Chapter 5: The end of the first day

The teacher then told the class that they were allowed to leave and that they would come back to school again tomorrow at 9am. Akira was the last one to leave the classroom, he reached for the door handle without any hesitation and grasped it firmly, he waited a second then swung the door open and walked through it. As he was going through the door, he thought to himself, "This is going to be fun…".

After leaving the classroom Akira started to follow the other students, as he thought that they would lead him to the school's exit, after a while of walking they had reached the exit, the big doors that he had walked though on the way in seemed to be the same way to get out of the school, although now that he thought about it, that seemed obvious.

Akira made his way through the exit and down the long path leading to the outside of the schools' premises, when he reached the school gates, he saw his father waiting with the 'car' a bit further down the road. As he got close to the car his father saw him and unlocked the doors, Akira sat down in the passenger side seat of the 'car'. His father then started to talk, "So, were you able to become a student at the school?"

Akira replied with, "Yes, although my powers were only that of an E rank swords man".

His father then confidently said, "It doesn't matter what level your powers are, as long as you have them you can still try your best to become great with them, most people wouldn't even dream of having powers and yet you have one. So be grateful!"

Akira started to feel a little better, he looked down, smiled, and said, "Yes, you are right".

After a while of driving, they had arrived back at the house. When they opened the door Akira's sister was waiting there, she jumped out from behind a wall in an attempt to surprise them but since they had already saw her it wasn't very effective. After a little while of silence Akira shut the door, in an attempt to break the silence.

Akira's sister then stormed off in a mood as she was unable to get a reaction, it seems she went to her room as there was a loud bang as she slammed the door behind her. Akira then took off his shoes and walked to his room. Once he was in his room, he threw down his bag and jumped onto the bed. He was exhausted, the day had felt so long to him, in just one day, he had been reincarnated, met a new family, got into a new school, and learned he had powers.

Of course, he wasn't disappointed with this day or even with this life, this was the first time he had felt so excited for the next day, for what was to come, and he wondered what would happen next. He started rolling around on his bed in excitement. After a while of thinking Akira heard his dad saying, "Dinner is ready!".

Akira rolled off his bed and slowly stood up, he then made his way to the dining room, where his father was sitting there waiting for them with the food on the table, my sister wasn't here yet though. Maybe she was still mad, Akira asked, "Should I go and get- ", as he was saying the sentence he stopped halfway as he realised that he still didn't know his sister's name. Not knowing what to do, he stood there for a while then said, "W-what is my sisters name again?".

His father let out a kind of sign and said, "You really have been acting strange lately Akira, your sisters name is Akane."

Akira started to laugh nervously and said, "I'm sorry, should I go get Akane then?"

His father nodded, so Akira went to the room that she ran into, and he knocked on the door and said, "Akane, the food is on the table hurry up". He waited there for a while and there was no reply, so he tried to open the door and luckily, she hadn't locked the door properly, so it opened.

He went into the room and she was lying there on the bed face down, he tried to roll her over and get her to come with him, but when he rolled her over, she was already fast asleep. Akira was shocked at the fact she had fallen asleep so fast, so he put the blanket on top of her, then he shut the door quietly, he told his dad that she was asleep, and they both ate dinner.

After he ate Akira said, "Good night" to his father and then went to his room. He opened up some draws looking for clothes he could wear to bed and after a little while he found some, so he changed into the clothes and left his uniform hanging in the same place it was when he woke up today and he went to lie down in the bed.

He was lying down looking up at the ceiling, he was thinking, reflecting. He was thinking about everything that had happened in this day and in his life before this day. He was wondering if when he woke up after he slept today, would he still be in this world or would he be somewhere else. Although he has only been in this world for a day, he has had more fun in this one day than he has had in his whole life before.

Akira closed his eyes and tried to sleep, after a while, Akira opened his eyes again, he couldn't fall asleep, Akira didn't want to go back to his old life, he wanted to stay here. Akira was reminded of all his bad memories of his past life, of all the times he was bullied, left out or ignored and because of this sudden rush of emotion he started to cry. After a while he turned onto his side and fell asleep, with tears in his eyes.

The room suddenly turned bright and the silhouette of the same girl that Akira saw two times in the past appeared, she dried his eyes and hugged him, she then said, "There's no need to worry anymore, you can stay here as long as you want", Akira, who was still asleep, suddenly felt warm inside and started to smile. Akira, then also started to glow, it like something was happening inside of him, then the room turned bright, once the light had subsided the girl had gone, and Akira was still asleep. Maybe something had happened to Akira after this encounter, we would soon find out soon…
