It's been a while since he returned to class with Mei and as expected, the students had begun to isolate him as well now since he seemed to be friends with Mei.
'Childish.' he said as he began studying, he wanted to keep his damn scholarship.
[Fools! They do not understand your greatness Lord Host! Beat them all up and show them who's the Strongest!(⌐■-■)]
'....System, buddy...what the hell?' He said speechless as he continued studying while ignoring the gossip of those childish people.
[Host.... You're only 16 as well, the same age as them.]
'...Can you please not?' he asked the system as he then ignored it. What these students have is what people call a Herd Mentality or just following the trend and being biased, it's normal in society and especially so in schools where there are multiple cliques and the like.
He didn't really blame these normal students but, if they dared to be like those trash who bully people.... don't beg him for mercy then when he pummels them to the ground
Later that day, as the bell rang, Aion casually exited the classroom and walked towards his apartment.....and bumped into a beautiful girl with braided white hair and aquamarine eyes wearing the First Year Chiba Academy uniform.
"Senior Aion!" Kiana greeted him cheerfully as his mind suddenly reeled as memory of the original Aion rushed into his mind and his eyes twitched.
"Kiana." He greeted her with a smile.....DAMN IT! FUCK YOU ORIGINAL AION! He roared mentally while chatting with Kiana.
You must be wondering what happened, right? Aion had known Kiana for two months, she's actually his neighbour and someone who usually comes to freeload at his apartment for food sometimes....she hadn't come the past two days and due to that, Aion's memory of her hadn't activated.
Yes, Aion can't recall everything the original Aion of this world knew unless he meets a catalyst related to it, for example, he only learnt about Chiba Academy and how it usually was after seeing his uniform.
Also, he had learnt that he and the original Aion are the same person, he just activated his past life's memories recently.....so, he's been living like a normal person for over 16 years now...and he doesn't even remember half of it!
'FUCK!'
[WOW HOST! You truly are the chosen one! Kiana's favourability for you is aleady so high!] The system interrupted his cursing of fate.
"...So Kiana, my dear Junior." He began with a bright, definitely fake smile Kiana has seen multiple times before, "DID YOU SKIP CLASS AGAIN?!" He roared at her in the middle of the streets, causing heads to turn but he ignored it as he grabbed her ear and twisted
"Your grades are already at the bottom of your class, I've been tutoring you for a month and it's still only in the lower reaches, just not rock bottom." He said while grabbing her ear "How many times have you skipped class this month?! 8 Days or 9?! Tell me you brat!(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ" He said as he continued scolding her, his personality only collapsed when faced with a natural bad student like Kiana... actually, it's only Kiana that makes him collapse.
"But Senior~~" Kiana whined as she wriggled out of his grip "Studying is so boring..." She said while acting pituful only to receive a light flick to her forehead "Ugh!" She squatted down dramatically as she held her forehead, "Ah! That hurt! As compensation you'll have to treat me to dinner today!" She said with a smile.
"Two days! I'll give you two days time to study the previous homework I gave you. Then, I'll test you." He said then sighed, "Bring the vegetables like usual." He said as he relented to Kiana's antics.
"Yay! Senior is the best!" She said as she jumped up, "Don't skip class anymore, got it?" He told her as he sighed and ruffled her hair.
'....If you dare say anything System, I will somehow find a way to tear you into pieces.' he growled mentally as he walked towards his apartment building with Kiana.
[I was just gonna say that you look like an older brother (ㆁωㆁ)]
'...Huh, that's-'
[ That's right! The older brother and sister who rely on each other to fill the void of loneliness in their hearts, eventually they fall in love with each other through mutual bonding and then they escalate and then they go to the bedroom and then-]
'SHUT UP YOU PERVERTED SYSTEM!' He roared, he shouldn't have had any hopes for this degenerate system at all.
"So, why did you skip class today?" He asked the girl who was clinging to his hand and her face changed, becoming sad and hesitant then hid it instantly, "Ah, I was just searching of I could.... find my stupid old man....." She said false cheer in her voice and her voice cracked but she quickly shook it off and acted cheerful, "Senior won't blame his cute junior? Will he?" She asked cheekily.
"... Tch, I'll make you some friend chicken today." He said as he ruffled her hair, it felt quite weird to be honest, having a memory and instinct of your own towards this girl while having known her for less than two months including original Aion and only a few minutes considering the current him...but, he won't suddenly abandon or act indifferent to friends or anyone because they're Herrschers, even if they don't know it yet.
Well, It is what it is. At this moment, no, when he had already talked with Mei earlier today, his mentality had actually changed because he realised that these were real people with feelings, he won't purposely avoid some people just because of danger.... because that's not who he is.
Even if he's a coward afraid of death, he'll still fight for a Perfect World without tragedy..he paused confused as he realised that, this was his real feelings, he didn't want tragedy, he hated it. He didn't want his friends to be sad, he didn't want people to die, he knew it was naive but he didn't want to leave everything to Fate....He won't sacrifice himself for random people but..he will try to save as many as he can.
"Thanks Kiana." He said after realising his ideals to a Kiana who had no idea why he suddenly became dazed then thanked her, "Senior...? Are you sure you're okay..?" Kiana asked as she put a hand on his forehead.
".... Nevermind, you're still a brat." He said smiling a bit more relaxed as he walked with her to their Apartment.
".... I'll buy the chicken today." He said as walked past the Apartment building while she took both of their bags upstairs, they lived on the 3rd Floor, each floor only had four rooms and Kiana was in the left most corner while Aion's room was just next to her's.
He walked towards the Department Store to get some Chicken.
...And he accidentally met a beautiful woman with short honey blonde hair and reddish pink eyes wearing a maid outfit in the department store.
[Woah Host! New Target get daze! Maid Route unlocked ✧\(>o<)ﾉ✧]
'...Shut up you abstract system!' He said internally '...Do I have some Doom Constitution? Actually... WHY THE HELL IS RITA ROSSWEISSE HERE IN A DEPARTMENT STORE?!'
