Chapter 2 First Flight, First Fight

Sage. London, Military Hangar. Hour after Post-Test, July, 10

Firstly, The boy is a natural flier. Feels like he has been flying all his life.

Secondly, Detected multiple weird readings and energy spikes in electric circuits and had to change lots of electronic equipment to quantum analogs after the test. Changed electronic co-processors to s analogs from R&D storage. Also, will have to do something about radar and sensor arrays, they burned to a crisp or were non-responsive. Not that Harry uses them, it's like he feels the opponent without using the Hyper Sensor, but I will need to see everything around him in order to adapt to his combat skills. Medium range, low energy LIDAR should work better next time, paired with manned targeting lasers for long-range combat. But what about other sensors?

Quantum devices are a completely different story, however. Somehow some of them are working faster and the quantum booster went into overdrive right after the opponent's near hit.

Propulsion and hard light materialization are different issues, however. Detected work of engines at 130% for one of the evasion moves and I was not manually overclocking it. Next time, when I tried to get us higher, the engine only reached 64%. Both times felt like I was not in direct control.

Strange reaction from supposedly offline ECG: it somehow influenced a deployed cannon making it temporarily defective, but at the same time my deployed shield stopped the enemy sword almost without taking any damage.

ECG itself was not allowed in this battle, so can't say what to expect from hexagon-shield, energy grenades, illusions, or any other ECG-created utilities. I'm afraid the pilot will affect ECG in some dangerous way.

Still, there is no doubt in my mind that Harry is the best. Even with low shields and no training, he managed to evade Chifuyu Orimura, winner of the competition for a complete 20 minutes.

Formed another report. Looks like Tabane wanted me in the boy's possession no matter what. The research facility representative signed top-secret documents without questions. Looks like they already received something else. The fact that I'm a failed experiment and that nobody will search for my records is an advantage. Of course, I received orders to load research equipment instead of Presets and Neural Link along with the Neural Scanner instead of Hyper Sensor, while at the same time having to block numerous 'offense' functions.

It also seems like there is something wrong with the radio communication device.? The network range should be 20 times bigger!

Harry Potter. Testing area. Test. July, 10

Flying felt great. He felt secure, safe, and most importantly of all, free.

Even a certain Mondo Grosso champion could not change this. The great view of a rainforest from above and fixed vision were helping a lot. Harry felt some kind of inner peace and union up in the sky.

Unfortunately, Harry Potter needed to win or at least keep intact as long as humanly possible to be able to experience these feelings in the future. He needed to qualify as a potential pilot. He cannot lose this chance. Losing is not acceptable. And so, he deployed a cannon.

Chifuyu Orimura. Arena. Post-Test. July, 10

This should have been a normal test - evaluate the ability and then put the candidate a few pegs down. It would have done no good to wipe the floor with the boy just because he is not accustomed to insane speeds and acceleration, so I reduced most of the parameters and prepared for battle. Testing any normal candidate who never knew combat, or any from of training should have been a piece of cake in my opinion. But there was one mistake in my judgment.

This boy is anything but normal.

I had no such problems before the longest duel was 7 minutes long. But this boy kept evading me like it was nothing. Worse, he was evading long before his computer could track me, and the boy was doing it gracefully. Does he even know about the ballistic computer?

I was performing PIC-6G turns and PIC-4G accelerations - the limit of my current settings. Attacking from above, behind, front... Even 'cheated' with invisibility. To no avail. His ability with Hyper Sensors is concerning.

Then the boy deployed a rifle. (Was it malfunctioning? It was not working for a few seconds. Strange.) The boy's shooting would have been pathetic and inaccurate, if not for the fact that he knew where to shoot, and even got a few lucky shots. How did he keep tracking me? There were no lock warnings!

The last boy's mistake was to use a shield, since my sword supposedly was unblockable, not that he knew it. Supposedly...

How the hell did a standard titanium shield survive the first swing and slowed down the second is beyond me. And he managed to damage my shield! The moment before his shield failed to my swing, he made a point-blank shot with a quantum accelerator rifle. It took 43SU in one shot! 43SU damage from a standard rifle with a maximum damage of 9SU per shot. At that point, half of my energy was already drained by my sword.

He just needs a bit more training with guns, some combat experience, and full sync with IS...

He will be a monster, and I will see to that!

Unknown spectators. Arena. minutes before the Test. July, 10

On the edge of the Infinite Stratos, a rainforest arena in London, two people were sitting down looking over the artificially made rainforest. The taller one of the two was a teen dressed in black clothing, dark blue jeans, black rim glasses, black and red shoes, and a black zip-up jacket with a hoodie. But appearance wise he is a teenage age Latino around 17 years old, his black hair reached down to his shoulder blades and tied back. Next to him was a much younger girl around 6 to 8 years old with a very similar fashion style except her hair being much shorter like a messy bowl cut that reaches to her shoulders. But her face was doing a cute pout as she stuffed her face full of buttered popcorn.

"This reality is going to be interesting to see considering its divergence from the original branch, don't you think Mako." And stuffed his face with hot sauce-covered butter popcorn as he recalled how around 50 to 70 years ago, he killed a room full of Nazis that called themselves Spectral Quest or something like that with a foldable chair, put a scale he got from a scary void dragon in a mirror that showed him his new family, and the humorous death of his enemies. Finally, how around 3 years ago he rescued Mako from a laboratory after it was raided by Chifuyu Orimura.

Looking over at the currently angry loli "Aw cheer up here about to see Orimura-San about the struggle against a child who's flying for the first time."

"Ok mom but you have to make Caldo de Res tonight and well watch Monty Python and the holy grail for movie night" looking up to the older teen.

Meanwhile, the teen looked back down at Maku with a face of "you're kidding me you to" since his other adopted daughter also called him mom but still handed her some binoculars to see the fight closer up

Rainforest Arena. London. July 10

A battle test was about to commence between the world's first male IS pilot Harry Potter and the first pilot of an IS and current champion Chifuyu Orimura.

Both came shooting out from opposite sides of the arena, flying over the canopy of trees looking like color contrasting comets. Since Chifuyu flew in Kuresakura her personal IS for competition colored in red and black, while Harry flew in Sage whose colors consisted of blue white and gold. Aldo unlike other IS, Sage was the first prototype and failure of the gen 2 model, so it looked different from any currently existing IS. Its appearance was much more armored covering most of the body of the pilot and possessing legs that were much more well proportion. Alongside its waist there were floating armor plating looking like a front open battle skirt or like the open bottom half of a trench coat.

Still, they were at the beginning of combat. With Chifuyu attempting to give the first strike, yet the blow never hit. Despite this, Chifuyu never gave up flying at high speed from different angles.

Simultaneously as he was being attacked, Harry was flying as best as he could using the IS propulsion to the full extent of his abilities somehow managing to evade the constant slashes of Chifuyu's sword even when she was using invisibility. However the constant use and over powering of the engines started to cause them to slightly fail and slow down only really allowing him to fly but not to their full extent. Yet the fear of not being able to continue flying in the IS allowed him to unlock the restriction on his settings and deploy the rifle.

Knowing that something changed Chifuyu decided to fly in and attack from his side, but she didn't expect Harry to deploy the rifle and start to attempt to shoot her from his current point, yet despite looking as if his weapon did not contain ammo. She quickly needed to display her evasive maneuvers to dodge the bullets that almost strike her yet getting careless she wasn't able evade some of them causing quite a bit of damage.

Harry, despite being able to get in some hits, soon started to run out of bullets. So still feeling a fear about losing the chance to keep using the IS, he deployed a large shield in a similar shape to a coffin and as the fight went he was starting to get attacked again. Now that his engines weren't working correctly, and his gun was practically out of ammo he could only rely on defense with his shield he poured energy into it making it durable enough to withstand the hard hitting blows of Chifuyu.

Still now going on 19 minutes Harrys is starting to get slower and his shield was about to fail but before that shot the one last bullet in his rifle point black managing to significantly damage Chifuyu shield yet he still lost.

—A/N—

My mind is an ADHD fueled plot bunny breeding factory so to get the thoughts out of my mind I'm writing down the (changes the unknown spectator made to this world) except the last one since it falls in spoiler territory for those who only see the anime. This is also the point forward in the story: more changes will occur. Aldo they will be posted in different chapters

Jaime is the taller of the two unknown spectators, he is also a self insert character I use as a Deus Ex Machina for most of my other works. It is the Mexican or Spanish pronunciation of Jaime

At the end of the chapter there will also be a large paragraph that is what used to be my description of the battle test

These omakes may contain spoilers you have been warned and please support the official release

Killing Nazis

Jaime decided to engage in the favorite activity of a certain crimson clade vampire that also had long hair and kill some Nazis yet unlike Alucard, Jaime decided he was going to be original and use a foldable chair. So, using one of the various methods of interdimensional and multiversal travel he grabbed a foldable chair from his shed and opened a portal in what he thought would only be one of the infinite amounts of potterverses. Jumping in with reckless abandon Jaime had a bloodthirsty smile at the carnage he was about to bring.

Around ten minutes later he fell on his feet in the middle of a forest somewhere in Germany in the middle of fall so there were plenty of leaves to hide the entrances of almost forgotten WWII bunkers. Still, this mild inconvenience would not stop him, he could smell the hate in their souls and the blood in their hands.

Inside the bunker

Standing on a pedestal looking over a militia of military dressed people a blond man with a scar crossing his face, shouted out like the major from hellsing ultimate abridged "To day we shall start our new world order, we will burn this world to the ground and rebuilt from the ashes for we are phantome task!"

Still, once he said "task" the sound of large pounds could start to be heard getting nearer and nearer this caused many of the people to start going into small panics thinking the bunker was going to collapse.

'Thud, thud!, thud!, THUD!' Kicking open the large metal doors with a high kick and holding a folding chair Jaime screamed out "SUP MOTHER FUCKERS PREPARE TO DIE YAA NATZI BASTARDS." still in those seconds, he basked in the shock and fear they felt of what just happened.

Yet unlike his soldiers, the blond did not shut up in shock instead his face started to redden in anger "How dare this imbeciel interrupt the start of their great crusade to gain dominion of the world…..wait did this bastard call us Nazis.

Dust settling, he angrily asked the fool "Did you just call us Nazis?"

Jaime placing and opening the chair behind him sitting down right leg over his left knee "Yes".

Face getting even reader "We are not Nazi's we are phantom task."

Putting his hands together he could only ask "from what I can tell most of your are veratrin's from the second great war and if so raise your hand iff you from the Axis powers this include any one under the a Nazi regime."

Silently almost 95% of them raised their hands. "So what if almost all of us were Nazis we are now phantom task."

"Another question how many of you think the Arian race is the superior race or that Jewish and other minorities should be exterminated"

At this question almost everyone raised their hands with the exception of the blond who actually seemed surprised. Still he regained his composure and ordered out. "this fools questions do not matter start to fire."

With the first bang music started to play at full volume ( get ready to dies)

Now seeing this thing Macassar his men he quickly went to the soldiers that didn't raise their hands and quietly started to sneak away.

12 hours later after running through the forest in the middle of the night and in the middle of a terrible thundering storm.

Entering in a diner that was open he and his 4 men sat down and ordered up some grub.

Now eating the blond said. "You still in for a phantom task right."

They all nodded their heads enjoying their food.

"Ok, let's work together to form a newer, better organization." And with that they raised their beers in a vow for a new world order.

Original fight

Both flying in from opposite sides of the arena, they both came out flying over the canopy of trees and quickly started the fight with only a few words fitting enough to describe the fight between this nearly perfect human with years of experience flying the IS and this nearly 11-year-old child that is flying for the first time yet is fighting to keep his final hope and fight he did. Dodging attacks that came in great speed he was still in pristine condition until the attacks came at increasingly faster rates. Harry, feeling he might lose, wished the engines would move faster and simultaneously felt a slight tingle flow through his body. Now being capable of dodging the constant unending attacks, some even appearing out of nowhere, he thought it was time to fight since the engines started to slow down. Deploying a rifle, he kept dodging and trying to shoot at Chifuyu, but nothing would come out. He even thought I might not have ammo until it began to shoot. And with the aim that would have most people scream out aimbot, he got in several hits until he was out of ammo now deploying his shield his last from of defense and weapon, he just wished to be able to last long enough by blocking Orimura sword until finally 5 minutes later the fight had ended.
