*POV de Kenichi*
That was unexpectedly refreshing, I think this is the first time in years that I talk to someone about my parents, not that I don't have friends to talk to, but even when I was influenced by the world, I never felt comfortable talking to other people about my personal life.
The only one close enough to me to talk about these topics is Rito, but he's not very reliable, besides even though in the manga and anime it was shown that we were best friends, the reality is that we're not that close either, he usually tells me about his problems and I usually help him, but usually I'm the one who takes the initiative for us to do something.
Also, seeing how his family relationship is, I doubt he would take it very seriously if I told him about mine.
Not to offend, but I've always found the way Rito's family lives strange, although I know it's the kind of configuration that anime protagonists usually have, I couldn't go without seeing my family for so long, you don't know how many times I've wanted to see them even if it's just for a few more days.
That's why I know, even if I tell Rito, I doubt he will understand how I feel.
Sairenji on the other hand was quite understanding when she listened to me, so it felt good to tell her about my parents, thanks to her it takes a lot of worries off my shoulders, plus it's true that I feel grateful to her, I could only get to this point because of what happened that day.
Although I still feel somewhat guilty for lying to her, but what can I do, it's not like I can tell her about the system let alone that this world is based on a fiction.
I took advantage of what little I know about my mother's family's situation, to improvise an excuse about my change in appearance. From what I understand, they were a wealthy family and had quite traditional customs, they believed in arranged marriages that benefited the family economically, as my mother did not want that kind of life, they ended up expelling her, and that's all I know.
Well that I don't care to know more about them either, those people didn't even show up when my mother died, I am clear that the only relatives I have are my grandparents.
Although this is something a bit worrying, Sairenji believed my story because she is a kind person by nature to begin with, but I doubt that the other people who have known me for a long time would believe that story.
This world follows the logic of anime where the most incomprehensible or illogical things can become reality, that's why in the story of To Love-Ru, all the people can so easily believe that aliens exist, but that's mainly possible because it's something that happens to the main characters, if a secondary character like me suddenly has such an overwhelming change, I'm going to be immediately questioned.
Not that I mind being questioned or criticized, but it's going to be really annoying.
I'm going to have to find a way to explain this tomorrow, the only credible explanation I can think of is the one I told Sairenji, that this whole change is largely due to genetics.
While I was still thinking, I arrived home, took a relaxing bath and made myself dinner.
Kenichi: "Ahh~ Eating this jelly made from the rainbow fruit makes all my problems disappear, although Shokugeki no Souma's food is awesome, it doesn't compare to a fantasy ingredient like rainbow fruit."
Come to think of it, it's almost time for me to upload the next five chapters of SAO, I wonder how they received the first ones I uploaded.
After washing the dishes, I went up to my room on the second floor and turned on my monitor, thankfully I'm already pretty far along in the story I just have to upload the chapters, when there are few left I'm going to go back to writing new ones.
I was prepared to have good reviews, but the moment I opened my account, something happened that left me quite surprised...
Kenichi: "What the hell is this? More than 1 million views in 24 hours!"
Out of all expectations, in just one day my novel entered the first place of the most viewed novels and surpassing by far in the number of views of the second and third place.
I already knew that this world needed entertainment, but I never thought it would be so much, even now the number of visits continues to increase, out of curiosity I began to review the comments.
The vast majority said how much they liked the story, although there were some weird comments mixed in, but I decided to ignore them.
Kenichi: "Heh... If they liked this story so much, that means the chances of them contacting me to turn it into a light novel are pretty high, for the moment I'm just going to keep uploading chapters regularly, when I already have several volumes completed I'll start thinking about other novels and maybe some manga."
After uploading the chapters, when I received a reward notification from the system I remembered that I hadn't checked the rewards I received when I met Sairenji.
===============================================
*You managed your Nobel Web to the first place among the most viewed novels*
You received: Comprehension of all languages
===============================================
Kenichi: (Hmm, I guess as the name says, I can now understand all languages, although with the ability to see other realities I can learn to do that on my own, so I guess it's not a very useful skill).
For now I'll check the description of this reward for the end, for now I'll check the two I received during the day.
===============================================
Name: Pet Summon Card
Rank: SR
Source: Achievement System
Description: This card can summon any random creature or animal from the anime world, when summoned the pet will have a spiritual bond with the host, depending on how strong the bond becomes, the pet can become stronger or gain support abilities that can help the host.
===============================================
Kenichi: (A pet, that doesn't sound bad at all, this house is too big for me alone, having a companion to keep me company doesn't sound bad, plus it says I'll be connected to the pet, for now my priority is school, I'll try it one of these days when things calm down a bit).
===============================================
Name: Supernatural Luck
Rank: SR
Origin: Achievement system
Description: This ability causes that during a random day of the week, the host is endowed with luck that can be compared to passive probability manipulation, during that day good fortune will follow him in all aspects of life and the chances of bad things happening to him are almost impossible.
Important: During that random day of the week, the host's luck can be even greater than the luck of the protagonists.
===============================================
Kenichi: (It's okay... This is pretty broken... If it was just luck it would be fine, but he says it's superior to that of the protagonists.... And having Rito as the best example, the protagonists always tend to always have abnormal luck that makes things always end up in their favor.)
After thinking about the various ways luck could work, I reviewed the reward I received recently.
===============================================
Name: Comprehension of all languages
Rank: R
Source: Achievement System
Description: This skill allows the host to have a complete understanding about all different types of languages, whether they are from other races or aliens, the host will be able to fluently speak and write those languages, the only exception are magical languages.
Important: The host has to hear the language first.
===============================================
Kenichi: (Wow, unexpectedly it's quite a useful skill, plus it saves me the time I would have had to spend to learn different languages).
After that, I started thinking about how I was going to explain my change of appearance at school, while I was lost in my thoughts, I remembered that I still had three plot change ticket, although it might be a waste to use something that allows me to change whatever I want of the world's history, on something like this, but it's also going to help me experience how it works, plus it's not impossible that in the future I'll get more.
Kenichi: "Since Sairenji and Yarizui-senpai already saw me in this appearance, it won't be useful to write that I always looked like this... Hmm..."
I took out a ticket from the store, and on it appeared a gold-colored transparent panel asking me to write what I wanted to change in the plot.
I thought for quite some time, until I finally made up my mind.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Plot change ticket:
My mother's family in the very distant past, had the surname Hanma, was one of the most influential families of the Sengoku era because of all the great accomplishments the family's samurai achieved during wartime.
Everything was going great for the Hanma family, until one day an abnormal individual was born into their blood. He had an abnormally strong and muscular body from the moment he was born, he despised the way of the sword and mocked the Bushido one of the greatest honors of Japan calling weakness, in his adolescence he challenged armies of thousands of samurai only with his bare fists.
Before his strength the katanas and armor were nothing more than toys that could destroy at any time, in every battle he stood firmly without any armor, there came a point where the fear that people had, became respect and admiration, in some regions that were affected by the war there were even people who bowed and prayed for him in the same way they would before a god.
On the battlefield there was no one who did not know him, everyone recognized his strength and in doing so almost instinctively everyone agreed to call him:
"The Ogre" The strongest creature on earth.
But despite his great accomplishments and the large number of offspring he had, he was only human and like all other humans he could not fight against age and natural death.
After losing such an impressive individual, the Hanma family, unsure if they would be attacked by those who harbored resentment against the ogre, in desperation decided to change their surname and completely erase from existence the fact that at some point an individual like the ogre was born among them.
Today, not even the history books mention a single word about "The Ogre", only the family once surnamed Hanma has records of such events. But every few years, a child with Ogre-like qualities is born into that family.
At present, I am the last direct descendant of the Hanma bloodline.
Since my birth I had a special body, but after some events in my past, I neglected my physical condition, but now, with my spirit revived again, I resumed my training and regained the appearance I was supposed to have from the beginning.
Every time I tell this story, although at first with doubts, people will end up believing it as if it is the only possible reason to change my appearance in such a short time.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The moment I finished writing, the ticket lit up with a golden glow that blinded me for a few seconds until it disappeared, and almost instantly a huge amount of memories I had never seen flooded my brain.
Kenichi: "!"
I think I was for several minutes just sitting on my bed staring at nothing but emptiness with my eyes wide open, until.
Kenichi: "YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING FUCKING ME!!!"
I couldn't help but scream.
I think I understand now why Flashpoint are so fucked up at DC.
How the fuck is it that changing something so minuscule in my family's history made so many things change.
At first when I got all those memories I was Impressed, the ticket wasn't limited to just changing things, it was like those Marvel powers that were able to rewrite reality, that of course blew me Impressed, but the problem came later.
Gradually I began to see that I had many memories and past experiences that I had never lived before, I vividly remembered being childhood friends with a boy son of a Yakuza family along with four other girls with whom we made a promise, I also remembered being friends with a perverted shitty brat along with a sickly girl and I also had many other relationships in my childhood that I had never had before.
But what impacted me the most was everything that changed in my family history, now it turns out that my father before he retired was a member of an ancient clan called "Hero Clan" that used to have wars and battles with a race of beings called Demons, and it also turns out that my grandparents on my father's side were somehow related to the Youkais, Ayakashis and Onmyoujis.
Also some of the memories I had with my mother hinted that her family who was the one whose ancestor was the Hanma who believes, also had some sort of contact with the supernatural.
Kenichi: (Shit! I just wanted to use the ticket to make my life a little easier! Why did my life become so much more complicated than before!? Now instead of a supporting character I look more like a protagonist, and seeing the amount of things my family has been involved in, I almost look like a hybrid like Ichigo from Bleach!)
I had planned not to get involved with other anime's stories unless it was necessary, but now whether I want to or not I'm involved in several of them.
After thinking that, I couldn't help but look out the window towards the small Winery I had in the backyard, according to the memories I have, inside that Winery there are several things that belonged to my parents that I haven't seen, I guess I'm going to have to check it out.
Kenichi: "But I'm going to leave that for tomorrow after I get back from school, I'm already mentally exhausted enough to endure more surprises for today."
After that last comment, I turned off the lights and slowly fell asleep, while trying to ignore how complicated my life suddenly became, at least now I know that I don't have to underestimate the power of the plot change ticket, in the future I won't be so careless about using it.
*Narrator's POV*
*Next day*
It was a quiet morning like any other, the sun had just risen and some housewives could be seen cleaning outside their homes. All the people were completely unaware of the glowing light that illuminated the whole world in the night, but even if they had noticed it, that light did not really affect their daily lives at all.
Everything remained as quiet as ever in the city of Sainan, even though occasionally you could hear the occasional gunshot from the Yakuzas who lived in the city, even that happened to be seen as normal by the inhabitants of the city, now seeing such scenes was part of their daily lives.
But the tranquility of the city, was quickly interrupted by Kenichi, who was running at high speed through the streets, anyone who saw him would be surprised, and not only for his incredibly attractive appearance or for his well-defined body, but also for the speed at which he ran, his speed made all Olympic athletes look ridiculous, his race was constant and did not slow down at all.
You could see he was wearing a blue tracksuit with white details, anyone would think he was just a teenager doing a morning workout, but if you looked closely, he was wearing a pair of weights both on his wrists and ankles, and each weighed over 30 kg, this in itself already far exceeded the amount of weight that professional athletes use.
He also kept running for hours without slowing down a bit and despite that he did not look tired at all, his speed was almost as fast as that of a car, fortunately the amount of people at that time in the morning were few, otherwise rumors about him would have already started to circulate.
After his usual morning run, he returned home and took a short bath followed by preparing breakfast, along with a bento for lunch at school, looking at the time he saw that he still had some time left, so he began to check the comments on SAO, which continued to grow with each passing minute.
When it was time to leave, he put on his school uniform and left with slow, leisurely steps.
On her way to school she could already see several other students who were also going to school, although she could perceive a lot of stares in her direction, she kept ignoring them all the time as she walked with steady steps.
Girl #1: "H-Hey... Do you know who that boy is?"
Girl #2: "N-No... I think I would remember him if there was such an amazing looking boy at our school."
Girl #3: "I wonder if he's a transfer student? I think this is the first time I've seen such a handsome guy, it's like he's straight out of a manga... Ahh~ I can already imagine him as he roughly undresses me demanding that I call him master while he punishes me~"
Girl #1: "..."
Girl #2: "..."
All the girls who saw Kenichi couldn't help but blush, there were even some who began to fantasize about some pretty extreme things while looking at him. But they couldn't be blamed, Kenichi not only had an attractive appearance, he also had quite a mature presence, which added to his confident and steady gait, only made him look more amazing.
Even though he could hear the girls' comments that were getting more and more outrageous, he just ignored them and kept walking in a straight line, he could even feel the murderous looks the guys were giving him, this situation was exactly like what you would see in an anime, the girls talking about how attractive you are in such a loud voice that everyone can hear them and the guys with tears of blood falling from their eyes because of envy.
Seeing them, Kenichi confirmed once again that really this world was based on that of the anime he watched with his ability, all the people acted quite far from common sense, in the past being influenced by the world, Kenichi didn't realize how strange it was for people to suddenly make funny faces and expressions like those in the anime, like the boys who were now literally crying tears of blood, no matter how you look at it that didn't make sense.
Kenichi just kept walking, but as he did so he looked back at the boys, when they saw him looking at them they were about to throw some insults at him, but almost instantly they went completely silent as they trembled, Kenichi wasn't bullying them, in fact he wasn't even looking at them wrong, but something in his eyes told them that they needed to get away from him quickly.
Without realizing it, it only made the girls wonder even more, although Kenichi wasn't exactly the stereotypical prince charming that all pure girls longed for, but women also liked strong, dominant and confident men, this added to his looks only made him look even more attractive.
This was just another day for Kenichi, for starters apart from Rito, although he had several friends and was quite sociable, it could not be said that he was not very close to other people either, at most he would only make a few dirty jokes or talk about games.
After a few minutes he entered the school and went straight to his class, all the way the girls and even some teachers could not help but look at him, although he was a little uncomfortable he did not let the looks and the words of the people affect him.
Class 1-A
This was Kenichi's class, except for some boys who had a special presence like Rito or some girls who were much more beautiful than those in other classes, it was just a normal class, or at least that's what Kenichi thought at first, but thinking about the future plots of To Love-Ru, in the future several other characters who were important to the story were going to join.
But Kenichi was completely oblivious to that, having changed several things by accident with the plot change ticket, he didn't care much about the plots anymore, so even though he still felt a bit nervous, in the end he opened the classroom door casually.
And the moment he did so...
...
...
...
It was as if time had stood still...
For some strange reason, when they saw Kenichi enter the classroom, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him as if they were hypnotized...
The moment Kenichi entered, he immediately activated his Danger Sense, at first this Quirk only alerted its user of people who wanted to attack him, but with the improvement of his body, the enhanced battle instincts of the Hanma and Kenichi's intense training, the capabilities of this Quirk evolved.
It could now be activated and deactivated at will, furthermore it was no longer limited to only sensing negative emotions, although it was still particularly sensitive to them, it could now also identify any emotion directed at Kenichi, this proved that the Quirks in the world of Boku no Hero Academia had almost unlimited potential, it all depended on the evolutionary path the user chose.
The same happened with the Quirk Strongarm, despite being a punch-fighting oriented Gift, Kenichi was able to adapt it to the use of swords to replicate Kirito's Starburst Stream, although this was only possible thanks to the Hanma's physical constitution.
When Kenichi activated his Danger Sense, he could feel a the emotions coming at him, the vast majority were just curious, some were hostile and for some strange reason he felt a bit of lust mixed in between all the emotions.
Kenichi: "Good morning."
Not caring about the confusion of his classmates, Kenichi gave a brief greeting and walked calmly to his seat completely ignoring their confused faces.
The first to break the silence was Momioka Risa, a rather attractive girl with short light brown hair and dark brown eyes, she also had a nice figure with all the curves in the right places.
Momioka: "Hey~ Hey~ Who is that gallant? It's the first time I've seen him."
At the same time her best friend Sawada Mio couldn't keep quiet either, she was a girl with dark brown hair pulled back in two small ponytails, she also had light brown eyes and glasses, unlike Momioka she had a less defined body.
Sawada: "I don't know, he might be a transfer student."
These two girls like Kenichi, were also supporting characters in To Love-Ru, although due to their perverted and shameless personalities they had much more screen time than Kenichi, their main role in the story was to tell dirty jokes and every time they appeared they touched the breasts of one of the heroines, as they helped to create erotic situations for the fanservice, they were quite popular among To Love-Ru fans.
Personally, Kenichi liked them, although they always used to joke around, they were not bad people.
Following them, all the other girls in the class were interested in knowing who Kenichi was, even though their class had some male protagonists like Rito, at the end of the day anime protagonists are not usually liked for their looks, in fact, the vast majority have plain or even boring appearances, they are not usually particularly handsome, the main reason why they usually have so many girls in love with them is usually because of their kindness, a protagonist can be dumb, perverted, lazy or even evil, but as long as he has the label of kindness he will always find a way to make heroines fall in love with him.
But Kenichi was different, not only did he have amazing looks, he was also backed by his imposing presence, just walking around made people think he was someone special.
Ishida: "Tch... I don't know why girls are making such a fuss over that guy... If I tried, I could be just as handsome..."
Sakamoto: "Indeed... Looks don't make the man."
Kobayakawa: "Honestly, as long as he's not a Loli, I'm not interested."
Next to speak were the famous perverted trio, starting with Ishida Keigo, a boy with blond hair and dull eyes, Sakamoto Shinpei, a boy with short blue hair who tried to look intellectual by adjusting his glasses, and Kobayakawa Minoru, a boy with hair so short it looked almost shaved, for some reason it ended with a point on the top of his head, he also had a rather obese build and blatantly said things that would make people want to call the FBI to censor him.
These three were practically the alternate version of characters from a certain anime that dealt with breasts and dragons, curiously they were also called the perverted trio.
While Kenichi was also considered a pervert in the past, he never acted as blatantly as these three idiots, in fact, several of the girls in the class found Kenichi funny, in this school that was full of perverts, you could say that Kenichi was one of the most normal, he usually only made dirty jokes, he was never seen harassing any girl or talking loudly about his body.
Next to those three was a boy named Hashiba Junichi, just like Rito he was also a protagonist and was also one of the famous perverts of the school, he had short dark brown hair along with two chokes on the top of his head and also had the same color eyes.
He was known at school for always getting immersed in his fantasies while drooling and starting to babble about perverted things, even though he was much more normal than the perverted trio, the girls had a lousy impression of him. Right now he was so immersed in his fantasies, he didn't even notice Kenichi's presence.
Kenichi simply walked past while ignoring them, not even when he was a pervert he didn't get along with these three idiots, besides thanks to his ability to see other realities, he already knew which anime they belonged to and he didn't have a very good impression of them and much less of the stupid protagonist of that story.
With relaxed movements he took a seat and sat down...
...
...
...
Just as when he entered, everyone froze, it was the first time they had seen a transfer student act so brazenly. In Japan, one of the basic rules is that when a student transfers, he waits for the teacher in the hallway and only enters when given permission to enter, while making a brief introduction.
A/N: (I don't know if it works like that in reality, but in anime it's practically a well-known cliché).
But this attractive, masculine-looking guy walked into the classroom like it was his home and sat down in a random seat as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
Most of the guys were offended by his attitude, but the girls became more and more interested, even though Kenichi was not a foreigner, his presence was quite exotic and he never acted disrespectful, he even greeted them all when he entered the classroom.
But as the Harem Ecchi anime cliché dictates, the character who is popular with the girls is always going to be unilaterally hated by the other boys, in fact, this was seen quite a few times in To Love-Ru, when the boys found out that Rito had Lala as his fiancée, they all attacked him, although in the anime that was seen as funny, Actually, that childish attitude was the main reason why most of the boys were single and virgins.
While everyone was frozen not knowing what to say, only one person dared to talk to Kenichi.
Rito: "S-Sorry... I don't know who you are... But you just sat in my friend's seat..."
...
...
...
Silence once again reigned in the classroom, it felt quite uncomfortable, and the funny thing was that Kenichi had done nothing.
During the few days he had been training he had learned ways to not project the Hanma presence he naturally released, so apart from having an attractive face and an incredibly defined body, at this moment he was practically like any student, he was quite similar to how Baki was at school, he acted so relaxed that even his classmates came to make fun of him.
Kenichi: "What are you talking about Rito? It's me!"
Oblivious to the oppressive atmosphere, Kenichi spoke normally, but his words only served to confuse his classmates even more.
Rito: "Is it me? I'm sorry, but I don't know you... I don't know how to explain it to you, but that seat belongs to my friend Saruyama Kenichi..."
Kenichi: "And that's why I'm telling you, it's me."
Rito: "..."
Rito didn't know what to say anymore, he even wondered if Kenichi was stupid, but as everyone became more and more immersed in the oppressive atmosphere, the classroom door opened again.
This time the one who entered was Sairenji Haruna, the class representative, her warm and kind presence served to soothe everyone in the class, even Rito put on a rather stupid expression as he looked at her, at this point he no longer cared who Kenichi was or why he sat in his supposed friend's seat, all he cared about was looking at Haruna.
Haruna: "Good morning everyone."
She didn't notice the atmosphere or ignored it completely, but entered with her usual loving smile, as she walked and greeted each of her classmates, she even greeted the perverted trio with complete naturalness, this was one of the reasons why Haruna was considered a traditional heroine, she had a kind personality that made her treat everyone equally, an attitude that Kenichi respected a lot, nowadays there were few people who could talk normally with others regardless of their personality or appearance.
Haruna's seat, was quite close to Kenichi's, so she had to walk past him in order to reach his seat. As he got closer, Rito's eyes lit up anxiously waiting for Haruna to greet him with her characteristic smile.
But before she could do that, Haruna stopped and looked at Kenichi with some surprise, but pulled herself together and put on an even happier smile than the one she flashed to her classmates.
Haruna: "Good morning, Saruyama-kun..."
...
...
...
...
They could no longer even count the number of times in this short morning that this class was completely frozen, even those who used to make jokes all the time were silent with surprised looks on their faces.
But after a few seconds in which everyone was processing the situation.
A single word came out of everyone's mouth...
Everyone: "WHAT!!! (NANI!!!)"
