TO ARU HUSTLE! CHAPTER: PREVIEW

Uh, so hello again to the world of FanFictionDotNet. It's been quite some while since I last wrote anything, so I'm trying to start anew – with a new approach to my storytelling as well.

This is a preview of an upcoming plan which I might or might not have too much free time on my hands to do stuff.

This new plan of mine is called "To Aru Hustle!" Inspirations of the name? You guess. But if it involves Touma taking his steps of the owner of "Imagine Breaker" further by flexing off some kung-fu talent, maybe I don't need to be any more obvious than this.

Actually I'm pretty bad at explaining these stuff, so I hope the story can speak for itself.

"Such misfortune!"

"Hold it, you dipshit!"

"Wait, you coward!"

And behind me was a group of people I shouldn't have showed off myself to.

You know, one can never be too skillful.

And today, somehow I forgot that magic catchphrase when I beat the crap out of someone.

I, Kamijyou Touma, am leading a way of life that is undoubtedly blessed with misfortune.

Yes, July 19th. I went into a family restaurant in a rather good mood since summer vacation began the next day, and ordered a bitter melon and escargot lasagna from hell.

That was when it happened.

I saw a girl being harassed by some delinquents, thought I'd be a little hero, and that was when my luck ran out – or simply, I'm just too peaceful of a person and decided to flee instead after I sent someone flying with my fists.

Of course, not even I would be enthralled at the sight of bodies laying on the floor after being beaten to a pulp; and trust me, I'm already trying my best not to boast.

"C'mon…" said one of these people harassing the girl.

And that's when I decided to be the hero and stepped in to intercept.

"Hey, you."

The delinquent and the girl turned to look at me as I barged in, with the delinquent giving me a "Huh?" look on his face.

With an "Ehem!" trying to look cool, I began what would be my lines as a good Samaritan.

"She looks troubled."

But as soon as I said that, a group of people came out of the toilet behind me, and if I were to say things in sarcasm – man, I'm pretty lucky am I not?

"Ah, that felt good!" said one of them.

"Oh yeah!"

In reality, though, what I had in mind at that time was "Oh, crap."

"What's with this guy?"

"Got something to say, eh?"

Of course I do, but if you're not the kind of people who prefer a one-to-one communication, then I don't think I have anything for you.

Since I did say I don't want to cause a ruckus here, I just gave the delinquent in front of me a direct hit that sent him flying.

And so, I made my escape. Oh wait, why don't I feel like fighting back?

"Don't think you can escape you bastard!"

Even with that, for some reason I chose to run anyway, yet I don't know why. And of course, the cat-and-mouse chase quickly gained me some unwanted instant fame.

Ahh, god, what is it with my misfortune!?

-PREVIEW END-

Chapter 1 in progress. Hopefully I can get the most positive motivations possible to boost me like a rocket booster pushing me into the awesome space. Cheers everyone, and please look forward to the completed first chapter! Based on the first episode of the anime only with a twist.
