Itsuka Furuichi was a second year at Kurama High. And after half a month of school, he finally waited for his girlfriend Takamiya Sakura to call.
Standing on the playground in the school, Furuichi smiled and pressed the answer button of his antique mobile phone.
"Hey, Sakura, is your filming done?" At the end of the last semester, Sakura was one of the four major school flowers. She was fortunate enough to star in the movie of the famous director Ken Takisha. Furuichi didn't give Sakura trouble, so he rarely called her, as she said she needed focus and not distractions.
"I'm coming to see you Furuichi." The voice came from Sakura.
"Well, where are we going?"
"I'll arrive at school in half an hour."
"Well, I am waiting for you here..." Furuichi still had something to say, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
Furuichi stared at the phone, slightly locked his eyebrows, but then could not help but smile. Sakura had been busy filming, causing the two to not see each other for more than three months. This can be said to be the longest separation since the two years of love they shared.
....
30 Minutes Later:
It was already afternoon, and the scenery in the sunset was somewhat beautiful. There were few people on the playground. Furuichi and Sakura were walking around the playground.
Sakura besides him had used a scarf to cover her mouth with big sunglasses covering her facial features.
"There aren't that many people on the playground. Isn't it better to take the disguise off?" Furuichi said.
"No- there's no need."
Furuichi listened to her words and saw that she seemed to be somewhat unhappy. So he said. "Look, what is this?"
She glanced at the little puppy key-chain in his hand and then looked away.
"It's a key-chain again." She didn't reach for the it.
"What you don't like it? Didn't you like it before?" Furuichi was surprised and slowly retracted his hand.
"I don't like it now." She had been slightly lowering her head. From the time she met him to the present, she didn't look at Furuichi.
After a long time, Sakura stood still and said
"Furuichi, let's break up."
Listening to this, Furuichi also stood still, and his heart sank. He turned and stared at her saying only, "Why?" The two were always together and he thought it would last this way but it seems he was wrong.
"Since we're familiar with each other, I will say it straight. You can see that I am different from the past. We are not in the same league Furuichi. You can't give me the life I want."
"But I'm still a student, after that..." Furuichi's words were not finished, as he was interrupted by Sakura, she said
"What I want is now, not in the future. No one can say anything about the future."
"Is me being with you, bad?"
Furuichi pressed his palm and said
"Well, if you want to then sure, let's break up." On this part, Furuichi felt that he didn't have to say anything more.
"Furuichi, society is like this. If you don't change, then eventually you will be eliminated by society."
"I don't want to go with the flow of society - no wonder you moved your things away at the end of the semester. At that time, you planned to break up with me?"
"Yes!" Sakura said firmly.
"After breaking up, we can still be friends."
Furuichi took a few steps and Sakura stopped him.
"Furuichi."
Furuichi however didn't look back, and Sakura opened her mouth.
"Before we break up, at least walk me home Furu-."
"Walk on your own, God gave you feet for a reason."
After that, Furuichi drifted away.
....
While walking he felt annoyed that he didn't see this earlier, he was blinded by his emotions and failed to see the distance growing between them.
Furuichi, who's mind was out of this world, accidentally bumped into a female student and she had fallen to the ground.
Once this bump was made, his mind jogged back to normal as he saw the girl he bumped into was one of the Four school flowers, it was Tachibana Aoi-san.
He saw that because of his careless bump towards her she had hurt her ankle, as she sat on the ground in pain her curves were further accentuated.
Seeing this scene Furuichi bent down in order to help her get up however Aoi said, "No need" as she painfully got up, before looking at Furuichi and saying, "Next time make sure to look in front, if this was a road you would surely be killed by Truck-Kun, I'm sure you wouldn't want that."
Surprisingly Aoi-san didn't shout at him but merely reminded him to keep watch of his surroundings in case he injures himself. "Sorry.." Furuichi replied, but Aoi-san merely smiled before waving goodbye as she left.
....
After an hour:
Furuichi had arrived home, he was an orphan so he had no one to welcome him in, which further depressed him as he was already angry about getting dumped. The fact that he had no family further emphasised his sorrow. And as soon as he had took off his shoes he leapt up the stairs before falling face first on his bed.
He thought about all the memories he shared with Sakura, yet they made him even more angry remembering these memories. And like this he closed his eyes as he laid in bed.
At this time, it was already dark, and a blue light descended from the sky. Through the window opened by Furuichi, an inexplicable object fell into the floor of his bedroom, but the floor wasn't damaged.
Furuichi violently shook his head. He thought it was an illusion, but when he looked at the floor, he saw a transparent sphere that was slowly dissipating.
And in fright he didn't touch it however as if a sentient being it launched itself straight at Furuichi, and seemingly merged with him.
———_______———
"What the hell is this?" At this point, a strange voice sounded in my mind.
"I didn't expect to find a living planet so far from the Galactic Union - my remaining spiritual strength is not much, so long story short. I am the will of the last Guardian of the Universe and am his inheritance, but my abilities are extracting things and making Demon fruits, as long as you eat the Demon fruits, you will have all kinds of abilities, but they won't last long, due to you just beginning your quest."
"If you want to make your ability stronger or more durable, you have to wait until the Demon fruit fully grows. People with the Demon fruits will become cosmic warriors. But to become a real cosmic warrior, you have to pass the Cosmos test, at a later time, the system will, see if you are qualified to become a cosmic warrior, once you pass the test, the Abilities will grow into your body."
"If you can't pass the Cosmos test, then the Demon Fruits will disappear..." The voice in Furuichi's mind was silent for a long time, and then.
"This is the last Demon seed in the universe. I hope that you can pass the test and maintain the order of the universe..." The words after that are very vague, and Furuichi couldn't hear what it was saying.
...
After a while, there was no longer any sound in my mind. So I slapped my cheeks, thinking that there was an auditory hallucination going on. I then got up and went to the old wooden chair and sat down on it.
At this time, on the floor, there was dust constantly approaching the Demon Fruit Seed. Finally, the dust buried the Demon seeds, and soon the Demon seeds grew into seedlings, and the seedlings floated out of the dust. Falling on top of my computer desk.
At this time, Furuichi was pouring some Grape juice into his mouth. When he saw the seedlings falling on the table, he saw that the seedlings grew fine roots and plunged into the table. Furuichi stopped his hand in the air, and put it down after a long time.
He merely stared at the seedlings on the table. He saw a black fruit the size of a bean, with a slight glow on it. But he didn't feel too surprised. Instead, he reached out and took the black fruit into his right palm. He stared for a while and then stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating the fruit, Furuichi didn't feel anything different at first, but after a minute, his body was slowly melting like a wax figure. as If his whole body had turned into a liquid, and instantly he fell off the chair.
"It's over, What the hell did I eat, how do I feel that my body is feeling slimy."
At this point, Furuichi had softened into a liquid, attached to the floor, and his clothes and pants were hung on his wooden chair.
....
Next Day:
Fortunately, Furuichi had fallen asleep after eating the fruit. He first touched his head, then blinked to adapt to the light coming from the windows, and asked himself
"How did I fall asleep on the ground?"
When he got up, he found out that he wasn't wearing any clothes, and he couldn't help but feel strange about it.
"Who helped me take off my clothes?"
Furuichi thought while walking towards the bathroom. Twisting the shower head and pouring the cold water on his body he didn't really feel the Cold for some reason.
'No, I remember I was wearing clothes yesterday night, but what happened next I can't seem to remem-'
Wait that voice yesterday, the sprouting seed, and a black bracelet appearing on the ground near my table that had seeds on it!
Thinking of this, Furuichi quickly washed, and then rushed out of the bathroom, and looked at the computer desk. There was a small seedling on the table, and a small black fruit with a large bean grown on the table.
Furuichi slowly walked towards the computer desk, he walked a few steps, and felt something stepped on his feet. So he took a look at the floor, it was the black wristband from yesterday.
Seeing it, Furuichi cautiously bent down and picked up the black bracelet with his left hand. However who would have expected this black bracelet to quickly wrap around his left wrist. Furuichi was shocked and wanted to take the black bracelet off of his hand in fear, only to find that the bracelet was slowly growing into his skin, until it became a part of his left wrist.
'Cosmic warrior...armour'?
Furuichi once again remembered what the voice said last night, staring at the black bracelet on his left wrist for a long time, trying to ease his emotions. Since this bracelet can grow into the flesh, it is true that what happened last night is true. So how do you use this bracelet?
Furuichi extended his right index finger and clicked on the bracelet a few times, but it didn't react at all. "Is it stupid? Giving me a suit and not telling me how to use it."
He was helpless at this point but suddenly Furuichi was covered with a layer of black rubber like material. The black material was the battle armour he had gained yesterday in his quest or something.
The battle armour clung to his body and supported Furuichi's uniform muscle lines. On the chest of his armour, there was a red and black pattern (Cover Art Pattern). Although the battle suit covered his head, he was still able to breathe and could fully see the situation outside.
Furuichi stared at his body, looked at the armour for a while, then jumped a few times in place. After wearing the battle armour, the bodies strength doesn't seem to grow, so what is the use of this suit?
Furuichi now clad in a black spandex like suit came to his chair and sat down on it, holding the black material, but no matter how he pulled on it, the black matter would not be broken by him, and when pulled, it wouldn't move at all meaning more Force is needed.
"But the suits so soft, I don't get it?"
When he saw all this he was a little excited, and opened the drawer in the computer desk, took out a pair of scissors from the drawer, and tried to cut the suit. But regardless of how he cut, he can't seem to cut the black material.
"What kind of material is this? How do I feel as if the water on the body is dry?" Furuichi originally came out of the bathroom, but after being covered by the battle suit, the water on his body was inexplicably dried.
Then Furuichi stared at the small green seedling on the table and took the black fruit from it. He was just about to eat it but then he stopped. He couldn't help but think of the inexplicable liquidation last night, and it couldn't help cool his heart down. In case the fruit was eaten again, what if he became a liquid again?
Eventually he put the black fruit down and touched his black bracelet before suddenly the suit came off as if a symbiotic partner.
