「Who would have thought, you of all people would do this..」
Deep underground Kavearel empires guild prison Nikita sensei looks at me in disgust and disappointment.
My face and body bruised to the point you wouldn't even recognize me. Inside this dungeon with damp and cold stone walls I am held as a prisoner.
Accused of a crime I didn't do or wouldn't even think of doing.
The heavy atmosphere adds infinitely to the weight of the iron collar placed on my neck as well as the metal chains and shackles clamped onto my limbs.
Sensei stands on the other side of the iron bars of my cell.
「I...it.. it.wa..wasn't m-- me.」
「How much longer will you deny your actions? There was clear evidence it was you. I've known Risa as my student for years and she would never lie about this things.」
「I-...Wou-..would never do...do That!.」
「 I've had enough. You were given a chance to prove yourself innocent but still you failed
.」
Lets turn back time to how we are even here and why I'm imprisoned though it may take a while.
March 23rd of the year twenty-twenty. In Japan, the land of the rising sun. Like any other weekday I was headed to school.
This 20 minute walk is what I like to call the death march. Everytime I walk into school everyones eyes just become glued to me. It doesn't bother me but after quite sometime it just becomes irritating. As for the reason I'll get to that later.
I just moved here to japan about two months ago because of the death of both of my parents. We were living in a very dangerous area and they were mistaken for someone else.
Aunt Lisa, my fathers cousin, decided to adopt me. She moved here 2 years ago and got married to a man whose wife died giving birth to their daughter.
He's really nice and he treats me like his own son. Luckily there's no adjustments to be made since I met him and his daugter when they visited the Philippines. She is older than me by 1 year.
Akari, my step-sister, is really nice. As expected from the upraising of a good man.
「Hey, how is japan for you so far?」
「Not that bad.. I like it here. Though I'm not quite used to the language and culture yet.」
「Thats alright I'll teach you if you want.」
「Really? Thanks, that would be great.. you're really kind.」
「Me? Hmm.. nah not really... I'm quite difficult to approach according to most people.」
「Eh..? I can't understand why though..? I mean.. come on, just look at you. You give off that friendly vibe.」
「I'm not like this with everybody. I'm more reserved when they are not family. Well were here goodluck again with your classes!」
「Thanks, you too.」
As we approach the school gate the sakura leaves make the atmosphere feel light and sureal. To be honest though my allergies are acting up.
Akaris waist length black hair flutters in the cool breeze as she skips ahead of me. The sweet scent of her shampoo and the smell of spring mixes.
"""Tch... He's here again that guy..*Speaks Japanese**Can't be understood by Kenjie*"""
Like I was talking about, everyones eyes become glued to me. The reason would be as you would guess is because of Akari.
She mentioned that most people find her difficult to approach and by most she meant the boys.
The girls look at her as their model. A school Idol if you will. The girls just fangirl over her.
Among almost all the boys I'm the only one who talks casually with her that she responds with emotion and interest.
I remember the time we first met. She was also really shy. She doesn't let her emotions flow freely thus making interaction with her feel awkward. Imagine a business meeting. Thats how she is, really formal.
She walks off and joins the rest of the girls to their classrooms. I on the other hand don't have many friends.
I walk towards my classroom alone. I look around and I can't understand much of what the people are saying.
The death of my parents still feel unreal. At random moments my eyes suddenly feel heavy and I start tearing up. I feel really sad but crying over them won't help me at all.
I walk into the classroom and everyone falls silent. This part doesn't bother me in fact I find it amusing.
Just imagine, a loud room filled with boisterous students immediately shut up when you enter. Its as if I'm a feared and respected person. But damn.. their eyes are like knives piercing their way as if trying to kill my soul.
I walk towards my seat near the window. I sit down, put my bag on the desk and lie my head on it.
I'm alright with this. Atleast they don't try messing with me for real.
Just when I was thinking that for the first time in 2 months I guess their patience just reached its end. Someone kicks the feet of my desk startling me and causing my bag to fall on the floor.
I disregard them and tried to reach for my bag but they kick it away.
「Hey you! Why don't you tell us why you're always with Akari senpai? 」
I look up to see the foolish faces of the guys wanting trouble.
Daisuke Shinkai, Shibahara Shouta, and Tahashiba Nobori students of 2nd year highschool, class 3. I'm in class 1.
「Forgive my impoliteness but why does that concern you?」
「Tch..*Speaks japanese*Teme! Konoyaro!*」
Oh my goodness... He just started to spew japanese all over the place. If I'm not mistaken tongue clicking is disrespectful here. I guess he's really mad about me getting close to Akari.
If you're wondering why I don't call her onee-chan is because she doesn't like me calling her that or rather she's not used to it.
「English please.. I'm sorry but Akari is still teaching me and I'm still quite not used to japanese yet. 」
「You komu hiro ando nuto nowu japanese?」
Shibahara-san speaks from behind the two and talks in some crooked english. But props to him it still sounds pretty good.
「*Kenjie in Japanese* Well, there are some unavoidable circumstances... And Akari is my sister.」
「Hmm...」
They turn around and walk out of our classroom. As soon as they got out the first bell that signals the beginning of the day pulls everyones focus to our teacher.
Nikita sensei looks as beautiful as ever. They say falling in love with a teacher is against etiqute but I say so what!? Just kidding...
Well... not like I can do anything about it. Growing up my mom disliked the thought of me having a girlfriend so early. Father on the other hand makes tons of jokes about how the most important parts of my relationships will be a complete mess. Looking back at the times I spent with them I still can't believe they are gone.
Nikita senseis bobcat styled brown hair, Black glasses and sharp almond shaped eyes increases her charm as a strict teacher. Her figure is amazing with curves at all the right places.
The class and the classes after that ends quickly with my thoughts all over the place and lunch break begins.
And as always for the past months Akari comes to our classroom because she forgets to hand me my lunch.
We sit infront of each other and eat lunch together. I can feel the violent gazes not just from the room but also the hallway.
Guys from all school years know Akari and likes her for her exellence in sports and academics. Her grandfather owns a dojo and she practices the Hashimoto style. Her kendo club has participated in national league championships and she's the best in all of Tokyo.
A girl or more specifically her bestfriend Yukino-chan joins us. She is one of the few people who I'm close with and she is also very cute.
「Yo! Kenjie-kun, He he You would think a person would avoid the source of the peoples hatred from himself but you're different, I see... 」
She giggles and looks at me in curiousity.
「Why should I avoid Akari for my sake? That would be selfish wouldn't it?」
Akari blushed knowing I'm enduring the people's hatred for her. I don't think that way though. I don't really care if anyone likes me or not but it's those few people who I care about that I avoid to disappoint.
「Thats great! Thats why I like you.」
She grabs me by the neck in a choke hold and rubs my head with her knuckles.
「Hey! stop it!」
She continous to rub my head and the burning sensation grows painful by the second.
Three familiar faces stand just outside of our classroom and looks at me enjoying lunch with a gentle beauty and being bullied by a muscular cutie.
I sigh just thinking about how life will be for me from now on.
「I just hope I don't have to endure more than this.」
Out of no where my mind grew weak as my vision dulls. The whole classroom and hallway fell silent and in a blink of an eye everyone disappeared. Not long after I fell and collapsed on the floor.
Unknown to me, japan and the whole world became interested and were shocked to hear that multiple people disappeared without a trace. Reports and investigations didn't stop.
