Here is a new fic, and probably one people wouldn't try but I want to make this damn it! I will warn you all that this is a trap harem story fic, and no I will not gender-bend the characters as that will defeat the purpose. Now the warning is out of the way, time to start the new story!
Chapter 1: Starting a new path in life.
Betaed by: Forzarismo
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I tilt my head out of the way of the glass cup being thrown at me, hearing it shatter as it whizzes past me. Of course, she had to pick my favorite limited edition and very expensive custom D&D glass. "How could you do this?! How could you cheat on the mother of YOUR child?!" yells Elizabeth, my girlfriend for ten years. "And now you send me a photo of you railing some whore?! Do you want me to have a miscarriage?!" she pulls out her phone and practically slams it in my face to show the text image of me taking someone doggy-style, with the only thing about who I was fucking being shown was the very large ass. "What do you have to say for yourself Colton!"
"I was just getting even." I told her. The anger in her eyes quickly changes to confusion, then realization.
"W-what do you mean getting even?! Don't change the subject, you cheating bastard!" Elizabeth said. I can't help but sigh, not surprising that she doesn't want to admit it. "What the hell are you doing?! Don't ignore me!" I pull out my phone and go through my pictures until I found the one I was looking for. I flip it over to show her an image of her onto someone's dick, one that I know wasn't mine. "T-that is obviously photoshopped! How could you even think I cheated on you?!" Wow, is she really doing this? I slide over to the next image, or rather video, and push play.
"Oh yes, Jack! Right there!~ You so good unlike limp dick Colton~!" I pause the video and turn to see Elizabeth's face turning to an unhealthy shade of pale. "T-that's not true! H-he forced himself onto me! He told me I would lose my job if I didn't sleep with him! Believe me, Colton I've been with you for ten years baby!" I push the play button once again.
"Are you sure about doing this raw? What if you get knocked up?"A deep male voice asks through my phone. "I will just say it's Colton's. He is such a nice guy, I'm certain he would raise the kid even if I told him he wasn't the father. I would even bet the idea turns him on! He would make such a sweet cuck!~" The video ends and I was in a storm of emotions. Hurt, betrayed, and the biggest one being anger.
"H-how… how did you get that?" Elizabeth asks, guess she can't fight the facts anymore.
"From the person that I was fucking in the picture. They weren't exactly happy to learn about how you betrayed a ten-year relationship to get a better position at work and become Jack's main bitch. Or the fact you plan to dump your and Jack's kid on me and Jack will try making my job hell to the point I quit." I told her, pocketing my phone. "When they first told me, I didn't believe it because why would I? I thought we were happy and in love, but then I began questioning things, like that business trip last summer. They told me you and Jack decided to go on a vacation, and there were pictures to prove it."
"Well?! Who ratted me out then?! AMY?! SHERRY?! OR WAS IT THAT BITCH JULIE?! I KNOW SHE HAS BEEN LOOKING AT YOU SINCE HIGH SCHOOL!" she demands.
"None of them, the person who told me is or was close to you." I told her. "You could say you guys were like siblings."
Once the words registered, her eyes widened and her mouth gasp open. "Alex? You were fucking my BROTHER?!" I can't help but laugh at her shocked face.
"Yeah, Alex told me all about what you did and was kind enough to help me through my depressed state. Turns out he had a crush on me since middle school, who knew? But the main thing Alex told me is I shouldn't just get even. I should get better." I said, smiling at my ex's stunned expression. "At first I was against the idea, he is a guy after all. But soon he took off his clothes to showcase himself in woman's lingerie and he has such a great ass, I decided to say fuck it. Another thing, Alex is way better at handling my cock than you ever could. You call yourself the 'Queen of Blowjobs', bitch if you're a queen then Alex is a god of the art, and that ass you have so much pride in looks fucking flat when compared to his. Damn, I'm getting hard just remembering it."
"So what if you fucked my brother! I will just tell everyone about how you cheated on me! I'll also tell the cops you beat and rape me too if don't beg me like the pathetic dog that you are!" Elizabeth screech.
"You really make it easy to question what in the hell did I see in you in the first place. Besides, I doubt people will believe you, especially since Alex is posting all those videos and pictures of you cheating on me with that threat now being the cherry on top." I pull out my phone to show her that I had been recording the last few minutes and already sent the sound file to Alex. "You really shouldn't be using the same password for everything. Also, the cops already know about this, since I told them Jack has been embezzling funds, illegally dumping toxic waste in an unsafe manner, and his company is built upon years of stolen work. Add that to the drugs found at his place, people coming out about sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions, and to top everything off, tax evasion."
"That… that can't be true!" Elizabeth yells, looking at her phone. I decided to check myself to see the shitshow, and what a shitshow it was. Everyone on her Twitter and Facebook is basically cursing her out about how she cheated on me, some even throwing more oil into the fire by saying she bullied them in school, another saying she was threatened by her at work, and a lot of other shit. The real jewel was seeing a co-worker sending a link to a news article.
Hi Jack~
The article goes on about all the shit Jack has done and ends with the company going into bankruptcy and the building now being claimed by the tax office. Goodbye Jack, hope someone will treat you nicely while in jail… seeing as you will be there for at the very least twenty years.
"Well, I would say things have been good Elizabeth but I would be lying. I better get to packing now." I said, making my way to our old bedroom.
"Packing?" I heard Elizabeth ask. "Yeah, packing. I canceled our contract with this landlord, he wants out by the end of the week." I just want this to be over with. "I need to move all my stuff into my and Alex's place, get ready for my new and better, and plan out my first campaign in years. Seems Alex is willing to try things I like."
"But what about me?! Where will I stay?!"
"I don't care. Maybe some cheap place." I told her, pulling out a folded cardboard box.
"Why are you doing this?! I know I cheated on you but isn't there still a part of you that cares about me? That loves me?! Can't you remember the good times we had together and… do something for me once?"
Something for her… Something for her…
Something for her?!
I guess I must look pretty mad since she took a step back in fright. "For you? Have you honestly forgotten all the things I have done, the things I gave up, for you? I stopped hanging around my friends because you said 'You should be spending time with me'. And you know what? I did, but I thought you will let me hang out with them again after a while, but instead, I lose contact with some of my best friends. Then the only guy friends I can have can only be your girlfriend's boyfriend and you force me to act like I'm some outdoor type that loves playing football, despite me hating sports. How about the time you decide we should stop eating meat because it was bad for us? Or the time you wanted me to take you on a tour through Europe? While I was still an intern!" I can feel myself getting hotter as I remember more things I did for our relationship.
"Remember how you told me I can't play D&D or certain games because it would make me a nerd?! How about I have to become your slave when you are sick? But I have to take care of myself when I'm sick and only sometimes will you buy me a cup of soup. That you drink some out of! How about all those extra shifts I have done, trying to save money for our own place? You blow it all partying with your girlfriends!"
"I can't have female friends because you think I only want to sleep with them, but as soon I question you about meeting a guy so late at night you call me an asshole!" Calm down Col, she isn't worth a heart attack over. I took a deep breath and exhale, "You are acting like I never did anything for you, but what have you done for me? Nothing. You expect nice gifts from me and hand cheap crap in return, you want the best out of me but you can't even put a decent amount of effort on your part." I really do wonder why I ever thought that you would be the one I want to spend my life with. "We are done. But I will do one nice thing." I said, Elizabeth's eyes shine a bit at hearing how I will help her. Guess she doesn't feel too guilty? "Once that kid is born, you going to forfeit all rights to me."
"What?"
"I will be nice and take the kid, as they shouldn't suffer from your actions. But as soon as they're born, I want nothing to do with you. You threw away ten years of me trying my best to make this work but all you did is spread your flat asscheeks and shit all over it. Now pack your shit up, you need to find somewhere to live and I doubt your 'friends' will be so nice right now." I'm done, I said my piece and now I just want to leave.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Pain… Sharp… Hot… Wet…
What just happened?! Why did all air leave my body? What the hell is this pain in my back?! Those thoughts rush through me as I fall to the floor. Why does my back feel so hot but the rest of my body feel so cold? Also what is with this smell? It smells like rusted iron or copper.
I roll onto my back, which was a bad idea as a lightning bolt of pain shoots through me. What is happening to me?
"It's your fault…"
Huh? What do you mean it is my faul-
Blood… Elizabeth's shirt is covered with blood while holding a kitchen knife.
It was my blood.
I was stabbed in the back…
Oh, the irony…
"This is all your fault. Yes, that's right you did this! If you didn't ruin everything none of this would happen!" Elizabeth yells, dropping the knife and running away, leaving me to bleed out.
Damn it… the one time I stand for myself and put her in her rightful place after being stabbed in the back figuratively I get stabbed in the back literally! I can't just die here. Not when… Alex is waiting for me.
I was a fool to ignore the signs of how shit Elizabeth was, but I was a bigger fool for ignoring the signals of Alex's feelings. He was there for me when life hits me hard, there when I needed someone, and he show me what it really feels like to be loved during the few months of planning for today. Sure, I told Elizabeth that I just fucked him to get back at her but… I really was happy with him.
"Fuck… guess I loved him more than I thought." I said, my voice becoming more hoarse. I refuse to die! Not when I have someone waiting for me! Phone! I need to get my phone! Which pocket was it?! I was holding it just a moment ago!
Damn it! My fingertips are so numb that I can't which pocket has it! Fuck it, dig both! I pull out my phone, holding it in my shaking hand. Come on Col! You can do it! Just three numbers! Three numbers and you can see Alex and give him that ring you were once planning to give to that BITCH!
"Come on…nine…" My hand feels like they are made out of lead. "One…" my eyes are so heavy. "One…" Fuck…! I dropped the phone. I'm so tired…holy shit… maybe a short breather… will help me get… the… phone…
Congratulations! You have just died!
Your background, starting world, and stats are in place!
Enjoy your new life and rise to power!
What was that? Why does my back feel better?! Why does my whole body feel… younger?
"Colton! Wake up or you won't have enough time for breakfast!" an effeminate voice said, shaking me. Where am I? Also, who is this person and why do they feel so… familiar?
I open my eyes to see a girl with long black hair tied into a ponytail that uses a long red ribbon to tie the whole thing wearing a Japanese high school uniform. Who is this girl?
?!
"Colton! Is everything ok?!" the girl reaches out to catch me as I fall over from the sudden wave of nausea. This girl… I know her, but not from my life. But the life of this person. Colton Johness was born in America but moved to Japan at the young age of five after his parents died in a car crash. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, with said uncle trying to convince me to take after the shrine that has been in his and my father's family for generations. I didn't want to inherit the shrine due to its weird history. Why doesn't my uncle make a kid of his own become an heir? His balls don't work, the man is sadly sterile. But he raises me like the son he never can have so I'm grateful.
A history that involves my two childhood friends, one being here in front of me. Mishiro Endou is one of the few shrine maidens that work at my uncle's shrine. The Endou family had strong ties to the shrine for generations and is known across Japan for its Japanese sweets.
"I'm fine Mishiro. Just a rough night." I told him. Yes, this Yamato Nadeshiko is a guy. The shrine doesn't allow women to work in it due to the Goddess living here being a jealous one, meaning all the shrine maidens are crossdressers but Mishiro completely looks like a girl to the point people would doubt me when I tell them. But between her looks and sisterly nature, it was no wonder why he was this Colton's first love along with his other childhood friend. Well, until he learns that Mishiro was a guy.
"Are you sure? I can just tell aunty that is sick I can take care of you. Just like old times." Mishiro said, smiling as she tries how she is rubbing my chest. Thanks to the memories of this life I know that he is into me. Well, it's time to try something.
"Are you sure? Because I can't say what will happen if we are alone~ After all, such a pretty thing might make certain things happen to me." I smirk as his face blushes. Mishiro has been trying to get the idea of me and him dating for years so hearing me say that sounds like a dream. Also, yeah I'm hitting on a guy but after being backstabbed twice the idea of dating women sours a bit. I know not all women are bad but I can't picture myself dating one anymore. And Alex's ass ruins me.
How could a guy's butt feel better than a woman's vagina?
"EH~? What are you saying, Colton? Normally you would wait? Could it be that new shampoo I have been using? Or better, you realize now you love your big sister?!" Mishiro said, spinning in place while talking to her about… wedding plans?
"Oh! What's going on here?!" Another girly voice rings out. I turn toward the door of my bedroom to see my other childhood friend, Subaru Takatou. He is just like Mishiro, very girly looking with his long golden-brown hair and in another female uniform. Another thing they have in common is his family is also closely tied to mine, but his family owns a brewery that makes several popular liquors. "I heard yelling so I came up to see what's wrong but here you are Mishiro, talking about marriage between men again." Subaru sighs. Despite how he says it, I know he also has feelings for me.
"Everything is fine Subaru, I was just a bit lightheaded." I told him, flashing a small smile that caused him to blush lightly. "You guys go ahead and eat, I will be out after I change."
"Fine, but you better hurry. Hinowa seems to be ready to eat everything." Subaru said, calming down his blush, with Mishiro following after him.
I give myself a pinch…
…
…ow.
"Guess I'm not dreaming after all. I really did die and came back to life." I run my hands through my blonde hair. Damn it, what now? What can I do now? Guess I better change for now…
Wait. Now that think about it, was there something between when I died and woke up here?
Yes, me.
…
HOLY SHIT!
Some kind of a screen in front of me… it looks like something out of an old RPG game. What the hell is this?
Have you never heard about The Game? Weird, but not something that isn't hard to fix. Basically, you're a video game character. You now have been given a system based on what system works the best for you. Which is, in your case, the Brawler System.
Brawler? Like a street fighter? Not sure how to feel about that. I had never been in a fight before, let alone a full-out brawl. Also, why does this matter?
Huh?
Why does it matter in the end? Sure, having video game powers are cool but what will I do with it? It isn't that sound like it can help people like a doctor, scientist, or rescuer. The power only helps me fight, nothing more. It doesn't give me a goal outside what a normal person will get.
B-but there is a goal! You can become the top dog of Japan! Of the World!
What if I don't want that? Why would I fight when I can just… enjoy my second life. I messed up one life already, I'm not going to fuck up the one for no reason. Gaining superpowers is awesome but I need to get ready for school. I grab a school uniform from the closet and change out of pajamas, brush my hair, and head downstairs.
The feeling is bizarre… the steps feel both familiar as if I have taken these exact steps countless times. But at the same time, I know these are the first time I take these steps, these steps in some stranger's house and about to eat with them. With a family that will probably never know that I'm not their Colton.
Their Colton wanted to become an engineer so he wouldn't have to become the Shrine Head and have to marry either Mishiro or Subaru. But I'm ok with it. Their Colton can't think of himself in a romantic, let alone a sexual relationship, with either one due to their real gender, no matter how cute and girly they look. But I can be with them without an issue. I might have his memories, but I can't become the same person.
Fuck… that's damn depressing.
I enter the kitchen to see Mishiro and Subaru already eating with another small girly-looking boy. His hair is greenish-brown and in a short, curly mess. There are two oddities about him, one is the way he is dressed. His top is something like a white kimono but there was no fabric to cover the shoulders, leaving them bare, with puffy pants and black shoes. But the biggest thing was his ears, big floppy dog ears. And far too real to be cosplay.
The only reason why I'm not panicking or questioning is because the memories tell me everything. Hinowa is the guardian of the shrine and is a messenger of the gods. But I have been with him all my life to know that he really is a scatterbrain with a major sweet tooth and loves anime and games. He is also whipped by Mishiro and his treats, being used to help clean the shrine thanks to his multiple powers. I remember the old Colton even questioning if Hinowa is really a god if he loves being given candy by the elderly that visit the shrine.
"Ah! Colton, you finally up? Darn, I thought I can have your fish…" Hinowa moans.
"Morning to you too Hinowa. Has Dad already made you clean the shrine or are you trying to skip again?" I ask, already knowing the answer. Hinowa promised never to skip cleaning after a month-long ban on sweets as his punishment.
"No, I was allowed to skip it since the shrine is too busy with those workers." Hinowa said between his bites. "But really, classifying me as a Liminal. They should be happy that they're upgrading the shrine and house for free or I would have punished them." Hinowa rants, only stopping to drink some of his soup.
"Liminal?" I ask while eating my breakfast, Subaru probably made it since Mishiro tends to make more western foods since he thinks that I would like to try the foods of my birthplace. Mom works as a surgeon and Dad will burn anything he tries to cook meaning that they don't really cook. And whatever food Hinowa makes is full of sugar, so Mishiro and Subaru end up making food. I can cook, but not on their level.
"Did you forget? Well, it has been a crazy week. The fact other races besides humans and gods exist, the Liminal bill, the school opening up to liminal students, and how a government worker shows up out of nowhere to sign Hinowa and your family the exchange program." Mishiro said.
"Basically, Liminals are non-human races. Like orcs, vampires, werewolves, and more. The government believes that Hinowa is such a race so they have you and your family sign a mountain of paperwork. At least they are improving the house and shrine." Subaru comments, finishing his fish. "But hurry up and finish yourself. I'm not going to be late because you can't get up." Subaru said, putting his dishes in the sink and already heading out.
"Wait Subaru!" Mishiro yells, not too far behind. Hah… alright, better head out myself. I give Hinowa a goodbye and leave my house, seeing several construction workers moving about. No wonder Hinowa can skip cleaning duties, it would just become dirty again in seconds.
It's weird to be going to high school again. Just an hour ago I was a full-grown adult with a college degree and everything. But here I am, walking with my childhood friends like an anime character. All that was missing is some wind to blow up skirts to complete the whole harem anime feel. But it seems even anime world doesn't follow anime logic since the walk to school was peaceful. Subaru talking about Kendo practice and Mishiro talking about a new drama he has been liking, I even throw in some stuff about some movie I have seen. It really was like I have gone back to being a teenager again, nothing in the world matters besides tests.
As we reach the school I can't help but stare. The building is massive, looking more like a college campus rather than a high school but the students entering makes it very easy to understand why. There were a bunch of human students but there were all those Limials coming around in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Fur, scales, multiple legs, one eye, several eyes, paws, animal ears, tails, no legs, wings, and a lot more. One girl was the size of me, Mishiro, and Subaru standing on each other in terms of height. Another thing about all the girls is that they're insanely beautiful.
One girl with skin as black as night, same as her hair, red eyes, a black dog tail, dog ears, with paws lined with several sharp claws walked by me. Her figure would normally make me follow her with my eyes, probably thinking of the possibility of me dating her. But now, I feel nothing. Not even a spark of lust, attraction, or anything.
And I'm fine with that.
As we were about to cross the gate for our first class, a slightly overweight man came toward us, looking quite unhappy. I know what's coming next thanks to the memories of this life. Colton has a minor problem with teachers over the dumbest thing possible, my hair color. I gained a lot of my features from my dad's side, such as his sharp eyes and strong jaw, but I also have something from my mother's side, her hair color and her eyes color. Ever since I was in middle school I've had to deal with teachers thinking I'm some punk the dyed his hair blonde. They would keep yelling at me to change it back to black, even when I explained I'm mixed blood. Even Mishiro and Subaru get dragged into this nonsense several times. We were only able to get my old middle school to stop after they called my aunt and uncle to try and 'correct' me. Once they heard the story about my birth parents and my going so far to tell the media about this, they finally stopped.
And now I have to deal with this again. And judging by how both my childhood friends sighed, they know this was going to happen again.
"What are you think you going with that hair young man?! Are you trying to disgrace our school with this?!" the teacher tries grabbing some of my hair, something that my old teachers have done before. But I'm not having that.
I smack the man's hand away from my head, surprising him and my friends. If I was the old Colton, he probably would let the man do his whole scolding bit as I tried explaining about my genes so my show of clear disrespect was something that was very out of character. But I refuse to let some jackass diss my hair, one of the few things given to me by my birth mom.
"First thing asshole, I'm mixed blood so my hair is natural. Two, don't touch my hair. But seeing as you are losing your's, I guess you just want to take some of mine." I said, looking straight at the man's balding head. "And three, don't act like my hair is all that strange. We have people that are half horse and you're busting a blood vessel over some blonde hair."
I would be lying if I said the teacher's face turning to an angry shade of red wasn't entertaining. He seems he was about to yell his fucking head off if the bell haven't rang out, signaling the start of the school day. "…I expect to see you in the teacher's lounge after class, ya hear me?" The teacher states, poking into my chest a bit harder than needed. The teacher turns and leaves, leaving us alone again.
"What were you thinking?! Fighting a teacher on the first day?! Now people will think you are a delinquent!" Subaru screams at me, I know he wants the best for me because he sees himself as a sister figure like Mishiro. Why do they want the sister role instead of the brother role? I don't know and it really doesn't bother me so I never ask.
"The guy was about to grab my hair." I answer him, gaining a confused look. "I'm tired of it. Them calling me a punk, telling me to dye my hair black, them pulling my hair, getting yelled at, and trying to punish me for something so minor. I'm tired of constantly trying to do things their way… I refuse to stain the hair my mom give me because they can't be bothered to read my school record."
"But Colton, that could be really bad! If people think you're a delinquent, you will have trouble making friends and people will have ideas of who are." Mishiro tried to reason with me. "I agree that you shouldn't dye your hair, but people will think you're just punk that will fail."
"Then I would show them otherwise." I smirk. "I can already picture their faces when they see the school's punk being on top of their test scoreboards. Besides, why would I need friends if they would turn on me over something so insignificant? Plus~" I look at Mishiro and Subaru and quickly hug them. "I'm happy with just having the greatest sisters a guy could have!" I said, lifting them both in my arms. Both of their faces turned bright red from my action. While Subaru may try getting out of the hug, Mishiro quickly returns it.
I let the two down, after drawing quite a bit of attention to us. I can even hear people wondering if we are really family or am I dating either one of them. I would enjoy hearing people talking about the punk with the cute girls, but I rather enjoy the reactions I caused for potential future lovers. Mishiro seems to be over the moon at this point, probably thinking this is the best day ever. Subaru tries giving me an angry look but I can his being a storm of emotions. Embarrassment, happy, confused, and… hopeful? I know both of them like more than a friend or a brother but for years they probably never thought this would happen.
I would like to continue these antics, but we really need to get to class. And sadly, we all have different homerooms so I will probably not see them until lunch or after school. I give them one last goodbye, Mishiro said we will have lunch later before the two of them leave my view. I head to my own homeroom, thankfully I had gone on a tour of the school before it opened so I wasn't too lost. I enter the third-year classroom to see several other students sitting around, chatting with one another, or some human students asking the non-human students about their race's culture and why they came to Japan. As I sit down, I realize students were actually moving away from me.
Not sure if it's because people are afraid of my looks or if they saw my argument with the teacher but it doesn't matter. If they were afraid of me, or more likely afraid of getting in trouble because of me, then why should I care about making friends with them if they already know who I am.
As I sit there, ignoring all the stares and whispers, the classroom door opens, and… no one is there. What the hell? Is there a ghost student? Or did some invisible nudist come in? Several of the students were wondering who opened the door.
"Sorry for being a bit late for class! The headmaster wanted to speak with me and it took longer than expected." a boyish voice calls out. Is our teacher really a ghost? For some reason, I don't think that's the case, as there haven't been reports of a ghost-like liminal yet. Maybe he is just really short? I look downwards and sure enough, I found something on the ground. A small sky-blue blob of goo that looks a lot like jelly. The only thing on it that could symbolize a face was two marks that could be its eyes. And it was very small, being as tall as my shins.
"It's great seeing so many new faces, especially since schools across the nations closed down for the reconstruction. I feel like that hurts the learning experience if you just read notes on a screen and listen to videos." The blob says, jumping at great heights as it moves toward the teacher's podium. The little guy is like a super ball with those hops. "And I know a great sum of human students transfer over from their old schools too."
Yeah, I remember several schools having to close since they can't house most of the special liminal students, such as Centaurs and Onis.
"But at least now we are all here and can truly learn. Though that can wait until we introduce ourselves first, with me of course." The slime said, before changing its form into a more human one. His height is still short, but he seems to be barely four feet tall with long light blue hair that was tied with a dark blue ribbon to make a ponytail, golden eyes, and a girly face. His outfit is white dress pants, a blue button-down shirt, and a striped tie with white, light blue, and dark blue being the colors, and to finish the look he's wearing a robe-like coat. "My name is Rimuru Tempest, and as you already know, I am a slime." the now-named Rimuru says, writing his name on the board.
I feel like I know that name from somewhere before. Might be nothing really.
"I'm certain that most of you follow the Liminal news and slimes were not one of the races among the signing. The reason for that is simple, most slimes are not that smart." Rimuru laughs at basically insulting his own race. "Slimes can learn but very few can make it to where they can hold a humanoid form, I'm actually the only one that has a complete human form."
Some students do really seem to care but I found this stuff interesting. Way better than the politics of my old world.
"I teach Monster History as the school calls it, but I rather it interspecies history as the term monster isn't the kindest." Rimuru comments. "This class is also probably the hardest class for most since we will be covering several species over the course of this year. But we can worry about that later~" Rimuru waves off the shocked looks he got from that statement.
It's not that surprising all things considered. I saw at least ten different liminal species on the way to class alone, so the history book is going to be thick. And they can't just skip over some races since the signing requires that every species that signed the bill have their culture and history added to ours.
The class soon enough introduce themselves, with me keeping mine short. I did get some strange looks when I said I'm the next heir to my family's shrine but in the end, it doesn't matter. The class itself was interesting, Rimuru is a good teacher, the subject is definitely interesting, and not dealing with stares was nice. The problem comes from how ridiculous the class was, today is the first day, and are going over an insane amount of material. He wasn't lying when he said this class will be the hardest, I'm certain I have to study nightly just to get by.
A part of me regrets saying I'll be the top student but I already promise Mishiro and Subaru to do so. Plus I know Subaru would become the tutor from hell if he hears whispers of me failing a class, so I might as well go for the top.
Thankfully, everything has to come to an end and this class was no different. "That will be it for today, tomorrow we will be covering the history of Kobolds and I recommend reading up on some of it tonight." Rimuru finishes up, turning back into a ball of slime and hopping out of the classroom. I know he can hear some of the students complaining about having homework on the first day. I'm just glad the reading isn't as dry as a normal textbook would be.
I read so many textbooks in college and I swear that I rather watch ants for an hour than read those books again.
My next sets of classes were nothing out of the ordinary. Math, Social Studies, Japanese History, and English. The only thing that was interesting about my classes is that my Japanese History teacher was a zombie from the Edo Period. But besides that, pretty boring but I have the mind of someone that gone to college before so I figured that would happen. It doesn't stop my hand from cramping so I'm happy to get a forty-minute break for lunch.
I grab my lunch from my bag and make my way to the courtyard. Mishiro is already texting me where we're eating, I know he likes to think he is my sister but at times he acts more like a mother. He and Subaru.
If I didn't have the memories of my past life, I doubt Colton would be able to live alone since those two do most of the housework. The only thing Colton knows how to do is sweep, he has barely done anything else since those two take care of it. Only recently did Dad begin teaching me accounting, record keeping, and paperwork, though he told me he has been teaching those two as well because he said 'they were the most likely be one who will become my wife.'
"OH! Watch you're going!"
Huh?
I look down to see a down guy, sitting on his butt. "Why are you down there?" I ask, reaching to help him up. Though the guy just looks more pissed off and slaps my hand away.
"I'm sitting here because you ram into me Jackass!" Said guy snarls before he gets up and dust himself off, giving me a good first look at him. Jet black hair that is slicked back with hair gel judging by the shine, angry brown eyes, and wearing a green jumpsuit with black shoes. I look at my own uniform and they sure don't match, with me wearing a white button-up, a jacket, dress pants, and a red and black checker tie. Either he's a transfer student and just hasn't gotten a uniform yet, or he is an actual delinquent.
"Sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention, my bad." I have the mind of an adult, so I should act like it. The guy might be acting like a jerk but I don't know his life. Plus I'm a third-year and he looks like a first-year so I have to show some maturity. The guy leaves after that, making sure he shoves his shoulder into me as he walks by.
…
Dick.
I turn and head my own way, I rather eat before class starts up again.
{Bonus Scene}
None of them are here. I figured that they would try adding Urameshi into their ranks if the rumors about him are even half true. Though maybe that third-year is one, students were talking about some student fighting a teacher over his hair. While I'm doubtful he is one, I should still check it out. However, first things first.
"Mmm ~ Pudding is the best."
Author's note
This fic will have a lot of characters from other series to full out gangs and I'm using several characters because making a huge number of OCs will only cause me headaches. I hope those that give this a try will continue and I hope you enjoy this.
I also want to give special thanks to Forzaismo, writer of Faust: The Horseman Gamer. I enjoy it, from the world he picked, to the characters he summons through gacha, to how he writes Faust. If you want to read someone working with the hellhole that is known as Akame Ga Kill, it is a solid read.
With that done, later!
