From the moment he started taking his medication, the world seemed to lose colour, becoming a relentless downpour that never ended.

Grey skies filled the distant horizon, blocking all sunlight. 

Ryuji wondered to himself...

'Did I bring my clothes inside today?' 

Would the rain start before he got home? Maybe he might get lucky. 

'Well... I guess I should focus...' 

Currently, Ryuji Vincenzo was standing silently and listening to his teacher berate him, demean him and spray his face with foul-smelling saliva. 

"Because of your violent and reckless temperament, and actions which involve assault, theft, sexual assault and putting another member of staff in hospital. There is nothing else that can be said in your defence."

'Two lies, and one was self-defence.' Ryuji repeated in his mind, gazing at the tall teacher with his thinning hair and ugly moustache.

'The sex was consensual.'

Though she was his friend's girlfriend, which he felt a little awkward about.

Meanwhile, Ryuji found this whole thing pointless... 

He placed his hands in his pants while listening to a group of teachers scold him.

Ryuji's gaze narrowed, showing a dull and lifeless expression, as if he didn't understand or lacked empathy for his actions.

"I cannot believe we have trash like him at our school!" 

'Shut up, fat ass... I can't believe you are a P.E teacher.' Ryuji thought while glaring at the short male pointing at him. If not for the situation, he might have gone berserk. 

"My student was just trying to protect her!" 

One of the few teachers who cared about honesty and justice...

Though this was her second year after passing her exams and becoming qualified. 

'A rare good egg, the system will turn her into a bitch.'

However, she didn't have the power to fight against these old raccoons and foxes who knew the game inside out. 

'They always had a problem with me because of my parents... one from Neo Tokyo and a known gangster, while my dad was never here and lived in Europa.'

"No matter the student's intentions, he assaulted a member of the teaching staff! His punishment must be strict."

"Expulsion!"

'Two teachers that I didn't recognise joined in.' 

One with short black hair and a strict face, and his build was like an athlete with wide shoulders and a narrow waist, while the second one had a dull face with no particular features that made him noticeable.

'The first guy is quite handsome, fuck this guy...'

Though it might be a little hypocritical, Ryuji hated handsome men other than him.

But his fate, decided in this simple moment, meant that in the near future he would be kicked out of this school because of an annoying teacher who tried to molest a student.

'Well, there's no other option.'

Thankfully, there was another choice of school, and they already accepted his transfer. 'Oh... the power of money feels so good! Dad, you're never here, but thanks.' 

A sarcastic thought, the absence of his father was both a trauma and benefit for Ryuji.

He didn't know what attracted him, but after being betrayed by someone he saw as a friend, Ryuji didn't have any lingering affection for this school.

'Not like I can blame him. I slept with his woman... a lot.'

Though deep in his chest, he hoped that the new medication he would start taking soon would help curb his erratic actions and hypersexuality.

'I'm not a psychopath...'

Ryuji closed his eyes and endured the sermon and only wished his future school would be different.

—

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.

They wondered if it would be a handsome boy or a pretty girl. 

"So, did you hear that it's going to be a hot, but violent guy from the south?"

A beautiful woman with black hair and a box-cut fringe spread her arms while speaking as she sat on a desk wearing a short skirt, surrounded by several people.

"Seriously? No way!"

"I'm serious—my dad got the files the other day!"

This woman was a member of the Judo club, the captain Fuuka Suzuhara, the daughter of the city's police chief.

"I heard that he's some kind of thug, the son of a former yakuza boss. He even almost killed someone, and attempted to rape a female student."

A blonde girl with silky skin and vivid blue eyes commented, but the way the others looked and treated her made it obvious she was the queen bee in this class.

"Wow! As expected of Erika and her rich family, she learns things so early!" 

"Haha, isn't it scary if he's that dangerous? Maybe I should have my dad send us some guards to protect us from him!" Fuuka commented with a snarky smile on her lips.

"Heh, if he tried something, I would crush him like a bug!" Said a tall male who stood close to Fuuka, his gaze sharp with a large build, wide shoulders and a shaved head. 

However, when the large male gazed at Fuuka, he looked a little stupid. Despite this, he was Kenta Suzuki, captain of the Judo club.

Stood beside Kenta, hanging over a seat, was Yuki Ito, the Vice-Captain of the Kendo Club, a rather handsome boy with glasses and a more pretty face than rugged. 

And the last male of the group, Haruki Tanaka, captain of the football team, a good-looking and rather charmingly devoted man. 

He was well known to be pursuing Princess Erika for three years.

"But his name is sexy... Ryuji Vincenzo." 

Erika's lips shimmered as she traced them with her small red tongue, flicking the screen of her phone, which showed various photographs of a handsome blonde male with broad shoulders and a tall height. 

"See?"

She turned her phone to the group, showing a handsome "model" style picture of the transfer student where he looked quite dashing and wild. 

He wore a high-level brand of suit from Europa, and with his fierce eyes and high-bridged nose, he looked like a western gangster, something wild and interesting.

"Hey, he's really dangerous. What is this sex appeal?" Fuuka said in a low voice.

"Tsk, he's just a blond yank, right? Who cares? I bet he's all talk." Yuki Ito grumbled, unable to hide his hatred for Fuuka complimenting another guy.

While the group discussed the transfer student and various other topics during their weekly meeting, the door suddenly slammed open.

*Clack!*

A short woman entered the class with a graceful gait, her steps like a professional dancer, her long, silky blonde hair bouncing as she reached her desk and slammed several thick books onto the table, revealing her cute face and abundant chest. 

She was a teacher popular as a mascot to the girls and someone the males went crazy over in secret.

"Alright, everyone, there's some special news today~ so get to your seats and stop talking, or I will double your homework for the month!"

Rumours became abuzz in the small classroom, a place where only the rich and talented could attend. It led to resilient but arrogant people who often looked down on others.

The more rowdy members of the class kept their heads down but still whispered.

"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]

A low, humming sound echoed through the classroom, yet nobody seemed to hear it... Shining runes filled the floor and ceiling, rapidly creating a large circle.

—Princess, we have found the location the goddess gave us!

[Number of locked targets - 27]

[Error!]

[Extra Detected!]

—There is no time, princess. We must continue!

[Summoning process engaged]

A brilliant streak of silver and golden lights formed under the floor and seeped into the room, enveloping the entire classroom. 

It looked like the class of 3-C shone with a disco-style light. 

Alas, nobody noticed.

"Then, without making you wait longer!" The teacher spoke once again with a bright smile.

"Ryuji Vincenzo, please come inside and greet your new classmates!"

The ground trembled as the teacher called out the transfer student's name.

As if he caused the world to shatter, the moment he opened the door, the earth shook, and people started to panic when 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]

Once again, the strange echo filled their minds, this time clearer, and some of them made out the words, showing a look of confusion.

Someone completely oblivious to all the changes was Ryuji himself. 

He stepped into the room and stood in front of the class, sweeping his hair back into a neat style. Ryuji opened his narrowed eyes and gave a light bow to the class.

However, the moment he stood and prepared for his greeting...

[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.

Yet, those who adjusted slowly could still only see the damaged classroom, almost like a slow fading light or a ghost lantern.

The castle began to replace the classroom.

However, to someone like Ryuji, with zero perception, the change was even slower, and he noticed nothing while preparing to give his introduction.

As if the classroom hadn't even changed.

To Ryuji, the world moved in slow motion, yet he couldn't recognise the strange differences; rather, it felt like his mind or something about him actively rejected these changes, as a red flicker shone in the back of his eyes.

[I've found you!] 

An unfamiliar voice echoed in the mind of only Ryuji.

"Hello, everyone!" Ryuji greeted the class, who remained frozen in his vision. 

His mood was surging, and a feeling of curiosity and excitement.

The unfamiliar faces and their expectant eyes.

"My name is Ryuji Vincenzo, and I'm your regular, run-of-the-mill transfer student!"

This was the moment the world changed for Ryuji.

As if waiting for his self-introduction, the magic suddenly flooded into his body, and the world transformed as he spoke his last words. It caused the knights and other students to look at him with confused gazes.

"Let's make the best of this! I look forward to working with all of you."

'Woah?! What's happening?'

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. 

'This isn't the classroom...' Ryuji thought while taking in the sudden changes.

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.

'Tsk, another handsome guy...' 

Despite being angry due to the sudden appearance of a lot of handsome guys, he found the situation confusing. 

'What happened...' He gazed towards the group of classmates and then to the king and queen once again while looking for some answers.

As if waiting for them to adjust, finally, the king stood from his throne and spread his arms, wearing a golden crown and dark red robe. 

"Welcome, Heroes!"

His low and elegant voice echoed through the room in silence. 

But this soon ended, with people snapping out of their daze and understanding that this might not be a dream and that something strange had occurred.

"Eh? What!?"

"What Heroes? Where the hell are we?"

"Send us back!"

'Is this another world...?'

Ryuji gazed at the various knights and a maid who stood at the door, staring at him with a strange expression.

'Strange... I feel like I know her...'

He could feel a weird, unnatural force that pulled his attention to her.

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 welcomed a second chance.

'Mother. I will do my best this time. Watch over me!'

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.

"Strange, didn't the princess state there would only be twenty-six members?" 

"I am not sure, Your Highness..." 

The king's aura suddenly transformed, causing the students to feel a sudden heavy pressure 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 he look at me so hatefully?'
