The interaction between Kaito and Shido was watched from the start by a girl with silver hair and a blank, emotionless face.
Yes, that girl was Tobichii Origami, one of the heroines in the anime Date A Live.
Origami's gaze was focused on one person: Arashi Kaito, a new transfer student who, according to her, was no ordinary student.
For some reason, her instincts told her that Kaito was dangerous, causing her to stare at him sharply and with high alertness.
'He must not be ordinary. His data is too clean and flawless. There's no way someone's data could be like that. It's too normal to arouse suspicion,' thought Origami as she observed Kaito.
Kaito was of course aware that Origami was watching him, but Akito ignored it and decided to scan Shido.
'System activate scan!'

Kaito looked at Shido's status and felt that he was too weak. It was understandable, since Shido hadn't started sealing the spirits that would eventually make him stronger.
While he was thinking about this, an alarm suddenly sounded.
"A spatial earthquake has been detected. Residents are advised to evacuate to the nearest shelter immediately."
The atmosphere in the classroom was immediately tense, but soon the room became lively. Everyone moved quickly, grabbing their belongings and lining up to evacuate.
Origami, on the other hand, immediately stood up from her seat and hurried out of the classroom to carry out her duties as an AST. However, before leaving, Origami glanced briefly at Kaito, who remained calm while the others panicked. Origami was suspicious, but she ignored it and focused on carrying out her duties for now.
This didn't escape Kaito's notice, but he simply smiled faintly and quickly stood up from his chair.
Meanwhile, their teacher, Tamae, was already panicking as she gave instructions to her students. "Don't run! Stay in order! Make sure no one gets left behind!" he shouted, his voice growing increasingly frantic.
Tonomachi stared at him with a speechless expression, then sighed. "Sensei, you really need to calm down," he muttered.
Just then, as Kaito was lining up to evacuate, the System's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Main mission has been released.
Mission: Witness the First Meeting of Itsuka Shido and Princess

Kaito immediately became excited when he saw this mission.
He was also very curious about the spirits in this world. Before leaving, Kaito took the time to check his status.

While checking his status, Kaito suddenly saw Shido running out, panicked and sweating.
Seeing this, Akito quietly left the line without anyone noticing, controlling his presence through his Omnicore. Akito then ran at a speed that surpassed even international sprinters thanks to his Dante Sparda physique, occasionally using the soru from his Rokushiki to stealthily follow Shido.
Meanwhile, just as Shido had reached his sister's location based on the GPS, an explosion suddenly occurred, destroying the surrounding buildings and creating a crater approximately 100 meters in diameter. Shido, as a hostage, approached the crater with a wary expression on his face.
A figure stood in the center of the large crater, surrounded by flying debris and dust. A girl… clad in elegant purple armor, her long hair flowing in the wind.
Her eyes were piercing. But within that gaze, there was sadness. There was loneliness.
"...Are you human?" she said in a soft, yet wary voice.
Shido couldn't answer. His breath caught. Who is she…?
The girl was Yatogami Tohka (princess).
But before Shido could say anything, a sudden barrage of attacks descended from the sky. Missiles, lasers, high-energy shots were aimed directly at the Spirit.
The AST (Anti-Spirit Team) appeared, fully armed, trying to kill the girl without mercy.
"Stop…!" Shido shouted involuntarily.
But her voice was unheard. The world already considered Spirits enemies. They were simply destructive creatures that must be destroyed.
Explosions rippled across the battlefield as Tohka instinctively erected a barrier. Frustration flickered in her eyes as she turned away from Shido, her focus now on the continuous attack. Without hesitation, she soared into the air, facing the AST head-on.
Meanwhile, Shido hurriedly crouched behind the rubble, his mind racing.
Watching Tohka fight was both captivating and terrifying. Her movements were fluid yet powerful, her Angel sliced through the enemy's projectiles with ease. Among the AST operators, one figure stood out:
Origami Tobiichi
Her high-level maneuvers and precise attacks demonstrated her skill, though Tohka countered them at every opportunity.
The battle escalated rapidly. Both Tohka and Origami fused their power into their weapons for a final showdown. The air felt heavy with the accumulated energy, and Shido felt his heart pounding.
Origami raised her laser sword, and with a resounding "AHHHH!!!" she swung it down at Tohka with all her might.
Tohka, unwavering, followed with a powerful "HAAAHH!!!" scream, her Angel meeting Origami's sword in a deafening clash.
When their attacks collided, the explosion was devastating. A blinding light engulfed the battlefield, the shockwave knocking Shido back as debris fell.
After the shockwave had passed, Origami was seen standing at the battle site, looking around. She was confused because the spirit she had just fought had vanished without a trace.
It wasn't long before Origami realized that not only the spirit she had fought had disappeared, but Itsuka Shido had as well. A trace of panic appeared on her face. However, she had to return and report to AST headquarters first.
Origami then immediately flew towards her headquarters.
Unbeknownst to anyone, behind the ruins of a building not far from the battle site stood a handsome man with white hair and blue eyes, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed over his chest, watching the entire battle from start to finish.
The man was none other than Arashi Kaito.
"So that's Yatogami Tohka... she looks even more impressive than in the anime," Kaito muttered, admiring Tohka's appearance and thinking that she was even more beautiful in person than in the anime from his previous life.
Then Kaito turned his gaze towards the system panel.

Kaito breathed a sigh of relief, his smile now slightly wider. His own stats, with

Kaito smiled in satisfaction, joy gleaming in his eyes. This was only the beginning. With this system, he knew his power would continue to grow, surpassing even Gojo Satoru's limits.
After that, Kaito immediately left his hiding place and rushed home, impatient to see the reward he had received today.
