Chapter 38 - It's 2095 and they're still using chopsticks

[Before any misunderstandings happen, I will say this, MC's main body is at DxD with his wives and every time he splits his soul and gets another body, they're going to merge once he comes back from wherever he is, this soul splitting is to just say he doesn't care if he dies since it's not his original body anyway but in the end when he comes back from Irregular at Magic High school his two bodies are going to merge and leave just one body]

Fujimaru Ritsuka, an orphan with a considerable magic talent that made his friends and teachers question if he was some bastard child of someone in the Ten Master Clans.

He worked bitterly as he saved money for his first CAD, don't get him wrong normal CADs are relatively cheap for a family to afford but he's an orphan and while he worked, at the same time he had to make time for his school and lessons under Kokonoe Yakumo hence his limited time.

The young man does not know why did Kokonoe sensei literally got him off the side of the road and enrolled him in his Dojo without wanting anything in return and when he asked him about it he just said "you're finally waking up and surprise egg about to hatch" but he's still happy about being able to learn at his dojo and won't waste the opportunity.

Now Fujimaru is applying for First Magic High School thanks to his hard work and talent, he surprised everyone with his talent and have been trying to lay low since talented people get "recruited" into Ten Master Clans and somehow he's able to sense that's not good at all.

He gets some warning like a sixth sense whenever he's about to get in danger but he just chalked it up to his paranoia

After all, it's not paranoia if they're out to get him right? That was the saying, right? He is sane, right?

He is hoping to get accepted since this school is generally focused on magical research unlike Third High who is focusing on combat but First High generally better than other High Schools in his opinion.

Not that he's bad at combat but why get seek trouble when one can avoid it right?

He is looking forward to the entrance test where they finally chose who's going to attend.

It's a privilege, after all, they only get 200 students.

Once our lonely magician in training gets to home, he quickly makes a light meal and sets materials for his late-night meal, he always had a big appetite, it caused many problems for him since it was pretty embarrassing to eat food that can feed a family of three by his own.

Kokonoe sensei said something about chakra and ancient magic but honestly, Fujimaru was skeptical about ancient magic that's always running on the back.

He heard about supernatural powers but if he had one it would be easy to use, unlike this chakra stuff.

He even told it to his sensei but the man just rolled on the ground while laughing and told him not to worry about it.

Since it's not dangerous to his body if left alone Ritsuka didn't do anything with his Chakra even the sound of it comes weird to him.

As our MC is eating his meal, he suddenly stopped and dropped his chopsticks and cursed.

"It's god damned 2095 and they're still using chopsticks I am sick of it dammit, not like I didn't grow up in Japan but why bother with it while you have mighty spoon and fork" 

As our newly awakened MC got himself a spoon through projection he can't help but mutter.

"It seems the transition wasn't smooth as I hoped Yakumo is on my ass, well he won't do anything unless I am a threat to Japan or World. We'll see how it goes not like dying here would kill me permanently."

Our MC continued to eat his meals and no one has realized that the innocent 15-year-old who wanted to explore magic was no more.

Not even the Magician himself didn't know if this is for the better or worse but he knew if he was planning on marrying Saegusa Mayumi, he needs to work harder than this.

He planned on trying to marry her before coming here but apparently, his previous self had a crush on her thanks to her being a celebrity and who's he to ignore such a desire I mean he just needs to be the best and act mysteriously it worked for Tatsuya it should work for him.

Thankfully he just awakened his cheat skills.

I washed up and started running towards the Dojo at 6 AM, SIX FUCKING IN THE MORNING, I had to wake up at 5.30 AM just to get running at 6, it's not an hour I ever get up.

Thankfully my body is used to such routine and I just let my body do it's routine alongside self-hypnosis to keep myself from going back to sleep.

*Jazz music stops*

Wait why do I even need sleep Cortana should be able to handle that?

'Cortana, why am I sleep deprived?'

[Plot convince? Sorry, my Physical body that's tied to your body is in the main body I am only tied to your soul here so I can't help with brain functions]

That's fine I guess...

*Jazz music continues*

I mean today is the day I am going for the entrance exam and I am still being expected at the Dojo.

Let's hope Yakumo won't straight try to exorcise my ass claiming I got possessed or something.

My old self was in this guy's dojo ever since he knew himself, it's commendable that he managed to leave the orphanage at this age.

Although drawing web manga wasn't the occupation I was expecting, turns out I can draw, I also wasn't expecting my old self to draw One Piece.

I never read that manga it's ridiculous and the plot just flows into my head it almost feels like I am coming up with this stuff.

[It's bleeding effect Master] What is this Assassin's Creed?

'How's your situation Cortana?'

[Muddy but I have most of my functions I should be able to get to hundred percent once I get an update from this world]

'What's going to happen to my main body by the way?'

[We will just time travel to one day after leaving otherwise you might just troll Great Red in your boredom then you two will just merge back since you two are the same]

'True… True…'

[He didn't even deny it]

'We both know I passed the last line after Naruto World somehow, I have been getting more unstable ever since.'

[Maybe it's chakra?]

'Let's do a full scan after you upgrade yourself and I make sure Ultimatrix fits as a Personal CAD.'

[Got It, master, it's good to have you saner.]

'What about my magic circuits, I didn't use them for that projection and it was harder to do, heh projection being hard who would have thought I would see this day'

[It seems you didn't use your magic circuits, Master, you used the Magic Calculation Area, it's similar to circuits but it seems inferior.]

Hearing this I looked into myself indeed circuits that are reaching from my soul to this body are closed but thanks to upgrade Ophis made my circuits did not atrophy.

With a mental flex I opened them and enjoyed the sensation, Chakra is supporting my physical body and I am used to pain at this point so the discomfort of initial awakening didn't happen.

Kokonoe Yakumo is a man of considerable strength he is the heir of an ancient magic clan he's basically modern day shinobi and he is actually strong enough to take on Tatsuya at taijutsu.

Well he was able to do that but Tatsuya is getting stronger each day and will surpass him one day, thankfully I am not amongst the cannon fodder army Tatsuya beats every other day before reaching Yakumo.

Anyway, Yakumo is also a respected information broker thanks to his stealth techniques, his connections and his trained ninjas, being a shinobi here is totally different from Naruto version, he has many connections to Japan's high society that can even slap Ten Master Clans whenever they get out of control.

This is what happens magic becomes mainstream, extreme control over who does what with their strength.

Before it was arms race and now it's magic advancement.

Also, Yakumo is one of the lines of defense of the country when something army can't handle pops up like watching over Miyuki so Tatsuya won't blow up the planet.

It now also includes me, since my amateur ass wasn't able to reincarnate properly.

The day at Dojo went as I remembered, do your katas have your sparring while Yakumo watches and listens to his advice on what you're doing wrong and try to fix it.

It was going all and well until I got summoned to talk with Yakumo himself, this would have overjoyed my previous self but now it just rings alarm bells.

Thankfully there's no precognition warning me.

This guy has been watching me ever since orphanage so he must've noticed something about me that seemed off.

Anyway, I followed my senior disciples who are also highly trained ninjas that can murder armies in silence.

Yakumo's own place in the temple is gloomy at best since it's mostly dark and lit by small candles, it creates a mysterious atmosphere.

I sat across Yakumo after greeting him.

"So, little Fujimaru I was expecting a devil or something like that out of that egg but it seems you didn't change much after awakening."

Yakumo says with a sly smile, this is his trademark smile that hides his emotions.

"Well, there are certain people that would call me devil but I am mostly human sensei"

"Ah which one of us don't have such nicknames but I am really curious about what you did to reach this condition"

"Nothing just trying out a Reincarnation technique, the soul is mine I just locked my memories so they were protected and they got unlocked when my body is at proper age"

"That's quite impressive since you're reincarnated do you have anything from the past, I am really interested in antiques."

"Who said I am even from this world, you're thinking too small sensei, there are worlds full of demons and spirits it's normal for other worlds to exist"

"Oh!? Then may I ask what made you choose this world?"

"Magic technology seemed more advanced from my initial scans but now that I am here it wasn't that different"

"Is that the reason you're talking to me?"

"Yes, I rather deal with you than those old monsters"

"Hahaha you flatter me but what makes you think I won't just torture information out of you?"

"You're a rational person, if someone has even moderate control over reincarnation that means they're not your regular Magician, I have no ill intent towards this world. I would even defend Japan while I am staying, I just want relative peace"

"Hmm that can be done but I will have more questions in the future, please do answer them, are you still going to First High?"

"Well, of course, that was the goal in the first place"

"Huh? Why?"

"To follow the plot sensei I merely want to follow the plot" maybe change some things.

After I said my piece I left the temple, they won't hunt me down until I give them a reason for it that's fine with me.

I also don't mind it much since I have virtually nothing to lose here. Now I need to get to the entrance exams let's hope I won't be late.
