The serious blurb:
What should you do when you wake up and discover you've been accepted into the Imperial Academy?
Obviously, your parents, who had planned a sweet interstellar cruise, kick you out of the house, and you set off on your studies "overjoyed."
You're a good-for-nothing who's ranked last in every class, with E-rank mental strength and physical fitness. You've never left Bingcheng, and you live in a remote star system in the Third Civilization. So how did you get into the Imperial Academy?
Tsuna: Help! Who knows? Isn't this some new kind of scam?
On the same day, the Empire's tenth-generation emperor is assassinated by rebels. His life hangs in the balance.
Secret orders leak from within the Empire: kill the mysterious heir, if one exists.
Age unknown. Appearance unknown. Name unknown.
According to rumors, the Empire's first-in-line heir will enroll at the Imperial Academy. A new round of power struggles and bloody competition is about to begin, eleven years after the greatest upheaval in Imperial history, the "Cradle Incident."
Those who have already secured their place at the center of power, hailed as the strongest generation of Guardians, will never let a new emperor interfere with their rule.
A debauched, tyrannical emperor who serves as a mere figurehead is far easier to control than a new ruler who could bring all kinds of trouble.
The heir to the Empire must die!
Tsuna, completely oblivious: ? Achoo!
"Name?"
"Tsuna."
"Identity?"
"A student at the Imperial Academy. A bottom-ranker who got picked by sheer luck."
A brief, cold laugh comes from the other end of the terminal.
Tsuna, mocked by the guy who calls himself his teacher, rubs his nose.
He doesn't yet know what a bloody yet glorious era he's about to usher in.
And it all begins by chance, when he boards the spaceship bound for the Empire.
The not-so-serious blurb:
Tsuna goes through being kidnapped, falling in with the rebels, a space pirate war, and an interstellar wanted notice, among other things, before he's forced onto the stage of power.
The Guardians before meeting Tsuna: Damn heir. Die!
The Guardians after meeting Tsuna: Okay, he's growing on me. jpg
Tsuna looks up, tears streaming down his face.
Tsuna: At first, I just wanted to go to school. I really did.
In this story, you'll find all sorts of melodramatic romance tropes, including but not limited to 590 (the domineering CEO's runaway lover), 800 (the caged canary), and 690 (the underworld boss's temporary lover)...
Content warning: Before they really get to know 27, the Guardians are a bit inhuman, so expect face-slapping, beatings, corruption, and being taught a lesson.
So, are you okay with the setup above?
If you are, then let's go!
Theme: Keep moving forward with determination, and endless possibilities will open up
