Their ragtag of friends soon arrived at the entrance of the school building while talking amongst themselves. They all split up and went to their respective classed without forgetting to bid their farewells.
The moment they settled on their seats inside the classroom their homeroom teacher walked in side. She was a voluptuous woman with her hair tied to the back. She wore a maroon office suit contrasting her pale skin yet matches her hair. Yet the most striking thing was the whip she was holding, hitting the noisiest student causing mischief.
"Settle down! Homeroom has begun!" She bellowed whilst staring down each and everyone of her students. After greeting their homeroom teacher she then took attendace. She quickly went through everyone's names.
She then fixed her hair then stared at her students, "As for this week's announcement. There will be a morning assembly on Monday, and finally a Physical fitness test on Thursday."
She cleared her throat and slammed her palms towards her desk. "Incidentally on friday a new transfer student from Lubeck, Germany would be joining our class. I expect you all to be on your best behavior once they show up!" She said rousing cheers from both the boys and the girls.
Umeko cracked her whip across the floor creating a crisp sound. "Silence!"
"If you have questions ask them one by one!" She said as she pointed towards Gakuto who was eagerly raising his hand. "Is it a girl?? Is she hot? Does she have big boobs!?!?!?" Then another girl raised her hand. A pale-skinned girl with yellow eyes and light brownish yellow hair down to her shoulders. Ogasawara Chika, the most popular girl in class other than the members of Yamato's ragtag group. "Is it a guy? Is he handsome? Is he rich?"
Kazuko sighed at their antics, "Geez, the boys should atleast try to hide it."
Then another boy retorted to her remark. He had brown eyes and brown hair, he is the shortest male member in his class, his head also resemble a monkey, specially when he put his perverted smile. Fukumoto Ikurou the renowned camera man of their class especially when it cam to erotic stuff. "You girls acted the same way."
Then another girl raised her hand. She had pink eyes, and pink hair tied into pigtails. She has the appearance of an elementary student despite being older than she looks. Amakusa Mayo, the responsible big sister of their class. "Ms. Kojima which is it?"
Umeko smiled slightly and said, "It's a secret." Only to be met with silence. "That was a joke. So look forward to Friday. This ends homeroom."
She then left the classroom as it became more rowdy leaving them for the next teacher to deal with. Time passed by quickly and and before anyone could process the lessons it was already breaktime.
"Hey Hey! What are your thoughts about the transfer student?" Ikurou said rousing the class back to life.
"If this was a visual novel game, they'd be a beautiful girl for sure." Moro chimed.
"What if she had giant bazongas!? If it were up to me, I'd make her my girl and feel her up every night!" Ikurou said, earning the ire of all womankind.
Chika stared at Ikurou like he was a radioactive human filth that speaks, "That guy is totally disgusting..."
As the insults devolved into a full blown argument. A skinny boy with long hair and glasses commented on his remarks. He wore a moe anime shirt underneath his uniform. Oogushi Suguru. Their resident hardcore Otaku. "You're far too horny. You expect far too much from the real world." He said as he refocused his attention back to his game.
Ikurou facepalmed and screamed, "Ahh! I wanna shove 'it' to the hole I carved into my desk!"
Gakuto panicked and immediately grabbed Ikurou by his shoulders. "Calm down Yonpachi! There's plenty of time to get down to business after we confirm it's a girl!"
Yamato sighed at the sight of his classmates going gung ho. "Those are going crazy over there. What do you think, Miyako? I mean it's a German exchange student."
Miyako flipped her philosophy book and replied perfunctorily, "Nothing really." Yamato smiled wryly, "Figures. What about you wanko?" He said as he stared at his other childhood friend. Kazuko was sitting in front of him so to get her attention he pulled on her ponytail.
"Gyaaah! Warn me before you do something like that!" She said as she turned towards Yamato. "I hope they're tough. I want a proper duel!" Yamato sighed once more. "Figures... What about you Gen-san?" He said as he stared at his final hope for a good conversation.
However Tadakatsu clicked his tongue, "Shut it. I'm gonna sleep. Say one word to me and you're dead." Yamato stared at the windows, "I've never heard of this Lubeck place." He said ignoring Tadakatsu's threats.
He clicked his tongue one more time, "Are you even listening? I'm not here to play buddy buddy with you. I've heard part of the city was declared a World Heritage Site. That's all I know, so leave me alone." In the end He was Yamato's buddy.
Time flew by quickly. By the time their classes ended the sun was almost about to set. Spreading a light orange hue across the skies of Kawakami City. After the classes ended each and everyone of the students went out their own way except four students who remained.
The gang streched their stiff bodies as they slowly walked across the school grounds.
"It's Time for club." Moro said while reading jump.
"Diligence is key." Yamato said as he fiddled with his phone replying to all the incoming mails he recieved during classes.
"Nice, now let's head home!" Gakuto said while leering at the school girls they passed by.
They never missed a day in the Go-Home Club.
"I'll be going to the archery range today." Miyako said as she split up with them on the way home.
"Don't forget to greet the people there! Atleast say hello to everyone for me!" Gakuto said as Miyako's figure slowly grew smaller in the distance.
Moro then looked at Yamato, "What about you Yamato? You need time to do your socializing?" Yamato shook his head towards his question. "Nope none for now. I've got it all settled during lunchbreak."
At an early age Yamato was taught by his father, that the way to get ahead in life was to make aquaintances. So he did. He now has a wide array of contacts inside the school. Even outside extending to the next prefecture.
As they were walking home Gakuto sighed, "But... you know... There's nothing romantic about goin' home with a bunch of guys." Moro shook his head towards Gakuto, "You're always thinking about girls Gakuto."
"Maaaannnn I really want a girl. Don't you agree yamato?" He said as he looked up towards the orange sky. Yamato shrugged his shoulders, "I suppose. I mean as a guy. Sure I do." However his answer wasn't as enthusiastic as Gakuto's.
"Dude what abo- -" As they were walking across the Tama River bridge the ground shook violently prompting the three to grab onto the railings. The sudden disturbance disrupted their conversation. The three looked at one another after the shaking stopped, "You boys alright?"
They all nodded and furrowed their brows, "That one was really strong." Yamato said as he pulled out his phone and messaged the members of the Kazama family about their wellbeing. Also while he was at it he messaged his aquaintances as well to gather more intel.
"It seems we were quite close to the epicentre. Some of the people say it originated in the shopping district. I'm not for sure but I really hope everyone is alright." He said as he waited for their replies.
"What exactly was that? That didn't feel like an earthquake." Gakuto said. "It felt like every single thing here shook." Moro chimed. Yamato furrowed his brows. "Well it seems no one was hurt. But the machines on the shopping district shorted out." Yamato said.
Gakuto stretched his body, "Well no point in worrying about it now. I'mma head to they gym. Later boys." Moro Laughed wryly at him, "I'm surprised you still have the energy to go, after all that. Well whatever... I'm goin to game, see you guys tommorow."
Yamato shrugged his shoulders as he replied to the mass mail that came to his way from all his aquaintances. He did this until he reached his room spotting Cookie who was cleaning it. Cookie turned to him, "Is everyone alright yamato? What about Miyako?" Yamato patted Cookie. "Everythings fine, I messaged everyone and they said they were all fine. I'm going to go finish this up and eat some grub after." He said while waving his phone.
He entered his room and got changed into something more comfortable. As he sat down on his tatami floor whilst replying to his aquaintances he noticed a single particular mail that stood out from the rest.
"The hell is this? From... A.R.? Do I know someone like this?" He racked his brain but came out empty. "This is probably just spam." He said but his curiousity got the better of him. "I mean... It's already here might as well check it. This could be a good story if its funny." He said as he pressed read.
Yamato couldn't help but giggle at the contents of the mail. "How childish."
[Congratulations! You have been chosen to be the New Arbiter of The Akashic Records]
[Your primary objective is to stop those who seek to disrupt the natural order. Those who seek to ruin balance to further thair own goals. As a normal human being how do you suppose to stop those who have transcended the boundary?]
Yamato laughed at the absurdity of the mail's contents.
[Quite easy Naoe Yamato, With the help of the shop function you will be able to gain a plethora of powers that have been recorded allthrough out the Akashic Records.]
He immediately frowned the moment he saw his name, "Damn, they breached my personal information already? Gotta warn the others about this."
[How will you be able to buy things from the shop you ask? Quite easy! By training diligently and doing the tasks given to you would help you accumulate enough points to get you even stronger in no time!]
[But I'm all alone in this fight. Or so you say...]
"I never asked that though..." Yamato retorted even though his senses were blaring warning signs.
[Fear not! We will never forsake you to undertake this task alone! Infact we are as of now gathering members to help you through this endeavor. With the group chat function that will unlock in a day! Be not afraid young man! For you have reliable comrades behind you! Keep on pushing forwards!]
"What...? A group chat? The fuck is this thing talking about." As he was about to delete the mail he recieved another one. Dispite his aversion he couldn't help himself and still clicked on the mail.
[Now... Now... Don't be hasty young man. I almost forgot to give you a taste of the benefits of being in this group.]
[Trial package.]
Yamato stared at the trial package link on his phone. "If something bad happens I'll just use my back-up phone." He said as he clicked the link. His phone was enveloped in a bright light changing his flip-phone into something more convinient, a modern smartphone.
His eyes opened wide as he stared at the screen. There was a shaking gift box that was quite animated as it shook urging him to press on it. As soon as he clicked on it the entire room shone with light.
Infront of his eyes was a holographic ui seen on sci-fi movies.
"Oi...Oi... This is some crazy shit. What the fuck is happening!?" He said as he rubbed his eyelids. Yet even after all that he could still see it.
Infront of his eyes were the items he recieved.
[Arachnid - Interlinked chains forges from the flames of gehenna. It is composed of Mana infused Adamantuim. Several hooks and sharp blades are attached on each end of the chains to serve as both a defensive and offensive item.]
[Temporary Imagine Breaker(Sealed) - The ability to negate anything supernatural such as esper powers, magic powers, and even God's Miracles. Resides on your right hand. Use it wisely! Remaining uses 3/3]
[Temporary Mystic Eyes of Death Perception - These can be called a circuit that opens up in the brain and eyes to allow the user to "perceive death," the conceptual "Death of an Existence," as visual signals in the form of Lines of Death (死の線, Shi no Sen) and Points of Death (死の点, Shi no Ten). Each usage has a duration of 30 seconds. Remaining uses 10/10]
He covered his face with lis left palm and sighed, "I don't even know anymore... This is one elaborate dream." He said as he leaned back and sighed. He used his right hand as a support. However the moment his right hand made contact with the tatami floor the entire world shook once more. This time however wasn't as strong as the last one.
Yamato immediately raised is right hand and muttered, "What the fuck... just... happeeeeenneeedd!?"
Unkown to our protagonist his actions just now may have saved the entire city of Kawakami from being razed to the ground. Setting off a chain reaction of events that would change his life...
FOREVER.
