True Magician

Prologue

Kuoh City. Kuoh Academy. Medical Room.

It had been five years since I woke up in my new body. After spending so much time in this world, I was beginning to wonder why I was even here. I understand the concept of reincarnation and transmigration from manga and anime, but how shall I put it... Why would it be necessary in an already finished work if even without it, the plot would move forward?

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

- Come in.

- Excuse me, Dr Romani,' said a woman's voice.

The door opened and Tsubaki Shinra along with the Perverted Trio entered the medical room and bowed.

- Oh! Tsubaki-san. Are they at it again? - I asked with a sigh.

- Yes. They were beaten up by the kendo club again,'' she replied with the same sigh.

- Got it. You can go to class now. I'll take care of them.

She nodded and, bowing, left.

I looked at the squirming trio and rubbed my temples.

- What are we going to do with you? Aren't you tired of getting caught and bruised? Are your hobbies really worth this kind of suffering?

- Sensei! You're a man too! You must understand our attraction to the female body! - Despite his injuries, Issei cried out, and his accomplices nodded.

And how the hell did he become the strongest Ddraig host? Oh wait, I know the answer. The main character's plot armour! I got a headache.

- Okay. Come one at a time so I can treat your wounds,' I said, trying to smile.

- Got it,' all three of them shrieked.

While I was treating them, a deep voice was heard in my head.

- Hm. And this is the one who is destined to defeat the Beast VI of this world? We can't understand this.

- Heh. You don't have to try to understand it, Goetia. I gave up long ago and accepted reality. I suggest you do the same.

- Then why are you still in this school? We remember you saying that this place is the epicentre of future events. Wouldn't it be wiser to leave it and find another one?

- I thought about that too, but I decided that finding out why I was here was... more acceptable.

Yep. How drastically my life has changed if I'm talking to the Beast I in my head.

- Done. Now, if you'd be so kind as to stay away from the girls. You're creating extra work for me that I can absolutely avoid. Do you understand me, degenerate trio? - I asked with a creepy smile.

- Y-yes!' they shrieked and ran out of the infirmary.

I grinned and, turning to the empty corner of the office, asked:

- Heh. What do you think of them, Eroge Protagonist Rank EX?

- Stop calling me that, Master. I have no idea how I obtained this skill,'' the heroic spirit materialised and replied.

'Allow me to introduce to you "Bone of my Sword", "Queen of Britannia", "Really Satan", and most importantly, the "Eroge Protagonist Rank EX" - Archer Emiya.'

- Come on! There's no need to be embarrassed. You can't deny the fact that the skill is fairly earned,'' I snickered.

- Why are all my Masters so unpleasant...'' Emiya muttered, clutching his head with his hands.

- Rank E luck, I guess?

Heh. Now he's hitting the wall. Poor bastard.

- Anyway, how was your round of the city? - I took pity on him.
