Yokohama Jujutsu High's Rules for Building a School or Destroying the World

#If I don't recruit students, I'll have to destroy the world

#Can the motion-sickness System stop showing off?

#Can my foundation expenses be reimbursed with public funds?

#Raise a rebellion under the banner of [Dooming the Original] against [A Fated Fall from Grace]

Original: Just because you're the author doesn't mean you can disown your own family! I'll get in there and change the plot myself!

No matter... what I have to pay for it.

Hoshino Nagi, with the intention of freezing the name of the stars.

But what's the point of stopping the [stars]? Common sense says that freezing the stars would bring about the destruction of the world, wouldn't it?

One minute after receiving this strange name, Nagi was told that before losing his memory, he had signed an exploitative contract with a System called [JJK], becoming the double of some kindhearted person. He had become the head of admissions, and the only staff member as well as student, at the Yokohama branch of the Jujutsu High School.

Now he had to follow [Plan B] and fill the empty old campus. Otherwise, when the countdown in the [Book] ran out, he would die because there couldn't possibly be two kindhearted Russians in the world.

P.S. The chief plan is to destroy the world.

Hoshino Nagi, a real high school student who was just about to enjoy summer vacation: ???

[Since we have the smartest students, we'll only take the best! Let's enroll the ceiling in kindergarten!]

[A red scarf that didn't come from that other time and space.]

[A roll of incredibly durable bandages that absolutely won't tear.]

[A copy of No Longer Human, the book that centers on the name.]

Which would you choose as a welcome gift for your first recruits?

The decent person, forced to cosplay, kept a poker face on the outside, but inwardly flipped the table at the atmosphere: You brain-dead System, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Couldn't you come up with a welcome gift that isn't ominous?! Get the real director and the fake screenwriter at each other's throats! The writing team's cool factor is about to hit rock bottom!!

The ordinary person who considered himself harmless, the amnesiac Hoshino, went off on a rant about the System's incompetence and inhumanity. Unbeknownst to him, the AI foundation victim was already holding a rally to call out someone's sinister (and incredibly good-looking) intentions.

A certain disqualified person who shall remain unnamed:

The first time I saw him, I knew there was something wrong with his head. Have you ever seen someone encounter a supernatural being and think about whether it would be good to eat?

...As expected, he's one of my kind!

The part-time doctor who taught him how to dissect:

Well, when I first saw him reading Erotic Night Tales while holding an organ specimen, I knew something was off...

As expected of my junior, we're a perfect match~~

The red-haired honor student, the only one who had a positive impression of him:

... (holding a proposal found in a desk drawer titled One Hundred Ways for a Character to Exit the Story Without Making the Fans Angry) ...

Hat Guy: Who on earth led Hoshino astray...

◆

How can a shy, weak, pitiful, cunning double who fears ghosts, but whom ghosts fear even more, seems like a nagging mom at first glance, but might actually be crazy, survive in a world full of weirdos and even found a jujutsu high school with an entirely different power system?

Well, that's an academic question made physical.

As for why a giant white cat, a black fox, and assorted spooky antics have appeared on the old campus, while the shadows of dark alleys invade the world of Bungo Stray Dogs...

Well... that's a story from another world.

[The world was destroyed long ago, just as you wished.]

◆

[Scene One: A Life That's 10% Transparent.]

Nagi: Yes, I know life in another world comes with plenty of restrictions. Fine, I'm broke, and the newbie System is unreliable, but why did you make my body 10% transparent?! And I have to spend my meal card to fix it?!

JJK: This is an issue with the Host's own body. To prevent others from realizing you're transparent, I recommend wearing a long autumn coat.

Nagi: It's summer right now!!!

JJK: In that case... how about using foundation to cover it up?

Nagi: Will I get reimbursed?

JJK, who was earning funds at a bar, chose to go offline.

[Scene Two: Victim of a Successful Mission!]

Nagi: Hey, Juu, I've been walking people around for ages. Why can't I find the campus?

JJK: Sorry, you haven't built the new campus yet? You can't get into the old one without a key.

Nagi: Then where's the key?

JJK: The key is the failure reward for the beginner mission... You completed the mission.

Nagi: ...A victim of a successful mission?! Where am I supposed to get the money to build a school?!

A certain private doctor whose name is unknown sends you an invitation.

[Scene Four: Recruited into the Cause.]

A retired calico cat stood on the desk: Nagi, as my final disciple, you'll serve as the safeguard for the Three-Part Structure from now on, and protect Yokohama together with those two.

Nagi: ... (smiling) ...

(I was recruiting students, wasn't I? The head of admissions just got recruited away?!)

Calico cat: Hmm, it seems you have some complaints. I heard you've been studying psychology to help those youngsters. Then I could take a part-time position as the school's counselor...

Nagi: Deal! Teacher! You're so kind! It's my great fortune to be your disciple! I swear I won't fail in my duty to protect Yokohama!

The prospective students finally had a normal teacher willing to lend his name, and they cried.

[Scene ?: A Similar [ ].]

Why did I choose that child?

...There wasn't really any reason. I was simply an incompetent mediocrity, moved by what I saw.

With eyes on the verge of tears, he spoke of a forced smile.

I just thought, what a gentle lost child he was.

Even if I couldn't understand, even if I could never forgive,

I still couldn't hate the evil of this world.

So...

Even if I couldn't live sincerely, even if I couldn't face my ordinary days with a smile,

In that long-past night, I still remembered the dawn that quietly slipped away.

That boy was the symbol of my humanity.

So I placed the turning point of opportunity in his hands, just to gain a story that would go nowhere.

As for what was gained or lost, that had nothing to do with us long ago.

...You ask who we are?

I once saw through all the world's hypocrisy. It was everywhere, yet no one ever looked back.

I pitied all living things and resented fate.

I could do anything, yet did nothing.

I sank into the world through contradiction, and found release through grief and resentment.

In the end, all I accomplished was to become a story... burdened with guilt.

#If you're interested in doubles, you can look them up.

If you don't know what they are, just think of them as personalities split off from someone?

#The male lead seems normal at first glance, but he's actually pretty crazy. He's the casually unhinged kind, with common sense.

#This story has some original settings, but I'll try to keep the characters true to the original.

Please let me know if anyone seems OOC. I'll do my best to polish things up.

#Let's enjoy the story peacefully. No fighting!

Theme: What is beautiful isn't the world, but the place you can call home because you're all there.
