I know i said that i wanted a slice of life for my school arc.
But i knew it was impossible.
I was like Kira saying that he wanted a quiet life while killing people and having a caotic lifestyle.
But I wasn't killing people or anything like that.
So I thought "Hey, Maybe I'll get a few months of normal stuff".
Yeah, no.
---|---
I went into the classroom, sat at a normal spot, one a bit far from everyplace that could be a main protagonist spot.
In other words, as far away from the window back corner.
I sat on the right side of the classroom, around the middle part of the row closest to the hall.
No Main Character ever sat here right?
No Main Character did, but Jack sat at my left.
Thinking back a bit, he was bullied right? So he doesn't have anyone to sit next to.
Wait, since Jack is a main character, would that make the side character that sits next to him?
Or would that make him the side character and me the main?
Either way, that's negative points in me not attracting attention, then again, i would have to attract it the moment i was seen with Jack.
Actually, what happened with his bullies? I haven't seen them since i beat them up when i first met Jack.
They probably study here...
Things for later.
Anyways, with my ¨laying low¨ plan undone by the power of friendship, I watch as my classmates and teacher enter the classroom one by one.
And there were 2 persons that attracted my attention:
Blue haired girl, and unlike the ones that im familiar with, her hair looks actually nice.
She looked a bit menacing and had this serious vibe, along with a noble air around her.
I couldn't pinpoint what's weird about her inmediatly, but she kept glancing me and Jack suspiciously.
I really hope it's just someone awestruck by Jack's three month change.
Next is black haired boy, he has this downcast vibe to him, as if he could die tommorrow and it wouldn't matter to him.
He's special, because of one thing and one thing only.
His aura.
He gives this aura of danger that would creep out everyone near him...
My instincts are telling me so, but i think that no one else feels it, maybe it's something like a dog whistle.
But i can't just go and ask him "Hey are you a vampire or something?" out of nowhere.
What if he reacts like "You know too much, die".
He probably won't, but i would be mad if someone was to try and fish for my secrets so blatantly.
Let's leave him alone for now.
---|---
I'm sure you never paid any attention in class did ya?
I'm not judging, neither did I, and it was in my plans to not do so again.
But there was some subjects that actually deserved a bit of it.
First is chemistry.
Now, I don't want to be an expert in chemistry, but knowing daily chem stuff can be helpful every once in a while.
For example, aparently electricity has weight, something that the movement of electrons have mass and weight?
It sound kinda obvious, but if i think of Hamon as electricty, and Force equals mass x velocity...
So if i give more mass to the hamon sparks it can have more force.
But how?
Well, thought for later.
Second goes biology.
Why?, Well when the teacher was telling stuff about the body of animals i thought "Can't kars do that?".
Yes he can, so by extension, i will too.
Have you ever heard of how there the dung beetle can lift 1000 times his weight?
Have you ever heard of how resistant are the spider's threads?
Yeah, Kars can do them.
So i should start taking notes.
Even though i will probably get knowledge about the biosphere of the earth, as Kars did, it won't hurt to have it on my hotbar.
---|---
The mansion is like 15 minutes away if i walk there, so i leave the school when the day is over.
Jack is walking by my side, but he's a little bit tense, as there's someone tailing us.
And who would've guessed, it's blue hair.
I think her name started with ¨Ap¨ something like apollo?, apolla?
The thing is that she's following us, both Jack and I noticed, so we'll have to run for a bit.
Of course, i don't intend to evade her forever, but at the moment i'll have to, since i don't know why she's trying to spy on us.
Even if i grab her by the neck she might not answer.
So whisper to him "Hey Jack, let's run when i tell you ok?"
He doesn't seem to understand completely, but he gets the gist of it.
So I loudly exclaim "Hey Jack, are we running late to your house?"
Although i ask him, it's more of an afirmation.
"Uh, yeah, i think so?" He tries to say assertively
"Alright we should run then" That he gets inmediatly.
So we sprint towards my house.
I think i see her lose composure briefly, but i looked her through the corner of my eye so i couldn't really tell.
Jack's house is on the way to mine so i leave him there after a brief farewell.
I cross the fence of the mansion and i feel a bit safer now.
Ugh, but i still got private lessons...
Whatever, they aren't that bad, just a bit special, and I'm getting closer to the point where the things that i learn are things that i haven't seen in my past life.
That might prove to be a bother.
I'm sure i'll be able to squeeze through.
I should save energy for the night though, it's going to be a bit dangerous...
---|---
Whatever does that mean you might ask?
Well, i wouldn't mind explaining my master plan to you.
But actions speak louder than words.
It's now late in the night, so I'm sneaking outside the mansion to get out into the streets.
I have an inconspicuous backpack in my shoulder and a mask in my face, so that no one sees the Joestar heir wandering around the dark streets.
In this era, men go out at night, seeking brothels and bars, making use of that i'll find someone evil enough that i won't feel bad for them.
I have been getting accustomed to the luxury that comes with my family, so i'll have to go back to my roots for a moment now.
Oh! I heard a woman scream.
I get closer the alley of the source for a bit...
It looks like a typical Drunkard and cortesan situation, where the woman denies services and the guy doesn't take that nicely.
The man overpowers the woman, saying something like "You work in this anyways, don't you?"
That sound like my cue to enter the scene.
I breath and do a lunge to the back of his knees.
"Wha...!"
He doesn't get time to finish before he falls and i hit his head with enough force to knock him out.
"Who are you?!"
The woman screams.
"That doesn't matter, what does is that i have business with this man, leave or you will be a part of it"
She accomodates her dress a bit, and runs away before turning the corner and leaves my sight.
"Now, i think it's time to experiment".
I open the bag and i find one thing.
The Stone Mask.
That's right, I'm going full Orochimaru in the world.
It's kinda the perfect crime, and no adn samples since we're in the 1880's.
Now, what am i aiming for?
Well, my plan is two things.
One, make him do some really bad crimes and start rumors around the streets.
Two, test my mastery in hamon. No assasination skills, no stealth, just pure hamon and hand to hand.
I'm sure im decent after all that sparring with Jack, but i don't know how good i would be in a serious situation.
So i grab the mask, put him on his face, and bite my finger.
My blood flows through the mask before he suddenly wakes up screaming and flails his arms around.
He's doing that towards his front, and i'm around his back so it's all good.
Anyways, i now hide as the stone mask falls into the ground, not even a scratch in it.
"...thirst...water...drink"
He mumbles something under his breath and starts to roam around the dark streets.
I grab the mask and follow him through the alleys.
Finally, he finds a prostitute all alone in one of them.
She notices him and makes a nasty expression that completely reflects her feelings.
He suddenly lunges at her and she screams loudly.
The newborn vampire starts bites deep into her neck and starts draining her of the blood, draining her quickly, after that he quickly realizes what he's done and separates from her body and in the process, destroys the arms of her already weakened body.
Weird, i thought that vampires absorbed blood through their hands right?
Maybe they can but a newborn doesn't know it.
Doesn't matter, i just have to kill this vampire.
"Hey you, What are you doing?!" I scream loudly while pointing my fingers.
He looks in my direction and tries to excuse him.
"No! I didn't knew what i was..."
I can imagine what he was going to say so i cut him off with a hamon made sword to his neck.
...
And he died?
His eyes couldn't even react to my lunge.
It was that easy? Really? Damn.
I honestly thought it would be an actual effort.
Plus, What was that hamon sword?
I try to recreate and...
"Woah, it works"
There's blade coming from my hand, it looks a bit like Mahoraga's sword of extermination but yellow and without the bands connecting it with my hand.
I didn't even knew i could do that.
I was already theorizing this, but i did it more easily than i thought.
It's not just gathering a bit of waves and condensing them into a sword, it's straight up changing the nature of Hamon from energy to solid.
That's kinda crazy.
Well, i can feel the Ravi's helping me a lot with this, so more experimentation later.
Anyways, i'm not too much closer for my objective of today.
As i search for other persons i will explain myself.
First, the rumours.
I want rumors of people being found drained of their blood to surface, because i need to make at least one hamon master to get interested in this place.
Zeppelli wouldn't come since no one had put on the stone mask, so i should change that.
Matter of fact it would be better if Straizo came here, if he carries around the aja in fear that it might get stolen, then better.
If it isn't Straizo, then i'll push the master with a lot of vampires, so that i can see the possibilities of Hamon, or well that was the plan if i didn't discover the hamon sword.
Their techniques would still be useful, just a bit less.
Or I'll knock them out and kidnap them to lure in more masters.
The second would be my strength.
If i have to best the hamon masters, then battle experience would be needed.
Or Jack, But i'll figure something out.
Jack may be shy, but there was a reason why he became the feared ripper.
Oh well, more on that later.
I'll focus more now.
Losing focus in the battlefield will get you killed or something like that.
Oh! I see my next victim.
An assasin and his victim...
Hmmm, this guy might actually put up a fight.
Alright then.
"Amuse me"
