Versatile: Alternate World

The enrollment in our school just started during the time when I am still at the Aquagius. Of course, I am free to not attend this school year but I still wanted to finish my studies. Of course, I can easily relax since I already memorized and learned most of the things that are going to be covered in this school year. I can even sleep in class and still get myself to ace the exams. I am not bragging, this is just how it is especially if you have already experienced everything.

After the reminder of Janus to me to sign up for the enrollment, I remembered that this school year would be the most chaotic time of the year due to some incidents that occurred. It's not particularly bad in terms of my own experience but there are people who would be suffering from this school year and Janus would be injured in the process.

I already inquired how he is holding up with the mana training and although he has progressed for quite a bit, it doesn't mean he is strong enough. He still hasn't learned anything that can help defend himself. Still, I need to take note that there are some things that I will have to interfere in which I didn't have a chance to do in the past timeline. I know I will be changing lots of things right now but that doesn't matter anymore. I just needed to improvise, adapt and overcome all of the new things that will happen in consequence of my actions.

...

The next day, I went out for the first time after my seclusion in playing. I also plan to get a haircut since my hair is getting fairly long and the bangs are fairly annoying in the face too.

I didn't use the car and used my motorcycle instead. The school might be far but using a car just to reach it is like saying I am flexing it. I might have used the car if Janus and Riko haven't done their enrollment but they are already done with theirs so I don't need to carry a bigger vehicle to go. After wearing my casual clothes, I plugged in my headphones to my ears and went to the school with my ride.

It took around 15 minutes before I arrived at the campus. The school grounds are already full of students filing up their enrollment forms. If only they have an online enrollment then I don't have to go through this every time I wanted to enroll for the next semester.

Since I already know the protocol and procedure, the process was over in just a moment. Who would have thought that it would be this easy? I think I had a hard time in the past timeline enrolling here and was stuck until the afternoon.

With the enrollment done for the day, I was about to leave when someone called me.

"Hey, Manato!"

Just from hearing the voice, I can immediately tell it is another motherf*cker which is Teruyama, the guy who tried to invite me in in his guild by offering to use a free Reality Verse Cabin. I can also tell that he is with his friends so I didn't even respond to him. I don't want to associate with them so I immediately went off and started walking, pretending to not hear his calls.

"Oy! Manato! I know you can hear me! You are not deaf!"

I did not turn around to face him. It was a waste of time and just continued to walk faster.

But this bastard was actually persistent. And what annoyed the sh*t out of me is that he pulled off my headphones when one of my favorite songs just started playing 

"Hey, You should stop listening to your crappy songs while someone is-" he didn't even get to say anything when my right hand wrapped around his neck tightly.

"You dare pull off the headphones in my ears? You unrespectful bastard!"

"UGH! Bro... I can't... breathe..."

That's when I realized that I gripped his neck hard. It's a shame I didn't even go all out. Dammit.

I released him from my grip and he started coughing hard. His lackeys immediately started helping him. Then a girl appeared and tried to slap me but as I always say, these kinds of actions are too predictable to me and even if I close my eyes, I can easily block them.

"E-eek?! What the-"

"If you want to slap me for no reason, be sure that the one you wanted to slap wouldn't slap you back."

I looked at the girl who was trying to slap me and I was right in my hunch. This girl is none other than Ayane Mikojin You can say she is a rich brat of a girl who splurges her money whenever she wanted to. She is the girlfriend of Teruyama due to the fact that her family and Teruyama's family are both partners in business and this two are childhood friends. They would be the ideal couple for this school if not for their bad behavior.

"Y-you! Release you filthy-ack!" my grip in her hands started to squeeze harder, causing her to feel the pain.

"And who are you for me to threaten me? I didn't do anything to you and you would suddenly try to slap me, isn't that unreasonable?"

"Manato! Stop it! I was just calling you! Why the heck would you not even respond?"

"Because I didn't want to? Is there any reason why would I respond?"

"What did you just say, you pipsqueak?! Can't you see Teru is talking to you politely?!" he was about to attack me when I tighten the grip more on Ayane's hands.

"Aaaahh! It h-hurts..."

"If you try to attack, the arm of this girl will surely be broken. Whatever you are planning to do, be sure to do it quickly or this girl will go to the hospital.

"F*CK! Alright! Don, stop. Manato, let her go now."

"Give back my headphones."

Teruyama handed me my headphones while I let Ayane go after I received the headphones.

"If the reason you keep calling me is to recruit me in playing Alternate World, then don't bother. I am not interested in your offer. So if you have no more business with me, then go and scram, you are ruining my day."

Teruyama has no choice but to back off and leave. Thankfully, not so many have seen the situation so no one flocked around as everyone is busy with the enrollment that they don't even bother what is happening unless something really big has occurred.

I know Ayane's personality and her parents will not just take this lightly especially since their daughter has been hurt in the process. Of course, I didn't care. The last thing I would worry about is them as they are not even worth my time to consider my attention. If things get real serious, I can tell they will hire goons to attack me or if they want me down, maybe assassins.

"Damn, they are all so stressful to handle..."

...

After the small incident, I went to the usual hair salon that knows how to cut my hair and groom it properly. It only took a few minutes before the trimming on my hair is done. I happily handed them a big amount of tip due to how they keep my hair quite cool and clean with professionalism.

After my hair is done, I went to the place where I parked my motorcycle. However, the first thing I have seen is the broken look of my vehicle and beloved motorcycle that I used back when I was delivering. Not only does it look like it was scrapped, but it also looks like it has been thrashed so hard that it won't run after taking quite a beating.

The ones responsible are a few biker gangs that thrashed it with their pipes and baseball bats. People didn't want to get involved as these guys seem scary and from the looks of it, they seemed to have paid the patrol guards to not interfere seeing that they are not even responding even if some violence is happening. Money is quite scary indeed if used in this matter. I am so pissed that I grinned maniacally at them.

"Are you the guys who started breaking my bud?"

The one with mohawk hair turned to look at me and grinned. "Oh? So you must be the owner of this junk? Ah sorry, it seems like it was your unlucky day. You can say that someone wanted it down."

"Is that so? Then that means there is no need for some talks."

Without a warning, I punched the mohawk guy straight to his face in full power. The result? He was sent flying in a distance before landing on the wall with a small crater.

"So, who wants to become similar to the state of my motorcycle? "
