I blinked, "Huh..."


I looked Issei, who just gave me a thumbs up.

I slowly accepted the invite before the box vanished. Issei nodded, "Now say [Status]." I decided to humor him, "[Status]."

Instantly, a new box appeared.

Kurosei "Jack" Hyoudou

I blanked before slowly turning to Issei, who was nodding to himself and muttering, "It makes sense that you have high DEX. The scholarship WAS for firearms due to how you handled the carnival stalls from Ferris wheel... But what's with your MP? Mine maxes out at 1,500..." I blinked before shaking it off and explaining slowly, "I, I figured out how to make the ammo I fire become elemental. However, the amount of magic involved is a bit costly when they add up. So, I increased my reserves by continuously practicing them to drain them before having it fill up and repeating the process all over again."

He nodded in understanding before asking teasingly, "So, who's this Vali?" I felt my face heat up and stammered, "N-no one!"

"Tell me! Or else I'll tell you about videogame terms!"


I sighed as we made our way to Issei's high school. With my scholarship over, I transferred to his school to finish my education.

People whispered as they saw us.

"There's TWO of them?!"

"Is he a family member?"

"What if he's like Issei?"

When we arrived at the classroom, I sighed before standing in front of the class as they all filed in. After the teacher introduced me, I greeted, "Hello. I'm Kurosei Hyoudou, Issei's twin brother. I just came back from America. I hope we can get along. Any questions before we start class?" Multiple hands raised before I called on a girl, "Are you single?" I sighed, "Nope. But we have a long distance relationship." A guy asked, "What is your thoughts about the school, at the moment?" I slowly turned to him, before sighing and slowly resumed my original position, "No comment except that the female uniform needs to change... by having a longer skirt."


I sighed before looking taking out my textbook, whispering, "What are my [Options]....?"

Options

Visible Damage: Off

Visible HP/MP bar: Off

Status: Off

Overhead map: Off

Team Chat: Off

I lightly tapped the options as if I was tracing important words, before finally getting what I need.

From what Issei told me, HP and MP stands for Health Points and Mana Points respectively. I made that visible to me so I can keep track of what I have to work with. Status is also visible so I can know what's affecting me. Team Chat was left on for the moment, and the map was on so I could see where I was.

Sometimes, I think Issei force-fed me information.


I sighed and slouched slightly as I began to walk to my next class. Suddenly, this red haired girl blocked my way. I gave her a dull look and asked, "May I help you?" She shook her head and moved to the side. Before I continued on my way, I whispered into her ear,

"Just to let you know, the supernatural females usually have big unnatural breast. Fix that, okay?"

She looked at me in shock as a went to my next class. Just as I was nearing the classroom, another translucent box appeared.

Issei has disbanded the party.

I paused before tilting my head and muttering, "Why the heck do I have to deal with this...?"

Suddenly, a sharp pain went through my head...

Not again...


I was seeing two scenes, like a split screen. They showed Issei and I, but in different location.

I couldn't tell who was where.

One of us was walking to this abandoned church.

The other was standing in front of this girl.

As I/he began to walk up the stairs, the girl asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

I/he was halfway up the stairs as she continued, "In honor of our first date?"

I/he reached the top and was slowly walking up, "To commemorate this special moment..."

I/he was at the entrance of the church, while I/he nodded to signal her to ask away.

She asked while her voice became more mature, "Will you die for me?"

I/he kicked the doors open.


I blinked and shook my head before continuing on my day, trying not to worry about that vision of the future.

I'll tell Issei about it, maybe later...


As we left the school grounds, Issei asked me, "Hey, you okay? You seem out of it..." I sighed sadly before pointing out, "Tempo has another definition... But I'm not willing to tell you about it just yet. Is there any places with a good view of the sunset?" He sighed before pointing in a certain direction, "I would ask what's going on with you... But I know you have a lot on your mind. Just be back before midnight, okay?" I smiled slightly and nodded before we went out separate ways.

After arriving at a bridge, I closed my eyes and let my mind wander to different times...


I stared through the scope of my sniper riffle, focusing on my target.

I don't know why...

But I felt as if this will be the shot that changes everything... like the other shots I fired into someone's skull.

All I needed to do was pull the trigger and get out of here...

...

My finger twitched...

...

I blinked, and my gaze focused.

My power slowly charged the bullet.

Dimensional wavelength established.

I muttered coldly, "The Emperor..."


I sighed before someone came up to me and asked, "U-um, excuse me... Are you Issei Hyoudou?"

It was the girl from my vision.


BANG!

Dohnaseek is eliminated.


I grabbed my bag and asked, "What do you want?"

She asked shyly, "U-um, you see... Will you go out on a date with me?"

Issei invited you to join 'Team Hyoudou'

Accept? Y/N

Y

Issei: What's taking you so long?

I sighed before smiling, "Sure, but I prefer to call it 'hanging out', okay?"

Kurosei: Would you hang out with a Fallen Angel for me?

Kurosei: Because I need to go to church and take care of some things.

"I'm okay with that!"


Get ready, because this is where things are shaken up!

Time for the twin to show how he does things, in the next chapter!

Review?
