Humanly Tough - (To Love-Ru Darkness x DBX1+2, HumanFighter!MC)

Three months ago… I finished the greatest adventure I could have ever hoped to take part in.

As a young human orphan that lived in a dimension where stuff like Saiyans and other aliens were not known, but where technological advances created by Capsule Corps made life easy.

No one could have told me and made me believe that I was soon going to be yanked in another dimension where I would be an active fighter. The proper terminology for what role I took for a while is 'Time Patroller', but I was indeed trained on how to fight against various opponents of all sorts of kinds.

I was limited since the potential of mankind was limited when compared to Arcosians/Frost Demons, Namekians, Majins and, most important of them all, the Saiyans.

That didn't stop me from getting quite strong in the span of two eventful years, facing the dangerous Demigra and his plot to control the multiverse, and Towa with her plot to create the ultimate being. I wasn't alone, but even with stronger warriors by my side both situations took some desperate turns at times, putting extra importance in how much I trained.

However, as the Demon Empire's ambitions seemed to be fully contained for the time being and new stronger rookies were being recruited, I felt like my stay in the Time Patrol Corps was… unneeded. Not as much as feeling worthless, but I felt compelled to retire now as I felt things were only getting tougher and my 'limits' were now closer than ever.

At the current peak I got by mastering my Ki, being given a boost from the Supreme Kai and then tapping into God Ki, I was barely as strong as Gohan was when he faced Super Buutenks. Quite strong, but far from touching someone like the Gods of Destruction and those around that level.

When I reached out with Chronoa about my desire to go home, there was a lot of chatting over my reasons and my own perspective on the matter. She made it clear my decision would not lead to anyone to think I was a coward since I had been on the frontline through most of those two crises, but she also reasoned I should give it a few more days.

It wasn't like I was going back to something important - as an orphan, I hardly had much of an important bond back home, so it felt 'odd' for me to just leave. But I just felt like this sort of life was slowly chipping away at what I could achieve without having to be put through the intense brawls of these patrols.

Finally, after a full month of thinking about it, I was given the chance to use Shenron and wish myself back home… Yet something happened after the wish was realized.

The request was clear enough, so I was sure it wasn't the issue. But when a beam of light took me away from in front of the dragon and took me to the entrance of a city that wasn't my hometown… I knew something was going on. And it wasn't good.

Sainan City. The name reminded me of Satan City, but there was no mention of Videl's father. No, the place was nowhere in the right 'multiverse' to begin with. No God of Destruction, no Arcosians, Namekians, Saiyans and even Majins.

It was just humans from the looks of it… and some unusual people with high power levels. Not high enough to be a threat to me but it was indeed a weird circumstance. And as I tried to see if I could somehow go back, I realized I was indeed stuck there.

…Crapbasket.

It wasn't exactly the end of the world, no. I would say that I had a big bag with enough rations for a month, some capsules with a full-functioning house and other relevant stuff from Bulma, and even my training gear.

After finding a safe enough place near the city that could be settled for my house, I turned my attention to Sainan City, and I explored it thoroughly. A seemingly normal city and… one I would have to live by if I wanted to avoid being suspected of being some 'odd weirdo' and draw more attention than I needed.

Hence why I went to the closest high school, Sainan High, and was able to convince the principal to enroll me at his school. What really confused me about that last bit was how easy I got in.

I thought I would have had to either bribe or find a way to falsify documentation, but the guy said something like 'you would not be the first without proper paperwork, but the important thing is that you receive education'.

Weird but also… nice?

Ignoring the strange words, I prepared for the first school day. And I was sure things would have gone great as I managed to convert some golden ore I had on me for some of the local money, buy books and the uniforms for the school, and then I was off to the big day.

All was set for a good day… and I kind of almost messed up when I woke up a little later than I had planned. I cursed the stupid alarm clock for not working properly and leaving me with an hour less to get ready.

I was zooming at an 'acceptable' pace, trying my best to be fast but not too 'inhumanly' fast. And I managed to make it in time by turning the corner and getting to the right class.

However, I realized that everyone was already inside the room and that the teacher was clearly introducing two new classmates already.

The first was currently being besieged by most of the guys in the classroom, while the other, a girl with pink hair combed in pigtails was chatting with another girl, this one with red hair kept short through a lone braid.

As I stepped inside, the teacher noticed me and smiled. "I suppose you are Tamaki Masao-san."

I nodded and the man stood up and cleared his throat. "Students, the third new student is also here. Please, introduce yourself."

Smiling, I did so as I turned to the rest of the class. "Nice to meet you all, my name is Tamaki Masao, I hope that we can all be friends."

And the reaction was… quite muted. If not glacially silent as the boys went back to fawn after the girl they were talking with, while the rest was just distracted by other stuff.

I thought that I would have passed as a plain friendless student again, but I was surprised when a student did approach me. And with her, her other friend.

"I am Mea, I don't mind more friends~!" The redhead from before chirpily greeted me.

"M-Mea-chan," The pinkette spoke moments after her friend. "You can't just- I mean… I-I am Nana."

"Nice to meet you both."

"Where are you from, Masa-kun?" Mea pressed, causing Nana to appear quite embarrassed for this behavior.

"Mea-chan, you can't just ask someone like that!" The pinkette snapped, and then appeared apologetic. "Sorry, she is just… a little too much at times."

I chuckled. "That's alright. I mean, I guess she just has never seen me before, right?"

The redhead nodded and I continued.

"Well, that's because I don't live in Sainanin, just outside of it."

"Oh, that makes sense," The girl nodded in agreement. "Also, are you a beast too?"

"...A what?"

"S-Stop it, Mea-chan!" Nana snapped again but… then turned to give me a flat look. "A-Also, you better not get any funny ideas."

"About what?" I asked, frowning at what was going on about this 'beast' thing.

"Y-You know, being a pervert and all."

…Oh!

"Oh, I don't do that. I prefer to train than being that sort of dumbass."

Nana looked confused by this, while Mea giggled. "So, he is not a beast!"

The pinkette opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it, shaking her head and just backing off.

I wasn't sure what it was all about, but since Mea and Nana were sticking by and we ended up sitting close, it was fair to say that, despite some grim expectations for the year, I had actually managed to make two friends.

I just didn't expect these two had some interesting relations and connections.

AN

If Nana is the Tsundere, Mea is the social butterfly, then Masao is the odd component of the trio that can be dense, a bit of a muscle head and yet the lovable friendly dork.

Thus Momo's plan may soon be put in jeopardy as this will play heavily on Nana's heart.
