The next few months [Name] had made no process with the completion of this arc, and he was crushed. All this hard work and torture that he had gone through, were fleeting away. The percentage had gone down to 34% and [Name] had no idea why it was going down; he knew that there seemed to be no more development and everything was just becoming stagnant.

'Failure to complete world... transition starting-'
'Wait! No! Please give me more-'
'Changing worlds...'
The world turned white and [Name] was transported into what looked like a high school classroom and a teacher was looming over him.
'Please choose a name for this world.'
'Ummm... [Name] [Last Name].'
'Implementing changes... 67%... 100%.'
The room came into focus and [Name] could see that this room was empty, turning around and taking in the scene, he found that he was in an English room as the walls were decorated with various texts from old writers, such as Jane Austen and Leo Tolstoy.
[Name] heard someone clearing their throat, making him flinch. Looking up he saw the teacher glaring at him.
"Mr [Last Name], do you understand that putting slime in a fellow students bag is inappropriate?"
[Name] looked down, "Yes, I understand sir."
The teacher was startled, [Name] [Last Name] was a delinquent and quite a prominent scoundrel on the school grounds. She scowled at him, "You're dismissed. Do not be late for your next class."
[Name] looked around and grabbed his bag and walked out of the classroom silently, he adjusted his uniform, pulling his sleeves down and buttoning up his shirt.
'Lucian, may I have the information I need?'
'Yes, sir. Transferring information... Loading... Transfer complete.'
[Name] braced himself for the headache.
[Name] closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, welcoming the coldness as he saw that this time he is a side character in the plot. The person he was taking the place of, was a high school punk, the boy's name was Kiyoshi Ryo. Living in an abusive household and was saved by the male lead, Tamaki Shoujo, who was the areas most influential tormentor for a long time until he met the female lead, Kumiko Taki, who was the schools quietest girl, plain and simple, always fading into the background at any social event, and only then did he start curbing his gang activities. Stopping his bullying antics. As a consequence, this led to Kiyoshi feeling bitter that his best friend and brother-figure was taken away by such a typical girl. So he started picking on the girl until Tamaki found out and beat Kiyoshi, putting the latter into hospital. There was also a few other competitors one of them being Kiyoshi's younger brother, Akimitsu Ryo, and another from a rival school named Aoi Asuka.
Opening his eyes, [Name] stumbled forward. Nothing good ever comes from getting in between the main couple, he thought. [Eye Colour] eyes scanned the hallway, trying to find the toilets, eyes lighting up at seeing the signs and dashed into them. Fortunately, there was no one in the toilets but himself; [Name] checked himself in the mirror.
'What time does lunch end?'
'It ends at 14:15, it is currently 13:20.'
He still had his body, waiting for a moment he saw that his demon form was still present. [Name] sighed relief before talking to Lucian again.
'Lucian, can you show me was Tamaki and Kumiko look like?'
Two pictures popped up into his vision, a cute girl with long hair and big blue eyes that were framed with long thick lashes, and the vibe she gave off was one of innocence and frailty. Looking at the picture of Tamaki gave off the opposite vibes, a very defined face, an intense pair of eyes and a small tattoo of an eye on his left wrist, muscular and 189cm tall; Kumiko was 167cm tall.
[Name] himself was 190cm, he whooped to himself, glad that he was still taller than most. He followed the signs to the canteen, but just as he was about to go in, he saw a gaggle of girls standing around a single girl punching and kicking her. Walking over silently he pushed the girls out of the way and helped the girl up, ignoring the protests of the other girls.
"Are you alright?"
The girl kept her eyes on the ground, "Yeah, I am alright."
[Name] sighed, "Alright, let's take you to the infirmary, and I can patch you up."
"Th-thank you, umm..."
"It's [Name] [Last Name], you?"
"Ayano Taki."
[Name]'s head snapped towards the girl, "You Kumiko's sister? Does she know you're being bullied?"
"Yes, she does," the girl whispered.
"Excuse me?"
"..."
"Well, from now on, we're going to be best friends," [Name] gently patted Ayano's head, "I will always do my best to protect you."
"Thank you."
[Name] helped her onto one of the beds and the nurse passed him the first aid box and he got to disinfecting her wounds.
Ayano was really affected by his actions, she had overheard so many rumours surrounding him, it talked of how he was a cold person that held no good-will in any way, they said that he had got into multiple fights and had no qualms about getting his hands stained when he wanted something. But now looking at the boy who was gently cleaning her wounds, touches so gentle, and [Eye Colour] eyes that held so much emotion. Ayano would not believe any of the rumours that she was told.
Ayano's eyes widened when she felt [Name]'s hand considerately tilting her head to the side, dabbing the cotton softly onto the nasty bruise located under her right eye. She was surprised by how gentle his hands were, they were slightly rough, but they were not uncomfortable or too calloused. She blushed slightly when she looked into [Eye Colour] eyes, they seemed to hold so much warmth and clear [Skin Colour] skin.
"There, all done. Let me bring you to your next lesson, we have time. It's only 13:45, we can hang out in your room."
"A-alright. Thank you, [Name]-sama."
"No need for that, [Name]-kun is fine."
"Okay."
The two chattered about random things on the way to Ayano's homeroom, [Name] put his arm around her shoulders. Just before they were about to enter the room, a voice called out.
"[Name]!"
He turned around and sees Tamaki, his gaze grew cold.
"What is it Tamaki-sama?"
Tamaki was caught off guard with the change of tone, he looked to the girl that was slightly cowering behind his long time friend.
"What's with you today?" Tamaki leered at the girl, "Is she your new plaything?"
"..."
Tamaki looked back at [Name] when he received no response, he saw that [Name] was glaring at him with a small frown on his face.
Tamaki rubbed the back of his neck, "You-"
"I thought you would be with Kumiko-san. Why don't you go and hang out with her?"
"I just wanted to check on my best friend! Is there anything wrong with that?"
"No. There is nothing wrong with that, but you had already ditched me many times to hang out with her and now all of a sudden you come back?"
"It wasn't even that long, we were just talking-"
"Talking does not involve sticking tongues down each other's throat Tamaki-sama."
"..."
"If you have nothing to say, excuse us please."
With that, the two turned and walked into Ayano's homeroom. Tamaki stared at the place where [Name] and the girl had just been standing. He huffed and walked away, ignoring the painful tug of his heart.
