The world seemed to lose colour, like the relentless storm outside.
He wondered if he had taken his clothes inside from the rain while the teacher's lips sprayed saliva over his clean blazer.
"Because of his violent temperament, a member of staff is in hospital."
A lone student stands in silence, unable to speak. Once again, they misunderstood the features of his father to blame.
But he was allegedly molesting a second-year student.
"My student was just trying to protect her!"
His mother is a local of Neo Tokyo, and his father is from Europa.
"No matter the student's intentions, he assaulted a member of the teaching staff! His punishment must be strict."
"Expulsion!"
Soon after the world blurred, the friends he held dear and helped faded into the shadows.
'Well, there's no other option. I will leave for another city. Why keep contact with a thug?' he told himself bitterly, as the girl he saved and her boyfriend, his only friend, didn't bother to say goodbye.
The student himself didn't seem too affected—recently, he lost his mother to illness.
Now alone, he had no protection from the adult world, so they expelled him.
He held a small hope in his chest that he would hold back next time and create a better school life.
'Maybe this time it will be different.'
So he wished.
***
In a small classroom with simple features and amenities, a rowdy group of twenty-five people gossiped about the rumoured transfer student to their class, 3-C.
A beautiful girl with black hair and a box-cut fringe sat on a desk in a skirt shorter than the other girls and gossiped with the famous members of the class.
Member of the judo club, football club, kendo club and drama club.
"Hey, did you hear the new transfer student is the son of a yakuza boss? He almost killed his teacher and got sent here to avoid jail."
"Woah? I guess Erika is rich, so she learns these things fast."
"Haha, but isn't it scary if he's like that? Should I get my dad to watch him?" Fuuka Suzuhara, the daughter of the local police chief, asked with a snarky smirk on her lips.
"Heh... I bet I could crush him." The Judo club captain Kenta Suzuki boasted while rubbing his skinhead with a loud chuckle.
Beside Kenta stood Yuki Ito, the Vice-Captain of the Kendo Club, a rather handsome boy with glasses and a more pretty face than rugged.
Finally, the star of the show, Haruki Tanaka, the football captain, is good-looking, charming and devoted. Everyone has known about his pursuit of Princess Erika for three years.
"But his name is sexy... Ryuji Vincenzo." Erika turned her phone and showed a picture of someone walking down the road in a fashionable outfit, his back tall and face.
It was handsome, maybe a 10/10, if not for his fierce eyes and nose that made him look like a gangster or mafia member, lowering it for most women.
His clothes were high-level brands from a European designer.
Erika, the daughter of a wealthy family, instantly knew he wasn't just some 'delinquent' when she saw his look and name.
But it was fun to act oblivious and see if anyone would destroy themselves.
"Hey, isn't he kind of sexy?" Fuuka said in a low voice.
"Tsk, he's just a blond yank, right? Who cares? I bet he's all talk." Yuki hated Fuuka's words about another guy.
Out of jealousy, he wanted to grasp his kendo stick and smash someone he didn't know.
The next moment, the door slammed open as a figure entered—with long blond silky hair; she paced towards her desk with several books all placed underneath her oversized breasts, crushing them slightly.
Her attractive body attracted many males, while the girls envied her proportions.
"Alright, everyone, there's some special news today~ so get to your seats and stop talking. Or Miss Sakurai will give double homework all week~ Fufu."
"Is the teacher finally getting married?"
"Did someone mistake the teacher for a teenager and ask her to sleep with them?"
"Oi, mind your manners! It's about a new friend who will join us today. His name is--"
[Located target area - Summoning co-ordinates 556631569]
—Princess, we have found the location the goddess gave us!
[Number of locked targets - 27 - Error! Extra Detected! Reconfigure?]
—There is no time, princess. We must continue!
[Summoning process engaged]
Brilliant silver and golden lights formed under the flooring of the building, causing it to look like a small light flashing under the classroom of 3-C to shine slightly.
Thus, nobody even noticed.
"Ryuji Vincenzo, please come inside and greet your new classmates!"
The ground trembled as the teacher called out the transfer student's name.
The entire world shook once Ryuji entered the room as the walls cracked. Pictures and awards over the past years dropped, shattering the glass of many pictures as people gripped their desks and cried out.
"Kya!?"
"Is this the power of the delinquent!?"
"Shit... the floor is going to fall apart!"
"Everyone, don't panic!"
[Fifteen seconds until the summoning ends]
Ryuji felt the floor was strange but unfazed by the chaos surrounding him. He was eager to meet new friends and make a fresh start this time.
He flipped his hair back—the narrow gangster-like eyes opened as much as possible as he bowed to the class and began greeting.
However, the moment he stood and prepared for his greeting... The world began to transform.
[Summoning complete!]
[Transferring NOW!]
The entire room began to transform.
Because it happened so suddenly the students, everyone felt dazed. The shift from classroom to castle background was slow, and the strange stone walls began to appear.
However, to Ryuji, the change happened even slower, as he still saw his classmates sitting down, like the transfer didn't start yet.
Thus, he was unaware of the magical alteration as the world shifted and transformed. He stood before his new classmates, who were still adjusting to the unusual surroundings and gave his self-introduction.
To him, they were a few steps away, all looking at him with bright eyes, yet to them, Ryuji stood several metres away, with a fox-eared maid standing beside him.
"Yo, everyone!" Ryuji's voice rang out, cutting through the residual echoes of the summoning.
Full of curiosity and a hint of mischief, his eyes scanned the unfamiliar faces. "My name's Ryuji. I'm just your run-of-the-mill transfer student."
'It's strange... this isn't a classroom—what happened?!'
The hazy image of an enormous castle with white and grey stone walls and a marble floor. Then, an expensive royal red carpet leading to an elevated throne appeared. Once clear, the entire room looked like something from a fantasy novel.
A handsome king and queen sat on the throne, and an exhausted princess stood ahead on a strange altar with five other females, all panting.
However, since he came this far, he refused to stop. Ryuji scratched the back of his head with a carefree smile. "I might look rough around the edges, but I promise I'm not here to wreck the joint. Well, not entirely." He chuckled, attempting to break the tension.
"Let's make the best of this! I look forward to working with all of you."
Ryuji could only wonder what happened after finishing his speech. He felt a sense of confusion and thought the scene had changed. Ryuji felt overwhelmed by what happened. In a state of complete denial, rather, he didn't understand what was going on.
Then, the strange male wearing a crown sitting on the throne spread his arms and called out.
"WELCOME HEROES!"
His voice was met with the confused cries of several students now paying attention to the sudden changes and snapping out of their current daze.
"Eh? What!?"
"What Heroes? Where the hell are we?"
"Send us back!"
'Is this another world... I don't understand how this could happen. However... I won't complain.'
The students and Ryuji felt overwhelmed. Nobody knew what awaited them, and with the king appearing, the future wouldn't be an easy one.
Though after the life he left in the other world. Ryuji only felt happy to have a second chance.
'Mother. I will do my best this time. Watch over me! Even with my bad luck, I will definitely make friends this time!'
The king looked confused, his eyes gazing over the students before landing on Ryuji. He showed a strange glance before his face became dark, and he turned away and whispered to the blonde knight beside him.
"Hmmm? Why is there an extra one? We only summoned Twenty-Six!" the king's voice bellowed again, causing the students to feel a sudden heavy aura that forced most of them to kneel.
This aura seemed to be something like magic, but it didn't affect Ryuji, who felt worried about the gaze with slight hostility from the king earlier.
'Why did it feel like he saw a ghost?'
