Chapter One: Prologue

Huh, where am I?

I thought that as I was looking at the endless sky. How did I get here?

God why can't I remember anything!

As I was looking around trying to find something or someone that could tell me where I was and what I was doing in the middle of no where…WHAT The...

In front of my eyes was a gigantic building. In addition, from the looks of it was it perhaps a School?

Right then I also noticed that I was wearing a black school uniform!

What is the meaning of this?

My thoughts were interrupted when I suddenly saw a White haired girl behind me.

She was a head shorter than me and had a small and delicate figure. Her hair was long and white and she had golden eyes. In addition, she was wearing a uniform. However, there was something off about here. Her face felt like it was blank of any kind of emotion.

Who is she? Do I know her? I cannot remember a thing. Hundreds of questions were popping in my mind. But not a single answer. Then I decided to talk with the girl. I thought she probably knew what this place was.

"Who are you?"

"I am the student council president. My name is Kanade Tachibana" the girl replied.

The student council president, Kanade Tachibana. I repeated inside my head.

"Well my name is …..Well it's ..Ah I can't remember."

"Amnesia is quite common here. People who died in an accident often hit their head and lost their memories" the girl said it without showing any emotion what so ever"

"Amnesia, Died! ,What the hell are you talking about?" I shouted aloud shocked from her answer. That makes no sense at all!

"This is the afterlife. You died while having regrets. That's why you arrived in this world."

"No way, that's impossible," I shouted again being unable to comprehend what she just said to me.

"You are talking nonsense. If I am dead then how can I stand here and talk to you ha? Why don't you prove it? Prove it that I am dead."

"Guard Skill: Hand Sonic" She muttered that in a low tone and suddenly things like blades came out of her hands. Before I even had the chance to get shocked she dashed towards me and stabbed me in the heart! I couldn't even believe what just happened. The last thing I felt was immense pain before I lost my consciousness.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh …. I woke up screaming. I looked around and saw the girl that just stabbed me sitting next to me on a chair.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh….. I screamed again as I tried to distance myself from the girl but I suddenly fell of a bed. Just where in the world was I?

As I looked around, I noticed that I was in some kind of health room.

"Why the hell did you do that! I could have been killed!" I spoke as I started crawling backwards away from her.

"You can't die. You are already dead. I only stabbed you to prove that to you since you wouldn't believe me" the girl said that with her usual face.

"What! that's insane! There is no way that can be true." I said as I still could not accept the reality I was faced with.

"Clearly you can see that it is the truth. All you can do is accept it."

I took a moment and tried to take in everything that overwhelmed me at once. I was just stabbed and yet when I touched my wound it was gone without a trace. Could what this girl Tachibana is saying be true. Am I really dead! There has to be another logical explanation for this. There has to be…

As I was lost in thought she spoke again..

"As I told you before this is the afterlife. You are here because died while having regrets about your life. So now in this world you must overcome your lingering emotions and then you can move on and be at peace"

"Be at peace but how I don't even know what my name is, much less my regrets from my previous life"

"Don't worry, it will come back to you eventually."

As she was saying that it seemed that the school bell rang. She got up from her chair and handed me new school uniforms and told me to get changed quickly and went outside.

Not knowing what to do I took the clothes in hand and noticed that the one I was wearing was soaked in blood. I got changed and stepped outside.

I saw that she was waiting for me.

"Well what do I do now?" I asked confusingly.

"You are going to attend classes in this school" she answered with a straight face.

"What! How is that supposed to help me find salvation and move on?" I asked dumbfoundedly.

"Most of the people that come here could not enjoy their school life and so they couldn't be at peace. That's why we are going to attend class."

Well that kind of makes sense. When I was thinking that she suddenly grabbed my hand and started pulling me and muttered

"Come on we can't be late to class …"

"Oh hey wait I think… I think my last name is Otonashi but I can't remember the rest."

"Okay don't worry like I said, it will come back to you. Now let's go Otonashi"

After that she took me to class. She sat on the first seat to the left and since the seat behind her was empty, I decided to sit there.

Surprisingly even though it was my first day the home room teacher called my name and it seemed like a few other students already knew me even though I don't know any of them. That really creped me out. However, when I put aside that fact I did actually have half-bad time.

During lunch period, Tachibana explained to me about all the school rules. About how we eat lunch at the cafeteria by meal tickets, about living in the dorms etc.

Then she left me saying she had other duties to attend to. After that I headed towards the cafeteria. I was thinking about how crazy my day had been. And I also thought about Tachibana. Even though she did stab me and wasn't very talkative, she was an earnest girl.

As I was thinking that suddenly, a blue haired guy appeared in front of me. He was wearing a different uniform and had the title SSS written on his uniform. He introduced himself as Hinata. He handed me a note and told me

"Stay away from angel" before going his own way. I opened the note and it said

"Come to the principal's office if you want to know the secrets of this world."

I wondered what this was all about. I felt curious. I thought that I just might go to the principle's office anyway. I am already dead. Nothing crazier than this can possibly happen now. Right?
