First World, High School Always Sucks

"Wake up host!"

"Ngh... Remember to call me Phoenix, Cupid. I feel so sleepy. I want to go back to sleep."

"But Host, I mean Phoenix! You have a job to do! Starting with your first day at high school!"

"High school? I hate school. They teach things that are completely useless and should be teaching us skills and giving us experience instead of filling out pointless paperwork."

"I know hos- I mean Phoenix, but that's where the mission starts. By the way, is there an easier way of calling you? Phoenix is a bit of a mouthful."

"You're just lazy. Just call me Nix then. So what's the mission?"

'You're the lazy one!' (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ ) "The mission this time is based in the modern-day world earth. Your mission is to save a cannon fodder character from being bullied so he won't commit suicide. How you go about it is up to you."

Tilting his head to the side he asks, "So why is saving someone like that important?"

"Because he's a genius that discovered a cure for Alzheimer's. This discovery led to a chain reaction in the future that saved the world."

"Oh. I wonder if I let him study me will he be able to cure me?"

"Yours is more of a mental problem. Not a physical one. Possibly even a spiritual one."

"Couldn't hurt to try." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "Sooo, what's my background?"

"You're an orphan. Due to the orphanage closing from lack of funds you moved to a new one and transferred to the new school. Which today is your first day there. So get up and get to work or school, whichever you call it."

（´○｀）～ゝ Yawning, Nix lays back in bed. "Give me another half an hour."

"Fudge! Get your butt out of bed! You need to hurry and do your missions!" (‡▼益▼)

"No OOC."

( ≧Д≦) 'Fudge nuggets. He discovered it too early. Hope he doesn't notice the mute function. Meh, heh, heh, heh.' ( ◣∀��)ψ Cupid appears above Nix's head and pulls an air horn out of thin air. 'Wakey, wakey, host. Time to go to school.' (ฅΦωΦ)ฅ

Just as he was about the blow the horn Nix jumps up and snatches the horn and turns it on Cupid right where its ears should be and presses the horn.

HONK!

（⓪□⓪;）"MOTHER TRUCKER! I thought you went back to sleep you son of a demented hell hound!" ( ʘ言ʘ╬ )

Nix giggles, "You should have seen yourself it was hilarious! Besides you were going to do it to me so it's only right that you get payback." ٩( ᗒᗨᗕ )۶

"OK, you've had your fun and now you're going to be late for school!" 'Go, make points! Get this over with. I want to read this world's latest gossip.' <(｀^´)>

"Okay~" Nix gets out of bed and gets ready for school. "Oh! Cupid, you haven't told me how to get to school. Nor the fact that you've left out a lot of details on that brief summary you gave me about my backgrounds, such as age and the name of the orphanage. Do I have to know anyone?"

"Ah yes! You can read you're 17 years old. Born XX/XX/XXXX you live at "The Care of All" orphanage which is just a few streets from the school so you can walk there by following the other orphans. You can get your class schedule at the admission counter in the front office. I'll notify you of your target when you meet him. No, you don't know anyone since you've arrived yesterday so you don't need to worry about trying to pretend to know someone. Now if you're done asking questions I'm going to check the lastest goss- news. Later!" ヾ (☆▽☆)

'...He's gone to read gossip. This is why his name fits him perfectly. He likes to read about other people's love lives and his name rhymes with stupid. Stupid Cupid.'

Cupid shivers and looks at his smiling host. 'Is he thinking crap about me?' (╬ ಠ益ಠ╬)

Nix finishes getting ready for school and goes out of his room and heads downstairs. 'At least I get my own room,' he thinks. When he gets to the dining room everyone has finished their breakfast and is heading out the door. Not waiting for him nor leaving any food for him. 'Meh, won't die from missing one breakfast.'

Nix follows the others and finally arrives at school and heads towards the office and receives his schedule. 'Let's see~, Advanced Math for the first period. Good thing it's not history. I suck at it.' He makes his way towards the first class as the bell rings. 'Oops. I'm actually late. Oh well, since it's my first day of school I'm sure I can be excused.'

When he finally makes it to class and walks in everyone stares at him.

"Hello, are you a new student," the teacher asks him.

"Yes, hello. My name is Phoenix, I should be in Advanced Math for Mister Konners for the first period."

"Hold on let me check." He looks at his computer for a moment and then looks back up at Nix. "You're in the right place. Nice to meet you Phoenix. Please take a seat and we'll start the lesson."

"Thank you." Nix nods and takes his seat in front and gets his notebook out ready for lessons. Throughout the lessons though was just words and not numbers. 'Math is a golden finger for transmigrators. It's the same in every word. I just need to pay attention to what they're teaching so~ I only need to keep track of what quizzes and tests they are going to give us and wait for that. Compared to the interstellar worlds I've been too this world's math is easy as 1 + 1.'

Then a paper ball lands on his desk. 'Huh?' Looking around Nix doesn't know who could have thrown it. He had just arrived at school, knows no one, and did everything normally. So who could have thrown it and why?

'Please don't be what I think it is.' He opens it and reads the contents.

'...'

'This is why high school sucks.'
