Nen, the supernatural ability that allows a person to use the vital force also known as aura, to increase a person's physical abilities, giving an increase in strength, endurance and vitality. It also grants the ability to develop called Hatsu, Nen ability divided into different categories and with very different effects that depend on the personality, creativity and limits of the user.
"Well, it was finally time for you to make it."
Ging spoke, praising me lightly for finally having learned to open my aura nodes, it was a slow and tedious process, which required almost 2 months of pure meditation.
Ging had been impatient all that time, but he hadn't left my side even though he had dozens of opportunities to do so. The fact that I had to attend school impatient Ging even more than he was at the beginning, because my training Nen took even more time than expected.
"So how do you feel?" He asked sounding a little curious.
"It's strange." It took me a few seconds to feel better the sensation of the Nen in my body, it was strange, the world around me looked and felt different, I could feel that my body was much stronger than it was before, the energy called Nen traveled my body in its entirety, covering it in a warm and protective way. "It's ... as if something warm covered my body, but it feels good."
Gin gives an affirmative buzz. "Yes, normally that is the feeling it gives the first time, but you will get used to it, now try to enter Zetsu by closing all your aura nodes."
I nodded and concentrated on feeling my aura nodes again, it took a few minutes longer than expected due to the feeling I feel in my body since it is the first time I try to close them after having successfully opened them, little by little, I feel as my aura nodes throughout my body are closing, slowly but surely, it takes me a few minutes to do it completely, but finally I succeed.
I see how the steam coming out of my body gradually disappeared until finally my body looks normal again, as if a moment ago it was not a boiling kettle.
This is a truly fascinating experience.
"You know, if you hadn't attended school during these 2 months then surely you would have managed to learn the Nen in 2 or 3 weeks." The black-haired man complains as he releases a sigh of annoyance.
"I can't miss school, if I do, teachers will start calling my parents to find out why I don't attend classes."
Gin simply shrugs and turns to leave the room.
"Well, now that you've finally learned to use the Nen I have nothing else to do here." With a relaxed posture, Gin starts out the door.
"Wait! You still have to teach me how to use the Nen correctly! And you also have to help me figure out my type of Hatsu!" I tried to stop him, but he simply waved his hand casually.
"Our deal was that I would simply help you open your aura nodes and teach you everything I know about the Nen." I tried to open my mouth to complain about the lack of the last thing he mentioned, but Ging raised his hand to shut me up. "I have already explained everything I know about Ten, Zetsu, Ren and Hatsu. I have taught you all the advanced techniques of the Nen and how to use them, I also taught you the method to find out what type of Nen you have. You even wrote it all down in one notebook, I've already done my part of the deal. "
I wanted to replicate what he said, but I knew it was true, during these 2 months Ging told me everything he knew about the Nen, even I wrote down everything he told me in a notebook so as not to forget it.
"I did our part of the deal, it's time for you to do the same."
I bow my head in resignation, Ging is right, I can't force him to stay just because I don't know how to use the basic and advanced principles of the Nen.
"Don't put that face on, I'm sure you'll dominate the Nen in a short time if you keep training." Ging seems to notice my mood and tries to cheer me up a little, although he seems a little insecure with his words. "Anyway I will not leave immediately, I still have to buy a plane ticket to travel to Egypt, so I will probably leave the day after tomorrow."
Oh, right, I had forgotten.
"Wait, I thought you would travel to the Bermuda Triangle."
"No, I said that I would travel to the Bermuda Triangle after visiting the catacombs of France, being honest I am impatient to leave immediately." Gin admitted casually.
Well, it's understandable, Ging's personality drives him to constantly move around the world to discover new places and ruins. It is because of that curiosity that I am surprised that he has not left here in his 2 months of stay in a new world ready to be explored.
Although I am more surprised at the amount of money he got selling jewels and gems than he from past expeditions. Who would have imagined that Ging would have a gold mine with him?
"I'll sort the plane ticket right now and get ready to go, you can continue training if you want." With those words Ging said goodbye and went to the room to make the call.
I look in the direction Ging was before and sighed heavily.
I'm not going to lie, I'm going to miss that guy a little, the house will be a little quieter without him around.
Oh well, I can still visit Hayate.
Even so, I'm curious to know what my type of aura is, it would be great if I was a Specialist, but I don't need to take the test to know that this is not possible. Maybe a Conjurer or Transmutator? My personality would agree more with those two.
I am sure that I can wait to do the test until tomorrow, for now I will practice a little more with my Nen.
At first I thought that Ging only went out to get some food or went for a run like he does sometimes, but after inspecting his room and not finding any of his belongings, I assumed that he had finally gone to explore the world .
The bastard left days ahead of schedule and didn't even say goodbye.
I'm a little frustrated by this, but it doesn't matter, he was going to leave anyway, and I already got what I wanted.
I'm definitely not sad about his departure and I'm definitely not going to miss him ... I'm serious.
The sound of the doorbell resonates in the house, announcing the visit of a person, well there are not many people who visit in the morning except for her.
I walk lazily and calmly towards the entrance of the house, my bare feet feel the cold wooden floor and I mentally scold me for not putting on some shoes, I just hope not to get sick ... wait, can I get sick if I have Nen? I should have asked Ging.
When I finally reach the door I take the knob and open it. Immediately my sight is drawn to the little girl smiling in a wheelchair in front of me.
"Good morning Hayate." I greet quite casually.
"Good morning Yuudai." Hayate greets me back smiling brightly.
Yes, I made friends with Hayate, being honest was not something I planned to do. My original plan when I met her was to stay as distant as possible from her and the whole plot that surrounds her.
But it is very difficult to ignore a girl in a wheelchair who needs help, it is even harder to tell that girl that I do not want to be her friend when she asks me with such a hopeful look.
Looking on the bright side, she is not as loud as the other children I have met and I still have a chance of avoiding the main plot. After all, interacting with one of the protagonists does not mean that I will be involved in history ... probably.
I step aside to allow Hayate to pass, she does and when she is finally inside, I position herself behind her and start gently pushing the wheelchair to help her get to the kitchen, Hayate doesn't protest and simply moves her hands to his lap. I remember that the first few times she told me that there was no need for me to do this, but I would not feel good about myself if I did not help her in this, I also imagine that she gets tired of moving the chair with her hands all the time.
"You know, you don't have to bother doing this every day." I start talking.
"If I don't do it, you'll just buy fast food every day, that's not good for your health." Hayate reproaches, I open my mouth to tell her that I can prepare my own food myself but she raises one of her hands indicating that I shut up. "And don't try to say that you can prepare your own food, you barely know how to cook."
"... It's not that bad."
"You use too much oil, you light the fire too high, you use too much salt and you cut off your hand the last time you tried to cut the tofu." While saying that she raises her fingers listing each of the defects in my kitchen.
Well, I'm not good at cooking, what did you expect? I also have enough money to buy fast food and I exercise every day, I don't see the problem in that.
Of course I don't say it out loud, the last time I did it, Hayate gave me a conference of several minutes on how I should take better care of my health and that I should eat more nutritious food. It was a little funny, since I reminded myself of my mother when she scolded me for the same reason.
After that Hayate tried to convince me to let her cook all my meals, that was a bit strange, but I supposed she just wanted to spend more time with me since I'm her only friend. Even so, I didn't want to spend too much time with her because I could change the plot a lot, so I refused.
Naturally she didn't listen to me.
God, what happened to the shy and respectful Hayate I met?
I guess my personality and spending so much time with Ging changed her a little.
"So, what will we prepare for breakfast?" Ask once we get to the kitchen.
Hayate moved easily to the refrigerator, when I realized that I couldn't get rid of her without hurting her feelings, and feeling like shit, I dedicated myself to increasing the space in my house moving furniture and objects of such so that they occupy the least possible space so that Hayate could walk around my house without discomfort.
If it weren't because I have to keep my home clean for her, then the living room, the kitchen and the rooms would be a mess of trash and objects thrown on the floor, I'm pretty sure there would also be a rat's nest.
I'm lazy to clean up after all.
"Some rice and miso soup." Hayate hums happily while looking in my fridge. "You still have some rice left in the refrigerator, so you just need to make the soup."
I approach her to help her take the ingredients, I will be honest, despite being Japanese I have very little knowledge about traditional foods. But who can blame me, I lived almost 20 years in America during my past life, I'm used to fried chicken, pizza, hamburgers, tacos, and anything I can get in a restaurant or fast food stall.
Not to mention that Japanese food is rare, at least for people living in other parts of the world, but the same applies to Japan.
"Here, start cutting the tofu into small pieces." Hayate passes me a bowl of tofu while giving me instructions. "Remember, small pieces and keep your fingers away from the edge of the knife, I don't want you to cut yourself like last time."
"Oh come on, it only happened once." Is it necessary for her to remind me every time we cook?
"By the way, where is Ging?" Hayate asks curiously as she moves around the kitchen arranging all the ingredients of the soup on a table.
"Oh well ... he left this morning." I said, a little unsure of how to address the issue more than with the truth.
Hayate stops what he is doing and turns to see me with a surprised look. "He went?"
Oh man
"Yes, last night he told me he would leave the day after tomorrow, but when I went to check his room this morning I didn't find any of his belongings ... so I think Ging left."
Hayate stares at me in silence for a few uncomfortable and long seconds before releasing a tired sigh.
"God, he didn't even wait for me to say goodbye to him, to be someone who doesn't like to socialize, I'm sure he was eager to go exploring the world." Hayate complains softly before cooking again.
She seems to take it well, but I've spent enough time with Hayate to know she's really sad because Ging's bastard didn't say goodbye to her. She is too good at hiding it, but that doesn't help much against someone who is also good at hiding his emotions. Since Hayate cannot go to school or go out on the street too much, her circle of acquaintances is reduced to her neighbors and doctors. And her circle of friends used to be 0 before I arrived, Ging helped increase that number to 2, and the bastard despite being someone a little distant at the beginning I'm sure he got a little fond of Hayate at the end.
Every time Hayate came, Ging used to tell him stories about his adventures in his original world, even though he talked about things that for someone in this world should not make sense and that anyone would think are false, Hayate always listened carefully to each one of his stories and to some extent I think she really thought Ging's stories were real. Maybe it's due to his innocence, Ging's honesty, or the fact that Hayate is very mature for his age and has learned to read people.
That is why it is impossible for her not to be sad after learning that a friend has left without saying goodbye.
Stupid Ging, you just make my life harder.
"You know, he said he would bring us both a memory when he came back." I begin to speak with the intention of raising her mood. "He also said he will tell us many stories about the adventures he will live during his travels, although knowing him, Ging probably exaggerated his stories as usual."
My words seem to do the trick since Hayate leaves what she is doing to pay attention to me.
"I don't know, I don't think he lied when he told us stories." She defends Ging without a hint of hesitation.
"Oh please, do you really want me to believe that he fought a dragon?"
"He said it was a giant snake with crocodile claws, not a dragon." Hayate doesn't waste time correcting me.
It seems that she really believes in Ging's stories.
"Yes, and that is as credible as a secret organization of superhumans who dedicate their lives to hunting random things."
"... Maybe Ging is a superhero?"
"Ging? A superhero? He wouldn't be able to put on a cape and go out in broad daylight to save people, I mean, you saw how he tried to avoid the crowds when we went to the mall."
Hayate laughs softly as he remembers that moment. "Yes, he didn't take off from us throughout the trip."
"What a cowardly adult, he claims to be someone capable of facing magical beasts, but he is not able to spend more than 1 hour surrounded by people, what a shame." I speak disappointed as I move my head from side to side.
"And even he was shaken a little when some people started paying attention to him." Hayate speaks, remembered that moment with fun.
Well, who would say it, making fun of Ging's bastard lifted Hayate's mood even a little. We both continue to laugh at Gin's cowardice and shyness for several minutes, by the time we realized it was time for me to go to school.
In the end I ended up buying some chips at a nearby store.
Just another normal day in my life.
Oh, and if any of you are willing to be my beta reader send PM.

--------------------------------------------------------
"That was fast." I couldn't help expressing my thoughts out loud when the next morning I went to visit Ging to his room, only to discover that he had already left.
At first I thought that Ging only went out to get some food or went for a run like he does sometimes, but after inspecting his room and not finding any of his belongings, I assumed that he had finally gone to explore the world .

___________________________________________________________________
Attending a school sucks, attending a school twice in two lives sucks even more, and attending a Japanese school is a nightmare. I have never been good at studying, mainly because I am easily distracted, so when I found out that I would attend a school, a Japanese school, I was quite disappointed. In case learning to read and write Japanese was not enough, now I have to learn their culture, history and attend their tight class schedules.
During this last month I have been practicing with my Nen, which has helped me a little to free myself from stress, but even so it is not enough. Gin has not contacted me since he left, but I'm not surprised and Hayate seems to have been a little more happy. Unfortunately the school has not pity me and has thrown everything I can to make my life more annoying, from things as common as history classes, to bullying in the corridors.
So it was a great relief for me to hear the bell announcing the end of classes, while the teacher said goodbye and the students around me kept their books and came together to talk, I thought about what I should do now. Normally I would go straight home and practice with my Nen as usual, but today I had my usual laziness, so I did not have the energy to train. Maybe I could go to the port near the sea? It's been a while since I went there.
The laughter of girls a few seats away caught my attention, I turned my eyes slightly to them and saw them laughing as they looked in my direction, when they realized I was watching them they laughed a little more and greeted me. A normal viewer would see nothing wrong with this scene, and they would probably think that these girls found me cute or were playing with me.
But students in this room knew the real reason, after all being antisocial tends to attract rumors and ridicule from people around, this applies even more when these people are teenagers who seek to feel superior to others or who simply decide to disturb people who do not fit in their group of friends.
Although being honest I am already used to it, 6 years of ridicule in my past life have made me resistant to the verbal abuse of people, not to mention that Japanese preteens are not so creative in their insults, or at least I have not met any that it is
Unfortunately I am the victim of all the 5th grade students and a little of the 6th grade students, being honest the rumors they have created and the constant teasing does not affect me at all, they are quite light compared to the ones I received in my past life
Even so, I'm a little worried that they decide to take a more violent approach, I know by some acquaintances that high school students physically abuse shy or "weird" people, and as the antisocial person that I am I worry about getting stalkers when enter high school.
There is always the option of beating them to leave me alone, but I do not like violence or the idea of hitting children, even if these children are bastards who do not know what is right and wrong.
When finally most of the people in the room leave, I get up from my seat and take my backpack to leave the room, the school halls are mostly empty, with a few students and teachers running through them, the bright light of the sun enters through the windows providing perfect lighting. The corridors of the school resonate with the conversations of the few people who have stayed to continue working or simply making time to avoid separating from their friends.
When I arrive at the school exit, I can not help but glance at the luxurious limousine parked outside, as usual the driver is waiting outside for the student who owns the limousine.
I've always wondered why the parents of a child with so much money send him to a school like this instead of a private school, or better yet, why the hell do they feel the need to send a limousine to pick up that child? Do they not know how dangerous it can be? What would happen if some criminal realized it and decided to attack the limousine and kidnap the child? Although if the child's parents are rich enough to buy a limousine, I would not be surprised if they also had bodyguards to protect the child and the limousine.
Well, if that happens, it will not be my problem.
I pass the limousine and continue my way to the port, the streets of the city are full of people doing their daily things, it is not so busy as to have difficulties to walk, but even so it bothers me to be surrounded by so many people.
The sounds of the cars next to the talks of the people around me fill the streets of the city, turning it into an incompressible mess of almost impossible to identify sounds, adults talking on telephones, dealers announcing their products and drivers touching car horns to Encourage others to move faster. Occasionally a random person comes to offer me a product, but I ignore it and keep walking.
People in large groups wait for the change of traffic light while pushing slightly to get more space, as if they all only had one chance to cross the street in their entire lives.
After a few minutes of walking I can finally see the port and the sea in the distance, I decide to hurry a bit my step to get faster.
When I finally arrive, I walk towards the fishing port and I just stand there looking at the sea, I can feel the wind hit my body and move my hair and clothes lightly. I close my eyes and take a moment to enjoy this feeling.
As I said I have never been good at studying, so to relieve stress I usually take a walk around the city, mainly in the ports near the sea, I had never seen one in my past life so when I found out that this city had one I decided Go and see it. Every time I needed a break I went there and watched the vast ocean trying to clear my mind.
For some reason I started thinking about the moment I was reborn in this world, it was very sudden and confusing, I do not even remember how it ended up here. Did I die in my past life? Was I simply thrown here by an unknown entity for their amusement?
I am very willing to believe in the last option, after all with my "rebirth", also came a kind of knowledge, knowledge and skills, I am still able to remember them perfectly even though 11 years have passed. Although I did not have much time to think about it in my first years of life, at that time I was busier being a baby and trying to make sense of what was happening.
It was not until a few months ago that I finally decided to use one of my skills to travel to another world, more precisely to the world of Hunter X Hunter. I was lucky I had not landed in a dangerous place and that Gin was nearby, if I had appeared in a jungle, in a meteor city or god forbid the fucking dark continent, then I would very likely have died.
Even so, it was exciting to see and interact with another world, happiness, disbelief and anxiety are a strange mixture of emotions that simply pushed me to continue investigating that world even if I knew it was dangerous for me.
My boring everyday life suddenly became more exciting.
It would be very easy for me to simply leave this world, escape from school and my boring life and start an adventure somewhere else, it is the dream of every child after all.
The problem is that I am not a child, I am an adult in the body of a child, I know that if I decide to escape to another world the chances of survival are low. Of course I can get supplies to avoid hunger, cold or illness, but who says that the world I visit will not be an apocalyptic, or god forbid the fucking DC Universe.
No thanks, I prefer my boring life before I get involved with that shit. In addition, multidimensional adventures are overrated. Maybe if they had given me this ability in my first life when I was still a hot-headed teenager I would do it without hesitation, but now I am an adult and I am aware of the risks that would lead.
I will simply pretend that I do not have the ability to travel to other worlds and learn an infinity of powers. Traveling to the world of HxH and learning Nen were an exception to the rule, a simple impulse of idiocy and curiosity that led me to travel to another world and learn Nen, but it will not happen again.
Even so, the idea of getting power and meeting previously fictional characters sounds appealing, but it's not worth the risk, and even if I decided to do it I can not worry my parents with my absence, we do not interact much because of the problems that they have, but I know they love me and care about me. Not to mention that Hayate will be sad if I suddenly disappear, and I can not leave the bastard Gin wandering freely around the world either.
So then I will simply continue with my boring and repetitive life, just as I like it.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Is that a scream?
I turned my gaze to the direction of the scream and-
"Hugh!"
"Kyaa!"
Something clashes strongly with my stomach, pulling the air out of my lungs and knocking me to the ground.
"Oh god, I'm sorry! Are you okay ?!" A childlike and feminine voice speaks to me, I take a moment to recover my breath before looking up at the person speaking to me.
Lying on the floor in front of me is a girl dressed in a white uniform, because of her appearance she seems to be 1 or 2 years younger than me, her copper hair is tied in two little pigtails on each side of her head and her violet eyes look at me Worried as tears came out of his eyes.
Oh, she is crying.
"Sorry! Do not look where I was going and end up crashing with you! "She apologizes hastily and the expression of regret in her watery eyes shows that she really regrets it.
I do not answer immediately and instead I keep looking at this girl, I have the feeling of having seen her somewhere before, but I can not remember. Have I seen it at school? She wears the same uniform as me, but for women, even so, that does not explain why I want to get away from her as soon as possible.
"Uh, are you okay?"
"Eh?"
"I did not hurt you, right?" She asks with concern in her voice.
"No, I'm fine, do not worry."
"I'm glad." She sounds relieved by my response as she uses the sleeves of her uniform to wipe the remaining tears from her eyes.
She will not be hurt, right? I decide to ask him, but I only receive a negative.
"So why are you crying?" If she's not hurt, there's no reason for her to cry.
"Oh, it's nothing important." She tries to dismiss my concerns, but her tone of voice makes it clear that she is sad and hurt by something, either from the blow she received when hitting me or for another reason.
I open my mouth to continue to question him, but I doubt for a few moments.
Do I need to do it? I do not have any kind of relationship with this girl and I do not want to get involved with her either, the fact that I feel that I know her from somewhere and that I feel that I should get away from her does not help at all.
What happens if getting involved with it only ruins even more the events that should happen in this world? I already became friends with Hayate and that will change the history of this world in one way or another even if I do not get involved with the other main characters.
No, calling them main characters is wrong, now they are real people just like me, or rather they were always real people, and I am the one who thought they were fictional.
Since I met Hayate she has acted like a real person, she has shown sadness, happiness and shame. She has cried and laughed in my company, she has been angry with me for being irresponsible or because I do something that annoys or worries her.
Gin is the same case, may not show as many expressions as any other person, but the fact that he has been excited to be in a new world and that he has been frustrated of not being able to explore it for so long show that he is a real person and not just a "character" whose actions and emotions are programmed.
It is partly for that reason that I try not to get involved with anyone else, if I were to interact with someone important I could end up accidentally changing their personality and actions in such a way that I would not be able to predict them.
And that's scary, not knowing what a person will do for the simple fact that I decided to talk to him. Hayate and Gin were the exception, with Hayate I just have to worry about interacting with her and her knights, there's nothing that forces me to relate to the other characters-err, people who will be her friends.
Gin is similar, bringing him into this world and interacting with him will not change much or nothing in his world, and even if he did, I'm not the one who would have to deal with the consequences of it.
The little girl in front of me slowly rises from the ground, seems to be fine physically, but her expression of sadness and pain just does not leave me comfortable.
"I'm sorry I tripped over you." With those final words, she turns around to leave, still carrying that expression of sadness.
Oh man, I'm sure I'll regret this.
"Hey, you still have not answered my question." I raise my voice enough to make it look like I'm angry, it seems to work since she turns to see me with an expression of bewilderment. "And do not you dare tell me "It's nothing important" because it clearly is. "
The girl is still somewhat confused but still recovers quickly.
"It's nothing important! Seriously! "She waves both arms in front of me nervously.
"What? So you just throw me on the floor and then you leave without giving me an explanation about why you did it? Did you do it on purpose to make fun of me? "I press aggressively.
"N-No, it's just that-" She tries to give an excuse, but I do not let her.
"Oh, if that's not it then you should have no problem telling me why you're crying, if you do I'll consider letting you go without further questions."
Yes, I'm acting like some kind of bully right now, but I just can not leave a little boy crying, that's the reason why I ended up making friends with Hayate after all.
Also, it's just a random girl that ends up bumping into me, we'll just talk a little bit about what happens to her and hopefully she'll be encouraged a bit. What's the worst that could happen?
Oh, and if any of you are willing to be my beta reader send PM.
___________________________________________________________________
Attending a school sucks, attending a school twice in two lives sucks even more, and attending a Japanese school is a nightmare. I have never been good at studying, mainly because I am easily distracted, so when I found out that I would attend a school, a Japanese school, I was quite disappointed. In case learning to read and write Japanese was not enough, now I have to learn their culture, history and attend their tight class schedules.
During this last month I have been practicing with my Nen, which has helped me a little to free myself from stress, but even so it is not enough. Gin has not contacted me since he left, but I'm not surprised and Hayate seems to have been a little more happy. Unfortunately the school has not pity me and has thrown everything I can to make my life more annoying, from things as common as history classes, to bullying in the corridors.
So it was a great relief for me to hear the bell announcing the end of classes, while the teacher said goodbye and the students around me kept their books and came together to talk, I thought about what I should do now. Normally I would go straight home and practice with my Nen as usual, but today I had my usual laziness, so I did not have the energy to train. Maybe I could go to the port near the sea? It's been a while since I went there.
The laughter of girls a few seats away caught my attention, I turned my eyes slightly to them and saw them laughing as they looked in my direction, when they realized I was watching them they laughed a little more and greeted me. A normal viewer would see nothing wrong with this scene, and they would probably think that these girls found me cute or were playing with me.
But students in this room knew the real reason, after all being antisocial tends to attract rumors and ridicule from people around, this applies even more when these people are teenagers who seek to feel superior to others or who simply decide to disturb people who do not fit in their group of friends.
Although being honest I am already used to it, 6 years of ridicule in my past life have made me resistant to the verbal abuse of people, not to mention that Japanese preteens are not so creative in their insults, or at least I have not met any that it is
Unfortunately I am the victim of all the 5th grade students and a little of the 6th grade students, being honest the rumors they have created and the constant teasing does not affect me at all, they are quite light compared to the ones I received in my past life

Interlude: An empty heart

My main language is not English, so this story will contain spelling errors, gender and out of time. Read it at your own risk.
Writing this chapter was incredibly fast, but at the same time complicated, I just hope I did it well.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Takamachi Nanoha was in an uncomfortable situation.
Originally she had decided to wander around the city to think about something important, it was pure coincidence that she ended up walking towards the port near the sea where she ended up venting unintentionally.
And also where, due to her imprudence, she ended up crashing with a boy from her school, a boy older than her who did not let the incident pass easily.
The boy she ran into wore the same uniform as Nanoha, but for boys, he had long, messy black hair with strands pointing in different directions, as if he had not combed his hair this morning.
However, what caught Nanoha's attention were the boy's eyes, those green eyes and totally bored. She did not know why, but the sight of those eyes did not make her comfortable.
She naturally apologized and tried to leave after checking the condition of the child with whom she crashed. Unfortunately he did not seem willing to let her go without an answer to his previous question.
Why are you crying?
And now here she was, sitting next to a senpai probably angry that demanded answers.
In a normal situation Nanoha would have no problem talking to a senpai about anything, she has always been someone sociable and kind to anyone who was willing to relate to her.
But at this moment her mood was not the best, and she was afraid it would only cause her senpai problems with something that could end up being insignificant.
"And good? You will speak or you will be silent. "His senpai spoke, apparently he had had enough of his silence.
Nanoha moved her fingers nervously. "It's just that I do not feel comfortable talking about this."
The boy beside him let out a buzz of understanding.
"I understand, you do not want to talk about what happens to a complete stranger."
That was not what she was referring to.
"So look at it this way, this is probably the only time we talk, even if we go to the same school, we are both in different grades and we have no reason to interact anymore once we finish talking here." The dark haired boy tried to persuade her hoping that she was more willing to talk. "Think of me as a kind of confidant that you will only see once, and that I will forget about this meeting tomorrow. It should be easy for you because I have not even told you my name. "
"Oh it's true!" Nanoha exclaimed in surprise. "I have not even introduced myself, I'm-"
"No!" The boy interrupted her sharply, lifting one of his hands. "If you tell me your name I'm sure that telling me what happens to you will only be more complicated, I will not tell you my name and in return you will not tell me yours, that way none of us will be familiar with the other once we finish here. "
Nanoha was confused by that request. Why did her senpai not want to know her name or say her own?
"W-but, is not it rude to refer to you alone as senpai?"
"Being honest, I do not care." He shrugged without seeing the bad. "You can call me whatever you want as long as it's not something rude."
She was not entirely sure of that, but I end up accepting.
"Then why were you crying?"
Nanoha did not know how to answer that question, she knew why she had cried, she simply was not able to understand the reason why she did it and she did not know how to express it with words either.
After all, how can you explain a pain that you do not know because you feel and are not able to understand? It's not something she can easily describe.
"I ... I do not know." Nanoha decided to be frank.
"Do not you know?" He asked confused.
"No."
Both were silent after that statement, Nanoha did not know how to continue and was almost sure that her senpai was still confused by his response.
She just hoped he would not get mad at her for that.
"Well, let me rephrase the question, did you cry because you felt pain for something?"
Nanoha nodded.
"Did someone hurt you?"
She shook her head.
"Mmm." The black haired boy remained thoughtful for a moment before speaking again. "Do you feel lonely?"
"...Yes."
"But you do not know why."
"No."
"Have you had problems lately?"
No, she has not had problems, she has never had problems, she has a normal and happy life, with a family that loves her and good friends.
But still.
Even so, she feels this pain.
"I feel like I do not belong anywhere." Nanoha spoke loudly without realizing it.
"How is that?" The dark haired boy asked clearly sound confused and curious.
"I do not know how to explain it, but I do not feel really happy." Nanoha continued a bit unsure. "I have no problems in my life, my family treats me well, I have good friends and school is not boring with them."
Nanoha started to tighten her chest.
"But I feel that that is not enough, that there is something missing in my life, and it hurts." Her voice started to break and she felt that incomprehensible pain in her chest again, the tears began to accumulate in her eyes and slowly dropped for his face. "I feel lonely, and it hurts, it hurts a lot."
She could not take it anymore and cried, soft moans of pain left her lips as she clutched her chest tightly and let out a strangled cry.
Nanoha did not care that there was someone with her, she did not care that she was embarrassing herself in front of he superior, all she wanted was to vent this pain.
"You have to be fucking kidding." The voice full of disbelief of his senpai drew his attention, she raised her gaze even tearful and saw the look of amazement and frustration on the face of the child. "Are you having an existential crisis? Really?" He asked, sounding increasingly annoyed.
"An existential crisis?" Nanoha asked still crying, her words barely understood between her sobs. "What is that?"
"I knew I should not get involved in this shit, well it's too late to regret it." With a sigh of resignation, the black haired boy turned back to her. "Look, what you're experiencing is normal ... well, almost normal."
Normal? How could this feeling of normal loneliness be?
She wanted to ask that, but she did not have the chance since the dark haired boy started talking again.
"You have a normal life, you do not have any kind of problem, you live in a good home with a good family, your life in school is not bad, but still you feel that you lack something." He began to speak, his words came out naturally, as if he knew exactly what was happening to Nanoha. "You feel a sense of emptiness inside you, something that does not let you live quietly, but you do not give much importance to the beginning, believing that it's only temporary."
At this point Nanoha calm her crying enough to be able to hear more clearly the words of her senpai. Everything he said described his situation perfectly, it was as if he knew what she was feeling.
"But as time goes on that feeling of emptiness gets stronger." He continued, the tone of his voice began to take a melancholy and sad touch. "You start trying to discover what causes that, but no matter how much you think about it or how much you look for it, you can not discover the reason behind that feeling of emptiness and that starts to hurt you."
"Every day, at all times, the pain that you lack something in your life, something important, does not let you live in peace, you try anything to forget that feeling, but nothing works, as the days go by, your strength goes away weakening, you feel that there is no point in continuing to live, that there is no sense in continuing with the same empty and boring routine. "
"Then one day you start to think: There is nothing important in my life, I bet if I die nothing would change."
Nanoha could not help but shudder at those words.
It is true that she felt the same way her senpai described, but she had never thought about that last part.
"You start to consider suicide, you start to see the bad of living, instead of focusing on the positive and what you can achieve, you start seeing the negative and the way you can fail." His sad and melancholy tone began to disappear and was replaced by a more calm and neutral one. "Every day, in every moment that you can simply join in your sadness and loneliness, you do not want to relate to anyone and you do not want anyone to help you, the idea of having no reason to continue living becomes stronger every time, after everything, is not going to achieve anything important in your life and once you die no one will remember you, why not just die at once and save yourself so much suffering? "
The dark haired boy remained silent and Nanoha was expectant before his next words.
"Then one day you just say, Fuck this, and you decide to just keep living even with that feeling of emptiness inside you." He voice started to take a fun touch. "You realize that it's no use thinking about those things, that, if you're going to die anyway and you will not be remembered, then at least you can live your life as you please before that happens.That feeling of pain and loneliness? That feeling that you lack something in life? You learn to live with her, you start to stop caring and vaguely think that maybe one day you will find that special thing that will make that horrible feeling disappear. "
Nanoha paid full attention to his words, what he said, the way he described it, was the same, but at the same time different from what she was experiencing.
"And that's an existential crisis, or at least my experience with one." The dark haired boy finished, shrugging his shoulders as if what he had just said was not a big deal."Although I'm surprised that someone as young as you are going through something like that, girls your age should be more concerned about school, the guy they like or what the hell they're going to dine with tonight, not having a fucking existential crisis. "He mumbled the last thing in a low voice, enough so that Nanoha would not hear.
After that, both remained silent, Nanoha was still thinking about everything this boy said to him, he said that what was happening to him was something normal. Does it mean that there are more people going through the same thing as her?
Is he going through the same thing?
What he described was his experience?
Does he consider suicide?
She decided to take a chance and ask, even if she was rude, she needed an answer.
"I got over that a long time ago." The black haired boy said casually. "Even if it takes a while to achieve it."
"... Did you find him?" She asked anxiously.
"Find what?"
"What was missing in your life, did you find it?" She asked with more force this time.
"No." He admitted. "I have not done it and may never do it, but it's okay, I like my life as it is now."
"What?" Nanoha exclaimed confused.
Was he okay with feeling like this? Did not he care to find what would make him happy in life?
"Why?" She asked, her voice too loud, almost like a scream.
It was clear that his senpai was surprised by this question, but he still answered calmly.
"I just realized that it was not worth trying to look for something that may not exist, so instead I decided to live my life in a quiet way, of course there are some unusual things that make me get excited from time to time, but I try to avoid them to avoid getting into trouble. "
"... And do you still feel that emptiness?"
He seemed hesitant to respond for a moment, but finally he did.
"Yes, but it's not as bad as it seems at the beginning, when you go through the phase you start getting used to that feeling of loneliness and boredom."
"It's wrong." she whispered softly.
"Sorry, I do not listen to you."
"I said you're wrong!" Nanoha screamed furiously.
The black haired boy turned away from her, obviously not expecting that kind of outburst on his part.
"How can you just live like that ?! Do not you feel pain ?! Do not you mind being happy ?! "She screamed furiously.
Nanoha was not able to understand, how could anyone live like this? With that emptiness in their lives, pretending to have a normal life and that nothing was wrong.
"Not well! What you do is not right! "Nanoha shouted, increasingly furious. "Do you really want me to believe that you are happy with your current life ?!" Unwittingly she began to vent her frustrations on him.
"Do you really want me to believe that you do not mind being happy ?!"
"..."
"Answer me!"
With a sigh of resignation, the black haired boy spoke again. "You're too agitated, calm down a bit."
Nanoha was about to reclaim one more time, but the boy's hand landing on her head with force stopped her.
"Look, maybe you do not understand it because you're too young, but cases like mine are very common, there are millions of people in the world who live their lives without any goal or joy in their lives." He began, his tone he voice detonated fatigue, as if talking about this topic bored him."And like them, there are other millions of people who have managed to find happiness and fill that void in their lives, I belong to the first group and I'm fine with that, besides I told you that for me it was not worth looking for something that maybe it does not exist, and if it does exist then there is also the possibility that this important thing comes to me. "
"But!-"
"No." He interrupted her firmly. "No matter what you say, nothing will change my decision, I am happy as I live daily and I will not bother looking for a way to fill the void that exists within me. It's my life and I decide to live it as I please, even if you do not agree with it. "He finished, his determined green eyes looking directly into Nanoha's violet eyes conveying the firmness of his decision.
Nanoha did not speak anymore, she did not know what else to say, she simply sat there, watching him fixedly while small tears of sadness and frustration came out of her eyes.
"My advice to you is that you do not grieve thinking about that. Live your life in the way you like the most. Try to find a hobby that will help you get distracted and have fun. And do not waste your time trying to find something that will sooner or later come to your life. "
"How do you know that will happen?" Nanoha asked between sobs.
"How do I know, eh?" He remained thoughtful for a moment, as if he was trying to express his words well. "It may be just me, but through this conversation I have the feeling that you will be someone important ... the fact that I want to get as far away as possible from you does not help." He mumbled the last thing in a low voice.
"What was that last?"
"Nothing, then do you feel better? Does this conversation help you? "He asked, sounding a little impatient.
Nanoha took a moment to think about her answer, she could not tell if she felt better, talking about what happened to her certainly helped her a little, but it did not make that horrible feeling disappear.
As for the conversation they had, she certainly has a lot to think about.
"Yes, I feel a little better, thank you senpai." She gave him a small smile in thanks. "And I'm sorry I bothered you."
"No problem, I had nothing better to do and leaving a little boy crying would not have left me alone. "He dismissed their concerns.
Nanoha wiped her tears with the sleeves of her clothes before speaking.
"But I still do not like the idea of you being alone or feeling pain." Nanoha once again touched the subject
"Not again." Before the boy could speak again Nanoha continued.
"That's why you and I are going to be friends." She spoke decisively.
The dark haired boy stared at him with a surprised look on his face, probably waiting for another attempt by Nanoha to convince him to change his way of life, but clearly he did not expect this.
"... I'm sorry, but I refuse."
"You have no choice, I already decided." Nanoha was not going to let him get rid of his decision.
"You have no right to decide that for me." He spoke sounding a little angry.
If there is something that characterizes Takamachi Nanoha is her stubbornness, once she decides to do something then she will not stop until she achieves it.
And now she is determined to become friends with her senpai.
"I already decided, you can not refuse."
"Fuck, girl, do not try to change the conversation." He growled, sounding really angry.
But she was not going to retract what she said.
Especially now that Nanoha had found someone like her. Not now that she knew how he felt. She would not abandon him and find a way to become his friend.
"You and I are alike, it's normal for people who share similarities in something to become friends, right?" She asked, slowly approaching her senpai.
"Yes, but-"
"Then there should be no problem in the two of us being friends, we have the same problems and we both understand each other a bit." She began to close the space between them.
"That does not entitle you-"
"And if you refuse to find happiness, then I will find a way to make you happy." Nanoha finished, at this point she had approached enough to her senpai so that their faces almost touched, she saw him directly to the eyes without looking away ready to transmit their determination.
"... Do not you think you're taking this a little too seriously?" His senpai's voice no longer sounded angry, instead it sounded more uncomfortable and somewhat frightened and he was slightly looking away.
That was good, that meant she had won.
"I'm taking it with the necessary seriousness."
"Too seriously, if you ask me."
Before Nanoha spoke again, her senpai said something that alarmed her.
"By the way, do not you have a place to go? Like your house, for example, I bet your parents are worried about your tardiness. "
It was an obvious attempt to get rid of her, anyone would see it.
But it also turned out to be true.
"I forgot it!" Nanoha shouted in alarm. "I was supposed to help my parents with the cafeteria!"
She quickly pulled away from her senpai, who breathed a sigh of relief now that she had discarded his attention.
But before leaving Nanoha had something else to say.
"By the way, now that we are friends we must exchange our names." She pointed it out as if it were an important fact.
"That was not part of the deal and I do not remember agreeing to be your friend either." The black-haired boy quickly claimed, but naturally Nanoha ignored him.
"My name is Takamachi Nanoha, nice to meet you." She bowed as she appeared ignorant of the face of surprise and fear that little by little was forming in her senpai. "I hope you take good care of my senpai and thank you for your help."
Nanoha turned around and started hurrying towards her home.
"See you at the senpai school! The next time we see each other you'll have to tell me your name! "She screamed as she ran without turning around.
Maybe the feeling of loneliness that Nanoha carries does not disappear in a short time, and it is possible that she will not do it in a long time, but she would try to follow the advice of her Senpai and focus on other things. Maybe she will find a hobby after the school?
Be that as it may, she has plenty of time to think and is confident that her new friend will be happy to help.
As Nanoha left with a smile on her face and a renewed mood, Sakai Yuudai watched her leave from her position on the floor with a look of pure terror.
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck."
And so, unwittingly, Sakai Yuudai ruined the history of this world in a definitive way.
Writing this chapter was incredibly fast, but at the same time complicated, I just hope I did it well.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Takamachi Nanoha was in an uncomfortable situation.
Originally she had decided to wander around the city to think about something important, it was pure coincidence that she ended up walking towards the port near the sea where she ended up venting unintentionally.
And also where, due to her imprudence, she ended up crashing with a boy from her school, a boy older than her who did not let the incident pass easily.
The boy she ran into wore the same uniform as Nanoha, but for boys, he had long, messy black hair with strands pointing in different directions, as if he had not combed his hair this morning.
However, what caught Nanoha's attention were the boy's eyes, those green eyes and totally bored. She did not know why, but the sight of those eyes did not make her comfortable.
She naturally apologized and tried to leave after checking the condition of the child with whom she crashed. Unfortunately he did not seem willing to let her go without an answer to his previous question.
Why are you crying?
And now here she was, sitting next to a senpai probably angry that demanded answers.
In a normal situation Nanoha would have no problem talking to a senpai about anything, she has always been someone sociable and kind to anyone who was willing to relate to her.
But at this moment her mood was not the best, and she was afraid it would only cause her senpai problems with something that could end up being insignificant.
"And good? You will speak or you will be silent. "His senpai spoke, apparently he had had enough of his silence.
Nanoha moved her fingers nervously. "It's just that I do not feel comfortable talking about this."
The boy beside him let out a buzz of understanding.
"I understand, you do not want to talk about what happens to a complete stranger."
That was not what she was referring to.
"So look at it this way, this is probably the only time we talk, even if we go to the same school, we are both in different grades and we have no reason to interact anymore once we finish talking here." The dark haired boy tried to persuade her hoping that she was more willing to talk. "Think of me as a kind of confidant that you will only see once, and that I will forget about this meeting tomorrow. It should be easy for you because I have not even told you my name. "
"Oh it's true!" Nanoha exclaimed in surprise. "I have not even introduced myself, I'm-"
"No!" The boy interrupted her sharply, lifting one of his hands. "If you tell me your name I'm sure that telling me what happens to you will only be more complicated, I will not tell you my name and in return you will not tell me yours, that way none of us will be familiar with the other once we finish here. "
Nanoha was confused by that request. Why did her senpai not want to know her name or say her own?
"W-but, is not it rude to refer to you alone as senpai?"
"Being honest, I do not care." He shrugged without seeing the bad. "You can call me whatever you want as long as it's not something rude."
She was not entirely sure of that, but I end up accepting.
"Then why were you crying?"
Nanoha did not know how to answer that question, she knew why she had cried, she simply was not able to understand the reason why she did it and she did not know how to express it with words either.
After all, how can you explain a pain that you do not know because you feel and are not able to understand? It's not something she can easily describe.
"I ... I do not know." Nanoha decided to be frank.
"Do not you know?" He asked confused.
"No."
Both were silent after that statement, Nanoha did not know how to continue and was almost sure that her senpai was still confused by his response.
She just hoped he would not get mad at her for that.
"Well, let me rephrase the question, did you cry because you felt pain for something?"
Nanoha nodded.
"Did someone hurt you?"
She shook her head.
"Mmm." The black haired boy remained thoughtful for a moment before speaking again. "Do you feel lonely?"
"...Yes."
"But you do not know why."
"No."
"Have you had problems lately?"
No, she has not had problems, she has never had problems, she has a normal and happy life, with a family that loves her and good friends.
But still.
Even so, she feels this pain.
"I feel like I do not belong anywhere." Nanoha spoke loudly without realizing it.
"How is that?" The dark haired boy asked clearly sound confused and curious.
"I do not know how to explain it, but I do not feel really happy." Nanoha continued a bit unsure. "I have no problems in my life, my family treats me well, I have good friends and school is not boring with them."
Nanoha started to tighten her chest.
"But I feel that that is not enough, that there is something missing in my life, and it hurts." Her voice started to break and she felt that incomprehensible pain in her chest again, the tears began to accumulate in her eyes and slowly dropped for his face. "I feel lonely, and it hurts, it hurts a lot."
She could not take it anymore and cried, soft moans of pain left her lips as she clutched her chest tightly and let out a strangled cry.
Nanoha did not care that there was someone with her, she did not care that she was embarrassing herself in front of he superior, all she wanted was to vent this pain.
"You have to be fucking kidding." The voice full of disbelief of his senpai drew his attention, she raised her gaze even tearful and saw the look of amazement and frustration on the face of the child. "Are you having an existential crisis? Really?" He asked, sounding increasingly annoyed.
"An existential crisis?" Nanoha asked still crying, her words barely understood between her sobs. "What is that?"
"I knew I should not get involved in this shit, well it's too late to regret it." With a sigh of resignation, the black haired boy turned back to her. "Look, what you're experiencing is normal ... well, almost normal."
Normal? How could this feeling of normal loneliness be?
She wanted to ask that, but she did not have the chance since the dark haired boy started talking again.
"You have a normal life, you do not have any kind of problem, you live in a good home with a good family, your life in school is not bad, but still you feel that you lack something." He began to speak, his words came out naturally, as if he knew exactly what was happening to Nanoha. "You feel a sense of emptiness inside you, something that does not let you live quietly, but you do not give much importance to the beginning, believing that it's only temporary."
At this point Nanoha calm her crying enough to be able to hear more clearly the words of her senpai. Everything he said described his situation perfectly, it was as if he knew what she was feeling.
"But as time goes on that feeling of emptiness gets stronger." He continued, the tone of his voice began to take a melancholy and sad touch. "You start trying to discover what causes that, but no matter how much you think about it or how much you look for it, you can not discover the reason behind that feeling of emptiness and that starts to hurt you."
"Every day, at all times, the pain that you lack something in your life, something important, does not let you live in peace, you try anything to forget that feeling, but nothing works, as the days go by, your strength goes away weakening, you feel that there is no point in continuing to live, that there is no sense in continuing with the same empty and boring routine. "
"Then one day you start to think: There is nothing important in my life, I bet if I die nothing would change."
Nanoha could not help but shudder at those words.
It is true that she felt the same way her senpai described, but she had never thought about that last part.
"You start to consider suicide, you start to see the bad of living, instead of focusing on the positive and what you can achieve, you start seeing the negative and the way you can fail." His sad and melancholy tone began to disappear and was replaced by a more calm and neutral one. "Every day, in every moment that you can simply join in your sadness and loneliness, you do not want to relate to anyone and you do not want anyone to help you, the idea of having no reason to continue living becomes stronger every time, after everything, is not going to achieve anything important in your life and once you die no one will remember you, why not just die at once and save yourself so much suffering? "
The dark haired boy remained silent and Nanoha was expectant before his next words.
"Then one day you just say, Fuck this, and you decide to just keep living even with that feeling of emptiness inside you." He voice started to take a fun touch. "You realize that it's no use thinking about those things, that, if you're going to die anyway and you will not be remembered, then at least you can live your life as you please before that happens.That feeling of pain and loneliness? That feeling that you lack something in life?

Nanoha paid full attention to his words, what he said, the way he described it, was the same, but at the same time different from what she was experiencing.
"And that's an existential crisis, or at least my experience with one." The dark haired boy finished, shrugging his shoulders as if what he had just said was not a big deal."Although I'm surprised that someone as young as you are going through something like that, girls your age should be more concerned about school, the guy they like or what the hell they're going to dine with tonight, not having a fucking existential crisis.

Is he going through the same thing?

Does he consider suicide?
She decided to take a chance and ask, even if she was rude, she needed an answer.
"I got over that a long time ago." The black haired boy said casually. "Even if it takes a while to achieve it."
"... Did you find him?" She asked anxiously.
"Find what?"
"What was missing in your life, did you find it?" She asked with more force this time.
"No." He admitted. "I have not done it and may never do it, but it's okay, I like my life as it is now."
"What?" Nanoha exclaimed confused.
Was he okay with feeling like this? Did not he care to find what would make him happy in life?
"Why?" She asked, her voice too loud, almost like a scream.
It was clear that his senpai was surprised by this question, but he still answered calmly.

Nanoha wiped her tears with the sleeves of her clothes before speaking.

"Not again." Before the boy could speak again Nanoha continued.
"That's why you and I are going to be friends." She spoke decisively.
The dark haired boy stared at him with a surprised look on his face, probably waiting for another attempt by Nanoha to convince him to change his way of life, but clearly he did not expect this.
"... I'm sorry, but I refuse."
"You have no choice, I already decided." Nanoha was not going to let him get rid of his decision.
"You have no right to decide that for me." He spoke sounding a little angry.
If there is something that characterizes Takamachi Nanoha is her stubbornness, once she decides to do something then she will not stop until she achieves it.
And now she is determined to become friends with her senpai.
"I already decided, you can not refuse."
"Fuck, girl, do not try to change the conversation." He growled, sounding really angry.
But she was not going to retract what she said.
Especially now that Nanoha had found someone like her. Not now that she knew how he felt. She would not abandon him and find a way to become his friend.
"You and I are alike, it's normal for people who share similarities in something to become friends, right?" She asked, slowly approaching her senpai.

"... Do not you think you're taking this a little too seriously?" His senpai's voice no longer sounded angry, instead it sounded more uncomfortable and somewhat frightened and he was slightly looking away.
That was good, that meant she had won.
"I'm taking it with the necessary seriousness."
"Too seriously, if you ask me."
Before Nanoha spoke again, her senpai said something that alarmed her.
"By the way, do not you have a place to go? Like your house, for example, I bet your parents are worried about your tardiness. "

Nanoha turned around and started hurrying towards her home.
"See you at the senpai school! The next time we see each other you'll have to tell me your name! "She screamed as she ran without turning around.
Maybe the feeling of loneliness that Nanoha carries does not disappear in a short time, and it is possible that she will not do it in a long time, but she would try to follow the advice of her Senpai and focus on other things. Maybe she will find a hobby after the school?
Be that as it may, she has plenty of time to think and is confident that her new friend will be happy to help.
As Nanoha left with a smile on her face and a renewed mood, Sakai Yuudai watched her leave from her position on the floor with a look of pure terror.
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck."
And so, unwittingly, Sakai Yuudai ruined the history of this world in a definitive way.
Nothing goes as planned.

- Mexico
My main language is not English, so this story will contain spelling errors, gender and out of time. Read it at your own risk.
I just realized that I published 3 chapters in 1 week, which is incredible if I consider how lazy I am.
This chapter was more difficult to write since the words did not come to my mind so easily. With luck in the next chapter begins the canon of Lyrical Nanoha, and I'm sure that will be easier to write.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
My first impression about Takamachi Nanoha before I knew who she was, is that she was a sad girl with serious problems that I could not ignore.
So, like the damn good-hearted man that I am, try to make her feel better, I want to emphasize trying, because I'm terrible at comforting people and even more giving advice, so just listen to her problems and tell her about my experience with what she was going through or at least something similar.
I never expected her to cry in front of me, it was really uncomfortable and it took me by surprise. Nor did I expect his outburst against me, let alone his statement about being my friend.
The least I expected was for her to be Takamachi Nanoha, the same girl whom I proposed to avoid at all costs.
After that horrible revelation my brain was caught between two options.
The first option I was most inclined to, was to throw myself into the sea at that very moment, swim and not stop until I arrived in Mexico, change my name to Alvin Yakitori and open a street taco stand and escape the changes that I have inevitably caused when interacting with Nanoha.
The second option was the one I liked the least because of the high probability of risks involved, and that was just staying, facing the consequences of my actions and dealing with all the shit that will definitely be thrown at me.
But like every human being I prefer to avoid problems, and I refuse to get involved with a girl who would definitely drag me into fights against magical girls, aliens, terrorists and ancient magical objects capable of destroying reality.
Maybe if I had been more assertive and aggressive by refusing his "offer" I could have escaped this, but Nanoha simply had to make that decision for me, get a little aggressive and invade my personal space.
Apart from my weakness for children and my stupid and good heart, I am also weak before people of strong character and who are not afraid to express their intentions. Knowing that, anyone could understand why during my final talk with Nanoha I began to waver and adopt a less secure and aggressive position before her.
I'm not good at dealing with that kind of person.
So my options are.
A) Run away from the country and start a new life. But I do not have the money to do that right now and I do not want to learn to swim.
B) Stay and face the consequences of my actions. Something that I refuse to do.
And an extra option, but one that will definitely fall apart in a matter of days when I run into Nanoha again.
C) Pretend that none of this happened, ignore Nanoha as much as I can and continue to live my life as normal as possible limiting my home trips and interactions with everyone.
Option A is completely ruled out because of how complicated it is, maybe if I called one of my parents to take me with them I would succeed, but I refuse to interact with any of them.
Option B is the one I like the least, the levels of power that the wizards of this world handle will definitely destroy me in a matter of seconds, the Lost Logia is something I would not touch even with a stick, and I doubt surviving a fight with Fate , unless I create a Hatsu to help me survive against her. Not to mention the countless butterflies that I will cause ... more than I already did.
Option C is a little solid, but it will collapse in a matter of time. I do not remember much about the personality of Nanoha apart from being the classic anime protagonist of good heart, but because of my brief interaction with her I can say that she will not stop until she reaches her goal.
If I choose option C, I will have some advantage, although we both go to the same school, Nanoha does not know my name or the classroom I'm in, she does not know where I live or the way I take to get home and I do not think she has the time or the patience to look for me all over the school until she finds me.
She is a 9 year old girl after all, probably not looking for me for so long.
All I have to do is hide from her at school and be aware of my surroundings, if I manage to do it for long enough I can avoid it until she meets ... What was her name? Oh, hell, I'll call him Ferret-boy, if I manage to hide from her until then, then I can go on with my quiet life.
Then I guess I already have a plan to follow.
With a renewed confidence I get up off the ground and head home, tomorrow I will begin my plan to avoid the plot at all costs.
____________________________________________________________________________
My plan started incredibly well and went to hell with the same speed.
I arrived a little late to school, just a couple of minutes before the classes started, Nanoha does not seem to be an unpunctual girl, so I assumed that by the time I arrived she would already be in her classroom waiting for the classes to take place. start.
Apparently I was right, since I did not see it anywhere during my way to the classroom, I was about to get into trouble with the teacher for being late, but I was able to avoid Nanoha for what it was worth.
The classes passed normally, that is clear until the break time arrived.
There was when my plan went to hell and all my hopes were crushed.
Standing at the exit of the classroom, with a box of bento in hand lay Takamachi Nanoha, smiling happily as if she saw nothing wrong with her action.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked completely surprised by his presence here. "No, more importantly, how the hell did you find me?"
It was impossible for Nanoha to know what classroom I was in.
"I came to invite you to lunch," she replied cheerfully. "And I saw you this morning when I was heading to my classroom before classes started, I saw you come in here, so I figured this was your classroom."
What the hell? How the hell did not I see her? Was I so confident in not picking it up that I accidentally let it see me? And what the hell was she doing on the third floor? The 3rd graders have their classrooms on the second floor!
The curious murmurs of my classmates echoed in the room, I can not blame them, I would also be curious if suddenly a 3-grade girl invited a 5-grade boy to lunch, especially when that boy is the antisocial of the room.
I can already foresee the jokes and rumors that will be created from this.
It does not matter, it may be that preventing her from knowing my classroom is no longer possible, but I can still ignore her.
Or so I thought.
Nanoha takes me by the hand without my consent and drags me through the corridors of the school, what used to be whispers now become questions and exclamations aloud, clearly nobody in my classroom expected this development of the events.
"Come on, I want to introduce you to my friends." Nanoha says cheerfully.
"What the hell did I tell you yesterday?" I asked, letting my discomfort show in my voice and stopping our progress through the corridors.
"You told me about how sad and empty you felt." She responds immediately as she looks into my eyes.
"I never said that!" I exclaim loudly.
"Of course you did." Nanoha speaks firmly. "You said that you had surrendered to find something that would make you happy and fill that void inside you, that's why I'm here."
"No! I told you that I did not want to be your friend and that you leave me alone! "My voice came out loud enough for some students who walked the corridors to turn around curious to see us.
Oh, wonderful, now we have an audience.
"And I told you we would both be friends." She responds totally determined to keep her word.
God, because he had to talk to her that day.
"Look, I appreciate the feeling, but I'm really fine with my life." I start to speak softly so that curious students who are nearby can not hear. "So please leave me alone and pretend we do not know each other."
Nanoha frowns and holds my hand tighter.
"I'm not going to abandon you, we both have the same problems and it's normal that we support each other." His voice leaves no room for objections.
"Besides, I already decided that we would be friends, you have no choice but to accept it."
Dammit! What the hell is wrong with this girl ?!
I try to get out of his grip and leave here, when she realizes that she drops the bento she was holding in her other hand and uses it to hold me with more strength.
"Let me go! I already told you I do not want to be your friend! "I shouted annoyed at his insistence.
"No! I said we will both be friends! You have no choice but to give me a chance! "
The screams of both managed to gather a small crowd of curious children for that.
My attempts to escape are redoubled, but they end up being useless. Where the fuck does this little girl get so much strength? I'm sure that if I want I can escape, but I do not want to damage it by accident.
"What's going on here?" The voice of a woman is noted among our fight, the students before meeting quickly move away to make way for a teacher clearly attracted by our discussion.
Nanoha and I stopped moving and stared at the teacher, from the look of surprise on Nanoha's face I can say that she did not expect a teacher to meddle in this.
"And good? I'm waiting for an answer. "The question is clearly directed towards us 2.
Nanoha does not seem to have an immediate response and the teacher seems to be losing patience.
"She's angry because I collide with her by accident and throw her bento to the ground." I lie quickly. "But she does not want to let me go."
Nanoha is surprised by my lie while the teacher only lets out a tired sigh.
"Just let it go girl and do not cause more fuss in the hallways."
"Understood master." I take advantage of Nanoha's carelessness and I release her grip, I bend over and take the bento she shot to give it to her. "Do not ever look for me again." I whisper as I approach her.
I move away from her and I walk through the corridors, the curious looks of the other students are still on us 2, but now that the drama is over they quickly lose interest.
This time Nanoha does not try to follow me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Teasing in the classroom after recess happened as expected. None of them took pity on their jokes and a few insults from the most aggressive students.
Wonderful, now I have a reputation for lolicon and the drama that happened in the hallway did nothing but increase the amount of rumors about me.
Damn, I'm only 2 years older than Nanoha. The lolicon label should not be used with me! ... Unless the years of my past life are told.
I tried to keep my mind occupied reading the textbooks of each corresponding class and I paid as much attention as I could to the teacher, but even so there was always someone who did not stop bothering me.
I was that annoying when I was a kid too?
Anyway, apart from the new rumors and ridicule addressed to my address there was nothing new in class. Nanoha did not come near me either after the scene we caused in the hallways.
For a brief moment I thought that Nanoha had finally understood that I did not want to have anything to do with her.
Obviously I was wrong.
When the bell announced the end of classes, I quickly put away my books and get up from my seat, ignore the few mockeries thrown by the children at my person and I left the room.
The road was quiet and uncomplicated, until I reached the school gate.
"You have to be kidding." I could not help complaining loudly.
"Uh, hi." Nanoha greets me in a rather shy way.
Fuck, I'm going to cut this once and for all.
I take her by the hand and drag her as far as possible from the school, she lets out a little cry of surprise, but she does nothing to resist.
We walked a few blocks away from the school and I took us both to an alley between the buildings. Here there is less chance that someone will see us or hear what we are talking about.
I released her hand and I turned to see her, opening my mouth to make clear my disgust at his insistence.
"I'm sorry."
Just to close it when I hear her speak.
I blink, confused by his apology.
"It bothers you this afternoon and you almost get into trouble because of me." She continues to sound repentant and avoids looking me in the face. "I Act in a childish way and I'm sorry about that."
I... what?
Is she apologizing? Her apology sounds ... incredibly mature and sincere.
"Why are you so determined to be my friend?" I asked with real curiosity, my plan has not changed, but if I want to avoid causing more changes or at least keeping them to a minimum, I need to know the reason why she is so determined to be my friend. "And do not tell me it's because I feel lonely, because I do not believe you."
Nanoha does not answer me immediately, instead she keeps silent by nervously shuffling her feet and looking around as if she's looking for something.
"I was not lying when I said I do not like you being alone," she began. "It's not good that you do not want to be happy, I do not lie when I say I want you to be happy." Even though she speaks so calmly I can feel the honesty and disgust in her voice. "But ... it's also because I do not want to be alone."
"What? What do you mean? "I asked completely bewildered by this statement.
"It's just that you're able to understand me." Nanoha's gaze still wanders around, I do not know if she's nervous about someone seeing us or it's just because she's ashamed to tell me the truth. "It may sound selfish, but I do not want to get away from someone who feels the same emptiness that I do and who may be able to help me." She admits very timidly, as if ashamed of her words.
I think for a moment of what she told me. Actually, what she says makes sense, if I were in her place I would also look for someone who can understand my situation and who can help me.
I understand, but I still do not want to get involved with her.
If she were someone else I would probably become her friend and help her, I'm not good at ignoring people with problems, but she is Nanoha, no matter how much I want to help her or my feelings about it, staying away from her is the best I can do to not cause changes in the world.
"I understand what you say, but I still do not want to be your friend and I do not want to help you, so please leave me alone."
Nanoha does not seem discouraged by my words, it actually seemed like she was waiting for me to say exactly that.
"I thought you would say that." I knew it. "But even so I will not leave you alone, if necessary I will look for you every day in your classroom and in every corner of the school to spend time with you and until I can find a way to become your friend."
Nanoha approaches me and raises her gaze in such a way that her eyes see directly to mine.
"And your eyes say you really care about me." She ends with a kind smile.
"It's not true." I'm quick to deny that accusation.
"If you did not worry about what happened to me then you would not have tried to help me yesterday and you would not have such a conflicted and sad look at the moment." She spoke completely convinced of his words. "That's why I'll help you be happy, even if you do not want to."
Neither of us said another word, we just stood in the middle of the alley staring at each other, Nanoha's eyes made her intentions and determination clear and that kind smile on her face did nothing but make me feel uncomfortable.
I could not help it and let out a tired sigh.
I'm not good at dealing with this kind of person.
I just realized that I published 3 chapters in 1 week, which is incredible if I consider how lazy I am.
This chapter was more difficult to write since the words did not come to my mind so easily. With luck in the next chapter begins the canon of Lyrical Nanoha, and I'm sure that will be easier to write.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
My first impression about Takamachi Nanoha before I knew who she was, is that she was a sad girl with serious problems that I could not ignore.
So, like the damn good-hearted man that I am, try to make her feel better, I want to emphasize trying, because I'm terrible at comforting people and even more giving advice, so just listen to her problems and tell her about my experience with what she was going through or at least something similar.
I never expected her to cry in front of me, it was really uncomfortable and it took me by surprise. Nor did I expect his outburst against me, let alone his statement about being my friend.
The least I expected was for her to be Takamachi Nanoha, the same girl whom I proposed to avoid at all costs.
After that horrible revelation my brain was caught between two options.
The first option I was most inclined to, was to throw myself into the sea at that very moment, swim and not stop until I arrived in Mexico, change my name to Alvin Yakitori and open a street taco stand and escape the changes that I have inevitably caused when interacting with Nanoha.
The second option was the one I liked the least because of the high probability of risks involved, and that was just staying, facing the consequences of my actions and dealing with all the shit that will definitely be thrown at me.
But like every human being I prefer to avoid problems, and I refuse to get involved with a girl who would definitely drag me into fights against magical girls, aliens, terrorists and ancient magical objects capable of destroying reality.
Maybe if I had been more assertive and aggressive by refusing his "offer" I could have escaped this, but Nanoha simply had to make that decision for me, get a little aggressive and invade my personal space.
Apart from my weakness for children and my stupid and good heart, I am also weak before people of strong character and who are not afraid to express their intentions. Knowing that, anyone could understand why during my final talk with Nanoha I began to waver and adopt a less secure and aggressive position before her.
I'm not good at dealing with that kind of person.
So my options are.
A) Run away from the country and start a new life. But I do not have the money to do that right now and I do not want to learn to swim.
B) Stay and face the consequences of my actions. Something that I refuse to do.
And an extra option, but one that will definitely fall apart in a matter of days when I run into Nanoha again.
C) Pretend that none of this happened, ignore Nanoha as much as I can and continue to live my life as normal as possible limiting my home trips and interactions with everyone.
Option A is completely ruled out because of how complicated it is, maybe if I called one of my parents to take me with them I would succeed, but I refuse to interact with any of them.
Option B is the one I like the least, the levels of power that the wizards of this world handle will definitely destroy me in a matter of seconds, the Lost Logia is something I would not touch even with a stick, and I doubt surviving a fight with Fate , unless I create a Hatsu to help me survive against her.

Of course, things could not continue as they should.
- Location
- Mexico
My main language is not English, so this story will contain spelling errors, gender and out of time. Read it at your own risk.
I have never considered myself as someone talkative or very social, in fact I am the opposite, I try to avoid people as much as I can and I do not talk to anyone unless it is necessary or they direct me to speak.
That's mainly because I do not have anything interesting to talk about with other people. A sociable person would talk about funny, annoying or sad events that they have lived, I can only talk about series, movies and games. That does not mean that talking to me is not interesting, but let's be honest, a person with an active social life will be more interesting and charismatic than a person with zero social life, who only works, studies and surfs the Internet.
A subject that I have always liked to talk about is fiction. If someone tries to start a conversation with me about games, comics or manga that I know, then I will definitely talk.
"There's no way for Sephiroth to beat Superman."
"Yes, there is!"
"No, there is not, Superman moves planets with one hand, the last time I checked it Sephiroth did not have that amount of force."
"Sephiroth destroys planets!"
"Superman does the same and more easily."
"Argh! Nanoha tell him!"
"Uh, I do not think I know a lot about comics."
"But we've played Final Fantasy. Tell him Sephiroth is stronger than Superman!"
Since Nanoha came looking for me that day, the ridicule directed at me has increased, not that I care, but it is annoying, the fact that she came the next day and I followed without protest did nothing but increase the amount of ridicule thrown at my address.
The rumors about me being a lolicon despite the tiny difference of 2 years spread like a virus among the students of 5 and 6 grade. That obviously meant an increase in teasing from my classmates and some students belonging to other classrooms.
I'm surprised at how quickly the rumors travel, but when I remember that those who propagate them are idiotic teenagers in search of entertainment, my surprise disappears.
The second time that Nanoha came looking for me I had to ask her to stop doing it, when she questioned why, I simply replied that even if she did not look for me I would go to the roof of the school to have lunch with her and her friends. The reason I asked for that was because I did not want any of my classmates to start bothering her.
My plan to avoid interacting with Nanoha was, as I expected, useless, it crumbled no less than 24 hours when I started it and I did not even try too hard to continue it.
But after the conversation we both had that afternoon, I realized that no matter what I did, I was not going to get rid of Nanoha. So I had no choice but to accept "becoming her friend", although I prefer to see it as a forced coexistence.
"No matter how many abilities Sephiroth has, Superman has more and more powerful."
"Superhero comics are ridiculous!"
"The same could be said for your video games."
During the last 3 days I have been having lunch with Nanoha and her friends, whom I had the misfortune to meet.
A Tsundere and a shy and friendly girl.
Me and the Tsundere, Arisa, I reminded myself, we do not start very well, to be a 9 year old girl she has a strong character. She did not take long to blame me for Nanoha's recent depression even though I had not known her for a day.
I simply ignored her comments and pretended that she was not there.
The other girl, Suzuka, was at least more tolerable, she was nice to me, she did not blame me, and when she saw that I was not interested in starting a conversation she left me alone.
Why can not all children be like her? I bet my life would be easier.
Nanoha herself tried to introduce me into their conversations several times, but I only gave short answers or some grunt of confirmation. Despite that, she did not give up and kept trying to talk about different topics so that I would open up more.
Which brings me to my current situation.
"A man who is capable of destroying planets with his hands is nothing believable!"
"And someone who is capable of doing it with magic is?"
"I'm starting to think that talking about this was a bad idea." Nanoha muttered a little worried.
"I do not know, I find it fun." Suzuka comments while she saw us arguing.
"It's impossible for Superman to defeat Sephiroth, he destroys several planets at the same time!"
"Superman is faster than Sephiroth, even if Sephiroth attacks him, he can simply evade it easily."
"No, he can not!"
Nanoha had the wonderful idea of talking about video games. Video games are something I love in my past life, and although my interest in them is not as strong as before, they still occupy a special place in my heart.
But she talked about Final Fatasy, a game that Nanoha and her friends apparently had recently finished.
"Sephiroth is practically a god!"
"I do not see how that is relevant, and Superman can also be considered a god by his power."
"No, Superman is an alien! You said it yourself!"
"And Sephiroth is just a human ... I think."
Nanoha managed to capture my attention when mentioning videogames, at first I stayed distant and did not talk to them, but that changed when Arisa proclaimed Sephiroth as the most powerful character in fiction.
Naturally, like the good Samaritan that I am, I decided to correct it.
She did not take it very well.
"You do not even know Sephiroth and yet you say he's weaker than Superman!"
"I do not need to know him to know that he's weaker than Superman, just read the comics to realize how fucking powerful he is."
"Language!"
"I'm busy Takamachi-san, mole me with that later."
Both, Arisa and I, we started a discussion about which character is more powerful than Sephiroth, or, rather, I quoting a long list of characters that would sweep the floor with Sephiroth, while Arisa tries to defend it uselessly.
Needless to say, it is obvious that I won all the arguments.
"I told you to call me Nanoha."
"And I told you I did not want to be here, but we can not all get what we want."
From the point of view of another person it might seem that I am having a small discussion with my friends about something trivial. But they are not my friends, and the discussion I'm having with Arisa is not trivial.
"I do not expect a naive and capricious girl to understand the greatness of comics."
"And I do not expect a lolicon to understand the greatness of Sephiroth."
"You're lucky to be a girl, otherwise I would have hit you." Probably.
Seriously, the rumor about me being a lolicon is getting annoying, it's only 2 years apart! And I do not like them! I'm not lolicon!
The only thought of me entering into that kind of relationship with a minor makes me nauseous, I do not know which person in my classroom started the rumor, but if I ever find it, I swear to God that I will suffer it.
The sound of the bell announcing the end of the recess sounds throughout the school.
"Oh, is it time to go back?" Suzuka speaks slightly surprised. "Time went by very fast watching them argue."
"Yes, I had not seen Arisa so passionate in a discussion for a long time." Nanoha exclaims sounding a bit funny.
"You can not blame me, it's his fault for saying something so ridiculous!" Arisa waves her hand violently in my direction. "What he said was absurd."
"I remember when I used to be so naive." Mutter in a low voice. Seriously, I understand Arisa's bigotry for Sephiroth, but it is obvious that he is not the strongest fictional character that exists, I used to think the same of Goku until I met the internet.
"I heard that!"
"That's fine, so I will not have to repeat myself." I turned around and walked towards the exit of the roof of the school, most of the children up here were already dating and I did not want to stay behind.
Nanoha quickly runs to my side. "You had fun?" She ask curious.
I blinked, slightly surprised by that question.
I had fun?
"...No."
"Insurance?" She presses. "You seemed very entertaining when you talked to Arisa."
"I was not having fun." Try to deny that accusation. "I was frustrated that she did not admit that Sephiroth is not the strongest character that exists."
"Of course it is!" Arisa shouted behind me.
"Mmm, of course, what you say." Nanoha said, clearly not convinced by my response.
To be honest, if I had a little fun talking to Arisa, how long ago did I not talk to someone about something like that?
Of course I was not going to admit that out loud.
"By the way." Nanoha talks while looking at me smiling. "I think Sephiroth is stronger than Superman." Releasing a small laugh she turns away from me and walks with her friends.
...
"What a stupid thing."
"Language!"
"Hey Sakai, did you see your girlfriends again?"
"I never imagined you were a lolicon."
"Disgusting!"
Go fuck yourself all, are lucky to be underage or otherwise I would have beaten them all ... Who I cheat, I would not hit them even if they were not children, I am too peaceful to do something like that.
As every day from this week, my classmates began to laugh at me after finishing the recess, it was not a secret to anyone that I had lunch with the 3 girls of 3th grade, and being honest I do not think that is something that I could keep secret.
The desire to simply hit one of them in the face and silence them was strong, but I stood firm, their taunts and insults do not hurt me, but they bother me too much.
Especially the part of the lolicon.
Luckily for me the classes are finally about to end, it is only a matter of a few more minutes and I will be free from this hell.
DING-DONG!
Oh, how timely.
The teacher gave some final words about the next exams and then said goodbye to the rest of the class. Not wanting to interact more with my fellow idiots, I quickly left the classroom.
The corridors of the school are full of students of varying degrees, willing to get out of this hell called school and finally have the freedom they so longed for.
Or at least it is for the higher grades that we know how difficult and stressful school becomes when you are about to graduate. Only 6th grade students have experienced how annoying it is, but the students belonging to 5th grade already have a clear idea of what the future holds for us once this school year is over.
I said it once and I'll say it again, I hate school.
Finally, I left school and I was free to do whatever I wanted for the rest of the day. For a moment I thought about visiting Hayate, but I remembered that she had an appointment with her doctor today, so I got rid of that idea.
Maybe I'll sleep a little? I have nothing better to do after all.
As I walked through the streets towards my home, I could not help thinking that I was forgetting something.
"Yuudai-kun!" A familiar voice shouts my name.
I can not avoid a chill, of course she would use the "kun" in my name.
With resignation I turn around to see Nanoha running in my direction, well at least we are not so close to school, so there should not be many problems if I stop to talk to her a bit.
"Do you need something Takamachi-san?" I asked wanting to get through this as quickly as possible.
Nanoha looked a little annoyed, probably because I called her by her last name and not her name, but in the end she let it go. "Where are you going?" She asked.
"Home, obviously."
"But you promised you would help me find a hobby."
Oh, then that was what I forgot.
"You forgot, right?"
"... No." I lied weakly. "I did not know you wanted us to do it today."
Nanoha narrowed her eyes, clearly not buying my lie.
"Let's sit there." I point to a lonely bank that was outside a grocery store.
She nodded and we both went to sit down.
"Do you have any specific tastes?" I started the conversation, I do not want to spend much time with her for fear of affecting the plot more than what I already did, but it is difficult for me to deny a request for help.
I'm too good for my own good.
"Well." Nanoha touches her lip with her index finger as she thinks of an answer. "I like helping people."
"I do not think that counts as a hobby." I interrupted a little surprised by that response.
"Oh, it's okay, what do you like?"
I frowned at that question. "We are talking about your tastes to be able to find a hobby that suits you."
"Uh, yeah, about that." Nanoha laughs nervously as she scratches her head. "I was thinking maybe we could have a hobby together." She admits, this time sounding a bit excited. "You and I have not spent much time together since we're friends-"
"We are not friends," I interrupted abruptly. "The only reason I'm with you is because you will not stop looking for me if I do not."
"But I see you as a friend." Nanoha says that with all the confidence in the world.
"Yeah, well, I do not." I shrugged.
"Even so, I wish we both had a hobby together." She continues with the subject before, ignoring my previous statement.
I sighed annoyed because of her insistence on being my friend. "Takamachi-san, I appreciate the concern you show for me, but I've already told you several times, I do not want to be your friend and I do not need help to be happy, my life is fine as it is."
Except school, of course.
...
Wait a minute.
Nanoha was about to say something, but I interrupted her again.
"Hey." I started sounding a little suspicious. "Are not you supposed to have to attend more classes after finishing school?"
She remained silent for a moment, looking at me confusedly before jumping quickly from her seat. "I forgot it!" She shouted alarmed. "I was so excited to talk to you that I forgot to go to school!
"That's very irresponsible." I'll admit that I'm very surprised at her statement. Does she really want to be my friend so much?
"I'm going to be late!" Nanoha screamed in panic as she scratched her head furiously, no doubt, worried about the consequences this could bring her.
I guess I have nothing left but to help.
Why can not I just ignore it?
Oh, right, I have a weakness for children.
I let out a sigh of resignation."Come with me, I'll help you get a taxi so you can get there in time."
Nanoha stopped her scandal to turn to see me still worried. "But I do not have money to pay for a taxi."
Another sigh, this time of pain, came out of my mouth. "Then I guess I'll pay for it."
"But-"
"Do you want to arrive on time or not?" I asked, letting my discomfort be noticeable in my voice, seriously, it's one thing to have to spend time with her, it's quite another to spend money for her.
"Uh, yeah." She answered sounding a little shy, probably because of the tone she used when speaking to her.
"Well, then come on, the faster we get a taxi, the quicker I'll get rid of you."
Nanoha just nodded and followed me.
"Thanks for helping me." She said softly.
"You're supposed to complain about what I said, not thank me."
Although I'm sure she now sees me as a good person, more than she already did, of course.
No matter, my plan, if you can call it that, remains the same, interact as little as possible with Nanoha and his friends, to prevent the plot from derailing.
For now I'll sleep a little, later I'll be able to think about what to do to avoid interacting a lot with Nanoha.
"Please help."
... Well, this is getting a little scary.
With much effort I forced myself out of bed, the dream was still present in my body, and that was notorious due to the clumsiness of my movements when I tried to walk towards the noise.
The sound came from the kitchen, so I carefully went there, I took a small look from one corner of the entrance to the kitchen, but I could not see anything out of the ordinary. I carefully entered the kitchen, at this point the dream had already left my body and a small amount of adrenaline took its place.
"Please help." The voice spoke again, I tried to look around, worried that someone had gotten into my house while I was asleep, but I saw nothing.
Well, calm down Yuudai, you are not helpless, remember that you have Nen.
Activating my Nen, I entered with more confidence in the kitchen, if someone tried to attack me now I could face it with more confidence. Quickly take a knife that was lying on top of the stove. Once again, the blow was present, but now that I was finally awake I was able to hear perfectly where it came from.
I turned my gaze to the window and-
"A rat." I said out loud.
There was a rat outside the kitchen window, a huge, ugly, bloody rat that was trying to get into my house.
Wait a minute, does that rat have a stone tied around its neck?
"Please help."
I jumped out of my place surprised by the voice, I looked around once more, but there was no one in the house.
Suddenly a crazy idea came to my head, I turned my eyes to the rat and insecure point one of my fingers in my direction.
To my surprise, the rat moved its head up and down, in confirmation.
I have a bad feeling.
And as if destiny had decided to respond to my thought, the left wall of the kitchen exploded, sending pieces of cement flying everywhere, luckily for me it had already activated my Nen before entering the kitchen, so the damage I received little, however, the pieces of what was once a wall that managed to impact me were strong enough to send me flying a few meters.
Throw a curse out loud, a little sore and surprised by what happened.
An inhuman roar echoed inside my house, causing me to look up in fright to see what it was.
In front of me, standing right where there should be a wall, there was one ... thing, it was black, huge, hairy and definitely not something that belonged to this world.
His huge red eyes saw me directly and without warning and just giving me time to react, that thing leapt towards me.
I hate when I'm right.
___________________________________________________________________
I have never considered myself as someone talkative or very social, in fact I am the opposite, I try to avoid people as much as I can and I do not talk to anyone unless it is necessary or they direct me to speak.
That's mainly because I do not have anything interesting to talk about with other people. A sociable person would talk about funny, annoying or sad events that they have lived, I can only talk about series, movies and games. That does not mean that talking to me is not interesting, but let's be honest, a person with an active social life will be more interesting and charismatic than a person with zero social life, who only works, studies and surfs the Internet.
A subject that I have always liked to talk about is fiction. If someone tries to start a conversation with me about games, comics or manga that I know, then I will definitely talk.
"There's no way for Sephiroth to beat Superman."
"Yes, there is!"
"No, there is not, Superman moves planets with one hand, the last time I checked it Sephiroth did not have that amount of force."
"Sephiroth destroys planets!"
"Superman does the same and more easily."
"Argh! Nanoha tell him!"
"Uh, I do not think I know a lot about comics."
"But we've played Final Fantasy. Tell him Sephiroth is stronger than Superman!"
Since Nanoha came looking for me that day, the ridicule directed at me has increased, not that I care, but it is annoying, the fact that she came the next day and I followed without protest did nothing but increase the amount of ridicule thrown at my address.
The rumors about me being a lolicon despite the tiny difference of 2 years spread like a virus among the students of 5 and 6 grade. That obviously meant an increase in teasing from my classmates and some students belonging to other classrooms.
I'm surprised at how quickly the rumors travel, but when I remember that those who propagate them are idiotic teenagers in search of entertainment, my surprise disappears.
The second time that Nanoha came looking for me I had to ask her to stop doing it, when she questioned why, I simply replied that even if she did not look for me I would go to the roof of the school to have lunch with her and her friends. The reason I asked for that was because I did not want any of my classmates to start bothering her.
My plan to avoid interacting with Nanoha was, as I expected, useless, it crumbled no less than 24 hours when I started it and I did not even try too hard to continue it.
But after the conversation we both had that afternoon, I realized that no matter what I did, I was not going to get rid of Nanoha. So I had no choice but to accept "becoming her friend", although I prefer to see it as a forced coexistence.
"No matter how many abilities Sephiroth has, Superman has more and more powerful."
"Superhero comics are ridiculous!"
"The same could be said for your video games."
During the last 3 days I have been having lunch with Nanoha and her friends, whom I had the misfortune to meet.
A Tsundere and a shy and friendly girl.
Me and the Tsundere, Arisa, I reminded myself, we do not start very well, to be a 9 year old girl she has a strong character. She did not take long to blame me for Nanoha's recent depression even though I had not known her for a day.
I simply ignored her comments and pretended that she was not there.
The other girl, Suzuka, was at least more tolerable, she was nice to me, she did not blame me, and when she saw that I was not interested in starting a conversation she left me alone.
Why can not all children be like her? I bet my life would be easier.
Nanoha herself tried to introduce me into their conversations several times, but I only gave short answers or some grunt of confirmation. Despite that, she did not give up and kept trying to talk about different topics so that I would open up more.
Which brings me to my current situation.
"A man who is capable of destroying planets with his hands is nothing believable!"
"And someone who is capable of doing it with magic is?"
"I'm starting to think that talking about this was a bad idea." Nanoha muttered a little worried.
"I do not know, I find it fun." Suzuka comments while she saw us arguing.
"It's impossible for Superman to defeat Sephiroth, he destroys several planets at the same time!"
"Superman is faster than Sephiroth, even if Sephiroth attacks him, he can simply evade it easily."
"No, he can not!"
Nanoha had the wonderful idea of talking about video games. Video games are something I love in my past life, and although my interest in them is not as strong as before, they still occupy a special place in my heart.
But she talked about Final Fatasy, a game that Nanoha and her friends apparently had recently finished.
"Sephiroth is practically a god!"
"I do not see how that is relevant, and Superman can also be considered a god by his power."
"No, Superman is an alien! You said it yourself!"
"And Sephiroth is just a human ... I think."
Nanoha managed to capture my attention when mentioning videogames, at first I stayed distant and did not talk to them, but that changed when Arisa proclaimed Sephiroth as the most powerful character in fiction.
Naturally, like the good Samaritan that I am, I decided to correct it.
She did not take it very well.
"You do not even know Sephiroth and yet you say he's weaker than Superman!"
"I do not need to know him to know that he's weaker than Superman, just read the comics to realize how fucking powerful he is."
"Language!"
"I'm busy Takamachi-san, mole me with that later."
Both, Arisa and I, we started a discussion about which character is more powerful than Sephiroth, or, rather, I quoting a long list of characters that would sweep the floor with Sephiroth, while Arisa tries to defend it uselessly.
Needless to say, it is obvious that I won all the arguments.
"I told you to call me Nanoha."
"And I told you I did not want to be here, but we can not all get what we want."
From the point of view of another person it might seem that I am having a small discussion with my friends about something trivial. But they are not my friends, and the discussion I'm having with Arisa is not trivial.
"I do not expect a naive and capricious girl to understand the greatness of comics."
"And I do not expect a lolicon to understand the greatness of Sephiroth."
"You're lucky to be a girl, otherwise I would have hit you." Probably.
Seriously, the rumor about me being a lolicon is getting annoying, it's only 2 years apart! And I do not like them! I'm not lolicon!
The only thought of me entering into that kind of relationship with a minor makes me nauseous, I do not know which person in my classroom started the rumor, but if I ever find it, I swear to God that I will suffer it.
The sound of the bell announcing the end of the recess sounds throughout the school.
"Oh, is it time to go back?" Suzuka speaks slightly surprised. "Time went by very fast watching them argue."
"Yes, I had not seen Arisa so passionate in a discussion for a long time." Nanoha exclaims sounding a bit funny.
"You can not blame me, it's his fault for saying something so ridiculous!" Arisa waves her hand violently in my direction. "What he said was absurd."
"I remember when I used to be so naive." Mutter in a low voice. Seriously, I understand Arisa's bigotry for Sephiroth, but it is obvious that he is not the strongest fictional character that exists, I used to think the same of Goku until I met the internet.
"I heard that!"
"That's fine, so I will not have to repeat myself." I turned around and walked towards the exit of the roof of the school, most of the children up here were already dating and I did not want to stay behind.
Nanoha quickly runs to my side. "You had fun?" She ask curious.
I blinked, slightly surprised by that question.
I had fun?
"...No."
"Insurance?" She presses. "You seemed very entertaining when you talked to Arisa."
"I was not having fun." Try to deny that accusation. "I was frustrated that she did not admit that Sephiroth is not the strongest character that exists."
"Of course it is!" Arisa shouted behind me.
"Mmm, of course, what you say." Nanoha said, clearly not convinced by my response.

Of course I was not going to admit that out loud.

...
"What a stupid thing."
"Language!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teenagers are all a ball of misfits who get carried away by their hormones. All of them are hungry for gossip and attention and love to upset people with a submissive and clumsy personality. They are very excitable and commit stupidities most of the time just for fun or to prove themselves.
It is true that not all are like that, but most teenagers who are able to socialize with other people easily are idiots, as long as they are accepted by others they are willing to do stupid things. At least in my old life I have seen many of them commit stupidities, join gangs, be arrested, be parents before finishing high school and in extreme cases the primary.
And all for what? Be popular? Presume that they have lost their virginity before their other friends? Impress a girl?
But the worst, in my opinion, are those who seek to feel superior to others by intimidating people weaker than themselves through physical or verbal violence, idiotic teenagers who gather in groups to have fun at the expense of a poor helpless student.
Or I may also hate teenagers with that kind of personality because my classroom is full of them and I am the preferred victim.It is true that not all are like that, but most teenagers who are able to socialize with other people easily are idiots, as long as they are accepted by others they are willing to do stupid things.

Why can not I just ignore it?
Oh, right, I have a weakness for children.
I let out a sigh of resignation."Come with me, I'll help you get a taxi so you can get there in time."
Nanoha stopped her scandal to turn to see me still worried. "But I do not have money to pay for a taxi."
Another sigh, this time of pain, came out of my mouth. "Then I guess I'll pay for it."

Nanoha just nodded and followed me.
"Thanks for helping me." She said softly.
"You're supposed to complain about what I said, not thank me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once I got home, the first thing I did was throw myself in my bed. I was so tired by the repercussions that my recent actions can bring, that I do not even bother to take off my uniform or my shoes. Looking back, maybe helping Nanoha to get to class on time was not the right choice, logically speaking clearly, morally maybe it was. But I do not think that matters now, what is done is done.
Although I'm sure she now sees me as a good person, more than she already did, of course.
No matter, my plan, if you can call it that, remains the same, interact as little as possible with Nanoha and his friends, to prevent the plot from derailing.
For now I'll sleep a little, later I'll be able to think about what to do to avoid interacting a lot with Nanoha.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sound of a constant pounding came to my ears, at first I tried to ignore it and keep sleeping with the hope that it was what caused that sound to stop, but it was not so and shortly after the blow was accompanied by a weak and childish voice.
"Please help."
... Well, this is getting a little scary.
With much effort I forced myself out of bed, the dream was still present in my body, and that was notorious due to the clumsiness of my movements when I tried to walk towards the noise.

If there is no transformation sequence. Am I still a Magical Gi-err-Boy?
- Location
- Mexico
I rewrote the first chapter a bit, you know, correcting some spelling and gender mistakes, I don't know how well I stay, but if you want to go read it there it is.
I will try to correct several spelling and gender errors in the other chapters over the course of the week.
Nothing more to say: My main language is not English, so this story will contain spelling errors, gender and out of time. Read it at your own risk.
Despite being lazy, I have always liked to run, it is somewhat relaxing and a good way to release the excess energy my body has, not to mention that it is also a good exercise to increase my endurance. That's why I usually do it at least 5 days a week, except Saturday and Sunday, because I'm a lazy bastard who sleeps as much as possible during those days.
That's why at this moment, while I dodge the attacks of the giant ball of hair and I run as fast as I have done in my life, I feel relieved to have decided to exercise, I have not had time to count, but I am almost sure that this monster has been chasing me for at least 10 minutes without rest! It is crazy! If it had been me 4 months ago, I would have died!
"Watch out!"
The warning came too late.
I barely had enough time to look around and see how one of the monster's tentacles threw itself furiously at me, without time to dodge or block the attack, I was hit hard in the back, the sound of my body being beaten cruelly resonated in the street, my body was sent to fly the fortunately empty streets. I hit the ground hard and skidded painfully on him, my exposed arms burned slightly for being dragged on the ground, even so the pain in my back was worse, my Nen could not completely block the attack, I blame the stupid career that I have had.
I let out a groan of pain and I get up slowly, ignoring the burning in my arms and the pain in my back, oh man, this is going to hurt me much more tomorrow.
"Are you okay?!"
"Yes, but no thanks to you." I replied with some difficulty to the annoying rat that surprisingly still held my shoulder, I took a long breath before speaking again. "That damn thing doesn't get tired? I've been running for about 10 minutes but the bastard doesn't stop!"
"I'm sorry." The rat on my shoulder apologized, his voice came out weak and understandable, probably because of the wounds he had. "It's my fault you're in this situation."
"Yes, well, sooner or later the shit was going to hit the fan, but I didn't expect it to be this way." Seriously, in all the ways I could have derailed the canon, because it had to be this way. I turned my eyes back to the monster- "Shit!" I took the rat hard in my hand and got up as fast as possible, I put all the forces I could on my legs and jumped away, ignoring the burning in my back and the pain in my body, I was barely fast enough to evade the onslaught of the huge monster, which let out a furious roar for having failed its attack.
I made a face, I can't keep running away, I'm starting to get tired and the blows received don't help at all, Nanoha hasn't appeared and it's a matter of time before I run out of Nen.
"If you do what I say we can beat it!"
But if I do what you say, everything will go to hell.
But if I don't do it then I will most likely die.
"Watch out!"
I barely had enough time to lift my two arms and cover myself with the blow I received, the monster had recovered and rammed me with its huge body once more, this time hitting me successfully and throwing me through the empty streets, my body collided several times violently against the ground before stopping.
That hurt, it hurt a lot.
"You're good?!"
"Ugrra." I groaned, not finding enough strength to form a tangible answer.
"Quick take this." In a hurry, the talking rat took off the pink stone that was on its neck and offered it to me on one of its tiny legs. Bastard, I'm trying to catch my breath, at least wait for it to end. "Help me defeat that monster, I promise I will reward you."
And crap, it's your fault that this thing is chasing me in the first place, why the hell didn't you look for Nanoha?
"Oh shit." I take the rat in my hands and jump away, just in time to avoid being crushed by the huge ball of hair that destroyed the ground where I was a few seconds ago, creating spider-shaped cracks that spread several meters down the street .
Even with my Nen, if I hadn't moved, I would have broken many bones in my body, or worse, I would have died.
... Fuck, I'll solve the butterflies later.
Even with the rat in my hand, I ran quickly to a nearby bush to hide from the monster.
"That I have to do?" I Ask, fuck the canon, I'm about to be killed by this monster, I'll find a way to fix it later. Also, what are the chances of this working?
"Hold this in your hands and free your mind." Take the stone offered and did what he told me, I just hope nothing cheesy happens. "Administration permission, open user registration functions."
I thought this was a magic stone, not a computer.
I felt a stream of energy around me that wasn't here before, I opened my eyes in surprise. The stone in my hand was shining brightly and on the ground beneath me was a huge green circle with unintelligible symbols.
This does seem magic.
"Repeat with me: The wind is in the sky, the stars in the firmament."
"How problematic." I sighed annoyed and closed my eyes again. "The wind is in the sky, the stars in the firmament."
"A relentless heart beats inside me."
Oh god, this sounds so cheesy, if it wasn't because I know it's necessary then I wouldn't speak. "A relentless heart beats inside me."
"Grant the magic to these hands!"
"Grant the magic to these hands!" I put all the energy I could in that sentence, this may be cheesy, but I need it to survive tonight. Close your eyes tightly, prepared for any magic and flashy shit that would happen.
...
...
...
[Welcome, new user]
Eh?
I opened my eyes again and ... nothing? I mean, the stone in my hands I speak and I feel a little different, but other than that there was nothing new. No transformation, no bright lights, fuck, I didn't even feel a little stronger, just with more ... energy, I guess.
"Oh, I expected you to have more potential, but it should work for now."
Potential? What potential?
I was about to open my mouth to interrogate the rat when suddenly a cloud of dirt and dust appeared before me, a slight tremor shook the area around. I looked wide-eyed in surprise and fear as the furry monster came out of the cloud of dust and headed right for me.
"Fuck!" I need to get out of here or I'm dead! I try to get up, but I'm not fast enough! The only thing I can do is protect myself, but I'm still sure I will receive a lot of damage! But I have no choice, so I raise both arms in front of my body and try to use Intesification as fast as I can! I'm not sure I'll make it on time-!
[Protection]
Then I felt it.
I felt like a small part of my Nen was suddenly drained, it was as if someone was pulling it with the clear intention of snatching it away, and the worst part is that they were making it. I felt like the protective aura around my body weakened and my strength wavered slightly.
But I didn't even have time to worry about it when a translucent green barrier appeared between the monster about to ram me and me. I couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise when the huge monster hit the barrier without being able to cross it.
"What the fuck ?!" I was so surprised that I took several steps back and unintentionally ended up stumbling and falling to the ground, even so I could not care less.
[An unknown type of energy has been detected surrounding the body of the new user] The stone in my hand spoke, capturing my attention. [Analyzes show that there are no negative reactions in the user's body. Unknown energy has proven to be somewhat manipulable to serve as a replacement for the mana needed to cast spells]
"Unknown energy?" The rat, which was now on the ground near my talk.
Uh, was she referring to my Nen? I mean, that would explain the sudden drainage I felt.
[Yes, however, the amount of energy surrounding the new user's body has begun to decrease. The analysis also shows that the wounds on the body of the new user have begun to heal slowly due to this unknown energy]
"As much as I hate to interrupt their conversation, I must remind you that there is a damn giant monster that is trying to break that shield, and could you stop absorbing my Nen? At this rate I will die of exhaustion." That was true, I may not have noticed it at first, but my Nen is being drained constantly, not in a large amount, but if this continues it will be a matter of time before I run out of anything.
I didn't wait for an answer and I took the rat in my hands, I got up and ran as fast as I could to get away from the monster, seconds later I heard a roar behind me next to the unmistakable sound of the monster's heavy jumps behind me.
I carried the rat in front of my face and shouted, "You said I could defeat that thing! Tell me how!"
The rat was surprised for a moment, but quickly recovered. "You have to use Raising Heart, the stone in your hand, to seal the Jewel Seed." Yes, I already knew that, but as hell I do! "But I don't think you're able to do it without first damaging it ... so, you'll have to fight."
Keep silent and I keep looking at the rat in my hand, I turned my gaze back to see the huge hairy monster, who easily jumped through nearby houses and the street and how it destroyed everything in its path with the force of its jumps and its huge weight.
"... I don't like that idea too much."
"When you damage it enough you will have to approach and use Raising Heart to seal it, all you have to do is give the order and provide the necessary mana for Raising Heart to seal the Jewel Seed ... but I'm not sure how you will achieve that."
[The new user does not have the necessary mana to cast high-level offensive spells] Raising Heart decided to join the conversation. [Even using the unknown energy as a replacement, it is unlikely that the creature created by the Jewel Seed will be defeated by spells with low offensive power]
"We can't, I don't know, just hide and wait for him to leave?"
"We could do it, but then the Jewel Seed would be free to cause damage to the city when the barrier can no longer be maintained."
In short, I hit that thing or the city is attacked and innocent people get hurt ... what a wonderful night.
"Can physical damage work?" I ask, I don't remember that someone in the series hit a Jewel Seed until it weakened, it was always with magic rays, but it could work.
[Affirmative, but I doubt that the new user has the necessary strength to-]
I stopped listening to Raising Heart when she gave me the confirmation, I stopped my career and turned around, I had managed to get away enough from the monster to take a few seconds to breathe. I ignored the alarmed screams of Rat-boy and concentrated on my Nen.
Intensification will not work, I doubt that I will have the strength to hit that thing to death, of course, I will get a decent increase in power, but I doubt it will be enough.
I still can not use Transmutacion correctly, Materalization is also out of the question, I have not practiced much with Emission, but I do not have enough Aura to allow me to waste it in attacks that may not work. Maybe if I had enough time to use Ren I could do it.
What only leaves me with one option, is very dangerous and if I receive a direct hit from that monster I am pretty sure that I will die.
But I have no other option.
[The unknown energy around the new user's body has almost completely disappeared]
I took a deep breath and concentrated, sending all the available aura to my right hand.
[A large amount of unknown energy is accumulating in the new user's right hand]
"What are you doing?!"
I ignored Rat-boy, and kept sending my right hand aura, when I felt he was enough I closed it in a fist and prepared myself.
Just in time to see the monster take a powerful leap and come straight to me.
The time seemed to pass in slow motion, the frightened screams of Rat-Boy sounded distant, I saw how a green tanslucent barrier appeared a few centimeters in front of me, fortunately the aura in my right hand did not diminish even a little, probably Raising Heart is using her own mana, if any, to create the barrier.
The monster hit the barrier, destroying it almost instantly, however its speed slowed down enough to give me time to move, I could feel the blood rushing through my veins and my heart beating furiously in my chest. Even watching everything in slow motion, I jump slightly to the right, avoiding the body of the monster that is passing in front of me by centimeters.
I raised my fist and carried it back.
Then I hit.
Holy shit, this chapter takes too long to leave, hopefully the next one will take less months.
Now I need to write that Alchemist Code fanfic before I forget it.
I will try to correct several spelling and gender errors in the other chapters over the course of the week.
Nothing more to say: My main language is not English, so this story will contain spelling errors, gender and out of time. Read it at your own risk.

-----------------
Just to clarify, Yuudai will not be a replacement for Nanoha, he will only be taking this job for ... 3 days? probably. You can look at it like a Yuuno 2.0, only with Nen and very little magic.Holy shit, this chapter takes too long to leave, hopefully the next one will take less months.
Now I need to write that Alchemist Code fanfic before I forget it.
