Love In Every Reality (Hancock x Luffy One Shot Collection)

An Academic Affair

Grandline University, the undisputed most prestigious educational institution in the world. This university has produced countless successful graduates who went on to become influential people in their fields. With such prestige, this university naturally employed talented staff to maintain its reputation. This was especially true for the professors.

One of these professors was walking through the halls of the faculty building with proud and confident steps. Despite wearing the same standard clothes as her colleagues, she was in her own class of elegance and beauty. If there were anything that defines natural beauty, it would be her.

"Professor Boa."

She stopped when her name was called. She turned around to see a short elderly woman in a dress suit.

"Department Head, what's the matter?"

"I've been receiving a lot of complaints from your students and colleagues about your cold behaviour."

The professor frowned.

"I assure you I've been nothing but professional. If anyone has a problem, they need to look inward and ask themselves what they truly seek by interacting with me."

The Department Head sighed.

"There's a pattern with those who made the complaints—"

"They're all male."

The professor finished what the Department Head was about to say.

"Hancock, I'm well aware of what happened to you with your male colleagues at your previous job. I even sympathise, greatly. However, we can't overlook discrimination of any kind at this university."

"Elder Nyon, I'm still performing my duties to the best of my abilities despite my hatred towards the uglier sex. So there shouldn't be any problem."

"Uglier sex...."

Elder Nyon sighed and wore a face of defeat.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

Hancock turned and walked away.

"Just try to be a bit nicer, okay?!"

Hancock ignored Elder Nyon's shout and continued walking. She exited the faculty building with hurried steps.

"Hancock!"

Her steps halted as a male voice entered her ears. She scanned her surroundings looking for the source.

"Up here!"

She followed the voice and focused on a tree in front of the building. Something fell from the tree with a thud. It was a young man dressed in a red top, black shorts, sandals, and a strawhat. He dusted himself off and ran up towards the confused Hancock.

"Hanc--"

"Stop."

She lifted her hand to stop him from coming too close.

"Mr. Monkey D, I've told you to address me as Professor Boa."

"Ehh, but I prefer Hancock. Oh, you can call me Luffy."

"As always you're doing as you like without regard for others."

Hancock sighed and brought her hand down.

"What can I do for you, Luffy."

"Oh, yeah. Can you let me pass your course?"

".....Come again."

"Can you pass me?"

Luffy wore a nervous smile as he scratched the back of his head.

"You see, Gramps said I need to pass your course or he's going to kill me."
