The students of Trinity Comprehensive Academy, and furthermore, the students of the world view called 'Kibotos,' are all special.
What makes them so special is that they are strong in and of themselves.
They don't even get a scratch from being hit by a bullet, and even if a bomb explodes right next to them, they might faint for a moment but won't die.
Even if they are directly hit by an anti-aircraft gun capable of shooting down a plane the size of a house, they walk out on their own two feet after a short hospital stay.
That's why the scale of incidents that occur every day is extraordinary.
The students drive tanks while patrolling the school grounds. Even if there's a gunfight in the alley now and then, they just go to school thinking, "Looks like the leadership team is late today."
Are they canceling school because kids are playing with water guns in front of their house? Even if they have to go around a long way to avoid getting their clothes wet, they still have to go to school.
That's the feeling.
So, even if a girl suddenly slaps you in the middle of the street or kicks a puddle of water to vent her anger,
The students of Trinity were not particularly surprised.
On the contrary, some stopped and enjoyed the unexpected change that interrupted their boring lives.
"Did you fail your test?"
"Maybe you got into a fight with a friend."
"Huh? I think I've seen that person somewhere?"
"Maybe? He looks familiar..."
Of course, Trinity was a comprehensive school attended by upper-class students, so no one would think, "I suddenly became a character in a game while walking down the street."
Meanwhile, the girl smiled while touching her tingling cheek. It was more out of bewilderment than happiness.
She had never been slapped in her life, but if it was a real dream, it would hurt this much, and she wouldn't wake up.
"Okay, it's not a dream."
The possibility of a friend's prank... I don't have any friends, so I'll pass.
Then a hidden camera? Common sense tells me that can't happen.
No matter what hypothesis I come up with, all but one are realistically impossible.
"This is crazy..."
Yes, that was the only conclusion I could come to.
I was walking down the street, thrown into the world of Kibotos, and possessed by Mika Misono of Trinity Academy!
In an instant, the six principles of explaining the situation—who, when, where, what, how—were all explained.
As a citizen of Korea with manners (or someone who received spoon-fed education), you'd naturally wonder about the remaining one: why.
However, I couldn't figure that out.
I didn't meet God in my dream and make a wish, nor was I hit by an oncoming truck.
I didn't even post a single comment on an internet community!
I was just a regular, ordinary user of Blue Archive, a poor teacher who only wanted 1,200 bluestones.
So why was I possessed by Mika Misono of all people?
No, it's good, but it was too sudden!
At least give me a hint. Isn't it the rule to fill out a survey on your phone and send it?
It seems the trend of MZ game companies these days is very different from what I remember.
"Whew..."
As I was walking down the street, thoughts swirling in my head, I suddenly felt like there weren't many students.
The sun was high in the sky, and it seemed like lunchtime was about to end or just beginning.
The kids I had been talking to earlier had already disappeared.
In any case, the street was wide, and there weren't many people.
I thought it was fortunate I hadn't run into anyone who knew Mika.
Right now, I don't know the way, I don't recognize faces, and I don't even know the password to my phone in my pocket!
"1234? No. 1111? 0000? What the hell, when is her birthday?"
Oh, it's locked. I have to wait another 5 minutes.
"Eek...!"
My cheek suddenly started to hurt, and I unconsciously put my palm on it.
I could feel the warmth, so I knew it was red.
I've never slapped someone before, and I've only seen it in dramas, so I tried it, but I didn't know it would hurt this much.
And then I thought—did I see a star for a moment?
Actually, I didn't hit it that hard.
I just waved my hand as if clapping. Since I was hitting myself, I hesitated.
But even so, it was like this.
This small, round hand was much faster and sharper than I thought.
After realizing that, I started to feel a little awkward about myself.
From the slightly lowered field of vision to the limbs slightly misaligned with my intentions, to the weight I felt on my chest.
I even felt a faint discomfort from a strange sensation spreading from an organ that didn't exist before.
"Tsk."
What can I do? I have to get used to it.
There's not much I can do right now.
I didn't know what to do, but I kept walking forward, forward.
When my thoughts were complicated, I used to just walk wherever my mind took me.
When I did that, the thread-like thoughts would float around, and before I knew it, the knots in my head would come undone.
This time was similar.
While walking, various thoughts came and went repeatedly, but they weren't much help.
However, with each step I took, my head that was about to explode calmed down a little.
Then suddenly, a path flashed before my eyes.
I became Mika Misono, a student, and students usually receive help from their teachers.
And that teacher—the main character of this game, the walking cheat key!
I had to go to that person.
And didn't you mention in passing that he was from Earth? He's the perfect person for the situation right now!
Whether I tell the truth or ask him indirectly, if I speak roughly, I'll probably get an answer.
He's like Doraemon.
If that doesn't work out, I can just use Arona or Prana, the super high-performance AIs that the teacher carries around.
But I wonder if Prana is there?
The current time zone has reached the end of the final chapter, right?
"Oh, I don't know. If I go, I'll figure it out somehow."
With that slightly irresponsible feeling, I headed to the chalet where the teacher would be.
To be exact, I was going to go. That is, until someone lightly tapped my back.
"I thought you were busy today."
"Huh?"
It was a familiar face, although it was my first time seeing it up close.
"Are you just spacing out here?"
I couldn't take my eyes off her, who was playfully glancing at me with a faint smile.
Kirifuji Nagisa was in front of me.
"Ah, I—."
"Follow me."
Before I could say anything, her fingers slowly grabbed my wrist.
I was dumbfounded by her weak hands that would have fallen away if I had twisted my body even slightly, so I had no choice but to follow her without resistance.
