4 4. As Expected, It's Hinata Shouyou
At lunchtime, he felt his phone vibrate. And quite often too. Out of curiosity, he immediately took out his phone and opened the chat group app. Turned out it was Kakashi who had already chatted with everyone. And it seemed everyone except Kakashi already changed their nickname in the chat group.
Copy Ninja: Are you really from another world? Sounds unbelievable.
Kuroneko: Oh, finally you know how to use a phone? You're Hatake Kakashi, right?
Copy Ninja: Yea. Are you really a character in a novel? And if you know me, does that mean I'm one of those people too?
Kuroneko: Well, at first, I thought it was only me who is a real person and the others were characters from novels, manga, or anime. But Miyamura said that I'm also a certain character in the novel. And after I browse the internet, it seems what he said was true when I found my own story in the novel. And annoyingly, I'm just a side character. That's irritating.
Tabane-chan: Hehe, as for me. I'm the last boss in my world. In other words, not only am I the most genius, but I'm also the most powerful person in the world.
Kazuma: A side character, the last boss, a ninja teacher, and a rom-com main character. You guys got so fucking good role already. Look at me! Not only am I the unluckiest main character, but I was thrown into the fantasy world with a useless goddess. Ah… fuck it to the hell!!!
Copy Ninja: Shouldn't the goddess be worshiped? Why did you say a useless goddess?
Tabane-chan: That's right. And a goddess should be a beauty, right? Aren't you the lucky one?
Kazuma: Heh… Have you ever seen a goddess begging for money and crying because she got dragged into the fantasy world with a hard way to go back? No, right? I've seen it in front of my eyes, you know!
Kuroneko: Pffttt, that's not something you can brag about, HikiNEET!
Kazuma: I'm not bragging, goddamn it!!! And don't call me HikiNEET!
Their chats somehow interested Izumi. It seemed all of them got along pretty well.
Izumi: Hello, Hatake Kakashi! By the way, I'm Miyamura Izumi. You seem to believe that we are from another world. Do you accept that we are not suspicious people?
Kuroneko: I feel it. I thought Kakashi would think twice or thrice before believing the others.
Copy Ninja: If it's the old me, maybe I don't trust you guys. But, seeing your interactions, I'm starting to believe that you are from another world. Besides, I'm also a little curious about the "learn magic" mentioned in the mission.
Izumi: He, how about we go together for the mission? In our world, magic is like romance to us. And I also want to learn magic.
Kuroneko: Hey, I also wanted to learn magic!
Izumi: Can you let me in first? When there's another mission, you can go!
Tabane-chan: Well, I'm not in a hurry to learn magic.
Copy Ninja: If all of you don't mind, then I will go.
Izumi: Then it's decided. Also, did any of you already use the body cleanser thingy?
Tabane-chan: I am. At first, I was disgusted because my body suddenly secreted black lumps with a bad smell. But after I shower, I feel so fresh and fit. I've never felt this fit before.
Izumi: In other words, it has a good effect, right?
Tabane-chan: Yup. All of you should try it too! It will benefit your body, although I don't know how much benefit you will get.
Kuroneko: I'll try it after school.
Izumi: Me too. It would create a sensation when black lumps suddenly came out of my body while I'm still in school.
Kazuma: …
Izumi: Something bad or embarrassing must have happened to Kazuma.
Kuroneko: Trying that body cleanser in the bar, then he secreted black lumps when everyone was still eating. Ugh, thinking about it, it's gross.
Izumi: Poor Kazuma. That's why you didn't say anything.
Kazuma: Please, don't bring up that incident. Besides, how do you even know? Are you espers?
Izumi: It has to do with psychology. Your behavior is predictable, Kazuma.
Kazuma: …
Izumi: By the way, Kakashi-san. Can I learn something to guide chakra inside my body?
Copy Ninja: Want to learn?
Kuroneko: I want!!!
Izumi: There's no way I don't want to learn Ninjutsu. So… Please teach us!
Copy Ninja: I don't know how to teach you from here.
Izumi: Use your phone, Kakashi-san. Like this…
Then Izumi explained slowly to Kakashi so he could understand his explanation. The app had a scan feature. When using the scan feature, one can point the camera at something which will be converted to a format like pdf or something like that. Izumi could have asked Kakashi to use the camera, but the scan feature was more efficient. For example, when using the scan feature and pointing the camera at a book, the feature will scan a book and its contents which will be converted in pdf or docx format. Simple, but useful.

After school, Izumi walked without paying attention while using his phone. Since he will go for the mission, he searched for some useful information. Although he wasn't sure the Fairy Tail world would be the same in the manga or anime, at least he would understand the basic information. When he thought about it, out of all five members from the chat group, only his world was different. While the others were in their respective worlds just like in the anime, manga, or novels, his world looked like it was mixed with worlds and characters from other anime, or manga. From what he knew currently, they were Horimiya, Haikyuu, Days, and Shokugeki worlds. He knew Days was also mixed when he learned the name of his classmates.
Suddenly someone bumped into Izumi while he was deep in thought. Izumi glanced to the side for a moment, then was surprised to see who bumped into him. He saw a short boy who only looked like a junior high school student with a height of approximately 162 cm with spiky orange hair.
"As expected, since there is Shiratorizawa, he should exist in this world too." Izumi said inwardly.
The one who bumped into him was none other than Hinata Shouyou. An energetic little guy who liked volleyball.
Even though Izumi knew him, he still pretended not to know and said.
"Hey, little guy! Can you look at the front when you run?"
"Sorry sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Are you okay?" Shouyou immediately apologized because he felt he was wrong. Though, Izumi sighed silently since he also didn't pay attention.
"Why are you running around? In the narrow alley?"
"Oh, it just because of the stupid king- I mean fighting with Kageyama, I got kicked from volley club." Shouyou replied while grumbling.
"Volleyball huh? Aren't you too short? Which mid school are you from? Why not play soccer instead?" Izumi grinned.
"Damn it, I'm in high school, Karasuno high school! You're so skinny, why can't you look at the mirror by yourself?" Shouyou mocked back.
"Heee, you sure you can talk, huh?" Izumi approached him to intimidate Shouyou.
Shouyou shuddered. He felt that Izumi was so scary just like the volleyball captain when got mad.
"Pffttt, hahaha. You're so funny. Don't worry, I'm not eating people! You don't need to be tense! By the way, I'm Miyamura Izumi from Katagiri high school. Are you from Karasuno?" Izumi laughed after looking at Shouyou's expression.
"Oh, how did you know that I'm from Karasuno?"
"There's no other school from your direction aside from Karasuno."
"Oh. Well, I'm Hinata Shouyou. Nice to meet you, Miyamura."
"Izumi is fine! Calling my family name is somewhat too distant."
Shouyou nodded at what Izumi suggested.
"Hey, can I play volleyball with you even though I'm not from the club or your school?"
"Eh, why? Doesn't Katagiri High School have its own volleyball court?"
What Shouyou said was right. His school not only has a volleyball court. But it even has a soccer field. So, Shouyou wondered why Izumi wanted to play volleyball in his school.
Izumi said in a low voice.
"You must already know, Karasuno has already reached the national level in volleyball, while my school has never. That's why I'm curious and want to try playing volleyball with you. Moreover, seeing how short you are, it reminds me of the little giant."
What Izumi said lit Shouyou's eyes after mentioning a little giant.
"Ah, I'll try to ask the captain first, Izumi-san. You know, I'm just a new member." Shouyou said with a smile.
"Then let's exchange our mail, contact me if your captain agrees!" Then, both of them exchange their mail addresses.
Shouyou went on his way after the exchange. Meanwhile, Izumi looked in Shouyou's direction while murmuring.
"Maybe I can help him to grow faster. To be honest, watching one of my favorite main characters collapse in the volleyball national tournament and lose is so unbearable. But, how?"
