Tendou Ryuuichi, a teenage high school boy and a descendant of a swordsman hailing from the early Edo Era, died in exchange for saving a young girl's life from being hit by a 10 wheeler truck and found himself reincarnated in the body of a girl livi...
Time: April xx, 2052 Location: One of the school gymnasium in Yurigaoka Girls Academy
"Tendou Shinmei-ryu, First Sword — Dancing Heavens!"
In the gymnasium of Yurigaoka Girls Academy, a striking figure commanded attention. With pale violet eyes and cascading purplish-white hair that flowed down to her waist, she was a vision of grace and precision. Her swift movements and flawless swordplay defied the limits of the human eye.

The girl executed a mesmerizing series of sword strikes, a seamless blend of vertical, horizontal, half-moon arcs, and various other intricate patterns. Each swing of her futuristic katana appeared as if she were performing a sacred dance or an offering to the heavens. Her blade left behind trails of white light, seemingly heated by its own speed, and the sonic booms that followed indicated that her strikes moved faster than sound itself.
After five minutes of this breathtaking display, she finally came to a halt, sitting cross-legged on the gymnasium floor, her breath steadying. Her attire consisted of a plain black hoodie with white outlines and rolled-up sleeves, bearing the badge of Yurigaoka Girls Academy. Beneath it, she wore a short-sleeved collared undershirt with a black ribbon, a black pleated skirt with white frilly edges, white thigh-high stockings, and black sneakers.
Shijima Tokugawa, that was her name now. Once, she had been a 17-year-old boy named Ryuichi Tendou, a practitioner of kenjutsu born into a family with a legacy of sword mastery dating back to the early Edo Era. The form she had demonstrated earlier was one of her ancestors' techniques, and she had painstakingly trained to master it, along with over a hundred more techniques, including secret ones. Her relentless dedication to mastering these techniques had earned her parents' pride. She had achieved perfection after a decade of intensive training.
Her life had taken a fateful turn shortly after her 17th birthday when she sacrificed herself to save a young girl from a speeding truck, only to find herself reborn in the body of a 14-year-old girl named Tokugawa Shijima. In this new world, where extraterrestrial entities known as Huges wreaked havoc, she couldn't help but wonder about her parents, her thoughts tinged with sadness as she gazed up at the gymnasium's ceiling.
With a sigh filled with melancholy, Shijima shifted her gaze towards the stained glass wall of the gymnasium, where the sun's gentle morning light painted a warm scene. The passage of time weighed on her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of boredom creeping in.
However, that sense of indifference was instantly shattered as she remembered the date - April xx, 2052. Today was a crucial day, the entrance ceremony for new students at Yurigaoka Girls Academy. Panic surged within her as she realized the time.
"Oh, no! I'm going to be late!"
She sprung to her feet, her CHARM Murasame - a katana with an icy blue blade - swiftly sheathed in its pure black scabbard. Without wasting a moment, she dashed out of the gym and headed towards the school's main entrance.
