~ Masachika Kuze ~
While Seiji was currently unconscious from the evolution, Masachika the only person who knew about said evolution couldn't help but worry about his friend, he had been secretly texting Seiji but hadn't gotten a response.
Secretly checking his phone again and seeing no response from his best friend he sighed.
Masachika looked over to the seat on his left, the seat that Seiji usually occupied but wasn't today. Coincidentally it just so happened that Alisa Kujou was looking at Seiji's seat as well.
Masachika saw the way her eyes were filled with worry anytime she looked at Seiji's seat, he also noticed that she would easily get distracted and stare out the window with a look of longing when the teacher was explaining something, it was so unlike her.
'I promised myself to never be jealous of him, but… this is just ridiculous!!' Masachika thought.
He wasn't dumb, he knew from the school festival in Junior High, Alisa went from disliking Seiji and barely speaking to him, to scolding and talking to him whenever she could. He knew Alisa liked Seiji.
'How many does this make now? Yuki, Renako, Haruna, and now Alisa? I'm pretty sure there was that Russian girl we both met when we were 10 used to like him as well…What I'd give to have half his charm.' Masachika complained.
The school bell rang out signifying that it was now Masachika's and many others favorite time of the school day, lunch. They were going to the cafeteria today since both Masachika and Takeshi didn't bring their own lunch with them.
When they settled down into their seats in the cafeteria, Hikaru brought up the obvious question, "So is Seiji really sick? Or is he making an excuse to watch anime all day again?" He asked, looking towards Masachika.
Masachika nodded, "Yeah, he said he wasn't feeling well and informed Alisa he was going home after cleaning duty." He lied, when in reality only he knew the real reason why Seiji was absent.
Takeshi then chimed in, "Speaking of Kujou, did you guys see how many times she looked at Seiji's seat?"
Masachika raised an eyebrow at his friend, "What are you a gossip girl?" He joked and Hikaru laughed with him.
"No, guys I'm serious. Isn't it weird how close they are seeing as when they first transferred Kujou couldn't stand Seiji." Takeshi continued trying to make his friends see reason.
"Yeah, now that I think about it, after the school festival in Junior High they all of a sudden grew close… Kujou would scold Seiji anytime he fell asleep in class. Hell she even let him call her by her pet name." Hikaru said curiously.
Masachika stayed quiet, he knew why the two suddenly grew closer, hell he was the reason they suddenly grew closer or rather he was part of the reason.
"Yeah! I heard that some guy called her by her pet name and she tore into him. They say that anytime they bring up Kujou around him he starts bawling his eyes out." Takeshi said, not knowing to either laugh or feel bad for the poor guy.
"I heard that rumor too. However, I think it's over exaggerated." Hikaru said before looking at Masachika who had been strangely quiet throughout this whole conversation.
"Masachika, you're Seiji's childhood friend, right? He tells you everything, did he tell you how he and Kujou got so close?" He asked.
Masachika swallowed before he spoke, "Well-" He began but was interrupted by Takeshi's shouting.
"Speaking of Kujou! Look, she's here with the other student council members too!" His shout made all the attention turn towards the cafeteria door where Alisa, Yuki, and Alisa's older sister Maria walked in.
Masachika sighed in relief, it would've felt awkward telling the two of them about a relationship that he honestly had no part in…
The three student council members talked for a while before Maria broke off heading towards a table with a group of people waving excitedly at her.
Maria presents a striking and distinct physical appearance, markedly contrasting with her younger sister Alisa's ethereal beauty. She has shoulder-length, wavy hair, a soft shade of light brown, and chocolate coloured almond shaped eyes.
"Man, what I'd give to even be friends with one of them…" Takeshi said dreamily looking at as the two first year princesses approached their table…wait, what?
"Masachika, you wouldn't mind if we sat with you guy's, right?" Yuki asked, now in her prim and proper princess act.
Masachika stopped midway from placing more ramen in his mouth before nodding slowly, "Yeah, we don't mind. Right, guys?" He said looking at his two friends.
"Oh, it would be my pleasure!" Takeshi said, quickly scooting over to make room for the two.
Hikaru just nodded and continued eating his food slowly, Hikaru had always been a bit uncomfortable around girls. No one knows why he is as he never elaborated on it and they never dug into it.
It's not that he dislikes them or anything. On multiple occasions he has stated to want a girlfriend and with his looks he could easily get one but doesn't.
The table was quiet for a while before Yuki broke the silence, "Oh, Masachika, it seems we have ordered the same thing." She said looking at Masachika's bowl of spicy tofu ramen.
Masachika looked at Yuki weirdly, it was weird that she pointed out they had the same thing after all the both of them were big fans of all things spicy, Seiji on the other hand hated spicy things he was more so a sweets enjoyer.
"Uh, yeah… though It would've been better had it been a tad bit spicy." Masachika said before eating more of his ramen.
"Hmm…It seems as though Seiji is absent despite leaving school before us, he didn't skip school did he? No, he's not that irresponsible… Well that is too bad he won't be able to enjoy today's lunch with us." Yuki said.
Once Seiji's name was uttered from Yuki's mouth and how he left before them this morning caught Alya's attention. "This morning? You speak as if you and Seiji are close and the way you framed that sentence makes it seem like you were at his house this morning…" She asked skeptically.
To this Yuki just smiled, "Why of course we're close, after all Seiji and I are childhood friends." She said with the sweetest smile she could muster at the moment.
"Ahem!" Masachika cleared his throat, catching the attention of Yuki who looked like she had just remembered something.
"Oh, yes. Masachika was also included in our childhood." She stated more so as an afterthought.
Masachika's eyebrow twitched, "Why thank you Yuki for adding me as an afterthought…" He said flatly.
While Masachika and Yuki were bickering back and forth, the other three occupants at the table were all in shock at Yuki's casual reveal.
Alya upon hearing that Yuki and Seiji were childhood friends felt the universe collapsed in on her. Takeshi as always was seething, muttering things about how Raiju's like Seiji should explode.
Hikaru took the reveal better than the other two, he was mostly shocked at how many popular girls Seiji knew, he wouldn't be surprised if Seiji and Maria knew each other at this point.
Alya soon snapped out of her stupor, "Childhood friends as in, the two of you met in elementary school?" She asked hesitantly, a little scared of the answer.
And the answer Yuki gave was indeed one she had been afraid of, "Nope! Even before that. For as long as I can remember Seiji has always been a part of my life, right Masachika?"
Masachika once again twitched from the sudden inclusion "…Yeah, our parents were close so they introduced us to each other early on in our life- are you okay Kujou?" He said before looking at the now emotionally deflated Alya.
"Y-Yeah, just had a small thought is all." She said from her slumped position on the table. At this everyone at the table had the same thought, 'What kind of small thoughts gets you like this.'
Takeshi looked at Yuki, a mischievous smirk appeared on his face, "Uh, if you don't mind Suou could you tell me any embarrassing stories about Seiji when he was young? Like if he was bad at anything or got in trouble a lot?"
Both Hikaru and Masachika sweatdropped, 'He's not even trying to hide it.' They thought.
Yuki put on a thinking face before smiling politely at Takeshi causing him to blush, "Not that I can think of, Seiji has always been perfect in anything and everything he does, though…" she said trailing off before shaking her head, she had almost revealed an ugly jealous side of herself.
She was going to say that he attracts a lot of attention from the opposite sex, too much attention if you asked her, but stopped herself. Then she changed the subject completely ignoring Takeshi's downtrodden face at not getting any sort of dirt on Seiji.
"Speaking of Seiji, it seems as though he went back home. Masachika, would you happen to know what happened to him?" She asked.
Masachika nodded, "Yeah, Kujou here noticed that Seiji wasn't feeling well so she suggested he go home while she would inform a teacher. Right, Kujou?" He asked, still looking at the emotionally deflated Alya.
But like magic, probably after hearing herself and Seiji's name in the same sentence she piped up completely ignoring Masachika's question
"Верно, я всё ещё могу наведаться к нему домой после школы и стать ближе к нему. Я ещё не проиграл! (Right, I can still visit his home after school and get closer to him. I haven't lost yet!)" She muttered to herself in Russian looking challengingly at Yuki.
"Uh, Kujou, are you okay? You stared at me all of a sudden?" Yuki asked, playing the worried classmate.
Kujou finally noticed that she was still in the cafeteria at a table with four other people, one of them being the person she issued a challenge to. "Oh, uhm! I-I'm fine just…surprised is all." She said awkwardly before hastily drinking her juice box.
Though what she didn't know was that there was one person who had understood what she had just said, Masachika sitting next to her looked at Alya in what could only be described as stunned before shaking his head silently chuckling to himself.
'The type of girls you attract, Seiji…they're all unique in some way.' He thought shaking his head, he half envied Seiji, and half pitied him.
~ Seiji Fujiwara ~
"Ugh…I regret EVER doing that, it felt like I died a thousand times." Seiji groaned out from the bed.
He opened his eyes and the first thing he noticed was his vision. Seiji had always had 20/20 vision, but the evolution card bumped it up significantly, "Holy shit, I can see everything."
While Seiji was looking around with his new found enhanced vision, Ai was inspecting Seiji and his new looks. While there wasn't any significant change, he looked like he grew a few inches and his body was fuller along with looking a bit more mature. His eyes and hair also seemed a little brighter than usual.
"Ahem!" Ai cleared her throat, catching Seiji's attention. There was something she needed to inform him of involving the call she had with his mother in his body.
"Uh, Seiji something happened while you were…unconscious…" she started making Seiji finally sit up to look at her.
"Like you said, one of the conditions was for me to take over your body if your mom calls while you were unconscious, and I did. I possessed your body, answered the phone and I acted like you just as we practiced, but…" she paused, still a bit shaken from Sakura finding out that Seiji was not Seiji.
"But?" Seiji urged her to continue.
Ai took a breath before she continued, "She recognized that I wasn't you…" she finished.
This floored Seiji, his mother not recognizing him despite all the practice he and Ai did to perfectly imitate him, granted it was about an hour and a half of practicing but Seiji could attest that it was a good imitation.
"Wait, Wait, Wait…go over the whole conversation you had with her again, maybe there was something you did wrong?" He said.
Ai nodded and went over the whole conversation even redoing and saying the things she did while speaking to his mother. After she finished, Seiji was quiet for a moment, 'How come she could tell that it was Ai and not me?' He thought.
He thought before his eyes widened 'Could she be somehow related to the group chat?' He thought before immediately shaking his head. 'No, she was gone days before it appeared…'
'Does she have some type of supernatural power? Could my mom be a goddess? She certainly has the beauty of one…' He once again shook his head the moment it entered. 'She couldn't be, if she was a goddess she wouldn't have struggled to get pregnant in the first place.'
Then he came to one single conclusion, a conclusion that made him sweat drop: 'My mom might be the strongest son-con in history…'
After concluding that had to be the answer, he looked at Ai, "Nevermind that. My mom is just…weird. But there's a 99.9% chance she's on the way home right now…probably will be back in the morning." He said.
At that Ai shook after her first experience with Seiji's mom OVER THE PHONE mind you, she doesn't think she'd want to experience her in person.
"Which would also mean that she's going to find out about the Multiversal Group Chat." Seiji said, but he didn't look at all bothered by that prospect at all, Ai noticed.
"You…You don't look bothered by it?" She said suddenly.
"By what?"
"By the fact that your mom is going to find out about the app."
Seiji shrugged, "I don't mind those closest to me finding out about the Group chat though. I mean what would be the point in hiding something like this to them?" He said casually.
"But wouldn't you want them to not worry about you?" Ai asked genuine curios.
"I mean yeah of course I want them to not worry about me, but at the same time something as big as this? You just can't hide forever, I mean look at me there's no doubt that I went through a big change physically and since we don't live in a fiction, I can't just blame this on puberty and hope they take that answer."
"I see…" Ai went quiet for a bit before she spoke up again, "I think I understand you a bit more Seiji Fujiwara." She said with a mysterious smile on her face.
Seiji smiled back at her, "What does that even mean."
~ Seiji POV ~
After that talk I had with Ai, I noticed that my room smelled like a dirty gym locker room that hasn't been cleaned in YEARS.
So after a long hot bath and a deep cleaning of my room, I learned from Ai that black goo escaped from my pores and I was literally smoking hot, so hot in fact that my skin turned red and once again I was literally steaming.
"Oh, yeah I forgot to ask. How was possessing my body?" I asked Ai as I put on some clothes, a pair of shorts and an oversized shirt that now seemed a little tight fitted.
As explained from the description of the card, my body went through an evolution, meaning I grew in height, and muscle mass so I could no longer fit my previous clothes aside from a few oversized hoodies and shirts.
"It felt…weird? Not because I'm not used to possessing a physical body but because I was possessing a guy's body…I'm a girl." She replied sitting on the edge of my sheetless bed.
"Really? I wasn't aware of that fact." I sarcastically remarked.
She promptly ignored me and walked up to me, then she pouted out of nowhere, "You really did get taller…tch." She said looking up even more than she had to last time.
Yup, I grew a whole 4 inches, my previous height of 5'10 shot up to 6' 2. Also… "Did you just click your tongue at me?"
Ai, once again ignored my question and asked me another one "Where are we going? You just started getting dressed all of a sudden…" she asked.
"As you pointed out, I got taller and have more muscles than before so most of my previous clothes no longer fit me. I have about 2 and a half hours until school lets out and Masachika, Yuki, and Alya come over. So I decided in those 2 and a half hours I'm going to shop for a couple of outfits and head to my family's private gym to test the limits of my physical abilities."
"You have a private gym?" Ai asked, it was weird that the private gym part was the thing she got out of all of that.
"Uh, yeah? I'm a Fujiwara, one of the largest Japanese conglomerates in Japan… and not to brag but even before this evolution I was quite fit." I told her.
"I see, can I help with the outfits?" Ai asked me excitedly.
I chuckled seeing her look excited about helping me choose outfits, "Sure, though I'm only going to get a couple outfits, I'll just order the rest online along with school clothes."
After an hour and a half of clothes shopping thanks to Ai always changing her mind once she saw another outfit, we finally made it to the private gym my mom had bought, I finally put my physical abilities to the test.
And to say I was shocked by the results was an understatement.
"Holy shit!" That was Ai as she watched me lift about 10 tons.
"It seems this is my limit." I said, but it was still quite a lot. Now that I think about it, wasn't Spider-man's baseline 10 tons? Or was it more I could never really tell there was always different measurements for his strength.
Next was speed, and once again Ai was left in shock, I could casually run about 30-60 mph without getting tired, but my top speed? 130-200! I can run as fast as a car, no I'm faster than most everyday street cars!
At the end of the physical test we had about 30 minutes left until school let out. I was sweating, not much but it was still there as we stayed there not even an hour, I'll have to come back tomorrow if I wanna control this strength and not accidentally break anything.
"Other than better eyes, strength, and speed, what else did evolving get you?" Ai asked me, and I just noticed she had somehow changed my outfit to a workout outfit.
"…when did you change your outfit? No HOW did you change your outfit?"
The response I got was a shrug, what the hell? Was it because she's a ghost? But I shook my head not wanting to begin to wrap my head around the enigma that is Ai Hoshino.
"Well anyway, about your question. From the full description of the evolution card, other than better physical capabilities, I will always stay youthful even past my prime."
I can no longer get sick from colds or fevers although I can still get things like cancer but since my cells are stronger it's highly unlikely I'll ever get it. Even if there's a small chance that I do, my body will treat it as if it's another cold or fever." I explained, and Ai looked amazed.
"Wow, so you're like…superman!" She said excitedly.
"Super- What, no! I'm more like- never mind you wouldn't get it anyway. Let's go home." I'm not even gonna explain to her, she wouldn't get it.
