-A few days later-

The silence, is nice….

I was lying on a bed, inside a room Issin told me I could use. Staring at the ceiling. As for Isshin himself? He has been locked up in his lab. Which is a good thing to be honest. Because…

-5 days ago-

"Run faster!" Isshin shouts right at my ear with a megaphone as I keep sprinting on a treadmill inside the lab, several cables attached to my head….

"I can't run faster!" I shout back.

"Run faster!" Isshin shouts again...

"I can't run faster!" I shout back again.

"RUUUUN!" He shouts as he punches the speed increase button on the treadmill...

"I CAAAAAAA!" Was all I managed to say as the speed spun me upside down and jettisoned me off to the wall behind me...

-3 days ago-

"You swim like a grandma!" Isshin shouted as he sat on the corner of a small pool filled with liquid.

"You have weights on my legs!" I shouted back...

"You swim like a grandma!" Isshin shouts again…

"I'm still fully clothed! I shout again.

"You swim like a, GRANDMA!" Isshin yells yet again as he tosses a sack filled with something on me. Causing me to get submerged...

" I BRGLIEEE! EEEAAAA! This isn't freegin water!" I yell back.

-1 day ago-

"Move fridge there." Isshin commanded while scratching his beard with a thoughtful expression.

"Done." I sigh.

"I don't like it there, move it to the left!" Isshin yells with a nod.

"...D...done…" I groan.

"Still looks bad! Take it back to where it was." Isshin shakes his head in disappointment…

"...D…...D..one.." I wheeze as I leave the fridge down yet again.

"Alright, now it's time for your training. Don't be late." Isshin nods as he casually turns to walk away….

"Whaaaaaa…." Was all I managed to say...

-Some time ago-

"You look like a half-baked dumpling! Take these and start training by yourself as well! Science needs you to be at top condition!" Isshin exclaimed as he shoved two relatively heavy dumbbells on me….

-Now-

"I, hate, training…" I groan as I get off the bed.

"Can't I just, get plot shield and get overpowered or something?..." I chuckle as I get up.

"At least most of the stuff Isshin told me to read about were stuff I already know, like information about Goku uniforms, life fibers, how they affect a host. But the physical training, Ughh…" I shake my head as I finish speaking.

"Uhh, ok, let's stay focused. I've already got one wildcard to deal with. What with the life fibers going all weird when introduced to my system…" I whisper as I head to the table and pick the dumbbells.

"Still, does this mean I can wear a kamui?" The moment I asked that, I got a really, REALLY bad image in my head. You know, what with Kamui's essentially being uhh, hentai levels of revealing…

"...Nope, not happening…" I shiver as I walk back to the bed, sit on it, and turn to look at the window to my right. Did I also mention I was on the second floor? While the room itself was bare-bones, it had a bed, a desk, and a window right next to the bed. The view out the window was pretty good, I could see the house's side yard, and well, sea, along with that long ass bridge bending over the horizon.

"Welp, let's see how long we can last…" I let out a deep sigh as I started doing some bicep curls, because honestly, it was the 'easiest' thing to do…

-5 minutes later-...

"..." I was flat on the bed, unmoving…

"...I'm, so doomed…" I groan as I let out a deep breath.

I get to a sitting position and my eyes…

"And he said something about, running today?" I groan again as I get up.

"Uhh, I really want to stop. But, this will bite me back in the ass if I skip it, won't it." I whisper as I turn to look at the dumbbells.

(You know it would be even worse if I end up meeting Ryuko and she wipes the floor with my ass. Seeing that she was very aggressive at the start of the anime. And I'm working with her dad now. Sooo, since the way I am now I have absofuckinglutly no chance of beating that crazy-ass bitch Nui, it means that Isshin is bound to kick the bucket. And if Ryuko finds out I knew her dad...)

I shiver slightly as I sit my ass back down, and take the dumbbells again...

(Ok me, time to get shit done. At least having my mind occupied with this crap keeps me from thinking about the fact that I'm, well. Here.)

I steel myself, and start training again…

-...2 minutes later…-

"Nope, I, give. Call, somebody else, to be a hero, I'm going to, expire, here…" I groan, flat on the floor…

Just as I finished groaning. The door opens. Isshin on the other side.

"What exactly are you doing…." He asks as he keeps staring at me.

"Giving up on life…" I respond from the floor as I lift my finger towards the ceiling.

"...You give up too fast kid!" Isshin exclaims as he folds his arms.

"But your refusal hinders my progress, I simply can't accept this." He adds.

"Hmm, you need motivation. Yes." He says to himself as he turns around.

"...Should I be scared?..." Was the only thing I managed to whisper before bumping my hand on the floor again…

(Is it too late to join the naked beach and get a safe deskjob?...)

I slap my cheeks as I get to a sitting position.

(No, you chose this path, no backing down now you retard.)

I take a deep breath and get up.

"But still, what's the worse he could do…" I ask myself…

-Next day, early in the morning…-

"And so, I want you to take him in your class as a student." Isshin motions with his head towards me as he sat on his couch...

"Are you sure? No start students with no Goku uniforms tend to have a, really bad time there" Aikuro responds with a loud yawn while sitting on the opposite couch.

"That's what I'm counting on. I also want to see how his body will react to Goku uniforms." Isshin retorts with a serious expression.

"I just told you, no stars can't wear goku uniforms." Aikuro continues.

"He does not need to 'wear' one." Isshin shrugs slightly.

"So you mean get my ass beat by one..." I mumble. Isshin didn't answer, but, i'm pretty sure that is what he meant…

"Uhh, I don't know Isshin, it seems unnecessary." Aikuro sighs as he glances at me.

"Are you absolutely sure that will give you the data you need?" I ask as I turn to look at Isshin.

"It will give me more data than what we have now." He responds.

"Fine, fuck it, let's do it." I groan as I throw both hands up.

"Good. Now get out of my house, I got research to do." Isshin gets up and shoos me and Aikuro with his hand. Before turning to leave the room.

"Kid, you're nuts." Aikuro sighs as he turns to look at me.

"You've seen nothing yet. Just have an ambulance ready." I chuckle as I turn to leave the house.

"Uhh, if you say so. Come on kid, I'll drive you there. Otherwise, you'll be late." Aikuro motions with his head.

And so, we exit the house, and right outside, inside the side yard of the house, Aikuro's car...

"This thing really looks like a firebird fused with a Ferrari two hundred fifty…" I whisper.

"A what?" Aikuro asks as he goes to the driver's side and opens the car's door.

"Uhh. Nothing." I respond as I open the passenger door and enter the car.

(...Wait a minute…)

"Wait, you said we'll barely make it in time. Yet the sun is not even out yet. What time does this school start at?" I ask.

"Seven." Aikuro responds flatly as he turns on the engine and switches to reverse.

I turn to look at my watch…

"It's still six!" I yell as Aikuro enters the highway...

"Really?! Oh shit! We better hurry up!" He yells back as he plainly put, steps on it.

"Are you for real?! One hour?! By car?!" I yell again as I turn to stare at him...

"How the hell I'm gonna do this distance on foot…" I groan as I turn to look at the road through my window…

"Ehh." Aikuro just shrugged.

"At least, the highway goes all the way to the top." I sigh as I look at the island that was slowly growing bigger.

"Oh, we're not driving that far up." Aikuro responds casually.

"Scuse me?" I ask as I turn to him.

"I'll leave you by the slums, take the tram from there. I can't just drive up the school with this babe. I'm supposed to be a poor teacher after all. Just wait for me in the same place you first met me, I'll take it from there." Aikuro chuckles.

"Uhh, fair nuff." I shrug.

-40 minutes later-

I was now standing by the tram station. Which was cluttered with students, all in their uniforms and school bags.

(Did I ever mention how much I do not like school? I already passed that nightmare once. Now I got to do it again? Ughh…)

Trams were coming and going at a steady pace, yet the mass of students did not seem to decrease…

As for me, I was sitting in the corner, waiting. Hell knows I was not going to get into a stuffed tram with thirty other poor sods.

I must have been checking the students that moved about for quite some time, all in the same gray uniform, until. I saw one that stuck out like a sore thumb, mostly because her outfit was not the same as the rest. Also, she had a croquette in her mouth.

(Hmm? Is that Mako?)

Yet as soon as I saw her, she disappeared inside the parked, packed tram…

(Oh well, whatever. Keep focused. You're not here too goof off with pretty girls. No matter how nice that sounds. Though more than half of em would probably outright beat me back to my old dimension. I mean, think of it for a sec, Ruiko? Satsuki? Nonon? Omiko? These just come on the top of my head, and each and every one of them would probably yeet somebody as much as look at them. And then we got the total fucking nutjobs, them being Nui and Ragyo. I'm not even gonna bother analyzing them. They'd just outright kill me. Then molest my corpse...)

I take a deep breath and focus back on the students…

(Thankfully for me, all of the above will just ignore me, as long as I don't stick out. So the question is. Whatever Isshin is doing. Will it make me stick out? On one side, it could give me the 'tools' to stand my ground. On the other hand, what's the point of standing your ground if your foe can just rip the ground along with you?)

With my arms folded, I close my eyes.

(I also need to figure out what I'll do when Nui comes for blood. I mean if you think about it. Even a maxed-out Ryuko didn't manage to kill her. So If she pops up as I am now? Yea I'm gonna be deader than dead. Plus if she does see me with Isshin, I'm going to be prime target number one. And last thing I need is that crazy Milf breathing down my neck twenty-four seven.)

I sigh as I open my eyes, glancing towards the tram once again. The students seemed to have decreased enough for me to enter a tram without turning into a packed sardine.

(So, let's get some basics straight.

One, I am not strong enough to do what Ryuko can or will do.

Two, I can probably not save Isshin.

Three, if the big bad boss grows an interest in me. I'm doomed.

Four, I need to think before I act, based on the anime the good guys win. So the more I interfere, the bigger the chance crazy ass mom wins and turns us all to gimp suits.)

I enter the tram along with another couple of students as I keep thinking.

(Now, for the more 'now' problems.

First, if Isshin's house turns into charcoal, I'll need a place to stay. My best bet, is to somehow manage to turn into a one star, as they have a pretty nice apartment to stay in.

As long as I don't have to cut my hair into a bowl cut and look like every other one-star s.o.b.)

I let out a very muffled chuckle as leaned on the tram's short wall, and turned to look outside.

(Other than that, life's good. I'm just stuck in a planet where clothes can kill you. I'm going to go to a school where you can get hanged naked by the entrance till your soul leaves your very body. And the power level of some individuals can scale up to space flight without protective gear and regeneration from 'any' type of damage...)

I sigh as I shake my head.

(How the fuck did I end up in this mess…)

-15 minutes later-

The rusty tram comes to a full stop, and the students quickly move outside, and straight towards the building's tall entrance. Next to said entrance, Aikuro, looking as plain as ever.

(Welp, here we go. And here they told me that you get a 'First day at school' only once in your life. I call bullshit…)

I take a deep breath and exit the tram, then head straight towards Aikuro.

"Teacher." I speak up as I close into him. Aikuro just nods and turns to enter the school's grounds. I just silently followed behind him.

"Question, will I be getting a no-star uniform as well? Or are they not mandatory?" I ask.

"You better get one, unless you want to stand out and attract attention on you." Aikuro responds without looking at me.

"And you don't want to stand out." He continues.

"Also, you don't seem to have any other clothes other than these. Do you?" He adds.

"What makes you think that?" I ask.

"Because you are still wearing them?" He responds flatly.

"...Yea fine whatever…" I sigh as I put my hands in my pockets…

And just I finish that sentence, we move past the towering entrance, and into the giant field.

(Damn, they always showed this place to be big. But it's fucking humongous.)

"Follow me, and don't attract attention." Aikuro motions his head as he keeps talking.

(Sure sure, it's not like both your nudist friends and Satsuki are working towards a common goal. Shame I can't just outright say it. Because both outcomes I can think of would be horrible. As Ragyo knows of the nudists, thus, if Satsuki is caught working with them. That's one early game over. And if they don't believe me, well, nothing will change, other than me getting hanged or something.)

With that, me and Aikuro headed to the center of the field, where the whole school seemed to be present. Or at least the number of students and the noise they generated seemed to prove so…

(Hmm, I see both one starts and zero stars here…)

Just as I say that, I something strongly shoved my right shoulder from behind, which honestly almost caused me to fall flat on the ground...

(The fuck?!...)

I quickly turn to my right, to see a thin, tall man with a Japanese pompadour, looking all swag. His uniform was with two small stars on the collar.

Without even as much looking at me, he went on, towards the front part of the mass.

"Fewww, for a minute there I thought you'd pick a fight." I hear Aikuro sigh.

"He was wearing a two-star uniform, was he not?" I ask in a low tone.

"Biker club president, Botan Okaro." Aikuro responds.

(Hmm, so there are two stars the anime did not show. Yeeeyyyy….)

And before I could even turn to look ahead.

The bell rang. All the students quickly scurry to get in line.

(Here we go.)

Without much of a choice, I did the same.

(So what, now the big boss shows up and I need to lick the ground?)

Much to my surprise though, no wild Satsuki appeared, nor did the student council. And so, without losing time, the students started to head towards the main building.

"Follow me." Aikuro, who was right in front of me whispered. I just nodded.

After entering the main building, the sea of students started to spread out towards different staircases, me? I just followed mister pink nipples. Until finally, he turned away from the sea of students towards a hallway nobody went to.

He glance behind him to make sure I was with him, before turning to walk again.

"As you are a no star, we can take a normal uniform without much of a hustle." He says as he motions me to follow him.

We then kept moving for a few minutes, until we reached a normal-looking door that Aikuro stopped in front of. The label 'storage' over it.

He knocked on it a couple of times, and as the door opened, a rather, fat guy popped up from behind. A bored look on his face, the big black star shape on the center of his uniform signaling that he was a one-star student.

"Hello. I need a non-star uniform, bag and books for this kid." Aikuro points at me while looking at the fat guy behind the door.

Said guy glanced at me, made a rather annoyed grimace, and disappeared into the room. Only to appear several seconds later, and throw a bag towards my face...

I casually catch the bag and turn to look at it.

(Grumpy guy is grumpy. Welp, now I'm officially a student here i guess...)

"Tha…" Before Aikuro could finish, the fat guy loudly closed the door.

"..nks…" Aikuro lets out a small sigh before turning to me.

"Well then, time to head towards our class. There is a bathroom near it, you can change there." Aikuro starts to move again as he speaks.

(Surprised he didn't tell me to change here and now…)

With that though, we started moving down the hallways again.

(Well so far so g…)

"You two there! What are you doing outside of class! And where is your uniform?!" A very loud voice booms from behind me….

( I spoke too soon…)

"Oh crap…" Aikuro whispers as he slowly turns around.

And behind us, nonother than big boy Gamagory. Looking as big and imposing as ever. Who, with a couple of big steps, was right up my face.

"Where is your uniform student! Losing school property is a punishable Offence! " He shouted. Did I mention he was right up my face? Which...

"Right here, sir. I just enrolled. I was heading to the bathroom to change. " I respond as I keep a straight face, lifting the bag for him to see.

And right as Gamagory was about to open his mouth, loud, running footsteps. A student zipped past the hallway on the far end, towards the direction I was facing. Gamagory shifted to look behind me, his angry frown turning even, angrier.

"No running in the hallways maggot!" He shouted as he quickly sprint towards the connecting hallway.

(...Damn that guy is hyper…)

"...Well, I'm impressed. Most people don't even have the guts to speak to the student council, let alone explain themselves without pissing themselves." Aikuro turns to glance at me with both his eyebrows arched.

"The student council normally patrols the hallways?" I ask as I pass my bag over my shoulder.

"They don't. We just got really, really unlucky. Now let's go, before you attract even more attention." Aikuro turns to walk, this time at a quicker pace.

(...Well, my ears are still ringing…)

It didn't take too long to reach the classroom door. A big, oval metal door with a valve on the center…

(Huh, I forgot that the classroom doors look like friggin 'submarine doors. Then again, this building 'is' in truth a giant ass mecha)

"The bathroom is behind you to your left. Go change" Aikuro speaks up as he points behind me.

"Oh, one last thing." He adds as I turn around.

"Name, need one for the papers. You never told me yours." He continues.

"Sir dies-alot." I answer with a flat tone.

"...One that is not going to get you expelled and shoot off the island with a cannon." Aikuro answers, seemingly not amused.

(Oh well, video game naming moment time.)

"Uhh, Naier." I shrug.

"Naier what? You don't have a surname?" Aikuro folds his arms as he groans.

"Naier Rian." I shrug...

"You just thought of this on the spot? Uhh, whatever you look like a foreigner, so, guess it's fine. Go ahead, I'll wait..." Aikuro motions me to leave.

(I was going to say Naier Reian, but if somebody found it's just the same name upside down I'd probably get in needless trouble...)

And some without responding, I went to change…

You know, the most surprising thing I have experienced today, was not meeting a bunch of anime characters, it was not a weird-ass highway that for all rime and reason should not be able to stand, Hell it was not the fact that I came to terms that I'm in a world where I might get eaten by a friggin suit. Nope, the weirdest thing was, how damn nice the bathroom smelled. I'm not kidding, it was not that it didn't smell, which would be surprising on its own, it was that it smelled, friggin, nice...

After quickly changing inside the bathroom, I look myself in the mirror…

(Damn man, you look like a frigging charcoal eraser…)

I chuckle as I leave the bathroom. And walk up to a waiting Aikuro...

"Alright, come on." He turns around and opens the heavy ass door, leaving it open as he heads to the teachers desk. Me? I stayed outside, next to the door, though I could see the first couple of lines of students. Most of them looking bored out of their mind, while others where staring at me like I'm some sort of alien.

"Good morning class, before we begin today, I'd like you to welcome uhh, Nafier. Rian." Aikuro fixes his glasses as he turns to look at me.

(Kill my name more next time…)

I take a deep breath, and enter the class…

"Before anything else, my name is not uhh Nafier, it's Naier. " I speak up as I stop next to the teachers desk, staring straight towards Aikuro. A couple of chuckles sounded off from the class.

"Uh, yes,yes." Aikuro, acting ever casual, just turns to look to his book.

"You can sit at…" Just as he continues I turn to look at the class, where now I was the center of attention. All five rows of students staring at me.

(Too much spotlight, me don't like.)

Well, almost the center of attention, as a certain Mako, was fast asleep on her desk.

"You can sit at..."

"Last seat on the second row." I continue. Aikuro glances at the empty desk, then just nod.

(It's funny, but since I have essentially done all this before, I don't feel embarrassed or anxious. Or it's because there's a good chance Isshin will demand that I join a damn club and get my ass beat so this feels inconsequential…)

With that though, I start walking between the rows.

"Uhh, Ok…" Aikuro then turns a few pages in his book.

"Now would you open your books to page thirty six." He adds as he fixed his fake glasses.

(Is it weird that I reflexively kept an eye for anybody that might try to trip me? Paranoid much?)

I breathe out through my nose as take a seat, then, open my bag and then look through the books.

(Uhh, page thirty six on what book…)

I glance around me, and see everybody with a book that had several numbers on the cover.

(Math? My favorite, six and nine is sixty-nine after all.)

I grab my own math book, open it to the corresponding page, and….

(...Yea, I'm not going to pay attention. I got more important things to think about.)
