Yo, it's been a while since I got further on Kyrati in ISA. Sorry, shit caught up and I have more to do later. Good thing I have a holiday week.
I don't know to be proud or sad that this story got 39 reviews in total which are the same amount as To the other end of the world. My most important piece of work on this site.
This has been up since January, so a bit more than two months while the other one has been up since summer. Seven months till now. While the other story I'm really busy with and where I worked a lot on since last summer, got only 39 reviews with one or two per chapter.
I'm proud at one point that my story is liked so much, but at the other hand. This is the only fic I'm not serious about. I mean. I care for it, but it's more like a crack fic.
Before you guys are telling me that you should read my other stories, I'm not saying you guys have to do that. Not at all, if you like this story and this is the only one of my writings you like, I don't mind. I'm at least glad you read and reviewed this.
Somewhere in my pride, it's funny. A story I made a mess of is liked by you guys while another story I worked on for a long time and thought a lot about have less attention. Clearly, sometimes life can be strange.
It's something I wanted to point out before continuing. If you guys like this story, I suggest you stay with this one. I don't think that you guys would like the other stories because this has more jokes, more violence, and I break the characters down instead of building them up.
And if I look back at the way of my story, I don't think it's been such a bad run. I guess that underline humour is more my thing than having a serious fic. And then my parents say I don't have a sense of humour. I guess that I don't have the sense they have. Because you guys find this funny.
For my two guest reviews. I normally answer back, but because I can't with you two, I will leave a message behind for the chapter, so you guys have your answers. Thanks for it by the way. I don't care if you don't have an account or not. If you leave a guest review, it will end up at my story. Thanks for it.
For the guest as the twenty-sixth of March, it's a nice suggestion. I'm thinking of getting multiple references to other works of Ubisoft so you can expect some things to show up.
As for the guest on the first of April. You're not the only one who thinks like that.
I have had it with the way Infinite Stratos works. I'm a guy. I watched a lot and I mean a lot of harem and ecchi series. I can accept a lot of irritating things in those animes. More than most watchers. But I cannot help to hate Infinite Stratos.
Look, I like working in the section of FanFiction, because the fans do the one thing the author didn't. We worked with the potential the show could have and we were original.
I mean. There are so many stories that are so much better than the canon series.
I took another way with my hacker fics, making a completely another thing, but I'm missing the point.
Infinite Stratos is stupid, it's garbage, it's offensive. I mean. A harem or ecchi MC that gets beat up, okay. That's shit that happens. But to have that every five minutes. Not cool. I mean. With To Love Ru and Darkness, Yami beats up Rito every time and it doesn't have a lot, but it has some, little, but still, character development.
With the IS, you don't have the thing. I mean. Every time that Ichika gets in some situation, he always ends up hurt by his "friends". It's even worse in the second season with the fucking Student Council President. If could ask you guys, leave a review behind with just the words if you hate Tatenashi or if you like her. I hate her. With everything I have.
Sorry for my rant, but I needed that to get out my system. I tried to watch the first season. I hardly could.
Back to answering the review.
The things that Ajay yelled at them. Dude, most of my friends call me a nice guy who take some jokes. Even I want to yell at them. I can understand Ichika's situation to a level. When I was fifteen, I was the only guy in my class. There were eight girls. Look, it's not fun. First of all. They had BF's and stuff like that and it wasn't my best time at school.
All my friends, male friends, were in other classes. I can understand Ichika's position. It's uncomfortable to be in a class as the only male. Hell, as the only male on the school. But he has friends among those girls. So he should feel comfortable around them to a level. But the point with his denseness. He is the only male. Doesn't he realise his peers are at that age?
They're interested in him. To a romantic level. Doesn't he catch that?
He could be a late bloomer, I mean, when I was fifteen, I was still a boy at some points, but even so, I grew out of it.
But I think it's more than just his denseness and his age. I think his upbringing has a large part in it. He idolises his sister. I can understand that. She raised him by herself, but like Ajay pointed out to her. She made the ultimate perfect man of him for every girl.
She fucked up the idea of making Ichika standing up for himself against women. She taught him to be respectful of women. I guess Ajay got the same thing by his mum, but at least. When he is attacked, he forgets his attackers are women and he kills them. Take Yuma for example. Ajay is a boy due to the place where he lived. And with Kyrat, Ajay is a soldier and a King now.
He doesn't shit around. That's the reason why I made Ajay like that.
And with your second line of becoming stronger to protect his friends. Indeed, what kind of friends do you have? They want to kill you the second they see something and they don't care. I mean. They use their goddamn Infinite Stratos. Could you at the very least not protect yourself with it?
Oh, wait. Your so called samurai code your dear sister taught you prohibits you. Swords are the weight of a man's life. Dude, we have been using guns for the most of our wars. And I guess they still use guns like AK or other weapons.
Reminder, Infinite Stratos are only used for sports. They made that in the Alaska Treaty what is pure bull shit because a weapon is a weapon. And weapons are used by soldiers to kill. And the Infinite Stratos is the ultimate weapon.
Okay, I wrote more than thousands words for getting this all out.
I'm sorry for the rant I gave, but I really needed it out of my system.
Now for my story.
Like above, there will be a lot of references to the former Far Cry games and other ubi works. I would say the next one, but I don't think that Beast Tamer skill like Takkar will actually do a lot in this story.
Ajay laid down and let the silence get over him. He fell into a deep sleep. After all, he could use it. His energy was drained from last night.
Unfortunately, his sleep was disturbed by hard knocks on the door. Ajay shot awake while grunting. "Eh, what the fuck?" He shot a glance at his alarm clock and it was five pm. Meaning that school was over. Not that it actually mattered to him. He could skip the school.
"Ajay! Please, let me in." The male Kyrati pinched his nose. Ichika was in trouble. He could let the boy suffer, but he wasn't cruel. So, albeit reluctantly, Ajay moved to the room and opened the door. Ichika nearly jumped in his arms. Somewhere, Ajay was impressed that Ichika was busy crushing his spine.
The boy had some strength. If he could only use the right way.
"Ichika. What the fuck?" Because of the surprise, Ajay couldn't remain on his feet and fell down. He tried to get Ichika off him, but looked up and saw six girls with soulless eyes and it looked like there was energy around them.
If it wasn't for Ajay who saw scarier things, most man would have shitted themselves. "What is your idea? And could you let me go?" He gave a punch and sent him flying to the beds. Ajay stood up and looked pissed. Suddenly, those women who were eager to kill Ichika had the feeling they were the ones who were going to be killed.
Houki walked to him. "We demand you give Ichika to us." Ajay stood up, brushed his clothes of the dirt and walked to her. Before someone could react or even see, Houki was lifted up by her throat in a very uncomfortable grip. "Since when do you girls have the right to give me orders?" He looked over them.
If most men would have asked that question, women would have stepped on them like the dirt they were. But not Ajay. The girls knew better than to piss the man off. They knew what the man could do. And they didn't have to question his willingness to kill. Ajay threw Houki to the girls. Cecilia and Kanzashi couldn't get out the way. They were thrown out of the room. The remaining three.
Rin, Charlotte, and Laura looked at him. "Okay? Can you give me an explanation why you want to go after him?" Laura crossed her arms. "My wife has been unfaithful to me and needs to be punished. That's the way I learned it." Ajay looked dumbfounded and his mouth fell open. He looked to Ichika and back to Laura.
"I don't even want to know." 'Man, and I thought that child marriages were the worst things.' "The point is that you aren't married. One and two." Ajay cracked his knuckles. "What kind of justification is that? If you ask me, I don't think Ichika can be unfaithful because he just can't. As for your ideas. Get out. All of you."
Rin looked at him and made her arm transform to her Infinite Stratos arm. "I think I should show you." Before she could react, Ajay stepped out of the way. Like the girl, he made a partial deployment. In the form of his Kukri. He blocked her attack and with his free arm, he gripped her throat like Houki's.
After pinning her to the wall, he let the Kukri fall down and punched her two times. Once in the face and once in the stomach.
Rin lost conscious after that and fell down. Ajay took his Kukri back up and while taking the handle, he turned the blade pivot. He looked to Charlotte and Laura who were now seriously afraid. Kanzashi, Houki, and Cecilia were just in time to see Rin fall down.
Before everything else could happen, Ajay saw Ichika deploying some kind of light spear and he had just the time to block it. "Dude?" Ajay and Ichika were now struggling while their weapons clashed. "They tried to kill you." Ichika face was now really angry.
'Maybe he is something of a man.' Ajay thought. "I will not. I will not let you hurt my friends." Ajay looked up and down, seeing Ichika feet. The man got an idea. He kicked at Ichika's shin-bone, causing the first male pilot to drop his guard. Before he could react, Ajay punched him again, knocking him out. "Okay. Everyone else? Or do I really need to kill you?"
The women were first furious, but after that, they got scared by the things Ajay did. He punched out Rin and Ichika and he stopped Houki. They looked at each other and after that, they were attempting to leave. "Before you go, I have a question. What justifies it?"
The women looked dumbfounded. "What gives you girls the right to use such violence to Ichika? If you insulted him, that's one thing, but you girls, you lunatics, you idiots, use the most complex machine ever to date, to hurt him. What is the world goes in your head?"
The girls looked stupefied. "Well, we, eh." Cecilia attempted. "It's." More stammering gave Ajay a sigh. "Look. You girls are stupid. The points of weapons that you use to fight. You use for your own good. You use it to hurt Ichika with, just because you see something. Ichika has his problems, but you girls."
He pinched his nose with his index fingers. "You girls are just too stupid to think before acting. Do you really Ichika would do something indecent of his own will? Do you really think Ichika is a pervert? Given, he ends up in stupid situations, but most of the time, you girls or that cat in the heat or the woman you call homeroom teacher are responsible for it."
Ajay now slowly walked to them. "You really think, just because you have a link to Ichika, it's okay to use a weapon on him? I don't know how that boy survived. But I think you girls need a reality check as well. So think about it. I'm going to give him a talk." The girls left, with their heads down and their spirits broken.
Ajay just shook his head. He couldn't believe it. Even the Royal Army weren't such psychopaths like those girls. Using weapons just because Ichika got in something stupid, what's good for that? He looked to the boy and he pinched his nose.
"Hey, wake up. Yo, blockhead. Sleeping time is over." He gave the boys a few slaps until he woke up. "Eh, what? Where are my friends?" Ajay raised an eyebrow. "Really, after everything, you call them your friends?" Ajay stood up and went to sit on his bed.
Ichika took the other one. "Ichika, I'm not going to ask what happened, but I think you need your head a few times on the wall. First of all. Before I came here, you were the only male in this school. Don't you think some girls are interested in you romantically? You're the first male they saw in their lives. Don't you think they're in love with you?"
Ichika sighed and shook his head. "No, never thought about it." Ajay pinched his nose even more. "Look, as far as I can tell, those seven psycho's you got after you are in love with you. What I don't understand is that you call them friends, despite the horrible things they do to you." Ichika looked up. "What do you mean, Ajay?"
Ichika was disturbed by the eyes of him. "Ichika, they have tried and they have used their machines to hurt you. Do you think that's normal? If they are your friends, why would they do that? Oh, wait. You don't understand those girls are in love with you or do you understand?" Ichika shook his head.
Ajay face palmed. Oh, this guy was so stupid. "Ichika. Those girls are all in love with you. I don't know how, but you have managed to get those girls after you. You're the only male they can get after because I have made it very clear I don't want a GF of sixteen. That would be sick. And as for the rest. Stop thinking like you cannot hurt a woman. If they try to use their machines, defend yourself. I don't care if your sister told you not to. Do you want to live? Then you have to use your machine. Or tell those girls you don't want a GF!"
Ichika looked stupefied. "I don't get it. How did you know of those girls are in love with me? Besides, why do you even think that those girls are in love with me?"
"Because dense idiot, you can light up Kyrat with their signals. Think about the options you have. You can't make them all happy, and frankly, they don't deserve that. Neither does your older sister deserve the respect you show her. I don't care if she took after you after your parents left if that's the thing that happened. Your sister needs to treat with respect and as a student, fuck it. She isn't honest with you. She has secret she refuses to tell"
Ichika stood up and glared at Ajay. "Don't say I'm lying? How did your life improve after this? You met two old friends, knows where your sister is, made a few new friends, but you ended up with those girls all after you and a lot of violence on you. I don't get how you survived it despite the fact you have no spine." Ichika shot him a glare. "But you need to think about it. If you want to continue living this, much luck. If you don't use those words to think, I don't care. It's not all give and they can all take. If you want advice, come ask me." Ichika glared at him but left the room.
"I don't get you. Why did you help with this, but still, you used violence at me this morning?" Ajay walked to him.
"Ichika, I'll teach you the way I learned to fight. And I don't care if your IS has such a great sword. Humans traded swords for guns years ago. And if you want to fight the way your sister or Houki or whoever taught you, I'll let you know a thing. You won't survive a second on the fields I have been."
"What do you mean?"
Ajay shrugged. "Longinus, the man you saw this morning told me this. As soldiers, we protect our people and this what I added to it, us, by our willingness to kill. I have killed a lot of men Ichika. Some deserved it, some didn't. It doesn't matter. If you want to have a chance of the battlefields you're going to enter. Throw your ideas and ways."
Ichika walked to him. "You have no honour in you. No respect, no faith. You're a killer, a murderer, an assassin, a mercenary. You think you have the right to give me comments? On the fights, I have been. I had my friends who fought with me. And I will a find a way to show you wrong."
"And how are you going to do that? You know what Ichika. Never mind. Think about what I said. And do what you see fit." Ichika left the room. Ajay sighed.
This school was so fucking annoying. He got his cell phone ringing. "You called in the right moment."
"I guess you had a problem?" The male made a smile. "I don't get something. They say you are evil, but at the very least, you're reasonable. And you're the only person in this country that doesn't drive mad. And I'm glad for that. Something up?"
"Yes, I tracked a few diamonds. It wasn't easy, Ajay. My companions noticed I'm different than normal. But before we go on, they aren't easy to get it. They are in the hands of the Sarashiki who has been at war with us for years."
"You mean the family of the cat in the heat?" If Madoka could laugh, she was doing it right now. "You mean Tatenashi." Ajay made a grin. "Indeed. She is one. And I gave your brother and those girls after him a reality check. Man, they're stupid. But for the diamonds? Another time?"
Madoka sighed. "Maybe, last night wasn't too easy. Ajay, I have one thing to ask." The man had attention. "If I ever got into problems."
"I'll come to help you, Madoka. Promised. You know, the funny thing is, somehow, you remind me of Lakshmana."
"Who is that?" Madoka asked interestedly. "My little sister. She's dead. Don't worry about it, but you remind of her. But if you ever got problems, I'll help you out."
"Thanks, Ajay. We'll talk later. And hey, you're the only person who treated me like one." She closed off the call and Ajay sighed. He saw a good friend in Madoka and he began to see her as a little sister. His phone rang again and he took it.
"Ajay. Bro. Good to hear from you." Ajay let the phone fall down. Luckily, it was an old model, so it could withstand some damage. "Oh, no." When he realised Hurk was the one calling.
And that's my end for now. I just wanted to get something done before moving on. It was also a bit of a breather now. I really needed it before continuing.
As for the rant Ajay gave the girls and Ichika, it's an extension of last time I worked on it.
In the coming chapter, I'll reveal what Hurk will do and I'll work a bit on the way Madoka and Ajay will get along.
It won't be a romantic relationship as it would just wrong and two. It doesn't fit in my style to do.
For the rant I wrote above, it was just a few things I noticed and wanted to get out my system. That's all.
Still, I'm glad with the amount reviews, followers and favourites on the story. I'm really happy with it.
Saluut.
I have put a poll on my profile. Could you guys check it out? It has to do something with a new story.
