was slightly filled out, nothing that stuck out but it seed that even in this world it was a source of sha to her because of the way she tried to cover it.
"Okay, let's go." I said before leaving the room with Taylor following quickly behind, once in the yard Taylor was surprised at how big it was, how strange, I thought she was inspecting the place with her insects but it seems that she is not surprised just by that although I must say that it is a beautiful view, the yard was divided into two halves, the first was the closest one that was completely covered in rocks and stones without a hint of green except for the ends of the dirt yard which extended for almost 15 ters until reaching a pond that separated both halves and they were only joined by a wooden bridge, the pond had no life in it so it was just stagnant water while the second half was an extensive green, it was at least 60 ters long until the trees began to grow, everything was 30 ters wide, I guided Taylor along a small cobbled path that linked the house to the bridge
"Amazing." Taylor murmured as she followed fascinated, I clapped loudly startling Taylor.
"Now, we'll be training ." I said with a wide smile, Taylor paled, I felt the bugs land on my body quickly and she raised both arms into position, I rolled my eyes "we won't be fighting."
"W-what?" she asked awkwardly lowering her arms, I was genuinely confused, I snorted.
"While we've already made it clear that you have no training in fighting-" she grimaced "-it's true that you don't have any training in fighting either, so we'll start with the basics." Taylor blinked several tis in bewildernt.
