"Schools not as bad as people make it out to be, especially nowadays."
That''s something my teacher said to me in class this morning, It was one of those hard days to wake up—a Monday— which made me despair the upcoming week. At least for the other days you can make up an excuse for yourself to push through and get up in the morning. Like Wednesday being halfway through the week so you can pull through, or Friday being the final day of the week so "just a bit longer!" Monday however you have 5 days, including Monday, that you have to make it through. Teachers also decide to give you new topics to study for even though you just got back from a short break. Actually, pausing, let me rant about that short break, so your supposed to tell me that Monday and Tuesday are the same length as Saturday and Sunday? Then why the hell are those two days so short! It doesn''t make sense!
Anyways going back on topic— School being not that bad is being very generous, and I mean very. We learn outdated topics that can''t even apply to our real world jobs in the future, Like why am i learning about Trig Ratio''s when I should be learning about—I dunno— How to live as an adult?? You''re teaching me junk then are surprised when I end up in junk. The area where you live is also a factor on whether you like school or not. Most in the area I live have wannabe thugs or school threats. Like if my week couldn''t get worse I now have a shooting threat lingering in my mind...
I sat in my chair at the time looking at the monitor playing a video describing the secret''s of "speed-running" a certain racing game. It was around an hour long and the creator wasn''t too big, which gave the video an almost calming presence. However the video wasn''t what I was thinking about, I was despairingly zoning out awaiting the noise of my alarm going off at 6 am. The rushing of trying to get through work before each class ended so you didn''t have to do anything whilst home.
"Man I don''t wanna go to school tomorrow..." I never really spoke my thoughts out loud, unless I really meant something that is. I decided to try to take my mind off school by going on to a totally legal website to read some manga. Oh! "I was a slave that reincarnated into a level 99 champion" updated! I swear I thought it got axed...
The manga''s synopsis is about Yu Yamato who gets- Second thought nobody really cares. Turn your brain off a read that''s that right...?
A question that always plagued me was if magictruly existed or not. I mean at face value, no, but what if there was some magical anime girl that upheld the secret magic society by using her spells. Or or what if Magic does exist and that everytime someone catches wind of it their memory is erased! If there''s even the slightest possibility of it existingIwant to be able to use it. It doesn''t even have to be exactly magic it could be something like esper abilities or something else that''s supernatural. Sometimes I''d see a weird looking stick or leaf on the ground and touch it, hoping it''s a random artifact some witch dropped that''ll be able to give me abilities.
Great, I got lost in thought again... Second thought I don''t think I''ll be reading this manga today. Instead I decided to jump onto my bed and stare at the ceiling. I still had the clothes on I wore to school and didn''t feel like changing out of. I rolled around my bed for a bit thinking of something to do, I couldn''t waste the post-school break just looking at nothing.
...
If I can''t be able to use any cool spells atleastmake me Japanese... Like everything''s so cool over there rather in bland America. Now I wasn''t fully glorifying Japan—I mean I know it can get pretty rough over there but they get to wear uniforms and get anime and manga early! early damnit!!
...
I just decided to sleep early instead.
There''s this thing I usually do—where I pray tosomegod that I get "transported into another world!" or "summoned as a hero!" knowing all too well I''m gonna wake up to that stupid you know what. But this time, this night when I decided to do it I really wanted to put my all in, If I pleaded and prayed to some unknown god that I wanted to be in a different—fantasy world, just maybe they would listen. I knew it was selfish seeming that others in worse situations would need that to happen to them more than me but I still just hoped for the sliver of a chance that someone would respond.
I then fell on my pillow closing my eyes, wondering what test I would have to do at 7 in the morning.

..ngh...
I don''t remember changing my alarm to a generic sounding bird...
The back of my head was kind of cold, actually most of my body was cold, however not freezing. I could feel tiny pebbles poking the skin of my arms and some of my lower legs. The most apparent thing my senses picked up on was the egregious stench coming from a bit behind me. My eyes burst open and I got up onto my rear, realizing I wasn''t in my room. The first thing I noticed was that I awoke in a chilly alleyway, It was your average alleyway you would see in any city anywhere. The almost visible stench was coming from a garbage behind me, makes sense. I kind of stared around for a bit, drowsy from my sleep until it finally clicked.
...
...
"ISEEEKAAAIIIIIII" I screamed from my lungs. Got up on my feet and dashed out of the alleyway and ran into the sidewalk. Before I could see anything I was blinded by the sunlight, tilting my head down and letting my eyes adjust for a bit, I looked back up to see....
You''re average city.
...?
Actually, before I started ranting— which I''ve been doing a lot recently— I decided to take a step back and look atmyself before doing anything. Looking down I saw strands of blackish hair with a silver tint curving down from my shoulders to my chest. And- a skirt!?!?
The skirt was like a white uniform from what I could tell by just looking down, and I had brown dress shoes on with scrunched up fluffy socks.
"Don''t tell me...."
I ran to the nearest shop that had a glass window showcasing clothes. Although I wasn''t looking at the clothes. I was looking at the girl with black hair and eyes, both having a silverish grey tint to it, An almost fully white female student uniform with 3 deep blue stripes going around the end of the skirt. The as mentioned scrunched up fluffy socks, with brown dress shoes. The girls silky hair curved and twisted in many directions, not nappy or dirty but rather beautiful and alluring.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
Incase you couldn''t tell the girl was me.
"What the hell!?!?!!!!"
I felt my knees trembling about to give out, and sweat miraculously forming on my back and thighs. My eyes starting to glint and tear up and my palms becoming moist.
...
To take a breather I decided to walk around, though with little help due to so many thoughts ramming into my brain at the same time.
I knew I was in a different world, I knew I got put into a different body and Iknewthat something was seriously wrong. The supernatural doesn''t exist so how did I exactly end up in... this situation.... Maybe it was some sort of hyper-realistic dream? or someone stuck a new virtual reality headset onto me in my sleep that''s able to feel physical touch.
Why was I questioning it though? This was want I wanted, so even if it''s a weird dream I should just live it while it last right?
After a bit longer of walking around aimlessly I decided to use my head a bit. The city didn''t look like anything American, from all the anime I''ve watched it looks like Japan I guess. Speaking of anime, everyone around me actuallylookedlike they were from an anime! I mean it was like I was living in one..!
Despite my worrying I was still ecstatic, which made my stomach go into a nuclear stew of emotions. Something I also noticed is that People were staring at me, not in any way that felt hostile or weird, more like curious. I wondered what that was about. Actually, speaking of the people around me they had all sorts of hair colors—most black, brown or grey however some with a deep red color or orangish brown hair color with yellow eyes.... yellow! I wasactuallyin some sort of anime... It felt so surreal.
But besides my surroundings I still had questions, Why was I in this girls body, and was I brought here for a reason? Where do I even begin to think about going.. Wait, I know where to go!
In most otherworldly transportation media the protag usually finds something likethe guild hallfirst right? Even though this is a modern city I''m sure there''s something like that. There''s no way I''m just in a regular world...
...
Nope can''t do that.. What if some weirdo girl walks up to you and starts spouting about a guild hall... Oh that''s right!
I reached into my pockets and pulled out a smartphone, turned it on to which I found my name, school, and address!!
Is what I would havelikedto say if it wasn''t for the fact that the phone wasdead.
I decided to sit at a bench until I could come up with another silly idea. The bench was in between two restaurants and looked to be in some miniature park area. It was gorgeous to put it lightly, I sat down at the bench and felt the sun beam through the tree and hit some areas of my body, I decided to close my eyes to calm my mood. But I felt that I got some more stares, however they were different from before. Ah, the posture. I fixed up my sitting posture to fit to one of a school girls, I think.
Was I truly in a different world...? The question kept repeating over and over in my head, though more calmly now.
"Uhm excuse me miss." An old man with a bartenders uniform came up to me and gently asked. He''s probably from one of the restaurants next to this mini park.
"Oh yea—yes.Yes.?"
"I couldn''t help but to notice your A.O.P uniform, and was curious... Shouldn''t you be in classes right about now...?"
''A.O.P'' Is that the school I go to? Alright, Leo, Just play it cool.
"O-Oh... Uh...ah... that''s r-right! classes... How could I forget thanks for reminding me!"
Perfect... now I scurry off!!!
...
...
"Uhm excuse me sir, which way is ''A.O.P''?"

So despite getting directions by the blessed old man, I still feel like I''m lost. I asked for the directions in lefts, rights, and straights but I can just feel a dead end coming up soon. To my surprise though, I turned the corner from a set of buildings and saw a luxurious school. Actually calling it a school felt like an insult, it was more like a college? no that also feels like I''m disrespecting it.... Harvard! there we go, It looked to be the size of Harvard University— Not that I know what Harvard even looks like. The school sported a deep silver steel as it''s main material with some giant windows around a selection of areas on the building. Now, I had no idea what time it was so I decided to hurry and run to the front gates. Which felt like it took forever running from the city to the school.
The front gates were closed shut, the weird thing is they we''re normal giant gates you would see at a large house. I feel like a prestigious school like this would have a better security system. Disregarding the schools security, The fact that the gates were closed meant I was late, but there was nothing I could do about time. So I opened the gates and decided to walk it. I don''t know why I just know thought this was a bad idea, what if the body I''m in is actually really popular and acts completely different then I''m about too? or if I''m actually a jackass who makes fun of people.
Damnit Leo just walk in!
I got to the front of the building and the main doors were locked, and it seemed there was a keypad to the right of the door. Does the average student have keycards for opening doors? or is it only for faculty/staff?
I guess I''m out of luck then.... Do i just stand here until classes are over....
"Ahem." A lady with a white uniform walked up to me, not the same as mine. It was more like a military uniform—German, A white German officer uniform with a blue tie and a couple of badges and deep blue to black boots. The lady herself possessed White hair with icy blue eyes and thin ovular glasses. Her hair was tied into a neat bun at the back of her head. She looked around 30, at max-
"Ahem!"
"Eep!" woah, was that voice me...?
"Who are you?! state your name!? and A.P.S Codenamenow!"
I blinked not knowing what to do, clearly this was as far I was gonna get into my run.... only around 40 minutes...
"Forget it come with me, you''re in trouble young lady." The women stated sternly, even if I did have the things she asked for I doubt I would even get to respond in time.
"o-okay..."
First Day of this world and I don''t even know what to do, I managed to get some directions but that''s it.... I still have so many questions though. Why was I brought here? Why am I in this body? What is this world...?
