Chunnibyou, or eighth grade disease. Most of us have had it, we all know what it's like. Pretending somethings there that's not, becoming someone else entirely.
One said victim of this disease is Togashi Yuuta. He became the Dark Flame Master and wielded the ancient magic of the dark flame. This..state of mind stayed shortly though. Eventually growing out of it, he decided to make a new life when his family moved into a new apartment. He lived with his Mom and two sisters. His brother Terra, lived in with him as well, he was teaching in the school he was going to actually, he was around 24 years of age, and he still lived with his family, for financial reason more than anything. He wasn't spared from the disease, he once called himself "The Master" an arrogant, 'proper' person bent on having a worthy adversary to fight. When his brother 'caught' the disease he actually brought back his old one, to spend more time with his brother, even if he had to play the villain.
This obviously lead to many adventures of which I will talk about another time. Anyways, back to the main topic, he decided that after he abandoned his Chuunibyou, he wanted to go to a school that nobody would know him from. After choosing, he got to work with his "Dark flame master" equipment. Setting boxes of stuff on his balcony for what he labeled "trash", it showed out equipment such as a sword that was designed with ridges going up and down it, and a dark black handle. A hand reached out from the door grabbing the sword.
"Can't believe you're throwing this out" his older brother said revealing himself to him holding the sword in his right hand. He stood at 6'1, he was built like a boxer, mostly due to his old chuunibyou he trained extensively, he had brown shaggy hair he shared with his brother, and golden eyes no one could explain where he got them from. He was wearing his uniform that he was required to wear for his job as a teacher, which looked similar to the students uniform.
"I have to get rid of it to rid of my embarrassing memories when I went through my chuunibyou phase." he said, placing the last box down. "Now we don't we go in and have some dinner before we catch a cold? It's a chilly night out." Yuuta stated as he slipped beside his brother, into the warmth of this apartment. His brother, watching with slight disappointment in his eyes as he placed the sword back in the box and followed sitting at the table. Yuuta, noticing he forgot something that was meant to be put in the boxes, stepped outside for a moment to put it with the trash when he noticed a rope was hanging in front of his balcony, coming from what seemed like the balcony above them. This peaked his interest so he went to stick his head out when he saw a pair of feet wearing coal black shoes slowly descend downwards. Holding his hands out, they softly stood as his palms as he guided them to the railing, to reveal a black and blue dress accompanied by a high school girl that had purple hair, a white eyepatch and a blue eye exposed.
Before he could speak, the girl spoke to him in a calm, sweet voice. "Did you see?" she asked, looking directly at coming into his brothers room sees him on the balcony talking to a cute highschool girl, he smirked and went back to the dinner table.
'You certainly work fast ototou' he thought to himself. Yuuta, realizing what she meant, blushed and replied quickly.
"no!" and looking at her. The next thing out of his mouth threw him for a surprise as she said.
"Do you want to see?" When Yuuta didn't answer, she started climbing down the rope again, leaving a dumbfounded Yuuta.
"Oi ototou, kaa-san getting worried, get your ass in here" his brother yelled from the other room breaking his trance. Yuuta ran in quickly with that girl on his mind, and sat at the table quickly, knowing dinner was bound to be finished within a few minutes.
The following day was the first day of School for Yuuta. Wanting to waste no time, he had everything prepared the previous night as to make it in time. Having to take a train to get to school, he was waiting at a train stop when he decided to check his hair, again, first day. Terra was standing near the stop looking over to his brother, he shook his head, he really liked dark flame master better, at least he wasn't marinating in teenage hormones. While checking his hair in a mirror at the stop, a girl with light brown hair went to check her hair too. The two teens looked at each other in sync and backed up, to which Yuuta allowed her to go ahead she was fixing her hair, Yuuta looked over to see the girl from last night. Terra saw his brother stare intently at a purple haired girl, looking from her, to his brother, he repeated about four times, and decided to do his job as a big brother… and tease the hell out of him.
"Love at first sight ototou" After of which the train came and the purple haired girl held out her hand as if to summon a creature, and watched as the train doors opened. She then skipped inside while giving Yuuta a "haters gonna hate" style of smirked at the girl's actions and dragged his dumbfounded brother into the train. Later at school, Yuuta walked on to the school balcony, thinking of her chuunibyou persona, Dark Flame Master. After a slight hesitation, he put his hands in the normal formation before spouting his signature line, "Be enveloped in the flames of darkness and disappear!" After this, he yelled for it to go die without realizing that behind a tree diagonal from said balcony, the purple hair girl WHOSE NAME WE DON'T KNOW YET was watching him. Nobody who knew him in middle school was there, meaning his secret of having Chuunibyou was safe. And that all shattered when he saw his brother was his homeroom teacher. Upon seeing this sight, he hit his head on his desk once. After this, he looked up in hopes of his brother not mentioning anything when the purple hair girl came and spoke to him, starting with the dreaded words, "Dark flame master." Terra, whom was setting up his lesson, he heard his brothers old delusion title and looks to see the girl from the balcony, he just gives a smirk and goes back to his planning, educational and otherwise.
This obviously set Yuuta off inside but he tried to ignore it until said girl grabbed her white eyepatch and said "my eye is resonating!" Yuuta, wanting to avoid embarrassment, grabbed her and ran out of class to the Nurse's looking to his escaping brother, then to the confused classroom.
" I will see if they're alright, continue to be the hormonal teens that you are" he said leaving the class following yuuta, the class didn't know whether not to look a gift horse in the mouth, or feel insulted.
In the office, Yuuta was looking for some eye drops just as the nurse had instructed. After finding them, he went to pour them into the girl's eye. Terra walked in as she uncovered her golden eye, and decided to bring out his old chuunibyou, he stood straight, and placed his arms behind him, and instantly an air of arrogance surrounded him.
"You the one who has the golden eye, your power, it matches that of my greatest foe" he said with a prim proper tone, yet it held power to back up the air of arrogance around him. Seeing this, Yuuta started to freak out inside. The girl went to reply when suddenly, a gold contact fell out of her and Yuuta sweatdrop at her frozen serious expression, mouth still open to respond. Yuuta, not wanting to hear anymore chuunibyou, grabbed a nearby ladle and placed it over her good eye after she put her eyepatch back on. The girl being unable to see, started to flail her arms. Letting her go, She sat down and removed the eyepatch and contact to get the eye drops put in. Terra still in his chuunibyou speaks.
"You never did give your na…" he looks to Yuuta, "I sense diluted power, Dark Flame Master. your power has diluted, hn figures my only worthy opponent loses his power. Anyway, you girl, name"
While Yuuta was screaming die on the floor and rolling, the girl said "Rikka, but I hold the power of Tyrant's eye within" before Yuuta got up, beckering them to go back to class before they are classified as tardy. Terra looked to Rikka and then to a nervous, yet insane looking Yuuta, then he fell to his knees seemingly in pain.
"It seems my time is short, we will meet again, Tyrant's Eye" before getting up holding his head, "Man, what happened" he looks to Yuuta, and Rikka. "Oh thats right, Yuuta, come on, don't want to be tardy do you" walking off as if nothing happened.
After class, Yuuta was called to the front of class by his brother, who was smirking towards him, only to be told Rikka didn't know how to get home, and he was 'asked' to escort her around town and home, finding out she lived right above him. Following his order, he walked home with her only to walk in and see a huge abundance of boxes in the first hallway. Hearing some whistling he saw his brother arrive, only to stop whistling at the sight of the boxes.
"I'm not going to question, what boxes, what are you talking about" he ranted entering the apartment. Yuuta was looking at Rika who was looking at the boxes before saying "Do you know what is in these boxes?" Rika then walked over to one and took out a miniature cabin wheel a sand looking Stegosaurus. Stating they were important, Yuuta grabbed them and put them back in the box before telling her she had to carry them to her apartment. Rikka grabbed one and started walking slowly before Yuuta sighed and said "I'll help" and grabbing a box. Taking about 45 minutes to get everything in her apartment, they found out her sister wasn't home and invited her to stay at their house for the time being.
After dinner was prepared and ate, Yuuta, Terra, Rikka and the brother's younger sisters all sat at the table with the mother. She was talking about how Yuuta wanted to be called "Dark flame master". Terra added his two cents saying how he would try to 'curse' his brothers food, saying it was to kill someone called "The Master". Yuuta glared at him before telling his mother "Don't you have mother things to do?" and chasing her off. The rest of them sat there, just talking until Rikka's older sister arrived home.
