Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Sports Festival at a 'Non' Anime School

Two months after Rumi's first day of school, nothing particularly noteworthy happened. To begin with, during her first week at school, everyone wanted to meet her and be her friends.

However, she quickly realized that most of them did it because of her exotic appearance, thinking they could flirt with her and that she would agree to fulfill their fantasies as if this were an 'H' anime. Obviously, she told most of them to go to hell.

As for those who didn't want to be her 'friends', they were the envious and the mutant haters. They had never seen a mutant, but now that they had seen one, they thought they had the right to hate mutants. She truly felt sorry for the mutants who couldn't defend themselves.

She knew she wasn't a mutant. According to the data compiled by the mad scientist, she wasn't even human from a scientific standpoint. His research indicated that the quirk she was born with was a gene that, when activated, restructures her entire body from her DNA, even changing the structure of her cells.

This alters her entire being, making her body better and more adaptable to her powers. That's why her skeleton is lighter and stronger than any known superhuman, and why she has photographic memory, enhanced reflexes, greater stamina, and a long list of other physical enhancements.

Mutants, on the other hand, despite their mutant gene, are still recognizable as human beings, at least in their DNA. This is why she knows why the world's greatest mind bender (Xavier) hasn't found her yet.

After the first week, she basically became a kind of delinquent girl. Most admired her from a distance or tried to flirt with her. Most of those who wanted to get too clever and tried to touch her lasciviously ended up with a broken hand or without a tooth, which gave her her reputation as a wild bunny.

Another thing she found out was that the idiot who tried to rob her on the first day was the son of a Yakuza. The guy had been found along with his whole gang and they were hospitalized. Some tried to sue her, but they couldn't prove anything and nothing could be done. The Yakuza's son was still in a coma and was left paralyzed for life. She didn't regret any of it, since apparently she wasn't the only girl he wanted to rape, so she quickly forgot about it.

The days passed without incident, and today there was going to be a sports festival. She wouldn't deny that she was curious about it; usually in anime, today would be a day where all the students would participate in sports competitions and there would be a lot of fan service, so she was obviously going to participate.

Right now, she had already changed into her sportswear and was in formation along with her entire class, waiting for the event to begin.

"Dear teachers and students, today I am pleased to begin our school's sports festival. At this institution, we practice respect and discipline, which is why I want all students to play fairly and with sportsmanship. Without further ado, let the sports festival begin!" said the principal as everyone applauded. She couldn't wait to get some exercise.

"The first event will be a basketball game; all classes will have a team, so I expect discipline and order," said the principal as all the classes gathered to choose their team.

"I'm going to be the team captain, is there a problem with that?!" Rumi shouted excitedly, to which her teammates simply agreed. They already knew that Rumi was stronger than average, so she could give them an advantage.

"You pick the rest of the team, I'll be warming up," said Rumi as she stretched and warmed up. In the end, everyone chose guys Rumi didn't know but who looked somewhat athletic.

The first match was between her class and her parallel class. Once both teams were on the field, the match began.

"This isn't the place for you, doll, you should be with the cheerleaders," said a guy who looked very muscular. Although she knew those muscles were fake, from afar you could see that he augmented them with drugs and steroids.

"So? Well, let's see how good you are, inflatable doll!" Rumi shouted excitedly as the game began, and in just a second she took the ball and circled around them. She ran, dodging everyone with ease, and with a jump she put the ball in the hoop.

"I think you should be with the cheerleaders, inflatable doll!!" Rumi mocked the muscular teenager, who just got angry and tried to take the ball from Rumi, but she could dodge any attempt.

After a crushing victory, Rumi's team faced other courses, but she won every game. After basketball, a relay race competition was held.

"Listen, all participants must run a 200-meter race. Each one has to carry a baton to the finish line to win the race. The teams are by grade," said the director. Rumi felt this was too easy, so she chose to be last to add suspense.

The race started and she was near the back of the pack; it seemed like everyone was losing on purpose. She even saw the person in front of her walking along, completely relaxed. It didn't bother her; in a display of speed, she overtook everyone and won the race.

So she tried many sports, from shot put to archery. To be honest, she felt a little disappointed. Everything was normal, even though she had expected it to be more fun. But it wasn't. The whole school was normal; in fact, it seemed to have the characteristic hatred of mutants and foreigners. She felt cheated.

"Isn't it how you thought it would be, true?" asked a slim, normal looking Mexican boy with brown eyes, tan skin, and black hair. She sensed him approaching with her haki, but he had no ill intentions, so she left him alone for the time being.

"Do you feel cheated too?" Rumi asked curiously. From his appearance and words, he obviously seemed a little disappointed.

"More than you can imagine. Japan is one of the most advanced countries in the world and its inhabitants are kind and respectful, or at least that's what they want you to think. Since I arrived, everyone treats me badly as if I had a disease, as if I were inferior to all of them. The Japanese are very proud and traditional, so they treat most foreigners badly. I suppose they are only respectful and kind to Europeans," said the Mexican with a bitter tone. It seemed that Rumi was not the only one who was disappointed with the Japanese.

"Those Japanese people think I'm one of those whores who will do whatever they want if they give me money. One of those salarymen wanted to sleep with me for 100,000 yen. I guess we both fell for the stories that Japan is a tolerant country," Rumi said, laughing a little at the absurdity of her situation. The difference between Russia and Japan with mutants was that one was openly against them, and the other secretly hated them so as not to tarnish its image as a friendly country.

"My name is Ruiz Fernandez, I suppose it's a pleasure to meet the famous killer bunny," the boy said mockingly. He had heard many rumors about the mutant in front of him, but most of them were apparently made up by his classmates.

"I'm Rumi Usagiyama. It's good to see a Mexican. I guess it's better to see an honest idiot than many hypocrites and envious people," Rumi said mockingly. She felt a little curious about this guy; it seemed it would be more pleasant to befriend him than the other imbeciles.

"Well, it's hard not to be an idiot when I'm in front of an irritating anime girl," the Mexican said with amusement. He really believed that Rumi looked like an anime girl.

"Hahaha, you want me to kick your teeth out!!!" Rumi said, a little annoyed and amused by the humor of this idiot.

"I'd rather you crush my head with your thighs if I have to choose a way to die," the guy said mischievously, liking Rumi's confident and strong attitude.

"You have a lot of guts. You're also lucky I don't see any lust in your joke, because otherwise I'd knock your teeth out," Rumi said with amusement and a bit of surprise.

"Well, what can I say? With your idiotic personality, it's hard to see you as a woman. You look more like a muscle bound brain that, if it has a problem, will get out of it with punches and kicks."

"You look like an anime 'H'-addicted idiot. You probably came running all the way from Mexico to get into this school because you heard there was a rabbit girl," Rumi said jokingly, returning the joke to the Mexican.

"I guess we're both a couple of idiots. Do you want to go to a manga and anime store a few blocks from here? You can try to hide it, but I'm sure you came to Japan for more than just school," he said with a little joke to Rumi, knowing that she also came for the anime.

"I guess this is better than wasting time at a boring sports festival. Come on, at least you could be good for that, Mexican Otaku," Rumi joked, liking the guy's personality.

"I am good for something, anime bunny 'H'. Let's go before they close the store," Ruiz retorted mockingly, referring to the insults this bunny was giving him.

After that, the two left the school and went to a manga store. Upon arriving, they went inside and looked for the anime they liked, until a fierce battle like no other began.

"What are you talking about?! Dragon Ball Z is the best anime ever made. Its fights and plot are the best!!" Rumi shouted in surprise at the blasphemy this guy said about Dragon Ball Z.

"That's not true. Saint Seiya is better. Its fights are better and it has a better story than Dragon Ball Z. They're just space monkeys who fight with anything. Saint Seiya are warriors who fight in service to the goddess Athena for justice against other gods. Obviously, Goku is weaker than any of Athena's Bronze Saints!!" Ruiz said fanatically. When he invited the brainless rabbit, he thought she had good taste and liked Saint Seiya, but he was surprised that she liked the garbage with no arguments that is Dragon Ball Z.

"Even Yamcha can defeat any Gold Saint without his armor! Only cowards hide behind armor and ask for power from a useless goddess who does nothing but die and get kidnapped by villains. I'm sure that without their armor, they'd all be instantly killed by anyone with a gun!!" Rumi scoffed angrily, frustrated at how stupid he was to think the Gold Saints could defeat Goku. Nothing and no one can beat Goku!

"What are you two talking about? Ichigo is the most powerful character in anime! Get out of my store, and don't come back until you have good taste in anime, you damn foreigners!" the store cashier shouted furiously as he pushed Rumi and Ruiz out of his store and into the street.

The two of them stood there like fools, watching as they were kicked out of the store. After a few minutes, they both laughed at the situation.

"See?! The cashier told you that you have shitty taste. You probably only like gentlemen because you're gay and trying to hide it," Rumi said mischievously, seeing that her friend was still frozen like an idiot.

"You're just a brain and muscles, so it's natural that you like an anime of pure violence. I'm sure you like to fight and that's why you watch Dragon Ball Z," he said mockingly to the bunny girl, trying to irritate her.

"You're right, I like to fight. I guess a wimp like you only likes to watch Boku no Pico," Rumi said mockingly. This guy was easy to annoy; it was like he was begging for it.

"I guess you win today, killer bunny. See you another day. It's already night and I'm tired," he said listlessly, feeling rejected from his manga shop. Now he had to find another one, and that would tire him out for the day.

"I'm tired for today too. See you around, idiot," Rumi said happily, pleased to meet someone who didn't hate her with all their soul or want to sleep with her. It was easy for every day to be annoying and irritating when everyone looked at you like you were a piece of meat.

After a long day, Rumi prepared to leave, thinking about how interesting it would be to have a friend.
