8 Arc 2: Your A Magical Girl, And Everyone Else Is!!
" You idiot! Do you think being a hero will put food on the table?! Your practically a slave!"
Opening his eyes he found himself in a neat tidy room and a woman screaming at him.
Seems pretty normal.
At the moment, he was lying on the ground clutching his cheek that was stinging.
" Okay, I'll just make the summary basic for now so you can deal with the situation," Looking to the right Kohaku found Ryuu was floating upside down in mid-air as a blue screen hovered in front of him.
" Basics of it is that at the age of 16 you become a magical girl, people become heroes and stuff, yadda, yadda, yadda. Your name is Ishida Masaki, your a stoic cold person who will turn into a magical girl soon!" Ryuu paused looking around before shrugging his shoulder.
" Blu will help you on the personality, cause you are obviously not that type of person,"
Blu, who was currently in her bird form lightly pecked Masaki's head.
How to explain the feeling that was happening within Masaki?
It was almost like a balloon was being inflated inside him.
He didn't feel very well.
It was almost like something was missing in Kohaku though after the feeling passed, only to have a headache.
After that passed he felt, well more...dead inside.
Looking coldly at the woman, the woman faltered in her speech before storming off.
" Now that's out of the way, I'll explain why we had to do that, and a more detailed summary of this world." Ryuu sighed as his tail started thrashing wildly.
" I'm too tired for this...." Ryuu said under his breath.
" Anyways, we did it because this world is a story, not a video game. The character has a set personality, the last world didn't...." Masaki frowned at Ryuu.
This felt weird. At the moment he would've replied. But right now he just silently judged the cat instead!
He hoped he could get used to this.
"As I said earlier at a specific age you will turn into a magical girl. Which is around 16 years old. An item that you hold dear too, or is important to you, will allow you to do that. People call it your Trait Item. Then after a few months when you know your way around your trait, you can apply to be a hero." He exhaled as he landed on the ground.
" What if you don't get a Trait Item?"
" Well, there is a 20% chance of you not getting one, so you will be deemed " Trait less". But no worries, you will get your Trait Item." Ryuu grinned at Masaki as he started walking around the room.
" Task?"
" Simple, be the best magical girl there ever is,"
Masaki grunted in recognition before heading to the nearest bathroom. He didn't need to go, but he wanted to check something out.
Smiling at the mirror, he started to recognize the character.
He was the one from that comic, " In This Magical World".
Kohaku cringed at the name. He had heard about the comic but had never read it.
But besides that, he was quite good looking.
His frame was pretty average for a teenage male. But his face looked quite soft in appearance.
Masaki had Black hair and blue eyes. He had pale skin and was a bit tall. He also wore a blue sweatshirt and black jeans.
Smiling he headed back to the room.
....
*RYUU POV*
Why was he feeling so tired lately?
Massaging his temples he groaned.
Sleep deprivation? He doubted it. Hosts didn't need sleep at all. Maybe it was from staying in that stupid cat body for so long.
It probably drained all of his energy to keep in control of the body.
Maybe he would try to sleep and hope to feel less tired...
....
*KOHAKU POV*
Huh, weird.
Walking into his room he had noticed Ryuu was taking a nap.
The man had propped himself up on a wall.
Masaki couldn't deny it, but Ryuu was kinda cute like this.
He smiled at the sleeping Ryuu before flopping onto his bed.
It seemed like he would just have to wait around until his Trait Item would appear.
" Masaki come down here!" the woman's voice shouted.
Never mind.
Getting up from his bed he skimmed across the stairs and found the woman staring wildly at a pair of scissors.
She would look crazy, but well, the scissors were glowing blue.
Probably a Trait Item.
Ah yes, of course, it's a pair of scissors though.
His body moved on its own as he grabbed them.
" Sew together the webs, make them seamless..." Confused he looked at the woman.
" Why did I say that-"
He didn't finish the sentence as that shadows around him- yes the shadows of everything. Seemed to collect under him and crawl up his body.
" WHAT THE-" He didn't get to finish that sentence either as the shadows finally covered him fully.
The woman screamed as she fell on her butt.
Dispersing, the shadows returned to normal revealing Masaki, who was of course, shocked.
" Why was your transformation so dramatic...." picking herself up she smoothed the creases in her clothes.
" Wait here for a moment." Hurriedly walking up the stairs Masaki slid into the bathroom and gasped.
His hair had turned white and his skin even paler. He was a bit shorter as well. Two long white horns also sprouted from his head with weird carvings in it.
His eyes were blacked out as well, including the whites. He was wearing a red cloak that stopped below his knees. He also wore black stockings, brown boots, and a black dress shirt underneath the cloak.
A thin scabbard was slung over his back too. In the scabbard was a long needle, the needle was as big as a sword and felt very light-
Hold on a minute.
The more he looked at himself he was reminded of somebody.
Hornet.
From hollow knight.
(( A/N: Hand over Silk song Team Cherry. ))
You got to be serious. He looked like the human version of Hornet.
Well, it didn't really matter, he looked badass.
Walking toward his room he realized Ryuu was still asleep.
Huffing, he jumped out of his bedroom window.
Taking out the needle, he threw it to the nearest building, a thread seemed to form between him and the needle.
Grinning, Masaki pulled the thread lightly causing him to shoot toward the needle. Holding onto the building he pulled the needle out.
Heh, this was kind of fun. Jumping between buildings he started humming a song.
After a while, he paused on the side of a building as he watched something that looked like a superhero fight. A giant hole was in the ground while two figures were throwing stuff at each other.
" I guess I'll help or something," Jumping down, he resembled a spider descending on their prey.
....
*??? POV*
Who was this?
A new hero maybe?
The boy didn't want to lie to himself, the hero looks kinda alluring the way they skimmed over streets.
And the way the moonlight shined on the needle including the city lights, lighting up the hero in a certain way, made this person quite interested in this person.
The boy smiled and made something like a bird chirp before opening his wings and diving off the building.
