The next day, as the sun painted the sky with a warm orange glow, Max woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed. The senzu bean had done its work, healing his bruises and reviving his energy. He knew he had to be strategic and play to his strengths in the upcoming tournament. Max had no special powers like the others, but his ability to adapt and learn was his edge.

As the students gathered in the courtyard, the headmaster announced the rules of the Nexus Tournament. It would start as one on one and then,be a battle royale, where each student would be pitted against one another, and the last one standing would receive an award that could change the course of their academic career. Max felt his stomach tighten at the thought, but he also knew that this was his chance to prove himself and maybe discover something new about his capabilities.

The tournament was not only about individual prowess but also about the bonds they had formed. Each class would fight together, and the survivors from each class would then compete against each other. The headmaster revealed that the prize was an exclusive apprenticeship with a master from any dimension of their choice. This revelation sparked a newfound determination within Max, and he knew he had to give it his all.

Training grew more intense, with students from various backgrounds sharing their knowledge. Max studied the techniques of the Huntsmen and Huntresses from RWBY, the strategic prowess of the Ultimates from Danganronpa, and the ancient wisdom of the Shinobi from Senran Kagura. Each lesson was a stepping stone to unlocking his potential, and with every passing day, he grew stronger.

Max was on the groan as he sighed....

Max:I.......hate........My Life.

Max complained as he lay on the ground, panting heavily after a particularly grueling training session.

Goku:You're doing great, Max! Just keep pushing!

Max looked up at the Saiyan, sweat trickling down his face, and forced a smile.

Max:Thanks, Goku. I just wish I had something... special.

Goku:Don't sell yourself short! You've got a heart of gold and a mind sharper than a senzu bean's leaf!

Max chuckled at the oddly apt metaphor before pushing himself to his feet. He knew that he couldn't rely on brute strength alone in this tournament. He had to be smart, had to find a way to use his surroundings and his opponents' weaknesses against them.

The days passed in a blur of sparring matches and strategy sessions. Max observed every student, every move they made, and every time they opened up about their fears and aspirations. He studied them, learning who was quick to anger, who was overconfident, and who had a soft spot for their friends. It was like he was piecing together a puzzle, and with each piece, he felt a little more prepared for the battles to come.

As the tournament grew closer, the tension in the air grew thick. The students whispered about possible opponents and the rumored dangers of the Nexus Tournament. Some spoke of previous champions and the feats they had performed to claim victory. Max listened intently, his eyes searching for any clue that could give him an edge.

One evening, as the moon cast long shadows across the training grounds, Max found himself alone with Ruby, the crimson-haired Huntress from Remnant.

Ruby:You know, Max...I believe in you.

Max:Thanks, Ruby. I just hope I don't disappoint everyone.

Ruby:You won't. You've got something none of us do.

Curiosity piqued, Max asked her what she meant.

Ruby:You're from a world that's ordinary,sure but you found a way to help us Improve,That's why your class leader.

Her words hit home, reminding Max of the unique perspective he brought to the academy. Despite his lack of special abilities, Max had shown time and again that he could bring people together and inspire them to be better.

Max:Maybe you're right.

He nodded, a newfound determination lighting his eyes. The tournament was a chance to prove himself, not just to his classmates but to himself. As the sun set on the training day, Max retreated to try and meditate As he thought...

Max:'If i DO Have potential.......i just need to find it'

he begins to meditate, focusing on the energy that flows through him and the environment around him. His mind wanders to the various powers and strategies he's learned from his classmates. He sees images of Goku's Kamehameha, Ruby's Crescent Rose, and Akko's Shiny Arc in his mind's eye. He feels the power of their abilities, but something is missing. Max opens his eyes and looks around, realizing that the true power lies in the bonds they've formed.

The next morning, Max gathers his classmates for a surprise announcement. He shares his revelation about unity and the importance of their collective strength. The group shares a moment of camaraderie, each member nodding in agreement. They know that in this tournament as well as the battle royale, they'll have to rely on each other like never before.

Training sessions become more coordinated, with students from different dimensions forming unlikely alliances to tackle the complex challenges ahead. Max finds himself sparring with the stoic Izuku Midoriya, learning the nuances of his One for All Quirk, while also receiving guidance from the sharp-witted protags of danganronpa of deductive reasoning. The classmates from My Hero Academia, RWBY, and Fairy Tail watch with a mix of awe and skepticism, curious how Max would fare in the grand scheme of things.

The training montage that followed was a blur of sweat, tears, and determination. Max pushed himself to the brink, eager to unlock whatever hidden potential lay within. His classmates watched with a mix of admiration and anxiety as he took on challenges that would have crushed lesser spirits. Yet, Max remained undeterred, driven by the belief that he could be more than just the average guy from the real world.

Days turned into weeks, and the tournament grew ever closer. The headmaster announced that the event would be broadcast across the dimensions, with familiar faces from their respective worlds tuning in to watch. The pressure mounted, but Max's resolve grew stronger with each passing moment. He knew that this was his chance to not only survive but to prove himself worthy of standing alongside his newfound friends as Shinji Kasai asked

shinji:You think you could do that "Ultra Instinct" thing,again?

Max looked at the older male with a deadpan.

Remember,Max is from the real world and It's true,he knows of Ultra Instinct and how it works but if goku can't call upon at will,what chances Could HE have?

Max:Probably Not,Shinji.....

He said with a chuckle as the students around him laughed nervously.

Shinji:Well,at least you have the heart of a warrior!

Max nodded as he took a deep breath,his thoughts racing.

The training montage grew intense. Max was paired with a variety of partners, pushing his body and mind to the limit. He sparred with the agile Ruby, absorbing her combat instincts, and with the stoic Izuku, learning the precision of his One for All. Each match was a dance of strategy and skill, and Max grew more adept at reading his opponents' moves.

Max was shown getting beaten up By Vegeta to be a better fighter.

Vegeta:You're weak!

Max:But i'm not giving up!

Vegeta:Good,That's what i want to see.

As Max stood up after getting knocked down for the hundredth time, Vegeta smirked and said.

Vegeta:You've got potential,Kid But it's useless if you can't handle the pressure,Find a way to harness the saiyan power like you did before.

..........That was because of An Orb,max found.

The Orb was a peculiar artifact, discovered in the depths of the Nexus Academy's archives. It was One of the treasures during the class exercise. Max picked it up and used it to handle vegeta but that was then and this is now.

Max:I..........Seriously doubt i can.

Vegeta:Don't doubt yourself, Max.You have something none of us do.

Max looked at him,curious as to what he meant by that.

Vegeta:You have the heart of a true warrior, something not even I can claim.

Max felt a warmth in his heart,his spirit lifted as he nodded.

Max:Thank you,Vegeta. I'll do my best to make everyone proud.

Vegeta nodded,his stern expression giving way to a rare smile.

Vegeta:I expect nothing less.

The tournament day arrived with a palpable tension hanging in the air as the students arrived and Max spotted some people standing on the stage,he pointed out to the headmaster.

Max:Sir, There's other people down there!

headmaster:I know, let's go see them.

they all began to descend as everyone began to notice the people.

Issei:Wait,That looks like...

Rias:No doubt about it...

Midoriya:No way...that's...

Ruby:What's he doing here?!

they all landed on the stage and began looked to see the other people.

Max:MOM?!

The young woman looked at him with a warm smile that mirrored the love in his eyes.

Max's mother:Max!

She pulled him into a tight embrace, her eyes filled with joy and relief. Max had never seen his mother in a place like this before, and the sight brought him to tears.

Mrs.Carter:My precious Baby,You're Okay!I saw you fall in that potho-Wait......Why is your Hair white?

this shocked the rest of the class as they yell...

Class:IT'S NOT HIS NATURAL HAIR COLOR?!

Max turned around said no,it was originally brown like his mom's but when he got here,it was white.

Yuki Nodded at that and said it made sense as Issei said they were all overlooking something.

Jaune:And that is......?

Issei:MAX'S MOM IS A FUCKING MILF!!!!!!!

The room went silent as everyone glared at Issei,his face flushing red before everyone started laughing as Max approached Issei to beat the fuck out of him as issei was scared and said...

Issei(Timid):Please don't hurt me.

Max:Sorry but....I heard you say "Hurt me"

He said with a grin as he was about to throw a punch at Issei but The headmaster cleared his throat,bringing everyone's attention back to the task at hand as issei was relieved,he was safe.....for now.

Mrs.Carter decided to ask her son,what happened while he was here and why his classmates are cosplaying.

Max:Well mom,it's complicated but i've learned that this isn't a cosplay but their the ACTUAL Characters that they look like.

Ms.Carter was surprised and said it was impossible,they're Not Real.

Max:I know it's hard to believe but it's true. They're from different dimensions and they all have unique powers.

The classmates nodded in agreement as Goku spoke up.

Goku:He's telling the truth!......but what was that about being cosplayers.....what ever that is.

Max panicked as he didn't tell his classmates THAT Part about his reality and said it was nothing.

The headmaster:Ah,young Max is quite the enigma,aren't you?

Max nodded as he looked at his classmates who had question marks above their heads.

Mrs.Carter:Well,Max,You've always been a mystery.

Izuku excitingly said that was 143 of their classmates voted for max to be class leader!

Max's Mom was surprised by this as Max groaned still not understanding WHY They voted for him.

Mrs.Carter:You're class leader,Sweetie?

Max:Yeah,It's a long story.

Kanata took this chance to approach Max's Mom.

Kanata:So,Mrs.Carter?

Ms.Carter:It's Actually Ms.Carter....

The students looked surprised at Max's mother's interruption.

Kanata:Really?what about Mr.Carter's Father?

Max and his Mom froze at the Mention of His Father as Max scoffed as His Mother sighed before explaining.

Mrs.Carter:He's.......He left Me and Max,when our son was just 4,Max barely remembers his father but does remember enough to know what happened.

The class was shocked as Mikako kurokawa could understand as she Looked at Kokoro Mitsume before Yuki spoke to Max.

Yuki:I'm So sorry to hear about your dad,Max.

Max scoffed and said...

Max:Don't be,he's dead to me.

The room went silent before Max's mother spoke again.

Ms.Carter:Max,You don't have to be so harsh.

Max:HE ABANDONED US,MOM!I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE MAD AT HIM!!!

His mother sighs and said she knew it was hard but she's proud of the man he's become despite it. Max nodded as the headmaster announced the tournament would start soon,snapping everyone back to reality as they all looked at max,his mother looked at him with pride.

The headmaster announced that the tournament would be Starting as One On One and the remaining students will compete in a battle royale with each student fighting until only one remained. The prize was a secret, but it was said to be of great value, something that could change the course of a young warrior's life forever. The crowd grew hushed, the gravity of the situation sinking in. Even the students from Max's class, who had seen the worst of humanity and the most powerful beings, couldn't help but feel a shiver of excitement and fear as The headmaster gestured for the new comers to head to the stands to watch as the students fight.

Max looked around, his heart racing. He knew that he had to win this tournament, not just for the prize, but to prove to his classmates that he wasn't just an average guy from the real world. He had to show them that he belonged here, among the heroes and the legends and when The tournament brackets were revealed, and the first match was set.

Max looked at the board, his heart racing as he searched for his name. His eyes fell on a pairing that made his stomach drop: Max Carter versus Akane Taira as he thought....

Max:'At least,it's not someone from danganronpa who could Oneshot me like Nekomaru or sakura'

Akane looked over, her cinnamon brown eyes wide with shock and a hint of terror. Max took a deep breath and gave her a reassuring nod. They were friends, and despite the competition, he knew they'd both give it their all without holding back.

The tournament commenced with a bang as the first matches were announced. Each student's name was met with a mix of cheers and gasps from the crowd. The air was electric with anticipation, as the battles were about to begin. Max and Akane prepared as everyone was surrounded by floating platforms that made up the arena before The headmaster's voice echoed through the vast space.

Headmaster:Remember,students! This is not just about power!It's about strategy,teamwork, and courage....Show us what you've learned!

The crowd roared as the first battle cry was heard, and the fighting began. Max watched as his classmates clashed with each other, their powers lighting up the night sky. He knew that he had to keep his cool and use his brain more than his fists to win as the first fight began and that was....
