Chapter 1 Just Another Ordinary Morning In Class
Hello, we have a new project, I hope you like it....
I woke up with my head resting on my hand. In front of Sensei's desk, there were the center-of-attention "sunny" boys and girls in the class. By the window, there were the delinquent group trying to show off their identity by wearing their uniforms in a disheveled manner. The scene in front of me was the same as always, the typical morning view of the classroom that I've seen countless times.
(Here we go again...)
I thought to myself with annoyance. The fatigue from just moments ago still weighed heavily on me. It's not physical tiredness. It's the exhaustion clinging heavily to my heart and mind. Of course, it would be. I had just been locked in a life-and-death struggle with monsters from another world, and I had just died.
Now, I sensed someone approaching from behind. I didn't even need to look to know who it was.
"Akito~, looking sleepy as always. Were you gaming until morning again? Or were you browsing through some dirty sites, you introverted creep?"
With those words, Fukui Akihiro, who was trying to act all high and mighty, placed his hand on my head and ruffled my hair. He's not exactly a handsome guy with his small eyes and big nose, and he only imitates the hairstyle of a popular model. He's one of the so-called "sunny" group, but he's not that popular. To draw attention to himself, he chooses a quiet guy in the class to tease. A truly likable "sunny" person wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.
But I pushed Fukui's arm away without saying a word. Fukui seemed surprised by my attitude. But that surprise quickly turned into anger.
"What the hell are you doing, you bastard?"
I stood up without answering. I don't have time to deal with this guy now. However, it seems that our exchange has caught the attention of the other students in the class. Fukui must have felt his pride being crushed. He forcefully grabbed my shoulder from behind as I tried to head towards the hallway.
"You, don't ignore me. Who do you think you are, Akito?"
But instead, I grabbed Fukui's hand. And I stared at him quietly. Fukui looked into my eyes and held his breath.
From his perspective, I must be the same as always, a quiet and easy target for bullying, like one or two introverted kids in the class. But from my perspective, this has happened many times before, and moreover, I know Fukui's true nature. That he is an irredeemable piece of trash.
I stood still for about 2 to 3 seconds, then released Fukui's arm and started walking again. I could hear Fukui's dismissive voice from behind.
"Trying to act cool, even though you're an introvert."
I brushed off those words. Yes, after all, I had returned to this morning for a reason. I couldn't afford to waste time. There were too many things I had to do.
As I left the classroom, I ran into Akamine Alice and Midoritani Tsubasa. Akamine Alice is the epitome of a beautiful girl at School. Her slightly brownish hair is natural, and she's apparently a quarter Japanese. Her figure is perfect, and during physical education class, she attracts the attention of all the boys. But most importantly, her good quality is her kind and honest personality. Despite being popular not only in the class but in the whole school, she never flaunts it and treats everyone equally.
"Hey, Akito-kun. Where are you going? Class is about to start soon."
She said this with a smile as beautiful and lovely as a flower, combining both beauty and sweetness in her appearance. She's the kind of person who cares and talks to someone like me, who usually doesn't stand out. But... I'm sorry, but her kindness is a hindrance to me right now.
"Just need to go to the store...forgot something."
As I said that and tried to leave, Midoritani Tsubasa approached me this time.
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the classroom?"
She is a sporty girl with a short bob hairstyle. She belongs to the archery club, but her speed has led to multiple invitations to join the track and field team. With a tomboyish personality, she hates dishonesty and can't stand people like Fukui, who only pick on those who won't fight back. She's probably worried about "me being teased by Fukui since this morning" even now.
"No, that's not true. But what about Akamine-san and Midoritani-san?"
I twisted the conversation in an attempt to divert attention. Being interrogated by the righteous Midoritani Tsubasa would be a waste of time.
"We were cleaning the erasers because they were dirty."
Akamine Alice said, holding the erasers in both hands with a bright expression.
"I was accompanying her. Like Alice's bodyguard, maybe?"
Midoritani Tsubasa added. Perhaps because if Akamine Alice were alone, she would be approached by boys from other classes right away.
"I see. Thanks as always. Well then."
I said, then quickly distanced myself from the two. Akamine Alice seemed like she still wanted to say something, but now was not the time.
Fifteen minutes later, I gathered everything I needed as much as possible.
I returned to the classroom just before the morning activity started.
Around the same time, the class teacher, Kawaharasaki-sensei, entered the classroom.
Kawaharasaki Ai is 26 years old and teaches English. She has long black hair tied up and clear-cut features, making her a beautiful woman. Her figure is well-balanced to the point where you might think she could become a gravure model. She is a young and beautiful teacher who is enthusiastic about her students and their lessons.
Naturally, she is popular among students of all genders. Everyone calls her "Aichan-sensei" and is friendly with her.
"Good morning, Akito-kun. Where were you?"
Kawaharasaki-sensei, who happened to meet me in front of the classroom, spoke to me with her usual gentle smile. Kawaharasaki-sensei always pays attention to students like me who are called "introverts," as well.
She herself loves manga, anime, and games, and actively initiates conversations about them to ensure that quiet students do not feel isolated. At the same time, she also interacts fairly with the central extroverted students in the class, playing volleyball with them, for example. She is also the advisor for the basketball club and is said to be enthusiastic about coaching even on holidays.
"Ah, no, I'll go to the store for a bit."
I mumbled my words.
Earlier it was Akamine Alice, and now it's Kawaharasaki-sensei.
Being able to have conversations with two popular beautiful women since morning is probably a stroke of luck. If it were just an ordinary day, but...
"Is that so? Your expression is dark, is something wrong?"
"No, there's nothing."
"If you have any worries, don't hesitate to talk to me."
Sensei gently placed her hand on my back and said that.
"Yes, thank you."
I said only that and distanced myself from Sensei.
Considering what is about to happen, I can't possibly laugh and accept Sensei's kindness. Sensei looked slightly puzzled, but as usual, she stood at the podium.
Several male students were looking at Sensei with a mix of admiration and jealousy, and they were looking at me, who had just talked to Sensei, with eyes full of envy. In a sense, it was lucky that I talked to Akamine Alice in the corridor.
Now, Kawaharasaki-sensei greeted the class with "Good morning, everyone," and the entire class responded with "Good morning" in return.
"Yes, everyone, you all seem lively today."
Sensei said with a bright smile. One of the outgoing boys responded, "Well, that's because we get to see Aichan-sensei again today!" which drew playful banter. Immediately, a female student accused, "Shimura, that's sexual harassment!" provoking laughter in the class.
In response to the students, Kawaharasaki-sensei replied with a smile, "Well, thank you. Then, Shimura-kun, aim to please Sensei next time and get a good grade on the next regular test. I expect at least an 80 in English."
When Shimura expressed, "That's impossible. I've never scored above 40 in English," the class erupted in laughter and teasing once again.
The beginning of school's bright and enjoyable school life. However, I knew that soon this laughter would turn into a living hell. The moment was rapidly approaching. Even though I've experienced it many times, the nervousness was so intense that I felt a slight dizziness.
"And now, I will take attendance."
Sensei opened the attendance book.
"Aoki-san."
"Yes."
Aoki Runa, one of the bright and cheerful members of the popular group, replied while fiddling with her bright brown hair. She was a slightly loose and fashionable girl.
"Akamine-san."
"Yes!"
Akamine Alice's clear voice carried well. Some of the classmates unconsciously turned their gaze towards her. She was someone who attracted attention. And for me, she was someone I had to pay attention to from now on.
Sensei continued to call out names one after another. Number 12, Kiridani Jun, the leader of the popular boys. Number 14, Kondo Shuichi, the other leader of this class and the student council president.
There were a total of 36 students in this class. Without realizing it, I had started to sweat sticky sweat on my forehead. Tension ran through my entire body. The crucial moment was just around the corner. When my attendance number, 31, was called...
I unconsciously closed my eyes.
"Hojou Akito-kun"
I opened my eyes.
"Yes..."
As I replied, my right hand was already grabbing the backpack by the side of the desk. When Sensei tried to call the next student's name, the whole classroom felt like it was shaking greatly. The other students also noticed it.
"An earthquake?"
Someone murmured. But this was not the tremor of an earthquake. The entire space began to distort as if it were underwater.
"W-what is this?"
A male student said. Everyone looked around. Kawaharasaki-sensei also looked around the classroom with an uneasy expression. Several students stood up. The shaking and distortion became more intense. The ground lost its stability, feeling like it was undulating. A sense of nausea welled up.
"Ugh"
Someone let out a voice as if enduring it. Sensei shouted, "Open the door!" But there were no students who could respond to that. The floor had already turned into a viscous gel-like state, making it impossible to walk. Objects in the classroom seemed to be melting and losing their shape. Everything in sight became blurred, swirling around.
And in the next moment...
We stood in a desolate grassland, dotted with rocks as tall as a person's height.
