Shift 01: A day in a mysterious Island…

That day…I can't remember anything…my vision is fully blurry…what happened?

No, wait there's one thing I can remember it was that time, Houki reached for me! The whole academy was in fire, most ISes were deployed and now fighting I don't know how many IS looking things that annihilated all of them…The personal IS users, namely me, Houki, Cecilia, Charl, Rin, Laura and Kanzashi including the sempais from the other years tried to fight but those things' powers were in a different league than the IS and of course we were beaten badly…

Come to think of it where am I? This seemed to be a place I'm not familiar with but I feel a certain feeling inside me that I already came here before…that's weird…

The strong breeze made my hair flutter and the only thing I can see is I'm in a wide grass land and as I step forward I can already feel the wetness of the ground and it was somewhat hot maybe due to the sun's heat It would seem that I'm not wearing any shoes or so…I can see mountains a few kilometers from here…

Where is this place? What's the occasion now? I have no idea at all.

I can feel the heat directly making me comfortable…eh? There's a girl, who has grayish hair which makes me remember of Laura but her hair is a bit darker than Laura's… her hair too fluttered in the air, I can only stare at her in a daze and I didn't want to call her out even so I continued to the girl standing in front of a big stone pillar.

The occasional breeze felt comfortable, and I stared at the scenery in front of me in a trance-like state.

I walked until I was a few meters from her then she looked at me, she has hazel colored eyes and surprisingly her hair color changed from gray to black.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

I tried asking her but she didn't reply and just fixed the hem of her skirt as she smiled at me…then she looked at me directly.

"Ichika-kun can you tell him that I love him? Also tell him that I'm fulfilling his dreams of cleaving reality ok? I am doing this so that I can give this world to him…please tell him that I love him, and I'm ready to destroy the world for him."

"Eh? What are you—"


"Hmm he doesn't seem to wake up…"

I made my voice a bit low so that Irene who was preparing tea in the mini kitchen like thing in Orimura-kun's room will not hear me…I tried poking his face all over again as I did a few hours ago…Muu, this is getting tiring and boring you know? But I wonder why his vital signs are okay but why isn't he waking up? That's really weird I want to see what can he do, but from all the videos of him that I got, it will seem that this child's a bit or should I say, really weak than what I expect…

Come to think of his life was really like a story of a fucking lucky guy who gained an international harem! Shit I want to smack him while he's sleeping I'm older than him but I didn't even had a girlfriend for once! And what more a Harem for once! Fuck this guy! I want to kill him and to make the world fair!

"WHA!"

Suddenly he woke up, full of sweat looking all around as if he was being chased by someone…well this is already a miracle he woke up after getting lots of fractured bones, his body getting almost smashed…thinking of it, it makes me kind of guilty…hehehehe I sorry Orimura-kun! And I'm saying this in advance! I'm sorry, I'll make you fall for me and hurt you! I fixed the voice changing device that I made that can play with my voice by controlling the resonances of the vocal tractwhich produce the characteristic vocal formants and also controlling the 'train of pulse' that the human diaphragm action produces by pushing the air from the lungs into the vocal folds producing a periodic train pulses

Fufufu now with my fucking perfect crossdress and with the special breast pads that can fully mimic the feeling of a woman's breast, and the things I used to change my body shape and with the help of one friend of mine (Giving me a perfect make over cutting my eyebrows and destroying all the acne then making me look like a girl and removing all the body hair except from my hair on the head) I now look exactly like a female version of myself! Even it's kind of awkward to be wearing this very skimpy dress I will do this to take revenge! Even if I get killed by Irene! But it seems to be ok for her, but she's still stopping her laughter…Come to think of it wearing this underwear…alright no c-c-co-comm-comment about that!

"Ku…kukukukuku…th-the Professor…kukuku ! Hahaha! Crossdressing!"

"Oi oi! Why are yo-you laughing!"

"Why it is funny! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Shit now this kind of thing happens…I took a gaze at Orimura-kun who was still not talking not even fixing his disheveled hair then he looked at me.

"O-oh! I'm Claudia Williams! P-p-pleased to meet you! Y-you-you're Ichika Orimura-kun right?!"

"Y-yeah! I'm Ichika Orimura….where am I?"

Yosh! HAHAHAHAHA I will take revenge! I will take it! WHAHAHAHAHA!


It was about 5:43 PM the sun beautifully dyed everything in a yellow-orange shade, a few kilometers down one could hear the slow waves of the sea, and the very sweet smell of the sea-side, seeing this one can only enjoy its great magnificence.

He was in a fully white room, even the ceilings were white that makes him feel as if he was in a white world but of course not all the things in this room were white, near the door which was in his left side was a small brown kitchen where one can do simple dishes, the floor was light brown and wood-like in looks, and on his right was a very great view that he can only stare at a daze, in did to that and rubbed his drowsy eyes and took a gaze of a girl beside him, smiling seemingly happy to see him awake, seeing that girl Ichika was full of confusion simply because he had never saw this girl once in his life.

She was about 20 years old if one will base on her height and looks, silky long blonde hair that almost covered her back, her eyes were in hazel in color that seemingly radiate happiness, her eyes were definitely enough to make the eyes pale in difference of beauty, she wore a simple cardigan over her blouse that somewhat emphasized her beauty instead of her shape, but her shape was indeed far superior than any models that one can see, on her head was a brown beret that made her a bit cute, but telling the truth she truly is cute.

While watching her Ichika quickly thought of something, it was everything that happened in that day which sent chills to his spine and made him widen his eyes, it was the day that he got separated from Houki and the others, he was quickly filled with worry that covered him and specially his heart, sweat began dripping from his forehead and all over body, he didn't know what to do, he wanted to stand but his body hurt all over, why? Why can't I stand? Ichika wanted to stand but he can't. Seeing his futile effort the girl beside him, Claudia, touched his hand to console the young man.

"Orimura-kun, don't stand, you can't stand, don't you understand? I know you want to help Houki-chan, and the others but you'll be a pain in the butt if you help them now."

"B-bu-but…"

She touched his lips and neared him, then she slowly as if seducing him neared her face to his ears, Ichika quickly blushed just by smelling her sweet caramel scent, the hypnotizing smell wafted his smile, which put him in a transient trance that seemed like it was forever, but he of course as a young man enjoyed it but he quickly banished his thoughts and stared at her bewitching eyes.

"Don't even try to ok?~ I am a sempai of Tabane-chan and Chifuyu-chan so don't worry ok?~ Here I'll prove it…~"

"Chifuyu-nee?!"

"Yeah…"

She quickly got away from him and swayed her hand gracefully at the air and summoned a hologram window then skillfully tapped and swayed at the screen then she showed him a picture of 3 girls, one black haired girl seemingly not happy crossing her arms while looking at the camera's lens that time, another one posing cheerfully while holding an arm of a seemingly shocked or somewhat forced blonde girl who was higher than the two and all them wore a reminiscent deep blue sailor uniform that her sister wore when she was in high school.

"Th-tha-that's really Chifuyu-nee and Tabane-san…are you their friend?"

"Ye-yeah something like that…"

The girl's expression quickly twisted when he asked that seemingly thinking of something or one should say remembering something embarrassing as she replied to Ichika in a very stuttered and nervous face…She then straightened her expression and smiled at him with a forced smile…

"We-well you can say that were friends, Ichika-kun since I'm on the same league of those two, using an IS I'm on the same level of Chifuyu-chan, and as smart as Tabane…"

"Th-that means you were involved with the making of the IS?!"

She looked away from him and made a grim expression, hinting that she did something wrong in fact she did do something that Ichika might hate her because of that single thing that she did, seeing this Ichika wanted to console her but before he could do that thing she looked at him and bowed down to the floor as if paying respect to an emperor of some sorts but it was really due to apologizing to him for he was about to know that she was the reason he was injured and almost killed, she was the creator of those machine who attacked the IS academy and subdued all leading countries in the world.

"I'M SORRY! I'M VERY SORRY! I'M SORRY ICHIKA-KUN! I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE MACHINES WHO ATTACKED IS ACADEMY! I'M VERY SORRY!"

Ichika's expression quickly twisted due to that, she endangered all the girls in the academy which is now in ruins, thinking of that alone he was filled with confusion, anger, and sadness, but all of that anger was dominating in his heart he wanted to hurt her but his arms were quickly restrained by a black girl in a cheap, bit worn out suit who had a very stern expression somewhat angry expression.

"Quite being very reckless you fucking reckless bastard why don't you stop that a little and hear the story? The Professor is a good person, at least hear his…I mean her story."

"I-I'm sorry about that…"

Ichika quickly calmed after hearing what the other girl said and now got back to staring at her, seeing that Ichika has already calmed down she then starts explaining everything that happened.


The thing that I can tell you is that machines has a consciousness the same as a human's consciousness, which myself programed, the basing of its consciousness was my own, accessing my brain's 'consciousness' and my memories, I copied my consciousness and memories by connecting my brain to the first Parallaxis then modified it, thus forming a new consciousness for the Parallaxis, thankfully it didn't damage my brain.

It was about a few days ago when I was fixing some settings on the [Resonance of the Twilight]'s programming, it was just like any normal day for me fixing it, calibrating its systems, and doing things when it...

"Do you want to destroy reality?"

It was question coming from the [Resonance of the Twilight]'s consciousness who took form of a fictional girl who I've made in high school and loved since high school, a girl who might be fictional but thanks to technology she became what you call an AI, an artificial intelligence, but I know she too in consciousness was human, [Resonance of the Twilight] has its own feelings, it gets angry, it gets happy, it gets sad, it gets joyful and it feels love...I didn't want to refer to it as a machine, but as person that I love, and she even not in turn loves me too...

Her name was Claudia but her original name was Allison.

Knowing my Misanthropic views of the world, hating it for forsaking me and all of its crappy people that I've met, she desired of 'cleaving' reality and wanted to destroy this world and put all the humans under my control...

Hearing that I began sealing or turning off the systems of [Resonance of the Twilight] no...Claudia's systems, I began freezing all its or should I say her systems that will now begin destroying the world...

"Wh-what are you doing? I am fulfilling your wish, I am fulfilling your dream!"

"I know but that! I don't want that!"

"That is what you want...I-I Love yo and I'll do this for you!"

"What are you saying?!"

The she override my control and broke free from the restrictions, now the [Resonance of the Twilight] is moving on its own, casting a metal body and using her connection to the core network that uses the core unlimited circuit that can evolve and adapt, a thing that I developed with my own and just helped Tabane-chan and controlled the other Parallaxis and got away...I can call this as a very usual plot that you will see in an anime or light novel of some sorts...

They got out and now after just a few hours she has subdued the world...I know I was the cause but Claudia didn't understand what I was saying...


"And that was everything...I'm sorry for being like this...I'm very sorry...I'm sorry for destroying Byakushiki Setsura but..."

Seeing what has really happened, Ichika thought that it was really her, Claudia's fault the same time he wanted to hit her the same time he didn't want to do that...he then slowly looked at his right arm and again widened his eyes seeing that Byakushiki's closed form wasn't there, seeing that a certain anxiety attacked him and covered his heart for some inexplicable reason...

"Here, the new Byakushiki Setsura, my upgraded version of it, full of new things that will increase its powers and solve its practical energy consumption...since Houki and the Akatsubaki's not here..."

"Oh yeah! Houki and the others!"

Hearing the name of his first childhood friend from the lips of the blonde maiden who had a gloomy expression.

"They're all okay, Orimura-kun...I'll say this I'm sorry...current all of the personal IS users from all over the Earth have formed an international alliance, a 'resistance' to fight Claudia, I only hope that they wont be corrupted..."

"Eh? Corrupted? What do you mean..."

"Professor I'll explain this"

"No Irene, let me..."

She slowly stood while wearing the same gloomy expression from a few moments ago...she then slowly yet gracefully got Ichika's right wrist and then she showed him a sweet smile, a smile that seemed to be a bit mischievous smile, in another angle it was a smile of happiness.

"Parallaxis has its own ability the [Corruption] able to brainwash and control people who are users of it...and I have made the only weapon that can destroy it, and only you can use it using your Byakushiki...smile now hero, you're the only one who can save the world, help my find Tabane and Chifuyu will you?"

"I don't know why...but if I can save the world, I'll do it."

"Good that's the spirit Ichika"

He resolved himself and stared at these two women who were just beside him, the two women smiled at him seeing how resolved he is.

"I'm Irene Chamberlin pleased to meet you Ichika."

"I-I'm Or-Orimura Ichika..."

"Good, Orimura-kun let us start training...I'll be your coach!~"

Ichika's expression quickly turned into a weird one, seeing another girl wanting to coach him, he didn't want another but...

"Judging from your expression, I say that you don't want me as a coach right? Well then perhaps let's decide using a duel, If you beat me using a an upgraded version of Uchigane even just once I'll let you go out of this island using your new Byakushiki-"

Ichika's expression lightened up hearing that and then he quickly smiled as if he has won something.

"All right that will be-"

"I wont be using an IS that means I'll be unarmed and you'll be using an IS"

"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?!"

Orimura Ichika's shocked and dumbfounded shriek was heard, and that shriek was because he knew that no unarmed or even armed human can beat an IS as the two women smiled seeing his 'cute'(According to them) expression..


A/N: Well that's it people...I do the epic man or should I say crossdresser who's unarmed vs Ichika-kun who'll be using the 'upgraded' version of Uchigane oohhh...who will win?

Anyway I'm still thinking what weapons will the new Byakushiki has...I dont have any Idea right now but meh...I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have an Idea soon

I hope you enjoyed the very classic cliche chapter of mine...sigh I guess I suck at writing...
