Chapter 25 | Surprise

"No way!"
"Uwah! He's so hot!"
"Is he seriously going to stand in for our teacher today?"
"Who's the other guy standing at the door? Could it be his servant?"
"I wonder what he is going to teach us for mathematics. Algorithm? Wait, am I even on the right page?"
Amidst the loud chatters that erupted among the students, Tsuna is frozen in his seat, not moving nor twitching. He just looked like he is in pure shock. Seijuuro looked at him in amusement, slightly surprised that his friend is acting this way towards the stand-in teacher. He previously had no problem with new teachers, why is he an exception?
The teacher in substitution for their absent Maths teacher --believed to have caught the flu-- has stylishly messed up hairstyle, a pair of geeky glasses perked at the bridge of his nose. His chocolate eyes were bright and he wore an attractive smile. All the ladies swooned at his appearance while the gentlemen groaned at their actions. Seijuuro does admit that the teacher is good looking, but he got curious as to why did he have so many bandages wrapped on his left arm.
"Ciao~ My name is Dino
Tsuna could not help but gulp in fear at the thought of Enzo growing in size in front of the civilians. He did not want to risk his other life from getting exposed.
"Oh! Also, if you bully my little brother, I won't be nice to you either!"
The brunet wants to dig a hole in the ground now and bury himself inside. Seijuuro chuckled at his behaviour. He now knows the connection between these two. They are brothers of some sort.
"Dino-sensei, who is your brother?"
Said teacher gawked at them for a moment, shot Tsuna a they-didn't-know-? look before pointing at the brunet with his hand.
"Why! It's Tsuna! Tell me, had he been bullied recently-"
The said boy stood up abruptly, red in the face.
"Dino-san, can you please carry on now, please? I beg of you! Or I'll tell our tutor that you dropped dead in the middle of rabid fangirls and couldn't save yourself."
Now the grown man seemed to turn as white as sheet. He quickly straightened himself and began to teach, doing his best to keep the class engaged and fun.
Tsuna sank back into his seat, glad that no one can question him or the Cavallone boss about anything now.
~Shogi~
Lunchtime is the period he looked forward to so much usually. However, today is not the day. He dreaded lunch today.
"President! Is Teacher Dino really your brother?"
"Really?"
Tsuna tried to smile through the whole Q&A session about Dino and his life. He did try to leave out the mafia part, saying that he was the heir of one of the famous construction company --No way is he going to say that he is the CEO. All of them will freak out and question why the boss would work for fun in a school.
He himself had no idea why Dino is working as a teacher. He does highly suspect a certain hitman's meddling though.
As if a miracle, the blond suddenly opened the door of the classroom and asked.
"Tsuna, can you come here for a minute? I need to speak to you regarding... things... privately."
Confused, he tilted his head in question. He then asked in a code. "Were you under orders? Perhaps from Nonno (grandfather)?"
"There's a storm coming and rain would accompany it, despite the sky being lit brightly by the sun. However, the sky is still clear."
The brunet blinked in surprise. The ninth and Reborn had
The redhead simply agreed and followed.
The two followed their teacher to the roof, where they can get almost absolute privacy. The council room would not work for now because there are members in there clearing their own paperwork.
Once they reached the roof, they made sure to clear the place of people, lock the door and move away from the door, ensuring that no one can eavesdrop in their conversation.
"Okay, Dino-san. Please spill what grandpa wants to tell me."
Seijuuro quirked an eyebrow. "Wait, how did you know that Dino-sensei wanted to relay to you about what your grandfather had told him?"
"It's a familial code. It changes from time to time." Tsuna let out a nervous chuckle, realising how close the redhead could get the truth out of him.
"A-Anyways! What is the reason for coming to my school? I'm sure a Chief executive officer (CEO) has more things to do right?"
Seijuuro's jaw nearly slackened. A CEO? No wonder he looked familiar to him. The blond, Dino Cavallone, has appeared in private parties sometimes as the head of the Cavallone design and construction company.
Dino chuckled at his reaction before answering his little brother.
"Nonno wants to pull you out of school. He's not in good health at the moment. The doctors aren't being too optimistic about his condition either. So Reborn and he had decided to pull you out of school after your second year."
Tsuna widened his eyes at the statement and didn't know what to get flustered by, his mentor and grandfather wanting to pull him out of school or his grandfather being ill.
Seijuuro could see his inner turmoil and understood why he was brought along even though the news was only for the ears of his brunet friend. He patted him on the shoulder, rubbing comforting circles on his back.
Dino stood at the side, watching the duo silently. He knew how the young one feels and knew that the phrase "it is all gonna be fine" wasn't going to be true. The idea of a loved one being gravely ill is already terrifying, much less on his death bed --wait, that was himself.
The redhead gave the brunet a final pat on the shoulder. "I'll take over your work for today. Go home after school, Tsuna, you'll need it."
Said male wanted to protest but the news was still devastating and had not sunk in yet. Seijuuro's offer sounded like
The other was about to follow but Dino stopped him all of a sudden. Curious, he faced the man but what he got was a grateful look and a thankful note from the blond.
"Please do continue to look out for him. From what I see, he treasures your friendship a lot. So thank you, from me and his family."
He was left alone at the roof.
