(Thank you all for the support and votes! Sorry this took way to long to get inspired but, the amount of notifications made me a bit guilty 😅. Sorry!)

My vision returned in a blur, groggily rubbing my eyes from my slumber. Never was a morning person... Slowly sitting up, I threw my blanket off to avoid the temptation of sleep. I yawned when reaching out for my crutches. Oh come on! Wake up Kirito!

Getting off of heaven itself I quickly got ready, if I mean a snail's pace, and went downstairs to where my mom likely was. Looking around the kitchen I saw my mom making breakfast.

"Morning, Mom," quickly showing I was still a zombie I yawned.

She merely turned to smile and laugh at me, "Good morning, Kirito. How did you sleep?"

"Like a log." I sat at the counter and put the crutches to the side. I continued to try and rub the sleep out of my eyes.

Mom just turned the stove off, scooping fluffy yellow goodness onto a plate with toast. "Here, I made scrambled eggs and toast for you," she placed the food in front of me with a fork.

"I could've made breakfast you know..." I shoved as many eggs into my mouth as I could.

She just laughed a bit and said, "We both know you can't cook to save your life if you needed to."

"Hey! I'm not that bad!"

⚔️

After breakfast we went to the school to get my schedule for class. Driving to Kunugigaoka junior high wasn't much, I could easily walk there even with crutches. My Mom dropped me off and said to not take too long, I reassured her quickly.

The principal's office wasn't very far either. A simple knock on the door was all that was needed for a "come in" too be said.

"Hello, I'm Principal Asano. You must be the new transfer to the school, Kazuto Kirigaya."

When I saw the principal, I wanted to have as little contact with the guy as possible. His stare was almost as bad as a red player's was, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

I got out of my stupor quickly and nodded. "Yes sir, that's me."

"Please, have a seat." He motioned for the single chair I front of the desk. I did as told, wanting to get out as soon as possible.

"Due to your 'certain' circumstances, you were placed in class 3-E," he hands me my schedule, "The classroom is in a separate building away from the main campus, you may want to come a few hours early to get to class on time. Tommorow when you transfer, there will be a new teacher there, so don't worry to much."

Less sleep plus getting up earlier than needed, you are making me like you less and less. I nodded to let him know that I was listening to him.

"Do you have any questions?"

"No sir."

"Then you may leave now, classes are about to be let out, hope you enjoy our school." I bowed politely and left without a word

After going a good distance away the sigh of relief I was holding let out. Why is he so scary!? Shaking my head I quickly went back to the car with my schedule in hand.

⚔️

Next day, I'm walking to school like I used to two years ago. The nerves were setting in a bit though. I'm so bad at social interactions... Great. Sao hasn't helped. Shaking my head to rid of those thoughts I entered the school grounds.

I'm so tired! Having to wake up early is not good, crutches make it worse too. Questioning why the classroom is even further away, I continued to walk.

I wish I could pull my phone out right now...

How far away is this class!?

Was that a snake!? I hurried my pace a bit.

Now I'm being blinded by the sun, great.

Finally! I saw a building just ahead and went as fast as I could there. Walking inside to shade was nice. Now I understand why the principal wanted me to leave early. I gasped for breath for all the cardio I just did.

Catching my breath, I continued down the hallway to the classroom with 3-E on it. Here goes nothing. I gently open the door, peeking inside. There is a few people inside, not that many yet. Its a quiet, grim atmosphere almost.

Walking inside I quickly find a seat in the back, but not the protagonist seat. Staying clear away... I sat down, not getting that many looks as I thought I might, sighing a bit.

I waited a bit, the classroom filled up quickly soon after. The room was still deathly silent, not the usual loudness of a classroom.

Some government guys came in. There was this weird yellow thing in between them but I couldn't tell. When the guys stopped I could see a yellow octopus wearing a teacher outfit. What is going on?

"Hello! How are you? So, I'm the one who blew up the moon. Next year I intend to do the same thing to planet earth. But never mind that now, I'm gonna be your new teacher! Isn't that exciting?!" Wait- Who? What!? Blew up the moon!? I knew something was off but-. My thoughts were cut off by one of the government guys.

"Uh, I'm Karasuma. I'm from the Ministry of Defense. What, uh, what I'm about to tell you we in the business call 'classified'. I'm gonna need you to kill this thing for the sake of mankind."

"Uh, is this a joke?" A student called out, My thoughts exactly, "But if this is the alien who blew up the moon-" he was cut off by yellow, the octopus.

"I am an Earthling born and bred, thank you very much!" Yellow yelled, clearly offended.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss the details at this juncture. I'll just say he's telling the truth. His threat is all too real. As of this coming March, he will obliterate the Earth. Apart from you, the only people who know this are the world leaders. If word of this leaks out to the public, well have widespread panic on our hands. He must be terminated soon and with extreme prejudice. Which means that you will become assassins."

Hold on! Kill!? Wha- He pulls out a knife and starts attacking the yellow thing. Breathe, Kirito, breathe. It's not real. It's green and looks like rubber by the way it is slightly bending. Breathe. Fighting a small amount of nausea I focus on Karasuma.

"Now, you'll notice he's incredibly fast! And for some reason he likes grooming eyebrows." I have to stiffle a laugh, my previous thoughts forgotten.

"You're looking at a being so powerful he can obliterate over half the moon in seconds. So fast, he's been clocked at Mach 20. A world where he's allowed to live is a world waiting to be destroyed, plain and simple." This shuts me up quickly.

"He makes it all sound so grim, doesn't he? Cheer up! I've graciously made the government an offer. Stop making a fool of yourself, I said, and let me teach class 3E at this illustrious institution!" Yellow overly cheerful says with the current atmosphere.

"We didn't have much of a choice. We have no idea what his motives are, but we agreed on the condition that none of you students would be harmed in any way. The advantage is twofold. On the one hand we'll know his whereabouts a good portion of every weekday, which is something. On the other, he'll be in close range to thirty-one people with the means and incentive to kill him."

K- Kill? I gulp with nervousness as the huge cases come in with anti-sensei weapons.

They're serious... Oh God.

Maybe someone else will do it?
