“Arghhh!! This floating car sure is hard to drive! It’s harder to drive than it was to steal!!”

I laughed, even though I was completely alone in my stolen car. The ROBO-police sure did hate me, but hey, what other way could I come to school? I’m just a poor struggling delinquent boy of sixteen years of age with floppy black hair and of the height of 170 cm. 

I hopped out of my fancy stolen car that I had stolen and stepped into the campus of probably the nicest school you have ever seen. Imagine the coolest fantasy school, only make it more cool. But the looks of the school are far from the best part about it, and no, I’m not going to say the classes are the best part, because I skip almost all of them. No, the best part of the school is the uniforms… the girl’s uniforms. The delicately sewn miniskirts…the beautiful knee-high socks…..they could even make old Miss. Hrenson, the mid twenties woman who runs one of the bars in the city, look cute! And that's saying a lot….she’s basically a hag. 

“Hey!!! Kagero-kun!! What are you doing spacing out like that! Didn’t you hear the bell???”

A cute voice approached my ears. I could recognize that voice from twenty miles away. My sporty childhood friend has had a crush on me my entire life.

“Ne, ne, do you even hear me??? Helllllo~”

A cute girl of about my age stood in my field of view, cutely leaning down with her hands clasped behind her back, she wore her long orange hair in a messy ponytail that ran down to just above her shoulders. 

“Hey Tatsumi… what’s going on?”

She puffed out her cheeks in a cute pout.

“You weren’t listening to anything I said! Come on, follow me!”

I can’t believe her, she’s very pretty yet she has such a short temperature!  You’d never guess that under her cute and bubbly looks she was actually quite feisty! As Tatsumi ran to the school building I slowly followed in a casual walk. I had no reason to rush to a stupid school that I skipped over half of what they taught. The only reason I rushed to come every day was so that I could see Tatsumi. 

“What’s taking you so long~” 

“Fine, fine. I’m coming.”

Sigh, she is sometimes so difficult….yet she also is so endearing. Maybe today could be the day I asked her to date me. 

“Hey, Tatsumi. I have something extremely important I want to tell you. Can you talk to me for a bit behind the school?”

“Un, but what about?” 

She tilted her head in confusion. Sometimes Tatsumi is too cute. 

“Uhhh umm….. You’ll know soon?”

“Teehee~ Alright then Kagero-kun!” 

After a bit of walking we arrived behind the school. I hate to admit it but I was constantly fidgeting with the ring I had bought for Tatsumi, I was extremely nervous. As I slowly faced Tatsumi my legs shook. 

“Um, ok. So uhhhhhhh….without further ado I guess I should just spit it out…so. Ummmmmmm so, basically do you want to go on a date?”

I cringed at myself. I was so awkward. Although I didn’t even mean what I was saying, it was still so hard to act this awkward.

“D…..d.d.d.d..d…..date?!? Wh..what!! I never….I never would have guessed!” 

Tatsumi covered her face in her hands as her cheeks turned bright red. I never would have guessed that this sporty girl who is also sometimes feisty is the sort of girl who gets flustered by romance! Somehow, this makes her even cuter. 

“Welll……..I…I ummmmmm…” 

Tatsumi cutely shook her head as she tried to find the right words. 

Heh, I’m a very naturally confident person, so this is a good excuse to show Tatsumi my cooler side. I placed my hand on her shoulder.

“Hey, you just have to say yes or no, ya know!”

She bashfully looked down and cutely swallowed, then she looked back up at me, her adorable bright yellow eyes, wide and loving, her rosy cheeks shone in the sunlight. She was downright adorable…to say the least.

“I….um…yes.”

She quickly said that then cutely ran away, back towards the school building. Well, that was a new side of Tatsumi I have never seen before. I can’t say it makes her any less cute though. So since she’s officially my girlfriend, this will hopefully further my plan!

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“I guess I should go to a class or something… not like I have anybody to talk to. My many friends are probably performing an intergalactic heist with space pirates since they are part of a teenage delinquent gang. I am also part of this gang, but I decided to stay back for this heist so I could confess to Tatsumi. Phew, now that that’s done though I don’t know what to do.” 

I mumbled to myself as I wandered in the vague direction of the school building. As I was walking I glanced into the sky. The sky was still blue, however I could see many moving lights, most likely trading spaceships. The trade routes with the different planets is one of the most main sources of income for earth. However, we don’t just import things to other planets, we also rely a lot on imported goods. WIthout these trade routes we probably could not build all of our motherships. I know a lot about these huge motherships since my gang stole a big one and used it as a space pirate base. 

Suddenly a bright light shone in the sky, as if the sun itself was exploding. I squinted my eyes to see more clearly and was shocked to see a huge mecha falling down onto the school. It fell into the atmosphere, rather more smoothly than I would have thought, and then not so gracefully fell into the school, crushing it all under the giant robot. 

“AUUUGHHHHEEEEHHHHH!!!!” 

I screamed as the entire building crashed to the ground. I ran towards the building but quickly stopped in my tracks as one of the mecha’s huge hands blocked my way. Why would it block my path? Tatsumi could be dying at this very moment and I can’t even get to her. I angrily punched the huge hand, but that didn’t help anything.

“Get out of my way, you stupid robot! My entire plan is falling apart!”

I could feel my delinquent self getting the better of me. I tried to calm myself, but it didn’t work.

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!” 

I screamed and threw out many useless punches. 

SCREEEECH

A loud sound hit my ears as the head of the mecha slowly opened. Inside was a petite girl with bright blue twintails reaching down to her toes. 

She opened her mouth in a yawn, stretching her arms out. Who knew a yawning girl could be so overwhelmingly adorable. 

“Yawwwwn~ Oh~ Did my mecha crashhhh. I guess I really did fall asleep~ My mistake~~”

The Girl’s voice was high pitched, but she talked in some sort of lazy drawl. It seemed uncharacteristic of her but somehow it sounded pretty good. 

“Ohhhh, sorry~ I guess I should move my mecha~ I’ll just be a bit just waaait.” 

She lazily pressed a couple buttons and then the robot got up. Leaving the completely broken down school in plain sight. She really did just destroy the entire school in one quick movement. 

“Ohhhhhh…I guess your school is kind of destroyed right now~ oops, hehe. Hmmmm.”

She paused, seemingly trying to remember something.

“Oh, uh. Who are you?”

Me? Oh, of course she’s talking to me. Everyone else in the school is probably dead.

“I am named Kagero Hirako. I am fifteen years old and I am a teenage delinquent. My original goal was to be the ruler of the world, but since that would be too easy, my new goal is to become the ruler of the universe! Pleased to meet you, I look forward to becoming friends!”

I finished my formal introduction in a bow, and smirked at the girl. I knew she was going to love me.

“Umu, oh alright I guess I have to introduce myself too~ Argh, what a pain~Ahem, My name is Princess Cilictia Narviton, and I am in the first in line for the throne of the intergalactic empire, pleased to meet you~”

Okay. Now my cute childhood friend is completely useless to my overall scheme. This girl is leagues above. I mean come on, what does a cute sporty girl have that’s better than a literal PRINCESS!

“Oh, yes. You need to come with me then. Youuu can join my school I guess…Although it is an all girls school~ YAWWWN It won’t be a problem…probably~” 

“A……..An all GIRL’S school!!!” 

I could not believe my ears. I will be going to space with this girl and I will be going to an all girl’s school.

“Alright, I am very excited to go on our journey to my new highschool!”

“Un, Un~”

I hopped into the mecha and Cilicitia pressed a few buttons, then it jumped off into the atmosphere, leaving behind the broken down school and all my embarrassing shenanigans. 

With my departure from my home planet, also comes the departure of my prior (fake) personality. I was before just a lame teenage boy who’s only joy in life was a sporty ditz. No, I’m better than that now. Now I can show my real personality. I smirked as I looked at the millions of stars zooming past us. I really was above the world. Maybe I am better than what I thought. Hehe, I do have a god complex, that’s right you heard me.

 “Hey, babe. I can see you are blushing because you are in my presence.”

“Ohhhhh~ I am, how did you know?”

Called it, fufu. 

I pressed a button that opened up the head of the mecha. Cilicitia tried to stop me, her dome shaped blue eyes widening as she saw the button I pressed. I just smirked. I never knew making a literal princess of the intergalactic throne, completely terrified and helpless was so easy. I didn’t spend too much time thinking about it though, after all, she was just another obstacle in my grindset. 

Probably your little minds can’t truly comprehend my thought process so I’ll try to dumb it down enough so you can understand alright?

So basically right when I saw this girl I was thinking that there must be something up with her. That robot that she was riding was made with Vaalshin metal, which is one of the most expensive metals. Also the left upper glass piece on the right leg of the robot was made with Lomtik Glass, which can only be harvested in Tlavis, the planet inhabited by royalty. By looking at this glass it was obvious that it was not transported into another planet by way of trade ships, since it had only just developed a shiny layer of condensation on it, which would be a lot thicker if it were transported in space before.

So after this I awkwardly introduced myself so that she would think of me as below her, so she would not expect anything from me, and thus give away her royal title like it was nothing. 

This led to the very beginnings of my plan. 

So before she had said anything, I noticed she wore a pin of one of the most prestigious all girl’s schools on her normal suit which reflected off the main window of the cockpit of the robot so before she had landed I could clearly see the pin. This led me to quickly pull out my phone and slightly alter the gps on the surrounding space crafts, which led the falling mecha (That was obviously in autodrive) to fall on top of my school. And of course when this happened and I introduced myself as a harmless and pathetic student her train of thought was very easy to predict. She invited me to join her school, which I quickly agreed to. 

And then the highlight of the plan. As I climbed into the robot I was able to quickly memorise the buttons she pressed when, and was able to locate the button to quickly open up the cockpit. And thus, this leads me to the present. 

If I were to seemingly “accidently” open up the cockpit in the middle of space, who could blame me? After all, I was just a clueless highschool student! And since the Princess thought of me this way she quickly gave away her helmet. And now, I must wait for her to suffocate in space. However, my genius has not stopped here. After a quick observation of her speaking patterns I was able to determine which part of the planet she grew up on. I quickly was able to observe that in her family it was tradition that, if the heir to the throne died, instead of the next in line getting the throne, the significant other would succeed to the throne.

So as the Princess suffocated before me, I slipped on the ring I had bought to give to Tatsumi. I reached out and moved my finger to the exhaust engines behind the robot to burn on the intergalactic empire symbol on it. I then pressed the red hot ring to the Princess so that her finger prints stayed on the ring. 

“Flawless.” 

The Princess’ now motionless body floated out of the robot, leaving me alone in the robot. It brings me back to the days of stealing vehicles. However there was a drastic change, I used to fail at driving things…..not anymore.

I laughed as the many stars zoomed past me. I would be king in no time flat. And no one could stop me. 

As the robot zoomed through space I looked at the dashboard, useless things popped by my eyes until I saw something of a small bit of interest for me. An IQ test. I always wanted to take one of these, but I never had a chance.

Easy question after easy question. Never knew this was supposed to be a kids IQ test…. Alright…. Last question. Hmph simple. Annnnd done. Hmmmm let’s look at these results-

“Huh? 5k IQ!? Didn’t even know that was possible, guess I’m just that smart.” 

And thus began the reign of the most powerful King of the intergalactic empire.
