Chapter 28 - Parting ways

After walking up towards the headmaster's office I couldn't help but have some second thoughts. I knew this was coming, but having it happen so soon was for sure very disturbing.

I knew that one day I would have to part ways with everyone here but for it to happen so soon and right after I started getting attached to them wasn't part of my plans, but I knew that now it was too late. I couldn't do anything about it.

"Mister Amon, I know what happened to your parents and am deeply sorry about that but you should know that in society such comportment isn't tolerated." The school director started talking with a serious voice.

"The act of injuring 9 police officers isn't something we can overlook. You surely already know it but the reason why you're here is to finalize your expulsion. You have probably already been warned but you'll be passed a judgement soon. Even if I hate to say it, you will surely end up in juvenile prison." He said with an emotionless face.

He usually wasn't the type to joke around but even then It was my first time seeing him so serious. All I did was simply nod and agree with what he told me.

"Your judgement will be in 1 month. I would've liked to keep you in the school during that duration but I believe you can understand that it's not possible and that the school's reputation would be at risk if you were to stay any longer. So please sign those papers and leave the school." His tone started turning colder and colder.

"Yes sir." I didn't feel like doing all this paperwork but I did owe him a bit for making things a bit easier for me during my admission. I also don't have any grudge with the school so I don't want to make things difficult for them.

After finalizing my expulsion I left the school. I sent a brief message to both Raku and Shin saying that if they one day ever get in trouble they can always call me and that it was nice meeting them.

It was sad to have to part ways but I knew that this was my own choice. I could've chose a simple life but I believe it to be my responsibility to respect my side of the deal with Adam.

After all the paperwork was done I went to give a final goodbye to everyone in school, many didn't were too scared to even look me in the eyes but I could see that Raku, Chitoge and Onodera all started tearing up.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!" Raku said while on the verge of crying, Marika was by his side comforting him.

"I never had the chance to truly apologize..." Chitoge was also being held by Tsugumi.

"W- Will you still come to our shop...?" Onodera asked with her eyes tearing up the most.

I made sure to try to comfort all of them and say that I'll still text them and that we'd try to meet up during that month since I'd still be free.

"I'll fucking miss you, dumbass." Everyone was in a low mood but the one who was actually the saddest and closest to tearing up was none other than Shu, the guy I consider my best friend.

"I'm glad to have met you." I said to him with a sad smile on my face. I always knew deep down that we'd have to part ways, that's also why I did my best to keep my distances from everyone but now that it happened I can't help but feel depressed.

After saying a final goodbye to everyone I turned around and went back home with my head and shoulders lower than they have ever been. The burden of being different is something I had to shoulder in my past life but I never expected to feel such a familiar feeling in this life.

As soon as I arrived back home I laid flat down on my bed. Today was exhausting. So many changes in such a small amount of time. I had to make new plans, but for now what I truly needed was rest so I went for a little nap.

--------

"Huh??" Right after waking up I realized that what I thought to be a small nap turned into a 16hr sleep, I fell asleep at 3pm and woke up at 6am with the light of the rising sun hitting my eyes through the open window that I forgot to close yesterday.

I somehow couldn't help but feel a bit lost after sleeping so much, it was as if everything that happened yesterday was a dream.

I went to the bathroom and ran my head under the cold water to wake myself up. Doing so reminded me of my first day in this body, but now my plans and goals are totally different.

After what happened yesterday I had to change my plans, I still had 1 month before my trial and going to juvenile jail wasn't really part of my plans, I had to escape before the trial.

I had to make a plan but there were currently too many variables so I had to ask my most trusted assistant for help 'System what will happen to my body once I leave to another world?'

[The host's body will be transported to the other world and thus disappear from this world.]

That's all I needed to know to finalize my choice. In this one month I'll only focus on training at the ryozanpaku dojo and then leave for my first world mission.

In order to grow I also knew that I had to leave everything behind. That might make me an even bigger criminal, but do I really care? Obviously not.

Though it did sound kind of funny and ironic. 'Humanity's guardian will soon be a wanted criminal...'

--------

"Whaaaaatttt??" Both Kenichi's and Miu's jaw dropped after hearing the news of me getting expulsed and probably going to juvenile jail. After going to the dojo I explained the situation to everyone.

"Bahahahaha that's my disciple!!" Sasaki was the proudest one for some reason. His attitude towards me completely shifted.

"So after half a month of refusing to train him now he's your disciple?" Akisame shot him a deadpan look and pointed out his hypocrisy.

Faced with that fact Sasaki didn't reply and only kept laughing at the situation.

"So what are you planning to do?" Kensei asked.

"I will be staying in the dojo for that month and then deal with my own mess myself." I said with a small smile.

"Amon want to train?!" Apachai got excited since I was his main training partner recently. I could already see him shadow boxing while waiting for me to join him in our regular sparring.

But unfortunately I had to disappoint him. "Sorry Apachai but I'd like to learn from Shigure during that month."

Shigure was clearly surprised, she didn't expect me to call her out to be my next master, nor did she expect to get a disciple so soon but she still looked very happy even if her face stayed mostly emotionless.

Simply nodded towards me then left the room while signaling me to follow her, I did like that straightforward attitude she had.

She handed a sword to me and pulled her own sword, I still remembered from the manga how much common sense she lacked so I immediately stopped her. I didn't feel like losing any of my limbs for now.

"Hey shigure sorry I'm a straight guy so I don't like sword fighting hahaha" I tried cracking up a small joke while the sweat on my forehead showed that if this didn't work I might have to run away.

"I don't understand.... What is straight?" She said while tilting her head. I almost burst out laughing after hearing her answer.

"Forget what I said" I replied with an awkward smile.

".... Why... Can't we sword fight?" She looked as lost and as serious as ever.

"Nevermind that was just a dumb joke. It's just that I'm the type who understand better when observing so can you start by showing me the basics of every weapon?" I asked with a smile.

Even if I knew sparring could always be beneficial, I had better plans for myself than getting myself killed today. And other than that I also had something I actually wanted to try out.

Shigure started by showing me the basic stances while holding various weapons. I observed her attentively and trying to follow up behind her.

We did that for the whole day. I observed her for hours, then I tried to replicate her movements while hoping to see how much the [Eyes of the Lord] that I received from Adam would help.

I was ready to train a lot to master all those weapons but I didn't expect to have to spend a whole day just learning basic stances.

'Even after a whole day I don't think I'm anywhere near learning the basic stances of every weapon.'
