Career Choice || Hachiman x Yukino || (COMPLETED)

Chapter 11

The most common thought after an incident like that would be 'What was I thinking?'.

But I believe that I retaliated in self-defense. Punching that guy and tackling him to the ground was the smartest decision ever made. Second to finding the right present for Komachi.

For the first time, I felt very powerful in my capabilities. I was a coward,

Looking back at 2nd year, he really pushed me to the wall and did all that. And he likely assumed I was the same person and I wouldn't fight back.

They never said that working out builds confidence.

I have heard that it doesn't matter if you work out or not, the USMC will break your limits. I only gave myself a normal workout because I needed to pass the PT (Physical Training).

As the week begin to pass, Komachi has successfully transported my homework to my room so I could graduate. I need a high school diploma if I want to have a higher chance of becoming a marine.

"I get punching the handsome Hayama would make you ditch school but I think Yukino-chan and Yui-chan are really worried."

"That is the least of your concerns. I doubt you would keep in contact with them after they graduate. They'll be so busy going to university."

She exhaled a deep sigh and leaves the homework on my desk.

Have I told my parents yet? I will write them a letter about my disappearance. Komachi said that I should tell them in a way where it doesn't escalate into violence. So that's was the best I thought of.

My dad can man up for all I care. He told me to find something that pays off my university, I got something that would pay for my entire life.

It's my mother I'm more worried about. She will 100% refuse to let me go.

You only need parental consent if you're 17. I turned 18 not long ago so I'm officially an adult in US standards.

...

Graduation day has finally arrived.

You'd think I would keep my promise. But do you really expect me to show up to school and casually greet them after they probably found out I violently attacked Hayama? I'm surprised I wasn't expelled.

Someone must've saved me in the nick of time.

What I did was unnecessary. I only did it out of sheer anger and I wasn't in control of myself.

But he shouldn't have punched me to begin with.

What would the outcome have been if he hadn't shown up?

Yukinoshita's hands were wrapped around my face, and it was centimeters away from hers. And that was the only time I had second thoughts about joining the military.

Could it be that....

No, that wouldn't happen. Not even in 14,000,605 different scenarios in alternate universes.

And before graduation had officially started, I secretly went to the gymnasium where everything was set up already. There were only a few students present but none of them would notice my presence which I am glad it finally came in handy.

The security system seems really dull and has many flaws.

There are a bunch of high school diplomas just laying on the table, ready to be given to the 3rd year students.

"Senpai?"

Dammit..

"Senpai, is that really you? Oh my god!"
