Yo, author here
I just want to warn you in case you haven't read the synopsis, English is not my native language, so there will be grammatical errors, I will do my best to make everything readable
Also, this is my first story so don't complain if there are many mistakes, I'm not a professional writer, I just decide to make my own story after reading so many webnovels and fanfics
So if you want to leave a comment, be careful, don't criticize something obvious and instead help me improve as a writer
And finally, I don't know what the release schedule will be like, since I have college and work, so my time to write is limited, I would like to do a chapter a day but maybe I can only release one every two or three days, maybe four, and I also thought about creating a Patreon, so that this new hobby helps me financially and I can stay motivated, so if you think it's worth it, you can sign up when I have it, I intend to have at least three chapters advanced, in fact , is two dollars a lot or a little for a subscription? Leave your opinion there
Anyway, that's it, enjoy reading, rejoice and...
See you next time👍

*Sigh...*
Transmigration and reincarnation, pretty cliché plots nowadays, right?
You know, the regular guy dies, meets a god, (presumably a "ROB") gets wishes and boom, becomes dominant, and of course you can't forget the harem, obviously, of course, not all of these stories have a harem, sometimes it's just one girl or none at all (or one guy, I don't judge), but that's just a detail
Anyway, the point is that it's a situation that many weebs, nerds, otakus, whatever the term, would like to happen to themselves
This is indisputable
But maybe I'm an exception - "What do you mean ?", you ask, see, I have my reasons
First of all, i didn't die
Yes, I didn't die, I wasn't struck by lightning, a god didn't kill me by accident nor was I run over by the legendary "truck-kun"
I was in my room, using my computer normally and then poof...I was a baby, in the arms of an unknown woman, in an unknown situation and about to have the biggest panic attack of my life
But now they are just memories, I already accepted my new reality a long time ago, there was nothing I could do, so I could only accept and adapt
But that doesn't change the fact that I was forcibly taken from my old life, my life could have been normal, but I liked it, I had my family, I had my friends, and as tempting as it was to use magic, have superpowers or have a system, it wasn't tempting enough for me to trade for the life I had (unless I was a hundred years old, I mean, I would have lived my whole life already, you know what I mean)
Oh, I'm not complaining or anything, (as much as it may seem) after all I'm in an anime world and that's absurd, seriously, you don't know how strange it was to see people with different colored hair and eyes
Not to mention the supernatural side of things, gods, demons, magic,(magic, bro! Real magic!) and there's fucking touki too, damn, what I wouldn't do to have that
And this is where my second point comes in
I don't have any cheats, no system, no special powers, magic, magical lineage or anything like that, nothing
Yeah, I don't have sacred gear either, at least, until today I have not demonstrated that I have any
So yes, my situation is as bad as it could be, at least for a normal human being, and believe me, I tried, I really tried several times and in different ways to achieve some kind of supernatural power
Magic aside, as I know that to use it requires mathematics, I have no idea how to use it or awaken it, as during all these years I have not felt any trace of mana in me or anything resembling any type of energy , so I'm probably like most humans in that regard and have no talent for it
In the case of touki, I know it's something from youkai and some Hindu deities (I think), and that sairaorg learned it himself, but that's it, just like with magic, I tried different methods and ways of "awakening" or learning, but it didn't come to anything either
In the end, I ended up without any kind of powers, perhaps my memories could be considered a cheat in itself if you look at it from another angle
Which may also not be so good, after all, being aware that the supernatural is real can drive those with weaker minds crazy, in a situation like this, ignorance is truly bliss
In the end, all I could do was condition myself, both physically and mentally, in every possible way and means at my disposal
Weight training, calisthenics, gymnastics, parkour, yoga, winhof, chess, majong, Rubik's cube and the list goes on, basically any type of physical and mental training you can imagine, I've probably done it
Basically the preparation of a super spy, like Agent 47 or John Wick if you prefer
Making it clear that my training was with the available resources I had, I was not trained by the government or I am a genius who learns everything quickly, far from it, I cannot compare myself with these guys
Like any other self-taught person, i had to make do with the resources i had, BUT, compared to ordinary humans, or in this case teenagers, i am much more capable
And summing up everything i've experienced, this leads me here, a classroom, at the kuoh academy, in the kuoh city
Well, what can I say?
My current situation is as follows: I'm stuck in this city and, as much as I'd like to leave, it's not possible, given the situation of my family, or precisely my stepmother
What do you mean? - Well, she was born and raised here, naturally, if I didn't have a good reason, we wouldn't leave here
And yes, I had already tried to talk to them about going to another city, but without a good reason I couldn't convince them
My father would naturally stay with his wife, so in that aspect there was nothing I could do
But I don't necessarily need to come to Kuoh Academy, right? - I could have enrolled in another school, right? - I didn't need to come here
Unfortunately no, it didn't work, why? - well, as if it were some kind of machination of destiny (which I'm sure there is some superior will involved in this) or manipulation of some god, I couldn't enroll in another school, how?
It simply didn't work, I tried, but for some reason I couldn't enroll in another one, the reason is that there were no vacancies, yes, somehow there were no more vacancies for another student, a student with excellent grades and who I believe many schools would love to have in their ranks, but no, it could not be accepted
Isn't it weird ? - Undoubtedly, you understand what I mean now about the machinations of fate or the mischief of some god?
Maybe it was the being that reincarnated me here, either way I have no way of knowing
In short, this is my current situation at school, I'm just another student like any other, I study correctly, I follow the rules, I'm not part of any club and obviously I try not to attract attention in any way possible, which is something I don't I need to try really hard to do it (well, sort of)
I mean, being one of the few foreign students (literally, there are only three) at this school makes you stand out a little, whether you like it or not
So, in short, that's my life so far, nothing special if I say so myself, well, although I don't believe it, maybe things will change in the future...
*RING*
Ah, the halftime signal, it's time to eat
Slowly getting up from the chair while yawning and walking towards the door like the others
However, when leaving and walking a little towards the cafeteria, I come across the sight of an unexpected character, well, more or less, I had seen her before and I know that her room is not very far from mine.
Looking at her now, in person, the only thing that comes to mind is that appearances can be deceiving.
I mean, you would never think that this little girl who is barely five feet tall would have the strength to crush a car.
Setting aside her devil nature, of course, the sight of this girl lifting a car is a bizarre thing to imagine, I mean, even more bizarre than that is the fact that she can basically blow up a human with one punch, it's absurd and besides, yes, as I mentioned before with the differences in appearance in this world, besides the different colored eyes and hair, the beauty of people in this world is also different obviously
Basically the beauty standard rule is higher, beautiful people are even more beautiful here, almost as if it were those AI arts
So you can imagine that koneko toujou or toujou koneko in Japanese, it is very beautiful, on a very impressive level
Seriously, you will only understand if you saw it with your own eyes, but after a while you get used to it, just like in the case of hair and eyes, but that doesn't change the fact that the beauty of girls like hers is.. . how can I say?
It's striking, yes, very precise
With me talking like that it seems like I'm interested in her, doesn't it? - But no, I don't want to go to jail, thank you very much
Yes, I know that, physically speaking, we are at least the same age, however, I know that I am a long way from being a teenager, after all, if you combine my previous and current ages, my "real age" would be 36, so yes , best not
Not that I intended to do anything either, I don't intend to get involved in any way with the school's resident devils, not even with friendship, because the further I am from the supernatural side of the world, the greater my chances of survival, after all, I am only human (although if I'm unlucky I might get attacked by a stray demon or something, it's like I said, it's a miserable situation)
Anyway, I follow my usual path to the cafeteria and, other than a fleeting glance, I don't look any more than necessary.
Arriving at the cafeteria, it was already possible to notice the large number of students coming from all corners.
Whether they are in the first, second or third year, this place is always full, even more so if the food available is yakisoba bread, which for a reason that escapes me is very popular, I've tried it but I didn't find it very impressive, but I think it is just my personal taste, anyway, I'm just going to get my food and go to my usual corner
*Whistle...*let me see what's here, yakisoba bread of course, uhmm..., onigiri, rolls and...Ah, pizza? - unexpected but welcome
Now that I have what I want, it's time to eat
With my five slices of pizza and my carton of orange juice, I head towards my usual spot, and in the meantime, unsurprisingly, I can already see a certain someone sitting there, and in this case, he's the only person I can consider as a friend of this school (in fact he's the only friend I have, yeah yeah very sad)
Genshirou saji or as I call it, Genshirou "The Geh!" Saji, or simply saji, yes he is my friend, how did this happen? - well, it's a long story and I'm too lazy to go into details, but basically I met him before I even entered this school, two years ago, and in an unexpected (and strange) way we ended up becoming friends, and yes, yes, I know what I said about not making friends with demons, but I decided this fagot would be an exception
And between us, when you spend so many years alone, with your only friends being your family, you tend to feel a little lonely, even if you have your family, your family's friendship and the friendship of someone outside of it are very different, (if you don't believe it, ask a psychologist) so yes, I intend to keep this rare specimen (it's irony) as my friend
As I walk to the table, the rare specimen, I mean Saji, sees me."Hey man, you look unhappy, oh right, it's just your usual face"
...male friendship
"Yes, yes, fuck you too"
"Haha ha..."
While the bastard laughs, he stretches out his arm with a closed fist, and I do the same, it's a greeting with a fist and I don't think I need to explain how it is, it's just a habit of ours.
"Pizza? - that doesn't sound very healthy to me, Mr. "I'mOnDiet", aren't you the one who talks so much about good nutrition and how important it is for your health?"
He asks me while raising his eyebrow along with a smile that says "you're doing shit, aren't you?"
"Well, first of all*crunch...*
I say, before taking a bite of a rolled slice
"...First of all, what?"
He says, as his eyebrow lowers and his smile disappears, turning into an expressionless face as he realizes what I'm doing.
"...*munch**munch* I'm chewing..."
Which is, of course, chewing my food while I ignore him and purposely don't finish what I was going to say
"…"
He stares at me without saying a word, his face still expressionless.
"*gulp*As I was saying, firstly, my diet is about gaining mass and not losing it, so it's ok for me to eat high calorie things, secondly *crunch*..."
"...it is serious ?"
He asks, but I ignore him again and continue chewing.
"*crunch*..."
"Secondly, it's called bulking, a process where you mix healthy and not-so-healthy foods to gain muscle mass, so yes, I'm perfectly fine, I mean, just look at my muscles, they don't lie"
I say, as I flex my right bicep, showing off the defined muscles in my arm.
"Right..."
Is his only response as he rolls his eyes, but I know he's jealous
"I know you are jealous of my muscles saji, there is no need to hide it, just admit it openly, come on, you will feel better"
I say to him, with my friendliest smile possible, as if saying "come on my friend, you can trust me", to my face
He stares for a while before snorting.
"*pfft* Are you kidding me? - I don't envy a muscular brain like you, Heh, you should be careful, I heard that if you take anabolic steroids, your balls may shrink and you will become impotent"
He said as he regained his miserable smile again.
"What the hell are you talking about? - I don't take anabolic steroids and you know that, besides, if I did, I'd be bigger than I am now"
This bastard knows I don't take or use anything, he's just trying to piss me off, unfortunately for him, I have years of experience with the internet and the toxic people on it, you don't stand a chance, my friend
"Are you sure? - I heard it's not normal for you to have that level of muscle at such a young age"
He continues, while chewing his food and still maintaining his smile, and then interlocks his fingers in front of his face
"...I was literally the one who told you that, and anyway, you don't need to try too hard saji, it's okay my bro, someday, probably in ten years, you'll be able to have half the results I have, don't worry"
I tell him, while patting his shoulder in a comforting way.
"Huh? - What the fuck-"
Not giving him a chance to speak, I continue
"Anyway, you should try to exercise a little more, you know? - a lot of women like muscular men..."
He tries to interrupt me while I'm still talking
"You can't even be considered a man-"
But I ignore him and continue with what I was saying
"...At the very least, I know your mother likes it"
And I finish with a nod, emphasizing my final sentence
"-yet-Ahn!? - what do you mean my mother likes it, bastard!?"
And that, sirs, is how you win a bullshit contest, unfortunately for little Saji, his inexperience with the toxicity of the internet made him vulnerable to the simplest insults from his mother, *tic**tic*, poor thing
"Hey, bastard! - what do you mean!? - speak!"
While I ignore the poor guy, I take a look around the cafeteria.
"Hey! - don't ignore me-"
Anyway, the cafeteria is already full, the students are in their respective groups and-Ah - Look who is it, if it isn't him, the "great" and "genius" protagonist of this world - Hyodou Issei
