Life in Another World as a Witch

Reincarnation

Jun Sakata walked calmly through the city streets. It was an ordinary day. He was on his way to his first day of high school. So, it wasn't quite an ordinary day, but ordinary enough. Everything was okay. The sound of car's zooming past him on the sidewalk didn't bother him at all. As he stopped at an intersection, he noticed a girl wearing his school's uniform.

"Hey," he said, "what class are you in?"

"Oh, hi!" she said. "I'm in class 1-A."

"Me too. I hope to be good friends with you."

"Yeah, me too!"

Then, there was a screeching sound. A car was rounding a corner way too fast and was about to careen into the two. Jun grabbed the girl and shoved her out of the car's path. It hit him and the world went black.

Jun awoke in a soft bed. He slowly sat up, noting an unfamiliar weight on his chest. He swung his legs over the floor and stood up. Wooden floor boards? That wasn't very hospital like. It was then that he noticed something else different. He looked down to be met with the sight of breasts. Perhaps more alarmingly, a quick feel to his crotch confirmed that something important was missing. She suppressed a scream at the realization.

She then continued her examination of her body. In the process, she discovered that she had light blue hair. She was dressed in a dark blue cape over a dark blue bikini and stockings. There was also a witch's hat of the same color sitting on a nearby nightstand, along with a plain wooden staff leaned a against the wall.

There was a knock at the door and the door opened. What the point was of knocking, if they were just going to barge in anyway, Jun didn't know. A man entered.

"Hey there, little girl!" he said. "How are you doing? It's been a few hours since I found you laying outside."

"O-Oh, I'm okay," said Jun in a voice not his own. "Can I have a mirror?"

"Sure."

The man left and returned with a small hand held mirror. Using it, Jun confirmed that she was, in fact, a girl, and an attractive one too. In addition to the details she had noticed before, she noted that she had silver eyes.

Why am I in this body? Jun thought.

"All set, girl?" asked the man.

"Yeah, I think so," said Jun.

"Good. Then get out."

"What?"

"You're taking up a room I could be renting. If you're fine now, then leave."

"But I don't know where to go and I don't have any money..."

"Not my problem. Just be glad I took you in at all. With that outfit, no one would look twice if I dropped you off at a brothel."

Jun shivered at the thought.

"Okay, I'll go," she said.

She put on the hat, grabbed her staff, and left. She wandered around the city she found herself in for a while. It was like something out of an RPG, with Western medieval and Renaissance architecture. She enjoyed the sights, despite having no idea where she was going. Eventually, she came to a dead end in an alley. Turning around to leave, she realized she had been followed. A group of thugs were standing at the entrance to the alley and rapidly closing in on her.

"Hey," said one of them, "nice outfit. It's practically begging."

Okay, think, thought Jun, you've been reincarnated into a fantasy world as a witch. You must have some super powerful magic, right?

"Stay back!" Jun exclaimed, brandishing her staff.

The thugs stopped in their tracks. Jun's staff started to glow and from it emerged a small fireball, about the size of a fist. It flew and hit the thug who had spoken right in the chest. His shirt caught on fire, causing him to take his shirt off. He had a small burn on his chest, but was otherwise unharmed.

"Well if you're that eager to get the clothes off, who am I to deny a lady?" the thug asked.

"Eep!" exclaimed Jun, as she switched tactics, trying to jump onto the rooftops to get away.

The thugs closed in.

"Stop!" a voice said.
