Huh.
Well, quite the way to start a new life. Getting up from my new comfy bed, I waved the game screens away as I let out a yawn."Damn, I wonder if I'm a Mc in a reincarnation fanfic or something."
Making it to my new body's bathroom, the first thing I did was stare at myself in the mirror.
Darius Kingston
Son of an African mom who moved to the US for a better job only to meet and fall in love with my father, a Japanese-born black guy who was in the US for a business trip. Mom agreed to move to Japan with my dad after she got pregnant with me.
Mom died giving birth to me and father died a month or so ago committing suicide after dealing with years of crippling depression, alcohol and drug problems.
Then there's me. A Tetta Kisaki look alike but actually light-skinned instead of tanned, a few centimetres taller and with african hair styled in a high-top fade. Kinda looks like one of those anime pics where someone puts waves on an anime character, minus the waves.
Maybe I needed to get waves just to complete the look. I didn't need glasses which were up and weirdly enough, I had crimson eyes.
After finishing the daily ritual of using the John, washing, brushing my teeth and the like, I got dressed for my first day of school.
So, being a reincarnator.
Always dreamt of being one but this was never how I thought it would go. Being chosen to be a protagonist's bully as a mission for a god-like entity.
Why. Who the fuck knows and I wasn't gonna ask. I didn't really mind since I'm getting a second chance in life plus, a sick part of me actually found this funny and interesting.Or maybe it's the protag hatred skill part of me talking. It didn't matter. I had an idea of what I was getting into and still accepted it so I might be partially responsible for the hate I would be causing.
Enjoying a good egg and toast for breakfast, I walked out of my modest suburban two-story home and encountered two people I immediately guessed were my cronies.
They both looked like gangsters from Tokyo revengers. This couldn't be a coincidence. One looked like that guy, uh... Yasuhiro Muto was it? I think so. The other looked like that minor character, I think his name was Masataka Kiyomaza. Only reason I think I remember his name is cause of how petty and pretty brutal he was beating the shit out of the mc.
" Sup boss. " said the person of my thoughts as he slightly bowed.
Fuck, this is Japan. Bowing and calling people by their last names and shit. I would have to do that. Naaah, fuck that. People are gonna have to just accept that I ain't doing that.
Plus, maybe I was in an alternate world where that shit didn't happen and this was just a really respectful guy in this universe. Small wishes.
Nodding at the big dude, I began walking down the street to where I knew my new school was thanks to some basic knowledge implanted in my brain on arrival. My mind went to my main target of this world.
Tadano, TittoTito? Whatever, just Tadano would do.
It seemed I'd be his bully for my start here. It shouldn't be too hard to do that considering how if the anime was accurate to the world, most people at school would hate him so might be happy that I bully him or at the very least ignore what I did with him.
The only two people I need to worry about are Komi and the androgynous boy. Girl? Whatever, Najimi I think the name was.
How do I keep them away from Tadano?
Ha, I must be a really sick bastard to so easily plan to bully a kid without even hesitating. I'm saying it like I didn't already know that. My inner musings were halted when I spotted my target. Well, I spotted a big blue arrow above his head telling me he was my target.
He really was average. I wouldn't be able to spot him from the crowd if I tried. The only defining feature about him was that stupid flower in his hair. Like what the fuck is that there for. I know he ain't gay and he ain't flamboyant from the anime at least so what's with the flower?
It only makes that fucking dumb-ass smile of his worse. Like bro, we are going to school and you're beaming so fucking early in the morning. Damn, I really want to beat the shi-
I caught myself at that moment.
I hadn't ever realised that I was beginning a hatefest in my mind till that very second. That protag hatred was damn powerful. Well, that and I was part professional hater.
Still, I did find that flower dumb. Even in my previous life. I guess the protag hatred trait mostly just enhanced any negative feelings I had for the character to a point where I found myself hating them, not just manifesting. Further investigation was required...if I remembered or cared in future. I barely cared at the moment so it was unlikely.
Now, the question of whether or not I should strike now popped into my mind. Thinking about it for a second, I decided not to. At the moment, Tadano was another random student so immediately bullying him would paint me in a negative light way too early for my liking.
Having decided to leave the boy alone for the moment, me and my cronies continued walking in silence, being avoided most likely cause we looked like delinquents. Entering the school, I found out that my locker was directly opposite Tadano's. Being in the perfect place to witness the first contact.
Seeing students begin gossiping and becoming excited clued me to a certain girl's arrival. I was indeed right, 'cause at the next moment, walking in was- holy shit!
Fuckin hell, how the hell do they make humans that good-looking. Mmm, well actually, she's an anime human written to be as beautiful as a god-Fuck, just stop dude.
Anyway, if I wasn't planning on snatching Komi from Tadano, I definitely was now. Glossy dark hair that flowed down to her lower back like a lilac river matched her piercing purple eyes that seemed to stare into your soul. I could see why she seemed intimidating to many. I didn't know how to describe it but she had an air about her. Man, where's Shakespeare when you needed him.
She was also a lot more voluptuous than I remembered from the anime, her uniform tightly clinging to her. All in all, I can see the appeal, I wouldn't be joining the cultishly devout worship of her but I would attend a sermon or two.
Jokes aside due to the comedy performance playing out, watching Tadano fumble was an absolute delight and the subsequent hating looks he received from everyone around was the icing on the cake.
******
This had to be an easy-level world. Why do I say this? Looking at the murderous glances sent Tadano's way told me this first-hand.
Sitting in the protagonist's seat near the window at the back of the class, I got a clear view of it all. The sheer amount of hate sent Tadano's way is crazy. I'm pretty sure if I were to bully Tadano, the entire school would cheer me on, if not outright join in.
Lucky for Tadano, the beginning of actual work in class took place, removing most of the hateful glances at the moment.
The class was boring as expected. I tried calling back to the system but all it did was show me the current skills and traits I had along with the mission I had to complete.
My cronies were in different classes so I had no one to try to talk to and I certainly wasn't going to try to speak to an irrelevant character. At least without reason.
It felt like forever but breaktime soon came. Trying to pass Komi and Tadano's desks to get to the door was a mistake as I was in the crossfire of the crowd running to just talk to Komi.
A fucker that was lucky I didn't see shoved me out of the way and right into the sitting form of Tadano, elbow meeting face and knocking him out.
Damn
How weak was the dude to be knocked out by a slight collision? Didn't this happen in the anime too? I wish I rewatched it at least once before coming here.
Glancing at the protagonist, I just shrugged the moment off. I'm sure it wasn't that bad. Plus, wasn't I supposed to get into a physical altercation with him? Glancing at the quest screen told me that it didn't count unfortunately.
Well, this was my chance to begin stealing Komi. Walking out of the class, I waited a few seconds before walking back in.
" Uh, Komi. I'm looking for a Komi as a teacher is looking for you. "
The girl almost jumped out of her seat with how quickly she wanted to escape from those weirdos.
Good for me.
Walking out of the class, I heard speedy footsteps following behind. Walking to where I spotted a vending machine while entering the school, I decided to finally say something when we were near. " That was a lie. No teacher is looking for you. "
I didn't have to look at the girl to sense her confusion. Scrounging up some money, I bought two cans of soda and handed one to the shy girl. " You looked like you were suffocating with how many people were on your case so I just kinda thought..."
I decided to take a glance at the girl while opening my can of soda and watched her blink in surprise before a faint smile plastered itself on her face, forcing me to hide my own emerging smile by taking a big gulp of soda.
Taking Tadano's place was almost too easy. This was before I even enacted the little plan I formulated on the fly.
" I'll be finding a quiet place to chill for the break. You can follow me if you want but if not, I guess I'll see you around. " With that, I turned around and began heading for the roof. A classic anime hang-out spot that I wanted to experience for myself.
It only took a few seconds for me to hear her decision. By how close her footsteps were getting, I would say, hook, line and sinker.
