YuYu Transfer Student: Love Comedy Battlefield with That Guy from Spirit World - The All-School Assembly Marks the Beginning of a Battlefield — A Flying Confession and the Fiery Ex-Boyfriend (?) Arrive

Golden Week was over. A week had passed since that incident in the infirmary. I still didn't really understand Kurama. That creepy eyeball, Soranome, was still floating in the sky like always. But the biggest change was— "Good morning, Yuusuke-kun!" —the complete lack of personal space from this girl, who'd been lying in ambush in front of my apartment since the crack of dawn. "Whoa!? Why the hell are you here!?" "I thought we could walk to school together! You see, I couldn't see you at all during Golden Week, so I was practically collapsing from Yuusuke-kun deficiency!" Botan happily latched onto my arm. *Fwoosh.* A sweet scent tickled my nose. "T-too close! Back off!" "I don't want to. After all, in my past life, I was always by Yuusuke-kun's side. This much is normal." "It's not normal! And quit it with the past life stuff! It's embarrassing!" My face was burning. I tried to shake her off, but Botan just hugged my arm tighter. (*Damn, she's freakishly strong...*) "Besides, I have to protect Yuusuke-kun." Her voice suddenly turned serious. "That eyeball was floating above the school the whole time during Golden Week. Like it was waiting for something. So, starting today, I'll be even closer—" "Fine, fine! Do whatever you want!" I gave up and started walking. Botan bounced along beside me. The other students on the way to school started whispering when they saw us. "There goes Yuusuke with that transfer student glued to him again." "He's totally whipped." "He used to be a loner, and now he's gone full normie." "I'm not a normieeeee!" I yelled, but Botan followed up (?) with a smile. "We are normies! Because we're a fated pair!" "You... please, just shut up..." I seriously considered making a run for the infirmary right then and there. The all-school assembly was held in the gymnasium. The principal's speech was long. "Ahem—now that Golden Week has ended, I imagine you are all becoming accustomed to life in the new school year—" So sleepy. Next to me, Botan was staring at me with sparkling eyes. (*She's so close...*) I deliberately shifted half a step sideways. Botan shifted half a step too. I shifted another step. She shifted too. "Yuusuke-kun, running is futile." "I ain't running..." Our classmates were giggling. —That's when it happened. *BAAAANG!!* The gymnasium doors were violently thrown open. "—!" Everyone's eyes snapped to the entrance at once. Standing there was a short male student wearing a black gakuran. His hair was spiked up, with only his bangs slightly longer, concealing his left eye. Sharp, reddish-purple eyes. He scanned the gymnasium with a glare like a beast sizing up its prey. Behind him, countless silhouettes. More than twenty guys, all blatantly violating the dress code, lined up like a wall. "Th-that's the Tekkaren..." "Oh crap, why are they here?" The teachers tried to move. But the Tekkaren guys swiftly stepped forward, forming a human wall. "Hey, you lot! What's the meaning of this!" A teacher shouted. But the short male student ignored him. Expressionless, he stepped up onto the stage. The principal's eyes went wide. "Y-you are—" *Yoink.* The student snatched the microphone from the principal. A low, cold voice echoed through the gymnasium. "Where is Urameshi Yuusuke?" A stir spread through the crowd. "Yuusuke?" "He said Urameshi." "First that transfer student, now a delinquent?" My classmates all turned to look at me at once. "Hah!? Why me!?" My voice rang out in the gymnasium. In an instant, the male student on stage fixed his glare on me. His reddish-purple eyes narrowed. "So you're Urameshi Yuusuke." He pointed at me. "You've got a weak-looking face. After school, behind the school building. Fight me." The gymnasium froze. I had no idea what was going on, so all I could do was tilt my head. "Fight... fight you in what!? I've never even met you!" The male student on stage—Hiei—twisted the corner of his mouth slightly. And then. *Flutter.* He leaped down from the stage. His landing was silent, almost like a cat. Before I knew it, he was right in front of me. Point-blank range. His reddish-purple eyes glared intently at me. "I remember. In my past life, you were the only one I lost to. I came to settle that debt." It was a voice meant only for me. A voice that mixed anger with something else. Something like... obsession. "Past life...?" That's when it happened. "Stop it!!" Botan leaped in front of me. The smile had vanished from her face. Instead, she glared at Hiei with an utterly furious expression. "You... don't tell me... from back then! That flame youkai!" Hiei turned his gaze to Botan for the first time. "...Botan. So you're still alive." "Of course I am! More importantly, why are you here!? And reincarnated as a human, no less—" "None of your business." Hiei ignored Botan and looked at me again. "Just fight me. I'll confirm for myself whether you've gotten weak." "Stop it! Yuusuke-kun's power still isn't stable! A fight in that condition—" "Shut up. This is between me and Yuusuke. Stay out of it." "I will not stay out of it! I've decided to protect Yuusuke-kun!" Botan reached behind her back. In her right hand, a glowing oar materialized. A spirit tool. Hiei also raised his right hand. *Whoosh.* A small flame flickered to life in his palm. "You want to do this?" "You will stand down!" The gymnasium erupted into chaos. "What's that!?" "Fire!?" "An oar!?" "Oh crap!" The teachers were shouting. "Stop it!! Stop right now or you'll be suspended!!" The two of them didn't seem to hear the teachers at all. They were about to clash—at that moment. "I said stop!! Both of you, Botan, and you too!!" I threw myself between them. "Yuusuke-kun!?" "...Tch." I spread my arms wide, stopping them both. "Fights, past lives! I don't get what the hell's going on! But you can't do this here! You'll drag innocent people into it!" Botan's oar wavered slightly. Hiei's flame flickered too. —In that instant. *KEEEEEEEEEN...* An ear-splitting high-pitched sound echoed throughout the gymnasium. "Wh-what...?" Outside the window, everything suddenly turned yellow. Everyone looked at the windows. Through the gymnasium's large windows, the sky beyond the schoolyard was visible. In the sky— A gigantic eyeball was floating. "Soranome...!" It was far more massive than before. It had to be over thirty meters in diameter. Its amber iris was contracting and dilating at a terrifying speed. Countless crack-like patterns surfaced on its surface, all of them moving like tiny eyeballs. "Gross..." The next moment, the entire school was enveloped in a yellow, semi-transparent membrane. A barrier. "Huh... what is this..." "My body... I feel so weak..." Students collapsed one after another. Teachers, the Tekkaren guys, everyone was the same. "Guh... ugh..." I felt something being drained from my body too. (*Is it... absorbing our spirit energy...?*) "This is... a Spirit Energy Absorption Barrier!? It's the work of the Weisen Ganka-shuu!" Botan shouted, her face pale. Hiei clicked his tongue. "Tch... that eyeball was waiting for all of us to gather." The barrier glowed even brighter. Faint light was drawn up from the bodies of the fallen students, flowing toward the Soranome outside the window. My legs trembled. "Everyone... because of me..." Botan had said it. Because my spirit energy had awakened, youkai would gather. So then—this was all my fault. "If you've got time to whine, get up." Hiei grabbed me by the collar. "I'll buy time. You do something about that eyeball bastard." "Do something... how am I supposed to—" "How should I know! It's your damn specialty, isn't it!" Hiei thrust his right hand forward. *WHOOSH!!* A flame, far larger than before, swirled in his hand. "That's reckless! You alone can't—" "I don't need concern from the likes of you!" Hiei dashed toward the barrier. "HAAAAAAAAH!!" The flames crashed against the barrier. *DOOOOON!!* But— The barrier didn't budge. On the contrary, the flames were extinguished by a powerful repelling force, and Hiei's body was sent flying. "Guh...!" He slammed against the wall and fell to the ground. "Hiei!" "...Not done yet." He stood up, wiping blood away. A second time. Blown away again. A third time. "GUAAAAAHH!!" A thunderous roar. Hiei smashed a large hole in the wall and stopped moving. Blood spread across the floor. "Hiei!!" I tried to run to him—in that instant. "Yuusuke-kun!!" Botan shoved me aside. A tentacle of light extending from the barrier coiled around her body. "Ugh... aaaah...!" "Botan!?" I could see the spirit energy being drained from Botan's body. Her complexion grew paler by the second. But she smiled. "...Run... Yuusuke-kun..." Botan collapsed, strengthless. "Botan..." I walked to her side on trembling legs. I shook her shoulder. "No way... wake up..." She didn't move. Her face was pale, not even a twitch. Hiei was still down. Students collapsed all over the gymnasium. No one moved. A deathly silence. Outside the window, the Soranome glowed even brighter, the barrier pulsating. "Dammit... dammit..." I stood up. I raised my trembling right hand. I pointed my index finger at the Soranome. (*Come out... come out...!*) But— My fingertip only glowed faintly. Nothing came out. "Why..." I was scared. Confused. I couldn't gather my spirit energy properly. Old memories flashed back in my head. Memories from childhood, of when I couldn't save my best friend. Back then too—I couldn't do anything. Again. Even though the people I need to protect are right in front of me. I can't do anything. "Again... I couldn't do anything..." I crumbled to my knees. "Dammit... dammit... UWAAAAAAAHHH!!" I screamed. The tears wouldn't stop. A cry of despair echoing through the gymnasium. As if on cue, the barrier shone even more intensely. Yuusuke didn't notice the two shadows standing silently in the corner of the gymnasium.
