Fight Smart 1 (DXD/ Arifureta)
Chapter 1: Normal life, No more
*Ring *Ring
Nagumo heard the alarm clock, waking him up early from his deep sleep, letting out a long sign he reached out to shut the nosing thing off.
"Morning already?" Nagumo asked, looking at the hour of the day.
This Nagumo Hajime, your average high school student at Kuoh Academy, there is nothing particularly special about him, as far as he and anyone else knows.
Nagumo signs tiredly, as he gets out of bed and gets changed into his school uniform. Another all-nighter of reading manga and watching videos, getting dressed real quick he went downstairs for some breakfast.
"Another weird dream again" Nagumo said to himself, recalling another dream last night.
Nagumo has been having weird dreams lately, which is normal for a teenager but these dream he remembers too well, in his dreams he looked the same but with white hair and red eye colour, he's least fifteen cm taller, arms twice as thick, much more muscular, and an aura that is a mix of a war veteran and a delinquent.
He was summoned to a world with his classmates, they learn magic, go to a dungeon, someone shoots him down the dungeon and he grows more powerful by a magic stone that heals him as he fights and eats monsters, gaining their abilities and making powerful weapons like rail-gun pistols.
Nagumo doesn't know what to make of them, although he got curious if railguns and other shit he made in his dream were possible to make, so he watched YouTube videos of crazy guys making sci-fi weapons. It is possible if the science they teach is accurate and you have the right material but the weapons are not practical in any case.
It gave him an interest in the science of how attacks and powers work in manga's work, so he spent more nights studying sciences and other related subjects to understand some of these abilities.
He entered the kitchen, as always his parents aren't here, they rarely have breakfast together because of their work, his mother is a mechanic and his dad is a constructor, it's not uncommon for them to leave early to meet the deadlines and come home late, so it shouldn't be a surprise.
He has knowledge and skills in both fields, he already has an idea of what he is gonna be in the future, but not really, he is young after all.
"Weird that I somehow made a harem without doing much with them" Nagumo said, pouring cereal into his bowl as he grabbed the milk to eat breakfast.
Nagumo sits down on the table and starts eating, thinking about what the dreams could be. Perhaps he dreaming about another version of him, every time someone sleep they dream about another version of themselves in the multiverse,
Or he could be having dreams because he reads too much manga, that's probably more believable.
Honestly he can't keep thinking about this as he finished his breakfast before putting it in the dishwasher and turning it on. The dishes should be clean by the time he gets back. As he grabs his bag and gets all his stuff ready for school.
The walk was uneventful as usual, he walked to Kuoh Academy.
Not much is known about Kuoh Academy, other than the fact that it was originally an all-girls private school. At some point in time Kuoh Academy changed into a co-ed school and the new school building was made, hell they still have the old school building in use.
The Kuoh Academy has several divisions such as the primary division, high school division and college division. The high school division of Kuoh Academy has multiple annual events such as the Ball Tournament, Sports Day, and School Trip for second year students and School Festival.
All and all it was an ok school, beside the increasing number of female students in the school there hasn't been anyone dating anyone as far as Nagumo knows.
But Nagumo wasn't really well-known in Kuoh Academy, he didn't do much, join any clubs or make much of an effort to be friends with anyone, sure he talks to people every now and then but not enough to make a friendship with any of them.
On his way to the Academy he came across the infamous perverted trio, as Nagumo always passes the spot they peep at girls with, Nagumo didn't have much of a relationship with any of them, beside finding their peeping disturbing but nothing more. Nagumo wonders why the girls don't just cover the windows with something or plug up any holes they find the trio looking at, maybe the girls secretly like it or get off at beating up guys if they haven't reported them or anything.
Nagumo shrugs at them before heading to class like everyone else, waiting in the academy he finds his spot at the back of the class.
The class started as Nagumo half listened to his teacher as he broadly looked around, his eye caught a familiar redhead.
He was in the same class as the school's idol, Rias Gremory, besides being pretty and everything there wasn't much to her as far as he was aware. Of course everyone wants to fuck her, boy and girl. And probably the teacher too.
But to Nagumo she is just another pretty face to look at every now and then. Nagumo let out a yawn as his attention was half to the class and to his books.
Nagumo went through the day half asleep, until he fell asleep on the table at lunch time.
LINE
Nagumo woke up with a yawn, looking out the window he saw that it was already sunset.
"Jesus how long was I out? '' Nagumo said, staring at his arms, as he looked around, seeing he was in the nurse's office.
"I'm getting worried for your health Nagumo, this is the fifth time I have to see you" A voice said, making Nagumo turn to see the Nurse Shizuka Marikawa.
Shizuka Marikawa is a very tall buxom woman with ridiculous curves and her physique is most pronounced by her humongous breasts. She has waist-length blonde hair that has several bangs coming down into her face; two bangs come down at the sides running all the way down that also frames her face and hazel eyes. She usually appears to be sleepy whenever she makes an appearance, but under special situations, she has a serious face that she puts on.
(Shizuka Marikawa from Highschool of the dead)
"Afternoon then Nurse Shizuka, you think I'll get a reputation now" Nagumo greeted the nurse, like she said he has been here more than once, they catch up about a few things while Nagumo is there.
"Maybe a few more times than students will notice the nocturnal student Nagumo, sleeps all day but wakes all night" Shizuka said with a smile as she checked his eyes, seeing dark circles under his eyes.
"Can't help it Shizuka, need to do homework you know" Nagumo tries to explain, he does all his homework first so he doesn't have to worry about it later.
"I'm sure, I'm going to write a letter for your parents, you might need to be looked at," Shizuka said, as Nagumo groaned.
"Come on Shizuka, so I have a few late nights is no big deal, I'll just sleep earlier next time" Nagumo groans, not wanting to get his parents involved.
"Nevertheless here are some recommendations, let your parents know as soon as you can" Shizuka said, handing him the note as Nagumo reluctantly took the note.
"You think I'm sick or something?"Nagumo asked, reading the note, recommending he see a doctor for his late nights.
"Just to be sure Nagumo, you never know until you check," Shizuka said as Nagumo stretched.
"You gonna miss me if I don't sleep in your office, who else comes here anyway" Nagumo asked, never really seeing anyone other than himself here as Shizuka shrugs.
"A few students with stomach pains or colds, nothing too much, unlike you" Shizuka looks at him with concern as Nagumo looks away.
"Lucky you it's the end of the day, so head home and get plenty of rest, understand?" Shizuka said, narrowing her eyes at him as Nagumo nodded.
"OK OK, I'll try to sleep early, no promises but I'll try" Nagumo nods as he gets off the bed and grabs his stuff and heads home. Shizuka shakes her head,
"What am I going to do about you Nagumo?" Shizka wonders as she crosses her arms of her lager burst, thinking.
LINE
Nagumo slowly walks home, going through the turns and path he always takes, the sun nearly setting as he walks across the street and into the town buildings.
"Wonder what's for dinner?" Nagumo thinks as he walks through an alleyway to this home.
"Stop" An emotionless voice surprised Nagumo, as he stopped to look at a middle aged man.
"Okkkk, what's wrong?" Nagumo asked, looking at the guy as he slowly turned his head, He looked at him with a blank face
"You better start running" the guy said with a crazy smile, before Nagumo could question any further he felt slight tremors from the ground
"What the?" Nagumo said as he looked at the man.
He wasn't a man anymore; he started to grow unnaturally, growing extra limbs, extra arms and legs as he watched a slug like monster with multiple limbs and a human face.
The monster grows at him, without a second thought Nagumo runs away from it, now clearly understanding that he is in danger, this can't be real, Nagumo thought running away from the monster.
He turns to see the monster chasing him as he does a quick turn, though the buildings as the monster slides into another building crashing into it as it continues to give chase.
Nagumo looks around, trying to see a way around, knowing he can't run or hide. Running through the buildings as he tries to see a way out. Getting out of the alley he looks to see a contraction sight, his dad's contraction sight. That is.
Nagumo smiled at the familiar sight, his dad used to take him to work every now and then, he knows what to do. Nagumo runs to the gate, the monster chases in-between the buildings to get to him. Nagumo just the gate fence, jumping on the bars and over the fence Nagumo goes though the unfinished building as the monster crashes the gate though chasing him.
Nagumo looks around the unfinished buildings, trying to find anything useful, until he finds his prize.
A nail gun.
Nagumo remembering his dad stopping him from playing with it, running to the nail gun he grabs some tape on the side and wrap it around the trigger to turn off the safety and putting the battery on, Pulling the nail gun out and grabbing a claw hammer as he hides in the side, the monster crash the gate and wonders in the construction sight, looking for Nagumo.
"Where are you human, come on I won't hurt ya" the monster said, looking around for the human.
Nagumo stands back as he waits for the monster, waiting for the right optunatie as he slowly turns to see the monster looking around, the monster turns his head as Nagumo hides again. The Monster saw movement as it walked through the building smelling the human nearby. He goes to a pillar as he moves his head around the pillar not noticing Nagumo right there.
Nagumo looks to his side to see the monster right there, it now or never as he ready's the hammer.
"Come out, Come out wherever you are" The monster looks down to see Nagumo only to meet a hammer to the face.
SQUISH
"AAAAAHHHHH" The monster cries in pain as the hammer is stuck in his face, holding its face in pain with the hammer stuck on it. Nagumo gets out of the monster failing as he shoots nails at the beast.
Piit piit piit piit pittp itt piiit piit piit
The nail gun fires nail after nail into the monster as it cries in pain as it reaches for the hammer to pull it out, the monster grabs the hammer as he pulls it out of its skull, pulling a bit of his face off and blood comes out.
The monster growls as the nails hit it, the monster turns to Nagumo as it roars in pain as more nails hit its face and the eye, roaring in rage the monster charges at Nagumo ready to crush him with his weight.
"Oh shit" Nagumo rolls to the side as the monster smashes into a concrete wall, Nagumo drops to the ground as he runs around the building hiding as the monster growls in rage.
"Oooooeee, ohhh your dead kid, I'm going to rip your face off and smash you into a wall, see how you like it" the monster is pissed as he look for the human who cause him pain, growling as he stomps around hoping to get him to jump out.
Nagumo painted in exhaustion and fear as he couldn't believe what he did, he hit that thing in the face and shot at it, how is he not dead?
Nagumo looks around, seeing the monster smashing the place to find him, Nagumo needs to get out of there, looking around, hoping to find another tool or something. More derby crumbles around Nagumo, this dumbass will bury them both.
Nagumo grabs a mallet on the ground as he looks for an opening, seeing the opening he throws the nail gun, making a lot of noise that got the monster attention as it smashes it way to the noise, hearing it distracted, Nagumo made a run for it, getting out while he still can.
The monster smashes the place where the noise was heard, only to find nothing. Turning around to see the human running away.
"You're not getting away that easily" the monster grabs some alien keys and screwdriver and throws it at the human.
Nagumo felt multiple stabs in the back
"Ahhhhhhhhh" Nagumo gasps in pain, falling on the ground, feeling the items in his back as he could feel his back warm, Nagumo grunt in pain, knowing his blood is leaking out, either he bleeds out or his organ failure.
"Fuck me" Nagumo grunted gasping his mallet, he tries to crawl away.
But something grabs his leg, turning to see the monster grinning at him, with an arm stretched out.
"Out of luck boy" the monster's head expands from his body, showing his stretched neck. The monster flipped Nagumo's body around as the item got deeper into his body.
"Motherfucker" Nagumo gasped in pain as the item went deeper in his body, looking down he saw the monster head closer as he pulled closer to it grinning sharp teeth.
His mind is growing hazy, he losing consciousness, as he sees black spots,
But,
'Like hell, I'm going down without a fight!' Nagumo thought as he forced his arm to move, full gasping the mallet as he turned to see something that could work.
Using what's left of his fading strength he forces all his arm to throw the mallet, missing the monster head, as it laughs at him.
"Hahahhahahah, nice try kid, time to die" The monster's head goes forward, ready to devour the boy, what the monster didn't see was Nagumo wasn't aiming at him.
He was aiming at a metal pole full of metal sheets over the monster head, the monster damaged the structure as the mallet hit the once last place, the noise gave the monster pause as he turned to look and see metal sheets falling down. Eyes widened in shock as the metal sheet came down, slicing his head from his neck and arm from his body's final destination style.
Nagumo looked beyond shocked, no way thinking that would work at all, just wanting to pull one final act of defiance.
Nagumo never thought he would be more alive than ever.
Nagumo grunts in pain, he looks to the side to see more blood flowing under him, he is losing blood fast.
Nagumo groans in pain as he looks around, hoping to find something to help him, something anything. Until he saw it,
His phone must have fallen out of his pocket when he fell, why he didn't call someone early isn't important right now, he needs to call someone now!
Turning around proves to be the most painful thing in his life, but he has to pull through, he could die here, with great pain and more blood be spilled beyond him but he slowly makes it to his phone.
Slowly he pulled the phone to his face, trying to see the numbers to call for help only to stop in shock.
This phone is smashed.
Nagumo looks at his broken phone in shock, whatever energy he had left has left him, not hearing anything and more, slowly losing his senses as he lay down on the ground.
Nagumo's mind is going blank, no longer able to think straight, as he lays there dieing.
'Ah... so this is death, it's so cold' Nagumo said last though, his vision started to darken, soon he saw nothing but darkness.
But before he passed on, Nagumo could have sworn he heard someone walking toward him.
LINE
"WHOA!" Nagumo gasps in pain, waking up with a jolt, holding his head in pain as he tries to massage it. Trying to get rid of this migraine.
"Was that a dream...?" Nagumo muttered to himself, normally he has weird dreams about himself shooting monsters with hot girls but nothing like this.
Nagumo felt his body, never having a dream that was realistic before as he groans in pain, still feeling the phantom pains from whatever happened last night.
"What the hell happened yesterday?" Nagumo wonders as he gets up, feeling different, more different than normal as he feels his back trying to find any blood or anything stabbing him but finds nothing. He still groaned, feeling some kind of pain on his back.
From that day on, Nagumo feels like his whole world is going to turn upside down.
Recently I watched Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekaisaikyou. I love it and learn more about it, might write another fanfic on it but for now this one will do. This was inspired by Transmutation Master DxD by Benedict Phorr, it was good but I thought it needed more. Instead of Nagumo having a ghost of himself from another world follow him around he's dreaming about himself in another reality, based on the new Doctor Strange universe of madness, great movie by the way. But yeah he goes to the school where all supernatural things happen and kills a stray devil but dies in the process. How will Nagumo handle everything now after finding out the truth about the world around him?
