《Savior University》Chapter 2: "Savior"
Advertisement
Inside a small hospital room, was a young black haired man wearing a patient's outfit, sleeping soundly.
The sun was already shining brightly through the windows, and the birds outside were chirping calmly.
"...uhhhh..."
Grunting tiredly, the young man started opening his eyes.
"...where...?"
After a few attempts, the man finally woke his tired body up and pulled his torso into a sitting position.
"The hospital room...?
...
...
Why the hell am I back in here?"
Suddenly, recollection of everything that happened flashed in his mind.
'Wait, I was supposed to have been shot right? Through the chest...'
He pulled his outfit down from the hole of the shirt from his neck to look at his chest.
'Nothing? What?...how?'
He was confused and wondered why he was seemingly unhurt.
'Did I sleep for a whole year or something? Or better yet, how did I survive? ...
Wait... what the hell happened in the train after I lost my consciousness?'
He was curious, he wanted to know what happened to the other passengers, what happened to the other delinquents and how he survived being shot. He had lots of questions and all he wanted now, was all of them to be answered.
'My phone!...Here it is! I gotta call Akio-'
"Good morning sir, here's your breakfast."
The nurse who took care of him suddenly entered the room pushing in a trolley with a plate of food on it.
"...Hey, ma'am, what happened after I passed out in the train and how did I get here?"
Seeing her, Akira thought that he found someone who had some answers to his questions, but...
"Train?"
Her answer just confused him more.
"Sir, is there something about a train I should know about?"
...
'...huh?'
...
"The incident at the train...what happened to the passengers? The delinquents, were they taken care of?"
"...Sir...?"
'...what the...?'
"I don't believe I know what you're talking about."
The nurse stared at Akira with clearly confused eyes as if she just heard him speak about something she had no knowledge of.
Noticing this, Akira immediately believed she knew nothing about the situation.
"Do you have today's papers?"
"...Yes, sir. I could get them for you if you want to read them."
"Yeah... Please do."
The nurse left the room leaving the trolley with the food behind.
'I gotta call Akio'
*riiiinnnggg* *rriiinnngg* *rrriinnngg*
"The number you dialed is unreachable-"
*Click*
*Riing riiiing riing*
"The number you dialed is unreachable-"
'What happened... Did he lose his phone again? Maybe he forgot to retrieve it from the police?...
Seems like I can't ask Akio for this.'
*click*
"Sir, here you go."
"Thanks."
Akira took the newspaper out of the nurse's hand. He then spread it out, and skimmed through each article.
'None here...
Nothing here either...
Nothing here as well'
He browsed the contents of the newspaper, and reviewed some of the pages, but...
'What the hell...? There's seriously nothing? That can't be... I was sure that event would be the headline of today's news. What's going on?'
Suddenly, a man with a fairly muscular figure, wearing reading glasses, came in bringing a small paper bag.
"Uncle Asami!"
"Good morning, Akira. Seems like your bruises have mostly recovered."
The nurse, seeing the serious looking man enter, decided to leave the room to the two of them.
Akira stared at Asami with hopeful eyes thinking that he might have understood the situation.
'Why wasn't the incident covered in today's papers? Is the government trying to hide that something as far-fetched as that occurred? What happened to the other passengers?'

These questions were most of the things he wanted to ask his teacher/uncle, Asami Takahito, however...
"You fought with someone again, didn't you?"
'...What?'
"I guess I shouldn't be asking that. Since it's pretty obvious."
"...yeah..."
"You know, Akira...
I've been teaching in our school longer than the others...Even though they keep telling me that you're a problem child, I know you aren't, that's why I want you to avoid fighting as much as possible. People keep getting the wrong idea about you."
"...
...
Wait...that's-"
"There are always other ways to resolve a conflict, and fighting shouldn't always be your solution. Although the people you fought might be in the wrong, you could have fixed the situation without violence."
"...Sir, you've said that b-"
"Judging from your injuries, I'm guessing you just straight up hit them. That's just you being rash."
"..."
"You should have just called the authorities or distracted the abusers to help the victim run away."
"Sir..."
"I know just how much you loved those heroes you see in fiction. I've been watching you grow for so long... but maybe, you should learn to let go of that dream. Be a bit more realistic. You might be a known delinquent here, but if you just stepped it up, you might just become a successful entrepreneur, or engineer or doctor. If it weren't for your high grades, you would've been expelled a while ago. Maybe if just stopped acting so childish, and-"
"...kept your foot out of other people's troubles."
"...
...
..Akira?"
"...you might just have a bright future before you."
"How'd you-"
"Sir, you've told me that before...in the classroom, have you forgotten?"
...
Asami stared at Akira with confusion, as if he heard him say something bizarre.
"What do you mean? I've never told you that before."
...
'...
What?'
Akira stared at the ground with confusion, then turned to Asami again.
"Sir, how many days have I been sleeping in this room?"
"... You haven't been here for long, right? From what I remember, you just fought someone again last night and you had to go here to get your injuries fixed."
'...What the!? ...but what about-'
"Sir... Did you visit the festival in the other town?"
"I did, with my wife actually, but I only went there during evening time. I'm still a teacher, you know. I can't just forget about my students."
"...Did you drive there with your wife?"
"No, I didn't. We took the train together because we thought it'd be quicker, but the train was really crowded because of the festival."
"The train....?"
"...Is there something wrong, Akira?"
'Was that all just a dream?
What happened?'
...
'Wait a second, it doesn't add up...'
"Uncle Asami...can I ask you something else?"
"Sure...what would you like to know?"
"Our class usually ends a few hours before the sunset, so if you head there immediately after class, you should have reached the town just a few minutes before sunset, right? Why did you take so long to get there?"
"... Well, the truth is...
We were originally planning to drive there because we knew the train would be crowded all day, but when we got in the car, I saw something weird..."
"Something weird....?"
'Is this something about the delinquents? What is it?'
"My gas was almost empty."
...
"Wait, that's it?"

"What do you mean that's it? For us adults, gas is a precious resource you know, and for it to be used up like that made me think that someone else might have used it."
'...wait, that's it!'
"Did you decide to go to the train right after?"
"No, my wife wanted me to fill in my car so we could just drive our way there...but..."
...
"...but what...?"
"I really don't need to tell you that...anyways, just get yourself rested, I'll be-"
"Wait!"
Just before Asami could leave the room, Akira stood up from his bed, streched his left arm and pulled his sleeve.
'...my left arm...?'
["Your left arm has been badly fractured, sir. We know you're just trying to make it look like it doesn't hurt, but we also know that you're still far away from being recovered completely."]
'...how did...?'
Asami turned to Akira and tried pulling his hand away.
"You should be resting, Akira, just let me go."
"Just tell me what happened! Please! I beg of you!"
"...Why are you going so far...?"
Akira let go of Asami's sleeve and stared at him with a serious expression. Seeing this, Asami turned back to Akira and listened closely.
"I've been...so clueless the past few days, and I've hated how everything was going into a direction I never wanted it to point to. If I don't figure out the truth about the situation now, I'm never gonna be able to calm down. People's lives are at stake here!"
"...What do you-"
Asami looked at Akira's eyes and realized how serious he actually was. Noticing this, Asami finally decided to open his mouth and tell Akira the rest of what he knows.
"The truth is..."
Asami, who's usually a responsible, stoic standing adult, put one hand on the back of his head and scratched it, making him look a little childish.
"I convinced my wife to go to the train with me, because I kinda wanted to feel young again. She accepted it pretty quickly, so... we both decided to go to the station"
...
"...huh?"
"Well, you know... As much as I love Kana, we're both almost always busy with our jobs. And we knew that we had slightly neglected our relationship with each other...
The two of us going to the festival, is sort of a date we were planning to do."
"A date...?"
'...but he...'
["Last night, while I was driving back home with my wife, a sweaty old man suddenly ran at our car telling us what was going on. He said his phone and wallet was stolen by delinquents and told us all about the delinquents using him as bait to get you there."]
"Do you always drive your wife home?"
"...No, she usually takes the car and drives herself to her workplace. We live near the school so I didn't need to drive it."
"... For the past week, have you ever drove your wife home?"
"No... She usually drives herself home, unless we have a dinner date."
...
'...So that means...'
"Even if you rode the crowded train, you shouldn't have took that long to get there, right? Did you notice anything weird in the train?"
"... Come to think of it, I don't really remember much of what happened in the train."
'...I knew it!'
"Okay, one last question...
...
When was the last time you've seen Akio?"
"... The last time I saw him was when you were admitted here two day-
...
Wait... You were just admitted here last night, right? How...? Am I just getting too old"
'That's it!'
"Thanks for answering me, Uncle Asami... You can go now."
Asami noticed Akira's expression as if he was able to clear something that confused him.
"... Whatever happens, just remember, I believe in you, Akira."
"..."
["STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD, AKIRA. YOU CAN'T BECOME A HERO, STOP PLAYING AS ONE!"]
"That's kinda weird, coming from you."
"Heh, I just knew... from the look on your face, that you're finally planning do something without your usual recklessness."
"...
...
...
I might just be."
____________________________________
In a wooden classroom filled with students, tables and chairs, sat Akira.
"Sir, is ta exam gon' be hard? Pleeeaze tell us it ain't gon' be!"
"Ahhhh! I haven't studied a goddamn thin' at all!"
"So, dis should be like dis, ey? And this-"
The class seemed to have started getting a bit too noisy, so Asami decided to quiet them down.
"Shhh! Go on and study now. You should do your best in this exam. I've taught you so much this whole year. I don't want anyone of you to disappoint me now."
"Sir, iz it true that yer wife is 'ere? I heard she's totes the prettiest woman ever! I wanna meet her too!", a female student said while cheering.
"Be quiet. She just came here to check up on me. She knew I'd probably stay here for a while so she wanted to come and visit. I wouldn't want to trouble her too much. Just focus on studying for now."
'...oh yeah, she was with Uncle Asami in the train...
...'
"Okay class, time's up. Let's start the exam."
"Ehhhhhhhhh..."
Some of the students looked like the world has fallen on them, some looked confident, and some, like Akira, seemed to look like they weren't worrying about the exam at all.
____________________________________
*Tuk tuk*, the papers ruffled as Asami arranged all of them in his hands.
"So with this ends our semester...
You will all need to do your best in your entrance exams in other schools. I'm glad to have became your homeroom teacher for the past few years. Today, marks the end of our paths crossing, but don't worry, since even if you don't get to see me anymore... I'll always be here believing in all of you."
"Uuuhhhh!!! *Sob sob sob* Sensei! *Sob* We're gon' be missin' ya so much!"
"Thanks fer always takin' care of us, sensei!"
"*Sob* Thanks for forcin' yerself to repeat some lessons jus' becoz of me, sensei! *Sob*"
"*Sob sob* We're gonna miss ya!"
The students were all crying and sobbing thinking about how this is the last day they'll ever go to a class in that classroom again.
"Oh come on, kids. Don't be like that. If we see each other again, you could always greet me."
"...but *sob* yer gonna retire, right? We might never get ta see ya anymore!*sob*"
'Oh...right, uncle was retiring, huh?:
"It's okay. My wife was scared about me being taken by some country girl as well. I hate to admit, but...even though I was only able to get a small income from this job, I'm glad to have been able to meet all of you. I wish you all the luck with your universities.", Asami stared with a smile on his face.
"*sob* Sensei!! Uuhhhhaaaa!!! Don't retire, sensei! I'll steal you from your wife instead! *sob*"
"What was that?"
'Huh?'
From the classroom doorway, emerged a mature looking violet haired beautiful lady wearing an office skirt with an obviously irritated expression.
"D-d-darling...why are you?"
"I came here to check up on you because your class is taking so long, I can't believe you're here flirting with youe students."
"I-I-I wasn't, d-d-d-darling."
'''''''SENSEI!?'''''''
Everyone was shocked to see the normally stoic, serious teacher that had been teaching them for so long, had this side of him.
"Well, this wasn't just what I came here for..."
...
She walked all the way to the teacher's desk, making Asami-sensei move, and put her hands towards the teacher's desk.
"Takehito had always been the most childish man even though he always shows a strong front. And he...
...had always been wishing the best for all his students...
I know it'll be hard for all of you to adjust to the city life, since you've been living in the countryside for so long, but both of us believe in your success. Some of you here will become great entrepreneurs, some engineers, some accountants, and some-"
She then stopped on her words and stared at Akira for a while.
'...huh?...why is she...?'
"...might even be able to accomplish the impossible..."
Akira's eyes widened, as if realizing that she was pertaining to him.
"You might not be able to cross paths with Takehito as much as you had always been, but remember that...whatever happens, he'll always be wishing the best for all of you...
That whatever obstacle you face in your way, he'll always be here to wish for you getting pass it. And whatever downfall you experience...
...he'll always be here believing that you'll pick yourself back up."
Hearing these words, the students just couldn't help but cry harder while looking at their former homeroom teacher.
"And once each of your dreams have been accomplished, you could just treat us in an expensive restaurant or something..."
'''''''Oh, that's what she was after...'''''''
The students couldn't help but laugh at what the woman said before them.
"And with that,", Asami said with a gentle smile.
"Class is dismissed."
The students all went to Asami and started bawling their eyes out even harder.
The female students who hugged him irritated his wife, but all in all, she was happy too.
Seeing this scene, Akira decided to just leave his questions for another day, and left the classroom...
________________________________________________________________________________
He walked down the stairs to the first floor and planned to head out to the exit, when...
He saw someone standing in front of it, trying to block the doorway.
"Akio.", Akira said while staring at his little brother.
"..."
Akio, who was wearing his unifom, kept his eyes on the ground.
"I was looking for you. You even forgot your phone."
Hearing this, he turned his head towards Akira and stared at him, but for some reason, his eyes were filled with seriousness, as if he really didn't want Akira to exit the building.
"...It's here."
Akio took out his phone out of his pocket and decided to put it back.
"What did the officer say?"
"He said I needed to be more careful about my stuff."
...
"...So you do remember."
"Of course, he does."
Akira didn't turn around,but he already knew who was gonna show up behind him.
"I knew you were involved in this, aunt Kana."
The woman from earlier, stepped down the stairs and decided to walk all the way beside Akio.
"How did you figure out it wasn't just a dream?", Akio asked Akira.
"Uncle Takehito told me all about it. Before the incident about me being beaten up occured, Aunt Kana and him were driving down near the convenience store when an old man came up to them. He told me that he usually doesn't drive for you, unless you were out for a date...
For some reason though, he acted like the date never happened, and decided to take you to a date at the festival."
"How'd you conclude that it all wasn't just a hallucination from your side?"
"Because he told me the car's gas was somehow part empty...
Uncle Takehito is the meticulous type of person, he cared about the simple things and made sure everything was perfect before doing anything... There's no way the car's fuel would randomly disappear on him like that...
You did have a date together before the festival."
"Interesting, but how did you figure out I was involved in this", Kana inquired.
"There were three reasons why I realized YOU were involved in this...
First of all, Uncle told me that you, always took the car to your work. That means you would have known that refueling the car and taking it for a drive to the festival, would be the more convenient option. Unless you also wish to feel 'young' again like uncle did, there must be another reason why you, who seem to be the stronger one in your relationship, seemed to have accepted it immediately after he asked you 'he wanted to feel young again'."
"Hmmm..."
"The second reason is that uncle said he doesn't seem to remember most of what happened in the train, but for some reason, he didn't try to question what happened until I asked him. It's as if someone who was there with him, made him think that in that span of time during the train departure, nothing happened. Someone made him feel as if he just slept through the ride."
"Hmmmmmmmm..."
"And lastly, you..."
Akira curled his eyebrows downwards keeping his eyes on Kana, who kept a serious look on her face.
"...you stared at my left arm earlier."
["some accountants, and some-"
Kana turned her eyes towards Akira's left arm.
"...might even be able to acconplish the impossible..."]
"You knew it was supposed to still be injured, didn't you?"
Kana smiled and bowed down a little to Akira with her eyes pointing like a gun at Akira.
"Bingo."
Akira was shocked to see Kana's eyes suddenly changing to a golden color with her pupils changing into a star shaped pentagram.
"What are you...?"
Akio then, took a step forward and decided to ask Akira as well.
"Before we start, how did you figure out I was involved as well?"
"Yesterday, before I lost consciousness, I heard your voice from inside the train, which is weird because most of the other delinquents shoot the passengers as soon as they move the slightest bit. There's also the thing about the phone, but most of all...
You didn't respond to me calling your name the first time around."
"..."
"And it's all because...
...
...
I lost my accent."
"Huh, I didn't expect you'd figure us out that easily."
"At first, I didn't notice I lost it, because it's my own voice, but I figured it out when I heard my former classmates speak."
["Sir, is ta exam gon' be hard? Pleeeaze tell us it ain't gon' be!"
"Ahhhh! I haven't studied a goddamn thin' at all!"
"So, dis should be like dis, ey? And this-"]
'Thanks to whoever those three are...'
"So what now? You two gonna try and silence me or something?"
"Akio... do it."
'... Huh?'
Akio pulled his right hand and clenched it as if he was holding something.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind gathered through his hand.
"Wait, holy shit. What the fuck is that?"
Once he gathered enough wind, it turned into a spinning ball.
Akio, who had a serious look on his face suddenly glared at Akira and charged at him.
"Akio, wait. What are you-"
Akio lunged at Akira with the ball of strong wind in his hands.
Noticing that he won't stop, Akira jumped out of the area he was standing on and ran near the stairway.
The windball in Akio's hand was thrown by him while lunging, but was dodged by Akira.
The ball of wind hit the wooden floor.
*PHWOOOSSHHHH!*
Akio's strike made a large deep hole in the floor, destroying even the soil below it.
'You've got to be kidding me... This is...
like one of those anime that I watched!'
Akira couldn't help but smile a little thinking about how cool Akio looked like.
"You can still smile in a situation like this, huh?", wondered Kana.
"Maybe you guys should take it easy, the students, teachers and uncle are still up there-"
"You don't have to worry about them."
'...huh?'
"Wait, don't tell me...you-"
"Yeah, they're all unconscious now."
...
"...Well, that wasn't really what I was expecting..."
"I wouldn't kill my husband just to go after you..."
"...huh...
So all this was just to get me, right?"
"You're pretty smart after all... Yes, all of this was so we could get to you."
"You had all those delinquents unite, somehow manipulated my little brother and even looked for the chance where I'd be isolated just to get to me, didn't you?"
Akira stated while smiling.
"So I really am...someone with special abilities after all!", he said while keeping a smug expression on his face.
"...Well, some of it was true..."
...
"...What?"
"Those delinquents that fought you, they all did that on their own. We never knew something like that would happen to the train also. It's true you had a special ability though."
"...Oh...", Akira bashfully replied.
"At that time, when I was in the train, I lost consciousness so I don't remember everything, but I do remember... feeling something... extraordinary...
I thought back then... I had to do something. And it felt like, something just happened...", Akira reminisced while staring at his clenched right hand.
Seeing this, Kana's eyes suddenly widened, and then, a grin was formed on her face.
"...so it seems like you had it in you after all."
Akira pulled up his head and stared at Kana who showed a smug looked on her face again.
"...but you seem to have forgetten another thing you brought up from earlier."
"...What do you mean?", Akira seriously asked.
"You said I manipulated your brother, right?"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind gathered on Akio's left and right hand.
'Both hands...?'
"That was also wrong."
'...What...?'
"Akio...decided to do this-"
Akio suddenly charged at Akira again.
"...by his own will."
Akira barely managed to dodge both of his strikes, causing a wooden wall to collapse.
He started running up the stairs to escape from Akio.
'WHAT? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?'
Akio ran after Akira forming a strong gust of wind all over his forearms.
"AKIO? YOU'RE POWER IS COOL AND ALL, BUT WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?"
*BOOOOMMMM*
Akio threw two mini tornadoes from his forearm to Akira's direction.
'GODDAMMIT!'
Akira dodged and ran through the classroom hallways, planning to get on the school's roof.
'I'm gonna try and make him think I'm cornered and run back to the other direction while he's distracted.'
Akio suddenly crouched down and stopped for a minute.
"Huh?", Akira wondered.
'What the hell is he...?
...
Oh...crap'
Akira started running again when he noticed that... Akio was touching his feet to gather wind around them.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind was heard behind Akira.
"Damn you, Akio!", Akira screamed.
As Akio charged like a jet with tornado on the ends of his shoes, Akira suddenly turned sideways and let Akio pass in front of him.
'While he's fixing his trajectory, I gotta run. If he tries shooting for me again I need to immediately hide in the classrooms.'
After a few steps, Akio suddenly shot up again like a jet towards Akira.
Noticing this Akira turned around and went inside a classroom.
'Dammit! He's too quick, I can't just...
...
...
...
...Shit!'
["Yeah, they're all unconscious now."]
Inside the classroom Akira went to, were a bunch of young students lying unconscious.
'I almost forgot about that... I need to get away from here before he-...
...
...
...He's too quick, huh?'
Akio ran from the end of the classroom hallway and opened the doors looking for Akira.
He only saw for a split-second, but he knew he was still in one of them, hiding.
*Creak* *creak* *creak* *creak*
Akio kept opening door after door and kept an eye on the hallway to see if he tries to escape, until finally... he found him.
"There you are!"
"NO, WAIT-"
"Wind jet!"
Akio immediately charged to Akira's direction, but before he could...
"Hup!"
Akira made himself fall down, revealing an open window behind him.
*BAM*
Akio fell down from the second floor classroom window and crashed outside at the third tree stood a few meters next to the school.
"Ugh..."
Akio saw Akira closing the window and immediately running away from the classroom.
"He opened the window to prevent you from fixing your inertia if you crash headfirst to the glass, good thinking.", commented Kana, who was walking towards the bruised Akio.
"That wasn't it."
"...Huh? Was I wrong?", wondered Kana while tilting her head.
"He knew that it was hard to control wind jet's trajectory and made me fly across from the window, but if I were to crash on glass at that speed, I would be a bloody mess right now.", Akio kept a confident smile while brushing off the piece of wood on his face.
"You really are brothers."
Akio stood up and prepared to use wind jet again.
"...Go back to the classroom I crashed out off."
"What for?", Kana asked with a confused tone.
"He left another surprise there that even I was shocked to see."
"Huh?"
*Phhhhssshhhh*
Then Akio charged into the school again.
____________________________________
Akira was running in the third floor hallway and kept running to the upper stairway.
'I just have to lose him. If they made everyone here pass out, that would mean that they didn't want anyone figuring out about what was happening here right now...
I don't know whatever's going on with Akio's mind, and why the hell he's trying to kill me... but if I run to a more crowded area, they might stop chasing me. When that happens, that's when I'll start to think of what I plan to do next.'
Just before Akira could step onto the stairway...
*PHHHSSSSHH BAM*
Akio charged onto him with his fist and his feet covered with a small tornado about 3 times the size of his forearms from below destroying the floor below Akira, and punching his stomach.
"GAHHHH!", Akio suddenly spat from his mouth.
...but before Akira could fall down the hole, he immediately grabbed the stairway and pulled himself up and ran to the upper floor while holding his stomach.
Akio landed in front of the stairway, just inches from the hole.
"You still don't have any plans to give up, do you, bro?...
...Well, let's see what happens next."
Akira ran through the fourth floor hallway with his hand on his stomach.
'DAMMIT! GODDAMNIT! Akio's not like this! I used to fight so many other people when I was a child but girls usually flock on him because of his gentleness so he usually doesn't start a fight with me. If I could just somehow use some kind of ability, like what he's doing, I might be able to-"
"WIND EDGE!"
*PHHSHHH BAM!*
"GWAAAAHHH!"
Akio charged and kicked Akira with his hand forming a mini tornado and his feet forming a blade made of wind underneath.
*BAM*
Akira was pushed all the way through the hallways and crashed at the stairway to the rooftop.
"D-damn i-"
"AIR BLAST!"
*PPHHHHHSSSHHWWW*
Seeing it coming, Akira lied down the floor to dodge it.
Suddenly, a tornado shot up from Akio's hand breaking the stairway, making a large hole at the edge of the 4th floor.
"What now? You can't get to the roof anymore... Do you still have any more tricks up your sleeve?"
"What the hell are you doing, Akio!? I'm your brother!"
"So you're just gonna cower around and play brothers, huh?"
'...'
"AIR BLA-"
"DAMMIT!"
*PPPPHHHSSSHHHWWW*
The wind made the trees outside bend and form cracks on them...
After a while the wind finally subsided.
Kana, walked towards Akio and stared at him.
From one of the trees in the distance outside, Akira's upper uniform was seen ripped apart.
"Don't try to fool me!"
Akio kicked the door beside the stairway and found Akira crouching down with scars on his naked torso.
"Dammit!
Akio...stop this! Don't listen to her!"
Akio grinned at Akira, while walking closer to him and said.
"You are kinda stupid, aren't you, bro?"
He then stopped in front of him next to a teacher's desk.
'Dammit, what am I-'
"You even forgot this was your classroom."
'SHIT!'
Akio pointed his hand towards the passed out Takahito wearing an evil grin, gathered wind on his arm and screamed:
"AIR BLAST!"
"AKIO!", Kana screamed with shock.
"DAMMIT!"
["you might just have a bright future before you."]
["STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD, AKIRA. YOU CAN'T BECOME A HERO, STOP PLAYING AS ONE!"]
["Whatever happens, just remember...
...
...I believe in you, Akira."]
*PHHHHHSSSSHHHHWWW BAM!*
A large wave of wind suddenly exited the room.
Kana held both of her arms forward posed like an X before her. She was trying to keep herself from being blowed away from the large amount of wind that was leaving the room.
"Damn, that Akio. Trying to involve my darling on this. If he gets hurt, he's not getting away from it."
...
"Heh."
Kana's eyes widen as she hears Akio's voice.
'Did he-
...
Oh no-'
"I knew you'd pull it off, bro."
Akio's uniform was ripped apart and he had bruises everywhere.
"Aunt Kana, we did it-"
Akio suddenly passed out.
"Did he finally...?"
The wind and dust started clearing up and it finally shown Akira.
His arms had glowing green root lines on them.
A green lined slightly transparent semi-rectangular shield was in front of him, and his wounds were healing with a green light flowing from them.
"Thi-this is..."
Kana stared at Takehito, and then at Akira.
'So this,' thought Kana.
'is the look of the man who saved more than ten thousand of people in a day'
'A true Savior.'
End of Chapter 02

Kana Asami
Ability: ???
*She was involved in the incidents
*She very much loves Takehito, the teacher, so much she gets obssesive.
I called Takehito Asami the last chapter since no one else was Asami until now. Asami is Kana's surname.
The green lines on Akira's forearms were supposed to look like Emiya Shirou's trace on from the fate/stay night series.

Extra: "Akira's graduation"
On a field with a wooden stage, lots of parents and students were scattered throughout the area.
The students, were all wearing a white long robe with a cap with a square top on his head.
One of them was Akira.
He was holding his diploma on his hand and was showing a tired expression as his mother, who came back all the way from Brighton, took pictures of him.
Their mother was a middle-aged beauty but was as innocent as her looks.
She had black hair, was wearing a white polo and a long skirt, and a wide smile in her face as she pointed her camera to Akira.
"Come on, Ra-chan! Look here!"
"Mom, stop it, it's embarassing..."
Akio wore a striped shirt, a cardigan and comfortable pants and also had a wide but sarcsstic smile on his face
"You look *pffft* great bro...", Akio said while trying to hold back his laughter.
'Damn, this doesn't suit my personality at all...
Maybe I should've just repeated a grade.'
"Oh, nee-chan!", a familiar voice enters the group.
"Take-chan, you retired, right? And you weren't assigned to see the students off in their graduation. Did you come here to see my little munchkin as well", asked Akira's and Akio's mother.
"I am. Throughout all these years, this kid had been doing nothing but trouble, now he's all grown up and prepared to study in a university.", said Takehito with a tear on his eye.
"I know how you feel Take-chan.", comforted the mother while grabbing his shoulder.
""We're getting old."", both of them said with tears on their eyes.
Akio and Akira could only stare at them with a wry smile.
"Mom really did lose her country accent.", Akio said to Akira.
"At least she still hadn't forgotten her roots.", smiled Akira with her head turned down while staring at his mother's pocket that had a red hankerchief with a drawn face of a tv show hero and written text that says 'awesum hero' on it.
'She still has that mini cape I gave her back then, huh?'
A few other students went to Takehito and seems like some of the other students, seeing Akira interact with his mother, saw him with a better light and greeted him as well.
"Ey, Ishikawa-kun, congrats'!"
"Yeah! You too."
Akira greeted some of his classmates back.
'Now that we won't be seeing them again, might as well be nice for a change, right?'
"Hey, Ishikawa-san, I know we won't be seein' each other anymore. So I jus' wanna say good luck with yer university life!... And I think you would be really cute if ya smiled a bit.", a slightly cute freckled face girl from Akira's class who was with her friends walked up to him and told him.
"Yeah, I wish the best for all of you too.", Akira replied and gave her a big sparkling smile.
For a moment, the girls felt as if time stopped as the usually intimidating, and threatening Akira who was always rather unapproachable, showed a very handsome smile that made him look like he's sparkling.
"I... uh... kinda want to see you still after all.", mumbled the girl who was blushing all over her face.
"Huh?", Akira confusedly wondered.
"Hey Ra-chan, come here! Take a picture with me Take-chan and Io-chan!", Akira's mom ordered Akira.
"Yes...mom...", Akira answered with a sluggish expression.
The girls only giggled at him and went their way while waving at Akira.
The four of them stood together, side by side as they got a plain looking stranger take a picture of them.
After taking a few pictures, their mother walked to the stranger to thank him and checked the camera and noticed...
"It wouldn't be complete without me, would it, Ko-chan?"
"Kana-chan!", exclaimed the mother with a bright smile.
They noticed that the photos they took had her behind them making bunny ears on Takehito and the mother.
"I came here not only to see my nephew in his judicial robe, but to tell you something of importance, Ko-chan."
The mother looked at her with a serious expression and after a while, smiled.
"I know...
...
Akira's finally gonna take the first step to his lifelong dream."
With a smile, Akira turned his back towards them who were both smiling at each other, put his hands in his pants' below his gown's pockets and said:
"I'm gonna give my all into it."
Akio, the mother and Kana smiled at this declaration, showing that from then on, Akira's about to be a changed man.
...
...
"What? What are you all talking about?", Takehito asked.
""""...""""
''''Oh yeah, I forgot he's(darling's) here'''', everyone though with a bashful expression.

8 130Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

8 206Cornucopia of Hope
The graduating class of Hope's Peak Academy has been kidnapped sometime after their graduation ceremony. They wake up in a beautiful, plush mansion with no idea where they could be other than the name Our Mansion of Plenty. The physical barriers of steel plates and locked doors might not be enough to cage them, if it weren't for the malicious mechanical fairy calling itself The Fey and ruling their new lives with an iron--albeit tiny--fist. While being kidnapped is bad enough, the fact that this fairy brat is telling them to kill each other is definitely worse. Apparently, murdering one of your fellow victims is the only way to get out of this luxurious mansion. But nobody would do that...right? Cornucopia of Hope is a non-canon killing game completely alienated from the the canon universe of the Danganronpa games. The things borrowed from the games are as followed: Hope's Peak Academy, and the structure of 16ish hyper-skilled teenagers trapped in an enclosed space and being subjected to a motive, a murder, an investigation, a trial, and an execution of the presumed killer. There are no spoilers, tie ins, or previous knowledge required of the series to read this story!
