"After leaving the train station, I ran into some teenagers talking, and coincidentally, I overheard that a new gang of delinquents has emerged. And do you know what the leader's name is?" Yuji's aunt asked with a frown, an indication of her mood at that moment.
Yamashita Shisumi is a light-skinned woman with black hair that extends to her waist. With thin eyes, she has an imposing appearance, as well as a clearly fit body. With this combined with her strong personality, makes her a woman not to be angered on a mere whim. Having memories of living with her, Yuji knows well that after irritating her, he should act with caution...
But...
Why on earth is her aura so great?!
Yuji stared at the woman in front of him with cold sweat running down his forehead. With his aunt on a business trip when he had unlocked the ability to see auras, he had never been able to do so with her. But now that she was in front of him, he could see her clearly. And it was huge and dense.
'What the hell? She must be at least a few times stronger than that Kawaragi girl!' Yuji thought as he began to calm down.
"Are you ignoring me, kid?" Shisumi suddenly appeared behind Yuji, the boy feeling the hairs on the back of his neck shiver.
Turning around, the boy jumped back, his breathing heavy from the presence of the woman oppressing him. Yuji felt face to face with a demon, who could kill him without giving him a chance to retaliate.
"Oh, it looks like you've gotten a little strong in the time I've been gone!" Shisumi cracked a smile and crossed his arms. "What happened? Last time, you had no interest in getting strong at all."
'How-I didn't even see her move!" Yuji kept his full focus on his aunt, determined not to lose sight of her. "E-Auntie, that was all a misunder-"
Before Yuji could complete his lie, he was forced to dodge to the side when a fist flew toward him like a cannonball. At this point, the woman who tried to attack him had a vein bulging in her forehead, her eyes gleaming dangerously as she stared at the boy with intensity. "I think you'd better not lie to me, dear nephew."
With his eyes fixed on the woman's fist, Yuji realized that if he took the attack directly, he would probably be on his way to the hospital. Sweat ran down the back of his neck, and he quickly knelt down and propped his forehead on the ground, a gesture often seen for asking forgiveness in Japan.
"I'm sorry! I'll explain everything!"
Well, Yuji would rather surrender to an apology, than be sent to the hospital by his aunt.

In his classroom, Yuji was sitting in his chair with bored eyes. Some bandages were all over his face, attracting the attention of some of his classmates, who were whispering about his condition.
After the discussion with his aunt, the boy explained everything that had happened for him to take over Yggdrasil, leaving aside the fact that he was fighting in a clandestine arena. At first, Shisumi didn't like the idea and gave him a good thrashing for doing so, but after a while, she simply snorted and said, "Do what you want, as long as you don't hurt someone innocent, I won't stop you." Her accepting it didn't ease the pain of the beating, but it did serve to make him relieved that his aunt wouldn't kick him out of the house or something.
After that, Yuji tried to ask why that woman was so strong, but she simply ignored his questions. The boy didn't press further, but something told him that he would know soon, so he didn't think much about it.
"Tomorrow will be the day of the festival!"
"Who are you going with?"
"I'm going to try to invite that girl from first year.... If I'm not mistaken, I heard people calling her Nagatoro."
"Geez, you don't even know her name!"
Yuji listened to some side conversations around the room, the talk about the festival catching his attention. On the day of the festival, the Valhalla fight would take place, and if his interference didn't change the course of things, which it clearly would, events would still occur. He doesn't remember the details that brought about this confrontation, but from what he remembers, it was due to that chubby blond kid getting arrested.
'Thing that didn't happen...' Yuji thought and stood up, walking to the door of the room, ignoring the students' stares at him.
Opening the door and walking out, as he turned down the hallway, Yuji stopped for a second, his mind seeming to process some information he had just heard. Suddenly, his eyes widened, recognition shining in his gaze for a moment before disappearing.
'He said Nagatoro, didn't he? From that anime where the protagonist suffers bullying?' Yuji wondered.
Although not his main taste, Yuji had watched a few animes of other genres, such as romance and comedy. Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san, was one of those he took the time to watch. Having watched it just out of curiosity, the boy was not really interested, at least not enough to remember the plot in detail. He only knew characters like Naoto and Nagatoro. If this Nagatoro was definitely the one in his mind, then the world he was in was definitely a world of mixed anime. The chance that Baki was part of it was high, just the thought of coming face to face with the strongest living son of a bitch in the world was not very appealing. Even though he liked to fight, Yuji was no idiot, he knew his limits, and stopping an earthquake with one punch was not something he could think of doing at the moment.
Besides... That girl Nagatoro, she's not really a character Yuji feels like getting involved with. Sure, there's the fact that she bullying the protagonist to encourage him, but that still leaves a bad taste in Yuji's mouth. Maybe it was coolness on her part, but the boy couldn't like her that much.
As he walked with a relaxed look on his face, the boy didn't have much attention on his path, his eyes focused on the ceiling of the hallway. With that, the boy didn't notice a small figure turning the corner.
'If possible, I will try my best not to get involved with these types of people.... I feel that interfering in these stories will only bring headache.'
Knock
Yuji felt something collide with his torso, he blinked a few times, before his eyes turned downward in confusion.
'Ugh... What are you? An elephant?"
A female voice sounded, Yuji seeing what looked like a girl, sitting on the ground. She looked dizzy from the collision between the two, and just as he was about to help, his vision turned even lower, a glint of recognition appearing in his gaze as his mind froze.
"White." Without any intention, Yuji let the word escape his lips.
This seemed to catch the attention of the girl, who stared at Yuji with confusion. For a moment, she tried to understand why the boy in front of her was completely frozen, her eyes slowly moving down to his legs, seeing his skirt over his belly. When she realized what was happening, it was as if glass shattered directly into her brain, her in an instant reaching up and pulling her skirt down as her face heated up like a kettle.
"V-You-You saw it!" She pointed at Yuji accusingly, her embarrassed expression clear.
Yuji, who regained consciousness at that moment, just coughed and stared at the girl with his calm expression. He pondered whether his mental stamina was so weak that he froze just at a sight like this. In his life, he never had much time to be interested in this sort of thing, so he didn't think he would need to worry about being distracted by something like this, but he realized now
'I need to prepare myself for this kind of situation... I am in an anime world, after all.' In his mind, the memory of a Karura Kure throwing her clothes up in the air came up. 'Or I could easily be captured...'
Facing that boy, who was lost in thought, the little girl was still staring intensely at him. She was ignoring him, and this only served to irritate her even more. At first she was just embarrassed, but now she felt anger towards the boy, for colliding with her and not even apologizing, and above all, seeing her in such a... Vulnerable.
The girl closed her fist, her face going from embarrassed to expressionless in an instant. For putting her in that kind of situation, she would show him what happens to perverts.
Yuji, not noticing the intimidating aura emanating from the girl, suddenly recovered from the situation he was in, the same immediately bowing as a kick passed over his head. The one responsible for the attack, surprised, regained his balance and faced him.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I wasn't paying attention on my way. I'm also sorry for seeing you like that, I didn't mean to, I was just caught by surprise." Yuji spoke quickly, returning to his posture as he faced the girl.
The girl, with a surprised expression, didn't know exactly what to do at that moment. She had just tried to hit him with a high kick, when he bent down and apologized. The girl's mind needed to process a bit, so that she could decide what to do next.
Believing he had resolved the situation, Yuji could see the girl's features more closely, his eyes lingering on her face longer than he would have liked, because he had the feeling he knew her from somewhere.
With dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes, as well as a short stature, it made the girl in front of him really attractive. Also, despite looking thin, Yuji could see that the person in front of him was trained, not at the level of people like him, but she could clearly beat the weakest of her gang, and even last a while with the average ones. Her aura wasn't great, but it was dense, she seemed to have great potential to be a fighter.
But this was not the time to think about someone's potential, that was because Yuji realized who the girl in front of him was about.
'Oh, shit.' Yuji stared at her with inexpressive eyes. 'It's Nagatoro.'
In that situation, while one was thinking about how to deal with the counter-part, the other just wanted to disappear and not meet the person in front of him ever again. Whether it was exaggeration or not, it didn't matter, Yuji simply didn't want contact with the girl in front of him. Although he loved the adrenaline of combat, he appreciated the peaceful moments during the day, especially during school, since no one bothered him.
If this girl decided to make him her target, his peace would flee in fear.
Nagatoro pulling herself together, turned her attention to the boy, and about to say something, she widened her eyes when Yuji suddenly disappeared before her. 'O-What was that?' she wondered. Being a martial arts practitioner, her reflexes were keen, but she wasn't even able to follow a single trace of the boy with her eyes.
"Whew, that was a close one." Yuji, in another hallway, sighed and started walking. He had definitely gotten rid of something nasty.
"I hope I never run into her again."

Festival day, evening.
At the Yggdrasil academy, all the gang members could be seen grouped together in an orderly fashion. The captains, along with the commander, Yuji, stood in front of everyone. All the teenagers on the scene had serious expressions, their eyes gleaming dangerously as their bodies tensed.
"It's been a few weeks now..." Yuji began. "I can see that everyone has improved significantly, a part of them can even stand up to the tops of other gangs. Everyone is stronger, and I'll emphasize what I've been saying in everyone's training: you are no longer street fighting teenagers! From now on, you are fighters! And you will get better and better!"
The commander's words seemed to work, as the members' expression immediately perked up.
"Today, through some information, we discovered a scheme, a fight scheduled to take place between Toman and a gang newly formed by former Moebius members!" Osanai was uncomfortable at the mention of his former gang, but did not show it. "And what gang will we be if we don't take that chance?!"
The tension in the place increased, a teasing smile appearing on the lips of the members, who already understood what was about to happen.
"So, this seems like a great time to hand them something!" Yuji made his way to a table, which was covered by a cloth. "This cost me dearly, so don't waste it!"
He pulled the cloth, revealing a heap of clothes folded in order. The members widened their eyes, gleams of excitement in each one's eyes at the sight of it. "Get your clothes, and let's show the strength of our gang!"
The members walked orderly to get their outfits. The clothes were separated into different sizes, and there were more than enough for everyone. The captains and Yuji had their custom outfits, so they only needed to change clothes, without worrying about picking one up.
The outfit consists of an ordinary black shirt, with a symbol of a Yggdrasil on the back, along with a black sweatshirt, with the same design on the back. In the undergarments, it consists of a white trouser and white boots. The captain's clothes do not differ much, only in a small detail, such as the name of his division written on the chest of his sweatshirt.
The commander's outfit, on the other hand, differs by his long-sleeved black shirt and motorcycle gloves, along with his black shirt with white stripes running down his arm.
With everyone already dressed, Yuji stood in front of the gang members, a dangerous smile on his lips as his eyes glittered strangely. "So... How about we hurry?"
"Yes!"
With a roar from everyone, Yggrasil were ready for a war.
