Jikirukuto: Takoyuki Arc

Yuki, still disoriented from her frantic search, suddenly recalled that she was assigned to Class Section A—the top class. With renewed determination, she approached a door labeled "Science Lab - Section A." Taking a deep breath, she swung the door open and, channeling her inner Cristiano Ronaldo, exclaimed, "Siuuu!"

The entire class turned to stare, their experiments momentarily forgotten. At the front, a professor with wild hair and a lab coat—resembling a mad scientist—grinned widely.

"Ah, a new challenger enters!" he declared theatrically. "Welcome! We're just about to commence our volcano experiments. Care to join us?"

Yuki's mind raced. Overwhelmed by the situation, she instinctively adopted a chuunibyo persona, reminiscent of Hououin Kyouma from Steins;Gate.

"Behold!" she proclaimed, striking a dramatic pose. "I am the mad scientist, Hououin Yuki! The world shall tremble before my scientific prowess!"

The professor's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Excellent! A fellow mad scientist! Let's see what you can create."

The Unconventional Volcano Experiment

Yuki was handed molding clay to craft her volcano. Unsure of the appropriate size, she glanced around to ensure no one was watching and pressed the clay against her chest to form a mold. Satisfied with the result, she placed her uniquely shaped volcano on the table.

As the class proceeded with their experiments, whispers spread among the students.

"Is it just me, or does her volcano look... familiar?" one student murmured.

"Yeah, it's like... anatomically inspired," another replied, eyebrows raised.

Yuki pretended not to hear, focusing intently on her creation.

The Unexpected Eruption

The professor approached, his excitement palpable. "Alright, Hououin Yuki, let's see your volcano in action!"

Yuki added the final ingredients, and the volcano began to bubble. However, instead of erupting upwards, the concoction spewed horizontally, sending a stream of safe, lava-like substance directly toward the doorway—

—where the principal had just entered.

The colorful "lava" splattered across the principal's face, dripping comically from his nose and chin. The room fell silent, students and professor alike frozen in shock.

Yuki's eyes widened, her chuunibyo facade crumbling. "I-I didn't mean to—"

The principal wiped his face with a handkerchief, his expression unreadable. Then, to everyone's surprise, he chuckled.

"Well, that's certainly the most... innovative volcano eruption I've witnessed. Carry on, students." With that, he turned and left, leaving the class in stunned silence.

The professor burst into hearty laughter. "Bravo, Hououin Yuki! A memorable experiment indeed!"

The tension in the room dissolved into laughter and applause. Yuki, though mortified, couldn't help but smile sheepishly.

Note: The lava-like substance used in the experiment was entirely safe and non-toxic, designed for educational purposes.

As the class continued, Yuki felt a mix of embarrassment and exhilaration. Her unintentional antics had not only entertained her classmates but also left an indelible mark on her first day.

Little did she know, this was just the beginning of her unpredictable high school journey.
