《Save State》Chapter 6
Advertisement
In the morning. An alarm clock goes off. Which Takeshi immediately smashed shut.
"Oh, it's morning."
He checked if the save times really do reset and it does.
"Ah. What a relief. I couldn't stop thinking about it but it really does resets every 12 midnight."
He goes up to take a bath and prepare for school.
Last night. The man remained in the store until the next employee comes in to switch with him and so he goes home after then without any ruckus on the road.
After going up. He heads to the bathroom but his mother is nowhere to be found on his way there.
"She must have left early. It's good that she did not prepare breakfast.... We need to pay our debts after all."
He brushed his teeth and took shower.
After going out of the bathroom. He goes back to his room and changed into his uniform. Heads out after locking the door and proceeds to go to school.
Then he puts on his earphones and plays music.
On the same spot as the first day where both of them died. He waited for the traffic lights again.
"Better save, I guess. If I died. I'll reset to last night."
He saved and continued waiting for the light to go green.
"Yo!!!"
But Takeshi could hear that call as he's currently playing music on the maximum volume.
Suddenly. Something taps on his shoulder.
!
He immediately turned around and saw that it was Mitsuo.
"Oh…"
"Good morning!"
"Uh… you're here again."
"Hah! Of course. I'm on my way to school after all."
"…"
"Let's walk together!"
"Yeah, yeah."
They walked together to school and finally arrived
Many girls saw them and they started chatting about them.

"Hey. That guy on the left. The one with blue hair? What's his name?"
"Oh. If I recall correctly. That's Takeshi. He's in class 2-A. A freshman."
Another pair of girls chat.
"Who's the that guy? He looks nice."
"That's Mitsuo. I heard about him yesterday."
"Really? They both look very handsome."
"Yeah! You said it right!"
But then. The spotlight has been taken.
"Thank god, their attention is no longer on us."
"Haha. Can't handle that kind of thing Takeshi-san? Well. For me. This is the first time I felt proud of myself for exercising."
"You got time for that? Even though you're a gamer?"
"I just don't like being picked on liked before."
"But those thugs yesterday are picking on you yet you still comply to what they wanted."
"Eh… that's a different story, haha."
They both stopped as they saw a car being driven.
"A limo!?"
"Who is that rich dude?"
The driver came out and assisted the esteemed passenger.
To their surprise. It was none other than Sui.
"S-Sui-kun!?"
"Never knew he's this rich."
"M-me too."
"Let's just continue to the classroom. He'll go there later after all."
"Y-yeah. You're right. Still... I can't believe it."
They walk to the classroom, entered and sat on their seats.
A minute later. Sui arrived.
"Good morning! Sui-kun."
"…"
Instead, Sui continued and sat on his seat.
"Eh… Ignoring me again."
The beautiful girl which talked to him yesterday approached him once again.
"Good morning Mitsuo."
"Oh, good morning Sakura-san."
They continued talking and later then. The teacher arrived.
"Sorry. Gotta go."
"Y-yeah. Okay."
"You two sure like talking with each other, huh?"
"Told you. I'm talkative. I'll talk to anyone though. As long as they're willing to talk to me."

"Seriously."
"What? You're annoyed by that?"
"Nah. Just a little bit."
"Shush, the teacher's starting."
"Oh."
A few classes passed and it's currently lunchtime.
As they are walking to the cafeteria. There is a fight. A girl had been thrown out of the door.
"H-hey man! Why is he fighting a girl?"
"Uh…. Just leave them alone. You'll find out why she's fighting that guy."
"You think you could bully in my class!?"
"Huh!? So what if I am bullying!? I don't give a shit about women. And since you can fight. Then it gives me more reason to fight you."
"[email protected] you!"
The girl immediately gets up but she's pinned on the wall as soon as she does so.
"You bastard."
"Come on. What martial art do you train on?"
"Martial art? Well. It's.."
Before she finished her answer. She delivered a destructive blow. Frontal knee strike. Right on his chest.
"Guaahh! T-that's it! Either kickboxing… or MMA."
He pulled her to gain some space and then flipped her.
She landed on her back which produced a loud thud and cracking sound.
"J-judo!?"
"That's right. Judo."
"Uhhh…"
"Now. Your protector is gone! This classroom belongs to me now! I Yasuhiko Hirota is the boss here."
"Takeshi-san... Shouldn't we help her?"
"Nah. Don't mind other people's business."
"B-but.... We're just leaving it like that?"
"Yeah. I only step up if it is about me and those with me."
"But let's at least break it up."
"How will you break it up since it's finished? That girl can't stand anymore."
"Hey! What's happening here?"
"Hey. It's Fujioka."
"Hey, dumbass. Can't you see what's happening? I broke her spine."
"You bastard. How dare you do this to a woman."
He rushes to the girl and helped her stand up.
"Boss! What's happening here!?"
"Hey. I might trouble you but please bring her to the infirmary."
"Anything for our boss! Please let me take her."
Ukyo quickly gave her to him and he sets off to the infirmary.
"How dare you do that?"
"What? Do you have anything against it? She asked for a fight. I don't give a shit about women and I will best those who piss me."
"You're just a scum."
"Hah. You piss me. You bastard."
"Oh? How about we go for a round?"
"Hah. Really!? Hope you're fun to fight against."
"Of course I am."
"Ukyo! What's happening here?"
"Takeshi-san. That's Toshiro. They know each other?"
"Yeah. And that Ukyo seemed to be the boss."
"Nothing, Toshiro. Hold my uniform for me. Let me just serve justice for this time." He replied and gave Toshiro his uniform. He does his stance. Which is.
"Muay Thai, Huh? This will be fun."

“One in a billion.” Jack kept repeating the mantra in his head. “One in a billion.” That was the number the Omni-Corps liked to cite whenever someone stepped onto one trans-mat pad and then simply… never stepped off the other. “Safer than a car,” he repeated as he slogged through the snow, his mining overalls doing at least a passable job of keeping out the cold as he brushed aside a tree branch. “Safer than a plane. Or a starship. Safest form of transport in the Star League.” He slammed his fist into a nearby tree, exo-empowered strength shattering it into little more than scattered bark and kindling. “Yeah, well I never heard of a car ride stranding some prick in another dimension!” He roared, his voice echoing through the seemingly endless forest around him. Then he kept marching. He’d seen the fire off in the distance. And given all the snow around, he sincerely doubted it was natural. Which left the unnatural. Which meant people. He hoped. Because even if the trans-mat had screwed up, he doubted it had dumped him too far off the central finite curve. The fact that the air was breathable and that he could recognize the trees around him as oak told him that much. And if the dimension he was in had trees native to Earth, chances are it would have animals too. Of which humans would hopefully be no exception. “Because I’ll be damned if I spend the rest of my days talking to goddamn squirrels.” No, if there were humans on this mudball, he was going to find them. One way or another.
