《I Was Monster Once, Now I Am Human》A Monster Attends A High School In This Modern World (Part-3)
Advertisement
I read many novels and stories while I spent my time alone in my room but never once there was such a scenario as I was being targeted of, in those novels--
"Albert, you don't need to worry about such things. Everyone in this school is beneath your feet, if they fear you, that's fine but amid the fear if they happen to show any disrespect towards you-- Shot 'em- I stopped you when you were about to shoot principal because Ruffle is needed to run the school but anyone else, excluding school staff, is at your mercy. " Is what my mother had said to me. I was standing still, dumbstruck in front of her, about what she had just said to me.
This is a school, right? Who would bring a gun to the school! And on top of that, permitting me to shoot any student who shows sign any disrespect towards me!
"Mother... What is this? What are you even saying..." were words that came out of my mouth in response to my mother's words but they didn't seem to reach her ears- She was looking forward, towards the principal who was walking to us from the stage. The hand-gun was still resting on her hand, waiting--
She ignored my words...There is no way I could fire that thing at someone without any danger to my own life.
This is why I hate humans. Humans take a being's life as if it's nothing- When a person dies, it's not about that one single person who lost his life, along with that one person many other suffers and despair in the memories of that one single person. All beings form connections among their race and in some case, among other race- In all of those beings, humans are the only one who kills without regards of others and yet calls others, evil.
There was a something I heard long ago--
When the lost monster took revenge on the one who caused him suffering, the lost human learned the meaning of despair, the meaning he first taught to the lost monster.
Thus, all the bloodshed begin.
Words my mother spoke reminded me of these words and I found myself standing in the position of the lost human before he lost himself in newfound rage. If I take any life now, the lost monster will come and I----
Even though I was ready to shot the principal in his leg, I never intended to kill him and furthermore, it was to protect myself when I sensed the danger...
My emotions are conflicting with each other... The human that I am now, the monster that I was before.
I looked down, towards my feet; I started feeling dizzy all of sudden. I grabbed my head with both of my hands, struggling from these feelings-- when suddenly I heard
"Albert-sama, Are you okay? " In front of me stood Ruffle, The Principal- "If you are not feeling okay, you can lay down on the bed in the infirmary room " Ruffle said. My mother finally noticed my struggle and said "Albert, is there something wrong? " she asked but What is wrong with you? Mother! Is what I wanted to reply to her words but instead " No, I am fine. " I replied to her.

*Deep-breath* I am calm now.
"Hmm--if that's the case, fine." She said and then continued with her words " In any case, Ruffle, Where is the Head of Kichiro family? The person we heard so much about. " She asked to Ruffle with the sign of obvious curiosity on her face- She was still holding the gun in her hand and from that scene, I felt as if I were watching a gangster talking to her minion.
" Head of kichiro family? He said he would be coming tomorrow--There seems to be some internal dispute in kichiro family. " Ruffle said with a calm voice-- "I see. " Was the mother's reply to Ruffle words. Their conversation didn't last long and I didn't hear much of it since I was struggling with my emotions. The words that I heard made only a little sense to me.
But now, both of their attention was directed towards me- " Albert-sama, you have your gun with you right? " Ruffle asked me with his C-A-L-M voice, these were words a principle shouldn't speak with such a calm voice. "No..." I replied and I was surprised so many times today that nothing seems to surprise me anymore. A principal asking if I have a gun on me? yea, that's should be normal in this world.
The gym we were standing in was almost empty now, only a few people remained in the building who looked like teachers. Those who were still in the building were collecting the chairs and cleaning the hall from all the stuff.
"I don't think he likes the idea of having a gun on him. when I offered the gun, He started sweating in cold blood." My mother suddenly said after stealing a few gazes of me. Mother!??
"That's troubling... Well, Albert-sama has always been in the house for his safety but that also kept him away from general knowledge of a family and how they work. Though when Albert-sama pointed the gun at me, with cold eyes-- I realized, the blood of Neslete family runs in his vines thick even if he is not accustomed to the world outside. " Principal said to mother--But then, He looks at me " Albert-sama, I stand on neutral ground between two families so, If something were to happen in the school between two main families, I wouldn't be able to do much so it is best for you to keep that gun on your back. "
I don't know what he is talking about and before I could ask, He said " well then, I will be on my way. Albert-sama, your homeroom teacher will come to take you to the class-- " With those words, He bowed down before my mother and left us.
I and my mother were alone, standing in that gym building- "Mother... What principle was talking about? " I asked my mother but she picked her sun-glasses and wore them on her eyes while saying " As I said before, you should talk to your father more often. In any case, I'll be leaving now. The gun isn't important for today since the Head of kichiro isn't coming today. For today, you can learn how this school works. " With those words, She also left, looking all cool.

I am alone uh?
I always knew there is something wrong with my family and how everyone reacted to us but-- I think, Whatever I am imagining in my head doesn't come near to the reality. In the next minute, A person came to me, claiming to be the Homeroom teacher of my class. He was respectful towards me and asked me to follow him to the class so, I did.
He leads me to the main building of this high school, on the second floor- In front of a room, The room sounded cheerful from the outside, I could hear everyone talking to each other. He asked me " Albert-sama, Could please walk in front? " I didn't think of it much and as he said, I walked in the front and entered in the class first and I was greeted by the sudden silence. I didn't know what to do after entering the class, so, I stood in front of a blackboard--- Standing in front of this many humans of my age sure is hard... for someone like me
When the homeroom teacher entered the class after me, Everyone in the class stood up from the chair and said " GOOD MORNING! Teacher~ " Ehh? Should I also say something like this??
Because of that, I also greeted the teacher with " Good Morning. Teacher? "
"Good morning Albert-sama and Good morning everyone " The Homeroom teacher replied and then, he asked everyone to sit down and like **** *****, everyone sat down back to their desk.
Everyone in the class was staring at me as if I was some sort of specimen of rare species but I could also tell, in those stares, I felt anger and fear directed towards me. Though, In the back of the room, some students were smiling towards me as if they knew me and were happy to see me.
The Teacher put both his hands on the desk that lies in front of him and said "As all of should know by now, This person is Heir of Neslete family. Albert Neslete, from the main family. You guys all have been training to serve one of two families, though many of you already have chosen a family to serve. But there still some students who have yet to choose and now is the best chance for them; The next head of the Neslete family himself is will be standing among you. As well as the current head of Kichiro from tomorrow. "
Ehhhhh?? what---What??
This was one of the biggest shocks that I received until now, And I started to understand what my mother meant when she said the goal of this school. All of the pieces started to come together
" I am sure all of you read the rule book, so, This just a reminder; It doesn't matter which family you choose, Be respectful to both of these people, Head of Kichiro family and Heir of Neslete family. Or your life-"
If someone were to say these kind words to you, of course, you will be scared. I didn't have a choice to become a lost human, I had already become one without my realization and consideration. If I make one single mistake, there will be a lost monster seeking me, for his revenge.
The homeroom teacher had yet to finish his speech; whatever he was saying but I started walking towards a desk I saw at the back of the class, it was empty so, It was mine. As I started walking, The teacher stopped his speech and when I sat down-- He asked everyone to introduce themselves to the class but since everyone had already known me, There was no need for me to introduce myself. I sat there in silence. I couldn't listen to anyone.
I am not one of you, don't decide things on my behalf.
I am a monster in the skin of a human being-- I am not someone who will let the dice rolls and decide my fate.
While I kept my self away from everyone's eyes, The Introduction was almost complete. when suddenly, someone came in the classroom in a hurry-- That person was a boy, he was out of breath--after taking a deep breath while standing at the door " Exhale Where is Albert Neslete? " The person said. This person was tall though he wasn't close to my height. He wore a black suit with a blue tie on his neck and black shoes-- it was not the school uniform- A slim body just like mine, and his hairs were all messy. Who is this guy and why is calling me? was what I thought at the moment and didn't realize, this person had just spoken my name without any honorific, unlike others. There were only two people who referred to me like that, those were my parents.
This guy, He smells like trouble...
In any case, I stood up since everyone in the class was already glaring at me and when this unknown guy saw me standing " Inhale, deep-breathing. Aha... You are Albert? Come with me--You don't need to join this stupid class. "Is what he said. And then he asked me to follow him, though I was suspicious of this person. But, I couldn't stand the stares I was being targeted of in the class so, I followed him- Nodding my head.
But there was still the question Who is this, freaky looking guy??!

8 469When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
