Year 10 (Continued)
Within a few days, I became the leader of the Chuuni Gang of my Prefecture.
How did this happen? A nerdy guy like myself leading an army of weebs? Seems impossible, doesn't it?
It all began due to the Chuuni Crusade that I led a few weeks back. My senpai, Koharu-nee, who was older than me by a few years, was cornered by some shady guys and the Chuuni association happened to pitch in on the effort.
Thanks to my deduction skills and Koharu-nee sending me her location, we surrounded the place with the 243 Chuunis in attendance, armed with sticks, metal bats, and cosplay swords. Some had BB guns and Bows and arrows, which helped in taking down some of the tougher enemies. Using the knowledge I learned from combat and military strategy books, I turned the tide of battle and 243 kids managed to win a war with a gang.
After that, the confidence of the entire League was boosted, and we decided that we could be so much more than just a cult full of misfits in school. Utilizing the otakus present, we decided to 'hire' shut-ins and more internet people to join our community, bolstering our group even further.
Thanks to my accomplishments during the war, I was promoted and elected as the new leader of the League, which was vacant since the previous leader's graduation.
When I returned home after the semester ended, I found out that back in my hometown, my parents gave birth to a younger sister a year ago, and I spent the entire summer with her to make up for the time away. I was studying in another prefecture, since other city had better resources in general. I told my sister to read lots of books, as information and knowledge is a key part to making yourself strong in this world.
Her name is Seijo, the girl of stars.
A fitting name, don't you think?
I hope one day she can take over the things which I would come to unfortunately abandon due to my pursuits... but that'll have to wait until she gets stronger.
For now, I just have to focus on my studies and get stronger in both knowledge and strength.
***********************************************************************************************
Years 11~13
Through the next few years, I and the League continued to develop our community, extending it to the point where we hosted a district-wide online game competition, and even hosted many various cosplay festivals that involved prizes for the general public.
We were a force to be reckoned with, due to our assimilation of gangs in our area.
Our community is split into several factions, with the leaders directly reporting to me whenever anything happens. By this point, we're more of a localized community across the entire Tokyo, rather than some kind of merry band that used to talk about Chuunibyou stuff. Turning things into reality is always cool, whether if it was possible or not. Discrimination against cultures and weebs is heavily frowned upon here, so most people are in a safe environment. I left the administration process to one of my best friends, Yogami, while Mizuryu, my other buddy, took charge of the fighting team, since he was quite tough.
Was I bullied in school? I definitely was. For being too smart. Why is that a crime? It isn't. Harsh as it is, society frown upon most nerds, thinking that they show off when they're just trying to tell someone a wonderful piece of information that they probably recently learned. I barely speak to anyone in the class besides Mizuryu, Yogami, and some other friends from the League, but the bullies, as they exist anywhere, will always find a way to comment unnecessarily on my thinking.
One particular 'bully' of sorts was a girl named Suzune Rohana, who is the descendent of some kind of great entrepreneur. It was out of sheer jealousy that she attacked me, due to the fact that not even her manipulation of scores could triumph my current GPA, which was unfortunately but also fortunately, at number 1. I couldn't really afford to lose either, since I made a bet with my mentor Harold, who said if I keep my first place in the grade he'll put in a request to let me do an internship at CERN, the largest particle accelerator facility in Europe.
Mizuryu handled the bullying, as you can see. Seriously, he's like Taiju from Dr. Stone, the man never even got a scratch on him once when he was beat by metal bars. In the trial that Chid-chan set for me before I entered, it was the last time that Suzune dared to bully me, since I was putting on an act to make sure she didn't get demolished like basically everyone who decided to mess with the community.
I'm also the head of the science faction in the community, specializing in research project help and homework in general, since no one else was really willing to take up that post. Mizuryu has tried to train me in some fighting, but that didn't quite work out. I got the hang of it eventually, but my body was too fragile in a sense. I tried hard for the three years, and eventually got some improvement. It was a nice thing.
The three years that declared my transition into middle school made life a lot easier, since I wasn't staying in an advanced class anymore and had a normal class with normal friends. I even got some people who were in the community in my class, which made the process a lot more reassuring.
***********************************************************************************************
Years 14-17
Huh. Funny thing is, there is a memory gap during my time from 14 years to 17 years old.
Maybe it's because going to another multiverse results in soul loss? Or is it because of the Witch Factors?
Chid-chan, you did say that people who can stand in the Witches' presence are Sage candidates, right? But what if the only reason I could keep my consciousness is because of the Deceit Witch Factor?
Anyways, back to the story. I do vaguely remember me going overseas to America again to do some kind of research regarding Astrochemistry with Harold and another woman... and also some studies regarding the Higgs Field. But aside from that...
I really don't remember.
I'll probably realize it one day. Because I feel it's locked away for a very, very important reason.
***********************************************************************************************
Year 18
Ah, yes. I was transported here around a month after my 18th birthday. I think I went back home that year to celebrate with my family.
Seijo has really grown. She kinda reminds me of my old self. Just as smart, but somewhat terrifying to an extent. She says she took my words to heart, but I can't exactly remember what I said to her. I think part of that is in the 14-17 year gap, but I do remember that the last time I saw her before that I told her to study hard.
A 8-year old who's a genius is scary.
Anyways, I got back to my new home that I bought with the money I earned from work in America, since Harold paid for all my necessities during my stay. Yeah, he's a real nice guy.
And two weeks after that I got transported here.
That's basically the full story.
Did you en.. it, perhaps? Chid-chan, are....-eep? He...llo?
***********************************************************************************************
Meanwhile in another multiverse...
3rd Person POV
Yogami is distressed. Being the head of administration of the community-gang group known as the Stellarplume is not easy, and it's even harder when the group has fallen into chaos. His friend and the group's leader, Y/N L/N, has disappeared without a trace since two days ago.
Sure, Y/N sometimes wanders off into his lab and just doesn't come out for several days working on experiments, but he still answers their calls every time they need help. So they knew something was wrong when he didn't pick up. Especially when the phone said that the number they dialled does not exist.
Mizuryu, Yogami himself, and a few other trusted members of the community immediately rushed over to Y/N's new house, only to find the place deserted. There have been no signs of a kidnapping or anything out of the ordinary, and they were left with no leads.
They informed Y/N's mentor, Harold, who also sent out a search party for him. Although with his help in America and the local police's investigation, the result came up as null. It's as if Y/N just disappeared from this world. If he didn't, then he willingly went somewhere so far beyond their reach, which was impossible.
They checked the camera that Y/N had in his lab, but a portion of it, detailing the time of his disappearance, was apparently deleted. The security cameras around his house also came up null until the next day after he disappeared, which was also concerning. They did not even spot anyone on other cameras with the help of the police.
The morale of the group took a heavy blow, since it was mostly due to Y/N's efforts that they managed to thrive like this. There were many debates for the next leader, and Yogami was a primary choice for the position in the time being. However, Yogami just didn't feel like he could replace Y/N. It's practically impossible.
The dilemma was solved, however, when a little girl strode into their headquarters.
Yogami was at the front desk that day, and he was talking to one of their event organization on how to proceed. The archery competition held once a year was something everyone in the gang looked forward too, since there are many good archers in the community.
When Yogami spotted the girl, he did what every person would've done when they see a little girl stride into a gang's headquarters.
"Um, ojou-san, are you perhaps lost? This is quite the dangerous place. I could escort you out if you like-"
"If this place was full of chickens like you, why would it be dangerous?"
"Heh?" Yogami was taken aback by her harsh response, and so were the members near them. One of the nearby fighters came over and bent down to come face to face with the girl, who wore her poker face like a yaksha's battle mask.
"Ok, loli, I don't think who you're messing with here. This is not the place where you would want to offend someone-" The guy was cut off as the little girl delivered a fast uppercut to his family jewels, sending him flying instantly.
"I told you, chickens like you." The little girl said to Yogami once again, proving her point.
"I...see. Anyways, what is your business here? Just please don't beat anyone up."
"I was not planning to. Honestly, onii-sama did a lousy job at managing this place." The girl muttered before she took out a form and handed it to Yogami, who read its short yet shocking contents.
Hello members of the Stellarplume,
This is an emergency transfer slip of leadership within the community if anything misfortunate were to happen to me. I don't know why I would be, but just a safety precaution. Anyways, I will allow my younger sister, Seijo, to take over Stellarplume since she's a natural genius at many arts and sciences. Don't judge her by her age, however, or you will end up with a deadly wound.
Anyways, cheers if this ever comes in handy,
Y/N L/N
"You're Y/N's sister?? He has a sister???"
"Of course. Did he never mention me? Honestly, how disappointing. Anyways, as I've said before, I've come to claim my rightful throne."
(Also, unbeknownst to Yogami, Seijo is a master of forgery in every kind. Creating perfect counterfeits is part of her vast skillset.)
"Uh.. Seijo, was it? Leading this community is really not easy, so-"
"Calculus, finance, leadership, organization, karate, kenjutsu, ninjutsu, physics, chemistry, biology, statistics... and I can name many more. My skills will definitely not be anything short of my brother's, despite him being quite the figure in the news."
Sighing, Yogami declared the decision of the transfer of leadership next day in the community assembly. Understandably, the leaders of the factions and many members were outraged, but Seijo proved to them in a week that she is truly capable of leading the gang.
"Fufu... goal complete." Seijo laughed as she sat in her seat that had the 'leader' label on it, spinning it around to face the window. In her hand she held a USB, which held the missing security camera footage that detailed Y/N's disappearance.
"Ah... onii-sama, where did you go?"
"But don't worry, nii-sama. By the time you return, this world will be an empire ready to welcome its rightful king. I will make sure of it."
