A test with a perfect score of 100, and he gets a score just a little above average. A long-distance run with a perfect time of 3 minutes and 20 seconds, and he barely scrapes by. He has a perfectly ordinary neighbor kid, Sawada Tsunayoshi, and a classmate who skips school and occasionally lets him stretch his arms and legs, Hibari Kyoya.
Hibari: Wake up. No ordinary person can fight me.
Nearly all the candidates for the tenth-generation Vongola boss perished in the Cradle Incident. Only the frozen Xanxus and the gravely wounded Rottura remained. Sadly, like a name shattered beyond repair, he too ended up in pieces all over the floor.
Rumor had it that Xanxus's resentment over wanting to become the tenth-generation boss had turned him into a vengeful spirit, while Rottura was softhearted and kept saying, right up to the very end, that it wasn't Nanxus's fault.
Xanxus was the only candidate left for the position of tenth-generation Vongola boss.
Hearing the rumors around him, Hoshino Yuichi closed his book and walked away as if he hadn't heard a thing. After all, an ordinary person wouldn't know about the Vongola or Xanxus.
Xanxus: Wake up, trash. You aren't ordinary.
Invited by an online friend to visit Yokohama, he happened to stumble upon a gang shootout. Heart pounding, he rushed in and dragged his friend and her companion out of the scene. Watching the two of them bicker and curse at each other, Hoshino worriedly escorted them home. He never expected the head of the household to be someone he knew from the past.
Online friend, Mr. Nakahara: Wake up. You aren't ordinary.
The friend's companion: Mm-hm, mm-hm. You're a kind, ordinary person.
Mr. Mori also gave Hoshino a slight smile, agreeing that he was ordinary.
Overjoyed, he ignored the online friend's expression and ran off with a happy little bounce.
As a student whose parents were always away on business and who had nothing to do at home, getting a part-time job was perfectly ordinary, right? He got a job playing an NPC at a horror attraction. Every day, he just had to scream and, according to the plot, help the players deal with the little ghosts following them. This time, he invited a white-haired friend he'd known for ages.
Gojo Satoru: Wake up. Nobody takes exorcising cursed spirits as a part-time job.
Invited by an online friend to have fun at the beach, he was suddenly confronted by a group of thugs. Thinking that ladies should go first, he told the young girl to find a way to escape while he stayed behind to cover her. He narrowly escaped with his life.
Amanai Riko: Wake up. No ordinary person could survive an attack from someone with a Heavenly Restriction! And no ordinary person could keep up with Gojo Satoru's movements, holding hands and beating people up together!
After several turbulent years, everyone's lives had finally settled down. His parents, who had been away on business for years, came home. Looking at his mother, complete with a fluffy pair of ears and a tail just like his own, Hoshino fell into deep thought.
All he could tell himself was: Wake up, Hoshino. Maybe you aren't ordinary.
Gojo Satoru pairing, one-on-one, main character is the bottom.
