4 Chapter 3: Spar with Yaegashi Shizuku (1/2)

"Mc pov"

It's been a month since I had dinner at Hajime's house.

Today, I and Hajime will start our first day at high school. So I went to his home to wake him up. I knew if I didn't he would be late, that's why I was 1 hour early. Honestly, I am such a good friend. 

You might be thinking then why do I have a mischievous smile because I like pranking him, it is fun watching him panic, "Hehehe".

On a side note, I think I have a little bit of the original Rihito personality in me. Why, because of what I remember from my previous life. I was not a prankster, but originally Rihito was, I was relieved that I got his mischievousness, not his pervertedness.

Anyway, let's be calm for now. Knock knock, I was waiting for the door to open. Hajime's mother Sumire opened the door for me. "Good morning Aunty I came to wake Hajime". 

"Good morning to you too Rihito come in, Hajime might still be asleep," Aunty said, 

"I know", I replied. 

"That's why I came early, I can't have him late on the first day of high school. So, I gonna go and wake him up/[prank him]", Aunty nodded and then I went towards his room.

"..."

As I entered his room. I saw him sleeping on his desk, he passed out while working. So as a good friend, I took his laptop saved all the work he did and put his laptop away. "Hehehe this will be fun", I rubbed my hands against each other for more friction and heat. Then I smacked him in his back. A loud crisp sound came from his back. Ah~, It was a perfect hit, Hajime woke up with a jolt and screamed "Aaaaaaa!!!". 

"wakey wakey Hajime it's time to go to school~", I said with a mischievous smile.

"Damnit Rihito how many times do I have to tell you not to wake me up like that!!" Hajime exclaimed. 

"I tried but you didn't wake up~", I told him and looked away.

"Don't lie to me, and look me in the eye when you say that", Hajime said in annoyance.

As you can see by his reaction this is not the first time, I have done this to him. "Get ready today is a big day, it's our first day of high school" 

"he sighed Yeah yeah, I'm gonna get ready and go outside".

"..."

On our way to school.

"Damn it, How hard did you hit me, it still hurts" Hajime wined. 

"That's the point, it should hurt or there will be no fun~". Hearing Rihitos reply Hajime "sighed".

"Are you still training with your dad?" Hajime asked 

"Yeah, you see these muscles this didn't come because I was sitting around all day" said Rihito.

"aagh.., stop jabbing me", Hajime groaned. 

"I am not jabbing, I am spitting facts, it's not my fault you refuse to exercise. I keep asking you to train with me but you keep rejecting", said Rihito.

"No, I am good as I am now", with a contained look Hajime said.

I just looked at him with dull eyes, [well I tried. It's not my fault what will happen in the future. At the very least I won't let him die].

"So, we are now high schoolers feeling any different," Rihito asked.

"I just want school to end it's a huge pain to go to school", Hajime replied.

"I know", Rihito replied.

They finally reached their new high school. As they entered many students were also entering. Some talking to their friend, and some waiting for their friends to come. Hajime and I went towards the noticeboard to find our classes. 

"Damn, there are too many people here", after waiting for a minute we were finally able to find out our class number and we were in the same class as well".

"Let's go it's class 1B", Hajime and I headed towards our assigned class. 

"You know they don't change classes yearly", I told Hajime. 

"That's one less pain to deal with", Hajime replied.

As we entered the bustling classroom. I checked if all the key players were in this class, but they still hadn't arrived yet "Bummer".

"What are you dilly-dallying about, let's go to our seats", Hajime said 

"Which one is mine?" I asked. The second from last by the window is yours and the third is mine. 

"Our seats are back-to-back~. It will be easy to pull pranks on you~", Rihito said in glee. Hajime just "sighed" after hearing that he had just accepted his fate, "Please give me a break".

Just as we took our seats. 4 people entered the class, specifically 2 girls and 2 boys. They were finally here, I exclaimed in my head. Why I was excited because they were the main cast including Hajime specifically.

Kaori Shirasaki,

Shizuku Yaegashi,

Kouki Amanogawa,

and

"..."

"..."

I forgot the last guy's name.

Let's call him Muscle Head.

Everyone in the class was looking at them excitedly. Hajime also noticed them and looked at them for a second and then looked away outside. Probably thought they were way out of his league.

Just as he was thinking that many girls in the class were also thinking the same thing while looking at the guy in the middle, Kouki Amanogawa the dumb ass hero, I hated his character especially now after I had resolved to go to Tortus. So, I will just ignore him for now.

Oh, their seats are on the other side of the class that's good. I don't have to see his ugly mug, I thought in satisfaction. I had a sudden idea I called out to Hajime loudly enough to get noticed by Kouri.

"Hajime~", hearing my loud voice Kaori looked this way. I noticed that her eyes widened after looking at Hajime, my plan succeeded, aren't I a good wingman for my buddy?

Hajime looked at me with tiredness and a little annoyance, so I asked him my prepared question. "What club would you join?" 

"Isn't that obvious?", said Hajime.

"..."

"Obvious? You had a club in mind", I ask curiously.

Hajime said, "Yeah".

I asked what club, and he answered, "Going home club".

"..."

"..."

Hearing his answer I just smack his back again and sit down on my seat. "tsk", and here I thought you had become less lazy.

As expected of a 'Protagonist' his mentality does not change so easily, For 1 and a half years I have been trying to make him do some exercise but he keeps refusing me. Well, it's his loss anyway, I will just jab at him from time to time.

Just then the bell rang and the teacher entered the class.

Oh, hear comes another key player 'Aiko Hatayama'. She is a petite woman almost a childlike figure with short dark-brown hair and green eyes. Here comes Hajime's future teacher/(wife). At least this 3 years of high school will be entertaining until shit hit the fan.

"..."

Today's classes ended early, and most of the students left the classes quickly because they wanted to join clubs. In junior high I didn't join any club, most of my time I was focused on training with Dad and working under Hajime. But this year I will have less load on my shoulders, I had already learned all there is to it from my father we just spar weakly, and he sometimes checks whether I am getting rusty or not.

So, I and Hajime went to the kendo club. Why am I going to the Kendo Club? I want to see how skilled am i compared to Shizuku. She was the strongest in terms of pure swordsmanship, and I also want to flex a little, I can't forget that.

Hajime grumbled behind, "Why am I going with you again?", "Because You are my best friend that's why".

He looked at me with flat eyes, "and I told you I would not pull any pranks for a month".

"..."

"Ah, we are here, oh there is a fight going on, Hmm... looks like a girl and a boy".

After hearing Rihito's voice Hajime looked at the fight going on. Hajime is not a fighter so he couldn't tell who was winning. 

So he asked Rihito who trained with his father, "What do you think who would win according to you?" Rihito hummed for a moment and answered, "That the girl would win 100%". 

Hajime asked, "Why do you think so doesn't that guy have more power?"

Hearing what Hajime said I clicked my tongue "Tsk tsk, in a fight power is not the only means. That guy might have more power but the girl is more skilful and experienced than the guy", she just blocked that guy's blow with ease, and just as I said the girl in a flash swung her stick up and ending the fight in one hit "See, I told you".

Just as the fight ended both of them removed the head guard. I was able to see the faces of the two fighters. As I thought it was Shizuku and the Dumb ass hero.

As expected from Shizuku, she is very skilled, but that was not all she got. She was observing Dumb ass like a hawk watching his every move so that she could counter him, in the mids of my thoughts, I heard a girl's voice.

"..."
