Chapter One: Calm beginnings
AYYYYYYYYY NEW WRITER IN THE HOUSE! ahem….enjoy
PoV: ?
(A blackness that burns away my very being engulfs me once again and I lose meaning of everything. Desensitized and cut off from my own reality, yet I feel like I belong here all the same. This cursed place is brimming with malice, the true nature of man. And just as my will would break I awaken soak in my own sweat.)
*Drip….Drip…..Drip….*
"O-oh...that dream again"
It's not unusual at the point...I've always had the dream as long as I could remember. Yet that doesn't mean it's pleasant in the slightest, in fact it's the exact opposite. I've always hated not being immersed in a peaceful dream world.
"Crap!"
(I snap out of the meaningless thoughts and scramble to prepare for school, It's not like being late in itself would be a problem...It's the overly hyperactive first years i'm worried about)
"It'd be an annoyance if my locker gets raided"
(With these thoughts clearly in mind I skip my breakfast and finish putting on my uniform before darting out the open door)
When i'm this late...there's only one thing to do…
( Using my usual route I attempt to intercept the bus that i had intended to board. Of course I still succeed in a way)
"Come on...COME ONNNNN"
Bingo. I can hear it which means I'll make it.
(And so I do make it. I hurl myself off the overpass and land directly on the bus, for any normal person there'd be plenty of pain. However I've taken much worse growing up. Meaning that my routine would go smoothly.)
TIME SKIP: 1800 Seconds
( Just as I reach my destination the bus abruptly stops and in doing so. Tossing me off)
"Tsk….I know you've told me to stop doing that but was this seriously necessary?"
(I ask this half jokingly as I look up to the old man who I've know most my life. And in response he'd chuckle.)
"Kid. we both know that if i didn't do it there wouldn't be any satisfaction for the day"
True enough…
(I pull out my wallet and pay for the ride before entering the school grounds ignoring the visible bump on my as soon as I reach my locker.)
"It's been awhile since we've been here hasn't it...Emiya-kun"
(Immediately the Blackness engulfs me again. Even if it was only for a brief second I felt excruciating pain.)
DieDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE
(I barely manage to make it to the wall which i lean on for support)
*Pant* *Pant*
"What the hell…."
I felt like I was fading…still it doesn't seem like I caused a commotion…
(Just as I calm down the bell rings for homeroom. Meaning I'd have to race HER…)
"I can still make it!"
(I take off running, using every wall and edge possible I race to the classroom and I make it! barely….)
*CRASH!*
"Ack!"
(I'm tossed into the wall by the moving dust cloud.)
She's….
"REALLY ANNOYING. HOW DOES ONE TEACHER BE LATE SO OFTEN!"
"Now-now don't cause a fuss first thing in the morning Cj-Kun"
Oooohoho. I'm gonna say it.
(At this point the class already covers their ears)
"SHUT THE HELL UP. TIGER!"
(It's echos as if the entire school had gone silent and I realize why)
"I-I dun goofed…"
"Oh..Alright class thanks to turtle-kun you'll all be expected to turn in a 15 page essay on today's lecture."
She's glaring evilly at me...I'll be lucky to live through the lunch break
(I think this to myself as I sigh)
"You're a old woman. Show some maturity!"
(She'd stick out her tongue at me tauntingly and I had return to my seat meaning she won that round…)
TIME SKIP: 28800 Seconds
(I start to walk ignoring the murderous intent that would follow me. I'm used to being hated however I became suspicious after one presence refused to fade)
"Whoever's following me. Show yourself"
(The voice comes off as cold and threatening, most likely because the feeling of being followed kicked off some older instincts i developed from my childhood…)
This killer intent is unreal...yet it almost seems...robotic.
(My eyes scan the area around me...no normal people in site. So I kick things into high gear and start running at speed that would be impossible for an average person. But instead of the malice fading the only gets stronger and I dive side ways barely dodging a purplish projectile.)
"What … was that"
(I was expecting a arrow or kunai. This projectile is completely foreign to me, yet it's more destructive than explosive arrows and so I have to avoid even a graze.)
" Where're you! And what the hell was that"
(I reach for the first weapon in site, a broken tree branch)
Not much but…!
(I scramble to my feet and side flip to dodge the three more projectiles.)
My attacker is hesitant…
"OI COWARD SHOW YOURSELF ALREADY DAMN IT"
(I Dash at the origin points of the shots. I know that I won't lose in close quarters combat. So I leap into the bushes without thinking)
" I'LL PUMMEL Y-"
(Yup...I was leaping at a girl. And so this is where my story began)
My attacker is a girl!? It's too late! At this rate…
(I ditched the branch and tried using my hands to break my fall...baaad move. We collide so quickly all the girl could slip out was a short screech that blew out my damn ear drums)
*Squish Squish*
Well there'd only be one soft thing in the situation…
"I dun-"
(I couldn't finish my sentence as the girl had already realized what was happening herself. And so with superhuman strength, I was knocked into a tree.)
" Y-y-you pervert! I'll Definitely kill you!"
(I'd respond but i'm in shock. This girls far too shy to sound even remotely intimidating )
Yup. I'm screwed. I just grouped the girl every man in school wanted. But I may be able to negotiate my way outta this...
"O-oi girly... mind explaining what just happened?"
(I managed to catch her off guard and she was to afraid to uncover her chest to begin with… tears were welling up in her eyes)
Crap...I've made her cry...but she tried to kill me, meaning nows not the time to be nice
(I switch off my emotion and drag her deeper into the shrubbery)
"That wasn't ninja arts. So explain what that was...right now, AND explain why you tried to kill me. Or else"
I doubt homework would be a cause for something like that. Plus it may be linked to my strange dreams...
(At that moment she finally spoke)
"Cj-San…are you a mage?"
"Eh…?"
(The confusion flips my switch off. My father always warned me of mages yet I'd never think they were real. And so my response reflects my belief.)
"Are you a idiot?"
(I defer from boys at school. I was trained to only protect and perfect my life. Other people are irrelevant. And so I feel no emotion when i ask her that)
"Mana runs off you like water! There's no way your normal!"
"Mana?Never heard of it."
This situation...I have no idea what to do
"Ok...ummmmm wanna-"
(A red and black ball of mana hit me clean in the a result I keel over, Unconscious)
Ending to the first chapter! I'm trying to incorporate new characters as you can tell so personalty may be all over the place for a bit...still I believe this is good for my first story!
