It was situations like this that reminded me that no matter how similar the worlds are in their culture and technology, there were still great differences between the current world I was at and the original world I was from.
I have been in this world for roughly six months now, and I have been trying to stay incognito ever since. Not easy when you have red hair and towering over most of your fellow counterparts in the area, but at least it was better than having my white hair and tanned skin. At the very least, I was thankful that I landed back in Japan with all of its technological comforts, and apparently a world where the technology was more advanced than my home world. But as I said, there were some major differences from my world.
The major offenders include my non-existence here, no Fuyuki City, no other Emiyas or Tohsakas or Matous, and to my total astonishment, the distinct lack of the Association here or the Clock Tower.
I mean, if we were to take the first few pointers together, this would be the third or fourth world I teleported to where none of those exist. But the fact that no magical association existed here was a little too unusual; every world should have a magical group, what with the air being pumped full of Prana. I should know this because when I tried to use a skill to extract Prana from the air, I was astonished by the sheer magnitude that came inside me. I nearly passed out from the sheer quantity and had to quickly create a few swords to get rid of the excess coming through me. That had to mean wherever I had arrived at, the Age of Gods was still prevalent somehow.
It was also by accident that I realized that my weapons did not disappear for an extended period of time, and only do so when I gave the mental order to do so. That would mean that Gaia's effect was either relatively weak, or it did not exist at all.
But I am digressing, so I shall get back to where I was.
I had spent the first few weeks stuck in the hospital recuperating from my fight with Julius, getting absolutely bored out of my mind doing nothing. As much as I was tempted to use Avalon to speed up the process, I had to restrict its healing properties to avoid having to answer questions about why my wounds seemingly disappear after a few hours, which I did not need since I had to deal with the police who got called in a couple of days after my entry.
It was a little difficult thinking of an excuse as to why I was dressed in loose and bloodied clothes, and even more difficult to explain the multiple scars and wounds on my body, and especially the wound above my heart that was still looking as fresh as when I first got it courtesy of Lancer. I would have tried to use a memory alteration spell on them, but my proficiency in them was still not the best, and I did not want to accidentally remove too much memory.
Thankfully I did not spend all that time at the Association with Rin and Luvia without knowing the art of deception that was prevalent in the magus community.
So with a bit of subtle suggestion, combined with the Japanese awareness of crime culture, and the police were given the impression that I was an abused child who ran away from his kidnappers, with the resulting trauma from my wounds and blood loss leading to my amnesia. Evidently I may have done it a little too well, as the police seemed to have become extremely motivated to find my supposed kidnappers and in the ensuing months, experienced a success rate of over 90 percent in apprehending abusive parents and criminals dabbling in child trafficking.
It also brought about the unintentional reduction of my medical bill when it came time for me to leave the hospital. I was prepared to pay the full amount, but the hospital staff were adamant that I only needed to pay half of my bill, then when I was about to do that, the police officers involved came along and paid half of that amount, so I only had to repay the remainder in the end. That said, I still had quite a substantial amount to pay off, so I had to work two part time jobs to pay it all off. I also worked my hardest to pay off the police and the staff; it may have been their intentions to help me, but I could not let that be on my conscious.
With all that said and done, I was currently in the body of a teenager and in the view of the social system, someone who should be in school. And considering that I do not have enough credentials to suggest otherwise and I could not create too much of a ruckus, I had no choice but to go along with their decision. At least until the Kaledo-Amulet was fully fixed and recharged and I can find a way out of my current predicament.
So roughly 2 to 3 months after my arrival into this world, I got transferred to what seemed to be the most prestigious campus in the area, with a somewhat forbidding name. 'Kuoh Academy.' If I did not know any better, I would say that a demon was involved in the naming.
During my time here, I have worked my ass off to pay off my medical debt while feverishly repairing the Kaledo-Amulet with whatever materials I could get my hands on. It was not going very well considering not much of the materials used to create the amulet were normal to begin with. Whatever materials I was going to use would have to be subpar, not to mention the capacity that it can store would be limited to one trip back home.
It was also during this period that I experienced a life that had no Dead Apostles trying to bite my neck, no mad mages trying to perform heinous experiments, no undead infestation that needed damage control, or any Executors or Enforcers trying to take my head. It was actually a very relaxing vacation of sorts.
It was also a little uneasy and somewhat lackluster experience for me to be in.
Back in my home world, my job scope made me have to travel the world taking down Sealing Designations and Dead Apostles on a daily basis, to the point where I would be lucky to have a week's worth of break. Rin at one time went to drag me on a month long trip to recuperate after seeing how messed-up my biological clock became. It later became two when Luvia, Sakura and a few others tagged along to help her keep me in one area.
The lack of action also seemed to be slightly mocking to me, despite how well the situation was for me. I had my fair share of assassins and mad magus trying to take my head due to my Sealing Designation Status, to the extent that I became a little used to their methods and started different strategies to stop them, so not being attacked whatsoever was somewhat alarming.
But I guess that was the issue with me being a 'Sword'; swords or blades, no matter how one tries to utilize them, could only be used on the battlefield. And this peaceful world probably does not need a sword of blood in its midst.
So with that in mind and a body of a sixteen-year old teenager, I spent my life handling my homework, fixing the amulet, helping the needy, doing some menial jobs on the side, perform some vigilante work and dealing with high-school drama.
"KYYAAAA! Those three again!" "Get Them!"
… And the occasional 'Perverted Trio getting chased by the kendo club after being caught peeping into the changing room.' Yeah, that was the story of my current life.
