My name is Minase Riku.
At a glance, I'm just an ordinary high school student. Average grades, average build, average social life. In fact, if you asked anyone, they'd probably say I'm the easiest person to forget in class.
But there's one thing that makes me different—I can change reality.
Yeah, it sounds ridiculous, like something straight out of a fantasy anime plot. But it's real. Ever since I was little, I noticed that whenever I wished for something strongly enough, somehow it would just happen. At first, I thought it was pure coincidence. Want the rain to stop? Five minutes later, the sky clears up. Want my dad to buy me a new toy? Suddenly, the store runs a discount that makes it affordable for him.
Over time, I realized it wasn't the world coincidentally granting my wishes.
I was the cause.
Still, I never dared to tell anyone. How could I? Imagine me saying, "Hey, I can change reality just by thinking about it." Everyone would definitely think I'd lost my mind. So I chose to keep it a secret. All I wanted was to live peacefully as an ordinary high schooler.
Or at least, I tried.
. . . . . .
The school building stood tall and solid, its iron gates wide open. Cherry blossom trees lined the front yard, their petals drifting down, carried away by the spring breeze.
Riku paused for a moment at the gate, taking in the sight. The wind blew harder, sending the blossoms swirling gracefully around him, as if it were the opening scene of a teenage drama.
"So cliché," he muttered under his breath, though no one could hear.
He stepped inside, hoping his first day would pass quietly.
.....
Class 1-F buzzed with the noisy chatter of new students. Some sat in groups, others were glued to their phone screens. Riku took a seat by the window in the corner—the classic spot for an anime protagonist. He gazed outside, watching the sakura petals still drifting in the air.
"Alright… starting today, I'll live a normal high school life. No drama, no weirdness, no reason to use my powers."
But the world is never that simple.

Creak. Creak.
The sound of heels echoed closer. The once noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.
A woman in a neat jacket stepped in. Her sharp features carried the weary aura of a teacher long accustomed to troublesome students.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Hiratsuka Shizuka. I'll be your homeroom teacher for Class 1-F. I look forward to working with you," she said, her tone firm yet casual.
A few students whispered among themselves, but Riku simply let out a sigh. He knew that name. Too well.
Hiratsuka Shizuka…? Isn't she the teacher from Oregairu?
His heartbeat quickened.

The student introductions began. One by one, they went to the front, stating their name, hobby, and hopes for high school.
When Riku's turn came, he strolled casually to the front.
"My name is Minase Riku. My hobby… is reading. My hope… is to live a peaceful high school life."
A safe, standard, boring answer. Exactly what he wanted.
But as he returned to his seat, he noticed something. By the window sat a beautiful girl with light brown hair, radiating an angelic aura—Shiina Mahiru.
Across the room, a girl with long, straight black hair stared at him with sharp, analytical eyes—Yukinoshita Yukino.
And right in front of him, a bespectacled girl with a gentle yet ambitious smile was jotting something down in her notebook—Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Riku froze.
No way… This isn't just an ordinary high school. This world… is a mix of different stories?
---
Hiratsuka-sensei clapped her hands, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Alright, everyone's introduced themselves. Starting tomorrow, class really begins. I hope you can all survive."
The room grew lively again, but in Riku's head, only one question lingered.
Was this just coincidence? Or… had his power unconsciously merged all these fictional worlds into one reality?
For some reason, his heart trembled.
Maybe that peaceful life he wanted was already impossible.
---
That was the beginning of lessons.
The start of a high school life filled with strangeness, just like the worlds he wanted to avoid.
And Minase Riku realized—
that no matter how much he tried to hide, a "god" could never stay hidden forever behind a school uniform.
