"So, this is a public school"Clearly, the boy was from unordinary origins. With the way he carried himself and the way he sat had a bit of training found in an ancient general. This didn"t go unnoticed by Chiyo as she tried really hard to remember who it was. A scrutinising look was plastered on her face as she kept looking back.
"f.u.kuyamsan, please concentrate"
Surprised by the sudden shout Chiyo final let it go
"Hai"
The rest of the day went normal until break. Tos.h.i.+ro remained quiet throughout the whole morning as he silently observed the cla.s.sroom. If not for his gla.s.ses, everyone would be able to see his curious eyes wondering around with looks of understanding here and there.
"So that is a gyaru, they have a rebellious yellow aura, then that group in front is the so-called yankee. Hm they seem unimportant, but the blonde one keeps looking at this guy in front of me with such hostility, he is bathing in a black aura. Looking at this guy"s posture and breathing, he seems to be hurt, probably been bullied"
The whole morning went like this until break. It was as if he had never been to a high school ever. Break occurred with the sound of a bell and everyone went to their respective groups. A few students came around Tos.h.i.+ro and started a casual conversation with things like what school did he got to before, why did he transfer here and the like.
He gave small yet pleasant responses allowing others to lower their guard around him. After a small amount of time he got along with quite a few of the people around him. Suddenly the chatter died down as someone came in front of him.
"The G.o.ddess is in front of him"
Yuki stood there looking at him. She never knew why he was here, but she was angry she was never told beforehand. It was her fiancé after all. Giving a cold look to the people around him, she was able to deter them, leaving the two alone. As Chiyo was also curious she came up next to him while Endo had to leave to do some errands for the teacher.
Yuki looked at Tos.h.i.+ro and interrogated
"Why are you here, Tos.h.i.+ro?"
The confused Chiyo finally realised who the boy was and why Yuki reacted in the way she did. Tos.h.i.+ro bought his gla.s.ses down as he looked at the two girls.
"A beautiful blue as always, Yuki and a fiery red for our, Chiyo-Sama"
This caused Chiyo to be fl.u.s.tered as Tos.h.i.+ro turned to her.
"It"s been a long time, Young Master"
Chiyo was preparing to bow until she heard Tos.h.i.+ro speak
"Don"t bow, similar to Yuki, no one knows my ident.i.ty her and I would like no one to know. Plus, it"s my first time in a public high school, I would like to experience it"
"Hai"
This earned a giggle from Yuki as she sat down and started talking. Seeing the occasional smile, a look of relief was seen in Chiyo"s eyes as she also sat down and joined in the conversation. It was rare for her friend to get worked up over something and this was one of those rare moments. Looking at Tos.h.i.+ro a bit of disappointment was present in her heart when she looked at him. She tried not to show it but was already noticed by Tos.h.i.+ro. Matsumura Tos.h.i.+ro a popular name. The first person you think of will be the second son form the Matsumura family. A family of Samurai"s dating its ancestors back to an emperor of j.a.pan. Their linage has survived for hundred years with their presence being in both, the military and politics. If Yuki is the largest mountain in the school, then Tos.h.i.+ro is the moon.
Anyone can come in contact with a mountain, but only a select few can make contact with the moon.
The cla.s.s was surprised that their G.o.ddess actually sat down with someone so average. No one would think that the person they were cursing under their breaths was someone so famous. Indeed, why would someone famous be so average. Having a similar name was quite normal in j.a.pan, plus the way he wrote it was different.
Although the three could guess what the cla.s.s was thinking they couldn"t care less. Yuki and Chiyo were G.o.ddesses in the eyes of the cla.s.s so no one would approach them so easily, however Tos.h.i.+ro was different.
At first everyone was cautious but a few members with sufficient backgrounds tried looking into who he was, but no one found anything. With their experience in light novels some people stood up and explained a certain plot. The princess and the commoner. Although some thought it wasn"t that easy, well it was the real world, some weren"t that clever and waited…and waited…and waited.
"Why is she still there?"
Tetsu complained. He was going to take the lead in this, so he was the most frustrated of all. He was incomparably envious. Although he knew that he didn"t have the qualifications for her, how would someone beneath even him would have the qualifications. Endo had long since come back and knew exactly what was happening but chose not to interfere. He didn"t feel envious, but rather jealousy. In his mind, only he had the qualifications for someone of Yuki"s stature. However, it was the first time he had felt like this, so he didn"t attribute it to jealousy but rather him finding Tos.h.i.+ro unpleasant.
Endo was in a way naïve, and being his first time feeling this way, clouded his judgement. He may be morally upright but at the current moment he was just another man who felt that his possession was being taken away.
Endo saw the smile on Yuki"s face and started feeling another strange feeling, hate. Hate for Tos.h.i.+ro, hate for him existing. As dark desires sprouted in his heart it caught the eye of Tos.h.i.+ro. However, he paid it no heed, he didn"t think that it was targeted at him but rather the unfortunate soul in front of him. He had a sort of grey colour; it was as if he was on the border of insanity but was able to keep his mind sane.
"Hmm, his name is Sato Akira if I remember, just one push and…"
Matsumura Tos.h.i.+ro was a unique and extremely curious individual since young. He was able to identify the intentions of the people around him ever since he could remember. This had saved his life countless times from a.s.sa.s.sinations before his parents found out the unusualness of the child. He had a loving family, something you wouldn"t expect from such a powerful family. It was all because of the doctrines pa.s.sed down from their ancestors that allowed their family to survive till now.
In that family, even though he was feared by the rest, his parents and sibling always stood by his side. He was a lucky child, as if blessed by the G.o.ddess of fortune herself. Experts were called to see into Tos.h.i.+ro"s situation and all of them came up with one result,
He was able to see a person"s "aura".
There were many names for this condition, but in the modern age it was known as Synaesthesia. This condition was more related to objects, such as one person would have a certain type of food then relate it to a colour or see a number or letter and relate that to a colour. Tos.h.i.+ro"s seems to have taken a step further and was able to see a person"s aura.
There would have been no issue"s until Tos.h.i.+ro"s curiosity took over
"What would happen if I gave it the push"
He seemed tempted but was immediately bought back from the bell ringing. The rest of the people with the intent of harming him were also disappointed as they watched the teacher walk in. Suddenly, Tos.h.i.+ro could feel those malicious gazes leaving his body. He thought they were targeted towards Akira in front of him, but he seemed to have mistaken their intention"s direction.
"Why?"
This was Tos.h.i.+ro"s first time in a high school, so he couldn"t guess their intentions. Talking to Yuki was normal for him as she was his fiancé, but he knew that no one knew her ident.i.ty, nor did they know his so he couldn"t see their reason for such hostility.
"Why would they direct their hostility towards me?"
You could say that it was his misfortune in not understanding the cla.s.s. It was rare for their G.o.ddess to pay attention to someone or even smile towards their direction and this transfer student took both.
After break, cla.s.ses went on as normal until it was time for their fourth cla.s.s. History. This was by far Tos.h.i.+ro"s favourite subject, being from such an ancient family he found the wars of old extremely fascinating. So, he read up various art of wars and looked at many historical books.
Sadly, for him, it was just a normal history session about something that happened in the past. No one paid any attention, apart from the boys who were ogling the teacher. She had black hair and an extremely voluptuous body. Small nose, enchanting blue eyes and luscious red lips that you would just want to take a bite off. She was quite tall, and truth be told, even Tos.h.i.+ro"s heart was stirred but that was all. Her name was Izumo Mikka, a cute name for someone with such a figure.
"Izumo-sensei, the princ.i.p.al wants to see you and s.h.i.+noharsan the student council president wants to see you"
In the middle, however, for reasons unknown, Mikka was called alongside Yuki. While leaving Mikka"s seductive voice was heard
"While I"m away, study by yourselves"
Tos.h.i.+ro suspected something suspicious but once again paid no heed.
You can now see the inexperience of Tos.h.i.+ro. He was hiding his ident.i.ty while still keeping the same mentality of a prince. Paying no heed when something happens. This could be due to lack of experience and believing nothing could harm him while forgetting where and who he was currently. His life wasn"t in any danger, nevertheless, it was frustrating.
As soon as they left, the students stopped revising and started talking to themselves. This time no one came to talk to Tos.h.i.+ro, so he just remained there.
"A surprising number of letters are being pa.s.sed around"
Tos.h.i.+ro was bored out of his mind and took the initiative to talk to Akira in front. Poking his back, he got the attention of Akira causing him to turn around.
"Hey, you"re Sato-san, right?"
"Y-yes"
"Hmm, you hurt?"
This shocked Akira but decided to lie instead,
"N-no, I"ve just got a stomach-ache"
Tos.h.i.+ro decided not to press further but instead took the conversation to another direction. They were having a pleasant chat until Akira mustered up some courage and finally let it out
"You should escape Tos.h.i.+ro-san"
This caught Tos.h.i.+ro off-guard as he replied
"Why?"
It was Akira"s turn to be shocked.
"Doesn"t he know that he was on most of the cla.s.s" hit list."
Looking at the masked face of Tos.h.i.+ro, Akira sensed that Tos.h.i.+ro was genuinely confused.
"Wha…no…qui…"
His reply was cut short by a shout
"How dare you talk to Yuki-Sama!!!!!"
