______________________

The school authorities had learnt of the fact, that the history of the prestigious school, had been re-written once again.

'The freshman who had earned over a million of points in less than half of the first month, and by the second, had three times of the value. '

Such achievement had never been gained by any student, since the beginning of the foundation of this school! It could only be described as a 'heavenly coincidence'.

While the principal was discussing about it with the representative of the student body, President Horikita, about what amount of extra points should be given to the individual...

The said individual was drooling in his sleep, dreaming about land of sweets, where he was a Hero who had to defeat the Demon Lord, which was apparently a huge cake!

Actually... All of the residents of that world were in some form of sweets, only he was a human... And he defeated his foes by eating them, is that counted as cannibalism? Or it OK, because they are sweets? But. They are alive...

While the author contemplated upon this thought, the alarm sound echoed in the quiet room, making the teenager mumble in his sleep, but waking up nonetheless.

(Aiden POV)

"Beep! " ×3

Ugh. What an annoying sound. Cursing the alarm clock meaninglessly for few minutes, I eventually got up, and turned it off.

(4:25PM)

Glancing at the time, I looked over to the sheet of paper I stuck on the wall, which was marked with timings. As if to tell me when, what and which event is supposed to occur.

Getting up from the bed, I brewed coffee for myself, putting extra sugar, I took in the natural aroma off it.

Putting the cup on the small table beside the bed, I took a notebook in the middle of my study books, this one was normal, but... Changed it's form when I used 'Spin' on it. That's correct, I had created a code like notebook which seems 'normal' at one glance, but the true content is actually hidden with lot of words.

All of them being written by a fountain ink pen, I had made somewhat achievements in learning spin, and had mastered it to a certain degree .

Then this creative thought came to my mind, just as how a locker is locked behind a dialer, which can be used to input the combination. And only with the correct one can it unlock.

I thought of writing down all the information I knew about Cote in notebooks. But, making it seem like a 'Philosophy' of some sort, that is, by misplacing the content by using spin, on the used 'ink', which will randomly travel to a specific point of the page, but will be enough to make it back to normal with a spin from anti-clockwise direction.

It took me multiple failures, to reach this almost near perfection, of a creative way in concealing it. Although, that means only a person who knows spin can unlock it, which also is a random thought along with being an almost impossible possibility.

Basically, highest security, but that doesn't mean it can't be destroyed. So, I kind of still am thinking about that. But, forget it, let's just quickly glance around today's time line...

Swimming huh? But, our's is after tomorrow. I would be lying if I say that I don't wish to see it. Let's surpress those thoughts for now, and move on to the next step of our plan.

First of all, the revision of past!

I used Kushida's motive of becoming 'friends' with Horikita for my own advantage.

I lured Horikita in my scheme by effectively manipulating her desire to go in Class A, to prove her brother that she isn't useless, I gave the proof for the solo way of moving to Class A, the recording with Sae Chabashira, their homeroom teacher, confirming that one can transfer to Class A with 20 million points. Although it costed me some points... But was worth it.

Then explained to her about my plan, and told her that I will be paying her 450,000 points for making the contract. She only has to make the contract which suits my taste, which she immediately agreed to.

Then, so that Kushida doesn't think I am favoring Horikita over her, I added her into doing something as well, that is... To use her friend contacts to get 'investors', which worked out spectacularly, in return I gave her 250,000 points, of course she didn't know the amount of points I gave to Horikita, she only knew that I am also paying her.

Like that, I took the economical advantage in my year, being ahead of everyone aka being in control at the center of the board. This school can be overturned with ease, by just the use of points as a currency, just like the real world. Having economy by my side, I have become not only the richest freshman of the year, but also a force to be reckoned with.

Class C had withdrawn from this plan, leaving only two classes, Class D and Class A, I could have gotten the whole Class D to participate, but the amount of points reeled in wouldn't have made much of a difference, and wouldn't have been worth it to make Kushida's leading role in heirachy fall.

After all, she has more uses currently, and is as valuable as 10 million points... Maybe not, let's half it, 5 million points... No, that's too much as well, let's just say half a million points.

Yes, that sounds accurate. As even if she is in the top of social heirachy, at the best I can distract Ayanokoji with the use of her in future events. That would cost me, loss of Kushida, along with a neutral stance from his side.

Basically not worth that much points, but still, she can serve for some 'other' uses I suppose. No, what the hell are you thinking!? Get your mind out of the drainage line!

Anyways, for now, we need to also find the murderer, as just due to the existence of supernatural, this time line has gone far from canon. Because, many events can be changed in the future due to the supernatural interference, actually, many have changed. Although I would prefer to play this thrilling game for a while longer, at least a year if I am being honest.

But I know, all that would cause will be chaos in this school which is on an island, as big as a city. With having only two ways of escaping to Japan or other country, which is by flying or by swimming, aka helicopter, and boat.

So, we'd be trapped if the murderer plans on going on a genocide here, by destroying the port along with the place the flying vehicles are stored. As, I looked into the past, that guy is a serial killer, basically, he enjoys leaving his dead victims in a disgusting state, which he thinks of as creative.

He chooses the most normal victims for that, an average office worker? A janitor? A random normal kid? He thinks of them as boring, and decided that he will end their lives and grant them a 'better' state as well. Thinking he has done a good deed. I looked into not only his past, but also his thoughts, along with personality traits.

Only one word can be used to describe him... That is, Insane. Which makes me think even more so against the idea of ending my best thrill.

Wait, does that make me crazy too? Can't say, it's just a personality disorder perhaps. Well, time to move the phases for dealing with him alongside, my 'normal' high school life.

(3rd POV)

'President has been staring at that report for a while now... ', the girl with purple hair thought while holding some files, she was looking at the black haired boy with glasses for a while now, as he had been reading through a file of a freshman since few minutes.

[Name : Aiden Infinity ; Age : 16 ; Personality Type : Neutral Pacifist ; Physical Ability : A ; Academic Ability : B ; Social Ability : C+ ; Comments about him by the examiners : He's a normal average teenager, just that he's hardworking, way too much or so. From his past records, it has been found that, he always tries way too hard at everything, reaching higher limits, as result he has managed to improve himself in past. While talking to him, have noticed he isn't too keen on conversing, but is capable of keeping it afloat. Nothing too much out of ordinary, but- there was one thing which was abnormal. That is... ]

The purple haired girl was the 'secretary', Tachibana Akane. While the male who was sitting, was the 'President',Horikita Manabu. Of the student council.

"Is there something wrong Tachibana? You have been staring at me for quite a while. " President Horikita questioned.

"I was just curious why you were reading a freshman's file... "

Lifting up his glasses which reflected light, "He's no ordinary case, Tachibana. He has not only piqued my interest, he also has shown remarkable feats since coming to this school. Do you know who the rumoured first year is? "

"You mean... The one whose file you are checking... Is the one who earned million points in a month!? "

"Correct. The sudden history of point transactions were stopped by the school, because they wished to analyze it. To see if there was any cheating of any sort, that violated school rules. But that wasn't the case. "

"I see. So that's why you are checking his files... He truly has done something unique in his first year... "

"That isn't the complete reason why I am interested in him. " Manabu spoke while shifting his glasses, which shone in white.

"...Then? "

"He is the prodigy who figured out the whole system before his entrance ceremony. "

'Although, I don't know how much he had it figured, it's an assumption based on his achievement of figuring the purpose of class grading. '

"You m-mean...! Then, are you planning on recruiting him? "

...

For a moment there was silence, papers rustling due to the wind from the open window...

Manabu lifted his glasses again which reflected white light.

"Maybe. "

[That is... He has d--- ---s---l---. ]

(Aiden POV)

Knocking on the door a few times, it opened. Revealing a office like room, which I entered, carrying an application, I handed it to the purple haired secretary, who before could question something, was holding my application letter.

Manabu looked at me, as if analyzing my behavior. Giving me a scrutinizing gaze , he spoke.

"Was your purpose only to submit the application? Aiden Infinity. "

"Actually two things, President Horikita... Senpai. I heard you aren't taking in any first years, I was curious about it, and investigated. I found out the reason. "

Tachibana looked at me, along with Manabu, as if asking me to proceed further.

"Nagumo Miyabi. He's the vice president, as well the leader of second years. I found out he had expelled many people, from his grade, and is using the school as a 'sheep' for it's 'wool.' Due to this, both the school and the president aka Senpai has been troubled by him. As, he is going to be the student council president in future, along with holding every student's future in second year, and that is, Unfair."

...

"So? How is that the reason president has been rejecting- ", before she could finish Manabu put up his hand, as if asking her to stop, which she immediately did.

Then he continued looking at me for a while, I displayed a smile.

"Interesting. You are as good as seen by your achievements, Aiden Infinity. Is it your second self, I wonder. So, now that you know the reason, what do you plan to do? "

" Nothing much Senpai... You have blocked any first years from entering the student council, but, after a while, their applications will be accepted against your will. So, I have three paths to proceed with. "

He was surprised, not with the information but rather the 'paths'.

"How amusing, I understand if it's two, how is it three-"

I displayed a grin this time, but quickly hid it, while keeping my hands in check, so they don't tremble.

"One, helping you, Senpai in your quest to take down Nagumo Miyabi before you graduate. Second, siding with Nagumo Miyabi. And Third... Eliminating both. "

For a while there was silence, then Manabu showed a serious expression. While Tachibana looked at me with a questioning gaze.

"Is that a threat, Aiden Infinity? "

"Not at all, Senpai. I just told you what I am capable of doing, and these are my choices. Which one I choose depends on you, and me Ofcourse. "

Exhaling a sigh, he lifted his glasses again, and spoke.

"Aiden, honestly you are worthy for the student council, your achievements are a proof of it. But... From your current display, I don't know whether I should accept your application or not. " He finished.

Just as I was going to speak, he spoke again.

"Arrogance without power is foolish, but power with arrogance... Is dangerous. I have made my decision, Tachibana is the secretary position open? ", he asked her much to my surprise.

Nodding, she was about to ask his intentions, to which she got a glare.

"Aiden Infinity. Do you want to join the student council? "

Well, this was one of the most likely possibilities. Should I accept and gain power? Or should I refuse and use my own individual strength to get what I want?

The latter is more appealing, but, this isn't normal Cote any more, the existence of the Jojo world exists here.

"If I say yes, then? "

"You will work under the former(Current) secretary, who will teach you how to do her job, then after she graduates you will take her position. "

I took out my hand of the pocket, and put it out for a handshake.

"Although it's troublesome, I accept. Senpai."

Giving me a smile, he took my hand for the hand shake, even though it's out of his character.

And like that, I was inside the student council.

Walking out of the room, I headed to the alley where I had tied up the gardener.

There were more people there now, all of them wearing uniforms of school staff, as they saw me heading there, one of them asked me, why I was going there.

"Hm? Aren't you a student? What's your purpose coming at this place? "

To which I gave him my Student ID which had Flint on the call. After few minutes, he notified the others, and I was guided through.

"I understand. Please follow me. "

Reaching the alley, I used my Stand. 'HA1-HV!' Using it, I reminded the past where I left the gardener tied, in my mind a image played, I saw a black silhouette, and how... He died through his own stand, actually got controlled into doing that.

I noticed something unique though, the moment his stand moved, the black figure got his back slouched, then the moment he couldn't move anymore, his back straightened.

This means, my guess was correct. This is the power of a Jojo Fan! But this makes things complicated, according to the file, the ones he takes over have their mind wiped out... Or, is it a false report? Let's not come to conclusions, there's a cool down on my stand, let's confirm it with that.

Nodding to myself, I followed the traces of the black figure, my stand was able to replay his movements in real time, although I couldn't see his face, as he had covered it with a cap's shadow.

Following it, I found that he had climbed the walls... Using Hamon, I launched myself up too.

"Huh!? Sir, what are you doing!? I know you are a supernatural- Shhhhh! "

Cutting his voice, I climbed up the walls, it was relatively easy, with my body constitution I could remain stuck to the walls for hours.

Reaching a floor, I chose not to enter it through here. Leaving my grip, I fell down to the ground where I landed with ease.

"If you don't mind me asking sir, why did you climb the wall? "

"My stand ability includes tracing stand users. And the traces were attached to the wall, leading me to the- wait, why are your eyes lids dark? "

He didn't answer back... I waited for few seconds, still no response, then... He licked his lips.

(3rd POV)

A powerful organization, called SpeedWagon Foundation, was a car making company, but in reality they were people specializing in helping 'The Joestars', due to the friend of Jonathan Joestar, Speed Wagon.

The first Joestar of the bizzare fate defeated his adopted brother, a vampire who was a result of the 'Stone Mask', thus, Jonathan sacrificed himself. This inspired Jonathan's friend, Speed Wagon, to make an organization in his name to support the Bloodline of Joestars!

The Joestars were cursed with the fate of fending off threats of supernatural, such was their fate. Every Joestar of their generation, had defeated such threats.

Now, Speed wagon was under the current Joestar, Kujo Jotaro, a marine biologist, but actually the strongest stand user in existence, so they call him.

Currently, one of his foes, a serial killer Stand User, 'BloodBath', was in the prestigious school of Japan. He planned on taking revenge on Jotaro after finding the perfect host.

And he had found it, a 16 year old teenager, Aiden Infinity. He had the stand related to heaven, which is not just a rarity but also a strong force which was in rumors.

Blood Bath had the arrow fragment, which he used on many people of this school, but none of them had this 'Heavenly Stand'.

Currently, he was near the very same host, who had suspected him already. So, he used the current body's stand, 'Shade'.

(Aiden POV)

Just as I noticed his licking, I stepped back, using hamon breathing, I readied my body, and with a thrust into the ground, I tackled him, but... I didn't feel like I was successful.

Turning around, I saw, he wasn't there. How confusing, whatever.

*Thump!*

With a punch into the ground, I transferred Hamon into the grass, which quickly turned into flowers. But, that wasn't my intention...

"EEK!? "

'Hamon EMP! '

Turning around where I heard the voice, I found him with a little smoke coming out of his hair, he was standing just above my shadow.

Then, rushing at him, with my stand's vision on of the future along with precision. I did a barrage, which missed?

Damn it! Where is he again!?

*Deep Inhale*

*Deep Exhale*

I can't see him in my vision of past and future! Why!?

*Slash*

"UGH!? "

Turning around, I saw him standing while licking his pocket knife which had my blood...

God dammit. I didn't want to use it this early, I still haven't mastered it yet... Whatever!

Here goes!

*Sizzle*

Using Hamon in my left hand, I concentrated it at my finger tips, noticing this, he disappeared again.

I know what he thought... 'He's charging up an attack! But it wouldn't land if I am not there! ' But no, he's wrong.

"Kekeke, you think your stand will land an attack again? All it has done is shocked me a little. While you have a deep cut in your shoulder, give up. I will take care of your stand and body! " He said while still not being visible to my eyes.

"... Why are you smiling? Don't tell me you are a masochist. "

"Think whatever you want. By the way, want me to predict the last words of the body you are using? "

"... Crazy kid. Sure, tell me, if you are correct in your prediction, I will kill you painlessly. If not, your death will be painful! "

Glancing at my left hand, which was feeling really hot right now, due to the constant stirring of Hamon... I grinned, then spoke.

"Your last word's of this body is, 'How!? A stand can't have this many abilities! ', Got that? "

Bringing up my left hand, I took another deep breath. Then, my hand started to blur a little... Like haze was covering it.

"You were wrong ! Now suffer a painful death !", he said and slashed at me again.

*KRRRRUSTLE!*

His body spinned, and I turned around, actually spinned around, then I hit him with my left hand.

It all occured within the span of 4 seconds. He stopped spinning and took a step back.

"What the-? Hm? You hit me didn't you? Why don't I feel anything? And how did you make me change the direction of my attack? Could it be... Your attack failed!

Hahahahahahaha! What a dumb kid! You said so much about my last words and what not! But in the end you failed! Hahahaha- Huh? You are still grinning? Are you really a masochist? Even I am not that perverted. "

He said, but I just gave a grin, and started laughing. I hadn't laughed this loud for a while, my hands trembled along with my whole body, I had finally let loose of my emotions.

My laughing was very loud, due to hamon taking out impurities from my blood vessels.

'BloodBath' stopped smiling, and actually felt concerned for me.

"H-hey kiddo. It's alright, I won't kill you painfully, don't worry. I was just joking. "

Seeing his concern, my laughs increased, finally the effect I had bestowed on him, showed up. He fell on his knees.

Gasping for breath. He looked up at me.

"You idiot. You really thought I would put my hopes on a failing attack? "

"How!? A stand can't have this many abilities!"

!

"Soon, I will end you along with your stand ability. Remember this moment of despair."

"Gaghrrrr...! "

And like that, I couldn't see his heart beating anymore. 2 wins. 0 losses.
