Can the Police Academy Overachiever Stop Overachieving?

This is a first-person collection of comedic shorts. If that doesn’t work for you, don’t force yourself to read it!!! [This story will go premium on 11/13, so if you’ve been waiting for more chapters to build up, remember to catch up beforehand!!!] Protagonist: Stop overworking yourselves, I’m begging you! Protagonist: Give an ordinary, failing student a chance to survive! Protagonist: I’m talking about you! The Police Academy Five! 1. A lighthearted collection of shorts to lift your mood, inspired by random bursts of inspiration. 2. The protagonist is the snarky commentator and the one who gets picked on. 3. The protagonist is firmly on the good side, with no secret identities, fake deaths, or other strange shenanigans. 4. If I manage to write a rescue arc, I’ll save them… 5. Silly, funny story. Don’t overthink it. 6. The characters reflect my personal interpretations, so be warned. [Upcoming story in the same series: “Can the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Workaholics Please Take It Easy?”] Protagonist: Back at the academy, the Police Academy Five were all competing to be the biggest workaholic… Protagonist: Now I’m at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. This is where I’ll shine! … Protagonist: Why did the Bomb Disposal Unit defuse fifteen bombs this month, while the First Investigation Division handled sixty cases? Protagonist: Does that make any sense??? 1. The prequel is “Can the Police Academy Workaholics Please Take It Easy?” For the best experience, read it before this story. 2. A lighthearted collection of shorts to lift your mood. Just have fun with this silly, funny story, and don’t get hung up on the plot. 3. The protagonist is firmly on the good side, with no secret identities, undercover work, or fake deaths. The Police Academy crew’s deaths happen in the prequel, and they barely appear in the main plot. 4. Curacao will probably die in this story too. The familiar butterfly effect is at work. 5. Lots of familiar Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers will appear. Enjoy! 6. The characters reflect the author’s personal interpretations, so be warned about OOC. 7. This story came about because some readers said my stories were too short and left them wanting more. It’s just to prove I can write something longer :( [Here’s the blurb for another story: “I Keep Guessing the Wrong Protagonist”] Furukawa Kyoya, a ghost who has been dead for two years, gets bound to a system one day. System: Ta-da! If you can guess who the Chosen One of this world is and help them defeat the forces of evil, Host, your wish will come true! Furukawa: Got it! Furukawa: Hey, System, doesn’t Hiromitsu seem so much like a protagonist? He’s kind, considerate, generous, has a brilliant older brother, and is surrounded by reliable friends! System: Hmm… sounds more like the second male lead (thinking). Wouldn’t Furuya seem more like the protagonist? Furukawa: This isn’t some cheesy romance. The protagonist should be the right choice. System: You make a good point! (suddenly enlightened) One day, the rookie System finally receives the script that was sent late. Its title is “Detective Conan.” System: ??? By then, Host has long since decided that the Police Academy crew are the protagonists. He’s become like a brother to them and is even plotting how to bring down the evil forces at the liquor company. System: …Host, here’s a hint: the protagonist is a child. Furukawa: Huh? Then it must be little Mitsuhiko! Everyone loves a protagonist who grows up! System: That’s completely wrong, come on! Notes: 1. The protagonist is firmly on the good side, with no secret identity or undercover plotline. 2. The protagonist is dead, a ghost, and wants to find out who killed him. 3. The protagonist makes his own dark jokes, such as taking his head off. The Police Academy crew will learn he’s dead. 4. The Morizuka case won’t happen because the protagonist intervenes. He becomes childhood friends with Morofushi and Furuya. 5. The story begins when Hiromitsu is in elementary school. The police academy storyline comes later. 6. The Police Academy crew will die, along with some other characters the author likes. Be warned. 7. The characters reflect the author’s personal interpretations, so be warned about OOC. Theme: We make our own fate through our efforts.
