The casual morning, in a classroom full of students even from other classes who were joking with each other, chatting and gathering with their group, or even some who chose not to mingle were busy with their own worlds including the four people who were talking at their friend's desk at the very front near the window.
"Hey, Hana, I heard that you just broke up with your boyfriend? Is that true?"
a question asked by the only boy at the group table, Joshiki.
"Yeah, I just broke up with him."
A flat answer from a girl wearing glasses, Akane Hana.
Suddenly, her friends were shocked to hear their own direct confirmation from their friend that she had now broken up with her ex-boyfriend. One by one, they began to shout-question her.
"WHAATT!!?? WHO ASKED TO BREAK UP FIRST?"
"WHEN DID IT HAPPENED?!?"
"HEY, YOU JUST BROKE UP WHY AREN'T YOU UPSET!?"
"SHH!!! Guys, lower your voices please. Stop yelling.. I'm embarrassed."
Hana, who was panicking, tried to calm her three best friends down so they wouldn't scream because she were embarrassed to be stared at by the people in the class.
"Well, I'm not really surprised that this would happened."
Said one of Hana's friends, the short haired girl, Yayoi.
"But Kenshei is a rich-popular-kid.. Are he part of dark reunion perchance and acting weird?!"
Followed by Ruika, a girl with bangs who is just as intelligent as Hana but sometimes chuunibyou.
Hana, who couldn't stand it, let out a long sigh.
"Ahh you guys, listen to my reasoning first!"
"Oh? So what's the story?" Joshiki asked while bringing the chair and his ear closer.
"The reason I broke up with him was because he was too obsessive and narcissistic. I know it's hard to believe, but I experienced it myself. All this time he was just using his wealth, intelligence, and 'handsome' face for validation, but his behavior was rotten. He even threatened me when we were arguing. I'm also confused why I wanted to date him in the first place, but now we've broken up! I feel like I'm free from chains!"
Instantly the three of them were shocked, their eyes widened in disbelief at Hana's words just now.
"No way... Kenshei is like that? Why wouldn't you tell us earlier about his shitty ass!"
Ruika replied who was shocked.
"It's been obvious. I've told you he is a redflag." Yayoi sighed.
"Well, actually from the beginning I didn't like him, but I didn't expect him to be worse than I thought."
Joshiki replied who was also upset.
In the middle of them telling stories and exchanging opinions about Kenshei, the school bell suddenly rang, signaling that class time was about to begin. Inevitably they all had to return to their respective seats until lunch break.
After School
Due to many assignments and extracurricular club activities, Hana got home a little later this afternoon. She had to take a different route than usual which was a bit far to wait for the next bus. After waiting for some time, her bus finally arrived.
While on the bus, Hana accidentally makes eye contact with a man dressed all in black with a hood and wearing a mask who keeps watching her. Hana felt uncomfortable, but she chose to ignore him.
After arriving at the bus stop, Hana continued walking on the dark road, but she realized that the man on the bus was now following her. Actually Hana had tried to call the police, unfortunately her battery had run out, so the only way was to go to the police post.
Gradually Hana's steps began to increase the tempo, as did the mysterious man. Now Hana's heart is beating fast, her mind is frantic and focused on having to immediately arrive at the police post or at least meet the police on patrol.
The mysterious man slowly began to cut the distance between the two of them. Panicked, Hana began to accelerate her pace almost wanting to run.
Up ahead, Hana saw the light from the guard post lights. Feeling relieved, Hana began to run with all her might towards the post while being chased by the mysterious man.
While running, Hana shouted for help hoping that someone would hear her. But unexpectedly, the man stopped chasing her, Hana was confused for a moment but she was more concerned with her safety.
"A little more... A little more... Don't get tired yet, Akane Hana! Help is at hand!" Hana thought to herself.
While running, suddenly... BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!
Three bullets whizzed by, one hit her leg and two grazed her back and lungs. Hana who fell to the ground now couldn't do anything, slowly blood flowed so fast that it made a pool of blood around Hana's body.
The policeman who had just finished patrolling saw the incident, immediately shot the mysterious man paralyzed and held the man's weapon, while he called for medical reinforcements and tried to stop Hana's bleeding.
After being rushed to the hospital, Hana unfortunately passed away due to blood loss and the bullet hitting her fatal organ.
"W-where am I??.." Hana opened her eyes only to found herself in white empty space.
"Hey, don't be afraid. I brought you here." A voice that came from a person.
"W-who are you?! What's going on? Am I dead?!" Hana became panicked and confused.
"Hey, calm down young girl. Firstly I'm the Goddess here, secondly I pulled you here because it's my duty as a goddess, and lastly but not least yes, you are already dead." The response of the woman who said she was a goddess.
Then the woman continued "You must have guessed the cause of your death. You were shot three times and hit your fatal part and died of blood loss." Hana was silent for a moment, processing what had happened.
After getting over the shock, Hana hesitantly asked "If possible, can I see what happens after I die?"
"Oh sure, young girl. Here's your vision." She snap her fingers, then Hana being brought back to earth to see what's goin on there after she passed away.
First, she's getting to see her own funeral.
There's picture of her.
All of Hana's family and friends mourned her loss, especially her three best friends. They couldn't believe that it happened so fast, even though at school they were still joking around. Even so devastated, Yayoi was depressed because she and Hana had been friends since kindergarten.
Then, the perpetrator who killed Akane Hana is now in custody, and after going through many stages of interrogation, it was revealed that the killer was Kenshei Soshi. His main motive for doing so was because of the heartache of Akane breaking off their relationship and swallowed by anger, Kenshei took Akane Hana's life.
News of Akane Hana's murder spread to many media and TV channels, even internationally. Many people mourned the death of Akane Hana, while Kenshei Soshi was hated by the public for his actions And he was sent to prison with a life sentence.
After knowing all that, Hana was immediately taken back to the realm by the goddess. Then the goddess asked "So how is it? Are you satisfied to see it?"
Hana replied "yes, I'm satisfied to see it even though I'm sad to have to leave my friends and family and there's nothing I can do about it." "So, now what are you gonna do with me?"
The Goddess then smiled, "I will send you to another world, there you can live freely as you wish."
"Wait, another world? You mean like the fantasy worlds in anime, light novels, and rpg games!?"
"Yes, you're right. Are you ready?"
"Yes! Of course! Uh, but I have two questions. One, does this world have a power system? Two, do I have any mana or magic power?"
"Yes, this world has a power system. You'll understand when you're there. And yes, you have magic powers too."
"Okay! I'm ready! I can't wait to see the new world!"
"Good luck, my dear."
The Goddess then pointed her hand at Hana, and instantly Hana was teleported to another place. Then, Hana woke up in the middle of the forest with the body of a kid in another world.
