You are Keichi Hakumasa. Fifteen-year-old High School student of Hakoniwa Academy, Kendo Club Captain, and Part-Time General Affairs Manager of the Student Council. Only son to World-Class Archeologist & Historian Daichi Hakumasa and Famous retired Doctor & Martial Arts Grandmaster Hitomi Hakumasa, you are the future heir to the School of the Undefeated East. As a byproduct, you are a true to heart otaku for martial arts and anything relating to Action/Adventure Genres. Thus, leading to a long life as a reluctant delinquent.

As the semi-retired Banchō Devil of the West, you have an unfortunate knack for getting into trouble as danger seems to always follow you. Perhaps the most dangerous adversity of all is being Medaka Kurokami’s arranged fiance. Because of your father’s close relationship with Medaka’s father as sworn brothers, you spent your entire life with Medaka since the age of two. Making your normal life even more non-existent, you are also the childhood friend to Hansode Shiranui.

Recently after a series of unfortunate events, you manage to uncover more of your lost memory down your path towards finding the truth. In order to confront the source of your trauma, Misogi Kumagawa, and uncover Anshin’in’s true identity, you masquerade into Suisou Academy as Keikō Onizuka, a transfer student from Kyūkō Middle School. Equipped with 『The Beginning』 and your childhood best friend Hansode Shiranui, you begin your journey anew infiltrating the school and slowly uncovering its dark secrets.

Faced with countless Not-Equals, can you achieve your goal and return to Hakoniwa Academy without losing something in the process?

>>4017229

Eyes locked in a narrow stare, you struggle to make a sincere smile as you chuckle at Anshin’in’s witty banter. True to her word you feel positively drained both physically and mentally. In exchange for this level of exhaustion, all of your physical and mental attributes were now fully restored and back in working order. Leaving you no longer transformed in Diabolus mode or that mysterious Pandemonium Diablo Mode that triggered from the extreme amounts of stress and/or emotional stimulus. The only sensation that lies inside was that ominous sensation. Although thanks to the bonds between your friends you were able to return yourself to normal. However, even now you feel that other presence inside of you. A presence completely different from what you were used to, and yet...it was oddly familiar. If not a remnant of the old version of yourself, specifically the version from your final year in middle school that was consumed with the pursuit of absolute strength. But that wasn’t possible...was it?

“Sorry about this Anshin’in. I really did screw the pooch and messed things up. That’s what my overconfidence gets me after thinking I finally got a hold of this power based on the steady process I’ve been making.” You remark, wincing a bit from laughter as your body was still aching all over.

“That’s one way of looking at it. You were lucky I was here to assume direct control and possess your body long enough with one of your skills long enough for you to snap yourself out of it. But experiencing it first hand, Pandemonium Diablo Mode truly is the opposite of Diabolus Mode in every sense of the world, the pinnacle of absolute strength that matches if not arguably surpasses even Medaka’s War God Mode. For when the moment people come to know love and empathy, they run the risk of carrying hate and apathy, and that hatred can give forth to explosive strength...at the cost of walking down the path of self-destruction. “ Anshin’in remarks, still residing inside of you. Considering what mental power she must have put into stopping your berserker rampage, it wasn’t all that surprising she would retreat into her original body still trapped in the spacial void locked in your soul.

Taking a moment to close your eyes, you start to feel your chi through the chakra system. Even if you didn’t want to, you committed the experience of that new form to memory as you document the full extent of Pandemonium Diablo Mode’s full characteristic. A feat that ultimately leaves you pretty distressed over. “..It’s still there, isn’t it? That...pernicious thing that nearly took complete control over me.”
>>
>>4017250

Anshin’in remains silent for a couple of minutes before finally breaking the science with her sage wisdom. “Like Inuyasha and his demon blood, your actions have awakened that primeval rage that lies buried within the very depths of your subconscious. It’s something that everyone carries much like the potential for good or evil. But in your case, it’s your bellicose nature and strong desire to be triumphant that you keep dormant pushed to its logical extremes. And even after coming back to your senses, that primeval part of yourself will be even harder control. After tasting the power of my very soul and experiencing the outside world, it can no longer be left isolated in an eternal slumber. It has tasted both freedom and the thrill of violence, thus it won’t ever go back to sleep. You, who have already experience death should know what such an experience can do to drive a being down the path of self-preservation...by any means necessary.”

“...The human instinct governs survival...the will to live. I think I read about describe such a thing through the King and the Horse analogy….” You mutter, still finding time to make a joke while hiding your worries from Anshin’in.

“Correct, the will to live. That will echos violently even as we speak. There have been points in your life where the fight or flight syndrome will come into effect. But this phenomena is far greater in scope than you realize. It takes the honed instinct of absolute dominance and barbarous desires to prove absolute sovereignty as the apex predator. Again, every living creature has this inside and it’s only when faced in a life or death scenario, do one true colors come to the surface. Therefore, to not live through another experience like that of your final battle with Kumagawa in middle school, to not let itself be consumed by the cosmic forces that currently cycle through your body, and...to avoid death itself as you take on challenges and ordeals with such dire risks. It’s why such a fail-safe has come to being, and you ended up awakening it.” As Anshin’in kept explaining you continue to spend your time memorizing how it feels to utilize the ferocious monstrosity that was Pandemonium Diablo Mode. Slowly closing your eyes for better reception, you start to pinpoint why that ominous feeling was still circulating deep inside of your body. Much like Anshin’in pointed out, her chi has left a tremendous bounty of vitality into your own, leaving you overflowing with life energy as it circulates in two different paths. One was trying to take over the other as it leaves you with a bad case of heartburn.
>>
>>4017269

“I won’t lie and say that this form called Pandemonium Diablo Mode doesn’t carry any benefits or can’t be considered your strongest transformation. However, it is a form farthest from the path of a shonen protagonist. If not a human being entirely. Filled with apathy and murderous intent, you become virtually an unstoppable juggernaut that truly surpasses understanding. But as you grow stronger, you become more ferocious as bit by bit of yourself is suppressed if not overridden altogether. Forget becoming Anshin’in, at the rate it’ll go, it will be more likely you’ll become an echo of your former self. A fallen hero.” The way that Anshin’in trails off in mid-statement already alerted you just how serious the situation is. And to think all of this happened out of your innate curiosity and reckless abandonment to fully surrogate a power that wasn’t yours to begin with. That same power that lasted for quadrillions of years.

Letting out a long sigh, you open your eyes and turn to your side to stare blankly at the wall. Briefly recalling the memories you have of your father, an old phrase starts to ring deep in your mind, giving you renowned clarity.“When you put it like that, you make it sound like its the furthest path from being your so-called shonen protagonist’s main character. But thinking how bad that felt, I can’t help but reflect on my father’s words. To not let hatred and fear consume you, otherwise, how can we understand one another and come closer. Hatred will only bring more violence and sow the seeds of wraith.”

“Well said. In any case, as I thought the pure essence of my cosmic energy is too strong for you. Resulting in this transformation. Even if you were to be cut off by the source, your body took up enough of my chi to store it away and reawaken it when needed. In essence, it’ll attack the soul and will result in you being able to incapable of recognizing anyone, including yourself. You know no pain, you won’t know fear, or any emotion or words. Just the violent impulses and intrusive thoughts controlling you to wreak havoc and do battle until you die.”

“To move on from such dark talk….I got a question. Just who was that mysterious girl in my mind? I never met her before but there was something about her that feels...warmth and comforting. Like a familiar soul.” You sincerely ask, keeping the question about those other people covered in silhouettes, as well as Kumagawa, being there during your mental concert to yourself. Those were things that you can work off by yourself once given the time to ponder things.
>>
>>4017298

“That girl is Mogana Kikaijima, someone who you’ll meet in the future. Once again I needed to use 『Nextage』in order to draw forth the right bonds to help you snap yourself out of this ordeal while I used 『Model Student』to restrain you. But at the end of the day, it was your connections to others that gave you the means to manifest the strength needed to unify the sea of chaos and return it to harmony. But let’s not dread over what has happened. Instead, focus on getting some rest. You got to keep up your act if you want to uncover the truth.” Anshin’in lectures, metaphorically smacking you on your broad forehead, but it certainly does feel like she inflicted some damage as you end up rubbing your forehead in response.

As Anshin’in suggested you quickly drifted off into deep slumber. Considering how dead tired you currently was, it was taking your willpower to last as long as you did before receiving the go-to for sleep. Going to sleep relatively early gave you essentially nine whole hours to get the full benefits of a good night’s rest. What you ended up dreaming about was a peaceful time at the carnival with all of your friends at the student council plus Hansode, including the mysterious Mogana. For reasons that were unknown to you, it seems almost like a precognition for a future that may or may not come. In any case, it did your spirit well as it nurtures it back to full health, returning you to a vigorous state. As you continue to sleep, your body starts to emit a secret glow, spreading throughout as it starts resonating with your inners throughout the night.

Upon the clock reaching just about six in the morning, you suddenly pop out of bed with newfound spring in your step. In fact, you weren’t sure if you were still imagining things or not but you feel notoriously lighter than before. Whether it was through that harrowing life experience in your mind or some sense of closure upon freeing Anshin’in, the reason as you thought about it didn’t really matter as you energetically hop around the room like a speeding cat playing with its rubber mouse. Unlike previously where transforming into this alternate form gave the stiffed sensation of being sluggish and hard to move around, you now feel yourself carrying the same fluidity that your original form carried. As if you finally fully synchronized with this new body as controlling its movements and motions became as effortless as breathing.
>>
>>4017319


Eventually, after a long daily training exercise, morning rituals and balanced breakfast, you spent a good ten to fifteen minutes changing into school uniform. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you find yourself having gotten comfortable being like this. Of course, whenever you have the time you often switch back to your original form, mostly out of paranoia believing that if you don’t take such breaks from the infiltration you may end up forgetting your old life altogether. In the case of the worst scenario, there was one silver lining. At least you won’t be forced to abide by the mutual agreement of your parents and Medaka’s, thus nullifying the fiance situation. After all, girls can’t love girls.

I say "confront" but he did want to meet us and I think trying to delay it further would just make him more suspicious. Now that we have Mirror Juvenile/My Wonderland, we should be able to meet him without triggering any warning signs in his head. By doing this, we'll see how we deal with his presence and hopefully even get to see the mindfuckery that is All Fiction firsthand.

Alright, it seems like we're going for the manly approach. Good. For the record Mirror Juvenile is a skill which tampers with a person's sense of perception, and My Wonderland is what makes the deceptive illusion, a nonexistent lie or interpretation from one’s perspective into the truth based on the concept of mind games such as the rubber hand trick or the Alice in wonderland syndrome. But only if you continue to believe in the lie.

So with that do you have any desire on what sort of image to give yourself as? A version of yourself you envision or would continue going at as you are now.

Look at yourself rather intently in the mirror, you take this time to reflect upon your game plan. It was literally just yesterday when you ended up breaking down after talking to Saki about Kumagawa. In your defense, your post-traumatic stress disorder was more than justified considering how strong of a dosage of 『Bookmaker』you underwent through. And that’s not even including the fact that you, although briefly, did die from the experience. Even ignoring those setbacks, there was just something about Kumagawa’s current aura that made your skin crawl in horror. It was on a much higher grade than the Kumagawa you fought during middle school. If it was true that Kumagawa was going to different schools and dismantling them from within then its only natural that he became so strong.

Even with your current gains from your character development, you weren’t sure if you can beat him head-on. Especially when you don’t even know what sort of tricks he picked up since thing. Regardless, you start to motivate yourself with a well good pep talk. This went on for a good ten minutes as you raise your morale and bring yourself to a state of courageous resolve. Unlike with the cosmic energy coursing inside, you weren’t going to let yourself get overconfident and make the same mistake. As you hype yourself up you start to look through your skills as a metaphorical list. In your arsenal so far there were only two tools that can best help with rising predicament. Those being 『Mother’s Task』and 『Mirror Juvenile』. On closer inspection, you decided on relying the combo between 『Mirror Juvenile』and『My Wonderland』to counteract your trauma and keep your Yamato Nadeshiko image for school.

『Mirror Juvenile』is a skill that tampers with one perception regardless of its through the senses or one’s interpretation, allowing the skill holder to make whatever you want to appear how you want it, the typical choice, of course, being yourself. Combined with the mind tricks becoming reality that 『My Wonderland』carries, the two skills work in conjunction to produce at-will shapeshifting powers, even on a metaphysical level. So long as you continue to believe in the magic, it would compensate and counteract the weakness that either skill has when used alone. You learn that first hand after fickling with the combo skill, oddly reminding you of a funhouse mirror maze. In between your analysis, you finished your prep talk, now feeling reassured. Eventually after putting things into perspective and ultimately came to the decision of meeting with the student council in Suisou Academy.
>>
>>4020316


Truth be told you wanted to put off meeting with Misogi Kumagawa as long as possible. However, you knew deep down that if you were to delay the confrontation any longer than what was given it’ll only draw suspicion. With no time to waste you left out of the dummy house, you were stationed in and made your way towards Suisou Academy. Meeting Hansode at the rendezvous spot, the two of you briefly discussed on how you were going to converse with the student body president. As expected of your childhood friend, she managed to devise a proper tactic in handling such a person like him based on word of mouth.

It was at this time you also talked to Hansode about Kui and how you managed to hit things off well much to her surprise and eventual teasing. On that note, you kept the fact you been developing skills and the presence of Anshin’in under wraps. The last thing your best friend needed was to worry over your fluctuating state of mind and the dangers you face being a host to Anshin’in’s entire existence. Speaking of which, you weren’t sure if it was Anshin’in or thanks to the combo skill currently active but you didn’t feel the cosmic energy seeping out. Not that you can complain since you didn’t want to draw any unwanted attention. Once you arrived at school you make through the necessary steps upon finding Saki and soon enough you find yourself a one-way ticket to meeting with Misogi.

Unsurprisingly you and Hansode were expected to go in one at a time. This was ultimately for the best since you didn’t want to give Kumagawa the impression that Hansode was a valuable tool to use against you in case things get dice. Not that you believed you would lose your cool and break out of character thanks to 『My Wonderland』 currently in effect. In any case, you went into the council room first, briefly giving Hansode a thumbs up before walking inside. Sitting on a chair currently, was the man that haunted your nightmares for the longest time. An average-looking young man with short black hair and blue eyes. Dressed in the male uniform for Suisou Academy although black instead of green, the only other thing that was out of the ordinary was the shonen jump magazine on the table.

>>4020409

Taking a small sigh, you force yourself to make a smile as you introduce yourself. “H-Hello, my name is Keikō Onizuka, I was told you wished to see me?” You politely ask, keeping notice of the wide spacious room that the office gave. There was a bolt screw strangely located at the center of the office, already signifying you with rational concern.

Misogi pulls himself from the large magazine, revealing a rather cheerful if not unsettling smile on his pale complexion. “「Ah! So you’re the new transfer student I been hearing about. Hello, my name is Misogi Kumagawa, the recent student body president. Since Aki can no longer handle her duties, I am now her replacement. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance Ms. Onizuka.」”

“The pleasure is all mine, Mr. President. Anyway, I’m sorry for the delay. I take it Saki has already told you about my Anemia and fragile condition. When I don’t get my proper nourishment I end up falling apart “ You explain, keeping your smile and hospitality.

“「It’s no problem really. In fact, you ended up doing me a big favor. Because of your little incident, I was able to finish reading the embodiment of friendship, effort, and victory otherwise known as Shonen Jump without being interrupted. It was a special issue with a double colored spread, so I’m quite thankful for your poor condition.」” Misogi points out, pulling out the very same magazine he was reading prior as you glance at the product. Once again this wasn’t all too surprising considering that even back then he used to enjoy reading shonen jump magazines.

“「I was told about your introduction to your classroom that you’re quite the artistic talent with Calligraphy and that you read a lot of fiction. What a coincidence, I too so happened to like reading such stories. Say, mind answering me what’s your favorite works?」”

>How do you proceed?

>Answer truthfully and tell him your favorite works [write-in which]
>Change the subject by asking Kumagawa what happened between him and Aki
>Bring up exactly why Kumagawa ended up in this school, much less student council president
>Be polite but ask him why is he talking in a manner like a shonen jump character?
>Other [write-in]

>>4020416
>>Answer truthfully and tell him your favorite works [write-in which]
>Toriko, Shokugeki no Soma, Yakitate!! Japan
Just for a bit of fun, the anemic girl who needs proper nourishment reads food manga. But I also want to ask afterwards

Well, this is rather unexpected all things considered. Here you are suddenly stumbling into a rather normal conversation with Misogi Kumagawa. The very concept originally was virtually impossible for you, or at least it was with Kenichi Hakumasa. As Keikō Onizuka, it seems far more within reality’s reach as you set your heart at ease over the predicament. Not that you can ignore that unsettling vibe that you were getting off from his aura. What was most bothersome about it was the fact you couldn’t read his emotions. After awakening Pandemonium Diablo Mode your powers of empathy have gone on a whole nother level as even in base form you can sense and read emotions. For better or worst, it gave a much-needed edge in this conversation as you continue with the charade.

Placing your finger on your lip, you look upward with a puzzled look on your face. If you were to based on your taste on Kenichi who likes samurai mangas like Demon Slayer, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, and Gintama first and the more martial arts based ones like Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Fist of the North Star, Kengan Ashura, Jujutsu Kaisen and many others being second would only raise some serious flags. There were mangas like Sailor Moon or Inuyasha to pick from but that would just be predictable. Upon closer meditation, a burst of knowledge suddenly appears, tugging you forward towards a rather inventive idea. Deciding to take full advantage of the image established for Keikō Onizuka, you finally break from your brief silence with a smile.

“Hmm, from the top of my head. I’d have to say that my favorite shonen jump properties are Toriko, Shokugeki no Soma, and Yakitate!! Japan. As someone who has to take extra care of what I eat, I happen to really enjoy ready such manga that puts high emphasis on cooking and foods. “ You reply, showing a rather thoughtful explanation that generally proved that you were a fellow shonen jump fan to Kumagawa. Although it was rather repulsive to have something in common with Kumagawa of all people, but then again you long since committed to accepting every aspect of yourself, good and bad.

Blinking a bit in sudden confusion, Misogi took his time stroking his chin as he stares at you with curiosity. “「Hmm, yeah that makes about a substantial amount of sense. I happen to read those mangas too and out of the three, I happen to like Toriko the most. Although it was rather unfortunate it couldn’t live up to the continuous push that Shueisha gave it. As a natural-born loser, I can relate to such unfair odds. But on that note...」” As Misogi says this, he would slowly set the book down and cross his leg, setting his elbows on the table with both hands grasping each other. He gave a rather focused expression despite his smile.

“「You said Shokugeki no Soma is among your favorites right?...」”
>>
>>4021381

“Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem with my choice?” You ask, keeping your hand together as you start to twiddle your index fingers. On the surface, you were keeping a solid poker face and even on the inside, you were committing to the role of Keikō Onizuka exceptionally well thanks to 『My Wonderland』. There was nothing to be afraid about, nor any reason to raise suspicion by acting any differently from a stereotypical high school girl.

“「I understand. My Ms. Onizuka, although you got a formal, if not sophisticated maiden vibe to yourself. ...I’d never picture you as a closet pervert. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about your secret. I too happen to like the over the top stripping and facial expressions many characters make whenever eating Yukihira and co’s cooking. That and the various references to other mangas and Japanese mythology.」” Misogi smiles, giving off a rather condescending lecture to you upon delivering his opinion on the manga. Metaphorically you felt a multitude of screws slamming themselves against your chest, hitting straight at the heart as you turn rock-solid in embarrassment

“T-That’s not what it is at all!” You retort, keeping your volume rather low despite being quite flustered by being called a pervert by Kumagawa of all people. He was no Maguro but that didn’t change the fact this walking unorthodox high schooler did whatever he wants on a whim, including sexual harassment.

“「Now, now. You have to keep watch of your blood pressure, or else your Anemia will act up and you’ll end up bedridden in the hospital bed again..」” Misogi laughs, waving his hand to brush off your piercing gaze. At least you were doing a good job of not screaming at the top of your longs and showing signs of him getting under your skin.

Letting out a subtle yet annoyed sigh, you fold your arms avert your gaze from the student body president. “Well, in that case, mind answer a question of mine?”

“「I don’t see why not. I’m already learning a lot about you based on your tastes and mannerism alone. So it’s only fair if you start asking some questions too. After all, I want us to have a rather polite and respectable relationship during school.”」Misogi says, extending his arm as his way of approval to your request.

Taking a brief moment to bow you lift your head back up to look at Misogi. “Well...is there any particular reason why you’re talking like this? Not to be rude but it seems rather...unusual and more like the energic works of fiction. Just seem like you’re trying to be...cool.”
>>
>>4021396

From out of nowhere Misogi suddenly starts to crying tears from his eyes. Such a random act of lamentation nearly set you off your game. You start to rethink your answer as you mentally review your statement. There wasn’t anything you said that would draw out such a response from the weeping student president. “Erm, if it’s too much to ask then forget about it. I don’t need to know the answer.” You awkwardly smile, trying to reassure Kumagawa and only giving the bare minimum of coddling to break him out of his crying fit.

Misogi rubs his eye with a handkerchief, smiling rather deeply at a total stranger showing such compassion to him.“「No, no. I’m just rather touched that you’re the first person to ever ask me about my speech pattern. I’m very flattered by it. But let’s see, I don’t know why I adopted such a tone for my default voice. And the closest I can remember first adopting it was during my first year of high school. In any case, I rather like speaking like this. It lets me carry the shonen jump model of friendship, effort, and victory to heart with my everyday activities. 」”

“...Is that so..” You mutter, closing your eyes and sighing a bit. On the surface, it may seem like a bizarre question to ask, but in truth, it was helping deconstruct his psychology and reconfirming your suspicion that Kumagawa has indeed obtained a new minus.

In your middle school days, you never recall Kumagawa speaking like this so his current mindset must have been strongly influenced by the Minus. The only two clues you have was『Trans-Fiction』and 『Science Fiction』, both were minuses that was completely unreadable last time you checked. On the other hand, making contact with that blacken void that served as Anshin’in’s prison did start to open some clues with the former. 『Trans-Fiction』 was the combination of 『Bookmaker』’s remains and one unknown element, thus proving the ultimate sealing technique. As a result, it made perfect sense why as hard as you try you couldn’t remember Anshin’in despite your strong connection. To the world, it’s as if she never existed, no different from a work of fiction.

As you mentally thought about this you were suddenly met with a rude awakening. A loud squeeze suddenly sent a jolt down through your entire body. Jumping back into reality, you would see Kumagawa already behind your back. His left hand groping your breasts while his right hand caressing your abdomen. Eyes left in a lifeless doll-like state, you instinctively kept up a smile while your brain suddenly crashes. 『Model Student』abrumply kicking in to fully control your bodily movements. Here you stood currently getting examined by Kumagawa as he picks apart your secrets through touch alone. While it was more like a physical checkup than straight-up sexual harassment, it was still Kumagawa which might as well be both.
>>
>>4021410

What has you flabbergasted was how he managed to bypass your defenses. You only closed your eyes for a split second. Even if you lost sight of him, surely one of your other senses would’ve picked up on him easily for your anti-perversion methods to kick in. Focus on solving the mystery you recall back to his standard method of fighting. Kumagawa knows the weaknesses and flaws of others and thus knows the best way to take them down regardless of statistics or ability. All except one person to which was his polar opposite in every way. But even with his exceptional assassin like skills, this sudden disappearance and reappearance was more akin to a magic trick or an unexplained phenomenon. As if the distance between you and him….was non-existent.

A deep-seated rage starts to boil abruptly as your blood pressure rises dramatically. The tips of your dark brown hair was turning into the fiery orange shade. Muscles tenses and bones start crackling, clear signs that your outrage was pushing you into involuntary activating Pandemonium Diablo Mode. Now you remember from Anshin’in that this form’s primary trigger was heavy emotional stress, and in all honesty, this was well worth such acceptable parameters as a multitude of intersection of veins start to form in a cross formation. What was holding back the utter design to beat the ever-loving shit out of Kumagawa as he was finishing up his inspection was the combination of 『Model Student』and 『My Wonderland』. Two skills that were saving your cover as you forced yourself to endure till Kumagawa finished up.

After gaining what he was looking for, Kumagawa briefly pulled his hands away and pats your head with a reassuring smile. “「Aha, please don’t jump to the wrong conclusion. It’s just I never met someone with such a condition so I was rather curious about how it affected your build. From what I was able to tell from my inspection, you have….quite the nice body.」”

“...Excuse me” You mutter in a low pitch voice, eyes still empty as there was a clear look of disgust on your face as you feel your rage only getting worse.

“「I’m very serious Ms. Onizuka. From what Saki first told me of yourself, I thought you would be this sickly ghoul that’s one foot close from the grave. Not the stunning beauty you’d find in Shojo Mangas, not that I dislike such heroines. Still, what impressed me is how well you have taken exceptional care of your body in light of your condition. Surely you must have gone through numerous physical therapy methods to obtain such a well-toned body honed to the best of your capabilities. Although….your measurements for instance. They remind me of someone back in middle school. Now, what was her name? Starts with an M…」” Misogi explains, ruffling your hair a bit like a trusted senpai that so happens to like to mess with their underlings. You just grin and bear it as you have bigger problems as you feel yourself in danger at the possible mentioning of Medaka Kurokami.

“「Strange, it’s just not clicking. Well not that it matters, you’re quite bigger than she was anyway. It must be another benefit for a well-balanced diet and physical therapy to achieve stronger bones, toned muscles, a healthy heart, and bountiful energy. If Anemia wasn’t holding you back, I’d be hard to argue if you were even fragile at all.」” Although Misogi gave words of encouragement, you couldn’t help but be all the more furious at his nonchalant attitude.

“「In any case, I’ll humor you by answering one whole question fully without any tricks or deceptive means. So fill free to ask anything to make up for your body telling me about your statistics.」”

Cry. Use that empathy to imagine what Saki must have gone through. Think back to the Viking Funeral of Going Merry. The ending of Kengan Ashura. The wasted potential of Shokugeki no Soma. Make him feel terrible. Now we can't get married!

Hopefully he'll agree to answer more questions as an apology...

Taking a moment to think things through you begin formulating a plan. The first option which was the most expected one was to violently and thoroughly beat up Kumagawa to a bloody pulp. Of course, such an action would ultimately blow your cover and cause the student council president to be all the more suspicious of you. But it wasn’t an idea that you didn’t discard completely as you think of alternatives. Secondly, there was running away in over the top sorrow and embarrassment. While more incline with your current image it’ll also meant letting go of the important chance that this unfortunate endeavor has provided. Finally, there was taking Kumagawa’s offer and asking an honest question from him. Unfortunately, there were just far too many different questions you have that were just as important as discovering his minus to let go.

Subtly biting your thumb to the point of breaking the skin, you turned you back from Kumagawa as you fume over this. In retrospect, you shouldn’t be so upset about this unforgivable treatment. After all, this was just another body, it wasn’t your original form. However, even with that in mind, you couldn’t explain it but you began to start seeing the value of this second body. To you, it might as well be no different than your original form considering the sentimental memories and experiences you gained in such a short time. If that wasn’t the case you wouldn’t be struggling to keep back the violent impulses and intrusive thoughts currently festering inside and acting on such destructive urges. Soon an answer starts to appear as you start to make a rather smug smile on your face.

Thinking to the scenario of Light Yagami vs L Lawliet, you start to see this as a psychological battle with Kumagawa. He’s most likely expecting you to act out and lose your composure. Or showing signs of dead silence. In between his many hand swipes and gropes, you could’ve stopped about eighty percent of those assaults, drawing further attention to yourself. But if you had done so you were sure you wouldn’t have been able to hold yourself back and would’ve gone berserk. Thus instinctively your body adopted Medaka’s creed and suppressed itself through 『Model Student』, but even that may have been a bad choice. Thus, you turn forward with the perfect countermeasure to get Misogi Kumagawa to answer all of your questions.

Busting into a wide fit of tears, your face turns sour as it breaks into a sorrowful expression. Using those empathy powers to full use, you’re able to fully manipulate your emotions to bring yourself into a deep crying fit. You had way too many examples including Saki Sukinasaki’s unfortunate experiences to draw from to better make yourself convincing to the surprised Kumagawa. If this was going to be a war of the psychological, then you were going to be the one who’s victorious in the end.

“How could you Mr. President! No matter what the reason, there are some things that you shouldn’t do to someone. Especially examining a young maiden’s body without permission.” You cry, balling your eyes out as you drop to your knees, covering your face as a waterfall of tears comes out in comedic fashion. Kumagawa meanwhile was silent as he watches this love comedy turn into a dramatic soap opera. What was really selling it was how authentic and genuine your feelings and expression was. Not even Kumagawa could tell whether or not if you were faking it or not.

“Now I won’t be able to show my face to my family or friends. My ancestors won’t be able to rest in peace and only bring misfortune for the rest of my days. Worst of all, I….I...I can’t get married anymore. You’re the worst Mr. Kumagawa!” You sob, banging your balled-up fist into the ground, following every cliche you can think of revolving around this scenario. As a result, Kumgawa took a step back as he was left feeling rather shameful. Or at least, you were feeling that as you kept your eyes from

“How are you going to take responsibility for this!” You lift your head, pointing out your finger as you upsettingly twist your face to a scorned woman, finally hitting the last nail on the coffin. All while maintaining your frail demure demeanor too.

Thinking about it real closely, Misogi tilts his head rather awkwardly, resembling one of those owls given his unusual movements. “「Hmm, you make a fair argument. By no mistake do I believe I did anything wrong, therefore I’m not going to apologize. But it would be rather troublesome leaving a sweet, innocent girl like yourself with such defilement. I haven’t even gotten to ask what colored of panties you’re wearing today.」”

“「So how about this. How about I’ll marry you instead?」” Misogi offers, causing you to stiff up and turned to stone. The incomplete student body president gave off a rather serious look on his face, furthering your grief as your mind flashes at such an absurd outcome. “「I might not look at it but my father is quite a wealthy businessman and my mother is a notorious lawyer. I might be a failure but even someone like me can be useful, like literature for example. My teachers have said on numerous occasions that I have a way with words. And science just so happens to be my favorite subject. So I’ll be honored if you take my hand and let me be in your care.」”

Now it was your turn to be left speechless by the paradoxical actions of Misogi Kumagawa. If nothing else this was turning into quite the psychological battle that such series like Death Note, Dr. Stone, and especially the information warfare and fraught warfare the Promised Neverland was known for. Once again Kumagawa redefined the game with just a single move, leaving you at a rather troublesome pickle. But before you could get the chance to answer, something unforeseen suddenly takes course. Without even being aware of it happening, you would look down to see a rather massive Philips screw with a plus head currently wedged deep into your abdomen. Only after noticing it did you feel tremendous pain surging throughout your body as blood starts to spill from your mouth.

“....Wha….” You mutter, coughing up blood as everything starts to become fuzzy and disoriented. Your might was registering warning signs as the document relating to the term 『Science Fiction』 was rapidly filling itself out with text, much like 『Trans-Fiction』did.

“「Just kidding~ It’ll be far easier to make that experience and the memory associated with it….become nothing instead.」” Misogi smiles, this time giving a rather cruel one as you feel yourself collapsing to the ground. “But don’t worry, although I hit your guts with that screw, I made sure no permanent damage will forecome to it. Though I have been led to change my mind on a dime, earning me the notorious reputation as a big liar, or lying demon, this skill makes sure that this experience will be a fictional encounter.”

The words 『All Fiction』slowly start to appear on screen as the last piece of the element was now clear. To witch you find yourself blacking out as the fuzziness was taking hold of you.

“How disappointing...and to think for just a moment...I thought I found the person that I was looking for... ” Misogi mutters, dropping his act as his true self came to light. Sheer disappointment followed by empty nihilism covers his judging expression as he looks at you from below.

Use our condition to our advantage and use Wonderland in order to make the screw on us act as nothing more as a harmless dissolving anesthesia as it goes deeper in our body that makes us semi unconscious enough to still use our skill and hear whatever happens next. We basically erase the properties of his screw into something harmless while it makes it seem to Kumagawa that the screw is acting normal and erasing our memory of this event as it goes deeper into our body.

>Accept your circumstance and wake up once you recovered from the fuzzy feeling
Was torn between accepting and trying to use The Beginning. I'm gonna bet on the information about his abilities remaining even if he erases the experience itself, since it doesn't change the fact that he used the abilities in the first place. We'll forget the memory but hopefully still at least know what Science and Trans Fiction do. I'm worried about The Beginning giving away who we are and I'd rather we keep our disguise intact.

>>4021609
We used it to unlock our sealed memories and finally meet with Ajimu so I believe it does.

>>4021754
Not sure if that's how Wonderland works though it'd be real fucking swell if it did. It only works on ourselves and not the screw, so it'd be a fight between Kumagawa erasing our memories against us believing that we do have those memories. It'd be a fight between our Abnormalities and I have a feeling Wonderland will lose out to All Fiction, it's too dependent on having a strong belief.

This has to be like what the fourth time this week you underwent a sort of blacking out the episode. If you didn’t know any better you would think some cosmic force has it out with you. Still, in all of your experiences so far, never before did you feel something quite this painful and fog inducing. Well, actually that was a half-lie as there was 『Bookmaker EX』 as you labeled the mutated skill upon recollecting on past memories blocked by trauma and more accurately the skill itself. Being an expert when it comes to 『Bookmaker』, you know for a fact what you were feeling wasn’t it at all. The only thing you had to go by on was this being Kumagawa’s new minus that he obtained that’s just as frightening and disturbing as his original minus.

Using the last of your strength before the fuzziness could completely grab hold of you, you advert your attention to 『My Wonderland』. The skill’s main drawback is that it usually revolves around influencing just you with its mind tricks turn reality. At the same time, that was also a strength since it’s requirements were pretty vague. The blood dripping from your body and the contact made with the screw technically means that it was apart of you. Therefore, it was within acceptable parameters. Even so, it was a gamble since you never try testing this hypothesis to be right on the judgment but what else did you have to lose? Putting your all into it, you subtly start changing how the screw affects you, converting it into a self-dissolving anesthesia, putting you in a semi-unconscious state while maintaining the image of a screw.

Through careful application and strong belief, the skill 『My Wonderland』 starts to glow as new text starts to form underneath, signifying that matter that makes physical contact and/or carry emotional weight can be altered on how it affects or influence you. Just barely in the nick of time, the Phillip screw changed to your prophecy as it breaks apart on schedule. But even with that, you felt that something was off. Or rather you don’t particularly remember why you did what you needed to do or what you and Kumagawa was talking about previously. Unknown to you, the entire experience and memory of the shameful act previously was mere fiction as it never happened. If it wasn’t due to the anesthesia, your body would’ve instinctively went berserk based on experiencing something like this….on a much greater scale previously.

As you lie unconscious on the floor, Kumagawa was walking over to check if everything was alright. On the surface, it seems that there was no wound as much as he said the damages done to your physical body has disappeared, leaving only the mental damage intact. That being said, Kumagawa slowly places his hand on your skirt, lifting it to see what was underneath. You wished that you went unconscious to avoid further humiliation. Before Kumagawa would see just what sort of wonders that the skirt covers, someone would start to come directly into the student council room. Your senses were blurry due to being semi-unconscious but with your sense of touch and hearing still at full power, you were fine just listening in to the conversation. Judging from the voice, you can tell that it was the general affairs manager Saki Sukinasaki, the overly energetic and scatterbrain senior that you had the fortune of meeting with. You couldn’t help but mentally take a big sigh of relief as you didn’t want to be alone with him.


“「Ah! There you are, Ms. Saki. I’ve been waiting patiently for you.」” Misogi smiles, flipping the skirt for just a split second before magically putting it back in its proper place before Saki could see the act. He was very lucky you were pretending to be unconscious.

“Kumagawa I told you that I needed to take care of some loose ends. I figured that anyone, even someone of your ….unorthodox manners could handle addressing the new students without causing too much trouble. ….Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!” Saki screams, noticing that you were currently unconscious while Kumagawa was kneeling over to reach over and put you in piggyback function. “Ms. Onizuka! Was this another case of her anemia acting up?! I thought she said she was alright for the meeting but I guess it was too good to be true to leave such a fragile woman with you alone.” Saki exclaims, showing immense if not exaggerated worry as she fumbles around your seemingly unconscious body.

“「Oh no, it wasn’t a case of her anemia. I just happened to get on a hands-on approach purely for educational purposes. Say Saki, did you know that Ms. Onizuka’s BWH is one hundred and eight centimeters, sixty-two centimeters and ninety-four centimeters? She’s practically built to be a splendid mother one day.」” Misogi waves his hand, redirecting Saki’s concerns as the echos of a loud drum akin to a bawong sound effect and other provocative cartoon effects serve as visual examples. Again, someone was fucking with your predicament.

“Kumagawa….I don’t think any girl wants to openly share their BWH, much less have you of all people be the one to openly talk about it. But I suppose I should be only thankful you didn’t try to check what sort of panties she was wearing, unlike the last transfer student.” Saki sighs, awkwardly sweating as she was feeling sick to her stomach.
>>
>>4022616

“「Well, I was curious about that too. But given her toned features, I can’t help but get the feeling she wears spats underneath her skirt. And if that’s the case, then based on her personality...I think she would choose something traditionalist like..White lac- .」” Before Misogi could finish, Saki yanks you off from his back and holds you in a princess carrying position. What came next was the general affairs manager’s respectful outrage at her superior.

“Stop! I don’t want to hear you using your detective skills just to figure out the type and colors of a woman’s undergarments!” Saki yells, literally putting her foot down while now carrying you herself.

“「Right, right I sometimes forget that despite your true demeanor that you’re still a stunning maiden. Anyway, we need to take Ms. Onizuka to the hospital and let her rest for the remainder of the day. I only apply a proper remedy to her unfortunate experience, but even then she’s going to need some time to brush off 『Science-Fiction』. I went a little carried away and envision quite the effective screw through its properties and the amount of kinetic force necessary to bring her down.」” Misogi smile, placing his hands to his side as he marvels at his handiwork. Mentally you begin taking notes now that you no longer have to suffer the cruel and unusual punishment that this situation provided.

“I’m only assuming that proper remedy was a case of 『All Fiction』. To this day I’m still having trouble figuring out what sort of skill it is. My best bet so far it’s a skill that illusionary based that somehow temporally rewrites reality. Like the Izanagi and Izanami combo from Naruto.” Saki remarks, already putting two and two together at what sort of conversation would result in the need of erasing the poor girl’s mind. Part of her was still trying to rationalize the irrational law-breaking prowess that was 『All Fiction』.

“「Not a bad guess, but I personally would’ve gone with Kyoka Suigetsu’s complete hypnosis if you wanted to be more accurate. Granted, I did fight a Non-Equal with such a skill. I believe it was called, 『 Magician’s Secrets』 but compared to what 『 All Fiction』truly is, it just can’t compare with its mere sleight of hand trickery. 」” Misogi explains nonchalantly, slowly walking back to the desk to go back to reading his shonen jump magazine.

“「Anyway, if you don’t want to do it, I’ll be more than happy to take care of the body. But that would still leave us with a glaring problem. Getting it out of here without drawing any unnecessary attention.」”

Saki narrows her eyes, for a moment dropping her disguise to reveal a more sinister appearance as she sets you down next to the wall. “No, I’ll do it. I’d feel sick to my stomach if I let you of all people manhandle an unconscious young woman’s body and take her to the hospital unsupervised. Besides...”
>>
>>4022652

“....With this skill, the complete subjugation of even the most mightest of rulers,『 Error Message Plate』. I’ll be able to control Ms. Onizuka and have her act normally before sending her to the same hospital as Aki Jakago.” Upon command, Saki pulls out a single playing card out of thin air, the card taking the picture of a black joker. With a shark tooth grin, she takes aim and throws the card directly at your forehead.

“「Sounds good. With this, I’ll leave it to you and I’ll get back to addressing the other transfer student once you make Ms. Onizuka make her leave. 」” Misogi smiles, watching the action with morbid curiosity before pulling himself back to reading his manga.

Things have just gone from bad to worse in a split second. In all your time trying to keep tabs on Kumagawa, you did not once consider the possibility that such a sweet, abet scatterbrain girl to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And to add insult to injury, she has the perfect skill to control people from the shadows too as you were now coming into contact with the poker card. Again, it was rather unfortunate that you needed to continue pretending to be unconscious to avoid risking exposure to your true identity. Otherwise, you wouldn’t give Saki the chance to mark you with the card, much less be willing to become her puppet. But what can you do at such unfavorable odds? Using any skills to fight against it would only expose yourself but you couldn’t just let yourself be brainwashed either. Thus you feel yourself in an internal stalemate.

That is until an idea violently smacks you on the metaphorical ass. Thinking back to how Anshin’in was able to project her consciousness and spirit outside of her body to communicate with you despite still trapped inside, it starts raising the expectancy bar among possible solutions. If she was able to trigger such an out of body experience, then surely you should be able to do so too. After all, she was living in your body and you experienced first hand how the method works. Putting your entire mental fortitude into it, you concentrate heavily on detaching your consciousness from your body as the brainwashing effect starts to talk hold. There was only one chance for this to work and if you fubar it up you won’t get another one. Such dire odds only made you feel more excited as you push past the clock, blacking out at the last second.

Slowly opening your eyes you start to look around. Unsurprisingly you were still inside the student council office with Kumagawa casually reading his manga book. Saki, on the other hand, was adjusting her surgical mask, hiding those sharp teeth and slowly returning to her masquerade of an overly eccentric Genki girl. At first, you thought this meant was a complete failure since you didn’t feel like you escape. However, as you try to pull yourself up, you would see that your body was still lying unconsciously as you rose. With a disturbing smile, you start sweating bullets at your hand before switching back and forth with looking at your body and yourself. The words start to appear above your head as you freak over this new out of body experience. It was another pop-up menu with the tittle 『 Red Cloak』 for name, signifying you yet another skill unlocked.
>>
>>4023015

Although rightfully concern with this change in development, your mind quickly loops back into rationality. This must have been 『 The Beginning』’s work, or at least the alteration of the cosmic energy that influences the skill. As from what you can tell, knowing the necessary steps and experiencing it first hand gave you the necessary requirements to learn a skill rather than just fumbling randomly hoping for a good skill for your current predicament. You couldn’t help but make a bittersweet smile over it, fully aware that you must have intaken more of Anshin’in’s abnormal chi than you originally thought. Given how well your cells incorporated such volumes into themselves, you briefly compared yourself to the bio-android Cell during his resurrection and copying of Son Goku’s instant transmission technique. In any case, you watch in mild horror at your physical body starting to move on its own.
Stepping out of the classroom in normal fashion, your body turns to greet Hansode who was waiting silently behind the hall. The room was soundproof so it was highly unlikely she has heard anything that has happened prior. Puckering up those full lips into a soft smile, the mind-controlled Keikō confronts Hansode. “Greetingsh Haori Shinakumo, Sawrry for taking shush a long time with da interview” Hearing your body speak in such a manner made you stumble down in both shame and regret. If this was how things were going to end up then you might as should’ve fought back.

“Ern, it’s no problem really. I figured that it was going to take a while considering how shy you are Keikō.” Hansode smiles back, hiding her brief moment of concern considering that her childhood friend was talking like the town’s drunk.

“Oah, Oookey, thwank you for beewing soooo understandishing. Anyfay, well hab ro talk ladder. I needish to makke a check upsh with the docthor. So goodbye for nyow Haori~” The brainwashed Keikō hugs Hansode, giving a warm goodbye as you pull yourself together and pull out Analysis. To your fortune, it seems like that you can still use skills, though it was clear in this astral projection state some will be far more effective than others.
>>
>>4023051

Nevertheless, you start tailing over your body as it walks in a single file order towards the hospital. From what you could tell so far after spending a good long while observing the mind-controlling skill, it was quite the formidable ability. It’s a skill that can control anything through the usage of a medium such as regular cards. It wasn’t a skill that can easily be fought as so long as one feels the need to control then they’ll continue to be manipulated. Worst yet was the fact the mind-control was quite thorough in the brainwashing that the people affected by this skill don’t even know that they’re being controlled in the first place. As for side-effects while active it seems those under the control of the skill will have a slurred speech pattern, making them sound drunk despite not being aware of this. Once again this was quite the humiliating predicament as you use your astral body to follow your main body’s movements.

To your amazement 『 Red Cloak』 was actually more useful than you previously gave credit. Like with how Anshin’iin explain to you, you find yourself fully in control of your astral form as everyone around you wasn’t able to see or hear you. Sharing many attributes commonly found with ghosts such as incorporeality, levitation, imperceptibility, selective interaction, reflection traveling, and possession, it made it relatively easy to keep up with your body. On the other hand, it was especially awkward watching yourself from afar acting like some sort of basket case on the way to the hospital. Even if she took the less crowded method of riding a bike towards the intended location, there was still the element of dread lingering down your mind. Regardless, putting up with it will only be a little while longer as you finally reach your destination.

Arriving at the hospital you see your body checking in with the hospital staff in charge of Aki Jakago. Almost surprising in an eerie sort of way, the medical staff took you to the same hospital room where the former student body president was carried upon collapsing on the floor. The black joker playing card still wedged deep inside of your forehead, continuing the brainwashing mind control that enslaved your physical body to date. Again, you couldn’t help but fume over being treated like some sort of mannequin or blow up barbie doll given your supernatural curves only a plane jane main heroine would’ve gained after her growth spurt time skip arc. It was humiliating being treated like this after coming so far in your mission. But at the very least committing yourself to experience Saki’s skill first hand gave a clear path towards understanding all the ins and outs of her skill through 『 Analysis』

Well, in any case, you merely follow your body as it was taken to the same hospital room. Seeing the nurses undress your body left for a rather mixed reception as you again endured for the time being. But at the very least your physical form was covered by unisex cotton, long-sleeved pajamas instead of the patient robes. Not that you’ll be staying this hospital for long if you had anything to say about it once you went through the process of memorizing the hospital as an invisible spectator. Nevertheless, you took it upon yourself to start digesting the information that you obtained during the conversation with Kumagawa. The very thought of Hansode being in conversation with him made you sick to your astral stomach. But the sooner you deduce how his skills work the better you can be at helping Hansode in case the worst happens. Starting the most lingering skills since your last encounter, you start looking at
『Trans-Fiction』and 『Science Fiction』.

The first skill 『Trans-Fiction』is a combo of the original components of 『Bookmaker』 and the strange element that would ultimately make up 『All Fiction』. The two mysterious elements lead to a rather powerful "barrier space" around the target. Be it through sight or the usage of a medium such as a Philips Screw, it manifests the spatial distortion of the barrier, producing a blackening void that envelops the intended target regardless of size or power. All with the intention of neutralizing the target, sealing them in a manner similar to 『Bookmaker』 before collapsing upon itself, producing a suction like an effect similar to a black hole as it disappears into the void. This void sealing effect cuts off the target from the outside world, trapping them in another space as their existence becomes unregistrable, like a non-existing entity. Your first comparison with the skill is that of Kakashi’s Kamui.

>>4028728

The second skill 『Science Fiction』is an amalgamation of the force of will that allows 『Bookmaker』 to manifest in the form of screws or any other kind of mental imagery, and the imaginary property that the mysterious element that 『All Fiction』 carries. Symbolizing the power of the warped mental aspect that Kumagawa possesses as he imposes his “reality” on to others. Therefore, it’s not surprising that he comes across his form of imagination creation skill or ability. However, on closer inspection, it seems to be much more powerful than the standard given its sovereignty over the many imaginative based skills. It not only imposes his force of will into a tangible construct, but those mental images or immaterial objects bend the rules that govern laws such as physics to make themselves stronger. Choosing whether or not they operate on the same wavelength as the laws or ignore them for other aspects, such as only delivering mental damage after undoing any physical alteration/diversions from the source. The only thing it does obey is the limit of Kumagawa’s creativity and strength of will.

This time you thought of the childish yet ingenious talents of Gotenks as a comparison due to him manifesting constructs such as literal ghosts into being. Still, breaking down both of these skills from the remnant of 『Bookmaker EX』that you and Anshin’in have been subjective gave for a rather grim perspective on the current predicament. A skill that severe the connections and effectively seals a target, making it virtually impossible for inside interference, and a skill that manifests one imagination and amplifies that influence to avoid the standard pitfalls that mental based skills, especially ones of these generally suffer from. Both were exceptionally strong skills in their own right, especially considering who was the holder of such weapons. However, the fact that both skills pale in comparison to the new skill 『All Fiction』that was currently unknown. That very same skill that managed to “defeat” you in a single blow.

Now you were no stranger to being defeated by skills, techniques or other tricks seemingly out of thin air. A semi-frequent occurrence much like Yusuke Urameshi’s adventures against Territory based psychics as generally those techniques ignore power levels or other tangible means of strength and prowess. But like the biggest sore loser, you generally turn that blindsided acts into strength for the rematch, breaking down the secret to ensure that you’ll usually most likely not lose a second time. Yet the way you were taking out so easily and without being noticed by your reaching field of perception left you rather stumped. Even with the description given by Saki, it seems rather hard to believe such a deceptive skill can influence the fabric of reality. It made more sense to rationalize 『All Fiction』 as some sort of restoration leveled healing ability like Crazy Diamond, the complete hypnosis of the five senses like Kyoka Suigetsu, or some other kind of sensible ability. But no matter how hard you try and analyze it, you were no closer to breaking the mystery of 『All Fiction』 than you were when you started the journey.

The only thing you have to go off on that it a convoluted skill that potentially breaks the laws of physics, similar to 『My Wonderland』.A paradoxical ability that can make the impossible possible and make the irreversible reversible. Thinking about it was giving your astral form one hell of a headache, but then again Minuses were like that, especially ones relating to the most minus person around, Misogi Kumagawa. Either way, this skill was a special power on par with the absolute sovereignty that 『Bookmaker』 carries. No amount of science or logic was going to uncover it, neither was trying to remember what exactly happened to cause that experience to disappear from all manner of your records. Running out of potential options, your amber eyes turn to meet your sleeping body underneath the hospital bed sheets.

“...I might as well get my body back now.” You mutter, having spent a good long while simply floating in the sky as you broke down the skill knowledge in your memory banks. Slowly move your hand towards the physical form that was your body, a powerful jolt of energy repeals your touch, resulting in you wincing back as you wave your hand to shake the sensation away.

Narrowing your amber eyes if not a dark shade of red, you gave off an ominious glare.“Tsc...should’ve known that would happen. It was that predicament that ended up being the cause for 『Red Cape』to awaken. So trying to go back to my body while 『Error Message Plate』 is still in effect would be foolishly suicidal. Now, what’s it about that skill that’s bothersome to deal with.”
>>
>>4028762

Placing your hand on your chin, you start to ponder rather long as you think back to your breakdown of the skill. Thinking for a short while the answer would subtly slap itself right in your face. “...it was something relating to rulers. Rulers….Ah! That’s it! So long as I’m riddled with the need to control I can’t break out of it. So all I need to do is just give up my freedom.” You laugh to yourself, feeling rather refreshed upon finally discovering the secret to beating Saki’s skill. Not one minute later did you completely change your tune as you metaphorically flip the table in frustration.

“Like hell, I can fight something like that! There’s no way I’m going to accept being a puppet to get my body back! There must be something in this building that I can use to remove the card on my skull and relinquish control of my body back to me. Think Kei, think.”

If the morality of it's the problem: the previous vote option also included that we'd try "to communicate with her via possession." I imagine Aki Jakago would also wish to regain consciousness and we'd be able to help her with that. I believe she also knows what All Fiction can do and we have a mutual enemy in Kumagawa.

Being put in such a grating situation was not how you wanted to spend your Tuesday morning. Or in this case close to lunchtime given the trip to the Hospital. Now it wasn’t like time wasn’t on your side as sooner or later the skill 『Error Message Plate』has to fade into inactivity. But how can you be sure of that? There was no proof as to how long it can exist. For all of what you know you could be stuck in a constant comatose like state much like sleeping beauty or snow white. Putting aside all the inconveniences that being stuck in such a state can bring, it’ll only cause Hansode unfortunate trouble. You were a lot of things but being a burden was not one of them. So the only thing that came to mind was just overpowering the mind control skill. That is until you think back to the last time you tried something similar. Lamenting in distress, you close your eyes at unknowingly causing mental injury and troubling Anshin’in.

Turning to your direction you saw another soul. Well, to be more accurate it’s more you finally acknowledge the elephant in the room. Sleeping on the other bed in the large two-room medical hold was the previous student council president Aki Jakago. Was it fate or just coincidence that you ended up sharing a room with such an important figure to Suisou Academy. An answer to which currently escapes you. In any case, this predicament was not as undesirable as you once believed, your mind begins to formulate another idea. According to what you briefly remember Aki has been in this hospital for the past two weeks after her encounter with Misogi Kumagawa. The other student council members didn’t suffer a nearly as bad mental backlash compared to the ringleader Aki. You can already tell from first glance that her physical body was in top physical condition. The only thing that was holding her back was her state of mind.

Therefore, it was perfect to see if you can actually possess a living person rather than only capable of playing around with the inanimate objects during your analysis of 『Red Cape』. But as you contemplate performing such an act, your sense of morality starts to come to the surface. Was it ethically correct to possess another person, unconscious or not to save yourself from your very own predicament? Ignoring the obvious implication of invading someone’s body, it was still the fact it was another female body. At least with 『Ladies and Gentlemen』the female form you have was still your own, this was another person’s body. On the other hand, this was the perfect chance to learn more about Kumagawa’s mysterious skill, as well as perhaps fixing the mental damage inflicted on Aki and get her out of her coma. In the end, after thinking long and hard about it, the positives outweighed the negatives. But it still was rather unbecoming.
>>
>>4029804

“...why do I keep ended up in these situations?” You mumble, blushing heavenly as you lean across the sleeping Aki. It was just another human body, and you have gotten used to being a girl with this long month endeavor. But that said, your wholesome innocence was turning this into a rigorous challenge in itself. It was a good thing you were invisible to the outside party, otherwise one would point out how tomato-like your skin tone has become.

Clinching your eyes and balling your fists, you let out a loud scream to purge out your weakness. “Fine! Whatever, let’s just do this!” You yell, whipping away the awkwardness and grit your teeth to resolve yourself of any hesitation. On the count of three, you dive yourself into Aki’s unconscious body, keeping your concertation steady as you slip inside. Feeling like you were slipping into a costume, you start connecting yourself into Aki’s body, one mental limb at a time.

In the meantime, your subconsciousness still has some hangups over with possessing a teenage girl’s body. So unbeknownst to yourself, your heart starts to resonate with your skill 『The Beginning』. If a skill that can best help not only you but Aki Jakago simultaneously, then it would make up for the indecent act of using another person as a living suit. Like with Kui, you were doing this with good intention as having another ally in Suisou Academy was the ideal situation. But even without that, you couldn’t help but be sympathetic towards the former student present, especially now as you begin to feel the lingering terror that she was still carrying after being controlled by Saki and dismantled by Kumagawa. Thus, your innocent yet chivalrous soul manages to come forth and manifests a rather powerful skill. Through empathy, you feel yourself growing closer with the former president and as a person.
>>
>>4029851

Slowly opening your eyes after what seems like an eternity hooking yourself with Aki Jakago’s body, your eyes start to begin looking around as Aki’s. Everything was as you last envision, the white hospital room with the wide window, indicating you that you were on the third floor on this sunny day. Blinking your eyes back and forth for a good minute, the familiar sensation of being in a living body naturally starts to envelop you. Signifying that the possession was a success, you pull yourself rather slowly from the hospital bed. Being inactive for two weeks has caused some soreness of muscle, but nothing that you couldn’t endure. Brushing your thick, drill-like blond hair from your face, you let out a brief sigh of consent at your possession being successful. Instinctively you had your hand resting against your chest, blinking a bit at the sudden discovery.

“...Eighty-seven centimeters, fifty-nine centimeters, and…. ninety-three centimeters. “ You muttered, placing your hands against your chest, noticing how notoriously smaller the chest area was but just how similarly thick and well endowed the lower body was in comparison to your own. At first glance, you saw this body being the haughty Ojou-sama or stuck up princess archetype. Now sweating bullets and turning a dark shade of red, you quickly remove your hand from your chest, folding your legs in proper sitting order as you truly start reflecting on your action.

“...Stay calm Ken, you’re Keikō now. Well, if you want to be accurate, you’re Keiko who’s possessing Aki Jakago, therefore you’re Aki Jakago right now. ...Ow, my head. “ Just thinking about the convoluting aspect compelled you to rub your temple and massage the brain. Rubbing it for a good minute, a card starts to fall out from your skull. Instinctively reaching out for it, another hand suddenly manifests to catch the playing card, resembling the shape of a wolf’s palm.

“...eh?” You blink, looking at the phantasm force currently holding the card, unaware that your golden drill hair was turning pitch black like the night sky. In your head starts to echo the words 『Playmaker』 followed by the phrase “Matching patterns unlocked. The same type of skill expertise achieved can now counteract 『Error Messager Plate』”.

You find yourself staring deeply at the sight of the disembodied hand of overly husky, primeval might. Strongly resembling lycanthropy variation of a Caspian Sea Wolf given its hybrid status. Blinking a bit at the sight, you start to watch as the playing card assimilates itself into the palm of the barbarous wolf appendage. As it breaks down the card and begins observation to fulfill the necessary steps for its signature sub-skill to take into effect, your outer appearance subtly changes in alignment to the lingering will manifest as the noble, wolf spirit. Ears start to elongate themselves, becoming pointy and more angled indistinctly visible manner, with the canine teeth the following suit. Hair turning raven black, along with eyes morphing to resemble that of a wolf’s with their glowing golden hue and black, round pupils, vertically slit when enraged.

Even your fingernails and toenails morph themselves into claws, signifying the adopted savage nature as the hair becomes more ridged and spikey while still retaining a form of fluidity and smoothness. A small increase in muscle mass was evident given the slight tightness of your pajama outfit, as with the muscle tone becoming sharply defined. Signs that weren’t evident as of yet due to the relaxed state that your body was currently in. In fact, even you didn’t notice the sudden change done to your body. Although it’s a different body, things like breathing were becoming easier and more natural to you than previously. That stuffiness that was coursing through you was now residing. It wasn’t until seeing the altered colored strand and feeling rather itchy that you start to realize that your appearance has changed.

Taking out a pocket mirror from Aki’s bag you start to look at your changed appearance. Keeping yourself just barely from screaming, you notice just how tribal your appearance currently stands during 『Playmaker』’s observation process. “...This will take some getting used to. ...Still less vicious than Pandemonium Diablo Mode.” You sigh, noticing your voice is slightly husky as you calm yourself down. The fact that 『Playmaker』 hasn’t fully manifested and chose to root itself inside your body was a clear sign to it reacting to the damages that Aki Jakago currently suffers from.

Right on cue, the raven black haired turns into a deep shade of blue, resembling lapis lazuli, little darker than the usual azure blue shade. Aside from that, the remaining transformation signs of Diabolus Mode continue to remain the same, abet more feral due to 『Playmaker』’s activation. It was somewhat surprising to see yourself able to handle the transformation without losing yourself, then again you were within another’s body, which regrettably isn’t anywhere near as strong to handle the devil mode transformations. Heck, you weren’t sure if it was due to 『Playmaker』 that the transition into Diabolous Mode was possible at all.
>>
>>4030225

“...Forgive me Ms. Jakago, but I’m going to have to adjust this body if I am to heal you as fast as possible.” With a single hand on the chest, you start to close your eyes and visualize 『My Wonderland』 into activation. Although it was to only be briefly, you were going to improve your synchronization and better bring out Diabolos Mode’s power by becoming more attune to Aki’s body.

As you focus yourself through meditation, you feel your soul and life force better attuning themselves to the task at hand. Steadily but surely, it was beginning enough of a change, gradually removing the alienating aspect of Aki Jakago’s body. Before long, it seems like a perfect match between you and Aki’s body as your resonation rate continues to skyrocket.
Actually, you weren’t even sure if you activated 『My Wonderland』 as the physical body was responding to your will, achieving a similar effect as Aki’s body starts accelerating. The wild attribute succeeding and in its place was nearly identical to your own body with Aki Jakago’s. As a result, the strain of Diabolous mode was now non-existence as its full effects start to take form. Opening your eyes halfway, you glance back at the pocket mirror. Judging from the previous appearance, it seems that Aki’s body was undergoing quite the workout.

Not only was it better responding to your will, but that excessive energy accumulating from Anshin’in’s cosmic essence was properly redistributed and cultivated into Aki Jakago’s physique, resulting in a noteworthy growth spurt both physically, mentally and even spiritually. An immense yet safe warmness spreads throughout your shared body. Washing away the lingering terror and similar acts of traumatic experience that you underwent through 『Bookmaker』. As you think about it closely, perhaps that’s why the healing process and resonance adjustment have been taking such a positive if not a completely substantial boon than even what you were considering. They say misery love company but this was anything but misery-inducing as you focus your attention back on the information gathered on 『Playmaker』. Spending a couple of hours like this gave just enough time to breakdown the skill.
>>
>>4030231

『Playmaker』is the spiritual manifestation of oneself that takes the form of summonable entities dictated by the concept of one’s inner thoughts or subconscious. Govern by the power of one’s life energy and strength of will, this battle avatar presents itself as a figure hovering over the user, although possible to manifest from within, granting its physical characteristics and attributes as a thick, invisible layer of an exoskeleton, triggering a form of lycanthropy. It is quite the supplementary skill as it can be utilized in a wide array of different applications, including offensive and defensive properties. The concept of Yamoto Damashii or Fighting Spirit best describes this skill, embodying the psyche. Similar to the astral body skill 『Red Cape』 it invisible and intangible to the naked eye, but unlike 『Red Cape』, it is freely capable of controlling the degree of tangibility, allowing it to interact with normal matter.

Of course, such actions aren’t invisible to the naked eye and will be seen likened to a poltergeist phenomenon. The more you think about it, the more the capabilities and characteristic of 『Playmaker』 sounds very similar to a Jojo Stand or a Persona. Right down to its overwhelming physical prowess in every basic characteristic, but crippled by it’s tremendously short-range, forcing it to be strictly close-range. Outside of that aspect, it seems to only have one signature effect or innate ability. A special power that might as well be dubbed plot convenience. Whatever it makes contact with another medium or the source of the skill, it can imprint that characteristic onto itself, developing a very similar if not the exact same innate ability or skill.

A method of copying akin to transcreation rather than just straight duplication, while also being similar 『The Beginning』’s reactive adaption. Like how the adaptive immune system makes antiserum to counteract the respective diseases or ailments, 『Playmaker』 grants the power and develop a remedy through an antibiotic like reactive adaption to counteract the same power. A process that can only be done if it can assimilate the innate characteristics and components through either a sufficient enough sample or portion of the main source. As well as being able to breakdown and deduce how the skill. talent or innate ability works, requiring one to convince themselves it’s within 『Playmaker』’s capability.
>>
>>4030247

Even without it, it’s abnormal physical attributes and characteristics as well as its phantasm physiology tailors it to quite the formidable skill that can theoretically prevail like the Protagonist’s Jotaro Kujo and Josuke Higashikata’s stand anomalies. At the same time, as it directly ties around your stamina and strength of will, its potency and effectiveness are crucial with your state of mind, at it’s the weakest point even the most regular of individual will be able to perceive this invisible manifestation of fighting spirit. Luckily for you that you have way more than enough excessive vitality and stamina to burn as evidenced by sharing portions of it with Aki. In any case, you end up naming this feral behemoth humanoid Steppenwolf. You weren’t sure why but it just fits for better or worse.

Speeding through weeks of recovery time in essentially through half the school day, you start to feel another beat. You can only estimate the resonating beat was, in fact, Aki Jakago’s soul. Being the victim of long-term inducing brainwashing and the mental breakdown from Misogi Kumagawa’s minus energy, it was a wonder if she was going to actually make it out of the hospital within a month’s time. The girl clearly needed some semblance of an actual therapy ER group for additional weeks on end before she shows any hopes of recovery. But so long as the brain was stable enough, then that was enough for 『Error Messaging Plate』to take effect. Nevertheless, the original host of the body that you currently inhabiting was showing signs of awakening from her long induce comatose state.

Sensing this happening in real-time, you hoister yourself up and move towards the bathroom. Locking the door behind you, you took it upon yourself to place your hands against the sides of the sink bowl. You needed to address this as tactful and careful as possible. Despite your earnest and wholesome intentions, as well as your efforts at repairing the student body president, there was still the pink elephant in the room. Most people wouldn’t exactly take being used as a puppet by another lying down. But with Aki slowly awakening, there wasn’t time to think of an elaborate excuse as her vision starts to come too.

“Um...Surprised~” You smile at Aki Jakago, the version of her looking from the other side of the mirror, exposing those elongated canines. Respectfully, the real Aki Jakago looks at her current appearance with a freaked out hysteria. Her right-hand twitches violently as she was about to deck herself in the face to drive out what’s inside of her

Although she has just awakened Aki Jakago was already acting on first intuition by striking at you with all of her strength. She really was the haughty princess type given how she has no intention of being someone’s servile puppet. Even in a body that’s not your own, it was still no threat to you. Given how well you managed to synchronize with this body in such a short time, it’ll be child’s play to catch Aki’s swinging hand and overpower her. Although, if you were to do such a thing it’ll only cause the panicking former student council president to further descend into hysteria. If you wanted any chance of proper communication then you need to be cooperative. That said, you try to brace Aki’s facial muscles to lessen the damage as you feel a powerful slap coming. With a loud crackle sound, the right side of your cheek was smacked hard by Aki Jakago, almost resulting in you stumbling to the wall.

Despite reducing the damage, a deep stinging sensation currently lingers across your cheek, causing you to briefly winch as you keep a closed eye smile. “Okay, I deserved that. But let me first say that this is still your body, and I rather you not hurt yourself out of hysteria.” You explain to Aki who was glaring at you through the mirror, like a proper princess archetype.

“D-Don’t tell me what to do! First off just who the hell are you and why are you inside my body?! Are you the one who’s been puppeteering me during my long slumber? Are you working for that guy?! You are, aren’t you? Just defeating me wasn’t enough but he wants to completely trample my pride and make me his obedient servant girl-” Aki rambles, her suspicions getting more rampant as she starts to have a rather defensive shroud of skepticism and justified anger towards his predicament. You sense her starting to come close to relapsing from the mental trauma she unfortunately accumulated, making you grit your teeth as you got a bad case of deja vu.

“I’m not working for Misogi Kumagawa!” You scream, cutting Aki from her rambling as she was taken by your assertiveness. Now cutting herself off and choosing to be quiet, you open your eyes to look at the abrasive and arrogant mask crumbling and a pouting expression coming out as its replacement. “Please, I mean you no harm Ms. Jakago. I may know Misogi Kumagawa, but I am in no way his ally. If anything, he views me as his nemesis.”

“...Nemesis…” Aki mutters, her eyes sparkle a bit with her ears perking up.

Letting out a small sigh, you place your hand back on the sink, trying to real your voice down to avoid making Aki appear like some sort of crazy lunatic. “Alright, let’s just calm down and try to talk about this like reasonable people. “

>>4030311
>>4030364
>>4030389

“..Fine, I’ll humor you and let you speak your case.” Aki proudly puffs her cheeks, making a subtle hmph sound as you find yourself imagine the student council president as some sort of tsundere. Even in another body, it seems like bancho pheromones were kicking in.

“Well let’s see, if I were to explain myself then we need to go directly at the beginning.” You say, sweatdropping a bit while keeping a warm smile.

“Sounds good to me. I only just awakened but I can already tell that I’m not strong enough to fight back and take control of my body. Not to mention...I never felt as amazing as I do right this second. I can only assume that’s due to you. So I’m willing to listen to your story and give yourself the chance to explain yourself. Just cause you boldly state that you’re not Misogi Kumagawa’s ally doesn’t mean the enemy of my enemy is my friend for now. I need to confirm what kind of person you are.”

“Yeah, that’s fair. It’s a logical response but even if you didn’t ask I was going to tell you anyway.”

“We’ll start with your name. ...I’m Aki Jakago...student council president of Suisou Academy.” Aki exclaims, putting up her haughty princess demeanor. To which you politely refrain from pointing out just how much of a scardey cat she was being underneath. The last thing you wanted was to make the former president return to being hostile towards you.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Keikō Onizuka.” After metaphorically offering and shaking your hand with Aki, you begin the long tale of telling your story. Naturally, you kept certain facts like you actually being Kenichi Hakumasa and that you're actually a Normal who’s deeply rooted with the mysterious Anshin’in from Aki’s knowledge. Even so, you went into detail about revealing your past and connection with Misogi Kumagawa. Seeing you be rather truthful and earnestly made Aki rather receptive to your story, slowly dropping her skepticism throughout the entire story.

“So let me get this straight. You’re actually a student from Hakoniwa Academia. You went to the same middle school as Misogi Kumagawa and was a long-time nemesis to the former student council president as you notoriously clashed with him until he was forced out. Only for him to appear two years later and put you in basically a near-death state..” Aki remarks, keeping a straight face as she stroke her chin.

“To which I did die but yeah.” You mention, correcting Aki’s perception, to which she merely sweatdrops. A dreadful look starts to spread, but it seems that was enough to explain the out of body experience she was having.

“And in your death, you came back with a new power and slowly but gradually you put yourself back together, went on a journey of self-discovery to regain your lost memories, and then once you made enough progress you transferred into Suisou Academy to recover what you lost and find out what Misogi Kumagawa is up to.”

“And that led to you meeting a fair number of people including Kui Yakeishi, and Saki Sukinasaki before your reunion with Kumagawa. And...sexual harassment aside, you were blind sighted by Kumagawa’s slippery nature. Resulting in being taking over by Saki of all people, and to escape from being brainwashed you ejected your mind and spirit into an astral body, repealing you from returning to your body until you can remove the source of the brainwashing. Hence why...you took habitation in my comatose body.” Aki documents, folding her arms underneath her ample chest and shaking her head after summarizing the long breakdown of the explanation given to her. “ Is that correct?”

“I like to point out it wasn’t my first choice and I much rather just overpower the brainwashing through bancho spirit, but considering I don’t want another repeat and do unnecessary mental damage to my mind, I needed to broaden my horizon. But if its any consolation, I was able to also save you while inhabiting your body.” You mention, lightly lifting your azure blue strands, revealing the steam like aura as even now Diablous mode was healing and restrengthening Aki’s entire being, all to make a healthy and strong mind, body and spirit.

“...I’d say I was just dreaming if I didn’t already smack you...myself twice already during this long-winded explanation.” Aki sighs, pointing to your face as both sides were covered with red hand marks. Although she wasn’t in the wrong for smacking you over the realization of the implied implications you had over synchronized with her body, but you wish she be more considerate with her own body.

“To which I warned you prior not to smack me...well you. Ugh, is this tongue twister just as obnoxious to you as it is to me?” You sigh, rubbing your cheeks as you dealt with the stinging sensation. The girl can certainly slap for a princess.

Aki turns her head, nodding a bit as she breaks off the awkwardness with a loud cough. “Extremely. But I think I’m starting to get the gist of things now that I’m no longer...fragmented in my subconscious from what you told me earlier.”
>>
>>4031292

Taking a moment to gather what you had to say next, you take charge with a serious look on your face. “Ms. Jakago. I know that this must be a rather impolite time to be asking this considering what you went through already. And I know based on instincts you wanted to avoid Misogi Kumagawa, a thought that while I sympathize with, I personally cannot do less I want more victims like yourself to pop up. Still, I’d like for you to cooperate with me and tell me as much as you know about Kumagawa, including maybe what sort of skill he has. And, to let me use your body long enough to completely heal you and remove the brainwashing from myself.” You bowed, trying your hardest to appeal to Aki. Causing the student president to blush from your politeness and thoughtful nature.

“...You’re unbelievable you know that Ms. Onizuka. Although you suffered far worse than me, heading directly into another confrontation with Misogi Kumagawa. Even though he’s the student body president now. Even though he has a powerful skill that regrettably even I can’t completely deduce given that I was in a brainwashed state. Even though...he’s the embodiment of the very worst in people. ..You’re still heading out. ...I can never do something so reckless-...foolishly brave.” Aki laments, turning her sight from you. Her memories of the incident were hazy but she was able to remember the entire confrontation now. And the very thought of going back to the same school as Kumagaawa terrifies her.

Seeing her fear at first hand, you merely place your hands against her, reassuring her with a warm smile. “It’s not like I’m not afraid either. Just yesterday I ended up breaking down after previously hyping myself up for the confrontation. I don’t think showing fear is a weakness nor a sin, it’s the body alerting yourself of the imminent danger to keep you from getting conceited and arrogant. But, what scares me more than my fear of Kumagawa...it’s the thought of leaving my friends behind to deal with such a person. I don’t want anyone, including strangers to ever go through the same experience that you and I have gone through. That’s why...I can do only what I can. Rather than choose to be fearless, I choose to fight with fear in order to become stronger. “

“..Usually not sensing or feeling fear is typically a reckless thing, something I’d expected a hot-blooded individual to answer. But to say you’ll fight with your fear intact, that’s simply insane. “ Aki pauses, looking down at your warm hands, closing her eyes with a smile. “But also...exceptionally courageous.”

“...Leaving you to handle this by yourself will make me unable to sleep peacefully in a long time.”

Blinking suddenly at Aki’s change of heart, you began to stumble in your trail of thought. “Really? Are you sure though? You don’t have to push yourself too hard though. I know from personal experience just how terrifying Misogi Kumagawa can be.”
>>
>>4031334

Aki merely shakes her head as she befuddles your concern. “I’m only doing what I can...And....it’s just...I feel something I never felt before having you inside of me. A strong radiance like no other. A complete opposite of Misogi Kumagawa. Your very presence is so bright and warm. Like I’m being showered by a gentle rain, melting away all of my pain and suffering, while washing away any and all insecurities and fears, before revealing a pure moon in the clear sky.”

“When I look into your eyes...I feel tranquil. Such kind, pure eyes looking down upon me...no it’s not looking down on me at all. ..You’re sympathizing withing me. Showing pure empathy like its the natural thing to do despite not knowing a thing about me, but knowing just how much I’m hurting.” Aki slowly opens her eyes, showing a rather regretful melancholy expression as she breaks into a bittersweet smile. “..I can’t compete with such wholesome compassion and kindness. It’s far too sweet…”

“..I originally thought such compassion was a weakness. That if you want to amount to anything you’ll have to be cold and ruthless. That if you want to bring change and tranquil stability, you have to dominate others, overwhelm them with power in order to get them to obey. And yet...how can someone be so kind and gentle yet carry so much strength?”

“To be honest, if it was me from just a month ago I would’ve told you that true strength comes from the heart. Mainly the aspect of yourself that believes in your strength and doesn’t run from a challenge. After all, there’s no such thing as painless lessons, as evidenced through the necessity of sacrifices. You can’t gain anything without losing something first. Although, if you can endure that pain and walk away, you’ll find that you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. And that’s what true strength comes from.“ You explain, slowly closing your eyes as you think back to all the events that lead to this point. A burning resonance echoes inside your heart, in this case, Aki’s as you feel your connection with 『The Beginning』 becoming that much stronger. A living reminder to what you accumulated and learned throughout your journey to gain what you lost most.

With a wide smile, you start to grip your chest tightly as the answer was coming straight from the heart. “But looking at it now, it’s only part of it but still not the whole truth. It’s also the people that we met, the things we saw, the pain we endured, the effort cumulated together, everything we ever experience, and the memories of everyone that comes together. Knowing all of that, we come to understand that we realize no one is an island. No one is truly self-sufficient. From the moment we are born, we rely on the help of everyone to live, and we continue to rely on the company and comfort of others in order to thrive. And those we think of most in our final moments as we take our path to the next stage. Death isn’t the end, only the beginning of another adventure.”

“Every decision that you make will affect the countless people who care about you. That’s why no human is ever a one-man-show. And that’s okay. We need such interactions between people and the importance and effect we have on the world despite how insignificant we are to the grand scheme to the overarching flow of the universe. Only be understanding that do we know the real value of empathy.”

“Empathy?” Aki asks, raising an eyebrow at the term, listening closely towards your explanation. She was slowly understanding what you were getting at but it’s only as you explain it does it really start to connect
>>
>>4031886

Silently nodding at Aki, you open your eyes halfway, feeling surrounded by the embodiment of all the people throughout your life. Aki would start to see countless people stand behind you as her eyes widen in response to such a massive crowd. “Therefore...I’m not strong by myself. I’m only so strong because I have others behind me. Supporting me through every step, coming to my aid when I need it, guide me down the path whenever I become lost, help me back up when I’m at my lowest point, and lighting up the way as I keep moving forward. It’s because of them that I’m able to realize what true strength is and cultivate that power to keep moving forward.”

Practically left speechless by the combination of all of your bonds representing your strength and your sweet, encouraging words. “...As I thought, you’re really incredible. Do you think you can lend me that strength?.”

“I’m sorry but I’m afraid I can’t fulfill that request. For you see, Power isn’t something that borrowed or given, only combined through the bonds you have with others. Only then can it result in manifesting true essence of strength, the very strength I was describing.” You explain, pointing your hand at your heart before pointing at Aki’s.


Looking down at her heart and seeing the equivalent of strength circulating in the air between the two of you, Aki starts to give a sincere smile on her face. Realizing first hand what she been missing most as it was something so simple. “Keikou Onizuka…would you become my first true friend?”

“Now look here...why would you ask that now?” You answer, blinking lightly as you fold your arms in response.

“..O-Oh. You’re right, how presumptuous of me, a complete stranger to ask something so ridiculous. ..I’m sorry-” Before she could apologize before reflecting on her foolishness, you take your hand out to Aki, surprising her with a wholesome exchange of words and a handshake.

“We already shared the same pain. That means we’re already friends!” You retort, using your other hand to flick Aki on her forehead, causing her to wince as you went back to offering your hand to her. “To be honest I’m a little hurt that you would even ask.”

Reduced to a crying fit, Aki happily takes your hand in this metaphorical exchange. Shaking it between the two of you to finalize the bond established.. “...I really can’t compete with you. Everything you do just defy any expectations.” As Aki says this she starts to feel the same kind of warmth as her heart starts to throb in response to your cheerful and warm smile.“..I think I’m starting to fall for you.” Aki chuckled, feeling like a washed-out mess, but never before did she ever feel quite refreshed than she was right now.
>>
>>4031900

Before you could comment on what Aki had just said, a loud ringing starts to echo inside your ears. Like a sudden message from your phone, above your head a series of pop up messages start to appear. The first message was titled 『Reverse of Fortune』, a skill that you previously have forgotten as it was now labeled completed and fully unlocked. How long has it been since you last recalled such a skill? Speaking of skills of the pasts, a sub-series of the 『The Beginning』known as 『Maestro』 was also carrying information, with the same notification exactly like 『Reverse of Fortune』. But the most noteworthy information in the awakening of more skills was the message 『Aero Biker』has evolved into 『Fresh Breath』, the Atmospheric Governing Skill. Judging from where the skill has originated, it seems to be Aki’s personal own skill. Naturally, you were left dwindled at this sudden predicament.

Was it due to sharing a body with Aki Jakago or has 『The Beginning』 evolved further as a result of your newfound strong bond between the former student council president? Here you stood directly unlocking and evolving a skill directly from Aki, but it seems that the blond princess now carries the very same evolved skill alongside her original. Whatever the cause, you felt your heart grow three sizes on this day, or would it be Aki’s. Either way, newfound strength starts to swell up inside, causing something else to swell by a few additional sizes.

As you find yourself sharing a moment with your new friend Aki, your eyes turn back to the patient’s bedroom. There was still one glaring issue that you been overlooking before Aki’s awakening from her two-week coma. That pink elephant induced issue being that your own body was currently still under the brainwashing effects of 『Error Message Plate』. Although it seems to not be doing anything except keeping you in perpetual slumber, it was still something worth getting rid of as soon as possible. To make matters worse was 『Playmaker』’s window of opportunity. You just obtained the skill and barely knew enough that it was a phantasm based antibody to other skills or abilities. You haven’t documented how long does the antibody-based duplication last or how many at a time it can develop. Does it even have such limits? All these and more were valid questions to ask for another time.

Nevertheless, you knew that you need to act on a moment’s notice. Less you want to spend even more unnecessary time fumbling inside of another person’s body. Sure, Aki most likely wouldn’t object considering what you have been doing for her so far. However, that doesn’t change the clearly awkward feelings you been festering about the entire endeavor. Especially now that the host of this feminine body was fully conscious and aware of your every action. Just how exactly does someone like Anshin’in managed to casually live inside of you for so long without being morally conflicted. Granted, she was forcibly sealed by the effects of 『Trans-Fiction』but on the other hand, she did choose to imprint the last of her power and entire existence into yourself. So clearly there must have been an important reason for that, or you could just be overthinking it. In any case, you finally step out of the bathroom, slowly walking over to your sleeping body.

“Let’s go...Steppenwolf.” You called, manifesting your anthropomorphic hellhound, dressed in rather blackish-red scarf, sleeveless midnight blue vest with a fashional dog hoodie, dark, studded, leather-like forearm-length gloves, mirrored in style by a garter belt-like band at its waist, chains around the side, and ankle-height footwear in addition to pieces of padded armor over the shoulders, arms, wrists, knees, and feet. The emblem of its belt and gloves having the symbol of Baphomet as well as the number of the beast of revelation.

>>4032817

Now hovering above you currently residing in Aki Jakago, it dangles its left musclebound claws just inches from your real body’s forehead. With careful yet deadly precision and accuracy, the phantasm lycanthrope begins to swiftly thrust its claws into the black joker playing card. Without causing alarm or alerting the holder of 『Error Message Plate』, Steppenwolf practices the art of patience as it slowly but steadily starts dismantling the card’s hold on your body. Basically making sure to avoid causing any backlash to your mind and body, it thoroughly hotwires the series of the network that governs the connection between mind, body, and soul. Through its hards work, it purges any and all ill-wanted effects in regards to 『Error Message Plate』.

Seeing it from an outside point of view, you take into account just how altered your physiology was due to housing Anshin’in’s soul inside your body. While currently stable, it was clear that portions of that cosmic energy have seeped itself inside every single cell in your body. Retaining a large portion of that energy has left you permanently changed. From what you can tell you were still you from top to bottom, not showing any noteworthy differences previously. Even so, there were still symptoms of showing signs of ending up with the same condition that Anshin’in carries, even if you didn’t show any exact similarities with Anshin, especially in sharing a similar mindset/personality. Still, compared to previously, it seems that the excess energy was subsided completely as if a noteworthy portion of it was shared upon a willing donator, sharing the power and lessening the overall stress.

Once Steppenwolf successfully completes its job and finished with reassuring you of any potential issues, it resides itself back into your soul, returning to dormancy. It’s last order, for now, was keeping the antibiotic setup it has towards『Error Message Plate』. Who knows when you’ll need such a remedy against its powerful mind-control and brainwashing ability. It might have been better to save its power on whatever skill Misogi Kumagawa has, but it was better to priorities what you do know rather than preparing for something you currently didn’t understand. That said, after returning to your soul, you start to feel a case of lethargy washing throughout your soul. Aki’s body starts to suddenly stumble, resulting in the host catching her mid-fall, clinching her chest as she feels herself panting up a storm.
>>
>>4032837

“Keikō?! Speak to me Keikō! Are you alright?” Aki cried, feeling the form of Diabolus Mode starting to fade away, returning her hair to its natural golden radiance. The transformation more than did its job as it alongside the shared cosmic energy and 『Mastero』drawing out two hundred percent of her full potential drastically gave way to a substantial boost in physical prowess and overall efficiency, very comparable to a current Medaka who was healthy which was impressive given Aki Jakago’s original status.

“...Don’t worry, just….just need to regather my strength, So...I know it’s sudden but can you go and carry my body out of here. “ You answer, taking a moment to catch your breath as you struggle with passing out. Pulling out skills after skill alongside repairing and further augmenting another’s body certainly taxed you a lot of your boundless stamina.

“..If you’re saying that you’re fine then I won’t press it any further. Right now, I’m in agreement with leaving the hospital.” Aki answers, kneeling over and starting to pick up your body in piggyback fashion. Luckily, both of your clothing was bagged in one of the office bags next to the holding containers. Taking the time to round up all of your stuff, Aki takes note of her surroundings.

“Don’t suppose you have any plans on getting out of here unnoticed?” Aki asks, turning to the window after having gotten everything together.

Thinking about it closely you rattle your half-awaked brain over the current predicament. As this took place, you softly request Aki to change your body out of its pajama clothing and back into the Suisou Academy uniform. To which she does so alongside herself. An endeavor that you forced yourself to endure by keeping quiet. She didn’t know all of your secrets and there would be far too much to properly explain to the oblivious princess archetype that would’ve most likely ended up enacting a tsundere’s rampage. That said, you weren’t sure if it was sleep depravity that was getting to you but you could swear that Aki has gotten...more developed. Not just in a more bountiful kind of way although it seems like it judging from this angle. But around her physique, she looks...far more athletic and well-toned, including being less...flabby. You knew your influence has sped up the recovery process and improved her but you didn’t think it was this much.

“Something wrong? You’ve been rather quiet actually Keikō.” Aki asks, finishing up changing out of her hospital attire and into her school uniform, only stopping at putting on her socks and shoes before going back to tending your body.

“...No, nothing at all.” You mutter, keeping your thoughts to yourself. Not sure how to explain to the former student body president how you essentially made her similar to your arranged fiance in more ways than one.

Choosing to change the subject and keep yourself from losing track of the matter in hand, you pull back the results of your long trail of thought with several possible ideas on a successful escape. “Anyway, I have several different skills that could help get us out of the hospital building without getting detected. However, most of them require expelling more energy than I already have. And...truth be told, I rather keep as much strength as I have possible until I can recover properly. It’s the only reason why I haven’t left your body and returned to my own.”

“What about using one of your skills inside my body? Surely you can take from my stamina instead right?” Aki asks, in between changing your clothing and respectfully putting you back into uniform. The look on her face shows she was rather...envious with your build. Ironic considering she wasn’t that far off originally and now she was almost identical due to your influence.
>>
>>4033494

“There’s still a fee from my own reserves I have to use even with your body. All it’ll be doing is lessening the cost greatly. Also, I’msamaritannot exactly...confident with my current state to be able to regulate both your energy output and the skill in question.” You lament, admitting that all the strenuous activities with these new skills have drained you far more than using skills you have more practice on. A possible downside to 『The Beginning』as no matter how well-versed you are in knowing what a skill can do, it doesn’t change the effect that actually using it effectively takes good old elbow grease inducing hard work and perseverance.

Pausing for a moment, Aki thinks about her own method as she finishes playing dress-up with your unconscious body. Leaving just the pajamas as she transitions into writing a note for the medical staff about their leave. “..The only skill I have is 『Aero Biker』, a skill that controls over oxygen.”

“A skill to control over oxygen that’s perfect Aki! We can use that power to fly.” You were practically mentally jumping for joy as this was quite an advantageous situation for the two of you. As someone who often gets called a good samaritan, you didn’t really take the time to use 『Anaysis』to look up what kind of skills the former student council president carries, much less read her personal memories. Even if you didn’t admit it, you were quite the innocent and wholesome teenage boy.

“...Fly? What do you mean by that?” Aki asks, blinking a bit as she turns briefly before going back to finish writing her longwinded letter.

“Yes Fly. You do know-how to circulate the oxygen around you thus creating an updraft current to ride upon and fly right?” You ask, raising an eyebrow as you start to get vividly worried about Aki, perhaps overestimating her abilities.

“..I see. So it can do that after all....” Aki mutters, making a smiling poker face to hide the fact she never tried experimenting with her power in such a manner. You were starting to get the feeling that Aki Jakago usually didn’t have to fight directly or lift a finger given her power and thus never really push herself to master it to such extent.

“Of course oxygen can do that! Just manipulate its impurities and you can fly or at the worst walk on the air or achieve gliding. Hell, I’m not even telling you to go through the scientific process of combining oxygen and nitrogen alongside other elements like water vapor and argon to make air, although just getting by on nitrogen and oxygen should be more than enough. “ You explain.
>>
>>4033511

“..Well I just happened to never need such a thing. Whoever heard of using oxygen to fly? That’s a little farfetched then say using it as an ink brush on a canvas and just changing the shade of oxygen to trigger symptoms like oxygen shortage, Hyperpnoea or even oxygen poisoning.” Aki whistles, turning her head from your staring gaze as you were now highly skeptical of your new friend’s talents.

“Oxygen can do more than just suffocate people! It can create pressures of enormous proportions, concentrated blasts of oxygen, the wall of pressurized oxygen to block off attacks and counterattack through oxygen solidification, oxygen-based constructs, sensing techniques like cloud reading or air current sensing, speaking of air currents they’re capable of large destruction, as well as, creating an oxidized flame through concentrating the oxygen from the atmosphere, igniting oxygen to induce explosive combustion! Generating sparks to trigger plasmic forces such as electricity, phreatic explosions via liquid oxygen, there’s so much that you can do with oxygen alone that’s ridiculous! How do you not know any of this?!” As you explained, your spirit starts to tower over the shrinking Aki, practically lecturing her on her inability to look at the bigger picture and doing more than just getting by with only controlling people.

“O-Of course I know all of that. I’m not an idiot. I just happen to use my powers far more subtly than depriving such things you’d only find in a shonen manga or scientific battle series like Toaru. “ Aki argues, trying to defend herself and hide her shortcomings as she awkwardly laughs at such unrealistic thoughts, even in standard princess styled laughing.

“...Aki. We live in a world where possession is possible. Out of all the possible things you saw in your life in the week that Kumagawa came to the academy...surely you have come to realize that this world is no different than those shonen or battle harems you scoff right.” Hearing those words coming directly from your mouth started to pierce through the haughty princess’s defense like sharp daggers, lunged deep in her chest. As a result, Aki started to shrink even further in shame. “...so what do you know?”

“Well, I know all about Oxidation, Deoxygenation, corrosion inducement and symptoms like poison generation and blindless inducing through oxygen. I know just about every kind of means there is to control others through Oxygen.” Aki mutters, reduce to reflecting on her incompetence as you begin to understand the true value of skills. Having powerful skills but not the mindset to make them live up to their full potential is truly a frightening yet common occurrence.
>>
>>4033536

“...Aki. We may be only friends for a few hours, and please don’t take it the wrong way. But...I’m starting to lose faith in how you priorities your intelligence, specifically book smarts. “ You muttered, letting out a sigh of disappointment as you look at the shameful princess with empty, sad eyes.


With that last blow straight to her heart, Aki Jakago starts to breakdown into a fit of tears. Never in her life has she ever been stripped down mentally and berated in such an honest critique and lecture by someone who knew her powers better than herself in just a few hours. As a result, Aki started to slam her balled-up fists against your spirt, resulting in you tilting your head in contrite for bullying an otherwise damaged princess with your expectations. She was too much in a crying fit to spell out any coherent words, much less continue having a conversation. But knowing your strong sense of empathy, you didn’t need to understand her speech to know what she was trying to say. You only closed your eyes, scratching the side of your face as the guilt overseeing such a sorry sight of a useless princess made you feel all the more shameful. And you have the right to call yourself a man.

“Okay, Whatever...I’m sorry for bullying you. Please stop crying.” You spoke, giving off a sincere yet monotone apology. Going as far to pet Aki’s head as she was now reduced to sniffling as she wipes the tears from her eyes. As you console the haughty princess, your eyes start to notice a note above her head. On your line of vision, there was an additional booklet of information around her persona skill. “...Wait what’s this….”

Taking a closer look you start to notice there was another skill in addition, much to your surprise. Looking briefly at Aki, you took knowing for a fact she wasn’t the type to lie about her skill, not when she took so much pride in doing something so...petty with it. “Um...Aki.”

“..Yeah, what is it?” Aki sniffles, it was clear she was still upset with your harsh words.

“You actually have one more skill besides 『Aero Biker』. It’s called 『Fresh Breath』apparently.”

“You must be seeing things. I only ever had one skill. There’s no way that I can have….another skill.” Aki paused, looking at herself as she notices that her prized skill 『Aero Biker』indeed has evolved into the new skill. Respectfully she gave a rather shocked expression, her perception of what she understood about herself starting to crumble.
>>
>>4033555

“Actually that might be my fault that your skill has evolved into 『Fresh Breath』. See the skill that grants me to obtain skills based on my connections like bonds is called 『The Beginning』. But it doesn’t just stop there, somehow I can improve on these existing skills, unlocking new applications and possibilities, including evolving them into new skills altogether.”

“Hmph! Sound like you got a pretty useful skill yourself. It’s only fitting such an egghead like yourself would have a multi-purpose versatile skill like that.” Aki pouted, giving you the same look that you previously gave the princess, resulting in you shrinking down in shame. “So if its a skill that can evolve skills then what? You’re going to tell me that I control the very atmosphere or something.”

As Aki poke fun at the ludicrous notion of ruling the skies, your eyes start to widen as you open the document. Finding out that Aki was precisely on the mark as you find yourself praising the former student council president. “The atmosphere! That’s it, Aki! You’re quite perceptive like a genius after all.”

Forming an anger mark on the back of her head, Aki remains ever-skeptical as she stares at you. “Jee thanks. I know you’re trying to make me feel better but could you come up with a more believable lie?”

“Listen to me, if 『Aero Biker』 can manipulate the movement of oxygen and the oxidation process, then 『Fresh Breath』has sovereignty over the atmosphere and that includes controlling and manipulating the weather. Even if it’s only near-complete control over the domain, that’s still a highly versatile if not also exceptionally powerful skill. You’re no different than Nami with her Sorcery Clima-tech or Weather Report with his Stand...Weather Report.“

“Me controlling the atmosphere and manipulating the weather?! Come on Keikou! That’s simply ridiculous, not to mention highly impossible for someone like me. ..I couldn’t even use 『Aero Biker』 to its full potential. What makes you think I can pull off something like that?” Aki laments, reminding you first hand that she now lacked that once overconfidence that made her quite the egocentric student body president.

Sensing her melancholy and grief, you begin to take a page in bancho 101 as you manifest your spirit into a cheer squad for Aki. “Have an open mind Aki! You need a strong yet flexible mind to truly tame the boundless sky, therefore you can’t be closed-minded or hesitant. Don’t worry! I have faith in your potential Aki.”
>>
>>4033585

Hearing you say such uplifting and kind words trigger a deep shade of blush on Aki’s face. Slapping her cheeks together she tries to get herself back into order. “...Well if you’re willing to put your faith in my skills and believe in this abnormality. Then as the true student council presents, it’s only natural that I live up to your expectations.” Aki mentions, trying to take a haughty princess-like pose as she rouses herself to make her friend’s hopes and wishes become a reality. Responding to her will, the skill 『Fresh Breath』 starts to resonate, causing a large gust of wind to start manifesting itself around Aki’s ankles. Noticing this first hand, Aki gathers your body alongside both bags as she opens the window with her free hand.

“..Hold on tight. We’re about to take off!” With that Aki took one more deep breath, mustering as much confidence and courage as she can before jumping out the window. Jumping from the third stories left Aki panicking up a storm as the two of you descend at a quick pace. Only midway of catching herself did the two of you start to shoot upwards into the sky like a rising bird. To your delight, it seems that Aki was quickly gaining the hang out of her new skill as evidence by her consistently traveling through the air via jet propulsion underneath her feat. Commanding the atmosphere and bending the air currents to such an extent was a new experience after all.

“Amazing job Aki. We’re flying in the air~ Okay, we’re actually sky walking but baby steps. We’ll actually get flying down in no time.” You retort, remembering to compliment Aki on her efforts as the two of you was now high into the sky.

“Be quiet Keikou, it’s not something I can pick up on the fly. It’s taking all my concertation getting this down….but…” Aki pauses, closing her eyes for a second as she begins to follow your advice of having an open mind and a strong heart. Almost responding to her will, a pair of beautiful silvery wings of angelic descend starts to manifest as she takes another breath. “...right now, I feel like I finally stepped out of a stuffy cage. And putting those rusty wings of mind to good use.” Aki smiles widely, taking another step as she begins to properly transition into true flight.

Before either of you realized it, the developing air current manifests a dense enough updraft, pushing the both of you high into the sky. Barely either of you was within eye’s view as given Aki’s graceful movements kept changing the pattern and rhythm of her motions erratically. So to the outside view, it would be like staring at a blurring speck of silvery light across the sky. Most would only assume that it was a flashing light coming from the sun, unaware of the cause being the advanced speed and maneuverability of the enhanced Aki Jakago. As she glides through the air in her very own slipstream, it left quite a strange impression for you. To you, it looks less than she was gliding and more like she was swimming through space to achieve this flying like phenomena, skimming over the high waves that were present within the atmosphere Although this was just her first time, Aki was adapting impressively to her predicament.

Perhaps it was just like what she said, no longer being weighed down by the chains of her previous sense of self and being the egotistical student body president has granted her newfound freedom along with the new perspective that she was longing for the longest time. Either way, this left you enough time to recover just enough of your strength. Thus, you no longer needed to remain stationed inside of Aki’s body any longer. The possibility of you passing out upon returning to your body was non-existent. Besides, there was no need for you to govern Aki’s fluctuating air currents as she was already showing enough natural-born skills to handle it on her own. Even in its evolved state, it was still the original skill that she was born with, so it wasn’t all that surprising. In any case, you quietly leave Aki’s body, removing your presence altogether as it circulates back to your original body.

Slowly opening your eyes briefly change them to their original sapphire blue hue. Subtly the blue shade flickers back to the amber shade matching your auburn brown hair. Nonetheless, you start to briefly blink to adjust your eyes, feeling the quick sensation that your movements were sluggish as your body was showing lethargic signs akin to jet lag was kicking in. Like a cat’s body temperature dropping rapidly from being wet, the high altitudes was causing you to feel a bit light-headed. Resulting in your body pushing itself to achieve better oxygenation, enlarging the lung volumes as instinctively you change your means of breathing to better adapt. Enhancing the respiratory rate was having a positive effect on the body. In just a single moment, your body suddenly sustained an increase in cerebral blood flow, lower hemoglobin concentration, and less susceptibility to chronic motion sickness, all thanks to the immediate effects of acclimatization.
>>
>>4035854

You feel rather grateful that as apart of your training your mother took you up mountainous areas such as Mount Fuji for training in your youth. As it only took a short while of being at high attitude for the long-term effects of acclimatization obtained via training to reawaken. Now feeling like you can keep your attention without inducing a headache, you gently clamp your legs against Aki’s slender waist, anchoring your knees against the wide hips to keep yourself from falling. Doing this gave you the safety net to unhook your arms, maintaining a sense of security that’ll keep you in place long enough to reach for your smartphone. Not noticing your movements, Aki meanwhile continued to focus solely on keeping the two of you airborne and reducing the amount of air pressure that’ll brush against you as apart of the air resistance.

Dialing on your smartphone you make a quick call to Hansode. Putting the phone on to your left ear, a ringtone quickly broke the impendent silence from waiting a good minute for a response. To your delight, you hear someone picking up the phone as you establish a call. From the sounds of the receiver, it was, in fact, your best friend. After how you were acting previously it was natural that you needed to convince her that the one who was speaking to her was the real deal, Kenichi Hakumasa and not that drunk marionette that Saki made yourself out to during her brainwashing act.

“Sode it’s me, Kenchan! I have been trying to get in contact with you for a long time! Are you okay! How did the meeting go! I swear if Kumagawa did anything” You rambled on, much to Aki’s surprise, finally noticing that you were no longer limp and requiring her to use an extra veil of air current to keep your body close like an invisible harness.

Hearing your voice revere to her by her nickname instead of her fake name gave Hansode the reassurance that she was talking was indeed her best friend and not the drunken mess from before. “I’m fine, I’m fine. No need to lose your cool and go all Rambo on me. Just take deep breaths. You’re being hysterical right now. Also, you sound high up so it’s a bit hard to understand what you’re trying to say.” Hansode retort, pointing out the fact that you were currently dozens of feet in the air traveling through the city in secret.

“Sorry, I’m just really worried about you. The last thing I recalled was being hit with one of Kumagawa’s screws before running the risk of passing out. I had to use 『Model Student』 to keep myself conscious enough to use『My Wonderland』 and alter the effects of the screw embedded inside of me to a non-harmful effect. Then, I had to pretend to be unconscious but that only made the unfortunate victim of Saki’s skill 『Error Message Plate』. It’s a very dangerous skill that can control people, the more you try and resist it or try to be in control, the more effective it is in brainwashing you into an oblivious puppet. ”
>>
>>4035909

“So that’s why you sounded like a drunken harlot after a long night of partying and call dancing in a nightclub. I didn’t point it out loud considering you weren’t talking in our respective code, so I knew deep down that you were in trouble. But if I showed any signs of it, then I knew either Kumagawa or Sukinasaki would pick up on that clue. And that’ll only cause further suspicion of me.” Hansode retort, speaking in a way that reassures you that you were talking to the real deal. As who else but Hansode would be so brutally blunt about how you were acting along with poking fun of your well-endowed hourglass figure.

“..I’m going to let that harlot comment go and just glad that you’re you and not some fake trying to deceive me.” You smile wildly, almost shedding a tear as you have a happy reunion with Hansode. Quickly you explain your situation with Hansode, leaving very little if anything out of the longwinded explanation. All the meanwhile you were already activating 『Model Student』 and『My Wonderland』 in conjunction to produce an abnormal effect akin to aerodynamic enhancements, improving Aki’s performance and keeping her from worrying about you being distracted over having a conversation high in the sky.

“Well considering what you told me so far, it’s no wonder why you were so worried about me. I’m flattered but unlike my best friend, I have quite the experience of talking with all kinds of people. So lucky for me I didn’t invoke getting a screwed slammed into my body without my notice. That said, it did felt like Kumagawa was observing my every movement, looking for some sort of weak sport to take advantage of.” Hansode explains, confirming your suspicion that Kumgawa was in fact doing his own examination of potential skill users. As for what reason why he was doing it, you weren’t sure, but according to Aki, it was to defeat Anshin’in. The reason why currently alludes to both of you.

“That’s good. You’re not the type to get into fights, so I wasn’t sure if your evasion skills would be enough to avoid getting a hit from your blindspot by Kumagawa. Anyway, meet me back at the dummy house and we’ll talk more about Kumagawa’s intentions with Aki.”

“That’s fine with me. But it’ll be after school since this is currently the fifth period.” Hanosde nods, agreeing to the little meetup between the two of you. Seeing that you weren’t going to have anything else to do until then, you start to look back at Aki after finishing your call with Hansode.

“So I take it you got a plan for what our next course of action is?” Aki asks, having already put enough distance between the hospital and the route towards your current living quarters.
>>
>>4036012

“Yes, we’re going to be rendezvous at my house to discuss.” You answer, putting the smartphone back into your pockets before resuming keeping your hands against Aki’s shoulders. “Was there any place you can stay until the meeting time?”

“Well, I can’t clearly go back home. Even though my parents are working overseas and left me to handle my own endeavors in between sending me a daily allowance, I don’t feel safe returning home especially after leaving the hospital. So for now, it looks like I’ll be crashing at your place. It is a knight’s duty to protect the princess in her time of need.”

“...Really seeing me as some chivalrous knight now eh?” You mutter, turning your head as Aki merely blinks in response, unaware of the truth. Letting out a small sigh, you quickly form a reassuring smile. “Errm it’s nothing. Anyway, I’m fine with you staying at my place for the time being. It’ll make me unable to sleep at night if I force you to go back home unattended.”

“Great, then it’s settled.” Aki smiles, taking one more big step as the two of you to travel into high gear into the distance.

Eventually, after roughly flying for a good thirty minutes, the two of you finally reached your two stories old Gasshou styled Minka house. Compare to the enrichingly wealthy lifestyle of an aristocrat family, with the father being CEO of a mysterious yet highly profitable technological company affiliated with the Japanese government and Japan Self Defense Forces and mother who is a notorious tycoon of a multi-billion dollar amusement park and resort called Jumpland [loosely based on Tokyo Disneyland], its only to be expected that Aki would normally be appalled at being forced to live in such a run of the mile shrine-like house. However, Aki was showing a more charming expression, almost relishing over the vintage appeal this traditionalist style house carries. At the very least you didn’t have to worry about putting up with a spoiled brat. Bad enough that you owe Hansode a lot for getting you this home from away from home.

But that was concerns to worry about for later as the two of you descend downwards from the sky. Luckily nobody was around to see you being princess style carried by Aki, a rather opposite flip on both of your social status. Nevertheless, you plop your feet to the ground, stretching your limbs in a quick exercise fit. Being occupied in someone else’s body even only for nearly half the day made you feel rather stiff from your long flight. Aki, on the other hand, was currently leaning against the wall catching her breath. Unsurprisingly Aki was left winded at her first usage of her evolved skill, but she was far less tired than she thought she’d be. You couldn’t bring yourself to tell the pampered princess that you were the cause for her sudden boundless vitality and athletic improvement.
>>
>>4036053

“Right, so we got some time to kill, so let’s get to work improving your skills with 『Aero Biker』 and especially 『Fresh Breath』. The former’s governance with oxygen gives for the subtle, micro side and the latter’s atmosphere manipulation for the flashy, macro side makes for a perfect combo. So we should get them both down so that switching between the two will be instantaneous and second nature. Don’t want to be like Shoto Todoroki now don’t you?” You ask, continuing your rather acrobatic display of fitness. Aki meanwhile has her eyes glued to the sight, deeply embarrassed at your workout putting her to shame as she finds her incapable of looking away.

Stumbling a bit out of watching your rather impressive display of flexibility and fluidity, Aki comes back from having her heads in the cloud and quickly smack her cheeks to hide her blush. “W-What’s the rush? I thought you would want to relax a bit after spending the morning farming skills and trying to get your body back.”

“Nonsense, having my body being controlled by someone else made me all the more pumped to burn lead and get to work cracking all those skills. If there’s one thing I learned from amassing so many skills in such a short time is to not let yourself become conceited nor settle with just the basics. Experiment every possible combination or trick the skill can produce, and if there’s no more then go even further. “

“...I get the feeling that I stumbled into the overly zealous Yamato Damashii type for a new friend. “ Aki mutters, having a rather gloomy look on her face as for the first time in her life she was actually going to have to do something she never once considered. Training.

I'm thinking we focus entirely on Aki since she had poor usage of her original skill and now has to deal with having a whole new one. I don't want to take the time away from training her by working on our own skills.

Sparring I'm not even sure if it'll be worthwhile, her abilities can get to insta-kill tier pretty damn easily. Utility and general limits is what needs to be really tested. Can she actually manipulate the weather, for instance...

As Aki stares gloomily at the ground in a self-defeating smile, you, on the other hand, continue with your straightforward and exhilarating stretching exercises in hotblooded fashion. To outside view, it was rather impressive just how malleable your body was given your series of contortion stunts. Now due to your mother’s unconventional means of training, it left you with a physique that was exceptionally fluid and flexible as you were tremendously sturdy and vigorous. A feat that seems to pass itself in a near-perfect transition into your womanly form. To you, it was negligible at best but the gender gap between males and females was virtually non-existent for you. The only thing the two forms for you have is reach and flexibility. Things like fine motor control, pliability, agility both in speed and reaction/thinking time, fare better in this current form than in your original body. However, the gain was negligible given your versatile combat style and well-versed training turning you into a very balanced martial artist. The same can be said in your physical strength, endurance, and durability thanks to factors such as a greater lung and heart capacity.


Resulting in a highly supple but equally resilient combatant, thus creating a nimble powerhouse in every element, essentially lightning bruiser. Even concepts such as a male having better performances with upper body and a female with the lower body were again negligible for you in either form. Once again the byproduct of your mother’s thorough training regiments and exercise. Not that you can complain when those impressive physical and mental prowess reach superhuman levels thanks to such conditioning. But with your versatile combat style, it was only natural that it produce a warrior who is strong in virtually every aspect of the battle, both mentally and physically, with limited weaknesses. Having a discernible advantage in exchange for practically perfectly balanced and equal performance was a well worthwhile sacrifice.

For Aki however, you merely appear like some of world-class circus performer or yoga master when given your abnormal levels of flexibility, equilibria, and coordination. Seeing such an unusual means of lithy made Aki imagine staring the eye of an acrobatic ballerina mixed with mischievous harlequin. Her understanding of the human body was thrown out the window considering the various limber feet that by all accounts shouldn’t be physically possible. Staring at what was essentially a sentient marionette doll freely controlling her body with the same fluidity as water left the haughty princess feeling a constant state of shame and embarrassment. In comparison, she could barely do the daily exercise regiments and routines in gym class with a passing grade, B- on her best day. It was clear she was more of a strategist than a fighter.
>>
>>4039844

“So what’s your secret to being so strong, flexible, agile, dexterous and coordinated? Another one of those skills of yours or was you actually born double-jointed. Having something like that would make unusual performances Chinese contortionism or some other dexterous and fluid art like pilates, cheerleading, aerobics, yoga. arabic dance, gymnastics, acrobatics tricking, breakdancing, free running, parkour, etc.” Aki remarks, dropping to her knees after seeing you flawlessly transitioning from a back-bending chest stand into a middle oversplit.

Turning your head back to look at Aki, arms stretching out while continuing to maintain the oversplit effortlessly, your eyes briefly blink in confusion. “Hmm, I wouldn’t say I’m double-jointed despite the fact I have trained in everything you mentioned and developed kinesthetic sensing. And It’s not a skill that made me like this, just good old elbow grease. Anyway, aside from my mom, I don’t think I ever met such a person who can prove such impossible claims as highly probable. If anything I’m closer to having hypermobility syndrome.”

“Hypermobility syndrome?” Aki asks, tilting her head as she avoids staring at the closest example to the missing link between man and simians like monkeys and the bigger, burly apes.

“Yeah. It’s a condition that allows them to move a bone within a joint to its fullest capability, but without experiencing the pain and discomfort that the average person experiences when extending a joint beyond its normal range. What makes a person seem double-jointed can actually have more to do with the soft tissue that's near the joints than the actual joints themselves. Most joints are wrapped in ligaments, which connect bone to bone, and tendons, which connect muscle to bone. Everyone's joints have the same range of motion, but the flexibility of a person's ligaments and tendons determines a person's ability to, say, flex at the hips in order to touch their toes.” You explain in between continuing different gymnastics and another acrobatics stunt to serve as a living example. Helpful as it was, it only made Aki feel all the more embarrassed if not suffering an ignominious defeat.

“I get it! You don’t have to actually show me the process. Jeez, a superhuman body in addition to having a wide assortment of skills. You might as well be superwoman or some other form of a one-woman army.” Aki yells, waving her arms in futility at trying to get you to stop.
>>
>>4039846

Transitioning into a handstand and soon balancing on your index fingers, you continue to split your legs apart, moving them in wild motion as it seems even without 『Model Student』 you profess a remarkable amount of self-control over the human body. “Actually that’s more close to my older sister Mirai given her musculoskeletal hypertrophy and hypermetabolism. Though she’s more of a blitzkrieg than a mere army. You’d be surprised that she has to eat as much as a team of sumo wrestlers to maintain her ogre-like physiology and monstrously ludicrous attributes. Of course, you can’t actually tell that her density, fluidity and special body composition is about a dozen times that of a regular person given how deceptively slender her curvaceous body is. Course she’s rather self-conscious about her weight, just like my mother when talking about her true form. Being something too bulky and macho despite both having incredible flexibility and nimble reflexes, maybe it’s a feminine thing cause I don’t see such downsides to being so strong.” You mutter, using your free hand to stroke your chin in thought. Aki reasonable was shutting her mind off after hearing such a vivid description of your family life. Her imagination left her seeing something that she shouldn’t as you notice her zooming out.

“Oh, where are my manners. I shouldn’t be distracting myself with such trivial matters. What’s the main issue is working on improving you into an all-new Aki Jakago.” With a charismatic smile, you push yourself high into the air with just your finger muscles. Spinning into place, you deliver a rather graceful if not cool landing poses as the wind blows your hair into the proper place. Once again Aki was left speechless but unlike previously she brought herself to merely clapping at your performance.

“There you go saying that again. Don’t you think that you’re perhaps overestimating my potential? Compared to the people you know, I’m woefully inferior by comparison.” Aki says, lamented with a sigh as understandably she was feeling quite inferior to the fairy tall harlequin of valor in front of her.

“You have not one but two all purposed skills that are very broad and flexible in utility and efficiency. To be honest, I don’t think I can ever oversell your skills and boundless potential. But that’s only based on a hypothesis. We need to see just how much utility and general limits those skills possessed since that’s what needs to be really tested. But don’t sweat, even if it’s only a fraction of what I listed, it’ll still be extraordinary and breathtaking. No pun intended.” You smile, closing your eyes in awkward shutter at making a well-timed joke given Aki’s skills.

“..Keikō.” Aki pauses, feeling her heart throbbing rather abruptly in response to your kind, uplifting words.

“Alright, that’s enough stretches for one day. Don’t want to get too limber now and be stuck with wobbly limbs. I don’t have elasticity like the Gum-Gum Fruit so it’s not like I can recoil my limbs and snap them back into place in a flash.”

“As such a thing is even possible. You make people drop their spaghetti just by being their presence, myself included.” Aki carelessly whispers, tilting her head to hide her blushing as she nonchalantly points out your knack at sounding cheesy like a shonen protagonist while being just as wholesome with your refreshing levels of empathy.

“Hmm? Did you say something Aki?” You ask, strangely missing the self-inflicted rant coming from the once suave princess.

“Oh nothing, I’m just really excited about training…” Aki studders, resuming to having an uplifting smile as she waves her hands to distract you from reading on her mood. Only after seeing you brush it off did she lets out a half-content smile. “...Rather do anything that humor this menagerie any further.”

Looking closely at your surroundings, your autumn eyes glance back to Aki, finally taking into account just how unprepared she was for a good long run session of training. “Sounds good. But since we’re doing it in the middle of the backyard, I think a change of clothing should be for the best. I know a person who has no shred of modesty and her sense of humility can also be questioned especially compared to normal people. But even so, it would be rather foolish of me to think of you being anywhere near to her level just cause you’re labeled an abnormal. Everyone although different are still humans in the end.“

“Hold on. I’m sorry for bringing this up but could you elaborate on what you mean? Cause it almost sounds like that you don’t register the concept of abnormals when choosing how to treat them.” Aki asks, blinking in confusion at how casual you can be about the matter.

“Well, why shouldn’t I think of you as anything else other than a human being? I mean just cause you got some amazing skills and talents doesn’t make you any more or less different than anyone else. Everyone is special in their way, while at the same time everyone isn’t special and that’s okay. If life was based around that we’ll all just become egocentric, believing that we’re the main characters in some unfolding story rather than regular human beings with limitation. After all, the real world isn’t superficial like fiction.” You point out, lifting your index finger to the sky while having the most straight face a person can have.
>>
>>4039861


Staring at you with a look of skepticism, Aki bundles her legs against her chest and huddled in a defensive stance. It was clear that she was still adjusting to the fact that her perfect world has up and shattered and the realization that she was just a mere puppet has again done a serious number to her confidence, if not her sense of reality. “Must be nice living life in the sublime philosophy like Edmund Burke and use those spiritual and mental capabilities to keep your ego in check and not think you’re anything special, much less the center of the universe.”

“You think so? Well, I wasn’t born with anything special, and being surrounded by extraordinary people and experiencing labor every single day keeps me grounded. It makes me constantly aware of my strengths and weakness as well as understand just how much value everything has. If I didn’t have such a eureka moment, I’d probably end up being jealous of all the extraordinary people and continue to prove my own value through beating them, thus validating my existence. But that wouldn’t make me feel happy or fulfilled. It’ll be no different than people who believe their inherent ability, skill or talent makes them inherently better than others, therefore deserving of special treatment. Both kinds of thinking only leave one deeply unsatisfied no matter how much power, status or validation in their achievements and endeavors they rake up. “ You explain, taking a page from your personal wisdom while speaking in a manner a mother would to their child.

Now completely caught off by your wise words, Aki tilts her eyes upwards, staring at you intently with sharp, golden eyes. “..Keikō Onizuka. Just who on earth are you?”

“..Who am I? That’s a silly question, Aki. I’m just the run of the mill average high school student who just happens to be a former ban-sukeban.” You paused briefly, catching yourself from complicating things further by revealing your true identity. It was better, for now, to take things slow and not reveal you’re true self just out of keeping Aki from being in further danger. Having her here at all was pushing it. “Anyway, if nobody is special, then it just means you have the chance to be whoever you want to be. You just got to have the courage to move forward. No matter how many times you fail or run into setbacks, it’s never the end. But that doesn’t mean you can’t just run away and try again or something else at a later date.”

“Anyway, we spent enough time talking. As my mentor once told me, if you got time to chat then you got a body to fine-tuned through hot blooded training.” With a slick of the wrist, you speed blitz through Aki, standing rather ominously behind her.

The strong gust of wind was enough to force her to close her eyes, instinctively reaching down to cover herself. Unlike you, she didn’t have spats underneath her school uniform to cover herself up. And as a woman of the elegant aristocracy, she would positively die if she has her lace undergarments revealed to the world. However, as she touches her clothing, she will feel something completely off. In place of her Suisou Academy uniform was a dark blue Cheongsam top with attachable sleeves, a white lotus with koi decoration patterns on the attire with red outlines on the collar and the lines of the buttons, as well as silver linings with blue outlines at the center of her loose button shirt. At the back, it is long, ankle-length and with silvery-white designs down the edges, while the interior of it is blue. Underneath the Cheongsam was Chinese style high-waisted leggings, having the style of hakuma pants but the comfort and form-fitting support of actual tights. The white leggings with silver line designs from her right leg and her left thigh and blue flats with white outlines. Lastly around her hands were single black mid-arm fingerless gloves, completing the martial arts attire.

“W-When did you have time to concoct something like this?! ...And to do it without my notice too…” Aki asks, taking a moment to look at herself from all direction, noticing even her hair was styled to be more efficient in what would otherwise be a long training session. As her eyes darts around, she would merely see you holding her school uniform in one hand, and a series of different string and needles on the other hand. A few of which was being held by your teeth in a cheeky grin.

“Well, I just happened to be good at the hidden weapon technique alongside 『Mother’s Task』. So I used the sewing techniques out of the assortment of womanly, motherly and children raising skills that pushed me to be an unparalleled master in superhuman levels to knit you a more proper outfit. “ You casually explain, putting the uniform into a stylish bag you had the spare time in knitting that.

“...Okay, that makes sense. But where exactly did you get the material to pull that off? I can’t believe that a merely hidden weapon trick can have you smuggle so many things around you without causing problems.” Aki points out, dumbfounded at the magic trick that was happening around her.
>>
>>4039874

In retrospect, she pretty much did have a point in where did the materials came from. Not once you thought about it as you figured it was just another trick to 『Mother’s Task』 as being always prepared was a fortunate skill any mother should have. But thinking about it closely it was clear there was another cause, something that you were using subconsciously alongside the hidden weapon trick. As you think about what you learned from Maguro during your training, something starts to appear in your line of view. Briefly, the imagery of your best friend Hansode pops into memory as her means of pulling out of things out of nowhere and her voracious appetite floods your mind. Upon blinking did something in its place appeared as it was another popup sheet. Above the sheet, it was tittle『Black Holedout』, the hammerspace and devouring aspect skill. Quickly you dart your eyes through the sheet as it essentially bowls the properties and characteristic of a black hole with the concept of hammerspace.

In layman's terms, it allows one to eat any substance without harmful effects, regardless of what they consume. They can consume matter in any form, be it solid, liquid, gas or even plasma. As well as the secondary effect of storing it a bottomless void to be utilized at another date in perfect condition. Essentially turning the stock shonen protagonist abnormal eating habits into an infinite digestive system and a literal black hole for the bottomless stomach and iron gut syndrome. Combined with the overly convenience of being a walking dimensional hidden armory and pulling out what one needs at a moment’s notice, it seems a rather unorthodox yet highly useful skill. As you look deeper into the skill, there was a disclaimer. From the note, it seems that this skill was actually a byproduct of 『Mother’s Task』 and 『Bablyon Book』’s storage capabilities. Therefore, the two skills of having a similar sub-skill lead to its manifestation despite not directly drawing it with 『The Beginning』.

“..Well, well would you look at that? I guess I do have another skill that even I didn’t know ahahahahaha...ehehe.” You laugh, brushing off the concern of developing skills as you briefly explain the skill to Aki

Putting aside the absurdity that was in front of her, Aki just shrugs her shoulders and commit to the training at hand. At first, you merely told Aki to do some slight bending of the elements to start things slow. To which she ends up doing just that as you see Aki bending the atmosphere in subtle ways such as bending clouds, forming wind and making various gases. As Aki was doing this, you took it upon yourself to do something about your appearance. Choosing to better commit to the role of a charismatic and influential mentor, you invoke the power of 『My Wonderland』, effectively changing yourself into the role needed to properly handle 『Mother’s Task』 and 『Analysis』. Through vivid dexterity, your physical form changed completely to match a proper representative of these two high-specs mental skills with little to no stress while fully optimizing their potency.

From out the shadows of an otherwise sublime magical girl transformation hidden by a vividly massive volley of threads stood a rather very tall woman of a lithe yet voluptuous frame and at the same time, being exceptionally well-built despite her slenderness. Ravishing silk-like auburn hair currently tied in a half-up-half-down bun, with a small clump of short bangs dangling down around the shoulder area. With sharp, intelligent amber eyes, and a sharp yet smooth facial structure gave the mature young woman a rather beautiful yet tough demeanor. Fair-skinned, full lips, rosy cheeks, and long eyelashes, there was a strong alluring charm, further improving that swan-like collarbone and broad shoulders. With a strong back and lean waist, it carries strong auras of authority, befitting her figure with wide hips, strongly thick yet firmly toned legs. If nobody was the wiser, they wouldn’t be able to pinpoint this dashing Christmas cake as formerly the fifteen year old high school student Keiko Onizuka. In fact, you look more like your mother albeit with some noteworthy differences.

Currently wearing a black sleeveless v-neck qipao dress that reaches her upper thighs, with white trimmings and white circular design on the back. Followed with a red obi and its ribbons are hanging loose at the right side, black Chinese leggings which blended to give a bodysuit like a vibe, red flats, and matching red mid-arm fingerless gloves, you emerged from your well-timed spiraling thread veil, changing in lightning-fast speeds in both appearance and attire. Taking a moment to look in bewilderment you feel your mental state haven gone a metamorphosis much like your physical form. The overwhelming intellectual sensation of 『Analysis』 and the suffocating keen wisdom of 『Mother’s Task』was now in perfect harmonic balance. To you, this was the closest you have ever gotten to being a full-fledged adult. And it was quite a strange sensation.

>>4039915

Upon the first glance, your eyes start darting closely at Aki, information flowing into you as time starts to move rather slowly. What normally took some time to adjust and recalibrate came to you in a matter of seconds. Countless information in regards to what Aki’s personal statistics, physical and mental attributes, any sort of valuable information including her body measurements was instantly known to you. More importantly, as you watched her in secret something else start to pop up into your view. Although she was showing signs of manipulating the weather abet rather minor with 『Fresh Breath』 as Aki only made a light drizzle when she was trying to invoke a rainstorm, another skill began to manifest in your psyche. The words 『Bubbly Blowout』 quickly appears in your mind.

Scratching your head over the sudden appearance of the skill at hand, you refrain from alerting Aki of your presence. She was working diligently towards using her new skill appropriately and it would be unbeneficial to take her out of the zone just yet. That being said, it was getting rather peculiar that you find yourself developing yet another skill. But when you think about what was currently residing you and the true nature of the second skill you obtained from said individual, it wasn’t all that surprising. Right now it feels like your body was overflowing with bioenergy, even without the overly abundant source of cosmic energy, the level of vitality and accumulating bodily energy and heat was simply abnormal. You feel more like a plant undergoing photosynthesis as the words 『Maxuium Overdrive』echo softly and briefly in your head. Brushing that aside, you start to close your eyes and visualize the skill sheet in your mind. Strangely enough, you saw something in your discovery like some sort of skill tree between all of your skills. At least it made circulation easy as you continue to look through every one of them.

Last time you checked you recalled only two skills, those being the multipurpose astral body 『Red Cape』 and the adaptive antibody fighting spirit 『Playmaker』. Two skills that revolved around the incorporeality and the supernatural aspect of ghosts. The key difference that neither one turned your body into an intangible state. Only manifest your mental and spiritual energy into some tangible form in one way or another. But there was a noteworthy key difference between the two arts as 『Red Cape』 is tailored more to supportive tactics such as reconnaissance and infiltration. While 『Playmaker』 despite having a lot of utility is still tailored as a combat-ready skill. Looking back at the skill tree, there was one more skill currently on lockdown as it wasn’t fully developed yet. It was connected to both 『Red Cape』 and 『Playmaker』 alongside branching towards one other pathway that was currently hidden. But that hidden pathway was clearly a spirit related skill.
>>
>>4043766

In any case, the name of the skill that you could currently see was called 『Mind Shuffle』, the Dual Processing skill. Any other information was currently unfinished, leaving you with that little hint much like several other skills that originally appeared to you unfinished. Speaking of unfinished, your mind trails back towards a couple of skills that was just that. It seems there were only two, those being 『Maestro』 and one other. That one other was perhaps the most important one out the bunch as it was called『Reverse of Fortune』. Upon inspection, it seems that this was a skill revolving around the reverse effect. It can effectively reverse the nature of virtually anything provided if its something that can be distributed to somewhere or something else. Normally taking the form of reflection, it was far more versatile than a simple redirection or reflection skill. Considering the skill was an evolution of 『Ladies and Gentleman』which essentially reverses gender, it makes relative sense that its evolution skill would broaden what it can reverse.

On that note, to your eyes view there was another unknown skill alongside『Reverse of Fortune, the inverted skill 『Яeverse World』. A skill to which you couldn’t read even with 『Anaysis』 given its jumbled up code. Almost like it was completely inverted and backward. But these two skills connect themselves to another skill, a skill that only has the words, Hundred Gauntlet but any more then that was unreadable. There was just a sign saying “Due to unfortunate effects of a certain individual, this skill no longer exists. We’re very sorry” as the only detailed explanation. From what you can understand, perhaps these two skills have some sort of connection or could even be some sort of split side effect of losing a skill. Thinking about it hard was giving you a migrate thus you switch back to discovering the other previously unfinished skill, 『Maestro』. It was actually a sub-series of skills that connect to 『The Beginning』 of all things as well as『Number One』, forming a conjointed combination. Thus, it starts drawing you closer in curiosity.
>>
>>4043767

According to the description, it was a sub-skill that draws out the potentials of those around you, making them become special or even more special than they were previously. It was a very helpful support skill that tends to make those around you much more amazing. How much depends on how much you care for and spend time with. As with strangers, it’ll only get a small but very noticeable boost, while acquaintances get a more moderate boost by comparison. Looking at it closely, it seems to not just affect stuff like powers, but every aspect of the individual(s). You think back to the Elder Kai and the grand elder Guru from Dragon ball in drawing attention to how it works. But the description made you think of Kirio Hikifune as this kind of enhancement wasn’t just tied only to being around them or even thinking about them. It can also influence what materials or substances you come into contact with and exchange with others. This was a skill tailored to boosting others and making those gains practically permanent so long as a semi-active attentiveness is applied, much like 『Number One』.

Going back to『The Beginning』, there were a few more subskills that were currently in development. In order, they are named 『Devil’s Tune』, 『Nextage』, 『Cross Fusion』, 『Master's Student』and 『Restart Pointer』. Five new sub-skills to the seven the beginning already has if including 『Identification』 and 『Refinement』 but the latter like the rest was seemingly unfinished despite being semi-active. Although you were left in the dark about this new development, it just went to show the boundless potential you carried. You couldn’t help but take great pride in this as you turn your eye towards 『Number One』. The skill was still in a sort of inactivity but it seems like it was quite busy in development just like 『The Beginning』. From its sub-series list, there were six sub-skills. From the top, they were called『Only One』,『Next One』,『Player One』『All in One』, 『One in All』and Number One Full Power dubbed 『The One』 The last n the list was not just one but there were three unknown names after the last revealed subskill.
>>
>>4043771

One, in particular, has the same initials as 『Number One』 like 『Next One』 but something about it was different. Something that couldn’t describe but at the same time, it felt very familiar. A feeling that you haven’t felt in months, if not more, it was honestly a bit nerve-wracking. However, you advert your attention back to Aki who was trying diligently to try and use her skills appropriately considering that she was focusing on making different weather effects with a single cloud, abet much smaller due to mass. Much to your expectation, it seems that the skill 『Fresh Breath』 can manipulate the atmosphere to change the weather. Make sense given its sovereignty over the atmosphere. But this left another problem in itself since Aki all but has zero skills in combat and hasn’t built the creative flexibility to truly take advantage of such versatile skills. At the same time, your newfound maternal instincts were telling you the best course of action was to start small and gradually build your way up.

Upon reflection, another skill starts to dazzle itself in front of your eyes. 『Bubbly Blowout』 came to the picture as you start to glance through the skill description. At first glance, it appears to be a skill that completely governs and manipulates the surface tension and buoyancy of all forms of matter. A rather lukewarm skill if you say so yourself. Or at least that would appear at first impression. If any skill was the living incarnation of the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover” it was『The Beginning』 as one of its skills allowed the improvement and development of existing skills. Thus why such a heavily specific skill like 『Ladies and Gentleman』 developed into the “Double Life” variation with its additional aftereffects and implications. As well as the possibility that under 『The Beginning』there was no such thing as a useless skill, talent or innate ability. It was a representative of your true nature after all.
>>
>>4043775

With that in mind, you start to raddle your mature motherly brain and woman’s intuition on a viable means of application. Using the analytical side granted by 『Anaysis』along with a mother’s keen ingenuity to innovatively develop a feasible means of application, Two notes start to appear in the head in addition to an answer. The first was the sub-skill 『Woman's Intuition』as it was rather self-explanatory towards the so-called sixth sense that allows a woman to essentially be a sharp and keen-witted detective with perceptive foresight. Women are known to overthink and pick things apart from the tiniest of details. As for the second, it was a hunch but you got the feeling that you didn’t necessarily need 『My Wonderland』to to maintain or even achieve this buxom mature form as the name “Lilith Mode” starts to integrate itself into your head, showing sings the components and characteristics to achieve it was now fully open if not already something you possessed prior.

Nevertheless, the idea of how to properly use 『Bubbly Blowout』was now as clear as the sky above. Taking a rather large breath, your chest starts to show signs of swelling from all the air intact within your chest, somehow serving as additional air sacks in addition to your already massive lung capacity. Even without 『Mother’s Task』 all of your breath training and altitude adjustment through hiking gave you an iron constitution, especially around the gut and lungs. So on your own, you can effectively hold your breath for at least a month. With 『Mother’s Task』you feel like you could inhaling whole month’s worth of oxygen safely and exchange nearly a hundred percent of it much like the respiratory system of a dolphin though whale would be more accurate in your case. Filled with bountiful amounts of fresh air, though feeling no different than a blowup doll, your body starts to abruptly soar into the sky. Much to the surprise of everyone.
>>
>>4043777

Human bodies float through natural and neutral buoyancy but not by that much unless packing exceptional amounts of body fat, and not in a way that guarantees your mouth stays above the surface. If you fill your lungs with water or even breathe all the way out, you lose your buoyancy and will slowly sink. At the same time. If you fill your lungs with air, the body will start to float and rise as a result. Effectively it was the same principle as to how a boulder can sink into the water but a warship can remain floating in the air. Or how a balloon floats after inflation or aircraft are able to fly and maintain attitude despite their density and mass. It was all tied to buoyancy, in this a deep breath increasing the natural buoyancy and achieve hovering at speeds akin to actual flight. As given how you’re able to freely control your ascent and descent and thus greatly influence it via inhaling and exhaling the oxygen and other gases inside. Although it was also possible to fly through sheer air resistance and back-blast. Yet you wanted a better handle at maintaining motionless flight without having to rely on your limbs to generate enough g-force to maneuver properly through the skies.


Moving around like a Bouncing Betty you slowly adjust your attitude and center of gravity to keep yourself perfectly equilibrated. The sensation you were feeling was like swimming through underwater or in this case zero gravity as given by the fluidity in your every motion. As you quickly got the hang of orienting yourself, a question starts to bubble up in your head. This skill was obtained through observation by 『Anaysis』 during Aki’s practice with 『Fresh Breath』. But strangely, this feeling doesn’t feel like it was primarily the bond between you and Aki as given upon discovering how 『The Beginning』works in conjunction with your bonds. If anything, the skill 『Bubbly Blowout』 made you think about that mysterious swimsuit brunette in your dream. Could that skill be more in relation to her than Aki? As you ponder this, the skill 『Bountiful Boundaries』 starts to subtly appear inside your mind.
>>
>>4043803


Meanwhile, Aki who was getting relatively used to controlling the seasons from her little cloud finally looks up to see a floating beauty flying high in the sky. Quickly left shellshocked by the sudden appearance, the haughty princess swiftly calms herself before putting two and two together. There was only one person she currently knows who gave off that similar vibe she was feeling. With a slick of the wrist, Aki manifests those angelic wings made out of the oxygen around her and flung herself upwards towards the high sky to meet with your current destination. At your current attitude and the fact before your Lamaze breathing allowing your abnormal lung compacity, revigorated body, and even your silent movement as you effectively erased your presence like a mastered kunoichi, it was safe to say you were far enough that no onlooker could see your graceful ascent. Still, Aki abruptly catches up to your destination, stopping you midway as she arches her arms to the side.

“Alright, now this is just a hunch but start spilling on what you just did Keiko. If that’s you in this voluptuously mature body.” Aki asks, poking abrasively as your chest, noticing hem perfectly bouncing in place as the buoyancy kept them suppleness in check like zero gravity.


“Calm down, it’s still me. I’m just using 『My Wonderland』to make myself more like my own mother who taught me everything I know. As a result, it’s helping me micromanage 『Mother’s Task』 and『Anaysis』 effortlessly. Now I don’t have the massive headache handling such mentally influential skills simultaneously. “ You explain, awkwardly laughing in response to how pushy Aki was being.

“..So it is you. Just when I thought I finally got you pegged, you keep pulling off outrageous stunts like this. “ Aki retort, folding her arms underneath her chest as she turns her head in a standoff expression. Her golden eyes eyeing you softly before she looks to the sky. “But judging from your expression and the mothery charm radiating from you. It’s clear you’re only doing this out of my sake and going for the best teacher you know is flattering in itself.”

“Got me to read like a book. I guess it is quite that obvious when I more or less look like her in her true form.”

“True form?” Aki blinks, tilting her head in confusion.

“Yeah, she normally appears like an eleven-year-old girl or a spunky seventeen-year-old. She’s a master of the body altering skills thanks to her skill 『Invincible East』 which from what I am understanding is the original form of 『Mother’s Task』.” You explain, keeping up a small as Aki could only drop her jaw upon realization of the news. Today was going to be a long day.

And when that seems to go well, we'll add more challenge by turning it into a mid air battle.

“I’d say you were pulling my leg if you weren’t currently standing in front of me as a person who’s somewhere in her late twenties to early thirties. So I have no choice but to acknowledge this being real. I already smacked myself as hard as I can to wake myself up.” Aki sighs, placing one hand on her hips while the other simply rubs her temple. You can tell from body language alone that your mere presence was having Aki re-evaluate everything in her life so far.

Awkwardly laughing at your companion, you proceed to place your arms behind your head and subtly whistle away the awkwardness. “ Is it really that weird considering we’re having a conversation high in the setting sun? Then again, I suppose people who don’t live with my mother or at least see her first hand can interpret the entire scenario akin to that of mere folklore.”

“Anyway, let’s drop that for now and focus back on training. And what better way to improve then doing some flight training.” You spoke, raising your finger up like a teacher instructing their gifted prodigy on the importance of the basics. Resulting in Aki tilting her head and letting out a small sigh.

“More flight training? If you haven’t noticed I think I’m progressing along quite swimmingly considering I only knew how to fly roughly two hours ago.” Aki brags, taking a more confident pose much to your amusement.

“This maybe your second time flying but it’s clear to me that you still have a long way to go in terms of mobility and fluidity. Not to mention until just two hours ago you didn’t even know the full potential of your original skill 『Aero Biker』. No matter how gifted, it’s always important to polish the basics until they become hotwired in your mind. By the time we’re done, you’ll be sleeping in mid-air motion.“ You explain, shooting Aki down although in a more subtle and caring manner, somewhat different from your mother’s usual trade of wisdom. Perhaps it was the empathy talking or your newfound maternal instincts coming to light.

Making a rather cute yet exaggerated pout, Aki closes her eyes and gives you briefly the cold shoulders before eventually warming up to your suggestion. “Well fine, if you got some moves that you are confident of showing then lead the way.”
>>
>>4044953

And fly the two of you did. Like a ballroom blitz, the two moved in near-perfect synchronization towards one another’s moves. Using the art form known as dancing did the two of you gradually begin to get the handle of moving in a zero-gravity like an environment. It naturally came better to you than with Aki given personal experience and not having to use the air currents to maintain your suspended animation in the aerial field. Not that it was a problem incapable of fixing as with your motherly sage advise you start to show Aki the proper way of flight. Also, to better improve her mobility, you begin to show her how to better manage her output and reduce stamina consumption by subtly controlling the flow of air currents and maintaining a state of endless circulation by controlling the air she emits and revolving it around her like a vortex indefinitely. Quickly taking the form of her angelic wing, this infinite circulation was now virtual unnoticeable.

Although you wanted to achieve aerokinetic flight more akin to the people of dragon ball through more subtle means much like yourself thanks to the bizarre 『Bubbly Blowout』, you kept yourself patient as this was still the first day. Even with 『Mother’s Task』 and『Anaysis』 it was best to not push someone who just came out of the hospital too hard. Even with your interference and overall influence on Aki’s current physiology, it would do neither of you any good to trigger a relapse as she gets used to her new capabilities. You were after all the poster child of what happens when you routinely exceed your limits at extended periods. The closest thing you have to a healing skill was the medical aspects of 『Mother’s Task』or possession Aki through 『Red Cape』 and using one of your modes or 『Model Student』to trigger and amplify her natural healing abilities. But it was all convoluted in comparison to just having a healing skill. Despite having 『The Beginning』, it was clear there was a vast sky of different applications you currently don’t possess.
>>
>>4044981

Nevertheless, you continued diligently teaching Aki proper flight control before eventually instructing her in the art of aerobatics. At first, it was easier said than done as both of you realize just how much the people in fiction made actual flowmotion in the aerial space far simpler than it actually was. A part of you was showing newfound appreciation for winged creatures such as insects and birds who have to manually deal with this every single day to survive. Still, through hard work and steady diligence the two of you smoothly transition into maneuvering exceptionally well in the air. Whether by aerobatics or leaping or other forms of aerial movement. The two of you can move gracefully while in the air as well. Almost as if it was becoming second nature as both participants developed their air current senses and honed the skills necessary to keep one perfectively aligned in the air. Before long it went into effectively ignoring air resistance, turbulences and any other form of outside current or influence.

Seeing Aki making such large improvements in such a short time made you feel rather confident to the point of openly being proud of her achievements. Like a helicopter mother watching their child do well in a sports activity like soccer, you feel boundless joy over the endeavor. One would have to worry if 『Mother’s Task』was influencing you more than even you considered. However, even without the skill, you were always one who held a knack for teaching people and taking great amounts of joy at their achievements as if they were your own. Just the fact you being the kendo club captain was a clear sign of that. Not to mention your innate talents in empathy giving you quite the edge in working with people. Something that those who are born special, especially those abnormal have quite the notorious challenge in performing. Some find it especially harder than others. Perhaps being extraordinary wasn’t all that cracked up to be given where you were currently standing. Or floating in this case.

“Say, Aki. I’ve been noticing you’re starting to really get the hang of this, like a natural. And while I’m proud of you, there’s this nagging feeling that you’ll go and end up getting bored from the training. “ You said, turning back to Aki after previously taking the charge in this ballroom waltz the two of you were currently doing.

“You don’t need to be worried about my state of mine Keiko. You’re an exceptional teacher, it’s only natural that someone of my talent would find simple moves like this beneath-….I mean dull.” Aki explains, catching herself in midsentence at what she was about to say as her old haughty habit was trying to rear its ugly head.
>>
>>4044999

“And if we continue at where we’re going it’ll end up being more of a chore than the exhilarating rush that you made it out to be when you achieved flight for the first time. So in that case...why not have a little race between us to see who’s the most aerodynamic between the two of us~”

“Well, a race does sound better than just doing tricks and other acrobatic stunts in addition to dancing.”

“Great~ It’s settled then, let’s ascend upwards and start flying through the clouds from these two points.“ You smile widely, practically hugging Aki instantly much to her growing embarrassment before explaining the general rules of the race and where the starting point and the end goal was located.

After your little moment, the two of you ascend upwards now thousands of feet in high altitude, seemingly unaffected by the atmosphere. Seeing the city of Hakoniwa from such a hight left the two of you rather speechless at its wholesome beauty and comfy nature. Like a pair of birds finally getting out of their birdcage and leaping into the open sky, you begin to feel that same freedom that Aki was cherishing currently. Once both of you gotten well adjusted to your surroundings and took the time to prepare for the race, both of you got into proper position. On the first sign, both you and Aki dash forward at high speeds while maintaining mid-air maneuverability and flowmotion. From spins to axis changing, it was all becoming second nature for both of you as you start to take charge. Even without kicking the air via back-blast or generating any other form of propulsion force through air swimming, you were achieving a phenomenon akin to jet propulsion through the motion paradox. To be able to move without moving was the closest sign of achieving a legitimate flight.
>>
>>4045045

Meanwhile, Aki’s motions were simply astonishing, especially for a beginner. Perhaps it was still apart of her trademark skill, the fact that Aki was achieving a similar phenomenon and to do it so quickly was anything less than extraordinary. In addition, her natural speed was improving dramatically as the former student council president starts to take charge. Even without the air current helping her movements or the various atmospheric gases, Aki was able to not only catch up with your graceful movements but simultaneously pass you by in fluid motion. Before you knew it, you were the one staring at Aki from behind rather than previously taking the lead. Aki was too into the contest to take notice that she was already passing you through riding the slipstream. Although 『The Beginning』 essentially made no skill worthless under your influence through persistent diligence via perseverance and hard work. It was clear that between 『Bubbly Blowout』 and 『Aero Biker』there was still a noteworthy gap in terms of aerial maneuverability and aerodynamics.

Of course, it could be also between the builds since while with your increased muscle mass, temperature resistance, and augmented buoyancy through your own blubber, it doesn’t change the fact Aki was far lighter and slender by comparison. It also helps her lungs weren’t filled to the brim with oxygen to maintain her means of flight via 'neutral buoyancy'. In spite of your setback, you only saw the opportunity in front of you. That burning thrill that you get whenever you take upon a challenge or ordeal was coming back at full force. Not to mention, you never once said that training was over by agreeing to a race.

Looking at your list of possible skills, there was a wide assortment of potentially useful skills in your arsenal that can easily deliver an effective first strike. A clear positive outcome from the phenomena that was currently residing inside of your body as we speak. However, as you ponder about this predicament a sense of nostalgic feelings begins to flutter up inside your heart. All of these skills that you accumulated on this adventure as Keikō Onizuka has certainly been helpful and quite the enlightening experience. Not only did you uncover more of your lost memories but you started to seriously learn more about yourself and the true nature of the two skills you obtained in this long journey. And yet, could you really say that it was the right thing to do by simply progressing only with 『The Beginning』? Sure, you have done some serious growth as a person especially after undergoing this journey but….was it really right to discard and isolate the side of you that influenced the other skill you obtained long ago?

The bonds that defined you are what made you who you are and what gives you strength. There wasn’t any single doubt in your mind. Even so, deep down in your heart, you can’t help but still strongly feel the deep ties you have towards that other skill. The skill that revolves around growth, the very representation of the various aspects and philosophies that serves as the foundation of the concept known as martial arts. As well as representing the continuous ordeal that all must face as they continue down the path known as one’s life. How often one rises to the challenges and ordeals in life, the various struggles that come with the territory of situations, the constant conflicts one has both from within and without. At the end of the day, there was always something to learn, something to take from, something to improve on, the purest essence of growth and development as one fights with time to find their place before the inventable death. A purpose that defines them.
>>
>>4048035

Although you ended up taking a detour during your life in middle school and went down the wrong path, it was still a valued learning experience. Only by undergoing such hardships did your potential become clear as well as learning important life lessons including the value of true strength, empathy. Brushing with fear if not dancing with death entirely broke you out of your arrogance, keeping you from getting over your head and always being aware of your surroundings, including your own strengths and weaknesses. Choosing instead of being fearless but to fight with the fear inside brought forth true strength as you once recalled your the master swordsman that taught you that those who have the courage to re-sheath their blade are truly exceptionally rare, only recently did you truly understand what it means. Fear much like weakness isn’t evil nor a sin, knowing one’s weakness and flaws is vital to a person. For it allows them to change, not just in becoming stronger but kinder and gentle, becoming closer to obtaining true strength.
If such a thing can be born from your encounter with Misogi Kumagawa...then surely 『Number One』 can’t be a bad skill. It was a skill still tied to an important aspect to yourself as well as the shonen protagonist dynamic that Anshin’in once hinted about. Abnormalities are what shapes the individual, time after time you saw that happen to countless people. But who’s to say that the reverse couldn’t be possible. If the skill known as 『Number One』 was an aspect of your inner self, then surely much like yourself it can change to better fit with your current state of mind. Even if such a thing was impossible, for your sake in addition to everyone’s, you were going to make that impossibility become reality. Kumagawa wasn’t the only one who can make the irreversible reversible after all. Therefore, you rose yet again to take the challenge of making it to the top. Only this time, you weren’t going to focus solely on yourself and keep yourself isolated. Everyone’s efforts have made you into who you are, and they’ll continue to help you forward as you continue to enjoy the experiences and sensations that challenges can bring. Never again will you forget that simple lesson nor forsake any part of your true self, good or bad.

>>4048035

Coming to terms with yourself started to resonate abruptly as your chest begins to throb drastically. Manifesting in the form of heartburn, it quickly transitions into a familiar warmth sensation as you feel your hotblooded passion reigniting. Simultaneously, the grey names that fall under the subskill of the first skill you obtained『Number One』, including the main skill itself started to glow. In a radiant flash of the sublime, your body’s chi starts to sparkle, skin glossing with a new shine over its hue. Truly you were feeling back into proper form as the words “『Number One』fully restored, The 『Number One』,sub-series are now in development” starts to ring in your mind. One more term also appears in the back of your head. The words “『Wild Escalation』” start to show up in a grey tone, signifying that it hasn’t been unlocked yet despite the skill path to it being visible... At the same time, there was a gold star next to its name, serving as a telling that someone else has this skill like with Maguro and your mother Hitomi.

Looking through the star you were met with a mysterious figure. A porcelain-skinned woman with short raven black hair abet shaggy, softly supple yet firmly toned physique that was a perfect blend of feminine charm and herculean aesthetics. The most noteworthy aspect aside from her pale appearance was the red scarf around her neck. You vaguely remember seeing six people in particular during your garden dream that was bundled together in between all the shadowy silhouettes in the field. Truthfully there was one more person between the various silhouettes, the tallest one out of the bunch as their details match the vision of the person you see currently through the star. Before you could look further, you feel your mind snapping itself back into reality as your eyes stare back at 『Number One』. It was fully active once again, signifying another breakthrough in your heart. Despite not at the level of power you remembered it to be since the last time you used it, it seems to gain what appears to be….an on and off switch. Along with the description “『Number One』now fully compatible with any skill.”

>>4048175

In any case, newfound strength starts to swell up deep inside of you as you feel yourself returning to proper bancho form. The key difference this time was your state of mind remains the same as you feel closer to becoming a better Kenichi Hakumasa than you were before this journey down memory lane. Strangely enough, another skill starts to resonate deeply with 『Number One』as it awakens to its call. That skill being 『Maxiumn Overdrive』 as fire-like trails coming from your eyes. In addition, your eyes start to glow vibrantly with a passionate blue, electrical aura. It was sparkling vibrantly as the power coursing through your body circulates rapidly inside in a wild dance. It wasn’t up to the level that you experienced from battling your mother in that strange state, but instinctively you feel enormous amounts of energy coursing through you as it leaks out from the intense swelling. As a result, numerous amount of strain starts to quickly take hold from the housing so much raw power.

In response to the power was overflowing throughout your body, one more skill awakens to help regulate the immense supercharged state of the stockpiling raw power of『Maxiumn Overdrive』 and the growth governance and amplification skill 『Number One』. That third skill being 『Bountiful Boundaries』 as the extraneous load on your body was disappearing. Like Izuku Midoriya with One for All you were coursing with exceptionally tremendous amounts of raw power but more akin to All Might’s innate ability to draw out the full hundred percent of One for All instantaneously.Though in your case it was storing up metabolic energy from the bioenergetic sources from within, converting it into kinetic energy and channeling it throughout the body. More importantly, it was keeping it contained as the tensions throughout the body cultivate and stores the power, like rubber insulation. Thus achieving this energized body.

Now returning to stability, you focused your eyes back to Aki with newfound steadfast determination and steeled resolve.

Usually it's not for brute force, so I'd love to see how crazy we can get when it is. Would be decent practice too, if we overpower Aki then it'll get her to focus on the subtler tricks and techniques of Aero Biker we've been telling her about.

Starting things off with something simple you quickly recall an idea based on a shonen manga book. With a gleeful smile, you prepare yourself to pull off the iconic move. Taking aim you adjust your left hand accordingly in line towards your intended target. Shaping your left index finger and thumb into a makeshift finger gun, an abundant surge of energy swells up inside of you. Circulating the abundant amount of energy coursing through your body was strangely coming to you quite well. Like an overflowing river traveling down a man-made pathway in the form of a gentle stream, so to did the surging resonance of stockpiled raw power and Bio-essence began to calm down and quietly flow into motion. Practically taking the iconic pose of Yusuke Urameshi’s Spirit Gun, you begin to build up the necessary amount of power needed. Visualizing a single bolt of electricity in a wide arc, sparks start to form around your index finger. Your facial muscles quickly transition into a pure, wide smile that only someone who’s in touch with their inner child could produce.

“Hey, Aki! You better keep up to your toes and dodge this. Cause I’m coming at you full force.” You declare proudly, making sure the pampered princess heard you loud and clear. You were many things but dishonorable was not one of them. Especially with Aki who you been forming quite the master and student relationship in a short amount of time since the two of you became friends.

“Huh, what are you talking about-” Before Aki could finish as she turns her head, she was met with quite the impressive sight. In front of her line of vision was a spiraling vortex of energy hovering above your fingertips as it was producing a notorious amount of discharge and friction. Instinctively she began to tremble as sweat start to form, especially from seeing your overly eccentric smile earnestly at her. She knew for a fact that you were dead serious through her perspicacious nature, something that you share as well though carries a much higher experience in this sort of field.
>>
>>4049075

Feeling the surging power reaching it’s intended output according to your astute estimation, your smile only gets wider as you lift your hand for dramatic build-up. Swinging it down directly at your target you take a large breath before making your declaration. “Shocking Gun!” You utter, changing up the name somewhat based on the fact you were firing current of bio-electricity in an arc rather than a large burst of light. Either way, what came out was a tremendous volley of electricity, bundling itself together to make a massive railgun beam though from her perspective it looks like a literal bolt of lightning as it crackles through the air violently. Only after seeing the attack in action did you have a dreadful look as even you were surprised by how much power came from your fingertips. Luckily in your honorable moment of warning her, Aki took the initiative to make a barrier out of the pure wind as she stacks a multitude of different air current onto the barrier to defuse the strength of the attack.

A noble gesture but a futile one as its penetration power and speed cuts through the multitude of thickly condensed air current shields. Even with the wind resistance hampering it, the lightning shot wasn’t losing any speck of speed nor power. It visually starts to take the form of a rampaging tiger as it was building up momentum towards the massive tower composed of wind pressure. Now forcing her into a moment of realization, Aki quickly gathers additional air currents around her body. Concentrating it specifically around her legs to help with mobility, Aki sprints herself into high gear towards the left. Using her barrier to launch herself thanks to the ricochet effect, the panicking princess just manages to escape from the impending lightning bolt. Only by a hair’s breadth, Aki was left to watch her well-crafted defense shatters as the tiger shaped lightning bolt collides with the barrier. Ripping it apart as Aki carefully sends the discharge upwards to avoid any further complications.

“Eh?! F-For real?! That didn’t just happen.” You blink hysterically in between studdering, sweating bullets as you were completely caught off-guard by your performance. Talk about making up for a lost time as 『Number One』’s influence was jumping new bounds through 『Maxiumn Overdrive』. But that’s not to sell the skill itself short as you come to realize the destructive potential this stockpiling supercharge skill carries. Reduced to letting out an exaggerated sigh, you brush off the sweat off your forehead as you marveled at your handiwork. “Ugh I was trying to harness this swelling overabundant burst of energy and even with my best effort I still ended up releasing such destructive force. Man, I really can’t take 『Maxiumn Overdrive』 lightly with its tremendous raw power and stockpiling ability.”
>>
>>4049086

From that experience alone you were able to document that 『Maxiumn Overdrive』is able to stockpile enormous quantities of raw power, often resulting in an overabundant of bioenergy as a byproduct. Be it physical, mental or even spiritual, it seems the skill can significantly enhance all of the capabilities and innate abilities to unbelievably supernatural levels. Thus achieving superhuman levels of attributes such as strength, speed, agility, balance, durability, endurance, stamina, intelligence, senses, reflexes, instinct, etc. Effectively achieving optimized fitness of the human condition at dangerous efficiency. But it seems like the stockpiled raw power can be circulated and focused on a singular aspect to better honed the subject in particular. Not just spreading the source of the abundant vestige of energy throughout the entire body. Although it seems if done by the later the power output lessens and requires more energy to reach the same results as if using that same resource on a single objective. On that note, it’s also to be noted that focusing the power in such a way puts a much greater strain on the part of the body where the power is focused. Though from the looks of it even the percentage is controllable.

All the more reason to be thankful to 『Bountiful Boundaries』altering your body’s natural physics and physique to handle the skill in addition to the amplification of 『Number One』. Of course at the surface, you appear fairly toned if noticeably bulky, it’s still was a perfectly balanced bodybuilder if not more stylishly built like a seven-foot supple amazon. But deep down you can tell your musculoskeletal structure/system and overall body mass was significantly enlarged and compacted to a high degree in order to serve as proper rubber insulin Even with your routine training after years of undergoing intense and rigorous condition of the body, this skill was notoriously a lot for the body to handle in either form. Putting that aside, the crackling surge of blue energy that manifests as electrical currents were currently contained thanks to 『Bountiful Boundaries』. Thus the risk of burnout or any other negative implication was null and void. Even so, you took a good deep look at your hand, feeling that energy pulsating deep inside your body with each passing seconds.

“Guess I’ll stick to the more direct approach with brute force if I want to avoid directly harming Aki. I still don’t even have a standard healing skill.” You mutter halfheartedly, scratching the back of your hand with your other hand, staring closely at the smoke lingering on your left index finger. Speaking of direct, you would find yourself getting a sudden elbow dropped to the face by a rather angry heiress. To which you didn’t resist out of she was heavily justifed in taking action.
>>
>>4049094

Slamming your face down with all of her might, practically making a crater from the force of her elbow, Aki flings you off in comedic fashion. “W-What’s the big idea shooting something so dangerous at mee?! You could’ve roasted me like I was a bucket of soon to be fried chicken had I not dodged in the nick of time!! What’s going on in that airhead brain of yours?!” Aki screams, frantic over at how close she became being burnt to a crisp. At least she was showing astute levels of ingenuity in using the currents to redirect the violent source of lighting upwards and disbursing it safely.

Pulling your facial features out from the crater that was your face, you awkwardly laugh as you start to properly apologize to the traumatized princess. “Sorry, Sorry. Still getting used to a skill combination between 『Maxiumn Overdrive』, 『Bountiful Boundaries』 and one more skill, in particular, that’s on a personal level very precious to me just like 『The Beginning』is, 『Number One』. Not to say I don’t cherish every skill I currently have and/r obtain in the future. But the majority of them are just the skills I gained from the bonds I forged from others. Those two skills, in particular, came from me directly. So... ”

Putting her right arm just millimeters from your face, Aki closes her eyes and lets out an exaggerated sigh. “Stop. I think I have an inkling of what you’re trying to say. I feel the same way with『Aero Biker』.『Fresh Breath』 is an extraordinary phenomenal skill but at the end of the day, it’s still my original skill underneath its evolved stage. So trust me when I say that I can relate to your viewpoint on those two skills.” Aki softly smiles, folding her arms back as you merely smile back like a happy dog. An act that merely makes Aki flustered a bit before adverting her eyes from your wholesomeness.

“ 『Number One』 huh. Never pegged you to be the type to be excessively competitive. But considering how much of a training junkie you are and your chivalrous yet unorthodox way of doing things...it’s all coming to align like Tetris blocks.” Aki remarks, changing the subject abruptly while remaining tactful in light of your gunho action. “Anyway, I can only assume with that stunt we’re transitioning to an aerial dog fight and having fisticuffs in the sky right?”

“Yeah, you were flying pretty smoothy so I thought the next thing to do was to improve your combat skills and get those creative juices working.” You answer honestly, brushing the side of your nose as you admit it without shame but was still self-aware enough to be bashful.
>>
>>4049094

Letting out yet another sigh, Aki just stares at you with a look of displeasure, almost the level of disgust. “Really Keikō.There’s nowhere near the number of necessary words in the dictionary to describe your reckless high spirited attitude.”

“But I suppose if you want a fight then I’ll be happy to give you one. I’ll show you that I’m still worthy of the title student body president. Despite not originally being a combative type.” Aki declares, taking a fighting stance as she starts to envelop the air currents around herself. “After all, you said it yourself. It’s not a sin to be weak, only if you choose to stay that way, especially when given the chance to become stronger.”

Smiling to yourself, you quickly took to form yourself thanks to 『Bubbly Blowout』 solidifying the air into the proper footing. Instinctively you thought about walking on water with this skill on the first chance you get. “That’s the spirit! I’ll help rehabilitate you into a lean, mean fighting machine.” Slamming your knuckles together you end up creating an absurdly powerful shockwave, surprising both you and Aki in the process. “...But first, let’s start with warm-ups…” You studdered, hearing words in the background as another skill appears in your sight. The Biological resource governing skill『Short Circut』 is now in development.

“Y-Yeah…” Aki mutters, ducking back as she starts to tremble at what she got herself into with this brickly hourglass powerhouse.

Well then, congrats. Didn't think I'd have to make another contender for a Not Equal right here.

After putting the image of only accidentally hospitalizing Aki as the best-case scenario out of your mind, you advert your eyes and close them slowly. Getting back into the fighting form you start to do some serious image training. Aki wasn’t a combat type despite her defensive and supplementary applications being top tier. So hotwiring her into developing into one wasn’t a simple task, especially on the first day. Then again if it was something that was easy to do then it was probably too good to be true. As a devoted follower of “nothing ventured nothing gained” you commit yourself willingly towards the task of helping to rehabilitate Aki. Even if you didn’t deeply sympathize with Aki due to your own personal experiences with Kumagawa and literally being in the same if the not worse boat, chances are you’d still end up helping Aki with her problems. It was simply in your nature after all. Still, it does help immensely having something to relate and bond over.

As you focus your mind and find your center, your muscles start to relax and release its tension to better regulate their extensive output. Visualizing the level of control and the overall percentage rate leads you to become more stable and in control. At a steady pace, the overabundant of stockpiling energy was being reigned in a blink of an eye. Thus, ultimately achieving near perfect balance of your newfound raw power in the process. Now primarily influenced by your conscious thoughts you follow up by controlling your excess energy via suppression. Compressing all the accumulating bioenergy and raw power before pushing down to the very bottom of your core, you feel the proper distribution of the source being achieved. Before you would come out of visualization, you feel your body operating exactly how you like it while maintaining optimal status. Now, this was something you can work with.

“Alright, now I’m ready. Prepare yourself Aki cause here I come.” You declare with confidence as you take a stance.

“Then come along, I’ll properly put you in your place,” Aki replies, following a similar action to yours as she provokes herself to rise to her boastful claims.

With that exchange of words, the two of you quickly transition into proper battle etiquette. Through a simple exchange of steps, both you and Aki achieves fluid motions as the distance between the two of you was soon non-existent. Starting simple you thrust your right elbow to Aki who meets your attack with the same one of her own. The only difference was the fact she was using the air current to amplify her destructive force and cushion the impact of your impending blow. The impending clash results in a powerful shockwave of kinetic force as neither one of you backs down through steadfast determination anchoring both of you to the solid air. On that note, Aki’s right arm was trembling from the impending force that came from your attack. Just using a mere twenty percent of the new trinity combo was enough to still have the edge but keep yourself from decimating Aki in the class.

Nevertheless, Aki toughens through as she transitions into a swift snap kick, to which you counter with one of your owns. Punch by punch, kick by kick, every method of physical attack was made, a near-perfect opposite was well executed in response. Neutralizing both the attack and the residual force accompanying it results in a stalemate between the two fighters. While you were keeping on your toes as the primary cause, you found yourself impress by Aki’s level of perception and keen insight. It was clear she was no fighter but she was a notorious tactician, something that you weren’t all that surprised since she was the former student body president. Even so, you didn’t let up on the attacks as you march forward into a blitzkrieg with Aki Jakago.

Unlike you, she didn’t have the raw power to compete with your devastating blows. Even with the air currents serving as a suit of dense steel armor for herself, it didn’t do much to combat your martial arts experience and physical prowess. Nevertheless, Aki forces herself through the winger to keep her eyes locked on your movement and anticipating your next action. What she lacks in raw power she made up with finesse and utility through『Aero Biker』. With each surge of aerial attacks she created, you counteract them through brute force alone. While the act further paints Aki’s vision of you as a hulking valkyrie of valor, she refrains from letting herself tense up and freezes from impending fear. She was done letting herself be manipulated along with a burning desire to meet the expectations of her first genuine friend. Aki genuinely wanted to change and was pushing herself past her limits to overcome her old self to do so. Simultaneously, you were keeping firm control of your overwhelming raw power but attempting something else in addition.

Perhaps due to your innate skills at intuition and empathy, it gave you a clear understanding of her psychology and reason as you read her every move. Or it was some sort of side effect of possessing her body for long periods as a spirit that resulting in your deep connection with the heiress. Truthfully the method to the madness didn’t matter, only what was to be done as a result. For you, you deeply want to help Aki become a better person if not the best version of herself she can be. Although part of you was also desiring a strong, hot-blooded fight from your pupil. A clear sign that you were Hitomi Hakumasa’s child after all. Even so, it didn’t take priority over your genuine desire to empathize and help others out in any way you can. Thus, you attempt to utilize an assortment of different support based skills to do so. Particularly 『Maestro』 to draw out Aki’s full potential and bring forth her latent abilities as you harmonize and guide her to utilizing two hundred percent of her skills and talents. Raising her natural aptitude and physical prowess, you begin to see subtle changes in Aki as the battle between the two of you start to continue.

In response to Aki’s growing potential, you adapt accordingly at an incredible pace. Whenever Aki was getting comfortable with the exchange between master and pupil, you inadvertently draw forth more power as a response. Effectively forcing her to continuously stay on her toes and keep her wits shapen, you perform your job as the imposing giant wall that Aki needed to overcome to become stronger. Although, the mountainous mammoth was a far more accurate rendition to your swelling escalation. Speaking of swelling, 『Boundless Boundaries』 was earning its keep as you come to understand through your bout with Aki. Subtly the princess has been trying to use the oxygen around you to affect your senses through your oxygen levels as well as trigger oxidation inside your body. To which instinctively 『Boundless Boundaries』counteracts the fact you was one massive reservoir of oxygen as was the requirements of 『Bubbly Blowout』. Not only did it shield your reservoirs from being used against you, but it was adjusting your body’s physics into dense matter capable of resisting if not eventually neutralizing the corrosion that came from oxidation. All while retaining the elastic nature as you achieved atmospheric and vacuum adaption.

For added insurance you find yourself shifting from Aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration simultaneously as you power through Aki’s subtle tricks. Got to give her A for effort though as you start to notice that you’re becoming more and more like a plant as your body was already gradually achieving self-sufficiency through photosynthesis to better manage 『Maxiumn Overdrive』. But you brush aside any and all concerns about how inhuman your superhuman body was becoming to focus your attention back to Aki. Without warning a thought to begin to form in your mind in between knocking back her enlarged constructs of oxygen with only brute strength. From what your understanding of 『Number One』 you begin to develop a hypothesis. If you could influence skills like how they can with their holders thus forming abnormalities, then 『Number One』 should’ve adapted to your current mental state. And if that was the case, then by association the skill should have the possibility to not just influence the processing speed, development, and overall growth of yourself but others as well. Again it was merely a theory, but a theory worth betting one.

Focusing your thoughts entirely and solely on Aki, you inadvertently channel all your innate energy or whatever force that the skill manifests itself into and redirect it towards Aki. Truthfully it was the very first time you have ever used the skill for another’s sake, especially directly influencing their progression to this extent. And to be perfectly frank with yourself this was something you only considered since you once shared a body with Aki and utilized countless skills and modes inside of you including 『The Beginning』. Therefore, on the worst-case the skill can only influence you, there was still the technicality that since sharing Aki’s body, the parameters should still be within the acceptable range for doability. Yet deep down you believed in 『Number One』 as you didn’t dare want to think of the skill or yourself being so petty to not come to other’s aid when in need, especially with your friends. This strong belief triggers another metamorphosis with the skill as both 『The Beginning』 and 『Number One』 start to resonate with one another. Achieving some form of balance, the two skills start to produce a harmonizing effect through 『Maestro』, strengthening it further but more importantly triggering another evolution between both parties.

The residue of cosmic energy starts to pulsate inside of Aki. In mere moments, those remnants started to change and morph itself into something truly extraordinary as the effects of 『Number One』 alongside any other supportive boosting skill was accelerating at drastic speeds. A similar sublime aura of rainbowish hue began to quickly emerge as the power was erupting deep inside of the former student council president. Safe to say that through your strong convictions and helpful nature that 『Number One』manages to evolve once again into a skill that can influence anything and anyone, no longer solely tied to yourself as you bear witness to this remarkable development in between your clash with Aki.

>How do you proceed?

>Take advantage of 『Number One』 by purposely pushing Aki to continuously surpass her limits by escalating the battle constantly.
>Keep an eye on Aki through 『Anaysis』 as you continue to stick to your current game plan

I don't want to make her at all like Medaka and I'm worried harmonizing our energies will imprint (even more of) us into her. We talked about making her the best that she could be, so let her push her own limits and evolve within her own lane.

Practically relishing over this newfound revelation you inadvertently put more power into your punches. A single blow now was capable of influencing the atmosphere with its intense wind pressure as you thrust your fist directly at Aki. Forcing her guard up to its utmost degree, the princess manages to weather the storm and withstand the full brunt of your attack. An attack that normally would’ve broken her bone in the process merely causes a stinging sensation as it throbs from the impact and residue mark. She was putting up quite the brave face but signs of teardrops on her eye sockets stubbornly cling on to dear life as Aki fights the urge to weep. She was becoming quite the tough little princess as she responds with a full-powered punch on her own. Bit by bit she was relying less and less on her wind veil to help empower her physical strikes as your supportive skills, especially 『Number One』 and『Maestro』 was drastically improving her physical capabilities at a remarkable rate. At her progression period, Aki was steadily becoming quite the notorious powerhouse as you think back to her output reaching Medaka levels through this wild dance. To which you only continue to glee on the inside as it got the blood pumping.

That being said you remember to temper your growing excitement at your impending worthy opponent. Perhaps due to your personal experience with your mother Hitomi during your bout, instinctively you kept yourself in check. After all, boosting Aki to that level of extreme in such a short period while netting truly phenomenal gains would only negatively impact her body on a tremendous scale. You were the prime example of this considering how long it was taking your original form to reach a level of fighting fitness to return to active duty, much less handle your newfound power. A young lady like Aki was far too exquisite to have her fall under such pitfalls. It didn’t suit her in the slightest. In addition, you didn’t dare have her become exactly like you or Medaka since that would defeat the entire point of training. You wanted Aki to become strong in the right way, but to also shape herself up to be the very best that she can be. So that means developing Aki Jakago into her ideal version and push through her limits. Imitation wasn’t bad, but only when you only use it as a stepping stone to make your own art. And that’s precisely what you were hoping to do with Aki after building up the foundation.

Through keen intuition and sharp reflexes, Aki manages to get a firm footing in this battle of escalation. No longer was she overtaken by your overwhelming physical capabilities as 『Aero Biker』quickly responding to her will, developing further as it adapts through combat. Steadily it begins to develop into a skill that can affect the oxygen already merged in the matter she’s influencing. A prime example was the oxygen in one’s blood, no longer requiring her to insert her controlled oxygen into people to tamper with such an aspect or in its natural state. In this instance, Aki was subconsciously raising her oxygen volumes in her blood, reaching the maximum amount to raise her physical and mental capabilities to their utmost limit. A renowned feat especially considering she didn’t need a specific breath pattern like Qigong to pull it off unlike yourself. But on principle, it operated akin to the mode style that you and Medaka principle minus the over the top transformation to bring out the body’s full potential and optimization to the utmost degree. Either way, this gave her the means to keep up with your raw power and bounce back through her augmented recovery thanks to the enhanced blood circulation.

Now taking a more active role to this slugfest, Aki starts to throw a series of different punches and kicks at lightning-fast speeds. Leaving you to defend accordingly by using your augmented buoyancy to bounce off the attacks from your body. The overwhelming physical properties of All Might combine with the exceptional characteristics of Luffy’s Gear Four Boundman made for one challenging adversary as Aki was forced to adapt in between striking and defending. Exchanging blow for blow, you gradually find yourself getting better at controlling yourself while further improving Aki’s capabilities at alarming speeds. Becoming more resilient and improving her overall defenses with each blow, it was starting to become more apparent that she was reaching the stage where she could handle your full power while simultaneously control and focus her power into any extremity she chose without recoil. Again, something that you was capable of normally through harsh training, but with the wild and unruly 『Maxiumn Overdrive』and the reawakening of 『Number One』, it wasn’t shameful to rely on 『Boundless Boundaries』 to help keep you on the rebound, even if it was just as unpredictable and wild as 『Maxiumn Overdrive』.

>>4052850

At the rate, you wailing on each other, it wasn’t long until the princess was about to hit her ceiling. To which of course the two skills currently running adamant inside of Aki were giving her the means to push herself further and keep herself going. All while it seems 『Maxiumn Overdrive』 was replenishing her stamina to maintain this long streak of breaking her limits and rising to greater lengths. The development process of turning the non-combatant Aki Jakago into a badass powerhouse was becoming a tangible reality the more you continue to push the princess. All while subtly supporting her through 『Maxiumn Overdrive』 via sharing your boundless life energy to maintain her vigor and continue this grueling process. In retrospect, your skills while formidable seem to excel at their best when helping out others more so when focusing solely on itself. It left you to wonder if this sort of nature was just another aspect of your true self coming out into the light. These thoughts were quickly pushed aside for later as your growing excitement began to take hold of you now at the stage where you finally had a worthy opponent to fight.

In a constant cycle of destruction and rebirth akin to the development of one’s musculature by taking advantage of the muscles’ innate ability to grow stronger after repairing itself from damage, that principle was being applied at a much grandiose scale thanks to your skills. Carefully yet thoroughly you continue to push Aki to all manners of her limits, pushing her back into a corner while simultaneously enforcing her evolution stage. Building upon her true potential while carefully optimizing all aspects of herself for her purpose, you essentially remodeling Aki into the incarnation of strength in every aspect of the word. But most importantly, you were succeeding in helping her become a better Aki Jakago than she was prior. Though, from how you were handling it, it seems Aki continuously surpasses the previous version of herself with each passing second. All while maintaining that graceful exquisite and refined finesse that you have known her to be. Anything else would just be betraying the image of Aki Jakago that was burning deep into your mind and heart.

With a fierce punch between the two of you, a powerful shockwave quickly emerges as the amalgamation of kinetic energy, wind pressure, and concussive force as it erupts into an exhilarating clash between the two forces in a dramatic spectacle. Knocking both you back by just a smidge, you gave a serious look towards Aki who gave the same treatment to yourself. Staring intently at one another for what seems like an eternity, the bone-chilling silence was finally broken by an abrupt chuckling before evolving into a laughing fit. For some reason, you and Aki were now laughing from the bottom of your hearts, feeling positively relieved and refreshed from the impending standoff. Practically reinvigorated and brimming with newfound strengths neither one once considered, all that anxiety has been converted into excitement. Leaving you and Aki to feel completely loose and free like the wind despite the growing escalating and rising tension remaining in the air. Words weren’t needed to picture exactly what the other was saying. As true to bancho fashion, but it seems like this elegant princess was shaping up to a rather exquisite yet hardboiled sukeban herself.

“I think that’s covers the warm-up wouldn’t you say?” You ask, checking on Aki’s mindset in between rotating your arms to get the gears going. It’s been far too long since you had a good, clean hotblooded fight as the past month you been focusing on skill mastery and adjusting to this current body. So it felt truly breathtaking and refreshing to return to basics.

Looking at you closely before forming a confident smile, Aki casually brushes one of her many curled bangs from her face. “Yeah. I agree. Which is completely strange coming from me who was rather hesitant over doing something like this. But….strength just continues to swell up inside of me that it feels positively overflowing. Like I can truly do anything I put my mind into. All of this I don’t think was possible had I not met you, Keiko.”

“Nonsense, you always had that potential inside of you. I just gave a little nudge and helped push you in the right direction. Everything else, that’s all on you. So take pride in your achievements, Aki.”

“Somehow I knew you would say that. That’s why...to show my thanks and appreciation to you, my one and a true friend...I’ll show you what I just obtained from my conviction. My newly created skill, 『Humble Beginnings』.” Aki grins, nearly taking up the entirety of her face as she flicks her hair back as a fierce wind starts to form. Her eyes were glowing rather beautifully, emitting strong steel resolve and steadfast determination as to the golden hue shine intensely. A familiar sensation starts to hit your body as you place your hand to your chest. From what you can see, 『The Beginning』 was resonating intently with the pulsating aura now circulating from Aki. It seems more than just optimizing her body and pushing her far past her limits to become a combat-type was achieved through this fight.
