CHAPTER 1: To the New World

Female Voice: "Oh, young one, you are not from this realm. You have to remember your kin and where you come from. But even as a human, you'll bring balance to our world."

Young Man Voice: "W-wait! Who are you?! What do you mean my 'kin'?!"

As the mysterious female fades from thin air. The young man wakes from his slumber by his alarm clock.

Young Man Voice: *yawn*"What was that dream? I don't remember what it was but it was something important." The young man woke up not understanding the meaning of his dream.

Mom: "Akira! Breakfast is ready!"

Akira: "Coming!"

Akira Yamaguchi was a young boy of slender body with a little buff such as an athlete, of pale skin, black short hair and green eyes. He was now 17 years old.

He got up of his bed and started to wear his purple tank top over a black hoodie, blue jeans with a clover silver chain attached to his right-pocket and black sneakers.

As Akira sat down, his mother brought him breakfast that consisted on toast bread, fried eggs, strawberry jam and orange juice mean while his father was reading the newspaper with a coffee cup near him.

It was all normal for him, or should it be, but his father was the grandmaster of an martial artist school, so they were quite a rich family but they decided to live normally as a normal family would do. Meaning, no to big house, maids or butler anything related to whatever rich people would do.

Mom: "So, Akira, now my boy is a senior high school student. I'm very proud of it." His mother then hugged her dear son as he was eating his breakfast.

Akira: "Mother, please, I know you love me. But now I'm a grown man. This month is the last of this year of senior, I would graduate from it and be a man. It's time for you to stop hugging me."

Mom: "B-but my baby is growing so fast that eventually will leave the nest." She then cried thinking the time when her son will move out.

Akira: "M-mom! Please, don't cry. I'll be someone you'll be proud of. So please there is no need for you to cry." He tried to console her mother.

Dad: "Dear, our son is on the age when he realize his growth. There is no need to cry." lowering down the newspaper.

Mom: "I know, I know."*cleaning her tears with a handkerchief* then *tick*"But...dear...shouldn't you be going now to the dojo right now?"

Dad: *shiver*"Y-yes, d-dear, I-I'll finish my breakfast and go there."

Correction, even though his father was the grandmaster of the dojo. The truth is, Akira's grandfather was the grandmaster of it but as his mother couldn't inherit the family business, they had to give it to his father after their marriage. His mother was a sweet woman but under her sweetness it held a wild beast that could tear any yakuza organization.

Akira: "Well, it's time that I go to school. Bye mom, bye dad." As he grabbed his Black Clover shoulder bag, he marched to his school.

Mom: "Bye dear, if you see any punk, GIVE THEM HELL!"

He waved at his parents giving him a 'good luck' feeling. As he arrived to school someone decided to approach from behind. Then decides to headlock Akira.

Young Woman Voice: "Heh, heh. My win."

Akira: "That's not quite." He then grabbed her arms and made a judo throw. But it wasn't effective as she landed on her foot avoiding to fall on the floor.

Young Woman Voice: "That's not right to throw a lady, Akira-kun." Cleaning the imaginary dust.

Akira: "Says the woman who headlocked me, Hikari-chan."

Hikari Hanabi was his childhood friend who grew up together in the same neighborhood but since first year of their middle school, she decided to practice martial arts in his family dojo. Both of the parents were friends since before they were born, so his father had no problem for her joining the dojo.

She has a long brown hair, in a ponytail style, of pale skin with light-blue eyes and her body was slender but some parts were well developed for her age. She was wearing a grey T-shirt that said 'Strength is Power', black jeans and combat boots. She was a mix of Japanese American kid (Father+Mother).

Hikari: "Hmph! Says the guy who has mastered every martial art or anything in particular."

As she said, ever since childhood he's been able to do more perfectly than other people would do. Being cooking, fighting (Judo, Karate, Ju-jitsu, etc.), swimming, etc. Even named him 'The Humanoid Mimic'.

Akira: "There is no such thing as mastered every martial art. It's just I'm different from others."

Hikari: "Whatever...Ne, ne, did you buy what I asked for?"

Akira: "Yeah, sure even read it." He took out from his shoulder bag the latest manga of Black Clover.

Hikari: "Thanks I've been waiting for this all week."

Akira: "Sure, sure. It's fun knowing that my childhood friend loves this such as me." Even since the manga has been released, the two of them would read them each weekend from start to end. They weren't that otaku level, but preferably loved reading it.

Hikari: "Hey, it would be the best if we had magic like them, our lives would have been different."

Akira: "Yeah, but thinking that the nobles and commoners wouldn't be on friendly terms since the royalty think they are better, I would prefer where we are now." Maybe that's why his parents didn't want to buy a big mansion. They wouldn't want to think that being different from royalty or commoner would separate from others.

Hikari: "Too bad our world is the 'real' world. We wouldn't be able to use magic. And even if we do, the people would just abuse of it." She looked gloom thinking that the corruption of the world may end the humanity.

Akira: "Well, let's not think that way. Come on, we need to go to class." He went running to his classroom.

Hikari: "H-hey wait up!" She followed him from behind.

Akira was popular because he was the captain of the karate club in the school. He accomplished what other senior couldn't do, such as winning 5 times consecutives on the national karate tournament. His strength were no match for other school as they were more weaker than him. He was the 'Most Strongest Guy' in the school that no students or thugs would dare hurt him as he was the son of the prestigious dojo grandmaster.

Hikari, on the other hand, was popular because she was the Student Council President of the school. As for her intelligence and beauty she made a name for herself in the school as being the 'Most Beautiful Student' of the school. Many male students confessed to her but she knew that some of them were just for her body and other for admiration, so she shot them down. Some tried to force her to go out with them, but as it said before, she trained in Akira's family dojo so if any tried to use violence on her, they would go to intensive care at the hospital.

As they finally finished with the club activities, they were reunited in front of the school.

Akira: "Hey, Hikari. Ready to go?" He asked as they lived in the same neighborhood. She nodded in agreement and went to their houses.

They were walking without worries to their houses and Hikari started a conversation.

Hikari: "Akira-kun. What would you think if our world would be like this manga." Showing the lent Black Clover manga.

Akira: Another fantasy of her?, "Well, if we had magic as the manga, I would like mine to be special. It would be the same as what they call me...um...what it was? Ah, the humanoid mimic."

Hikari: "Like Liar? But isn't he one of the elves that died before?"

Akira: "Yeah, but this time I would be human and not evil. Even though they were right for being angry." He scratched his head wondering if their choices were right or wrong.

At the end, they ended up in their separate ways to their homes. Akira enters his house as normal, eating dinner with his family and sleep for the next day. During his sleep...

Female Voice: "Hello again, young one." The mysterious voice Akira heard before now is in front of him. She looked young but mature, having a long golden hair, wearing nothing but a long length white robe and a halo over her head.

Akira: "It's you! Where am I?! Am I dead?!" He panicked, turning his head from right to left searching if there was something.

Female Voice: *giggle*"Oh, young one. You are not dead but we are in a dream world inside your head."

Akira: "I see. But who are you?"

Sakuya: "I am Sakuya, the goddess of life. I'm here because it is time for you to return to where you'll-" Akira interrupted abruptly.

Akira: "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! What do you mean 'return'? Return where?"

Sakuya: "To where you were first born." That was something Akira could understand at the moment.

Akira: "But what about my parents? What about Hikari?"

Sakuya: "Well, I can't do anything about it. But if you talk to your father, maybe he can explain it to you."

Akira: "My father?"

Sakuya: "Yes, he will respond whatever you ask. We meet once again tomorrow. So long." The goddess disappear once again.

Akira: "Wait, wait! What do you mean-", he wakes up, "-by that?!" His eyes were sleepy but finally could understand what was happening.

Mom: "Akira! Breakfast!" He got up from the bed changed his clothes as before and went down to the table.

Akira: "Morning."

Dad: "Morning, son." He sipped his coffee.

Akira: "Um, dad..." Akira hesitated asking about his dream.

Dad: "Yes?" Looking at Akira raising his eyebrows.

Akira: "Um, do you know anything about a goddess called...Sakuya."

Dad: *shock* Then he lowered the newspaper onto the table and stood up. Before going to the dojo, he said "We'll speak of it when you return."

Akira took a moment that he knew something that himself didn't know about it. But for now, he went to school still wondering what he knew.

Hikari: "Akira-kun! What is with you? You look gloom."

Akira: "Ah! It's nothing. I didn't sleep well, so I am like this." He laughed at his lie but still couldn't but feel worried that if he leaves this place, his childhood friend would be alone.

Hikari: *pout*"Akira-kun~?!" She spoke with a menacing voice. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Akira: She's sharp. I don't know if telling the truth or keeping for myself would be beneficial for her. He didn't want to make his friend worry about him. "The truth is..." He took a few minutes explaining what the goddess spoke about and that his father knew something.

Hikari was silent, her words couldn't come out of her mouth. As if what Akira spoke, was unavoidable.

Hikari: "B-but what about school?! What about your family?! What about..." She couldn't say 'me' as if his path would separate her relationship with him.

Akira: "We'll talk later. We have to go to school." She was silent up to the way to school. Her thoughts were full of 'what if' and 'disappear'.

After school, they went to Akira's house. When they entered they were presented with someone familiar yet unknown to Hikari.

Sakuya: "Hello." She waved to Akira. She was wearing formal clothes as if she were a businesswoman.

Hikari: "Who is that woman?! Explain to me right now?!" She grabbed Akira's clothes shaking around. Akira was also confused but started to get dizzy because of her friend.

Akira: "Hikari...pl-please...I'm... getting...dizzy." He regained his composure after Hikari let go of him. "But really how are you here?"

Sakuya: "As one of the goddess I can appear as a human and interact with them."

Akira: "Dad, do you know her?"

Dad: "Well, she is the one who brought me here in the first place." Both Akira and Hikari were in a 'Huh?' state. "Well, you know that manga you youngsters been into?"

Hikari: "You mean 'Black Clover'?"

Dad: "Yes, my origin is based on that story. I was once someone who lived there and some reason after my death, the goddess Sakuya, gave me a second chance in this world."

Sakuya: "It's as he says. But what I don't understand is why is she here?" Pointing at Hikari.

Akira: "Well, she's been my best friend since we were young. But keeping secret with her would mean destroying that relationship built between us." He made a fist, knowing that he would be separate with the most precious friend.

Sakuya: "Well, it's no problem if you spoke about it. But it would difficult since you told her about it."

Akira: *surprise*"Why is that?"

Sakuya: "In the first place, I already spoke about it with your father. But we may change the plan."

Hikari: "And what is it?"

Sakuya: "First of, Hikari, what do you think of him?" That question caught her off guard. She didn't think that question would be asked.

Hikari: "Um...I think that he is a great friend. He is who helps me I'm in distress and I...kind of fell for him." She finally said it. She struggled since middle school to confessing him but it all ended in failure. She couldn't hold the embarrassment and hid herself covering her face but then she turned to see Akira that was blushing intensely next to her.

Dad: "Then...I'll accept you both."*laugh*

Sakuya: "Then congratulation." Then she became serious. "The plan that was changed, it was that we thought of sending you first. But if she wants to, we could also send her there." Hikari was overjoyed that she would not be separated from him. But Akira knew something was off.

Akira: "But...?" Hikari was surprised that she let her emotion be overjoyed if a plan somehow changed.

Dad: "You understood it..." He smirked, looking at his son all grown up.

Sakuya: "To send her, we have to wait for 2 years to make that trip."

Hikari: 2 Years?! She was shocked that she had to wait. She could be together with him but to wait.

Akira: "Why 2 years?"

Sakuya: "To make a trip to another world, it has to be 2 years worth energy. If it isn't enough, the trip would go wrong and end up in another place." Both of them gulped thinking that if a mistake occurred they wouldn't be reunited.

Hikari: "I understand. If it is to travel there safely, I'll wait 2 years." She showed her determinate eyes.

Sakuya: "Good."

Dad: *whisper*"By the time, she goes there. She will be in your care son." Akira nodded but ended with a light blush. "Meanwhile I'll train her fully to help you when the moment comes."

Sakuya: "But what about my family? How could I explain to them?"

Dad: "That I'll handle it. But for now, we'll keep it simple."

Akira: "Does mother know about this?" What shocked them is that his mother was near hearing everything. She walked closely to her son, then embraced him and said.

Mom: "Son, I know it will be difficult without us. But remember to be strong." She started sobbing.

Akira: "I'll do." He hugged her back with some tears.

Sakuya: "Shall we go?"

Akira: "Wait a minute. I'll bring something." He went to his room grabbed his shoulder bag and brought some clothes with him and a camera with solar charger. Including his cellphone. A block of paper and utensils. "I'm ready."

Then Sakuya opened a portal in the living room.

Hikari: "I'll see you in 2 years, Akira-kun." She made a fist pointing at him.

Akira: "Yeah." He returned with a fist bump.

Both, Sakuya and Akira, passed through the portal and Hikari waved from behind. As they passed through the portal and bright light covered them and they were in a white room. There were a table and two chairs. Both of them sat down face to face and started a conversation.

Sakuya: "How do you feel?"

Akira: "I dunno. I feel different emotions." He looked gloomed.

Sakuya: "There is no thing as loss in you. But remember what your mother spoke of."

Akira: "Yeah." He made a fist and looked at it. "Then what and why am I here?"

Sakuya: "This is my proposition: I'll send you there. But first, what is what you would like to be?"

Akira: "What do you mean?" He was confused at her request.

Sakuya: "I MEAN POWER?! ABILITY! THOSE I'M TALKING ABOUT!" She roared.

Akira: "Well, I said before that I want the power to do 'mimic'."

Sakuya: "Copy other abilities."

Akira: "No. Just copy their affinities. The abilities is something I have to be creative."

Sakuya: "Any other?"

Akira: "Have lot of mana. In that world, mana is the most important thing that require. And a strong body. Nothing more."

Sakuya was writing down what Akira wanted.

Sakuya: "Alright, it is done." The paper where she was writing was levitating eventually glowing in a white color and vanished only to be transferred into Akira. "Now you have a huge amount of mana, copy any affinity but to copy it you have to be in contact with that person's affinity, some will not be able to be copied and lastly a strong body to deal less physical damage."

Akira: "This is great." He could feel the mana surging inside his body.

Sakuya: "Now there is a 'special' book that will be given to you in time." She smiled vigorously.

Akira: "Book?" He didn't understand when a hole under him opened up, falling from the depth. "SHI~T!"*tick mark* She waved as Akira fell to the nothingless.
