"Argh, I feel so miserable" I, Akira Kazeha mutter to himself as his alarm rang at 5:30 in the morning. I got up to prepare for school.
It's been a week ever since I met Midori-sempai. Over that week I have been stalked by this woman. She's been all over me ever since I beat her in that game.
She's there during recess, lunch and dismissal. She follow me around like a shadow. She wouldn't even leave me to piss in peace! Our discussions most of the time is just about games. She always asks me to join her guild every tine she gets a chance!
When I arrived I saw Midori-sempai at the gates. At least she hasn't figured out where I live yet. I approached her to say hi
"Hello, Midori-sempai."
"Good morning, Kazeha-kun."
"Sempai."
"What is it, Kazeha-kun?"
"Don't you have work in the student council?"
"Actually I wanted to talk to you about that. I'll go to your classroom later at lunch. I have some paperwork to work on." and with a smile she walked past me and straight to the school building...
"Ah, sempai!" I called out to her but unfortunately she couldn't hear me.
I went to the classroom and saw my classmates talking with each other. Ah, another noisy day I thought until I entered the classroom.
While I entered the classroom I was approached by a purple long haired girl with blue eyes.
"Um!"
"Hm?" I looked at my surroundings but I didn't find anyone but myself there so I pointed at myself.
She nods at me and asks me to come nearer.
"What is it?" I ask as fast as I can, well because I could feel stares and I don't really like the attention.
"Um, you're Kazeha Akira-Kun, right? My name is Murasaki Nepgear I hope we can get along." she smile at me. Seriously is that bright smile contagious cause if it is I wanna get a vaccine for that. I don't want children running away cause I look like a pedophile.
"So what do you want?" I try to smile to make her feel better but I cam tell by her face that it's not working.
"You're close with Vert-san aren't you?"
I looked at her with fear in my eyes. Well if you really know what it's like being stalked you'll probably understand.
"What's with that face? Uhum, I just wanted to ask what is your relationship with Vert-san."
"Stalker and Victim."
"Ah, so you're one of Vert-san's fans?"
"Hell no, she's the one stalking me" is what I was about to say but she looked at me with sparkling eyes so I can't. For me to be taken aback from this girl's moe. Fuck me.
"Ah, I... am..." I had a hard time saying it cause I'm not used to telling lies.
"Oh, great!" she smiled at me again the bright one, I think my heart's gonna give because I keep one seeing those smiles.
And what's so "Oh, great!" about this situation? You met a stalker of someone you know shouldn't you be telling me off or something?
"Actually I wanted to join the student council and I want Vert-san to put in a good word for me." sshe says as she starts blushing and does cute gestures.
"Sure, I'll try. But next time don't ask a stalker these kinds of things cause I don't think that they'll be able to do that for you."
"Why not?" she says as she puts her pointer finger near her mouth as if she was thinking.
"No nevermind forget that I said anything." If everyone has these things called weakness mine would be Moe so I don't think that talking to her would be good for my health.
And with that we end our conversation because the math teacher came in with his depressing face.
*lunch*
When I was about to open my lunch and eat alone as usual I saw a familiar face near the door holding her laptop and waving at me.
"Kazeha-kun! Let's play! Wanna go exploring with me?" She yelled out to me.
While she was calling out to me I was doing my best at hiding. My classmates were all wondering 'Kazeha? Who's that?' then a male student approached Midori-sempai and asked.
"Who are you look in for, Midori-san?"
He asked while smiling. I guess he was the pretty boy type. He look like one of those guys that you see in yaoi... Crap...
"You!" she grasped the hands of the male student. "Would you like to, gah!"
"Senpai! You we're looking for me weren't you? Come on let's go!" I smiled bitterly as I pulled her by the collar.
"Hey, we're still talking by the way!" said the class rep.
I looked at him with eyes that said 'I saved your life be more grateful' and left.
I dragged her to a dark corner and asked her
"What do you want sempai?"
"Let's play, Kazeha-kun!" she said while holding out her laptop.
"You wanna play? but sempai we're not allowed to bring laptops to school. And what makes you think that I brought my laptop?"
"Don't worry, Student Council members are allowed to bring laptops as long as they say it's for work." She smiles,
"Well I have something I have to tell you, Sempai.".
"Don't worry I've already taken care of it!" she gave me a thumbs up and shoved my laptop at me.
"Come on, Kazeha-kun! Faster!" she grabbed me and shook me back and forth. With a big smile on her face. I guess her Sophisticated demeanor disappears when playing games huh?
"I am going faster." I said as I try to shake her off.
We logged in, well I never really had any chance to experience me playing with someone by my side. Well it was in a way fun. Until Midori-senpai took out 2 more laptops and started playing on those too.
I stared at her with amazement.
"Hmm, what is it, Kazeha-kun?"
"Senpai, your amazing." I said with astonishment.
"I appreciate the thought but please stop staring at me like that, you might make me pregnant." she blushed and was figetting and stuff.
"Nevermind then." I said trying to dissmiss the subject.
"Kazeha-kun! Let's spar!" Midori-sempai was smiling like a kid.
"Ok, sempai if we must." I don't want to say no to that face I'd die of guilt.
We we're at the forest, the forest was big. The trees were As tall as skycrapers. The leaves of the trees block out the sun in a bright afternoon.
"Lets do this sempai" I took my stance with the shield in front me and the sword unsheathed behind me. Midori-sempai replied by taking her's
"Èn gardé!" sempai yelledand thrusting her spear against me. But I parry her attack and I try to stab her in the neck. It Was blocked by the oth end of the staff.
"Wind bomb!" Sempai made a bomb appear between us. "Have you gone insane!?" Sempai just whispered "Wind step'' and disappeared from sight.
"Oh, shit. Absolute Defence!"A shell of energy appeared and shielded me from the blast. The blast took out a tree that was a foot thick and it collapsed right infront of me.
"Ah that was a close one..."
"Too bad I'm not finished yet." Midori-senpai smirks as she point her spear at me from behind. "Sylpheed Spear!" A great force suddenlly tried to pierce my back I leaned right to avoid it but it was too strong.
The force of the attack pierced two trees and finally stopped at the third. The hole maybe small but it looked like a lazer was shot through.
I took my stance again and said to my self It's time to go serious. Took my stance again and ran towards her. She replied by taking her stance.
"Spear storm!" she launched a flurry of thrusts and slashes at me but I easily blocked them with my spear. "Counter!" then she felt my pain I ccould see it in her eyes.
"Now our fates are connected when I take damage you will take damage, but when I deal damage I will come out unharmed." smile a little bit. Well in some cases it isn't really true.
Counter move is like a double edged sword where if you get the timing correctly you get to deflect your opponent's attack but If you get the timing wrong you get double the damage for 10 minutes.
And the counter move doesn't work on magic.
"I get it... So that was counter huh?" Midori senpai speaks as if she alreadu knew the details of the move. So this will finish it!
She raised her hand. "Aeoleus' wrath!" tornadoes suddenly rushed towards me from random directions. "Deflect!" Dispell is a spell that works only on spells but does not work with physical attacks, it's like a reflect for magic.
Suddenly while the tornadoes were dissa pearing a girl suddenly imaples me with her spear. I felt the pain of being stabbed but more than that I felt a soft sensation on my lips.
I felt a black out.
I was collapsing not in the gaming world.
In real life too.
As I close my eyes I saw Midori-senpai move towards me yell my name and with fear in her eyes.
Suddenly I felt cold...
It was very faint but I could still hear her calling my name...
It felt like it was raining.
No, wait. Those were tears...
Suddenly I couldn't feel anything. See nothing...
My surrounding suddenly changed.
I saw a city.
It was a beautiful city I'm sure...
But what I was looking at was the destruction of this beautiful city.
The buildings were on fire, the people were being slain by monsters.
It was a living nightmare.
Those were just images, but what I believe is what I saw was truly...
...hell.
