Before the chapter begins, I have a challenge for y'all. If anyone can even remotely think why that is the title, yes I want to interact with the readers more don't judge me ok? If anyone can guess it right I'll pick a suggestion they have and make it come true.
(Nobara POV)
Days have passed since that day, the risks of a civil war breaking out are only getting bigger and bigger. From my child-level calculations, I assume there is a 70% chance for it to happen.
Although I have some notion of what the consequences will be, I have no idea of how to deal with them. For example, hunger or someone breaking in trying to steal something, those are likely scenarios. Of course, there are other possible scenarios but these are the ones that I think are more likely to happen.
Currently, I'm at school hanging out with my upper-class friends, aka Shizuku. She isn't my only friend, of course, she's just my best friend, there is a difference okay?
After getting our food from the cafeteria, we both go to our usual hang-out spot, the school backyard per se. It is a place that no one ever goes since it is the most secluded place at the school. It isn't an interesting place, just some grass, random bugs, and a tree with a big shadow.
When we got to the place, we both sat on the ground (after brutally murdering all the bugs) and just stared at the clear sky "Hey Shizuku, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I asked without taking my eyes from the sky.
"I dunno." She answered without hesitance.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty stupid so I don't think I'll be able to get into a college." We both chuckled at her statement "What about you?"
I paused a bit, I had a vague idea of what I wanted my future to be. I would enjoy being a hunter or something that gives money so I can live well and get married to a hot lady model. But honestly, I have no idea. My future is uncertain and confusing, so I don't know what to expect.
"I think I want to be a Hunter." If anyone outside of this conversation heard me saying this, they would think I was joking, but I was dead serious.
"A Hunter? Then how about we make a promise?"
"A promise? What do you have in mind?" I asked curiously.
"We'll take the hunter exam 10 years from now and become Hunters together." Her proposal caught me off guard.
A promise to become Hunters together huh... Seems interesting "Sure, 10 years from now we'll take the exam."
"It's a promise then!" We both did a pinky swear and sealed it with a kiss just like Gon and Mito.
'I just hope that this promise can make you not join the Phantom Troupe and stay with me...' I thought with a sliver of hope that one day I will be something other than friends with my waifu, but I don't think I should be thinking about that right now, we still have a long way to go.
After that conversation, the bell rang and we had to go back to class, and as you know we are in separate classes so I have to go back to the normie friends.
"Everyone sit down, the class is about to start!" The teacher said as we all sat down.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that we have a hot milf teacher, yes, another lucky thing in this life. Well, not 100% lucky since I literally can't do anything with her because you know, I'm a 6-year-old.
'Fuuuuuuuuuuck I'm so bored, I want to awaken my Nen already and get some sick skills. Well, I have nothing better to do so I might just think of what skill I want to create. Hm, with Nen I can basically do anything, so what should I aim for? I have protagonist-level talent so that must mean that I will have something very overpowered, specialist maybe? If so, what if I recreate a stand ability from Jojo? Like Killer Queen, King Crimson, D4C, GER, ugh, I mean, King Crimson is my favorite stand, so I might just as well try to make it."
I paused my thoughts for a while and spaced out "Gah, I did it again, how could I replicate King Crimson? Skip and erase time so only I can remember what happened, plus not being affected by anything, ah there's Epitaph too, damn this is going to be hard. So if I want to create the stand I assume I'll have to use Specialization for the time erase and Epitaph, Emission to detach aura from the body, and Conjuration to create it, Manipulation to control the stand, Enhancement to increase it's and my strength, that is assuming I am a specialist if I'm not then I have no idea what I'm going to do. Oh damn it, I forgot about the essential, I need to think of a concept of how the ability will work, or rather "create" my own terms for the skill to visualize it better. Let's see, King Crimson essentially skips time and does his thing, but let's make a more logical and different explanation from the wiki."
I gave myself a small pause to brainstorm how it would work, and because the paragraph was too long. After around 5 minutes of thinking I came up with something.
"Hmmm, thank you my big brain, thank you, I feel so smart right now. *cough cough* So I will say that King Crimson detaches himself from time and enters some kind of alternative world where he can see and do normal things, but can't interact with anything. In this time he is separated, he can see Epitaph just like his other forms, but he can see it for longer. I think that's pretty much it, meh I can think about that shit later, now I sleep...." I thought as I laid at the table and slept...
(Sometime later)
School is finally over and I'm on my way home with my parents. Everything was normal except for some random smoke I saw at some spots in the city, but they just ignored it and continued driving.
"Fuck, it is finally arriving in Morioh, this is quite thrilling but yet scary, I've never been in a civil war, but I can imagine it is very bad, I can even lose everything I have except my life, imagine me, this pretty girl living in the streets or something, that wouldn't be cool at all. Meh, I'm sure nothing bad is going to happen."
Or so I thought, little did I know that the tide was coming to destroy my little castle....
