You die, but for some mysterious reason, you were reborn with an overwhelming amount of power in the exact same world. Some time while trying desperately to fit in, you meet Arthur, who stands out so incredibly that you stop thinking about fitting in. You befriend him and somehow, you end up being the only one that he's ever looked behind his shoulder for.

You got me a new hyperfixation so my apologies for making this so long <3

-🜾-

It's one thing to wake up after death. It's another thing to wake up as a baby.

You stare at your parents.

HOLY SHIT, MOM'S HOT??? DAD???? HOW HOT DO I LOOK????

Your first words? Hot, and you stand by the fact that you're proud of that.

But growing up hot sets you apart from others; Awakening your mana at three pushes you even more apart. Oh, did I mention that you happen to be a quadra elemental???

You had grown up praised for your looks, praised for your power, but no one ever approached you without ill-intention.

You just wanted to fit in and not die like before.

Then, you enter the academy.

Xyrus academy is known for its talent and riches.

Fitting in should be easy.

Scratch that; Fitting in is impossible.

On the first day of school, Professor Geist nearly kills a princess.

"That's enough," You mumble, and you block the professor's flame ability. The blue flame explodes in the sphere you made, and you glare at him. "Professor, you're acting like a child with no manners."

"YOU!"

You turn around and see that another student had managed to get the princess to safety.

"I'll take over from here," You wave the two students behind you, and the two are seated with a snap of your fingers. "Shall we continue, professor?"

You watch one of the professor's veins pop, and you dodge his attacks toward you.

"Orb," You drain the air of water, and a sphere of the liquid surrounds the professor, neutralizing his blue flame. You watch as the professor slowly runs out of breath. You hear the whispers. "drop."

The water cascades down the air, and the professor gets washed outside of bounds. "Lovely lesson you taught, professor," You smile, jabbing your foot on his chest, holding his whole body down. The bell rings in the background as you crack another one of his ribs. "It's a shame it was motivated by the wrong things."

"You- You! I won't forget this!"

You walked out of class without looking back, unintentionally catching someone else's eyes.

Then, the principal calls for you.

Shit.

You smile as the professor pours you a cup of tea.

"Am I... in trouble, by chance? Principal Goodsky?"

"Oh no, love," The principal smiles at you. "I was just wondering if you'd want to become a student professor here."

"H-huh?"

"You see, principal Goodsky," You sweat nervously. "I'm not exactly-"

"You called, Principal Goodsky?"

You look at the door, and you see the boy from earlier.

"Just in time, Arthur," She smiles. "Take a seat."

You scoot over as he sits next to you.

"Thanks to you, darling," she smiles at you. "We got rid of one of the corrupt professors at this school. We would like to offer you the position as thanks."

"No need," you smile gently.

"Y/n, darling, are you sure you don't want to take up the position?"

"Yes," You smile. "I'm trying to keep a low profile."

"Even though you're a quadra elemental?"

"P-Principal Goodsky!" You exclaim. "There's-"

"He's a quadra elemental too,"

You freeze.

The two of you stare at the principal, and then the boy speaks up.

"I thought I asked to keep it a secret?"

"But the strong must stay together," She smiles. "So? Arthur? Would you like to take the position?"

He stares at the principal, and then sighs. "Sure."

You turn to stare at the boy. "I'm... Y/n, as you heard,"

You offer your hand.

"My name is Arthur Leywin," He smiles. "A quadra elementalist, but I'm just a dual one while at school."

"You're the boy who saved the princess girl!" You gasp.

"Ah, yeah, but you're the one who taught the professor a lesson," He scratches the back of his neck.

You stare at his aura, and you hum at the silver color. "If I hadn't, then you would've!"

You close your aura, and you smile at him. You watch as his brows furrow in confusion.

"My aura's turned off," You hum. "The professors like discriminating like that."

He hums.

"Ah right," You realize. "You have Professor Glory's class after this, right?"

"Ah yes," He smiles.

"Class starts in five minutes."

"Sh-" You stare at the window. "Do you mind if I jump the window?"

"Not at all," The principal smiles.

"THANK YOU PRINCIPAL!!" You warp through the window, and your bond catches you.

"That bond..."

"You sensed it too? Their bond excretes an uncanny amount of mana." The principal smiles. "I'm only looking forward to see how strong they themselves can get."

Arthur heads to class, and you drop down from the sky.

"Professor Glory," You smile.

"Ah, you must be the first year who was offered the teaching position," She smiles at you.

"No, no," You smile. "I turned it down."

"Such a shame, I was expecting a new colleague," She smiles at you.

"May I stay in the tree?"

"Of course," You jump into the tree, and you feed your bond.

Funny day?

Oh, please, I wish you watched me beat that old pedophile's ass.

I bet you had fun

I always have fun

The two of you stare as the rest of the students come flooding in.

The professor explains, and you watch as the disciplinary team and student council starts fighting.

Halfway through, you watch Arthur start pulling at the oxygen around him.

Then, there's a blast of magic, and time stops.

You jump off of the branch, and you rush to the arena while time is frozen to make sure no one dies.

You coat the blast with your mana, and once time continues, you swerve the mana down the cliff behind everyone, successfully avoiding harming Arthur with the elf princess in his arms.

The smoke on your uniform blows off, and you stare up at the professor.

"Professor Glory," You smile.

"That's enough for today," The professor hums. A blast of fire erupts behind her, and you watch as another student council member walks up to you, fire blazing behind him.

"You."

"Me," You smile at him teasingly.

The fire around him heads in your direction, and you put out all of his orbs. "What about me are you so pissed off about?"

He tries igniting the fire again, and you stare at the sky.

"Rain."

"Huh?"

His fire is doused immediately, and the other flame elemental students freeze in place, eyes wide at their fire mana drained.

"YOU-"

"Diverting your anger to an innocent bystander-"

"That's racially motivated," You grimace at the half-elf.

Everyone freezes in place. What?

"I get that your mixed, but is it really necessary to hate on someone who just saved someone from dying? Unless... you want the royal princess to die?"

"You-" Lucas tries summoning his fire again.

"You know, as a student council member, I was expecting you to be a bit more... I don't know..." You walk up to him, the wind around you blowing harder. "wiser?"

Your eyes glow green, and a tsunami forms behind him, the wind blowing on him even harder.

His eyes glow red, and you laugh at his futile attempt to use his element.

You drop the water carefully, and the wind stops abruptly. "I'll have you begging for death when you're not low on mana,"

"You-!"

The sky clears, and your bond grasps you by the wrist and pulls you into the air.

You fly off.

That was the second time.

You sigh, and you stare as Arthur teaches class.

"Thank you, professor!" You sing, and you leave class before he gets to dismiss you.

Quadra elementalists are supposed to be the strongest but, they too were the descendants of other elementalists, which led to you thinking about how, despite the fact that other forms of the core elements weren't controllable, they might be able to control.

You stare at the ice in front of you. "Water."

The water drains, and you watch as it becomes dry ice.

"Aim." The ice leaves a crack in the wall, and eventually, the wall made up of your mana shatters.

You stare at the dry ice.

"Absorb." The ice disappears, and the carbon merges with the atmosphere.

You stare at your hand and then at the ice that's gone.

One more element down.

Then comes the school field trip. It was funny because, at this point, you and Arthur had become relatively close.

"That was at least five snarlers." You stand there and watch as Professor Glory beheads all of them.

"At least five, huh?" Arthur pulls you by your hood, and you sigh.

"Yep!"

The students want to go further, and you sense a stronger one below.

"Arthur," You mumble under your breath. "I need you to get everyone out of here, I'm not sure that our professor will make it out alive if we don't do something."

"What?"

"Trust me." You set up a mana barrier at the door down, and you hold it up for as long as you can.

Then, an evolved snarler tries to break in.

"EVERYONE GET OUT!!" You yell, and you hold up the magic barrier.

"Y/N!"

You let the shield break on its own, and you bolt out of the cave with your professor and Arthur. Just as you're about to make it, your leg gets stabbed through, and your eyes widen as you're yanked down the ravine.

"Y/N!" Arthur screams.

You push them out with the last bit of wind, and while falling, you manage to burn the snarler without harming yourself.

You keep falling, and at some point, you start staring into the darkness.

"This kinda funny," You mumble. "But also extremely rude of them for letting me fall for this long. Fifi, check the surrounding before helping me. Anybody?"

"There's... a Lance down here."

"Get her tag and the memory."

The darkness goes silent, and then a bright light flies over.

"Sorry, master," Your bond flies in.

"Let's head to the Lance."

The bird flies you there, and you stare at the dead soldiers.

"Master, are you healed?"

"Yeah," You smile. "Your bond energy is incredibly strong."

You go through the water and stare in horror at all the dead soldiers.

This was going to take a long time.

You make it out alive, and as for the details in the cave... you'd rather not talk about it. But then again, you swore you were mentally unstable in this life. So what's better than showing up bloody and bruised to school?

You slam the door to the principal's office open.

"Morning, principal!" You beam, all bloody and battered, despite being healed.

"Y/N!" She rushes to you. "Are you ok?!"

"Alive," You give her a thumbs up.

"I need to let-"

"Y/N!" Arthur slams the door open and hugs you. "Oh, Y/n, you're alive!"

"You make it sound like that was sarcasm," You smile while patting his back.

"Thought you died," He mumbles into your shoulder.

"I bet that's what you tell the princess when she gets hurt," You laugh.

He rests his face in the crook of your neck, and you brush your hand through his hair.

"There, there," You pat his head. "Feel better?"

"I'll feel better when my harem isn't trying to date me, and you aren't trying to die on me."

"You pulled two princesses, Arthur, at this point you might as well pull all three and cause world peace." You snicker.

He lets out a shaky sigh into your neck.

Oh shit, that was real hot of him-

"Please, don't do that again."

"No promises," You hum.

You two stay like that, and the principal coughs.

"A-aH-"

"S-sorry principal," You smile sheepishly.

"No worries," She smiles. "Did, anything happen down there?"

"I would send a search team, but considering the memories..." You give her a tag.

"No..."

"Alea Triscan was found dead with the entire team." You hand her the tag, and you place your hand on her forehead. "Here are the memories."

You close your eyes and the memories flood to her.

You grimace, and the principal stares at you, wide-eyed. "No..."

"I wish that were a dream," You look to the side.

The principal asks for a minute, and you and Arthur leave her to rest.

"I heard you kissed Princess Tessia," You grin.

"H-Huh?!"

"Word spreads fast, especially since the princess and I are best friends." You smile at him. "Oh and I heard that you and the princess made a promise! I didn't know you were such a romantic!"

Arthur tries to keep calm, but his cheeks give him away with the rush of blood.

"So? Anything to say?"

"I..."

"Remember that you died a virgin in your past life, Arthur," You smirk at him. "You died at 38."

Arthur grows flustered at your words, and you laugh. "I was just teasing,"

"Then... are you willing to teach me?" There's a mysterious glint in his eyes.

You flick his forehead. "You can lose your v-card to the pretty princess you're promised too~!"

"What if I'm willing to break that promise for you?" He's serious...?

"Then that's just a dick move," You laugh. You wave him off and walk down the hall. "See you in class!"

Arthur watches as you walk down the hall, and his heart pounds against his chest.

Maybe... he had been mistaken about himself.
