The above four were the main characters of a certain anime.
Though the anime had many more characters, remember them all down was difficult, since I have a problem remembering someone's name. Within that anime were hundred of people and faunus. Unless the characters have 'important roles' like the heroine or the helper, remembering a character a name wasn't necessary, to me that is.
… So why was I saying all this?
"... and lead by Ruby Rose!"
It was because that anime was happening right in front of my eyes.
Called up to the stage, Ruby walked up with a stiffened face as though she was nervous.
We were in a huge auditorium suggestive of a temple. In it were a lot of students and a few professors. Their gazes all turned to one person, Ruby Rose.
"She's Ruby Rose? Wow."
"She's so young too."
"She's so cute~" (AN: Stop! She's underage you bastard!)
Several students watched with admiration and adoration.
"…This is why people say luck is all that matters. Who cares if you try hard? People like her end up getting accepted anyway."
"That girl completely lucked out this initial test."
And to my surprise, she received the jealousy and envy of several students. Well to be honest I would too, if a 15 year old girl just suddenly got accepted into this school.
The professors, who came to watch the initial test, flashed their eyes. They were looking down from the highest seats of the auditorium. However, I could hear their voices.
They had to be at least a kilometer away, but somehow as long as I looked their way, I could hear their words clearly. Not only their words, but I could also see their faces either , almost as though I was right in front of them... Well thats convenient.
I recognized two of the professor faces.
Glynda Goodwitch and the headmaster Ozpin. Two of the most important assistant of the main characters.
I knew Glynda Goodwitch's face. Surprisingly, she looked more beautiful than the one I watched on my laptop.
Without a shadow of the doubt, those two were characters from the show.
Then where was I?
I wasn't on the stage but in the farthest back of the auditorium. I wasn't 'one out of 100 students ', but a member of the 'one hundred.' No professor looked my way.
"Matthew, where's your team? I didn't see anyone besides you."
Next, to me, a boy resembling young Kevin James* asked. On his nametag were his name 'Yamada Taro'. This meant that he probably got accepted. Though I doubt that he could become a strong Huntsman because of his almost nonexistent physical abilities, but his semblance was outstanding for information gathering.
... Wait a minute, how do I know these things? And who is Matthew? Is he talking to me?"
"Matthew buddy, what happened?" (AN: He's trying to act cute...Within a Kevin James body... Ueghh)
"… I don't know."
I didn't know who I was. I didn't even know why my name was Matthew.
If something like this had to happen, shouldn't I be one of the two on stage?! (AN: Hah! As if I would let you)
"Hey, c'mon, if you don't know that…"
"I don't know, but I probably failed anyways."
"Huh? Why's that?"
"I didn't get any artifacts and didn't see any teammates."
Once again, how do I know that, I didn't know. This world was the show that I watched , but I was in the body of a character I had never seen before. Other than being a candidates in the Beacon Academy, I was the most ordinary and the most connectionless character, the type whose face got blur or his/her names wouldn't exist anywhere in the show. In other words… I was an extra.
…No, I was a speck of dust.
