[A/N]
Okay to those of you, that are probably a few, welcome to my newest entry of my fic history… yeah, so anyway welcome to yet another fic probably badly written because I'm a bad writer yeah! Anyway the reason I'm writing a fic of this serie it's because… I love this serie, yeah you read right, I love The Asterisk War, it's on my favorite anime, you could say I have a bad taste or things like that, but I just like anime… no matter how cliché it is, I don't hate any anime… well except Sword Art Online (the anime), I like the games and the light novel but the anime is… gah.
Okay now explanation of my fic, anyway… as always it will be OCxHarem, to those new to my fics… then welcome to the Harem addict, okay as I was writing, this fic will be a whole new personality for my OC, my OC… will be… weak… weak-willed, a worry brat and… whiny (maybe) and many things… if you read onto my fic and say things like "That's not how a weak or weak-willed person is, he is a [insert name of personality]" or "No a weak or weak-willed person should be more like [insert correct dialogue]" Then I apologize, as stated as before, I'm a bad writer and I still haven't quite grasped how a weak person should be, and so on... anyway you might abandon the fic halfway because of one thing or another, but still thanks for at least visiting, Thank you! Now Onto the FIC!
Disclaimer: I do not own The Asterisk War, I just own my OC.
The Weak Genestella
Prologue: This is already impossible
A certain day on spring
"…"
"~" Right now the 9 year old me is having a really bad and unnecessary worry, the day was a certain day on spring, the weather was the most beautiful in the world the petals of cherry blossom fluttered and danced in the air with each passing breeze, the me from now can't describe it with words and probably the me in the future won't, but that was not the problem here.
"What do I do? Father told me to be nice to that person, but he didn't tell me what should I do" I whispered to myself while pacing back and forth on the same place and looking at the same way, I, or rather, my family lived in a dojo, a two story house to be exact, I was currently on the dojo part, and I was looking at the direction where two sliding doors were, the view there was usually a peaceful garden, that had a little bit of a wide space for me to train on my free time, there also was a big tree which was the pride of my family, there also was a small pond where sometimes on night fireflies would gather on summer, it was the most beautiful, but today… the most important day for my family, on the edge of the dojo connecting to the garden was a person sitting and moving her head.
"
~" She also seemed to be humming, oh no… what do I do? I haven't talked to a girl in my 9 years of existence, that girl had a simple purple dress, her hair consisted of two small twin tails and a braid attached to each, her hair was… silver but had some purplish color, she was very small, the thing is that her appearance wasn't the thing troubling me but rather who she was.
"I have to make a good impression, father said I should do it, but I didn't ask mother what I should do… this is bad…" I said while pacing back and forth and still looking at the girl, I don't know where to start and how to continue this!
"Ah!" Then suddenly the girl exclaimed and I stopped in the middle looking at the girl, "A butterfly!" The girl exclaimed and then I saw that there was indeed a butterfly, ah then it's really true that girls like butterflies, rainbows and ponies!
"Maybe this is my chance?" I said while looking at the girl that stood up and put her feet on the garden to chase the butterfly, I have to do this… for my family! I then started to walk towards the garden, it's okay… it's okay I'm dressed right, I have an orange shirt and black shorts so it's okay, then suddenly "Ah..." The girl fell, she fell while trying to catch the butterfly.
"Uh… *hic*" Oh no! She will start crying, I then started to run towards the garden, I jumped on the high floor or hedge of the dojo and landed right next to the girl.
"Don't cry, here come on take my hand" I said while smiling at her, she lifted her head and looked at me with teary eyes, her grey eyes meeting my blue eyes, she then started to sob more, "Oh… eh… come on, I'm no one scary, I just want to help you come on!" I said while smiling, still… I feel awkward talking to a girl.
"*nod*" She just nodded and took my hand while still sobbing, then I held her hand and helped her stand up, she still had some tears welling up on her eyes, so I quickly looked in my pockets, where is it? Where is it? Ah!
"Here, let me wipe your tears" I said while taking my handkerchief out, I then gently started to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here don't worry" I said while smiling, I didn't know what else to say I just… couldn't find any correct words.
"T-Thank you" She said in a small voice, I then smiled a bit more, finally I'm getting somewhere… now what can we do? Ah!
"Hey, do you want to see our pond?"
"Pond?"
"Yeah, come on, it's this way" I said while still holding her hand and leading her to the pond, when we arrived I then knelt in front of it, "Look! We can see our reflection! Haha, watch! Biiiii!" I said and then I made a funny face on the pond and I saw my own reflection, haha I… pfft… look so stupid.
"Haha, it's funny!" She said while laughing and smiling, yes! Finally I made her smile!
"You try too!" I said to the girl and she then smiled widely.
"Can I?"
"Yeah!" I said while nodding, then she smiled widely and pulled her cheeks while facing the pond.
"Pfft… HAHAHA, W-What is that?" I asked while holding my laughter and then she looked at me and she also laughed, "Are you hurt anymore?" I asked her while petting her head.
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore" She said while smiling, then I smiled really widely and stood up.
"Then let's chase some butterflies!" I said while pumping my little fists into the sky.
"Eh? Okay!" She said and then I held out my hand to her and started to walk on our garden, then I saw a butterfly.
"There! Look, it's beautiful?"
"Yeah, it is!" She said while looking at the butterfly thoroughly, then I held her hand tighter.
"Then let's catch it!" I said while smiling, I was about to run off to catch it, but she just hanged her head.
"B-But… I might fall again…" She said while holding her lower part of the dress tighter, I then patted her head.
"I won't let you fall again, I'm right here for you! I definitely DEFINITELY won't let go of your hand so come on!" I said while smiling and then she looked at me strangely and nodded while smiling, "Okay! Now prepare yourself butterfly! We will catch you!" I said while running after the butterfly.
"Ah! The butterfly flew away!" She said while pointing at the butterfly that was now flying towards the blue sky, EHHH?! And after I said all that.
"Sorry…"
"Eh?"
"We couldn't catch the butterfly" I said while slumping a little bit, hagh… that was definitely my chance of a first impression… but it seems that my life will be hard no matter what I do.
"D-Don't worry, it's not my favorite thing in the world after all!" She said while smiling a bit warmly at me.
"Eh? Then do you mind telling me what do you like?" I asked her while looking at her.
"Hm… let's see… I like folding paper cranes, what else? What else? Ah! I love my father very much!" The girl said while smiling really widely, so she really loves her father… huh?
"Folding paper cranes?"
"Yeah, because that is our family style!" She said while smiling, ah! Then no wonder her family and mine are close.
"Whoa! You definitely have to teach me to fold paper cranes! It sounds interesting!" I told her while smiling, I really want to try many things… father said one of our family should also be master of many things.
"Of course! Then how about I teach you now… well… first of all you have to—"
"You two" The girl was about to tell me how to fold a paper cranes, when suddenly my mother came out from a room further from our dojo, she looked very happy so that means the meeting went well! "Come here!" She told us while smiling at us and waving her hand at us for us to go to her.
"Ah! Mother! Let's go!" I told the girl, then she nodded and I grabbed her hand once again and I walked towards my mother and I climbed first the elevated part and then I helped the girl up, "What is the matter mother?" I asked mother.
"We just need you two, for the finish" My mother said while smiling and then she went inside the room, I looked at the girl and let go of her hand.
"Let's go" I said to her and she nodded, then we entered the room and found…
"Father!" She said really happy, there in the room were 4 people, my father, my mother, and their close friend, that seemed to be the family of the girl, they were sitting opposite of another a table between them.
"Okay, okay calm down, haha… just sit there with the young boy okay?" Her father said in a kind voice, she then nodded and she sat at the edge of the table.
"Come on, you too" Father said to me and I nodded and then I sat beside the girl she smiled at me and I smiled at her.
"Oh, Yoshitane my good friend, you have done too much to me, how can I ever repay you?" The Girl's Father said while smiling warmly at my friend.
"Seijirou, I already said that's enough… remember that as the chairman of the Otani clan I have to put friendship above all else, and this is what I'm doing, I always help you no matter what… not because I want something back or some ulterior motive, you are my greatest friend"
"But…"
"Enough… anyway, what is it that you wanted to propose bringing our kids here?" My Father said and then her Father smiled.
"The union of both our clans"
"What? Then that would mean-! Are you absolutely sure about this Seijirou?" My father asked in a surprised tone, I wonder what they are talking about?
"Yeah, this is my way of saying that our friendship shall be eternal Yoshitane" Her Father said while smiling at him, "Our clans have been the best of friends since the War Period… and I want to be the one to make our long-lasting friendship become definitive"
"Hm… then… let's hear it from you"
"Okay…" Then her father coughed and changed to a serious expression, "I, Seijirou Toudou, chairman of the Toudou clan hereby suggest a permanent friendship and alliance with you, Yoshitane Otani, chairman of the Otani clan, by marrying my only daughter to your only son" The man now known as, Seijirou-san said while looking at my father.
"Hm…" Then father looked at me, "What do you say Kazuki?" He asked me.
"Eh? But… what does that mean?"
"It means that the two of you will be proof of our everlasting friendship, both of you will live together and things like that" My father said to me while looking at me seriously.
"I accept… but… I would like to ask her opinion first and well… if she doesn't want to then it's a no" I said while looking at the girl, "Sorry for putting this to you, but hm… do you accept whatever they are saying?" I asked the girl.
"Kirin…" Seijirou-san said while smiling the girl looked at him, "I'm not forcing you to do this, if you don't want to spend the days with Kazuki-kun here, then you can choose not to"
"Eh? But…" The girl said then she tilted her head, "I accept, I mean we can play and it will be tons of fun and I will be helping the family right?" The girl asked and then the five of us smiled and Seijirou-san nodded.
"Then it's decided, you two…" Seijirou-san said and then he reached his pockets just to get to boxes out.
"Hey Hey, don't tell me you already saw this coming Seijirou?" My father said while Seijirou-san just chuckled, "You damn schemer… always two steps ahead of me"
"Kazuki-kun, Kirin here these are for you" Seijirou-san said and then we both opened our boxes… both of them had a ring inside, but each with different design… mine had a small paper crane, I looked to my side and looked at the one the girl had, it had the symbol of the family… a small crane, "These will symbolize the union between the two families, now to seal of this deal introduce yourself to the other one"
""Y-Yes!"" We both said in a loud voice, and then we both faced each other.
"Eh… Kazuki Otani, only son of Yoshitane Otani, chairman of the Otani clan, nice to meet you!" I said while smiling at her.
"N-Nice to meet you, my name is Kirin Toudou, only daughter of Seijirou Toudou, chairman of the Toudou clan, please be nice to me from now on" She said while smiling and then we both smiled.
"That decides it, both are engaged one to another, haha now you can't escape me Yoshitane!" Seijirou-san said while smiling at my dad.
"Heh, then it seems I just can't escape you… haha, you damn Seijirou, I hope we both have a nice future" My father said while smiling and we all laughed because of our newly founded union.
At that time… I didn't know, what everything was about… I didn't know what it means to be engaged… to have a fiancé… but now… now…
(A year later)
"Kazuki! Come on! Swing that sword faster! Come on!" My father shouted while I started to swing my wooden sword faster, my father has changed after something strange happened… I don't know what happened, but he changed… and no one is coming to our dojo anymore.
"Wh-?! Ahhh!" I said while I slipped, I fell on my butt first into the floor.
"Stand up Kazuki! Come on! Start from the top!" My father shouted, the kind face he had when I was younger was no more, replaced it looked like he was stressed… but then again at the time I couldn't understand.
.
.
.
"Come on, Kazuki! Punch harder!"
"B-But mother…"
"But! Nothing! Come on!" This… also happened to mother… I don't know what happened to both of them, we also were on the dojo, my father was watching and my mother was teaching me hand-to-hand combat.
"Ah!" I then stepped wrong and fell on my butt again.
"Stand up!"
"O-Okay!" I said while standing up faster and then I started to do our family style but then at the part where I had to kick my mother I moved my leg lighter than before.
"Ah!" This caused that I stumbled and I fell on the floor.
"Ow…" I said because I twisted my right foot, "Ow… Ow…"
"Kazuki?"
"S-Sorry, mother… I can cont—ugh!" I said while trying to stand up, but I couldn't, my foot hurt a lot, "T-This is nothing…"
"…Sorry… Kazuki… it's because… we are pressured because of the current Genestella rise…" My mother said while hanging her head, Genestella… these new kind of people, an event that happened some years ago caused people to possess abilities like magicians or wizards or witches, also they augmented one's strength and resistance well everything, there was a city specifically for those people, from what I heard there was also 6 or 7 schools there, and currently there was a rise on the Genestella… probably causing my dojo to be abandoned, "Today's training is over…"
"Eh? But… I ca—"
"Kazuki…" My father said while his hair covered his face, "Please listen to your mother" My father said then I looked at both of them and they were hanging their heads.
"*nod*" I just nodded and I wobbled to my room on the second floor, since it was already night I felt very tired and fell asleep immediately.
The next day I woke up earlier than usual, and then I thought of what happened yesterday, Training has been getting harder… I can't keep up, I keep getting bruises here and there but… still… have I shamed my family? Have I disrespected my family? While these thoughts swirled on my mind, I grabbed the bandage I had on my room and started to bandage my own foot, "I can't just… stay like this… I have to train, for mother and father" I said while getting serious… I then made my way out of my room towards the dojo, I couldn't hear anything… not even the sound of my mother making breakfast.
"Ah…" That's when I arrived to the dojo, "Ah…" What awaited me was something… so horrible… something so full of despair… "Ah…" On the center of the dojo… "Ah…" Were my mother… and father… both knelt and holding hands… but the things is… there was a sword on both their chests, my parents… committed seppuku.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I cried and I knelt on the floor while crying uncontrollably, I couldn't stop the tears, I couldn't stop my shaking, I couldn't stop anything… I failed them… I failed my parents… I… I… I couldn't prove them what I could do, I wanted… them to see… I… I… that's when a strange light surrounded my body, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I couldn't even feel it… was it painful? Was it enjoyable? I couldn't even think of these… I just… couldn't even think.
"Hey! We arri-! EH? Yoshitane! Akemi!" A voice I haven't heard in a long time was heard…
"What is it dear? *gasp* Yoshitane! Akemi!" A female voice was heard, this one was also one I haven't heard in a long time, "! Kazuki! What's happening?!" I then heard the female voice get closer to me.
"Kazuki! Snap out of it!" I also heard the male voice get closer to me, but I couldn't do a single thing… I was broken… I was… I'm broken… nothing… I'm a failure…
"Kazuki, please come to your senses!" The female voice said while getting closer to me, then I felt a warmth… a warm feeling on my cheek… this… I remember this.
"Ah…" I then felt light headed, then I fainted and I also saw the light surrounding me disappear.
""Kazuki!"" Both the voices said while catching me, I then looked at them and I muttered their names.
"Kimiko-baachan, Hiroyuki-jiichan" I muttered to my grandparents before fainting.
(Present)
"Ah!" I then woke up… I woke up in my usual Japanese room, I looked at the ceiling above me, and couldn't help but think of the dream I had… the memories that marked my life were there, the death of my parents… their wasted death because of their failure of a son, after that we buried them on the graveyard… and went home, my grandpa and grandma started to live with me, they took care of me and raised me like their own son.
"They didn't have to do this…" I whispered to myself then I stood up from my futon and started to fold it and put it inside my closet, I then took out my clothes for the day, and finally I put my pendant and on the front of the pendant was a ring… a ring with a paper crane, "I wonder… where is she?" I whispered, after my parents death to top everything to me… surprisingly the Toudou clan cut ties with us, there wasn't even a word… they just sent a card with that written on it, and now because of my father's death, grandpa had to take once again the position of chairman, and started to train me but… it seems he stills thinks I'm not good enough because I have not trained any special skills or the like.
"I get him, they just are… bad on me" I said while walking towards the bathroom so I could wash my face, "I guess today I will help grandma" I said while entering the bathroom, I then started to wash my teeth and my face, then I looked at my own reflection, Kazuki Otani, currently 16 years old, black messy hair and blue eyes, I guess if I had to say something about my physique then it would be that I'm really tall and I have and average built, there is nothing special about me… just that I'm a Genestella now.
"But that doesn't mean… anything while I'm this bad…" I then started to go towards the kitchen and I opened the door just to find an elderly woman in her middle 50s her white hair was still curly just like how she told me how she was when she was younger, "Kimiko-obaasama, I'm here to help" I said while smiling at her, she then turned around and smiled at me.
"Oh, don't worry Kazuki, just sit down and wait for your Granpa so that you can eat together" Kimiko-obaasama said while waving her hand, she is really kind and respectful, though… she is scary when grandpa does something she doesn't like…
"But…"
"Come on, just sit down" Kimiko-obaasama said while smiling at me, then I gave up and sat on the table and waited for grandpa.
"Where is Hiroyuki-ojiisama?"
"Ah! It seems he wanted to get you something so he woke up earlier than usual, he said he would come back any time now" Kimiko-obaasama said then she grabbed a knife and started to cut a radish really strongly, "I just hope he is not at the hostess bar again, Ohoho~"
"Y-Yeah" I said while sweat dropping, I wanted to ask what a hostess bar is but couldn't find any courage, "Ah! Are you cooking miso soup?" I asked grandma.
"Yes, since your grandpa just said to cook a feast, it seems this something is something so amazing that it needs a feast" Kimiko-obaasama said while twirling the soup on the pot, still… is it really alright for me to have that something? Someone like me?
"I have arrived!" A male voice was heard and then the sliding door opened and from it an elderly man was seen he was in his middle 50s he had short white hair and accompanied with that was a white beard, if someone saw his smile they would instantly get his personality… he was very laid back.
"Ah! Welcome back dear!"
"Welcome back, Hiroyuki-ojiisama!" I said while smiling then he looked at both of us and smiled, then he entered the room.
"Haha, oh! It smells like miso soup, our favorite right Kazuki?" Grandpa asked me and then I smiled and nodded, but more importantly, I then glanced at what was next to him when he sat down, "Oh? This? I'll tell you after breakfast!" Grandpa smiled and then Grandma came with our plates.
"Sorry for the wait! Here is our breakfast!" Grandma said while putting our plates in the table.
"Oh! Finally Kimiko!"
"Thanks for the food!" I said while clasping my hands together and then I grabbed my chopsticks and started to eat my breakfast.
"And remember Kazuki! Otani Family Code #41: "Always finish your food, no matter how bad it is!"" Grandpa said while smiling, I just looked at him and nodded.
"Are you trying to say something, dear?" Grandma said while shaking and while smiling, but that smile wasn't one of warmth… it was like of a demon.
"W-W-W-W-What?! N-No! Kimiko, I love you and your food!" Granpa said while shaking and eating his food at a breathtaking speed.
"Then that's good" Grandma said while smiling normally again, and then we all proceeded to have our breakfast.
(Time Skip)
"Ah, that was good as always!" Grandpa said while smiling and rubbing his stomach, I also rubbed my stomach and drank a bit of tea to calm my stomachache.
"Dear, remember that thing you wanted to give to Kazuki?" Grandma said while looking at Grandpa, then he looked at her and then at me and then he realized it.
"Ah! That's right!" Grandpa said while smiling, then he accommodated his posture and looked at me seriously, "Kazuki… how are your School days going?"
"Eh…? Well, I think they are quite enjoyable" I said while scratching the back of my head.
"Even though they beat you?"
"… They… didn't exactly..."
"But they punched you and kicked you!" Grandma said in a worried tone, I remember ever since that day I have been punched, kicked, thrown by a lot of people.
"They… just want to test how strong a Genestella is… they aren't at fault"
"But… Kazuki!"
"Kimiko, stop it" Grandpa said while looking at me seriously, "Do you know why I'm asking, Kazuki?"
"No…"
"Well… grandpa got you an opportunity!" Grandpa said while smiling, I then looked at him puzzled, "Look at this!" Then he got a paper out of his pocket and put it on the table.
"Hm?" I then looked at the paper on the table, ""Seidoukan Academy?"" I said the name of the academy out loud and looked at the image of the Academy on the paper, it looked so modern… and this modern only meant one thing, "Asterisk?"
"Yeah! What do you think?" Grandpa asked while crossing his arms and looking at me, then I looked at the paper and then at Grandpa again.
"But… isn't Asterisk a place where the schools are for combat?" I asked grandpa to which he nodded, "Then… why?"
"Well, Kazuki… you are a Genestella… I'm not telling you you have to go by force, it's just… that I want you to find something there" Grandpa said while smiling at me.
"Something?"
"Yeah"
"What?"
"Whatever you want"
"Eh?" I tilted my head to my side, I didn't want to ask anything else, I just knew Grandpa meant something really big, "But still… I don't think… I can survive there…" I said while looking at the floor and scratching the back of my head.
"You can… I can assure you that" Grandpa said while smiling at me, I then gripped at my shorts and started to think, I could go… but… there are many people that like to fight, and they are way stronger than me… I just can't… but… I want to find that something grandpa is saying, "So do you want to go?"
"I… don't know" I said while looking down, as a Genestella it seems like my duty that I have to go… but on the other hand… I'm… scared, what will be of me? What if I don't find that something? What if I'm killed? What if I'm expelled from the Academy because of my grades? A lot of What ifs…? Appeared on my head.
"You know…" Grandpa suddenly started to talk and I raised my head at him, and he smiled, "THAT person might be there"
"!" I then widened my eyes and then shook my head, "I… don't care about that anymore, she probably is living well with you know a man her age" I said while looking at the floor again.
"Then why are you wearing that pendant with the ring hanging on it?" Grandpa asked and I grabbed my shirt's neck, from it I could feel the pendant.
"But what if she is not there?"
"I don't know"
"Eh?"
"Isn't it better to go and see for yourself?" Grandpa said while looking at me seriously, I then started to think… but what if I do see her? What will I say to her? How will she react? I then remembered something…
"… I'll go" I said while looking at grandpa seriously, he then smiled and handed me the box, "These are…?" I said then I opened the box and I saw 3 pairs of uniform, white uniforms, a shirt with black color invading all of the white on the margin where the black ended was a stripe that looked very scientific, it kinda glowed green, then there was a jacket that was very white and the lapel was red, and finally the pants were black, but at the bottom of the box was something, I grabbed it and looked at it thoroughly, "A pin?"
"That's your student badge it's proof that you are a student at Asterisk, more specifically Seidokan Academy" Grandpa said while smiling, "Then it's decided, Kimiko! Pack Kazuki some of his usual clothes!" Grandpa said to grandma who was looking worriedly at us this whole conversation, but then that changed to a smile.
"Yes, I shall pack him the most cool clothes" Grandma said while smiling and then she left the room, I felt a bit embarrassed because of grandma just packing me "cool" clothes, that is if I do have any, and then when Grandma left the kitchen Grandpa looked around.
"Also Kazuki, remember to talk to girls the most, Otani Family Code #23: "One shall always try to impress the girls!" Ouch!" Grandpa said and then when he finished suddenly a ladle landed on his head, "What the-?"
"Grandma is upstairs…"
"Then how did she?" Grandpa said then he looked around franticly and then he put on a scared face, "Let's get out of here Kazuki!" Grandpa said while standing up and running away.
"Yeah" I said while running after Grandpa, while leaving the kitchen I could swear I heard a laugh.
(Next Day)
(Scene Change)
Asterisk
Right now I had my uniform on and I was looking at the map while walking around Asterisk, early this morning, Grandpa and Grandma sent me off, I took a train to get here, and then I got here and was lost after some hologram thingy told me where to go.
"T-This place is scary" I said while walking and looking around me, this… Asterisk was very advanced in technology, they had holograms, and this… futuristic kinda looking buildings, "Ah! I arrived" I said while looking at the school gates of the Academy, "Now to change to the Academy map" I said while getting another piece of paper out of my pocket, "Okay… I need to… meet a Claudia Enfield at the entrance of the Highschool building" I said then I proceeded to walk towards the academy.
"Eh?!" I then looked at the map… and it was very big! It was about the size of a city, there were many things, there was a boys dormitory, a girls dormitory, 3 dining halls, the middle school building, the highschool building and then the College building, for the free areas, there were very spacious places, there was a little forest and then there was a fountain plaza, we also had a stadium, "This place… is it alright for me to be here?" I said while looking at the map… "Well, I just hope that place is the highschool building" I said while looking at the immense building in front of me, uwah… I suddenly feel nervous.
"Hey! Start respecting me I said!" I heard a male voice shout at my right, on an open field there was a crowd… should I go… or should I not? Uuu… I'm going.
"S-S-Sorry, I didn't mean to crash into you" Another male voice was heard I then got closer to the crowd and I saw what was happening, a guy with blonde hair and a ponytail was yelling at a guy with green hair and glasses.
"Don't give me that! You definitely had that intention!"
"I-I-I didn't!"
"If you won't admit it, then I think I will make you!" The blonde guy said and then I rushed to them and stood in between, "Who are you?!"
"W-Wait! You can't just bully him! He probably didn't mean to just crash into you" I said to the blonde guy and then he got an angry expression at me, I then flinched a little bit, t-this guy is kinda scaring me.
"So, you choose to defend this guy?"
"Y-Yeah, I mean you could also be at fault here… because I don't know… maybe you didn't saw him?"
"Now… you tell me it's my fault?"
"Yeah?"
"How dare you say that?!"
"Eh?"
"I will make you pay for that, heh" Then he smiled and looked at me from head to toe, "I challenge you to a duel!" He said while pointing his finger at me.
"Ehhh?! How did it come to this?"
"Tell me your name!"
"What?!"
"Your name!"
"K-Kazuki Otani… sir" I said while looking at him, then I looked behind me and the glasses guy ran away, "W-W-Why did he run away?" Then I looked that there was a crowd.
"Oh… a newbie challenging one that is in the named charts, that is guts"
"Yeah, but he is challenging the one at the bottom so it probably won't be so difficult" Some people from the crowd said and I couldn't understand what they said, just something about some charts.
"I" The blonde guy started and then I looked at him and he was serious, "I, Takaru Kagumi hereby challenge you, Kazuki Otani, to a duel" Takaru-san said then to my surprise his school badge shone and emitted a light beam that was directed at me.
"Waahh!" I cried and tried to cover my face, then I waited and… "Nothing…eh?" I then saw that there was indeed a light beam on my chest… or rather my badge.
"Hurry up and accept before I declare myself the winner here" Takaru-san said, but isn't that the best outcome for me… but I promised grandpa I would take this seriously.
"B-But I don't have a weapon, so—"
"Someone lend him a weapon!" Takaru-san said and I felt my world collapse, ah… my only way of escape is gone… ah… my life.
"Here, catch!" I heard someone said and then I looked behind me and I saw something flying my way.
"Eh? What's this?" I then saw what I caught, it looked like the grip of a sword but with no blade, it felt very mechanical like.
"That's a lux, now activate it and then accept, now!" Takaru-san said then I looked at the "lux", then at Takaru-san and then at the crowd, oh no… I see someone recording something… no… ugh… my stomach.
"Ugh…" I then held my stomach and then started to touch everything on the "lux" but nothing came out, "Eh? How do you start this?" I asked then I saw Takaru-san looking very annoyed.
"Just accept the duel then" Takaru-san yelled at me, then I flinched, oh no… just what did I do? I just wanted to defend someone and now I angered someone important it seems, I should accept this duel… and well, let him beat me up, that will calm his anger… but still… I then shook my head, no this is just to calm him down, but how does one accept a duel? Well, when he challenged me he said I, his name, challenge you, my name, to a duel, so maybe…?
"I… Kazuki Otani, accept your duel?" I said, "WHOA!" Then from the ground there were two panels forming, Wha-? But… it's grass… how can it-? Then from that there surged two other panels, one coming my way and other going his way, "Ahhh!" I said while again shielding me from the thingy, but it just passed me through.
"Hmph… no ranker" Takaru-san growled, then I saw what was on the panel behind him, Seidoukan Academy 1-E Rank 72, Takaru Kagumi, what kind of technology is this?!
"!" Then I realized something I looked behind me and it read, Seidoukan Academy 1-A No Rank, Kazuki Otani, "So… I'm in class 1-A?"
"START OF COUNTDOWN"
"Wah!" A robotic voice snapped out of my thoughts and I looked at my front again and I saw another hologram thing, this one had the number 3 on, damn… the countdown is making me nervous.
"3" Takaru-san then got something out of his pockets, which I forgot to mention were really wide, and then he activated something and from that a spear was formed he then grabbed it with his right hand and grabbed the area near the tip while putting the other part behind him.
"2" Whoa that was kinda cool, but I can't do it right? I then started to press everything on this "lux" but to no avail.
"1" I'm doomed.
"Start of the duel"
[RANK 72- Takaru Kagumi vs NO RANK- Kazuki Otani]
"I'll finish this fast" Takaru-san said while charging at me with his spear, I then got ready for what was coming, "Got you!" He shouted and then pointed his spear at me, or rather my chest, isn't this insta-death?!
"Whoa!" I said while back stepping a little, he then smiled and he twisted his hand upwards… meaning, "Ugh…" The rear end of the spear hit me in the jaw and I was sent flying back, "T-That hurt… ugh" I said while trying to stand up then I saw he was in front of my swinging again the rear end of the spear at my body, I raised my arms forming an X to reduce the damage, "Gah…" I then was sent flying behind again.
"Heh… this is so easy" Takaru-san said, then I heard him walking slowly towards me, kuh… he is using the tip of the spear as a decoy, his real weapon is the rear end of the spear, I can't really do a thing right? Just… let him bent his anger… he is using something tonfa-like… hm… maybe… maybe… "This is over" He said while above me he then raised his spear and was about to pierce me.
"!"
"Wh—Ugh!" I stood up just in time when he was about to pierce me and I hit him.
"Otani Hand-to-Hand combat technique… open palm" I said while putting my hand in front of me, what I did is… when he was about pierce me, I raised my upper body and with the spear stuck on the ground I hit him with the open palm so that I could get his air out of his lungs, why… am I?
"Kuh… Y-You… You bastard" Takaru-san said while using the spear as a way to support himself, I then waited until he got ready again.
"Hm…" I then started to shake… Ah… this is so nerve wracking, there are people watching me, then I'm facing someone who is 72 of something… what… am I going to do?
"Phew, okay… now it's payback!" Takaru-san said and then he charged at me, okay… Kazuki your options are limited… he is probably going to use that same attack from the start… or maybe another attack… how can I-? "Kneel, you weakling!"
"!" He shouted that, and I instantly snapped out of something… that's right… I'm a weakling… I just can't win against the strong… I'm not prepared for something like that, I'm still…
"It's over!" He then pointed the spear at my chest and…
"I'm still weak…" I said before I felt a pain in my chest…
"END OF DUEL! WINNER: Takaru Kagumi!" And so on the center again there was another hologram and this had the picture of Takaru and the word Winner, that's right… I don't mind this… I just came here to find her.
"Hmph… that should have shown your place, you weakling" He then proceeded to walk away while not looking back, and then also the crowd started to disappear, I just stood there… "lux" on my left hand and my face looking at the ground.
"*sigh*" I sighed, this isn't different… this is just… something… natural… this is what the weaklings need to do, to just lose to the strong but, I then pulled the neck of my shirt and from under my shirt I got something out, it was the pendant with the ring, "It hurts…" I said while looking at the ring, I then started to shake… I bit my lower lip and resisted the urge to cry, why? Why does it hurt so much?!
"Ara… this is where you were?" I heard a feminine voice behind me say, I then wiped my eyes and hid again my pendant, then I looked behind me, I saw a beautiful girl, a girl with long and wavy blonde hair there were also splits at the crown of her head, she had purple eyes, she wore the Seidoukan Academy Girl's Uniform… well kinda, she wore the jacket but a frilly blouse was instead of the usual shirt or blouse for girls… she also wore a frilly skirt and paired with that black boots and it seems… some lace connecting from her black stockings to her hm… panties? And well… if it isn't rude to describe… she had… really… big breasts.
"Eh? Yeah… but who are you?" I said while looking at her from head to toe, is she a rich girl?
"Who do you think I am?"
"Eh? Well… a girl… who will show me where I'm supposed to be?" I asked her and then she smiled warmly to me.
"Where are you supposed to go?"
"To meet someone named Claudia Enfield" I said while scratching the back of my head, then she still smiled and looked at me.
"Then I shall take you to her" She said while smiling then she proceeded to walk towards the stairs probably leading to a building, "Let's go"
"Y-Yeah!" I said while hurrying up and catching up to her, we now where walking side by side but I minded our distance, because there is no telling she might have a boyfriend or admirers or the whole school, there is also that, she doesn't want to be seen walking with someone like me.
"So are you a new student here?" The girl said while still walking towards the building.
"Ah! Y-Yeah, my name is Kazuki Otani, nice to meet you…?" I said while trying to more info about this girl.
"I'm a close friend of Claudia"
"Oh! That's great" I said while scratching the back of my head, then we finally entered the building, "Ooooh!" I said in awe, the design of this school was very technological indeed, this design was very modern… and very white…
"Fufu" Then the girl beside me laughed suddenly, I then snapped out of it.
"Ahaha, sorry" I said while scratching the back of my head and smiling, we then started to go towards the stairs and started to climb towards the top floor apparently.
"Her office is on the far end of the top floor, so let's go" The girl said with a smile in her face, "You are very easily surprised, fufu" She laughed again and I felt embarrassed again.
"Sorry, I just… haven't been in a place this technological" I said while scratching the back of my head, is this Claudia a third year? I must be very polite then.
"Then…" The girl said then she did a motion like throwing something up very gently.
"OOOOOOH!" I said in awe, the motion she did made a screen appear, then she did the opposite motion, like throwing something down gently, and the screen disappeared.
"How was that?"
"That was cool! How did you do that?"
"Oh… hehe, just a secret" She said while smiling then I smiled and tried that motion, but to no avail… ah… this is sad, I wanted a technological screen in front of me, then when I was thinking of sighing, "We already arrived to her office" She said and we were in front of a door that was made of steel and on the side of the door there was a panel she did something to the panel and it showed Accept and the doors were opened, "How was that?"
"Not that impressive, I have seen these at the convenience store" I said while smiling, "But still thank you"
"No worries" And then we both entered the office, at first it was very dark, then somehow there was light and it revealed the office, it really looked very classy it had a red carpet, there was a depiction of the school grounds on the wall, on front of the large window was a conference desk with a comfy chair, on the side there were some sofas and between those sofas was a coffee table, but there was one problem…
"Huh? Is she out?" I asked while looking around… there was not a single person in the room aside from the girl and me, then I looked at the girl and she sat at the chair behind the desk.
"Okay, nice to meet you Kazuki Otani, my name is Claudia Enfield, student council of Seidoukan Academy" Eh? "Representing the Academy, I welcome you… to Asterisk"
"Wait… then you are?"
"Yes, I am Claudia, ah! Please call me that, since we are of the same age and year" Claudia said while still smiling, I then looked at her, EHHH?! She is my age? But… t-that body.
"Ugh… I'm tricked again" I said while slumping to the ground, then I heard Claudia chuckle.
"Sorry, you seemed so innocent and trustful I had to play with you, sorry" Claudia said while clasping her hand together and smiling.
"N-No worries, anyway… what do I need to do? Or what do you need to give me?" I said while scratching the back of my head.
"Oh, that's right!" Claudia said and then she started to type something on her desk, eh? You can type on desks now? This place is kinda cool, "Please stand over there" Claudia said signaling me to the side, "And face that way" She pointed the other way.
"Okay" I did as commanded, "What is this for?"
"Oh, for your photo for your student ID and the photo we will use in the holograms when you win or are in a match" Claudia said suddenly, "Smile"
"Eh?!" I said surprised then I faced the way she directed me and smiled, then I heard a click.
"Fufufu, this will be indeed interesting" Claudia laughed and then I kinda got curious and looked at her, "Please don't move while the student ID, the student Handbook and your new badge finishes, I will analyze your abilities"
"Y-Yes" I then did as I said before, and then a cube suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started to emit some waves, one was going up and down, another was going left and right.
"There, finished" Claudia said and then she looked at me and then at the screen, "I think I got why you couldn't activate your lux" Claudia said while looking at the lux on my right.
"Eh? Really? Why?"
"You… have the smallest amount of Prana one can have" Claudia said while looking at me, eh?
"Prana?"
"Yeah, that is the energy Genestella use to activate their weapons… like that you have there, that is a lux, something that has a meteorite called Manadite embed, and well… it uses Mana to activate it"
"M-Mana?"
"It's the something that made the Genestella what they are, we have a certain amount on our body, but… it seems yours is the smallest amount I have seen" Claudia said while looking at the screen very serious, damn… even as a Genestella I am weak?
"…" Then does that mean I'm going to be fighting hand to hand against other people? Damn.
"…Fuh, Done" Claudia said while pressing a button, then she stood up and went towards a closet and she opened it, "Ah! I forgot to ask, what is your weapon of choice Otani-san?"
"Katana"
"Katana model, eh? Hm… ah! it's here" Claudia said and from the closet she took something and that was, "Here! Now you can participate in any duel" She handed me a katana and it's sheath.
"Oh…" I said while grabbing the katana, the sheath had a black pattern, and then I unsheathed the katana and it was like any normal katana, the black pattern at the safe side of the katana and the blade was clean grey, it was very simple… yet so beautiful.
"You seem to like it, how nice" Claudia said I then looked at her and she was smiling I then got embarrassed and scratched the back of my head, "Now also here" She said while handing me a book, "For you to increase your Prana and Mana" She said while smiling.
"Ah… thank you!" I said while smiling, I then looked at the book and it indeed said ways to increase one's prana and Mana.
"And finally here" Claudia said while handing me three things… one was some kind of card, "Look at it" She said then I looked at the card and now I wish I hadn't, on the card was my name, my class, and there was a big blank space, but at the side of that, a really big space, was my picture that was taken just some moments ago, and I was smiling really awkwardly, "You look really cool, fufu" Claudia laughed, then the second item was some kind of touchscreen cellphone, I inspected it and it was all blue, I then looked at her and she did the motion of throwing something up gently, I then did as her and…
"Wooo!" I said because a screen came out of nowhere, and it was kinda like a menu of some sort.
"That's your student Handbook you can do anything with it, you can find anyone's info, fighting skills there, why don't you search your name?" Claudia said while smiling, I then did as told and I touched an option that said Students, then there were two options… named charts or search, I selected Search and I typed my name, then my name and photo appeared on the screen, it read Kazuki Otani, Height: 175 cm Weigh: 68 kg Number of matches: 1 Won: 0 Lost: 1, Weapons used: Basic Katana model, and there was a video already of my beatdown, "Just in case… the girls have the 3 sizes info" Claudia said while smiling warmly, eh?
"W-Why?"
"I don't know… want to look?"
"No!"
"Haha, how unfortunate" Claudia said while smiling, just what do you mean by that? "Also… with the student handbook you can call, send messages and things like that, you can request duels… or you can ask a girl on a date" Claudia said while smiling warmly… She is… strange, and finally the third item was… a school badge.
"But I already have mine" I said to Claudia to which she shook her head.
"Look at your chest" I then did as told and I saw my school badge broken.
"Wha-?! Why?"
"In Asterisk, there are two ways to win a match" Claudia started to say, "One, is to defeat your opponent put them in a state where they can no longer fight" That… sounds kinda cruel… "The second one, is to break their school badge, that is also the reason you lost" Claudia said to me, "Whenever you have your badge broken please come to me so that I can give you a new badge okay?"
"Yes, thank you Claudia-san"
"Claudia"
"That's what I said"
"Without the –san"
"O-Okay, C-C-Claudia"
"Hehe, that's better, anyway that shall be all and also" The two of us then stood up and she smiled at me, "In name of the school, we hope you represent us at the Festa and win"
"Festa?"
"I'm very sorry, I would like to answer your questions but I have an appointment, so I would kindly ask you to go back your classroom, class has already started" Claudia said while bowing and with that I made my way out of her office.
"Thank you Claudia, see you later!" I said while bowing and smiling.
"Yeah, later Otani-san" Claudia said while smiling one last time to me, I then stepped out of her office and remembered something…
"Where is my classroom?"
(Time Skip)
"Then here is our transferred student, Kazuki Otani, get along with everyone" The teacher said really monotone, it seemed like she didn't care… but she did… right? Right? The teacher was my height, a glare like a wild animal and chestnut colored hair, she wore a jumpsuit that was probably from the academy, but the most dangerous of all, she had a nailed bat, "Your turn" She then pushed me to the front, Yatsuzaki Kyouko my homeroom teacher as of now.
"A-Ah, y-yeah" I said then I stood straight, okay act normal… ignore their penetrating gazes, "I-I'm Kazuki Otani, nice to meet you" I said while bowing completely 90 degrees.
"Okay, for your seat… ehm… ah! Why don't you go sit over there with the princess?"
"Why are you-?"
"Oh? Problem? Riessfeld?"
"N-None"
"You, go to your seat now" She said while poking me with her bat, ah… I'm scared someone help me…
"…yes…" I muttered then I made my way towards my new seat which was on the 5 line, beside the girl that stood up just now, I then made my way towards it and on the right side there was a girl with short blue hair, an ahoge, and two short braids secured with a yellow and black hairpiece, she looked like she was about to sleep so I decided not to bother her, then I arrived at my seat and my gaze fell to the girl beside me and she also looked at me, "Eh… Kazuki Otani, I hope we get along" I said while bowing politely.
"Julis, Julis-Alexia van Riessfeld, likewise" She nodded to me, not even smiling or anything of the like, am I annoying? Anyway… that name is kinda long! I hope that is her full name if not… can it get any longer? Then suddenly everyone in the classroom looked at us.
"The Princess returned the greeting?"
"Am I witnessing a miracle here?"
"How rude, you wretches! Even I'm known to return greetings!" Riessfeld-san yelled at everyone, then we all heard a swing.
"You bastards pay attention!" Kyouko-sensei said while glaring at us, then we all sat down, I was about to pay attention.
"Haha, that was cool!" I heard a voice behind me, I turned around and I saw a guy with light brown hair and under the jacket of the school he has a green hoodie jacket, does anyone follow the rules here?
"I guess?"
"Yo! I'm Yabuki Eishirou! We're roommates from now on!" The guy said while smiling.
"Eh? You are my roommate?" I said surprised and then he put a serious face.
"How rude, and here I was accepting you"
"Ah… sorry" I said while scratching the back of my head, oh… did I insult him?
"Haha, just kidding how gullible of you" Yabuki-san said while smiling at me.
"Sorry… anyway, can I ask you that after class we go to the dorms… please? I don't know my way around here…" I said while scratching the back of my head.
"Of course! Don't worry roommate!" Yabuki-san said while smiling, then I looked at the front once again to pay attention.
(Time Skip)
Lunch Time!
And so the third of six classes were finished, Yabuki-san had to go because of something of his club and things like that, Riessfeld-san got out of the classroom at a really breathtaking speed, also the short girl with blue hair got out really fast… I guess… today I eat lunch alone, grandma didn't pack me a bento… so I'm in a pickle, where do I go?
"Well, if I walk, then maybe I can find the dining hall?" I said while walking outside the classroom and so I started to walk towards the unknown.
(Time Skip)
After a little while, I managed to arrive at the dining hall, the dining hall used a system similar to my previous school, and that is the ticket machine, I ordered some simple ramen… because that is the only thing I could afford, I don't have money… uuuu… then another problem presented itself.
"Where do I sit?" I asked myself, the dining hall was full and packed with people, there wasn't a single table that was unoccupied, "Ah!" I then saw a kinda empty table, so I made my way there and was about to sit, "Um… May I sit here Riessfeld-san?" I asked the only person occupying the table.
"Hm? I don't mind" She responded naturally I felt really happy to meet these new kind of people.
"Thank you, hope I'm not a hindrance" I said then finally I sat down and clasped my hands together, "Thanks for the food" I said while eating my ramen, then I thought about it… I forgot to order a beverage… damn, maybe Riessfeld-san has a beverage, then I saw what she was eating, a sandwich cut in two triangles, then I saw her and she was looking at me strangely, "Hm? Did I do something bad?"
"No, it's just… why did you order that?"
"Eh? Well… I like ramen I guess?" I said while scratching the back of my head, I can't say! I can't say I have no money so I had to order ramen.
"Not that, isn't that very light? How do you endure the hunger?"
"Eh? Ramen is light? No, it's very filing" I said to Riessfeld-san, wait… has she not actually eaten ramen before.
"But… it looks so… empty" Riessfeld-san said while looking at my bowl.
"Then want to try?"
"No, thank you" Riessfeld-san said while eating her sandwich.
"Thought so…" I then started to resume eating with Riessfeld-san, I finished and thanked for the food again, the bell rang and that signaled the end of Lunch break, "See you in classroom Riessfeld-san"
"Sure, Otani" Riessfeld-san said while walking towards the classroom alone, I picked up my trash and threw it to the trash can and finally I made my way back to the classroom.
(Time Skip)
"So…" I said while walking beside Yabuki-san, since our classes just finished we started to walk towards the dorms, Yabuki-san said that since today was my first day, he would walk with me to the dorms and to class tomorrow, he said to get a girl and get her to walk to the dorms with me and to go to class, but since I have no luck with girls I find that hard to believe, "There is one doubt the Student Council President left me"
"Oh? Claudia? What is?" Yabuki-san said while we climbed down the stairs.
"Festa… what is Festa?" I asked Yabuki-san to which he stopped and looked at me with his mouth wide open.
"EEEhhh~? You haven't heard of the Festa?"
"No?"
"Haaah" Yabuki-san sighed and then he opened his palm and from it a big square was formed, "Festa is a huge competition among schools, you know there are 6 schools right?" Yabuki-san looked at me and I shook my head, he sighed again, "Seidoukan Academy, Saint Galladworth Academy, Jie Long Seventh Academy, Allekant Academy, Le Wolfe Academy and Queenvale Girls' Academy" Yabuki-san said and I wrote that on a notepad I brought with me, "These 6 schools fight at a huge event, that event is Festa, it is globally known, since it's the best fighting entertainment" Then suddenly the box he had separated into 3 boxes, "Even though Festa is a huge event, it's three events in one, taking three years, in the summer… meaning in 4 months is the partner battle, Phoenix, in fall of the second year is the team battle Gyrps, and on the winter of the third year is the individual battle Lindvolus, those that are on the named charts get an advantage and are the favorite to win, the Page One are the ones everyone is rooting for… you don't know what that means right?" Yabuki-san asked me and I shook my head, "Hehe, I got something interesting, well… Named Charts are the best 72 students of a certain school whilst Page one are the top 12 students"
"And how does one get a high rank?"
"By defeating the ones on the Named Charts, like… that guy you faced… that guy was the bottom one, the 72 if you had beaten him you would have been the new 72 guy" Yabuki-san said.
"Oh! So I just have to defeat them at a duel?"
"Exactly!"
"Then!"
"But for you… I will tell you just the 10 places above you"
"Eh?"
"Yeah, like… you are as of now… a No Rank, so I will tell you info about the numbers 72 to 62"
"Why?"
"Well, because I want to see how interested you are to meet the other 62 people" Yabuki-san said while smiling at me.
"Okay… I guess… but what do you mean info?"
"I'm from the Newspaper club, that is how I get my info!"
"Whoa! How cool!" That's when I remembered, "Right… here!" I handed Yabuki-san the lux I couldn't use this morning, "You were the one recording AND the one who gave me this right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"When I turned around to see the crowd I saw you recording, then when someone threw me the lux, it turned out to be the same direction as yours" I said while looking in front, it seems we almost arrived at the dorm.
"Heh, thanks" Yabuki-san said while smiling, "Oh! We arrived!" Yabuki-san said while smiling, then I saw the big building in front of me.
"Whoa, these seem like apartments" I said while admiring the scenery, then I saw Yabuki-san walking towards the dorms and on the front there was kind of a scanner.
"You just swipe your student ID here and done" Yabuki-san said while smiling I did what he said and the door to the dorms opened.
"Ooh"
"And if you want to visit someone in the girls' dormitory you also have to do this but at the entrance of the girls' dormitory and you'll be lead into the guest room, that is also the case if a girl visits a guy" Yabuki-san said while we walked towards our room, "That is a joke…"
"Eh?"
"This doesn't do a thing it just a switch that opens the door, but it's true about guests"
"Ah!"
"Pfff HAHAHA" Yabuki-san started to laugh at me, then I got embarrassed and scratched the back of my head, "Okay, no more jokes, here is our room, room 221" Yabuki-san said then he got his student ID card and swiped at the door, "This one is where you need the student ID, now behold our room!" Yabuki-san said while entering the room, I just looked at the nameplates at the side, Yabuki Eishirou and below that was Kazuki Otani.
"Whoa, it's cool!"
"You think everything's cool!" Yabuki-san retorted, it was a kinda big room, it had two beds and two separate desks with that two chairs also were included, also there was the luggage that Grandma packed, "Is that your luggage? Whoa it's almost nothing"
"I just need clothes right? I mean, we are provided with food and everything else"
"Well, that is about right but still… haah… I'm tired what about you?" Yabuki-san said while slumping on the bed on the right side, and so I left my new acquired katana on my desk and lied down on my new bed.
"I'm kinda tired for the day… but still it's evening" I said then we both looked at the ceiling, and there was a moment of silence.
"Wanna invite me to eat?"
"Eh?"
(Time Skip)
After Yabuki-san started pleading to me about buying him food, and me telling him I had no money, he then said I was greed and then we went to the cafeteria that was on the dorm and he paid for dinner… with money he actually had… haaah… He told me that tomorrow he would teach me about Part-time jobs, but today was still lazy day, so he told me what he knows about the schools, and apparently Le Wolfe is the most dangerous one, so I took into my mind to never approach that school.
I finished taking my bath and was now resting on my bed and Yabuki-san was messing with somethings on his technological window.
"Huh?" He said suddenly noticing something, "Hoho~?"
"What?"
"What is that?" Yabuki-san asked me while pointing at my neck… ugh… I forgot to hide it.
"J-Just a lucky charm that's all..."
"Hmhm"
"That is all, it protects the wearer from danger"
"Hmhmhmhm"
"I-I-It's just an important thing to me okay?"
"Okay~"
"Geez…"
"Anyway, Otani before we go to sleep there are two things that I forgot to mention…"
"And they are?"
"One, you came at a bad time… exams are next week…"
"Ehhhhh~?!"
"Yeah, and there is practical and written parts"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEHH?!"
"And the other thing…"
"Hm?" Yabuki-san then got serious, and I kinda got scared for a minute.
"If you win the Festa… anything… a wish… anything that can be humanly possible can be granted… that is that goodnight" Yabuki-san said before going to sleep, h-h-he leaves this important information at the end… then he goes to sleep? W-Why am I getting toyed with?
"Still… any kind of wish…huh? Hm…" I then stared at the ceiling, I know grandpa said that if I still had time at night I should visit a girl or something like that but I don't know a single girl yet and also… I'm very tired, a wish… hm… I can't think of anything… but… there is something inside of me… something… strange… when I think of this Festa thing… I thought I would get scared and say… no can do, but somehow… I want… to participate in this thing…
"Okay… I've decided" I said to myself, I then looked back at what I have done… and I know I haven't done anything noteworthy… but still I want to change… well… I want to try to change… I will do it, I will enter the Festa! …Ah… that's right the phoenix and the gryps… I need a team and… a partner… hah, it seems I will work on that, but first things first… I then remembered of my opponent today Takaru Kagumi, rank 72… I want to win against him first.
I then looked at my pendant, but still… it would be the best if she was here so I could team up with her, Kirin Toudou… why did your clan broke ties with mine? You… you are not like that.
And so… I went to sleep, this was just the first day… the first day on the story where the weak… will stand up for himself and his important people.
Starting Arc: The weak stands up!
[A/N]
And there you have it people! The end!
Anyway, did you guys liked the story? Did you hated it? What did you like? What did you hate?
Okay as stated there, this story… yes my OC is engaged to Kirin, th—
Someone: Why?
Me: …*looks away*
A-Also, the story isn't taking a few weeks before the Festa, it's taking 4 months before the Festa, ehhh? Yeah, I added this, because I want to add a lot of OC building, well… my OC is practically the weakest in the school but I want to add some "gaming" elements, like if he runs a certain time his endurance increases, if he meditates his Prana/Mana increases and things like that, I also added the idea of Part-time jobs for more outside of Seidoukan Academy character interaction maybe a few run ons with the girls he has met, also another elements I want to implement, the Lunch time and the Night time, Lunch time as the name states is who Kazuki eats lunch with… it doesn't have to be romantic just small talk, just like with Julis in this chapter, and night time, it will be Kazuki just sending messages to the girls and when their affection increases he can call them at night… because… reasons.
Also, how did you like the story (I felt like I already wrote this)? Someone told me that maybe I could do it better than Asterisk… but probably won't…
