[ Yuki wakes up and sees the time. ]
Yuki: Oh no, I overslept!
Krishna: Don’t blame me, you never told me to wake you up.
[ Yuki rushes out of bed and goes to brush his teeth. ]
( Half an hour later. )
[ Yuki is eating his breakfast. ]
Yuki: Dad, can you drop me off at school?
Yuvan: Well, not possible. Drive to school on your cycle.
Yuki: Dad, that’s 6 kilometres! You can’t be serious.
Yuvan: This would help you avoid oversleeping.
Yuki: (sighs) Whatever. But it makes sense. Oh my god, I wasted my time. Bye, Mom.
[ Yuki rushed to his bicycle and drove it to school. ]
Yuki: (Whispers) Finally…
[ May is standing behind the smart board, and Yuki is running towards the class and enters the class and sees May standing in front. ]
Yuki: If I am fast enough, she won’t get in my way.
[ Yuki rushes toward his usual place, sprinting full speed. He nearly collides with May—just a few steps away—but runs past her at the last second. May turns as if to walk away... but freezes in shock. ]
Yuki: That was close. Thanks for your help, Krishna.
Krishna: I didn’t do anything. This is pure luck, Yuki.
May: (Muttering) That was close.
[ He looked at her and said. ]
Yuki: Sorry.
[ May nods, and Yuki goes to his seat and finds Adam sitting in front of him. Yuki sat at his desk, and adam turns towards him. ]
Adam: You’re awfully calm after what just happened… the one I know would be freaking out, right now.
[ Adam’s words caught Mika’s attention. ]
Yuki: Maybe, because last time it happened was 3 years ago. I got better at hiding. I’m dying here, idiot.
Adam: That’s right, though.
Mika: That’s right, Yuki’s behaviour has changed according to what they said about him. I can’t decide just by that. But this is an important thing to keep in mind.
[ In the morning break, Adam looks around, confirming no one is around. Turns To Yuki. ]
Adam: I was thinking about something last night.
Yuki: So what are you plotting?
Adam: Lame as ever, but I know how to make this interesting. (smirks) I've got something on my mind.
Yuki: What am I supposed to do with it?
Adam: Yeah, yeah, say that after you hear what I’m gonna say.
Yuki: Something is not right.
[ He looks around to see what others are doing, just to make sure that no one is around them. ]
Yuki: Okay, what is it?
Adam: (smirks) I think she likes you.
Yuki: (Confused) What?
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Adam: I mean, Mika might like you.
Yuki: WHAT!! No, he’s just playing, WHAT IF NOT? Krishna, what is he saying?
Krishna: Find it yourself, dude.
Yuki: No answer as expected. Anyway, Yuki, calm yourself. What makes you think like that?
Adam: See, she wants to team up with you, even though she knows nothing about you.
[ Adam can see frustration in Yuki’s face, and his voice turns creepy. ]
Yuki: Are you sure about it?
Adam: Okay, fine, I was messing with you, you’re so lame. And the only thing you would react to is this. Don’t take it seriously.
Yuki: If you repeat this, I’ll kill you.
Adam: Fine, I won’t do it. And I shouldn’t overthink, sorry.
[ Yuki composes himself after he ensured he won’t do it. ]
Yuki: Okay, what do you wanna say?
Adam: Not again, the same face. Okay, imagine our world same as anime.
Yuki: Why?
Adam: Just do, broooo.
Yuki: Okay, then…
Adam: I just got a thought, what if
[ He said, controlling his laughter. ]
Adam: Your story turns out to be a love story.
Yuki: I’m sure gonna kill you.
[ Adam let out a laugh. ]
Adam: But I soon realised that with your shyness, it won’t work out.
Yuki: Yeah, but I don’t understand what it's supposed to do with imagining our world as in anime.
Adam: Wait, bro. Listen, if this is not a romance anime…
[ Yuki realised where he was getting at and said. ]
Yuki:. It would mostly be a fantasy anime.
Adam: Exactly, imagine you got hit by a truck and reincarnated in another world. Or what if monsters came into our world? We would have to fight them. I’m getting excited just by the thought.
Yuki: Sounds nice, but that also means one thing.
Adam: What is it?
Yuki: In other words, Something is not right about this world.
Adam: (Sighs) But at the end of the day, there are a lot of genres.
Yuki: Yeahhhh, we can’t be so sure.
Adam: Finally, he reacted to other things.
Yuki: Do you have a coin? Or something like that?
Adam: Yeah, here you go.
[ Adam gives it to Yuki ]
Yuki: What do you say, Krishna?
[Scene switches to Krishna, a screen pops up showing yes or no ]
Krishna: Telling you would be interesting.
[ Krishna pressed yes on the screen in front of him.The coin lands on the table, showing tails. ]
Yuki: I see, tail means yes.
Adam: Why did you do this?
Yuki: Personal reasons.
[ During Lunch break, Mika goes to the staff room. No one is there except Hamesh. ]
Mika: Hi, sir
Hamesh: Activate TFZ. Nobody can hear us. I’ve heard what happened yesterday. What do you want to say?
Mika: Yeah, so you know, upper-level demons can control their negative chakra.
Hamesh: Yeah, I know. We have to doubt everyone. What about it?
Mika: I just got a thought, Yuki might be…
Hamesh: (sighs) You already checked him. Didn’t you? Also, I know him very well.
Mika: He’s only a level 1 protector. What if they’re disguising themselves as protectors? Or even worse, what if it’s an illusion?
Hamesh: Do you think these are possible?
Mika: We never guessed they could control negative chakra, do we?
Hamesh: That’s right, though, but being a protector.
[ He realised something, his eyes widened in shock. ]
Hamesh: Noway… it can’t be
Mika: Why did you stop, sir?
Hamesh: You could be right. He’s acting strangely for the last 1? years.
Mika: This is a good point.
Hamesh: Okay, why do you think he is a demon?
Mika: It’s just a gut feeling. That’s all.
Hamesh: Okay, then I’ll leave this to you, and keep me updated. Do you have any plans?
Mika: Yeah, this is just a guess. Even if they can pretend to be a level 1 protector, they won’t be able to level up.
Hamesh: That’s a good idea. Deactivate TFZ
