*Kenichi's POV*
And so after crossing through the portal connecting the human world with Touga's tomb, I was able to return home.
Kenichi: (Although I was gone for a whole week, unexpectedly I don't feel nostalgic or anything like that, I wonder if this is because I am now a long-lived being with a long life expectancy).
I just hope this doesn't affect me too much in my daily life, I'm a bit worried about being immersed in training or fighting without worrying about the passing of time. Although I don't dislike the idea of living longer than other people, I don't see myself being able to endure living 3000 years like Touga, while all my acquaintances and friends die and grow old.
As for those who are wondering what happened with my hybrid transformation, the result was...
Kenichi: (A complete failure!)
At first I was very happy, not only did I manage to transform successfully, but I also got a great increase in power, all my physical abilities were raised quite a bit, in fact I still remember the value that appeared in my stats when I transformed.
============================================================
Stats
Lv.2 ⇨ 30
Strength: 60 ⇨ 1260
Agility: 55 ⇨ 1255
Stamina: 80 ⇨ 1280
Defense: 60 ⇨ 1260
Intelligence: 55
Mana: 50
Luck: 20
Youki: 155.000 ⇦ 100.000
Osore (Fear): 0
============================================================
Surprisingly my level went up from 2 to 32 and all my physical stats except for intelligence, Mana and luck increased by 1200 points, plus a new stat appeared showing me the amount of Youki I had and another one called "Osore".
The Osore (Fear), is the term that denotes the unique abilities and traits of each Youkai. It refers to the "Fear" of the unknown, an emotional reaction produced when Youkai represent themselves as "monsters". Since Youkai first existed as fear-inducing creatures in humanity, the general concept of "Fear" revolves around being feared and respected by humans, making them feel small and weak. It involves exerting a wall of pressure to make one's presence feel larger than reality. When done correctly, this also creates a change in mood and the surrounding air.
In simple terms you could say that it is another application of the qualities of the Youkai, unlike the Youki which is the innate power that a Youkai is born with, the Osore is the power produced by the fear of humans.
In that sense it is not strange that my Osore is at 0, it has only been a few days since I awakened my Youkai part. On the other hand I was quite surprised to learn that I have 155,000 Youki points, that numerical value makes a complete fool of all my other parameters, no wonder Inuyasha and Sesshomaru could unleash so many special abilities and never get tired.
Kenichi: (Although transforming cost me 50,000 Youki points, that's a lot).
But at that moment that was the least of it, the hybrid transformation completely surpassed my imagination, it was not only because of my new appearance, the moment I transformed I felt invincible, it would not be a joke to say that I had much more physical strength than in my Youkai form, it was as if all the strength of that form had been compressed in the hybrid transformation, as a human I currently have enough strength to destroy houses and buildings with my blows, but in the hybrid form I should have enough strength to destroy mountains with my blows.
It was a much better feeling than the one I had when I obtained the Hanma blood.
Faced with this reality I could not help but rejoice, with the addition of Tessaiga and my increased strength I felt unstoppable, although I was still far from the power of some beings that are capable of destroying countries, I am sure that my growth rate is much higher.
But my joy was short-lived...
Before I had time to process it or test my new abilities, the transformation unraveled and at the same time an immense pain spread throughout my body. I could vividly feel every bone in my body begin to shatter and my muscles begin to tear, in the end I could only collapse to the ground in a pool of my own blood.
In short...
I was overconfident...
I thought that because I suddenly gained great power like a Daiyoukai I was free from the limitations that other Hanyou had, but I was wrong, even though my body is that of a Hanma it is still a human body.
Being a hybrid transformation that depended on both my human form and my Youkai form, it was impossible for my body to withstand the immense Youki and even less so when I had not even awakened the potential of the Hanma blood, in the end the transformation produced an incredible burden that my body was not able to withstand.
Kenichi: (Now that I think about it I was really stupid, with the hybrid transformation I had an increase of 30 levels, no matter how much the Hanma blood is special it's useless if I don't take it to the limit).
The irregularity that I can transform at will into my Youkai form and have all the Youki inherited from Touga is only possible thanks to the Hanma blood, at this moment my body is in a perfect balance between my human and Youkai side, but my hybrid transformation broke that balance, as a result my body which is not yet fully developed could not bear the burden of all that compressed Youki.
Even with my accelerated regeneration as a hanyou and my Battle Healing combined it took me two days to fully heal, the damage my body received was that severe.
Kenichi: (Unexpectedly it didn't affect me as much as I thought, I wonder if this is also due to my new nature as a Hanyou, even though the pain was unbearable, I remained quite calm, in fact even a little indifferent).
Although it's a pity that the transformation went wrong, I didn't feel bad about it, I already know the way to transform, the only thing missing now is to level up my human side, but knowing the characteristics of Hanma blood it shouldn't take me that long, besides I still have the "Gourmet cells".
Kenichi: (Although I feel a little bad for Tessaiga, I will have to temporarily seal my Youkai side until I become strong enough).
The positive thing about this experience is that my control with Youki improved greatly, now I can easily switch between my human and Youkai form without wasting any Youki, before I had the problem that I would unconsciously release Youki making my physical capabilities increase, but now I can control that at will.
After coming back I took a quick shower and went outside to take out the trash.
???: "Ara~ Ken-kun?"
But to my surprise while I was distracted in my thoughts, I could hear a sweet voice that I haven't heard for quite some time.
As I turned around I could see a rather beautiful woman, she had long blonde hair, her eyes were blue in color, she was wearing a pink blouse, along with a black skirt, she had a rather curvy body and her breasts were quite voluptuous, to the point that they didn't lose to Aya-sensei's.
Kenichi: "Otoha-san!"
Yes, the name of this attractive and erotic milf is Watase Otoha.
Remember in the past I told Shuu that I had a beautiful housewife as a neighbor, well it turns out I wasn't lying, she along with her two daughters have been my neighbors since I was little, in fact in the past I even played quite often with them, our families were quite close we even went on vacation a few times together. But after my parents died we drifted apart.
Otoha-san two daughters now study at the Hachimitsu Academy, it's an academy only for women that works like a boarding school, that's why it's rare to see them around here, the same thing happens with Otoha-san, two years ago she divorced her husband so now she is the one in charge of supporting her daughters, that's why she spends most of her time working.
Now if you're wondering why I give so much importance to this woman who seems out of a hentai anime, then I could give you several reasons, for starters she was my mother's best friend, her daughters were my childhood friends, she was my first love when I was little, in my time as a pervert I had many erotic dreams with her and finally like most of my acquaintances she is also the main heroine of an anime.
More specifically of an Eroge that had a hentai anime, if I'm not mistaken it was called "Kazoku ~Haha to Shimai no Kyousei".
The story itself is not complicated at all. After years of being single, Otoha-san decided to remarry a man who was also single and had a son the same age as her daughters, at first they were all living a happy life as a family, but what they didn't know is that the man's son (the protagonist) harbored an unhealthy lust for his new mother and daughters. A lust he kept hidden until the day he found out that his father was having an affair with another woman.
When he found out about that he did not hide his intentions anymore, he immediately raped Otoha-san and threatened her that if she did not listen to him he would do the same to her daughters, when Otoha-san heard that she decided to listen to him to protect her daughters, but far from her eyes, the protagonist had already raped them as well as her. After that the story follows the same pattern as all hentai anime of the same genre.
Otoha: "Seriously you are Ken-kun, you have grown up a lot, for a second I almost didn't recognize you, who would have thought that the boy who used to play with my daughters would become so manly".
Kenichi: "Same here Otoha-san, you look even more beautiful than you did years ago."
Otoha: "Heh~ Thanks for the compliment Ken-kun.... Sorry, even though you moved in quite a while ago I haven't had time to greet you properly"
Kenichi: "Don't worry, you've had your own problems too."
Around the time I came back to live here, Otoha-san and her husband got divorced, I wonder how it is possible for such a beautiful woman to have such bad luck with men, although at the moment she is still single, if things develop like in the hentai anime she is going to end up marrying another cheating bastard, only to be turned into a sex slave by her son.
As for how she was able to recognize me, it's not really complicated, I actually look quite similar to my father, the only thing the Hanma blood did was to accelerate my growth, if I had started training on my own it's very possible that in a few months I would have had this same appearance even without the help of the system.
Kenichi: "By the way, how have Nagi-chan and Fuu-chan been?"
Otoha: "Ah, those girls have me in despair, both of them are so focused on the academy activities that they are hardly seen around here.... Please don't think that they are avoiding you, Nagisa is now part of the student council so she is very busy and Fuuka is completely focused on the swimming club activities, that's why they don't come home very often."
Kenichi: "Don't worry, those two have always been the type to focus completely on what they like, how have you been?"
Otoha: "Thank you for asking, I've been very well now~"
We were talking for a while. If you are asking yourself, why even though we have been neighbors again for more than two years we haven't met before? Then the answer would be that it's because of me or more specifically my perverted version of me from before I freed myself from the influence of the will of the world.
Although it's a bit embarrassing to admit it, I'm not going to lie, at that time I was very attracted to Otoha-san, to the point that it was not uncommon for me to get an erection just by looking at her, that's why whenever I saw her I always ended up running or hiding so she wouldn't see my erection, the same thing happened with Nagisa and Fuuka, I have to admit that with their appearances the three of them do justice to their title of hentai anime heroines.
Kenichi: (That's why I'm now in a dilemma... Although I would like to help Otoha-san when she has problems, it's still not safe to assume that things will happen just like in the story of that hentai anime, to begin with her divorce was quite recent so the chances of her remarrying soon are quite low, plus the one I have to protect her from is not the guy she's marrying but her son, although the father is the root of the problem, in the end his son is nothing but a rapist).
But my dilemma lies in the fact that Otoha-san, Nagisa and Fuuka are typical hentai anime heroines who are easily extorted, although I know it may sound a bit offensive, but hentai anime heroines of the NTR and rape genre usually tend to be easy, men just need to press them or threaten them a little and they are already opening their legs easily without doubting them even a little bit.
Kenichi: (Although I was joking around with Raku in the past, it looks like I'm going to have to keep an eye out for perverts..... Damn, when am I going to get a break from all this crap, now it turns out that this world also has hentai anime mixed in).
After that I said goodbye to Otoha-san with the promise to go one day to her house to eat together with her and her daughters, that was going to be a good opportunity to know if there are any insects around.
I prepared a simple breakfast and then got ready to go to school. It was a pretty quiet morning, I have to admit that it was quite convenient to live near the school, it was only a 30 minutes walk away.
Kenichi: (Hmm... Come to think of it, Sohara and Tomoki live nearby, for next time I should talk to them about going to school together.)
I couldn't help but laugh at the memory of them, even though our friendship is largely due to the plot change ticket, I can't help but remember those moments of my childhood with nostalgia.
To my surprise, just as I was thinking about them, I saw them walking together in the distance.
Kenichi: "Hello, Sohara and... Tomoki?"
Sohara: "Hmm? Ah~ Ken-kun, good morning"
Tomoki: "H-Hello"
As I approached I couldn't help but be puzzled for a few seconds, unlike the lively and cheerful Sohara, Tomoki looked like shit and I don't mean that rhetorically, he literally looked like shit, his face was unrecognizable because of all the bumps, his uniform was a complete mess, and his blood was seeping from several of his wounds, honestly he was just a step away from us having to censor his face.
Kenichi: "Even though I already have a rough idea of the situation, I'm going to ask anyway, what the fuck happened to you?"
Tomoki: "I was crushed by a gorilla".
Sohara: "Hahaha~ But how funny you are Tomo-chan~ How could you possibly have run into a gorilla in the city, since you've been saying strange things for a while now, are you sure you're okay, maybe you hit your head?"
Kenichi: "..."
Tomoki: "N-Nothing happened to me, I just fell down the stairs, ugh! I happen to be very absent-minded."
Sohara: "That's not right Tomo-chan, we're teenagers now, you can't keep being distracted like in the past!"
Although Sohara was speaking in a sweet and lively voice, the dark aura that manifested around her body and her lifeless eyes that made her look like a yandere, were a clear demonstration of how angry she was.
I know that having Hanma blood I shouldn't feel intimidated by anyone, not even by people who are stronger than me, but I couldn't help but shudder when I felt Sohara's aura, this is something she shares with Sairenji, although normally they both have an average physical condition, when a situation becomes ridiculous they both get a strength that surpasses any kind of logic.
Kenichi: (I'd better not provoke her, even I'm not sure if I can get away unscathed after taking one of her blows.)
Kenichi: "Let me guess, despite Sohara repeatedly talking to you to wake you up you ignored her and continued sleeping, fed up with talking to you, Sohara went to your room to wake you up, but in doing so she was welcomed by your water little pistol which was completely exposed".
Sohara: "..."
Tomoki: "You mean my Bazooka!!!"
I decided to ignore him, anyway this kind of jokes were usual between us, besides seeing Tomoki naked is as common in this town as seeing the Yakuza fighting against the police.
Kenichi: "But for how beaten you are I guess you did something else afterwards, after all, seeing you naked is one of the most common occurrences in this town, no one is surprised to see your little pistol water".
Tomoki: "Hey!!! STOP CALLING IT WATER LITTLE PISTOL!!!"
Sohara: "That's what he got for sexual harassment, in the few minutes since we left his house he's already pounced on more than 20 women."
Kenichi: "I see, that's pretty much what I figured.... Anyway, let's go to school now, if we keep wasting time we're going to be late."
Sohara: "That's true... It's better that we ignore everything that happened this morning".
Tomoki: "They're really going to ignore what happened! I was practically about to die! In fact I even met my grandfather who was begging me not to cross to the other side!"
Sohara: "Ken-kun, is it just my imagination or did you get taller again?"
Kenichi: "Yes... Although I was surprised at first, remembering the stories my mother used to tell me when I was little, it's not that impressive either, my ancestor Hanma Yuujirou was around 190 cm (6'3") and I'm still in my teens, so I still have some room to grow."
This is something I realized recently, it seems that my hybrid transformation accelerated my body growth, I'm now a little over 180 cm, at this rate it's only a matter of time before I reach Yuujirou's height.
Sohara: "Th-That's impressive, someday you have to tell me that story about your ancestor, it sounds pretty interesting."
Kenichi: "Yes... Someday I'll tell you about it, though I'm not sure if you'll find it interesting."
Sohara: "Try me!"
Tomoki: "YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO IGNORE ME!"
After that the three of us walked together while talking about old times in a lively manner, but when we arrived at the school entrance we were surprised to see a large number of students gathered.
Girl #1: "KYAAA! DON'T DO IT!"
Guy #1: "Don't be hasty, you still have a lot to live for!"
Girl #2: "Hey it looks like he's really going to throw himself!"
Guy #3: "Don't do it!"
Girl #3: "Stay calm! Don't do anything crazy!"
The closer we got the more we heard the shouts of surprise and nervousness from the students. Among the group of students standing at the entrance I could see Onodera and Miyamoto, so I approached them along with Sohara and Tomoki.
Kenichi: "What's going on, why is there a crowd in front of the school entrance?"
Onodera: "Th-This is terrible Saruyama-kun! S-Someone is about to jump off the school roof!"
Sohara: "WHAT?!"
Tomoki: "JUMPING OFF THE SCHOOL ROOF!?"
Miyamoto: "Calm down Kosaki, it's not the weirdest thing we've seen in this school."
In contrast to Onodera who was incredibly nervous, Miyamoto was as expressionless and serious as ever. When we heard Onodera's words, the three of us looked up at the rooftop, only to see a student who was apparently close to our age, had short white hair, blue-green eyes and was wearing large rectangular glasses.
Unlike the nervousness of the students and teachers, his expression did not look at all like someone who was about to commit suicide, in fact his facial expression was neutral, calm and serene, if I had to give an example, then I would say he was as expressionless as Miyamoto and Kato. He was standing relaxedly looking at the horizon as the wind rustled his uniform.
Sohara: "W-W-What should we do? What should we do?"
Kenichi: "Hmm? That's not... Sugata-Senpai?"
Tomoki: "Sugata-Senpai?"
Onodera: "Eh-Eh? Do you know him Saruyama-kun?"
Kenichi: "Yeah, actually it's rare that someone doesn't know him in this school, he's a second year student, his name is Sugata Eichirou, he's the "President of The New World Club", in a sense you could say he's quite famous, although not in the good sense of the word."
Tomoki: "What's with that ridiculous name?"
Kenichi: "Don't ask me, besides this school is full of clubs with ridiculous names, whatever, although he's not a bad guy, from what I understand he's a headache for all the teachers because he tends to do that kind of risky stuff... You don't have to worry though, apparently he's not trying to commit suicide or anything like that."
Onodera: "Really?"
Kenichi: "Yeah, it looks like everyone got so nervous that they didn't see that glider next to his feet."
Hearing my words they all took a good look and realised that I certainly had a glider next to where I was standing.
Sohara: "That's right... Wait, that means he wants to launch himself from the rooftop in his glider! That's crazy! We have to stop him, he might get hurt!"
But ignoring Sohara's concern, with the same calm expression Sugata casually took the glider that was baked in several parts with his hands and as if it was the most normal thing in the world he launched himself from the rooftop.
Onodera: "Kyaaa!"
Miyamoto: "!"
Sohara: "Waa~"
Tomoki: "It really took off!"
Although his trajectory at the moment of launching was perfect, apparently the wind was not in his favour, after a few minutes the glider started to descend until it crashed into some trees that could be seen in the distance.
Miyamoto: "He really crashed, by the confidence he had in his eyes I thought he was going to make it".
Kenichi: "He could have made it, but apparently time was not in his favour".
Onodera: "Why are you two so calm! He just crashed! He'll be fine!"
Sohara: "That's right! I hope he didn't get hurt!"
Kenichi: "Although I don't think he was unhurt, he should be fine, I could tell he purposely threw himself into those trees, so it's likely he broke his fall by crashing into the branches of the trees."
As he was trying to reassure Sohara and Onodera, suddenly there was a shout from several teachers who started running in the direction Sugata crashed.
Hiratsuka: "You fucking brat! You did it again! Now you're going to get my fist! I'm going to smash your fucking glasses!"
Sasuga: "Calm down Hiratsuka-sensei!"
Ayana: "A-All of you, please enter your classrooms now."
From what I could see, all the second and third year students were watching with flat expressions, as if they were already used to seeing this kind of scenes, some even ignored the situation and entered the school as if it was an ordinary day, the only ones who kept looking at everything with puzzled expressions were the first year students who didn't know Sugata.
Kenichi: (I know him from the manga/anime "Sora no Otoshimono")
In the story of Sora no Otoshimono, Sugata Eichirou is a secondary character with a pretty deep past, in fact, if Sora no Otoshimono was a manga that focused only on action he would definitely be the main character of the story, not only is he an important character, he also possesses great intelligence.
If I want to stop the restart of the world caused by the Synapse, save the Angeloids who are oppressed by Minos and save So-chan (Daedalus), Sugata's help is going to be indispensable.
Just because I have an "Intelligence" parameter in my stats, doesn't mean that my intelligence is going to increase, the points of that parameter only indicate the amount of information I can process without hurting myself, that's why it increased after my hybrid transformation and it's also the reason why I couldn't see all of Touga's past. Plus it's somewhat related to my "Mana" parameter.
Kenichi: (Although I would like to simply enter the Synapse to hit Minos and rescue So-chan, unfortunately I don't have the means to enter dimensions separate from reality, plus that place has very dangerous security, most likely the moment I infiltrate it I'll be immediately attacked by "Ikaros Melan").
The best thing for the moment is that I let things run the course of the main story to a certain extent and only get involved when things get dangerous. I also have to be careful about leaking the information I know about what's going to happen, although I don't mind them thinking I can see the future, it's better that than them finding out the truth of this world.
After some last reassuring words, we entered the school, on the way we met Kato, Shuu and Raku who arrived later and didn't get to see anything that happened.
It was just another ordinary school day.
Although I should find it boring, ironically it's one of the most relaxing times I have, I have a lot of fun hanging out with everyone.
But while I was relaxing alone on the rooftop after lunch, someone unexpectedly came to talk to me.
Yukana: "Hello~ Ken-kun."
Kenichi: "Hmm"
The one in front of me was none other than Yame Yukana, the main heroine of "Hajimete no Gal", one of the most beautiful girls in the class and also very famous for dressing and making herself up in style.
We are not particularly close, but before I freed myself from the will of the world I used to talk to her, although she has stated in the past that she dislikes perverts, I was in the range of those who were tolerable, even as a pervert I never did something like openly shouting that I wanted to lose my virginity, at most I said I wanted a girlfriend.
Although we haven't talked lately, there's something about her that catches my attention.
Kenichi: (She is the first person who deviates from her story of her own free will.)
A few days ago, the beginning of her story happened. That day after Hashiba Jun'ichi made his pathetic attempt at a confession, she was supposed to have criticized him and mocked him and agreed to be his girlfriend. Although Hashiba declared his love for her, his real intention was to lose his virginity, even though he himself said he didn't like Gal, but after dating Yukana often he realized that unlike her appearance and erotic attitude, she was unexpectedly innocent when it came to romantic relationships.
But to my surprise, that day Yukana not only rejected him, she also beat him so brutally that he didn't show up at school for a few days.
After seeing that, the conclusions I came to were...
1.- The will of the world is not interested in everyday life stories.
So far I've been involved with some protagonists and heroines of everyday life stories, such as Nisekoi, but the world hasn't done anything to affect me.
2.- Yukana's change is probably due to my title "The one who breaks his Destiny".
This title makes me an irregular who is not bound by the rules of the world, which means that even if I don't want it, my mere existence alters the course of the stories and characters.
I saw this when I saw Rito, lately his personality has changed a lot, he's even looked at me with hostility when I talk to Sairenji, that's something that the Rito I know and the one from the To Love-Ru manga/Anime would never have done.
Kenichi: (Although I'm not sure if that's due to this title or the intervention of the will of the world...)
Kenichi: "What's up Yukana? Since it's been a while since we talked, I thought you were ignoring me."
Yukana: "E-Eh.... N-No! You got it wrong! The reason why I haven't been talking to you was... That's right! Y-Your change of appearance surprised me so much that I couldn't think of anything to talk to you about!"
Kenichi: "I see"
From her attitude, I can tell she's quite nervous, I wonder what she wants to talk to me about.
Yukana: "K-Ken-kun, are you free in the afternoon, after school?"
Kenichi: "Hmm, apart from making lunch I don't have anything planned for the afternoon."
After all I spent a whole week training and recovering from the damage I did to myself, I don't intend to go back to training for a few days.
The moment she heard my words, Yukana immediately went from nervous to excited.
Yukana: "I see~ So you want to come with me to the Karaoke, Risacchi, Miocchi, and Haruna-chan are also going, if you want you can even invite your friends".
Kenichi: "You're fine with inviting me, this isn't one of the usual girls-only outings"
Yukana: "No problem, this is just for fun and relaxation before the exams start, plus it's going to be a good chance for all of us to get to know each other better."
Kenichi: (Sounds interesting, it's not healthy for me to spend all my time thinking about fighting and worrying about the plots of the world)
Kenichi: "Alright, I hope you don't mind me tagging along~"
Yukana: "Yes~ I did~"
After I accept her invitation, Yukana put on a happy expression and started to move in a lively manner, although it's quite good to see her with that happy smile, I wish she wouldn't move so much, I can't help but watch her breasts move every time she jumps, it's almost hypnotic.
Yukana: "Ken-kun no Ecchi (Pervert)!"
The moment Yukana said that, she ran away while laughing.
Kenichi: "Haa... I guess she found me out."
