It has been two years and a few months of junior year in high school. After a lot of misunderstanding with our class, Hajime and Selena became close buds. Most lunchtime they hangout on the roof just chill waiting for school to end. Selena ended up meeting Hajime mom and dad, and really loves his folks.
'I can see why his wish will end up being going home with a loving family. I just hope that when the time comes I will be able to help him out, since in my last life, I never killed. Scary to think of the unknown and what the next step will be.'
Lunch time
Hajime was sleeping after scarfing down his food while Selena was drawing in her sketch pad. It looked like he pulled those 2 all nighters again and finally caught up to him. Kouki and his friends walks towards their desk in the back. Selena was getting weird looks from class like normal since no one knows why she is friends with Hajime.
"Hey there Selena, how are you doing?" Kouki says with a smile that would make girls swoon all over him.
Selena looked at him with an eye roll and said "I'm good just look out for bud here since he is tired again would you please leave us alone."
"Why try to push us away? We just want to check up on you two since they are always separate from the group." Kaori says as she puffs out her cheeks like a squirrel.
'Man, I kind of want to poke her cheeks to see what happens, hehe' Selena muses while looking at Kaori talking to her. As Selena looks at Shizuku helplessly trying to get her to help but look at Selena nodding her head with the looks convey it all 'no rest for the wicked.'
Hajime looked up at Selena and over to Amanogawa group with a distracted face as if the day was going to hell. "Hello guys, how are you doing?"
"We are great, we were just wondering if you want to eat with us since you didn't leave for the rooftop with Selena" Kaori says as she gave me the stink eye.
"Oh, no, I already ate," Hajime says as he pulls out the wrapper of the protein bar he finished scarfing down. All while thinking, 'Man, don't those four look like the perfect party to save the world. Kouki the hero, Kaori the white mage, Ryutarou the tank, and Shizuku the DPS.'
As those words are spoken the class starts to shine blue as I know it's finally time to get summoned to Tortus. Selena looks at Hajime and grabs his hand since she is still scared of being teleported for the first time. With a blinding light, the classroom was empty with only the bags of the students and their leftover food remains.
When Selena opens her eyes, she finds herself in a white void with only Kirito standing in front of her.
"Okay Selena the time has come" Kirito says as he smirks at her.
"Wait, why am I here again. Am I dead?" Selena exclaims as she touches herself to feel for her body then calms down realizing she was not a disembodied soul like the last time.
"We don't have much time girl." Kirito says as his tone becomes more serious, "you need to be aware that there will be people after you since you have a soul that is much stronger than most ordinary ones. So I took the liberty to mask it for a while."
Selena deadpan towards Kirito. "Okay, well, will I finally be able to use the powers that I wished for?"
"Haha, you are funny your body can't use Chakra yet silly. You need to evolve your body in the abyss. If I had made you able to use chakra you would have been seen by that fake God right away!" Kirito says as he reverts back to his jovial tone.
"Till we meet again, Selena" Kirito says as her soul gets pulled back into a bright white room with a magic circle.
Four priests around the group of students and a single teacher, Aiko. Their homeroom teacher was standing in front of the student like a protective mother looking out for danger.
Selena felt like someone was looking at her whole class for some strange reason. After a while the feeling disappeared and she let out a sigh as she calmed her nerves.
Hajime quickly pulled his hand away from Selena as if he was blushing, "Selena why did you do tha-" but was cut off. Selena saw Kaori glare from the corner of her eye out of envy since she wished it was her grabbing Hajime hand and Shizuku was exasperated as she looked at her friend like this wasn't the time for that.
"I am Pope Ishtar Langbard" one of the priests says, "We will lead you to another room to inform you on the current situation."
