I woke up with a start, feeling under pressure from the circumstances and the danger, I could not allow myself to simply faint like that. But upon getting up and opening my eyes wide, preparing for any counterattack, and looking for a way to escape. I got the surprise that I was in my new room, and the sensation of softness on my feet, which almost made me trip, while standing on the bed. Looking around, everything seemed normal. 'Was it a dream?', that was my thought at these moments.
Upon looking at the little table next to my bed, I saw how the time changed on the digital clock. It went from being three thirty-three a.m. to three thirty-four a.m. According to some data, a dream would last about seven minutes, even if you think that hours passed in the dream, and although in that cave I did not last less than half an hour in the exploration and the encounter with those things and their fight against the fighting girls. It could not be a dream that lasted only a few seconds, 'Or could it?'.
Leaving this aside, I got back into the sheets and lay down on the bed, since my mind felt a little dizzy and my body tired. I attributed it to how late at night it was, and I closed my eyes with the thought of 'I hope I do not have such a real dream again'.
Christel fell asleep without knowing that a very ephemeral gravitational wave was crossing all space. Many beings around the planet and in other dimensions that are part of the same world felt this power that, although thin, encompassed everything, as if an almost imperceptible wave crossed the entire ocean.
And many of these beings, the most powerful ones, realized that it was similar, although of lesser quality, to what happened approximately eleven years ago. And as it happened on that occasion, although they sent their subordinates to investigate, they would not find anything, since the starting point was the entire blue planet.
And so a new day began. A little past seven in the morning Christel opened her eyes, although perhaps sleeping a little more than four hours, she does not feel tired at all. Christel has always had a dream that does not need much time to sleep. Although Christel's mother always urges her to go to bed early and sleep eight hours or more. With all the projects in hand, Christel has cheated on her sleep schedule and has never had problems, 'Perhaps my body is special', that is Christel's thought throughout her new life.
Like every known world traverser. In their second lives they obtain some kind of golden finger, like a special body that grows infinitely, a special attribute that makes their spirit and soul superior to others, perhaps a grandfather or aunt who helps them grow and modify their destiny, or a system or treasure that takes them to grow in giant steps reaching the ceiling of the new world in a few years.
In Christel's case, her golden finger seems to be only the simple but advanced steam technology, but the technology from the world of They Are Billions is not only about analog machinery, but also about genetic modifications and a much superior medical system. In a five-hundred-year post-apocalyptic world, humans to survive increasingly stronger zombie waves, apart from figuring it out with weapons and machines, trained the body and studied the blood of many species of beasts that changed after the zombie apocalypse, but also the blood of the zombies themselves and injecting it into humans in experiments, with or without the consent of the one in turn.
Christel, for obvious reasons, will never touch those inhuman experiments. But the technical knowledge is not without any value, medical technology that could leave the world without diseases, be able to cure those ills that plague humanity that seem incurable. But, it is not yet the time to bring out those knowledges, at least if she does not want the pharmaceutical companies to disappear it before the oil companies.
Christel, as a routine every morning, finished showering and upon returning to her room and seeing the uniform that had been prepared for her she was lost.
"Christel, darling, come down, breakfast is ready". Christel woke up from her moment of freezing upon hearing her mother's voice, who urged her to hurry and go down to have breakfast.
'It was always my dream to have a girlfriend who dressed in the legendary sailor school uniform, who would have thought that the first girl I would see in the schoolgirl uniform would be myself, puff~'. With a sigh, Christel finished dressing quickly, not forgetting the tight lycra safety pants over the most neutral possible panties. Christel's wardrobe consists mostly of jeans or denim shorts, plain tone shirts, simple short-sleeve t-shirts and mostly Lacoste polos.
Although Christel's mother managed to convince her to wear beautiful princess-style dresses on important occasions, for the most part she had given up and let Christel choose her wardrobe. But now, she was pleasantly surprised to see her daughter wearing such a beautiful school uniform.
The female uniform of Kuoh Academy is quite distinctive. It consists of:
White short-sleeved blouse with a black bow at the neck, which now she wears in a common bow shape.
Black sleeveless vest, it has four buttons on the belly part and leaves the chest open, the upper part covers her shoulders from the back, and they look more like wings.
Short plaid skirt in red and black tones.
Long black stockings that reach the knees.
And black shoes with a slightly elevated heel, Christel measures barefoot one hundred thirty-four centimeters and with the school shoes she reaches a height of one hundred thirty-nine centimeters 'I am still eleven years old, I can grow taller and reach more than one hundred eighty in height . . . puff'. Upon remembering the one hundred sixty-five centimeters of her mother Lluvia, Christel could only sigh and fill her eyes with reluctance.
Upon going down the stairs and heading to the kitchen, when.
"My daughter is as beautiful as a princess . . .ღ ". And in a flash, Christel was forced to be lifted by her Mother who hugged her tightly and kissed her all over her face, and spinning.
"Mom. mom, no, you make me dizzy . . . ". Christel, already used to her mother's affections, could only endure and try with her hands to keep her skirt down so it would not fly up and give light to anyone who could enjoy the view. 'Why is this skirt so short, it barely reaches mid-thigh, it must be mom's thing'.
After some spins and kisses, Christel's Mother finally put her on the floor and looking at her with heart-shaped eyes, admired the beauty of her precious daughter. 'Hum, hum, hum. My daughter could not be more perfect, she carries all my genes'. Christel's mother thought while nodding her head and meditating in a vain way.
"Mom, it is already past seven thirty and I have to get to school before eight fifteen for the class start event". Without knowing her Mother's thoughts, Christel upon seeing the shining eyes and fearful of another maternal affection attack said hurriedly. She headed to the kitchen table where breakfast was already ready, Christel has a good eating attribute, and despite her small and thin body, she eats like an adult man. So two fried eggs, toasts with jam, a glass of milk and one of grape juice, are only a small meal for Christel.
After finishing breakfast, and going out the door to struggle for a while in her mother's arms, and repeating that it is not necessary for her to take her to the school door, Christel finally managed to escape and walk three blocks until reaching a commercial street, where there is a metro station, take the one in one direction and head to the school for at least twenty minutes. Thanks to the new Sony Ericsson, she cannot pass the journey bored and with some cat-ear headset headphones, gift from her mother, she sat down to listen to music on the metro seat and look out the window. Without knowing that after a few minutes of leaving home, and believing that her mother would finish preparing to go to present her new job. Two unknown guests arrived at the door of her house.
....
Christel after getting off the metro and leaving the metro station, still has to walk another five to ten minutes to reach the school doors, and on the way she was remembering last night's dream and the strange sensation she has felt in her body since the morning.
'What is this feeling, it is as if an air is running through my skin all over my body, could it be that I awakened my second golden finger of the traveler?'. While thinking, at a short distance, a black cat jumps out, which seemed disoriented. A strange thought passed through Christel's mind and as if by instinct, she raised her right hand and with her palm pointed at the helpless black cat.
"Aah!!! . . .". Christel was surprised and jumped when she saw the cat appear floating in front of her, then seeing as if a thread was cut, the cat began to fall and by instinct, Christel took the cat in her arms and squeezed it to prevent it from falling.
For a moment, Christel and the black cat looked at each other surprised without either of them understanding what had happened. Christel saw that on the cat's forehead there was a mark of a different color from the rest of the black cat's body, like a half-moon, with a tone like ivory with a slight touch of yellow.
"Luna..." With a flash of memories, Christel took the cat in her hands and lifted her a little 'It is a female cat' she thought upon seeing the gender of the little cat when lifting her over her head. The black cat, upon hearing the word Luna, shuddered, and jumped out of Christel's reach, hitting the girl's forehead with her hind paws.
"Ayy~..." Christel caressed her forehead, although the cat's paws are soft, the impact surprised her. 'She looks like Luna from Sailor Moon, thinking about it, I have never had a pet, perhaps I can find one'. Christel said to herself while resuming her steps towards the school doors that could already be seen in the distance.
'But that was magic, in my dreams it seems that I used telekinesis, but now the cat did not fly towards me, but only appeared in front of me when I got the feeling that I wanted her in front of me and I asked her to come. If it is magic, I should wait for my Hogwarts letter in July . . .' In the middle of her internal chat. Christel walked towards the school doors without knowing that behind her, a few meters away, a person was following her and observed everything that had just happened.
'Boa~ so many people...' Upon passing through the entrance gates of the school, Christel observed how many students were throughout the school courtyard and some teachers urging them to head towards the school gymnasium, a large dome-shaped building that was next to the classroom buildings. The design of the educational institute's structures seems chaotic at first, but if observed carefully, it is designed so that student traffic is orderly and they can access all facilities without getting lost or being late. An intelligent design.
'The architectural design of this island country is very intelligent and cautious, using every centimeter well thought out in a place where land is worth more than gold and is scarcer'. While contemplating the school structure, Christel thought about approaching a teacher to ask for guidance. As a new first-year student, it is normal to be lost and not know what to do. 'I barely remember the first day of classes in my previous life'. But before taking a step she felt someone stopping behind her and upon turning, she saw a girl of her same height looking at her fixedly.
"He... おはよう . . . (although the characters speak in their native language, only at home Christel will speak in Spanish with her mother. Everything will be translated to Spanish) Hello, good morning. I am a new student and I do not know where to go to inform myself about my group, but it seems that everyone is heading in one direction..." Christel looked at the girl in front, with a quick eye movement, she scanned the entire body and recorded in her memory all the characteristics of the girl to instantly only look into her eyes and say with a half smile. 'Since a beautiful girl came to the door, instead of looking for help from a teacher I can well ask her to be my guide'.
"Hum... Opening ceremony, director's speech. Follow me..." The girl walked in the direction of the building with a dome roof. Christel followed her quickly and continued observing the characteristics of the beautiful girl. 'Height: one hundred thirty-eight centimeters, she beats me by three centimeters, but that does not matter, I have shoes with five centimeters of heel and I am taller now; Weight: thirty-one kilograms, I do not know how much I weigh ¿?; Hair: white, with two long strands that fall over her shoulders and several loose strands over her forehead. In the back, her hair has a short bob cut; Eyes: hazel color, beautiful; Body measurements: B67-W57-H73 all in centimeters'.
"My name is Christel Ourada Velky, Christel first name and two surnames Ourada Velky, although my family comes from Slavic peoples, when they emigrated to Mexico they adopted the norm of two surnames, paternal and maternal. I just turned eleven years old four days ago and we moved to this country because of my Mother's job". Christel introduced herself while walking next to the silver-haired girl and smiled while looking into her eyes. Christel does not use her paternal father's surname, so she carries her mother's surnames and sometimes Lluvia jokes with her daughter that they could well be sisters.
"Hum... Tojo Koneko, Koneko first name, thirteen years old..." Koneko said dryly, she shuddered upon learning that the blonde-haired girl was only eleven years old and already one centimeter taller than her. Koneko fell into a silent depression and her face became cold and emotionless and she continued walking. But she quickly noticed that the girl stopped and upon turning to see her, it seemed as if something had frozen her in time, with a lost look in her eyes.
"Koneko Tojo-san ¿? . . ." Christel reacted quickly to keep a flat face and not show her emotions in chaos at these moments. 'How? How? HOW? Is not Koneko-chan an anime character? Wait, Kuoh Academy (駒王学園, Kuō Gakuen) Kuoh City, why did I not see it before ¿?'.
"Christel Ourada Velky-san, is everything okay?" Koneko asked with an almost imperceptible look of curiosity on her expressionless face.
"Oh, yes, everything is fine, you can call me just Christel..." Christel returned a smile, while trying to calm her chaotic emotions. Is not this just another parallel world of my previous world? What will happen to my plans to create a technological empire and marry many wives and live a life of disinterest and have thousands of children? Christel deciding to selectively ignore the characteristics of her gender, began to think that the plans need more future modifications.
"Hum... call me Koneko . . ." Koneko upon seeing the smile of the girl in front, blushed a little and felt attracted by that smile. While answering suddenly a voice with a playful mocking tone appeared behind them.
"Ara~ Ara~ Ara~ Koneko-chan has a new friend..." Christel upon hearing this tone of voice, her memory that was working on the events of the HighSchool DxD world, recognized the sound and quickly the person owner of this unique black-bellied way of speaking came to her mind. 'Akeno Himejima eh'.
