School
Zakuya stands there, while he watches the body on the ground unconscious. Then Zakuya notice that the guy was standing up, with its eyes closed.
“(What is going on here? How is he able to stand up.)” Zakuya said on himself.
After that the guy run towards him again, and has a plan to attack Zakuya. In respond Zakuya dodge again, after he dodge, he notice something in the guy’s nape.
“(What is that?)” Zakuya asks while in midair.
After Zakuya land, move close to the guy, and the grab thing he notice, and suddenly pull it. After he pulled the thing, he notices that it was moving, and was trying to escape Zakuya’s hand.
“A parasite? Well either way.”
Zakuya said as he throws the parasite in the air, and then he switches the wooden sword he was holding into the sword that he receives, and he cut the parasite in half.
After that Zakuya take his sword back in his inventory, then he watches him from a far and many minutes later the guy woke up, and the guy doesn’t know what happened to him... After that Zakuya went to the field, and try the skill he acquired.
“I’m finally here.”
Zakuya said as he gets on the field, a bit away from the houses because he knows that the people were already sleeping. When Zakuya was a bit away, he takes a deep breath mimicking the feeling that he feels before he punches the air. After focusing for a moment Zakuya immediately clenches his fist, and he point his right hand, where he was aiming, and then he feels his muscle getting bigger, and then—
“Okay… HAAAAAAH!” Zakuya scream, as he punches the air, where he was aiming, and when he did, his punch release a strong shockwave, that were really much strong than the one he did inside of the gadget. Zakuya hear a burst of wind after he throw a punch.
“Whoa… That was amazing…”
Zakuya said as he looks at his fist. Then he noticed that the sleeve of his jacket was torn.
“What the— I didn’t know that this will happened.” Zakuya talk in shocked tone.
Now that Zakuya finished testing his skill, he went back to his house, and he takes some rest because tomorrow, he has some school to attend.
*Next day*
Zakuya woke up, and he was tried. Zakuya force himself, and he prepared to go to the school. While he was preparing, he remember Amber, the girl, the famous idol, who reject Zakuya so much that Zakuya didn’t went to the school for 3 weeks. Zakuya remember the moment he was rejected by Amber, every word that Amber told him as she rejects him.
Zakuya shake his head, and then he gets his phone out of his phone, and he change his wallpaper on his phone to the default wallpaper, and he put the red handkerchief around his right wrist.
After that he continue to prepare, and after he finished preparing, his phone vibrates, and when he looks at his phone, he sees that his friend Kazuya has send him a lot of message. Then Zakuya put his bag, and phone in his inventory. Zakuya sigh, and then he went to his school.
When he was near to the school, an arm suddenly places in his shoulder.
“Hey, Zakuya why aren’t you answering my message?” A young man talks as he places his arm on Zakuya’s shoulder.
When Zakuya look who placed their arm in his shoulder. He sees a young man with green eyes, and orange hair. It was his friend Kazuya Raku.
“Kazuya.”
Kazuya begin to asked Zakuya for a reason why he didn’t answer his message. Zakuya said in his mind—“(I can’t tell him, where I was in this pass 2 weeks.)”
So Zakuya just told him that his Wi-Fi connection was cut, so he wasn’t able to go online.
“Is that so? Then why didn’t you visit me? You could help me with my magic training.”
What Kazuya said gets Zakuya’s attention, Zakuya look at Kazuya, while they were walking, then Zakuya stopped and asks—“Could you stop talking about that magic training thing you’re saying.”
Zakuya said those words as he said in his mind. “(I have magic now. So there’s no way you has too.)”
“Huh? Zakuya did the loss of you r internet affect you so much, that you forget that I has magic, and why would I stop? When I need to train my magic.” Kazuya said while looking at Zakuya, but Zakuya talk again, while his eyes is close.
“Stop Kazuya, you have no magic, there’s no way you have— “
While Zakuya was talking he sees Kazuya’s palm has a white wind rotating on it.
“Huh?” The word that come out of Zakuya’s voice. He couldn’t believe what he sees, and he couldn’t talk.
“So Zakuya, help me with training my magic, okay?” Kazuya said as he smiles, and then he closes his right hand making the wind disappear.
Zakuya just nods, and continue walking, because he was embarrassed of what what happened.
“(What is happening?! Why he has magic? Does that mean everyone has magic too?... I am lucky? That I was able to get in that world to train?)” Zakuya said in his mind, and he was wondering what happened. Why Kazuya has magic, and why he feels something was different, from what he knows.
After that they arrived at the campus, Zakuya sees that the campus changes too. The campus that Zakuya knew was small, and has no field. Now the campus was a bit bigger, and it has field now. Zakuya sees that there are people on the field. As they enter the campus, Zakuya immediately heard the words—“The top 2 is here.” “He’s here, the number 2.”
Zakuya immediately looked at Kazuya and asked—“Top 2?”
“Yeah, since you always help me in my training, I achieved that spot.”
“Huh? Top 2 meaning, you’re the second strongest here?”
“Yeah, since the loss of your internet hurt your brain to much. Yes. I was the second strongest student here.” Kazuya said while smiling.
“…”
After that both of them enter the building, and Zakuya always hear the words he hears earlier. When they get in their room, one of their classmates, talk—“Ohhh, here’s the top 2.”
“Good morning.” Kazuya said, then he went to his chair.
Zakuya sit on his chair, which was beside Kazuya. Then Zakuya asked Kazuya about the ranking in the school, because he couldn’t remember any of it.
“Oh yeah, about that.” After talking Kazuya did a weak cough, and he continue. “—There are top 5 here in our school.”
“But what is the meaning of the top?”
“Oh, it was like the top 1 was the strongest magic user in the campus.”
“Strongest, I wonder, how strong you are…” Zakuya said as he looks at his table.
“Well, it was fun to see you shocked over this. Anyway Katsu Maehara was the top 1. Top 2 was me. Top 3 was Amber Ganyu.”
“Ganyu? The campus Idol?”
“Huh? You remember her? But not when I have magic?”
Zakuya just look at Kazuya, and then sighed.
Then Kazuya continue talking
“Top 4 was Mami Yuru, and top 5 was Futaba Izumi.”
“Okay, now that you told about that can you—“
While Zakuya was talking he heard.
“The top 3 is here.”
Then a young girl with amber eyes and long hair with amber color enter the room. All of them look at the young girl, Zakuya look at the young girl. As Zakuya sees the girl, remember the time that he was rejected. Because the girl that enter the room, was the girl who reject him. Amber Ganyu.
While Zakuya was looking at Amber. Amber notice that Zakuya looks at her, so she smiles and wave. When that happen Zakuya look at Kazuya.
“(Heh… They probably into each other, since they were on top 5.)” Zakuya said in his mind, with somewhat calm tone.
After saying that in his mind, Zakuya took out his phone, and when his phone pops out on his phone, Kazuya notice it.
“Huh? Are you holding your phone earlier?” Kazuya asks in confused
When Zakuya heard what Kazuya said, he panics.
“Y-yeah, that’s right, I was holding it.”
“Okay, I notice this earlier, but where is your bag?”
Zakuya panic more, and said—“I-I f-forgot m-my b-bag.”
When Kazuya heard what Zakuya said, he laugh a bit, and said—“I didn’t know that the loss of internet hit you this much. Well, we can share things.”
After that the class starts, and Zakuya heard a lot of new things.
“There’s an upcoming SOS, so you guys can do whatever you want train. Anything, as long as you spend time.” Their teacher said.
After hearing what their teacher said Zakuya look at Kazuya, and he asks—
“!!! SOS?”
“You forget that too?” Kazuya sigh, and then he continue to talk—“SOS means School of School a lot of schools will enter this event, and give all of their best or ace students, like me, Ganyu, and the 3 others too.”
“Anyway, for those who will join the SOS go to the faculty office, so I can write your name in the lineup, and as always Kazuya, and Amber both of you are always on the line up.”
Kazuya look at their teacher, close his eyes, and then smile.
“That’s it for today. Amber, and Kazuya train, and please do your best. When you guys win this or get in the top 5 we’ll receive a huge price that will change this School.”
Kazuya, and Amber nods, and their teacher get out of the room. Then kazuya stand up, and say—“Now, Zakuya help me, training my magic.”
“Ah… yeah.” Zakuya stand up as he responds to Kazuya.
“Hey, Raku don’t forget the training of the top students, Okay?”
Amber said, Kazuya nods, and then he and Zakuya went outside.
Zakuya, and Kazuya went to the right side of the campus, near some trees.
“Shall we start Zakuya?”
Zakuya look at Kazuya, as a wind blade appeared in his right hand.
Zakuya immediately know what Kazuya meant, and he accidentally took his sword out of his inventory. Kazuya was shocked, but he let it slide, and smile.
“I’m not going to lose.” Zakuya said, while smiling, and then he gets on his fighting pose.
While smiling Kazuya back off, and then he points his wind blade at Zakuya, and then he said— “Wind magic: Wind Arrow.”
After Kazuya say those words, a 6 white circle appear beside Kazuya, and then 6 white wind arrow come out, 3 arrow in right, and 3 in his left. Then Kazuya fired it at Zakuya. After seeing what Kazuya did, Zakuya immediately change his position, and he position his sword behind him, he smile, and then.

“Huh?” Kazuya reaction, as he see Zakuya unleash spell.
“Flame Magic: Blazing Defense!” Zakuya swing his sword from bottom, upwards, the spell blocks all of the arrows that Kazuya fired at him. Zakuya pulled back his sword, and get back on his fighting stance.

“(What? He stopped me with one arm?!)” Kazuya said in his mind, then he sees that Zakuya’s left arm was like hanging, and he see Zakuya smiling.
It looks like Zakuya doesn’t need to use his left arm.
After getting pushed back Kazuya smiled, and so he continues to attack. When Kazuya gets close he swings his wind blade at Zakuya, and Zakuya manage to deflect all of Kazuya’s attack, and Zakuya back off, and say— “Kazuya, It’s my turn.”
Kazuya smile, and say— “Come!”
Zakuya gets excited as he heard of what Kazuya said, Kazuya gets in his fighting pose, and the Zakuya kick his feet to the ground, and he attack Kazuya.
“Flame magic: Heat Slashes!”
Zakuya swings his sword upwards, and downwards. Kazuya deflect all of Zakuya’s attack, Zakuya repeat the attack over, and over. Each time Zakuya swings his sword, the sword releases flames. While Zakuya, and Kazuya were having a match, some of students see them, while they were on the hanging out on the window.
“Oh, it’s the top 2, and… Who’s that?” The young guy with black hair asks.
“I don’t know, maybe one of the top 5?” The young guy with brown hair responds.
“No, that can’t be because there’s no one in the top 5 was using flame magic, and one thing the guy was fighting toe to toe with the top 2.”
While watching the two students see that Zakuya, and Kazuya clash their weapon. Zakuya, and Kazuya smile at each other while holding their weapon.
“Zakuya, I didn’t know you were hiding this kind of strength.”
Zakuya back off, and immediately gets on his fighting pose, and then—
“Wait… That guy was Zakuya?”
“Heh?” The word that come out of brown-haired young man, then the young man looks at Zakuya, and Kazuya. They couldn’t see who were Kazuya was fighting, because Zakuya was not facing them, Kazuya is.
“Really?! The guy that was fighting toe to toe with Kazuya was Zakuya?!” The brown-haired young man looks at the black-haired young man.
“Yeah, Kazuya said Zakuya’s name.”
“H-how is that possible? He was just helping Kazuya with his magic, and now this? What happened?”
“Don’t ask me, how would I know.”
As the two students were talking to each other, Zakuya, and Kazuya were back at fighting toe to toe.
“There they go again.” The brown haired said.
As Zakuya, and Kazuya fight toe to toe, few by few students starts to see them fight. After fighting toe to toe for a while kazuya deflects Zakuya’s attack, he back off. While smiling Kazuya told Zakuya that he will going to attack him with all he got.
