Disciple Bizarre!
Ch. 10 - Funny Pupil

(Kusakabe Hide POV)

"Haha! Ahahaha! Ahhaha!"

The students laughed.

"Haha! Ahhaha!"

The teachers laughed.

"Haha!"

The neighbor cat laughed too.

Something is strange with me. Everyone who looks at me will always laugh. I don't laugh, I don't look like a clown. But people laugh every time they look at me.

Am I really a reincarnation comedian?

No, it's impossible. I have no memory of my previous life. I still remember how my gloomy kindergarten ended up sitting in ninth grade right now.

Nothing strange to me. I'm a normal human being.

It's just....

Why do people laugh when they see me?

"Haha! Ahahaha! Ahhaha!"

This morning, at breakfast, my father and mother kept laughing as they went to breakfast. I almost finished my breakfast, but they still laughed.

"Hide." Mom had stopped laughing, she got up from the floor and stared at me.

"Yes, what's wrong, ma'am?"

"Sorry, Ib-bwahahaha!!!"

"Mother!!!"

Dad got up from the floor, his expression looking solemn.

"Hide!"

"Yes!"

"You've-hahahahaha."

"Dad!!!"

How did this happen? Why do people laugh when they see me? Am I cursed?

I'm sure it must have been me. I may have some hidden power that makes the person who looks at me laugh.

I have to leave before their laughing boxes break.

...×××...

I began to realize that this strange power was real. Everyone who looks at me will laugh. No matter who it is, it will laugh. Even the one who was crying laughed when he saw my face.

Therefore, from now on, I have to keep my eyes. I can't make other people fuss.

"Kusakabe-kun." Someone called.

I'm staying down.

"Kusakabe-kun!" He patted my shoulder.

"Yes?" I looked, it was the class leader.

"Kusakabe-kun, you are yes, called no reply! You haven't collected the pieces." Hahahaha."

"What sheet?!"

"Maha."

The class leader laughed. I was confused what he wanted to say.

"Muilkabe!" Another student patted my shoulder again.

I'm turning.

"Let's go to-hahahahaha."

"Hahahahaha where is that?!"

"Maha."

Really, what's up with people? Why are they all laughing at me?

"Kusakabe." Someone patted me on the shoulder again.

I'm turning.

"Maha."

"Would you like to talk or laugh?!"

"Maha."

Ah. kang-gawat, something's wrong with me. Last week was not like this.

"Kusakabe-kun."

A girl patted my shoulder.

This time I didn't look.

"Don't look at me, you'll laugh!"

"There's nothing funny here, I won't laugh."

"You don't understand, I have a curse, you'll laugh when you see me!"

"There's something I want to talk to you about. Please look at me. I promise I won't laugh."

Since the girl was pushy, I turned to her.

"seen? I'm not laughing, am I?" We looked at each other for more than five seconds, but he didn't laugh.

"Why? Why don't you laugh, Yoshino?"

"That's because I managed to dodge your strange power."

"Weird power?"

"Yes, you have a strange power, Kusakabe-kun. If you see a person blink, then that person will laugh. Until this second, I didn't blink at all, so I didn't laugh."

After saying that, Yoshino lowered her head for a while, then looked back at me.

"What do you mean by strange powers? Why do I have this power?"

Yoshino looked me directly in the eye, without even blinking a single moment.

"That's because I also have strange powers."

"Huh-huh...."

"Open your uniform now!"

Yoshino suddenly unbuttoned my uniform forcefully.

"Oi Yoshino, what do you want to do?!"

"I'll prove that you have strange powers."

"How is it?!"

"Shut up and follow my words."

Finally, I put my body in Yoshino's favor.

She forced open my uniform in the school hallway, embarrassing me. People look over here. We both became spectacle materials.

"What do you see!?"

I tried to throw them away, but they laughed.

"Maha."

"Maha."

"Maha."

What because I saw them blink, huh?

"Meet."

I don't know what Yoshino found in my body, but he took a picture of it with the camera.

"This, look. There's a red asterisk under your left armpit." Yoshino showed me her picture on her phone.

"Keep why?"

"That means you have some strange power."

"Can't you!?"

"Their problem...."

Yoshino took off her red scarf right in front of my eyes, and immediately saw a large red star mark on her neck.

"That-that's...."

"This is a red star sign, indicating that I have strange powers." Yoshino pointed at the red star sign on her neck. "It's actually a curse, but I'd rather call it a strange power. You're the same as me, Kusakabe-kun."

Come to think of it, I don't remember ever getting a red star tattoo on my body. And also, it's under the armpits. There's no way I'm getting a tattoo in that weird place.

"I started to gain strange powers after this red star mark appeared all of a sudden. You do too, right?"

"It seems so...."

Yoshino wears a scarf, apparently to cover her red star sign.

"Then it's confirmed." Yoshino put on a style, and pointed at my face with her finger. "You are the possessor of a strange power, Kusakabe-kun!"

I swallowed spit.

"What's your strange power, Yoshino?"

"Secret."

Yoshino turned around to leave me.

"Oi, Yoshino, wait! Tell me your strange powers!" I ran after him.

"Curious?"

"No, I'm not curious! I just want to know!"

"That's called curious."

"I'm not curious!"

"I won't tell you."

"Y-yes, already!"

That was the beginning of everything.

A strange phenomenon that I cannot believe, but it is true.

I have a curse.

Yoshino has one too.

After that, people with curses like ours started popping up all over Japan. Two people found abroad.

We all went to Subarashii High School, and were collected in Class 1-F.
