Reincarnated Into Anime World - Chapter 53

A female teacher entered the class, instantly silencing the entire class. Nodding and smiling at the silent class, she wrote her name on the blackboard before turning back to face us.

“My name is Amakata Miho, but please refer to me as Amakata-sensei. I teach Classic literature, and I’ll be your homeroom teacher for this year. I hope we will all get along well this year!”

Our sensei was of average height and had a slender figure. Amakata-sensei’s medium brown hair was shoulder-length, slightly wavy, and parted down the center so that her bangs fall to either side of her face. She has brown eyes. She currently wore a white shirt with a neckline edged with blue fabric, a loose green cardigan over her shirt, blue jeans, white shoes, and a necklace.

I don’t seem to recall from what anime she was from, but she seemed pretty familiar. But looking around my class, there were plenty of people with different-colored hair.

And what does it mean?

It means that they are main characters too! Or at least an important friend to the main character.

“Well, since we have a bit of time before the opening ceremony, why don’t we take the time to get to know each other? I’ll start by introducing more of myself!”

“You already know my name, so…etto…I like reading and teaching my students about great literature. Any questions for me?”

Amakata-sensei seems really friendly, though I could tell that she was pretty nervous as well.

“Is this your first year as a teacher?”

“No. It’s actually my second, but I’m still new to this whole student thing. But I’ll try my best to not let all of you down.” She made a gut pose with both hands as she tried to cheer herself up.

Honestly, she gives off the feeling and the image of a child. She doesn’t really strike me as an a.d.u.l.t, and I guess the class was feeling the same way as everyone (all the girls, at least) was looking at her like a fellow student rather than a teacher.

Poor thing…

“What was your previous job?” Another girl raised her hand and asked.

But the question seemed to have poked into some places which shouldn’t be mentioned as Amakata-sensei just started stuttering profusely.

Seriously, she’s really like a child.

“It’s okay, sensei. You don’t have to tell us if you don’t really want to.” The girl comforted her as she sat back down.

“T-Thank you. Any other questions for me?” Amakata-sensei’s composure quickly recovered as her smile returned, “If not, then may the first student introduce him or herself?”

“Hai! I am…”

The girl on the most right of the front row stood up and started introducing herself.

I didn’t recognize most of them, but I did recognize some.

“Hello! I am Takemoto Uruka! Pleased to meet all of you!” Takemoto waved her hand enthusiastically as she introduced herself.

The first one that I recognized was from the same anime as Mafuyu nee-chan: We never learn, and she was also one of the main heroines. I don’t remember much about her, though she already had her most prominent feature, her tan skin.

Takemoto had short pink hair with violet eyes and a medium-sized ahoge on the top of her head. She seemed to be very friendly and outgoing, judging from her introduction manner.

After a few more girls, it was time for Raku’s soon-to-be crush to introduce herself.

“Good morning. I am Onodera Kosaki. Pleased to meet all of you.” Onodera introduced herself with a polite bow as she spoke softly.

Onodera is a fair-skinned teenage girl with shoulder-length dark-brown hair with one long hair strand, which she keeps combed neatly to the left side of her face and chocolate brown eyes.

“Good morning. I am Miyamoto Ruri. Nice to meet all of you.”

Miyamoto has brown, waist-length hair in a ponytail and bangs cut in a hime-style (princess-style), leaving long fringes to frame her face at both sides. Her ivy green eyes were framed in her square, rimless spectacles.

Her introduction was done with a poker-faced and speaking in an emotionless monotone.

At the back of the third row, a boy introduced himself rather outgoingly.

“My name is Kouichi Shindou! Nice to meet all of you! Hope we can all get along!”

Shindou had medium spiky hair that flicks outwards at the ends where it is parted on the right side, and a portion sticks up. He looks like the typical sport’s type of person who would be popular with everyone in school.

His eyes were clear as he presented a bright smile together with his introduction, causing many people to look at him positively. Still, despite the attention he was getting, he didn’t seem fl.u.s.tered or arrogant, with his smile still hanging about as he sat down and started conversing with the person beside him.

I don’t know if he was an anime character, but since his hair was orange in color, he must at least be a prominent side character, right? I mean, half the class had black hair, and the other half was filled with colorful hair.

There was already pink, white (me), another pink (Shou-chan), yellow, orange, light blue, dark purple, yellow-brown, and dark blue just by looking around my class.

If we counted other classes…well, I’ll get to see more once the opening ceremony begins in the hall.

Two seats before Shindou was Kaori, but her blond hair didn’t seem to attract too much attention, for a good reason as well.

The two seats in front of Kaori were occupied by two more girls.

“Chinami Umihara. Nice to meet you!”

“Ayuko Kawase. Nice to meet you.”

Umihara has short yellow-brown hair and brown eyes, and I would have mistaken her to be an ordinary character if not for her distinct hair color.

On the other hand, Ayuko has wavy c.h.e.s.t-length dark purple hair that has bangs swept to the left and golden-brown eyes. While Umihara’s introduction seemed enthusiastic and expressive, Ayuko’s introduction seemed more formal but friendly.

Sitting beside Umihara was Raku, and after his introduction, it was my turn.

“My name is Uesugi Fuutarou! Nice to meet all of you! I hope we can all be friends!”

Honestly, I didn’t know what I needed to say, so I just spoke whatever came into my mind at that time. Still, even that ad-lib was able to attract everyone’s attention as my classmates stared at me.

Over the years, I had tried to build up my thick skin, so this small amount of attention didn’t bother me.

After me was Haruma, and behind him was another colored-hair guy.

“Makio Tanihara. Nice to meet you, I guess.”

Makio had short blue hair that stops near the top portion of his forehead, and it is parted on the left side. He didn’t smile, and his introduction left the impression of a…loner or a solo person.

Maybe I’m wrong, and this was just his usual attitude, but I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

And introduction went on for another column before eventually reaching the last person.

“Miyamura Izumi. N-Nice to meet you.”

And finally, the last one was another main character from Horimiya. It’s hard to forget him when the anime he was in was literally the ship name between him and Hori.

Miyamura had his hair shoulder-length and straight, and a very depressing aura surrounded him, making him feel…separated from the class. He didn’t wear glasses as he did at the start of the anime, though he still currently looked sad.

Amakata-sensei looked a bit confused on how to deal with Miyamura, but before she could figure out her plan’s next step, an announcement was broadcasted from the speaker above the blackboard.

“Announcement to all school faculties and students, this is your principal speaking. Please report to the gym for the opening ceremony now. I repeat, please report to the gym for the opening ceremony now. Thank you.”

“Oh my, it seems like our time is up! Alright, class~! Please head towards the gym now.” Amakata-sensei called out as she guided all of us towards the gym.

Following her, we headed towards the gym.

On the way there, I saw the rest of the freshmen and seniors, and I have to admit, I didn’t recognize most of them.

I guess it’s only my class with the main characters?

[1 message received from God. Do you wish to receive it now?]

Hm? God’s message again? But since I have nothing to do now, I accepted it.

[Hello there, my favorite mortal. I’m glad to see that you’re as healthy as ever. I’m here to tell you two things. One, as you move on with your second phase of life, plenty of changes would start happening without your knowledge or consent, and no, I don’t mean puberty. This is your anime world; there is no such thing as puberty, lol.]

Did God just say ‘lol’? Wow…where is the formality and dignity of a higher being?

[But bearing that in mind, let me give you a piece of advice. Never lose faith in what you believe in. While your suffering might be harsh, the fruits you will reap would be worth all your trouble. Don’t ever give up, and push through all obstacles.

Secondly, on a lighter note, I’m also here to give you a quest. It’s up to you to reject it or accept it, but I think you will be very willing to accept it since I based this quest based on your subconscious d.e.s.i.r.e from both this life and previous life. Your life will become much more interesting from now on, which is all I can say for now. Good luck, and stay healthy!

Sincerely, your favorite God]

Hmmm…does that mean that all my previous quests came from the system and not God himself?

[It’s a yes and a no. Quests are formed based on your subconscious d.e.s.i.r.e plus a bit of my authority. The only difference would be that God had no part in your life whatsoever until this quest. Would you like to see this quest’s detail?]

Sure.

[Quest: Make more friends, my favorite mortal! (Part 1)]

Failure: The continuous chain quest would not be given out.

System tips: Seek Osana Najimi’s advice if you ever have trouble.]

Oh my, that is one long quest…

And I don’t know who on Earth is Osana Najimi.

But this does sound fun. I accept this quest.

[Quest by God is accepted. Good luck, and have fun.]

Is the system wishing me luck now? What a good system.

“Fuu-kun, is there anything wrong?” Shouko asked as she lightly tugged onto my sleeve.

“Yeah. It looks like you’re staring into empty space.” Kaori added.

“Nothing’s wrong. Now, let’s all listen to some old person talk for 1 hour, okay?”

*****************

A/N: Sorry for the lack of content in this chapter. I don’t really have anything to write in this chapter, so after describing some of the more prominent students that he would be interacting with in the future, I’ll try to fast forward the pace because I’m getting bored.

I’m sorry for the drop in quality in recent chapters, but I was swamped in the last week of the term, and I’m trying to at least keep to my word of 1 chapter every Sunday. I’ll try to write better chapters during my holidays, and thank you for your continuous support!
