Kazuki quickly learned that the first rule of Saitama Academy was simple: Don't stand out. It was whispered among students like a sacred mantra, but standing out was the last thing on Kazuki’s mind. As he navigated the crowded hallways, he couldn't help but feel like a fish out of water. The halls were decorated with banners extolling the virtues of the school government, each more oppressive than the last.
“Keep your head down, and don’t attract the Principal’s attention,” Yumi had warned him. Her name was Yumi, and she seemed to know everyone and everything about this place. Kazuki had latched onto her quickly, eager for guidance in this confusing new environment.
The cafeteria was bustling, a cacophony of voices filling the air. Kazuki followed Yumi to a table in the back corner, where a few other students sat. They looked up as he approached, curiosity dancing in their eyes.
“Guys, this is Kazuki,” Yumi announced, gesturing toward him. “He’s new here, so be nice!”
“Nice to meet you, Kazuki!” said Haruto, a bespectacled boy with an infectious smile. “Welcome to our little corner of rebellion!”
Kazuki raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Rebellion?”
“Yeah!” Haruto leaned in, excitement shining in his eyes. “There are a lot of us who don’t like how the school is run. We’re trying to make a difference, one small step at a time.”

Kazuki felt a flicker of hope ignite within him. “What do you mean? How can I help?”
“First, learn the lay of the land,” Yumi said, her tone turning serious. “Every student here has a role to play in the government’s game. Find out what you’re good at, and then we’ll see how to use it.”
Kazuki nodded, determination coursing through him. He was no stranger to standing up for what was right, and if he could help dismantle this oppressive system, he would.
As the days went by, Kazuki found himself falling into a routine. He attended classes filled with mind-numbing lectures, all while secretly plotting with Yumi, Haruto, and Mei, a shy girl with a knack for illusion magic. They met in the hidden garden—a sanctuary where they could plan their next moves away from the watchful eyes of the school government.
But it wasn’t easy. The Principal’s spies were everywhere, and the fear of punishment loomed over every student. Kazuki quickly learned to navigate the treacherous waters of Saitama Academy, adapting to the rules while secretly plotting their rebellion.
One afternoon, while they were gathered in the garden, Kazuki couldn’t help but voice his concerns. “What if we get caught? The Principal has eyes everywhere.”
Yumi crossed her arms defiantly. “That’s why we need to be smart about this. We can’t let fear control us. If we don’t take action, nothing will change!”
Haruto nodded in agreement. “And we can use your abilities to our advantage. You have the power to manipulate time and space; it could give us the edge we need.”
Kazuki felt a thrill at their faith in him. He had never thought his powers would be used for something greater than himself. But it also filled him with trepidation. He needed to learn control over his abilities if they were going to make any headway.
As they continued to strategize, Kazuki’s determination grew. This was more than just a school fight; it was a battle for freedom and a chance to reclaim the happiness they all deserved.
