Long ago, the world split apart under the clash of two absolute powers.
On one side stood Zerath Amon, the Demon King — the God of Destruction, whose roar shattered mountains and whose rage burned nations.
Opposing him was Masato Hikari, the Hero — the God of Creation, whose light restored everything Zerath destroyed.
For one thousand years they fought, locked in a cycle of destruction and rebirth.
Until finally… their final battle shattered the entire planet.
But from the ruins, the gods shaped a new world — a world where humans awakened strange abilities. Among them, two souls carried the reincarnated power of Zerath and Masato.
To find the reincarnated Hero, the government created a school:
Aokai Academy — The Blue God Academy.
A place for the gifted… and the dangerous.

A Messy Morning
Inside a small house, chaos ruled — clothes everywhere, books scattered, blankets half-hanging off the bed.
A boy slept peacefully in the middle of the mess.
His name was Kiyoto Arakane.
Kiyoto snoozed softly.
Then— BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
His eyes twitched open. He stared blankly at the ceiling, then turned toward the calendar.
He groaned.
> "What a drag… it's that day already."
School was starting again.
He sat up, stretched, and sighed like life was the heaviest burden ever. After washing up, brushing his teeth, and putting on his simple black uniform, he glanced in the mirror.
He tried to smile.
It didn't work.
Another sigh.
He grabbed his bag, locked the door, and started walking to school.

Pink Hair and Daydreams
In another house, a girl with soft pink hair brushed her hair while smiling at her reflection.
Mizuki Darukasawa.
> "I hope he sees me today…" she thought, daydreaming.
"Mizuki! Hurry up! You'll be late!" her mother shouted.
Mizuki pouted.
I'm not a little baby anymore…
But she just breathed out softly and replied, "Coming!"
As she reached the street, she spotted Kiyoto walking.
Her face turned annoyed.
> Not him again… look at that messy hair. Did he even try to brush it?
Kiyoto saw her and instantly blushed.
> There she is… the girl from my dreams…
He smiled and waved awkwardly.
"Mizuki… hey! Do you, uh… wanna walk together?" he asked, looking away.
Mizuki sighed internally.
If I say no, that ruins my image…
"Sure," she said.
They walked together, Kiyoto blushing the entire time, Mizuki trying not to roll her eyes.
Then she spotted someone ahead — a red-haired boy walking with his hands in his pockets.
Ichiro Natsume.
Mizuki's eyes sparkled.
She ran ahead. "Ichiro!!"
Kiyoto's face immediately darkened.
> Why him… seriously why him…
Ichiro didn't even look at Mizuki — he just kept walking.

Aokai Academy — Blue God Academy
Inside the school building, Kiyoto stopped when he noticed a girl with long black hair watching him silently.
A strange feeling passed between them before the girl walked away without a word.
Kiyoto followed his classmates into the room.
Just then—
BANG!
The classroom door flew open.
A tall woman with sharp eyes walked in, smiling like this was normal.
"Good morning, students! I'm Mrs. Ryuunosuke Hoshigawa, your homeroom teacher."
She clapped her hands.
"Let's get straight to the point! This year, you'll be placed into teams of four, and each team will take real missions."
The class buzzed with excitement.
She began calling names.
"Kiyoto Arakane and Mizuki Darukasawa!"
Kiyoto's eyes lit up.
> YESSS!
Mizuki sighed loudly.
> Why him…?
"Ryuunosuke Hoshigawa and Ichiro Natsume!"
Mizuki smiled.
Kiyoto groaned.
"Ryuunosuke Hoshigawa and Yukina Kagami!"
The black-haired girl from earlier looked up with cold eyes.
"Now! Go pick a mission from the board!"
Everyone rushed forward.
Mizuki grabbed the last quest.
"I got one!" she said brightly.
Ichiro peered over her shoulder. "What is it?"
Mizuki read aloud:
> "Bodyguard Princess Elaria Dusalis."
Ichiro sighed.
> "We're babysitting? Seriously?"
Kiyoto tried to laugh awkwardly. "It's… not that bad, right?"

Bodyguard Duty
Outside a large mansion, Princess Elaria Dusalis stood with four guards. One guard eyed the students.
"You took the bodyguard quest?"
Mizuki nodded proudly. "Yes!"
The guard walked away without another word.
Elaria looked them over with a frown.
"I don't care about your names. I give the orders. And don't touch anything with your dirty hands."
She turned and walked inside.
Kiyoto muttered, "Why does it have to be her…"
Inside was huge — gold decorations, tall ceilings, everything shining.
Elaria pointed at Mizuki.
"You. Make me something to eat."
Mizuki forced a smile. "Y-yes…"
Then Elaria pointed at Kiyoto.
"And you do my homework."
"What!?" Kiyoto shouted.
The princess threw her book into his face.
"I'm in charge here."
Kiyoto sighed deeply.
> What a drag…

Night Attack
After Mizuki returned with food, the group gathered to discuss abilities.
"My ability is healing!" Mizuki smiled.
"Fire," Ichiro said simply.
"I'm good with a sword," Yukina added coldly.
Kiyoto scratched his head.
"…I'm just immortal."
"Someone is planning to assassinate her tonight," Mizuki said.
Kiyoto blinked.
"Ohhhh."
Suddenly—
A scream.
Elaria.
They ran.
A masked man charged at the princess. Ichiro moved first — fast as lightning — kicking the attacker across the room.
Mizuki watched with sparkling eyes.
> Isn't he amazing…
The masked assassin lunged again.
"Ichiro — Inferno Quint!"
Five blazing fireballs shot out. The assassin dodged easily — but the fireballs curved and struck him from behind.
But he wasn't done.
He stabbed his knife into Ichiro's shadow.
Ichiro froze.
"I can't move!" he yelled.
The masked man grinned, electricity crackling around his arm.
"Now scream."
He slammed lightning into Ichiro's stomach. Blood splattered as Ichiro crashed into the wall.
"ICHIRŌ!" Mizuki cried.
A knife flew toward her — but Kiyoto jumped in front of it.
It hit him straight in the stomach.
Blood spilled from his mouth.
"Kiyoto—!"
"I'm fine," he grunted.
Mizuki rushed to heal Ichiro while the assassin ran for Elaria.
Kiyoto pulled the knife from his body and threw it, hitting the attacker in the back.
"You'll pay for that," the masked man snarled.
Three demonic dogs formed behind him.
Yukina jumped forward.
"First Form — Tideslicer."
A wave of water cut all three beasts apart.
Kiyoto charged the assassin, punching him hard enough to send him flying.
Even so…
He thought:
> I'm immortal… but that's all. I'm useless compared to them…
But still— I'll find a way to be useful.
The masked man stood weakly.
"There are more of us… and one far stronger than me. We'll be back."
He vanished into the night.
Kiyoto walked toward Elaria… but collapsed.
