Welcome!
In a few moments, I will send you through a portal that leads to a world of my choice
I blinked several times to be sure if I was not hallucinating the text in front of me... I tried to turn my head to look around me, but it was useless, as much as I tried to move I could not achieve it.
But before we go, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. I need to determine what kind of person you are.
The world I plan to send you to will be full of challenges that you will have to solve, you will experience all kinds of emotions, joy, sadness, anger, bitterness, injustice.
Your character will make a big difference in the world, you see. That is why I want to understand you; I would rather give you the shape that best suits the true nature of your soul.
I was really lost, I did not know what was happening and I was not liking it, travel to a new world? This was beginning to take on a resemblance to Isekai's cliche stories. Anyway, can I deny this transfer? I am honestly very happy with my life in my world. I had a family that loved me, I was studying at the university currently in my second year.
Why was it in this place? Has died? I was very sure that was still alive ... I tried to remember the last thing I had done before being in this dark room without the option of being able to move any muscles, but try as I could, I couldn't remember. I was starting to get scared about my situation.
So, let's get started. Don't overthink each question; just trust your instincts. You will know how to choose wisely.
Could I feel something warm inside my soul? I don't know what was happening to me, but something told me that I would have to answer the questions as honestly as possible. I just hope I'm not wrong about this.
First ... Do you often feel disappointed in yourself?
Sometimes ... especially when I've done something wrong.
Do you usually wish you could start all over again?
No, I would not start anything again ... because the mistakes I have made me the person I am today ... but at the bottom of my heart I know that I want to start again.
When you discover that you have failed an important task that was assigned to you, do you get angry? Or cry Or maybe you shrug your shoulders?
I get angry ... but ... only with myself ... I also don't let people see that side.
So, should you value their opinions about you?
No ... I don't care what other people think ... the only ones I value their opinion are the people who are important to me.
I understand. Now tell me something else: Do you ever do favors for people, even when they don't ask for them? Or you find yourself avoiding work even when youask?
It depends on the favor that people ask me, if it is something that is within my reach then I try to help ... but I try to avoid most of the difficult or problematic favors.
I see ... then I'll switch to less personal questions ... Got it?
When you have to take an exam, what do you do?
I study hard enough until I am confident that I will pass the exam.
Do you have the ability to concentrate?
Yes, but ... most of the time I lose focus due to social frivolities...
You go down the street and you find cash on the ground, what do you do?
I look around ... then I pretend I'm trying my shoelaces ... to put it in my pocket ... I wouldn't know whose money it would be anyway.
Your summer vacation begins! Where do you like to go?
I honestly don't care ... as long as I enjoy the trip.
A foreigner starts talking to you. It turns out that you don't understand anything he says. What do you say?
I would start making gestures ... so that I conclude that I do not understand.
Now let's talk about someone other than yourself ... how do you think others see you? Do you have close friends or just formal acquaintances?
I have some friends ... but not too many.
And these friends ... do you see them as enduring and unconditional companions? Or are they ... a little more distant than that?
The few that I have ... are very close ... but I think we are starting to go our separate ways
So do you believe in fate? Or do you think you choose your own path in life?
I'm not really sure ... I've never thought that I've been destined to achieve anything ... I just live my life the way I want to ... for when I look back I have no regrets.
I'm starting to see what kind of person you are. Let me ask you a few more questions...
Are you an adventurer? Do you enjoy trying new things and venturing to new places? Or do you prefer to stay in the comfort of your home?
I'd rather stay in the comfort of my home ... So I don't think I'm adventurous ... I'm more of the type that tends to enjoy doing frivolities in my room.
So would you call yourself shy?
No, I think I'm more of the silent type
Do you feel less shy when you are with your friends? Do you think you can open up to some of the people around you?
Yes. I act like a completely different person when I am with my friends.
Now for the last question. What do you think of the world as a whole?
I have never asked myself that kind of question in my life ... but if we talk about my thoughts I would say that the world ... is balanced.
Balanced in what way?
Well, for the world to function, it needs good and evil ... humans by nature are selfish ... even a good person is selfish in their own way ... That is why I believe that the world cannot function if only the bad or if only good existed.
I see ... I think I understand what you mean, so now I must see what color your soul is ... so relax.
Let go and trust me ...
...
...
It does. Your Soul ... is of flaming Gold.
Gold?
Yes, and a very special Gold. it is a striking gold, shimmering ... like the shine of the sun ... A gold that does not fade, no matter how much you try to tarnish it.
...
As for you ... I have considered all your answers carefully and see what kind of person you are. You're the Placido type.
Placid? What do you mean?
You ... are a quiet person. You are informal and have few worries, you prefer to avoid problems by putting distance from others ... when you are with your friends you like to compete, but when you lose you tend to get angry ... you also tend to listen carefully and understand things quickly
...
There is the fire that burns within you, something that you have always known is there, but you have been afraid, or perhaps you have not been able, to let it shine.
Yes ... your character ... will be Kuro by servamp
What ?! ... What is that supposed to mean ... Who is that?
Now. I will erase all traces of this conversation ... You will enter a new world, Don't worry I have made all the arrangements, This is a new beginning so show them what you are made of.
Wait! ... you haven't answered my questions ... hey, don't ignore me
My eyes had involuntarily closed. When I opened them again the views that I hope would describe it as fictitious or unreal. There was a natural stone door in front.
I could also observe how several students were passing through the door, but that was not the worrying thing ... What worried me was that I recognized too much the place where I was currently.
.
.
.
Advanced Nurturing High School
A school created by the Japanese government that aims to educate young people to be the future pillars of society.
.
.
.
What the hell?!
This couldn't be real. A person doesn't just blink and find himself stranded in a completely different location than he was, This was not an anime ... My heart started racing, my throat felt dry ... I was on the verge of going into a panic attack.
I bit my tongue very hard so my mind would focus on the pain instead of my chaotic thoughts.
I had to calm down ... panicking won't solve anything.
I started walking towards the door, then crossed it as I looked around at the different students who were entering ... I looked down and was amazed that my clothes had also been changed in a snap of fingers.
They were the same school uniform that everyone was wearing.
Now we think with the little tranquility that I have left ... a few seconds ago I was in my world, then after a blink, I find myself in the world of Classroom Of The Elite ... Is this a kind of dream? I didn't really believe it. When I bit my tongue I could feel pain, which meant that my nervous system sent the message to my brain.
I touched the pockets of my pants and I could feel something in the right back pocket, I used my hand to pull the object out and my eyes widened a little when they saw that it was a wallet.
Check its content, there was not much beyond a few yen ... but what mattered most at this time was the identification document for minors ... which had my date and place of birth, State, Profession, and what more importantly the name ... Hiroki Nakatomi.
¿What kind of name is that Also, what about the image in the photo? It has no resemblance to me ... Wait, I feel that something important is missing as if I had forgotten something.
I shook my head as I put the ID and my wallet back in my right back pocket. I had to make a plan so that I can get my bearings.
If I'm in this school in the same uniform, That means I'll have three years to solve the mystery. I had to avoid the expulsion of everything, if I got expelled I would not have a place to go ... therefore I would live in the streets until I starved because I did not have enough money or I would become a vagabond who was asking alms to survive.
I refuse to let that happen.
1- I would have to find out what day and date we are ... I have to know the difference in years between my world and the world of the classroom of the elite.
2- Find out information about this world ... in case there is a difference in the years of our worlds that means, that their culture and history may be different ... Shit! Now that I think about it there was a Japanese culture class ... I didn't know much about their culture so I would have to start reading right now.
3- Avoid drawing attention for the moment ... I cannot act recklessly, to which many would be dancing with joy and crying with happiness for being in a fictional world that was not my case ... I have watched anime, read manga and light novels, but that doesn't mean you've wanted to go to any of those places.
I knew that the first volume of the classroom of the elite had been released on May 25, 2015, in Japan ... I discovered it out of mere curiosity and the date stuck in my memory ... I also knew that the anime premieres in 2017, but I wasn't sure exactly when.
I vaguely remember that the first of May was where Chabashira-Sensei had relieved Class D that all the points they had obtained on the first day were reduced to zero points due to their bad behavior or as Chabashira-Sensei likes to say that they lost all the points because they are just trash, the worst of the worst.
Anyway, I had to check what year I was in. So I got closer to the closest student I had.
"Hello, Excuse me" I called to get the attention of the female student "This one, do you know what day it is today?" I asked him while doing my best to be respectful to her. I didn't know much about Japan, but at least I could give it a try with my knowledge of anime, manga.
By the way, why do all women look like models of beauty? I mean practically all the women that I have seen in this school are beautiful. Not that I am complaining, but I thought that at least I was going to find a woman who does not show such beauty.
"It's Wednesday" she replied bowing her head, I didn't know who she was, so the only thing that made sense is that she was a minor character.
"I know, but the date of the day" was a lie, I didn't know it was Wednesday, I didn't have a cell phone to find out what year I was. I gave him a nervous smile as I waited for her answer.
"April 1st?" She said it in a questioning tone, but it wasn't because she didn't know the date ... but she was confused that I didn't know the date we are currently on.
"Thank you," I said with a somewhat forced smile as I leaned in a little. I didn't know if I was doing well or mishandling Japanese culture, but it doesn't matter.
I quickly separated from the nameless woman so that I could follow the other students towards the building they were heading into. I sighed frustrated ... I wanted to know what year I am currently in, but I couldn't walk up to someone and say "Hey, do you know what year it is?" No, I definitely couldn't do that I could look like a freak.
Also, I have read several fanfictions about classrooms of the elite, I knew that the people of this world were very gossipy. My reputation could suffer if I do something stupid.
I had a lot on my mind right now. If I could describe my mind with one word it would be chaotic.
My thoughts went out when the assembly hall came into view. Outside there was a sign that said "Entrance Ceremony." Once I entered there was no going back, this would be my new life. I would officially be a student of this prestigious school.
What will happen once I enter? I had no idea, but there was only one way to find out.
I was currently bored.
Why do all entrance ceremonies have to be like this? Good heavens someone please get me out of my suffering ... I don't know who was the person who created the entrance ceremonies, but if for some reason of fate I find him then he deserves a punch in the face for making him so boring... I sighed about the fourth time since entering the assembly hall.
At first, I wanted to distract my chaotic mind with anything, so I thought that the entrance ceremony could give me what I was looking for.
I was too wrong.
I looked around to see who were the characters that I could recognize, There were so many people that I could only identify some of Class D, such as Kushida Kikyō, Nene Mori, Chiaki Matsushita ... there were others that I recognized from other classes, but not I was going to mention them one by one.
Anyway, I tried to see if you could find Ayanokōji Kiyotaka. In the end, I couldn't find him among the bunch of students who were at the ceremony.
Ayanokōji was one of my favorite characters in the anime world. Another character who was one of my favorite characters was Levi Ackerman. Now that I think about it ... I thank whatever God sent me here. That at least I was in a peaceful world or at least similar to my world. If I had been sent to Attack on Titan I doubted I would have survived too long.
A twinge of irritation came to me suddenly. What happened to all the people in this world? Most were attractive people and others seemed athletic or muscular ... Which was a serious blow to my self-esteem. I didn't consider myself ugly, In fact, I was a little better than average ... But these people leave me behind my looks.
Anyway, my appearance and my body had also changed ... I didn't even know what my face looked like ... So how did I know that I looked different?
The answer is easier than many would believe. Due to my height.
As pitiful as the answer sounds, I wasn't very tall even at the age of nineteen, I was barely 164 centimeters (5.4 feet) tall ... It was kind of weird to be taller than my previous body, But it wasn't that bad
So how could it be so low? ... I didn't know, Maybe it was because I never liked vegetables, but I guess I'll have to get used to eating them.
After a while, the boring ceremony had ended. Fortunately, they had given us an hour off so that we could eat. Could watch the students start to leave.
What should I do? Should I go to my room or should I go eat, I honestly wanted to go to my room, but I didn't know where I was and this place was huge. I could easily get lost.
I guess I'll get something to eat and wait until my school cell phones are delivered.
I had to follow the students who were heading towards the cafeteria, I could see that most of them were starting to make their group friends ... I am usually an antisocial person who prefers to keep things to myself, but when I make a friend he acted a little different.
When I got to the cafeteria I had to stand in line to buy my food. When I got to the front to order a problem arose.
I did not know what was the content of each meal on the menu.
I had no idea what was carrying, although I was surprised that could read Japanese so easily. I don't give it too much importance. It was one of the mysteries of life that I can never solve. I could only assume that it was due to divine power. So the menu, unfortunately, did not bring any description of the content that people would ask for. just the name of said food.
I had to solve this problem.
So I asked for the cheapest. We had to pay with yen because we didn't have the points yet which was logical. Once I had finished paying and getting my food I turned around to find a place to sit.
I had another problem.
Where was I supposed to sit? When did it fill up so fast? Damn, most of the tables were occupied by a group of people or a lonely person who hadn't made friends yet or liked being alone.
After searching for a while I was able to find a table with no one seated. It was located in the corner of the cafeteria. I sighed in relief as I sat down on my seat.
I put my tray on the table and could finally see what I had bought.
It was rice, with some meat and vegetables. I did not know what kind of meat it was, but it looked appetizing. These were the legendary anime foods? When I looked at the food in the anime that I had watched it always made me hungry. Unfortunately, the foods I could eat in my world never looked that good or smelled good.
This was something he had always wanted to say.
"Itadakimasu," I said out loud as I clasped my hands in prayer mode.
Grab the chopsticks that came next to the plate
.
.
.
Wait, how was I supposed to eat with these chopsticks ?! Shit! What do I do now? Should I order forks? No, that would make me a freak, or worse they would laugh at me.
My eye twitched due to the situation I was in, I wanted to grab the hairs on my head as I screamed in frustration, but I couldn't do it at least not in a crowded place like the cafeteria.
Speaking of crowds, I looked around ... I knew I was forgetting something, No one was wearing or wearing a mask. That must have been obvious to my mind, but I had gotten used to having it on and looking at other people with them that it felt a bit strange to look at people with such nonchalance.
It doesn't matter looking on the bright side. There was no pandemic in this world.
Anyway, this was not the reason why I had looked around, or at least not the whole reason ... The reason why I was observing other people is to see them observe how they use chopsticks.
Unfortunately for me, it didn't help me at all.
I focused my eyes on my food again, then sighed in frustration. What should I do? I didn't have much time, they had barely given us an hour. Nor did have a watch nearby so did not know how much time had passed.
The best option would be to leave my food untouched, perhaps someone from an older class who had no point to afford to buy these foods would end up eating them. Never know maybe they were lurking looking at who was abandoning their food. Hungry people could eat anything ... Well at least in my world.
I chuckled remembering a certain character who was nicknamed the potato girl or better known as Sasha Blouse, She was the right person I needed for this situation.
I shook my head, pushing away any silly thoughts. I did not know what to do was against the sword and the wall.
You know that fuck everything.
I got up from my seat before starting to look for the cafeteria exit without having touched the food. I had to put up with hunger right now. After I would take a look at YouTube-san, I was one hundred percent sure that I could find a tutorial and practice at some point. In the meantime, I would not eat in the cafeteria.
After a while, I was able to find the classroom that located me. According to the paper that I had found in my wallet, it said "You will be in Class D ... I expect great things from you" then next to it was my real name written.
Swallow I hope I don't get too much attention from anyone.
Oh friend, how wrong I was.
