Chapter 2 - Strongest Mage

Strongest Mage...

This is the fantasy/Romance comedy manga/anime/visual novel. Because of its popularity, from a novel to manga, then anime and visual novel.

The main thing in this story was the fight between monsters, the romance between heroines, and comedy. Because of its good harem plot and the interesting battle, and overpowered mc, it gained many recognizations.

Many people liked the heroine and sub-heroines. But I was different, I like the character, Sei-chan. She is not a heroine, nor any important character. She was just the filler character but with little more importance.

She was a loner. Her beauty displayed in the anime was an average girl, not too beautiful nor cute. But there was something about her that attracted me. Her courage.

She is known as the most unfortunate or unluckiest girl in the whole series. Nobody even stays with her much less talk to her.

She is cursed with unluck. If she does anything, she always makes mistakes. If she goes on a monster-hunting quest, many monsters got attracted to her and she never returns normal, and always has wounds in her body.

The unluck is not only with her, if anyone even gets even close to her, then they also get her curse. I am not talking about relation, if anyone even got a little bit close to her physically, then they also get her unluck.

Because of that everyone never gets close to her. Someone tried to bully her, but they get more trouble, I mean, they get 100 times more trouble than they gave to her.

But I like her. The moment I saw her, I fell in love. I didn't know myself that I was that much attracted to her.

But now, I have confessed my feelings and all my regrets have vanished. Now, I can peacefully come back to reality.

...

Or so I thought but...

"I can't return... Haha..."

I laughed. I don't even know what was I feeling, but I am 50% sure this is a reality, and to prove this I even pinch, not only pinch but even bite my hands.

And you know what, its hurts. It's hurt totally, I can even feel hunger, tiredness and now I am back to my sense, I can even feel embarrassed.

'If this is reality then...'

I remember saying those bold things to Sei-chan.

"WHAT?!!!"

I shouted. Everyone glanced at me but they return to their business.

But, I... My whole face burned up, I could even feel my cheeks being red.

"I just... I just said those embarrassing things to her!!"

I murmured. I don't regret saying those things... But... I am too embarrassed now. I am not a bold person, I have never even said I like you to anyone.

And... I

I-I-I... I am not sure what to do.

Let forget about my embarrassing words, if she rejects me then... What would I do?! I totally made a bad impression, didn't I?

"Ha!"

I sighed.

I remember this scene. This is the monster-slaying quest. This quest doesn't feature MC, and so it wasn't totally displayed in anime.

MC, or Haruto Ishigami, is on a different quest. And, from the looks of it, I am in the body of his best friend... Hiroto Sasaki.

'I need to return to the camp.'

I thought. Every group has their own camp, and groups are separated to get the students to do teamwork and learn more about co-operation and co-ordination. The academy is soo tough that they don't even care if their students die.

This world revolves on strong lives and weak dies, so even families don't care about their sons/daughters. If they do, then they don't send those to this academy.

With that, I walked towards my camp, still a little unsure of how to talk with Sei-chan. But I guess, I should try to make her fall in love with me.

*********

"Ha! Ha!"

I breathe heavily. My heart is throbbing heavily.

'I love you!'

"Uwaa!"

I remember his voice clearly. His words of love. He confessed directly to me without caring about my curse.

'I will make you happy!'

"Uuuu!"

My face burns up the moment I remember his words. I have never ever got confessed in my whole life, so I don't know how to deal with his.

I never even had friends, so how can I even dream of having a boyfriend.

'Don't he care about himself? If he stays with me, then he will get in trouble.'

I know, I am cursed, and it is my fate to be lonely. I don't want to trouble him, but...

'I will protect you forever!'

His words made me happy. No one has ever told me those words, not even my parents. I don't even know what friendship is, let alone love.

I don't know how to handle these things.

'If I only had a friend...'

Then I can share this with her and even ask for advice.

'Ha! I shouldn't remember sad things.'

I should probably find words to reject him. Not I have ever rejected anyone, but if he sticks with me then he will get in trouble. Even if he doesn't care about that, I care. I don't want to hurt anyone... I will feel guilty and... sad.

My face loosens up and I feel like crying.

Can't I be a little bit selfish... No, not after I remember that thing. I don't want others to suffer... just because of me...

Tup!

A drop of tear dripped in my hands. But I manage myself not to cry. I just have to reject him and make my distance for 2 days and everything will go back to normal.

I know it.

I pump my fist as I made a decision. But, my heart aches a bit. Not sure, but his smiling face, his face of saying those embarrassing things, and his saying me 'I love you' those things are still reflected in my heart.

And I remember every bit of his words.

"Uwa!!"

This is hard!

***************************

Hiroto is dead set on making Sei-chan in love with him and Sei-chan decided to reject him... So, what will happen? Can Hiroto be with Sei-chan or she will push him.

Not sure, but with that words, Hiroto's and Sei's fate have interconnected and they can't separate even if they want to.

And a story of a boy with unrequited love and a girl with worst luck... begins!
