Chapter Text
Today was the day, it was the first time In months that I can escape this gloaming anguishing cell. I spent 7 of my 19 years in this cell. We were supposed to go to some government school in Japan called Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School. Personally, I could care less about it.
"hey hey (y/n)" said a boy in the shadows he was my friend, Kietaka. Kietaka was 3 years younger than me and had long black hair and white bangs that split into 3 pointy bangs and dark but well-saturated caramel skin. he wore a short black hoodie over a white hoodie and black pants. he also has black boots with white laces and wears a white glove over his right hand that has sustained burns and scars from his time here. He was put in here because he has an unhealthy obsession with being in situations. He also purposely gets into those situations but he easily finds himself getting out of them.
"Sooo, what's your plan when we go to that nurturing school," the boy said rolling on his back and looking up at me. I sat at my desk and looked at him.
"Why does that matter to you," I said annoyed. Kietaka grinned like he knew something I didn't know
."well, you know, when it comes to our future... we gotta be able to look forward (y/n)." said Kietaka with a smug smile on his face
"When you think about it our fate depends entirely on how far ahead we reach." Kietaka finished. he still lay on the ground. he seemed strangely comfortable in situations others would call horrendous. "and if we can get there before everyone else then all is well!" Kietaka yelled and stood on my desk and started jumping up and down. My eyes widen with surprise at Kietaka’s sudden actions. Kietaka noticed my reaction and laughed.
"what are you doing?"I asked the strange kid. he stopped jumping on my desk and smiled at me again. "that's just how we do it on the outside..." Kietaka explained casually. He then flipped off my desk and sat beside me. Kietaka then opened his mouth and spoke in Japanese
"any way you seem upset about going away for so long. are you scared" he teased me
he then started to play with my hair, much to my dismay, but something about him scares me so I let him continue.
"of course not, those kids can't be that scary," I said full of confidence.
"do you really believe that" he said letting go of my hair. he then returned to speaking in English.
"yes I'll be fine" I assured him. I then grabbed him by the back of the collar and lightly threw him out of my cell. He was very light, almost like a feather.
Kietaka fell flat on his back on the floor. The moment he laid eyes on me he smiled happily.
"oh no don't give in to my evil charms (y/n)" said Kietaka holding his chest and pretending to cry.
I gave him the 'go away' face and slammed my cell shut. why would he think I'm scared to go to a school where 'the prestigious' go? Sooner or later the bell rang for us to go to class. we only have 2 teachers that teach a variety of classes. Luckily I only had 1 class with Kietaka.
I barely made it to class today. My other friend, Buck handed me a book.
"hey idiot, don't you realize that we're going to some government school in Japan," he said insulting me.
"yeah, why should I worry," I asked. he looked at me
"we will be there for 1 year, it's best to think about what you're going to do," he said taking out a soda and drinking it. Buck was tall being 6'2 and had a very muscular build. he is a master in boxing and has blonde hair and pale skin. he usually wears the same jacket every day over a red shirt and blue jeans. He was in jail for killing somebody who stole his dumbbell.
he wasn't the prettiest but he's very loyal to his friends. our teacher walked in and started to instruct us in what we are doing today. We all got up and ran to the track field. we ran 10 laps around the school before we do anything. The school was at least as big as a small town. we were exhausted, well except for Kietaka who somehow snuck into my class.
"you filthy criminals did this to yourselves," said the warden. he then looked at Kietaka.
"what are you doing here," he asked sternly.
"well since your here you can come on the trip too," the warden said resting his arm on Kietaka's shoulder.
"that kid man," Buck said out of breath. he's never met Kietaka but he knows that he's my friend.
"as you all know, we are going to our allies, Japan's #1 government school," he said.
"you will all be shown how to be good students, and will be basically jobbers to them. whatever they say you must do or you will be disciplined according" he said everyone nodded.
"alright follow me to the plane," he said dragging Kietaka along with him. The class then got up and limped to the plane.
I took my seat in the 3rd row on the middle seat. Kietaka was sitting near the window. Buck then sat close to the walkway.
"oh hey, you two" Kietaka said. waving at us. Buck smiled.
"you never told me you had a girlfriend he said," Buck said.
Kietaka pouted
"I'm very clearly a guy," he said all flustered. it's rare to see him not his usual self.
"oh sorry," Buck said apologetically.
"It's fine," Kietaka said smiling. the plane lifted and we were off. the plane was fast and we'd probably be in Japan in 3 hours. Kietaka was fast asleep and Buck was talking about lewd stuff to the older boys. I was reading the light novel 'A Certain Magical Index'. it's a good read.
sooner or later we were landing and Kietaka, being sight launched in the air and his head hit the top of the counter. he didn't put on his seatbelt.
"ouch," he said rubbing the top of his head. we have arrived in Japan. we were greeted by the leader of Japan. he shook the warden's hand and we were escorted inside. we saw the students from this school with their luxurious red jackets. and school uniforms. it kinda made me jealous.
"Hello, students from classes 1-A to 1-D. today we have guests" said the headmaster.
"These Rejects will be your personal servants, they will do anything you say," he said pulling Kietaka near him.
"after they take an exam to test their smarts, that will determine who will choose them," he said. The students then got up and left the auditorium. I didn't know what he said because I had my eyes fixed on this girl. she had long black hair and one singular braid tied in a pink tie. She had a stern look the entire event and looked kinda mean.
Buck then patted my back.
"so what are you staring at," he said. I lied to him and said I was just phasing out. I turned around to see the girl standing near me staring right at me. She had the coldest gaze I've ever seen. She then stared at me with her red orbs. It felt as though someone was looking through my soul and seeing my deepest desires. I quickly turned around and stared straight up at the ceiling trying to calm my mind.
all of the students left and we, the rejects were treated to lunch.
we then took our tests. I made a 65. Kietaka made an 87 and Buck made a 70. we were the top 3 in the class where everyone else failed. after the test, the headmaster told us to explore the school and come back at 7:00. If not we will be severely punished.
Kietaka, Buck, and I walked down a street. it's so weird because this school completely replicated the world outside. obviously, there were no cars on the road but still. Kietaka then turned around and started walking backward.
"so (y/n), ya scared yet," he said smugly. I always hated his smug side.
"no, idiot," I said insulting him. he then started to fake cry.
"you so mean," he said. he then bumped into someone with short black hair accidentally, knocking all of the papers out of his hand. Kietaka put on a fake sense of embarrassment.
"oh I'm sorry," he said he kneeled and picked up all of the papers. I suddenly had the realization that this guy he bumped into wasn't friendly.
when Kietaka gathered all the papers he was going to hand them to him but he got kicked right In the jaw. Kietaka landed on the back of his neck. and the guy straightened his tie.
"hey, he helped you," Buck said getting ready to fight him.
But before anyone could move the black-haired guy punched Buck in his stomach and then Buck dropped onto the ground unconscious. He then turned towards me and pointed at me. "don't make me hurt you too" He then started to run toward me.
"the headmaster said I could do whatever I want to you, that includes killing you, but I wouldn't dare soil my reputation killing lowlifes like you," he said with a stern look on his face. he then turned to Kietaka he noticed that he was faking the injury.
"get up, you and I both know I didn't kick you." the guy said. Kietaka then did a kip up and smiled.
"so you noticed, " Kietaka said jumping up and down.
"noticed what," I said confused. he then stopped jumping.
"Before I tried to kick him he dodged the kick and used his hand to make me think I hit him." said the black-haired guy.
"I'm the student council president Manabu Horikita, remember that name well lowlifes," he said before turning away and leaving.
"I didn't even get a chance to tell him who I was," Kietaka said pouting slightly. I was stunned, I didn't know Kietaka was so quick.
"How did you dodge that kick," I asked him. he walked over to Buck and tried waking him up.
"I had the feeling he was going to kick me so I Dodge him," he said obviously lying. Buck woke up and looked for Manabu.
"Where did that dick go," Buck said searching the area.
"He left quite a while ago," Kietaka said. Buck then looked at Kietaka and noticed he had no bruise on his face, but didn't comment.
"I'm going back to the camp, ya coming," Kietaka said. I shook my head no. he then smiled and walked away while giving me a wave. Buck left with him. That kid seriously makes me feel uneasy.
after walking quite a reasonable distance. I decided to rest on the stairway. I took out a Turkey sandwich and began eating. suddenly a shadow approached behind me. it was the girl I saw earlier.
"Hello," I said trying to be friendly. the girl then scoffed. she mumbled something under her breath, but I couldn't hear it. she then left quickly.
"wait," I said chasing after her. I then slipped on the stair and tumbled down.
"ouch," I said, I then decided to walk to base camp. it was about 7:00 anyway.
when I returned, Kietaka was fast asleep in a peculiar position and Buck was sleeping pretty normally. there were many other of my classmates also on the floor but I decided to sleep outside.
