Sumire-Hime's Monologue

Hey guys, have you ever want to be like a fictional character you read about in a novel? Cool just like Cid from Eminence in Shadow and Ayanokoji from Classroom Of The Elite? Or being an overpowered slime?

I was one of those. I was not from Japan, and cheap 4G internet had just arrived when I was around my 8th grade. Just then had I discovered the wonderful world of Light Novels, manga and animes.

At that time, I was a loner, but not by choice. I was the top student in my grade, but the girl who got second everytime hated me, because her crush asked me out. And she hated me even more when I turned him down, saying something like I was looking down at her crush.

I couldn't read the mind of people well. And girls were too much complex for me. The boys had it great. If they had a problem, they would say it on face, and in the worst case, have a brawl. I cheered when the occassional entertainments came. And the next day, they would be laughing and making fun of each other, in a friendly way.

How I wish I could just make friends with the boys. But I was too awkward.

The girl who always came second, was quite a popular one. It wasn't hard for her to isolate me. But I was also an impulsive one. So I beat her up, at least tried.

As I was going to throw a punch, I bumped on a bench and fell down by getting hit on the head, and a broken arm due to that cursed bench.

So, I was hospitalized and then went to the school with a broken leg with supporters. My situation changed and the Second girl was kind and helped me a lot, probably guilty because of her childish behaviour.

Slowly, my leg healed and it was the time of final exams. Of course I got first again. And the second girl was pissed and started verbally bulling me. As any smart person, I threw a punch again. But I lost. It wasn't even a fight. Afterall, I never was a physically capable person.

After that shameful defeat, I changed my class and focused on doing all kinds of exercises I could find on internet. I became a full fledged loner and devoted to strengthen myself. I purposefully came in second and let the Second girl think that she had won.

Then I came across the world of Anime. Then manga and finally, light novels. As I was about to finish my 9th standard, I have fully awakened a superior state called the 8th grader syndrome. I wanted to be just like Cid. I wanted to be just like Ayanokoji. I wanted to awaken some magic power. I started having a strange attraction to Trucks.

Slowly, I started purposefully degrading my academics, acting like a mob in sports, a girl that nobody noticed.

But outside of everyone's eyes, I worked really hard. The school didn't have any martial arts instructors, there was nobody like that in the locality. So I started mingling with the boys who played cricket. I had to find someone to beat up, it was no use to be awkward of the opposite sex.

And cricket was the battleground of street fights. Almost every week there was a fight. And if there wasn't, I just had to claim that I was not out.

First, I dominated kindergarten kids, than the ones who were around 3-4 class. It was fine because there was only me from my school in the locality. There was no risk of ruining my forgotten reputation. And if their moms came to argue with me, I just had to lie through my teeth that they started it. And their idiot moms believed a stranger rather than their own kids. And their stereotype that girls are gentle harmless animals who are meant to be protected also helped.

Slowly, I rised through ranks and no one under 8th grade could do anything to me. I was in 11th that time. Boys didn't lift a finger against a girl from around 9th standard. So I could not get anymore fighting experience.

Then I finally arrived in 12th Standard. It was time for sweet revenge. I scored the highest in the school history in my 11th's final exams.

I was done being Cid. Now it was time to be a show-off Ayanokoji. I was placed in the same class as the Second-place bitch again due to my high marks. She tried to verbally bully me again, but I held in my desire to smash my cricket bat to her face, and cried pitifully, acting all traumatic, acting like I had trouble breathing and the teacher who just came along with all the class tried to calm me down.

Then I over-exaggerated her verbal bullying, her pushing me that I hit my head and my leg broke that day. We were alone in class that day and she had no proof to prove herself innocent.

And my years of average performance, who was a top scorrer all her life also helped my case.

Then, all the popularity she had crumbled in less than half an hour.

She screamed at me that I was lying, and I just had to act scared to make her the bad girl.

After that incident, she was put into the average-scoring class and people looked at her with disgust.

And I became the most popular girl, and teachers gave children my example. How a scaredy-cat girl overcame her trauma and is performing better than anyone else now, whether it was academics or sports. How I was selected for state-level girl's cricket for the first time from the school.

The Second-place Bitch was not second anymore, but somewhere around 13th- 14th.

Soon, the final exams of our school life came. I was still not satisfied from my revenge. So, as the Not-anymore-Second-place Bitch was going home after the exam, I followed her and hit her with my bat on the head from behind.

As she was going dizzy, I was wearing a kids mask so that she won't recognise me. Then I made her swallow gunpowder from the firecrackers and left her there.

Then she missed the exams and had to remain for half an year in the hospital. And she had to repeat an year too, where everyone made fun of her for being a repeated.

When I was halfway in the final year of my college, I heard that she died by suicide. Surprisingly, I didn't feel anything about it. Well, she picked a fight with me for no reason first. She deserved it.

And maybe I deserved dying too for pushing a girl to her death, that's why I met Truck-sama.

But no, that was not it. Truck-sama gave me a chance to reach the potential of the likes of Ayanokoji and before-isekai Cid.

I was reborn as the sole princess of Japan where people had colourful eye and hair colours. I was reborn with the biggest resources any person could have. In my previous life, I was not even 1% of those two cool ordinary humans. But now, maybe I will finally be able to reach such potential, and become an overpowered protagonist. It would have been cool if could have some magical powers as well, but there wasn't.

(16 years later)

It has been 16 years since I have been reborn in this world  as Sumire-Hime, the sole princess of Japan. Though I have a big brother, but everyone knows that I am far more capable than him. I am going to be the next Empress without doubt. And my brother also supports me and doesn't want to become the heir, because he is in love with a foreigner girl who is the daughter of the embassy of America. So he can't marry her as long as he is the heir to the throne.

Anyway, I have came to realisation that this is the world of 'Classroom Of The Elite' years ago. And father doesn't seems to know about White Room.

That means, if Ayanokoji asks for my help and tells me about the White Room, Ayanopapa will be executed for sure.

Ah! I so much want him to be at my feet! Be a total puppy for me like the Cold Dukes in manhwas!

Hehe! I am coming for you Ayanokoji. I will make you mine! The Demon Queen is coming for her King!
