A Guide to Personality Development

If he could do it all over again, he would never let his “mother” send him to this school.

Childhood

We come from the mire,

We're singing in hell.

Slytherin (excerpt)

They fell from the sunlight, while holy angels sang ancient hymns in heaven; they were reborn in the mire, while wicked Satan whispered tempting lures in hell.

The crown fell, dust flew everywhere; ambition burned bright, and they returned to the throne.

"A basket of kisses"

"Don't smile. You'll look ugly in the photo. It's not like you're going to a wedding."

Welcome to the School for Exceptional Talents.

Now, let's play together.

"Let us play!"

God is my judge.

He judges my heinous sins, my joys and sorrows.

He says calmly, “You should have died.”

I reply, “I decide whether I live or die.”

"Among a bunch of crazies, we're the normal ones"

Adolescence

Some Bat: Get out of my Gotham!

Shi (ignoring him): You protect Gotham. I'll protect you.

"There is no contradiction between the two, my lord."

Some big-chested sweetheart: This is our responsibility as adults. It has nothing to do with children.

Shi (smiling slightly): You're worrying too much. I'm actually an adult already, sir.

Some tin can: Hey, I'm your dad. (With ulterior motives)

Shi (troubled): Really? I ended up in an orphanage because I “accidentally” killed my dad.

Some tin can: Are you kidding me??!

Some bandage-wasting contraption: Mr. Mori, look! I picked up a treasure for you!

Some lolicon: Ah, a treasure!

Shi (looking cold): Hah, men.

"I will always be her little princess"

(Do you think I don't want to leave? What's keeping me here? Well, cough, people here are so nice to talk to, and their stories are so captivating. Why would I leave? I just have to grudgingly do some missions every day, reclaim my alternate personality as soon as possible, and graduate from the school. That's all.)

Tentative worlds: 1. Marvelous Arkham

2. Super New York Adventure

3. Mayhem in Asgard

4. The Illiterate Stray Dog

5. Hot-Blooded Superpowers

(PS: I'll add more if I think of anything. Story starts in late July.)

Before you read: ① Lots of famous (?) little girls appear in this story.

② The protagonist isn't overpowered. He gets sent to school for an education from the start.

③ Some characters may be a little OOC. Don't read if that's not your thing.

④ The protagonist's values aren't the author's, but the protagonist's intelligence is the author's intelligence.

⑤ Includes gender-swapping.

⑥ Clicking on this story randomly gifts you a cutie. They might not survive until tomorrow, though (I'm not a creep, I swear).

I'll try to start on July 23!

Theme: It feels so good to be yourself, hic~
