Chapter 1
Thursday, September 1, 2022
Buried deep in my dream, I find myself in a desert filled with swords as far as the eye can see, a sword graveyard.
With me is a huge fox pretending to be asleep, a giant dragon watching me intently and a man I can't describe because he is made entirely of energy, like the rest of a man from a distant time.
I am currently training with him, under the supervision and advice of the red dragon.
"it's pretty decent, but don't wait for a boost to attack, use the time to your advantage to surprise your opponent, partner."
"huff...huff...it's easier said than done anyway"
I look my "opponent" straight in the eyes, ready to resume the fight. On my whole body I can see blue luminous lines, my magic circuits. On my left hand, there is a red gauntlet covering part of my hand and forearm with a green crystal that glitters with a red light.
I get ready to jump, suck in as much energy as I can with my breath and the moment I feel a boost coming, I jump at high speed on him.
"Yes, Ddraig is right young man, use all your abilities to your advantage, but don't forget, in this dream, you are clearly stronger than in reality, so don't take too many stupid initiatives like this."
[Boost!] a deep voice echoes from the gauntlet, causing my power to increase by 2, which surprises me and makes my offensive too brutal and easy to predict, the man simply grabbed me and threw me, falling with a thud.
"Besides, the fox, don't you want to try to help him?" asks Ddraig.
"hmm, help my jailer, what the hell? But go on, sooner or later it will lead him to his loss and I could be free at last." retorts the giant fox.
The dragon doesn't even try to stand up to him.
"Do as you please." he says with a sigh.
As the two supernatural beings glare at each other, I hear a voice calling me echoing in the cemetery.
"Senpai...Senpai...Senpai..."
"oh, it looks like it's time to wake up" said the man.
"Indeed, get out of here quickly or you'll get scolded partner." scoffs ddraig.
I let out a sigh, then concentrate on getting out of my dream. A bright light appears coming out of my chest, then spreads out leaving me bathed in a white room, then everything goes black.
"Senpai, please wake up"
I open my eyes slowly, getting used to the sun coming straight at my face, but a shadow protects me from it. The face of someone I know very well who looks at me with a ... disconcerted look?
"Oh, hello Sakura."
"Yes, hello Senpai".
"Um... Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something weird in my sleep?"
Frowning, her eyes become even sharper. Then she stands up and crosses her arms under her chest.
"Look around you Senpai"
I do as she asks, regaining my senses at the same time, I feel the cold, hard ground, noticing immediately that I have fallen asleep in the shed.
"So Senpai, is this a good place to sleep?"
"Ah that, well I must have fallen asleep trying to fix all those things."
Right next to me is a microwave, a fan and a lot of other objects that I am trying to repair and with which I am practicing by applying some magic.
"This is not the first time you do this senpai, you mustn't make it a habit or you might have big back problems later. and then if Fujimura-sensei finds out..."
"Oh yeah shit that's right Fuji-nee! Um can you save me some time please Sakura!"
"*Sigh* Okay, but hurry up anyway, she should be here soon and if she sees you in that outfit, it's going to be a mess." she said with a laugh.
"Indeed, thank you."
"By the way, when I got there, there was someone in front of the house, she claims to be a childhood friend, so..."
She turns to the entrance of the shelter. I look in the same direction to see a young woman. Blue eyes, with long black hair, in a ponytail on the right side, looking at me with a slight smile and very slightly red cheeks.
I recognized her immediately, but I didn't feel close to revisiting my past acquaintances...
Seeing that I am starting to feel uncomfortable. Sakura bends down and puts herself near my ear. The young woman at the entrance starts blushing intensely at this.
"I know you're still struggling with your past, but she seemed so happy to see you again Senpai, so I guess she had nothing to do with all these events did she?"
I nod gently.
"Alright, so make an effort for both of you ok? the best way to heal your wounds is to take the positive first"
She pats my shoulder and gets up, approaching the entrance, she nods to the guest and walks away, leaving me alone with her.
she is the first to act, she enters the shelter and extends a hand to help me to get up.
"I woke up early on purpose so that we wouldn't be late for our first day of class... While we haven't seen each other in a while... You're still the same, aren't you?" she said with a smile.
I take her hand, stand up and decide to speak.
"You have to believe yes, hello Haruko-nee."
After a brief reunion, I let Haruko go to the dining room, meanwhile I go to my room to change and put for the first time the school outfit, a brown shirt and pants, with black straps. Underneath I wear my white t-shirt with blue sleeves.
When I arrive in the dining room, Haruko is at the table watching the news which scrolls again and again the same things and Sakura who is in the kitchen, preparing the breakfast.
"Sorry Sakura, I'm here to give you a hand."
"No it's okay Senpai, everything is ready, all that's left is to warm up, so go sit down and keep your guest company okay?"
Without flinching, I sit down at my usual place, next to Haruko. She looks at the TV with a serious look. Every day, the same things happen, a threat here, a threat there. Our world is continuously subject to attacks from war, terrorist groups, monsters, even aliens or even from other worlds.
Suddenly, she turns down the sound and turns to me.
"So, what happened after you left the dojo?" she asks me, slightly concerned.
"Well, I ended up in a foster home for a while and..."
Impossible to continue, flashbacks invade my mind, I stay frozen, looking for a way to change the discussion.
Sakura approaches to help me but at the same time, the door opens violently and a familiar person, whom I consider as my big sister stands in front of us, big smile.
"Hi team! How's it going?!" she exclaims in a good mood.
"Hello Fujimura-sensei, how are you?" respond Sakura.
"Hmmm hmmm, very very good, it's back to school after all!"
Fuji-nee, short brown hair and eyes, she is the current owner of the house after the death of my adoptive father. She comes here every day since we moved in, and takes care of me. it will be almost 10 years now. I care about her a lot, but she can be really impossible sometimes.
"Fuji-nee, can you stop pushing the door every time you come in here, you'll end up breaking it one day!"
"Oh but it's okay, it's solid, and then you can always fix it my little Senji, after all you are very strong with your hands! Ahahahah!"
"It's not...*sigh*"
"Um, hello Fujimura-sensei," Haruko said shyly.
Hearing an unfamiliar voice, she turns to the said person and stares at her, freezing in place.
"Hey ho, Fuji-nee, stop staring at her like that, you're making her uncomfortable."
Suddenly, she grabs me by the arm and directs me towards her, when we are close enough so that the two others do not hear us, she whispers:
"who is this beauty? and I told you not to choose your girlfriends by their breasts. From the looks of it she must be an H cup!
"Don't jump to conclusions! She's a childhood friend, you know, before the fire..."
"Oh okay, my bad."
She releases me and coughs slowly to recover from her emotions. Then she turns to Haruko with a wide smile.
"Excuse me for that, I will introduce myself, I am Fujimura, teacher at the school of Kuoh and big sister of heart of Senji! Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, I'm Haruko Amaya, Senji's childhood friend, nice to meet you."
Having our breakfast, Fuji-nee decides to start a discussion. while I watch and listen discreetly, concentrated on my dish.
"So you go to Kuoh school too, like Sakura and Senji?" asks Fuji-nee.
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to going back, this is going to be my second year!".
"Oh really, I just got assigned to it! So tell me, what's it like there?!"
Kuoh School is not a heroic, magical or just a classical school, no, it is everything at the same time. There is no entrance exam and you can touch any subject. Even if people don't have powers. And you come out with a great diploma that will open great doors. For the others at least, I don't really care about the diploma, what interests me is the heroic training that this school offers, becoming stronger to protect the future of humanity is my goal and this school is perfect for it.
"By the way I'm curious, which branch are you going to choose Senji?" asks Haruko.
"Hmm, the heroic branch mostly."
"Oh really, but yet when we were kids you wanted..."
"Yes I know, but unfortunately things change Haruko, my goal now is not necessarily to become a hero, but at least get as close as possible." I say with conviction. This is what I believe in, after all I have no choice, otherwise, why am I still alive? I must become one.
I can see it in Haruko's eyes, that finally I changed more than she thought. She seems sad connecting the threads of the past events. But I prefer to go back to my dish and finish it without saying a word, I can't talk about it, not yet.
"Senji, don't tell me it's because of..."
"Haruko." Fuji-nee cut. "It's almost time to go, you should finish soon ok?" she said with a smile.
Haruko nods slowly, looking at me sideways.
On the side of the road, in front of the entrance of the house, Fuji-nee starts his scooter, ready to leave.
" All right, I'm off, don't take too long, kids, see you at school."
"Okay, be careful on the road, Fuji-nee."
"Don't worry Senji, see you later!"
She starts at full speed and goes off with a bang. She will never change...
"We should go too Senji." interjects Haruko.
"Indeed it's almost time, is everything closed Sakura?" I ask.
"Yes Senpai"
"Alright, so here we go, you show us the way Haruko, you know it better than us don't you?" I ask her.
"Sure, let me be your guide, full speed ahead!" she said enthusiastically.
Since I live in Fuyuki, I know this city by heart. But the way to Kuoh is... complicated. The school is located outside the city, near the mountains which border the city, more precisely at the foot of a big and long mountain, which looks more like a giant pillar with 8 waterfalls falling from it.
The roads of Fuyuki are calm and quiet, there are not many people at this time, so we are alone. But the more we approach the school, the more the roads are steep.
While the two young women talk about things, mainly girl stuff. I enjoy the serenity and the quietness of the place, even if we start to cross other students.
"Partner, be careful but some approach you rather quickly." Ddraig warns me.
"Yay! I wanted to see you again so bad!"
A girl, a year younger than us I would say, jumps affectionately on Haruko-nee, I dodge, imitating a reflex, and catching Sakura to avoid her falling. Dark green eyes, a mix of purple and pink hair... coiffed like Haruko but much shorter.
"It's been a while, Haruko-senpai!" she said with a huge smile. "I wanted to see Senpai as soon as possible so I worked hard to hurry up and grow up!"
"Uruchi-chan... Nice to see you again!" replied Haruko-nee. "You'll grow with time, you don't have to work hard for that."
"Understood..." She turns to Sakura and me. "By the way... The boy next to Senpai..."
(She finally noticed us?)
"Where does this trash come from? "she said with a straight face.
(While she almost pushed Sakura and I, she calls me trash!)
"What a strange character..." remains stumped Ddraig.
"This is my childhood friend Ooyama Senji. Like you, he is a freshman at Kuoh High School! Next to him is Sakura Matou, who will be attending middle school for another year at Kuoh." Haruko introduces us.
"Well, I am Minaya Uruchi and what I love most of all is noodles and Haruko senpai." She looks at me with a challenging look and offers a radiant smile to Sakura.
"Uruchi-chan is from the lower year so she is my Kohai!" continue Haruko. "She's a good girl, so you could become friends without any problems!"
"What I hate... trash and short-legged guys wearing glasses. Nice to meet you!" she continues to flash her sly smile.
"But what she is saying this poor girl, it's not even you!" Ddraig does not understand the situation.
Not seeking to enter her game and provoke a conflict, I shake her hand gently but with enough force to make her understand that I would not enter her little game.
"Me too, but my actual name is Emiya"
Slightly irritated, she let go of my hand, gently squeezed Sakura's, then headed for the school.
"Well, what are we waiting for senpai? Let's go!" said Uruchi cheerfully.
"Wait a bit" answers Haruko looking me straight in the eyes.
She comes very close to me, takes my left hand while staring at me, slightly embarrassed but full of tenderness.
"And to think we haven't seen each other for seven long years!" She tells me with a trembling voice. "Don't you have anything to say to your childhood friend?"
I look at her, lost in her beauty, her soft face, her luscious lips, her generous chest... No, i have to stop here.
"Ahahahahah, if there is well one thing which did not change, it is your weakness in front of women!" wrings of laughter Ddraig.
(No comment...)
"Haruko-nee... You've become even more beautiful than before." I said straight to her eyes, turning her pale cheeks into real tomatoes.
"Ehehe. It's better this way..." She said, accepting the compliment.
Next to us, Sakura is frozen hiding her mouth with her hand, showing a touch of jealousy. Uruchi is pouting. Throwing me lightnings with her look.
Haruko-nee gets up, positions herself between us and the school:
"As vice president of the student council... I am proud to announce the arrival of Uruchi Minaya, Sakura Matou, and Senji Emiya to Kuoh High School!"
"hmmm, guys...?" A young girl asks, surprised.
"Didn't you know that the school became co-ed as of this year?" Ask a small spirit, with flaming hair, pipe in mouth.
"Aaah! yes it's true..." she exclaims.
"Tss you never listen!" retorts the spirit.
"Even if I had listened, it would have done me in!"
Placed upside down on a tree branch, she observes the students coming in.
"But hey...if the principal is okay with accepting hotties too...hmm?"
She notices two students arguing.
"Hahaha... Look at these two!" laughs the young girl.
"... Taking pleasure in watching people fight... it's a funny pleasure!" the spirit remarks wryly.
The girl hanging on the tree, has beautiful sparkling green eyes, long blond hair separated in 2 ponytails on each side of the head, more small on each side of the face and a body more reserved.
"Maybe...but fights are interesting when you know the cause, right?"
"Ojou-sama!" the spirit impatiently says. "Conflicts only arise when someone is looking for trouble!"
"It's a fact..."
"Excuse me!" Asks Senji. "Excuse me !"
Surprised, she looks down to see a young man calling out to her.
"A" Senji doesn't really know what to say.
Taken of panic, the girl raises a leg, those which has for effect to lose its catch on the branch and...
"Whoa !? Wahh !"
"Ojou-sama !"
"Kyaaa ! Huwaah !"
Falls directly on Senji, her lips directly on his.
Recovering her spirits, she raises her head, then puts her hand on her lips, distraught by the situation.
"Are you okay?" asks Senji.
She lowers her head, making contact with his eyes. She has never seen such eyes. Eyes with warm colors, red, orange, yellow, brown... All dancing in the iris like flames. Looking a little better, he is rather handsome, with brown hair like any other guy even if you can see some touch of gray. Sitting on his lower abdomen, she can feel some musculature through his clothes. But what strikes her the most is his aura. He has several, his first, the one of a mage, more... of the monsters, which looks her right in her soul and a last one, extremely familiar.
"So could you stand up, you're not very heavy, but the situation may imply something..."
Embarrassed, she gets up with a jump, then extends her hand to help him to get up.
"Anyway, what do you want from me?" the little blonde asks.
"Ah... Ah yes, the gym! Would you know where the gym is?" asks Senji as he stands up.
"You take this way and go straight!" she indicates with her finger.
"Ah, so that was it...!" looks Senji. "Thanks for your help!"
"Just who is this one?" Wonders the spirit. "Are you okay Ojou-sama?"
"Finally... I can have my revenge!"
The little spirit looks at her, not understanding the situation.
Inside the gym, Senji can see all the 1st graders, the room is not big enough to fit the entire school, so they accommodate students from each grade per day. At the back in the center, a large stage is installed with a lectern and next to it... a lottery?
"Ah... Hello, hello... This is your principal Rukujo Minori, speaking! Ahem- First of all, I wanted to congratulate all the students who have joined our school. Today, apart from welcoming you, I have something to tell you about this school..." She explains on the lectern.
(Apart from this eventful morning... I'm sure I made the right choice to come here. I really have to see what they have to offer in this school.)
"To tell you the truth, I'm not used to long speeches, so I'm not going to beat around the bush..." continues the principal. "My motto for this school is... Mental Beauty Physical! To have a mind of steel and an outstanding physique while preserving your beauty! My motto remains the same, even though our school has become co-ed! My concept is to let our girls and boys flirt together. While obeying the rules, they are free to choose between "falling in love" and "growing up"! Magic, Alter, Spirtual Force, Chakra etc... there are all kinds of skills that we will just call elements. Don't think that your future will be brighter after your passage in this school, our world is in full crisis and it has been for decades, you will have work, even for those who do not possess or do not want to use their element. Then make the most of your 5 years to learn to master the "elements"! But a demonstration is better than a long speech!"
At these words, a student spins the lottery, and gets 4 balls.
(Why do I get the impression that this principal is not the one that was on the site?)
"Here we go for a little demo, it will entertain you! The 4 students I will call will be asked to come to the stage! Kinua Garreto! Shinatsu Azuki! You will go up on the stage behind me! Then Himegami Kodama! And finally, Senji Emiya! Both of you are requested to hurry to the stage in front of me! Oh yes, I specify that each duel is limited to three minutes since it is only a demonstration! Also make sure our medical team is present!"
On the stage, Azuki Shinatsu has short red hair and purple eyes with a bandage on the top of her nose and wears a pair of purple fingerless gloves. His opponent Kinua Garreto, has sky blue hair tied with a small ribbon, blue eyes and carries a sword.
While Kinua takes the pose, waiting for her opponent, Azuki stretches preparing herself for the fight, all two sure of them.
"Ohoho, we finally meet Azuki-chan! that we fight each other here... wouldn't that be our destiny?" begins Kinua.
"Shhh. I've been waiting for this moment to settle the score once and for all!" adds Azuki.
"Ohoho, but don't you think that in a situation like this, we could look for another way to get along! Anyway, it doesn't matter, you can say what you want! If I win, you have to give it back to me!"
"You are really obstinate young lady! If I win, you'll have to stop boring me with this business!"
"Well, let the first duel begin!" Announces the principal.
"Got it, duel accepted!" Kinua begins to draw her sword.
"Ready! Go!"
"Here we go! Magic sword! The scythe" Kinua attacks first.
With an arc movement, Kinua creates a blade of energy that goes straight to Azuki.
Azuki jumps to dodge the energy blade, which goes straight into a wall and explodes.
"Cool" Senji looks on.
"The magic sword "Scythe" will follow the will of its master whatever it is!" explains Kodama. "It has the power to continuously throw sickles creating large waves of blades at very high speeds."
"Does she take us for blind people?" Ddraig complains.
Avoiding to stir up Ddraig's annoyance, I concentrate on the said sword. It is not very impressive, but the guard has in its center, a shining red stone, surely the origin of the energy and the quillons are spread of some centimeters thanks to small pistons.
"But against an opponent like the 'raging eagle', such speed is useless!" Kodama finished.
"Up there!?" the students exclaim.
Looking up, Azuki, is in the air near the roof which is 8 meters from the ground. She swings gracefully, preparing to run into Kinua.
"You surprised me, I must admit, but... I consider aerial opponents as common chickens!" Kinua tries to throw Azuki off balance with an insult. "It's over for you!"
Kinua, with a new stroke of her sword, throws a blade of energy straight at Azuki.
"Take flight" ignoring Kinua's mockery, Azuki summons heels of the same appearance as Kinua's sword. "Magic heel! " Hawk!"
She dodges the energy blade by taking support on the air, lands behind Kinua with a spin. Kinua surprised, tries to face her opponent, Azuki being faster, kicks directly on Kinua's face but stops just before the impact.
"Heh! The game is over! The winner is Shinatsu Azuki!"
"I lost to her again..."
"Normal... you were too careless and on top of that you were always talking during the duel..." Explained Azuki. "If you hadn't let your guard down at the last moment, you could have dodged easily!"
"He...He's not coming back right?"
"Ah we said you'd drop me with that story!"
"Indeed... Oh my poor little teddy bear...! From now on Azuki-chan will take care of you and hug you tightly, every night crying her eyes out!"
(Seriously Azuki is like that...? Considering her look it's hard to believe.)
"You... How do you know that? Uh... Don't bring that up again!" Azuki exclaimed, her cheeks red with shame.
"This is my little revenge!" Kinua scoffs.
(That's what one of the many papers sent by the school explained, if one wished, one could register on a list to receive a "Maken", it's probably these magic weapons that both have, I wonder if I did well to register there...)
"Hey..."
"Hmmm, no that's a good decision, it's always helpful to have more than one trick in your arsenal, partner." Ddraig reassures me.
"Hey I'm talking to you kid!"
"Ah yes !?" (kid ?)
I turn to the direction of the voice. Kodama is standing next to me, obviously impatient.
"Are you okay, not too nervous? Don't try to hide it!" asks Kodama.
"Ah no it's okay."
"It's okay... just relax a little!"
(Is she deaf or something?)
"Of course I wouldn't be so serious during the game so... You'll pretend to do karate by taking the posture, while doing a little comedy and it's done! Do you understand?" commands Kodama.
"Um, I don't need that..." (She really doesn't listen to me...)
Further in the room, I can see some faces that I recognize, but I prefer to ignore them, except Fuji-nee, who seems to be really worried even if she knows what I am capable of. (even if I still can't beat her in Kendo...) I see another worried face, Haruko's one.
"Will it be okay? Since his opponent is Himegami-senpai...!" worries Haruko. "Hmm... I'm worried!"
Placed on the stage, Kodama turns to me one last time before going to place herself to begin the confrontation.
"Do what I said and everything will be fine!"
Without waiting for an answer, she turns around and moves forward to create space. I sigh and begin to stretch and charge my magic circuits, which begin to glow with a neon blue light.
"That aura I felt emanating from him... There is no mistake... This guy... He is the enemy that I must fight!" she said, glancing at Senji. "Plus he stole my first kiss..!"
"What do you suggest Ojou-sama?" asks the fire spirit.
"Are you worried about me fire god!? don't worry... I won't kill him... at least for now..."
"Um but..."
"Thunder god!" calls Kodama.
A new spirit appears, as small as the first, with hair made of light.
"What is it?"
"Try sticking a timer-type lightning ball into this idiot's heart! As you can see, he's only a novice mage, it's just a matter of time before he perishes because his heart will stop beating!"
"With all due respect Ojou-sama, it's foolish to do that in front of such a crowd! Even if you bear a grudge against him! And then I think you underestimate him, have you already forgotten the aura of monsters that emanated from him?" The fire spirit tries to reason with Kodama.
"Enough is enough! I know all this but... It's my blood... that won't calm down..."
"hey first year, do your best! Well...here we go!" Announces the principal.
(Hmmm she was next to Haruko, which means she's at least a second year... why should I be the one to get it...)
(Oh here she comes...)
Kodama runs towards me and when our eyes make contact, I can see the look of a hunter on her prey.
(Well, if you want to go all out, I won't mind either! Trace on Strengthening)
I increase the abilities of my whole body, then charge the magic circuits of my legs and dash towards kodama, fist back, ready to strike.
"Breeze..."
Kodama seems to charge an electric attack. Fortunately for me, thanks to my reinforcement, my body is not conductive anymore, it will still hurt, but it will be bearable.
Shortly before the moment of impact, when there is only a few meters left, a girl comes between us, blocking Kodama's attack.
"Magic fist! "Gauntlet!""
Beautiful... that's the first word that comes to mind when I see the magic " gauntlet ". In the center of the back of the hand, a green stone surrounded by a golden ornament, the whole hand part is white, the fingers, replaced by claws are golden, even the joints have golden ornaments, and the forearm is entirely red with golden contours and patterns.
Surprised, Kodama suddenly moves back and takes a defensive position.
"What !?"
Further back on the stage, the principal looks at the scene with astonishment.
"This magic object... It is not an imitation! but if it is the case..." she wonders.
Coming out of my confusion, I approach the girl, she is rather cute, small, with neck-length or shoulder-length light brown hair that is tied in two small high pigtails with two yellow Crisscross hairclips on the right side, dark brown eyes.
"Uh... Who are you?" I ask.
She turns to me, a big smile on her pretty face.
"We finally meet... Senji-sa...ma..."
She cannot finish her sentence as she falls unconscious and her gauntlet disappears.
I catch her before she falls to the ground.
"Call the medical team quickly!" the principal demands.
In the infirmary, the girl is lying down, breathing slowly, I am sitting on a chair near the bed and... Kodama is "watching" us, leaning against a wall.
After several minutes, she finally opens her eyes looking around and stops on me.
"Mm..."
"Ah, you finally woke up."
"...Senji-sama ? Where am I?"
"In the infirmary. You're just exhausted so rest for a little while and you'll be fine."
"Senji-sama, did you stay by my side until now?"
"Well, you stopped the duel so..."
She gets up suddenly, not letting me finish.
"Ah, can you get up already?"
"Yeah, as long as I recover a little bit... and then..."
She brings her face close to mine, inspecting me and suddenly she embraces me, wrapping her arms around my neck, her cheek against mine.
"I'm so happy to see you again Senji-sama!"
(How does she know my name? And why is she so polite to me? Huwah... Her breasts are big and soft !)
"Ahahah, I hope you never get used to this feeling partner, because you'll be entitled to it even more in the future!" Ddraig bursts out laughing.
"hehe, Senji-sama you smell so good!"
(...Well, I'll stay like this for a while then...)
The door of the infirmary opens, revealing the principal and... Haruko.
"Ya...Ho your beloved principal came especially to visit you!"
Inaho blocking me with her arms, I am unable to turn around, but I feel a threatening aura coming from Haruko...
"Oh ho... So, you're already up and about!" I can hear the principal walk over, grab a chair and sit down next to us.
"Yes! It's all thanks to you!"
"That's good to hear! If something bad had happened, I would have been in trouble with the school principal."
(I suspected that she was not the only principal here, because the motto she gave is not at all the one of the school ...)
"sorry to have caused you trouble...!"
A silence settles, and I'm still stuck in her arms, unable to move even though I don't really want to move...
"Is that all you have to say!?" Haruko shouts into the room, frustrated by the situation.
"Why is there anything else?" asks the principal nonchalantly.
"Are you kidding!? It's immoral to do that kind of thing at their age!"
"Immoral eh... I don't see the problem if it's kids or adults, they'll do it sooner or later right? and also... The little one will share Senji's house..." she said with a big smile.
Hearing those last words, I force her arms open to face the principal. I hadn't gotten a good look at her from her lectern, but she has long, dark pink hair that is held in a high ponytail by a black ribbon and orange-brown eyes. She is wearing an orange colored sweat suit with white stripes on the sides and a pair of slippers.
"Excuse me, but it seems to me that I have a say in this, right?"
"Ah sure, but you wouldn't want her to sleep in a dorm where she knows absolutely no one when you get along so well? and then you live near the school don't you, two problems solved at once!"
I turn my gaze towards the girl, which looks at me with bright eyes, full of hope... Impossible to say no, isn't it?
"All right, but the house really belongs to Fujimura-sensei, and not sure if she accepts other people..."
"Oh, you are an acquaintance of Fujimura! Ok no problem, I'll talk to her and it will be settled!"
"Eh Ehh!? What kind of stupid reasoning is that!" Haruko gets angry, who shouts in the principal's ears.
Leaning against the wall, Kodama looks at the scene with boredom.
'Tsss, it's noisy here... I should find a way to leave my room... hmm...'
"Madam Principal..." Kodama raises her hand.
"Did you talk to me?" the principal asks, unclogging her ears.
"Lately, my roommate has developed a passion for a strange religion... Every night she recites incantations and I can't sleep at all... If it's possible, I'd like to change my room!"
"Ah... You've knocked on the right door then Himegami-chan... I suggest you stay at Senji's house too!"
"He-hey...!" Haruko interjects again, pouting. "As the leader of the homes I wouldn't accept that!"
The principal looks at her, not at all impressed.
"I'm the boss around here !" exclaims the principal with a proud smile pointing her thumb at her..
Defeated, Haruko starts to cry, steam coming out of her head ?
"Well Senji, I'll leave you to deal with these two!"
"Ah hum, no worries..."
"No, it can't... I want to... I just want to stay with my Senji-chan !" Haruko shouts.
(Senji-chan...)
Realizing what she said out loud, Haruko freezes.
On the other hand, the principal seems to have a lot of fun from the smile she has.
"Permission granted!"
(oh boy...)
Haruko's face is completely red, her brain probably boiling.
"hehe, this is going to be lively!" Said the girl still entwined around me.
"Ah... yeah... By the way... I still don't know your name."
"Sorry for the late introduction. I am Kushiya Inaho! From today I will be the one in charge of Senji-sama's protection... Normal for her fiancée!" *Chu*
Without hesitation she presses her lips to my cheek, making a slight sound and a strangely pleasant sensation...
Everyone is looking at us, eyes wide open.
"Unacceptable! Simply unacceptable!"
"Calm down vice president Haruko, there is nothing we can do about it if they are already promised!"
"No that's not the problem, Aaah-ah-ahhhh!"
"Take care of me! Senji-sama!"
"Ah... Yes... yes..."
Hello, bonjour ! and thank you for reading this first chapter! sorry for the mistakes / text errors, my French doesn't really help, but I'll try to improve I promise! I always wondered, what if we mixed "all" fiction universes (Anime, manga, light novel, and even video game, after all why not) in one and the same universe, where the MC are one. what does it give ? obviously there won't be everything, but already everything I've read, at least I'll try. And the heart, for me, the most impact in the story, will be the plot of High school dxd, this is what offers the most change for the Mc, because yes, I have a story line for this, because I planned that it lasts long. But enough explanation, I'll let you discover the story, if you have any question, don't hesitate. I'm going to start on chapter 2. See you soon!
